Webb Diamond Project Update

The Directors of Meteoric Resources NL ( Meteoric or t he Company ) ( ASX:MEI ) are pleased to report on the Lozar radar surveys undertaken at the Webb Diamond Joint Venture by operator and manager GeoCrystal Ltd ( GeoCrystal ).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Ground based Lozar Radar Surveys conducted over two programs were trialed over 15 selected kimberlite magnetic targets that occur within the Webb kimberlite field.

  • In the 1st survey program, the radar data interpreted pipe like bodies occurring over 6 previously drilled magnetic target sites which had confirmed kimberlite.

  • The most significant response from the 1st survey was associated with drilled magnetic target KJ244, which based on the radar and drilling data, is now interpreted as a 2ha kimberlite pipe.

  • The most significant responses from the 2nd survey were associated with undrilled kimberlite magnetic targets KJ52 and KJ62 which are now interpreted as pipe like structures with surface areas of 4ha and 7ha respectively.

  • To date, the JV has identified 51 kimberlites by the drilling of 64 kimberlite magnetic targets from the field of 280 magnetic targets. This represents 23% of the targets tested to date.

During September 2016, ground penetrating radar geophysical surveys were undertaken on selected kimberlite magnetic targets within the project area by Lozar Radar Australia.

These ground based trial surveys were focussed on both drill tested and untested kimberlite magnetic targets within and in close proximity to a broad microdiamond anomaly (Figure 1).

Lozar Radar is a ground scanning radar technology with a depth penetration of up to 200m and with the capability of mapping geological features such as faults and lithology boundaries. This work was aimed at testing the effectiveness of this relatively new geophysical technique in remodelling the size, shape and depth extent of the Webb kimberlite magnetic targets.

The field program was in 2 parts with ground radar surveys completed on 15 kimberlite magnetic targets. At least 2 survey lines were completed over each target.

First Radar Survey

The first radar survey was a trial to validate the radar technique against known kimberlite bodies at Webb that were previously drilled. A total of 6 drilled magnetic targets which had identified kimberlite were surveyed for a total 6.17 line km. Profile survey sections for the drilled targets KI244, KJ191 and KJ199 and are shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 & 5.

Based on the interpreted radar image, drilled magnetic target KJ244 presents a stark contrast between the kimberlite body and the host sediments and indicates a pipe-like body approximately 2ha in area. Also based on the radar images, both drilled magnetic targets KJ191 and KJ199 are interpreted as small pipes with diameters of approximately 100m. In all cases the overlying sediments are also clearly identified.

Second Radar Survey

The second radar survey was to use the radar technique against undrilled kimberlite magnetic targets at Webb which resulted in 9 targets being surveyed for 5.56 line km. These surveyed targets are all contained within the broad microdiamond anomaly situated in the northern portion of the kimberlite field where a total of 42 undrilled kimberlite targets remain untested.

Profile radar survey sections for the undrilled magnetic targets KJ52 and KJ62 are shown below. Both these targets have been interpreted as kimberlite pipe bodies based on similarities in the signatures with the kimberlite bodies tested in the first survey. Targets KJ52 and KJ62 are now interpreted to have surface areas of 4ha and 7ha respectively.

Discussion

The Lozar radar technique has the capability to clearly identify larger near surface potential kimberlite bodies in conjunction with the magnetics and hence is a valuable technique for targeting drill holes and defining the geometry of a pipe.

Lozar radar combined with detailed ground magnetic surveys will be used to prioritize targets for drill testing. The focus will be on the interpreted larger near surface bodies associated with the large microdiamond anomaly in the northern portion of the Webb kimberlite field. Selected kimberlite targets in other parts of the kimberlite field, based on the size and intensity of their magnetic signatures, will also be targeted.

It is anticipated that this work will be undertaken in the 2017 field season.

About Diamonds and Kimberlite

Diamonds occur naturally at depths greater than 150 kilometres beneath the earth’s crust and are carried to the surface of the earth by volcanic activity. As this molten mixture of magma (molten rock), minerals, rock fragments and diamonds approaches the earth’s surface it begins to form a pipe-like structure shaped like a champagne flute. These pipes of igneous rocks are called kimberlites or kimberlite pipes and are composed of certain minerals called kimberlite indicator minerals, upper mantle rock fragments and other trace minerals. Shallow lakes may form in the resulting inactive volcanic crater associated with an underlying kimberlite pipe. Kimberlite pipes are the most significant source of diamonds yet only 1 in about every 200 kimberlite pipes contains gem quality diamonds. Some kimberlite pipes contain very few diamonds or no diamonds and these are referred to as non-diamondiferous or sterile.

About the Diamond Market

According to a report commissioned by the Antwerp World Diamond Centre published in 2012, the demand for diamonds is forecast to double by 2020, far outpacing supply, because of a lack of new mines. Industry commentators consider that the consumer appetite for diamonds is set to grow annually with the growth in demand over the next decade driven by increasing prosperity in China and India. This anticipated increase in world demand for diamonds is likely to outpace the growth in diamond production due to the impact of relatively flat growth in diamond supply towards the end of the decade, as no major new diamond deposits have been discovered since 1997. The expected consequence of this imbalance between supply and demand is that diamond prices are likely to continue to rise. The average price for global rough diamond in 2011 was US$121.60 per carat.

