OVERVIEW Exploration Air Core (“AC”) drilling was completed during the quarter at the Katanning Gold Project (“KGP”), 100% owned by Ausgold Limited (ASX: AUC) (“Ausgold” or “the Company”). The drilling program was undertaken at high priority targets at White Dam, Jackson, Datatine and Jinkas West. Assay results were very encouraging and affirm predictive aspects of the geological model, which is anticipated to contribute to an increase in the Global Mineral Resource at the KGP. HIGHLIGHTS Drilling completed at the KGP during the Quarter
Results of drilling and exploration efforts during the Quarter demonstrated that
the exploration model applied at the KGP is valid. With confidence that the
exploration model is valid, Ausgold can actively progress exploration efforts at
the KGP
Assay results received during the Quarter confirm a new discovery at Datatine
with high grade gold intersected, with intersections including:
o 22m @ 3.67 g/t (from 4m to the end of hole), including 4m @ 16.90 g/t from 4m in BSAC1343
o 17m @ 1.00 g/t (from 16m to the end of hole), in BSAC1344 o 18m @ 0.86 g/t (from 0m to the end of hole), including 4m @ 3.41 g/t
from 8m in BSAC1340 o 18m @ 0.44 g/t (from 0m to the end of hole), including 1m @ 5.67 g/t
from 17m in BSAC1341 o 12m @ 0.71 g/t (from 12m to the end of hole), including 1m @ 3.00 g/t
from 23m in BSAC1342
Ausgold plans to systematically follow up various targets at the KGP, including:
o Regional aeromagnetic survey across the KGP o RC drill testing of high grade intercepts at Datatine (approximately
500m) o RC drilling at White Dam to extend the high grade shoot o Wider AC drilling at Datatine during the September Quarter
(approximately 5000m) o AC drilling of priority target areas over the wider KGP (approximately
8000m)
CORPORATE During the Quarter Mr Neil Fearis was appointed to the Board as Non-Executive Director of the Company, following the resignation of Mr Stephen Thomas. Subsequent to the Quarter end Mr Geoffrey Jones was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Jones, a civil engineer, is the current Managing Director of GR Engineering Services Limited. Subsequent to the Quarter end, Ausgold completed a placement of 21,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.05 per share to raise $1.05m before costs. Proceeds are to be used to fund the Company’s exploration and resource development programs at the KGP and to provide additional working capital.

JUNE 2016 QUARTERLY REPORT 2
KATANNING GOLD PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (AUC 100%) The Katanning Gold Project (“KGP”) is located 275 kilometres southeast of Perth and approximately 40km northeast of the wheatbelt town of Katanning. Ausgold holds a dominant ground position in this relatively under-explored greenstone belt (Figure 1), an area highly prospective for Archaean gold deposits. During 2015 Ausgold announced an updated Global Resource following extensive geological and mineralisation modelling, developed in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code (Table 1). The Mineral Resource, which is reported at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade and restricted to approximately 150 metres below surface, is estimated at 16.4 million tonnes at 1.21 g/t for a total of 637,330 contained ounces. Ausgold believes that there is significant scope to increase the grade and size of the current Mineral Resource at the KGP. Ausgold aims to become a mid-sized Western Australian gold producer through successful development and exploitation of the KGP, in particular the flagship deposits at Jinkas and Dingo (Figure 2). For further details, please refer to the “Scoping Study Katanning Gold Project” released to ASX on 25 November 2015.

