ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 27 July 2016

SYNDICATED METALS ACQUIRES HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE GOLD PROJECT IN WA’S LAVERTON DISTRICT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Syndicated to acquire 100% of the Monument Gold Project, located in WA’s world‐class Laverton region, through the purchase of private company Monument Exploration Pty Ltd for a combination of cash and shares and a royalty.

  • The Monument Project comprises a 210km[2] tenement portfolio located adjacent to the 3.2Moz Mount Morgans Gold Project, currently being explored by Dacian Gold (ASX: DCN).

  • The project covers a 16km strike length of the same BIF (banded iron formation)/porphyry sequence which hosts the key Westralia and Morgans North deposits at Mount Morgans. The project area covers +25km of the Ninnis and Claypan Fault Zones – key regional geological structures.

  • The project area includes two lightly drilled zones of gold mineralisation at Korong and Waihi, which have returned ore grade intercepts from drilling by Carpentaria Exploration in the late 1980s. These two areas also contain numerous historical workings.

  • The newly acquired project represents an attractive exploration and growth opportunity for Syndicated in the WA gold sector, following an extensive search for suitable new project opportunities outside of its Queensland copper‐gold assets.

Syndicated Metals Limited (ASX: SMD – “Syndicated” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has reached agreement to acquire the highly prospective Monument Gold Project in WA’s Laverton gold province, through the purchase of unlisted company Monument Exploration Pty Ltd (“Monument”).

Syndicated will acquire Monument for $50,000 in cash and 23,767,082 fully paid ordinary Syndicated shares, to be issued to the Vendor at a price of 0.8415 cents each ($200,000 total share consideration), which is the 5‐day VWAP for Syndicated shares prior to execution of the agreement. Shareholder approval will not be sought for the issue of Syndicated shares to the Vendor. The Vendor will also receive a 0.5% gross royalty paid on future gold production of up to 100,000 ounces from the tenements.

The Monument Gold Project comprises a 210km[2] tenement package located ~55km west of Laverton in the world‐class Laverton gold district of WA, which hosts numerous multi‐million ounce gold mines such as Sunrise Dam (+10Moz), Wallaby (+8Moz), Granny Smith (+2Moz) and Lancefield (+2Moz).

The package comprises four contiguous tenements (three of which are granted and one of which is pending) which lie immediately to the north‐west of the 3.2Moz Mount Morgans Gold Project, currently being explored by Dacian Gold Limited (ASX: DCN) (refer Dacian Gold announcement 25 July 2016)(see Figure 1).

Figure 1 – Location of the Monument Gold Project showing regional geology and nearby mining operations

This area is a well‐established mining district with excellent infrastructure and access including the sealed Leonora‐to‐Laverton road (which runs through the project), a new gas pipeline and a sealed airstrip at Laverton.

The Monument Gold Project tenements cover an approximate 25km strike length of the Ninnis and Claypan Fault Zones, the two significant regional geological structures which control gold and nickel mineralisation identified further south particularly at the Mount Morgan Gold Project (see Figure 1).

The acquisition provides Syndicated shareholders with exposure to an outstanding gold exploration opportunity in a world‐class gold province. The Laverton Tectonic Zone has produced more than 30 million ounces of gold and yielded some of Australia’s best known gold mines.

The last concerted phase of exploration on the Monument tenements was undertaken by Carpentaria Exploration and Western Mining Corporation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Carpentaria Exploration drilled the Waihi and Korong prospects, both of which contain near surface historical gold workings, some dating back to the last century.

The Korong mine produced some 2,875t of ore at an average grade of 35.6g/t Au while the Waihi mine produced 424 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 67.9g/t Au. Most of these workings were abandoned by 1910.

A total of 142 historical drill holes have been recorded on the tenements, most of which were drilled under and immediately along strike of the historical workings at the Waihi and Korong prospects. Drilling rarely penetrated the oxidized zone which in the area ranges from 20m to 80m.

The last recorded drill hole was completed in 2003.

Exploration on the adjoining tenements by Dacian has highlighted the importance of the confluence of the Ninnis Fault Zones with the BIF/Ultramafic unit, which hosts the Westralia and Morgans North deposits in localizing high‐grade gold mineralisation. The Korong and Waihi mineralisation further north displays similar quartz veining and sulphide alteration at contacts between the BIF/porphyry and ultramafic unit as seen at Westralia (see Figure 2).

Syndicated believes this horizon is highly prospective for gold discoveries, and intends to concentrate initially on the main 16km long Korong‐Waihi trend as a focus for near‐term exploration activities.

Figure 2 – Monument Project tenements showing the Korong and Waihi gold prospects over regional magnetics

Baseline geophysical surveys were undertaken in 2011 using Induced Polarisation (IP). These IP surveys have revealed a number of untested targets along the Korong‐Waihi trend which represent potential additional drilling targets.

The Korong prospect is covered by granted Exploration Licences, which means that Syndicated can commence drilling activities on these tenements almost immediately. While previous near surface drilling returned ore grade intercepts from the sequence it is envisaged that deeper drilling into the footwall of the ultramafic sequence will be required to fully test the targets at Korong.

