PATERSON – BLACK HILLS
14
www.greatlandgold.com
- Tactical acquisition during bear market, Greatland owns 100% of Black Hills (E45/4512)
- Black Hills sits adjacent to the north-western border of Greatland’s Havieron licence
- Hosts known high grade gold at surface in similar style to the Newcrest Telfer mine (30km
west of Black Hills)
- Comprehensive review of historic data has identified four distinct zones of gold mineralisation
(Saddle Reefs, Eastern, Rogers and Northern Granites)
BLACK HILLS - OVERVIEW
15
www.greatlandgold.com
High priority exploration opportunity Commenced Greatland’s first exploration campaign on 18 June 2018
- Multiple gold nuggets and gold pieces in bedrock discovered in first few days
- Licence’s prospectivity for high-grade, near-surface gold mineralisation means that exploring
Black Hills’ potential will be a relatively low-cost and low-risk endeavour
- Acquisition is a continuation of Greatland’s strategy to target under-explored areas with
significant potential
Field work commenced on 18 June 2018 at Saddle Reefs prospect area
- Multiple gold nuggets and gold pieces in bedrock
discovered in first few days of maiden exploration programme
- High grade gold detected in rock chip samples, 11
- f 28 samples collected returned over 10g/t gold,
best gold results include 81.7g/t, 45.7g/t, 37.6g/t
- Rock chip sample results have established an 800
metre strike length of surface gold mineralisation at the Saddle Reefs prospect
- Recent 3DIP survey outlined a large, virtually
untested, buried target at Saddle Reefs over 1,000m of strike, which is coincident with high- grade gold mineralisation at surface

FIRETOWER AND WARRENTINNA PROJECTS
17
www.greatlandgold.com
- Firetower covers an area of 62km² in central-north
Tasmania
- Most drilling to date has not exceeded 100m in
depth and covers only a small portion of the targeted 4km strike length: previous drill intercepts include 29m at 2.39g/t gold, 17m at 5.37g/t gold (incl. 1m at 30g/t) and 10m at 6.2g/t
- Greatland conducted a 3DIP survey to assist in
- utlining the trend of mineralisation across a
1.6km strike length
- Results of 3DIP survey highlight a large target,
- approx. 1,000 metres long, traversing east-west
across Firetower project
- Greatland working on plans for a drill programme
in H1 2019 to test the new large target
FIRETOWER - OVERVIEW
18
www.greatlandgold.com
- Host rocks equivalent to goldfields in
Victoria, Australia (+50moz gold)
- Project area cover 37 km² and includes
15km of strike of prospective rocks
- Derby North – Greatland RC drilling has
returned results including 1m at 103g/t gold and 5m at 29.2 g/t gold
- Results from late 2016 RC drilling campaign
(6 RC holes) included 5m at 2.4 g/t Au including 1m at 4.7 g/t Au
- Mineralisation remains open to the north
and east and at depth

ERNEST GILES PROJECT
20
www.greatlandgold.com
- Ernest Giles project covers a vast and
virtually unexplored greenstone sequence
- f over 200km of strike of gold prospective
rocks
- Drilling in late 2016 identified two large
zones of gold mineralisation at the Meadows target
- In 2017, Deep Sensing Geochemistry work
at Meadows identified several new anomalies, including a large 5km by 1.5km gold anomaly
- In 2018, drill campaign at Meadows
extended two previously identified large zones of gold mineralisation. Greatland’s first drill campaign at Wishbone detected gold, silver and copper mineralization (up to 38ppb gold and 0.15% copper)
ERNEST GILES - OVERVIEW
21
www.greatlandgold.com
Why Dominate a Greenstone Belt?
- Greatland dominates the Ernest Giles gold
province with a landholding of approximately 2,000 square kilometres
- Most of the major gold deposits in Western
Australia are hosted by the greenstone belts
- All greenstone belts hold some amount of gold
with several areas hosting very large deposits The Future of Big Discoveries?
- Greatland’s view is that many of the multi-million
- unce gold deposits discovered over the next 20
years will be those that currently lie under significant cover
- The greenstone sequences east of Laverton were,
until recently, very poorly explored due to their remote location and cover sequences

PANORAMA PROJECT
23
www.greatlandgold.com
- Three adjoining granted exploration licences
covering 155 km² in the Pilbara region. Gold targets identified on northern and southern licences
- In Northern licence, rock chip sampling results
returned up to 18.45g/t gold confirming historic rock chip results and indicating a potential high grade zone of gold mineralisation up to 3.2km long
- In Southern licence, two clusters of gold
anomalies were identified by soil and stream sampling coincident with the base of Mt Roe basalt and adjacent conglomerate
- Project occupies dominant and strategic position
across what is potentially largest coherent cobalt in streams anomaly in Western Australia

BROMUS PROJECT
25
www.greatlandgold.com
- Drilling in 2016/17 (six diamond holes) targeted
a 4.5km long ultramafic unit that was assessed to have potential for nickel sulphides
- Broad, low level, nickel intercepts reported
including 48m at 0.14%
- More interestingly, anomalous levels of silver,
zinc, cadmium and sulphur detected that are indicative of a polymetallic VMS-type system
- Results merit further investigation, VMS-style
system a relatively new discovery for the region
BROMUS - OVERVIEW
