30 April 2021

For the quarter ended 31 March 2021

Admiralty Resources NL (ASX: ADY) is pleased to report its activities for the March 2021 quarter.

Exploration and Quarterly Activities

Mariposa

During the quarter, the Company’s new project partner, Hainan Xinlei Mining Management Co Ltd (“Hainan”) began the tender process to procure mining equipment for the Mariposa project. The process to secure formal working visa applications for key mining personnel to be sent to work locally in Chile was also commenced.

Soberana

There was no activity during the quarter.

Subsequent to the quarter end however the Company was notified that Rocterra Limitada (Rocterra) (whom ADY has a royalty arrangement with over the Soberana project) had declared bankruptcy in Chile.

The Company has since engaged with the liquidator of Rocterra to reach a settlement and conclusion of their contractual obligations with Admiralty. The Company is confident of a favourable outcome after consultation with a local Chilean Attorney and will then be in a position to reclaim and pursue other commercial outcomes for the Soberana project.

Australian Projects

No activity to report during the quarter.

Corporate Activities

During the quarter, $14k was paid to directors of the Company in director fees, as noted in Item 6.1 of the 5B.

Admiralty in Chile

The Harper South district (“Harper South”) is the most advanced district in respect to exploration. To date, six targets have been confirmed as carriers of iron mineralisation: Mariposa, La Chulula, Soberana, Negrita, La Vaca and Mal Pelo.

  • § Mariposa has a JORC 2004 compliant resource of 174.5 Mt ( as per ASX announcement on 25/1/2013 ). An engineering mine plan (or Prefeasibility Study) for an initial production of one million tonnes of finished product per annum has been commissioned to Redco Mining Engineers.

  • § La Chulula . The Mineral Resource Estimate quantifies the resources at La Chulula at 96 Mt at 24% Fe for a 15% Fe cut-off in the inferred category. The La Chulula resource estimate is based on the results obtained from the reverse circulation and diamond drilling campaign completed in 2012

  • § Soberana has a JORC 2004 compliant resource of 90.2 Mt ( as per ASX announcement on 15/1/2013 ).

Pampa Tololo district - A high resolution ground magnetic survey carried out in 2011 identified three targets: Cochrane, O’Brien and Simpson. A reverse circulation drilling campaign of 3,311m took place at Simpson in July/August 2012. The results of this campaign are currently being evaluated by the Company.

El Cojin district - It is the least advanced of Admiralty’s projects in Chile, with the first piece of exploration work being a high-resolution ground magnetic survey carried out in 2012. The survey identified 5 targets in total with 3 of them showing great depth and high susceptibility.
