TABAKOROLE RESOURCE EXCEEDS 1 MILLION OUNCES Recent discoveries significantly enhance open pit mining potential

Marvel Gold Limited (ASX: MVL) ( Marvel or the Company ) is pleased to announce the upgraded JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the Tabakorole Gold Project ( Tabakorole or the Project ).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Indicated and Inferred Resource of 26.5Mt at 1.2g/t gold for 1.025Moz (at a 0.6 g/t cut-off), representing a 12% increase in ounces from the 2020 MRE.

Note: Reported at a cut-off grade of 0.6 g/t Au, differences may occur due to rounding.

  • The upgraded Tabakorole MRE exhibits attractive development attributes:

  • 70% of the Mineral Resource (715koz) sits within 150m of surface, expected to support a low-strip, open-pittable production scenario.

  • The recent discovery of shallow, higher-grade zones has contributed significantly to the upgraded resource – their location parallel to the preexisting resource is expected to provide low-strip starter pit options.

  • High metallurgical recoveries from initial metallurgical testwork indicate Tabakorole is amenable to a simple processing flowsheet.

  • There are opportunities for growth in these newly discovered zones. The north-west zone has gaps of up to 200m that require infill drilling and has only been modelled to a vertical depth of 140m.

  • The MRE provides a solid foundation for continued resource growth at Tabakorole, with an expansive drilling campaign across the 830km[2] landholding planned to commence in Q4.

Managing Director Phil Hoskins, commenting on the Tabakorole MRE:

“The upgraded Mineral Resource at Tabakorole is a real exclamation point on a solid year’s exploration in Mali. The deposit continues to demonstrate consistent thicknesses and grades over the 3.2km strike length and the discovery of two shallow, higher-grade zones of mineralisation adjacent to the existing deposit has provided some excellent low-strip starter pit options for a subsequent mining operation.”

“With 70% of the resource in the top 150m and over one million ounces in total, combined with high metallurgical recoveries averaging 97%, Tabakorole is shaping up to meet the criteria for development. In the coming year however, our focus will be on making additional discoveries across our 830km[2] landholding (one of Mali’s largest) to complement our growing baseload resource. We will provide an update of the Company’s specific plans later this month as we embark on our near-deposit exploration program.”

Recent discoveries enhancing the open pit mining potential

A highlight of the field season was the discovery of a shallow, higher-grade zone of mineralisation sitting adjacent to the north-western portion of the deposit (see Figures 2, 4 and 5). Some of the more significant intercepts included:

  • 24m at 2.4 g/t gold from 35m in hole 21TBKDD021[1]

  • 21m at 1.5 g/t gold from 26m in hole 21TBKDD020[1] .

  • 16m at 2.0 g/t gold from 75m in hole 20TBKRC014[2]

The NW zone has been modelled in 2 lodes in the upgraded MRE, with lengths of ~230m and ~300m respectively. The NW zone remains open between the 2 lodes due to the sparse drilling in this area and also at depth and will be a focus of future work targeting near-deposit resource growth opportunities (see Figure 5).

Drilling also discovered a shallow, higher-grade zone of mineralisation sitting adjacent to the central portion of the deposit. Some of the more significant intercepts included:

  • 21m at 2.6 g/t gold from 70m in hole 21TBKDD014[3] .

  • 22m at 1.8 g/t gold from 77m in hole 20TBKRC006[4]

  • 12m at 2.0 g/t gold from 18m and 18m at 1.9 g/t gold from 53m in hole 20TBKRC005[4] .

This zone has been modelled in the upgraded MRE to a length of ~120m and to a maximum depth of 120m. This zone remains open at depth, whilst strike potential needs to be further investigated.

Reporting Cut-off Grades

The resource is considered amenable to open cut mining and is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.6g/t Au, which is both statistically robust and consistent with economic cutoff grades applied at other operations in the region. The final cut-off determination will be dependent on the scale of any potential future operation and the prevailing gold price. A range of other cut-offs presented in Table 2 demonstrates the grade vs cut-off relationships.

Opportunities for resource growth

There are numerous near-deposit opportunities for growing the Tabakorole MRE, including:

  • Strike potential and depth extensions of the newly discovered parallel zones (see Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5). Figures 4 and 5 show the updated resource along the 800m long NW zone, highlighting areas that are yet to be brought into the resource model due to the sparse drilling between the 2 lodes.

  • Numerous drill-ready targets within a 15km radius of the Tabakorole MRE underpinned by multi-element soil anomalism and supporting structural data.

