ASX RELEASE: 26 February 2019

THREE ADDITIONAL PROJECT APPLICATIONS MADE IN PATERSON BELT

Target generation work identifies three Cu-Ni-Au-PGM Projects within the Paterson Belt

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Three new Project Area Applications made over highly prospective ground for Ni-Cu-Au and possible PGM mineralisation in the Paterson Province

  • Warburton: Priority One Target - A large sediment-hosted or sedimentary-exhalative Cu horizon spanning ~80 km within the Bentley sub group;

  • Paterson South: Several strong discrete magnetic anomalies coincident with a basement highs and gravity ridges;

  • Pandora: A large cluster of magnetic highs on the northern side of a major crustal-scale gravity ridge with known local Ni-Cu-PGE-Au mineralisation

Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“ MCT ” or “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that following a full review of the entire Paterson Province of the Pilbara region in Western Australia, the Company has significantly expanded its footprint with a further three Project Area Applications made.

The Company’s consultants Corporate Geoscience Group and Fathom Geophysics, applied advanced filtering and algorithm-driven structural modelling to acquired geophysical data sets. This is the same technique applied to the Mandora and Desert Queen Projects, to the southern extents of the Paterson Orogen extending to the Musgrave Complex.

The results of this exercise produced three highly prospective areas of which Metalicity has moved to acquire through the application of seven Exploration Licenses totaling an additional ~3,000km[2] within the emerging Cu-Au-Ni Paterson Province. Details of each of the areas are as follows:

Warburton:

The Warburton Project is described as a large sediment-hosted or sedimentary-exhalative Cu horizon spanning approximately 80 km within the Bentley sub group. Our prospectivity analysis of the entire Paterson Province highlighted this horizon as our priority one target. Therefore, the Company moved to acquire approximately 1,200km[2] of this highly prospective area as detailed in the table below:

Previous exploration within the Warburton area extends back to the 1960’s with a major exploration campaign conducted by WMC from 1966 to 1971. During this time, WMC identified some 200 copper mineral occurrences and geochemically anomalous soils over a significant strike length, hosted in a range of midProterozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Bentley Subgroup. Subsequent operators have only conducted interpretative work with the exception being Rubicon Resources who held the ground from 2008 to 2012 where a range of exploratory methods were utilised including the drill testing of several targets.

The Company believes with modern geophysical and geochemical methods available today, coupled with the post data collection processing capabilities on offer and examples of cropped out mineralisation within the project area (detailed above), the Warburton Project offers a unique opportunity to refine and add to the datasets collected to date to generate highly prospective drill targets with a high probability of exploration success.

Paterson South:

The Paterson South Project has several strong discrete magnetic anomalies coincident with basement highs and gravity ridges. These coincident geophysical anomalies are analogous to Greatland Gold’s Haverion Prospect (Greatland Gold’s website - https://greatlandgold.com/paterson/ and announcement “Haverion Project – Drilling Update”: https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/greatland_gold/news/rns/story/xomy92r). Given the similarities to known mineralisation and the strong correlation of these coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies, Metalicity expanded our footprint in this locality with an additional ~1,200km[2] of exploration tenure.

Pandora:

The Pandora Project is described as a large cluster of magnetic highs on the northern side of a major crustalscale gravity ridge with known local Ni-Cu-PGE-Au mineralisation (Pandora prospect). The geophysical signatures also suggest potential for IOCG Cu-Au systems.

Notably, the Pandora Prospect was first drilled by Cassini Resources and their findings detailed in their ASX announcement dated 12 September 2013, “ Final Drill assays confirm prospectivity of West Musgrave Project” - https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20130912/pdf/42jb46hn39q140.pdf.

Their drilling noted highly anomalous copper and nickel results. Whilst sub-economic grades were returned, the Company believes, given our interrogation of the available datasets, that the work carried out was not optimised for the target styles and a more relevant work program needs to be adopted.

Metalicity General Manager – Exploration & Development, Jason Livingstone commented:

“The exceptional, high quality public data on offer provided the Company with an opportunity to interrogate the entire strike length of the Paterson Province. From this work, we identified numerous targets based on the filtering and machine learning techniques previously developed whereby known mineral occurrence signatures were defined and looked for elsewhere. These three projects represent highly prospective ground for Ni-Cu-Au with possible PGM mineralisation. We are excited to be able to present these recent acquisitions, totaling approximately 3,000km[2] , to our shareholders and look forward to working with the communities upon grant of this tenure.”
