CHAIRPERSON’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd.’s (KalGold) Annual Report for the year ending 30 June
2023.
Although it has been a challenging year for junior explorers, KalGold made notable progress, including
celebrating two key milestones: the definition of the first ever JORC (2012) Mineral Resource at La Mascotte
(Bulong Taurus), and significant expansion of the Company’s footprint at its highly prospective Pinjin Project.
At Bulong Taurus, we were delighted to announce our first JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource in
March 2023 with the La Mascotte gold deposit initially estimated at 138,000 oz of gold. As gold mineralisation
is open at depth, there is plenty of scope for KalGold to expand on this with further exploration.
Meticulous digitisation and remodelling of historic data at La Mascotte saved the Company an estimated $1.6
million on re-drilling and re-assay costs as well as considerable time culminating in an incredibly low resource
definition cost of A$4.60/oz.
This innovative approach encompassing field and desktop assessment is a hallmark of KalGold, and we will
continue this moving forward.
The KalGold Team is to be commended for its diligence in building the Company’s resource base and pursuing
new opportunities and discoveries over the last twelve months.
Another major milestone achieved during the financial year was the successful negotiation of a farm-in
arrangement to acquire key tenements between the southern end of the Pinjin goldfield (near the Anglo Saxon
gold mine) and Ramelius Resources’ Rebecca gold project about 20 km south.
The deal, penned in May 2023, expands KalGold’s footprint in this highly prospective region which boasts some
of Western Australia’s most impressive gold discoveries.
KalGold’s new farm-in tenements are strategically located adjacent to existing tenure to provide the Company
with a continuous strike length of over 20km between Pinjin and Rebecca.
Having raised over $2 million from a share placement and Share Placement Plan at the end of the financial
year, the KalGold Team is keen to leverage this opportunity.
This injection of capital will enable the Company to continue its strategic exploration activity to build value for
shareholders through identifying and exploring high-value targets to uncover economic quantities of gold.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognise Matt Painter’s efforts in leading the Team to deliver the
Company's strategy as well as my fellow Board members, Andrew Penkethman and Carmel McKenzie, for their
wise counsel and support.
Lastly, I would like to thank shareholders for their support in difficult market conditions. The next twelve months
is extremely promising as our dedicated Team focuses on the excellent discovery potential it has identified over
the last 12 months.
I hope you will continue to support the Company on this exciting journey, and I look forward to sharing KalGold’s
progress and successes with you over the coming year.
Yours sincerely,
Pauline Gately
Non-Executive Chair
Dated this 29th day of September 2023

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd (ASX:KAL) (‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’) continued to make significant strides
towards discovery and definition of gold mineralisation in the prolific Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia
(WA) during 2023.
Assessing its tenement portfolio over projects that, in many cases, have not been explored for gold in several
decades.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Bulong Taurus Gold Project
At Bulong Taurus, KalGold focussed on defining gold resources and mineralisation distributions at the extensive
outcropping gold mineralised system t, only 35km east of Kalgoorlie. The first JORC Code (2012) Mineral
Resource Estimate from the Taurus Goldfield was defined in March 2023 with the La Mascotte gold deposit
initially estimated at:
3.61 Mt @ 1.19 g/t Au for 138,000 oz at a 0.6 g/t cut-off (Inferred).
Modelling confirms that the deposit is also amenable to higher cutoffs to define a higher grade, lower tonnage
deposit.
Gold mineralisation, including a high-grade shoot, is open at depth. The satellite discoveries require further
work. For this reason, this initial resource estimate is likely to be updated as new data is collected and
exploration continues.
Figure 3 – Location diagram for La Mascotte within the Bulong Taurus project. New discoveries at Knockhill and Royal
Star are located within the Taurus Goldfield within 1.8km of La Mascotte. . Projection GDA94 MGA Zone 51.
KalGold’s dominant position in the Taurus Goldfield
Measuring over 16km north-south by up to 9km east-west, KalGold’s Bulong Taurus gold project comprises
nine granted mining tenements surrounded by 26 prospecting licences (35 tenements in total). In addition, the
Company holds 3 prospecting tenements and an exploration licence at West Bulong, 4km further west towards
Kalgoorlie.