  • Continued systematic exploration of the Company’s 830km[2] landholding (see Figure 5) – no exploration has been conducted outside of the Tabakorole permit since the 1990’s.

best historical intercept of 14m at 9.8g/t[5] and on the Groot trend where recent aircore drilling encountered 4m at 1.3g/t[6] and 4m at 2.7g/t[6] ending in mineralisation (see Figure 6 below).

Combined with an ideal structural setting proximal to the Bannifin Shear Zone, these occurrences of mineralisation provide support to the prospectivity of the Company’s landholdings.

Later this month, the Company will detail its exploration plans for the upcoming field season commencing in Q4. Key programs are expected to include:

  • An expansive drill program testing numerous high-conviction targets with coincident soil anomalism and structural support.

  • Continued collection of multi-element soil geochemistry and, where appropriate, geophysics.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE – TECHNICAL

The reader is referred to Marvel’s maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Tabakorole announced on 30 September 2020. Only sections of that announcement that require updates have been included below. All other sections remain unchanged.

Project Ownership

The Project is held through 100%-owned licences as well as two separate joint ventures, with Oklo Resources Limited (ASX: OKU) ( Oklo JV) , in which the Company holds an 80% interest) and with Altus Strategies plc ( Altus JV) , in which the Company currently holds a 51% interest, expected to increase to 70% in the near future.

Drilling Summary

During the 2020-21 field season, the Company completed a total of 9,995m of drilling consisting of 4,320m of Diamond drilling (DD) and 5,675m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling which have been used to generate the updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

RC drilling was carried out by Target Drilling while DD was carried out by Capital Limited.

Mineral Resource Estimation

A summary of the material information used to estimate the mineral resource is presented in accordance with JORC 2012 requirements.

The Mineral Resources reported here represent Mineral Resources that were estimated for the Tabakorole gold deposit using the methodology as described below and in Appendix 1. Indicated and Inferred categories of mineralisation have been defined and are reported here as Mineral Resources.

Estimation Methodology

Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) with change of support was selected as the most appropriate method for estimating gold for the Tabakorole deposit. A total of two grade estimate domains have been developed within the mineralised zones and based on the geological description in the previous sections and an approximate lower cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au.

A block size of 20mE x 25mN x 10mRL was selected as an appropriate block size for estimation based on the drill spacing (50m strike spacing or better), geometry of mineralisation and the likely potential future selective mining unit or SMU (i.e. appropriate for potential open pit mining). An SMU dimension of 5mE x 12.5mN x 5mRL was selected as appropriate for support correction investigation. An indirect lognormal support correction was applied to emulate mining selectivity for the above SMU dimension.

The MIK grade estimates consist of a series of proportions and grades above the predefined cut-off grades estimated into a ‘panel’ or large blocks. The proportions and grades are derived from a targeted SMU block size via change of support process. As such, while the proportions and grades at a certain cut-off for any given panel may be known, its position within the panel is not. To assist with a more intuitive presentation of the model grades, the MIK grade estimates have been localised to SMU dimension blocks using a process identical to that of Localised Uniform Conditioning. The SMU

8

==> picture [595 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

sized blocks have been assigned a single grade so that the panel MIK grade estimate grade tonnage curve has been replicated.

Drill Hole Flagging, Compositing, Top Cuts and Variography

Raw sample intervals from the drill hole database were flagged by the estimation domains and composited to 2m downhole intervals for the purposes of equalising sample support and as an input to grade estimation.

The impact of higher-grade gold outliers was examined on composite data using log probability plots and cumulative statistics. This is particularly relevant in the case where extreme grade values may exist, however MIK estimation as implemented at Tabakorole is independent of top cutting and was therefore not applied to the final grade estimate.

Grade and indicator variography were developed based on the downhole composites. Indicator variography was input to the MIK estimates while grade variography was used for the change of support analysis applied to the MIK estimates.

Mining and Metallurgical Parameters and Other Material Modifying Factors

The proposed development scenario for the deposit is as an open cut (pit) mine. No additional mining dilution has been applied to the reported estimate.

The oxide portion of the resource only constitutes approximately 10% of the contained metal. To date, the Company has not completed any metallurgical test work on oxide material. Historically, one campaign has been completed on oxide material. The test work was carried out by Peacocke and Simpson in Zimbabwe in October 2015 on a 100kg sample collected using auger drilling over an area of 20 x 25m centred around hole 06TKDDH-059. This unoptimized test work yielded a total of 90.6% recovery using a conventional cyanidation process. Due to the limited coverage and selective nature of sampling, the results from this test work are not considered representative of the deposit.

