Geophysics results offer value-add potential to Kuniko projects

Kuniko Limited (“Kuniko” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on geophysics results and analysis at its prospective Copper and Cobalt projects in Norway.

Highlights

Developing Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, and other battery metals projects in Europe, for Europe Ethical Sourcing ensured . 100% commitment to target a net ZERO CARBON footprint.

Operations in Norway, where 98% of electricity comes from RENEWABLE sources.

Highlights:

  • Airborne geophysics conducted by EMerald Geomodelling together with SkyTEM Surveys has identified conductors at the Vangrøfta and Undal Copper Projects, and at the Skuterud Cobalt Project. Where conductors are identified, this may be an indication of potential mineralisation.

  • Several conductors have been identified at the Vangrøfta Copper Project.

  • Several medium-strong conductors were identified at the Undal Copper Project.

  • A conductor at “Middagskollen” or “Middagshvile”, a historic mine site along the Skuterud cobalt trend, implies that the highest encountered conductivity in the area is located deeper than the existing drilling has penetrated.

  • Geochemical assay results from Skuterud and Vangrøfta are delayed due to laboratory resource constraints in Sweden; now currently expected to be provided during November.

  • Detailed evaluation and interpretation of the geophysics data is continuing, including integration with new geochemical data sets, to enable preparation of targeted exploration plans.

Antony Beckmand, CEO, commented:

“These initial geophysics interpretations will be extremely valuable in unlocking the potential of our cobalt and copper projects in Norway. While we knew these projects had a lot to offer, the geophysics analysis completed so far shows we have a set of highquality targets for investigation across all areas we have surveyed.

Events identified at Vangrøfta are very encouraging and those at Undal represent a larger area than we had anticipated. The conductive anomaly presenting at the Skuterud Cobalt Project has significant potential and we will interrogate this further with existing drilling data to ensure we can reliably quantify results. Overall, this is an exciting set of data and analysis which puts us in a great position to progress our ongoing evaluation and planning for further activities.”

Update on Geophysics and Geochemical Workstreams

In September 2021, EMerald Geomodelling (“Emerald”) together with SkyTEM Surveys ApS (“SkyTEM”) completed an airborne geophysical acquisition program at three of Kuniko’s project locations: Vangrøfta and Undal Copper Projects in Central Norway (near Trondheim), and the Skuterud Cobalt Project in Southern Norway (near Oslo). The aim of the program was to collect electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic data to be used for geological interpretation, and integration with accompanying datasets in order to map geophysical and geochemical anomalies that might be present. This is achieved by processing and inverting EM measurements and interpreting resulting models of electrical resistivity and conductivity.

Emerald’s evaluation and interpretation of the data has identified possibly significant conductors located in all three survey areas. In some cases, stratigraphically-controlled conductors correspond with those identified by the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) at 1:250,000 scale. In other areas, the conductors appear to be not stratigraphically-controlled, and coincide with magnetic intensity anomalies.

Further evaluation of the newly acquired geophysics data is ongoing with a view to ranking conductivity targets based on other available existing geological information. This data will be consolidated with new geochemical datasets from Skuterud and Vangrøfta as soon as results becomes available, to support exploration targeting and enable detailed planning of next year’s exploration and drilling activities. Results from the geochemical analysis have been delayed due to laboratory resource constraints which has resulted in Kuniko’s samples being dispatched to an alternative ALS facility in Ireland. The laboratory results are currently expected to be available within November.

Vangrøfta Copper Project

At Vangrøfta, most conductors follow the known SSW to NNE structural trend and correspond to higher total magnetic intensity trends. Most conductors are located deeper than 50 m from surface except Conductor D (refer Figure 3), located in the northwest of the survey area.

A previously mapped shear zone was interpreted in the surveyed area, and is in areas of low conductivity and low magnetic intensity (Figure 4). The shear zone appears to correspond to the western limit of Conductor C and to the eastern edge of Conductor D. Conductor D is one of the few conductors located close to surface (Figure 4). This information will be invaluable in defining targets for further activities in 2022.

Undal Copper Project

At Undal, numerous strong conductors were identified (Figures 5 and 6) which often correlate well with the stratigraphy mapped by NGU at 1:250,000 scale (Figure 5). The strongest conductor – Conductor A – occurs in the northernmost part of the survey area. Small, circular magnetic intensity anomalies are detected in the immediate vicinity of this conductor.

There are numerous conductors which correspond to data signal gaps and/or magnetic features. EMerald’s analysis suggests that there may potentially be thin or deep lithological units of interest present.

Skuterud Cobalt Project

At Skuterud, poor EM conductors were interpreted across the western and eastern parts of the survey area (green polygons in Figure 8). In other areas, Emerald were unable to make an assessment of the resistivity due to interference (couplings) with existing infrastructure (red polygons in Figure 8), occuring primarily in the river valleys to the east and southwest of the survey. The interferences are particularly obvious near buildings and power lines. For this reason, resistivity models could not be produced for these locations.

