Horizon Minerals Limited: Drilling at Binduli Continues to Deliver Excellent Results

Perth, Australia - Horizon Minerals Ltd. (ASX:HRZ) ("Horizon" or the "Company") (formerly Intermin Resources Limited) is pleased to announce further excellent reverse circulation ("RC") drilling results from the 100% owned Binduli gold project area located 9km west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the heart of the Western Australian goldfields (Figure 1).

Commenting on the latest drilling results, Horizon Minerals Managing Director Mr Jon Price said:

"The results continue to demonstrate that Binduli is a genuine contributor to our mine development and production pipeline as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study currently underway. The drilling has improved geological confidence and demonstrated excellent width and grade continuity over a 450m strike length and remains open in all directions. Further RC and diamond drilling is planned across the Binduli project area, located only 25km from our baseload Boorara gold project."

In 2018, the Company commenced drilling at the historic Crake prospect where previous work had located encouraging gold mineralisation within a porphyry host rock. The drilling totalled 85 RC holes for 8,096m, and produced an initial Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.12Mt @ 1.59g/t Au for 57,700oz at a 1g/t lower grade cut-off 1. An independent first pass mine optimisation of the resource showed positive results and highlighted areas where further drilling could improve geological confidence and extend the mineralisation.

In May the Company commenced a second stage follow up RC program to infill and test for shallower levels of gold mineralisation. A total of 42 holes for 3,102m were completed at Crake.

Project Geology

The geology at Crake is similar to the 390,000oz Janet Ivy open pit, located approximately 1,500m to the south, where the gold is hosted in a structurally controlled feldspar porphyry. At the nearby Fort William and Fort Scott open pits, where over 100,000oz have been produced to date, gold is hosted within sheared units of volcanics and clastic sediments.

At Crake, the gold mineralisation strikes NW and dips shallowly to the SW. A poorly developed southern plunge is tentatively interpreted. The gold lodes are often tabular shaped and 20m thick but can blow out to >60m width. High grade shoots appear to result from intersecting structures. The Crake drilling focussed on a mineralised, variably altered pink porphyry with minor amounts of pyrite and magnetite. Higher grades usually coincide with stronger pyrite mineralisation (up to 3% by volume).

Summary of Results

The recent Crake results (Figure 2) have good alignment with the current mineralisation model and gives greater confidence in the block model and grade. Most holes intersected +1g/t Au and finished within a barren volcanic footwall schist. Several eastern holes intersected shallower, up dip, mineralisation largely outside the resource area and warrants follow up drilling to help close it off. Examples of this include:

o 3m @ 3.77g/t Au from 37m (BRC19022)

o 12m @ 1.65g/t Au from 32m (BRC19010)

o 2m @ 3.62g/t Au from 35m (BRC19002)

On the western side, several deeper holes returned encouraging levels of well-developed and consistent mineralisation that highlight the deeper resource potential. Examples of this include:

o 3m @ 1.70 g/t Au from 88m and 7m @ 2.78 g/t Au from 97m (BRC19027)

o 3m @ 7.41 g/t Au from 81m and 10m @ 1.78 g/t Au from 102m (BRC19021)

o 5m @ 2.08 g/t Au from 82m (BRC19019)

Composite RC samples were submitted to Independent Metallurgical Operations for sighter metallurgical testwork. Overall gold recoveries were high averaging 96% with gravity recoverable gold very high at over 50% for both oxide and fresh ore samples with low reagent consumption observed.

The Binduli project area is in close proximity to both Coolgardie and Boorara, with several processing options being assessed as part of the consolidated Feasibility Study. Updated resource modelling, mine optimisation and design work for the Crake prospect are now underway and further RC and diamond drilling will be completed in coming quarters to test areas currently outside the resource envelope and provide further structural information on the orebody.

At the Coote prospect, the Company drilled 14 holes for 1,246m to test historic high grade results and some step out drilling was also conducted (Figure 3). The geology is similar to Crake and Janet Ivy where gold is found within a mineralised pink porphyry. The mineralisation encountered to date is encouraging but appears to be narrower than Crake.

Next Steps

Further exploration and resource drilling has been planned at both Crake and Coote. An updated resource from Crake will be part of the ongoing Feasibility Study. A Mining Lease Application is being progressed over parts of E26/168. In addition, high priority targets including Darter and Honeyeater will be tested as part of the ongoing greenfields exploration program.
