PRIMARY GOLD INTERCEPTED IN MAIDEN EDJUDINA AIRCORE PROGRAM

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Significant gold mineralisation intercepted at the Jump Up 1 Prospect from the Company’s first aircore (AC) drilling program undertaken at the Edjudina Gold Project (Edjudina or Project)

  • The program successfully returned multiple significant gold intercepts:

  • 12m at 0.84 g/t Au from 68m (Incl. 4m at 1.92 g/t Au from 72m) (EDJAC085)

  • 3m at 1.50 g/t Au from 76m (EDJAC071)

  • 20m at 0.24 g/t Au from 16m (EDJAC075)

  • 12m at 0.20 g/t Au from 72m (EDJAC070)

  • The Jump Up 1 Prospect remains open at depth and along strike

  • Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is planned for Q1 CY2023 to test extensions of mineralisation at depth

  • Further AC drilling is planned to test the 2.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly along strike of Jump Up 1, in addition to testing additional prospects Jump Up 2 – 4

  • Following the successful entitlement offer completed in November, M3M is well funded to commence follow-up drilling in 2023

M3 Mining Limited (ASX: M3M) ( M3 Mining or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on the recently completed maiden AC drilling program at the Edjudina Gold Project ( Edjudina or the Project ), located in the Eastern Goldfields, approximately 150km northeast of Kalgoorlie, WA.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SIMON ELEY:

“Our maiden drilling program completed in September at Edjudina was successful in uncovering primary gold mineralisation that warrants follow up RC drill testing. The intersections from the Jump Up 1 prospect indicate a mineralised system that is open along strike and at depth. The Company is actively planning a follow up RC program which will provide us with a greater understanding on the style of mineralisation at Jump Up.”

Edjudina Gold Project Drilling Summary

A total of 7,826m of AC drilling was completed by Raglan Drilling in September 2022. A total of 119 holes were drilled across six of the nine prospects at the Project. The program was successful in uncovering and confirming primary gold mineralisation that warrants further work.

The prospects drilled have a much deeper weathering profile than previously thought. The average hole depth was 66m, eleven holes exceeded 100m depth with the deepest hole drilled being 145m. The deeper weathering profile is encouraging for a geological system that has undergone strong alteration and deformation; an indicator for a potentially large mineralised system.

All holes were inclined and drilled until drill-bit refusal. Hole spacing varied from 25m – 80m and line spacing varied from 60m – 200m. Sampling for gold was undertaken in four metre composites downhole, except at the bottom of each hole where variable composites were taken to achieve a one metre sample for the last metre drilled. The bottom of hole sample was assayed for gold in addition to 60-element analysis in order to provide the company with a detailed geochemical dataset of the drilled prospects.

The best results from this initial drilling program were recorded at the Jump Up 1 prospect, where drilling was designed to follow-up a historical intercept of 2m at 5.69 g/t Au from 37m in drill hole JURB093 (see Figure 1). Results confirmed the historical intercept and outlined the presence of a 1.2km long northwest striking gold system that is open both along strike and depth.

The Jump Up 1 prospect contains a sequence of NW-SE striking volcanic and intrusive mafic units to the east with a narrow metasedimentary unit to the west intercepted on the two northernmost lines. Mineralisation occurs within a sheared mafic volcanic unit, interpreted to be a basalt. The higher-grade zones are associated with chlorite-carbonate-sericite alteration and minor disseminated sulphides. There is also a lesser zone of mineralisation associated with the contact between the basalt and the metasedimentary unit. This style of mineralisation was encountered in all four drill lines at Jump Up 1 which increases the confidence of success in further drill programs.

In addition to current and historical high-grade intercepts at Jump Up 1, there has also been extensive soil sampling completed in the past by other parties around Jump Up 1 that indicate an additional 2.5km gold-in-soils anomaly continues to the southeast along strike from where the recent drilling was completed.

Three further prospects (Jump Up 2 – 4) were initially planned to be drilled, however, due to limited availability of the AC drilling rig these were not drilled in the September program. These prospects are associated with historical soil anomalies and will be drilled in the next phase of AC drilling at Edjudina.