Several conductors occur along the Modum Vest Ore Province previously documented by NGU (as shown in Figure 8). The Middagskollen, also known as the Middagshville, conductor is the most significant in the surveyed area The top of the conductor is located at 50-70 m depth, and extends to the base of the inverted data, approximately to 240 m depth. The resistivities detected within this anomaly are some of the lowest encountered in the entire area. Furthermore, the data suggests that previous license owners Berkut Minerals, who did not have access to 3D resistivity inversion models, may not have assayed all drill core samples deep enough to encounter the main conductor. Kuniko considers that deeper drilling will be required at this location to adequetly test the conductor.

done by other commercial exploration companies have been conducted on Kuniko’s
parties tenements.
Skuterud: The cobalt ores at Skuterud were discovered in 1772, and mine
production commenced in 1776, to begin with in large open pits, and from
1827 until the closure in 1898, in underground stopes. In the 1890s, ore
reserves decreased rapidly, leading to the final shutdown of mining operation
in 1898. The area remained idle until 2016 when Australian-based explorer
Berkut Minerals Ltd. commenced exploration in the area north of the Skuterud
historic mine site. Soil sampling covered the area between the Middagshvile
and Dovikkollen historic open pits and mineral occurrences and led to the
delineation of follow-up drilling targets. One DD drillhole was completed at
Dovikkollen and six DD drillholes at Middagshvile. The drilling campaign
confirmed the presence of Co-Cu mineralization; however the exploration
project was abandoned in 2018 and not pursued by Berkut any further.
Vangrøfta: Mining took place within this area periodically between 1707 and
1908, at the Fredrik IV mine, and smaller scale test mining also occurred at the
Flatskarvåsen and Vangrøfta workings. During the 1960s Røros Kobberverk
carried out exploration within the Vangrøfta license, and NGU conducted an
EM ground survey in 1966 (Sakshaug, 1967). A/S Sydvaranger conducted

initiated by airborne geophysics (Håbrekke, 1975) and stream sediment
sampling in 1974 (Krog, 1975). Follow-up exploration in 1975 included
mapping, ground geophysics and soil sampling (Gvein, 1976), concluding that
graphite schist and sulphide (mainly pyrite) disseminated quartz keratophyre
and greenschist cause the known anomalies. Subsequently, Folldal Verk in
joint venture with AMOCO explored the area between 1981-1984. Work
included airborne geophysics (Dighem, 1982a and b), geological grid
mapping, ground geophysics (VLF, CEM, IP and Mag), soil sampling and
diamond drilling. Three drillholes were completed at their Nordervollen grid
and one SW of Stordjupsjøen, just SW of the Kuniko license area. The
conclusion was the same as the previous campaigns and the area was
abandoned.
Undal and Nyberget: No modern exploration has been carried out in the
Undal and Nyberget areas. Undal has been known to contain mineralisation
since the 17thcentury with limited periods of mining operations until 1971.
Geological mapping, geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling and core
drilling were carried out by various parties, such as Killingdal Gruber A/S from
1950-1970, Undal Verk A/S in the 1960s, and NGU in 1997. Most known
mineral occurrences in the Nyberget area were sampled by the NGU in 1997,
with no significant exploration carried out before or after.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Skuterud: The cobalt occurrences in the Skuterud and Modum areas are
related to sulphide-rich schist zones, so-called fahlbands. The most extensive
sulphide-rich zone has a length of 12 km along strike, and is up to 100–200 m
wide. The rock type hosting the sulphides can be characterized as a quartz-
plagioclase-tourmaline-phlogopite-sulphide gneiss or schist. Graphite is
locally common and its content may attain more than 5% of the rock. The
cobalt mineralisation is, to a large degree, characterised by impregnation of
cobaltite (CoAsS), glaucodote ((Co, Fe) AsS), safflorite ((Co, Fe) As2) and
skutterudite (CoAs3), which partly occur as enriched in quartz-rich zones and
lenses. The cobalt-rich lenses are structurally controlled, following axes of
folds and lineations in the area.
Vangrøfta: The Vangrøfta tenement is located in the Folldal-Meråker Cu-Zn

metallogenic area of south-central Norway. The tenement contains an
uncertain number of either (1) volcanic-associated (VMS) massive sulphide
and (2) epigenetic, hydrothermal, narrow-vein style copper-gold-cobalt
deposits hosted in sheared (meta) gabbroic rocks. Massive sulphide lenses (1)
and narrow veins (2) contain pyrite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite mineralisation.
Undal/ Nyberget: The Undal and Nyberget Tenements are located within the
Kvikne-Singsås Cu-Zn-Ni metallogenic area, whereas the Undal deposit is
related to volcanic-associated (VMS) massive sulphide mineralisation, located
in a graphitic phyllite with minor greenstone occurrences, belonging to the
Undal Formation. This unit was interpreted as a tectonic mélange (Horne,
1979), situated between the Gula Group and the Støren Group in the
Trondheim Nappe Complex. The deposit is about 600 m long and takes the
form of a thin ruler, approx. 70 m wide and 3–5 m thick. It is a pyritic ore body
with subordinate chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Analysis of ore production
yielded 1.15 % Cu, 1.86 % Zn, 43.2 % Fe and 41.1 % S (Foslie, 1926). About
279,000 t ore was produced from the deposit between 1952 and 1971.