Typically, gem and near-gem diamonds are used in jewellery whereas industrial diamonds are used principally for cutting and grinding purposes. Gem-quality diamonds account for over 80% of the value of the world diamond market. Antwerp is the largest diamond trading centre with other key centres including Mumbai, Johannesburg and Tel Aviv. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the world’s annual production of rough diamonds is under the control of the De Beers Group and other major diamond producers including Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Alrosa Group.

Sampling techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

N/A
Drilling techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,

reported if material.

Geophysical survey lines were completed in N-S and E-W directions and
centered on the kimberlite magnetic target. This is considered appropriate due
to the typical pipe like geometry of kimberlite pipes.

Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The exploration project area is located in the Lake McKay region of the Gibson Desert
which is within the southern portion of the Webb 1:250,000 geological map.

The stratigraphy of the project area is not well constrained due to paucity of data (drill
hole and outcrop) but is thought to comprise recent fluvial, alluvial and aeolian deposits
and a poorly developed surficial soil. These sediments are composed of sand, silt and
clay. Areas to the east, west and south of the project tenements are mapped as being
underlain by up to 1000m of the Proterozoic aged Heavitree Quartzite which in turn is
overlain by limestone and dolomite of the Bitter Springs Formation and then by post
Permian aged fluvial and deltaic sandstones, siltstones and mudstones known as the
Angas Beds. These sequences are interpreted to overlay Archean aged basement rocks
of the Arunta Complex

The kimberlite pipes intrude the Proterozoic aged sediments and are overlain by the
Angas Beds. The kimberlite bodies are discrete volcanic intrusions which occur within a
cluster over an area of some 1000km2.

Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material

Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

A list of the drill holes completed in the 2013 and 2014 exploration programs along with
associated data has been reported previously.
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and
should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

N/A
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

N/A
Diagrams

Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included
for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Refer to the text.
Balanced reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited
to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

A regional 400m line spaced aeromagnetic survey flown by the Geological Survey of WA
is available in the public domain. It was this data that highlighted the presence of 'bulls-
eye' magnetic anomalies which were interpreted to be intrusive bodies, possibly
kimberlites.

A detailed 150m line spaced aeromagnetic survey over a 65km2area was flown for
Meteoric Resources in 2010. The data was interpreted by Southern Geoscience
Consultants. This smaller survey provided more detailed magnetic data and allowed
modelling of many of the 'bulls-eye' magnetic targets.

A follow-up 100m spaced aeromagnetic survey of 11,800 line- km was flown for

more than 280 kimberlite targets.

Loza Radar Australia ("LRA") visited the Webb Diamond Project to carry out ground
penetrating radar ("GPR") trials designed to apply new radar technology to assist in
assessing the geophysical nature of the cluster of more than 280 circular features

Loza Radar has processed the data using their own software (Krot), to apply filters that
best pick out the features of interest.

The Loza Radar system is a 4th generation enhanced Ground Penetrating Radar. Loza
Radar uses GPRplus, a ground scanning device designed for studying subsurface
structure at depths from a few metres to hundreds of metres. Data collection is based on
radiation of ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses penetrating into the subsurface
medium and registration of the reflected signals born at the medium interfaces or buried
objects. Reflections are the primary result of a change in density and/or a change in
electromagnetic permeability.

The transmitter uses a high-pressure hydrogen discharge, which operates in stand-
alone mode without synchronization. Traditional ground penetration radar's mechanics
have been completely revised: pulse transmitter power has been increased by a
minimum of 100,000 times, and the stroboscopic transformation replaced to direct
detection of signal. The antennas use RC-Loaded dipoles. This ensures the exclusion of
interference in the received signal that suppresses weak signals, whilst also permitting
the reception of strong signals and avoids the requirement for connecting lines (which
also introduce strong interference from the transmitter). Only the Low Frequency
Systems were applied at the Webb Project where the 6 metre antenna was used with
the low frequency.

The horizontal resolution, i.e. the spacing of the 'radar-shots' taken along a profile is
chosen according to the required scale of the target objects and in discussion with the
client. In this case, the shot spacing was 1.0m with varied lengths of survey lines due to
the uncertainty of the dimensions of the targets on the first passes. The system
identifies structures at all angles, including the vertical structure as well as voids ,
changes in rock density caused by fracturing, geological changes or water. This system
shows any structure as the signal array returns from both the vertical and horizontal
structures. Additionally, the Radar operator can either manually operate the 'firing
switch' or it can be set to automatic. The 'shot' spacing is determined by the client's
objective;and also bythe speed of the traverse.
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary

At each measurement point, the arrival time of the signal is recorded from the geological
boundaries or structure/feature of interest. The profile 'Radargram' is formed in real time
on the operator's console LCD screen in the form of a binary plot depicting radar return
time of the subsurface reflections. Travel time of the EM wave depends on the reflector
depth and propagation velocity, this varies along the profile giving a picture of
subsurface layered structures. Results of the survey are stored in the console memory
which can be instantly downloaded into a normal laptop computer for immediate review
of data quality and points of interest whilst still in the field. This real-time capability
means that the operator can mark features of interest as the profile is taken. The
downloaded data is analysed on the laptop using proprietary software.

The profile lines are georeferenced and displayed as Radargrams with filters applied in
the Loza Radar software(Krot).
Further work

The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Drill testing of untested magnetic anomalies largely associated with the microdiamond
anomaly in the northern part of the kimberlite field is planned for the 2017 field season.
This drill program will be aimed at confirming the presence of kimberlite and providing
material to test for thepresence of diamonds.
