INVESTOR UPDATE
LUMWANA WEST, ZAMBIA Resource drilling with exploration upside
MURDIE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Massive iron oxide-copper-gold targets
LINDSAY OWLER, Director/CEO – June 2021
Argonaut Resources NL • ASX:ARE Level 6, 100 Pirie Street, Adelaide, SA, 5000 • argonaut.com.au
INTRODUCING ARGONAUT
Argonaut Resources NL is an ASX-listed company focused on:
- developing its Lumwana West copper-cobalt project in Northwestern Zambia; and
- exploring its 100% owned Murdie iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets in South Australia.
Argonaut invests in copper exploration and development. The company holds an impressive portfolio of exploration tenements in:
- Central African Copperbelt; and
- South Australia's Olympic Dam Domain.
Additionally, Argonaut is earning-in to a portfolio of gold and nickel licences at Higginsville in the Eastern Goldfields in Western Australia.

Murdie Copper South Australia
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Tier one copper exploration assets
Lumwana West, Zambia
- Copper-cobalt deposit confirmed by 50+ drill holes.
- Deposit sits between Barrick and First Quantum copper mines.
- 1,700m strike-length deposit which is open to the north and south.
- Exploration upside via surrounding targets.
- Near-surface copper-cobalt oxide mineralisation requires urgent drilling.
- Drilling program to commence July 2021.
- Metallurgical testing well advanced and returning excellent results.
- Potential for low cap-ex, near-term heap leach production.
- Argonaut: 90%
Strong potential for resource expansion and commercial production.
Murdie, South Australia
- Iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets in Olympic Dam geological domain.
- Targets nearby to OZ Minerals' Carrapateena mine and BHP's Oak Dam discovery.
- The Olympic Domain has a history of large, high-grade, unambiguous copper discoveries.
- A drilling program of 4-5 deep holes into large, prospective copper targets commenced in March 2021.
- The discovery of an IOCG deposit by Argonaut would be a transformative, company-making event.
- Argonaut: 100%
Argonaut is highly leveraged to a copper discovery at Murdie.

LUMWANA WEST, ZAMBIA Copper and cobalt
NYUNGU COPPER-COBALT DEPOSIT
- y Numerous adjacent and regional copper targets.
- y Surrounded by three major copper mines.
- y Road, power and smelting infrastructure.


NYUNGU COPPER-COBALT DEPOSIT And surrounding targets
• NYUNGU CENTRAL: deposit is defined by over 50 drill holes. A significant mineralised copper deposit with strong potential for extensions.
Demonstrated strike length: 1,700m
- NYUNGU SOUTH: edge of mineralised body intercepted by Argonaut drilling. Vast, undrilled IP geophysical anomaly warrants urgent testing.
- NYUNGU WEST and NYUNGU NORTH: drilling to date has not explained IP anomalies. Further testing warranted.
Major copper-cobalt deposit with potential for large extensions and repetitions.

| Copper* | 130 to 180 | 0.45 to 0.65 | 580 to 1,150 | |
| Cobalt^ | 15 to 20 | 0.08 to 0.12 | 12 to 24 |
* Copper Exploration Target estimation announced to the ASX by Argonaut on 9 April 2013.
^ Cobalt Exploration Target estimation announced to the ASX by Argonaut on 28 March 2017.
Exploration Targets have been independently estimated to JORC 2012 standards.
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

MURDIE PROJECT Drilling
- y The first hole of the current program, WLTD001, at Smith Dam 1 intercepted an IOCG alteration system.
- y The intensity of alteration indicates that WLTD001 is 300 to 1,000m from possible copper mineralisation.
- y Critical IOCG prerequisites were confirmed.
- y Drilling of the second drill target, Smith Dam 2, is in progress. Drilling in June 2021 at the Smith Dam 2 target.
