Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased to report on its activities
for the quarter ending 31 December 2023.
Flynn Gold is an Australian mineral exploration company with a portfolio of 100% owned
exploration projects in Tasmania and Western Australia (see Figure 1).
The Company has nine tenements located in northeast Tasmania which are prospective for gold
and also tin-tungsten. In Northwest Tasmania, Flynn Gold has the Firetower gold and battery
metals project as well as the Henty zinc-lead-silver project.
In Western Australia, Flynn has established a portfolio of gold-lithium exploration assets in the
Pilbara and Yilgarn regions.

Golden Ridge Project – NE Tasmania
The Golden Ridge Project consists of multiple prospects and historical gold workings along an
eight-kilometre-long intrusive granodiorite-hornfels metasediment contact zone (see Figure 3).
The Company is actively exploring to identify and test multiple exploration targets, with the aim of
making further discoveries at this flagship project.
Previous exploration at the Golden Ridge Project focused on the Brilliant prospect in 2022 and
the Trafalgar prospect more recently, with diamond drilling programs completed at both locations.
In 2022, Flynn completed a regional scout reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at Golden
Ridge. The RC program was the first recorded drilling undertaken at the Link Zone, Blinding and
Kensington Prospects. Since then, a two-phase diamond drilling program was completed at the
Trafalgar prospect, returning significant high-grade results.
The Trafalgar prospect is the first location where the intrusive granodiorite-hornfels contact has
been drill tested by Flynn. The results of drilling at the Trafalgar prospect highlight the potential
of this interpreted Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) to host significant gold mineralisation.

Leaching Test Results
During the quarter Flynn completed a metallurgical testwork program with the aim of establishing
whether the gold at the Trafalgar Prospect is readily recoverable using conventional cyanide
leaching processes.
A total of 26 samples across a wide range of gold grades and mineralisation types (3 oxide and
23 fresh rock “sulphide zone”) were tested for gold recovery by cyanide using a bottle roll leach
(LeachWELLTM) test at Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd (ALS). The samples used in these
tests were taken from the crushed and pulverised (to a nominal 85% passing 75 microns) bulk
residues from the earlier laboratory testwork and weighed 1,000 grams (1 kilogram), i.e. 20 times
the sample size used in the 50-gram Fire Assay (FA50) method.
High-grade cyanide leaching utilising the LeachWELLTM accelerant was used to determine the
cyanide extractable gold and provides an indication of potential recoveries in metallurgical
processes and circuits. Recovery and analysis of the residues (tailings) by FA50 method then
allowed reporting of total gold values.
Table 2 lists the assay results from the LeachWELLTM bottle roll leach and the tailings Fire Assay
which, when added together provide a total gold grade. The gold grades received from the initial
diamond core analysis, undertaken using either the FA50 method or, in the case of samples
exceeding 100g/t Au, using a gravimetric method, are also included in Table 2 for comparison.
To calculate the percentage of cyanide leachable gold, the LeachWELLTM assay is divided by the
total gold grade. Table 2 shows gold recoveries ranged from 83% to 99%. Overall, the average
across the 26 samples is 94.5% gold recovery. From these initial results it appears that the gold
at the Trafalgar Prospect at Golden Ridge will be recoverable using conventional leaching
processes.
Table 2 also shows the variance between the initial FA50 samples reported by the Company and
the latest results. The variance in gold grade amongst the low-grade samples tested (i.e. <2g/t
Au) is generally evident and in cases much greater with up to 88.3% higher grades reported in
Table 2.
Additional lower grade gold samples from the Trafalgar prospect have been submitted for
metallurgical testwork using the LeachWELLTM method with results pending.

Warrentinna Project – NE Tasmania
The Warrentinna Project (EL30/2004) is located in northeast Tasmania, 40km northwest of
Flynn’s Golden Ridge Project (see Figure 2). The tenement was acquired from Greatland Gold
plc (LSE: GGP, “Greatland”) in June 2023 2.
The Project encompasses two historic goldfields, Forester and Warrentinna (see Figure 6). Highgrade gold deposits were mined at both fields in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Warrentinna
goldfield is defined by numerous historic workings and largely untested prospects over a strike
length of 6km. High-grade gold quartz lodes were previously mined, both at surface and
underground, at deposits such as the Golden Mara mine, which recorded production of 3,368oz
at an average of 1 oz/tonne 3.