Edjudina Gold Project Drilling Summary (continued)

The Rainbow and Rainbow North prospects are located 7km and 12km respectively to the northeast from the Jump Up prospects (see Figure 2). These targets were identified by previous geochemical soil sampling and ground magnetic surveys (See ASX releases; High Priority Gold Targets Identified at Edjudina and Robust Drill Targets Identified at Edjudina Gold Project released on 1/12/21 and 5/7/22 respectively).

The drilling at Rainbow North ?LH2 & 3, and Rainbow 2 was completed over the centers of previously announced gold-in-soils anomalies and along strike to the northwest of Legacy Iron Ore’s Golden Rainbow deposit. The lines drilled intercepted a mixed group of sediments and volcaniclastic material, mainly metamorphosed siltstones and sandstones with varying degrees of interbedded tuff. At these three prospects, notable intercepts include; 4m at 0.32 g/t Au from 36m (EDJAC001) and 16m at 0.13 g/t Au from 60m (EDJAC043). The Company is currently reviewing the multi-element data from bottom of hole and may decide to follow up these intercepts with RC drilling to test continuation of mineralisation.

The remaining prospects drilled – Rainbow North 1 and Rainbow 1 – were to the east of the other Rainbow prospects and intercepted varying compositions of a fine-grained felsic mica schist. These prospects were also targeting gold-in-soil anomalism, however, in a geological zone that has never previously been drill tested. Only minor gold mineralisation (Au < 0.1 g/t) was encountered over these two prospects with a significant intercept of 4m at 0.05 g/t Au from 8m (EDJAC050).

Next Steps

The Company is planning follow-up RC and AC drilling – the Jump Up 1 prospect being the number one priority. RC drilling will be able to determine the continuation of mineralisation at depth which AC drilling was not able to discern due to drill depth limitations. It will also provide the Company with a greater detail of structural knowledge on the trend of mineralisation.

AC drilling will test the remaining prospects at Jump Up that were not drilled in the previous program due to rig availability. These prospects are a high priority for the Company as they are each centred over untested historical gold-in-soils anomalies and could represent zones of new mineralisation. AC drilling will also test extensions to mineralisation at Jump Up 1 to the southeast along a historically sampled 2.5km gold-in-soil anomaly.

The follow-up drill programs are planned for the new year and is subject to DMIRS approval. M3 Mining will update shareholders as the project advances.

Appendix 2 – JORC Table

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report - Drilling

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Samples within the Projects were collected using Aircore (AC). Holes were angled at 60°. Given the status of the Projects
this is considered reasonable.

AC composite samples were collected every 4m downhole, except nearing the bottom of hole where composites varied
to allow a 1m sample for the last meter drilled. Samples were collected using industry standard methods.

All samples were crushed and split at the independent international accredited laboratory, with up to 3kg pulverised,
with 50g samples analysed by Industry-standard methods

The sampling techniques used are deemed appropriate for the style of mineralisation and exploration undertaken.

M3 understands all Sample preparation was completed by independent international accredited laboratories.
Criteria Commentary
Drilling
techniques

AC Drilling was undertaken by Raglan Drilling. Industry Drilling methods and equipment were utilised to maximise
sample integrity and recovery.
Drill sample
recovery

Sample recovery and condition data are noted in geological comments as part of the logging process for AC drilling.

No quantitative twinned drilling analysis has been undertaken. No relationship was able to be determined due to limited
data.
Logging
All holes were field logged by the companies geologist using established company procedures during the exploration
period. Lithological, alteration and mineralogical nomenclature of the deposit, as well as sulphide content, were
recorded.

Logging is suitable for the assessment of exploration potential.

All drill holes were logged in full.

Logging was qualitative and quantitative in nature.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

Composite samples were taken via scoop-method from surface drill spoil piles by contract field staff for AC holes.
Samples were prepared and analysed at Jinning for all M3 exploration which encompasses the majority of exploration
results presented in this Report. Samples were pulverized so that each sample had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns.

