PEEL MINING CEO JIM SIMPSON COMMENTED:

"The recent results from the 2021 resource drilling program at Mallee Bull have confirmed Mallee Bull's quality and continuity with exceptional copper-rich intervals from the heart of the Mallee Bull mineral system. Within the next week, Peel will have completed the final infill and extensional holes at Mallee Bull achieving a key milestone for the Southern Cobar Copper Project. The diamond drills will be relocating to Wirlong to commence extensional and infill drilling targeted at achieving critical mass for a future stand alone copper project."

The latest diamond drilling results represent the final assays for all drilling completed at Mallee Bull to the end of 2021. Targeted drilling at Mallee Bull has continued following restart in January 2022, with 10 new drillholes/intercepts completed (and two remaining holes underway) at the time of reporting. A comprehensive table of significant results to date is included in Table 3.

Mallee Bull resource upgrade drilling was undertaken to confirm the robustness of the Mallee Bull resource as a cornerstone of Peel's strategy to advance its South Cobar Copper Project. A total of 33,545 metres and 64 holes have been drilled over this period. The final extensional drill holes at Mallee Bull are anticipated to be completed shortly with the drill rigs relocating to Wirlong in the coming days.

Mineralisation remains open down dip and along strike, with multiple stacked lodes intersected. The assays received to date from this drill programme line up with prior drilling both spatially and for grade which is very positive for resource categorization in the next update, as 5.4mt out of 6.76mt (80%) is currently classified as inferred.

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). Refer to Peel Mining's ASX Announcement dated 6th July 2017 "Mallee Bull Resource Grows by 65% to 175,000t CuEq" for further details.

Wirlong

As mentioned above, extensional and infill drilling at Wirlong is anticipated to commence in the coming days utilising three drill rigs.

Assays for 18 drillholes completed prior to the end of 2021 are pending following completion of processing.

Completion of the recent resources review by the Company has highlighted the potential for significant resource growth at Wirlong; with those findings feeding into drill planning and design for the upcoming extensional and resource growth drill program.

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

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 (eg cutchannels, random chips, or specificspecialisedindustrystandardmeasurement tools appropriate to theminerals under investigation, such asdown hole gamma sondes, or handheldXRF instruments, etc). These examplesshould not be taken as limiting the broadmeaning of sampling.Include reference to measures taken toensure sample representivity and theappropriatecalibrationofanymeasurement tools or systems used.Aspectsofthedeterminationofmineralisation that are Material to thePublic Report.In cases where 'industry standard' workhas been done this would be relativelysimple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling wasused to obtain 1 m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30 gcharge for fire assay'). In other casesmore explanation may be required, suchas where there is coarse gold that hasinherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types (egsubmarinenodules)maywarrantdisclosure of detailed information. Diamondandreversecirculation(RC)drilling were used to obtain samples forgeological logging and assaying.Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1mintervalsonaverageorintervalsdetermined by geological contacts. RC drillholes were sampled at 1m intervals andsplit using a cone splitter attached to thecyclone to generate a split of 2-4kg toensure sample representivity.Multi-element readings were taken of thediamond core and RC drill chips using anOlympusDeltaInnov-XportableXRFmachine or an Olympus Vanta portable XRFmachine.PortableXRFmachinesareroutinely serviced, calibrated and checkedagainst blanks/standards.
Drillingtechniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (egcore diameter, triple or standard tube,depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bitor other type, whether core is orientedand if so, by what method, etc). Drilling to date has been a combination ofdiamond and reverse circulation. Reversecirculation drilling utilised a 5 1/2 inchdiameter hammer. PQ, HQ and NQ coringwas used for diamond drilling.
Drill samplerecovery Method of recording and assessing coreand chip sample recoveries and resultsassessed.Measures taken to maximise samplerecoveryandensurerepresentativenature of the samples.Whether a relationship exists betweensample recovery and grade and whethersample bias may have occurred due topreferentialloss/gainoffine/coarsematerial. Core recoveries are recorded by the drillersin the field at the time of drilling andchecked by a geologist or technician.RC samples are not weighed on a regularbasis but no significant sample recoveryissues have been encountered in drillingprograms to date.Diamondcoreisreconstructedintocontinuous runs on an angle iron cradle fororientationmarkinganddepthsarechecked against the depths recorded oncore blocks. Rod counts are routinelyundertaken by drillers.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
When poor sample recovery is encounteredduring drilling, the geologist and drillerhave endeavoured to rectify the problem toensure maximum sample recovery.Sample recoveries at Wirlong and MalleeBull to date have generally been high.
Logging Whether core and chip samples havebeen geologically and geotechnicallylogged to a level of detail to supportappropriateMineralResourceestimation,miningstudiesandmetallurgical studies.Whetherloggingisqualitativeorquantitative in nature. Core (or costean,channel, etc) photography.The total length and percentage of therelevant intersections logged. Allcoreanddrillchipsamplesaregeologicallylogged.Coresamplesareorientated and logged for geotechnicalinformation. Drill chip samples are loggedat 1m intervals from surface to the bottomof each individual hole to a level that willsupportappropriatefutureMineralResource studies.Logging of diamond core and RC samplesrecordslithology,mineralogy,mineralisation,structure(DDHonly),weathering, colour and other features ofthe samples. Core is photographed as bothwet and dry. Chips are photographed aswet samples.All diamond and RC drill holes in the currentprogram were geologically logged in full.

The majority ofsamples were dry.Bulk samples were placed in green plasticbags, with the sub-samples collected placedin calico sample bags.Field duplicates were collected by resplitting the bulk samples from large plasticbags. These duplicates were designed forlab checks.Laboratory duplicate samples are splitusing method SPL-21d which produces asplit sample using a riffle splitter. Thesesamples are selected by the geologist withinmoderate and high-grade zones.A sample size of 2-4kg was collected andconsidered appropriate and representativeforthegrainsizeandstyleofmineralisation.

Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidthsandinterceptlengths Theserelationshipsareparticularlyimportant in the reporting of ExplorationResults.If the geometry of the mineralisation withrespect to the drill hole angle is known, itsnature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down holelengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (eg 'downhole length, true width not known'). True widths are estimated to be 40-60%of the downhole width unless otherwiseindicated.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (withscales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significantdiscovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan viewofdrillholecollarlocationsandappropriate sectional views. Refer to Figures in the body of text.
Balancedreporting Where comprehensive reporting of allExploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both low andhigh grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reportingof Exploration Results. In relation to the disclosure of visualmineralisation, the Company cautionsthat visual estimates of sulphide andoxide material abundance should neverbe considered a proxy or substitute forlaboratory analysis. Laboratory assayresults are required to determine thewidthsandgradeofthevisiblemineralisation reported in preliminarygeological logging. The Company willupdate the market when laboratoryanalytical results become available.
