ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
8 APRIL 2024
WOYLA’S VICTORY VEIN DELIVERS HIGH GRADE GOLD
EPITHERMAL VEIN STRIKE LENGTH EXTENDED TO 18.5KM
Far East Gold Limited (FEG or the Company) is pleased to announce that initial assays of drill core from
the first ever drill hole at the Aloe Rek prospect area (ARD-001) in the Company’s highly prospective Woyla
Copper Gold Project have confirmed high-grade gold within the Victory vein system. The Victory vein
system at Aloe Rek was originally Barrick Gold’s top priority prospect area during its historical
ownership period of the Woyla project.
The Company is also pleased to announce the results of detailed field mapping across the Woyla tenement
have confirmed an increase of 5,500m in the strike length of the Woyla project’s low sulphidation
epithermal vein system from 13,000m to 18,500m.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Compiled significant assays from hole ARD-001 at the Woyla project’s Victory vein system include:
•
5m @ 2.36 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag (2.48 g/t AuEq) from 46m - 51m, including:
-
•
•
0.5m @ 15.91 g/t Au, 69 g/t Ag (16.74 g/t AuEq) from 47m - 47.5m
12.4m @ 5.59 g/t Au, 25.3 g/t Ag (5.89 g/t AuEq) from 82.3m - 94.7m, including:
-
9.7m @ 7.06 g/t Au, 31.67 g/t Ag (7.44 g/t AuEq) from 85m – 94.7m and
-
4m @ 11.83 g/t Au, 33.56 g/t Ag (12.23 g/t AuEq) from 85.5m - 89.5m
0.8m @ 3.58 g/t Au, 8.85 g/t Ag (3.69 g/t AuEq) from 123m - 123.8m, including:
-
0.4m @ 6.79 g/t Au, 10.9 g/t Ag (6.92 g/t AuEq) from 123m – 123.4m
•
Highest individual sample assay of 0.9m @ 20.8 g/t Au, 23 g/t Ag (21.1 g/t AuEq) from 86.6m –
87.5m. This interval also contains 1,972 ppm arsenic (As) and 133 ppm antinomy (Sb).
•
Woyla tenement’s total vein system strike length increased by 5,500m from 13,000m to 18,500m.
Recent surface mapping has identified additional veins within the Rek Rinti to Beurieung prospect
structural corridor (Figure 5). The new veins effectively extend the total Woyla vein systems to a
collective strike length of approximately 18.5 km which represents an addition of 5.5 km from the
previous defined estimate of the total vein extent at Woyla. None of the added 5.5 km of vein extent
has been drill tested or sampled in detail.

WOYLA’S VICTORY VEIN DELIVERS HIGH GRADE GOLD ASSAYS
PROJECT’S TOTAL STRIKE LENGTH INCREASED TO 18.5KM
The assays show strong association of high grade gold with significant arsenic and antinomy which is
consistent with the interpretation that the Aloe Rek vein exposures reflect a high level of formation
within Woyla’s epithermal system. These results substantiate assays of previous surface rock
sampling and support the interpretation that the Aloe Rek vein systems reflects a higher level
setting in an epithermal deposit system with enrichment in Au-As-Sb and the occurrence of
bladed-quartz textures.
These features support the Company’s expectation for further intersections of high-grade gold
mineralization within the Aloe Rek veins. The Aloe Rek prospect area is located approximately 1.5km
south of the Aloe Eumpeuk prospect area where high-grade Au-Ag was intersected during an initial
30 hole scout drill program completed in August 2023. Refer to ASX release dated 18 May 2023.
VICTORY VEIN DELIVERS
The primary drill target at the Aloe Rek prospect area is the Victory vein systems, first defined by Barrick
during their exploration at the Woyla project during 1997. Aloe Rek was originally Barrick’s top priority
prospect within the Woyla project. Further exploration by Newcrest (1998) indicated the Victory vein
zone to comprise a complex series of north-south trending quartz lenses and veinlets that can be traced
over a strike distance of more than 1km in a broad zone of argillic altered andesite. Individual veins
exhibit well defined bladed quartz replacing calcite and colloform quartz-adularia banding. Refer
to ASX release of 7 March 2024 for additional historical details of the Victory vein systems.
The assay results also indicate the presence of high arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) within the vein system
with concentrations over the 12.4m interval from 82.3m-94.7m ranging from weighted averages of 5,895
ppm As and 733 ppm Sb. These support the Company’s view that the veins (as exposed) reflect formation
at a relatively high level in the epithermal system.

