SOUTHERN NIGHTS

• Recently returned assays from Southern Nights drilling (completed earlier this year) confirm mineralisation remains open to South

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to report assays from recent infill drillholes have confirmed additional high-grade copper and very high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralised intercepts in resource upgrade drilling at its 100%-owned Mallee Bull copper deposit, centred ~100km south of Cobar, NSW.

Peel is progressing to establish critical mass via the definition of high-quality mineral resources at each of its deposits. Drilling at the Mallee Bull and Wirlong copper deposits is part of the Company's copper first strategy, focusing on advancing these two copper assets as a priority.

PEEL MINING MANAGING DIRECTOR ROB TYSON COMMENTED:

"As anticipated, Mallee Bull is now delivering the broad high-grade copper intercepts we saw historically, with MBDD048 and MBDD052 yielding very impressive chalcopyrite-rich intersections."

"In addition, and as foreshadowed, the very high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation seen in MBDD046 has now been repeated in nearby drillholes MBDD048 and MBDD051, substantiating the likely presence of a new, economically important, zinc-lead-silver lens."

"Drilling at Mallee Bull continues to advance well with ~75% of the original resource definition program now completed. A review of drilling is currently underway seeking to optimise the resource upgrade outcome in anticipation of study work in the new year. Further results are anticipated to be received in the coming weeks."

MALLEE BULL

Mallee Bull is amongst Australia's highest grade undeveloped copper deposits, and resource upgrade drilling is part of Peel's strategy to advance each of its deposits to mineable resources, as part of the Company's copper first development strategy.

The 2017 resource estimate for Mallee Bull (see Table 1) comprises 6.76Mt at 1.8% Cu, 31g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 0.6% Pb, 0.6% Zn (2.6% CuEq) containing approximately 119,000t Cu, 6.6Moz Ag, 83,000oz Au, 38,000t Pb, 38,000t Zn) (using a 1% CuEq cut-off) – Table 1. Refer to Peel Mining's ASX Announcement dated 6th July 2017 "Mallee Bull Resource Grows by 65% to 175,000t CuEq" for further details.

As previously reported, Peel identified significant copper and zinc-lead mineralisation in multiple drillholes recently completed as part of resource definition drilling, with recently returned assays confirming these observations, including:

    • 8.27m @ 3.62% Cu, 23g/t Ag from 311m

Recent drilling continues to return visibly significant zones of strong copper and zinc-lead mineralisation. Processing and sampling of core remains ongoing, with further pending assays noted in Table 3. Table 7 shows visual estimates of mineralisation for unreported drillholes MBDD053 to 067. Table 4 shows all significant resource upgrade drilling intercepts returned to date, including previously released results, of which better intersections include:

MBDD034 o 21m @ 2.03% Cu, 38g/t Ag from 319m MBDD037 o 62m @ 2.14% Cu, 15g/t Ag from 324m MBDD038 o 36m @ 3.55% Cu, 72g/t Ag from 345m MBDD043 o 9.67m @ 1.08% Cu, 11g/t Ag from 267.33m MBDD046

  • o 7.85m @ 17.72% Zn, 18.13% Pb, 127g/t Ag, 0.34% Cu, 0.58g/t Au from 371.2m

  • o 6m @ 1.25% Cu, 44g/t Ag from 485m
  • o 20m @ 1.26% Cu, 6g/t Ag from 541m

Although mineralisation at Mallee Bull commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 800m below surface, remaining open along strike and at depth, the bulk of Mallee Bull's contained copper is located from ~350m below surface where resources are predominantly of an Inferred nature. The resource upgrade drilling program, comprising ~20,000m of diamond drilling, is primarily designed to convert Inferred classified resources to Indicated classification. Two, double shifting multi-purpose drill rigs are completing the program.

Resource upgrade drilling at Mallee Bull is progressing well and at the time of reporting ~75% of the original program was complete. A review of drilling is currently underway seeking to optimise the resource upgrade outcome in anticipation of study work in the new year.

