ASX Code: MCT 24 February 2016

Admiral Bay Zinc Project Resource Upgrade by 15%

• Admiral Bay confirmed as Australia’s largest zinc deposit at 111.3 Mt at 5.7% ZnEq

• Admiral Bay confirmed as one of the largest undeveloped zinc projects in the world

• Geological work on newly modelled zones supports Mineral Resource upgrade by 15%

• Additional Inferred Resources:

• SS6 area, 4.6 Mt at 7.6% ZnEq (4.6% Zn, 2.0% Pb, 27 g/t Ag)

• SS17 area, 1.4 Mt at 5.5% ZnEq (4.1% Zn, 0.8% Pb, 20 g/t Ag)

• Comprehensive lithostratigraphic and structural interpretation, re-logging all drill core, reprocessing 2D seismic data and compilation of a new geological model

• New geological model and Scoping Study on track for completion in March 2016.

Metalicity Limited ( ASX:MCT ) (“ MCT ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to report the completion of a Mineral Resource Estimate for the two extra zones announced on 17 December 2015 (“Significant new mineralised zones identified at Admiral Bay”). The new estimates are for two zones of significant zinc and lead mineralisation within the project area that have not previously had resources estimated. This work was completed as part of the development of a new geological model being undertaken for the 100% owned Admiral Bay Zinc Project, located in the northwest of Western Australia (Figure 1).

The extra resource zones increase the total project resource by 15%. Both of these new zones remain open along strike, and there is good potential to increase these resources with step out drilling. Furthermore, the new geological work suggests that a number of the sub-economic intersections away from the known resources along the Admiral Bay Fault zone may be “near misses” close to higher-grade mineralised zones rather than indicating low potential.

Past reporting of Admiral Bay resources has focused on zinc-rich zones. Although a lead-dominated zone, ‘Zone 3’, was reported, it was not emphasised in the general discussion of the total tonnes in the deposit. Recent geological work has confirmed the presence of Zone 3 lead-dominated mineralisation in the main deposit as well as in these two new areas. The proximity of Zone 3 to the other mineralised zones at Admiral Bay is such that it would be potentially economically extractable as part of a large integrated project. To enable the PFS mining work to address a full range of resource permutations at Admiral Bay, it is considered appropriate to include Zone 3 in the Admiral Bay Mineral Resources, classified as Inferred.

The Inferred Mineral Resource at Admiral Bay is now 111.3 Mt at 5.7% ZnEq[1] (2.3% Zn, 2.7% Pb, 15 g/t Ag) . The strike lengths of the resources and new zones are limited to 2.1 km for the main zone, 200 m for the SS6 zone and 200m for the SS17 zone, out of an 18 km drill-tested mineralised corridor within a 55 km prospective corridor along the Admiral Bay Fault Zone (as announced by PLD on 25/11/2014). Details of the resource estimation are provided below.

The Company is working through a program of comprehensive structural interpretation, re-logging of all drill core and re-processing of 2D seismic data, with teams recently on site at Admiral Bay re-logging both the mineralised and non-mineralised drill core. Integration of the geological and geophysical work will result in the creation of a new 3D geological model.

This model will enhance the understanding of the mineralisation, its continuity and controls, and will be used to identify discrete drill targets with the potential to further upgrade the MRE in both size and classification. This work is being undertaken by industry leading consultants and is due for completion as part of the Scoping Study in March 2016.

Admiral Bay is a carbonate-hosted zinc-lead-silver deposit and classified as a Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposit. The deposit, however, does not demonstrate all the characteristics of a typical MVT, notably having greater continuity of stratabound mineralisation, providing further support for the potential of additional resources extending and linking the existing resources in the project area.

Commenting on the MRE Upgrade Managing Director Matt Gauci said:

“The MRE upgrade confirms Admiral Bay as Australia’s largest undeveloped zinc deposit and the world’s 5[th] largest undeveloped zinc deposit. The new geological model in particular is a critical step in understanding the high-grade zones that occur within the system so they may be targeted for future drilling and resource upgrades. The scale of already 5.25 Mt contained zinc from only 2.1 km of an 18 km mineralised corridor, and location in the world class jurisdiction of West Australia, ensures Admiral Bay is of significant interest to the base metals industry, and discussions are ongoing with potential partners.”

