QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
During the quarter, Oakajee Corporation Ltd ("Oakajee" or "the Company") continued early stage exploration and preparation work across its Paynes Find Gold Project in Western Australia and its Birrindudu Nickel Project in the Northern Territory.
Figure 1 - Project location
Paynes Find Gold Project - Western Australia
The Paynes Find Gold Project is located adjacent to the Paynes Find settlement, approximately 455km by road northeast of Perth. The land holding represents the second largest exploration project area within the Paynes Find Greenstone Belt which has produced more than 72,000oz of gold.
The Paynes Find Gold Project covers mostly greenstone sequences along strike and to the west of the Paynes Find Gold camp. Whilst the Paynes Find Gold Project has been explored since the 1970's, little effective testing of the greenstone sequences has been undertaken due to fragmented tenement holdings and alluvial cover limiting the effectiveness of conventional soil sampling.

During the September quarter, the Company completed a soil sampling program and two auger sampling programs.
Figure 3 - Paynes Find Gold Project -Soil and auger sampling locations over magnetics.
The soil sampling program covered an area of historic gold anomalies and extensions 4km northeast of Paynes Find (Figures 3 and 4). A total of 200 x -1.6mm soil samples were collected on a 200m x 50m and 100m x 100m grid. This work defined 7 gold anomalies over 2km strike and 1 base metal anomaly (Table 1 and Figure 3). The gold anomalies are spatially associated with copper anomalies. At the northern end of the sampling area anomaly 7 is defined by Cu-Pb-Zn over 400m x 200m open to the north.
Historic rock chip samples from a small prosecting pit on a gossanous quartz vein near the southern end of the base metal anomaly were reported with assays of up to 0.6g/t Au, 440g/t Ag 1.2% Cu, 9.6% Pb, 0.36% Zn. Three shallow drill holes were reported to have been drilled to test the rock chip results though no location co-ordinates or assays were provided. A Reverse Circulation hole drilled in 2017 tested presumably the same gossanous vein returned 6m @ 18.4g/t Ag, 0.43% Pb and 0.19% Zn and 2m @ 0.4% Cu, 0.24g/t Au. The collar position of this hole is shown in figure 4. No follow up drilling was reported.

Two orientation auger geochemistry sampling programs were completed in the September quarter to test three historic airborne electromagnetic (AEM) conductors defined in the early 1980's while searching for volcanic massive sulphide deposits similar to the Golden Grove Cu-Zn mine 90km to the NW (Figures 3,5 and 6). Follow up ground surveys were recommended though there is no report of the work being completed. No digital data is available for the AEM survey and the location of the conductors can only be considered approximate.
The two AEM conductors are 7km apart associated with a NE trending magnetic high that is thought to indicate a banded iron formation. There is no outcrop and the cover is aeolian sand. The area of the conductors was tested by an Auger program comprising 171 samples completed on 200m and 300m spaced lines to a nominal 1.5m depth.
The northern auger program (Anomalies 12-15 in Table 1 and Figure 5) returned several low level multielement geochemical anomalies comprising Au-As-Bi-Cu-Pb spatially associated with the magnetic high and the approximate location of the historic AEM conductors.
The southern auger program (Anomalies 9-11 in Table 1 and Figure 6) also returned several multielement anomalies comprising As-Bi-Cu-Pb-Zn over the 1km strike tested. The anomalies are associated with the magnetic high and are close to the approximate position of the historic AEM conductors. The geochem anomalies are open along strike to the north and south.
