GUINEA EXPLORATION
Polymetals is focussed on exploring two licences within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin which hosts several large active gold mining operations and is notable for its significant and widespread gold anomalism.
The Exploration Licences, known as Alahiné (64.2km[2] ) and Mansala (48.2km[2] ), host prolific historic and current small scale gold production conducted by artisanal miners confirming the extensive gold endowment of the area.

ALAHINÉ AUGER PROGRAM
Work program
Since the commencement of the Alahiné auger drilling on 22 November 2021[1] , Polymetals has drilled a total of 8,619m comprising 751 holes. The Alahiné program was focussed on testing mineralised saprolite beneath areas that display >100ppb gold in soil anomalies.

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
Mineralisation is associated with steeply dipping quartz veins striking approximately 080ºM. The three new NNE trends identified provide justification for further testing and will be prioritised alongside existing targets in the planning of the upcoming Phase 3 drilling program.[2]
Polymetals’ auger drilling program was carried out by Sahara Natural Resources with all assays completed by the SGS laboratory in Bamako, Mali.
A plan view of the reported holes are provided in Figure 2.
Details of all the holes including significant assay results are provided in Table 1.

Figure 2 displays the results received within the period and illustrates the interpreted mineralised trends present within the Alahiné licence. The results will continue to be analysed and mapped in the field to provide a greater understanding of the three interpreted trends.
On 11 February 2022, Polymetals reported of the 604 auger holes drilled to that point, 406 were completed on a 50 x 100m grid to test previously undrilled anomalies. Assays had been received for 276 holes of these holes with 143 auger holes still to be drilled at Alahiné.
Saprolite composite samples (typically 4m) collected beneath the lateritic cover have peak grades of 3.58 g/t Au and 0.93 g/t Au. This provides significant encouragement for bedrock gold potential. The results successfully identified new gold anomalies below the transported cover and highlight the potential for a parallel trend within the SE quadrant of the Alahiné Licence, see Figure 2.

Licence renewal
During the quarter, the Company continued to advance renewal of the Alahiné licence which is expected to be finalised in the current quarter.
NEXT STEPS AT ALAHINÉ
The Company is accelerating the exploration within the Alahiné licence with a suite of geological testing over the coming months.
Airborne Magnetic Survey
Plans were put in place during the quarter to undertake an airborne magnetic survey. This survey is scheduled to commence in April 2022 at both the Alahiné and Mansala Gold Projects. Results will be used to refine existing drill targets in addition to generating new drill targets.
Alahiné Phase 3 RC drill program
A Phase 3 RC drill program at the Alahiné Gold Project is planned to commence during May 2022. The program will focus both on the numerous targets generated at depth during the 7,300m Phase 2 drilling program and the anomalous zones identified by the recent auger program.
DRILLING COMMENCES AT MANSALA GOLD PROJECT
Polymetals advised that a 5,000m auger drilling program commenced at the Company’s Mansala Gold Project during February.
The Mansala auger drilling program comprises 805 holes totalling 5,000m on a 100m x 50m drill pattern over six delineated zones, as illustrated within Figure 3. The objective of the auger program is to test six mineralised Au in soil anomalies and associated pathfinder elements present (As, Ag, Bi, Mo, Sb, W and Te). The significance of these responses is not known but may be indicative of mineralisation at depth. Numerous artisanal workings in this area lend credence to this possibility.[3] The program aims to provide the Company with Air-Core and Reverse Circulation drill targets within the previously undrilled licence, with first results expected May 2022.

Mansala previous field works
Systematic exploration of the Mansala Licence commenced in December 2020 in which an extensive program of reconnaissance soil geochemistry was completed. The previous works and subsequent results of the Mansala soil sampling campaign were reported within the Company’s Initial Public Offering Prospectus, dated 21 April 2021.
The results of the Mansala Soil Sampling have confirmed that in summary, 5.0km[2][2] or 10.4% of the area surveyed reported Au values in excess of 40ppb. Of particular interest are gold abundances which are illustrated in Figure 4 A total of eleven (11) samples returned Au assays in excess of 1,000ppb (1g/t) Au, and include values of 93.98g/t, 6.03g/t, 5.85g/t, 2.91g/t, 2.38g/t and 1.10g/t which are plotted in Figure 4.

STRENGTHENING OF TEAM IN GUINEA
Polymetals made two key appointments in Guinea during the quarter. Mr. William Pountney was appointed Project Manager for the Company’s portfolio of gold exploration assets in Guinea.
Mr Pountney has more than 20 years’ experience in both greenfield and brownfield exploration in West Africa, most recently, as Exploration Manager with Owere Mines Limited at the Konongo Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa. During his three-year tenure as Exploration Manager at the Tri K project in Guinea, Mr Pountney managed the growth of gold resources from 1.80 million ounces (Moz) to 3.22Moz.[4]

ASX Announcement
==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
Polymetals also appointed Mr. Nana Yaw Asante as Lead Exploration Geologist in January. Mr Asante has more than 13 years’ experience in both greenfield and brownfield exploration in West Africa. Most recently, Mr Asante spent four-and-a-half years as Senior Exploration Geologist with Golden Star Resources (NYSE: GSS, TSX: GSC) in Ghana, where he managed multiple drilling programs at the Wassa and HBB projects which increased both the Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources.[5]
In Guinea, both Mr Pountney and Mr Asante had previously worked together on the Tri K Gold Project to the south of Polymetals’ Alahiné and Mansala licences.
The Board views the appointment of the well experienced and credentialled geologists in Mr Asante and Mr Pountney as an excellent step forward for the Company and a solid endorsement of the potential of its Guinea exploration projects.

The Company is currently reviewing and investigating various new business opportunities within the Siguiri Basin in addition to potential opportunities in Australia.