Processing and assaying are continuing with further results anticipated in the coming weeks.

Peel also currently has two double-shifting multi-purpose drill rigs completing a maiden resource drilling program at its nearby Wirlong high-grade copper deposit as it forges ahead with its copper first plan for its South Cobar Project. An exploration update on drilling results from Wirlong is anticipated in the near future.

MALLEE BULL BACKGROUND

The Mallee Bull copper deposit is located approximately 100km south of Cobar in western NSW and is situated on a 20,000-acre pastoral lease owned by Peel Mining.

In 2010, Peel was granted exploration lease EL7461 which encompassed the historic Gilgunnia and 4- Mile goldfields. Exploration initially focused on the known polymetallic potential of the May Day deposit located within ML1361 (wholly contained within EL7461) until a 2010 airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey resulted in the recognition of a coincident late time conducting anomaly and magnetic high proximal to the historic 4-Mile goldfields. A subsequent ground-based geophysical survey

confirmed the anomaly in early 2011, and follow-up RC and diamond drilling resulted in the discovery of strongly anomalous polymetallic (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) mineralisation.

In 2012, CBH Resources entered a farm-in agreement to acquire 50% of the Mallee Bull and May Day projects for $8.3m expenditure. During the JV partnership, seven drill programs were completed at Mallee Bull, providing the basis for the reporting of a maiden mineral resource in 2014 and an updated mineral resource in 2017 (see Table 1). In 2020, Peel regained 100% control of the Mallee Bull and May Day deposits.

Total Resource 6,760 2.6 1.8 31 0.4 0.6 0.6

Since discovery in 2011, drilling activities at Mallee Bull and proximal targets (prior to the current resource drilling programme) have comprised 125 RAB holes, 153 RC holes (including 42 with diamond tails), and 51 diamond holes (including 11 wedge holes) for a total of ~9,500m of RAB drilling, ~28,400m of RC drilling, and ~30,500m of diamond drilling at end 2020. Mineralisation at Mallee Bull commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 800m below surface and remains open along strike and at depth. Other exploration activities completed at Mallee Bull and surrounds include extensive surface geochemical sampling, geological mapping, and numerous airborne, surface and downhole geophysical surveys.

Mallee Bull has historically returned many significant drill intercepts – see Table 2:

Mallee Bull is interpreted to be in a favourable geological and structural position; it is situated in an interpreted high-stress environment of the "nose" of an anticline and occurs in a geological sequence of turbidite and volcaniclastic sediments which are thought to be age equivalent to the Chesney and Great Cobar Slate Formations found in the immediate Cobar region. Mineralisation occurs either as massive sulphide or hydrothermal breccia styles within a package of brecciated volcaniclastic and turbidite sediments comprising siltstones and mudstones and is interpreted to occur as a shoot/lens-like structure dipping moderately to the west. The deposit is currently subdivided into three lenses: Silver Ray, Union, and Mallee Bull.

SOUTHERN NIGHTS

Peel completed a short drill program to test the southward extension of mineralisation at Southern Nights early in the year. The program confirmed that mineralisation remains open to the south, with better results including:

WTRCDD248

  • o 1.2m @ 8.14% Zn, 3.58% Pb, 36g/t Ag from 276m
  • o 16m @ 1.76% Zn, 0.80% Pb, 21g/t Ag from 297m including:
    • 2m @ 2.66% Zn, 2.59% Pb, 66g/t Ag from 297m

WTDD002

  • o 2m @ 1.34% Zn, 0.43% Pb, 7g/t Ag from 302m
  • o 1.8m @ 1.56% Zn from 297m

These results continue the southern trend outside of the current mineral resource for Southern Nights, as seen in previously reported significant new massive sulphide, including:

WTRCDD243

o 4.6m @ 12.48% Zn, 4.22% Pb, 58g/t Ag from 273.45m

WTRCDD244

o 8m @ 6.30% Zn, 2.74% Pb, 63g/t Ag from 276m

The massive sulphide mineralisation returned in WTRCDD244 occurs ~35m south of the current resource model, with WTRCDD248 occurring ~85m further south. Follow up drilling is expected in the new year to continue to grow this major mineral system.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors.