During the quarter, two diamond holes (DNDD001 &DNDD002) were drilled at the Warrentinna
Prospect for a total of 357m (Figure 7) 4. The holes have confirmed the continuity of orogenic style
gold mineralisation identified in historical drilling by Greatland.
The holes were drilled in the opposite direction to previous RC and diamond drilling completed
by Greatland. As a result, these holes yielded critical stratigraphic and structural information which
will guide the interpretation of historic data and verify and amend the existing vein model.
This campaign confirmed gold mineralisation at Warrentinna occurs in multiple sub-parallel lode
style quartz veins. Veins strike north to north-northeast and are steeply dipping to the east and
west.

Figure 9 shows a cross section of DNDD001 with the main mineralised zones highlighted. The
mineralised zones conform to the vein model (red) used to plan the campaign.
The Company is reviewing the results of this maiden drill program at the Warrentinna Project.
This review will lead to refinement of the geological model and preparation of a preliminary
mineral resource model. This work will be used to identify the best locations for follow-up drilling.

Firetower Project – NW Tasmania
During the quarter the Company completed one diamond drill hole (FT-2023-001) and three
diamond extension tails on existing holes for a total of 496.0m at its Firetower Project in northwest
Tasmania 5 (see Figure 2).
Flynn’s review and targeting work, incorporating desktop studies, re-logging and re-sampling of
historical diamond drill core, confirmed coherent zones of high-grade polymetallic gold, cobalt,
tungsten and copper (Au-Co-W-Cu) mineralisation.
The polymetallic Au-Co-W-Cu mineralisation at Firetower is currently defined by historic drilling
over a strike length of 200m and remains open along a highly prospective 6km-long trend between
the Firetower West and Firetower East prospects (see Figure 10). The mineralisation, which partly
outcrops, is tested to depths of at least 100m and remains open down-dip.

The polymetallic Au-Co-W-Cu mineralisation at Firetower is associated with quartz and carbonate
vein stockworks and replacement zones hosted in silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite altered felsic
volcano-sedimentary rocks. Sulphide mineralogy includes pyrite-arsenopyrite-cobaltitechalcopyrite and minor sphalerite-galena. Cobalt appears to be present mostly in the form of
cobaltite (CoAsS). Tungsten mineralisation occurs predominantly as scheelite (CaWO4) with
minor wolframite (Fe-MnWO4) and is associated with carbonate veining.
Flynn’s review highlighted that many historic drill holes stopped short of testing interpreted depth
extensions to the main polymetallic mineralised zone. The location of the 4 new Flynn drill holes
is shown in Figure 11. Subsequent to the end of the quarter initial results from the drill program
were received and reported 6.

Henty Zinc Project – NW Tasmania
In December 2023, the Company received a drilling permit from Mineral Resources Tasmania
(MRT) for the advanced Mariposa Zinc/Lead/Silver prospect, which lies within the Henty Project
in the prolifically mineralised province of northwest Tasmania (see Figure 15).
The Henty Zinc-Lead-Silver Project comprises a district-scale stratiform carbonate-hosted base
metal system hosting 5 mineralised stratigraphic horizons identified over +50 km of combined
strike length. Mineralisation is identified from surface to known depths of +500m (open) 7.