The Taurus Goldfield was discovered in the 1890s Gold Rush and has been almost continuously worked by
prospectors since. However, KalGold is the first company in generations to assemble a fulsomel tenement
package over the mining centre to wholly assess this highly mineralised area for significant gold deposits.
To consolidate its position and identify future opportunities, the Company has applied for a new mining licence
at Bulong Taurus. The La Mascotte deposit is located on an active mining licence (M25/19), and the new
application (M25/377) complements and abuts this tenement. KalGold envisages a future mining operation at
Bulong Taurus that simultaneously extracts gold ore from an open pit at La Mascotte and from a series of
satellite prospects surrounding it. Grant of the new Mining Lease will allow the Company to continue to fully
assess all satellite prospects, define additional Mineral Resources and undertake all required mining studies.

La Mascotte JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate
Definition of the first Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at La Mascotte dominated the Company’s work
programs during the first half of the year. Exploration programs provided data that augmented historic results
for one of the most cost effective JORC Code (2012) MRE’s defined by a publicly listed company in recent
times.
Figure 6 – Oblique view of the La Mascotte block model, looking downwards towards the southwest. Note high grade
gold mineralisation near surface and open at depth down-plunge. Projection GDA94 MGA Zone 51.
An extensive, stacked, quartz vein system up to 175m thick which outcrops at several locations, La Mascotte is
now host to an initial Inferred JORC (2012) MRE estimated at:
3.61 Mt @ 1.19 g/t Au for 138,000 oz at a 0.6 g/t cut-off (Inferred).
This includes a higher-grade component of 1.35 Mt @ 1.92 g/t Au for 83,000 oz at a 1.0 g/t cut-off. The MRE
is open at depth, with identified targets providing potential for resource growth. The resource is amenable to
7
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
higher cut-offs, offering significant ounces at higher grades. For example, a 1.5 g/t cut-off defines over 55,000 oz
at 2.7 g/t Au.
Very low cost MRE
KalGold has been particularly diligent in sourcing historic drill records, including assays, lithology, downhole
surveys, and laboratory certificates amongst many other data items. Digitisation and remodelling of validated
data collated with KalGold’s drill results provided a robust basis for definition of this JORC Code (2012) MRE.
As well as saving time, this approach saved the Company approximately $1.6 million in re-drilling and re-assay
costs over the immediate La Mascotte area. This is reflected in a very low resource conversion cost of only
~A$4.60/oz, based on direct drilling and assay expenses.
Additional targets defined for La Mascotte expansion
Drill results and 3-dimensional modelling also enabled the delineation of new targets at La Mascotte that are
yet to be tested (Figure 7), notably:
•
•
•
Primary Plunge Target (pink) which extends to the northwest.
Secondary Plunge Target (orange) south of the deep high-grade zone which defines a distinct trend
within the deeper high-grade zone. High grade intercepts are open to the south, extending into an
undrilled area
Depth Repeat Target (green) located directly below the shallow and deep high-grade zones
assuming cyclical repetition of gold mineralisation continuing to depth.
Each of these targets are being assessed for future drilling as extensions to the La Mascotte deposit .
Figure 7 – Long section of extensive gold mineralisation at La Mascotte (looking eastward towards 070°), showing gold
intercepts that define a north-westerly plunge. Refined targets are shown (see text for details). Note that the section plane
is very thick, and the Primary Plunge Target (pink) is to the west or towards the viewer in this diagram. The Secondary
Plunge Target is located immediately south of the deeper high-grade zone, and the Depth Repeat Target is located directly
underneath the main deep high-grade zones.
Drilling at La Mascotte during the year
During the year, four RC holes for 880m were drilled at La Mascotte as part of the Company’s Phase 4 drill
program (ASX release, 18 October 2022). The program was designed to expand upon previous programs and
8
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
test the extent of gold mineralisation down-plunge. Results like 3m at 6.43g/t Au from 61m (including 1m at
17.9g/t Au from 62m) in BLRC220092 and some lower-grade zones in BLRC220088 including 1m at 1.62g/t
Au from 83m, 1m at 1.58g/t Au from 156m, 3m at 0.93g/t Au from 163m, and 3m at 0.68g/t Au from 205m all
suggest that the drilling clipped the southern part of the mineralised plunge, and require follow-up (ASX release
20 January 2023). Data from these drill holes and KalGold’s previous programs were combined with historic
datasets to enable the Inferred JORC Code (2012) MRE at La Mascotte.
