REVIEW OF NICKEL MINERAL RESOURCES AT MT EDWARDS COMPLETE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Neometals completes review of 11 Nickel Mineral Resources across the Mt Edwards Project at Widgiemooltha;

  • Nine Mineral Resources have been re-estimated between November 2019 and June 2021 using new and existing data;

  • Assessment of Cooke and Widgie 3 Mineral Resources deemed that no re-estimation is required; and

  • Global contained nickel tonnes at the Mt Edwards Project now 162,560 tonnes, from 10.220 million tonnes at 1.6% Ni.

Neometals Ltd ( ASX: NMT ) ( “Neometals” or “the Company” ) is pleased to announce completion of a review of all eleven nickel Mineral Resource estimates at its Mt Edwards Nickel Project (“ Mt Edwards ”). The review commenced mid-2019 with the first estimate completed on the Munda deposit in November 2019. Since this time Neometals has been progressively reviewing all available data, including government and third party sourced, to increase its understanding of Mt Edwards.

The increase for the Mt Edwards 26N Mineral Resource announced 30 June 2021 is the last re-estimation considered necessary with the current information ( for further details see Neometals ASX announcement titled “Updated 26 North Resource at Mt Edwards Increases by 51% dated 30 June 2021) . An assessment of the Cooke[1] and Widgie 3[2] Mineral Resources was completed by Richard Maddocks from Auralia Mining Consultants. In Mr Maddock’s assessment, the current estimates do not warrant reinterpretation given the available data.

7 July 2021 – REVIEW OF NICKEL MINERAL RESOURCES AT MT EDWARDS COMPLETE
----- End of picture text -----

Background

Neometals acquired Mt Edwards in the first half of 2018 and immediately began exploring for nickel and lithium. The Company is targeting new nickel discoveries at Mt Edwards while reviewing and enhancing existing nickel Mineral Resources. The Company owns, or holds nickel rights to, 36 mining tenements with a large land holding of more than 300km[2] across the Widgiemooltha Dome, a well-recognised nickel sulphide mining province.

Summary and Mineral Resource Estimation

Mr Richard Maddocks from Auralia Mining Consultants has reviewed both the Widgie 3 and Cooke Mineral Resource block models and reports and has not identified any fatal flaws in the geological interpretation nor in the grade estimation. Mr Maddocks asserts that the reporting of the Mineral Resource for each deposit has been underreported since 2018 due to rounding errors, with Widgie 3 having 626,000 tonnes (up from 625,000 tonnes) of mineralisation at 1.5% nickel, and Cooke 154,000 tonnes (up from 150,000 tonnes) at 1.3% nickel for 2,003 contained nickel tonnes (up from 1,950 nickel tonnes). The Widgie 3 and Cooke Mineral Resource estimate are summarised in Table 2.

Table 2 - Widgie 3 & Cooke Mineral Resource Estimate

Deposit Mineral Resource Category Cut-off Grade Ni % Tonnes Ni % Nickel Tonnes
Widgie 3 Inferred 1.0 626,000 1.5 9,160
Cooke Inferred 1.0 154,000 1.3 2,003

The Mineral Resource estimates are reported in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (JORC Code) and follows a detailed interrogation and review of the available data, including the earlier reported Mineral Resource estimates by the previous holders of the tenement.

The Widgie 3 and Cooke Mineral Resources were previously estimated by Titan Resources in 2005 and Apollo Phoenix in 2016. The 2005 estimates were completed by consultants Hellman and Schofield using ordinary kriging to estimate nickel and arsenic grades. The 2016 estimates were essentially an update using the same parameters as the 2005 estimate. These estimates were accompanied by the required JORC tables and tabulated drilling information to enable it to be quoted as compliant with the 2012 JORC Code, and they were reported on the ASX shortly after Neometals acquired the deposits in April 2018 (refer Note 1 to Table 1 above) and June 2018 (refer Note 2 to Table 1 above).

A summary of information relevant to the Widgie 3 and Cooke Mineral Resource estimate at the Mt Edwards Project is provided in these appendices attached to this announcement:

Appendix 1. Table 1 as per the JORC Code Guidelines (2012)

  • Appendix 2. Drill holes used in the Mt Edwards Widgie 3 and Cooke block model estimates

Appendix 3. Significant and Mineralised Drill Intersections at Widgie 3 and Cooke

Requirements applicable to reports of Mineral Resources for material mining projects

This announcement clarifies the Cooke and Widgie 3 Mineral Resources are in accordance with requirements applicable to reports of Mineral Resources for material mining projects, including location, geology and interpretation, sampling and drilling techniques, sample and assay analysis, classification, estimation methodology, cut-off grades, mining and metallurgical parameters and recommendations.