Cpy = chalcopyrite; Po = pyrrhotite; Py = pyrite; Sph = sphalerite; Gn = galena. Pure chalcopyrite contains ~34.5% Cu. Pure sphalerite contains ~67% Zn. Pure galena contains ~86.6% Pb. In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

JORC CODE (2012 Edition) – Table 1 Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for South Cobar Project

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Samplingtechniques •Nature and quality of sampling (egcut channels, random chips, orspecific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate tothe minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning of sampling.•Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity andthe appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.•Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to thePublic Report.•In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would berelatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 msamples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fireassay'). In other cases more explanationmay be required, such as wherethere is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. •Diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used to obtain samplesfor geologicallogging and assaying.•Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m intervals on average or intervalsdetermined by geological contacts. RC drill holes were sampled at 1mintervals and split using a cone splitter attached to the cyclone to generate asplit of 2-4kg to ensure sample representivity.•Multi-element readings were taken of the diamond core and RC drill chipsusing an Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF machine or an Olympus Vantaportable XRF machine. Portable XRF machines are routinely serviced,calibrated and checked against blanks/standards.
Drillingtechniques •Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary airblast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple orstandard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). •Drilling to date has been a combination of diamond and reverse circulation.Reverse circulation drilling utilised a 5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. PQ, HQand NQ coring was used for diamond drilling.
Drill samplerecovery •Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries andresults assessed.•Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representativenature of the samples.•Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade andwhether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain offine/coarse material. •Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers in the field at the time of drillingand checked by a geologist or technician.•RC samples are not weighed on a regular basisbut no significant samplerecovery issues have been encountered in drilling programs to date.•Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradlefor orientation marking and depths are checked against the depths recordedon core blocks. Rod counts are routinely undertaken by drillers.•When poor sample recovery is encountered during drilling, the geologist anddriller have endeavoured to rectify the problem to ensure maximum samplerecovery.•Sample recoveries at Mallee Bull to date have generally been high.
Logging •Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and •All core and drill chip samples are geologically logged. Core samples are

Drill chip samples arelogged at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom of each individual hole toa level thatwill support appropriate future Mineral Resource studies.•Logging of diamond core and RC samples records lithology, mineralogy,mineralisation, structure (DDH only),weathering, colour and other featuresof the samples. Core is photographed as both wet and dry. Chips arephotographed as wet samples.•All diamond and RC drill holes in the current program were geologicallylogged in full.
Sub-samplingtechniques andsamplepreparation •If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.•If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whethersampled wet or dry.•For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of thesample preparation technique.•Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages tomaximise representivity of samples.•Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the insitu material collected, including for instance results for fieldduplicate/second-half sampling.•Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the materialbeing sampled. •Drill core was cut with a core saw and half core taken.•The RC drilling rigs were equipped with an in-built cyclone and splittingsystem, which provided one bulk sample of approximately 20kg and a subsample of 2-4kg per metre drilled.•All samples were split using the system described above to maximise andmaintain consistent representivity. The majority of samples were dry.•Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samplescollected placed in calico sample bags.•Field duplicates were collected by re-splitting the bulk samples from largeplastic bags. These duplicates were designed for lab checks.•Laboratory duplicate samples are split using method SPL-21d whichproduces a split sample using a riffle splitter. These samples are selected bythe geologist within moderate and high-grade zones.•A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and considered appropriate andrepresentative for the grain size and style of mineralisation.
Quality of assaydata andlaboratory tests •The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratoryprocedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.•For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, theparameters used in determining the analysis including instrument makeand model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and theirderivation, etc.•Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels ofaccuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. •ALS Laboratory Services were used for Au and multi-element analysis workcarried on out on 1msplit RC samplesand half core DDH samples.

