ASX RELEASE I 11 December 2024 EXPLORATION UPDATE – ORD BASIN PROJECT

.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Results from a 126 point UltraFine+™ sampling program

  • Soil sampling over discreet late-time conductor reveals coincident Cu-Au in-soil anomaly

  • Coincident Pt, Pd, and Ni in-soil anomalism over unidentified ultramafic unit

Omnia Metals Group Ltd (“ Omnia ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its 100% owned Ord Basin Project (the “ Project ”), located 140km south of Kununurra ( Figure 1 ). The Company has received results from a 126-sample UltraFine+™ (“ UFF ”) soil geochemistry program that has highlighted a copper-gold in-soil anomaly in the Northern Exploration Target, and a coincident platinum, palladium, and nickel in-soil anomaly in the Southern Exploration Target.

The sampling process was closely monitored by representatives of the Purnululu people, marking a significant milestone as the Company strengthens its relationship with the Traditional Owners of the land on which the Ord Basin Project is located ( Figure 2 ).

OMNIA METALS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JAMES WARREN SAID….

"We have maintained a disciplined approach in advancing exploration across our portfolio, particularly focusing on our gold, copper, and nickel assets in Western Australia.

“In consultation with the Traditional Owners, we have completed our maiden program at our Ord Basin Project which marks an important milestone for the Company. The early results are highly encouraging, and we look forward to following up the soil anomalies in the new year. We are particularly interested in chasing the anomalism to the north and are in consultation with the Marlangowem People. We are currently well advanced in our planning and will update the market with future work programs at Ord Basin.

“In parallel, we continue our exhaustive efforts to meet ASX requirements for reinstating our securities and resuming trading.

“I want to thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience as we position the Company to uncover and develop critical minerals essential to the global energy transition.

“We look forward to providing further updates as we engage with the ASX and execute our exploration strategy across our diverse portfolio."

EXPLORATION UPDATE – ORD BASIN PROJECT

Surface soil sampling at the Ord Basin Project was completed as a first-pass screening technique to assess the mineralisation potential by determining whether geochemical anomalies are present at the surface. Shallow soil samples (~15cm depth) were collected by hand on 100m x 200m spaced grids.

Initial exploration efforts were focused on two primary target areas ( refer OM1 ASX release 1 Oct 2024 & Figure 2 ), aimed at identifying different styles of mineralisation:

  1. Copper-Nickel Sulphide mineralisation

  2. Carbonatite/Kimberlite-related mineralisation, potentially hosting Rare Earth Elements or Diamonds

The northern exploration target was centred around a discrete late-time conductor identified from aerial VTEM surveys ( refer to OM1 ASX Release 25 July 2023 ). Southern Geoscience Consultants processed and interpreted the VTEM data, identifying the anomaly as a high-priority target for follow-up work due to its potential to indicate conductive mineralisation at depth. Results from the recent soil sampling program have revealed peak gold values up to 32.8 ppb ( Figure 3 ) and copper values up to 1200 ppm in soil ( Figures 3 & 4 ).

The southern exploration target was focused on a pipe-like intrusive body, with magnetic and radiometric data suggesting it may be a carbonatite or kimberlite structure. Diamond sampling was completed at the southern exploration target; however, no material results have been reported. Results from the recent soil sampling program revealed coincident anomalism between platinum group elements (platinum and palladium) and nickel within the Lamboo Province intrusive ultramafic unit. Peak PGE values over the southern exploration target reach up to 324 ppb (or 0.3 g/t) and are supported by nickel values >800 ppm ( Figure 5 ), with peak nickel values up to 1800 ppm ( Figure 6 ).

Pending hertiage approvals from the Malarngowem Native Title group, the next stage of exploration at the Ord Basin Project will comprise a follow-up aerial VTEM survey to deliniate the extent of the discrete late-time conductor in the north of tenement E 80/5353. Based on results from the aerial VTEM survey, geological mapping and follow-up surface geochemistry sampling will be conducted in H1 2025. Following on from aerial EM surveys, on-ground Moving Loop EM (“MLEM”) surveys will be conducted over areas with coincident PGE-Ni-Cu and Au soil anomalism.

ABOUT THE ORD BASIN PROJECT

The Ord Basin Project comprises a 1,305 km[2] tenement package located ~140 km south of Kununurra. Access is via the unsealed Duncan Road and to the west, the Great Northern Highway is a major arterial road that services numerous mining operations in the Kimberley region.

The Ord Basin Project is situated in a rapidly emerging district prospective for Michigan-style stratigraphic copper and Norilsk-style nickel copper-PGE mineral systems.

At the Caves Prospect, historical mapping and sampling completed in 1969 identified outcropping mineralisation over an area of approximately 90m x 180m before dipping under cover.
