MCEWEN RESOURCES AT MT EDWARDS INCREASE 45% TO 41.5Kt CONTAINED NICKEL
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Re‐interpreted and Re‐estimated McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources – now 3.049 million tonnes at a grade of 1.4% nickel for 41,500 contained nickel tonnes, a 45% increase in contained nickel;
-
Global Mineral Resource at the Mt Edwards Project now 9.64 million tonnes at 1.7% nickel for 160,000 contained nickel tonnes; and
-
Revised Zabel Mineral Resource now 325,000 tonnes at 2.0% nickel for 6,360 tonnes of contained nickel, a reduction in contained nickel of 7%.
Neometals Ltd ( ASX: NMT ) ( “Neometals” or “the Company” ) is pleased to announce updated Mineral Resource estimates for the McEwen ( “McEwen” ) and McEwen Hangingwall ( “McEwen HW” ) deposits. Both the McEwen and McEwen HW deposits are significant sized disseminated nickel sulphide deposits. They are two of eleven Mineral Resources at Neometals’ Mt Edwards Project located in a province of historic nickel sulphide mines surrounding the township of Widgiemooltha. The reinterpreted Mineral Resource estimates for McEwen and McEwen HW have increased the tonnes and grade of both deposits, with a combined total of contained nickel now at 41,450 tonnes up from 28,220 tonnes.

Small discrepancies may occur due to rounding
In researching historical data for McEwen and McEwen HW further information on the Zabel Mineral Resource, last estimated in December 2020, was discovered. The data related to the interpretation of oxide and transitional zones at Zabel, and the revised estimate now only includes nickel sulphide in fresh rock. This information has been used to update the Zabel Mineral Resource, with the revised estimate now 325,000 tonnes at 2.0% nickel for 6,360 tonnes of contained nickel. All other information related to the Zabel Mineral Resource estimate remain the same as that announced on 23 December 2020 (for further details see Neometals announcement titled “Mt Edwards Nickel ‐ Zabel Mineral Resource Update” dated 23rd December 2020).

The re‐estimation of the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources is a continuation of a major review of the Mt Edwards project that has been undertaken by Neometals since mid‐2019. The McEwen, McEwen Hangingwall and Zabel Mineral Resources were estimated by Richard Maddocks from Auralia Mining Consultants and reviewed by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants.
A future work program is planned for McEwen and McEwen HW that will include reverse circulation drilling (“ RC ”) and diamond core drilling ( “DD” ) to further assess the extents of mineralisation and improve the understanding of the metallurgical characteristics to pave the way for mining studies.
Background
Neometals acquired the Mt Edwards project in the first half of 2018 and immediately began exploring for nickel and lithium. The Company is targeting new 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.
Updating of the Mineral Resource estimate at the McEwen and McEwen HW deposits has expanded the global Mt Edwards Project Mineral Resources to 9.64 million tonnes at 1.7% nickel for 160,000 tonnes of contained nickel across 11 deposits.

Mineral Resource Estimation
The McEwen, McEwen Hangingwall and Zabel Mineral Resources were estimated by Richard Maddocks from Auralia Mining Consultants. The Mineral Resource estimates for the McEwen Deposit of 1,133,000 tonnes at 1.4% nickel for 15,300 nickel tonnes, the McEwen Hangingwall Deposit of 1,916,000 tonnes at 1.4% nickel for 26,100 nickel tonnes, and for the Zabel Deposit of 325,000 tonnes at 2.0% nickel for 6,360 nickel tonnes 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.
A summary of information relevant to the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resource estimates at the Mt Edwards Project is provided in these appendices attached to this announcement:

Location
The McEwen and McEwen HW nickel deposits are located on mining lease M15/653, approximately 11km north‐east of the Widgiemooltha Roadhouse (50km from Kambalda). Access from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway is via well‐established roads used for previous mining and exploration in the area. There has been no mining in the immediate vicinity of the McEwen and McEwen HW Mineral Resources, and geological knowledge has been sought by drill sample logging and surface mapping combined with interpretations of surface and down‐hole geophysical surveys. The McEwen and McEwen HW Mineral Resources are located 350 metres south of the Zabel Mineral Resource, with these three deposits located at the northern end of a line of eleven nickel deposits at the Mt Edwards Project.