Included within a 0.5m section (47-47.4m) which assayed 15.9 g/t Au and 69g/t Ag. B) Sample of chalcedonic
/crystalline quartz vein from 86.7m. Included within a 0.9m section which assayed 20.8 g/t Au and 23 g/t Ag.
C) Sample of moderately oxidized, crystalline quartz from 88m. Included as part of a 1m section (87.5-88.5m)
which assayed 13.2 g/t Au and 37.8 g/t Ag. D) Sample of an intensely oxidized milled quartz breccia from 92.8m.
Included as part of a 0.4m (92.8-93.2m) section which assayed 5.6 g/t Au and 22.7 g/t Ag.
Similar to the other Woyla vein zones mapped and drill tested, the Victory vein systems were emplaced
into active fault zones that were reactivated during vein emplacement which resulted in zones showing
multistage quartz veins and quartz breccia. Core observations at Aloe Rek also indicate that the Victory
vein systems were also subjected to intense post-emplacement faulting which broke up the existing
quartz veins producing milled, quartz clast breccias (see image at Figure 4D) and fault breccias which
can contain significant sulphides (arsenopyrite/pyrite) in the breccia matrix.

ATTACHMENT X
JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report SPL1454
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
JORC Code explanation
Sampling
techniques
• 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 instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.
• 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 done 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.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Commentary
• Rock samples were collected from quartz
veins exposed on surface and within hand dug
artisanal miner pits. Individual samples were
comprised as pieces of the vein(s) material
chipped the exposure. Effort was made to
chip across the vein perpendicular to vein
trend. Samples were collected from zones of
visible sulphide mineralization and or
alteration such as clay-pyrite or manganese.
• Samples were bagged and tagged with unique
numbered assay tags inserted into each
sample. The samples were delivered via
commercial carrier to Pt. Geoservices
Geoassay Mineral Laboratory located in
Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. The
samples were oven dried at 105ºC, weighed
then jaw crushed to 70% less than 2mm, riffle
split to obtain 250g, that was then pulverized
to >85% passing 75 microns. Two splits were
taken from this product, one for analysis the
other for QAQC. Each sample was analysed
for gold using FAA30 fire assay method using
a 30g charge with an AAS finish. Samples
containing >50 g/t (ppm) Au were further
assayed using the FAGRAV gravimetric
method. Ag, base metals and a suite of other
elements were estimated by method GA102ICP, which used an aqua regia digest with ICPOES finish. Samples containing >100ppm Ag
were further assayed using GOA-02 method
which was an aqua regia ore grade digest with
an AA finish.
• A single certified reference material and a
blank sample were inserted into the
submitted sample batch for QAQC purpose.
• Drilling is being conducted using a wireline,
man-portable diamond drill. Core is obtained
using PQ (85mm) and HQ (63.5mm) triple
tube core barrels. Oriented drill core is
obtained using an Axis digital Ori tool.

Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Logging
• Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
• The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
• All drill core is logged by Company geologist
discriminating lithologies and recording
pertinent geological observations related to
mineralization and alteration.
• Drilling is conducted using triple tube core
barrel and utilising various drilling muds in
combination with drill bit type and short core
runs to maximize core recovery. The drill
company is contractually obligated to obtain
90% core recovery.
• At this point in the drill program there has not
been enough data collected to determine if
any sampling bias related to core recovery
exists.
• All core is digitally logged in its entirety by
Company geologists using unique capture
codes and in sufficient detail to discriminate
lithologies and record all pertinent geological
observations related to mineralization,
alteration and structural features. The core is
also logged with respect to industry standard
RQD parameters that record basic
geotechnical factors. This data will form the
basis for future mineral resource estimation
and other deposit studies.
• High resolution photographs are taken of all
core boxes prior to being cut both wet and
dry. Photographs are stored for future
reference.

Commentary
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
• The analytical methods selected are deemed
appropriate for the level of analytical
accuracy required at this early stage of
exploration. The objective of the sampling
was to determine where significant Au-Ag
mineralization resides within the various
textural types of quartz veins and alteration
types that occur.
• Half-core samples were bagged and tagged
with unique numbered assay tags inserted
into each sample. The samples were
delivered via commercial carrier to Pt.
Geoservices Geoassay Mineral Laboratory
located in Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java,
Indonesia. The samples were oven dried at
105ºC, weighed then jaw crushed to 70% less
than 2mm, riffle split to obtain 250g, that was
then pulverized to >85% passing 75 microns.
Two splits were taken from this product, one
for analysis the other for QAQC. Each sample
was analysed for gold using FAA30 fire assay
method using a 30g charge with an AAS finish.
Samples containing >50 g/t (ppm) Au were
further assayed using the FAGRAV gravimetric
method. Ag, base metals and a suite of other
elements were estimated by method GA102ICP, which used an aqua regia digest with ICPOES finish. Samples containing >100ppm Ag
were further assayed using GOA-02 method
which was an aqua regia ore grade digest with
an AA finish.
• A single certified reference material and a
blank sample were inserted at the rate of 1
each per 25 core samples. for QAQC purpose.
• The sample preparation completed at
Pt.Geoservices prior to analysis are deemed
appropriate for surface rock and drill core
samples. Select high grade Au samples will
also be analysed using a screen fire assay
technique to determine if any coarse Au
(+200 mesh) occurs.
• Drill core is cut in half using a core saw with
half core sampled for individual assay.
Geologists are careful to avoid any sampling
bias. Samples are collected at 0.25 to 1m
intervals. to optimise understanding of the
controls of mineralization with attention
given to characterizing the different rock
types and types and styles of mineralization
and alteration that occur.
3
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
• The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
• The sample prep and assay methods
utilized by Pt. Geoservices are
appropriate for the sample type
assayed and level of accuracy
required.
• The Company regularly uses an
Olympus Vanta portable hand-held
XRF analyzer (2022) to screen drill
core for mineralization before cutting
and sampling. This allows for some
understanding of the distribution of
mineralization prior to sampling to
better ensure that the sampled core
is representative of the type and
style of mineralization. Numerous
readings are obtained and recorded
for future reference.
• The hand-held XRF provides
confirmation that mineralization is
present however it is not an accurate
determination of the concentration
within the sample analysed.
Limitations include; very small
sampling window, homogeneity of
mineralization, penetration depth,
possible surface effects, etc.
• The results obtained from the hand
held pXRF are subject to
confirmation by chemical analysis
from an independent laboratory.
• The Company employs industry
standard QAQC protocols to check the
accuracy and bias of reported sample
assays. Sample assay failures are
indicated if outside of 3 standard
deviations.
Certified
reference
material, blanks and sample splits are
also tracked over time to determine if
any bias.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying
• The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification,

