Figure 6: Cross Section of DKDD0017
Drilling in the south eastern area of Rosie (previously known as Nariz), intersected massive, semi-massive, stringer and disseminated sulphides 60m below the deepest drillhole. These two intersections (DKDD0028 & DKDD0029) are beyond the current indicated resource and will add tonnes to the resource when updated. Both holes were cased with PVC for downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying. Unfortunately, hole DKDD0029 was blocked and could not be surveyed, however DKDD0028 remained open and was surveyed. The DHEM response in DKDD0028 indicated there is likely significant continuation of mineralisation below and to the east of the hole. The large wavelength of the anomaly suggests that mineralisation

is extensive, as does the intersection of massive sulphides in DKDD0029, located 90m to the east.
The modelled plates show the most conductive mineralisation is seen to extend a significant distance from the drillhole, at least 100 metres below and to the east. The very long wavelength anomaly is not fully defined by the hole suggesting mineralisation could extend even further than this but cannot be modelled without deeper drilling. The mineralisation is known to extend to at least drillhole DKDD0029 and the DHEM plate does not quite extend to this hole.

Figure 7: Long Section of Rosie South-East with modelled plates.
The program at Rosie Nickel Project was designed to increase confidence in mineralisation in the upper north area, test at depth below the south-eastern area (previously known as Nariz) and collect PGE rich oxide material from directly above the sulphide deposit for assay and PGE recovery/metallurgical testwork. These three areas were identified from the Rosie Nickel Sulphide Scoping Study as having potential upside by either impacting early cash flow or

extending the life of mine (see ASX announcement 28th April 2021). At the end of the quarter the company was still waiting for assays from the two drillholes drilled in the south-eastern
area.

Mineral Resources
The Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for Rosie is 2.56 million tonnes at 3.14% nickel equivalent (NiEq) (reported in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code). The resource estimate is reported at >1% NiEq. Over 66% of the Resource has been classified as Indicated and the mineralisation is open in all directions. This MRE was completed using January 2021 Spot Prices.

- (1) Assumptions for the nickel equivalent are: Prices (in USD) $8.00/lb Ni, $3.65/lb Cu, $15.30/lb Co, $1,100/oz Pt, $2,300/oz Pd and $15,500/oz Rh. Recovery assumptions from metallurgical test work are: Pentlandite domain 96.9% Ni, 99.5% Cu, 95.1% Co, 78.2% Pt, 97.6% Pd and 83.4% Rh. Violarite domain 88.7% Ni, 94.5% Cu, 88.5% Co, 57.6% Pt, 87.3% Pd and 64.8% Rh.
This resource includes the Nariz mineralisation, discovered by DKM in 2014. The Mineral Resource contained metal is 49,100 tonnes of nickel, 10,600 tonnes of copper, 1,400 tonnes of cobalt and over 205,000 oz of total PGEs.
The resource includes a reportable nickel equivalent number after metallurgical work was completed to determine recoveries (see ASX announcement 8[th] July 2020 & 10[th] July 2020). It is the opinion of DKM that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
The total JORC compliant nickel resource for the Bulge Area (Rosie & C2) stands at 87,100 tonnes of nickel, 12,900 tonnes of copper and 231,000 ounces of PGE’s .

Regional Exploration
Regional exploration has been ongoing throughout the quarter. Multiple new targets have been generated creating a significant and robust pipeline of organic opportunities.
Granted tenements:
-
Stephens – base metals VMS project in the Gullewa-Koolanooka Greenstone Belt with a number of historical significant drill intercepts
-
Doris – uranium tenement within the Narryer Terrane, 125km north of Meekatharra
-
Cunyu – project covering the entire Merrie Greenstone Belt, early stage exploration
Tenement applications:
-
Eagle – gold project in the Tanami Region, two small non JORC gold resource and numerous other significant intercepts
-
Lake Barlee – gold project surrounding Halleys East Gold Mine, 200km north of Southern Cross
-
Fisher South – gold and nickel project at the southern end of the Fisher Greenstone Belt
-
Mulga Tank North – gold project within the Minigwal Greenstone Belt with several gold in regolith anomalies
Ongoing Strategy
Duketon remains well positioned to drive value from three approaches:
-
Expand/Study Nickel Resources - Complete mining study and target extensions to Rosie C2 and the greater area for Ni-Cu-PGE’s
-
New Projects – Opportunistically acquire advanced Gold or Nickel projects with inherent upside that can be unlocked through technical and/or commercial means
-
New Tenure – Opportunistically acquire new tenure via opportunistic applications or by simple/low-cost commercial means.
