Exploration Activity

Drilling at Mt Nakru Copper-Gold project

During March and April 2017 Coppermoly announced the results from its recent drilling campaign at the Company’s most advanced project, EL 1043 Mt Nakru Copper-Gold project. The project area hosts two known mineralisation zones: Nakru 1 and adjacent Nakru 2 prospects where all previous drilling, including the most recent drill holes, has intersected high grade near-surface copper mineralisation. Nakru 2 is located only 1,500m west of the Nakru 1 prospect.

All assay results from the most recent drilling campaign at Mt Nakru have now been received. These results are currently being assessed by technical experts, and further announcements will follow as the modelling progresses.

Highlights from these results include: Nakru 1:

• NAK11606 intersected 56.00m @ 1.95% Cu from 60.00m

• NAK11607 intersected 49.66m @ 1.84% Cu and 2.66/t Au from 74.00m

• NAK11604 intersected 50.40m @ 1.45% Cu from 114.00m excluding 3.6m mafic intrusives

• NAK11611 intersected 19.10m @ 3.64% Cu and 0.2 g/t Au from 30.00m

• NAK11602 intersected 55.20m @ 1.11% Cu from 54.00m including 4.00m @ 1.99g/t Au excluding 14.8m mafic intrusives

Nakru 2:

• NAK21603 intersected 32.00m @ 2.58% Cu from 82.00m

• NAK21605 intersected 10.37m @ 3.75% Cu from 15.63m

• NAK21602 intersected 38.00m @ 0.87% Cu from 92.00m including 8.00m @ 1.58% Cu

March 2017 Quarterly Activity Report

A total of nine diamond core holes were drilled at Nakru 1 and five diamond core holes at Nakru 2 during the campaign for a total of 2,900.2 metres over the 14 drill holes. The drilling campaign was part of an infill drilling program aimed at upgrading the resource at Nakru 1 and testing the extension of mineralisation at Nakru 2.

The Nakru 1 drilling has identified high grade copper and gold mineralisation extending over significant intersections only being interrupted by later stage mafic dykes and sills. These intrusives are easily identified and will not dilute the mineralised material during extraction.

The geometry of the mineralisation, and relatively flat geological contacts intersected in the drilling, indicate that this deposit may be associated with a volcanogenic hosted massive sulphide style. The breadth and depth of this mineralised envelope is yet to be defined and will be tested with further drilling.

The Nakru 1 deposit also contains a supergene enrichment blanket adjacent to the base of oxidation where secondary enrichment of the sulphides, particularly copper in the form of chalcocite has taken place. This varies in thickness from a metre to over 10 metres in some parts. This zone is relatively close to the surface, is higher in grade and is relatively soft.

In addition to this, later stage quartz sulphide veins have possibly cut through the previously mineralised zones adding more grade, and gold credits to the prospect.

The Nakru 1 prospect remains open, and further exploration is required to uncover the potential tonnage and grade of this deposit.

The recent Nakru 2 drilling has identified mineralised downhole intervals of over 30 metres at greater than 2.5% copper. The style and shape of this mineralisation tends to indicate that this is related to a volcanogenic massive sulphide style deposit, and is backed up by the level of sulphur in the assays received. As previously observed, the mineralisation in the primary zone at the Nakru 2 prospect is dominated by disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite hosted in a silicified pumice and breccia unit.

This deposit also contains a subtle supergene enrichment blanket similar to Nakru 1 where secondary enrichment of the sulphides, particularly copper in the form of chalcocite occurs. Previous drilling also identified this layer.

The drill holes also intersected bands of elevated zinc and silver within in the massive sulphide unit. This adds credence to the possibility that Nakru 2 is a style related to volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation.

The prospect remains open, and further exploration is required to uncover the potential tonnage and grade of this deposit.

Figure 1 is a plan of Nakru 1 indicating the location of all the drill holes completed on that prospect to date. Sections through the completed holes can be seen on Figures 2, 3 and 4. These highlight elevated concentrations of copper and gold including the supergene enriched blanket intersected in the drilling.

Figure 5 is a plan of Nakru 2 indicating the location of all the drill holes completed there to date. Sections through the completed holes can be seen on Figures 6, 7 and 8. These highlight elevated concentrations of copper intersected in the drilling.

Current Exploration Portfolio

The Company’s current exploration licences, all located on New Britain Island, PNG:

	PERIOD
PROJECT	ACQUIRED	EXPIRY	AREA	LOCATION
EL 1043 Mt Nakru*	Jan 2008	Dec 2016†	47km²	West New Britain
EL 2379 Simuku*	Jan 2008	Sep 2017	122km²	West New Britain
EL 1782 Powell	Sep 2013	Sep 2017	378km²	East New Britain
ELA 2514 Makmak	Pending	NA	269km²	West and East New Britain

• Two of the Company’s exploration licences, EL 1043 Mt Nakru and EL 2379 Simuku, together known as the West New Britain Projects ( WNB Projects ), were previously subject to a farm-in agreement with Barrick (PD) Australia Ltd ( Barrick ), a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation. Barrick earned a 72% interest in the WNB Projects by spending more than $20 million on exploration. In July 2013 Coppermoly entered into an agreement with Barrick to reacquire 100% ownership of the WNB Projects’ licences on a staged basis. Barrick still holds a nominal 28% interest in the WNB Projects, which the Company has a binding agreement to acquire, completion of which will be effected on the payment of a further $4.5 million to Barrick within 6 months following the commencement of commercial production at the WNB Projects. Barrick do not have to contribute any further costs for exploration or development of the WNB Projects nor are they entitled to any profits from the projects.

† An application to renew EL 1043 has been submitted and all legal and other requirements have been met for the renewal. The Company is not aware of any reason why the exploration licence will not be renewed.

Exercise of Unlisted Options

On 30 March 2017 Coppermoly announced that Ever Leap Services Limited ( Ever Leap ) had elected to exercise all the outstanding unlisted options that they held at the time.

A total of 333,333,333 new fully paid ordinary shares in Coppermoly ( Shares ), raising $666,667 before costs, were issued pursuant to the exercise of all unlisted options held by Ever Leap. All unlisted options held by Ever Leap were issued in April 2016 and were exercisable at any time between 1 February 2017 and 31 January 2020. The unlisted options included 250,000,000 COYOR options issued for $0.004 per option with no exercise price and 83,333,333 COYOS options issued at no issue price and with a $0.008 (0.8 cents) exercise price.

At the time, Coppermoly Non-executive Director, Dr Wanfu Huang, said:

“The decision by Ever Leap to exercise all of their unlisted options is another welcomed endorsement for the Company’s strategy, particularly since the options had almost 3 more years before they expired. These funds will allow us to continue our exploration efforts, including planning the next phase of exploration to define economic resources on the Mt Nakru project.”

Expiration of unlisted options

21,963,933 unlisted options held by Barrick expired unexercised on 25 March 2017. The unlisted options were issued in return for Barrick agreeing to waive a condition precedent to amending the Reacquisition Agreement which required a successful raising of a minimum of $1.2M by 9 January 2015. The options were issued for no consideration in March 2015. Each option was exercisable into one Share at any time prior to 25 March 2017 at an exercise price of $0.03.
