The Company is also pleased to announce the results of further data interpretation of the identified Rare Earth Element potential on its Red Peak Project which has revealed Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values of up to 720.54 ppm TREO. The results stem from samples collected by the Company which were initially not targeting Rare Earth Elements (REE) potential of the project and were taken from outcropping pegmatites located across the Project area. The Company is very enthusiastic about the REE potential of the Red Peak Project, located 15 km east of the Mt Clere REE project (Krakatoa Resources Ltd. – ASX: KTA) in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, with further exploration programs to investigate the REE potential at Red Peak focused on the monazite sands and the iconic clay hosted regolith.
Finally, the Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed the inaugural drilling campaign on the Horry Copper and Gold Project located near Halls Creek in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. The drilling program consisted of 2,096m of drilling and 29 RC holes.
Commenting on the exploration activities of the Company, VP Exploration and Geology, Mr Johan Lambrechts, stated:
“Askari Metals identified the Talga East Lithium project as value-add to the district-scale opportunity of the Yarrie Lithium project and the recently acquired Myrnas Hill Lithium project. This portfolio of assets is known as the eastern Pilbara lithium portfolio and will be a major focus of exploration activities for the Company. The Talga East project lies in a favourable geological setting for lithium exploration, further increasing the Company's already significant footprint in the region.
The Company has also completed some further evaluation of the Rare Earth Element potential of the Red Peak Project, revealing Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) results of more than 720ppm TREO. These results are important as they come from samples collected on outcropping pegmatites and are not derived from the monazite sands and clay hosted regolith that hosts numerous deposits in the region, further enhancing the exploration potential of this project area. The Company is very excited to commence further exploration activities through an extensive soil auger program as soon as the PoW for the work has been approved.
We are also pleased to have completed our inaugural drilling campaign at the Horry Copper and Gold project where we drilled a total of 2,096m across 29 RC drill holes. The samples from the drill holes have been sent for analysis and the Company eagerly awaits the opportunity to present its results to our shareholders”.
Talga East Lithium Project
The Talga East project is situated due south of Askari’s existing Yarrie Lithium Project in the Eastern Pilbara Region of WA. It sits exclusively within the Company’s interpretation of the “Goldilocks Zone” for Lithium exploration.
The Talga East Lithium Project is situated in the east Pilbara Granite-Greenstone Terrane. The predominant rock type in the tenement area is Archean Granite with varying amounts of latestage pegmatite fractionates. In the Pilbara region, late-stage granites may be highly fractionated and act as the source for intrusion of rare metal pegmatites into the surrounding stratigraphy. These pegmatites may include spodumene bearing systems, as well as tin and tantalum mineralisation. These are the targeted minerals as well as the potential for Gold.
Granites of the Yule granitoid complex are dated between 2927 Ma. and the formation of the Fortescue group at 2719 Ma. (Smithies, 2002). These younger granites are key targets as source rocks in exploration for LCT (Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum) pegmatites. There are no active or historic lithium mines within the tenement area, however there are extensive tintantalum-lithium workings located south of the Talga East Lithium Project on the eastern bank

Red Peak Pegmatite Project – TREO Review
The REE market regularly communicates results in the form of Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO). To ensure the results the Company identified from the WAMEX and our internal database are reflected in a consistent manner, we calculated the TREO results for the combined sample data on the Red Peak Project and presented these results in this announcement.
The conversion from pure REE to TREO is done using the molecular mass of the Oxide form and calculating a conversion factor based on the ratio of the molecular mass of the Rare Earth Element versus the total molecular mass of the Rare Earth Oxide compound. The Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) value is calculated by adding all the REE oxide compounds.
(Total Rare Earth Oxide) = La2O3 + Ce2O3 + Pr2O3 + Nd2O3 + Sm2O3 + Eu2O3 + Gd2O3 + Tb2O3 + Dy2O3 + Ho2O3 + Er2O3 + Tm2O3 + Yb2O3 + Y2O3 + Lu2O3
WAMEX REE Data
There are 17 Rare Earth Elements, and the group is split into light and heavy Rare Earth Elements. Most of the samples assayed for REEs in the WAMEX database only included analysis for the light REEs. Most notably Lanthanum and Cerium.
Rare Earth Elements are used in high and low temperature magnets for EV’s, wind turbines, aerospace, robotics and medical equipment where increased efficiency is required in order to reduce energy consumption.
In the past, the majority of the samples assayed for REE’s only included sampling for the light REE’s. Most notably Lanthanum (La) and Cerium (Ce). The background values for these REE’s are varied, but in general, background values of 34.5 ppm La and 66.5 ppm Ce are considered standard.

Field Exploration Program (January 2022): AS2 Data (Previously Collected)
==> picture [85 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
During a field program in January 2022, the Askari Metals team collected several rock samples which were primarily analysed for Lithium (Li) mineralisation from outcropping pegmatites across the project area. These samples were also evaluated for REE mineralisation and some of the results are highly encouraging, justifying further on-the-ground exploration activities. The sampling also demonstrated elevated results for Tantalum (Ta), Rubidium (Rb) and Niobium (Nb).
The TREO values greater than 200 ppm TREO are tabulated in Table 1 below.

Completion of the Inaugural Drilling campaign on the Horry Copper/Gold Project
The Company is pleased to have completed the inaugural drilling campaign on the Horry Copper and Gold project located in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.
A total of 2,096m of RC drilling was completed across 29 individual drill holes primarily targeting the Copper and Gold mineralisation identified by surface outcrop samples of malachite-stained rocks yielding results of up to 8.5% Cu with 0.71 g/t Au.
The secondary target of the program included the gold in soil anomalism coincident with the historical gold workings of the Western Lead prospect, tested by four holes and two holes testing in an area where almost 31 gold nuggets were collected during the gold loaming project completed by the Company.

