Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 30[th] September 2021

HIGHLIGHTS

Sovereign Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, WA (Earn-In and 100% Tenement)

  • An extensive differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion was defined by air-core (AC) drilling, extending over a strike length of 12km.

  • The Sovereign intrusion is interpreted to be flat-lying, with geology consistent with the upper portion of the Julimar mafic-ultramafic intrusion, as seen on the western edge of Chalice Mining’s Gonneville intrusion.

  • An extensive ground-based electromagnetic (EM) survey commenced subsequent to Quarter-end to test for massive sulphide nickel-copper-PGE (Ni-Cu-PGE) mineralisation.

  • Stratigraphic diamond drilling also commenced subsequent to Quarter-end to test the geometry and extent of the underlying ultramafic rocks within the larger intrusion.

Junee Copper-Gold Project, NSW (100%)

  • Preparations are well underway to drill the Nangus Road copper-gold (Cu-Au) prospect, with two drill rigs contracted and expected to arrive at the end of October.

  • A combination of ~16,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) / diamond and AC drilling is planned to test a shallow, 2km long bedrock anomaly with gold (Au) and copper (Cu) grades of up to 3.5g/t Au and 1,410ppm Cu identified from broad-spaced drilling.

  • The drilling will also test several induced polarisation (IP) anomalies identified beneath this extensive bedrock anomaly to evaluate the potential for porphyry Cu-Au mineralisation.

Nabarlek Uranium Project, NT (Earn-In and 100%)

  • DevEx’s extensive tenement package, situated in the heart of the world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP), is centred on and includes the former Nabarlek Uranium Mine (past production of 24Mlbs at 1.84% U3O8).

  • Multiple new uranium (U308), copper and gold exploration targets surrounding the historical Nabarlek Uranium Mine were identified as part of a technical review of the exploration opportunity at the Company’s Nabarlek Uranium Project.

  • An extensive exploration program, including drilling, is planned to take place in the coming 12 months over multiple prospects.

Wilga Downs Gold-Base Metal Project, NSW (80% and 100% Tenements)

  • Diamond drilling tested two off-hole electromagnetic conductors, intersecting massive pyrrhotite with associated disseminated base metal mineralisation.

Corporate

  • DevEx remains well-funded to continue its multi-pronged exploration programs in WA, NSW and the NT with $13.98M in cash at Quarter-end.

1. SOVEREIGN NICKEL-COPPER-PGE PROJECT, WA (Earn-In and 100% Tenement)

During the September Quarter, reconnaissance AC drilling continued to map an extensive differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion within the Sovereign Project, with 318 holes for 8,456m extending the strike of the intrusion to at least 12km in length.

Elevated palladium + platinum (PGE), multi-element geochemistry and petrology are all consistent with the upper portions of a differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion, ranging from leuco-gabbro to mela-norite, gabbronorite and olivine pyroxenite (metamorphic equivalent).

These rocks are likely analogous to the western margin of Chalice Mining Limited’s Gonneville Intrusion (located 40km to the south), where gabbronorite and pyroxenite rocks form the upper differentiated layer with the lower, more-Ni-Cu-PGE rich serpentinite (harzburgite) lying beneath and forming the lower layer.[1]

However, while the Gonneville Intrusion appears to be folded on its side – therefore exposing the lower Ni-Cu-PGE rich serpentinite at the surface – the Sovereign mafic-ultramafic Intrusion is currently interpreted to be flat lying, with the more prospective ultramafic rocks (serpentinite) lying beneath the pyroxenite and mela-gabbronorite. At Sovereign, DevEx has yet to drill beneath the upper differentiated mela-gabbronorite and pyroxenite layer to determine the position of any lower serpentinite that could occur beneath the pyroxenite layer.

During the Quarter, the Company’s geophysical consultant, Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd (Newexco), reviewed the previous Airborne EM (AEM) survey and limited ground follow-up EM that was completed earlier this year.

Newexco concluded that the AEM survey would have been depth-restrictive and therefore unlikely to have tested the full vertical extent of the prospective intrusion, including the more prospective ultramafic which may underly the gabbroic rocks.

As a result, subsequent to Quarter-end the Company commenced a more extensive programme of ground-based EM. This ground EM survey is designed to test for massive sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation with priority given to several windows where the lower ultramafic and melagabbronorites have been exposed near-surface.