Geology and Geological Interpretation
Nickel sulphide mineralisation in the region is predominantly associated with the basal contact of the komatiitic ultramafic with the underlying Mt Edwards Basalt. The mineralisation is found within embayments in the komatiite‐ basalt contact interpreted to be thermal erosion channels caused by the flow of hot ultramafic lava. Secondary and tertiary flows of nickel enriched lava flows occur in places, leading to stacking of komatiite ultramafic sequences, such as that seen at McEwen Hangingwall. Sheet flow facies zones flanking and gradational to channel facies are thinner, texturally and chemically well‐ differentiated and less magnesian than channel flow facies.
The McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall deposits are two discrete Mineral Resources approximately 250 metres apart and they are closely associated with the Zabel deposit 350 metres to the north. Figure 3 shows the relative location and geology surrounding these deposits, with Zabel to the north in red, McEwen Hangingwall in green central, and McEwen in yellow at the southern end.
The McEwen deposit (the southern of the three discussed) consists of two parts; the McEwen West and McEwen East. Each part has a zones of nickel mineralisation on and near the UM basal contact, on opposing limbs of the Mt Edwards Anticline, with thin nickel mineralisation

continuing over the hinge of the fold. Figure 4 shows a cross section of the McEwen mineralisation domains over the anticline.
The east part of McEwen is one of a few areas of identified mineralisation on the eastern side of the Mt Edwards anticline at the Mt Edwards Project, with the Cooke deposit five kilometres south‐south‐east the nearest eastern limb deposit. Mineralisation at McEwen East consists of a thick > 0.2% nickel zone, usually directly on the mafic contact, with locally up to three internal >1% nickel zones. Rare, thin, basal contact massive sulphides occur.
The west part of McEwen contains both disseminated hanging wall mineralisation and basal contact matrix to massive mineralisation. The southern portion of this western limb at McEwen is dominated by serpentinite which grades into talc carbonate assemblages to the north.

The McEwen Hangingwall deposit is 250 metres to the north of the western part of McEwen. While most of the mineralisation for Zabel and McEwen is on or near the ultramafic‐basalt contact, at McEwen Hangingwall the disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation is higher in the ultramafic sequence contained within the western, hanging wall limb of the anticline.
At McEwen Hangingwall, mineralisation is typically contained within a 30‐metre thick zone with disseminated nickel greater than 0.2% located some 20m to 80m above the basal contact. A few massive sulphide zones are present at the base of this zone, however the majority of the mineralisation is disseminated. There is little nickel enrichment at the basal mafic contact at McEwen Hangingwall other than at the far southern and northern zones.

Nickel Mineralisation
The mineralisation styles range from weakly disseminated to matrix and occasional massive sulphide mineralisation. Most of the mineralisation is disseminated.
Generally, the disseminated sulphide runs between 0.6 and 2% nickel with the matrix style mineralisation grading up to 3% nickel.
Modelling
The mineralisation of McEwen and McEwen HW conforms to a Kambalda style komatiite flow hosted deposit, with post depositional structural modification. Geology logs were used to construct a basal surface to the ultramafic unit.
Figure 10 – A long section of McEwen Hangingwall deposit with significant drill intercepts.
Mineralised domains were modelled based on elevated nickel grades, and proximity to the basal surface at the mafic/ultramafic contact. The basal surface was particularly useful at McEwen with the mineralisation following the contact over the fold hinge. For both McEwen and McEwen HW there was no strict protocol in assigning a nickel cut‐off grade to model the shape rather it was based on the interpreted location of elevated nickel within the stratigraphic sequence.

