ASX RELEASE: 13 December 2021

Widest Intersection to Date at Kookynie as Champion & McTavish Continue to Deliver Strong Gold Results

RC Drilling Results

  • RC Drilling results for the Champion Prospect at the Kookynie Gold Project[1] have returned significant widths and high-grade intercepts including:

  • CPRC0041 - 28 metres @ 1.83 g/t Au from 72 metres (thickest intercept to date at Kookynie and are estimated to be close to true width);

  • CPRC0040 - 4 metres @ 3.97 g/t Au from 59 metres; and

  • CPRC0042 - 3 metres @ 1.89 g/t Au from 78 metres.

  • Final assays from recent RC drilling at the McTavish Prospect have returned consistent grades over good widths close to surface, including:

  • MCTRC0065 - 3 metres @ 4.06 g/t Au from 36 metres; and

  • MCTRC0066 - 1 metre @ 9.93 g/t Au from 60 metres.

  • Diamond core drilling is progressing well at McTavish with two diamond tails completed as part of our Mineral Resource Estimation work. Assays are pending for all diamond holes.

  • The Company also recently announced that the offer for NME is now unconditional, and encourages all NME shareholders to accept the Offer ahead of the Closing Date (unless extended) of 5:00pm (Perth time) on 15 December 2021.[2]

Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the gold results from the Champion and McTavish Prospects at the Kookynie Gold Project[1] in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, approximately 60 kilometres south southwest of Leonora.

1Please refer to ASX Announcement “Metalicity Achieves Earn-In On The Kookynie & Yundamindra Gold Projects” dated 20th May 2021 with Nex Metals Explorations Ltd, ASX:NME. As reported on 20 May 2021, Metalicity now has a 51% and controlling interest in both the Kookynie & Yundamindra Gold projects.

2Please refer to ASX Announcement “ Metalicity Bid for Nex Metals Now Unconditional” dated 3 December 2021.

Commenting on the drilling results, Metalicity CEO, Justin Barton said:

“These results confirm what we have always believed with these Prospects. With the diamond core progressing well, coupled with these results, we expect all of this to reflect positively on the Mineral Resource Estimate currently underway. Our technical team has done an incredible job of simply getting on with the task at hand under the direction of the Metalicity Board and we continue to deliver and demonstrate our credentials in creating value, value which we believed would be best realised under one entity. We therefore encourage all NME shareholders to accept the offer ahead of the closing date to help to further unlock this potential”

Champion Assay Results

The results illustrated in Figure 1 and Table 1 continue to define and expand the mineralisation observed at Champion, which given the nature of the mineralisation and the drilling angle, show that drillhole assay results are very close to true widths for the mineralisation observed. These are very encouraging results at Champion,

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

www.metalicity.com.au Unit B2, 20 Tarlton Crescent Perth Airport WA 6105

especially for the pending Mineral Resource Estimate which has had a material change for the upcoming estimation and will be included. Furthermore, the Champion prospect results to date are mostly near surface and remain open at depth, highlighting the increased potential of this prospect. The 28 metres at 1.83 g/t Au is a peculiar intercept given the length. These sorts of widths have not been displayed at Champion previously. However, this intersection indicates a significant extension to the Champion mineralisation immediately north of the historical Champion underground workings where previous Metalicity drilling has intersected mineralisation; however, not at this tenor. The Company intends to follow this up in 2022 and understand more about the geometry of mineralisation at Champion. Nonetheless, this is a spectacular intercept very close to surface requires follow up.

Figure 1 details a plane of vein long section for the Champion drilling to date and intercepts reported in Table 1.

McTavish Assay Results

The results illustrated in Figure 2 and Table 2 continues to provide clarity and definition in understanding the nature of the mineralisation observed at McTavish. Drillhole position assists to expand the mineralisation whilst drilling angles, indicate close to true widths for the mineralisation observed. These intercept results at McTavish further build on the promising story from Leipold and Champion especially for the pending Mineral Resource Estimate. Furthermore, the potential for further discovery is encouraging as the McTavish prospect results to date are mostly near surface and mineralisation opportunities remain open at depth, highlighting the increased potential of this prospect.

Next Steps

With the disclosure of the RC results in this announcement, and the diamond core progressing well, the Mineral Resource Estimate will be revised in accordance with these new results. The density measurements from the core are being completed at the time of this disclosure and will form the basis for the tonnage aspect of the Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company expects these to be completed by early December with metallurgical test work also expected to be finalised by mid-December 2021 as well.

