Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased
to report that high-grade gold mineralisation has been intersected in the
first drilling program completed at the Trafalgar North vein zone which
is situated within the Company’s 100% owned Golden Ridge Project
located in Northeast Tasmania (Figure 1).

Flynn Gold Managing Director & CEO Neil Marston said:
“These are excellent early results from our on-going exploration at our flagship Golden
Ridge project in NE Tasmania.
“Drilling has successfully intersected high-grade gold veins beneath the recently
discovered trenching area at Trafalgar North and has confirmed our interpretation that
this zone is continuous at depth and potentially is a parallel zone to the Trafalgar
prospect mineralisation.
This new vein zone increases the mineralised footprint at Trafalgar from 300m to 500m
width across the granodiorite/sedimentary contact and reinforces our view that this
project has the potential to host large-scale gold mineralisation.”

Trafalgar Prospect – Phase 3 Drilling
Phase 3 drilling commenced at the Trafalgar prospect in mid-April 2024. The initially
planned 1,500m diamond drill program comprised infill and extension drilling targeting
down-dip and along-strike extensions to previously drilled high-grade gold intercepts.
During June 2024, a new zone of gold-mineralisation, approximately 250m north of
the historic Trafalgar mine was discovered in surface trenches 2. This new area at
Trafalgar North had the potential to significantly increase the mineralised footprint of
the Trafalgar prospect and therefore became the focus of drilling later in the campaign.

Two diamond holes for 623m (TFDD019 and TFDD020) have been completed, testing
beneath and along strike of mineralisation discovered in the trenches (see Figure 2).
TFDD019
This hole was primarily designed to test depth extensions of the gold-bearing quartz
vein zone at approximately 100 metres beneath surface. Multiple zones with visible
signs of mineralisation were successfully intersected in the target area (see Figure 3).
Significant intercepts for TFDD019 are reported in Table 1.
TFDD019 also tested the up-dip position of veins intersected in TFDD002 (4.3m @
4.3g/t Au from 594.7m) 3 with a high-grade vein (0.3m @ 25.1g/t Au) successfully
intersected at a depth of 440.5m. This vein is interpreted to be a continuation of the
veins intersected 80m below in TFDD002.

TFDD020
This step-out hole was designed to test along strike continuation of the mineralised
zone 50m to the west of TFDD019 (see Figure 2). Sulphide-rich quartz-arsenopyritepyrrhotite veining was intersected at 53.4m depth (0.35m @ 40.0g/t Au) and quartzarsenopyrite-galena veining was intersected at 115.4m depth (0.35m @ 26.6g/t Au)
(see Figure 3).
Significant intercepts for TFDD020 are reported in Table 1.
The results reported confirm strike continuity over 50 metres from TFDD019 with gold
mineralisation open in all directions.
TFDD018
Assay results for the outstanding samples (59.5-214m and 294m-322.7m EOH) of
TFDD018 have been received and significant results are shown in Table 1.
Channel Sampling
Follow-up channel sampling at Trafalgar North has been completed with the southern
section of the historic trench now fully sampled over a distance of 89 metres.
The best results from the channel sampling are shown in Table 3 including:
-
9m @ 0.6 g/t Au including 1m @ 2.1g/t Au, and
-
1m @ 4.2 g/t Au (see Figure 2).
Next Steps
From observations to date the width of the Trafalgar North vein zone is approximately
40 metres across strike and contains multiple sub-parallel gold bearing quartz veins.
Drilling confirms the mineralised footprint at Trafalgar, including Trafalgar North, now
extends over a zone at least 500m wide. Previous drilling at Trafalgar has intersected
mineralisation over a strike length of at least 400m and to depths of over 400m from
surface.
These latest drilling results are being interpreted and built into the Golden Ridge
geological model.
Further surface trenching and diamond drilling at Trafalgar North is being planned to
test for strike extensions, initially to the west of TFDD020.
Exploration elsewhere at Golden Ridge is ongoing with a follow-up program of soil
sampling of prospective areas identified earlier in the year (Grenadier and Big Penny)
nearing completion 4.

Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
The sampling described in this report refers to diamond (DD)
drilling and channel sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Sampling is guided by Flynn’s protocols and Quality Control
procedures, as per industry standards.
Samples were all collected by qualified geologists or under
geological supervision.
Core samples are judged to be representative of the rock being
drilled.
Channel samples were taken from in-situ outcrop.
The nature and quality of sampling is carried out under QAQC
procedures as per industry standards.
Diamond drilling
Diamond core is sampled to geological boundaries with sample
lengths generally between 0.3m and 2.0m.
The core is cut on site and half core sampled. The remaining half
core is stored on site.
Care is taken when sampling the diamond core to sample the same
half side of the core as standard practice.
During sampling of the diamond drill core, certified reference
material (CRM) standards are inserted at least every 20 samples.
Blank samples are also inserted at least every 20 samples.
Duplicate samples are routinely submitted and checked against
originals.
Channel samples
Channel samples were taken from the walls of the historic trench
at interval lengths between 0.5m and 1.0m. The channel line was
cut between 0.5m and 1.0m above the trench floor.
Certified reference material (CRM) standards were inserted at least
every 20 samples. Blanks samples are also inserted at least every
20 samples. Some field duplicates were collected to check
consistency of assaying methods.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
Diamond drilling
Drill core samples are sent to On Site Laboratory Services in
Bendigo. Samples are weighed, dried and crushed to -2mm, and
rotary split into a Chrysos jar (500g nominal). The residual sample
is retained.
Samples are assayed for gold via photo assay method PAAU2.
Photon assay is a non-destructive assay method.
PAAU2 has a detection range of 0.01 to 350 ppm Au.
Coarse gold was observed in some drill core intervals. Additional
sampling using various techniques and duplicate samples is
ongoing to allow an assessment of any sampling issues. Current
results appear to be consistent with historical drilling assay results
associated with coarse visible gold.
Channel samples
Channel samples were geologically logged for lithology,
mineralisation, veining and alteration.
Entire samples were prepared at the ALS laboratory in Burnie.
Samples were weighed (WEI-21), crushed (CRU-21), then
pulverized (PUL-21) to a nominal 85% passing 75 microns.
All samples were submitted for preparation at the ALS laboratory in
Burnie. Samples were analysed at Burnie for Au by AU-AA25 (30 g

charge fire assay) then sent to Townsville for multi-element assay
by 4 acid digest (MS-ME61).
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).
Drilling is undertaken by diamond core technique at triple tube
PQ3 (83.1mm diameter),HQ3 (61.1mm diameter), and NQ3
(42mm) core sizes.
Industry standard diamond drilling techniques are used.
HQ core is orientated using a Boart Longyear Truecore UPIX core
orientation system or similar.
Hole traces are surveyed using a digital down-hole survey camera
tool.
The location of each hole was recorded by handheld GPS with
positional accuracy of approximately +/-5m. Location data was
collected in MGA94 zone 55.
Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralisation at an optimum
angle.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Core recovery was logged and recorded in the company’s database.
Core loss has occurred in the weathering profiles and fault zones,
however overall recovery meets industry standards.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Triple tube diamond core drilling techniques are used.
The core recovery is logged for each run of drilling and measured
against the drilled length.
Generally, sample weights are comparable, and any bias is
considered negligible.
Logging
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
No relationship has been noticed between sample recovery and
grade.
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Diamond drilling
All diamond core holes are geologically logged in full for core
recovery, RQD, geotechnical parameters, weathering, oxidation,
lithology, grainsize, alteration, mineralisation, vein types and vein
intensity, structure, and magnetic susceptibility.
The geological logging was done using a standardised logging
system. This information and the sampling details were transferred
into Flynn Gold’s drilling database.
The geological and geotechnical logging is completed to a sufficient
level to support appropriate future geological, Mineral Resource
estimation, mining, and metallurgical studies.
Channel samples
Channel samples were logged for lithology, mineralisation, veining
and alteration.
Information from channel samples is recorded to a level of detail to
support future geological, Mineral Resource estimation, mining
studies and metallurgical studies.

Quality control procedures adopted for
all subsampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the insitu material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Flynn Gold has protocols that cover the sample preparation at the
laboratories and the collection and assessment of data to ensure
that accurate steps are used in producing representative samples.
The crusher and pulveriser are flushed with barren material at the
start of every batch.
Sampling is carried out in accordance with Flynn Gold’s
protocols as per industry best practice.
Field QC procedures involve the use of certified reference
material as assay standards and blanks, as well as coarse
crush duplicates.
For analysis of diamond core and channel samples, CRM standards
and blanks are inserted by the field Geologist at intervals
accounting for 7 to 10% of total samples which is considered to be
to industry standards.
CRM results over low-, moderate-, and high-grade gold ranges
indicate acceptable levels of accuracy and precision of assay batch
results.
Field duplicates were taken for channel samples. Laboratory split
duplicates were taken for channel samples and drill core samples.
Assay results were within the acceptable error margin of their
originals.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the style of
mineralisation sought.
Half-core sample intervals are between 0.2m and 1.0m.
