LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder
The Company listed on the ASX in late December 2016 after the simultaneous acquisition of
the Gum Creek Gold Project from Panoramic Resources Limited and raising $15 million for
exploration and development studies.
The Gum Creek Gold Project is located 640km north east
of Perth and provides both exploration and potential
development opportunities in a historically proven
gold province. The Project has previously produced
over one million ounces of gold and currently hosts
JORC 2012 Mineral Resources of 17.3 million tonnes
averaging 2.25g/t gold containing 1.25 million ounces
of gold. Having been an operating mine, the Project
benefits from having substantial infrastructure on
site including a 110 person camp, operational airstrip,
tailings storage facilities, an extensive road network
and a 600,000tpa processing plant (not operational).
The Company’s stated objectives are to:
•
undertake extensional and infill drilling to grow the
known resources and lift defined resources into
higher-confidence JORC categories;
•
undertake regional exploration targeting new gold
discoveries outside of the known resources; and
•
carry out development studies (including but
not limited to metallurgical and processing
investigations) on the free milling and refractory
mineralisation.
Horizon started on-ground exploration activities in
January 2017. The initial focus of exploration was the
follow-up evaluation of the fourteen priority regional
targets outline in the Company Prospectus dated 21
October 2016. In addition to this, reverse circulation
(RC) drilling was completed at Heron South and on
five priority induced polarisation (IP) targets identified
along the Wilsons Shear.
The drilling at Heron South was successful, intersecting
mineralisation in six of the seven holes. Importantly,
the high-grade intercept at the southern end of Heron
South indicates that there is further potential to extend
the depth and strike length of the gold mineralisation.
Additionally, mineralisation previously intersected in
the central part of the prospect remains open below
~350mRL. Based on these early results, further drilling
is proposed to test the southern and depth extensions
to Heron South.
Six holes were drilled along the Wilsons Shear Zone
on five IP targets. All six holes intersected sulphide
mineralisation where predicted by the IP targeting.
While no significant gold assays were returned from the
sulphide zones intersected, the drilling of these five IP
targets has demonstrated the technical effectiveness
of the IP method in locating sulphide mineralisation
in this geological environment. More highly ranked
Wilsons Shear Zone IP targets lying to the south of
Wilsons will be tested in FY2018.
The follow-up evaluation of the fourteen priority
regional targets has been completed from which
twenty prospect areas were identified for RC and
aircore drill testing.
Drilling of these prospect
areas, which form the basis of the FY2018 Regional
Exploration Program, commenced in August 2017. The
initial program consists of 6,000m of RC and 13,000m
of aircore drilling. Priority prospect areas include:
•
eleven IP targets along the Wilsons Shear Zone;
•
extensions to the Psi mineralisation; and
•
de-magnetised
BIF
targets
with
characteristics to the Psi Prospect.
similar
On behalf of the Directors, I would like to thank the
team at Somers and Partners for their assistance
during the IPO process and for underwriting the capital
raising. Thanks also to Zeta Resources Limited and
the Panoramic shareholders who participated in the
IPO and to all the new Horizon shareholders for their
support.
While news flow was limited during the early stages
of the follow up exploration programs, activities have
ramped up recently and FY2018 promises to be a busy
year for Horizon. We look forward to providing you
with frequent updates in relation to the exploration
activities and discovering more gold at Gum Creek.
Yours sincerely
Peter Harold
Non-Executive Chairman

Gold was first discovered in the area at Jonesville
(now part of the Swan Bitter deposit) in 1926, with
first recorded gold production in 1931. Modern mining
operations commenced in the 1980’s and ceased in
2005 when the gold price was approximately A$550/
oz. In that time, in excess of one million ounces of gold
was produced from more than twenty open pits and
in underground mines, with the main gold-producing
areas being Swan-Swift, Kingfisher, Omega and
Montague.
