TORRENS PROJECTS, SA - COPPER AND URANIUM EXPLORATION LICENCE APPLICATIONS UPDATE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Exploration Licences include several historical copper mines and diggings within the North Torrens project, along with a uranium prospect

  • Limited exploration has been undertaken over the 1,762 km[2] of tenure

  • Rock chips up to 8.7% Cu from West Mount prospect, and 210ppm U from Seaham prospect have been recorded

  • Historical drill copper intersections at the West Mont prospects include:

  • 28m @ 0.34% Cu from 44m (WMRC016)

  • 14m @ 0.37% Cu from 14m (WMRC010)

  • 2m @ 1.45% Cu from 10m and 6m @ 0.32% Cu from 58m (WMRC007)

  • 6m @ 0.36% Cu from 14m (WMRC012)

  • The Torrens North area is prospective for:

  • Sediment-hosted copper deposits

o Yeelirrie type calcrete-associated uranium deposits

o Mississippi Valley type ("MVT") lead-zinc-copper-silver deposits

o Structurally hosted gold deposits

o IOCG deposits

  • The company is seeking the granting of exploration licences by Q2 2022.

C29 Metals Limited (“ C29 ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on the two exploration licence applications, ELA 2020/00219 Torrens North and ELA2020/00205 Mount Samuel group, all located in the highly prospective Olympic Dam IOCG Domain of the Gawler Craton region, South Australia. The Company currently has 1,768 km[2] of tenure under application (Figure 1).

Within the licence application areas copper and uranium prospects are known, some of which include historical diggings. Application ELA 2020/00219 has had the most exploration activity historically with six prospects identified.

C29’s Executive Director Mark Major commented : “The historical findings are very encouraging as we start planning our exploration programs for the 2022 period once the tenements are fully granted. The exciting part is that only a small proportion of the North Torrens area was explored and only a very small area was drilled. We are looking forward to unlocking the potential of these exploration prospects once granted.”

Figure 1: Location of the C29 Metals held ELA’s, relative to known mines and significant projects.

The tenement applications reside within the Olympic Dam iron oxide copper gold (uranium) (“IOCG”) province of the Stuart Shelf in central South Australia. The IOCG province is a Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic tectonic and lithostratigraphic domain that extends for some 700km along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton (Figure 1).

The Torrens North tenement ELA 2020/00219 is situated approximately 50km north-east of BHP’s Olympic Dam Mine and approximately 30km northeast of the township of Andamooka in South

Australia. Torrens North Sub-Project (ELA 2020/00205 part of the Mount Samuel tenement group) is located on the north-eastern side of Lake Torrens, just south of the Torrens North tenement. The Mount Samuel Tenement ELA 2020/00205 separated into four subblocks, mainly located East and South of Lake Torrens (Figure 1).

The Torrens North project (ELA 2020/00219) is considered prospective for several types of economic precious and base metal deposits. Within the dominant Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments of this area, possible types of mineralisation could include:

  • Sediment-hosted copper deposits, of the Zambian Copperbelt style or associated with brecciated diapiric structures

  • Mississippi Valley type ("MVT") lead-zinc-copper-silver mineralisation systems

  • Structurally-hosted gold deposits associated with large fault systems in the Adelaidean sediments.

  • Disseminated sediment-hosted gold deposits

  • Willemite (zinc silicate) mineralisation similar to the deposits at the Puttapa Mine

  • Tertiary silcrete carnotite Uranium (Yeerlirrie) style deposits

Within the Mesoproterozoic basement rocks under the majority of the tenements, the main exploration target is are the Olympic Dam style Cu-Au deposits also known as IOCG’s.

The Torrens North project area is known to host several prospective copper projects. The majority of these are pure copper plays or copper associated with precious metals, including one uranium occurrence. The main 4 prospects are summarised in Table 1 and shown on Figure 2.

West Mount Prospect

West Mount has an area of historical copper workings, where small shafts and pits occur on the eastern flank of West Mount over a strike length of approximately 500m. The mine dumps contain malachite (copper mineral) bearing quartz veins, including breccia. Historical drilling has been limited to the Torrens North area, with several holes recording anomalous copper intersections at the West Mount prospect (Figure 3). Notable intersections include:

  • 28m @ 0.34% Cu from 44m (WMRC016)

  • 14m @ 0.37% Cu from 14m (WMRC010)

  • 2m @ 1.45% Cu from 10m and 6m @ 0.32% Cu from 58m (WMRC007)

  • 6m @ 0.36% Cu from 14m (WMRC012)

Specifics of all drill holes provided in Table 2, Significant drilling results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 3. Details can be found in Appendix A. Rock chip samples of up to 8.7% copper were also recorded at the West Mount area. Significant rock chip assay results are shown in Table 4.

