Managing Director, Duncan Chessell comments

We are encouraged to see seven zones of likely Pogo-style flat lying quartz veining up to 4.6m thick, amongst intensely altered host rock in RC drill chips at the East Pogo Prospect, however assay results will be the real test and are expected shortly.

The 40 conductors defined by a VTEM geophysics survey at the Wollogorang Project in the Northern Territory has done three things; firstly, highlighted the sedimentary hosted copper potential of the project; two, triggered interest from multiple parties; and thirdly illustrates that Resolution holds two potential flagship projects prospective for indemand gold and copper.

Exploration Activities 64North Project, Alaska

Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX: RML , Resolution or Company ) flagship 64North Project is in the Tintina Gold Province, home of giant size gold deposits such as Donlin Creek 39M oz Au, Fort Knox 13M oz gold and the world-class high-grade Pogo Gold Mine with total endowment of 11M oz Au (See Figure 3). The Tintina Province stretches 2,000km across from the Yukon (Canada) to the Alaskan coast, hosting over 100M oz Au (See Figure 6).

Resolution completed drilling on the East Pogo Gold Prospect in late June 2021. The compelling shallow drill targets are the culmination of 20 months’ preparation of field work, desktop review, CSAMT and ZTEM geophysics surveys and logistics planning. East Pogo is on the Pogo Trend positioned between the 11M oz Au Pogo Gold Mine and the Tibbs Discovery (TSXV: TECT). Early in the quarter results from the Sunrise Prospect (West Pogo Block) RAB drilling program demonstrated the Fort Knox style was gold mineralised over a 280m wide corridor open to the north and south.

Prospect pipeline assessment

Prospects adjacent to Sunrise (Tourmaline Ridge) were investigated and field reconnaissance undertaken in June. Re-ranking of the prospect pipeline to prioritise plans for the remainder of the summer field season with small scale rock chipping and reconnaissance was undertaken on the North Pogo and South Pogo Blocks. Planned activities will be finalised for the remainder of the summer season and announced to investors shortly.

Encouraging geological observations of RC drill chips- East Pogo Prospect

The 12 hole, 1662m RC drill program intersected quartz veining in 7 intervals as outlined in the Table below. Encouragingly, intense hydrothermal alteration was present in all holes and the structural setting (flat lying dilation zones) confirms our Pogo-style model for East Pogo.

Intervals range between 1.5m and 4.6m thickness, with minimum sample thickness being 1 drill rod of 5 feet or 1.524 metres in length (see Figure 1 RC chip tray photograph below). Intense pervasive alteration was observed in all holes and minor stringers of sulphides were associated with the quartz veins. Assays pending.

Sunrise Prospect, West Pogo Block

The all-weather road accessible Sunrise Prospect is located 4km from the operating world-class Pogo Gold Mine on Resolutions 64North Project on the “West Pogo Block”. The prospect is adjacent to Northern Star’s Goodpaster Discovery which is undergoing a $21m resource drill-out (ASX: NST).

Other potential Fort Knox style intrusive targets have now been recognised near the Pogo Mine road , proximal to the Sunrise Prospect. Ground appraisal of the Sunrise Prospect and surrounding prospects was conducted in June . Further drilling, trenching and geophysics are under consideration and plans will be finalised and announced to investors shortly.

Background: In 2020 the exploration team observed at the Sunrise Prospect, outcropping granites with quartz veins along Resolution’s access track to the Aurora Prospect. Following up the observation RML completed a 137m long trench on the road cutting to test for Fort Knox style gold mineralisation.

Positive assay results were encountered as the entire 137m of road-cutting trenching samples returned elevated gold, demonstrating a shallow Fort Knox style gold system - Context is important as a 0.1g/t Au cut-off grade is used for the Fort Knox Gold Mine (Kinross 2020 Annual Report). Highlights of RML’s 2020 surface trench sampling: ( See RML ASX announcement 18/1/21 )

  • 93m @ 0.29g/t Au - including 27m @ 0.53g/t Au; max 1m interval of @ 1.89g/t Au

ASX RELEASE

The potential associated with this style of mineralisation model is demonstrated at the Fort Knox gold mine, located at the nearby city of Fairbanks, currently produces 237k oz Au/year from a 2.4M oz Au @ 0.3g/t Au proven & probable mineral reserve (Kinross 2020 annual report)**, and has been one of Alaska’s most profitable mines.

April 2021 RAB Drilling Program

Following up the positive results from the late 2020 trenching program the Company completed a 1400m fence line of 27 shallow RAB drill holes across the Sunrise Prospect in March – April 2021. The host granite intrusion is interpreted to extend more than 1km to the south of the RAB drilling.

The assay results show eight (8) intersections >10m thickness of Fort Knox style mineralisation across a 280m wide corridor, open at depth and open to the north and south. A total of 9 holes were drilled for 483m into this 280m corridor with 353m (73%) of assays reporting above cut-off grade of 0.1g/t Au. The same 0.1 g/t Au cut-off grade is used for the Fort Knox gold mine.

Significantly thick intervals include:

  • Hole: 21SU007

  • 36.6m @ 0.33 g/t Au from surface,

  • including 1.5m @ 1.42 g/t Au from 1.5m; and 1.5m @ 2.60 g/t Au from 9.1m.