A total of six domains have been modelled; two for McEwen Hangingwall and four for McEwen, as shown in Figure 12. A top of fresh rock and bottom of complete oxidation surfaces were modelled from the logging codes in drill holes.
Mineral Resource Classification
Parts of the McEwen deposit are relatively well drilled providing good continuity of geology and grade. However, the McEwen Hangingwall deposit is based on reasonably wide drilling at 60m collar spacings. In addition, McEwen Hangingwall is made up entirely of historic drilling, the most recent of which was drilled in 1990, with the majority carried out between 1968 and 1971. The comparison between older drilling campaigns and newer ones from QAQC sampling across other deposits at the Mt Edwards Project provides some confidence in the veracity of the older drilling campaigns’ sampling and assaying. However, the wide spaced drilling combined with a lack of supporting data for important elements such as arsenic, Fe₂O₃ and MgO plus the few bulk density measurements means that all of the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall deposits are classified as Inferred.
==> picture [379 x 468] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 12 – The six mineralisation domains, four at McEwen and two at McEwen Hangingwall.
Additional infill drilling to reduce the data spacing and provide additional assay data for other elements, and independent bulk density analysis would increase the confidence in the geological interpretation and grade continuity. This could result in a Mineral Resource classification reflecting increased confidence.
Drilling Techniques and Details
The drill database used in the Mineral Resource estimate is comprised of samples from diamond core drilling and RC drilling across several exploration campaigns from 1968 to 2005. INCO carried out drilling on the prospect in 1968‐1971, while WMC conducted drilling campaigns between 1980 and 1991.
The majority of drilling was carried out by INCO in the period 1968‐1971. No details on the drilling and sampling techniques used by INCO and WMC have been found. Titan Resources undertook a significant amount of RC drilling between 2003 and 2005, and 17 diamond holes were drilled at McEwen from which much of the diamond core has been used for high quality logging, and 11 were used for density analysis.

In total from 69,327.83 metres of Diamond Core, Air Core and RC drilling across 482 drill holes are within the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall area located within the Neometals held mining lease M15/653.
Table 4 shows the history of drilling and sampling in the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall area.

While all information is used in the local geological interpretation, not all of these holes are mineralised nor were they used in the Mineral Resource Estimate for McEwen or McEwen Hangingwall. Air‐core holes were not used in the estimation.
QAQC
Most of the QAQC results for the estimates were sourced from the Titan Resources annual exploration report for 2003‐2004. The report indicated that no significant or material discrepancies were identified by the QAQC sampling and analysis for field duplicates in the drilling and sampling, which is shown in the assay files. No standards or blanks were reported by Titan Resources. It is not known what, if any, QAQC procedures were carried out by operators INCO and WMC before 1999. Analysis of the recent compared to historical data shows reasonable correlation between all drilling companies and types, which provides confidence in the use of the historic data.
Based on these conclusions the competent person, Mr Maddocks, considers the historic and recent drill and sample data at McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall to be valid for use in the Mineral Resource estimation.

Bulk Density
There are 42 density measurements within the McEwen mineralised domains taken from core drilled by Titan Resources. These were taken from 11 different drill holes on both the east and west limb of the fold. Measurements were made by the water immersion method. Figure 15 shows the location of these holes. There are no measurements within the McEwen Hangingwall domains, nor are there any in McEwen domain 3 which is predominately in the oxide zone.
A scatter plot and regression formula is illustrated below with the formula used to estimate density into the modelled domains.

Figure 14 – McEwen density and nickel grade scatter plot. 42 measurements of diamond core from 11 hole. This density calculation is reliant on nickel grade only and ignores contributions from other elements (e.g. copper and iron). It has been applied only to blocks within the modelled mineralised domains. Outside these domains the fresh mafic is modelled with a density of 2.7 and the fresh ultramafic 2.9 based on reasonable assumptions for these rock types.
Weathering boundaries representing top of fresh rock (tofr) and bottom of complete oxidation (boco) were modelled based on logging of Titan Resources drillholes. Transitional material between tofr and boco was assigned a bulk density of 2.2 and oxide material above boco was assigned a density of 1.8. These are based on reasonable assumptions for these rock types.

Variography
Variography was carried out for nickel on the four largest domains, being McEwen HW1, McEwen 1, McEwen 3 & McEwen 4. Data was confined to the mineralised zones that contain the nickel mineralisation. The variograms generally are aligned along strike but with slightly varying dips and plunges. Table 5 tabulates the models applied. The variogram model for McEwen HW1 was applied to the smaller McEwen HW2 domain and the variogram model for McEwen 1 was applied to McEwen 2. A spherical, two structure model was applied to each element. Negative dips indicate a westerly dip while positive dips are easterly.

