NHACUTSE HIGH GRADE ZONES EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH

AIRCORE DRILLING

==> picture [461 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Key Highlights

• 16 infill/extension Aircore holes at Nhacutse have expanded the surface footprint of the Nhacutse very high grade mineralisation to a zone of 4 sq km.

• This new drilling confirms Nhacutse as a high potential mine start-up opportunity for MRG, through the potential delivery of an MRE with well in excess of the target 100 Mt at THM grades higher than the foundation Koko Massava JORC Resource.

Mineralisation remains open in all directions, including being open at depth.

• Significant visually estimated (VIS EST) Total Heavy Mineral (THM) drill results include:

• 21CSAC721 0 – 58.5m 58.5m @ VIS EST 5.5% THM Including 28.5 – 43.5m 15.0m @ VIS EST 8.5% THM;

• • 21CSAC724 0 – 46.5m 46.5m @ VIS EST 6.0% THM Including 0 – 39.0m 39.0m @ VIS EST 6.3% THM;

• • 21CSAC725 0 – 57.0m 57.0m @ VIS EST 5.1% THM Including 0 – 25.5m 25.5m @ VIS EST 6.4% THM;

• • 21CSAC727 0 – 54.0m 54.0m @ VIS EST 6.3% THM; • 21CSAC728 0 – 54.0m 54.0m @ VIS EST 6.0% THM Including 0 – 49.5m 49.5m @ VIS EST 6.2% THM;

• • 21CSAC729 0 – 58.5m 58.5m @ VIS EST 6.1% THM Including 36.0 – 54.0m 18.0m @ VIS EST 7.4% THM;

• • 21CSAC734 0 – 49.5m 49.5m @ VIS EST 5.6% THM Including 0 – 30.0m 30.0m @ VIS EST 6.2% THM; and

• • 21CSAC735 0 – 54.0m 54.0m @ VIS EST 5.8% THM; Including 0 – 28.5m 28.5m @ VIS EST 6.2% THM.

• Prior to this program, Nhacutse was interpreted to contain 2 smaller, discrete zones of similar very high grade.

• Leapfrog 3D modelling has been undertaken on the visually estimated data to support upcoming MRE studies.

MRG Metals Limited (“ MRG ” or “ the Company ”) ( ASX Code: MRQ ) is pleased to announce the visually estimated ( VIS EST ) results of its recently completed follow-up extension Aircore drilling program (Figure 2) at the Company’s Nhacutse High to Very High Grade mineralised areas within its Corridor South (6621L) exploration license (Figure 1).

The 16 hole aircore drilling program (Figure 2) targeted open strike areas identified during the most recent infill and extension drilling program (refer ASX Announcement 06 April 2021, assay results still pending) around the 2 high to very high grade zones (Figures 2 and 3).

Excellent VIS EST results were returned from the majority of the holes, with highlights including:

• Holes 21CSAC721 to ‘723 extending the Very High Grade zone to the north-northeast, with the area still open in this direction;

• 21CSAC724 and ‘725 extending the Very High Grade zone to the west (see western area in longitudinal section, Figure 5), with the area still open in this direction;

• 21CSAC730 to ‘736 extending the smaller Very High Grade to the east; and

• 21CSAC726 to ‘729 indicating high grades between these two zones, linking the two and now taking the area of very high grade THM mineralisation to approximately 4 sq km (Figure 3; Table 1).

Mineralisation in all holes is from surface, with significantly thick intersections with VIS EST >6% THM mineralisation in some holes; with hole 21CSAC729 for example demonstrating VIS EST THM of 6.1% over 58.5m from surface to 58.5m (Table 1).

Some very high grade intersections are also present within some holes, for instance 21CSAC721 with VIS EST 8.5% THM over 18.0m from 28.5m – 43.5m. Individual 1.5m intervals also show some very high VIS EST THM grades, up to 12.0% THM (Figure 4).

MRG Metals Chairman, Mr Andrew Van Der Zwan said: “With the very positive VIS EST findings from this drilling program, MRG is confident that this target area represents an excellent opportunity to present the Company’s second MRE and resource report, with it also meeting the Company’s goal of to supply +100 Mt of very high grade resource to the Corridor inventory, at THM grades higher than its existing JORC compliant Koko Massava Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.423 Mt @ 5.2% THM (refer ASX Announcement 22 April 2020).”

Nhacutse Infill Drilling

Previous reconnaissance hand auger (refer ASX Announcement 3 July 2020) and Aircore drilling programs (refer ASX Announcements 24 November 2020, 7 January 2021 and 27 January 2021) identified very high grade THM mineralisation north to northeast of the town of Nhacutse. A recently completed aircore drilling program (refer ASX Announcement 06 April 2021, assay results still pending) further delineated two very high grade mineralised zones, but the drilling also showed that there was strike potential in most directions of the two zones.

A 16 aircore hole program of 829m and 576 X 1.5m individual interval samples (inclusive of QAQC samples) specifically targeted these areas, with excellent VIS EST THM results and outcomes for the drilling (Figure 3, Table 1). The mineralisation was successfully extended and also still remains open in some of the directions, particularly to the north-northeast and west of the very high grade zone (Figures 3 and 5). From the VIS EST results it appears as if the two zones are also connected, with very high VIS EST grades intersected between the two zones, with 21CSAC729 for instance returning VIS EST 6.2% THM from surface to 58.5m. The combined mineralised area now has an approximately 4 sq km area.

Appendix 1

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

• Criteria JORC Code explanation Sampling • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or techniques 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.

• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Commentary

• Aircore drilling was used to obtain samples at 1.5m intervals. • The larger 1.5m interval aircore drill samples were homogenized by rotating the sample bag prior to being grab sampled for panning.

• • A sample of sand, approximately 20g, was scooped from the sample bag of each sample interval for wet panning and visual estimation.

• The same sample mass is used for every pan sample visual estimation.

• The consistent sized pan sample is to ensure visual calibration is maintained for consistency in percentage visual estimation of total heavy mineral (THM).

• Images of pan concentrate samples with associated laboratory THM results are used in the field as comparisons to further refine visual estimation of THM.

• Geologists enter the laboratory THM results for each sample on field log sheets against the visual estimation of THM to refine and further calibrate field visual estimation of THM.

• Geotagged photographs are taken of each panned sample with the corresponding sample bag to enable easy reference at a later date.

• • A sample ledger is kept at the drill rig for recording sample intervals and sample mass, and photographs are taken of samples for each hole to cross-reference with logging.

• The large 1.5m drill samples have an average of about 7kg, range 1-21kg, and are being split down in Mozambique to approximately 300-600g using a three tier riffle splitter for export to the Primary processing laboratory.

• At the laboratory the 300-600g laboratory sample was dried and split to 100g, de-slimed (removal of -45µm fraction) and oversize (+1mm fraction) removed, then subjected to heavy liquid separation using TBE to determine total heavy mineral (THM) content.
