(b) involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, without limitation, resource risk, metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, as well as political and operational risks in the countries and states in which the Company operates or supplies or sells product to, and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes; and
(c) may include, among other things, statements regarding estimates and assumptions in respect of prices, costs, results and capital expenditure, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions.

Cautionary Statement Relating to Cosmopolitan and Altona Historical Production Data
The Production details for the Cosmopolitan Mine and Altona are referenced from publicly available data sources. The source and date of the production data for Altona has been referenced in the body of this announcement; and 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.

The Kookynie Gold Project – Mulga Plum
-
Metalicity acquired the Mulga Plum Project[1] comprising exploration licences E40/350 & E40/357.
-
Drilling in early 2020, of 25 RC drill holes for 1,518 metres, returned:
-
2m @ 8.84 g/t Au from 14m,
-
2m @ 2.96 g/t Au from 42m, &
-
6m @ 1.22 g/t Au from 10m.
-
Rock chips from veins have hosted mineralisation of up to 17.1 g/t Au.
-
The Mulga Plum Project is located at the western extremity of the historic Niagara and Kookynie Goldfields within the Malcolm greenstone belt.
-
Metalicity intends to follow up the high grade hits from the ARL 2020 drilling programme and assess this area via the successful drone magnetic survey instruments used over our main areas.

The Kookynie Gold Project – Wandin
-
The Wandin Tenement (E40/390) demonstrates similar geophysical signatures to the prolific Niagara Trend under thin alluvial cover.
-
Historical, turn of the century mine site produced 40 tonnes at 12 g/t Au with little to no historical exploration in the area.
-
Proximal and complimentary to the recently acquired Mulga Plum tenure that has demonstrated significant drill hole intercepts.
-
As per the proposed work schedule at Mulga Plum, the plan is to evaluate the Wandin Prospect via drilling and the tenement utilising the successful drone magnetic survey instruments used over our main areas.

The Kookynie Gold Project – Orient Well East
-
With E40/289 (Orient Well East/Fortuna) Five high tenure geophysical anomalies[1] have been identified that coincide with historical mining centres, coupled with similar signatures to mining centres further along strike within this highly endowed trend.
-
Drilling confirmed favourable lithologies and alteration assemblages which supports our interpretations – follow up work is warranted to assess further.

Image above illustrates the historical workings in this drilling area.
The drilling has been designed to test the structural disruptions highlighted in the aerial drone survey completed. The general observations are that the area is dominated by a sequence of highly magnetic basalts, moving into a de-magnetised basalt juxtaposed against volcaniclastics. Of note is extensive alteration and sulphide mineralogy demonstrating that a mineralised fluid has passed through this area. Furthermore, quartz carbonate veins coincident with the contact between the altered and de-magnetised basalt and volcaniclastics bodes incredibly well for analogous mineralisation to the historic Orient Well Mine.

The Kookynie Gold Project – Summary & Plan
-
Metalicity has a 51% and controlling interest in just over 11,000ha of tenure in this prolific and gold well-endowed region of Kookynie.
-
All Prospects at the Kookynie Gold Project have demonstrated a high-grade nature to the gold mineralisation.
-
Incredible drill hole intercepts returned to date.
-
Metalicity has drilled 368 drill holes for 33,540 metres.
-
21 high tenure geophysical targets which potentially allows for a significant discovery.
Plan for remainder of 2021 and 2022:
-
Complete drilling of the increasingly prospective 2km of untested strike between McTavish and Leipold.
-
Complete the pending Mineral Resource Estimate for Champion, Leipold and McTavish, all situated on mining leases.
-
Undertake extensive drilling programme at Cosmopolitan Gold Mine.
-
Create that value by showing the Kookynie Gold Project that we are working in the jewel within this district.