Grade Estimation
Nickel was estimated in 2 passes using ordinary kriging. The first pass search extents used the range indicated in variogram models, the second pass used an increase of 300% ensuring all blocks were informed with nickel grades. The first pass required a minimum of 10 samples from 4 drillholes, and the second pass required 5 samples from 2 drillholes. Nickel grades were also estimated with inverse distance squared (id2), using the ni_ok pass 2 parameters in a single pass. Estimation details are summarised in Table 6.

Top Cuts
Top cuts have been applied to nickel based on cumulative log frequency graphs and co‐efficients of variation (CV). Figure 16 shows the cumulative log normal distribution graph of all nickel composites within all six domains across the two deposits. Three distinct populations are apparent, one between 0.3% and 0.7% representing lower grade disseminated nickel mineralisation, the next one between 0.7% and 3% nickel represents the main mineralised horizon, a smaller population between 3% and 6% nickel which may represent data from massive sulphides.

Figure 16 ‐ Cumulative Log Frequency graph for nickel in all domains across the two deposits.
Table 8 shows the impact of the application of top cuts for nickel to the domains. The domains display relatively low uncut co‐ efficients of variation with only 5 composites above 6% being cut, with 3 from McEwen Hangingwall and 2 from domain 1 at McEwen. The highest uncut composite is 8.32% so grade cutting to 6% has a minimal impact.

Model Validation
Table 9 compares the block model grades with the mean composite grades. The mean composite grade is the mean of all the drill composites within the domain with top cuts applied and the block grade is the average block model grade within the domain with a 0% nickel cut‐off grade applied. The variation between composites and block grades is generally within acceptable limits and does not display any significant bias.

In addition to ordinary kriging, nickel was estimated using inverse distance squared (id2). A comparison between these two estimation methods for all six domains reported at a cut‐off of 1% Ni is shown in Table 10. The results are within expectations given that the ordinary kriging estimate used a two‐pass estimation with more restrictive search parameters, shown in Table 6.

The swath plot analysis in the Figure 17 includes all the McEwen and McEwen HW domains. It indicates that the model does represent the underlying composite data except for where there is limited composite data. The model grade is represented by the brown line and the composite data by the blue line.
Audits or reviews
The McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources models, the drill database and other supporting information was supplied to Snowden Mining Industry Consultants for review. Snowden did not identify any fatal flaws and replicated the nickel tonnage and grade reported by Auralia to within acceptable limits. There was a significant level of communication between Auralia, Snowden and Neometals in the conduct of the review. Snowden made several observations and recommendations, which were incorporated into the final Mineral Resource estimates.

Previous Mineral Resource Estimates
Further validation includes comparison with previous Mineral Resource models estimated for McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall. The last significant estimation of the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources was carried out by Hellman & Schofield Pty Ltd in September 2005 for Titan Resources. In 2006 Consolidated Nickel re‐estimated the Mineral Resource using an updated density formula.
A review of the 2006 Mineral Resources was completed by Apollo Phoenix in 2016 however this did not change any of the parameters or wireframe interpretations of the estimates, and the tonnes and grade remain similar to the 2006 Consolidated Minerals estimate.
There is a moderate increase in the Mineral Resource contained nickel tonnes for the Neometals revised estimation of McEwen (Table 11), and a significant difference between the 2006 and 2020 estimations for McEwen HW (Table 12).
Each of the three estimates for McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall have comparable levels of drill and sample data.
Table 11– Comparison with previous McEwen Mineral Resource Estimations, values may be rounded
| Company | Year | Tonnes | Nigrade % | Contained nickel tonnes | Cut‐offgrade % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titan Resources | 2003 | 2,148,000 | 0.87 | 18,690 | 0.5 | |
| Consolidated Nickel | 2006 | 1,068,000 | 1.28 | 13,670 | 1.0 | |
| Neometals | 2021 | 1,367,000 | 1.29 | 17,680 | 1.0 |
Table 12– Comparison with previous McEwen Mineral Resource Estimations, values may be rounded
| Company | Year | Tonnes | Nigrade % | Contained nickel tonnes | Cut‐offgrade % Ni |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titan Resources | 2003 | 5,115,000 | 0.85 | 43,480 | 0.5 |
| Consolidated Nickel | 2006 | 1,058,000 | 1.40 | 14,800 | 1.0 |
| Neometals | 2021 | 2,052,000 | 1.34 | 27,410 | 1.0 |
The geological interpretation and resultant solid modelled mineralised shapes for McEwen Hangingwall correspond very closely between the 2006 and 2020 estimations. The difference in the tonnes and grade is due to different grade estimation methods. The 2006 model uses 1.5m composites compared to 1m composites for the 2020 model, and in 2006 a top cut of 3.5% nickel was applied compared to 6% nickel in 2020.
In addition, the search extents were less, resulting in areas of the mineralised solid shape with no estimated grades. Figure 18 compares the two composite sets showing that they are essentially the same; they are based on the same drilling database with the only difference being the composite length as discussed above.