New Geological Model

The geological model being compiled is an innovative and modern approach to assessing the Admiral Bay deposit, and consists of the acquisition, compilation and interpretation of data previously unavailable and evaluated for the first time by experts with substantial experience in MVT systems. The process involves:

• Structural, lithofacies and mineralisation interpretation based on re-logging drill core and integration of all data dating back to 1981

• Re-processing historical 2D seismic data to optimises 3D modelling of the horizons that host mineralisation and confirm continuity from drill hole to drill hole

• Re-assess the current resource estimate using all available data including seismic data

• Assess potential for 3D seismic to image structures and mineralisation and provide discrete drill targets

This will result in the compilation of a maiden 3D Geological Model to enhance the understanding of the mineralisation, its continuity and generate discrete drill targets. This work has also identified significant thick higher-grade zones of zinc and lead mineralisation within the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

Mineral Resource Additions

Following re-logging and interpretation of the main Admiral Bay deposit, the mineralisation in the SS6 zone and in SS17 was re-interpreted using the same criteria as used in the main area. This re-interpretation was then used to create wireframes for these two zones, and resource estimation was undertaken using the same approach as in the main deposit.

A summary of the information and methodology of the resource estimation is as follows:

Drilling techniques

The deposit was sampled using diamond core drilling (DD) over several drilling campaigns undertaken by CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (CRAE) and Kagara Ltd. Five CRAE surface diamond drill holes were used for the resource estimation of these additional zones; four in the SS6 zone and the single intersection of SS17. All drill holes were vertical. Mud rotary pre-collars were used to drill the cover sequence and manage zones of artesian water and gas kicks. CRAE holes were predominantly NQ is size, with limited HQ core.

Sampling and Sub-sampling techniques

The entire length of the drill core was sampled; for CRAE core half core was sampled. The core was routinely sampled on 1 m intervals, with a minimum interval of 0.25 m. Sample sizes are considered appropriate to

accurately represent the mineralisation at Admiral Bay based on the thickness and consistency of the intersections, the sampling methodology, and the percent value assay ranges for the primary elements.

The mud rotary pre-collars were collected as 10 m composite samples by the contract mud loggers. These samples were not analysed.

Geological Interpretation

Drill-hole data spacing is variable. The SS6 section comprises four holes averaging 200 m apart. SS17 is a single drill-hole intersection.

The zones are currently interpreted to be coincident with a bioherm associated with the Admiral Bay Fault Zone (ABFZ). Mineralisation appears to be relatively continuous along the axis of the bioherm, but lower grade and less well developed on its flanks. However, the flank areas are poorly defined or tested by drilling.

While mineralisation trend continuity appears to be predictable, grade continuity within the mineralised zones remains relatively uncertain for some of the defined zones and is not adequately defined or constrained by the current drill hole spacing.

Drill-hole intercept logging, wireline interpretation, and assay results have formed the basis for the geological interpretation. The precise limits and geometry cannot be absolutely defined due to the limitations of the current drill coverage. Further work is required to better define the geometry and limits of the mineralised zones. The grade and lithological interpretation forms the basis for the modelling.

Sample Analysis Methods

CRAE samples were processed by Analabs and a four acid digest with AAS finish for Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Ag, Ca, Mg; pressed powder XRF for Ba, Sr; and Fusion/Specific ion electrode) for F. A total of 224 samples for SS17 zone and 1,078 samples for SS6 zone were analysed for Zn and Pb.

Wireline logging data including gamma, calliper, density, neutron, resistivity, SP, temperature, sonic and magnetic deviation was collected from all drill holes.

