The June Quarter was a transformational period for Future Metals with the readmission of the Company’s listing on the ASX following re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, the successful completion of a $10.0 million equity raising and the acquisition of 100% interest in the Panton PGM Project in Western Australia.

The Company announced on 17 June 2021 that it had completed the acquisition of the issued capital of Great Northern Palladium Pty Ltd (‘GNP’), the holder of 80% of the issued capital of Panton Sill Pty Ltd (‘Panton Sill’) and GNP subsequently exercised its option to acquire the remaining 20% of the issued capital of Panton Sill with the payment of $3.0 million to Panoramic Resources Ltd (‘Panoramic Resources’).

Accordingly, on 17 June 2021 Panton Sill became a wholly owned subsidiary of Future Metals. Panton Sill is the registered holder of a 100% interest in the three granted mining leases that cover the Panton PGM Project.

The Company commenced work on the Panton PGM Project immediately. A contract was secured with experienced diamond drilling contractor Terra Drilling, with mobilisation to site expected to occur early August 2021. The Company has planned a 10,000m step-out drilling program designed to expand the existing JORC Mineral Resource estimate and to provide metallurgical samples for variability and optimisation test work.

Panton PGM Project

The Panton PGM Project is located 60 kilometres north of Halls Creek and just 1 kilometre off the Great Northern Highway, in the East Kimberley Region of Western Australia (refer to Figure One). The Great Northern Highway also provides direct access to the Port of Wyndham.

==> picture [249 x 295] intentionally omitted <==

Figure One | Panton PGM Project Location

The Panton PGM Project is held under three granted Mining Leases (M80/103, M80/104 and M80/105) covering an area of approximately 23km[2] .

Past exploration and drilling, predominantly undertaken by Platinum Australia Ltd (‘Platinum Australia’) in the early 2000s, resulted in the delineation of a Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) for the Panton deposit undertaken by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd (‘Cube’) in April 2003. In August 2015, Cube reviewed and re-reported its 2003 MRE model to report the MRE in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (‘JORC 2012’).

The Panton PGM Project has a JORC Resource of 14.32Mt @ 5.20g/t for 2.4Moz PGM + Gold (refer Table One).

==> picture [480 x 330] intentionally omitted <==

Table One | Panton JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate

The focus of the JORC 2012 MRE was on two of the chromite layers known as the Top (101) and Middle (201) Reefs, domained into the A, B, C and D blocks (refer Figures Two and Three). The MRE was based on previous drilling at Panton comprising historical diamond drilling (30 holes or 9,524 metres completed prior to 2001), reverse circulation (RC) (29 holes for 2,366 metres) and diamond drilling (166 holes for 34,410 metres) completed by Platinum Australia. The MRE also included surface trenching and underground channel samples (1,391 metres) conducted by Platinum Australia between 2001 and 2003 in an exploration decline which accessed the upper chromite reef.

Figure Two | Panton PGM Project Mineral Resource Wireframes

The Panton mineralisation occurs within a layered, differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion referred to as the Panton intrusive. PGM mineralisation is hosted within two stratiform chromite reefs, the Top and Middle reefs, within the ultramafic sequence. The Panton Sill is a 20km[2] layered mafic intrusive and shares geological features with the world class Cr-PGM-Ni mafic intrusive hosted deposits of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa and the Sudbury Complex in Canada.

The Panton Complex has been folded into a syncline such that the shallowest chromite reefs occur around the outer edges and become deeper towards the centre of the complex (refer to Figure Three). The syncline axis is interpreted to plunge toward the southwest. In addition to folding, the Panton Complex has been subject to several stages of faulting, many of which offset the chromite reefs including a major north-south oriented fault that offsets the C zone to the south which is now known as the D zone (refer to Figure Three).

Independent Review of Metallurgical Test Work (Refer ASX announced dated 7 July 2021)

During June Quarter, the Company appointed Dr Evan Kirby of Metallurgical Management Services Pty Ltd (‘MMS’) to undertake a review of historical flotation test work conducted on the Panton ore by Platinum Australia Ltd and Panoramic Resources. MMS has extensive experience within the PGM industry and provided metallurgical services to several PGM producers in South Africa and the USA.

A series of test work campaigns was carried out in 2015 by ALS Laboratories on behalf of Panoramic Resources to investigate the potential to produce a high-grade PGM concentrate at a >80% 3PGM recovery.

MMS has concluded:

“The 2015 test work achieved a technical breakthrough and the results demonstrated that high performance flotation on the Panton ore was possible. It was shown that a combination of fine grinding, conditioning with sodium dithionate as a reducing agent, and use of nitrogen gas for flotation were essential to the process.”

