Bellevue Gold Project, Western Australia - A Significant High-Grade Gold Deposit

The Bellevue Gold Project is located in the northern part of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone belt in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia. The project is approximately 40 kilometres north by sealed highway from the regional centre of Leinster and covers approximately 1,930km2. Bellevue Golds total exploration tenement package including applications covers in excess of 3,600km2.

High grade gold was mined at the project at various times for over 100 years at the Bellevue lode through to 1997 when the operation shut down at around 430 metres below surface. Around 800,000 ounces of gold have been produced at a reported head grade of ~ 15 g/t from a narrow vein operation. After the mine closure in 1997 very little modern exploration was completed at the project and Bellevue Gold is undertaking the first systematic exploration at the property in the last 20 years.

Resource Upgrade at the Bellevue Gold Project2

In February 2019, Bellevue Gold released a resource upgrade at the Bellevue Gold Project.

The update incorporates the geological and depletion model for the Bellevue Surrounds area and is based on a combination of historical and BGL diamond drilling at the project. The estimate builds on the October 2018 global resource of 2.6 Mt @ 12.3 g/t 1,040,000 of contained gold (refer ASX announcement on 22/10/18).

The February upgrade reflects a 54% increase in global tonnes, a 47% increase in contained metal and only a 4% reduction in global grade.

Mineralisation remains open and further expansion drilling is continuing on site with four diamond core drill rigs currently operating.

The current global resource is divided into four main domains of what is a continuous high-grade vein lode system. All resources are contained within the top 600 metres from surface and remain open both along strike and at depth. Mineralisation is characterised by a pyrhotite, chalcopyrite mineralisation assemblage associated with deformed quartz veins hosted within biotite, amphibole shears within the Mount Goode basalt sequence. The breakdown of the resource domains is reported below in Table 2.

Exploration results reported in Q1 2019 were not included in the current reported project resource inventory.

Diamond Drilling Continuing at the Project

The company continued a significant exploration program with 18,260m of diamond drilling completed during the quarter at the Tribune, Viago and Bellevue discoveries. Results are still pending for the majority of the drilling completed during the quarter and results will be made available at the first opportunity.

Exploration Results Reported During the Quarter

Significant strike extensions were reported at the Tribune and Viago discoveries from ongoing exploration drilling during the reporting period.

High grade mineralisation in the Tribune Mineralised Shear has now been extended approximately 350 metres north of the original resource envelope (currently 650 metres of strike length) and a further 50 metres south and remains completely open.

Diamond drill core hole DRDD111 has intersected 6m @ 24.9 g/t gold from 188 metres downhole (ASX 14/3/2019)1 indicating further high-grade ore shoots 350 meters to the north hosted in the Tribune Shear. This intercept is located in the hanging-wall to the historic Bellevue Mine.

High-grade mineralisation has also been extended further south with the most southern hole drilled at Tribune DRDD112 intersecting 6.5m @ 22.2 g/t gold from 96 metres down hole (ASX 14/3/2019)1 .

High grade lode positions at Tribune are defined by gently southerly plunging ore shoots controlled by fold axes within the shear zone. These folds at Tribune have an analogous fold asymmetry and plunge lineation to mineralisation at the Bellevue lode located just 300 metres to the east.

The long section of Tribune with the recent piercements is shown in Figure 10 showing the gentle plunge of the high-grade shoots, similar to the historic Bellevue Mine, ore shoots remain completely open both to the north and south and at depth.

Viago Lode: Drilling Confirms Northern Discovery, Doubles Strike Length to 1,400 metres & Remains Open Both North & South. (ASX 14/3/2019)1

Recent first pass broadly spaced diamond core drilling has extended the initial resource envelope of 750 metres strike length by approximately 550 metres to the north in the hanging wall of the Bellevue Mine and a further 200 metres to the south. The previously reported Viago resource is 550,000 ounces @ 22.0 g/t gold of inferred category resources over a strike length of only 750 metres (refer ASX 22/10/18)2.

• The Viago Shear strike length has now been doubled to a total of 1,400 metres and remains open to the north and south.

• DHEM has indicated the continuation of the significant EM plates into this area which are largely untested, and mineralisation remains open to the north.

• The DHEM plates are similar to what the Company encountered in its first pass drilling when it discovered the Viago Lode (refer ASX 17/7/18).

To the north the Viago Lode has been offset approximately 50 metres by an east-west trending normal fault with a southerly dip (north block moved up – northern extensions are 50 metres shallower). Mineralisation remains open to the north.

Four diamond drill core holes have intersected the Viago Lode with visible fine-grained gold present in all drill holes, the most northern hole (DRDD111) intersected 2.6 metres @ 15.4 g/t gold from 397.7 metres as well as hole DRDD128 which intersected 2.4 metres @ 15.4 g/t gold from 445.4 metres and hole DRDD114 returned 4.0 metres @ 14.8 g/t gold from 544.6 metres.

To the south the Viago Lode has been extended a further 200 metres with initial broad reconnaissance step-out drilling on 160 metre drill spacings. Drilling to the south indicates the Viago Shear to be more bifurcated than the northern Viago Shear, often split into two or three mineralised shears associated within a much broader and strongly sheared zone.

To the south diamond drill hole DRDD101 returned 3.9 metres @ 8.1 g/t gold (including 0.35 metres @ 78.2g/t gold) and hole DRDD120 returned 1.7 metres @ 34.6 g/t gold from 623.7 metres.