Mining and Metallurgical Considerations
Mining and metallurgical factors or assumptions were not explicitly used in estimating the Mineral Resource. It is assumed that underground mining methods would be used for any future mining operations, with the development of a portal using a box cut for an entry point to the decline.
A nickel cut‐off grade of 1.0% is considered the most appropriate for the Mineral Resource estimate. The 1% nickel cut‐off grade is considered to approximate economic mining cut‐off grades for an underground mining scenario comparable to recently published updated underground nickel Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources in the area.
In addition to nickel the distribution of elements such as arsenic, iron, copper, cobalt, sulphur and magnesium requires further delineation. A more detailed interpretation of new data will be required for the planning of any future economic extraction.
Site Visit
Mr Maddocks visited the project on 17 March 2020. The site visit included viewing and validating the location of historic RC and diamond core drill collars.
Future Work
Future work at McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall may include additional infill RC and diamond core drilling and sampling so that a thorough structural and geometallurgical interpretation of the deposit can be incorporated into an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate. Diamond core drilling and sampling will improve the understanding of the structural orientation, geotechnical attributes, mineralogy, and metallurgical characteristics to pave the way for advanced mining studies.
Controls on economic nickel mineralisation appear to be complex. Closer spaced drilling, along with an increased understanding of the structural history of the deposit, should increase confidence in the distribution of high grade nickel mineralisation. Arsenic is an important element in nickel sulphide deposits due to its deleterious impact on processing. The drilling described above would increase the understanding of the distribution of arsenic mineralisation.
Nickel mineralisation remains open at depth so further deep drilling will test the extent of the Mineral Resource. Down Hole Electromagnetic surveys (DHEM) will be carried out where possible for all future drilling to aid in the delineation and discovery of conductive nickel sulphide mineralisation.

| Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data | Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data | Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data |
|---|---|---|
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. 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. |
Titan Resources used RC and Diamond core drilling with RC sampling based on 1m intervals. Core was split and submitted as half core or quarter core. Titan Resources core and RC sampling procedures were as follows; Diamond drill core is orientated using a spear every run, up to a maximum of 3 metres. The core is marked up by geologists and cut by ALS. The core is halved and then one half is cut in half again to produce ¼ core. The ¼ core is sampled for assaying. The core is sampled to the mineralisation contacts and at 1 m intervals through the mineralisation. Sampling continues for 10 m below the mineralisation footwall and 10m above the hanging wall. Outside of these zones non mineralised material is not sampled. Samples are produced at 1m intervals from RC drill holes. The samples are usually sampled as either 1 m or 4m composites. A representative scoop is taken through the sample bag. An anomalous 4 m composite sample is resampled at 1m intervals. INCO and WMC sampling techniques are not known. |
| Drilling Techniques | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
The McEwen Mineral Resource is based on assays and information from samples sourced through diamond core and RC drilling techniques. Drilling details for INCO and WMC are not known. Titan Resources Diamond drilling was undertaken by DrillCorp Western Deephole utilising a UDR 1000 heavy duty multi-purpose rig with a 900cfm x 350psi onboard compressor. Core size was NQ. Down hole camera shots were taken every 30m and orientations completed every 3 to 6m depending on the core competency. The core was oriented prior to being cut. Half core was retained for future reference and or metallurgical testwork. Holes were surveyed at 30m intervals down hole with and Eastman single shot camera. Titan Resources used McKay Drilling, a Kalgoorlie based company for RC drilling. The rig used was a 1998 Schramm T685W with a 1150/350 onboard compressor and a 1999 Western Air 1150/350 silenced compressor and 1800/900 Hurricane booster. |
| Drill Sample Recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Sample recovery of drilling by WMC and INCO is not known. No relationship between sample recovery and grade has been recognised. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |

