ASX Release

17 November 2021

BEKISOPA DRILLING CAMPAIGN COMPLETED SIGNIFICANT IRON MINERALISATION CONTINUES AT DEPTH

AKORA Resources (“AKORA” or “the Company”) (ASX Code: AKO) is pleased to report to shareholders that the 2021 drilling campaign was completed on 13[th] November 2021. In total 5,110 metres of drilling have been completed since mid-June and a total of 1,027 meters in the last six drill holes, confirming multiple and extensive iron mineralisation is present. In total 51 diamond drill holes have been completed over 2021.

Highlights:

51 drill holes for 5,110 metres drilled in the 2021 drilling campaign with 63 drill holes for 6,200 metres completed over 2020 and 2021.

  • 17 drill holes over 100m deep, downhole

  • Last six drill holes*, BEKD58 to BEKD63 in the south, suggest significant thicknesses of iron mineralisation in this area as these holes ended after passing through iron mineralisation at good depths

BEKD61 ended at 204.33 metres BEKD58 ended at 172.85 metres BEKD59 ended at 186.34 metres

  • Volume of data collected and to be validated along with continuing Covid-impact on logistics from Madagascar (via Europe) to Australia will result in a delay to release of JORC Resource

Bekisopa 2021 Drilling Campaign Completed

Drilling at AKORA’s flagship Bekisopa prospect was completed on the 13[th] of November almost five months after drilling started in June. The drilling program has been an outstanding success, with assays received to date confirming excellent iron grades near surface and drill logging plus magnetic susceptibility readings identifying good iron mineralisation at depth (see ASX releases 20 July, 17 August, 14 September, 23 September, 19 October, 3 November and 9 November 2021).

The 2021 drilling campaign was expanded from the initial 4000m to around 5000m as the drilling continued to intercept iron mineralisation at surface and at depth along the six-kilometre strike length. The decision to extend the drilling was to maximise the benefit from the costs of mobilising the camp, setting up for drilling, geological logging and associated facilities, and increase the probability that the drilling along and across the six-kilometre strike length could lead to a significant maiden JORC Resource estimation. The additional drilling and analytical work have accelerated the proposed 2022 work programme.

The drilling campaign highlights have been many and completing the mobilisation and drilling continuously over five months without a safety incident and only one day lost for mechanical issues is an excellent outcome. The quality of the drilling with drill hole recoveries averaging 97% and the last 6 holes averaging 99% recovery, indicate good drilling practices and we have been very pleased with the teams we work with in Madagascar.

The drilling team and equipment will be demobilised in the coming days. This will enable the completion of the logging and DGPS pick-up of the drill holes. The extension of the drilling programme and the number of deep drill holes intercepting iron mineralisation, has resulted in a significant increase in related geological logging, magnetic susceptibility measurements and drill core splitting to be completed at site before the samples can be transported to Antananarivo for sample preparation. It is expected that the geological team will be at site until around 25 November to complete the logging of the last drill holes, approximately 1,027 metres of drill core from the last six drill holes remaining to be processed. A significant proportion of those metres being iron mineralisation observed in initial drilling reports. This observed iron mineralisation will require confirmation through geological logging and magnetic susceptibility measurements.

AKORA Resources Managing Director Paul Bibby commented on the Bekisopa Resource drilling campaign:

“I have to say that in all my experience in iron ore exploration and development I have never been more excited with a project as I have become with Bekisopa. The grades, the depth, the extent, the quality of the iron mineralization and how readily upgradable the iron looks to be, has all been even better than what I anticipated.

During one of the most trying periods in decades, we have completed an extensive and hugely successful campaign of drilling discovery and now, with the amount and analysis of the data, I’m confident that AKORA will deliver a good maiden JORC Resource. I must make mention of the Madagascar teams we’ve been working with on site and commend them on their professional attention and the excellent work carried out. I’m looking forward to delivering a very successful year ahead to all AKORA shareholders in 2022.”

Conclusion

The 2021 drilling campaign has been completed successfully, with excellent drilling intercepts, down to 250 metres downhole (approximately 200m below surface) and with downhole width of up to 138 metres (see ASX Announcement 9 November 2021). There have been outstanding very high-grade assay results already reported and significant intercepts, at surface, of 8.2m at 68.2%Fe and 4.5m at 65.5%Fe which is potentially DSO quality.

Due to the extensive body of iron mineralisation being defined through the drilling campaign, particularly in the past months of deep drilling, there is now a substantial backlog of geological logging, magnetic susceptibility measurements, photographing of the drill core and drill core splitting to be completed at the Bekisopa site.

Due to the volume of data collected during the drill campaign, combined with delays during the height of the Covid pandemic affecting logistics from Madagascar into Europe and then to Australia means that despite all efforts the Bekisopa JORC Resource is unlikely to be completed by the end of this year. The board of directors has considered the current schedule and taking into account the Christmas/New Year period, the Company is now expecting the JORC Resource will be released during the first quarter of 2022.

of mineralisation.

The tenure was acquired by AKO during 2014 and work since then has consisted of:
o
Data compilation and interpretation;
o
Confirmatory rock chip sampling (118 samples) and mapping;
o
Re-interpretation of airborne geophysical data;
o
Ground magnetic surveying (305-line kilometres);
o
The 2020 drilling programme of 1095.5m diamond core drilling in 12 drill-holes.
o
The current programme that to date includes 5,110 in 51 drillholes (BEKD13 to 63)

The recent drilling has shown that the surface mineralisation continues at depth, with at most a
25% increase in grade due to weathering effects. However, it should be noted that some
downslope creep of scree from these units may exaggerate apparent width at surface.

The mineralisation occurs as a series of magnetite bearing gneisses and calc-silicates that occur
as zones between 50m and 150m combined true width.

The mineralisation occurs as layers of massive magnetite (sometimes altered to hematite)
between 1m and 7m true width plus a lower grade zone that consists of lenses, stringers,
boudins and blebs of magnetite aggregates that vary from 1cm to 10’s of cm wide within a calc-
silicate/gneiss unit (informally termed “coarse disseminated” here). These units sometimes have
an outer halo of finer disseminated magnetite (informally termed “disseminated” here).

This wide mineralisation halo provides a large tonnage potential over the 6-7km strike of mapped
mineralisation and associated magnetic anomaly within the Akora tenement.

The bands and blebs of massive magnetite aggregates along with preliminary LIMS testwork
suggest that a good iron product may be obtained using a simple crush to -2mm followed by
magnetic separation.
