________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased to
announce the recommencement of drilling activities at the Company’s
100%-owned Golden Ridge Project located in North-east Tasmania.
This new drilling program will test beneath the historical Golden Ridge
Adit, where recent underground sampling of veins recorded results of up
to 64.4g/t gold 1. The adit is located in the Link Zone prospect area,
situated between the Brilliant and Trafalgar prospects at Golden Ridge.

Flynn Gold Managing Director and CEO, Neil Marston commented:

“We are delighted to have commenced our latest drilling program at the
Golden Ridge Project in north-east Tasmania.

“This drilling program, which is co-funded under the State Government’s
Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative, will see Flynn Gold drilling at the Link
Zone beneath the historic Golden Ridge adit, where sampling of
mineralised veins earlier this year yielded grades of up to 64 g/t gold.
“This diamond drill program is the first to test this adit, which lies between
the historic Brilliant and Trafalgar mines – where we have successfully
focused our drilling to date.”

Golden Ridge – Project Background
The Company’s flagship Golden Ridge Project is situated within EL17/2018 in North-east
Tasmania (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Location of Flynn Gold tenements in NE Tasmania.
Exploration by the Company at Golden Ridge has identified extensive intrusive-related type
gold mineralisation (IRGS) extending over a 9km-long zone along the southern contact margin
of the Golden Ridge Granodiorite and enclosing meta-sediments (see Figure 2).
The Company’s ongoing work at Golden Ridge is continuing to identify and test multiple
exploration targets, confirming the potential for a large-scale gold discovery.

Golden Ridge Adit, Link Zone Prospect
The historic Golden Ridge Adit was excavated in the 1890’s and was recently re-discovered by the
Company using high-resolution LiDAR imagery (Figure 3). The adit was excavated in a northnorthwest direction into the ridge from its southern flank for 150m length. Approximately 100m into
the adit, an ore drive has been developed to the north-east for 24m. Multiple quartz-sulphide veins
were intercepted in the adit and were sampled and mapped by Flynn, returning grades of up to
64.4g/t Au 2. Despite the high grades, previous miners only attempted to mine along one of the
veins for 24m, no stopes were taken and operations ceased, reportedly due to a lack of funds 3.
Flynn’s mapping of the adit has defined a 20-30m wide structurally-controlled zone comprising
multiple sub-parallel, steeply-dipping quartz-sulphide veins between 90 and 400mm wide
striking north-northeast. Veins contain arsenopyrite, pyrite with minor chalcopyrite and galena.

Mapping of the adit walls indicates that the vein system is hosted in open-folded, thin to
moderately bedded, silicified and hornfelsed sediments that steepen to sub-vertical, tightlyfolded beds as the mineralised zone is approached.
Sampling by Flynn recorded high gold grades at the start of the ore drive, including 37.6g/t Au
and 15.95g/t Au, with grades gradually decreasing along strike to the north-east to the
termination of the drive (Figure 3).
Field mapping at the top of the ridge ~50m above the adit identified a series of historic trenches
that trend in line with the veins mapped in the adit. Structural measurements taken from a
quartz-sulphide vein in one of the trenches projects the surface vein directly down-dip to the
vein in the adit ore drive. Trench grab sample assays returned grades of up to 7.97g/t Au,
delineating high-grade gold over a 50m vertical interval from surface and open to depth.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drill-hole LZRC001, which was drilled 120m along strike from the
mineralised trenches in 2022, intersected multiple intervals of up to 4.91g/t Au within an
interpreted mineralised zone of approximately 20m horizontal width 4. It is currently interpreted
that the gold intercepts in LZRC001 represent possible mineralised vein sets parallel to the
Golden Ridge adit veins. The high-grade quartz-sulphide vein in the trench and ore drive
projects to the north of the area tested by LZRC001 (see Figure 3).
In summary, the mapping, rock sampling and previous RC drill results indicate that high-grade
mineralisation is structurally continuous at the Link Zone prospect over a strike length of at
least 120 metres and depth of 50 metres and is open in all directions.
Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling at the Golden Ridge Adit has commenced with the planned 400 metre
program consisting of two diamond drill holes (1x 250m and 1x 150m) to be drilled from the
north flank of the ridge. The holes are each planned to traverse the mineralised zone
approximately 80m along strike to the north-east and south-west of the Golden Ridge adit (see
Figure 3) and to a depth of up to 50m below the mapped adit veins (see Figure 4).

The proposed drilling will allow the Company to extrapolate observations made from mapping
and sampling the mineralised zone in the historic Golden Ridge adit and understand how the
quartz-sulphide veins and their structural environment change along strike.
EDGI Program
This drilling program is one of two successful applications the Company made in Round 10 of
the Tasmanian State Government’s Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI), with the
Company able to obtain grant funding of up to $70,000 in each program to cover half of the
direct drilling costs 5.
EDGI is a Tasmanian State Government initiative to co-fund exploration drilling projects. The
aim of the program is to provide a stimulus to greenfield exploration in Tasmania. The
Tasmanian State Government is funding this initiative and the program is administered by
Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT).
Approved by the Board of Flynn Gold Limited.
