STAGE 1 INFILL DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCES

Ngami Copper Project and Kitlanya West Exploration Update

__________

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Infill diamond drilling will be undertaken on the rapidly developing copper target at the Ngami Copper Project ( NCP ). This will take place in two stages:

• 2,400m diamond drilling programme to infill the existing 1 kilometre (km)-spaced intersections at a 500 metre (m) spacing, along with selected step-out holes to establish vertical continuity of mineralisation.

• On completion of the first phase of infill, and subject to results, 250m-spaced infill diamond drilling will continue (with selected step-out holes) for an estimated further 4,800m. This phase of work is expected to be completed by year-end.

• A fourth, 1km diamond step out hole is currently in progress.

• Drill core samples of mineralised intersections from completed drill holes NCP07, NCP08 & NCP09 have been prepared and will be shipped to ALS laboratories in Johannesburg, with assay results expected in September 2022.

• Low detection mobile metal-ion geochemistry (TerraleachTM TL1) proved highly effective in delineating soil anomalies associated with the drill confirmed mineralisation at NCP, providing an ideal targeting tool for the remaining untested ~100km of prospective contact within the NCP licenses. A selection of ~5,300 historical soil samples will be sent for TL1 analysis.

• A large 7,000 sample soil programme, covering targets in the 2,000 km[2] Kitlanya West ( KITW ) licences, has been commissioned and is scheduled to commence in late August. Given the relatively thin Kalahari cover in these licenses, soil sampling presents a cost-effective layer for further prioritising the 34 KITW targets for follow-up drill testing.

Following the significant copper intersections[1] on the NCP , and subsequent A$7m capital raise[2] , Cobre Limited (ASX: CBE , Cobre or Company ) is pleased to announce that it has expanded its exploration programmes on both the NCP and KITW projects. Having established the occurrence of significant concentrations of copper mineralisation at NCP, the Company can now focus on testing the extent and continuity of drill confirmed mineralisation with the aim to unlock a potential new copper deposit. In parallel, the Company is developing additional targets using the same technical method to vector in and open up the district-scale opportunities of the Kalahari Copper Belt ( KCB ).

Figure 1 illustrates the approximate locations of infill drill samples at NCP. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed soil programmes at NCP and KITW. On completion of the work programmes discussed, further drill testing of priority targets will commence.

Commenting on initial drilling results, Cobre Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Martin Holland, said:

“This is a very exciting period for Cobre and all our shareholders. We are very proud of this new potential copper discovery, which was masterfully engineered by the Cobre technical team. The targeted strike length at NCP is comparable to some of the largest copper deposits in the Kalahari Copper Belt. The Company will now focus on aggressively infilling the new potential copper discovery throughout the remainder of this year. This is a significant opportunity now for the Cobre team to unlock a new deposit and a new copper district.”

Ngami Copper Project and Kitlanya West Background

The NCP is located near the northern margin of the KCB ( Figure 3 ) and includes significant strike of sub-cropping Ngwako-Pan D’Ka Fo mat on contact, on which, the majority of the known deposits in the KCB occur. The project is located immediately east of Kala a Metals L m ted’s ( KML ) KITW licenses collectively covering a significant portion of prospective KCB stratigraphy. In terms of regional prospectivity, the greater license package includes:

==> picture [451 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

• Over 500km of interpreted sub-c o ng gwako Pan D’Ka Fo mat on contact which has been divided into 57 prospective targets across the KML licenses with 43 ranked targets located in the KITW and NCP properties;

• Strategic location near the basin margin typically prioritised for sedimentary-hosted copper deposits;

• Outcropping Kgwebe Formation, often considered a key vector for deposits in the northeast of the KCB;

• Well defined gravity low anomalies indicative of sub-basin architecture or structural thickening (a number of the deposits in the KCB are hosted on the margins of gravity lows);

• Relatively shallow Kalahari Group cover (between 0m and ~60m thick); and

• Numerous soil sample anomalies identified on regional sample traverses.

KML is targeting analogues to the copper deposits in Khoemacau’s Zone de elo ment ( Figure 5 ) in the north-eastern portion of the KCB. These include Zone 5 (92.1 Mt @ 2.2% Cu and 22 g/t Ag), Zeta NE (29 Mt @ 2.0% Cu and 40 g/t Ag), Zone 5N (25.6 Mt @ 2.2% Cu and 38 g/t Ag) and Mango NE (21.1 Mt @ 1.8% Cu and 21 g/t Ag)[3] .

Quoted mineralisation is based on visual logging by geologists on-site with verification done using a handheld pXRF. • pXRF measurements have been taken at 25cm intervals through sections of interest to avoid operator bias. Results are intended to provide indicative numbers only.
	• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used	• Sampling of drill core is currently ongoing and has not been completed at this stage. No results are quoted. • pXRF measurements are carried out with appropriate blanks and reference material analysed routinely to verify instrument accuracy and repeatability.

==> picture [451 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.	• Drill spacing is currently broad and hole orientation is aimed at intersecting the bedding of the host stratigraphy as perpendicular as practically possible (e.g. within the constraint of the cover thickness). This is considered appropriate for the geological setting and for the known mineralisation styles in the Copperbelt.
	• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	• Existence, and orientation, of preferentially mineralised structures is not yet fully understood but current available data indicates mineralisation occurs within steep, sub-vertical structures, sub- parallel to foliation. • No significant sampling bias is therefore expected.
Sample security	• The measures taken to ensure sample security.	• Sample bags are logged, tagged, double bagged and sealed in plastic bags, stored at the field office. • Diamond core is stored in a secure facility at the field office and then moved to a secure warehouse. • Sample security includes a chain-of-custody procedure that consists of filling out sample submittal forms that are sent to the laboratory with sample shipments to make certain that all samples are received by the laboratory. Prepared samples were transported to the analytical laboratory in sealed gravel bags that are accompanied by appropriate paperwork, including the original sample preparation request numbers and chain-of-custody forms
Audits or reviews	• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	• KML’s drill hole sampling procedure is done according to industry best practice.

Data aggregation methods	• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg 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. _	• Results > 0.5% Cu have been averaged weighted by downhole lengths, and exclusive of internal waste.
