useHighlights:
- Detailed drone magnetic survey covering 29.5 km² at the Rocky Dam gold project to assist with exploration targeting has commenced
- Extensive auger sampling for new target generation across broader tenement package also underway
- Project wide technical review of lithium potential will be undertaken, reviewing publicly available historical reports and WAROX data for possible lithium bearing pegmatites
personalLycaon Resources Ltd (ASX:LYN) (Lycaon or the Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of a high detail drone magnetic survey at the Rocky Dam gold project (Rocky
Dam Project) in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Company is also completing xtensive auger sampling for new target generation across the broader tenement package.
Mr Thomas Langley, Technical Director commented "It's great to have the magnetic survey underway at Rocky Dam following the opening of WA borders. The drone survey will provide a highly detailed magnetic dataset to assist in geological interpretation and exploration targeting going Forfo ward. Following the recent RC drill program being completed, I'm looking forward to reviewing
all of the assay results and building on our knowledge of the mineral system at Rocky Dam."
"The auger sampling program across the broader tenement package will be important in identifying new targets and I'm hopeful we will have multiple new targets to follow up with further auger sampling and drilling throughout 2022. Furthermore, the Company will begin a project wide technical review of lithium potential across the company's goldfields tenure, reviewing publicly available historical reports and WAROX data for possible lithium bearing pegmatites."

Gyro drilling is undertaking an auger program designed as a first pass geochemical survey to define anomalies that may be related to primary gold mineralisation at depth across tenements E27/611, E27/612 and E28/2988, Figure 1. It is a key step in exploration targeting, with subsequent further infill and extensional auger soil sampling to follow, if results warrant. The auger samples will be completed
on an east-west 100m grid and north-south 400m grid spacing, for a total of 1,288 samples. The personalCompany proposes to complete further auger sampling and aircore drilling shortly after this initial uger sampling concludes. Both the drone survey and auger sampling will assist in ongoing
geological review to identify, prioritise, and rank new targets for further exploration programs. For

Rocky Dam Project (Gold)
The Rocky Dam Project comprises nine (9) granted and one (1) pending Exploration Licences covering approximately 162.8km², a significant landholding in the highly prospective Norseman - Wiluna Greenstone Belt around the Yindarlgooda Dome within the Eastern Goldfields. The Project is centred 60km northeast of Kalgoorlie via sealed and well-maintained gravel roads. The Project is onlyclose to significant mining infrastructure and surrounds gold producer Northern Star Limited's recent Kurnalpi Project acquisition and active explorers Riversgold Limited (ASX:RGL) and Black Cat
Syndicate Limited (ASX:BC8).
usepersonalThe Rocky Dam Project lies within a favourable setting for orogenic gold and base metal-rich Volcanic Massive Sulphide-style (VMS) styles of mineralisation with multiple other prospects
identified throughout the tenure. The large-scale supergene gold mineralisation recorded in historical drilling demonstrates a fertile project area potentially active during major Yilgarn greenstone mineralisation events, which presents a great opportunity to potentially discover primary b drock mineralisation that may be the source of the supergene enrichment.
Exploration work to date at the Rocky Dam Project has identified gold mineralisation at the CRA- North Prospect. The prospect was first discovered in the 1990s as a 700m long gold anomaly along a sheared contact of felsic volcanics and black shales. Historical drilling has returned encouraging
Foresults delineating thick shallow zones of supergene gold mineralisation. The oxide mineralisation is associated with ferruginous quartz veining and sericite alteration, and remains open along strike with best results including:
- 40m @ 0.6 g/t Au [18m] in RDRC002 including 9m @ 1.7 g/t Au [40m]
- 21m @ 1.0 g/t Au [41m] in RDRC012 including 6m @ 2.8 g/t Au [52m]
- 4m @ 4.1 g/t Au [62m] in RDRC001 including 1m @ 13.8 g/t Au [67m]
- 15m @ 0.4 g/t Au [13m] in RDRC009 including 4m @ 1.3 g/t Au [17m]
- 20m @ 0.6 g/t Au [39m] in RDRC006 including 2m @ 3.0 g/t Au [39m]
- 2m @ 5.9 g/t Au [95m] in RDRC007
The significant low order gold mineralisation recorded in historical drilling suggests a mineralised system is present at CRA-North, warranting further drill testing. Initial exploration work programs will

consist of RC and diamond drilling planned to delineate the strike extent of the oxide mineralisation and to test for primary mineralisation at depth. Geochemical sampling, geophysics and aircore drilling will be completed at regional targets.