Table 1. Updated Resource Estimate – SRK Consulting (September-October 2015) Notes:
The Mineral Resource is reported at a lower cut-off grade of 0.50g/t gold.
For the Jinkas Main Lodes, a top cut of 50g/t has been applied (with top-cuts of 15g/t and 20g/t applied for the Jinkas HW Lodes). For the Dingo Main Lode a top cut of 20g/t has been applied.
The topographic surface at the KGP is at approximately 360mRL with the updated Mineral Resource estimate stated to a depth of 210mRL (approximately 150 metres below land surface).
Quarterly Drilling Program During the quarter to 30 June 2016, the Company undertook exploration at the KGP with a focus on resource expansion and new discovery. Systematic AC drilling was completed across multiple high priority gold exploration targets at Jinkas West and Datatine.
Datatine The Datatine prospect is located approximately 7km north of the Jinkas deposit and is an example of a new and prospective exploration target emerging from the new exploration model and targeting. During a hiatus in exploration activity at the KGP between 2013 and 2015, a thorough re-interpretation using the data available (including open pit exposures, diamond core, drill logs, geophysical and geochemical datasets) revealed the complexity of controls on mineralisation and highlighted the presence of high grade pipe-like shoots. Datatine represents a high priority target with a coherent geochemical anomaly and a coincident Jinkas magnetic “look-alike” geophysical signature. The magnetic anomaly at Datatine is orientated east-west, rather than north-north-west, as at Jinkas. Historic drilling at Datatine was undertaken on an east-west orientation, which in light of the subsequent geophysical analysis was deemed to be sub-optimal. The recent AC drilling was re-oriented on a north-south direction (335° azimuth) to intersect any potential mineralised structures. This AC program identified significant gold anomalism extending over 400m in strike, which appears to be open in all directions, including at depth (Figure 4). This anomalism corresponds to existing coherent gold-in-soil anomalies and a prospective fold structure as interpreted from airborne magnetics (Figure 3). Significant results are included in Table 2, with intercepts of note including:

12m @ 0.71 g/t (from 12m to the end of hole), including 1m @ 3.00 g/t from 23m in BSAC1342 Gold mineralisation intersected (Figure 3, Figure 4 and Table 2) is associated with saprolitic sheared and altered biotite-sericite-chlorite mafic granulites (+\- quartz veining) and felsic adamellites, indicating similar geology to that at Jinkas.
Figure 3. Datatine prospect AC plan showing gridded max DH Au, mineralisation trends, and planned RC holes
An anomalous in-situ lateritic gold halo overlies the deeper saprolitic gold mineralisation. The AC drilling results are suggestive of broader and more extensive mineralised zones. The ore grade tenor of the assay results suggests that both primary gold mineralisation and supergene anomalism have been intersected. The dip and strike of the mineralised zones remain subject to confirmation with further drilling.

Figure 4. Datatine prospect AC cross-section showing schematic interpreted geology and mineralisation
112 AC holes for 3,312m were drilled to test a 1 x 1 kilometre coherent gold anomaly defined from surface soil geochemistry, which is coincident with a structural target identified by geophysical data.
Proposed Follow up Program The assay and geological data derived from the AC drilling has assisted in modelling the major mineralised trends at the Datatine North target area. The aim of the planned RC drilling is to better define the lateral and vertical extents of this mineralisation.
The initial phase of follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling has been planned to commence in the September Quarter 2016. This program will comprise 5 RC holes for approximately 500m. A number of RC holes will be designed to re-confirm the high-grade AC intercepts, while other holes will test mineralisation down dip and approximately 50m along strike to the east-north-east.
Further reconnaissance AC drilling across priority targets (Figure 5) is planned to commence in the September Quarter, in addition to further follow-up RC drilling, subject to the availability of funding. A Program of Works (POW) has been submitted and approved by the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP).

Other Activities
An active, multi-faceted exploration and development strategy will systematically identify, develop and progress new mineral resources, exploration targets and realise the value of the KGP asset.
There are several important considerations for the exploration strategy at the KGP: 1. Ausgold has a very large tenement holding, therefore it is important to identify techniques that can
rapidly improve information to enable the Company to focus on exploration in areas of high potential
2. The 3D geological and structural depth architecture of the area is poorly defined due to the limited depth of drill hole information in regional areas.
Therefore, Ausgold plans to fly detailed airborne magnetics data on a more regional scale at the KGP. The existing aeromagnetics dataset proved to be an important tool to assist with the delineation of structures that control mineralisation.