Seaham Prospect

Considerable areas of Tertiary silcrete outcrop within the Seaham prospect. This area was identified to have favourable conditions for the deposition of secondary uranium mineralisation, and recorded uranium mineralisation in the form of carnotite.

An initial scintillometer traversing exploration revealed the presence of the radioactive silcrete horizon in 1979. The tenure was dropped before drilling could be undertaken in 1980. No drilling has been undertaken.

Assays taken on the initial rock samples ranged from 65ppm upto 210ppm Uranium. No details of the rock locations are known besides a hand drawn mud map presented in the SARIG report ENV03556.

Airport Claypan prospect

Copper mineralisation was discovered at or near Airport Claypan in 1974. The initial find was reported to be a low outcrop of malachite-bearing limestone at the base of a sand dune. During a later search (after 1996) additional copper mineralisation was located along the northern and southern shores of Airport Claypan, as flakes and small cupriferous rock chips. Tasman Resources NL submitted a selection of the flakes and various small rock chips (generally less than 1 cm in size) for microscopic examination. It was noted that the pieces were of four main lithologies: atacamite, atacamite-rich arkosic siltstone, pyritic chert and goethite-dominant chips.

Atacamite is a rare copper rich mineral that resembles the more common copper rich mineral, malachite. The atacamite content of the siltstone was reported to range from absent to >50%, and some of the chips are composed wholly of atacamite. The identification of atacamite was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The copper rich flakes occur within gravel along the shores of the claypan as numerous small atacamite and iron oxide rich flakes up to one centimeter in size but usually only a few millimeters or less. Some of the flakes are finely laminated with iron oxide and atacamite rich layers, resembling bedding. The atacamite rich flakes appear to be a natural detrital deposit. The source of the copper minerals remains unexplained.

OK Copper Mine propsect

The OK copper mine prospect is located 1km north of the northern tip of Lake Torrens. It is reported that the old copper workings occur in Andamooka Limestone and that secondary copper mineralisation is hosted in cavities within limestone.

Forward Plan

The Company is currently in the process of changing the ownership of the project and has applied completed the regulatory documentation to continue the transfer of the exploration licences. It is expected that the applications process should be completed by April 2022. The company does not believe nor is it aware of any reasoning that the applications won’t be awarded once the regulatory assessment process is completed.

Appendix A: JORC Code, 2012 Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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. _

Sampling was undertaken using industry-standard
practices utilising mostly reverse circulation (RC)
drilling and diamond drilling (DD).

Rock chip samples were taken randomly at
outcrops.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Given the historical nature of the drilling and other
geochemical sampling, no information is available
about sample representivity and calibration.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

The drilling was completed by composite sampling
normally 2 -4m with resampling to single metres for
anomalous zones.

Rock samples were random and are not material.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.

From the information reviewed, it appears that
drilling and sampling was conducted using
industry-standard techniques.

Where information was available in historical
reports, samples were taken from a rig-mounted
cyclone. Composite samples were generally via a
spear sampled. In general, the target was for
samples weighing approximately 2.5kg.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(e.g. 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).

Most of the drilling was based on reverse
circulation (RC) drilling and diamond drilling (DD).

From the information reviewed, it appears that
drilling was conducted using industry-standard
techniques.
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.

Given the historical nature of the drilling, no
information is available about sample recoveries
for specific drill programs

No bias was noted between sample recovery and
grade.
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.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Logs for the drill holes were generally of
reasonable quality.

sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

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. _

Sampling appears to have been carried out using
industry-standard practise.

No QA/QC procedures have been reviewed on for
the historical sampling.

The sample size is considered appropriate for the
material being sampled.
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 (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

Where information has been provided in SARIG

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 twinned holes were identified from the data
reviewed, although given the early stage of
exploration this is to be expected.

No adjustments have been made to original assay
data.

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.

Most of the drilling was undertaken using MGA grid
and while not reported, it is believed that hole
locations were measured by hand-held GPS.