All composite samples and bottom of hole samples were analysed for gold via lead fire assay.

A 4-acid digest (HNO3-HBr-HF-HCl) was used for 60 multi-elements for bottom of hole geochemistry.

Based on the information provided sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly represent interpreted
mineralisation given the status of the projects and allow an assessment of exploration potential, the thickness and
consistency of the intersections, the sampling methodology and assay value ranges for Au.

Industry Standard QAQC was utilised included standard and blanks.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

All samples were assayed by industry-standard techniques.

Typical analysis methods are detailed in the previous section and are considered ‘near total’ values.

Routine ‘standard’ (mineralised pulp) Certified Reference Material (CRM) was inserted by M3 at a nominal rate of 1 in 30
samples. Routine ‘blank’ material (unmineralised sand) was inserted at a nominal rate of 1 in 30 samples. No significant
issues were noted.

The analytical laboratories provided their own routine quality controls within their own practices as per international
ISO standards. No significant issues were noted.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

While no independent sampling was undertaken by M3 of the original drill samples, various CP’s have reported the
exploration results to JORC Code 2012. Based on the digital data review M3 finds no reason to question the veracity of
the exploration results provided and reported in this Report.

No twin holes have been completed due to the early stage of exploration.
Location of data
points

Drill collars were set out using a handheld GPS and the final collar were collected using a handheld GPS. Sample
locations were collected using a handheld GPS and are considered acceptable for the nature of this programme.

Holes without downhole survey use planned or compass bearing/dip measurements for survey control.

GPS coordinates for each collar was undertaken using the standard inbuilt GPS systems grid system – WGS84 UTM Zone
51.
Data spacing and
distribution

The spacing and location of the majority of the drilling in the projects is, by the nature of early exploration, variable.

The spacing and location of data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes.

Due to the early stage of exploration, the drill spacing is not considered to be suitable to estimate and report Mineral
Resources.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure

Limited drilling has been completed to confirm the optimal drilling orientation. Exploration Results are reported, and no
estimate is completed as further works are required.
Sample security
M3 staff and contractors ensured a strict chain of custody procedures that are adhered to for drill samples.

All sample bags were pre-printed and pre-numbered. Sample bags were placed in bulka bags and closed with a zip tie

==> picture [115 x 92] intentionally omitted <==

Criteria Commentary
such that no sample material could spill out and no one could tamper with the sample once it left the company’s
custody.
Audits or reviews
M3’s review is independent of the Company and all previous owners.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

The Edjudina Project consists of 7 granted tenements, 5 exploration licenses and 2 prospecting licenses.

No joint venture or royalties are understood to impact the tenements.

No known impediments are understood to occur to allow further exploration.
Exploration done
by other parties

Several generations of drilling and exploration has been completed within the Edjudina Project, including geochemical
surveys, air core drilling and RC drilling occurring within the tenement packages.

Exploration is considered to be at an early stage across all tenements.
Geology
The data supplied indicates mineralisation within the tenements is potentially in line with the commonly observed Eastern
Goldfields shear hosted, structurally control mineralisation style.

Given the tenements are either along strike, or along interpreted similar splays, of the highly structurally controlled
Yilgangi Goldfield, mineralisation within the tenements is likely to be highly structurally controlled requiring phased
exploration methods which are targeted with the results analysed in detail between each phase.
Drill hole
Information

Provided in Appendix 1
Data aggregation
methods

No high-grade cuts were applied,

Appendix 1 details all results above 0.10 g/t Au. The report includes only samples above this grade with no internal waste
included.

No metal equivalence was utilised.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept widths

The geometry of the mineralisation is not confirmed, however, all results reported are considered.

All results were reported as down holes, as noted in the relevant sections.
Diagrams
Suitable figures have been included in the body of the announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Key results and conclusions have been included in the body of the announcement.
Other substantive
exploration data

Historical rock sampling and drilling data mentioned in the release can be found in previous releases and detailed in the
Independent Geologist Report in the prospectus.
Further work
Follow up geophysical, drilling and soil sampling is planned during 2023.
