I mean f me, its foot print and its depth seem to be open in nearly all directions
At the South East Crescent, growth drilling to expand the resource has commenced with two drill holes HAD086W1
and HAD133 extending the high grade mineralisation ~80m below the base of the Inferred Mineral Resource. These
intercepts are also below previously reported hole HAD065W2^^ (120.7m @ 9.3 g/t Au & 0.18 % Cu from 1,349.3m,
including 26.6m @ 34 g/t Au & 0.23 % Cu from 1,384.4m) and highlights significant high grade depth extension of
the South East Crescent zone. Drilling continues to define the extent of the high grade South East Crescent zone.
Results from HAD086W1 and HAD133 include:
? HAD086W1
o 99.7m @ 2.5g/t Au & 0.85% Cu from 1,308m
o including 50.4m @ 4.3g/t Au & 1.6% Cu from 1,313.6m
? HAD133
o 85m @ 11g/t Au & 0.29% Cu from 1,345m
o including 13m @ 32g/t Au & 0.46% Cu from 1,363m
o including 14.5m @ 32g/t Au & 0.33% Cu from 1,396.5m
HAD097W3 and HAD136 returned Crescent intercepts within the current Inferred Mineral Resource footprint. These
holes were designed to target depth extensions in the breccia mineralisation. They also show good alignment with
modelled grade and thickness within the South East Crescent zone which further supports the continuity of high
grade.
Results include:
? HAD097W3
o 47.8m @ 2.3g/t Au & 0.28% Cu from 620.2m
o including 28.3m @ 3.8g/t Au & 0.45% Cu from 639.7m
? HAD136
o 55.2m @ 2.5g/t Au & 0.65% Cu from 501m
o including 24.5m @ 5.4g/t Au & 0.95% Cu from 506.8m
At the Northern Breccia results from an additional three growth holes identified mineralisation outside of the Inferred
Mineral Resource footprint. These results support extensions to breccia mineralisation in the north west of the system
and further highlights the potential for resource extensions outside of the South East Crescent zone.

Currently, all drill rigs are operational on the growth drilling program with a focus on the South East Crescent depth
extensions below 4,200mRL, the north west extensions of the Northern Breccia Zone and higher grade crescent-like
mineralised zones. The intent of this drilling is to support the potential expansion of the existing Inferred Mineral
Resource estimate. Drill testing and interpretation of the geological and mineralisation controls of the Eastern Breccia
Zone is ongoing.
Further targets outside of Havieron, but within the joint venture area with Greatland Gold, have been identified with
the potential to conduct drilling to test these targets in the future.
