Exploration Activities

Following the successful IPO in February, the Company immediately commenced on ground exploration activities on the Darling Range and Calyerup Creek Projects, while also progressing the Kimberley and Ashburton projects through data compilation and targeting (See Figure 1)

Darling Range Nickel, Copper and PGE Project:

The Darling Range Project comprises of two granted exploration licenses (Black Hill – E70/5147 and Batty Bog – E70/5329) and two exploration licence applications at Mistake Creek (E70/5403 and E70/5753). The project covers 34 blocks or approximately 100km2 and is located between 100km and 120km north-east of Perth. The nearby country towns include Northam, Toodyay and New Norcia and Gingin being 40km to the west (Figure 2).

The project covers parts of the northern portion of the high-grade Jimperding Metamorphic Belt and associated peripheral migmatites. This belt is in the Western Gneiss Terrain, which is the western-most province of the Archaean Yilgarn Block. Outcrops within the project area were noted to be fairly poor and were dominated by North trending dolerite dykes and quartz/quartzite ridges, which appear to be structurally controlled.

During the quarter Mamba completed a helicopter based VTEM[tm] Max Electro Magnetic (VTEM) survey over the Darling Range Project. The VTEM survey identified thirteen “late time” conductors , which are consistent with a bedrock source.

The “late time” bedrock VTEM conductors are associated with magnetic anomalies that are consistent with signatures of mafic or ultramafic rocks, which are known to host PGE Ni Cu sulphide mineralisation in the region- including at the Gonneville intrusion on Chalice Mining Limited’s (ASX: CHN) Julimar Project (See Chalice Mining ASX announcement titled “ New highly prospective EM conductors and nickel – copper soil anomalies defined at Hartog Target, Julimar Project ” dated 25 March 2021).

The survey covered the northern Mistake Creek (E70/5403) that neighbours the Mandrake Resources (ASX: MAN) Jimperding Project where a recent EM survey identified a number of strong EM conductors, some of which trend into M24’s tenure (See MAN ASX Announcement titled “ Multiple Strong EM Conductors at Jimperding ”, dated 17 February). The VTEM survey identified five bedrock conductors with coincident magnetic anomalies (See Figure 3).

The Black Hills tenement, which is located between Chalice Mining’s (ASX: CHN) Julimar Discovery east of Perth and recent strong EM conductor discovery made by Pursuit Minerals (ASX: PUR) (See PUR: ASX Announcement titled: “ Multiple Strong EM Conductors Detected in Calingiri East PGE-Ni-Cu”, dated 19[th] February), was also covered by the VTEM survey. The survey identified five late time conductors which are coincident with magnetic anomalies (See Figure 4).

The Batty Bog tenement, is located north of New Norcia between Caspian Resources (ASX: CPN) Yarawindah Brook Project, where there have been significant PGE drill intersections and a number of EM conductors (See CPN ASX Announcement titled: “ Company Presentation - RIU Explorers Conference” , dated 17[th] of February) and the recent significant gold discovery made by Liontown Resources (ASX: LTR) which included 44m @ 1.6 g/t gold including 20m @ 3.2 g/t gold (See LTR Announcement titled: “ Outstanding Intercept of 44m @ 1.6 g/t gold in first Reverse Circulation drill hole at the Moora Project, WA” , dated 17[th] of February). The tenement was covered by the VTEM survey and identified three late time conductors which are coincident with magnetic anomalies (See Figure 5).

Calyerup Creek Gold Project

The Calyerup Creek Project which is comprised of one exploration license (E70/4998) and one exploration licence application (E70/5707) and covers 28 blocks for approximately 45km2. It is located approximately 12Km east of Jerramungup township in the Great Southern region of Western Australia (see Figure 6).

The Project has undergone very little exploration in the last 30 years. The last significant programme was undertaken in the late 1980’s when Aurelia Resources undertook exploration at the Northern, Central and Southern prospects. Exploration at the Southern prospect identified a number of significant zones of mineralisation including 9m @ 4.71 g/t gold from 1m down hole including 3m @ 12.71 g/t gold in CCRC008, 9m @ 2.63 g/t gold from 9m in WLCC- P12 and 5m @ 3.62 g/t gold from 24m including 2m @ 7.61 g/t gold in CCRC002 (See Figure 7) (see Mamba Prospectus dated 14 December 2020 for full details of historical exploration including JORC tables).

==> picture [353 x 240] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Calyerup Creek Project – Southern Prospect Cross Section

Historically a soil anomaly has been defined over approximately 4km of strike length. The Company has undertaken initial field visits to understand the suitability of the soil sampling and to determine the preferred path forward. As a result of these field investigations, a significant soil sampling programme has been planned.

During the quarter, an additional exploration licence application (E70/5707) was made to the south of the original Calyerup Creek tenement (E70/4998) expanding the project by approximately 35km[2] . The new application covers an area which has had no historical exploration. The tenement covers mafic gneisses between two granitic intrusions and provides a compelling exploration target.

As part of the preparation for the drilling, as part of the Company’s environmental policies and procedures, a detailed dieback management plan has been developed for the project and approved by the regulators. This management plan along with the flora and fauna surveys, which have been planned, will allow drilling to be undertaken in Q4 of 2021.

The initial plan for the expanded project is to undertake an extensive soil sampling programme to better understand and define the historical anomalies, providing direct drill targets for drilling in Q4 of 2021. This soil sampling programme will be completed in the current quarter.

Ashburton Gold Project

Exploration Licences E08/2913 and E09/2332 and Exploration licence applications E08/3190, E08/3266 & E08/3343 form the Ashburton Project covering 363 blocks or approximately 610km2 of the established mineralogical terrain in the eastern part of the Gascoyne Mining District of Western Australia. The project is approximately 190km south of Onslow, 240km west of Paraburdoo and 220km north-east of Carnarvon.

