OVERVIEW

Conico Limited ( ASX: CNJ ) ( Conico or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at the Mt Thirsty Joint Venture ( MTJV ), with assays having now been received for the remaining five drill holes targeting Co-Ni-Mn-Sc mineralisation.

The Mt Thirsty Co-Ni-Mn-Sc project is located 16 kilometres North-Northwest of Norseman, Western Australia (50% Greenstone Resources, 50% Conico Limited) and is supported by a network of existing infrastructure (road, rail, port & power). The Project hosts the Mt Thirsty cobalt-nickel-manganese deposit with a current JORC Resource of 66.2Mt at 0.06% cobalt, 0.43% nickel, 0.45% Manganese for which a Scoping Study (Study) is currently underway and expected in July (see ASX Announcement: CNJ 26/04/2023).

Remaining assays have now been received for the last five reverse circulation (RC) pre-collars

completed late last year as part of the Phase I drill campaign. During the course of the Phase I drill campaign at Mt Thirsty, three distinct zones of flat-lying horizontal mineralisation were intersected across the eastern licence area, including an upper zone consisting of a weathered ultramafic peridotite rock hosting nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium mineralisation. The most recent significant intercepts from the upper Co-Ni-Mn-Sc zone include:

• MTRC005D: 48.0 metres @ 0.08% Co, 0.44% Ni, 0.13% Mn & 47.6g/t Sc from 2.0 metres, including:

• 6.0 metres @ 0.14% Co, 0.62% Ni, 0.85% Mn & 57.4/t Sc from 5.0 metres

• MTRC006D: 72.0 metres @ 0.05% Co, 0.44% Ni, 0.47% Mn & 38.8g/t Sc from 3.0 metres, including:

• 26.0 metres @ 0.11% Co, 0.59% Ni, 1.06% Mn & 28.2g/t Sc from 47 metres

• MTRC007D: 29.0 metres @ 0.09% Co, 0.62% Ni, 0.73% Mn & 33.2g/t Sc from 0.0 metres, including:

• 13.0 metres @ 0.15% Co, 0.62% Ni, 1.36% Mn & 34.1g/t Sc from 6.0 metres

• MTRC010D: 38.0 metres @ 0.05% Co, 0.43% Ni, 0.34% Mn & 48.8g/t Sc from 3.0 metres, including:

- 6.0 metres @ 0.09% Co, 0.51% Ni, 0.99% Mn & 50.1g/t Sc from 3.0 metres

The Phase I drill campaign utilised a combination of both RC and diamond drilling methods which allowed holes to be extended to an average depth of ~350 metres below surface, significantly deeper than the historical air-core drilling methods previously deployed at Mt Thirsty. As a result of this historical air-core drilling, large areas beneath and adjacent to the existing resource still remain untested and provides potential for future Co-Ni-Mn resource additions (Figure 1). These latest results

largely sit outside the current resource envelope and with the recent drilling located approximately 100m east of the current resource, this highlights the unrealised growth potential further to the east.

The Phase I drill campaign also employed a comprehensive multi-element assay suite, serving to identify the presence of scandium which had not previously been assayed for, and is not included within the existing resource estimate. Scandium is a rare earth metal that is highly valued for its unique properties, including high strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion. It has a wide range of applications, including aerospace, defence, hydrogen fuel cells and electronics industries. In 2021 the global scandium market size was valued at US$460.9 million, however this is projected to reach US$977.3 million by 2030, growing at a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2022 to 20305. The potential addition of scandium to the Co-Ni-Mn-Sc Mt Thirsty Project may provide a valuable by-product revenue stream.

The current price of scandium oxide is A$1,376,600/t; cobalt is A$55,500/t; nickel is A$37,800/t and manganese is A$3,200/t[6] .

Executive Director, Guy Le Page, commented :

“The latest drilling results continue to highlight the potential of Mt Thirsty to provide a low-cost, ethical, and sustainable source of cobalt and nickel outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Russia. Significantly, the majority of these results remain outside of the recently published Mineral Resource Estimate and present an opportunity for further resource growth and potentially mine life extensions.

The Mt Thirsty project is uniquely positioned to support the continued decarbonisation of our economy, not only containing cobalt and nickel, but also hosting manganese and scandium, allowing the Project to potentially produce a high value pCAM product.

We are entering into a transformational phase for the Mt Thirsty project with metallurgical studies progressing that will feed into a Scoping Study that is expected to be completed in July.”

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE & SCOPING STUDY UPDATE

A specialist team of independent consultants has been engaged to undertake a Scoping Study at Mt Thirsty, including Simulus Pty Ltd ( Simulus ) and WSP Australia Pty Limited ( WSP ).

THE SCOPING STUDY IS UNDERWAY AND REMAINS ON SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION IN JULY.

It is expected that the Scoping Study, leveraging off a materially larger resource will provide the foundation for a potential ownership consolidation and IPO of the Mt Thirsty project later this year, followed by a Pre-Feasibility study, which will seek to supply a low-cost, ethical and sustainable source of cobalt and nickel outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Russia.