In-house QA/QC tests are conducted by the lab on each batch ofsamples with standards supplied by the same companies that supply ourown.
Verification ofsampling andassaying •The verification of significant intersections by either independent oralternative company personnel.•The use of twinned holes.•Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, dataverification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.•Discuss any adjustment to assay data. •All geological logging and sampling information is completed via GeobankMobile or in spreadsheets, which are then transferred to a database forvalidation and compilation at the Peel head office. Electronic copies of allinformation are backed up periodically.•No adjustments of assay data are considered necessary.
Location of datapoints •Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar anddown-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used inMineral Resource estimation.•Specification of the grid system used.•Quality and adequacy of topographic control. •A Garmin hand-held GPS is used to define the location of the drill holes.Standard practice is for the GPS to be left at the site of the collar for a periodof 5 minutes toobtain a steady reading. Collars are routinely picked up afterby DGPS.•Down-hole surveys are conducted by the drill contractors using either aReflex gyroscopic tool with readings every 10m after drill hole completion ora Reflex electronic multi-shot camera will be used with readings for dip andmagnetic azimuth taken every 30m down-hole. QA/QC in the field involvescalibration using a test stand. The instrument is positioned with a stainlesssteel drill rod so as not to affect themagnetic azimuth.•Grid system used is MGA 94 (Zone 55). All down-hole magnetic surveys wereconverted to MGA94 grid.

it included diamond drilling, IP surveys, geological mapping andreconnaissance geochemical sampling around the historic Four MileGoldfield area. Prior to Triako Resources, Pasminco Explorationexplored the Cobar Basin area for a "Cobar-type" or "Elura-type" zinclead-silver or copper-gold-lead-zinc deposit.
Geology •Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •The Mallee Bull prospect area lies within the Cobar-Mt Hope SiluroDevonian sedimentary and volcanic units. The northern Cobar regionconsists of predominantly sedimentary units with tuffaceous member,whilst the southern Mt Hope region consists of predominantly felsicvolcanic rocks; the Mallee Bull prospect appearsto be in an area ofoverlap between these two regions. Mineralisation at the Mallee Bulldiscovery features the Cobar-style attributes of short strike lengths(<200m), narrow widths (5-20m) and vertical continuity and occurs as ashoot-like structure dipping moderately to the west.
Drill hole Information •A summary of all information material to the understanding of theexploration results including a tabulation of the following information forall Material drill holes:oeasting and northing of the drill hole collaroelevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres)of the drill hole collarodip and azimuth of the holeodown holelength and interception depthohole length.•If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that theinformation is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from theunderstanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearlyexplain why this is the case. •All relevant information material to the understanding of explorationresults has been included within the body of the announcement or asappendices.•No information has been excluded.
Data aggregationmethods •In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (egcutting of high grades)and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.•Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high graderesults and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used forsuch aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail. •No length weighting or top-cuts have been applied.•No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results.

•The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent valuesshould be clearly stated.
Relationship betweenmineralisation widthsand intercept lengths •These relationships are particularly important in the reporting ofExploration Results.•If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angleis known, its nature should be reported.•If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, thereshould be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true widthnot known'). •True widths are estimated to be 40-60% of the downhole width unlessotherwise indicated.
Diagrams •Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significant discovery being reported Theseshould include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collarlocations and appropriate sectional views. •Refer to Figures in the body of text.
Balanced reporting •Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is notpracticable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/orwidths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of ExplorationResults. •In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Companycautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundanceshould never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis.Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and gradeof the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging.The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical resultsbecome available.
Other substantiveexploration data •Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reportedincluding (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical surveyresults; geochemical survey results; bulk samples –size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious orcontaminating substances. •No other substantive exploration data are available.
