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

HIGHLIGHTS

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

  • Follow-up air-core (AC) drilling program completed in the highly prospective Julimar region of WA, subsequent to quarter-end.

  • Drilling was designed to test the extensive differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion that lies between Chalice Mining Ltd’s (ASX: CHN) Julimar discovery to the south and Caspin Resources Ltd’s (ASX: CPN) Yarawindah Brook Project to the north.

  • Assay results are pending. Results are expected to assist with the definition of priority targets for extensive ground Electromagnetic (EM) surveys and subsequent Reverse Circulation (RC)/diamond drilling in the coming months.

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

  • Diamond drilling commenced during the quarter to test two significant Cobar-type off-hole Electromagnetic (EM) conductors.

  • Drilling is in progress with results expected in the coming month.

Junee Copper-Gold Project, NSW (100%)

  • Recent exploration results have further upgraded the potential of the Nangus Road Prospect.

  • Wide-spaced reconnaissance AC drilling (400mN x 200mE) and RC drilling intersected broadly anomalous, coincident copper-gold bedrock mineralisation over a strike length of ~ 2km.

  • A follow-up IP survey was also completed, identifying multiple strong chargeability anomalies beneath the copper-gold soil anomaly.

  • Higher gold grades of up to 3.5g/t Au were returned from re-assaying of previously reported wide-spaced AC drilling, subsequent to quarter-end.

Corporate

  • Strongly supported A$7.97 million capital raise completed through a share placement at $0.32 per share.

  • The raising increases DevEx’s cash balance to ~A$16.6 million, ensuring that the Company is well-funded to progress its accelerated exploration timetables.

  • Exploration continues to gather momentum across several prospective targets in three highly-endowed regions – Julimar (WA), the Lachlan Fold Belt (NSW) and the Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (NT).

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

During the June Quarter, DevEx continued to progress a systematic and multi-pronged exploration program targeting intrusion-related nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and platinum group elements (PGE) discoveries at the Sovereign Project, which is strategically located within the highly prospective Julimar Complex.

The Julimar Complex hosts the globally significant Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE discovery owned by Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN), located ~40km to the south of the Sovereign Project (Figure 1).

An expanded air-core (AC) drilling program totalling 318 holes for 8,456m was completed during the Quarter. A total of 242 holes (6,491m) were completed on the western side of the Sovereign Magnetic Complex (E70/3405), where DevEx is currently exploring under an Earn-In Agreement with Australian Silica Quartz Group Ltd (‘ASQ’) (ASX Announcement – 1[st] June 2020).

In addition, a review of the previous Airborne EM (AEM) survey and ground follow-up undertaken by the Company’s geophysical consultants, Newexco Pty Ltd, found that the AEM survey would have been depth restrictive and unlikely to have tested the full vertical extent of the prospective intrusion. As a result, Newexco has recommended that a more extensive programme of ground EM is required to effectively test for massive sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation within the maficultramafic intrusion.

In light of the encouraging results returned from the previous broad-spaced AC drilling which confirmed the presence of an extensive differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion and the depth limitations of the earlier AEM survey, follow-up drilling was warranted to map the near-surface geometry of the mafic-ultramafic intrusion and test several Ni-Cu-PGE targets where anomalous copper (Cu), palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) was identified.

The remaining 76 holes (1,965m) were completed on the eastern half of the Sovereign Magnetic Complex (E70/3565), within DevEx’s 100%-owned tenure. This first-pass AC drilling was conducted to test the newly-identified surface Pd+Pt geochemical anomaly, which had never been previously explored.

Assays were pending at the time of finalising this report, with results expected in the coming month.

Results, and a more enhanced geological understanding, are expected to assist with definition of priority targets within the broader differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion which will pave the way for an expanded ground electromagnetic (EM) survey and subsequent RC/diamond drilling in the coming months.

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

During the Quarter DevEx met its requirements to earn 80% in the Wilga Downs Project (see ASX Announcement on 20[th] September 2020 for further details).

DevEx is exploring the Wilga Downs Project for copper-gold mineralisation similar in style to other major deposits in the prolific Cobar Basin region, including Glencore’s CSA Copper Mine, the Peak Gold Mine and the Great Cobar Copper-Gold Mines.

These deposit types show isolated magnetic highs which typically map pyrrhotite (magnetic iron sulphide) either surrounding or directly associated with the copper-gold and other base metal mineralisation. The magnetic highs and geology at Wilga exhibit many similarities to other goldpolymetallic deposits in the region.

Encouraging assays were received during the previous Quarter from the first diamond drill hole (20WD001). Drilling encountered a 13-metre zone of vein to disseminated pyrrhotite mineralisation with minor copper sulphides (chalcopyrite), close to the centre of the modelled magnetic high (Figure 3). Of most interest was a narrow intercept of semi-massive pyrrhotite grading 1m @ 0.7% Cu and 0.7g/t Au from 551.6m.

The coincident anomalies lie on a fault contact between the Cobar Supergroup and the older Girilambone Group – a primary exploration target horizon within the Cobar Basin.

