Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO, commented: "I am pleased with the latest set of drill results from Beta Hunt’s Western Flanks zone which continue to demonstrate the Mineral Resource growth potential of the mine.

Today’s announced results successfully reinforced the two main objectives of the Western Flanks drill program by extending the gold mineralized zone by 150 metres at depth, as demonstrated with an intercept of 13.6 g/t over 5.3 metres, and infill drilling demonstrated the potential to upgrade the current Mineral Resource, including a result of 5.9 g/t over 5.1 metres.  

Western Flanks is currently the largest known shear system at Beta Hunt and the continued growth of the zone is encouraging for both near term mining potential and extension of the life of mine. Beyond Western Flanks, the potential for additional gold Mineral Resources in drilling at A Zone North, Fletcher, Gamma and the newly discovered Sorrenson Zone underscores our goal of expanding the multiple shear zones currently defined at the underground operation.”

Beta Hunt Drilling Update

From May 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022, a total of 55 gold resource definition and exploration holes were drilled at Beta Hunt for 12,685 metres. Gold drilling focused on extending and infilling at Western Flanks and the Larkin Zone. Nickel drilling was limited to the Beta Block targeting the 25C (south of the 30C) and testing of the interpreted 44C trough west of the Western Flanks, with an update to be provided once all results are received and interpreted, expected later in 3Q 2022.  

Drilling Results

Significant drilling results and their location over the period May 1 to July 23, 2022 are shown in Figure 1 and detailed in Table 1. Results for the Larkin Zone were previously reported in the Karora news release date July 19, 2022.

Western Flanks Deeps: Drilling has been designed to support the Karora growth plan by upgrading and extending the current Mineral Resource. As part of the current program, drilling tested the down-dip continuation of the gold mineralization below the central portion of the deposit, up to 150 metres below the existing resource. Significant results returned to date from this drilling are highlighted below:

• WW-SP2-003AE: 6 g/t over 5.3 metres, including 113 g/t over 0.6 metres
• WW-SP2-009AE: 2.1 g/t over 7.6 metres
• WW-SP2-002AE: 2.7 g/t over 6.7 metres
• WW-SP2-002AE: 4.0 g/t over 8.3 metres (Footwall)

1. Interval lengths are estimated true widths.

Results show strong mineralization in the targeted main shear zone position up to 150 metres below the current resource and confirm the strength of the Western Flanks gold system which remains open at depth. The Main Shear Zone now extends over 350 metres down-dip. In addition to the Main Shear mineralization, drilling has also highlighted new footwall mineralization not previously included in any resource model. 

Western Flanks Resource Definition: Infill drilling was dominated by results received for Western Flanks Central with some results from the southern end of the deposit. Results generally support and, in some cases, have upgraded the current Mineral Resource. Significant results are listed below:

• WW-SP2-006AR: 2.8 g/t over 17.7 metres;
• WW386SP-06AR: 3.1 g/t over 11.7 metres
• WW386SP-01AR: 5.9 g/t over 5.1 metres;
• WW-SP2-004AR: 6.1 g/t over 4.5 metres

1. Interval lengths are estimated true widths

The Exploration and Resource Definition results are expected to expand the current Western Flanks Mineral Resource which represents Karora’s biggest, single Mineral Resource totaling 8.8Mt @ 2.7g/t 772kozs (Measured & Indicated) & 5.0Mt @ 2.7g/t, 437kozs (Inferred). The results will be incorporated into the updated Consolidated Mineral Resource due for release in Q4 2022.

A Zone North: Final results were returned from two holes drilled as part of the surface diamond drilling program with a best result of 8.1 g/t over 1.6 metres (estimated true width) in the targeted A zone position. This result along with the results from the rest of the surface drilling program will be incorporated into the updated Consolidated Mineral Resource.

Gold drilling results from infill nickel drill holes targeting the 25C and 30C in the Beta Block were also received. These holes were highlighted by 12.6 g/t over 2.4 metres (estimated true width) within the Larkin Zone. Larkin results were previously reported in Karora news release, July 19, 2022.

Compliance Statement (JORC 2012 and NI 43-101)

The disclosure of scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Stephen Devlin, FAusIMM, Group Geologist, Karora Resources Inc., a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

At Beta Hunt all drill core sampling is conducted by Karora personnel. Samples for gold analysis are shipped to SGS Mineral Services of Kalgoorlie for preparation and assaying by 50 gram fire assay analytical method. All gold diamond drilling samples submitted for assay include at least one blank and one Certified Reference Material ("CRM") per batch, plus one CRM or blank every 20 samples. In samples with observed visible gold mineralization, a coarse blank is inserted after the visible gold mineralization to serve as both a coarse flush to prevent contamination of subsequent samples and a test for gold smearing from one sample to the next which may have resulted from inadequate cleaning of the crusher and pulveriser. The lab is also required to undertake a minimum of 1 in 20 wet screens on pulverised samples to ensure a minimum 90% passing at -75µm. Samples for nickel analysis are shipped to SGS Australia Mineral Services of Kalgoorlie for preparation. Pulps are then shipped to Perth for assaying. The analytical technique is ICP41Q, a four acid digest ICP-AES package. Assays recorded above the upper detection limit (25,000ppm Ni) are re-analyzed using the same technique with a greater dilution (ICP43B). All samples submitted for nickel assay include at least one Certified Reference Material (CRM) per batch, with a minimum of one CRM per 20 samples. Where problems have been identified in QAQC checks, Karora personnel and the SGS laboratory staff have actively pursued and corrected the issues as standard procedure.
