Our Mission
Resolution Minerals Ltd (RML) is a junior mineral explorer with projects prospective for in-demand commodities gold, copper and other battery metals. RML believes the best value creation for shareholders is through discovery success. Hunting for big deposits in big country.


Global uncertainty and volatility retain gold's attractiveness
The voracious appetite for copper, cobalt, nickel, aluminium and other battery metals required to convert the world from fossil fuels to green electrical alternatives
is now a short-medium and long term reality.

NORTHERN TERRITORY BATTERY METAL PROJECTS
The Benmara Project and Wollogorang Project are part of Resolution's strategy to explore for battery metals in Northern Australia

Benmara Project (Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn-Co)
- Covering 2,230km2 of the South Nicholson Basin margin and positioned on the Fish River Fault west of the polymetallic Walford Creek Deposit (Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn-Co) and Uranium occurrences
- 2,892m RC drilling program was completed in September assays pending
Wollogorang Project JV (Cu, Co, U)
- Covering 3,825km2 in the McArthur Basin prospective for sedimentary hosted battery metals: copper, cobalt and hard rock uranium
- Wollogorang is positioned on Geoscience Australia's newly identified base metal corridor - (Hoggard et al 2020)
- Proven mineralisation with the Stanton Cobalt Deposit (942kt @ 0.13% Co, 0.06% Ni, 0.12% Cu)
- 40 conductors identified in recent VTEM geophysical survey highlighting the sediment hosted copper potential of the project
- Drill targets at the Gregjo Copper Prospect to test chargeable IP geophysical anomaly underlying copper mineralisation intersected in shallow RAB drilling - up to 4% Cu
- 100% owned with mid-tier copper producer OZ Minerals sole funding Farm-in spending $5m to earn 51% interest
BENMARA PROJECT, NT – DRILLING
ASSAYS PENDING
In October 2021, a 2,892m RC drilling program followed up 4km and 2km strike length targets identified by VTEM geophysics survey in favourable sediment hosted copper setting

- First drill program in the north-east margin of the South Nicholson basin which is untested by previous explorers
- Same geological setting as the Walford Creek Deposit *40.9Mt @ 2.03% CuEq (*Aeon Metals website ASX: AML)
- The copper / battery-metal targets are untested by prior drilling
- Prior exploration focused on uranium and diamonds and did not assay for base metals, minimal exploration east to QLD border (access)
- 2,892m RC drilling program was completed in October – assays pending
BENMARA PROJECT, NT
ASSAYS PENDING

Resolution now holds a commanding ground position of 2,230km2 on the north-east margin of the South Nicholson Basin along the Fish River Fault – the two key geological features of this under explored region.
The project area covers the north eastern margin of the South Nicholson Basin – the ground is one of the last unexplored basins in Australia and prospective for sediment hosted battery metals and potential for unconformity style uranium.
Resolutions' early mover advantage has locked up a significant ground position for this emerging region with the likes of BHP, Teck and South32 getting active in the region.
WOLLOGORANG PROJECT – COPPER POTENTIAL

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.
Results from VTEM geophysics survey identified 40 conductors highlighting the copper potential of the Project.
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.

WOLLOGORANG PROJECT: GREGJO COPPER PROSPECT

WOLLOGORANG PROJECT – GAME CHANGER
The GAME CHANGER is the Farm-in & JV agreement struck with Australian copper producer OZ Minerals.
The recent agreement will see OZ sole fund exploration activities in stages, potentially through to final investment decision (FID) to mine.

OZ Minerals Farm-in & JV
Key terms
- OZL can earn a 51% interest by spending ~$4.9m over 5 years
- RML may retain 49% interest by electing to participate from year 6
- If RML elects not to participate, OZL has the option to earn a 75% interest, by sole-funding and delivering a Positive Final Investment Decision to Mine
Next Steps
- Project familiarisation with OZ Minerals team is underway
- Heritage surveys and community engagement is underway
- Drilling to take place in 2022 dry season
ALASKA TINTINA GOLD PROVINCE – GIANT DEPOSITS!
The 64North Project – potential GIANT size gold prospects in highly prospective Pogo District.

Deposit sizes stated as Endowment (Resources + Reserves + Historic Production), from Company websites, as listed on disclaimer slide
64North Project Overview
- 357km2 surrounding the 11M oz Au Pogo Gold Mine owned by Northern Star (ASX:NST)
- 30% interest achieved with right to earn a:
- 42% interest US$0.9m Year 2 spend (31/01/22)
- 51% interest US$2.35m Year 3 spend (31/01/23)
- 60% interest US$2.35m Year 4 spend (31/01/24)
- Can form a JV at anytime and co-fund
- In 2020 built a strong pipeline of prospects and acquired new geophysical data sets and built jurisdictional expertise.
- September 2021 reduced tenements to focus on best prospects and reduce carrying costs
- Expenditure for 42% earn-in exceeded, further spend carried-forward to 2022 (Year 3)

64NORTH: OVERVIEW


The Right Ingredients
- Next to operating high-grade Pogo Gold Mine 11Moz gold endowment
- Right Geology Granitic Intrusions, age 80-102 Ma, main mineralising engine room present throughout Tintina Gold Province
- Large structures potential fluid pathways identified in geophysics surveys (ZTEM, CSAMT) at Aurora and East Pogo Prospects
- Sunrise Prospect confirmed Fort Knox intrusion-hosted mineralisation style
- Tourmaline Ridge Prospect high grade rock chips up to 118g/t Au (gold)
- The Elaine Cu-Mo-Au Porphyry Prospect
- Historic Exploration Database US$15 million in expenditure 1998-2012.
The Tourmaline Ridge prospect lies on a NE-SW trend of mineralisation leading to Northern Star's (ASX:NST) Goodpaster Discovery, which is undergoing a $21m resource drill out along strike.

In October 2021 a first pass 820m trenching program was completed at the Tourmaline Ridge Prospect.
ASSAYS PENDING
- Trenching was targeting outcropping mineral systems to test scale, grade and structural controls
- Surface geochemistry up to 118g/t Au (gold) in rock chips extends over a 1km x 750m area
- Rock chips are higher grade and more extensive than at the nearby Sunrise Prospect where a 280m wide gold mineralised corridor was identified by RAB Drilling in 2021
- Next to Pogo Mine Road all year access
64NORTH: EAST POGO PROSPECT
A 1,663m RC drill program in 2021 vectors in on potential high grade Pogo-style gold mineralisation at depth. Using pathfinder element geochemistry (Au-Bi-W-Te)


2021 RC drilling program
- Tested multiple Pogo-style gold targets identified with CSAMT geophysics surveys (2020)
- Intersected seven sulfides bearing quartz veins with distal geochemical response over a large area
Next Steps 2022
- Follow up drilling three deeper drill holes totalling 1600m total, to test deeper targets identified (summer 2022)
- Targeting high grade Pogo-style gold mineralisation
