ASX Announcement29 JULY 2021
Executive Summary
Great Boulder has experienced an exciting quarter. With significant success at Whiteheads and Side Well leading to successive ASX announcements in early May. The Company has seen a significant uplift in share price accompanied by increased market awareness and media coverage.
A second round of RC drilling at the Blue Poles prospect at Whiteheads confirmed a broad zone of thick, continuous gold mineralisation along a 450m strike. Blue Poles remains open down-dip, and gold grades in wide-spaced drilling to the north and south suggest potential for extensions in both directions. The Company has since completed a third round of RC to infill and extend Blue Poles, as well as a 100-hole regional air-core (AC) drilling program testing other prospects in the area.
After a series of AC programs at Mulga Bill to generate gold targets, the first round of exploratory RC holes returned some exceptionally high-grade intersections including6m @ 31.25g/t Auin 21MBRC002 and4m @ 26.42g/t Auin 21MBRC017. This 29-hole program confirmed two sub- parallel gold lodes; a western lode position has been drilled along a strike of 900m and an eastern lode position has been drilled over 500m. Both lodes remain open at depth and along strike, and similar targets remain to be tested to the north and south of this area.
Another important development at Mulga Bill is the analysis of multi-element assays from GBR’sdrilling programs, leading to recognition of a trace element association indicative of an intrusive- related gold system. This understanding, along with the fact that the geochemistry reveals a very strong, broad bismuth footprint coincident with the gold lodes over an open 1,200m strike extent, indicates Mulga Bill has significant scale potential along strike and at depth.
Mulga Bill now has the makings of a large, high-grade gold system. The Company aims to test this hypothesis with ongoing drilling programs as quickly as possible.

Multi-element Geochemical Analysis
Great Boulder’s standard drilling procedure includes submitting a sample from the bottom of eachhole, as well as sampling every 30m down the hole, for multi-element analysis. This procedure provides assay data for 48 elements, allowing detailed analysis of lithogeochemistry as well as alteration patterns and mineral system pathfinders. The Company has amassed over 450 multi- element assays across Mulga Bill.
The data was assessed by Dr Scott Halley in June. Dr Halley identified a large-scale, high-tenor pathfinder association indicative of an intrusive-related gold system, with elevated levels of bismuth, copper and molybdenum coincident with gold values in Great Boulder’s AC and RC drilling. Thebismuth association is particularly compelling, highlighting an extremely high-tenor, broad runway approximately 120m wide and more than 1,200m long over the western lode position, limited only by a lack of multi-element data at either end.

ASX Announcement29 JULY 2021
To put these numbers into context there are two key aspects that are relevant:
any bismuth values above 1ppm Bi in the Yilgarn are regarded as significantly anomalous.
gold deposits in the Yilgarn with a bismuth association often show anomalous values that extend a few centimetres to a few metres from the gold lodes, making the bismuth a very
localised halo around the gold.
At Mulga Bill the bismuth halo peaks at over 121ppm, and the 1ppm bismuth contour is 120m wide. This data indicates a large, high-energy intrusive-related gold system (IRGS) which has pumped large volumes of mineralising fluids through Mulga Bill, leaving a massive Au-Bi-Cu-Mo footprint with the high-grade gold lodes at its core.
This development is an important breakthrough in the Company’s understanding of Side Well, as itunderpins the potential for Mulga Bill to host a significantly large gold endowment.
The IRGS interpretation indicates potential for significant large-scale continuity well beyond the current limits of drilling. The bismuth association is also a strategic benefit for ongoing exploration, as it means bottom-of-hole AC samples in the weathered zone can be used to test gold prospectivity at 100m or even 200m hole spacing. Any area with elevated bismuth will form an immediate target for follow-up exploration. Gold is greatly dispersed in the weathered zone at Side Well.

