1.1.1. Overview of Activities
==> picture [454 x 477] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 : MTJV tenure with 100k surface lithology.
The MTJV is located 16 kilometres North-Northwest of Norseman, Western Australia (Annexure A) and is owned by Greenstone Resources Ltd (ASX: GSR ) (50%) and Conico Limited (ASX: CNJ ) (50%).
Following the discovery of PGE – nickel – copper -cobalt mineralisation approximately 200 metres north of the Mt Thirsty JV tenement boundary by Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL ) on 11 May 2022, the JV
3 Conico Ltd ASX: CNJ F:BDD
==> picture [198 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
partners undertook a review of the prospective mineralised horizon onto MTJV tenure supported by lithology & geophysics.
An initial appraisal of the results from Callisto by Galileo indicates similarities in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits on the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa with combined indicated resources of >700Mt at a 1 g/t 3PE+Au cut off. Contained metals at Platreef include palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium, copper, and nickel.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the mineralised horizon remains untested for a further 1.5km extending onto MTJV tenure. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the MTJV has applied for and received a POW for a total of 5,000 metres of RC and diamond drilling to test this horizon.
Galileo recently announced ( GAL ASX Announcement, 11 May 2022) the completion of six reverse circulation drillholes at Callisto targeting a mineralised sulphide unit on the contact between an ultramafic sill and package of sedimentary rocks.. Significant intercepts from the discovery hole NRC266 drilled by Galileo on their tenure, include1:
33 metres @ 2.00g/t 3E2 (1.64g/t Pd, 0.28g/t Pt, 0.09g/t Au), 0.32% Cu & 0.30% Ni from 144m, including;
==> picture [10 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- 6 metres @ 2.69g/t 3E (2.21g/t Pd, 0.37g/t Pt, 0.11g/t Au), 0.41% Cu & 0.36% Ni from 159m; and
==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
1 metre @ 3.21g/t 3E (2.66g/t Pd, 0.41g/t Pt, 0.14g/t Au), 0.48% Cu & 0.46% Ni from 176m.
Despite extensive drilling over the Mt Thirsty resource area (JORC Inferred and Indicated Resources of 26.9Mt at 0.126% cobalt, and 0.54% nickel, see Annexure C), the prospective eastern margin remains largely untested (Figure 1) with only 3.5% of all holes drilled at Mt Thirsty penetrating deeper than 100 metres, also noting Galileo’s discovery hole was from 144 metres downhole.
Subsequent to the end of the June Quarter, the MTJV was successful in completing a heritage survey and a Program of Work (PoW) for an initial 5,000 metre RC and diamond drilling program to investigate south-eastern extensions to the prospective geological horizon identified by Galileo.

Project consolidation discussions are still ongoing for the Mt Thirsty with JV partner Greenstone Resources Ltd. The Companies are assessing several options to simplify the current ownership structure to support the next development phase of the Project. The principal objective of any outcome is to provide a dedicated management team capable of advancing the Project to a final construction decision, as well ensuring the respective shareholders of Greenstone and Conico retain long-term exposure to the Project.

1.2.1. Planning for 2022 Field Season
==> picture [454 x 506] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 Prospects within the Ryberg Project area on top of recently acquired Total Magnetic Intensity.
The Ryberg Polymetallic Project (Figure 3) covers 4,521km[2] on the east coast of Greenland, 365km west of Iceland. It contains multiple prospects that are prospective for accumulations of magmatic sulphide mineralisation, with known occurrences of Ni-Cu-Co-Pd-Au.
6 Conico Ltd ASX: CNJ F:BDD
==> picture [198 x 47] intentionally omitted <==
Planning for the 2022 field season at the Ryberg Project was completed during the Quarter following on from 2021 activities that consisted of drilling and a regional magnetic-radiometric survey. This year’s proposed exploration will consist of drilling only, and is set to commence in June, persisting until at least the end of September.
Conico personnel have focused on interpretation of existing data, particularly the inclusion of the 2021 magnetic-radiometric geophysical survey, to fine-tune drill locations for this year. This data was not available for the 2021 drill programme and has given considerable insight.
Contracts have been received from key logistical suppliers and personnel will be stationed on an onshore camp. Three diamond drill rigs and fuel are already on site, with only minimal equipment required to be imported, that will include a handheld XRF to aid mineralisation identification in real-time. Operational efficiency should improve this year due to the easing of Covid-19 related travel restrictions and more stable climatic conditions earlier in the year.
The Company has also increased its compliment of staff, welcoming exploration manager Thomas Sant to the team, and an additional four geologists. A laboratory in Ireland will also be utilised to improve assay turnaround, and a broadband internet terminal brought to site to ensure regular market updates can be provided from the field.
1.2.2. Regional Magnetic-Radiometric Geophysical Survey
The 2021 regional magnetic-radiometric geophysical survey (Figure 3) completed 24,315-line kilometres in an E-W orientation at 200m line spacing, and further refined the Miki and Sortekap, identifying previously unknown structural and lithological trends. This data should assist with existing datasets to fine-tune drill targeting for 2022.
New prospects (figures 3 and 4) identified from this geophysical program which are now the subject of ground truthing and possible drilling over 2022 include.
==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
- Pyramid : This target manifests itself as a gossanous rock with a prominent magnetic signature. The magnetic data shows a zone of magnetite destruction immediately to the west of the larger southern intrusion that may indicate a zone of hydrothermal alteration.
==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
- Quest , a roughly circular, pipe-like magnetic anomaly within a surface depression. It may represent an eroded mafic-ultramafic intrusion that is considered prospective for precious and base metals. Historic stream sediment sampling in the vicinity yielded anomalous results for chrome, nickel, and copper.

Qiterpiaaneq ; interpreted to be a pipe-like intrusion with a surface expression of ~15km[2] , dipping to the southeast. It lies adjacent to an interpreted crustal-scale feature, adding further support to the interpretation that it is an intrusion that migrated up a major structure. Landsat 8 infrared bands indicate the presence of distinct clay-rich zones in the host

lithologies that may indicate alteration associated with its emplacement. If Qiterpiaaneq does represent a large mafic-ultramafic intrusion, then it is prospective for precious and base metal magmatic sulphide mineralisation. Ground truthing of this anomaly will be undertaken in late July – early August 2022.
1.3. Mestersvig Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag Project, Greenland (100% owned) 1.3.1. Planning for 2022 Field Season
The Mestersvig Project covers 1,447km[2] on the east coast of Greenland, 640km north of Iceland. It contains multiple prospects that are prospective for accumulations of vein and strata-bound sulphide mineralisation, with known occurrences of Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag. This includes the historic Blyklippen Mine that produced 545,000 tonnes of ore @ 9.9% zinc and 9.3% lead between 19561962 that is situated within the tenement.
The Company is well placed to conduct activities at Mestersvig in 2022, with planning completed and permits in place. Personnel and drill rigs were proposed to be transported to Mestersvig (from the Ryberg Project) at the beginning of August, however the delay incurred by sea ice off the coast of Ryberg in June necessitated modification with the Company since purchasing two diamond drill rigs and mobilising the Mestersvig team ahead of schedule in July. Drilling is scheduled to commence late July and persist until the end of September. Fuel and accommodation are already on site, as are a harbour and an airstrip at the nearby (<5km) Mestersvig airbase.
Drilling will focus on extensions to the historic Blyklippen Mine, toward the Sortebjerg Prospect, a strike length of ~13km that has not previously been drill-tested (figure 5). Off-season work by Company personnel has focused on identifying the location of the vein, utilising a combination of historic drilling, satellite imagery and geophysics.