Planned Exploration Activities
==> picture [85 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
Talga East Project
An initial reconnaissance visit will be conducted as soon as possible, after which more detailed exploration activities can be designed.
Myrnas Hill Project
A field program consisting of soil sampling, rock sampling and reconnaissance mapping will be undertaken in the coming weeks with the focus of the field program designed to field test those targets highlighted by historical exploration (Li-Ta-Cs) as well as the targets generated from the hyperspectral survey. Following completion of that work and receipt of the results, the Company will plan its next phase of work which will likely involve the use of soil auger geochemical sampling to highlight the lithium mineralisation trends. A PoW is being drafted at present for submission to the WA Mines Department.
Red Peak Project
Historical exploration by BHP Minerals and Astro Mining in the 1990s confirmed the presence of enriched monazite sands. The main targets for REE exploration in the area are clay-based and the monazite soils in the regolith. The Company plans to do a wide-scale soil auger program across the targets generated by this data review to test for REE mineralisation in the upper soil, sand and clay horizons. The soil auger results are expected to identify areas where more closely spaced auger surveys can be conducted to determine distinct targets before shallow aircore drilling may be employed to test these further. The PoW for this work has been submitted, and the work will commence as soon as possible after its approval.
Horry Project
All samples for the first phase of drilling on the Horry Copper and Gold project have been submitted for analysis. When the results are received, they will be reviewed, and the next exploration activity will be designed.

• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
All samples are crushed then pulverised in a ring pulveriser (LM5) to a nominal 90% passing 75 micron. An approximately 100g pulp sub-sample is taken from the large sample and residual material stored. A quartz flush (approximately 0.5 kilogram of white, medium-grained sand) is put through the LM5 pulveriser prior to each new batch of samples. A number of quartz flushes are also put through the pulveriser after each massive sulphide sample to ensure the bowl is clean prior to the next sample being processed. A selection of this pulverised quartz flush material is then analysed and reported by the lab to gauge the potential level of contamination that may be carried through from one sample to the next. |
| Commentary All AS2 samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Adelaide. The samples were sorted, wet weighed, dried then weighed again. Primary preparation involved crushing and splitting the sample with a riffle splitter where necessary to obtain a sub-fraction which was pulverised in a vibrating pulveriser. All coarse residues have been retained. The samples have been analysed by a 40g lead collection fire assay as well as multi acid digest with an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry finish for multi elements The lab randomly inserts analytical blanks, standards and duplicates into the client sample batches for laboratory QAQC performance monitoring. AS2 also inserted Certified Reference Material (CRM) samples and certified blanks, to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of the results. All of the QAQC data has been statistically assessed to determine if results were within the certified standard deviations of the reference material. If required a batch or a portion of the batch may be re-assayed. (no re-assays required for the data in the release). An internal review of results was undertaken by Company personnel. No independent verification was undertaken at this stage. Validation of both the field and laboratory data is undertaken prior to final acceptance and reporting of the data.

The Red Peak project area is considered poorly explored and highly prospective for lithium pegmatites as well as base metals, uranium and Rare Earth Elements. Notably, several pegmatites are already identified on 1:100,000 scale geological maps. However, only limited historical exploration has occurred and focused on either gold or base metals (Pb / Zn). Extensive pegmatite outcrop can be observed from the surface data, with at least eleven pegmatites mapped across the project, exhibiting strike lengths in excess of 3km and widths of between 150m and 200m. These are significant pegmatites that warrant further investigation, given the fertility of the geological setting. There is significant exploration upside at the Red Peak project, given the prior focus on gold and base metal mineralisation. The mapping completed by the WA Geological Survey has resulted in the mapping of extensive pegmatite fields across the Red Peak project area. This is a distinct strategic advantage for the Company. The focus will now shift towards developingthe surface mineralisation model for conventional LCT(Lithium-Caesium- |

No drilling for Lithium or REE has not been previously reported compliant with the JORC Code (2012) for reporting exploration results and Mineral Resources The region has been multiply deformed and metamorphosed at medium to high grade, intruded by granite and pegmatite, and then deformed and metamorphosed at medium to high grade. Parts of the region (the Yarlarweelor Gneiss Complex) were yet further deformed and metamorphosed at low to medium grade during the Capricorn Orogeny at 1830–1780 Ma, and intruded by voluminous granite sheets and dykes. Carbonatite dykes and lamprophyre dykes, which have been identified in diamond exploration, are probably common and could have been emplaced at this time. The Yilgarn represents the deepest and most severely weathered region in Australia. Large tracts are covered by a considerable regolith thickness, dominated by sand plains, laterite and transported sedimentary cover. The tenement is covered extensively by laterite, which is being eroded into unconsolidated sand, silt and gravel in braided steams and broad alluvial sheet-wash and colluvial plains. The presence of this regolith can commonly be a major impediment to exploration, but here monazite is concentrated in the alluvial areas and REE probably is enriched in the lateritic regolith, so regolith is the primary exploration target.

| 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. |
Not Applicable | ||||
| 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. |
Diagrams are included in the body of the document | ||||
| 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 reportingof results. |
All results reported are exploration results in nature. | ||||
| 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 contaminatingsubstances. |
Assessment of other substantive exploration data is not yet complete however considered immaterial at this stage |
