ASX RELEASE: 3 May 2021

Assays up to 118 g/t Au from Leipold, Kookynie Gold Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • First deeper holes at Leipold have confirmed extensions to mineralisation down dip, with highlighted results of:

  • LPRC0107 - 2m @ 59.9g/t from 147m (incl. 1m @ 118.4g/t Au from 147m) & 4m @ 3.7g/t Au from 151m (incl. 1m @ 11.6g/t Au from 151m),

  • LPRC0109 - 3m @ 4.2g/t Au from 137m (incl. 1m @ 9.4 g/t Au from 137m,

  • LPRC0098 - 5m @ 3.8g/t Au from 92m (incl. 2m @ 6.7 g/t Au from 92m).

  • The down dip extensions have the potential to significantly increase mineralisation envelopes at Leipold representing a step change to the prospect.

  • Mineralisation at Leipold now defined over a strike length of 800 metres and which remains open to the north, to a vertical depth of 130 metres (where the down dip component is only defined to a length of 200 metres thus far) and still open at depth.

  • Drilling is continuing at the high priority Leipold, McTavish and Champion Prospects:

  • Leipold – 35 holes for 4,545 metres. This drilling is continuing to step out along strike from known mineralisation & testing down dip:

    • 13 drill holes for 2,005 metres reported in this announcement leaving a balance of 22 drill holes pending assays,
  • McTavish – 20 holes for 1,206 metres – to be reported, assays pending.

  • Champion – 16 holes for 1,734 metres – to be reported, assays pending.

  • As previously reported, 12 holes for 3,043 metres at the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine pending QAQC checks and further work[2] :

    • The historic Cosmopolitan Gold Mine that produced 360,000 ounces between 1896 to 1922 at an average head grade of 15 g/t Au.

Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce assays results for the Leipold Prospect at the Kookynie Gold Project[1] in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, approximately 60 kilometres south southwest of Leonora.

Cautionary Statement Relating to the Cosmopolitan Production Data

The Production details for the Cosmopolitan Mine are referenced from publicly available data sources. The source and date of the production data for the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine has been reported in the Geological Survey of Western Australia records showing the development of the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine in 1905. DMIRS digital records include open file Annual Reports and data pertaining to the exploration and development efforts of previous operators. Two documents with WAMEX reference numbers A069774 and A067918 are of particular interest. The previous operator in the early 2000’s, Point Exploration Ltd, digitised these historical maps, including the channel sampling. The historical production data have not been reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose the historical production data in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. It is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the prior reported production data may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012 Nothing has come to the attention of the operator that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the historical production data; An assessment of the additional exploration or evaluation work that is required to report the data in accordance with JORC Code 2012 will be undertaken as part of the Company’s development plan.

Commenting on the drilling results, Metalicity Managing Director, Jason Livingstone said:

“The results received to date confirm the down dip extensions to the mineralisation observed at Leipold, which is highly encouraging. The confirmation of down dip extensions of very high-grade lodes intercepted by LPRC0107 where an interval of 2 metres at 59.9 g/t Au from 147 metres that also included a spectacular result of 118.4 g/t Au.”

“In January 2021, we commissioned an external mineral resource consultant to start the process of reestimating current pre-2012 mineral resources at Leipold, McTavish and Champion. This provided an external review to our drilling, and detail opportunities to potentially expand an estimation at each of the prospects; Leipold, McTavish and Champion. Therefore, our aim is to complete the required drilling and produce this estimate. Hence, the results returned so far illustrate a highly mineralised and continuous system that bodes well for the estimation process and reporting of the tonnes and grade in due course.”

“Assay turnaround still hampers our work, and I do sincerely apologise for this fact. However, we are drilling at highly prospective areas and look forward to continuing the good news flow. I do however encourage people to email me if they do have questions and I will do my best to answer questions expeditiously and within disclosure rules.”

Assay & Drilling Discussion

Kookynie is located 60 kilometres south south-east from Leonora, Western Australia and is host to nine, significant prospects; Champion, McTavish, Leipold, Altona, Mulga Plum, Wandin, Diamantina, Cosmopolitan and Cumberland. Diamantina, Cosmopolitan and Cumberland are known collectively as the DCC Trend, please refer to Figure 1.