Regional AC Drilling
During May the Company completed a 53-hole AC program testing Mulga Bill as well as four other potential targets regionally, including six holes at Matilda. Unfortunately, the rig used for this program struggled with drilling conditions at Side Well and the targets remain inadequately tested. FurtherAC drilling will be planned once all the assays from May’s program are received.
Soil Sampling–Jones Well
During April a large soil sampling program was completed over the north-western area of the Side Well project where there has been little or no previous exploration activity. This area is regarded as prospective for gold mineralisation due to the significant amount of structural complexity shown in the regional magnetic image. The Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt pinches through this area heading north to Andy Well, with a number of cross-cutting faults and small intrusions disrupting the greenstone sequence.
Soils in this area tend to be leached, meaning gold anomalies are much more subtle compared to the higher-tenor anomalies around Whiteheads. Arsenic and silver are useful pathfinder elements, as is copper with its strong association at Mulga Bill.
The program comprised 948 samples on a 400m by 50m grid. As expected, gold values were very low with 2ppb Au and above being anomalous. Silver assays were similarly low. However, some coincident gold-silver anomalies appear to be associated with lithological contacts and warrant further sampling.
Arsenic and copper reported larger anomalies, particularly a coincident As-Cu anomaly at the south- western end of the sampling grid encompassing an area of more than 1km2. Additional sampling will be completed to infill this anomaly and extend coverage as far as residual soils extend to the south.
Next Steps
Drilling activity at Side Well continued into July with another round of RC drilling at Mulga Bill, followed immediately by AC drilling intended to infill areas to the north of the two high-grade lodes.
As announced to ASX on 20 July 2021 a diamond drill rig has commenced a program to drill five deeper holes in the central Mulga Bill area, obtaining drill core for structural and lithological analysis.
An RC rig has been confirmed for the whole of August, with Mulga Bill as the priority target and the possibility of drilling other targets at Whiteheads as well. During September the Company anticipates completing another air-core program testing regional targets. Depending on progress with the soil anomalies some of these may be tested during the same program.

Whiteheads Project
Whiteheads is located approximately 45km north of Kalgoorlie and north of the nearby Kanowna Belle gold mine. The project covers an area of 488km2between the Silver Swan and Carr Boyd nickel projects straddling the boundary between the Kalgoorlie terrane to the west and the Kurnalpi terrane to the east.

0.29g/t Au from 44m to the end of hole (i.e. top of fresh rock) in 21WHAC025. Gunners requires more drilling to the south to fully test its potential (Figure 12).
At a new prospect called Tektite, approximately 1.5km south of Blue Poles, 17 holes were drilled on four fences across a 50ppb Au auger anomaly. Results were encouraging, with a best intersection of 4m @ 1.50g/t Au from 56m in 21WHAC006, near the bottom of the hole. This result compares well to the early AC results at Blue Poles.
Another 2km south of Tektite a single fence of AC holes was drilled in an east-west line across theArsenal Trend. These results were also encouraging, particularly as they are effectively “wild cat”holes with no supporting data other than the Arsenal Trend itself. Results include 4m @ 0.49g/t Au from 52m in 21WHAC045, and 1m @ 0.82g/t Au from 40m to EOH in 21WHAC048. These results require follow-up drilling, and they also support the Company’sinterpretation the whole Arsenal Trend is a prospective target.
Jubilee North is a conceptual target based upon a historic geological map of the area which shows a semi-circular feature visible in magnetic data and interpreted to be a porphyry intrusion. On the south-western edge of this feature auger sampling has revealed a broad 10ppb Au anomaly approximately 1.7km long and 450m wide. The lithological contact and position of this target is interesting, being structurally similar to the location of the Mt Marion gold mine south of Kalgoorlie (Figure 10).
18 AC holes were drilled on two fences 600m apart over the auger anomaly. Two holes intersected anomalous grades, with a best result of 4m @ 2.11g/t Au from 52m in 21WHAC089. This result is very encouraging for first-pass exploration on such a large target area.
Lastly 25 AC holes were drilled on a geochemical target south of Hillsborough. Results were somewhat disappointing, with one shallow intersection of 4m @ 0.23g/t Au from 12m in 21WHAC089. Hillsborough is a large and prospective area and will require further work.
RC Drilling
In June 22 RC holes were drilled at Blue Poles for a total of 2,985m. The drilling was designed to infill Blue Poles along the western side of the main lode, as well as testing potential extensions to the north.
Given the current lag in assay processing times, results from this drilling are expected in early August.
Auger Geochemistry
An auger sampling contractor is currently completing first-pass auger sampling over the Wishbone area in the western part of the Whiteheads Project. Wishbone is notable for the fact it has only

