ASX RELEASE: 23 May 2019

KOOKYNIE EXPLORATION TARGET DEMONSTRATES POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH-QUALITY GOLD PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • An Exploration Target has been defined for the Kookynie Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia.

  • Exploration Target was estimated using data from historical pre-JORC 2012 mineral resource estimates, historical production and historical drilling results.

  • Initial drill programme will identify mineralisation extents and lead to further drilling to define mineral resources over the coming 12 months.

  • Exploration Target provides an estimate of potential to be tested by drilling.

  • Since entering into the farm-in agreement with Nex Metals Explorations Ltd, Metalicity has:

  • Completed detailed assessment of past exploration to facilitate stating the Exploration Target;

  • Commenced on-ground exploration; and

  • Prepared for upcoming drilling campaign.

Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“ MCT ” or “ Company ”) is pleased to announce a JORC 2012 Code compliant Exploration Target for the Kookynie Project in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia.

The Exploration Target – as detailed in Table 1 below – was estimated in accordance with JORC 2012 guidelines utilising data from historical work, including the review of pre-JORC 2012 mineral resource estimates, historical production and drilling results.

  • (1) “ Exploration Target ” cautionary statement: The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, given that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Based on the above tabulation the Kookynie Gold Project has a total Exploration Target of between 230,000 ounces and 510,000 ounces and is exclusive of historically stated mineral resource estimates.

Metalicity Limited ASX Code: MCT ABN: 92 086 839 992

Since entering into the farm-in agreement with Nex Metals Explorations Ltd (ASX: NME) (“ Nex ”) (refer to ASX announcement dated 6[th] May 2019), Metalicity has completed:

  • Detailed assessment of past exploration to facilitate stating the Exploration Target;

  • Commenced on-ground exploration; and

  • Prepared for drilling campaign.

The Kookynie Project is host to six, significant prospects; Champion, McTavish, Leipold, Diamantina, Cosmopolitan and Cumberland. Each has been assessed in the preparation of the Exploration Target based on an in-depth review of the existing data of historical production and exploration efforts.

At Cosmopolitan, the mineralisation is extrapolated some 150 meters to 200 meters down dip from historic workings to estimate the Exploration Target. No mineralisation is assumed within the area of historic workings. The upper end grade is estimated to be the historic mined grade.

At Diamantina and Cumberland, mineralisation is extrapolated up to 250 meters to 350 meters down dip and 500 meters along strike. The maximum grade is assumed to be the historically mined grade of Cosmopolitan as the Diamantina and Cumberland are strike continuations of that mineralisation.

At Champion, McTavish and Leipold, the mineralisation is extrapolated between 100 meters to 120 meters down dip and along strike. The upper grade is assumed to be between 4 g/t Au and 6 g/t Au based on averages of significant drill hole intersections within the structures hosting mineralisation.

Figure 1 – Kookynie Prospect Locality Map.

The first phase of exploration at Kookynie will focus on defining and extending known mineralisation rather than early stage exploration to find prospects. The Company believes stating Exploration Targets in accordance with JORC 2012 guidelines will provide the market an insight on what exploration at Kookynie may produce. The Company’s intention is to scope out the extents of the mineralisation then define mineralisation quality at these prospects prior to conducting formal resource estimates.

For the Yundamindra Gold Project, further assessment of the controls on mineralisation is required prior to stating Exploration Targets and detail exact drilling targets. To ensure that future programmes are effective, the mapping currently being implemented will allow the Company to understand the controls on mineralisation at the prolific Yundamindra Gold Project.

Commenting on the Exploration Targets, Metalicity CEO Mat Longworth said: “The Kookynie Gold Project presents an opportunity to define high quality ounces in a short period of time. Having access to a wealth of historical work including mineral resource estimates, historical production and drilling results has greatly assisted Metalicity to quickly estimate an Exploration Target of between 230,000 ounces and 510,000 ounces.

“We are also buoyed by the fact that all Prospects at Kookynie are open along strike and down dip which bodes well for MCT to define and extend resources with our upcoming drilling campaign. We are excited to be progressing with this project and look forward to delivering further exciting news flow in the near term.”

Planned Drilling

The Metalicity drilling programme will involve between 1,000 meters to 1,500 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, and 800 meters to 1,200 meters of diamond core (DD) drilling to confirm the mineralisation. The actual number of holes drilled and the final metres drilled may vary based on geology and exploration results as the drilling programmes progress. Drilling is scheduled to commence in late June and take several months to complete.

However, the Company sees the result of fulfilling the farm-in agreement spend of $5 million may result in the Exploration Target being reported as a mineral resource estimate at suitable classifications amenable to making economic decisions via appropriate studies at the time.

Estimation of the Exploration Target

The Company’s stated Exploration Target for Kookynie of 230,000 to 510,000 ounces is a realistic outcome from targeted and results driven exploration. Ongoing drilling will be dictated by results.

The estimated Exploration Target is based on reviewing the historical work, including the review of pre-JORC (2012) mineral resource estimates estimated by current and historical operators (which contributed towards the evaluation of the Prospects, but not towards the Exploration Target ranges), historical production and drilling results. Mineralisation is open down dip and along strike at all prospects within the Kookynie Project and provides the opportunity for further expansion of drill programmes to define the resource potential.

Table 4 – Nex Metals Exploration Ltd Mineral Resource Estimate Summary.

The mineral resource estimates above were reported prior to the release of JORC 2012. Quality control/assurance (QAQC) and whole rock density determinations of both mineralisation and waste need qualifying to ensure a best practice mineral resource estimate can be performed moving forward. The initial drilling programme is designed to address part of those aspects, but infill and further extensional drilling will be required to ensure a robust estimation. Note - the Exploration Targets are exclusive of prior resource estimates, but the information derived from the historical mineral resource estimates were used in the determination of the stated Exploration Targets.

Table 5 – Nex Metals Exploration Ltd Mineral Resource Estimate Summary.

Forward plan

The Company will be rolling out an exploration programme with a modern methodical approach across both the Kookynie and Yundamindra Projects to define ounces.

The key exploration focus is the expansion and confirmation of existing mineralisation, especially at depth, as most of the current drilling is less than 50 metres at all prospects. The unique granite and intrusive related mineralisation identified at both Yundamindra and Kookynie provide a focus on this previously poorly understood mineralisation styles.

The Company senior management has decades of experience exploring for gold in the Eastern Goldfields and will apply state of the art mineralisation models and techniques alongside rigorous drill testing.

•The Project area covers a belt of gold mineralisation occurring
along the margin of a regional hornblende granodiorite pluton
intrusive to mafic rocks, largely metabasalts of Association 2 in
the Murrin-Margaret sector of the Eastern Goldfields. The
mineralised contact area between granitoid and mafic rocks is
arcuate in shape and is subdivided on geographic locations into
the “Western” and “Eastern” lines:
•The Western Line consists of a NNW trending zone of generally
continuous, east dipping quartz reefs and quartz filled shears in
granitoid near the contact between a large hornblende
granodiorite pluton and a thin, remnant greenstone succession.
•The Eastern Line encompasses the eastern portion of the arcuate
granodiorite/greenstone contact. The greenstones here are
poorly exposed and the high-Mg basalt, in turn intruded by
doleritic and porphyritic felsic dykes. The greenstone succession
is several kilometres in thickness. It’s eastern margin forms a
fault bounded contact with rocks of the regionally significant,
southerly plunging Eucalyptus Anticline. The western margin of
the Eastern Line exhibits sharp to gradational assimilated
contactswith hornblende granodiorite. Mineralisationalong the
