o 3.89% Cu, 0.20 g/t Au, 46.00 g/t Ag, 0.35% Mo(EL05) o 0.51% Cu, 0.17 g/t Au, 17.98 g/t Ag, 0.19% Mo(EL06)
Sunshine Gold's Managing Director, Damien Keys commented: "The Keans reconnaissance drilling program was successful in defining strong Cu-Au-Ag-Momineralisation throughout the prospect area. Rock chip sampling has further enhanced the prospectivity of the broader Keans area with three of the four rock chips containing abundant
Our first pass successes at Titov and Keans give us confidence to advance exploration along the 15km corridor of Cu- Au-Ag-Mo porphyry targets at Ravenswood West." For

ASX Announcement
22 December 2021
Four rock chip samples collected during reconnaissance mapping have returned significant assays (Table 2) giving confidence in expanding the exploration effort at Keans. The samples were collected over 500m from the nearest RC drilling and highlight the potential for a broader mineralised system. The samples collected are in the vicinity of an interpreted major regional fault zone, a parallel to the NNW striking Podosky Fault. The area warrants follow up mapping and drill testing in 2022.

ForKeans is a series of outcropping quartz-sulphide veins within a granodiorite that were initially worked for gold in the
1930s. The two shafts, Shaft A and Heuirs Shaft, were sunk to depths of ~20m and ~7m respectively. No production totals are available. However, Shaft A reported mined grades of 28 g/t Au near the top of the shaft decreasing to 3 g/t Au at the base. Heuirs Shaft reported 46 g/t Au mined grades at top of the workings decreasing to 15 g/t Au at
base (Company Report #465).
The first documented exploration at Keans in 1959, noted high amounts of molybdenite within the shaft spoils which led explorers to target porphyry-style mineralisation. Rock chip samples taken from the prospect were highly encouraging, including highest values of 25% Cu, 1.03% Mo, 8.7 g/t Au and 183 oz/t Agacross various samples
(Company Report #465).

Between 1959 and 1962, 8 diamond holes were drilled at Keans. Assay information is limited to select intersections
onlyRecent field mapping of Keans shows two dominant vein orientations. Mo and Cu (malachite and azurite) are c mmonly seen in both vein sets. A series of 1-4m thick, north-south oriented veins are mapped with moderate,
of Cu, Au, Ag and Mo. Both the drill core and the "drill sludge" were assayed. Assays from core record impressive Mo
results including 3.3m @ 1.02% Mo(Hole R1) and 13.8m @ 0.26% Mo(Hole R4). Gold showed a best intercept of 3m
@ 1.36 g/t Au(Hole R2) from sludge sampling. This result, whilst deemed unreliable, highlights the potential for gold
in the system. Elevated silver including 0.5m @ 61 g/t Ag(Hole R6) was also recorded. No further historic drilling has been recorded at Keans.
westerly dips and which are laterally continuous for up to 200m in areas. In 1962, 3 east-west oriented costeans were usecut to sample prominent north-south veins (Figure 3). A second set of east-west oriented veins has also been mapped throughout the prospect. The east-west veins are often narrower (50cm-2m thickness) but are typically sheeted and are believed to be the mineralisation host in Shaft A. Many of the significant rock chip assays reported have been
ampled from the east-west oriented veining.

The 4m wide, N-S striking, quartz vein contains abundant fine-grained molybdenite. This costean is located 30m south
of the collars of holes 21KNRC003 and 21KNRC004.
