DUE DILIGENCE UPDATE: FURTHER POSITIVE FIELD OUTCOMES – MULLIGAN AND IRON MASK
Meteoric Resources NL (“Meteoric” or the “Company”) has commenced due diligence on the Mulligan and Iron Mask properties, located near the prolific nickel, copper and PGE producing Sudbury Basin in Ontario, Canada.

MULLIGAN PROJECT
==> picture [286 x 190] intentionally omitted <==
A preliminary field visit has confirmed the location of the two claims at Mulligan. Weathered sulphides were identified in accessible outcropping gabbro, the expected host lithology to cobalt and silver mineralisation at the project. Access to the claim is made via old logging roads and hunting trails.

Historical Information
The geological logs for two 1990 developed drill holes, M-2-90 and M-2-91, have been sourced from the Ontario Geological Survey. The holes targeted the contact of Nipissing Diabase with Huronian sediments, and intersected a 119m width of mineralised gabbro starting from 8m depth. The gabbro featured numerous vein structures with chlorite and calcite alteration, and sulphide mineralisation including disseminated chalcopyrite with minor gold values throughout.

Two calcite stringers within the core returned assays of up to 5950ppm (~0.6%) cobalt, otherwise cobalt was not assayed. The holes were designed to test a very-low-frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) anomaly.

MULLIGAN PROJECT continued
A follow up drill program was recommended to further explore the increased mineralisation around the diabase/Huronian contact, but never initiated.
An historical rock chip sample (No. 23730) by the Ontario Department of Mines in 1952 yielded 12.6% Co, 1.03% Ni, 29.76 g/t Au and 39.69 g/t Ag . Sampling by Conwest Exploration in the same year, yielded 19% Co and 56.69 g/t Au.
As previously reported, a commercial bulk sample of eight tonne, grading an average 10% cobalt, was extracted from the area. The location of this sample on the Mulligan claims was identified through historical equipment left at the mining site.

Geological Context
The project reportedly captures 8 parallel cobalt-rich polymetallic vein sets approximately 30 feet apart, spanning a strike length of 500 feet.
The geological and mineralisation setting is reminiscent of the Cobalt Town and Silver Centre polymetallic deposits, where mineralisation occurs within veins associated with the Nipissing diabase/Huronian sediment contact. Cobalt Town, historically, was the most prolific cobalt province in Canada, producing more than 50 million pounds of cobalt.
IRON MASK PROJECT
The Iron Mask claims are accessed through existing, well maintained logging roads. The geological package in the area was observed to include: gabbro, Nipissing diabase, metasediments and ultramafic rocks. Skarn-type cobalt-rich polymetallic mineralisation, including copper, zinc, nickel and gold, has formed along the contact between the Nipissing diabase and the Espanola Limestone Formation of the Huronian Supergroup.

The target limestone formation can be traced northeasterly across the claim area towards the Iron Shaft and Cobalt historical workings, which lie within 500m and 1500m, respectively, immediately northeast of the claims.

IRON MASK continued
During the compilation and assessment of historical Iron Mask data, the Company identified several geophysical and mapping surveys that extend beyond the northwestern and northeastern limits of the claim area. The completed surveys include a 2003 geological mapping and sampling campaign, a 2003 ground magnetic survey, and ground gravity and IP surveys completed in 2004. An older magnetic survey extends northeast from the Mulligan claims and links the claim area to the aforementioned historical workings. This data will be reprocessed using current processing methodologies, to chase the mineralised structure linking the historical workings to the claim area.
Extensions to the structurally controlled mineralisation was previously noted in technical reports by Champion Bear (2003). The extension of the Main, Henri and Cobra zones is illustrated in the image below.