The Ashburton project area lies to the east of the Carnarvon Basin within early Proterozoic rocks of the Morrissey Metamorphic Suite from the Capricorn Orogen in the Gascoyne Complex. Gold mineralisation is associated with quartz veins hosted in the early Proterozoic schists and gneisses of the Morrissey Suite. The gold mineralisation is commonly, but not universally, associated with malachite, chalcopyrite and minor galena with a highly variable structural control and orientation.

Early exploration comprised small scale prospecting chiefly for gold and base metals, which is evident by the number of shallow prospecting pits. More recently, work comprised geological mapping around known occurrences, rock chip and stream sediment sampling, reverse circulation (RC) drilling and an induced polarisation interpretation. The project area is prospective given it lies on a major regional structure, which separates into numerous “horsetail” structures within the project (see Figure 8). This regional setting is similar to the geological setting of the Glenburgh Gold Project (Gascoyne Resources Limited) which contains over 510,000 ounces of gold (see Gascoyne Resources ASX announcement titled: Group Mineral Resources Grow to over 1.3Moz , dated 18 December 2020). Drilling and rock chip sampling completed to date has highlighted the prospectivity of the project with rock chip samples up to 46.6 g/t gold and drilling results up to 4m @ 21.5 g/t identified from the Lyndon region (See Mamba Prospectus dated 14 December 2020 for full details and JORC tables).

Kimberley Copper, Silver, Nickel and Gold Projects

The Kimberley Project comprises of 3 sub-projects in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The project includes Copper Flat, Ruby Plains and Speewah East areas (See Figure 9).

Figure 9: Kimberley Project – Location

Copper Flats Area:

The Copper Flats Area is comprised of five exploration licence applications (ELA 80/4569, 4586, 5247, 5280 & 5281) covering 342 blocks or approximately 1,025km[2] and is centred approximately 125km eastnortheast of Halls Creek, and 215km south of Kununurra. The project area comprises Ord Basin sediments and volcanics within the Hardman Syncline (see Figure 10). The Copper Flats area has been explored since the 1970s, with numerous reports of visible copper mineralisation in outcrop. Previous exploration includes rock chip and channel sampling along with RC drilling. The Copper Flats is an early-stage exploration area with excellent first pass results including 15m @ 8% Cu & 18g/t Ag , 16m @ 7.8% Cu and 9m @ 7.2% Cu and 174 g/t Ag from channel sampling (See Mamba Prospectus dated 14 December 2020 for full details and JORC tables).

Past exploration has identified areas of strong geochemical anomalism in favourable structural settings. The interpretation of drilling and mapping suggests that the copper mineralisation at Copper Flats is both lateral stratabound mineralisation and a vertical narrow structurally controlled mineralisation.

The Copper flats exploration licence applications fall within the Ord River Regeneration Reserve, which was established in 1967 to facilitate active regeneration of the area (fencing, removal of cattle and other feral herbivores and replanting of vegetation). There have been a number of historical exploration licences within the reserve and there are current pastoral leases within the reserve, so exploration activities are not expected to be impacted by the Reserve. To allow grant of the tenements, the Company is in consultation with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and is developing a detailed conservation management plan (CMP) that will outline how exploration will be conducted. This process is well understood, and CMP’s are used extensively by explorers and mining companies across the state when conducting activities within any reserves managed by DBCA. The CMP is currently being prepared and is expected to be submitted for consideration in the current quarter, which will allow the tenements to be granted and field activities to commence in the 2021 field season. Prior to the tenements being granted, compilation of the historical data is being completed and reprocessing of existing geophysical datasets is underway.

Figure 10: Copper Flats Area – Geology and significant exploration results (with GSWA 1:500,000 geology)

Ruby Plains Area

The Ruby Plains Area is comprised of four granted exploration licences (E80/5079, E80/5232, E80/5409 and E80/5411) and five exploration licence applications (E80/5085, 5086, 5519, 5577 & 5578) covering 306 blocks or approximately 900km[2] . The project is located approximately 50km from Halls Creek. The area is located within the Halls Creek Orogenic Belt, one of the principal tectonic elements of the Kimberley Region. Cobalt (Co)-manganese (Mn) mineralisation is present in the Ruby Plains Group, which is the main stratigraphic unit in the area. Historical exploration across the project area has focussed predominantly on Mn mineralisation (with associated Co mineralisation) with mapping, magnetic surveys, rock chip sampling and drilling. The Ruby Plains Sub-Project is an early-stage exploration project where the Company is focused on exploring for intrusion related nickel, copper and cobalt mineralisation similar to the Savannah Nickel Mine which is operated by Panoramic Resources (ASX: PAN). The prospectivity of the area has been well established by past explorers.

Activities during the quarter have been limited to negotiating heritage agreements with the traditional owners to allow the tenement applications to proceed to grant and data compilations in preparation for the 2021 field season.

Speewah East Area:

The Speewah East Area is located approximately 50km south-west of Kununurra in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. The Sub-Project comprises of one exploration licence and one exploration licence application. The project covers 160 blocks for approximately 480km[2] . The tenements are located on the western and relatively undeformed margin of the Kimberley Block, where they cover an antiformal structure known as the Speewah Dome and a section of the Greenvale Fault that hosts fluorite and barite mineralisation. Limited historical exploration has been completed to date. Potential for high-grade gold targets exists in structural and litho-structural traps. Exploration activities should focus for high-grade gold targets in significant regional dome structures with major regional faults of gold-bearing arsenic quartz chlorite veins in both multiple flat dipping thrusts and vertical shears associated with gold-base