This announcement is authorised by the Board of Directors.

THE FOLLOWING TABLES ARE PROVIDED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE JORC CODE (2012 EDITION) FOR THE REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS.

MT THIRSTY PROJECT

SECTION 1 – SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • 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.	• Sampling was conducted using a Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Core (DD) drilling rigs. • For RC drilling, samples were collected at every 1m interval using a cyclone and cone splitter to obtain a ~2-3kg representative sub- sample for each 1m interval. The cyclone and splitter were cleaned regularly to minimize contamination. • For DD drilling, samples were collected as half-core (NQ2) at geological intervals defined and mineralisation boundaries and is considered appropriate for this style of mineralisation. • Diamond drilling was used to obtain ½ core samples of various lengths (minimum 0.2m), from which 1-2kg of material is collected for assaying. • QAQC Standards and Blanks were collected/inserted at a rate of 1 in every 20m (maximum) through pre-determined mineralised zones. • Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using Conico’s protocols as per industry best practice.
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). _	• Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was carried out using a face sampling hammer with a 127mm (5”) drill bit. • DD drilling was NQ2 through the main zones of mineralisation. Core was oriented every 6m where possible using an electronic orientation tool.
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.	• Sample recoveries are visually estimated qualitatively on a metre basis and recorded in the database. • Drilling contractors adjust their drilling approach to specific conditions to maximise sample recovery. • Estimated moisture content and sample recovery is recorded for each sample. • Core recovery was estimated using the drillers recorded depth marks against the length of the core recovered, this is verified and confirmed by Conico staff. • No sample recovery issues have impacted on potential sample bias.
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.	• All drillholes are logged in full. • All drilled intervals are logged and recorded. • Data was recorded for regolith, lithology, veining, fabric (structure), grain size, colour, sulphide presence, alteration, oxidation state, fractures, and RQD. • Logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature depending on the field being logged. • Logging of diamond core was qualitative and diamond core was photographed. • Diamond core is stored at the Company’s core yard on-site. • Conico considers the data to be of an appropriate level of detail to support a resource estimation.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether 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.	• All RC samples were passed through cyclone and cone splitter, and a 2-3kg split sample is collected for each 1m interval. • 1m split samples were collected for analysis from selected zones based on field logging • Diamond core is cut in half along the orientation line. The right side of the core is collected for analysis. • Sample preparation was conducted at ALS Global laboratories using a fully automated sample preparation system. Preparation commences with sorting and drying. Oversized samples are crushed to <3mm and split down to 0.5-3kg using a riffle splitter. Samples are then pulverized and homogenized in LM5 Ring Mills and ground to ensure 85% passes <75µm. • The sample size is considered appropriate for this type and style of mineralisation.
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 (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.	• Homogenised and pulverised samples are mixed with flux composed of PbO and SiO2 with variable amounts of borax, soda ash and other reagents. The flux and sample are mixed, then heated at high temperature (>1,000°C) to decompose rock lattices and allow precious metals within the sample to be collected into a lead button. The button is placed in a porous cupel and heated again in an oxidising environment to convert lead to lead oxide that is absorbed into the cupel, leaving the precious metals behind as a doré bead or prill. The gold, platinum and palladium content of the prill is then determined through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The detection level for the Fire Assay/AAS technique is 0.001ppm for Palladium (Pd) and Gold (Au) , 0.0005 for Platinum (Pt). • Rhodium (Rh) analysis is carried out in a similar manner to PGM by lead collection fire assay, with the additional step of gold inquarting during the fusion process and modified cupellation. Analysis is carried out using ICP-MS instrumentation. • A four-acid digestion method which utilises a combination of nitric, perchloric, and hydrofluoric acid with a final dissolution stage using hydrochloric acid with a 48 element suite including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr with ICP-MS finish. • Laboratory QA/QC controls during the analysis process include duplicates for reproducibility, blank samples for contamination and standards for bias. • The laboratories used have generally demonstrated analytical accuracy at an acceptable level within 95% confidence limits.
Verification of sampling and assaying	• 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.	• All drilling and significant intersections are verified and signed off by the Exploration Manager for Greenstone Resources who is also a Competent Person. • No pre-determined twin holes were drilled during this program. • Geological logging was originally captured on formatted excel templates, then sent to the company’s consultant database administrator (SampleData) utilising Datashed software for uploading into a database via a validation process. Sampling, collar, and laboratory assay data is captured electronically and also sent to SampleData. The official database is stored and backed up by SampleData, a copy of which is sent to Greenstone for geologists use. Uploaded data is reviewed and verified by the geologist responsible for the data collection. • No adjustments or calibrations were made to any assay data reported.
Location of data points	• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine	• Drill hole collar locations are pegged out by supervising geologists using handheld GPS, accurate to +/-3m. This has been considered
