The Board of Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) ('Lefroy' or 'the Company') is pleased to provide its report on activities and progress made during the December 2019 Quarter.

Lefroy is a gold focused exploration company taking a systematic conceptual exploration approach at its flagship Lefroy Gold Project (Lefroy Project or LGP) located approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia.

The Lefroy Gold Project is wholly owned by the Company. The commanding, semicontiguous, granted land package now covers 621km2 immediately east of and adjoining the world class St Ives Gold camp, operated by Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI) ('Gold Fields'), and is immediately south of the high-grade Mt Monger gold centre operated by Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR). Four gold processing operations are strategically located within 50km of the project and provide commercial options for processing any gold discovered.

The LGP is referenced in two packages i.e.

Eastern Lefroy covering 249km2 of wholly owned tenements including Lucky Strike, Red Dale, Hang Glider Hill, Havelock, and other sub-projects along the regional scale Mt Monger fault, and

Western Lefroy JV tenements covering 372km2 adjoining the Gold Fields tenements that make up the St Ives mining operation. These tenements are included in the Joint Venture agreement with Gold Fields. Gold Fields can earn up to a 70% interest in the LEX tenements by spending up to a total of $25million on exploration activities within 6 years of the commencement date, 7June 2018.

This involved completion of an infill reverse circulation (RC) program at the Company's priority Lucky Strike prospect. An aircore drilling program was also completed at a new target known as Mulga 3 located approximately 3km to the north east of Lucky Strike.

In addition, an initial three-hole investigative diamond drill program was completed at the Hang Glider Hill (HGH) prospect, located approximately 17km to the north west of Lucky Strike At Western Lefroy, Gold Fields completed a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program in Lake Lefroy.
