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.

29 June 2021 – MCEWEN RESOURCES AT MT EDWARDS INCREASE 45% TO 41.5Kt CONTAINED NICKEL

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.

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.

Figure 17 ‐ Swath plots for Nickel McEwen All Domains.

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.

APPENDIX 1: Table 1 as per the JORC Code Guidelines (2012)

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.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data
Assay, Sample ID and logging data of the historical
databases are matched and validated using filters in the

The data is further visually validated by Neometals
geologists and database staff.
No adjustments have been made to assay data.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security Historic security measures are not known. Sample
security was not considered a significant risk to the
project.

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.
