Completion of the acquisition of lithium exploration portfolio covering 579km[2] in the Pilbara Region, WA. Includes highly prospective Lynas Find North Lithium Project adjoining the Pilgangoora deposits to the north Exploration has commenced to define drill targets within a 10km X 4km area of lithium bearing pegmatites Expands the Company’s landholding in the world class Wodgina/Pilgangoora District to 790km2 Deal includes cash, shares and options

Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce it has completed the acquisition of a highly prospective lithium exploration portfolio (“Portfolio”) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia from Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (ASX:FMG), including the highly prospective Lynas Find North Lithium Project (“Project”).

The Project comprises three granted tenements (E45/4148, E45/4356, and E45/4227) covering 51km[2] over the northern extension of the highly prospective Pilgangoora Greenstone Belt. The Lynas Find North Lithium Project is located 8km along strike from Pilbara Minerals’ Pilgangoora lithium deposit and also its Lynas Find Lithium project (7.3Mt at 1.25% Li2O). Pilbara Minerals recently signed an off-take agreement for its Lynas Find Lithium project with Shandong Ruifu Lithium for the supply of 1.9Mt of Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) grading 1.5% Li2O (lithia). The agreement contemplates the supply of 100,000t of DSO per month over 19 months and includes a US$10M pre-payment.

Lithium bearing pegmatites have been identified within the Project, but no systematic exploration has been undertaken over what is considered a highly prospective continuation of the greenstone belt measuring 10km by 4km. High grade intercepts including 21m at 2.64% have been recorded 500m south of the newly acquired tenement (ASX: DKO 3 May 3016: 16LC008 21m @2.64% Li2O).

The proximity and geological similarity of Pilbara Minerals high-grade Lynas Find spodumene deposit 500m south of the newly acquired tenement, is currently being reviewed with exploration underway to define drill targets, with drilling anticipated to commence during the march Quarter 2017. Evaluation of the extensive tenement areas within the remainder of the portfolio is also underway with initial targeting work to be shortly followed up by field reconnaissance and sampling.

Managing Director, Matt Gauci, commented:

“Metalicity is excited to have expanded its footprint and exploration activities within the world class Wodgina/Pilgangoora district. Our exploration activities in the region are quickly gathering momentum with drilling complete at Stannum, drilling planned at Turner River and now Lynas Find North.”

Other Projects:

The Murphy’s Gap project comprises three tenements, covering an area of 74km[2] over the highly prospective Mount Edgar Igneous Complex. It includes a number of lithium bearing pegmatites with grades up to 1,600 ppm Li2O and 126 ppm Ta2O5.

The Cookes Creek project is located 5km from the Blue Bar lithium prospect within the Mount Elsie Greenstone Belt. The project comprises four tenements which cover an area of 131km[2] around the margins of tungsten bearing fractionated granites in the Pilbara Craton, often associated with lithium-bearing pegmatites.

The Farrell Well project comprises 10 tenements over an area of 323km[2] and covers 29km strike length of the highly prospective Lalla Rookh-West Shaw Structural Corridor (LWSC) within the Warralong Greenstone Belt. Regional structural corridors which intersect greenstone belts within the Pilbara Craton provide a fundamental control on lithium bearing pegmatites.

Terms of the Agreement:

• A $250,000 cash payment upon completion of formal agreement and transfer of tenements.

• 5m Fully Paid Ordinary Shares in Metalicity upon completion of formal sale and purchase agreement and transfer of tenements to Metalicity Energy Pty Ltd.

• 5m Unlisted Options exercisable at 8c in Metallicity Ltd upon completion of formal sale and purchase agreement and transfer of tenements to Metalicity Energy Pty Ltd.

• Payment of 10m Fully Paid Ordinary Shares upon the definition of a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of a minimum 20Mt @ 1% Li2O across any of the projects.
