DISSEMINATED EX-SULPHIDIC MATERIAL FROM LAURISTON

An epizonal gold-antimony-arsenic mineralized project

which has the best potential to be the southern extension of the Fosterville Goldfield Belt, outside of Kirkland Lake’s extensive tenements.

Lauriston tenement contains the south extension of the Whitelaw Fault & Gold Belt

which is a key feature of the Bendigo Goldfield (22Moz) while Catalyst Metals are exploring the 75km northern extension of this structure with significant success.

“Vectoring in on the highly prospective major Redesdale, Whitelaw, and Taradale Faults projected underneath never explored thin young basalt cover.” – Doug Kirwin

PROJECT SUMMARY

  • Granted Area of 383 km² in five 5-year licenses
  • Applied for in early 2017 – A further 283 km² in application
  • Sparse modern exploration data – recent very encouraging geochemical surveys and drilling.
  • Significant past hard rock production 233,215 oz Au @ 20.7 g/t Au
  • Excellent structural setting at the edge of the Selwyn Block & at the southern extension of the key Redesdale Fault zone.
  • Lauriston – Very encouraging initial geochemical and shallow drilling data – Au-Sb-As grades and mineralized widths similar to the early Fosterville goldfield exploration
  • High-grade goldfields with successful production histories
  • Gold mineralization hosted by Ordovician slates and sandstones as well as igneous dykes in fault zones
  • Prospects with definite epizonal
    Au-Sb-As mineralization established by FSX exploration.
  • Prospect areas continue with encouraging wide low-grade drilling & trenching results, typical of these systems
  • Land holding increased with the addition of new tenements in the highly prospective belt.

SIGNIFICANT HARDROCK MINE PRODUCTION

RUSSELL’S REEF LONG SECTION

  • Russell’s Group of Mines with mine plans
  • No drilling
  • Consistent stoping,  consistent grade.
  • Stacked trough reefs were worked to 330m depth.
  • These structures continued to repeat at depth.
  • The mines produced 45,098 tons for 33,500 ounces at a grade of 22.7 g/t Au and at 105 ounces per vertical meter.
  • Parallel fold related reef systems occur
  • Stibnite reported

DRILL TARGETS AT LAURISTON

PREMIER RIDGE

(Au-Sb-As Fosterville Style)

Percussion drilling as follow up to previous trenching (eg 24m @ 0.99g/t)
Size potential @ 1000 meters long = ~62500 tonnes per vertical meter
Exploring for high grades within 1000m depth, as at Fosterville

O’CONNELL’S FIND