The fresh rock portion of the resource constitutes the remaining 90% of the contained metal in the Resource. The Company completed a preliminary program of metallurgical test work during the 2020-21 field season and results from this test work were reported on 27 January 2021.

A total of four composite samples were collected from four diamond drillholes completed by the Company in mid-2020. The composites were made from the coarse split of diamond drilling samples based on the drillhole locations within the deposit and the head grade assay of the original samples. The composites targeted the current Mineral Resource grade of 1.2 g/t gold and ranged from 1.1-1.9 g/t gold. All samples were taken in fresh rock as this material represents approximately 90% of the Tabakorole Mineral Resource.

Results from the bottle roll testing showed high recoveries from all samples, with low cyanide and lime consumption (Table 3). Average leach recoveries were 92.7%, 94.8% and 96.6% for the four samples at the three grind sizes. The high recoveries show that the gold is likely to be recoverable via a simple carbon-in-leach process flow sheet, with no indications of refractory gold.

No additional modifying factors have been considered as part of this Resource estimate based on the metallurgical results.

Mineral Resource Constraints

The Mineral Resource at Tabakorole represents a global resource and has not been constrained by an optimised pit shell or similar. This is considered appropriate for the current level of understanding and development of the Mineral Resource.

Classification

Resource classification was based on geological confidence and a spatial review of estimation result parameters which reflected the quality of the estimate for each block. At the Tabakorole deposit, areas that had high confidence estimate values, had sufficient drilling density (≤50m section spaced drilling) or were proximal to 50m spaced drill lines were classified as Indicated Resources. The remainder was classified as Inferred.

Section 1. Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
Techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg
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.
Core assay samples were collected on half core sawed lengthwise with a diamond
saw. Sampling intervals were marked by an appropriately qualified geologist
depending on geology. Sampling intervals vary between 0.3 and 5 metres in length
with an average of 1 metre in mineralisation.
Reverse circulation samples are collected directly from the drill rig cyclone at 1
metre intervals and composited into 2 metre samples. Each sample is split with a
mechanical rifle splitter to yield an assay sample of approximately five kilograms in
weight. The sub-sample is marked and bagged on site.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.
Core samples are selected based on geological criteria (presence of quartz veining
and sulphide mineralisation). Sample lengths are between 0.3 and 1.2m in

crushed to -3mm, split and a 250g sub-sample is pulverised with gold determined

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,bywhat method,etc).
RC drilling was completed using a face sampling bit to drill a hole of 125mm in
diameter. Holes were drilled with a dip of between 45 and 60 degrees and oriented
roughly perpendicular to mineralisation where possible.
Diamond drilling was conducted using HQ (63mm in diameter) in weathered
material and then reduced to NQ (40mm in diameter) in fresh rock. Holes were
drilled with a dip of between 45 and 60 degrees and oriented roughly perpendicular
to mineralisation. 2020 Diamond drill core was oriented using a Reflex ACT II core
orientation tool.
Drill
Sample
Recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Drill hole recoveries were recorded during logging by measuring the length of core
recovered per 3m core run. Core recovery was calculated as a percentage recovery
of actual core length divided by expected core length.
RC weights have been collected to monitor recovery but no recovery calculations
for RC drillinghave been calculated.

Core recovery was routinely measured and monitored and RC sample weights were
recorded and monitored in order to calculate sample recoveries. There is no known
relationship between recovery and grade.

Geotechnical logging records core recovery, RQD, fracture counts and fracture sets.
Density measurements are recorded for each core box using standard dry/wet
weight techniques. All drill core is digitally photographed wet, and where possible
dry.

the relevant intersections logged.
All drill holes are logged in full.
Sub-Sampling
techniques
and
sample

If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
Core samples are selected at intervals typically between 0.3-1.2m in length. Core
samples are labelled with a sample tag and aluminium tag recording the hole
number, depth and sample number. Core samples are cut in half using a rock saw,
with half of the sample retained in the core box and half inserted into a plastic
sample bag.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled,
rotary
split,
etc
and
whether sampled wet or dry.
RC samples are riffle split at the drill rig. Samples are typically dry when split.

relation to
geological

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves
unbiased
sampling
of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
Drill holes are generally oriented perpendicular to the strike of geology and shallow
dips of drilling are used to intersect the structures at a high angle.
If the relationship between the
drilling
orientation
and
the
orientation
of
key
mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this

