ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Iron Ore Targets Advanced and Drill Programme Expedited at Fenix Iron Ore JV

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Review of historic drilling data at Ulysses confirms high priority iron ore targets and expedites drilling programme

  • Two target areas have been identified on the southern flank of the Weld Range at Iron Ridge Extension and Ulysses

  • RC drill programme at Ulysses iron ore target is being accelerated

  • Historic interpretation of 50m line spaced helimag covering Iron Ridge Extension identifies hematite iron targets

  • Reprocessing and interpretation of magnetic data aids definition of iron and structurally controlled gold targets

  • Pharos Iron Ore JV covers ~373km² immediately adjacent and contiguous to Fenix Resources (ASX: FEX) Iron Ridge operation - iron ore targets spanning a 15km strike already identified

  • Significant level of exploration activity planned at Pharos Iron Ore JV over the coming months, including RC drill testing expected September-October subject to required approvals

Scorpion Minerals Limited (ASX: SCN) (“ the Company ” or “ SCN ”) is pleased to announce an update on the exploration programme with Fenix Resources Limited ( Fenix ) (ASX: FEX) for the Iron Ore JV at its Pharos Project. The JV area totals ~373 km[2] and is immediately adjacent and contiguous to Fenix’s Iron Ridge operation, with iron ore targets totalling 15 strike kilometres already identified (see ASX release dated 8 February 2021 and Figure 1).

ISSUED CAPITAL

SCN has completed further detailed technical evaluation of historic open file gold exploration data relating to the Ulysses prospect that has highlighted considerable gold and iron ore targets. Historic air core (AC), reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) at Ulysses has enabled rapid identification of iron ore drill targets. RC drilling is planned to test the oxidised zones of iron formation from the surface to a depth of 100 metres.

In addition, historical analysis of open file 50 metre line-spaced helimag has confirmed a significant iron ore target at the Iron Ridge Extension prospect. Reprocessing of this magnetic data is now proceeding as a priority to enable planning for an RC drilling programme to test the prospective targets (Figures 2 & 3) for high grade iron ore mineralisation.

– Company Comment Director Bronwyn Barnes

“Our detailed technical review of the available historical data from Pharos has identified several compelling iron ore drill targets within our JV tenements that

warrant immediate follow-up drill testing. As a result, we have expedited our plans to drill test these high-quality targets across both the Ulysses and Iron Ridge Extension Prospects.

Scorpion’s Pharos Iron Ore JV is in a highly sought-after and proven mining jurisdiction, nearby to Fenix’s high-grade Iron Ridge iron ore mining operation, and we look forward to quickly advancing our exploration strategy with Fenix to unlock the full potential both Ulysses and Iron Ridge Extension.”

Geological Discussion

Two target areas have been identified on the southern flank of the Weld Range at Iron Ridge Extension and Ulysses (refer Figures 1 & 2). Iron Ridge Extension has been identified through interpretation of available air magnetic surveys that have highlighted a southwestern extension of the favourable iron formation stratigraphy. The Ulysses target has resulted from the interpretation of historic air core, RC and diamond drilling targeted at gold and base metal geochemical anomalies that also intersected significant widths of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) beneath an area of cover to the south of the Weld Range (Figure 2,3 & 4). No assaying for Iron was undertaken during this previous work.

Further evaluation of the historic drilling at Ulysses has enabled the accurate location of the prospective iron formation and expedited the planned RC drilling programme that will target the oxidised iron formation from the surface to a depth of 100 metres. Drill logging has identified a strong oxidation profile at Ulysses to at least 100 metres depth (Figure 3).

Historic interpretation of magnetic data by consultant geophysicists in 1990 and again in 2010, remodelled after completion of a detailed 50m line-spaced helimag survey, identified several strong negative anomalies at the Iron Ridge Extension prospect. It was concluded that this type of anomaly was caused by reversely magnetised material of the Very Strongly Ferromagnetic type (VSFM). It was concluded that these reversely polarised features are likely VSFM material such as magnetite or hematite.

An air core programme was planned to test the prospective horizon, however the subsequent drilling failed to test the target, and the area remains inadequately tested for its iron ore potential. These buried VSFM targets will be the focus of further evaluation and future RC drill testing.

The reprocessing of historic air magnetic data currently underway will aid in detailed definition of the Iron Ridge Extension and Ulysses iron targets, as well as providing information that will allow modelling of structurally controlled gold targets.

The Ulysses Project has previously been the focus of gold exploration by Mt Isa Mines and later Newcrest Mining, whom had joint-ventured into the project held by Hampton Hill, with several generations of work delivering some significant gold intersections generally associated with sheared BIF margins (refer Figure 4, and Tables 1 & 2).

SCN believes that NW-trending fault splays off the Big Bell Shear Zone control the distribution of gold mineralisation at Ulysses within the BIF and adjacent lithologies associated within structurally controlled alteration zones containing silica, carbonate, pyrite and in particular coarse-grained massive arsenopyrite. Such targets remain substantially untested, in particular to the east of the section line highlighted in Figures 3 and 4.

The Company is continuing its review of potential high-grade gold potential at Ulysses, where Hill 50style gold mineralisation models have long been considered possible but not effectively tested by

previous workers. In addition, there is significant potential for gold mineralisation within shear zones and vein style targets hosted within the adjacent mafic volcanics/intrusives.

Planned Exploration Activities

Planned exploration programme and timing:

  1. Airborne detailed photography July 2. Open File/Multi Client magnetic data reprocessing July – August 3. Heritage Survey and Clearance August 4. RC drill testing (~1000m programme) of targets identified September – October

Fenix can earn 70% of the iron ore rights by sole funding exploration and resource definition drilling to identify up to 10 million tonnes. Alternatively, Fenix can earn 70% of a portion of the tenements by funding a feasibility study on a resource of at least 1 million tonnes of iron ore. Fenix must expend a minimum of $350,000 before withdrawal and a Scorpion managed exploration programme has been agreed for the six months ending 30 October 2021.

Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
• Refer to information in this and referenced reports.
• For site safety and security any location of specimens/nuggets has been
generalised. Such information is not material to the prospectivity of the
current areas of focus.

methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and

lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _
• Intercept lengths are downhole lengths
• Not known
• Downhole lengths, true width not known
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
• Refer to maps included in this report
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
• The report lists low and high grade values to provide balanced reporting
Other
substantive
exploration

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
• More detailed geological review will follow in subsequent reporting
