• Additional infill drilling program scheduled for second half of 2019
Mineral Commodities Ltd (ASX: MRC) (“MRC” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce excellent drilling results from its recent expansion drilling program at its Munglinup Graphite Project.
The results confirm continuity of mineralisation along strike of Halberts South and Whites / McCarthy West zones in both quantum and grade. Whites is a newly discovered ore zone

which to date continues to deliver high grade mineralisation results. The additional geological and assay information will be included in a geological resource model update currently underway. The results will also be used to optimise the proposed mining plan as part of the Company’s Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) and will result in a new pit design which the Company anticipates will improve project economics and the life of mine. Subsequently, the DFS is now scheduled to be delivered by the end of May 2019.

Deeper exploratory holes were also completed below the mineralisation at Halberts Main and Halberts South to test down dip mineralisation into fresh host horizons. Significant intercepts include:
-
8.6m at 14.2% TGC from 344.6m downhole
-
including 0.9m at 22.7% TGC from 346.1m downhole (HAS_EX001)
-
9.85m at 17.6% TGC from 275m downhole

The Company also intends to schedule additional drilling to further test the extensions of high grade mineralisation along strike at Whites and Halberts South. The timing of this program will be incorporated into the project development schedule.
Executive Chairman Mark Caruso said, “ These high-grade drilling results further confirm MRC’s belief that the mineralisation at Munglinup is world class and that the Mineral Resource and subsequent Ore Reserve will continue to grow. The results will be incorporated into an updated Resource Model, pit design and mine schedule for inclusion in the DFS to fully capture the value of these results in the project economics. These results continue to support the plan that Munglinup will be a low-cost operation and produce high quality graphite concentrate beyond the initial PFS mine life. With the recent acquisition of the operating Skaland mine and the nearterm development of Munglinup the Company has now positioned itself with Tier 1 assets in Tier 1 jurisdictions.”

| Sampling | • | The drill results are from Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond drilling carried out |

| • | One metre samples were collected from the drill cyclone and cone splitter into calico | |
| bags and the reject into plastic bags. | ||
| • | Diamond core (HQ3 size – 61.1mm diameter) was cut in half using an Almonte | |

| Drilling | • | The RC drill rig used a 5 inch diameter reverse circulation hammer. |
| techniques | • | Diamond drilling was completed using a HQ3 triple tube barrel configuration. |
| • | All holes but one were drilled at a 60° dip. One hole was drilled with a 50° dip. | |
| • | Azimuths were measured for each hole at the completion of drilling. Deeper RC | |
| holes (+100m) azimuth was recorded approximately half way down the hole in | ||
| addition. The diamond drilling had single shot surveys completed every 50m | ||
| downhole. | ||
| Drill sample | • | Recovery was approximated during drilling based on volume of drill spoil for the RC |
| recovery | drilling. Diamond drilling core loss and recovery has been recorded. | |
| Logging | • | A comprehensive logging system was used and included alteration (type, style and |
| intensity), grain size, rock type / lithology, colour, minerals, textures, fabric, parent | ||
| rock (where fresh) and, graphite class and grade. | ||
| • | Each drill samples were sieved washed and inspected in the field and a | |

5% of samples sent to the lab consist of QAQC samples (duplicates, blanks and standards). Blank and CRM was purchased off Geostats Pty Ltd, the CRM is specific for high grade Graphite mineralization. |
| Quality of | • | All samples were pulverize to 75 microns. |

| Geology | • | The Munglinup area comprises Archean to Paleoproterozoic, metamorphosed |
| granitic and other metamorphic rocks of the Albany–Fraser Orogen, typically | ||
| hornblende (± garnet) gneiss and migmatite. | ||
| • | Within the gneissic rock mass, rocks containing the Munglinup graphite | |
| deposits consist of a succession of tightly folded metasedimentary rocks with a | ||
| consistent dip to the southeast. | ||
| • | The classification scheme most widely accepted for graphite deposits was | |
| introduced by Cameron (1960). It classifies known graphite deposits into five | ||
| categories reflecting the different types of graphite. | ||
| • | Using this classification scheme, it is most likely that the Munglinup deposit | |
| can be characterized as a type 1, disseminated flake graphite in silica-rich | ||
| meta-sediments deposit. | ||

| Data aggregation | • | The samples have been aggregated using a length weighted average method. |
| methods | • | Assay intervals of greater than 5% TGC were identified and where more than 2 |
| continuous metres at greater than 5% TGC, with at least 1 metre greater than | ||
| 10% TGC were recorded, the interval has been reported in Table 1 of this | ||
| release. | ||
| • | Intervals were reported as continuous including where 1 metre intervals of less | |
| than 5% TGC were included. Where intervals of 2 metres or more of less than | ||
| 5% TGC were encountered, separate intervals have been reported. | ||
| • | Intervals reported as “including” are intervals included in the preceding | |
| reported intervals were assays are greater than 20% TGC and using the same | ||
| sample aggregation methods as the greater than 5% TGC reported intervals, |

| although minimum reporting width for these was decreased to 1 metre. | ||
| • | Where intervals do not meet required conditions due to thickness, but assay | |
| results were greater than 20% TGC, results have been reported. | ||
| Relationship | • | Inclined drilling was done to intersect the different graphite zones as close to |
| between | true width as possible. The average dip angle was -60°. | |
| mineralisation | • | Intercepts are reported as downhole intervals, not mineralisation widths. |
| widths and | ||
| intercept lengths | ||
| Diagrams | • | Drill hole collar location plans are included in this release. |
| Balanced | • | As discussed in the data aggregation methods used, all intervals of greater |
| reporting | than 5% TGC and more than 2m have been reported. | |
| • | Intervals where mineralisation was assayed as less than 5% TGC have not been | |
| reported. | ||
| Other substantive | • | The drilling methodology employed for the majority of this program was |
| exploration data | Reverse Circulation and limited additional data is collectable from such drilling | |
| methods. | ||
| Further work | • | Upon completion of a Feasibility study on the Munglinup project further |
| drilling will be planned to upgrade and extend known resources. |
