CORPORATE

CAPITAL RAISING

In March, Peel announced plans to undertake a capital raising via a placement and 1 for 8 entitlement offer to fund drilling and studies to reach a development decision for its copper-focused South Cobar Project. The placement component completed in the quarter saw 70,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.265 per Share ("Placement") raise $18.55 million (before costs). The pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of one Share for every eight Shares held by eligible shareholders on the record date, closed post quarter end and raised a further $1.71M through the issue of 6,453,943 fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.265 per Share. The Entitlement Offer was not underwritten and accordingly the Company will reserve the right to place Shortfall Shares from the offer up until 15th June 2021.

The Company intends to use the funds rasied on the following activities: resource drilling and estimation at Wirlong, Mallee Bull and Southern Nights to primarily indicated classification; scoping and prefeasibility study activities on the copper-focused South Cobar Project; and for ongoing working capital.

SALE OF NON-CORE ASSETS

During the quarter, the company's 100% owned subsidiary, Peel Far West Pty Ltd ("PFW") entered into a binding sale agreement to sell its non-core Koonenberry Project exploration licences to Odin Metals Limited (ASX:ODM) ("Odin"). The Koonenberry Project exploration licences (EL8721, EL8722, EL8790, EL8791 and EL8909) are located East of Broken Hill, NSW and cover the under-explored Koonenberry Belt.

The consideration payable by Odin Metals Limited to PFW (or its nominee) to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the Licences was:

  • the issue of 50,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Odin, subject to Odin first obtaining shareholder approval for the issue under Listing Rule 7.1, which has now been granted; and
  • a 1% net smelter return royalty, payable quarterly from the date on which saleable mineral or metallic product is first produced from the Licences.

Completion of the Proposed Sale is awaiting approval under Section 121 of the Mining Act 1992 (NSW) for PFW to transfer the Licences to ODM prior to the consideration shares being issue. This is expected in the upcoming quarter. The Consideration Shares will be escrowed for 12 months from the date that Odin obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

PRE-DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

SOUTH COBAR PROJECT HUB & SPOKE STRATEGY

Peel's Cobar assets now referred to as the South Cobar Project (SCP) - include the Mallee Bull, May Day, Wirlong, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank deposits. The company is now focused on a Hub and Spoke development strategy for the project, which is centred on establishing critical mass via high quality mineral resource definition at each of Peel's deposits to support a new centrally located processing plant.

Figure 1 - Hub and Spoke Development Model

In September quarter 2020, Peel commissioned GR Engineering Services (GRES) to complete a technical report regarding a conceptual processing plant as part of the "Hub and Spoke" model, with the mill envisaged to be centrally located amongst Peels' projects. Initially GRES completed a preliminary process plant technical report for the conventional flowsheet that considers crushing, grinding, gravity, flotation and cyanidation process stages for the recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc relevant to the various mineralisation styles within Peel's deposits. Moreover, positive results from ore-sorting at Southern Nights and Mallee Bull deposits provided encouragement for the inclusion of this pre-concentration technology in the future process plant design; hence Peel engaged GRES to integrate ore-sorting technology into an updated processing plant technical report.

Figure 2 - South Cobar Project Technical Report Baseline Flowsheet

During the quarter, GRES completed an updated processing plant technical report that includes ore-sorting technology. An alternative flowsheet incorporating ore sorting considers two stage crush, ore sort preconcentration, grind, gravity, flotation and cyanidation of the flotation tailing. The ore sorting testwork has been completed by two vendors – Steinert tested a sample from the Southern Nights deposits and Tomra tested three samples from the Mallee Bull deposit (massive sulfide, breccia, and low grade breccia). The Steinert test, completed on the Southern Nights materials, tested ore sorted material of the -60mm +31.5mm 'coarse' stream and -31.5mm +10mm 'fine' stream to reject waste. The Tomra tests, using the three Mallee Bull samples were completed using different size fractions; +19mm and -19mm +8mm. The detailed report will form the basis for future feasibility studies.

