PAM is one of a select few newly listed explorers to be drilling on the day of listing, in fact PAM’s drill program at the Khao Soon Tungsten Project (KSTP) started on 4 October, four days before listing.

This is an example of the excellence we aim to deliver to PAM’s shareholders; our conduct and the way we manage our business is done so with the sole objective of delivering the best possible outcome.

We thank our pre-IPO and IPO shareholders for their support, particularly so during the COVID-19 pandemic.

EXPLORATION

During the quarter PAM’s exploration activities focused on drilling at the KSTP. KSTP is one of PAM’s key assets and a significant historical tungsten producer, the other being PAM’s Reung Kiet Lithium Project (RKLP). Modern exploration at KSTP has discovered potentially world-class, district scale tungsten mineralisation across numerous prospects. Reconnaissance diamond drilling by PAM has intersected robust widths and grades associated with strong surface anomalies, from which Exploration Targets have been estimated.

KSTP – Target 2 Prospect

PAM commenced drilling at the Target 2 (T2) prospect on 4 October. A total of nine HQ diameter drillholes (holes KSDD023 to KSDD031) were completed for a total of 773.3m. T2 is defined by a large high tenor tungsten in soil anomaly about 450m long and 150m wide and laterite hosted mineralisation to the west of this anomaly (see Figure 1). An Exploration Target of 6-8Mt @ 0.2-0.4% WO3 was previously estimated, with details reported on October 8, 2020, in ASX announcement ‘PAM Projects – ‘Technical Reports’. Readers are advised that in reference to the Exploration Target, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The drilling program was designed to test the Exploration Target beneath the soil anomaly and the laterite hosted mineralisation to the west, as well as to test a strong Induced Polarisation chargeability anomaly which occurs sub-surface and to the west of a large tungsten in soil anomaly.

Drilling at the T2 soil anomaly has so far defined a shallow southeast dipping zone of tungsten mineralisation about 270m long and 15-25m thick. Currently the better tungsten grades are located in the central and southern parts of the prospect (see Figure 1). The zone remains open, southeast of KSDD029 and to a lesser extent to the northeast of KSDD028 where a significant portion of the soil anomaly along strike from KSDD028 remains to be tested. Confirmatory land title investigations and subsequent drilling access arrangements are being undertaken for this area.

Drilling of the laterite hosted mineralisation in holes KSDD030 and KSDD031 was conducted to test the continuity of tungsten mineralisation intersected in air-core drilling by previous explorers, which identified horizontal zones around 9-12m thick with grades generally around

==> picture [55 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

0.1-0.3% WO3. Both holes intersected anomalous to low grade tungsten values from surface to about 36m. However, WO3 values from spot hhXRF were generally lower than those intersected by previous explorers.

==> picture [426 x 503] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Khao Soon Tungsten Project – T2 Prospect, Drill Hole Locations and Geochemistry

KSDD023 was designed to test a strong Induced Polarisation chargeability anomaly which occurs sub-surface and to the west of a large tungsten in soil anomaly (see Figure 2). As there is no outcrop in the prospect area, the IP anomaly was interpreted to potentially represent the

3

==> picture [55 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

down dip extension of the mineralized zone emanating from the tungsten in soil. Results of KSDD023 effectively rule out the potential for a west dipping mineralized zone associated with the IP anomaly. The source of the IP anomaly remains unexplained.

==> picture [454 x 265] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Khao Soon Tungsten Project – T2 Prospect, Composite Cross Section

Drilling at T2 has identified an extensive fault breccia system, dipping about 25 degrees to the southeast which is currently interpreted to underly much of the drilled area. The upper more weathered parts of the breccia hosts tungsten mineralisation based upon spot hhXRF. Parts of the lower fresh breccia contain some pyrite mineralisation with occasional elevated tungsten. There is an extensive area of elevated tungsten defined in lateritic soil cover and some drilling over a total area of about 700m in length and 250-500m in width.

PAM awaits laboratory assay results, which will assist ongoing interpretation of geology and mineralisation controls at the T2 prospect, with the aim of additional drilling being undertaken in 2021. PAM will then consider the potential to estimate a Mineral Resource.

Drillhole collar details and drilling results can be found in Appendix 1, with further details found in Appendix 2, being Table 1 of the JORC Code.

