Pursuit Managing Director, Mark Freeman, said:

“With the Company’s focus on the Warrior Project in WA, the benefit of having three board members situated in Perth is very beneficial. Jeremy has played a significant role in the development of the Company and its assets and I wish him well in his future endeavours and welcome Bob to the Board.”

Pursuit Minerals Limited (ASX:PUR) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Bob Affleck as Technical Director effective 24 June 2021.

Mr Affleck has over 25 years’ experience in the mineral exploration industry from grassroots data collection to consulting roles in a variety of mineral commodities. His expertise includes project management, technical and prospectus reviews, target generation, training and team mentoring.

Bob also has extensive business management expertise outside of the mining industry, in particular financial management and personnel management. He is keen to use his skills to assist mining companies to make high-value discoveries which will add value to their shareholders.

As part of the Board changes, Mr Jeremy Read will step off the board 24 June 2021. The Company is extremely grateful for Jeremy’s contributions and leadership and we wish him well in his future endeavours.

Performance Rights

The Board has resolved to issue 3,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Affleck and a further 3,500,000 Performance Rights to other employees and consultants to the Company under the terms and conditions of the Pursuit Minerals Employee Share Option Plan. The Performance Rights are proposed to be awarded to staff and directors as a component of compensation package partly in lieu of a portion of cash salary in order

Competent Person’s Statement

Statements contained in this announcement relating to exploration results, are based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr. Mathew Perrot, who is a Registered Practicing Geologist Member No 10167 and a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, Member No 2804. Mr. Perrot is a full time employee the Company, as the Company’s Exploration Manager and has sufficient relevant experience in relation to the mineralisation style being reported on to qualify as a Competent Person for reporting exploration results, as defined in the Australian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC) Code 2012. Mr Perrot consents to the use of this information in this announcement in the form and context in which it appears.

Forward looking statements

Statements relating to the estimated or expected future production, operating results, cash flows and costs and financial condition of Pursuit Minerals Limited’s planned work at the Company's projects and the expected results of such work are forward-looking statements. Forwardlooking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, forecasts, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements also include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. Information concerning exploration results and mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed.

These forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable at the time they are made, are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting from logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfil projections/expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company's projects; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests and the estimation of gold reserves and resources; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of environmental issues at the Company's projects; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work programs; the need to obtain permits and comply with environmental laws and regulations and other government requirements; fluctuations in the price of gold and other risks and uncertainties.

About the Warrior Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, Western Australia

The western margin of the Archean Yilgarn Craton is highly prospective for Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”) and Nickel (Ni) – Copper (Cu) sulphide mineralisation associated with intrusive mafic to ultramafic rocks. The discovery of PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation on the Julimar Project held by Chalice Mining Limited (see Chalice Mining ASX Announcement 23 March 2020), is the first significant PGE-Ni-Cu discovery in the region. It is becoming apparent that the prospective mafic-ultramafic intrusions which host Chalice Mining’s PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation are far more widespread than previously thought throughout the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. The area of the Warrior Project remains poorly explored for PGENi-Cu mineralisation due to the lack of outcrop, predominance of farmland and the prior focus of exploration companies on bauxite and iron. Pursuit secured the Warrior Project in December 2020.

In February 2021, Pursuit flew a detailed airborne EM survey over the Calingiri East, Calingiri West, Wubin and Wubin South exploration licences on the Warrior PGE-Nickel-Copper Project. Several conductive features identified at Phil’s Hill were followed up with moving loop ground EM (“MLEM”) during March and April and confirmed that the airborne conductors are discrete basement conductors.

In May 2021, the Company announced that highly conductive features (up to 5,093 S/m) are now evident on 9 lines of MLEM data over a strike length of ~1,600 m. The modelled depth to top of the conductors is ~100 m and coincident with the edge of an interpreted ultramafic sequence. The conductance of the Phil’s Hill Prospect is significant and well within the known range of conductance for the Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu discovery. Based on the EM response, Phil’s Hill represents a high-priority drill target. Further MLEM surveys have now refined the interpreted EM plates and have identified 4 discrete EM responses and

increased both the conductivity and strike length. These EM responses have not been closed off to either the south or north by MLEM surveys.

Subsequently on 20 May 2021, Pursuit received results for the first 238 hand auger soil samples over the Phil’s Hill PGE-Ni-Cu Prospect. The sampling has confirmed the presence of anomalous PGE’s, Nickel, Copper and Gold associated with mafic-ultramafic rocks which are the host for the PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation at Julimar.

A total of 15 samples assayed demonstrate elevated levels of Au-Pt-Pd combined anomalism with maximum values of 1,164ppb (1.1g/t) (Au 52 ppb, Pt 777 ppb and Pd 335 ppb) with a strike length greater than 1,100m at Phil’s Hill and remain open to the north. Refer to Figure 4 and Table 3 for significant results with significant gold anomalism up to 81 ppb was identified at Phil’s Hill over a 1,200m strike which remains open to the north. Additionally anomalous copper values greater than 100 ppm and broadly co-incident with gold and PGE’s were also encountered over 950m strike at Phil’s Hill. Anomalous Nickel values > 100 ppm and up to 310 ppm over a strike length of 1,100m was identified at Phil’s Hill and remains open to the north. Similar levels of extensive PGE anomalism in soils are commonly associated with mineralised nickel sulphide systems elsewhere in WA and support the presence of magmatic nickel sulphides at the Warrior Project.

About Platinum Group Elements

The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are a group of six precious metals clustered together on the periodic table: platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru).

PGEs have many desirable properties and as such have a wide variety of applications. Most notably, they are used as auto-catalysts (pollution control devices for vehicles), but are also used in jewellery, electronics as well as in hydrogen production, purification and fuel cells.

Palladium is the most expensive of the four major precious metals – gold, silver and platinum being the others. With an acute supply shortage driving prices to a recent record high of US$2,856/oz in February 2020. The current spot price is approximately US$2,600/oz. Strong demand growth (~11.5Moz in 2019) is being driven by regulations requiring increased use of the metal, particularly as an auto-catalyst in gasoline and gasoline-hybrid vehicles. The total palladium market supply from all sources in 2019 was ~10.8Moz, and >75% is sourced from mines in Russia and South Africa[1] .