Location

The Widgie 3 Deposit is located about 75 kilometres south-south-easterly of Coolgardie in the Goldfields region of Western Australia and about 2.6km south-east from the townsite of Widgiemooltha. Access to the Widgie 3 Deposit (“ Widgie 3 ”) from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway is via the Caves Hill Road and then well-established roads used for previous mining and exploration in the area. The Cooke Deposit (“ Cooke ”) is located about 64 kilometres south-south-easterly of Coolgardie in the Goldfields region of Western Australia and about 7km north-west from the townsite of Widgiemooltha. Access to Cooke from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway is via well-established roads used for previous mining and exploration in the area.

Geology and Geological Interpretation

The Widgiemooltha area lies within the southern part of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt. The area is dominated by the Widgiemooltha Dome which is interpreted to be a syn-kinematic granitoid diapir. The granitoid core is flanked by ultramafics and mafic metavolcanics comprising tholeiitic and komatiitic extrusives, interflow sediments and minor high MgO mafic flows. Three phases of ductile deformation have been defined and are characterised by open to tight folding and cleavage development. Late-stage brittle deformation is characterised by north northwest and east west faults.

Widgie 3 deposit geology

Widgie 3 is located on the northeast flank of the Widgiemooltha Dome, within a sequence of intercalated mafic and ultramafic rocks.

At the deposit scale the main ultramafic formation (Widgiemooltha Komatiite) is a maximum of 600m thick, and consists of numerous flows of picritic to peridotitic composition with minor interflow cherty sediments. The sequence generally strikes north-south, faces east and dips to the east at around 70[o] , steepening to 90[o] at depth and to the north. Rhyolitic porphyry dykes with a general north-northwest strike intrudes the sequence and in places stopes out mineralisation. The footwall rocks, west of the ultramafic sequence consists of relatively undeformed amphibolite (Mt Edwards Basalt).

Mineralisation is located along the contact of the amphibolite and ultramafics. The more massive higher grade mineralisation is developed within a serpentinite lens at the base of the ultramafics, in an embayment on the contact (the Widgie 3 embayment). The lens is 110m long, 30m thick and extends to a depth of at least 140m below surface. Matrix and disseminated mineralisation is located immediately above the more massive mineralisation and extends beyond the serpentinite lens at depth. The depth of oxidation ranges from 15 metres at the south end of the deposit to 30 metres below surface at the north end.

Mineralisation consists of contact massive sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, gersdorffite) typically <1m thick, overlain by matrix sulphides and disseminated sulphides. The mineralised envelope can be up to 19 metres thick (decreasing with depth) and 200 metres strike length and is located within or at the base of the serpentinite lens.

The more massive basal mineralised lens is typically less than 2.5m thick; while the more disseminated hanging wall mineralised zones are typically greater than 3m thick depending on the cut-off used to define the mineralised boundary.

Cooke Geology

Nickel sulphide mineralisation developed on and above the ultramafic-amphibolite contact at Cooke is associated with a steep northerly plunging synclinal structure. Both the east and west contact are mineralised and the entire structure dips steeply to the west. The syncline plunges at about 50 degrees to the north and dips steeply to the east. WMC geologists recognised three mineralised surfaces;

  1. Western inner synclinal contact, within which mineralisation is variable, from heavy matrix contact mineralisation in the synclinal keel, to lower tenor disseminated mineralisation in the north.

  2. Eastern inner contact, which consists of high-grade low tonnage mineralised zone that has limited strike and down dip potential.

  3. Southern outer contact, which is typically heavy matrix in character, with minor massive mineralisation.

Sampling

Sampling and sub-sampling techniques and procedures for Anaconda, Metals Exploration and WMC at Widgie 3 are not known. Sampling procedures for INCO and WMC drilling at Cooke are not known .

Titan Resources samples from RC drilling at both Cooke and Widgie 3 were collected via a cyclone and riffle split 75:25. One metre samples were laid out on the ground in rows of 20. Four metre composites or 1 metre splits were submitted to the laboratory at the geologist’s discretion. Four metre composites were sampled using a spear by taking an equal portion from each one metre sample. Zones of interest were sampled at 1 metre intervals. Nickel mineralisation was sampled for 10 metres above and 5 metres below the contact. Samples, typically weighing between 3 and 5kg, were submitted to the laboratory. Four metre composite samples assaying greater than 0.3% nickel or 0.3g/t gold were re-sampled at one metre intervals.