KSTP – Than Pho West Prospect

PAM commenced drilling at the Than Pho West (TPW) prospect on 17 November. The TPW prospect is defined by a large plus 1km long WO3 soil anomaly supported by rock-chips and drilling (see Figure 3). Prior to the current program, PAM previously completed seven widely spaced diamond core holes at TPW and defined near surface tungsten mineralisation up to 50m true width.

==> picture [426 x 503] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [55 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

An Exploration Target of 4-8Mt @ 0.2-0.4% WO3 was estimated, with details reported on 8 October, 2020 in ASX announcement ‘PAM Projects – ‘Technical Reports’. Readers are advised that in reference to the Exploration Target, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The drilling program at TPW was designed as infill and extensional drilling to test the Exploration Target. As at 31 December a total of eight PQ diameter priority 1 drillholes (KSDD032 to KSDD039) were drilled for 698.2m. Subsequent to the quarter end, this phase of the TPW program was completed with 2 additional PQ drillholes (KSDD040 to KSDD041) for a program total of 828.2m in 10 holes.

The drilling was undertaken at sufficient spacing to enable a Mineral Resource estimate to be reported, subject to the success of the program and other factors that contribute to a Mineral Resource (see Figure 4). The results support previous work, confirming a relatively thick, shallow dipping breccia zone, with the zone remaining open at depth on all sections and is yet to be closed off along strike

In addition to testing the breccia zone, drillhole KSDD038 was drilled deeper in order to test an Induced Polarisation chargeability anomaly thought to be potentially associated with deeper mineralisation. The geological results from this hole seem to indicate the chargeability feature is associated with pyritic siltstone deep in the footwall of the breccia mineralisation.

Importantly, most of the intersections through the mineralized breccia zone are PQ diameter. This larger diameter (85mm) core maximizes core recovery, compared to previous HQ diameter core (61mm), where recovery was variable in some of the mineralized zones. The PQ core also provides additional material for metallurgical test work.

Subsequent to the quarter end, drilling at TPW was paused upon completion of KSDD041 whilst the Company awaits assay results. The Company aims to undertake additional drilling later in 2021.

Drillhole collar details and drilling results can be found in Appendix 1, with further details found in Appendix 2, being Table 1 of the JORC Code.

Minter Tungsten Project

The Minter Project is located within the central portion of the Lachlan Lachlan Fold Belt, which includes the broadly-defined “Wagga Tin Belt” which extends about 700kms from northeastern Victoria in a belt 100-150km wide and continues into central NSW (see Figure 5).

The Wagga Tin Belt (WTB) hosts numerous granites of particular composition that give rise to tin, tin-tungsten, tungsten and gold mineralisation hosted within the granite intrusions and/or

adjacent metasediments, and commonly in quartz veins. The Minter project sits midway between the productive Gibsonvale and Tallebung tin-tungsten fields and 110 kilometres north-northwest of the substantial Ardlethan tin field.

Exploration by previous explorers at Minter has defined a belt of prospective tungsten mineralisation hosted in quartz veins occurring within metasediments near a granite contact. At the Doyenwae prospect there has been approximately 3,600m of drilling in 59 holes yielding numerous low to moderate grade WO3 intersections over a relatively large area. Much of this drilling was shallow aircore drilling to about 20-25m vertically below surface along with 17 RC holes and one diamond core hole.

On 2 December, the Company announced that a six hole, 1000-1200m drill plan for the Doyenwae prospect had been approved by the NSW Government (see Figure 6) and that PAM intended conducting this program in December 2020.

Previous diamond drilling combined with geological mapping of exposures suggests that historical drill holes at the Doyenwae prospect were not drilled in an optimal direction and/or dip relative to newly identified controls of mineralisation, specifically quartz veins that are parallel to the drilling direction and also steeply dipping to near vertical. The aim of the upcoming drilling program is to test this new interpretation and if successful conduct additional drilling and assess the potential to delineate an Exploration Target and/or Inferred Resource.

The planned drilling program has been postponed until early 2021 pending ratification of a land transfer relevant to the Land Access and Compensation Agreement.

  • 8 October, 2020: ‘PAM Projects – Technical Reports’

  • 2 December, 2020: ‘Minter Tungsten Project - Drilling Program approved’

PROJECT GENERATION

PAM’s strategy is outlined in its Prospectus dated 8 July 2020.

