GREATER DUCHESS COPPER GOLD PROJECT

New RC and diamond drilling results and further visual copper sulphide estimations from ongoing drilling at the Nil Desperandum and Lady Fanny copper gold discoveries are presented below and in Appendix 1 & 2.

Drilling continues with two drill rigs, a dedicated RC and a dedicated diamond drill rig.

NIL DESPERANDUM PROSPECT (CNB 82.5%, DCX 17.5%)

Carnaby continues to extend the Nil Desperandum high-grade discovery to the southwest targeting extensions of the high-grade breccia shoot and drill testing Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeability anomalies that have been shown to correlate exceptionally well with copper sulphide mineralisation.

Figure 1. Nil Desperandum Plan coloured by copper % times down hole width, also showing location of new results and planned holes.

It is becoming clear that the high-grade breccia shoot intersected in NLDD044 and NLDD084 is a new high-grade plunging pipe-like breccia shoot separate from the shallower, previously defined breccia shoot. Both shoots appear to have similar plunges to the SSW and remain completely open at depth (Figure 1). The breccia shoots appear to have formed within a broader SW trending mineralised corridor which is also completely open.

NLDD084

Diamond drill hole NLDD084 has intersected the down plunge continuation of the high-grade breccia shoot 70m down plunge from the original discovery hole NLDD044 that intersected 41m @ 4.1% copper (See ASX release 29 December 2021) (Figure 1).

NLDD084 intersected;

31m @ 3.9% copper, 1.0 g/t gold from 313m,

Including 24m @ 5.0% copper, 1.3 g/t gold from 313m

Including 12m @ 8.1% copper, 2.2 g/t gold from 322m
