    • 10.27m @ 6.09 g/t gold from 348.5m in BBDD0159 (est. true width = 5.2m)
  • The Company completed the divestment of its interest in the Manna Lithium prospect (refer: ASX Announcement 26 October, 2022) for a final payment of A$60M taking the total received from the sale to approximately $88M over the past 12 months. The Company still retains all gold rights over the Manna tenements and retains a 1.5% NSR over other metals including lithium in the tenure (excluding the original Manna JV area).
  • The Company commenced drilling at its Ularring Project in the central wheatbelt of WA with an initial 4 diamond holes, jointly funded under the government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). Assay results are pending.
  • Breaker closed the calendar year with approximately $78M in cash leaving the Company strongly funded. Importantly, the growth in cash has occurred without shareholder dilution.

Lake Roe Gold Project (100%)

The Lake Roe Gold Project (LRGP) is located approximately 100km east of Kalgoorlie. On 20 December 2021, Breaker released an updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate for the LRGP containing a total (all JORC categories) of 1.7 million ounces (32 million tonnes at 1.6g/t Au). The resource estimate was prepared and signed off by expert industry consultants, Snowden Optiro. There are three main deposits defined in the overall resource:

1. The Bombora Prospect: 25 million tonnes at 1.8g/t Au containing 1.5 million oz;
2.The Claypan Prospect: 2 million tonnes at 1.1g/t Au containing 69,000oz;
3.The Crescent Kopai Prospect: 4 million tonnes at 1.0g/t Au containing 132,000oz.

The majority of the open-pittable resource is classified in the Indicated resource category, whilst the majority of the primary mineralisation (minable from underground) is classified in the Inferred category due to drill density.

The gold resources at Lake Roe are already on a granted mining lease and have a clear development pathway. Environmental, geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical studies undertaken to date do not highlight any impediments to development (ASX Release 30 June 2019). Most of the Company’s pre-mining studies are at pre- feasibility level.
