ASX RELEASE: 28[th] April 2022

Kookynie Gold Project Drilling Update

  • 9,000m extensional aircore and RC drilling programme at the Leipold, McTavish and Champion deposits now complete

  • Initial programme designed to test several exciting new targets and potential substantial extensions to known mineralisation identified across a significant area within the Leipold-McTavish-Champion gold mineralisation trend - over a combined potential strike length of circa 3kms

  • Programme now expanded to also target high priority regional prospects Mulga Plum[2] and Wandin[3] drilling expected to commence here imminently pending approval of submitted POW’s

  • The diamond drilling at the Leipold and McTavish Deposits within the Kookynie Gold Project[1] hit structural intersections at depth with assays presented within this announcement

  • This significant extension to the Leipold and McTavish host structures confidently and consistently confirmed intersections at a vertical depth of up to 270 metres (down dip length at Leipold of ~380 metres), providing significant encouragement for follow up drilling at both these prospects, which remaining open at depth and along extension

  • Assay results from the current 9,000m pending, with first results expected in the next 2-4 weeks

Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“MCT” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the initial 9,000m RC and Aircore drilling programme at the Kookynie Gold Project has been completed. This Initial program was designed to test several exciting new targets and potential substantial extensions to known mineralisation that has now been identified across a significant area within the Leipold-McTavish-Champion gold mineralisation trend over a combined potential strike length of circa 3kms.

Metalicity is encouraged by the intersection of key structures along the known trends and also the potential extensions into the Company’s ground of intersections drilled by Carnavale Resources (ASX: CAV) on our tenement border (CAV recent drilling discovery: 16m @ 20.92 g/t Au)[7] . These results appear to include outlying extensions of the Leipold and McTavish structures, where mineralisation trends are constrained to a certain extent by the tenement boundary.

As mentioned in previous announcements last week, the programme will now be significantly expanded to target to key regional Prospects in Mulga Plum and Wandin. Mulga Plum and Wandin are highly prospective and significantly underexplored tenure which could result in a significant step change to the prospective size of the gold footprint of this project. The Mulga Plum programme will follow up significant intercepts from previous programmes[4,5] and the Wandin programme will include testing of highly anomalous targets analogous to those that host the highly prospective Niagara Gold Mining Centre[6] .

Diamond Drilling results from the Leipold and McTavish Prospects have confirmed the extension of the structural intersections at a vertical depth of up to ~270 metres (~380 metres down dip length) at Leipold.

Metalicity CEO, Justin Barton said:

“We have expeditiously completed the first 9,000m of extensional and new target drilling within the Kookynie Gold Project and we are excited about what visually looks like the continuation of the ore body in the pending assays which should start to come through in the next 2-4 weeks. We are now expanding this programme to the exciting Mulga Plum and Wandin Prospects where there are some excellent intersections, but only minimal drilling – we think there is potential to add a lot of ounces to the Resource in these areas.

The confirmation of the structural intersections at significant depths at the Leipold and McTavish prospects is also very encouraging, and we will head back there shortly to zone in on the mineralisation. Both prospects remain open at depth and along strike and these diamond drilling results highlight the significant potential of this area and has provide the exploration team with some highly anticipated key follow-up targets at depth.

The team and Metalicity continue to push to generate value to shareholders by testing the bounds of our gold foot print in this area and performing systematic drilling to illustrate the significant value and very prospective nature of this Project.”

Leipold and McTavish Diamond Drillhole Assay Results

The results confirm the southerly plunging nature of these orebodies that is analogous with many other prospects within the Kookynie area and the Leipold deposit remains open at depth indicating there is still significant potential with this orebody (Figures 1 2, and 3). The next step will be to zone in on the mineralised component with follow up drilling to properly test the down plunge component to these highly variable gold orebodies.

Table 1 below details the significant intercepts recently received from the diamond drilling component of the drilling programme. Assay results were significantly delayed due to longer than expected laboratory turn around times and transport logistics.

Table 1 – Leipold and McTavish Deposit Anomalous Drill Hole Intercepts.

Note: Duplicates and CRM analysis was not used in the calculation of the significant intercepts. A hole listed with “no significant anomalism” means that no sample run returned a value to trigger reporting.

The intercepts above were calculated based on a sample returning an assay value of greater than 0.5 g/t Au over an interval greater than 2 metre, but not including any more than 2 metres of internal material that graded less than 0.5 g/t Au. Intervals were based on geology and no top cut off was applied.

The Company regards the assay results for LPRD0001 to LPRD0005 and MCTRD0001 and MCTRD0002 are not typical of previous drilling results. However, the diamond drillholes are characteristic of the highly variable nature of these orebodies whilst also assisting in definition and confirmation of zones within the Leipold and McTavish mineralisation envelopes. Each of the seven drillholes consistently intersected the host shear structure close to the expected downhole depths as noted by the recorded presence of significant quartz zones with intense alteration, laminations and presence of sulphides indicative of the host structure elsewhere in the Leipold and McTavish (Figure 2).

These results highlight the need to keep targeting the extensive and prospective host structure whilst further defining the resources of Leipold, McTavish and Champion deposits in Metalicity’s Kookynie Gold Project.

Appendix One – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
● Diamond Drillcore 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 drillcore samples washed and
checked against geological
observations 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.
● Diamond samples are being
analysed by Intertek Genanalysis
Laboratories in Kalgoorlie WA.
● 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 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
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.

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.
● Diamond holes were sampled
over generally 1m intervals in
HQ2 with no samples greater
than 1.5m and less than 0.1m.
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).
● HQ2 core drilling is being
utilised.
● The core is orientated with a
maximum run of 3 metres drilled
in any single run. Shorter runs
occur and orientation marks are
planned for every 3 metres
unless broken ground is
encountered
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.
● To date, the core drilling is
providing exceptional recoveries
(>95%). The method of core
recovery will be measuring core
against core blocks and noting
any variances.
● This will be reduced as soon as
possible so discussions between
technician and driller can occur
to resolve any discrepancies.
Post this, the driller will still be
available to take questions.
Measures taken to maximise
recovery is that the driller will
complete shorter runs if the
ground deems so. Therefore
maximising recovery.
● No relationship was displayed
between recovery and grade nor
loss/gain of drillcore 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.
● All recovered core was
geologically logged by industry
standards including lithology,
mineralisation, alteration and
weathering. As well as to a level
where it would support an
appropriate Mineral Resource

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

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.
● Whole core was cut by an
external core cutting contractor
with half core sent for assay in
logged mineralised zones.
● All core samples were dry. All
recoveries were >90%.
● Duplicates or a CRM standard
were inserted every 20 samples
● The available data suggests that
sampling procedures provide
sufficiently representative sub-
samples for geological
interpretation.
● 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, 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
core 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.
● 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
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.
● Logs were recorded by field
geologists on hard copy sampling
sheets which were entered into
spreadsheets for merging into an
externally managed central SQL
database.
● Laboratory assay files were
merged directly into the
database. Geologists routinely
validate data when loading into
the database.
● No adjustment to the available
assaydata 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 were surveyed
using a DGPS.
● The diamond 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.
● The Company has acquired
drone survey topographic data
to check against collar
coordinates when surveyed and
to generate a digital terrain
model
● 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.
● The data spacing is sufficient to
establish a relatively high
confidence in geological and
grade continuity.
● No sample compositing was
applied beyond the calculation
of down hole significant
intercepts.

11

Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
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,
the core cutting 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.
● The competent person
independently reviewed Saturn’s
sample quality information and
database validity.
● No external audit of the results,
beyond the laboratory internal
QAQC measures, has taken
place.

● 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
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-
KilkennyTectonic Zone is a

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

13

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/seric
ite wall rock alteration.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information

the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill

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.
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
diamond 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
metre, 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.
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, LPRD0003 was drilled
at a steeper angle of -80° to
intercept the host structure at
depth and for collar positioning
within tenement boundaries.
● 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

reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
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 both
JORC 2012 and pre-JORC 2012.
Considerable work around bulk
density, QAQC, down hole
surveys and metallurgy, coupled
was completed 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,
including the main geological
interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this
information is 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.