HIGH-LEVEL MINING EVALUATION OF MAY DAY

MPR Geological Consultants Pty Ltd (MPR) estimated resources for the May Day deposit based on drilling information, NSR and mining and processing parameters supplied by Peel. In addition to constructing a resource model with estimates for gold, silver, lead and zinc, MPR also generated an optimal pit to give estimates with reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction by open pit mining. Estimates with potential for extraction by underground mining are reported within optimal stope shapes produced by Antica Consulting trimmed by the optimal pit constraining open pit resources.

All model blocks within the optimal pit and optimal stope shapes constraining resources are classified as Indicated, reflecting the consistently close spaced drilling in these areas. Further design and planning work of the open pit and underground mine designs will be included in future concept studies.

Next Steps

Peel has engaged a drilling contractor to drill water monitoring bores at the Mallee Bull, May Day, Wirlong and Wagga Tank-Southern Nights deposits. The information collected along with dust monitoring and flora and fauna studies form part of the Company's pre-development environmental baseline studies.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

WIRLONG - COPPER, SILVER; WESTERN NSW (PEX 100%).

Wirlong is located ~75km south of Cobar or about 40km north of May Day. Wirlong represents a classic Cobar-style Cu-Ag deposit analogous to the CSA mine. The prospect is pre-resource, 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 consists of ~15,000m of drilling and is anticipated to be completed in the June quarter 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.

Drilling was initially planned to be completed utilising primarily RC drilling, however significant drillhole deviation since commencement has seen the Company shift to diamond drilling to increase drill targeting effectiveness. Diamond drilling will also provide further structural knowledge, geotechnical information and metallurgical testwork material.

Sixteen (16) RC drillholes were completed during the quarter (WLRC072-WLRC088) for a total of 4380.5m as well as 11 diamond drillholes for a total of 4019.7m. An additional 3 diamond drillholes were completed post quarter end with diamond drilling ongoing at the time of reporting. Assay results have been returned for the entire RC drilling program and for four diamond drillholes (WLDD006-WLDD009).

Highlights from RC and diamond assays returned and released to the market so far include:

  • 9m @ 4.33% Cu, 14g/t Ag, 0.34g/t Au from 181m within 51m @ 1.35% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 177m in WLRC068

  • 3.61m @ 3.12% Cu, 25g/t Ag from 165m; and 3m @ 0.67% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 213m; and 5m @ 2.84% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 291m; and 4m @ 1.67% Cu, 6g/t Ag from 340m within 11m @ 0.88% Cu, 5g/t Ag from 333m in WLDD006
  • 4m @ 1.70% Cu, 6g/t Ag from 255m in WLDD007
  • 10m @ 2.09% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 193m in WLDD008

Recently returned assays results confirm significant copper mineralisation in multiple drillholes, including broad mineralised zones (with higher-grade internal zones) and narrower mineralised zones including highgrade mineralisation. Significantly, mineralisation is consistent with the position of an electromagnetic

conductor plate, and also with a revised structural model, further supporting Peel's geophysical and geological modelling.

Next Steps

Drilling will continue during the quarter in order to establish a maiden resource at the deposit. Preliminary 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.

MAY DAY - GOLD, SILVER, ZINC, LEAD, COPPER; WESTERN NSW (PEX 100%)

The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the May Day deposit was updated during the quarter in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) and was reported within an optimal pit shell, and optimised stope shapes generated at appropriate relevant NSR cut-offs. Drilling in the May Day area comprises 169 open-hole percussion holes, 106 RC holes and 21 diamond holes for a combined 23,947m of drilling completed by Peel and previous property owners. The modeling dataset includes only RC and diamond drilling. The mineralised domain estimation dataset is dominated by composites from Peel's RC and diamond sampling which contribute 69% and 16% of the remnant data respectively. Full details of the resource can be found in the announcement released 31st March 2021 – "May Day Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate". Table 1 presents the estimates by oxidation zone.

Table 1 – March 2021 May Day Indicated Mineral Resource Estimates

The figures in this table are rounded to reflect the precision of the estimates and include rounding errors.