Due to its previous operational status, the Project
benefits from substantial legacy infrastructure
remaining on site including a 110 person camp,
operational airstrip, tailings storage facilities, and an
extensive road network. The camp and associated
infrastructure provides accommodation facilities for
the care and maintenance staff and exploration crews
in close proximity to their activities. A 600,000tpa
processing plant is also located on site, however, due
2017 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 4
to its age and condition, significant capital investment
on refurbishment would be required to return the plant
to operating condition.
Gum Creek
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Regional Geology
The Project covers most of the Gum Creek
Greenstone Belt, situated within the
Southern Cross Province of the Youanmi
Terrane, a part of the Archaean Yilgarn
craton in Western Australia. The Gum
Creek Greenstone Belt forms a lensoid,
broadly sinusoidal structure about 110km
long and 24km wide, dominated by
volcanic and sedimentary sequences and
surrounded by intrusive granitoids which
contain rafts of greenstones. The margins
of the belt are typically dominated by
contact-metamorphosed basalts and
banded iron formations. A geological
map of the belt is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1. Location of the Project and selected other gold projects in the region
Five main styles of mineralisation are recognised in the area:
•
Quartz-carbonate (±pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite) veins. Typically free milling and locally high
grade (>20g/t Au). Form complex conjugate vein arrays associated with brittle dilational openings developed
along major shears within competent mafic host rocks. Carbonate-sulphide wall-rock alteration is common
about mineralised zones and extensive supergene enrichment often overlies the primary mineralisation
zones. Deposits of this type represent the dominant mineralisation type at Gum Creek and include Swan
Bitter, Swift, Kingfisher and Wyooda/Thangoo.
•
Ductile shear hosted mineralisation – arsenopyrite dominant. Fine grained gold associated with sulphide
rich, intense biotite-sericite altered narrow ductile shear zones. Gold grades are typically in the range 5-10g/t
Au. Arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite are the dominant sulphides with most gold locked within the arsenopyrite.
Examples of this style of mineralisation are the refractory deposits of Wilsons, Heron South, Snook and Camel
Bore.
•
Ductile shear hosted mineralisation – pyrite dominant. Fine grained gold associated with sulphide poor, broad
ductile shear zones developed within mafic host rocks. Shearing typically defined by weak biotite alteration,
up to 1% fine pyrite and a sparse network of thin (1-3mm thick) quartz veins. Gold grades are typically in
the range 0.5–1.5g/t Au and the mineralisation is free milling. The Howards deposit is representative of this
mineralisation style.
•
BIF hosted mineralisation. Quartz-pyrrhotite veining and pyrrhotite replacement of magnetite meso-bands
form narrow steep-plunging shoots of limited length and width, but extending to depth. This mineralisation
style occurs in fold hinges within banded iron formation marginal to major north-south shear zones, and is
similar to the Hill 50 mineralisation at Mt Magnet. Grades are typically 1-10g/t Au and the mineralisation is
free milling. The Omega deposit is of this style.
•
Quartz veins. Sulphide poor, sheeted and anastomosing quartz veins and lenses developed in shears
straddling granodiorite contacts within the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt. Grades are typically 1-5g/t Au. The
Montague deposits, which are free milling, represent this style of mineralisation.

Exploration and Development Strategy
The Company’s strategy for the Gum Creek Gold
Project comprises three key objectives:
•
•
undertake extensional and infill drilling to grow the
known resources and lift defined resources into
higher-confidence JORC categories;
undertake regional exploration targeting new gold
discoveries outside of the known resources; and
2017 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE 6
•
carry out development studies (including, but
not limited to metallurgical and processing
investigations) on the free milling and refractory
mineralisation.
Importantly, Horizon has identified multiple drill
targets and possible resource extension opportunities
at the Project which could grow the existing resource
inventory.
EXPLORATION
Exploration Strategy
Horizon commenced exploration activities on the Gum
Creek Gold Project in January 2017. The Company’s
exploration strategy is to undertake extensional and
infill drilling to grow the known resources and convert
defined resources into higher-confidence JORC
categories as well as undertaking regional exploration
activities targeting new gold discoveries outside of the
known resources.