==> picture [378 x 357] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Sovereign Project: DevEx air-core drilling (average hole depth ~26m) has defined an extensive mafic-ultramafic intrusion over 12km long with several windows of underlying metamorphosed pyroxenite and mela-gabbronorite rimmed by elevated palladium and platinum. The shape of the intrusion is interpreted from air-core drilling (including bottom-ofhole multi-element geochemistry), petrology and magnetics.

Subsequent to Quarter-end, the Company commenced a maiden diamond drilling program at Sovereign.

The drilling is designed to garner an understanding of the geometry and extent of the underlying ultramafic rocks and will test beneath the upper differentiated mela-gabbronorite and pyroxenite rocks into the interpreted lower layer. Inversion modelling (third dimension) of the ground gravity and airborne magnetic surveys by the Company’s geophysical consultants, Newexco, has identified priority areas beneath the pyroxenite rocks where the prospective serpentinite may lie. Three stratigraphic diamond holes are currently planned.

2. JUNEE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, NSW (100%)

At the Company’s Junee Copper-Gold Project, preparations to drill the Nangus Road copper-gold prospect are well underway with two drill rigs contracted and expected to arrive at the end of October.

Both RC/diamond and AC drilling are planned to test a shallow, 2km long, copper-gold bedrock anomaly with gold and copper grades of up to 3.5g/t Au and 1,410ppm Cu returned from previous broad-spaced drilling.

In addition, multiple IP anomalies have been identified beneath this extensive copper-gold bedrock anomaly, supporting the potential for underlying sulphide mineralisation. Collectively, these exploration results at Nangus Road strongly support the potential for a porphyry copper-gold system in the area.

The Junee Project lies on the southern extension of the Macquarie Arc of NSW – Australia’s largest porphyry copper-gold terrane.

Both the shallow, 2km long bedrock copper-gold anomaly, and the underlying IP chargeability anomalies, represent compelling exploration drill targets that will be tested in the upcoming campaign.

3. NABARLEK URANIUM-COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, NT (100%)

DevEx’s extensive tenement package at Nabarlek, situated in the heart of Australia’s world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP), is centred on and includes the former Nabarlek Uranium Mine , considered Australia's highest-grade uranium mine with past production of 24Mlbs @ 1.84% U3O8[1] .

The ARUP is considered amongst the world’s most prospective for U3O8 mineralisation, with over 500 million pounds of U3O8 identified in mined and unmined deposits[1,2,3] .

DevEx has recently undertaken a comprehensive technical review of the historical pre- and post- mine exploration data covering the Nabarlek Project area. The review has identified a number of outstanding exploration opportunities for U3O8, copper and gold mineralisation, with exploration activities, including drilling, to span the next 12 months across multiple prospects.

The new targets surround the Nabarlek Mine within the Company’s granted Nabarlek Mining Lease and surrounding exploration tenements (Figure 7).

The targets range from areas located immediately adjacent to the Nabarlek Mine, to drill targets located either down-plunge or along strike from previous high-grade drill intercepts, including:

– Nabarlek South prospect drilling is planned to test the down-plunge potential beneath a cluster of high-grade U3O8 intercepts including:

• NARD6017 25m @ 0.32% U3O8 from 115m

Incl. 2.0m @ 1.0% U3O8 and 3.0m @ 1.0% U3O8

Zeus-to-U40 corridor – early-stage exploration, including drilling is planned to test a U3O8copper-gold corridor from the Zeus to U40 Prospects, where previous drilling encountered high-grade U3O8, Cu and Au mineralisation, including:

• NAD7492 6m @ 7.6% U3O8, 0.7g/t Au, 2.0% Cu from 75m

Other similar U3O8 corridors on the Nabarlek, Gabo and North Faults, all of which appear to control the distribution of uranium mineralisation, as seen at the Overload , Coopers , North Buffalo , Black Bream and KP Prospects.

4. WILGA DOWNS GOLD-BASE METAL PROJECT, NSW (80% and 100% Tenements)

During the Quarter, drilling results were received from two diamond drill holes designed to test two offhole conductors (Conductors A and D).

Both holes intersected massive to semi-massive pyrrhotite with associated disseminated base metal mineralisation at the modelled targets. Hole 21WD01 returned a best intercept of 7.8m @ 1.04% Zn from 404m (Conductor A) and hole 21WD02 returned 3m @ 0.23% Cu from 419m (Conductor D).

The Company is currently undertaking a review of alteration between the holes, together with the base metal variability, in order to identify further potential targets at Wilga Downs.