.
With gold mineralisation open to the northwest, down-plunge extensions remain open for future testing.
Assessment of satellite prospects to the La Mascotte deposit
La Mascotte is surrounded by satellite gold mineralisation at a number of known prospects comprising Gold
Rush era mine workings and new KalGold discoveries. KalGold is investigating the area as a single gold system.
FY23, drilling followed up on FY22’s discoveries. RC drilling at Knockhill (5 RC holes for 552m) and Royal Star
(3 RC holes for 336m) was completed in October 2022.
At Knockhill, an intersection of 6m at 1.24 g/t Au from 76–82m was intercepted within an ultramafic schist,
showing gold mineralisation open down dip. At Royal Star, gold mineralisation continues at subeconomic
grades with an additional low grade hanging wall lode returning 3m @ 0.91 g/t Au from 26–29m (BLRC220086).
KalGold will continue to investigate identified prospects covered by its new M25/337 mining licence application.
Pinjin Gold Project
KalGold’s strategic focus on the Pinjin region was boosted during H2 FY23 with the successful farm-in and
acquisition of key tenements between the southern end of the Pinjin Goldfield marked by the Anglo Saxon gold
mine and Ramelius Resources’ Rebecca gold project ~21km further south. The project lies in the southern part
of the 30Moz Laverton Tectonic Zone, the major gold-mineralising structure that is host to some of Western
Australia’s largest gold deposits. These, include Sunrise Dam, Wallaby, Granny Smith, and, in the south,
Ramelius Resources’ developing Rebecca Gold project (Figure 2).
The new tenements cover Kirgella Gift, Providence, T12, T15, and other prospects, as well as extensions to
several historic prospects at Wessex and Harbour Lights. Importantly, the new tenements abut KalGold’s
exploration licence applications south of the Pinjin Goldfield, providing a continuous strike length of over 20km
between Pinjin and Rebecca (Figure 8).
Tenement position
KalGold’s Pinjin Project is strategically located in one of the most prospective regions for gold in Australia. within
the southern part of the prolific, 30 Moz Laverton Tectonic Zone, one of the great gold mineralising structures
of the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Kirgella Gift and Providence targets
The Kirgella Gift and Providence targets are located around 13 km south of the Anglo Saxon gold mine. Here,
thick, high-grade, shear-hosted gold mineralisation has been discovered at shallow levels along 250 metres of
strike and remains open in all directions. Significant drill results are presented below in Table 2.
Previous exploration at Kirgella Gift, included 36 RC holes for 5,101 m and 1 DD hole for 315.5 m. Kirgella Gift
sits within a geological package of strongly sheared magnetic and sulphidic rocks that extend for a length of at
least 5 km. An associated pronounced geochemical anomaly extends over 5 km by 1 km. Gold mineralisation
coincides with distinct breaks and demagnetised zones along a well-defined series of magnetic ridges evident
in regional geophysical datasets.
In May 2023, KalGold entered into a binding option agreement to acquire a 75% interest in tenure at Kirgella
and Pinjin South, at the southern end of the Pinjin Goldfield (ASX release, 23 May 2023). In addition, the
Company acquired a 100% interest in tenure at Rebecca West (E28/3135-36).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Providence target is located only 300-500m south of Kirgella Gift and likewise corresponds with
demagnetisation on a break in a magnetic ridge. The prospect’s discovery was one of the last actions taken by
the previous explorer and was never systematically followed up. Prior RC drilling is limited to only two holes for
290m. Within these, a significant intercept was defined:

Providence
KGRC020
10m at 2.11g/t Au from 71m
including
3m at 3.41g/t Au from 78m
From the little information available, KalGold believes that the geology at Providence is consistent with Kirgella
Gift. KalGold’s modelling suggests continuity between the prospects, which will be tested by drill programs as
the project evolves.
Figure10 – Historic gold intercepts from Kirgella Gift and Providence prospects. Faded symbols represent aircore drilling
which, with a few exceptions, have generally not been drilled deep enough to be considered effective. KalGold’s current
and future drilling will aim to follow up on some of the gold anomalies defined by this drilling, and to calibrate and minimise
the inherent uncertainty within some aircore assay datasets.