FY2017 HIGHLIGHTS
•
•
•
•
Completion of an RC drill program at Heron South;
Initial RC drill testing of five IP targets identified along the Wilsons Shear;
Completion of follow-up geological surveys of the fourteen high-priority targets; and
The commencement of RC and aircore drill programs to test twenty new prospects.
Exploration Programs
The previous owner of Gum Creek, Panoramic
Resources Limited (Panoramic), assembled fully
integrated, high quality, belt scale geological,
geophysical and geochemical datasets. From these
datasets, Horizon identified fourteen high priority
regional targets (labelled T1 to T14 in Figure 3) for
follow-up exploration.
These fourteen regional targets form the basis for the
Company’s regional exploration program and since
listing on the ASX in late December 2016, the focus
has been on the evaluation of these regional targets
through a staged exploration program, which included:
•
2,600 line kilometres of airborne magnetic and
spectrometer surveying;
•
263 line kilometres of electro-magnetic VTEM
surveying;
•
53 moving loop EM (MLEM) profiles for a total 51.5
line kilometres of surveying; and
•
95 dipole dipole induced polarisation (IP) profiles
for 203.8 line kilometres of surveying, most of
which (58 profiles and 91.5 line kilometres), was
completed along a 20km section of the Wilsons
Shear between Camel Bore and to the southern
tenement boundary of E57/676.
This phase of exploration resulted in twenty prospect
areas (Figure 4) being identified for follow-up reverse
circulation (RC) and aircore drill testing which forms
the basis of the FY2018 Regional Exploration Program.

EXPLORATION
Heron South
At Heron South, seven infill resource holes (HRC537 HRC543) were completed for a total of 1,223 drill metres
(Figure 5). All holes, except for HRC538, intersected
the mineralised Heron South structure close to the
nominated target depth. Best results returned were:
•
3m @ 6.00g/t Au in HRC539 from 88.0 metres;
•
4m @ 5.00g/t Au in HRC540 from 99.0 metres; and
•
4m @ 4.27g/t Au in HRC541 from 127.0 metres.
In addition to the intercepts returned for the main
mineralised structure at Heron South, several holes
reported mineralised intercepts in nearby subsidiary
structures. A high-grade intercept in HRC542 (1m
@ 9.37g/t Au) at the southern end of Heron South
indicates that there is further potential to extend
the depth and strike length of gold mineralisation.
Importantly, mineralisation previously intersected in
the central part of the prospect remains open below
~350mRL. Based on these early results, further drilling
is planned in FY2018 to test the southern and depth
extensions to Heron South.

EXPLORATION
Wilsons Shear Zone
Along the Wilsons Shear Zone, six RC holes were
completed on five IP targets (TTRC416 - TTRC417
and TTRC420 - TTRC423) for a total of 1,272 drill
metres (Figure 6). All six holes intersected sulphide
mineralisation where predicted by the IP targeting.
However, the sulphide zones were typically located
within the Wilsons Dolerite and were dominated by
pyrite, whereas the high-grade gold mineralisation
at Wilsons is dominantly arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite rich
and located immediately below the eastern footwall
contact of the Wilsons Dolerite within the underlying
strongly sheared mafic sediments. While no significant
gold assays were returned from the sulphide zones
intersected, the drilling demonstrated the technical
effectiveness of the IP method in locating sulphide
mineralisation in this geological environment.
All remaining highly ranked Wilsons Shear Zone IP
targets will be tested as part of the FY2018 drill program
to test the twenty prospect areas shown in Figure 4.

DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
Background
Scoping-level studies for both free-milling and
refractory mineralisation were completed by
Panoramic Resources Limited between 2012 and 2016.
As a result of these studies, a significant body of data
and knowledge has been accumulated on the technical
and permitting aspects of the Project. The Company
will use these Scoping Studies as the basis for further
work on possible development options for the free
milling and refractory mineralisation at Gum Creek.