As drill holes were generally drilled perpendicular to the strike of mineralisation it
is not believed that there has been any sampling bias introduced based on the
current understanding of the structural orientations and the dip and strike of
mineralisation.
Sample
Security
The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
Drill samples were collected by Company personnel directly from the drilling rig and
transported to the exploration camp for processing. Prepared samples were then
transported directly to the laboratory by road by representatives of the company.
Other than sub sampling in the form of riffle splitting or core cutting, no sample
preparation was conducted by the company.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
Several audits and reviews of data were completed both as part of and prior to the
publication of the historical MRE and all concluded that historical work conducted
by North Atlantic was completed to a high standard, consistent with industry best
practice at the time. Current practices have been reviewed by the Competent

The
factors
affecting
continuity both of grade
and geology.

The geological interpretation was based on geological information
obtained from MVL and its predecessors RC and diamond drilling
programs. This included lithological, alteration, veining and structural
data.

The mineralised shear hosted mineralisation can be traced on mostly
50m spaced sections over approximately 2.9km in total. The
mineralisation interpretation utilised an approximate 0.3g/t Au edge cut
off for overall shear zone mineralisation.

Additional mineralisation exists peripheral to the main shear zone
hosted mineralisation but is of a less continuous nature and requires
further drilling to determine its overall continuity.

A 3D geological model of the major lithologies, structures and
weathering profile were used to assist in guiding the mineralisation
interpretation

The interpretation was developed by of MVL technical staff and reviewed
and refined by the CP.

No alternate interpretations were considered as the model developed is
thought to represent the best fit of the current geological understanding
of the deposit and is supported by surface mapping.

In the CP's opinion there is sufficient information available from
drilling/mapping to build a reliable geological interpretation that is of
appropriate confidence for the classification of the resource
(Indicated/Inferred).

data to drillhole data,and

Geological and mineralisation constraints were constructed in cross
section in Vulcan. Saprock and laterite interpretation was also generated
via a sectional interpretation. The constraints thus developed were
subsequently used in geostatistics, variography, block model domain
coding and grade interpolation.

Multiple Indicator Kriging was selected as the most appropriate method
for estimating Au, the main element of economic significance. A change
of support was applied to emulate mining selectivity at 5mE by 12.5mN
by 5mRL dimensions.

A block size of 20mE by 25mN by 10mRL was selected as an appropriate
block size for MIK grade estimation given the drill spacing and the likely
potential future selective mining unit (i.e. appropriate for potential open
pit mining).

Drillhole assay intersections were flagged by the mineralisation
wireframes and subsequently composited to 2m downhole lengths to
equalise sample support.

Variography from the main domains indicated a moderate to high nugget
of approximately 40%, with extended ranges of up to 180m (strike),
intermediate range of (dip) to 140m and minor axis of 20m. Elliptical
search neighbourhoods within domains were used orientated parallel to
the orientation of the shear. Search ranges were based on the
variograms and were typically 100m along strike, 100m down dip and
20m across strike. Un-estimated blocks in the first pass were estimated
in a second pass with relaxed search parameters to allow all blocks to be
estimated. Indicator variography was modelled for input to MIK grade
estimates. 17 grade cut offs were chosen per domain and every third
indicator variogram calculated and modelled. Intermediate indicator
variogram parameters were interpolated based on the bounding
modelled variograms.

Wireframed mineralisation domains were used as "hard boundaries" for
estimation. Oxide and transitional mineralisation were estimated
together with the fresh/sulphide mineralisation.

Typically, 24 samples were selected for the MIK estimates. A two-pass
estimation strategy was devised whereby any blocks not estimated in the
first pass were estimated in the second using relaxed estimation
neighbourhood parameters.

High grade cutting is not a necessary process in the context of MIK grade
estimation, however high-grade cutting was undertaken prior to the
experimental variogram calculations. High grade cuts were typically light
(10g/t or 20g/t) and were considered to have a negligible effect on the
overall mean grades. High grade cutting was used in the calculation of
the conditional grade statistics as input to the change of support process.

The block model estimates were validated by visual comparison of whole
block grades (etype) to drill hole composites, comparison of composite
and block model statistics, generating grade shells and visually assessing
them and swath plots of composite versus whole block model grades.

approximately 50m by 50m or better. The remainder was classified as
Inferred.

The relative accuracy of the estimate is reflected in the Resource
Classification of deposit as per the JORC 2012 Code and is deemed
appropriate by the CP.

At this stage the bulk estimate is considered to be a global estimate.

No production data exists for the project as no mining has taken place to