No field validation has been undertaken.

Topographic control is considered adequate for the
early stage of exploration.
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.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Drillhole spacing is highly variable over the project
with sporadic drilling only surrounding the historical
workings.

There has been insufficient sampling and no
significant results to date to support the estimation
of a resource. It is unknown if additional
exploration will result in the definition of a Mineral
Resource.

Assays have been composited into significant
intersections.

Copper minerals were found in 1974 near a
small claypan, known locally as Airport
Claypan Prospect (Gray, 1997).

Copper
and
Uranium
minerals
were
identified near the Mulgaria homestead –
preville hut area, later called the Seaham
prospect area in 1979, by Seaham
explorations Pty Ltd. Rock samples were
the focus of the exploration methods.

In 1981, Amoco Minerals Australia Co.
(“Amoco”)
drilled
hole

1A
approximately 45 km northeast of Olympic
Dam. It failed to reach basement and ended
at 1450m in tillite and quartzo-feldspathic
sandstone of the lower part of the
Umberatana Group (Adelaidean).

During 1986 and 1988, the Electricity Trust
of South Australia (“ETSA”) drilled a series
of coal exploration holes that were aligned
along a broad traverse, 65 km long and
east-west trending. Some holes ended in
probable Adelaidean rocks, the rest ended
in
the
overlying
Bulldog
Shale
or
Algebuckina Sandstone. No assays are
reported.

Tasman Resources NL (“Tasman”) has
explored
the

between 2005 and 2013. Tasman used a
wide range of remote sensing geochemical
and geophysical methods. These include
mobile metal ion (“MMI”) and rock chip
analysis,
aeromagnetic
interpretation,
radiometric survey and induced polarisation
(“IP”) surveys. IP traverses were completed
to confirm drill targets. In most instances,

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project lies within the Olympic Dam iron
oxide copper gold (uranium) (“IOCG”)
province of the Stuart Shelf in central South
Australia.
The
IOCG
province
is
a
Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic
tectonic
and
lithostratigraphic
domain.
Locally surface exposures within the project
area are dominated by sedimentary rocks
that were deposited in four broad periods:
Quaternary/Tertiary,
Mesozoic
(the
Eromanga Basin), Cambrian (the Arrowie
Basin) and Adelaidean (the Adelaide
Geosyncline and Stuart Shelf).

The Lake Torrens Project is prospective for
several types of economic precious and
base metal deposits. Within the Adelaidean
and Cambrian sediments they include, in
approximate order of importance:

Sediment-hosted copper deposits, in
particular of the Zambian Copperbelt
style, or associated with brecciated
diapiric structures.

Yeelirrie
type
calcrete
uranium
depositis.

Mississippi Valley type ("MVT") lead-
zinc-copper-silver mineralisation.

Structurally-hosted
gold
deposits
associated with large fault systems in
the Adelaidean

sediments.

Disseminated sediment-hosted gold
deposits.

Willemite (zinc silicate) mineralisation
similar to the deposits at the Puttapa
Mine.
Within the Mesoproterozoic basement rocks the
main exploration target is:

Olympic Dam style Cu-Au deposits
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the 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. _

All drill hole collar locations and significant
drill results have been identified in Table 2
and 3 of this announcement.

No relevant data has been excluded from
this Report.

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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. _

Significant intersections (>0.2% Cu) have
been calculated with no edge dilution and a
minimum of 1m downhole length.

No top cuts have been applied.

No metal equivalent values are 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 (e.g. ‘down
_hole length, true width not known’). _

Only downhole lengths are reported.

The exact geometry of the mineralisation is
not known as such true width is not known.
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.

Appropriate plans are included in this
announcement.
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 reporting of
Exploration Results.

All drill holes information including collar
location is included.

Significant exploration drill results (>0.2%
Cu) are included in this Report.

All significant exploration rock chip samples
are presented in this report.
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.

To date, only exploration drilling, rock chip
geochemistry and geophysical surveys (and
associated activities) have been undertaken
on the project. No other modifying factors
have been investigated at this stage.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. 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.

Further
work
will
include
systematic
exploration drilling.

Appropriate plans are included in this
announcement.

Future
exploration
activities
will
be
determined once the licence are granted;
but will include geophysical studies, drilling,
and geochemical surveys
