Mandalay Resources' Costerfield gold-antimony mine in Australia continues to deliver high-grade production from the Youle vein. Exploration drilling has extended mineralization at depth in the Shepherd zone with numerous high-grade intercepts. The company is also conducting a deep drilling program targeting potential for additional high-grade deposits by drilling below existing workings.

High-Potential
Targets
• Costerfield is the second highest grade gold mine in Australia after neighboring
Fosterville mine. Shepherd discovery continues high grade results
• Increasing gold recoveries at plant (CavTube flotation commissioning in Q2 2021)
Targeting high-grade mineralization at depth
• Regional success has shown potential for super grade deposits within the region
• Deep hole program to be recommenced under Shepherd discovery in 2nd half of 2021
Surface drilling on highly-prospective targets
• Targets include Youle Extension, Damper Gully, True Blue, and Brown’s & Robinson’s
• Exploration update videos available here

20. Aurora Zone: Key to Lifting Underground Production
• Mineralization found to extend hundreds of
metres; previously was constrained by a marble
contact
• Significantly wider and consistently higher-grade
than current ore – open at depth
• Current known mineralization over 500 m
horizontally and 400 m vertically
• Readily accessible; 10 levels currently being
developed
• Stoping has been initiated on first levels
• Large step-out drilling occurring below and
East and West of currently known mineralization

21. Aurora Zone Exploration Success
Mineralization open in all directions
• Underground drilling campaign focused on extending
Aurora zone
• Drill results demonstrate potential to extend Aurora in all