A cross‐section of the Korong prospect based on historical drilling is shown in Figure 3 and listed in Appendix 1. The crossection, highlights the BIF sequence which hosts the gold mineralisation. A representative section from the Westralia deposit at Dacian Gold’s nearby Mount Morgans Gold Project is shown for comparative purposes on the right.

Management Comment

Syndicated Metals’ Managing Director, Mr Andrew Munckton, said the Company had identified and secured the Monument Gold Project following an extensive search for potential new precious and base metal opportunities Australia‐wide.

“This opens up an exciting new exploration opportunity for the Company in the gold sector, which is currently enjoying a high level of investor interest,” he said.

“The Laverton district is a prime address for gold exploration, and this project is strategically located immediately along strike from one of the most significant new gold projects currently being developed in Australia at Mount Morgans.

“From a geological, structural and geophysical perspective, it ticks virtually every box for us as a greenfields exploration opportunity in gold, and we are very much looking forward to getting on the ground to commence exploration.”

Competent Person’s Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation compiled by Mr Andrew Munckton who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). Mr Munckton is a full‐time employee of Syndicated Metals Limited and consents to the inclusion in the report of the Exploration Targets, Exploration Results and Mineral Resources in the form and context in which they appear.

Exploration Targets

This report comments on and discusses Syndicated Metals Limited’s exploration in terms of target size and type. The information relating to Exploration Targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. The potential quantity and quality of material discussed as Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define them as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. It is uncertain if further exploration work will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

Section 1 ‐ Sampling Techniques and Data
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Exploration
was
undertaken
by
Carpentaria
Exploration Pty Ltd between 1977 and 1988 and by
Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd between 1994 and 1995.
Eighty two (82) RC holes, and 15 Diamond Drill
Holes were completed during this period. A total
of 7459 metres of drilling was reported principally
at the Korong and Waihi Prospects with gold
mineralisation the principal target.
Western Mining Corporation completed follow up
drilling between 1989 and 1993 with gold and
nickel mineralisation the focus principally at the
Anomaly 39 prospect. 38 RC holes and 5 diamond
holes were completed for 1993 metres.
RC and Percussion results were generally at 1.0m
samples.
Diamond drilling results were reported as assays of
½ or ¼ cores with mineralised intercepts varying
between 0.1m and 14.0 metres with average
length of 2.2m.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Sampling was carried out using standard RC and
Percussion drilling procedures applicable to
Carpentaria Exploration and Western Mining
Exploration at the time.
RC and Percussion Drilling was undertaken by
reputable drilling contractors.
No QA/QC data is available to provide a
measurement of representivity of the RC or
Percussion drilling sampling system or tools.
Sample recovery was recorded as good for the
various RC and Percussion programs.
Diamond drilling was undertaken by Glindemann
and Kitching using NQ and HQ sized core after
drilling of an RC precollar to base of oxidized rock.
Cores of mineralisation were sawn in ½ core or ¼
core sections of the mineralisation intersection
length.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples
from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
Drilling was used to obtain a generally 1m sample
in RC or Percussion drilling.
Samples were Riffle split to approximately 2.5kg
for assay. The samples submitted for assay were
given a unique sample ID and shipped to a variety
of laboratories.
Labs included SGS, Genalysis, Ultratrace and
Australian Assay Labs in Leonora, Kalgoorlie and
Perth. Samples were dried, pulverised and
generallyassayed for Au. Gold was analysed using
detailed information. fire assay. Fire assay charge varied between 30g
and 50g.
In Diamond Drilling, samples were obtained from
split core. Samples were generally 3.0kg and
dispatched to assay labs as for RC samples.
Assaying of drill core was for Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, Co, As,
and Zn by acid digest with an AAS finish. Gold was
analysed using fire assay. Fire assay varied
between 30g and 50g charge.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open‐hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face‐sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
RC Drilling has been undertaken using a face
sampling percussion hammer with 5 ¼” to 5 ½"
bits.
Earlier drill programs (Carpentaria Exploration)
prior to 1981 used Percussion and RC drilling with
“crossover” sample collection approximately 1.0m
from the sample face.
Diamond core used standard tube and wireline
recovery systems. Core was oriented using pencil
impact or Craeleus method.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
RC drilling recoveries were monitored visually by
means approximating bag weight to theoretical
weight followed by checking sample loss through
outside return and sampling equipment. Sample
recoveries were recorded on drilling logs.
“Wet” samples were recorded as having lower
quality sample recovery.
Core Recovery was recorded on Drilling logs. Core
recovery was generally >98% except were
fractured ground was recorded on drilling logs.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
RC holes were collared with a well‐fitting stuffing
box to ensure material to outside return was
minimized. Comments around sample recovery
were recorded on drilling logs.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Recovery was visually checked and sample loss of
the fine or coarse fraction was minimized by
monitoring drilling procedure.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Logging was completed by a Geologist using
standard logging procedures and standard logging
codes for both Carpentaria Exploration and
Western Mining Corporation Exploration. This
logging was developed to accurately reflect the
geology of the area and mineralisation styles.
Paper recorded logging has been reported for all
drill holes.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging is qualitative and quantitative in nature