At Widgie 3 diamond core drilled by Titan was sampled according to lithology at the geologist’s discretion. The core was oriented and geotechnical logging was carried out prior to the core being cut. Half core or quarter core samples were submitted for analysis.

For RC drilling at both Cooke and Widgie 3 one metre geological reference samples were collected and stored in chip tray boxes. The location of these chip trays is not known.

At the end of each RC hole at Cooke an Eastman single-shot camera was used to record the dip. This was taken in the drill rod so azimuths were not recorded due to magnetic interference. Selected holes were then surveyed at 10m intervals down hole, by Surtron Technologies, using either a gyro or electronic multi-shot.

Drilling techniques - Widgie 3

The Widgie 3 Mineral Resource has been estimated from 110 drill holes totalling 14,768m. Of these 21 holes for 4,456m were drilled by Anaconda between 1967 and 1974, 3 holes for 245m by Metals Exploration and 78 holes for 8,295m were drilled by Western Mining (WMC) between 1980 and 1999. Finally Titan Resources drilled 8 holes for 1,772m in 2004.

Anaconda drilled 19 Diamond Core holes and 2 percussion holes. Titan drilled 4 RC holes and 4 Diamond Core holes.

==> picture [377 x 265] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6 – Long section of the Widgie 3 Mineral Resource showing drill traces and nickel grade, significant intercepts and EM Plates.

The Titan RC holes at Widgie 3 were drilled by McKay Drilling of Kalgoorlie using a 1996 Hydco 1350 with an 1150/350 onboard compressor, a 1999 Western Air 1150/350 silenced compressor and 1800/900 Hurricane booster. One RC pre-collar was drilled by McKays and the remainder were drilled by Redmond Drilling or Ausdrill using a T685W Schramm with 1000 CFM @ 500PSI on board air along with auxiliary and booster compressors. A single RC pre-collar was drilled by Drillcorp Western Deephole using a late model UDR 1000 heavy duty multi-purpose rig with on board Sullair 900cfm x 350psi compressor. Diamond drilling was carried out by Drillcorp Western Deephole used a late model UDR 1000 heavy duty multi-purpose rig.

The Widgiemooltha database suggests all the WMC holes at Widgie 3 are Diamond Core but the shallow nature of the holes indicates that some, at least, are more likely to be percussion holes.

Samples from all holes have been considered in the Mineral Resource estimation of Widgie 3.

Drilling techniques - Cooke

Three metallurgical test holes were drilled at Cooke for a total of 314.5 metres of HQ3 diamond core. All holes were cored from surface by Drillcorp Western Deephole utilising a UDR 1000 heavy duty multi-purpose rig with a 900cfm x 350psi onboard compressor. Sixty-seven samples (Sample numbers WD2810 to WD2876), obtained from the drilling, were forwarded to AMMTEC Ltd for metallurgical test work.

Figure 7 – Long section of the Cooke Mineral Resource showing drill traces and nickel grade, significant intercepts and EM Plates.

Four geotechnical holes were drilled at Cooke (M15/101), WDGT01 to WDGT04, for a total of 305.4 metres of HQ3 diamond core.

The Cooke Mineral Resource has been estimated from 114 drill holes totalling 14,105m. Of these 37 holes for 3,193m were drilled by INCO in 1970, 63 holes for 9,729m were drilled by Western Mining (WMC) between 1980 and 1999. Finally, Titan Resources drilled 14 holes for 1,193m in 2004.

Titan drilled 7 RC holes, 4 Diamond Core Geotechnical holes and 3 Diamond Core metallurgical holes. The Widgiemooltha database suggests all the INCO and WMC holes at Cooke are Diamond Core but the shallow nature of the holes indicates that some, at least, are more likely to be percussion holes.

Samples from all holes have been considered in the Mineral Resource estimation of Cooke.

Classification Criteria

The Widgie 3 and Cooke Mineral Resource estimates have been classified as Inferred. The historical nature of most of the drilling and the lack of supporting data means that a higher classification cannot be considered.

At Cooke the oxide material has not been classified due to potential metallurgical issues with supergene nickel species. Additional test-work is required in order for nickel oxide material to be considered for Mineral Resource classification.

Sample Analysis

Analysis of INCO and WMC drilling samples at Cooke is not known. Sample analysis for Anaconda, Metals Exploration and WMC at Widgie 3 are not known.

