Phil’s Hill Drilling Commenced

The Company’s principal business objectives are the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of PGE, copper, nickel silver, gold, vanadium and other mineral deposits.

Directors

Peter Wall (Chairman) Mark Freeman (MD) Bob Affleck (Technical Director)

Company Secretary Mark Freeman

Pursuit Minerals Limited (ASX:PUR) (“Pursuit” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that the maiden diamond drilling program has commenced at Phil’s Hill.

The first hole is targeting MLEM plate 20a. This hole is expected to drill to a total depth of 200m and estimated to take 7 days to drill. The drilling program is anticipated to take around 8 weeks to complete.

The Company has purchased a pXRF unit and will expediate the assaying in Perth of compelling mineralised core to the extent it is identified. Pursuit confirms it has engaged independent consultants, CSA Global Pty Ltd, to establish a consistent geochemical protocol for Pursuit field crews to follow whilst collecting pXRF data on drill core.

Warrior Project (100%)

Pursuit Minerals Ltd (“ Pursuit ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX:PUR) is pleased to confirm that drilling has commenced at Phil’s Hill 1,500m diamond drilling program. The first hole is targeting MLEM plate 20a. The hole is expected to drill to a total depth of 200m and estimated to take 7 days to drill. The drilling program is anticipated to take around 8 weeks to complete.

The Company has purchased a pXRF unit and will expediate the assaying in Perth of compelling mineralised core to the extent it is identified. Pursuit confirms it has engaged independent consultants, CSA Global Pty Ltd, to establish a consistent geochemical protocol for Pursuit field crews to follow whilst collecting pXRF data. It is anticipated that a consistent approach will allow collection of semi-quantitative results as allowable under JORC code.

Following completion of the holes, the Company will follow-up with downhole EM surveys. The use of downhole EM surveys is used extensively across the industry and in particular by other PGE-Ni-Cu explorers in the region. It allows the Company to more accurately model conductors in a 3D environment.

In February 2021[1] , 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 (Figure 3). Several

conductive features identified at Phil’s Hill were followed up with moving loop ground EM (“MLEM”) confirming the airborne conductors were discrete basement conductors.

In May 2021[1] , the Company announced that highly conductive features (up to 5,093 S/m) were 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. The June 2021 MLEM extension programme successfully closed off the Phil’s Hill conductive package both north and south confirming the highly conductive anomalies are discrete. Refer to the JORC table 1 statements [1] referenced below.

Subsequently on 20 May 2021[1] , Pursuit received results for the first 238 hand auger soil samples over the Phil’s Hill PGE-Ni-Cu Prospect. The sampling confirmed the presence of anomalous PGE’s, nickel, copper and gold associated with mafic-ultramafic rocks, which are also the host rocks for PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation at Gonneville.

A total of 15 samples showed elevated levels of Au-Pt-Pd combined anomalism with maximum values up to 1,164ppb (1.164g/t) (Au 52 ppb, Pt 777 ppb and Pd 335 ppb) over a strike length greater than 1,100m at Phil’s Hill, which remain open to the north. Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for significant results, with gold anomalism to 81 ppb identified, over a 1,200m strike, which also remains open to the north. Additionally anomalous copper values over 100 ppm and broadly co-incident with elevated gold and PGE’s were also encountered over a 950m strike. Figure 1 also shows anomalous nickel values > 100 ppm and up to 310 ppm over a strike length of 1,100m.

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.