Exploration – Western Australia
Flynn Gold has 5 gold-lithium projects in Western Australia (see Figure 1), strategically located
in districts that host large gold and lithium deposits or that the Company considers relatively
under-explored for lithium.
Mt Dove Project
The Mt Dove project is located approximately 25km NNW of the Wodgina Lithium Mine, 34km
WNW of the Pilgangoora Lithium Mine, 45km SW of the Tabba Tabba lithium deposit and 12km
SE of the Hemi gold deposit in the Pilbara region of WA (see Figure 16).
Figure 16 - Mt Dove Project Location Plan
During the quarter, Flynn announced results from its 2023 in-fill soil sampling program at Mt Dove.
The program was designed to evaluate multiple lithium and gold anomalies outlined from the
Company’s 2022 Ultra-fine fraction (UFF) soil sampling program 8.
The 2023 survey results have outlined seven high priority coherent lithium anomalies with
associated pathfinder geochemistry, and eleven lower priority, less coherent lithium anomalies
(Figure 17). The seven high priority anomalies reveal broad areas of lithium soil anomalism
extending between 600m and 3,100m in length and between 200m and 1,000m in width.

Figure 17 - Mt Dove Project Combined soil results (<2mm-2023 and UFF-2022) and rock chip lithium results (ppm)
over magnetic image transparent over geology, with contours outlining lithium anomalies
The soil anomalies have been defined by clusters of samples which are greater than 75ppm Li
(+160ppm Li2O) for the original UFF samples and greater than 21ppm Li (+45ppm Li2O) for the
2023 -2mm soil samples. These are considered significant anomalies particularly when taking
into account the supporting associated pathfinder anomalism and trends.
The original UFF soil survey focused on gold (Hemi style) exploration and utilised the ultra-fine
fraction sample preparation and assay method. The 2023 in-fill soil sampling was primarily
focused on lithium exploration and involved assaying the pulverised -2mm soil sample for lithium
and pathfinder elements with sodium peroxide fusion to enable complete digestion and recovery
of lithium and associated trace elements.
The seven high priority, coherent lithium anomalies are located in the eastern portion of E45/5055,
adjacent to Flynn’s exploration licence application E45/5093 (Figure 17). This region corelates
with some strong zonation trends, originally outlined in the 2022 UFF soil sampling program 9. The
in-fill soil sampling has confirmed and enhanced these trends which show a general zonation
from the southwest to the northeast with increasing caesium, rubidium, beryllium, niobium and tin
towards the east-northeast margin of the survey.
The exploration licence is predominantly covered by a shallow transported cover sequence
comprising aeolian sand with very few small windows of outcropping bedrock or quartz veining
exposed within the project area. The -2mm soil fraction was not as effective in providing further
detail on the UFF gold anomalies due to the dilutive component of windblown sand.

In total, 11 rock chip samples have been collected from outcrop or subcrop within the tenement.
These samples, taken from isolated outcrop windows, have returned anomalous lithium (up to
228ppm Li2O) and associated pathfinder elements (including up to 0.14% Rb) (see Figure 17).
Forrestania / Lake Johnston Projects
The Forrestania and Lake Johnston projects are located in the highly prospective Southern Cross
Province in Western Australia which hosts the Mt Holland Lithium Mine, the Mt Day pegmatite
field and multiple active exploration targets including the Gemcutter, Giant and Medcalf
pegmatites (see Figure 18).
During the quarter, Flynn commenced on-ground exploration activities at the Lake Johnston
Project, which is 7km southeast from the recent lithium pegmatite discovery at the Burmeister
Project 10 held by TG Metals Limited (ASX:TG6).
Figure 18 - Lake Johnston and Forrestania Projects Location Plan.
Flynn’s exploration licences at Lake Johnston were granted in July 2023.
During the quarter, the Company deployed a geological team to the Lake Johnston Project to
undertake a geological mapping and orientation soil sampling program, prior to commencing a
more extensive soil sampling program aimed at identifying targets for drill testing.

Three new pegmatite intrusions were identified in outcrop and rock chip sampled. Two pegmatites
were found proximal to the existing known pegmatites within the centre of the sampling area. One
new pegmatite (Sample LJR005) was found close to the western tenement boundary.
The locations of these additional pegmatites are shown in Figure 19
In total, 281 soil and 3 rock chip samples were collected and have been submitted for laboratory
analysis for lithium and pathfinder elements, with assays pending.