Analysis of Titan Resources samples for Cooke and Widgie 3 was undertaken by ALS Chemex, Perth. The entire sample was prepared by crushing and pulverising to a nominal 90% passing 75 microns. Analytical schemes and detection limits are as follows:

  • ME-ICP61s (formerly IC587) four acid digestion, HF-HNO3-HCLO4 acid digestion, HCL leach and ICP-AES, detection limits in brackets. Cu (1ppm), Co (1ppm), Ni (1ppm), Cr (1ppm), As (5ppm), Mn (5ppm), Al (0.01%), S (100ppm), Mg (0.01%) and Fe (0.01%);

  • Copper and nickel values in excess of 1% (considered to be Ore grade) were re-assayed using ME-OG62 four acid digest as above, elements determined by ICP-AES with lower detection limits of 0.01%;

  • After preparation a split or check sample was taken by ALS from every 20th sample and sent to Ultratrace Analytical Laboratories in Perth. The analytical method and detection limits at Ultratrace are as follows:

  • Four acid digest, detection limits in brackets. Cu (1ppm), Co (1ppm), Ni (1ppm), Cr (5ppm), As (5ppm), Mn (1ppm), Al (0.01%), S (0.01%), Mg (0.01%) and Fe (0.01%); and

  • Select samples from Widgie 3 were submitted at ALS for 50g fire assay with ICP-MS for Au, Pt, Pd (PGM-MS24).

Estimation Methodology

Widgie 3 and Cooke have been estimated using Ordinary Kriging estimation techniques.

Widgie 3 – Estimation Details

For Widgie 3 data was composited to 1m lengths for grade estimation. Analysis of the composite data resulted in a top cut of 7% being applied to nickel grades. This resulted in 9 samples out of 469 being cut to a nickel grade of 7%.

The variogram model details that was applied to the estimate is shown in Table 3. Nickel and arsenic were modelled. Search parameters used for the Widgie 3 estimation are contained in Table 4. A three-pass estimation was used. Block sizes were 5m X, 10mY, 10mZ with sub-blocks of 0.3125mX, 2.5mY, 2.5mZ. The modelled mineralised domains were all hard boundaries for the purpose of estimation.

The Widgie 3 block model was validated using swath plots and visually by section.

Cooke – Estimation Details

Drill data from Cooke was composited to 1.5m lengths as this corresponds to the majority sampling interval of 5 feet (1.52m) in the older INCO and WMC drilling.

The variogram model that was applied is shown in Table 5. Search parameters used for the Cooke estimation are contained in Table 6. A three pass estimation was used. Block sizes were 5m X, 10mY, 10mZ with sub-blocks of 0.3125mX, 2.5mY, 2.5mZ.

Cut-off grades

The Cooke and Widgie 3 Mineral Resource estimates have been reported at a 1% nickel cut-off grade. This cut-off grade is consistent with other nickel producing companies in the Widgiemooltha region. This cut-off grade is appropriate when considering potential open pit and/or underground mining scenarios however the inferred classification precludes such assessments.

Mining or Metallurgical Parameters

No mining or metallurgical parameters or modifying factors have been applied to the Widgie 3 Mineral Resource estimation.

At Cooke metallurgical test-work was conducted by Titan in 2004. The flotation tests were conducted using WMC Resources Ltd - Kambalda Nickel Operations (KNO) standard flotation conditions. KNO process water was used.

The flotation test results indicated that the expected recoveries from processing of the Cooke mineralised material would be of the order of 70 to 80%. Nickel recovery and grade was poor for all of the tests conducted, with Composite 3, at natural pH, giving the best result of 77.2% at 8.98% nickel.

As the metallurgical assessment is preliminary no mining or metallurgical parameters have been applied to the model for the Cooke estimation.

Summary – Widgie 3

Richard Maddocks from Auralia has reviewed the existing model for Widgie 3 and has determined there are no fatal flaws in the geological interpretation or the grade estimation. Drilling data and wireframe mineralised shapes were loaded into Vulcan software for review. The reported tonnes and grade from the 2016 Marshall report were replicated when the model was transferred for review in Vulcan v20.2.

The Inferred Mineral Resource classification is appropriate given the historical nature of the drilling and the lack of supporting data i.e., QAQC, downhole surveys, sampling and assaying methods.

The geological interpretation has accounted for the intrusion of barren post-mineralisation porphyry dykes. In addition, there has been allowance for previous mining activity in both the open pit and underground mines, however the underground survey is of low confidence.

The grade estimation techniques and parameters are appropriate for this style of mineralisation. Ordinary kriging has been used with the application of a 7% nickel top cut.