Next Steps
Regional auger sampling programs are continuing at Whiteheads on a campaign basis, testing anumber of areas highlighted by GBR’s early work.
AC and RC drilling at Whiteheads will continue in conjunction with programs at Side Well. Targets along the Arsenal Trend will remain the priority for RC drilling, while small, targeted AC programs will be used to test anomalies generated by the auger program.
The Company is considering a regional airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey, however this has not yet been confirmed nor scheduled.

Wellington Zn-Pb Project
In April the Company secured a large project area in the Earaheedy Basin, an area which has potential to become a world-class Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Zn-Pb province. This potential hasbeen demonstrated by Rumble Resources’ recent exploration success at their Chinook andMagazine discoveries.
The new tenements overlie the prospective Frere Formation within the Proterozoic Earaheedy Basin, with targets generated by GBR in May last year from analysis of publicly available GSWA geochemical data sets. The Wellington Project covers an area of 1,134km2of prospective stratigraphy including more than 60km of strike highlighted by pathfinder geochemistry. This scale is a similar scale target to the early-stage exploration data that led to Rumble’s major discovery.
FIGURE13:THE WELLINGTON PROJECT IS LOCATED170KM EAST OF WILUNA IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Once granted, the Company intends to commence low-impact regional exploration such as soil sampling, mapping and reconnaissance to confirm target areas. Geophysical surveys such as gravity and airborne magnetics are also expected to play a key role in identifying structures likely to influence mineralisation within carbonate horizons within or at the base of the Frere Formation.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data: Whiteheads Air-core Drilling
24
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
Commentary
Sampling techniques
Air Core samples were collected over 1m intervals using a cyclone splitter with sample piles placed in rows on cleared ground next to the drill collar. The entire hole was composited over 4m intervals or less with scoop samples of each 1m pile combined in a calico sample bag.
The sampling techniques used are deemed appropriate for the style of exploration.
Drilling techniques
Drilling was undertaken by Prospect Drilling using a KL150 aircore rig. Industry standard air core methods and equipment were utilised.
Drill sample recovery
Sample condition has been logged for every composited interval as part of the sampling process. Sample recovery was not recorded for this drill program
No quantitative twinned drilling analysis has been undertaken.
Logging
Geological logging of drilling followed established company procedures. Qualitative logging of samples includes lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. Abundant geological comments supplement logged intervals.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation
1m cyclone splits and 4m composite samples were taken in the field. Samples were prepared at Intertek in Kalgoorlie and analysed at Intertek in Perth. Samples were pulverized so that each sample had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. A 50g allotment was then analysed by fire assay using Intertek method FA50/OE04.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests
All samples were assayed by industry standard techniques.
Verification of sampling and assaying
A fine-grained blank and certified reference material were inserted every 50 samples. No duplicates were taken in this program. No QAQC problems were identified in the results. No twinned drilling has been undertaken.
Data spacing and distribution
Drill spacing is varied for the entire AC drill program. The results reported above were obtained from drill holes spaced 50m apart on east-west lines.
The spacing and location of data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure
Drilling is dominantly perpendicular to regional geological and geochemical trends where interpreted and practical.
The spacing and location of the data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes.

