Summary

Kyrgyz Republic Exploration - Aucu Gold Project (90% owned)

During the June quarter White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) ("White Cliff", "the Company") completed a new JORC gold resource estimate in conjunction with detailed metallurgical testing.

The updated inferred resource for the Aucu gold deposit reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) above a cut-off grade of 1 g/t gold is 1.8 million tonnes grading 5.2 g/t gold for 302,000 ounces of contained gold.

Importantly the new resource contains a very high grade zone (Quartz Zone) of 244,000 tonnes at 9.5 g/t gold containing 75,000 ounces of gold.

Metallurgical test work conducted on mineralised intervals from 2016 drilling indicated greater than 96% free milling gold for most samples, confirming previous test work on the rest of the deposit in which gold recoveries averaged 99% and gravity recoverable gold averaged 88%.

Western Australian Exploration - Projects (100% owned)

Re-evaluation of the Ghan Well nickel and cobalt project identified potential for economic cobalt mineralisation with multiple drill-hole intervals containing greater than 1500 ppm cobalt.

Air-core drilling at the East Burtville prospect, part of the Merolia Gold Project near Laverton, confirmed significant gold mineralisation and highlighted the prospect's potential to host a high-grade gold deposit amenable to open pit mining.

Corporate

During the quarter, the Company entered into two 12-month loan facilities totalling $500,000. Subject to final documentation being completed, the total available facility will increase to $600,000.
