ASX Announcement

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Polymetals has now received the first batch of assay results from its Alahiné Phase 2 drilling program which included partial results from hole AH21ARC057. Assays received represent 27% of samples submitted for analysis.

The Phase 2 drilling program was designed to test the prolific artisanal gold workings, areas enclosed by 40 ppb Au-in-soil contour and new priority targets recently identified by the Polymetals exploration team.

The next batch of assays are expected mid-September. The balance of samples from the Phase 2 drilling will be delivered to the SGS laboratory in Bamako, Mali this week with results expected late-September.

The Phase 2 results will allow Polymetals to plan further drilling at Alahiné aiming to extend the oxide mineralisation in addition to testing new targets.

Extensive artisanal workings on an interpreted north-northeast trend over a 7km length has provided walk up drill targets, and results such as those from Line 4 confirm that up to 160m wide auriferous quartz vein zones are the ‘backbone’ of these workings.

Plan and cross-sectional views of the reported holes are provided in Figures 1-3.

Detailed results of significant intercepts can be found in Table 1.

Polymetals Supervising Geologist, Clive Hastings said,

“We are very encouraged by the preliminary results received from the Alahiné Phase 2 program, particularly the high-grade results from relatively shallow holes and eagerly await further assay results. The new results from the Phase 2 program provides Polymetals with clear follow-up targets for the upcoming field season, anticipated to commence in November.

Based on Polymetals’ preliminary exploration results at the Alahiné Gold Project, it is apparent that the project demonstrates a number of similarities with our neighbours, AngloGold Ashanti, in terms of geology and mineralisation styles and we look forward to the next phase of drilling to test the fresh rock potential beneath the north-south zones.”

APPENDIX 1 – JORC Code (2012 Edition), Assessment and Reporting Criteria

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips,
or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not
be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30
g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
The sampling referred to in this release
refers to Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling
and Air Core (AC) drilling.
Samples were all collected by qualified
geologists
or
under
geological
supervision.
A total of 4 RC holes totalling 480m and
94 AC Holes totalling 6,840m are detailed
in the accompanying announcement.
Representative samples of the material
drilled will be collected for every metre
drilled directly from the rig cyclone.
Each 1 metre sample will be weighed
prior to splitting, to provide a record of
sample recovery.
Samples for assay will be riffle-split from
each 1 metre interval. Weight of such
samples will be 2-3kg.
The samples are considered to be
representative of the rock being drilled
The nature and quality of the of sampling
is carried out in conformity with industry
standard QAQC procedures.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
_oriented and if so, by what method, etc). _
The sampling referred to in this release
refers to RC drilling and AC drilling. The
contractor is Target Drilling Limited.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Representative samples of the material
drilled will be collected for every metre
drilled.
Each 1 metre sample will be weighed
prior to splitting, to provide a record of
sample recovery.
Drilling method was selected so as to
maximise sample recovery.
Assay values for each sample batch will
be compared with sample weights, and a
correlation coefficient will be calculated.
A representative is always present at the
rig to monitor and record recovery. There
are no significant sample recovery
problems.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
Drill chips are logged for lithology,
mineralogy, mineralization, weathering,
alteration, colour and any other relevant
characteristics. Geological logging
conforms to the standardized system

techniques
and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all
core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc
and whether sampled wet or dry.

