APPROVAL FOR CARPENTARIA JV ACQUISITION

Renegade Exploration Limited (ASX:RNX) (the Company or Renegade) is pleased to advise it has received indicative approval from the Queensland Department of Resources to the transfer of the Sovereign Metals Limited (Sovereign) (ASX:SVM) interest in the Carpentaria Joint Venture (CJV) to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Renegade Exploration (QLD) Pty Ltd. Renegade's acquisition of Sovereign's interest in the CJV is expected to complete on May 10 2021.

Carpentaria Joint Venture

The CJV is located in north western Queensland and has five exploration permits (EPM) in the portfolio. Mt Isa Mining Limited (MIM), a subsidiary of Glencore plc, entered into the CJV in 2000 and has been the operator since then with several partners, most recently with Sovereign since 2007.

MIM has spent approximately $14.5m on JV exploration activities and has successfully identified copper and gold prospects that remain untested.

Renegade has acquired a 23.03% interest in the CJV as detailed in ASX Release dated 17 December 2020.

One high priority prospect, Mongoose, which was the subject of an ASX announcement released by Sovereign on 25 March 2014 has had limited follow up drilling since 2014. Mongoose presents as an immediate drill ready target subject to agreement with MIM on sole risk terms. The prospect is immediately on strike from the neighbouring Taipan deposit and Paddock Lode Mine.

  • · Immediately adjacent to the Taipan deposit (unmined) and the Paddock Lode Mine (Round Oak)
  • · 2km from Cloncurry townsite with excellent infrastructure
  • · 20 RC holes drilled for 3,612m
  • · Encouraging widths of medium to high grade mineralisation at surface and depth

See also the Company's Investor Presentation released to the ASX on 15 March 2021. Renegade confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that Investor Presentation relating to the Mongoose Prospect.

Prospect Geology and Regional Information

The Mongoose Prospect, Taipan, Paddock Lode mine and Great Australia mine are all located within Toole Creek volcanic and meta-sedimentary units.

The Mongoose Prospect is predominantly dolerite/gabbro/porphyritic basalt, with numerous locations where calc-silicates and quartzites can be found in small (northwest dipping) outcrops in an area of dominantly dolerite/porphyritic basalt. The dolerites/basalts are identified by a strong albite-porphyritic texture. Breccia fragments can be found as float in costeans with clasts of a strongly albite-altered sedimentary rock within a strongly sheared chlorite-actinolite-albite matrix. Hypogene mineralisation appears to be concentrated in multiple structurally controlled, irregularly stacked, parallel tabular lenses within the dolerites.

Mongoose is located ~2km from the Cloncurry townsite and 1.2km west of the Great Australia mine and the associated processing plant which is currently on care and maintenance. Cloncurry is a major mining services centre and is within 38km of the Ernest Henry Mine and plant and 120km of Mt Isa. The Great Australia Mine was discovered in 1865 by Ernest Henry and was mined sporadically until 1919 before reopening in 1995.

CJV Acquisition Details

In consideration for acquiring the Carpentaria JVA interest from Sovereign, Renegade has agreed to make the following payments to Sovereign:

  • Ø On completion of the acquisition, Renegade will pay $100,000 or, at Sovereign's election, issue 15m Renegade shares to Sovereign;
  • Ø On the 12 month anniversary of completion, Renegade will pay a further $100,000 or, at Sovereign's election, issue 10m Renegade shares to Sovereign;
  • Ø On the 24 month anniversary of completion, Renegade will pay $150,000 or, at Sovereign's election, issue 10m Renegade shares to Sovereign.

Any Renegade shares issued to Sovereign pursuant to the acquisition are subject to a 3 month trading restriction, and there is the ability for the parties to agree to any of the above payments being comprised of a combination of cash and Renegade shares.

Next Steps

As set out above, following receipt of indicative approval from the Queensland Department of Resources, completion of the Company's acquisition of Sovereign's interest in the CJV is scheduled to occur on Monday 10 May 2021. Sovereign has elected to receive the first tranche of the purchase price for the acquisition in Renegade shares, such that the Company will issue Sovereign with 15m shares.

Discussion is already underway with MIM regarding potential sole risk options on projects which do not meet MIM's internal requirements.

This announcement has been approved by the Board of Renegade Exploration Limited.
