NEWS RELEASE | 20 April 2023
Rudall Exploration Results
High grade gold mineralisation intersected at depth
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED
UNDER THE UK MARKET ABUSE REGULATIONS. ON PUBLICATION OF THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT VIA A REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE, THIS INFORMATION
IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN .
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP; Greatland or Company) is pleased to
announce the results of its 2022 drilling programme at the
100%-owned Rudall project in the Paterson Province of Western
Australia. The Ramses target is located within the Rudall tenement,
20km southeast of Greatland's flagship Havieron gold-copper
project. The single drill hole testing the Ramses target was
supported by a Western Australian Exploration Incentive Scheme
(EIS) grant (see RNS Announcement titled "Greatland awarded a
drilling grant for Paterson province exploration project" dated 10
May 2022).
Highlights
-- Hole RAD002 intersected 18.25m @ 22.0g/t Au from 924m (uncut)
to end of hole (EOH) at 942.25m, including 1m @ 393g/t Au from 926m
. Significantly, anomalous copper, silver, bismuth and arsenic
assays were recorded within the broad, altered intersection
-- The hole ended due to drilling limitations and mineralisation
is open at depth
-- Structural and geochemical work and a future downhole
electromagnetic survey are required to refine the potential for
mineralisation to extend into shallower positions within the
system
Greatland Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented:
"Our recent drilling at Rudall has delivered a significant and
high-grade result."
"While recognising the high-grade intercept is at depth, the
strong gold mineralisation and supporting pathfinder geochemistry
in consistently altered and veined basement sediments continues to
highlight the outstanding prospectivity within Greatland's tenement
package and the Paterson Province in general."
"These results, together with our continual improvement in
understanding of the covered basement geology, stratigraphy and
structure, increase our confidence in the prospectivity of the
region, and our ability to vector towards intrusion related and
other styles of mineralised systems on our extensive ground
holdings."
Overview of the 2022 Rudall Programme
The Ramses target, within the Rudall project (Figure 1), was
identified as a potential Havieron-style body from interpretation
and re-modelling of regional airborne magnetic and gravity data.
Following the granting of EIS funding for drill testing, a small,
ground moving loop electromagnetic survey utilising an Abitibi-RMIT
(ARMIT) sensor probe was completed prior to drilling in an attempt
to detect a conductive body. Results were inconclusive due to the
thickness of cover. To further refine the drill target, the
magnetic anomaly was forward modelled by Adelaide Mining Geophysics
( Figure 3 ). Modelling estimated cover to extend to a depth of
between 300m and 700m over a 500m wide vertical roughly cylindrical
body.
Diamond drill hole RAD002 was drilled to a depth of 942.25m to
ensure success in penetrating through the cover into the
Proterozoic basement and magnetic target zone.

Ramses Target
Drilling intersected the Permian Canning Basin sediment contact
unconformity at a depth of 566m downhole (approximately 557m
vertical). The underlying target Proterozoic Yeneena sedimentary
stratigraphy consisted of generally sub-horizontally bedded,
fine-grained sandstones interbedded with variably calcareous, silty
sandstone to limestone rich sedimentary units.
A second, angular unconformity was noted within basement rocks
at 924m downhole, where barren, sub-horizontally bedded, dark,
fine-grained carbonaceous shaley siltstones overlay the pale
green-brown, silica-carbonate-sericite altered and mineralised
sandstone package ( Figures 3 and 4 ). Bedding in the mineralised
unit below 924m displays open folding with a maximum dip of 67(o)
about an E-W fold axis, with a sub-vertical axial planar foliation.
Two cross-cutting vein sets, the first dipping 21(o) towards the
south and a steep set dipping 70(o) towards 240(o) (SSW) were noted
in the altered sandstones which appear linked to the gold
mineralisation and alteration. The presence of iron oxide-stained
sediments at such great depth indicates potential uplift and
exposure to air and water at some earlier stage.

The entire sandstone sequence below the interpreted unconformity
was altered and mineralised, ( Figure 4 and Table 2 ), including
several narrow intervals of significantly anomalous multi-element
pathfinder elements such as bismuth, arsenic, silver and copper
(Appendix 1).
Subsequent laboratory screen fire assay check analyses for gold
confirmed the single metre, high-grade assay and overall
mineralised intersection tenor. No bias between the fine fraction
and coarse fraction assays in the screen fire results was noted,
giving a high degree of confidence in the initial results.

Next Steps
The presence of steep dipping veining within the mineralised
zone increases the potential that the mineralisation extends to the
top of the basement at approximately 550m below surface. For
context, the Havieron deposit occurs at 420m below surface.
To test this, further structural and geochemical work along with
a downhole electromagnetic survey of hole RAD002 to identify any
off-hole conductors, will refine the potential for the
mineralisation to extend to a shallower position within the
basement.

About Greatland
Greatland is a mining development and exploration company
focused primarily on precious and base metals.
The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron
gold-copper project in the Paterson Province of Western Australia,
discovered by Greatland and presently under development in joint
venture with ASX gold major, Newcrest Mining Limited.
Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's
existing Telfer gold mine. The box cut and decline to the Havieron
orebody commenced in February 2021. Development continues to
accelerate with record advancement achieved in the December 2022
quarter. Havieron is intended to leverage the existing Telfer
infrastructure and processing plant. Access to Telfer will de-risk
the development, reduces capital expenditure and lowers the
project's carbon footprint.
Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration
success and is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral
deposits by applying advanced exploration techniques in
under-explored regions. Greatland has a number of exploration
projects across Western Australia and in parallel to the
development of Havieron is focused on becoming a multi-commodity
miner of significant scale.

Geology
* Deposit type, geological setting and style of * Exploration is for intrusion related and orogenic,
mineralisation structurally controlled Au-Cu deposits similar to
Telfer, Havieron and Winu, all located in
Neo-Proterozoic Yeneena Group sediments of the
Paterson Province, Western Australia

Information understanding of the exploration results including a Table 1 and anomalous results in Table 2
tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
* easting and northing of the drill hole collar
* elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
* dip and azimuth of the hole
* down hole length and interception depth
* hole length
* If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the

Relationship
between * These relationships are particularly important in the * No economically significant results are reported, and
mineralisation reporting of Exploration Results there is no known relationship between reported
widths widths and the geometry of any mineralisation
and intercept
lengths * If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be * All intercepts are reported downhole as true width is
reported not known
* If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known')
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------
Diagrams
* Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and * Maps are provided in Figures 1-2. No significant
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any discovery is reported
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------
Balanced
reporting * Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration * The reporting is considered balanced
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------
Other
substantive * Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, * No other substantive exploration data other than that
exploration should be reported including (but not limited to): provided in the figures
data geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances

Further
work * The nature and scale of planned further work (eg * Downhole EM of RAD002 is planned for 2023
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling)