MGA94_51S is the grid system used in this estimation. Historic survey methods are not known but INCO and WMC data was originally recorded in in local grids that have been converted to current MGA data. This conversion may have introduced some small errors. Downhole survey using Reflex gyro survey equipment was conducted during the program by the drill contractor. Older drill holes used single shot cameras, some do not have azimuth data due to interference of steel drill rods. Downhole Gyro survey data were converted from true north to MGA94 Zone51S and saved into the data base. The formulas used are: Grid Azimuth = True Azimuth + Grid Convergence. Grid Azimuth = Magnetic Azimuth + Magnetic Declination + Grid Convergence. The Magnetic Declination and Grid Convergence were calculated with and accuracy to 1 decimal place using plugins in QGIS. Magnetic Declination = 0.8 Grid Convergence= -0.7 |
| Specification of the grid system used Quality and adequacy of topographic control |
||
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied |
All RC drill holes were sampled at 1 metre intervals down hole. Select sample compositing has been applied at a nominal 4 metre intervals determined by the geologist. Historic RC drilling was at a minimum of 1m in mineralised zones. Some non-mineralised areas were sampled at larger intervals of up to 4m. Diamond core was sampled to geological contacts with some samples less than 1m in length. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Drilling has generally been oriented perpendicular to strike at dips from -45 to -90 degrees. Intersections are generally not true lengths. There is no significant bias introduced due to drilling orientation. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |

Numerous companies have taken varying interests in the project area since this time. Titan Resources held the tenement from 2001. Consolidated Minerals took ownership from Titan Resources in 2006, and Salt Lake Mining in 2014. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The geology in both areas comprises of sub-vertically dipping multiple sequences of ultramafic rock, metabasalt rock units and intermittent meta-sedimentary units. Contact zones between ultramafic rock and metabasalt are considered as favourable zones for nickel mineralisation. The basal contact has been folded over the crest of the Mt Edwards Anticline. The McEwen Hangingwall domains occur on the western or hanging-wall limb of the anticline. The McEwen domains, located about 500m south of the hanging-wall domains, are located on both limbs of the Mt Edwards Anticline . |
| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole, down hole length and interception depth, hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Relevant drill hole information has been tabled in the report including hole ID, drill type, drill collar location, elevation, drilled depth and azimuth. Historic drilling completed by previous owners has been verified and included in the drilling database. |
| Data aggregation methods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg 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. |
For RC drilling samples assessed as prospective for nickel mineralisation were assayed at single metre sample intervals, while zones where the geology were considered less prospective were assayed at a nominal 4 metre length composite sample. |

| 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Nickel mineralisation is hosted in the ultramafic rock unit close to the metabasalt contact zones. All drilling is angled to best intercept the favourable contact zones between ultramafic rock and metabasalt rock units to best as possible test true widths of mineralisation. Due to the steep orientation of the mineralised zones there will be minor exaggeration of the width of intercepts. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Appropriate maps, sections and tables are included in the body of this report |
| 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. |
Current understanding is based on historical mapping, drilling and sampling conducted by previous owners of the tenement. The geology of the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall deposits is well known. |
| 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. |
No further exploration data has been collected at this stage. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or large scale step out drilling. Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Further drilling, sampling and DHEM geophysics is recommended to test the potential lateral extents and infill areas for nickel mineralisation. Further metallurgical test work is recommended to improve the understanding of the nickel mineralisation and its amenability to extraction. |

| Geological interpretation |
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation. |
There are sufficient drill intersections through the mineralisation and geology to be confident of the geological interpretation. These types of nickel deposits have been mined in the Kambalda/Widgiemooltha region for many years and the geology is well documented. The basal contact of the ultramafic overlying mafics has been accurately located through many drill hole intersections. The nickel enriched base of the ultramafics also has been accurately determined through drill intersections. The basal contact corresponds closely with the higher- grade nickel mineralisation. |
| The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology |
High grade nickel is distributed along a narrow, convoluted ribbon extending down dip along the basal contact. Remobilisation of massive sulphides may complicate this distribution. Mineralised domains have been constructed based on proximity to the basal contact and the presence of anomalous nickel mineralisation. |
|
| Dimensions | The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. |
The modelled deposits of McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall have strike extents of 250 metres and 530 metres respectively. They have a vertical down dip extent of about 360m for McEwen Hangingwall and 400m for McEwen. The deepest part of the mineralised domain for McEwen Hangingwall is 430m below surface and McEwen 420m. The mineralised zones are from about 1m to 10m wide. |

