    ASX RELEASE 20 September 2017
    ASX: MGV
    Gold Results Continue to Extend Break of Day
    Near surface drilling to test the open cut mining potential at Break of Day has intersected: o 13m @ 8.8g/t Au from 102m down hole (17MORC093) including; 1m @ 28.7g/t Au from 102m down hole and
    1m @ 62.0g/t Au from 113m down hole
    o 4m @ 10.5g/t Au from 52m down hole (17MORC098) including; 2m @ 18.8g/t Au from 53m down hole
     
     
    Extensional drilling at Break of Day has intersected further high-grade gold south of the current resource including: o 1m @ 13.6g/t Au from 171m down hole (17MORC090),
    o 2m @ 5.2g/t Au from 234m down hole (17MORC086) including: 1m @ 9.4g/t Au from 234m down hole
     
     
    The extensional drill intersections are approximately 100m south of the previous resource drilling and above the projected position of the new high-grade shoot defined by drill hole 17MORC084 that intersected 11m @ 54.0g/t Au
    The combined strike length of the lodes at Break of Day is now approximately 800m and still open along strike and down plunge
    Drilling of the new Louise target has intersected gold mineralisation within quartz veining and alteration in a geological setting very similar to Break of Day
    Musgrave Minerals Ltd ("Musgrave" or "the Company") (ASX: MGV) is pleased to report further intersections at the Break of Day deposit with results received from the recently completed reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program. The wholly owned Break of Day gold deposit is on the Cue Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia (Figure 1).
    Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh commented,
    "The Break of Day deposit continues to grow with the new south plunging high-grade shoot still open. This new shoot is projected below the current drilling and creates a significant opportunity for the Company to grow the high-grade gold resource at Break of Day. The high-grade gold intersected near surface will also enhance the open cut mining potential at Break of Day."
    "The Musgrave team will aim to double the Moyagee resource over the next 18 months through additional RC and diamond drilling. We are yet to find the edges of the Break of Day deposit which is proving to be part of a significant high-grade mineralised gold system."2
    Break of Day hosts a combined (Indicated and Inferred) Mineral Resource of 868kt @ 7.15g/t Au for 199koz Au (see ASX announcement 14 July 2017, "Resource Estimate Exceeds 350koz Gold") and the purpose of the recent program was to identify extensions to this resource.
    Musgrave has now received assay results for all but two drill holes from the recently completed 20 hole, RC drill program (
    Table 1).
    BREAK OF DAY
    Individual 1m assay results for all drill holes (Figure 1) from the recently completed drill program at Break of Day have been received as presented in Table 1.
    Extensional drill hole 17MORC086 intersected
    2m @ 5.2g/t Au from 234m down hole on the Twilight Lode including 1m @ 9.4g/t Au from 234m. This intercept is outside the current Mineral Resource boundary. The drill hole lifted and as such did not test the interpreted down plunge position of the new southern high-grade shoot (Figures 2 and 5).
    Drill hole 17MORC090 intersected
    1m @ 13.6g/t Au from 171m down hole on the Twilight Lode and is also outside the current Mineral Resource boundary and above the interpreted position of the south plunging high-grade shoot (Figures 3 and 5). This intersection is approximately 50m south of 17MORC084 (11m @ 54.0g/t Au - see ASX announcement 5 September 2017, "Drilling Hits 11m @ 54.0g/t Au at Break of Day") and extends the gold mineralisation to the south where it is still open (Figures 1 and 5).
    Further drilling will commence in early October to test the potential down plunge extension of this new south plunging high-grade shoot.
    Drill holes 17MORC092-93 and 17MORC097-98 were drilled to test the near surface extension of the Velvet Lode in an area previously not drilled and intersected significant high-grade gold mineralisation (Figure 4). These gold intercepts are potentially open pittable and will add to the current resource.
    The best intersections include:
    o 17MORC093 13m @ 8.8g/t Au from 102m down hole including: • 1m @ 28.7g/t Au from 102m and 1m @ 62.0g/t Au from 113m
     
    and
    o 17MORC098 4m @ 10.5g/t Au from 52m down hole including: • 2m @ 18.8g/t Au from 53m down hole
     
    The southern-most drill hole 17MORC100 intersected 1m @ 4.6g/t Au from 49m down hole on the Velvet Lode at Break of Day indicating that the mineralisation is still open to the south and that the Velvet and Twilight Lodes can now be traced over a combined strike length of approximately 800m.
    The high-grade gold mineralisation at Break of Day occurs in vertical to steep westerly dipping, semi-parallel quartz lodes hosting gold with minor (1-2%) pyrite, within a basaltic stratigraphic sequence. The separation of the Twilight and Velvet gold lodes varies along strike from 10 to 60 metres. The gold mineralisation is currently open along strike and down plunge.

    LOUISE
    Three holes were drilled to test the Louise gold target 600m south of Break of Day along the same mineralised shear zone that hosts the high-grade Break of Day deposit. Significant quartz veining and alteration was intersected in all three drill holes with a best result of 3m @ 2.75g/t Au from 116m (17MORC095) (Figure 6). Interpretation of the data suggests that the drilling has not effectively tested the potential for a plunging high-grade gold shoot below the historical workings similar to that recently intersected at Break of Day.
    Managing Director Rob Waugh said,
    "This is a positive early result at Louise and the drill hole geology supports the theory that we could be on the edge of a higher grade mineralised shoot. The team is looking forward to further drill testing of this new target."
    Additionally, the drilling has confirmed that the Louise Prospect occurs in the same stratigraphic sequence and along the same structure that host the current Mineral Resource at Break of Day to the north, and Leviticus to the south. The mineralised structure is still open to the north and south and with drilling confirming mineralisation over a strike length of 2.3km. The structure can be interpreted from magnetics to extend for over 20km with considerable upside to discover additional high-grade deposits along its length.
    Further RC drilling is being planned at Louise for late October.6

    THE CUE PROJECT
    The Cue Project ("the Project") is located in the Murchison district of Western Australia with important key tenure wholly owned by Musgrave Minerals (Figure 7). The Project consists of the Moyagee Gold and Hollandaire Copper Resources (see MGV ASX announcement 14 July 2017, "Resource Estimate Exceeds 350koz Gold" and Silver Lake Resources Limited’s ASX announcement 26 August 2016, "Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Update"). The Company believes there is significant potential to grow the existing Mineral Resources base.