intersections logged.
All RC and Diamond drillholes are logged in full.
Sub‐sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.
Core was cut into either ½ core or ¼ core.
If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
The RC samples were split by the multiple pass
riffle splitter after collection in plastic bags within
the cyclone of the drilling rig. Majority of the
samples were recorded as dry and minimal wet
samples were encountered.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness

sample
preparation
technique.
The samples were sent to an accredited laboratory
for sample preparation and analysis. SGS,
Genalysis, Ultratrace and ALS Laboratories follows
industry best standards in sample preparation
including: optimal drying of the sample, crushing
and pulverization of the entire sample to a grind
size of 80%passingat either 106 or 75 microns.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub‐
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Quality Control (QC) procedures involved the use
of reference material ‐ with blanks and field
sample duplicates.
For the analysis of RC and Percussion samples the
Quality Control (QC) procedures involved the use
of laboratory duplicates and Standards to
determine accuracy and precision. The Standards
used were analysed at a rate of 1 per 20 samples.
Laboratory Duplicates were analysed at a rate of 1
in 10 generally with a repeat bias toward ore grade
(>1.0g/t Au) material
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
_duplicate/second‐half sampling. _
Nil available.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
The sample sizes are believed to be appropriate to
correctly represent the style and thickness of gold
mineralisation in the Laverton region.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
The use of AAS for gold is considered a total
leachable gold assay.
Fire assay are classified as total assays.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments,
etc,
the
parameters
used
in
determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibration factors applied
and their derivation, etc.
No geophysical tools were used to determine any
element concentrations used in the resource
estimate.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) andprecision have been established.
Carpentaria Exploration and WMC Exploration
required laboratories to insert certified standards,
blanks, and check replicates as part of their own
internalprocedures.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
None undertaken for this historical drilling data.
The use of twinned holes. None undertaken for this historical drilling data.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Geological and sampling information was collected
using a paper logging system.
Paper logs have been converted to electronic data
storage.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. None undertaken for this historical drilling data.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down‐hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Initial collar locations were determined by hand
held survey instruments and recorded on drilling
logs.
Final drillhole collarpositions were surveyed by
licenced surveyors.
Nil downhole surveys are recorded for RC or
Percussion drilling.
Diamond drilling has recorded downhole surveys
by Eastman single shot and multishot camera.
Specification of the grid system used. Local grid converted to AMG.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Drillholes are surveyed by licensed surveyors at
the conclusion of theprogram.
Data spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drill spacing in these historical programs were
generally 40 metres by 20 metres. However
spacing varies significantly away from the Korong
and Waihiprospect drilling.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
The drill spacing in these historical programs is
sufficient to establish geological continuity at
Korong and Waihi prospects only. The spacing is
considered
not
sufficient
to
classify
these
prospects as a Mineral Resource.
Away from Korong and Waihi prospects the drill
spacing is insufficent to establish geological
continuity.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. All samples were collected at 1m sample intervals.
No compositing was completed.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
The predominant drill orientation of the drilling is
–60 to local grid west. At this orientation the
intercepts are approximately 90% of true widths.
Deeper drilling at Korong was oriented vertically.
At this orientation intercepts are approximately
75% of true width.
From the sampling to date no bias has been
identified due to the orientation.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
No bias is currently known.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. No documentation of the sample security
procedures
is
available
for
the
historical
information.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No audits or reviews have been undertaken.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The deposit(s) are shear hosted deposits within
Banded Iron Formation of the Laverton belt
associated with the Ninnis and Claypan Fault
Zones. The N and NW striking surface expressions
of gold mineralisation indicate steep east dips
associated with shear zones, and varies from 2m to
15m true thickness within an alteration zone
generally considered to be typical of shear zones
and vein style gold mineralisation found elsewhere
in the Laverton district.
Drill hole
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:
Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Easting and northing of the drill hole collar Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Dip and azimuth of the hole Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Down hole length and interception depth Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Hole length. Refer to attached Appendix 1.
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 attached Appendix 1.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut‐off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Refer to attached Appendix 1.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The high grades in the exploration results have not
been cut. Weighted averaging has only occurred in
diamond drilling, where irregular sample intervals
were taken.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting
exploration results.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting
exploration results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
Drilling at Korong and Waihi was undertaken at an
azimuth of 225 Degrees to SSW and a dip of ‐60 to
‐90, The orientation of the target area/ore zone
has a strike of 315 degrees and dips ‐45 to the
east. The intersection angles for the majority of
drilling were at an angle ‐75 to 90 degrees to the
mineralised zones. Therefore reported downhole
intersections for ‐60 degree holes are approximate
to 90% of true width of the ore zone. The degree
of this depends on the orientation of the hole.
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’). _
Refer to attached Appendix 1. See above.
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 Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Balanced
reporting

Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced
