Koongie Park | Project overview
----- End of picture text -----
Koongie Park Cu/Zn project is situated in north-eastern WA, in the highly mineralised Halls Creek region
**Existing significant JORC 2012 resources of 6.8Mt @ 1.3% Cu, 4.1% Zn, 0.3g/t Au and 26g/t Ag ***
Drill targets already identified - significant opportunity to expand existing resources at Sandiego and Onedin - deposits remain open at depth and to the south
Project is significantly under-explored at depth and highly prospective for further VMS base mineralisation below 150m
Potential to considerably enhance project economics if metallurgical solution at Onedin deposit is identified

-
Substantial continuously-mineralised intersections of many holes at Onedin;
-
Highlight drill hole AOWB03 – 124m @ 1.03% Cu, 1.08% Zn, 1.54% Pb, and 50g/t Ag from 8m ;
-
Wide intervals of high grades of copper and zinc at deeper holes at Sandiego (between 340m – 525m);
-
Existence of further mineralised zones of Co at Sandiego
-
A high-grade zone of molybdenum identified in holes AORC004/AOWB03 at 120m; and
-
The eastern edge of the Onedin deposit (based on earlier drilling) is still in mineralization and by no means closed off.

Koongie Park | Significant cobalt intersections
----- End of picture text -----
Significant intersections of cobalt have been identified from previous drilling at Sandiego including: SRCD064
14.52m @7.37% Cu, 0.8g/t Au and 0.33% Co from 393m including
9.6m @ 9.7% Cu, 1.1g/t Au and 0.49% Co SRC061
17m @ 3.42% Cu, 1.7% Zn, 0.18% Au, 198g/t Ag and 0.25% Co from 101m SRCD059
2.9m @ 3.42% Cu, 15.61% Zn, 0.4g/t Au, 200g/t Ag and 0.33% Co from 168m
No drill holes prior to 2009/2010 were assayed for Co – leaving potential to identify significantly more Co mineralization from these earlier drilling activities.

Koongie Park | Regional exploration
----- End of picture text -----
Under-explored at depth and highly prospective for further VMS base mineralisation due to :
-
Favourable geological setting
-
Abundant mineralisation at numerous locations throughout a specific stratigraphic sequence
-
Known presence of at least 2 sizeable VMS deposits
WA Geological Survey in 2016 identified the Koongie Park tenure area as the most prospective for base metals in the Halls Creek region
Deep penetrating EM surveys and detailed magnetic surveys based on available technology and results of historical surveys will be immediately designed and carried out - targets will then be tested by future drilling

Koongie Park | Metallurgy
----- End of picture text -----
Previous feasibility studies have established the Sandiego ores can be processed to produce commercial grade concentrates. However, Onedin has not been included in any feasibility assessment due to an inability to identify a suitable processing solution for the near-surface oxide and transitional ores
-
An early focus of AKN will be to carry out metallurgical test work on the Onedin ores
-
AKN proposes to test the AmmLeach® process as part of this metallurgical assessment
-
AmmLeach® is a proprietary technology developed and owned worldwide by MetaLeach Limited. Accudo Metals Pty Ltd (Accudo) has recently acquired the technology and patents in Australia. The process uses an ammonia-based process for leaching oxide ores that can then be subjected to normal solvent extraction and electro-winning
-
As part of the Koongie Park transaction, AKN has entered a technical services agreement with Accudo to assist with all project studies and testwork
The ability to process the near-surface ores at Onedin offers the proposed Koongie Park mine development another 5 years of mine life and an early cashflow prior to underground mining at Sandiego

Appendix II | Copper and Zinc outlook
----- End of picture text -----
Copper
Zinc
Price has risen to 10-year highs in recent months, exceeding US$10,000/t, in recent weeks
-
Improved manufacturing activity in the US, China and EU has fueled the rally
-
Recognition of substantial future demand in the renewable energy sector, including electric vehicles
-
A senior BHP marketing executive said that copper production would need to double over the next 30 years to meet surging demand for green renewable energy
-
Goldman Sachs has raised its 12-month copper price target to US$4.75/lb – copper’s all time LME high was US$4.62/lb in 2011
==> picture [269 x 184] intentionally omitted <==
Accelerating demand for zinc via major infrastructure stimulus post-Covid
-
Zinc demand is tied to economic development – construction and infrastructure is 66% of total zinc demand
-
Temporary 2020 demand reduction due to Covid (but outpaced by production cuts)
-
2021-2030 global demand forecast to grow by 1.5% pa (Wood Mackenzie)
