Announcement PDF
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
27 August 2025
New Gold Bearing Zones Identified at North Bermol
Far East Gold Limited (ASX: FEG) is pleased to report the discovery of new gold mineralised zones
at the North Bermol prospect, located approximately 1.5km northwest of current drilling activities at
the Bermol prospect.
Recent detailed geological mapping has outlined mineralised quartz veins and boudins up to 1m thick
within the North Bermol area. Assay results from grab samples returned grades of up to 25.9 g/t Au
and 7.8 g/t Ag from sulphide-bearing (arsenopyrite/pyrite) quartz veins over a 15m exposed
outcrop. The mineralisation dips shallowly at ~20 degrees and exhibits a style consistent with that
already identified at Bermol, supporting the interpretation that both areas are linked within a
broader 4km-long, northeast-trending structural corridor.
These results highlight the potential for further discovery of additional mineralised zones across
the corridor, significantly enhancing the exploration upside at the Bermol prospect and Idenburg.
HIGHLIGHTS:
•
New mineralised quartz veins mapped at North Bermol – Detailed mapping has identified
sulphide-bearing quartz veins and boudins within northwest-trending structures. This is in
contrast to the predominately northeast-trending shear zones seen at Bermol, opening up
additional target areas for testing in the current Phase 1 drill program.
•
Additional high-priority targets to be advanced – The Company will conduct further
mapping and sampling at Nova (north of the Sua prospect) and Tekai (west of the Mafi
prospect). Historic results include:
- Nova: surface outcrop sampling of 3.9 g/t and 9.0 g/t Au over 1m.
- Tekai: chip samples from sheared quartz veins ~800m apart assayed 58.2 g/t and 79.8
g/t Au.
•
Expanding high-grade potential – The mapping confirms the presence of high-grade gold
mineralisation and supports the potential to expand resources across multiple prospects.

IDENBURG PROJECT – NEW DISCOVERY
Figure 1: Map showing prospect and resource areas within the Idenburg COW tenement. Recent mapping was
completed in the North Bermol prospect area and discovered new zones of gold mineralisation hosted within quartzsulphide veins and boudins. Refer to Figure 2.
Detailed Mapping Results:
In parallel with the Phase 1 drilling program, the Company has advanced a campaign of detailed
geological mapping across the Bermol prospect areas. This work is designed to identify new goldbearing zones that may be incorporated into ongoing drilling, with the objective of rapidly expanding
the scope of exploration.
The North Bermol prospect is interpreted as the northern extension of a ~4km-long mineralised
structural corridor. While the corridor trends predominantly northeast, mapping has revealed the
presence of additional fault and shear zones with alternative orientations. The recognition of these
cross-cutting structures is considered highly significant, as their relative timing and association with
gold mineralisation are key to unlocking the broader exploration potential of the corridor.
These findings continue to strengthen the Company’s confidence in the Idenburg Project, highlighting
the potential for further high-grade discoveries. Historical exploration data across Idenburg, including
the Independent Exploration Target Report prepared by SMGC (released to the ASX on 21 August
2024), provides additional context and supports the emerging interpretation of a large, mineralised
system with multiple prospective targets.

Criteria
Sampling
techniques
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down-hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF

• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been completed this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• All drill core was digitally
photographed and logged
by project geologists.
Core with any potential for
mineralisation
was
marked up for sampling
and despatched to an
analytical laboratory for
geochemical
analysis.
Only
obvious
nonmineralised core was not
sampled.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades
are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,
its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down-hole lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down-hole length, true width not known’).
• Significant intercepts were
calculated using a 0.5
ppm lower cutoff at Mafi
and
0.8 ppm Au at all other
prospects, 100 ppm
uppercut, maximum
consecutive waste 1 m.
• No metal equivalent values
considered.
• The drill targets were
tested with the aim of
intersecting
the
interpreted
mineralised
structure
as
perpendicularly
as
possible to the strike,
based on the geological
interpretation
available
usually from surface creek
mapping and mapping of
trench
and
channel
exposures. Mineralised
zones were generally
intersected at angles of
greater than 60 degrees
to the dip, which will
cause
a
slight
overstatement of the true
mineralised width.
• Results are reported as
down-hole widths, in most
cases, the true width is
approximately 80-85 % of
the down-hole length.
Diagrams
• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should
be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

conducted to assess if the
data was suitable to support
the estimating and reporting
of Gold Resources by a
Competent
Person
according
to
SMGC’s
interpretation of the 2012

Site visits
• Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the
outcome of those visits.
• If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case.
• A complete review of the
geological database was
conducted to assess if the
data was suitable to support
the estimating and reporting
of Gold Resources by a
Competent Person according
to SMGC’s interpretation of
the 2012 JORC Code.
• To allow estimation and
reporting according to
SMGC’s interpretation of the
2012 JORC Code, a
Resource must have enough
valid points of observation,
and these points must be
suitably spaced to accurately
represent the deposit being
modelled. Domain continuity
and its characteristics must
be understood to allow
confirmation of the Resource.
Points of observation can be
outcrops, exploration
trenches, or boreholes.
• Valid points of observation
require the following
information: correct survey
location data; and ensuring
that there is an acceptable
discrepancy with the surface
topography, and geological
logs detailing the various
lithologies and geological
structures present at a given
location, and a downhole
survey must be undertaken
to check for borehole
deviation, and representative
ore samples must be
collected and submitted to an
accredited laboratory for
analysis, followed by
verification through QA/QC
procedures.
• The majority of all the above
criteria were met by IMI
project exploration data to
date. Previous QA/QC was
only conducted within the
laboratory during the
exploration stage and
subsequent disturbance of
drill core during IMI transport
did not allow for additional
QAQC by SMGC..