Estimation Methodology

Four individual mineralised envelopes for each zone were interpreted based on the drill-hole sample data using approximate 1.5-2% Zn and/or Pb cut-offs to define coherent zones of sulphide mineralisation.

SS6 and SS17 zones were interpreted using one cross-section for each zone. Each section was displayed in Micromine’s Vizex display environment together with drill-hole traces colour-coded according to the sample grades and sample grade values.

The following techniques were employed while interpreting the mineralisation:

• All interpreted strings were snapped to the corresponding drill-hole intervals, i.e. the interpretation was constrained in the 3rd dimension

• The mineralised zones were extended approximately 100m from the drill-hole section to both sides resulting in 200m length along strike

• The interpretation along dip direction was extended 50m from the peripheral drill holes on a section and 100m from the internal drill holes.

The thickness of the mineralised envelopes varies from 3m to 14m for the SS6 zone and from 3m to 29m for the SS17 zone. The mineralised zones extend from a depth of 1,315 m to a depth of 1,570m below the surface.

==> picture [164 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

All Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag, and Ba variables estimated in the Admiral Bay resource model mineralised zones were generated using Inverse Distance (ID) using a power of 2. The ID estimates have been completed using Micromine software. Block discretisation of 2x2x2 points (for X x Y x Z respectively) was used for block estimation. Composite length and bulk density weighting was used in the estimation process.

The block model was constructed using a 25mE x 25mN x 5mRL parent block size, with subcelling to 6.25mE x 6.25mN x 1.25mRL for domain volume resolution. The parent cell size was chosen on the basis of the general morphology of mineralised bodies and in order to avoid the generation of too-large block models. The subcelling size was chosen to maintain the resolution of the mineralised bodies.

A two-pass estimation strategy was applied for all variables estimated (Zn, Pu, Cu, Ag, Sr, and Ba), with progressively expanded sample searches applied to successive estimation passes only considering blocks not previously assigned. First pass searches used an anisotropic range of 600m x 300m x 300m with major axis oriented horizontally along strike. If a block was not estimated in the first pass, a second pass search utilised a maximum range of 1200m x 600m x 600m.

The use of similar search radii for the semi-major and minor axis orientations considered the narrow zones being modelled, the variable orientations and curvature of the zones, and erratic distribution of data within the mineralised zones.

The maximum number of composites used for any estimate was restricted to 20 composites for all estimated variables. The minimum number of composites used for any first pass estimate was 10 composites for all estimated variables. The minimum number of composites used for any second pass estimate was two composites for all estimated variables.

All mineralised zone divisions were treated as hard boundaries for data and parameters used in the estimation process.

The block model size was selected largely as a compromise for adequate volume definition of the narrow mineralised zones in an underground mining scenario.

Classification Criteria

The Inferred Mineral Resource classification is based on the evidence from the available drill sampling and seismic interpretation. This evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade continuity.

Cut-off Grades

Four individual mineralised zones were interpreted based on the drill-hole sample data using approximate 1.5–2% Zn and/or Pb cut-offs to define coherent zones of sulphide mineralisation. The resource was reported using a Zinc Equivalent lower cut-off grade of 2%.

Metal Equivalence

Zinc equivalent (ZnEq) calculation parameters are presented in Table 1. The metallurgical recoveries are derived from metallurgical testwork completed by CRAE and Kagara. It is Metalicity’s opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. The calculation formula is ZnEq=Zn+1.06Pb+0.03Ag

Metal equivalents are highly dependent on the metal prices used to derive the equivalence formula. Metalicity notes that the metal equivalence method taken above is a simplified approach. Only preliminary metallurgical recoveries are available. The metal prices are assumed indicative LME prices and do not reflect the metal prices that a smelter would pay for concentrate nor are any smelter penalties or charges included in the calculation.

• Unconstrained and using ROUNDED figures

• Past reporting of the Admiral Bay Mineral Resources (e.g. PLD ASX release of 25/11/2014, Kagara release of 22/8/2008) included all the zones of the Central resource reported in this release, but chose to emphasise resources that excluded Zone 3. As discussed above, the proximity of Zone 3 to the other mineralised zones in most areas justifies their classification as Inferred Resources and consideration in the mining studies as part of the current Admiral Bay Scoping Study.