| Estimation and modelling techniques |
The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domains, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters used. The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data. The assumptions made regarding recovery of by- products. Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation). In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed. Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. Any assumptions about correlation between variables. Description of how the geological interpretation was used to control the resource estimates. Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or capping. The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use of reconciliation data if available. |
The estimation was done for both deposits using ordinary kriging. Six mineralised domains were modelled representing the basal accumulation of nickel bearing sulphides, four at McEwen and two at McEwen Hangingwall. Lower levels of nickel mineralisation representing non sulphide nickel in the ultramafic rocks were generally not included however sometimes for continuity of domain modelling lower grade intersections were included. The Mineral Resource was estimated using Vulcan v2020. Only Ni was estimated due to lack of assaying for other elements in much of the deposit. Composites were modelled at 1m intervals to reflect the dominant sample intervals in the database. The block size was 5mX, 15mY, 5mZ. A sub-block size of 1.25Mx, 1.25My, 1.25Mz was used to accurately model the narrow ore horizon. A parent block size of 5mx12.5mx5m was used in grade estimation. The search directions were based on the orientation of the mineralised horizon. A two-pass estimation was used, pass 1 reflected the variography model ranges and pass 2 was 300% greater to ensure all blocks within the domain were estimated. No assumptions were made on correlation of modelled variables. A top cut of 6% was applied to nickel based on coefficient of variation analysis and cumulative log normal graphs. Comparison to previous estimates and swath plots were used to verify the model. Visual examination was also used. |
|
| Moisture | Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content. |
Estimates are on a dry tonne basis | |
| Cut-off parameters | The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. |
The reported cut-off grade of 1% Ni used for reporting corresponds to a potential mining cut-off grade appropriate for underground mining methods. |
|
| Mining factors or assumptions |
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions made. |
While no mining factors have been implicitly used in the modelling the model was constructed with underground mining methods considered the most likely to be used. |
|
| Metallurgical factors or assumptions |
The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. |
No metallurgical factors have been assumed however the oxide and transitional zones require additional mineralogical and metallurgical test-work to establish the nature and occurrence of nickel mineral species. |
|
| Environmental factors or assumptions |
Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential |
No environmental factors or assumptions were used in the modelling. |

| environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made. |
|||
| Bulk density | Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples. |
Bulk density within the mineralised horizon was estimated with a regression formula derived from 42 measurements on 11 diamond drill holes. The formula used is: Bulk Density (t/m3) = (0.1068 x Ni %) + 3.0607 Weathered material was assigned a density of 1.8 for oxide and 2.2 for transitional. Fresh Mafic waste 2.7 and ultramafic waste 2.9 |
|
| The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit. Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials. |
|||
| Classification | The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories. Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (i.e. relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data. Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit. The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates |
The McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources have been classified as Inferred. The wide spaced drilling in parts of both deposits and the lack of density measurements precludes a higher classification. McEwen HW in particular has only been drilled with holes dating to prior than 1990 with most dating to 1968-71. Additional infill drilling will be required to upgrade the classification. These classifications reflect the Competent Person’s view of the deposits. |
|
| Audits or reviews | Auralia Mining Consultants is independent of Neometals. |
||
| Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence |
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate. The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used. These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available. |
There is much drilling into the McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall Mineral Resources. The position of the nickel mineralised horizon has been well established as has the global grade. The stated tonnages and grade reflect the geological interpretation and the categorisation of the Mineral Resource estimates reflects the relative confidence and accuracy. |

APPENDIX 3: Significant and Mineralised Nickel Drill Intersections at McEwen and McEwen Hangingwall
This is a table of all drilling intersections within the six modelled domains, four at McEwen and two at McEwen Hangingwall. Due to the nature of the deposit not all have mineralisation. Where there is no value shown, the element was not assayed. Low grade intersections have been included where continuity of the mineralised shape necessitated it.