Summary – Cooke

Richard Maddocks from Auralia has reviewed the existing model for Cooke and has determined there are no fatal flaws in the geological interpretation or the grade estimation. Given the small size of the Mineral Resource, Cooke has been poorly documented.

There is little information on the deposit geology and there appear to be no geology sections or plans available. There is sufficient drilling data and wireframe modelling data to enable a review of the modelled geology. This data was loaded into Vulcan v20.2 for review.

The 2005 Hellman and Schofield Mineral Resource at a 1% Ni cut-off was 196,000t @ 1.28% nickel. In the 2016 update by Apollo Phoenix the competent person, Mr Luke Marshall, reported 154,000t @ 1.34% nickel. This difference is due to Marshall not including several small modelled mineralised shapes that contained less than three drill-holes (Figure 2). Auralia agrees that these shapes are not included in the Mineral Resource due to lack of supporting drilling.

In addition, the oxide portion of the Mineral Resource was not classified due to potential metallurgical issues. Auralia agrees with this approach, and this is consistent with Auralia’s classification of oxide mineralisation in other Widgiemooltha deposits.

The Inferred Mineral Resource classification is appropriate given the historical nature of the drilling and the lack of supporting data i.e., QAQC, downhole surveys, sampling and assaying methods.

The grade estimation techniques and parameters are appropriate for this style of mineralisation. Ordinary kriging has been used with no top cuts applied.

Recommendations - Cooke and Widgie 3

Auralia recommends additional drilling to infill the current drill density at both Cooke and Widgie 3. This should be predominantly diamond core drilling so that a thorough structural interpretation of the deposit can be completed. Controls on high grade nickel mineralisation appear to be complex so closer spaced drilling, along with an increased understanding of the structural history of the deposit should result in increased confidence in the distribution of high-grade nickel mineralisation.

Arsenic is an important element due to its deleterious impact on processing. The drilling described above should also focus on increased understanding on the distribution of arsenic mineralisation.

The additional drill core will enable dry bulk density measurements to be taken throughout the deposits.

It is recommended that drilling in the oxide and transitional zones be carried out for the purpose of mineralogical and metallurgical test-work. Oxide and secondary nickel minerals can impact metallurgical response, so it is important to determine the presence of these minerals.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Widgie 3 deposit is located on the northeast flank of the Widgiemooltha Dome
within a sequence of intercalated mafic and ultramafic rocks.
Nickel mineralisation is located along the contact of basalt and ultramafic rocks. The
more massive higher grade mineralisation is developed within a serpentinite lens at the
base of the ultramafic sequence within an embayment along the contact.
The stratigraphy at a deposit scale consists of the Archaean Mt Edwards basalt overlain
by the Widgiemooltha Komatiite. The ultramafic succession consists of a series of flows
with intercalated sediments. It is approximately 250m thick and displays carbonate
alteration and serpentinisation. The mineral assemblages are talc-antigorite-chlorite-
magnetite and talc-magnesite-amphibolite-magnetite.
Mineralisation at Widgie 3 consists of contact massive sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite,
pentlandite, chalcopyrite and gersdorffite) typically less than 1 metre thick overlain by
matrix sulphides and disseminated sulphides. The mineralised envelope can be up to 19
metres thick (decreasing with depth) and 200 metres strike.
Depth of complete oxidation ranges from 15 to 30 metres.

The stratigraphy at a deposit scale consists of the Archaean Mt Edwards basalt

a series of flows with intercalated sediments. It is approximately 250m thick and
displays carbonate alteration and serpentinisation. The mineral assemblages
are

and
talc-magnesite-amphibolite-
magnetite. Stronger carbonate –chlorite alteration is noted around the
mineralised lenses.
The nickel mineralisation at Cooke occurs on or above the ultramafic/mafic
contact and is associated with a steep northerly plunging synclinal structure. The
syncline plunges at about 50 degrees to the north and dips steeply to the east.

Wireframe boundaries do not appear to be “snapped” to drilling intercepts using the
sample positions. Interpretations were prepared on 30m section spacing cut at bearing
90 degrees on the MGA94 grid zone 51 grid.
The drill spacing is relatively wide and introduces sufficient uncertainty for the short
range variability and continuity in the deposit. The mineralisation is hosted in a high
strain environment which can adversely affect the continuity of the mineralisation and
mine reconciliations back to the Mineral Resource model.
Given the current wide drill spacing, pinching, swelling and truncation of the
mineralisation is possible between the drill holes, as observed in many of the nickel
mining operations in the area.

that ARD should not be a problem, but further evaluation would be required for