• The 2008 and 2014 Mineral Resource reports used a slightly different formula to calculate ZnEq compared with this report.

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources

Criteria	JORC Code explanation Commentary
Database integrity	Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimationpurposes. • Data used in the Mineral Resource estimate of SS6 and SS17 zones was provided in the CSV format and imported into Micromine software.
	Data validation procedures used. • Database information was validated against previous data supplied for Admiral Bay, imported and desurveyed. Validation of the data import include checks for overlapping intervals, missing survey data, missing and incorrectly recorded assay data, missing lithological data, and missingcollars.
Site visits	Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits. • The Competent Person Neal Reynols has visited the site to investigate the core material from previous drilling campaigns. • Also a CSA geologist was present in 1988 during drilling and seismic acquisition activities byCRAE
	If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case. • CSA Global conducted a desktop review on the basis of the reports prepared by Digirock, Coffey, Kagara, RSV Australia. Currently, no exploration and drilling activities are being carried out at the deposit to be observed.
Geological interpretation	Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. • The zones are currently interpreted to be coincident with an antiformal structure associated with the Admiral Bay Fault Zone (ABFZ). Mineralisation appears to be relatively continuous along the strike of the anticline, but lower grade / less well developed on the limbs. However, the limbs areas are poorly defined or tested by drilling. • While structural continuity appears to be predictable, grade continuity within the mineralised zones remains relatively uncertain for some of the defined zones and is not adequately defined / constrained by the current drillhole spacing. • 224 samples for SS17 zone and 1,078 samples for SS6 zone were analysed for Zn, Pb, Ag and Ba.

	The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. • Drill hole intercept logging, wireline interpretation and assay results form the basis for the modelling. Coffey Mining developed a geological and mineralisation framework suitable for grade estimation based on a review of the availablegeological andgeochemical data.

Dimensions	The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. • Four individual mineralised envelopes in each zone were interpreted based on the drillhole sample data using approximate 1.5-2% Zn and/or Pub cut-offs to define coherent zones of sulphide mineralisation. • The mineralised zones were extended approximately 100 m from the drill hole section to both sides resulting in 200 m length along strike. • The interpretation along dip direction was extended 50m from the peripheral drill holes on a section and 100m from the internal drill holes. • The thickness of the mineralised envelopes varies from 3m to 14m for SS6 zone and from 3m to 29m for SS17 zone. The mineralised zones extend from the depth of 1,315 m to the depth of 1,570m below the surface.

The parent cell size was chosen on the basis of the general morphology of mineralised bodies and in order to avoid the generation of too large block models. The subcelling size was chosen to maintain the resolution of the mineralised bodies. • For all variables estimated (Zn, Pb, Ag, and Ba), a two-pass estimation strategy has been applied, with progressively expanded sample searches applied to successive estimation passes only considering blocks not previously assigned. o First pass searches used an anisotropic range of 600x300x300 metres with major axis oriented horizontally along strike o If a block was not estimated in the first pass, a second pass search utilised a maximum range of 1200x600x600 metres. • The use of similar search radii for the semi-major and minor axis orientations considered the narrow structures being modelled, the variable orientations and curvature of the structures, and erratic distribution of data within the mineralised zones.

	Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (i.e. relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data). • The Inferred classification has taken into account all available geological and sampling information, and the classification level is considered appropriate for the current stage of this project.
	Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit. • The Mineral Resource estimate appropriately reflects the view of the Competent Person
Audits or reviews	The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates. • CSA completed an internal audit of the Resource model.
Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence	Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate. • The relative accuracy of the Mineral Resource estimate is reflected in the reporting of the Mineral Resource to an Inferred classification as per the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code
	The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used. • The statement refers to global estimation of tonnes and grade
	These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared withproduction data, where available. • No production data is available; this is an advanced exploration project
