ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

7 December 2021

RC Drilling to Commence at Black Hills and Calyerup Creek

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Darling Range Project

  • Drilling to commence at Black Hills priority target following regulatory approval

  • o RC Drill rig has mobilised to site, with drilling to commence tomorrow

  • Calyerup Creek Gold Project

  • Final regulatory approval received

  • RC Drill rig mobilising to site with drilling of 50 holes to commence late this week

Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘ Mamba ’, ‘ M24 ’ or the ‘ Company ’) is pleased to announce that after almost 10 weeks, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) has finally approved the programme of works for drilling to commence at the Black Hills and Calyerup Creek Projects. As a result, two RC drill rigs have been mobilised to the projects with drilling to commence imminently.

At the Black Hills Project, located approximately 30km North-East of the Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au deposit discovered by Chalice Mining (See Figure 1), drilling of three deep RC holes will provide the initial test of the high priority EM and magnetic anomaly that is interpreted to extend for approximately 750m North-East to South-West and extend to a depth of around 400m (see Figure 2 and ASX Announcement released on 24 November 2021 titled “ Drilling planned at Black Hills priority target based on EM and 3D Magnetic Modelling ” for full details). The anomaly is associated with a mapped mafic / ultramafic intrusive feature at the northern end of a +6km long PGE trend (see Figure 3). The RC rig has already mobilised to site and drilling is expected to commence tomorrow (Wednesday the 8[th] of December) and will take around 7 to 10 days to complete.

Approvals have also been received for RC drilling of 50 holes on the Calyerup Creek Gold Project, located in the Great Southern of Western Australia. These approvals have taken almost 10 weeks for DMIRS to process, which has slightly delayed the commencement of the drilling. Onsite

preparations for this drilling are well advanced with the RC rig currently mobilising to site, with drilling expected to commence on Friday the 10[th] of December. This drilling will provide the initial drill testing of two 1,400m long soil anomalies which have not undergone any drilling since 1989. The drilling is expected to take around two weeks to complete and is expected to be completed just prior to the end of 2021.

Managing Director, Mike Dunbar said,

“We are pleased to announce that RC drilling is about to commence on two of the Company’s priority targets. The initial drilling at the high priority anomaly at Black Hills and the southern prospect at the Calyerup Creek Gold Project will be completed prior to the end of the year.

Given the approvals that normally take 3 weeks have taken almost 10 weeks to be processed by DMIRS, the Company has already submitted programme of works (PoW’s) the next phase of planned activities for approval at each of the projects so future regulatory delays will be minimised.”