The Indicated MRE for the May Day deposit is 1.07 Mt at 1.02 g/t Au, 26.3 g/t Ag, 0.74% Zn, 0.50% Pb containing 35,100 oz gold; 903,000 oz silver; 7,950 t zinc and 5,330 t lead.

The May Day MRE was reported using an NSR cut-off value to determine the proportion of the deposit having reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The NSR methodology is common practice at polymetallic mines and deposits and considers metallurgical recoveries for each of the product streams, along with metal prices, exchange rates, payabilities, deductions/penalties, transport, treatment/refining charges, and royalties.

The general formula for calculating the NSR is:

NSR = (metal grades x expected metallurgical recoveries x expected payabilities x metal prices) – (deductions/penalties + transport + treatment/refining charges + royalties)

Overall metal recoveries included in the NSR calculation are based on results of metallurgical test work on samples of May Day mineralisation, which were as follows: oxide mineralisation: - gold 90%, silver 20%; fresh mineralisation: - gold 80%, silver 60%, zinc 60%, and lead 50%. The NSR calculation also included estimates of metal payabilities and other offsite costs for the oxide and sulphide processing streams based on Peel's interpretation of potential processing routes.

Metallurgical testwork by Peel at ALS Burnie and NAGROM Perth, along with testwork completed by previous explorers, has guided the company's metallurgical assumptions for the May Day Mineral Resource Estimate. Work by Peel to date has been limited in nature with investigation of gravity precious metals recovery, cyanide leach and base metal flotation.

The gold equivalent parameters and pit and stope shape optimisations underlying the MRE reflect a conceptual sequential processing flowsheet for the project comprising the following:

  • Oxide mineralisation gravity concentration and CIL extraction of gold and silver
  • Fresh mineralisation gravity concentration; bulk base metal float; and cyanide leach

Cumulative metallurgical recoveries for the metals of interest are listed in Table 2. Metallurgical testwork at ALS Burnie is ongoing and the conceptual processing flowsheet is subject to change in the future.

It is Peel Mining's opinion that all elements included in the conceptual processing flowsheet have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

Table 2 – Metallurgical recovery assumptions used in MRE

May Day mineralisation is shear-hosted/related with primary sulphides comprising pyrite-sphaleritegalena-chalcopyrite. Assays received to date show strong, continuous, and wide gold-polymetallic intercepts, confirming substantial true width (~25m) at relatively shallow depths. A high-grade core proximal to the hanging wall is evident with an approximate true thickness of up to ~12m. Results received this quarter compliment previously received assays which also confirmed good down-dip continuity (minimum 180m down dip continuity from the base of the pit) of the May Day mineral system.

During the quarter finalised assay results have been returned for the remaining holes with some of the highlights returned and released to the market including:

  • 8.1m @ 1.24g/t Au, 34g/t Ag, 0.74% Zn, 1.84% Pb, 1.07% Cu from 21m and 7.9m @ 2.09g/t Au, 31g/t Ag, 0.88% Zn, 0.33% Pb, 0.09% Cu from 40.1m in MDDD004
  • 23m @ 1.83g/t Au, 78g/t Ag, 2.23% Zn, 1.36% Pb, 0.34% Cu from 21m in MDDD005
  • 11m @ 1.70g/t Au, 62g/t Ag, 3.60% Zn, 2.63% Pb, 0.84% Cu from 42m and 9.3m @ 3.35g/t Au, 46g/t Ag, 2.22% Zn, 2.16% Pb, 0.15% Cu from 61m in MDDD006

Significantly, strong mineralisation remains open down dip of the deepest drillholes on a number of sections, including MDDD002 and MDRC052, presenting a future exploration target.

Next Steps

Further metallurgical test work is being conducted to maximise recoveries. The Company also plans to drill metallurgical and geotechnical drillholes for use in further ore sorting testwork and open pit design on the project. As noted above, the Company is currently undertaking scoping study work on the deposit to include in its South Cobar Project Concept Study.

Figure 7 May Day pit optimisation long section

SOUTHERN NIGHTS - ZINC, LEAD, SILVER, COPPER, GOLD; WESTERN NSW (PEX 100%).