data codes for lithology, alteration,
mineralization and related rock
characteristics.
• Core logging digital data is checked
and verified for errors along with core
assay data by Company data manager
and stored in Access format.
• There is no adjustment of assay data
after QAQC determination of pass or
fail.
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Drillhole collars and collected field
samples are located using hand-held
Garmin GPS to a <5m accuracy.
• Drillhole collar locations will also be
located by a surveyor using a Trimble
GPS unit to a <1m accuracy.

• Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
• The project datum is UTM WGS 84 –
Zone 47N.
• The Company has resurveyed and
confirmed accuracy of historical
survey benchmarks on the property
for current surveying requirements.

Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
• The spacing of collected field samples
and the spacing of drill hole collars is
deemed appropriate for the level of
the current exploration program and
initial drilling of selected targets to
identify where mineralization occurs.
This will be followed by more rigorous
drilling to establish continuity and
grade profile within zones of potential
resource determination.
• No physical sample compositing has
been applied aside. Reported assays
are
averaged
over
specific,
continuous
zones
if
deemed
significant. A cut-off of 0.2 g/t Au with
a maximum 1m of internal dilution is
utilized for determination of a
significant assay interval. No top cut
of high-grade assays has been done.
• Where assay intervals include
variable sample lengths the sample
assays are weighted over the selected
interval length to account for the
variation.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
• If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
• Collected field samples and drill hole
locations and drilling parameters are
set to best obtain representative data
according to the interpreted type and
style and controls of mineralization
being tested. Particular effort is made
to drill normal to such controlling
structures or host stratigraphy to
obtain a near to true width zone
indication as possible.
• Downhole core orientations were
obtained using a Axis digital
orientation tool.
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
• Collected samples were placed in
sturdy plastic sacks and sealed for
transport. Samples are delivered to

(PT WAM), which consists in 80%
Woyla Aceh Ltd, 15% Quralon Pte Ltd,
2.5% PT Mutiara Mitramin, 2.5% PT
Indo Noble Abadi. PT WAM holds a 6th
Generation Contract of Work dated 17
March 1997.
The Woyla Contract of Work was
under a Mines Department approved
state of suspension from exploration
activities from 1999-2006 during the
prolonged civil conflict in Aceh. An
extended moratorium on exploration
activities within Aceh has recently
been lifted.
The
Contract
of
Work
(177.K/30/DJB/2018)
for
the
tenement was in voluntary suspension
until FEG secured the necessary
environmental and land use permits.
FEG has recently been granted the
environmental permit (PIPPIB) for
7688 ha of the protected forest area.
This allows FEG to conduct exploration
activities within the permit area under
certain conditions.
Reconnaissance and detailed
geological mapping were completed
during 1996 – 1997 by Newcrest
Mining and Barrick Gold. A
helicopter-borne magnetic and
radiometric survey was flown by
World Geoscience in 1996. The
companies collected stream, soil and
rock samples of exposed veins and
also completed petrology studies on
selected samples.

Commentary
Geology
• Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The project area sits within the Neogene
Gold Belt of Sumatra, characterised by
Miocene-Neogene gold intrusion centred
mineralisation. Along strike in a NW
direction from the project area are the
Miwah high-sulphidation gold deposit and
Beutong- porphyry and skarn system and
along strike to the SE lies the Abong
(sediment hosted) and Meluak (highsulphidation) gold deposits.
• Previous exploration has identified several
low sulphidation, epithermal type Au-Ag
bearing quartz/breccia systems hosted
within and likely controlled by a series of
fault structures related to the Sumatra Fault
and emplacement of intrusions. As such,
Au-Cu porphyry style, associated skarn and
high- sulphidation Au may also be found
within the Woyla project area. Downstream
from the known veins systems are several
alluvial-Au workings (Anu Renguet).
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
• 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.
• No previous drilling has been completed.
• Specific details of all drill holes completed
by FEG are reported.
