PRE-DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

SOUTH COBAR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Peel’s South Cobar Project (SCP), which includes its Cobar NSW assets of the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, May Day, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank deposits, has a copper focused strategy for development of the project. The SCP project is centred on establishing initial critical mass via high quality mineral resource definition at each of Peel’s copper deposits, Mallee Bull and Wirlong, to support a proposed centralised processing plant located at Mallee Bull. The Wirlong deposit is approximately 40km by road from Mallee Bull.

Figure 1. South Cobar Project (SCP) Roadmap & Strategy

Peel is seeking to establish critical mass via the definition of high-quality mineral resources at each of the Company’s deposits to support a substantial operation possessing economy of scale and mine life. The Mallee Bull and Wirlong copper dominant deposits present an opportunity to take advantage of a strong copper market, simplifying the notional sequencing of the deposits and metallurgical processes, and allowing for the potential staging of capital.

WIRLONG METALLURGICAL TESTWORK

Metallurgical testwork has been focused on the Company’s Wirlong copper deposit, ahead of the release of a maiden resource later this year. Metallurgical samples from WLDD009, WLDD011 and WLDD013 were selected as potentially representative of the grade and mineralisation styles for the anticipated resource model. The sample composites were continuous, with the two WLDD013 samples divided into a low-grade and high-grade interval to capture the likely grade variations that could exist.

The testwork program was conducted by ALS Metallurgy Lab in Burnie, Tasmania, and was designed to establish a preliminary flowsheet and assess recoverability of the Wirlong copper mineralisation into a flotation concentrate. Following initial grind establishment and two-staged “cleaner” sequential flotation process, a six-stage repetitive locked cycle test was undertaken on Wirlong samples to simulate operation of a continuous circuit where an intermediate recirculation process of the cleaner stream(s) is performed.

The results from this early-stage testwork were outstanding, with the locked cycle flotation tests yielding 95% copper recoveries to 32% copper concentrate grade. These excellent results were attributed to the purity of the chalcopyrite dominant mineralisation and the absence of any other sulphide minerals.

ORE SORTING TESTWORK

Following on from the successful ore-sorting testwork conducted in January 2021, on the Mallee Bull and Southern Nights deposits - see ASX Announcement 28[th] January 2021 “Processing Hub Report & Promising Ore-Sorting Testwork Results”, the Company submitted samples from the Wirlong and Mallee Bull deposits to undergo further ore-sorting trials at the TOMRA Sorting facility in Sydney.

Peel Mining Limited ACN 119 343 734 Unit 1, 34 Kings Park Rd, West Perth, WA 6005. Ph: (08) 9382 3955. E: [email protected] www.peelmining.com.au ASX: PEX

==> picture [149 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

For performance testing all material was crushed and screened at 8 - 19mm & 19 - 50mm with subsequent 8 - 19mm & 19 - 50mm products sorted. Less than 8mm material was considered as unsorted undersize material and would be directly milled in a conceptual full-scale operation.

The primary sorting task was to investigate the sortability of material from three samples - designated A, B & C - and attempt to provide high-recovery sorts for both size fractions. All runs utilized both DE-XRT processing to eject high-density sulphides and the EM sensor to eject any magnetic / conductive sulphides such as pyrrhotite.

==> picture [452 x 168] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Cu values for Wirlong Sample A, B and C

Results generated from the Wirlong testwork were very successful. Significant upgrades were achieved within all runs for the sample A, B and C. The selected samples were composited to represent variability within the deposit and as such, have varied feed grades.

Due to the well liberated nature of the sulphides and excellent classification of material types, all samples consistently produced low-grade waste fractions (less than 0.42% Cu) enabling copper recoveries to remain consistently high (greater than 94% across all runs).

Importantly A and C samples had extremely low waste grade (less than 0.1% Cu) while only Sample B had elevated waste grades, due to a higher feed grade.

Results generated from the Mallee Bull testwork were also very successful. Significant upgrades were achieved within all runs for the Sample A, B and C. The selected samples were composited to represent variability within the deposit and as such, have varied feed grades.

Once again, due to the well liberated nature of the sulphides and excellent classification of material types, all samples consistently produced low-grade waste fractions (less than 0.30% Cu) enabling copper recoveries to remain consistently high (greater than 92% across all runs).

It is recommended that for best performance, the size range is kept to a maximum 3:1 top to bottom size ratio (e.g. 10-30mm). This will likely achieve an ideal balance between quality and throughput rate. Depending on size distribution of material after crushing, minor changes can be made on site during trials. Considering the effectiveness of the size fraction in this set of testwork, a 9mm minimum and 50mm maximum particle size is recommended.

ENVIRONMENT AND PERMITTING

During the June quarter the Company commissioned R.W Corkery & Co. Pty. Limited to upgrade existing Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for the proposed Mallee Bull exploration decline and associated surface infrastructures. Subsequently, the company is also looking to seek regulatory approval to develop an exploration decline and associated surface infrastructures at Wirlong.

