YARAWINDAH BROOK

A large strategic land position in the heart of the Emerging New Norcia Nickel Province

==> picture [916 x 780] intentionally omitted <==

----- End of picture text -----

Prime Position in an Emerging Ni-Cu-PGE Belt

Strong Foundation for Success

  • 400k m[2] of under-explored magmatic Ni-Cu system

  • Located 40km north of, and within same group of host rocks as Chalice’s Julimar Nickel Discovery

  • Targeted in 2018 (pre-Julimar discovery) due to proximity to important regional structural intersection

  • Overlooked in the past due to lack of geological exposure, competition with agriculture and focus on Kambalda-style Ni

  • Historical exploration identifies significant Pd & Pt mineralisation

  • e.g. 11m @ 1.78g/t Pd & 0.56g/t Pt (YBR089)

  • Exploration paradigm shift to orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits

  • Julimar discovery in similar host rocks supports targeting concepts

Aggressive Exploration Delivering Results

Exploration on Multiple Fronts

==> picture [202 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [251 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Collecting data in areas of no previous exploration

  • New Airborne EM Survey covering 116km[2] of prospective gravity and magnetic anomaly

  • Fixed Loop ground EM over priority AEM anomalies

  • ~1,800 soil geochemistry samples

  • Systematically working through priority areas and targets

==> picture [595 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [314 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

Exciting New Target: XC-29

==> picture [202 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

A Compelling Drill Target

  • AEM identifies XC-29 Anomaly and now confirmed by ground geophysics

  • Multiple bedrock conductors over 700m with likely extensions

  • Likely hosted by mafic or ultramafic rocks indicated by magnetic signature and soil traverse results

  • Magmatic sulphides identified on Brassica Trend in 2020 drill program

  • Multiple supporting datasets, therefore… PRIORITY DRILL TARGET

  • Numerous other AEM anomalies to be systematically explored

Brassica Trend Opens Up

==> picture [251 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

Multiple AEM Anomalies under the spotlight

==> picture [464 x 630] intentionally omitted <==

  • 2018 AEM survey identified several anomalies along Brassica Trend

  • (XC-07 to XC-10) but didn’t receive any follow-up. Now under review

  • Plus significant PGE results in rock chips at Aries Prospect – potentially a PGE-rich style of mineralisation

  • Entire Brassica Trend (~6km strike) potentially prospective

==> picture [563 x 418] intentionally omitted <==

11

Next Steps

A busy 3 months coming up

==> picture [202 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [251 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Preparations for drilling at XC-29 in full swing

  • Expected commencement late Q1

  • Soil geochemistry program to continue, initial results expected in coming weeks

  • Potential to generate new drilling targets

  • A pipeline of prospects for systematic exploration: XC-29, XC-07 to 10, Aries, YenartMore to come.

14

A Focus on Surface Gold

Successful first stage of exploration

==> picture [202 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [251 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Previous drilling focused on favourable exposure at Handpump

  • Mineralisation open laterally at shallow depth, beneath barren cover rocks

==> picture [658 x 444] intentionally omitted <==

15

A Large-scale Gold Project

Very few greenfield gold projects with potential scale

==> picture [202 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [251 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Handpump only prospect drilled to date

  • Limited soil geochemistry has identified other gold anomalies along structural corridor

  • Evidence for a camp-scale mineralised belt over 50km