Strategy
The development strategy at Gum Creek is to:
•
Conduct optimisation studies on free milling material to identify areas for possible reductions in mining and
processing operating and capital costs;
•
Undertake further metallurgical test work to confirm the suitability of Wilsons refractory mineralisation to
treatment by a moderate temperature and pressure oxidation process; and
•
Develop and optimise a pressure oxidation flowsheet, ensure repeatability and scalability and determine
sufficient information for detailed design and costing.
Work Completed in FY2017
The Company engaged independent engineers to
provide a high-level cost estimate to refurbish the
existing 600,000tpa carbon and leach processing plant,
as a potentially low capital route to return Gum Creek
to production. Refurbishment costs were estimated
at between $15 million and $20 million. This compares
with the estimated cost of a new 800,000tpa CIL
processing plant (including three stages of crushing,
a single ball mill, gravity circuit, cyanide leach, elution
circuit and gold room) of $36 million, as reported by
Panoramic in March 2016.
The current phase of studies assessing a Wilsonsonly refractory operation using fine grinding and mild
pressure oxidation were completed in the June 2017
quarter. In-house capital and operating financial
modelling and an order-of-magnitude “Refractory
Processing Options Study” by GR Engineering Pty
Ltd were completed as part of these studies. The
modelling shows that despite competitive operating
costs, the Project’s production target derived from the
current Wilsons Mineral Resource is too small to justify
the upfront capital outlay at the current A$ spot gold
price.
As an alternative to on-site refractory processing, the
Company sought and received indicative terms for the
sale of a gold concentrate to a Chinese buyer. Sale of
a flotation concentrate has the benefit of lower capital
cost and less processing risk, due to the omission of
the refractory processing circuit. The study of this
alternative route-to-market will continue during
FY2018.
In FY2017, Horizon spent $2.4 million on exploration
and project evaluation related activities.
PAGE 11 | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT
PROPOSED FY2018 PROGRAMS
Exploration
The twenty prospect areas (Figure 7) identified
for follow-up drill testing form the basis of the
FY2018 Regional Exploration Program. The program
commenced in August 2017 and the following drilling
is planned:
•
6,000m of RC drilling; and
•
13,000m of aircore drilling.
Priority targets include:
•
Wilsons Shear Zone – twenty one RC holes for
2,800m to test eleven IP and MLEM targets
•
Psi Prospect – structurally controlled BIF-hosted
mineralisation, thirteen RC holes for 1,300m
(Figure 8)
•
“Mt Magnet” style targets - demagnetised BIF
targets with similar characteristics to Psi, seven
holes for 1,000m on four prospects

Development Studies
Given that exploration drilling is currently high priority
for Horizon, development studies will be scaled back
during FY2018 and consists of the following work
streams:
Free milling
•
Studies and testwork on heap leaching of freemilling mineralisation at Swan-Swift.
Refractory
•
Toll treatment/sale of a gold concentrate remains
an option and dialogue with potential customers
will be maintained.
Development studies will be ongoing throughout
FY2018. The Company continues to investigate the
technical and commercial viability of processing the
~700,000oz of free milling resources hosted within the
tenement package. Studies will focus on identifying the
lowest capital cost approach to returning the Project
to production, including existing plant refurbishment,
new plant construction and/or heap leach alternatives.
Toll treatment/sale of a gold concentrate remains an
option for the refractory resources and dialogue with
potential customers will be maintained. Stand-alone
refractory studies are currently on hold however these
could be recommenced should ongoing exploration
activities increase refractory mineral resources or the
A$ gold price rise.
PAGE 13 | 2017 ANNUAL REPORT
PIPELINE OF OPPORTUNITIES
Gum Creek provides an exciting gold exploration
and development opportunity. Our existing Mineral
Resource base of 1.25 million ounces of gold is located
within a well-endowed gold region that hosts multimillion ounce deposits. Horizon is well placed to
grow its existing resource base through a targeted
exploration approach which has already identified new
prospect areas in addition to potential extensions to
existing mineralisation. With a solid balance sheet,
Horizon is well placed to systematically test priority
targets for new mineralisation, look for extensions to
existing mineralisation and continue to study potential
development opportunities for both free-milling and
refractory mineralisation.