Table 2 – Drilling to be reported as of late April 2021.

As illustrated, we have a significant backlog from previously drilled prospects that has been designed to extend known mineralisation in preparing and stating updated mineral resource estimates for the Leipold, McTavish and Champion Prospects.

Regarding the pending results from the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine as detailed in the ASX Announcement “ First Hole Intersects Visible Gold at the Cosmopolitan Prospect, 100m North of Historic Cosmopolitan Gold Mine ” dated 4th February 2021, the Company has received some preliminary results. However, as illustrated by the ASX Announcement “Metalicity Continues to Deliver Impressive Drill Hole Results for the Kookynie Gold Project” dated 22[nd] December 2020, the very high variability shown by the Altona results is also present at the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine. Therefore, a quality control programme on remaining sample has been implemented for the Company by the Competent Person and Metalicity Staff to be able to competently discuss the results in accordance with JORC 2012 reporting standards and ASX Listing rules. This quality control programme is ongoing, and results will be published in due course and in line with the required standard and reporting rules.

The drilling programme is ongoing for the McTavish and Champion Prospects.

The Leipold Prospect Summary

The results illustrated above continue to define and expand the mineralisation observed at Leipold. As mentioned earlier, the programme at Leipold (and McTavish and Champion), has been designed off the back of a preliminary mineral resource work conducted in January 2021. The tenure and extent of the returned mineralisation bodes exceptionally well for this impending mineral resource estimate at Leipold, and the Company has observed similar structures at Champion and McTavish that correlate with previously observed mineralisation.

The Company is waiting on the assays to finalise the drill hole database and commence the resource estimation for Leipold. Below is a plane of vein long section detailing the drilling to date and intercepts reported:

Appendix One – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
● 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.
● All samples were submitted for analysis, no
compositing took place.
● 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 alternating and sporadic patterns 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
● RC drilling sample recovery was excellent.
● No relationship was displayed between recovery
and grade nor loss/gain of fine/course material.

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.
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.
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 control procedures 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.
● 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.
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,
● 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

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
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay
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.
● 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.
● Appendix Two contains collar coordinates as
drilled:
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
● 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

● The author believes that the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures
has not introduced a bias.

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.

parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
● Nex Metals Explorations Ltd have done a great job
of collating the historical drilling completed over
the previous 30 years.
● The Kookynie Area been subjected to many phases
of Exploration commencing with the discovery of
gold in 1897 at the Cosmopolitan Gold Mine.
Extensive work by Western Mining Corporation
between 1934 to 1937 with Aerial Geological and
Geophysical Survey of Northern Australia
(AGGNSA) between 1937 to 1940. Then with WMC
at 1966 and 1986, ASARCO between 1974 to 1975,
Square Gold and Minerals in 1981, CRA between
1982 and 1983, and Money Mining in 1992.
Between 1993 and 2008, FMR and since 2008 it
has been held between A&C Mining and Nex
Metals Explorations.
● 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 laboratorycertificates for

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 extend into shears
along geological contacts. Gold mineralisation
tends to be preferentially concentrated in
differentiated dolerite sills associated with
pyrite/carbonate/silica/sericite 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 not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
● For Kookynie (and Yundramindra), please refer to
the Company’s announcement dated 6th May
2019, “Metalicity Farms Into Prolific Kookynie &
Yundamindra Gold Projects, WA”, for all historical
drill collar information, and selected significant
intercepts.

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 0.1 g/t Au
over an interval greater than 2 metres, but not
including any more than 1 metre of internal
material that graded less than 0.1 g/t Au. Intervals
were based on geology and no top cut off was
applied.
● No metal equivalents are discussed or reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the 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’).
● Given the shallow dipping nature (approximately -
45° on average) 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. Please refer to
Appendix 2.
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;
● 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
theplanned drillingwill be required to ensure

further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

areas of possible extensions,

not commercially sensitive.
● 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 2012 Mineral
Resource Estimate statements. Metalicity has
made the aspirational statement of developing
“significant resource and reserve base on which to
commence a sustainable mining operation focusing
on grade and margin”.
● Diagrams pertinent to the area’s in question are
supplied in the body of this announcement.