For
all
sample
types,
the
nature,
quality
and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Measures
taken
to
ensure
that
the
sampling
is
representative of the in situ material collected, including for
instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
Both RC and AC cuttings when dry, were
sampled by riffle splitting. For wet
samples, the cuttings are dried as much
as is practicable on site, then coned and
quartered to produce a suitable weight
for assay.
Samples will be transported to SGS
Laboratories in Bamako, Mali. There,
they will be dried, crushed to a nominal
2mm using a Boyd Crusher, then <0.1 kg
is split using a rotary splitter. Reject
samples is retained in the original bad
and stored. The split is pulverized in a
LM2 to a nominal 85% passing 75
microns.
Approximately
200g
sub-
sample is taken for assay, with the
pulverised residue retained in a plastic
bag. All the preparation equipment is
flushed with barren material prior to the
commencement of the job. The milling
process will thoroughly homogenize the
sample to allow a 50g sub-sample to be
collected manually for fire assay for gold.
Duplicate samples are collected for assay
at 50 metre intervals.
The sample size far exceeds the “million
grain rule” and as such is appropriate in
this instance.
Quality of assay
data
and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
The technique selected is a fusion
technique
which
breaks
down
the
mineral
content
of
the
sample
completely. The PbO flux is reduced to
Pb metal during the fusion process, and
precious metals are accumulated within
the resultant Pb prill. Dissolution of the
prill, and measurement of the Au
abundance in the resultant solution
provides a precise and accurate measure
of the total Au abundance in the sample.
Standard
reference
materials
and
duplicates are included in the analytical
stream by both the company and the
laboratory.
Comparison of the measured value of
the standard and the accepted value
provides a clear measure of laboratory
performance.
Analysis
of
duplicates
provides
a
measure
of
repeatability,
but
this
approach is less reliable when coarse
gold ispresent in the samples.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
All drilling results are scrutinized by
senior management of the company.
Significant intercepts will be checked by
re-assay.
The use of twinned holes is not relevant
in this instance.
All drilling data is accumulated initially in
spreadsheets, and ultimately transferred
to a master database for archiving.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Drill collars are initially located on the
ground using handheld GPS receivers.
Accuracy expected is ±5m.
Geological mapping of trenches, mine
workings and other locations is done at
and accuracy of ±5m.
DGPS pick up of all drill collars will be
carried out on completion of individual
drilling programs to locate drill holes to
±1m or better accuracy.
In the current project, the relevant grid
system is UTM WGS84 Zone 29 Northern
Hemisphere.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
At this early stage in the exploration of
the tenement, spacing of drill holes along
traverses of 50m is considered
appropriate.
Spacing of drill traverses is relatively wide
at 250m and 500m, but is designed to
examine individual Au-anomalous areas
rather than measure mineral resources.
No
sample
compositing
has
been
applied.
Orientation
of
data in relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
Orientation of drill traverses at this early
stage of exploration is considered
satisfactory. When the structural controls
on mineralization becomes clear, hole
orientations may be changed.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Drill samples are returned to the
Company compound in Alahiné Village
every evening.
One security guard is on duty at the
compound at all times.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
There has been no external audit or
review of the Company’s techniques or
data for Phase 2.
Review of sampling techniques used in
Phase 1 drilling by the Company’s
independent
Geologist
found
the
sampling procedures to be satisfactory.

Exploration done by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
The details of previous exploration
and results were summarised as
Annexure B – Independent
Geologist’s Report, pages 106-293 –
in the Polymetals Prospectus and
can be found on the website;
https://www.polymetals.com/
site/Operations/reports.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
Primary target is Birimian/Siguiri-
style regolith-hosted oxide gold
mineralisation.
Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill
hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception
depth
o
hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
See Table 1 and Table 2.
Appropriate locality maps for some
of the holes also accompanies this
announcement.
Further information in regards to
Phase 1 scout RC drilling (21 holes)
and the details and results are
summarised in the Annexure B –
Independent Geologist’s Report,
pages 106-293 – in the Polymetals
Prospectus and can be found on the
website,
https://www.polymetals.com/
site/Operations/reports.
Data aggregation methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
RC and AC drill sampling was in one
metre intervals.
For the 0.25g/t Au cut-off
calculations, up to 3m (down hole) of
internal waste.

incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No weighting or high-grade cutting
technique have been applied to the
data reported.
Assay results are generally quoted
rounded to 2 decimal places.
Relationship between mineralisation
widths and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
_known’). _
Clear statement provided within
accompanying report.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
Included in the Prospectus -
Annexure B: Independent Geologist’s
Report, pages 106-293.
Appropriate maps and cross
sections are included within this
report.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced avoiding misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
The accompanying document is
considered to represent a balance
report.
Other substantive exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
There is no other exploration data
which is considered material to the
results reported in the
announcement.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
Alahiné Phase 3 drill program will be
planned upon receipt and analysis of
the remaining assay results.