Significantly improved flotation results were achieved following the test work campaigns utilising a primary grind of P80 38 micron with sodium dithionite used as a reducing agent, and with a rapid 14 minutes of flotation time. Test 1279 returned the following flotation results:

PGM Concentrate
Head Grade (3PGE) Concentrate Mass
Pull
Flotation Recovery
(3PGE)
Concentrate Grade
(3PGE)
Flotation Time
**8.22g/t ** 2.46% 81.4% **271.7g/t ** 14 min

Table Two | Test 1279 Flotation Results

September Quarter Planned Activities

No significant exploration has been conducted on the Panton PGM Project for almost 20 years.

The modelled chromite reefs have an unfolded strike length of approximately 3.5 kilometres. Historical drilling has been focused on the A, B, C and D chromite reefs and an approximate 8.5 kilometres of mapped PGM-bearing chromite reefs remain largely untested by drilling. There remains potential to significantly expand the existing resource.

The Company has secured a contract with experienced drilling contractor Terra Drilling for a 10,000m diamond drilling program. Rig mobilisation is expected to occur early August 2021. The drilling program is designed to test for extensions to the current JORC Mineral Resource and provide samples to undertake the planned metallurgical test work outlined above.

Figures Four and Five | Panton Outcropping Mapped Chromitite Reef and Pt Surface Geochemistry

The drilling program will be managed by Mr Shane Hibbird who has accepted the role of Exploration Manager with the Company.

Whilst the 2015 metallurgical test work achieved dramatic improvements in the flotation performance, there was no attempt to optimize the flotation response, or to investigate the roles played by the other reagents used (the activator, copper sulfate, plus collectors and promoters).

Additional test work will be undertaken to investigate which other flotation reagents are important and optimise the reagent regime. The work will also include testing for variability throughout the Panton Mineral Resource and understanding how different ore characteristics relate to selectivity. Results will deliver a robust understanding of the process and allow it to be scaled up and implemented in a full-scale processing plant.

AIM Listing

As previously announced, the Company evaluated a number of options with its Nominated Adviser with respect to its UK listing in light of certain differences between the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the AIM Rules for Companies (‘AIM Rules’) and the general chronology, processes and requirements of the two stock exchanges. The Board considered it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to seek cancellation of the admission to trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on AIM in order to facilitate and ensure the timely implementation of the acquisition of the Panton PGM Project and associated fundraising in Australia on the ASX on the commercial terms and timeframe agreed with the major shareholders of Great Northern Palladium Pty Ltd. Accordingly, the Company’s AIM listing was cancelled on 19 May 2021.

Following completion of the acquisition of the Panton PGM Project and the associated equity raising and re-listing on the ASX, the Company is now working through the process to obtain re-admission to trading on AIM to restore the enlarged entity’s dual listing, which is currently expected to complete in Q3 2021.

Financial Commentary

The Quarterly Cashflow Report (Appendix 5B) for the period ending 30 June 2021 provides an overview of the Company's financial activities. The acquisition of GNP by the Company has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under Australian Accounting Standards. As such, the YTD cash flows represent transactions for the financial year for GNP and its subsidiary for the period from 12 November 2020 to 30 June 2021. The cash flows for the Company are included from the date of acquisition, being 13 June 2021.

The Company successfully recommenced trading on the ASX on 22 June 2021 after successfully raising A$10.0m at $0.10 per share for its public offering.

The Company is now in a strong financial position with A$9.6 million in cash at the end of the June Quarter. This cash position is prior to payment of stamp duty associated with the Panton PGM Project acquisition. This is considered sufficient to fund corporate costs and also facilitate the acceleration of exploration programmes at the Company’s Panton PGM Project.

Expenditure on exploration during the reporting period amounted to A$3.1m and included the exercise of the option to acquire the remaining 20% share capital in Panton Sill from Panoramic Resources for an additional A$3.0m. Payments for administration and corporate costs amounted to $100K and related to costs for and associated with listing and compliance and consulting fees. Costs associated with the public offer amounted to $616k.

The aggregate amount of payments to related parties and their associates included in the June Quarter cash flows from operating activities was $22k comprising Director fees and remuneration (including superannuation).

About Platinum Group Metals (PGMs)

PGMs are a group of six precious metals being Platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh), and ruthenium (Ru). Exceptionally rare, they have similar physical and chemical properties and tend to occur, in varying proportions, together in the same geological deposit. The usefulness of PGMs is determined by their unique and specific shared chemical and physical properties.

PGMs have many desirable properties and as such have a wide variety of applications. Most notably, they are used as auto-catalysts (pollution control devices for vehicles), but are also used in jewellery, electronics, hydrogen production / purification and in hydrogen fuel cells. The unique properties of PGMs help convert harmful exhaust pollutant emissions to harmless compounds, improving air quality and thereby enhancing health and wellbeing.
