PGE ASSAYS SUPPORT STRONG NICKEL RESULTS AT LAKE PERCY
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Additional geochemical analysis conducted on Lake Percy samples[1] return Pt and Pd in fresh rock providing further support for presence of fertile nickel sulphide system
-
RC drilling has commenced at D3 and D5 nickel prospects at Widgiemooltha Project[2]
-
Dynamic continues to execute its systematic approach to multi-commodity exploration across its highly prospective project portfolio in Western Australia
Dynamic Metals Limited ( ASX: DYM ) (“ Dynamic ” or “ the Company ”), a nickel, lithium and gold explorer, is pleased to announce an update to its nickel exploration activities at the Lake Percy and Widgiemooltha Projects in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Lake Percy Project
The Lake Percy Project is located approximately 120km to the west of Norseman, along the Hyden-Norseman Road (Figure 2). The Company’s tenements are centred around the northern extension of the Lake Johnston greenstone belt, which hosts the Emily Ann and Maggie Hays nickel mines and the more recent Medcalf spodumene discovery by Charger Metals[3] .
In April 2023 the Company drilled a total of 102 holes for 6,372m using a combination of Air Core (AC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) (Annexure B). The purpose of the program was to obtain fresh rock samples for geochemical analysis and utilise the results to improve the geological understanding and refine Dynamic’s nickel sulphide targeting across the ~10km strike extent of the western ultramafic unit.
Multiple significant assay results were previously reported[1] by the Company at the LP1 and LP2 targets including:
-
DYR032 16m @ 1.11% Ni from 32m downhole and 645ppm Cu
-
DYR029 26m @ 0.62% Ni from 20m downhole and 145ppm Cu
-
DYR031 6m @ 0.47% Ni from 40m downhole and 249ppm Cu
-
DYA028 46m @ 0.70% Ni from 18m downhole, incl. 10m @1.14% Ni
-
DYR038 22m @ 0.78% Ni from 6m downhole, incl. 8m @ 1.15% Ni
-
DYA029 10m @ 0.87% Ni from 28m downhole, incl. 4m @ 1.19% Ni
-
DYR042 14m @ 0.71% Ni from 34m downhole, incl. 4m @ 1.08% Ni
-
DYR028 12m @ 0.68% Ni from 26m downhole, incl. 2m @ 1.01% Ni
In addition to these significant results from the weathering profile, bottom of hole (fresh rock) geochemistry from DYR065 at the LP2 target returned 0.35%Ni, 236ppm Cu and 38% MgO, suggestive of a fertile nickel sulphide system.
LP2 Target PGE Assaying
A key component in the mineralogy of massive sulphide nickel deposits is the presence of Platinum Group Elements (PGE) including platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), in addition to high MgO content of the ultramafic. The Company submitted the fresh rock bottom of hole sample from DYR065 for PGE assaying which returned:
• 2m @ 160ppb Pt & 43 ppb Pd in addition to 0.35% Ni, 236 ppm Cu, 38% MgO (Figure 2, Annexure A) The significance of these results in relation to the background Pt and Pd levels at Lake Percy is visually represented by the graph in Figure 3, which clearly demonstrates how anomalous these results are compared to other data points collected in both the regolith and fresh rock profile in high MgO ultramafic samples where the average Pt + Pd concentration is 4 ppb.
In addition, historic geophysical surveys are being reprocessed over this area to guide the next phase of deeper drilling in the search for massive sulphide nickel in this underexplored greenstone belt.

Widgiemooltha Project
D3 and D5 Prospects
A rig and crew have commenced an RC campaign at the D3 and D5 prospects[2] at Widgiemooltha, with up to 12 drill holes planned to test the two nickel targets (Figure 4). Drilling is anticipated to be complete within one week.

Sunday Soak Prospect
In June the Company completed a 16-hole AC program at the Sunday Soak nickel prospect in Widgiemooltha[4] . The low MgO content of the ultramafic and lack of significant nickel assays means the prospect has been downgraded in terms of its potential to host massive sulphide nickel. Details regarding the program are attached in Annexure C and D.
