ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

WIDGIEMOOLTHA GOLD EXPLORATION UPDATE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dynamic continues to systematically evaluate and prioritise gold exploration targets across its Western Australian portfolio.

  • Priority gold target for immediate exploration identified at Cognac West prospect.

  • Two strong gold soil anomalies defined by recent soil sampling:

  • Field mapping and rock chip sampling progressing;

  • RC drill program to be refined with inputs from field observations.

  • 3D modelling of Chalice South prospect with historic drill data and surface geochemical datasets underway.

  • Dynamic well funded for exploration after receiving $4M from Mineral Resources as part of the Widgiemooltha lithium joint venture[1] .

Dynamic Metals Limited (ASX:DYM) (“ Dynamic ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on gold exploration activities at its Widgiemooltha Project. Dynamic has been advancing gold target generation across its highly prospective goldfields tenement package while also laying the foundation for field testing at its generative projects across Western Australia.

Managing Director, Karen Wellman commented:

“I am excited to share our latest advancements in gold exploration at the Widgiemooltha Project. Our systematic approach has identified promising gold targets at Cognac West and Chalice South, where we are leveraging both historical data and new soil sampling results. The strategic location of our tenements adjacent to major gold producers highlights the potential for significant discoveries.

“With the continued integration of high-quality geological data, we are laying a solid foundation for future exploration and look forward to initiating drilling activities in early 2025.”

Widigemooltha Project

The Widgiemooltha Project is located in one of Australia’s most prolific mineral fields with Dynamic’s tenure stretching between Kambalda and Norseman. The Company’s tenements are adjacent to established gold producers and multiple million ounce gold deposits (Figure 1) including the Goldfields St Ives Gold Camp (JSE:GFI), Astral Resources Mandilla Project (ASX:AAR) and Westgold’s Higginsville Gold Camp and Chalice Gold Mine (ASX:WGX).

Dynamic is undertaking a systematic gold targeting exercise across its Widgiemooltha tenure. The gold targeting process has involved integrating historic exploration datasets, interpreted bedrock geology and structural interpretations built from high quality open file airborne magnetic survey data. Initial findings from the targeting work highlight the Cognac West and Chalice South prospects as two areas that require priority follow up.

Cognac West

The Cognac West prospect area has been subject to near surface historic exploration dating back to the 1970s including soil sampling and shallow drilling, with historic data sets often incomplete and limited to gold assays only. A peak historic drill hole gold assay from the 1990s includes 1m @ 91.3g/t from 41m in JSA025[2] . Consequently, Dynamic has begun gathering new, high-confidence data as part of the Company’s systematic approach to exploration.

For the first step in this process, Dynamic completed a soil sampling program over an area approximately 3km long and 2km wide and collected samples every 50m along 200m spaced east-west lines. The area subject to soil sampling is centered around structural complexity due to interpreted second order structures around a late felsic intrusion that is approximately 500m to the west of the major structure in the area, the Republican Thrust.

704 soil samples were taken and analysed for gold and a multielement suite. Two areas of +0.025ppm (25ppb) anomalism have been defined by the soil sampling (Figure 2) with significant results reported in Appendix A. The Company returned to the prospect last week to extend soil sampling lines to the east and in areas where previous soil samples had been insufficient. Further geological mapping and rock chip sampling was also undertaken whilst in the field, with assay results expected early next month.

Chalice South

The Chalice South prospect area is located south of the Chalice Gold Mine (currently held by Westgold Resources ASX:WGX). The local geology is characterised by north-north-west striking, west dipping intercalated mafic and volcanic rock units, bounded by the Pioneer Dome to the east. The area has been subject to various iterations of surface geochemistry, shallow exploration drilling and specific deeper drilling since the discovery of the Chalice gold deposit. Dynamic’s exploration licence 15/1721 is coincident with 14km of greenstone geology and the same structural corridor that hosts the Chalice gold deposit.

The Chalice open pit was mined by Resolute Limited in the late 1990s with a total of 2.9Mt at 5.6g/t for 517,000 ounces produced[3] . A small underground mining operation by Avoca Resources Limited produced a further 993t at 3.91g/t[4] with the mine placed on care and maintenance in 2015.

Dynamic’s plans for this prospective trend begin with unravelling the complex geology and structure to generate targeted areas for further surface geochemistry or drill testing.

Next Steps

Once all new assay and mapping data is received the Company will collate all information to determine priority targets for drill testing and commence permitting in preparation for drilling in early 2025.

Released with the authority of Dynamic Metals’ Board of Directors.

ABOUT DYNAMIC METALS

Dynamic Metals (ASX: DYM) is a dedicated exploration company focused on advancing an underexplored portfolio of minerals critical to decarbonisation and the growing battery metals market.

Dynamic’s flagship project, Widgiemooltha, covers an extensive area of ~800km[2] extending between Norseman and Kambalda. The Widgiemooltha region is highly prospective for nickel and gold and more recently emerged in significance for its lithium mineralisation and prospectivity. In July 2024, Dynamic completed a binding joint venture and farm-in agreement with Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) (MinRes), whereby Dynamic sold 40% of its lithium rights on the Widgiemooltha Project for $5m. MinRes can increase its interest to 65% by spending $15m and then to 80% by sole funding to a Decision to Mine.

In addition to Widgiemooltha, Dynamic holds an extensive portfolio of exploration tenure in Western Australia, including several joint venture positions in Western Australia where other parties are funding ongoing exploration to earn an interest in the project. These projects are prospective for gold, nickel, lithium, iron ore and diamonds.