  • Hole: 21SU009

  • 74.7m @ 0.26 g/t Au (entire hole) from surface,

  • including 1.5m @ 1.77 g/t Au from 12.2m; and 1.5m @ 1.02 g/t Au from 48.8m.

Australian Wollogorang and Benmara Projects Activities

==> picture [506 x 431] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7 Location map of RML’s Wollogorang and Benmara Projects and significant other parties projects in the region***

Wollogorang Project

Resolution completed a ~2,000 line-kilometre airborne VTEM geophysics survey on the eastern half of the project and identified 40 conductors, 37 untested by drilling (See Figure 8). VTEM surveys can detect sub-surface conductive bodies to 400m such as massive base metal sulfides directly and other potential trap sites for base metals. The underexplored Wollogorang Project is located in the highly prospective McArthur Basin, with surrounding ground held by Teck, BHP, Rio Tinto, Redbank and South 32. Ground verification of all the VTEM targets confirms no interference from human factors. Prioritisation of drilling targets with modelling of VTEM results is underway.

The 40 conductors identified, included multiple late time conductors, have been ranked on the VTEM geophysics characteristics on a scale from 1 (best) to 3 (See Figure 8). Combining the VTEM results (conductors) with a new litho-structural interpretation will allow Resolution to rank the geophysical results

ASX RELEASE

against geological context and logistical considerations and this work is ongoing. It is highly likely further drill targets will be refined from this ongoing interpretation of the VTEM results and the Company intends to update investors once this has been completed over the coming weeks. Drilling is planned for late August on VTEM targets and the Gregjo Prospect to allow for extra track preparation, permitting, subject to rig availability and COVID-19 factors.

Previous exploration has focussed on discrete breccia pipes, which demonstrated the presence of copper and cobalt in the system. However, these breccia pipes were not of sufficient scale to warrant further attention on RML’s tenements at this time. Resolution’s new approach is to use modern geophysics to identify large scale sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation within two McArthur Basin Formations (Wollogorang Formation & Gold Creek Volcanics Formation). Both Formations contain reductive units, which are prospective trap sites for sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation .

Managing Director – Duncan Chessell commented:

Resolution’s geology team has taken a fresh approach to the project using a wide-spaced, powerful VTEM Max geophysical survey, complemented with a new litho-structural interpretation. It’s paid off with these better-than-expected VTEM geophysics results.

The conductors identified could indicate the presence of massive sulfides or the presence of rocks that could be excellent trap sites for base metal mineralisation. Using the new litho-structural interpretation we also aim to identify additional areas prospective for disseminated sulfides, which we can deploy ground IP geophysics to chase. The project is now wide open for copper discoveries.

What has us most excited now, is that the VTEM has generated dozens of untested new targets. This has created an opportunity for Resolution to undertake a first pass assessment on the potential for the Wollogorang Project to host sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation associated with VTEM derived anomalies.

*Australian Projects Location Map – source of data: Geoscience Australia ( LAB 170km Depth Corridor - Hoggard et al 2020), Northern Territory Government of Australia (STRIKE Tenure and Geoscience Information, Queensland Government (Open Data Portal Queensland Mining and Exploration Tenure Series).

The Wollogorang Project , is 100% owned, 3,825km[2] in size and is highly prospective for sedimentary hosted battery metals Copper and Cobalt in the McArthur Basin and sits on the LAB Base Metal Corridor defined by Geoscience Australia (Hoggard et al 2020). Previous exploration activities by RML intersected high grade shallow copper mineralisation in drilling at the Gregjo Prospect 7 m @ 1.23% Cu from 1 m including 1 m @ 4.24% Cu (hole ID 18RAB013). A follow up IP geophysical survey defined a sizeable anomalous drill target below the oxide zone identified in previous drilling. The Gregjo Prospect is fully permitted, drill ready, open along strike and accessible in the dry season from May to the end of November (in a normal year).

The Benmara Project

The Benmara Project is complementary to Resolution’s nearby Wollogorang battery metals project. The geographic location will allow RML to focus our Australian exploration efforts on base metals in the Northern Territory. (RML Announcement “New Copper Project Acquired - Northern Territory” on 15 December 2020).

RML undertook minor field work to verify historic work, a VTEM geophysics survey was flown with final processing of the survey results incomplete at the time of writing. The Company intends to finalise the historic desktop review and incorporate the final VTEM geophysics survey results and will present to investors an update in August 2021 on the project.

The Benmara Project , Northern Territory; EL32228 is owned by Strategic Energy Resources Ltd outright. Resolution executed a binding term sheet with Strategic Energy Resources Ltd (ASX: SER) (Vendors) on 15 December 2020 to acquire a 100% interest in the Benmara Project covering 663km[2] along-strike from the Walford Creek Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn-Co and Westmoreland U Deposits on the Fish River Fault in the Northern Territory.

RML has an Option to purchase the project outright within 12 months and issued 2.5m shares to SER in December 2020 for the exclusive option. The Outright Purchase cost of $250,000 can be paid in RML shares or cash, at Resolution’s election (shares subject to shareholder approval) or RML can walk away. RML must keep the tenement in good standing and pay tenement rental.