Diamond drilling to the south has been complicated by excessive deviation of the drill rods meaning on several holes the drill target has been missed by significant distances. A new drill pad is currently being located to help minimise this drilling deviation as well as the use of navigational downhole drilling tools. This will then allow correct targeting of the high priority DHEM targets that were missed by these recent southerly drill holes. While the southern drill pad is prepared the drilling will continue targeting the Viago north extensions.

Camp Expansion

The exploration camp at the Bellevue Gold Project has been upgraded to 20 beds with the installation of 8 new accommodation units. Core handling facilities were also increased to handle an expected increase in core production during Q1 2019.

A further 12 beds are scheduled for installation Q2 2019 to accommodate early project development.

Regional Exploration (ASX 11/4/2019)1

Government Well Prospect: +4 km long gold trend with significant historical high-grade drill results and recent high-grade rock chips.

Multiple gold trends over more than 4 km in strike length have been identified from historical drilling, old workings and recent rock chip sampling at the Government well target area, 4.5 km to the north of the Bellevue Gold Deposit - refer to Figure 16.

Historical drill results include:

• 2m @ 19.7 g/t Gold from 32m in GC002.

• 10m @ 1.7 g/t Gold from 14m in GC001.

• 2m @ 22.58 g/t Gold from 8m in H007.

Only around 500m of the >4 km mineralised trend identified has received any historical drill testing to date and, given that this drilling has delivered significant intercepts represents a significant opportunity to Bellevue Gold.

Much of the trend is covered by thin, wind-blown sands rendering the surface geochemical exploration techniques utilised by prior explorers largely ineffective but recent rock chipping from shallow excavations and old shafts in the area have consistently yielded high grade results with rock chips of 40 g/t, 31.8 g/t and 31.9 g/t gold.

Figure 16: Government Well Summary map showing location shallow reconnaissance drilling.

North West Bellevue: Rock chipping on multiple, undrilled, Bellevue style veins 1.6 km along strike from the current Bellevue Resource drilling significantly extends strike potential of Bellevue.

Recent surface mapping has identified multiple new, partially outcropping, ‘Bellevue Style’ veins around 1.6 km along strike from recent drilling on the Tribune Lode. Results of 102 g/t, 4.3 g/t and 2.9 g/t gold have been returned from reconnaissance rock chip sampling. The veins are observed of 50cm thickness on surface with weathered textures reminiscent of the cataclasically remobilised sulphides observed in higher grade sections of the Bellevue Gold Deposit (see Figure 17 below).

These results constitute a 650m step out along strike from a high angle, west dipping, biotite altered structure striking NNW at 198m in DRDD095 and a 1.6km step-out from recent drill results from the northern end of the Tribune Lode currently being drilled along strike including:

• DRDD112: 6.5m @ 22.2g/t Au gold from 96m downhole (ASX 14/3/2019)1.

A trend of >100ppb maximum gold in wide spaced historical drilling has been identified over more than 2 km strike length, under thin transported soil cover, less than 1 km to the west of the high-grade Bellevue Gold Deposit (refer to Figure 17 above).

Follow up bottom-of-hole sampling has identified coincident multi-element anomalism highlighting a large-scale alteration system. Tribune style mineralisation (smokey quartz veins with remobilised pyrrhotite>>chalcopyrite within a biotite shear) has been identified in RAB and RC chips further highlighting the prospectivity of the target.

Historical results from wide spaced RAB and RC drilling within the target area include:

• 1m @ 4.58 g/t Gold from 21m in BX0666 (RAB)

• 1m @ 3.25 g/t Gold from 21m in BARC0281 (RC)

• 10m @ 0.4 g/t Gold from 23m to End of Hole in BX0186 (RAB)

Significantly Down-hole electromagnetics (DHEM) was not used as a follow up to the historical drilling. DHEM is a critical tool, vectoring drilling at the Bellevue Gold Deposit towards higher grade intercepts. This represents a significant opportunity for Bellevue Gold to re-appraise the target area using lessons learned at the Bellevue Gold deposit <1km to the East of the target.

In addition, a >1 km long gold-in-soil anomaly of more than 20ppb gold (with a max of 408ppb gold) has been identified sub-parallel to the trend of max, downhole gold in drilling. This near surface walk up drill target is largely undrilled.

Corporate

Cash

As at 31 March 2019, Bellevue Gold held $28.7 million (31 December 2018: $13.7 million) in cash. Refer to the Appendix 5B (ASX website) for principal movements in cash for the quarter.

Capital Raising

Bellevue completed a $20 million placement of approximately 37 million shares at an offer price of $0.55 per share (the “Placement”). The Placement was undertaken pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Placement received strong support from institutional and sophisticated investors based in Australia, as well as continued support from North American institutional investors, including a number of specialist global gold funds.

Funds raised via the Placement will be used for:

• Ongoing exploration at the Company’s flagship Bellevue Gold Project; and • General working capital purposes.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement. Sprott Capital Partners acted as Co-Manager to the placement.

Native Title

The Company received ministerial approval through Section 18 consent to undertake exploration drilling on an island within Lake Miranda in the October quarter of 2018. The current drilling is not affected by the Section 18 as all drilling undertaken to date is located on the mainland and away from the lake. The approval however will allow drill testing within the Western Corridor to the south.

The Company has been advised that the Native Title Party have submitted a Section 9 and 10 application of the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Heritage Protection Act 1984 (cth) over the area of Section 18 consent.

Wherever possible, words such as “intends”, “expects”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “anticipates”, “believes”, and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this release reflect management’s current beliefs based upon information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, The Company cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve significant known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results, events, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended, including those risk factors discussed in the Company’s public filings.