The Company is primarily focussing on South East Asia for both geological and economic reasons. Three of the Company’s projects are located in the South East Asian Tin-Tungsten Belt, which extends from Myanmar in the north through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to the Tin Islands in the South. This belt is appealing due to the occurrence of a suite of specialty metals associated with granite related tin, tungsten, lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, cesium, rare earths and other rare metals. There has been very little modern exploration and it contains some of the largest historical tin producing districts in the world, specifically in Southern Thailand and much of Peninsula Malaysia.

Operating in South East Asia, especially in Thailand and Malaysia, gives the Company access to modern industrial economies with globally competitive cost environments, and the fastest growing and most populous region on earth. The Company’s strategy is simple, we seek to secure exploration and development assets which have the potential to be positioned in the lowest or leading third of the cost curve and which position the Company for downstream value adding opportunities. Cost curve positioning is paramount in our decision-making, as assets positioned further up the cost curve are generally more difficult to finance and develop. Regardless of the size or grade of an asset, if finance cannot be secured then the asset is worth relatively little.

The opportunity to move downstream is also very important. In general, value adding mine output will offer the Company better and more consistent profit margins and a larger footprint of customers, and exposure to new opportunities. Although at face value this may sound ‘optimistic’, for many specialty metals, including tungsten and lithium, value adding can be easily incorporated into a feasibility study if the geology, geography and cost environment is right.

With the above in mind, during the quarter the Company considered several opportunities which meet PAM’s stated strategic objectives, including a complementary tungsten asset in Australia, which has since been passed on. At present the Company is considering several specialty metal opportunities in SE Asia which would complement its current portfolio.

COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT

PAM works closely with the communities within which it works. PAM sponsors education, health and sport, with a primary focus on childhood education through it’s ‘The Village Scientist’ program.

In early December southern Thailand experienced a large monsoonal rain event, with many townships around KSTP experiencing flooding. PAM offered donations and help to the communities during this weather event.

PAM has also been offering help to communities affected by COVID-19, generally in the form of food donations and protective equipment.

11

==> picture [55 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

COVID-19

As with other Companies, COVID-19 has caused some disruptions to PAM’s activities. With regard to business development, PAM’s executives have been somewhat restricted, although their long term relationships in SE Asia means that PAM is seeing opportunities other companies will not see as they are not on the ground. With regard to PAM’s operations, although there has been a fresh outbreak in Thailand in December and January, which as at writing continues, the Thai authorities have managed to keep numbers very low and the Company has not experienced any disruptions to its field activities since listing. As the Thai authorities are managing the COVID-19 situation very well and as the Company has a strong Thai-based team comprising three administration and three field staff, we do not expect any material disruptions to PAM’s exploration activities.

CORPORATE

On 8 October, the Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) with the stock ticker ‘PAM’, successfully raising A$4.29m (US$3.06m) before costs via the issuance of 21,430,000 ordinary shares at A$0.20 each.

PAM is a US Dollar reporter and therefore its financial statements are reported in US Dollars, including its Quarterly Appendix 5Bs.

As at 31 December 2020, the Company held A$3.14m (US$2.42m) in cash.

Spot hand-held XRF analysis (KSDD023 to 036)

PAM uses a Delta Olympus Premium hhXRF device which utilises an X-ray fluorescence tube to take relatively rapid (30 second) measurements over an area about 20mm[2] to report up to 36 elements. In this case, it is used by PAM geologists to take readings on drill core to evaluate the tenor of the contained tungsten mineralisation and other associated pathfinder elements. The spot readings on the core are yet to verified by an independent laboratory and the Company wishes to make clear that the hhXRF results are not formal assays but are preliminary estimates of tungsten grades only, and require confirmation by appropriate sampling and independent laboratory analysis.

However, it is PAM’s experience that the spot hhXRF analysis does provide a relatively good indication of tungsten grades when compared to those reported from laboratory analysis. This is especially the case in more weathered mineralisation and is based upon extensive QA/QC conducted by PAM during previous drilling campaigns at Khao Soon. However, in fresh rock spot hhXRF becomes a considerably less reliable indicator of tungsten grade and will commonly underestimate by a significant factor.

  • • The spot hand held XRF only analyses about 20mm2 on the drill core. As such it cannot be considered representative, although comparisons between spot hhXRF and laboratory derived analysis do show reasonable to excellent correlation across the mineralized zones in weathered material. This agreement breaks down when comparing hhXRF to laboratory results in fresh mineralisation (see Table A at end)

  • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