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 occur 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.

During the quarter final assay results were returned for extensional drilling completed at Southern Nights in the second half of 2020. The drillholes were designed to intercept downdip or along strike from the current resource model making use of previously completed RC pre-collars. Several drillholes returned substantial intercepts outside of the current resource model including high-grade precious metal mineralisation. Of relevance, drillhole WTRCDD234 was extended to test downdip of a previous high-grade gold intercept returned in WTRCDD161 of 2m @ 23g/t Au, 2.74% Cu, 36g/t Ag, 0.5% Zn, 0.14% Pb from 330m. As noted below, WTRCDD234 intersected a significant gold intercept ~50m immediately down dip of the intercept in WTRCDD161. This area remains open along strike and down dip.

Significant assay results released to the market include:

  • 2m @ 3.65g/t Au, 654g/t Ag, 2.89% Zn, 1.52% Pb, 0.02% Cu from 363.6m in WTRCDD181
  • 3.5m @ 2.49% Cu, 0.86g/t Au, 6.03% Zn, 0.90% Pb, 22g/t Ag from 446m and 2.7m @ 2.71% Cu, 1.80g/t Au, 0.70% Zn, 0.57% Pb, 73g/t Ag from 465.4m in WTRCDD194
  • 5.5m @ 6.62% Zn, 2.26% Pb, 216g/t Ag, 0.51% Cu, 0.3g/t Au from 436.6m in WTRCDD195
  • 2.0m @ 10.45g/t Au, 0.42% Cu from 380m in WTRCDD234

Other results of note from this program were listed in the December 2020 quarterly and included significant massive sulphide Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Au:

  • 4.6m @ 12.48% Zn, 4.22% Pb, 58g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu, 0.25g/t Au from 273.45m in WTRCDD243
  • 8m @ 6.30% Zn, 2.74% Pb, 63 g/t Ag, 0.93% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au from 276m in WTRCDD244

Extensional drilling re-commenced at the end of the quarter as part of a NSW Government funded New Frontiers Coopperative Drilling program to follow up previously returned results. Two drillholes were completed post quarter end testing the southern extensions to the system with one hole failing to reach target. Assays are pending for hole WTDD002 at the time of reporting.

Next Steps

Further infill and extensional drilling at Southern Nights has been planned. Detailed metallurgical testwork focused on improved metal selectivity and recoveries, as well as ore sorting with trials remain ongoing at the time of reporting. An IP survey is planned to commence in the June quarter.

WAGGA TANK - ZINC, LEAD, SILVER, COPPER, GOLD; WESTERN NSW (PEX 100%).

The Wagga Tank deposit is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar or ~30km northwest of Mount Hope situated 800m north of Southern Nights 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 occur as sub-vertical elongate shoots/lenses. Drilling by Peel to date has focused on defining the geometry and extent of the Zn-Pb-Ag-Au-Cu rich mineralisation at Wagga Tank.

Next Steps

Planning of resource definition drilling targeting a shallow oxide gold target at Wagga Tank has commenced and is subject to regulatory approvals and access negotiations. Metallurgical testwork will continue in the coming quarter, as part of a scoping study on this project.

MALLEE BULL - COPPER, SILVER, GOLD, LEAD, ZINC; WESTERN NSW (PEX 100%)

The Mallee Bull deposit is a Cobar-style copper dominant polymetallic deposit located 100km south of Cobar, NSW. The Company plans to undertake infill resource drilling in an effort to define a predominantly Indicated classified resource. 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. Currently, the Mallee Bull deposit has a JORC compliant Mineral Resource of 6.76 million tonnes at 1.8% copper, 31 g/t silver, 0.4 g/t gold, 0.6% lead and 0.6% zinc (2.6% copper equivalent) containing approximately 175,000t copper equivalent (using a 1% copper equivalent cut-off).

Next Steps

Resource infill and definition drilling is planned to commence imminently at Mallee Bull. The drilling program, which is anticipated to comprise ~20,000m of diamond drilling, is designed to establish a predominantly Indicated Resource classification. The drilling is anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2021.

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.
