ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

METMINCO LIMITED

06 December 2018

METMINCO Limited Joint Venture with Anglo Gold Ashanti

Key Points

  • Metminco enters into a joint venture to explore and develop the Chuscal Gold Prospect in Quinchia, Colombia

  • Chuscal is a major drill-ready gold exploration target, defined by anomalous gold levels in both soil and rock chip geochemistry

  • Chuscal is situated 1,700m south of the proposed Miraflores plant and 1,100m south of Tesorito

  • Drilling to commence as soon as permits and approvals granted, anticipated in 2Q 2019

Metminco Limited (“Metminco” or the “Company”) (ASX: MNC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Anglo Gold Ashanti Colombia SA (“AngloGold”) to explore and develop the Chuscal Gold Prospect (“ the Chuscal JV ”).

The Chuscal Gold target is just 1,700m south of Metminco’s proposed plant at Miraflores in Colombia and is another significant gold target, together with Tesorito, (refer ASX announcement dated 30 August 2018), within a 3km radius of the Miraflores deposit (refer Figure 1).

Chuscal features a large, undrilled surface gold geochemical anomaly (soil and rockchip) with high grade samples (up to 54gpt) within a large lower grade envelope. Channel sampling from a small scale underground mine indicated continuous, highly encouraging grades beneath the target zone (refer ASX announcement dated 16 September 2016[1] ).

1 The Company cautions that the foreign estimates for the project are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not yet done sufficient work to classify the resources as mineral resources in accordance with JORC code. It is uncertain that following evaluation or further work that the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with JORC Code.

Executive Chairman Kevin Wilson commented: “The Chuscal target represents a major opportunity for Metminco. It complements our existing gold resource at Miraflores and the target at Tesorito. We look forward to working with our partner at AngloGold to explore and develop this exciting addition to our portfolio in Quinchia.”

The Chuscal gold zone Is associated with two diorite stocks probably of Miocene age, that have intruded into the large, Cretaceous-age igneous body known as the Irra Monzonite. The stocks are part of a system that generated a large gold rich hydrothermal event, that produced a NW orientated, 900m by 500m zone (+100ppb Au in soils) within which highly anomalous rock samples have been collected by AngloGold (refer Figure 2). The rock chip sampling has defined:

  • a Central Zone of 600m by 240m (183 samples) the average grade of samples is 2.66gpt Au (uncut) or 1.94gpt Au (cut[2] ). This is incorporated within

  • a broader area (Main Zone) of 900m by 530m (289 samples) where the average grade of samples is 1.79gpt Au (uncut) or 1.33gpt Au (cut[2] ).

  • Topcut to 20gpt Au, 6 samples, max 54gpt Au.

The rock chip sampling indicates the potential for high grade mineralisation within the Central Zone where 12 of the samples encountered grades over 10gpt Au and six reported grades over 20gpt Au, with the highest at 54gpt Au.

The underground artisanal workings occur within the Central Zone at a depth of approximately 70m below the ridge indicating the continuation of mineralisation at depth. The soil and rock chip anomalies remain open to the north.

Key Terms of the Chuscal JV

  • Metminco and AngloGold have formed the Chuscal JV with ownership: MNC 10% and AngloGold 90%

  • Metminco can earn a further 41% interest by spending US$2.5 million over 3 years, including at least 7,500m of drilling. AngloGold is free carried during this period

  • Once Metminco has earned its 51% interest, the parties may participate pro rata or dilute. On a party being diluted to 9.9%, the participation of the diluting party reverts to a 2% Net Profit Royalty

  • Metminco is the manager of the Chuscal JV

  • AngloGold has a one-off right to buy back a 21% interest from Metminco on the publication of a JORC resource of at least 3 million ounces of gold.

  • the price of the 21% interest is to be agreed between the parties or determined by an independent valuer

  • on exercise of the buyback right:

     - ownership will be AngloGold 70% and Metminco 30%.
    
     - AngloGold will be manager of the JV
    
  • AngloGold will free carry Metminco through feasibility and until permits have been

    • granted for a +250,000oz annual production, development proposal.
  • Other terms as usual for a joint venture of this nature.

Development of Drill Program

Subject to landowner access, channel sampling of the underground workings will be undertaken and soil sampling will be extended to the north of the existing anomaly. This will allow confirmation of existing results and assist developing the structural model.

In addition, 3D modelling of existing aeromagnetic data will be undertaken to complement the surface information and assist to define drill targets. Further details will be provided once this process is completed.

Drilling will commence once the exploration titles are granted and all permits and approvals are obtained, which is anticipated to occur in 2Q 2019.

AGA conducted another prospect assessment in March 2005 from which it was
reported that artisanal miners were working auriferous quartz-pyrite stockwork
