QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

MARCH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Arrow and Trevali Mining agreed to a transformative joint venture agreement to provide access to a large section of the Boromo greenstone belt, Burkina Faso

  • 29 reverse circulation holes completed at the Dassa deposit in Burkina Faso confirm increased size and continuity of gold mineralisation

  • Work commenced with auger sampling at Hounde South Roxgold JV in Burkina Faso

  • Reverse circulation drilling commenced in April to test compelling copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets at the Strickland project

The quarter ended 31 March 2021 saw a successful RC drilling programme at the Dassa deposit in Burkina Faso, where gold mineralisation was seen to continue strike and down dip. Arrow Minerals Limited ( Arrow or the Company ) (ASX: AMD ) also undertook drilling on volcanogenic massive sulphide coper—gold targets on the Strickland project in Western Australia. Meanwhile JV partner Roxgold began auger sampling at the Hounde South project in Burkina Faso. Arrow is pressing forward with its high-quality projects in the remainder of 2021.

TREVALI JOINT VENTURE, BURKINA FASO

Arrow signed a binding term sheet ( Agreement ) that sets out terms for an exploration joint venture with Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX: TV) ( Trevali ) wherein both parties receive reciprocal exploration rights to their exploration permits in the highly prospective gold belt in Burkina Faso (see ASX announcement on 26 February 2021 for details). Arrow and Trevali are continuing to work towards closing out the conditions precedent, including finalising of the formal agreement.

The Agreement covers eight exploration licences – Kikio, Kordie, Pilimpikou, Semapoun, and Viveo (100% Trevali); and Divole East, Divole West and Dyapya (100% Arrow) as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 . The Agreement provides for Arrow to perform gold exploration over the Trevali permits and a reciprocal arrangement for Trevali to undertake base metals exploration on Arrow’s permits.

The area sits within the prolific Boromo Belt that hosts the Poura, Batie West and Bissa gold mines along a highly favourable structural corridor and is a transformational arrangement that gives Arrow access to a highly prospective and significant section of the Boromo greenstone belt.

DASSA DEPOSIT, BURKINA FASO

Dassa RC Drilling Programme

During the quarter Arrow reported results from a successful reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the 100% Arrow-owned Dassa gold deposit on the Divole West exploration permit in Burkina Faso (see ASX announcement on 4 March 2021). Drilling expanded the gold mineralisation to a strike length of more than 900m. The shallow, mostly oxide-hosted gold mineralisation is continuous along strike and to a depth of more than 150m.

HOUNDE SOUTH JOINT VENTURE PROJECT (AMD 100%, Roxgold earning in to 70%)

Roxgold Inc. (TSX: ROXG) has begun work on the Hounde South earn-in project in southwest Burkina Faso. Work to date comprised auger geochemical sampling that commenced in mid-March, extending sampling profiles on the Roxgold Boussoura permit into the JV Fofora permit (see Figure 5 ). The first samples from the programme have been submitted for geochemical analysis.

Roxgold is planning an aggressive exploration programme on the earn-in permits during the remainder of the calendar year Including up to 22,000m of auger drilling and follow-up RC drilling on anomalous results.

STRICKLAND PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Arrow commenced reverse circulation (RC) drilling at its Strickland project in Western Australia (see Figure 6 ) in April 2021. Five high quality VMS drill targets have been identified using historical surface and drilling geochemical data, followed up with field mapping and airborne electromagnetic surveys. All targets exhibit highly anomalous geochemistry and EM signatures typical of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold deposits such as the Golden Grove deposit also in Western Australia.