In the September quarter, documents for the development of a proposed exploration decline and associated surface infrastructure at Mallee Bull were submitted to the relevant government agencies and to specialist consultants to address agency requirements in the REF. Further, the Company commissioned a number of environmental specialist consultants to undertake environmental assessments (biodiversity, heritage, air quality, noise and vibration assessment) at Mallee Bull in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Successful underground exploration will allow the company to seek approval for conversion to a full mining operation, with the benefit of established infrastructure. It is anticipated that theregulatory approval for the exploration decline will take between 6 to 9 months after the submission of Review of Environmental Factor (REF) to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment – Resource Regulator.

Next Steps

Following the successful first pass metallurgy and ore-sorting testwork assessment on the Wirlong deposit, the ore-sorted samples have been sent off for first pass metallurgy testwork. Furthermore, Peel has selected additional metallurgy testwork samples at Mallee Bull for further metallurgy testwork to cover various grades of of Copper,Lead and Zinc to optimize the recovery process and conceptual process flowsheet.

Environmental Assessment is expected to be completed during the upcoming quarter for the preparation and submission of Mallee Bull’s Review of Environmental Factor (REF). The company is focusing on completing baseline environmental field surveys and maiden mineral resource estimation for the Wirlong deposit to start preparing for the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) permitting process for the proposed Wirlong exploration decline and associated surface infrastructure.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

MALLEE BULL - COPPER, SILVER, GOLD, LEAD, ZINC; WESTERN NSW.

Mallee Bull represents one of Australia’s highest grade undeveloped copper deposits and is located ~100km south of Cobar, NSW and ~40km south of Peel’s Wirlong copper deposit. The Company is currently undertaking Resource upgrade drilling at the Mallee Bull deposit. These drilling results will be applied to its 2017 resource estimate for Mallee Bull (See Mineral Resource Estimates), which comprises 6.76 Mt 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, 6.6 Moz Ag, 83,000 oz Au, 38,000t Pb, 38,000t Zn) (using a 1% CuEq cut-off). Refer to 6th July 2017 announcement “Mallee Bull Resource Grows by 65% to 175,000t CuEq” for further details. This drilling is part of the Company’s strategy to advance each of the Company’s deposits to mineable resources in order to achieve critical mass.

The resource upgrade drilling program, comprising ~20,000m of diamond drilling, is primarily designed to convert Inferred classified resources to Indicated classification. Drilling is being undertaken by two, double shifting multi-purpose drill rigs, with initial focus on the zone between 300m and 500m below surface. A total of 21 diamond drillholes were completed during the September quarter (MBDD048-MBDD067, MBDD069) for a total of 11,659m.

Assay results returned from Mallee Bull during the quarter confirmed high-grade copper and very highgrade zinc-lead-silver mineralised intercepts. Full details on assays released to the market can be found in announcements: “Impressive Infill Copper Hits at Peel’s Mallee Bull” on the 2[nd] of August 2021, “Mallee Bull Yields Further High-Grade Copper and New Zone of High-Grade Zinc-Lead-Silver” on the 20[th] August 2021 and “High-Grade Copper & Zinc-Lead-Silver Hits Continue at Mallee Bull” on the 30[th] September 2021.

Next Steps

Resource infill drilling will continue with drilling anticipated to be completed in the December quarter. A review of drilling is currently underway seeking to optimise the resource upgrade outcome in anticipation of study work in the new year. An existing internal scoping study for Mallee Bull will then be updated to reflect its potential contribution to the conceptual Hub and Spoke development model. Metallurgical testwork, geotechnical studies, and underground mining studies will be ongoing to assist the Company with collating and releasing a scoping study on the project as part of the broader South Cobar Deposit Concept Study.

WIRLONG - COPPER, SILVER; WESTERN NSW.

Wirlong is located ~75km south of Cobar, NSW and about 40km north of Peel’s Mallee Bull copper deposit. Wirlong represents a classic Cobar-style Cu-Ag deposit analogous to the CSA mine. The prospect is preresource, however internal modelling shows good potential to establish a copper-rich Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. Strong copper mineralisation commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 600m below surface. The deposit remains open along strike and at depth.

During the quarter drilling continued as part of a resource definition drilling programme to establish a Maiden copper-dominant resource at the Wirlong prospect. The resource definition program originally comprised ~15,000m of drilling and is anticipated to be completed in the later part of 2021. Drilling at Wirlong has been designed to drill test the upper ~300m of the Wirlong Central zone where high-grade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is understood to be structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation.

14 diamond drillholes were completed during the September quarter for a total of 7,336.5m. An additional three diamond drillholes were completed post quarter end with diamond drilling ongoing at the time of reporting. Assay results have been returned for a further eight diamond drillholes completed in the June quarter and for one drillhole completed in the September quarter.