Therefore, the Company is working towards developing a follow up drilling programme on these peripheral high-grade results and finalisation of the Mineral Resource Estimate.

Appendix One – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
● Reverse circulation (RC) sampling
was conducted by the offsiders
on the drill rig and checked at
the end of each rod (6 metres) to
ensure that the sample ID’s
matched the interval that was
intended to be represented by
that sample ID. No issues were
seen or noted by the Competent
person during the entire drilling
campaign. These samples are
kept onsite in a secure location
available for further analysis if
required.
● All RC samples were sieved and
washed to ensure samples were
taken from the appropriate
intervals. The presence of quartz
veining +- sulphide presence +-
alteration was used to determine
if a zone was interpreted to be
mineralised. If the sample was
deemed to be potentially
mineralised, the samples were
submitted for screen fire assay. If
no mineralisation was observed,
the sample was submitted for
check using fire assay.
● Selected samples were
submitted for analysis, no
compositing took place.
Sampling was based on
geological observations
● The quality of the sampling is
industry standard and was
completed with the utmost care
to ensure that the material being
sampled, can be traced back to
the interval taken from the drill
hole for both RC and diamond
core.
● OREAS standards of 60 gram
charges of OREAS 22F (Au grade
range of <1ppb Au – this is a
blank), OREAS 251 (Au grade
range of 0.498ppm Au to
0.510ppm Au), OREAS 219 (Au
grade range of 0.753ppm Au to
0.768ppm Au) and OREAS 229b
(Au grade range of 11.86ppm Au
to 12.04ppm Au) were used in
alternatingand sporadicpatterns
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling
(eg cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken to ensure sample
representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material
to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities
or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed
information.

at a ratio of 1 QAQC sample in 20
samples submitted. The material
used to make these standards
was sourced from a West
Australian, Eastern Goldfields
orogenic gold deposits.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if
so, by what method, etc).
● RC drilling used a bit size of 5 ¼
inch.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and
assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
● RC drilling sample recovery was
excellent.
● No relationship was displayed
between recovery and grade nor
loss/gain of fine/course material.
Logging Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage
of the relevant intersections
logged.
● All recovered sample from RC
has been geologically logged to a
level where it would support an
appropriate Mineral Resource
Estimate, mining studies and
metallurgical test work.
● Logging was qualitative based on
the 1 metre samples derived
from the RC drilling.
● Logging was qualitative based on
geological boundaries observed.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of
the sample preparation
technique.
Quality controlprocedures
● RC samples were cone split from
the rig.
● All RC samples were dry. All
recoveries were >90%.
● Duplicates or a CRM standard
were inserted every 20 samples.
● The Competent Person is of the
opinion the sampling method is
appropriate.

adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that
the sampling is representative of
the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
Quality
of
assay
data
and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and
model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and
their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control
procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
● Fire assay has been selected for
RC samples. The methodology
employed in these analytical
procedures are industry
standard with appropriate
checks and balances throughout
their own processes.
● The analytical method employed
is appropriate for the style of
mineralisation and target
commodity present. However,
selected entire intercepts with a
returned weighted average assay
above 5 g/t Au will be selected
and analysed using the screen
fire method to provide a
statistical comparison between
the two analytical methods in
high grade zones. This is to
ensure the high-grade nature
(nugget effect) is defined and
articulated.
● No geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments were used.
● A 1 in 20 standard or duplicate
or blank was employed during
this programme. QAQC analysis
shows that the lab performed
within the specifications of the
QAQC protocols. The standards
used were from OREAS and
based on material sourced from
with the Eastern Goldfields.
Blanks were also sourced from
OREAS as well.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either
independent or alternative
company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
● No umpire analysis has been
performed.
● No twinned holes have been
completed. However, drill holes
have been collared near
previously drilled holes but on
different orientations.