JUNE 2016 QUARTERLY REPORT 8
Ausgold has engaged SRK Consulting (SRK) as part of its exploration and research strategy to target high-grade gold mineralisation at the KGP. Using these new geoscience concepts, initially developed with the assistance of SRK, has already enabled Ausgold to recognise the exploration and discovery potential at the KGP. It is anticipated that the continuing development of these new geological concepts with SRK will give Ausgold a competitive edge in identifying further opportunities at the KGP.
During the coming Quarter, Ausgold will undertake a 1000m RC drilling program at the White Dam deposit to extend the high grade shoot up-plunge and at depth. Ausgold will embark on a Mineral Resource update for the White Dam deposit, to incorporate results from the planned RC program and the recently announced exceptional drilling results (refer ASX announcement “Drilling confirms high grade shoot extensions at KGP” dated 7/4/16).
In addition, a scoping study update is proposed which will include the Jackson and White Dam Mineral Resources. Market changes and recent drilling results at these deposits have improved their viability for inclusion in preliminary mining development studies.

DOOLGUNNA STATION, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (AUC 100%) Ausgold’s 100%-owned Doolgunna Project E52/3031 covers an area of 203 square kilometres and is located 125km NNE of Meekatharra (Figure 7), 20km ENE of the historic Peak Hill mining centre and 13km WNW of the DeGrussa copper-gold deposit. The tenement is contiguous with Sandfire Resources NL (SFR)’s Doolgunna project tenements to the east and contains both the Narracoota Volcanics and the faulted contact between the Marymia Inlier and Capricorn orogeny, making the region prospective for mesothermal lode gold deposits, volcanic hosted massive sulphide (“VMS”), shear zone-hosted copper, sedimentary hosted lead, supergene enriched manganese, banded-iron-formation iron ore and talc mineralisation.

JUNE 2016 QUARTERLY REPORT 11
Ausgold commissioned Precision Geophysics Pty Ltd to carry out an independent review of geophysical surveys carried out at its Doolgunna Project. Based on recommendations from the review, Ausgold proposed future follow-up work, including a high energy fixed loop (“FLEM”) geophysical survey of the south east corner of the Doolgunna tenement adjacent to SFR’s Noonyereena VMS prospect. Modern FLEM geophysical technology has been successful in leading SFR to favourable stratigraphy hosting the Monty discovery and Homer prospect, and in identifying drill targets. The discovery holes at SFR’s Monty project include diamond drill holes TLDD0004 (16.5m grading 18.9% Cu and 2.1 g/t Au, from 409.5m) and TLDD0005 (9.2m grading 11.8% Cu and 2.9 g/t Au, from 417m) and highlight the potential for discovery of high grade copper-gold sulphide mineralisation in favourable VMS stratigraphy throughout the entire Bryah Basin and outside the immediate DeGrussa mine environment.
YAMARNA, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (AUC 100%)
The Yamarna Project is located approximately 125 kilometres north-east of Laverton in central Western Australia on Exploration Licences E38/2129 and E38/2863. The exploration licences comprise approximately 300 square kilometres of prospective ground over the easternmost Yamarna Archaean greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton. The historic Jutson Rocks and Chapman’s Reward gold mines are situated southeast of the Project (E38/2129) and copper and nickel sulphide mineralisation was discovered by Ausgold at the Winchester prospect in 2010, when a number of electrical geophysical anomalies were tested by RC drilling. A review of the VTEM targets established that further drilling at the Winchester prospect is warranted.
CRACOW, QUEENSLAND (AUC 100%)
Ausgold holds one tenement over approximately 250 square kilometres in the Cracow region, approximately 375km north-west of Brisbane. The tenements cover extensive areas of prospective Camboon Volcanics, which host the high-grade epithermal +1 million ounce Au-Ag Cracow gold system. Exploration to date at Cracow has included geological mapping, stream sediment sampling and follow-up by soil sampling of target areas. Table 2.