A follow-up down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey was conducted, during the Quarter, to test for off-hole conductors in proximity to the diamond drill hole.

DHEM confirmed the presence of a large 150m long x 250m, off-hole EM conductor 40m east of the recently drilled hole (Figure 3, Conductor A), providing a compelling drill target for ‘Cobarstyle’ massive sulphide copper-gold mineralisation

Both in-hole and near-hole DHEM conductors (Conductors C and B) are also modelled and appear to be associated with the semi-massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite zone discussed above.

==> picture [468 x 346] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Section A showing DHEM Conductors A, B and C from diamond hole 20WD001 and associated modelled magnetic and gravity highs.

An additional off-hole conductor (Conductor D) was also recognised in a DHEM survey of diamond drill hole 16WD02 (drilled in 2016). The conductor is located north of hole 16WD02 and modelled to dip to the north (see Figure 3).

An additional Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) Survey was also completed during the Quarter, covering both magnetic anomalies. No additional conductors were identified.

Diamond drilling has now commenced with two holes designed to test Conductors A and D.

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

The Junee Project lies within the highly endowed copper-gold province of the Macquarie Arc, a geological domain which hosts numerous major porphyry copper-gold deposits including the world-class Cadia-Ridgeway and Northparkes mines.

Exploration results generated during the Quarter support the potential for a porphyry copper-gold system in the project area.

During the Quarter, DevEx completed wide-spaced (400mN x 200mE) air-core drilling designed to test the northern margin of the Nangus Road magnetic anomaly.

Results identified broadly anomalous and coincident copper-gold bedrock mineralisation (up to 0.5g/t Au and 731ppm Cu in 4m composite samples) over several east-west traverses spaced at 400m and remained open to the north and south over the main magnetic anomaly (ASX Announcement – 26[th] May 2021).

Subsequent to Quarter end, analysis of the one metre intervals within the composite samples returned higher gold and copper grades of up to 3.5g/t Au and 1,410ppm Cu.

The anomalous copper-gold bedrock results are also supported by other anomalous pathfinder elements consistent with porphyry copper-gold systems, including molybdenum, bismuth, selenium, and tellurium.

New IP Survey lines and anomalies are also shown. The copper and gold bedrock anomaly lies within and along the northern margin of the monzonite anomaly and remains open to the north. (see Figure 7 for location).

Following on from this AC drilling, six broad-spaced RC holes were drilled to test the main magnetic anomaly further to the south. This drilling was reconnaissance in nature and designed to expand the previous AC drilling over the main magnetic anomaly. Drilling encountered altered monzonite in all holes, with anomalous gold mineralisation (up to 284ppb Au) seen in the RC drilling immediately south of the previous AC drilling. Overall, the bedrock copper-gold anomaly has been extended to a strike length of ~2 kilometres.

In addition, a first-pass Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey tested the bedrock copper-gold anomaly on 200mN spaced traverses (Figure 6), identifying multiple strong chargeability highs beneath the Nangus Road copper-gold bedrock anomaly.

Both the shallow, ~2km long, bedrock copper-gold mineralization and the underlying IP chargeability anomalies represent compelling exploration drill targets.

DevEx is planning to commence drilling in early Q4 2021 once current and forecast wet weather abates and access is achievable.

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

With ongoing improvements in the uranium market, DevEx has been reviewing its extensive datasets collected since the early 1960s following the discovery, and eventual mining of the highgrade Nabarlek Uranium Deposit (production – 24Mlbs @ 1.84% U3O8)[6] .

With more than 500Mlbs of U3O8 defined[7] throughout the Alligator Rivers Uranium Province, DevEx holds a dominant ground position of granted and tenement applications comprising +4500km[2] and centred on the historical Nabarlek Uranium Mine.

This review is expected to be complete over the coming month and will see renewed field exploration commence in Q3 2021 to follow up several new and under-explored uranium prospects surrounding the historical high-grade Nabarlek Uranium.

5. Dundas, WA (100%)

Field exploration at the Dundas Project, WA included the commencement of auger sampling to follow up historical gold in auger anomalies within the project. The auger sampling has defined a +1km long gold anomaly which has only been partially tested by previous drilling. The anomaly is open to the south where is crosses into the Dundas Nature Reserve (DNR). The Company is currently preparing applications to submit for approval to carry out exploration into the DNR.

6. OTHER PROJECTS

No significant activities were completed on the Basin Creek Gold Project, NSW, and the Bogong Copper-Gold Project, NSW, during the Quarter.

7. RESPONSE TO COVID-19

COVID-19 continues to have minimal impact on the Company’s fieldwork and activities.

DevEx remains governed by company-wide protocols consistent with the current advice from the Government and health authorities to proactively manage the potential impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company, and is regularly monitoring this advice to ensure that its protocols remain relevant.

All necessary health and safety precautions are being taken as part of this process of returning to the office. The Company remains well funded to continue operations throughout this period.