Mineral tenement and land tenure status
The project is located between 45 and 70km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie on the Yarri Road. The
tenement package is comprised of two active Exploration License and one EL application. The granted tenement E27/544 covers an area of approximately 185km2including up to 15km of strike on a number of potential mineralized trends. Tenements E24/588 and ELA27/622 cover an additional 22 and 10 graticular blocks respectively. Once granted, these tenements will add approximately 49km2to the project area.
Exploration done by other parties
The Whiteheads project area has been the focus of exploration efforts dating back to the 1960’s. Thebulk of the earlier exploration efforts were focussed on the nickel potential of the region following discoveries at the Black Swan, Silver Swan and Carr Boyd deposits. Various exploration campaigns by multiple companies utilising differing methods have been undertaken for nickel, VMS and gold targets. The differing exploration and analysis techniques has resulted in a patchwork of exploration datasets that are not easily comparable.
Small-scale historical gold workings are present within the tenure that have a protracted history of mining. Publicly available data for these deposits indicate selective mining of high-grade gold veins.
Geology
The Whiteheads Project lies proximal to the interpreted boundary between the Archean Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi Terranes of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. This boundary also marks the separation of the Boorora (Kalgoorlie Terrane) and Gindalbie (Kurnalpi Terrane) Domains based on volcanic facies relationships. This boundary is marked by a zone of faulting and shearing historically called by various names including the Mt Monger (Swager and Griffin 1994) and Ockerburry Fault (Blewitt and Hitchman 2006). The Boorora Domain is dominated by mafic and ultramafic lithofacies with minor sediments and felsic volcanics. The Gindalbie Domain contains a significant package of bimodal volcanics, sedimentary units and lesser ultramafic lithologies. 3 separate greenstone succession have been recognized within the Gindalbie Domain, with the uppermost bi-modal formation the only one present within the project area. The above successions have experienced at least 4 phases of deformation and display mid-greenschist facies metamorphism.
The project area contains a significant amount of transported cover consisting of colluvium, sand plains and laterite. Tertiary aged paleochannels transect the project area. Tertiary duricrust comprises insitu lateritic duricrust to colluvium products derived from insitu material.
Several historic workings are located within the project area including the historic Whitehead Find, Patches, Seven Leaders, Lady Betty and Jewellery Box gold workings along with widespread shallow workings. Gold mineralisation is related to extensive shearing and quartz veining along lithological contacts. The Whiteheads Project is located directly along strike to the north of KalNorth Gold MinesLimited’s LindsayGold project. No definitive nickel mineralisation has been identified to date within the project area however the Black Swan, Silver Swan and Carr-Boyd Nickel deposits are all located within the region and the project remains prospective for further nickel discoveries.

Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status
Side Well tenement E51/1905 is a 48-block exploration license covering an area of 131.8km2 immediately east and northeast of Meekatharra in the Murchison province. Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd currently owns 100% of the tenement with GBR acquiring a 24thMonth option to form a joint- venture.
Exploration done by other parties
Tenement E51/1905 has a protracted exploration history but is relatively unexplored compared to other regions surrounding Meekatharra. The Exploration history by previous explorers has been described in the technical section of the announcement.
Geology
The Side Well tenement group covers a portion of the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt north of Meekatharra, WA. The north-north-easterly trending Archaean Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt, comprises a succession of metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic and felsic and sedimentary rocks belonging to the Luke Creek and Mount Farmer Groups.
Over the northern extensions of the belt, sediments belonging to the Proterozoic Yerrida Basin unconformably overlie Archaean granite-greenstone terrain. Structurally, the belt takes the form of a syncline known as the Polelle syncline. Younger Archaean granitoids have intrusive contacts with the greenstone succession and have intersected several zones particularly in the Side Well area.
Within the Side Well tenement group, a largely concealed portion of the north-north-easterly trending Greenstone Belt is defined, on the basis of drilling and airborne magnetic data, to underlie the area. The greenstone succession is interpreted to be tightly folded into a south plunging syncline and is cut by easterly trending Proterozoic dolerite dykes.
There is little to no rock exposure at the Side Well prospect. This area is covered by alluvium and lacustrine clays, commonly up to 60 metres thick.

Data has not been aggregated. No metal equivalents are used.
Refer to figures in announcement.
Subsequent to Doray Minerals Limited exiting the project in 2015, private companies have held the ground with no significant work being undertaken.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
The orientation of structures and mineralisation is not known with certainty, but majority of the drilling drilling was conducted using appropriate perpendicular orientations for interpreted mineralisation. Diamond drilling has confirmed a mineralised intrusive body at Side Well has a near vertical dip and trends broadly north-south. Due to the wide spacing of drill lines exact orientation is not clear.
Balanced reporting
It is not practical to report all historical exploration results from the Side Well project. Selected historical intercepts have been re-reported by GBR to highlight the prospectivity of the region. Full drillhole details can be found in publicly available historical annual reports.
