Mineralisation Report
Underway and Application for a Mining Licence at the Northern Zone
Project
Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), an
international project developer, is pleased
to announce an important update from its Northern Zone Intrusive Hosted Gold Project in Western
Australia (the "Northern Zone Project" or the
"Project").
Overview:
o All
drilling at the Project uploaded into Leapfrog Geo, a geological 3D
modelling software, enabling the Company to generate a gold grade
model (refer to Figure 1).
o A
high impact drilling campaign has been designed in Leapfrog to
follow up the latest high-grade intercepts, and to optimally target
the expanding footprint of the mineralised porphyry.
o The
upcoming aircore (AC) drill campaign will comprise 28 drill holes
of approximately 1,960m and will look to target and extend previous
higher grade gold intercepts via a series of SW-NE orientated
extensional lines using a nominal 20m spacing (refer to Figure
3).
o The
mineralisation at the Project remains open in multiple directions,
leading to further drilling campaigns planned to test for the
potential extents of the mineralised porphyry.
o A
mineralisation report is set to be completed in the near term, and
an application to convert the tenement to a mining licence is set
to be made.
o Drilling continues to validate the geological model for the
previously announced Exploration Target at the Northern Zone Gold
Project of 200Mt - 250Mt at a grade of 0.4 g/t Au - 0.6 g/t Au for
2.5Moz - 4.8Moz of gold[1]
Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented:
"The Northern
Zone Project continues with the next stage of drilling targeting an
increasing porphyry footprint. We have now made the decision to
complete a mineralisation report so that an application can be made
to convert the tenement to a mining licence. The recent set of
high-grade gold assays at the Northern Zone Project have continued
to expand the gold mineralised footprint of the porphyry over a
much larger area than originally thought and it has confirmed the
presence of a significant gold mineralised system. Given its
location, 25km east of Kalgoorlie, it has the benefit of being
highly accessible with sufficient infrastructure. Gold prices have
now surpassed US$2,750/ounce, which ultimately bodes well for the
project, something the board was hopeful of when it embarked on
this project."

Competent Person's Statement
The Information in this report that
relates to exploration results, exploration targets, mineral
resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by Mr
Edward Mead, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Mead is a director of Riversgold Limited
and a consultant to the company through Doraleda Pty Ltd. Mr Mead
has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of
mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the
activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as
defined in the 2012 edition of the `Australian Code for Reporting
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' (the JORC
Code). Mr Mead consents to the inclusion of this information in the
form and context in which it appears in this report.
