ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Panther Metals Ltd ( ASX: PNT ), (' Panther ' or 'the Company' ) is pleased to announce the completion of its IPO on the ASX.
Daniel Tuffin, Managing Director, commented:
"Panther is extremely pleased with its IPO capital raising, which enables the rapid progression of exploration on our 100%-owned Western Australian and Northern Territory nickel and gold projects.
The Company has budgeted for an extensive exploration program over the coming two years and will commence drilling soon after listing. Our near-term focus is on multiple drillready targets converting the existing nickel-cobalt JORC exploration target at the Coglia Ni-Co Project into a JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate followed by infill/extensional drilling at the Red Flag Nickel Sulphide and Merolia Gold projects commencing during the first quarter of 2022.
Historical drilling at our gold Projects, particularly at Merolia, where 4m @ 46.5g/t was intercepted at the Ironstone Gold prospect, suggests high-grade potential. We will be testing that with diamond drilling, beginning in early Q1 2022.
I'd like to welcome our new shareholders and extend our gratitude to the existing investors, many of whom have followed their money and invested in Panther's IPO. We have an exciting future, and we look forward to updating you with drilling results in the near term."

Panther's Portfolio:
In Western Australia, the Company has assembled a highly prospective multi-commodity land package situated in the Tier 1 mining district of Laverton in the WA Gold Fields (Figure 2). Approximately 48% of the IPO funding will be directed to exploring the WA portfolio with multiple drill-ready targets. Panther's portfolio includes:

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
-
Coglia Nickel-Cobalt Project – Highly prospective for nickel-cobalt laterite mineralisation and potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation. Drill ready
-
Merolia Gold Project – A dominant landholding over some of the most prospective and underexplored ground in the region with multiple targets, including Ironstone, which previously recorded 4m @ 46.5g/t Au & Burtville East (5m @ 23g/t Au in prior drilling). Drill ready
-
Red Flag Nickel-Sulphide Project - High definition AMAG, potentially followed by 4,000m of RC drilling to test any potential resulting targets and drill either side of the Woodline Well trend. Drill ready
-
Mikado Gold Project – Plans to focus on initial drilling and the southern extensions.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data relating to its Projects as previously disclosed in the Company's IPO prospectus dated 29 October 2021.
For further information on each of these Projects, please refer to the Independent Geologist’s Report in the Prospectus (see ASX release on 8 December 2021).
Imminent Drilling at the Coglia Nickel-Cobalt Project (WA)
The Coglia Project is located in the Laverton region of WA, 70km east of Glencore's Murrin Murrin N-Co plant. The project area is highly prospective for nickel-cobalt laterite mineralisation and the potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Based upon the previous exploration by Heron Resources (2001-03) and Whitecliff Minerals (2018), Panther has recently estimated a Ni-Co JORC Exploration Target of 3050Mt (Table 1).
| Tonnage Range | Tonnage Range | Grade Range Nickel % | Grade Range Nickel % | Grade Range Cobaltppm | Grade Range Cobaltppm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 0.6 | 0.8 | 400 | 600 |
Table 1: Coglia Nickel-Cobalt JORC exploration target
*The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Mineral Resources.
Panther plans to upgrade the Exploration Target to a Mineral Resource with a 4,000m infill drill program to begin almost immediately. This drilling is also intended to yield material for metallurgical and mineralogical test-work.
The Company also intends to further investigate the potential for nickel sulphide mineralisation at Coglia.

Merolia Gold Project (WA)
The Merolia Gold Project contains a dominant land holding over some of the region's most prospective and underexplored ground. Four major gold targets have been identified with immediate drilling planned on three:
-
40 Mile Camp - New 2.5km x 5km anomaly discovered by Panther in aeromagnetic data coupled with a large geochemical anomaly. Drilling is planned immediately post listing.
-
Burtville East - Series of wide quartz reef outcrops and significant geochemical anomalies and mineralised stockpiles ready for treatment with grab samples showing grades up to 38.5 g/t Au - Three diamond drill holes planned shortly after listing.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
-
Ironstone Gold - Main Lode contains multiple fresh and oxide mineralisation zones, open along strike and at depth. An undrilled area in the vicinity contains bulls-eye soil geochemical anomaly with a peak gold value of 340ppb within a halo of >100ppb gold values - Follow up RC drilling at Ironstone is planned immediately post listing.
-
Comet Well - Located on a major regional fault structure, the area has produced alluvial gold as well as highly anomalous gold values from soil sampling activities with a peak value of 2600 ppb (2.6g/t) but more commonly 20-50 ppb gold with several samples greater than 100ppb.

Red Flag Nickel Sulphide Project (WA)
The Project is situated in the prolific Nickel-Cobalt belt 25km west of Laverton, positioned between Glencore's Murrin Murrin plant and the historic Windarra South mine (~3.1Mt @ 1.35% Ni).
The Project is comprised of two separate areas. The northern project area contains the Woodline Well Extension/Salamis Nickel Sulphide Prospect. The southern project area is located on granted tenement E39/1585, containing the Eight Foot Well Gold and the Mt Goose Ni-Co projects.

Figure 5: Red Flag Project location, total magnetic intensity and regional nickel deposits
In the northern Project area, which surrounds Poseiden Nickel Ltd's Woodline Well Project, Panther intends to complete high definition airmag to better define potential Ni targets, followed by 4,000m of RC drilling. In the southern project area encompassing gold and Ni-Co prospects, the Company is planning a 2,500m RC program at Eight Foot Well following the Coglia drill program and 3,000m at Mt Goose in the second half of Calender 2022.
