ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

PRIORITY NICKEL TARGET DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT WIDGIEMOOLTHA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • POW approved for high priority RC drilling at recently granted Democrat tenement[1] , part of the Company’s flagship Widgiemooltha Project

  • 12-hole program designed to test interpreted fertile basal contact at nickel prospects D3 and D5

  • Drill rig and exploration crew to mobilise to site by end of August

Dynamic Metals Limited ( ASX: DYM ) (“ Dynamic ” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce upcoming exploration plans at the Widgiemooltha Project (“ Widgiemooltha ” or the “ Project ”) in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia.

The Company is in final preparation stages for Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the D3 and D5 nickel prospects, at the Democrat area of the Widgiemooltha Project (Figure 1). The Widgiemooltha Project is a significant land holding in a world class nickel province where Dynamic is focussed on realising the potential of underexplored areas. Exploration Licence 15/1753 was granted in June[1 ] and subsequently Dynamic applied for a Programme of Work (PoW), approved in July.

A total of 12 RC holes are planned to be drilled for approximately 1,600m with intention to directly test for fresh rock nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with the ‘basal contact’ at the two prospects. In the context of exploring for Kambalda komatiite type massive sulphide nickel deposits, the basal contact position is a key vectoring tool and is best described as the location where the komatiite stratigraphy is in contact with the underlying basalt.

The Company has interpreted the position of the basal contact at D3 and D5 through field work completed to date, additionally informed by aeromagnetic and surface geochemistry. Confirming this interpretation through RC drilling is considered a high priority for Dynamic due to the strength of coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies in a globally significant nickel province.

The program is expected to commence by the end of August and estimated to be complete before the quarter end.

Democrat Background

Exploration Licence 15/1753 (‘Democrat’) is located within 20km of several Kambalda nickel projects including the Lanfranchi, Cameron, Stockwell, Jan, Foster, and Miitel deposits (Figure 1 & 2). Kambalda is well established as a world class nickel province, with high grade nickel sulphides being produced since it was first discovered in the 1960s[2] .

Democrat is located in a structurally complex area with the major regional Republican Thrust fault bisecting the tenement. It is bounded to the east by the Boulder-Lefroy Fault and to the west by the Bluebush ultramafic sequence. Locally, the geology is dominated by meta-sedimentary rocks to the north of the Republican Thrust, and a sequence of mafic and ultramafic rocks to the south.

In assessing the prospectivity of the tenement, the Company reviewed historic mapping and geophysical, geochemical and drilling datasets in the context of the Kambalda nickel ore deposit model and generated several targets for follow up. A key component of advanced nickel targeting is the identification of a fertile

basal contact between the komatiite and the underlying country rock which Dynamic was able to infer from the historic datasets mentioned above.

Observations from field reconnaissance activities carried out by the Dynamic team confirmed the validity of the interpreted basal contact, with the D3 and D5 prospects determined as high priorities for testing.

The D5 prospect presents as an exciting drill target with historic drilling establishing the potential for nickel mineralisation, with 20m @ 0.54% Ni returned in RD122[2] . More recently Mincor Resources’ (now Wyloo) drilling along strike to the south at the Patriot Prospect confirmed the fertility of the ultramafic with 2m @ 0.67% from 107m (MRC750) and 13m @ 0.64% from 19m and 16m @ 0.4% from 49m (MRC749)[3] . Importantly it should be noted that the geophysical signature at Dynamic’s D5 prospect is much stronger than at Patriot. Dynamic plans to drill six west dipping angled RC holes on five sections to test 1.3km strike of the interpreted basal contact.

The D3 prospect is located in the middle of the tenement where six holes will be drilled on three sections to test 400m of interpreted basal contact at depths up to 150m. Anomalous nickel identified in historic WMC drilling combined with magnetic interpretations and soil geochemistry provide the target rationale at D3.

Next Steps

The large regional lithium soil sampling program at Pioneer Dome (Widgiemooltha Project) is expected to finish this week with assays expected within two months[4] .

The Company is still awaiting assays for the Sunday Soak, Higginsville and Mandilla air core (AC) programs which were drilled late last quarter[1] with results anticipated to be received shortly.

ABOUT DYNAMIC METALS

Dynamic Metals (ASX: DYM) is a dedicated

exploration company focused on advancing a highly prospective portfolio of future facing critical minerals projects in Australia. The Company completed a successful IPO in January 2023 raising $7 million to fully fund an aggressive exploration program across the portfolio.

Dynamic’s flagship project, Widgiemooltha, covers an extensive area of c.880km[2] extending between Norseman and Kambalda. The region is well known for its numerous nickel and gold mines, but more recently has emerged in significance for its lithium mineralisation and prospectivity.
