Location of Kula’s Southern Cross Gold Projects.
> Airfield Gold Project
Marvel Loch, Southern Cross, Western Australia.
The Marvel Loch-Airfield Gold project covers an area of 120km² over the south-central part of the Ghooli Dome, 5km east of the town of Marvel Loch, a major gold mining centre. This region has seen over 15Moz of historical gold production and the Marvel Loch mine and mill continue production under the ownership of Minjar Gold. Historic exploration was carried out by Sons of Gwalia Ltd (“SOG”) in the late 1980’s, and closing reports recommended follow-up drilling of these targets.
Auger Drilling Program Results (December 2020)
An auger drilling program was carried out in December which was designed to test previously reported SOG generated gold in soil anomalies, as well as Kula generated targets from reprocessed and reinterpreted magnetics. The Crayfish prospect was tested with a total of 267 auger holes for 1050m in December 2020 and the claypan area to the east was tested with 14 auger holes. The average depth of the holes was 3.8m and a bottom of hole residual sample (Laterite or Saprolite) was routinely collected from each hole and sent to Bureau Veritas for gold analysis by Bottle Roll and ICP-MS and 14 samples were assayed by Fire Assay and ICP-OES for Au and Multi-elements.
Results of the program show a coherent 700m long, +8ppb Au anomaly as shown in the figure below. Laboratory turnaround times are approximately 4-5 weeks at present.

> The company will commence a RC drilling program to test for the source of the gold at the Crayfish prospect. Rig quotes and regulatory approvals are in progress.
Additionally, further auger programs are planned to test the eastern part of the licence and the southern part of the licence once the appropriate regulatory approvals have been obtained.
