Spin-Out and IPO

A new Australian gold explorer in a multi million ounce gold province ASX:STN

Ian Bamborough Managing Director January 2018

www.saturnmetals.com.au

Investment Highlights

  • Saturn Metals Limited ("Saturn Metals" or the "Company") is a spin-out of Peel Mining Limited's (ASX:PEX) 100% owned Apollo Hill Gold Project ("Apollo Hill") located in Western Australia.
  • Premium land position in a multi million ounce gold province Apollo Hill is located 50km south-east of Leonora in Western Australia within close proximity to existing mine infrastructure.
  • 12012 JORC compliant inferred resource of 17.2Mt at 0.9g/t for 505,000 ounces of gold using a 0.5g/t cut-off to a maximum depth of 180m*. Potential exists to materially upgrade the resource in the near and medium terms with planned exploration.
  • Saturn Metals is seeking to raise a minimum of $4.5 million (and up to $7 million) of new equity capital at 20c per share pursuant to the IPO.
  • Compelling pre-money valuation of $4.0m with a market capitalisation of $8.5m-$11.0m at listing.

    • grow existing Apollo Hill resources base by targeting along strike potential; hits along strike from the Resource including 5m @ 25.9 g/t Au 1
    • aim to increase average grade of existing resource base through the targeting of newly identified high grade plunging shoots; intersections including 5.3m @ 10.3g/t Au 1
    • test regional targets including Bobs Bore (intersections including 9m @ 10.9g/t Au) and Yerilla (intersections including 17m @ 6.04g/t Au) 1

Apollo Hill Gold Project

  • Excellent location 50km south-east of Leonora in Western Australia in world class multi million ounce gold province close to existing gold infrastructure
  • 100% ownership of more than 1,000km2 of contiguous ground
  • Existing 2012 JORC compliant inferred resource of 17.2Mt at 0.9g/t for 505,000 ounces of high grade vein gold opportunities within resource area (refer to the Prospectus and IGR for full report and JORC Table 1)
  • Underexplored large scale district gold play
  • Key Gold Fertile Structures including the Keith Kilkenny Lineament
  • Early production study opportunities with metallurgy suggesting a simple flow sheet (potential for dig, truck and toll)
  • Underexplored ground due to a varied ground holding and commodity cycles

WA

Apollo Hill

A major gold system poised for rapid growth

  • IPO funds will used to rapidly test for additional ounces and new higher grade ounces
  • Expansive gold mineralised system at 40m-70m wide Drilling to Only 200m deep More than 1.2kms long
  • The system remains open in all directions
  • Favourable proportion of mineralised to non mineralised material in evident in this view

Apollo Hill – Resource Picture (0.5Moz)

• JORC (2012) compliant inferred resource of 17.2Mt at 0.9g/t for 505,000 ounces of gold using a 0.5g/t cut-off with a maximum depth of 180m1

Apollo Hill – Potential for Resource Upgrade

Potential for rapid growth

  • Extensional drilling has yielded extremely exciting results:
    • 5m @ 26g/t Au 600m step out northerly strike extension
  • Only shallow sparse historic RAB AC Drilling
  • Further drilling through cover required
  • RC drilling now required
  • Potential for rapid growth

Apollo Hill - Potential for Resource Upgrade

Next steps:

  • Infill/extensional drill programs
  • Targeting a material resource upgrade to the current >505koz

Stacked, High-Grade Gold Lodes – A New Theory

Requires high priority drill testing

  • Drilling could see upgrade to the grade profile with opportunities for narrower vein, high-grade gold
  • A stacked system of gold bearing structures is interpreted to dissect the Apollo and Ra gold system from North to South
  • 'Text book' geological structures known as 'Riedel' shears with plunging gold shoots evident
  • Historical wide spaced drilling undertaken within the Apollo Hill deposit has not yet assessed this exciting new opportunity
  • Focused infill drilling at optimum orientation is planned

Stacked, High-Grade Gold Lodes – A New Theory

Proof of concept could see an increase to the overall grade of the Mineral Inventory

Apollo Hill - Simple Metallurgy

Metallurgical test work has shown excellent gold extraction characteristics for easily recoverable gold

Conventional

  • More than 60% recovery by gravity separation alone
  • Greater than 92% gold recovery via conventional gravity/cyanidation combination (at only 300 µm grind)

Leaching

  • In column leach tests (representative of Heap Leaching)
  • Coarse grind size gold recovery was highly encouraging with high permeability and low agglomeration requirements
Grind Size Au Recovery Recoveryafter twoweeks
-8mm 77% 67%
-4mm 69% 54%

Apollo Hill

Early production study

  • Higher-grade oxide/transitional open pit potential
  • At a 1.2g/t Au cut -off, approximately 2.4Mt of material at 1.6g/t Au for 126Koz of gold is available within the 2012 JORC Inferred Resource estimate
  • This material is localised in a limited numnber of distinct geographical areas within the top 50 -60m of both the Ra and Apollo Hill deposits
  • This shallow higher -grade component could offer exciting potential for start -up options and nearer term production scenarios
  • A favourable proportion of mineralised to non mineralised material is evident in this cross section
  • Further modelling and studies are planned and required on this concept
  • Studies will also consider truck and toll treatment options through existing mills in the district

Key Strategic Location

First class neighbours

  • Central position in Eastern Goldfields
  • Surrounded by gold majors and successful mid-tier gold producers
  • Multiple regional targets in addition to the Apollo Hill resource area: Bobs Bore, Yerilla, 40G area
  • Ground encompasses much of the gold fertile and highly prospective and sought after Keith Kilkenny Lineament