Highlights from diamond assays returned and released to the market during the September quarter include:

  • 21m @ 1.31% Cu, 6g/t Ag from 336m including 6m @ 2.2% Cu, 9g/t Ag from 337m in WLDD022

  • 22m @ 1.36% Cu, 4g/t Ag from 256m including 5m @ 2.91% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 260m in WLDD024

  • 13m @ 2.2% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 315m including 5m @ 4.35% Cu, 14g/t Ag from 319m in WLDD029

  • 205m @ 1.4% Cu, 3g/t Ag from 434m including 161m @ 1.53% Cu, 3g/t Ag from 434m; which entail included 11m @ 4.32% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 501m and 10m @ 4.6% Cu, 7g/t Ag from 584m and also 16m @ 2.02% Cu, 3g/t Ag from 622m in WLDD040

WLLDD040 intersected the widest copper mineralised interval to date at Wirlong including multiple highgrade copper mineralised intervals as shown above. WLDD040 tested the south-eastern margin of the Wirlong mineral system and is viewed as an extensional drillhole. A recent structural review has highlighted the potential for mineralisation to continue along strike to the south-east of WLDD040. Peel is planning further drilling to test this position.

Mineralisation returned from resource definition drilling appears generally consistent with Peel’s geophysical and geological modelling. Maiden resource estimate modelling is now underway and is anticipated in the next quarter. Processing and assaying are continuing with further results anticipated in the coming weeks. Drill results to date highlight the open nature of this growing copper mineral system.

Next Steps

Drilling will continue during the December quarter in order to establish a maiden resource at the deposit as well as to test the east/southeast extension of the mineralisation. Further metallurgical testwork, as well as ore sorting trials, are planned along with resource modelling and estimation. This work will form the basis of a scoping study on the deposit.

SOUTHERN NIGHTS - ZINC, LEAD, SILVER, COPPER, GOLD; WESTERN NSW.

The Southern Nights deposit is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar or ~30km northwest of Mount Hope and is host to the polymetallic VMS-type deposit. Mineralisation straddles a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite with local silicification) and occurs as sub-vertical elongate shoots/lenses. Drilling by Peel to date has focused on defining the geometry and extent of large-scale Zn-rich mineralisation at Southern Nights.

Drilling at Southern Nights South completed in the June quarter of 2021 was primarily designed as a stepout program to systematically test the prospective sediment-volcanic horizon for southern extensions to the high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation discovered in late 2019. Assay results returned during this quarter confirmed that mineralisation remains open to the south, with better results including:

  • 1.2m @ 8.14% Zn, 3.58% Pb, 36g/t Ag from 276m and 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 in WTRCDD248

  • 2m @ 1.34% Zn, 0.43% Pb, 7g/t Ag from 302m and 1.8m @ 1.56% Zn from 297m in WTDD002

The massive sulphide mineralisation returned in WTRCDD248 occurs ~120m south of the current resource model, continuing the southern trend outside of the current mineral resource for Southern Nights.

Next Steps

Further infill and extensional drilling at Southern Nights is planned for2022. Detailed metallurgical testwork, focused on improved metal selectivity and recoveries, remains ongoing at the time of reporting.

WAGGA TANK REGIONAL

The Wagga Tank tenement (EL6695) is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar and ~30km northwest of Mount Hope and is host to the Southern Nights and Wagga Tank deposits, as well as Fenceline, Siegals and May Day Tails prospects.

Infill and extensional IP surveying began in mid-June and was completed in early August with delays caused by wet weather conditions impacting site access. A significant chargeable anomaly was identified coincident with the location of a growth fault identified during regional mapping directly south-east of Wagga Tank. The structure is hypothesized as being the major feeder structure that forms the volcanic centre at Wagga Tank and Southern Nights with the same structure possibly controlling mineralization at Wagga Tank and The Link Zone.

Next Steps

A review of the results to identify any significant anomalies for follow-up surface geochemistry and/or drilling. Planning for systematic step out drilling at Southern Nights South will continue with the aim of extending the known mineralisation to the south. In addition to step out drilling, a significant IP anomaly at the west of Southern Nights South also remains to be drill tested.

CORPORATE

Mount Walton JV

Formal joint venture documentation was completed and signed for the Mount Walton JV during the quarter. The Mount Walton JV is a 20/80 joint venture arrangement over the Mount Walton (EL8414) and Michelago (EL8414) tenements with Haverford Holdings Pty Ltd (Manager), a fully owned subsidiary of Talisman Mining Limited. Following the signing of the JV documentation, Haverford took steps to take up their interest in the tenements which was finalised post quarter end.

If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?

Answer: No. Cash outflows were high during the quarter due to resource drill-out activities
requiring multiple drill rigs at multiple sites. This is expected to slow over the coming
quarter as this work approaches completion.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: The Company believes it has sufficient funding and liquid assets to achieve the
programs of work outlined for this financial year. However, the Company realises it
will require additional funding as it moves its South Cobar Project towards
development.