verification, data storage
(physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay
data.
● Data was collected on to
standardised templates in the
field and data entered at night.
Cross checks were performed
verifying field data.
● No adjustment to the available
assay data has been made.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar
and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system
used.
Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.
● Drill hole collars will be surveyed
using a DGPS.
● The RC holes were downhole
surveyed using a “Champ Gyro
multi-shot down hole survey
camera”.
● GDA94 Zone 51S was used,
collars will be picked up by a
qualified surveyor using a DGPS
(Trimble S7).
● The surveyed collar coordinates
appear to be sufficient, however,
better definition is required of
the topography to allow for a
JORC 2012 compliant estimation.
● Collar coordinates are captured
in Table 1 in the announcement.
Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
● The data spacing is sufficient to
establish a relatively high
confidence in geological and
grade continuity, however,
peripheral data to support the
drill holes requires further work
to ensure compliance with JORC
2012 guidelines.
● No sample compositing was
applied beyond the calculation
of down hole significant
intercepts.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure
Whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures
and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit
type.
If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported
if material.
● Most of the drilling has been
perpendicular to the main
structure that hosts
mineralisation. Secondary
structures oblique to the main
structure may have influence
hanging and foot wall intercepts.
● The author believes that the
drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised
structures has not introduced a
bias.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
● The chain of supply from rig to
the laboratory was overseen a
contract geologist under the
supervision of the Competent
Person. At no stage has any

person or entity outside of the
Competent Person, the contract
geologist, the drilling contractor,
and the assay laboratory came
into contact with the samples.
● Samples dispatched to the
laboratory were delivered to the
laboratory by a contract
geologist, no third-party courier
used.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
● No external audit of the results,
beyond the laboratory internal
QAQC measures, has taken
place.

and 2008, FMR and since 2008 it
has been held between A&C
Mining and Nex Metals

● The historical work completed
requires further field verification
via re-down hole surveying (if
possible) of drill holes beyond 60
metres depth – it appears below
this depth; hole deviation
becomes a factor in establishing
the location of mineralisation in
3D. Furthermore, collar pickups
require verification. All
laboratory certificates for the
assays on file are collated, only
recommendation is possibly
more duplicate information in
mineralised zones.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
● Kookynie:
● The project area is in the
Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic
Zone within the north-
northwest trending
Archean-aged Malcolm
greenstone belt. The Keith-
Kilkenny Tectonic Zone is a
triangular shaped area
hosting a succession of
Archean mafic-ultramafic
igneous and meta-
sedimentary rocks. Regional
magnetic data indicates the
Kookynie region is bounded
to the west by the north-
trending Mt George Shear,
the Keith-Kilkenny Shear
Zone to the east and the
Mulliberry Granitoid
Complex to the south.
● There are several styles of
gold mineralisation
identified in the Kookynie
region. The largest system
discovered to date is the
high-grade mineralisation
mined at the
Admiral/Butterfly area,
Desdemona area and
Niagara area. The gold
mineralisation is associated
with pyritic quartz veins
hosted within north to
northeast dipping structures
cross-cutting 'favourable'
lithologies which can also

==> picture [135 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

12

extend into shears along
geological contacts. Gold
mineralisation tends to be
preferentially concentrated
in differentiated dolerite
sills associated with
pyrite/carbonate/silica/seric
ite wall rock alteration.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information
material to the understanding of
the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the
drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and
interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this
information is justified on the
basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does

Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
● All discussion points are
captured within the
announcement above.
Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades
are usually Material and should
be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the
procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
● All intercepts have been
calculated using the weighted
average method but are based
on 1 metre samples from RC
drilling. Specific intervals within
an interval have been described
as part of the overall intercept
statement.
● Intercepts were calculated based
on a sample returning an assay
value of greater than 0.5 g/t Au
over an interval greater than 2
metres, but not including any
more than 2 metre of internal
material that graded less than
0.5 g/t Au. Intervals were based
on geology and no top cut off
was applied.
● No metal equivalents are
discussed or reported.

intercept lengths reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
of the mineralisation observed at
Kookynie, the nominal drilling
inclination of -60° lends to close
to truth width intercepts.
● However, cross cutting
structures within the hanging
wall and footwall are noted and
may influence the results.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
● Please see main body of the
announcement for the relevant
figures.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
● All results have been presented.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.
● The area has had significant
historical production recorded
and is accessible via the
MINEDEX database.
● All stated mineral Resources for
the Kookynie (and
Yundramindra) Projects are pre-
JORC 2012. Considerable work
around bulk density, QAQC,
down hole surveys and
metallurgy, coupled with the
planned drilling will be required
to ensure compliance with JORC
2012 guidelines.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,

interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially

● Metalicity intends to drill the
known and extend the
mineralised occurrences within
the Kookynie and Yundramindra
Projects. The Yundramindra
Project is currently under the
plaint process, however
Metalicity believes that Nex
Metals is well advanced in
defending those claims. The
drilling will be designed to
validate historical drilling with a
view to making maiden JORC
