HIGHLIGHTS

  • Further results received from drilling at the Kroussou Project continue to demonstrate the potential for multiple, very large zinc‐lead ore systems

  • Near‐surface intersections of strong zinc‐lead grades suggest strong potential for future high‐margin mining operations

  • Mineralisation is confirmed as present along the 3km length of the Dikaki channel so far tested by TKM with the latest assays including:

  • 5.5m @ 1.2% Zn + Pb (DKDD018 from 15.1m – 20.6m)

  • The channel sediments are mineralised over very significant widths which opens up the broader potential within the deeper, much more voluminous basin to the west

  • Results confirm emergence of Trek’s Kroussou Project as a potentially world‐class zinc‐lead discovery

  • Drilling is now completed, with further assay results to be reported in the weeks ahead

Trek Metals Limited ( “Trek” or the “Company” ) (ASX:TKM) is pleased to present further highly encouraging results from the recent drilling completed at its flagship Kroussou Project in Gabon (Figure 1) (“ Kroussou ”).

These latest drill results continue to demonstrate the presence of highly significant, sulphide dominated zinc‐lead mineralisation that has been intersected at or very near to surface, and offers potentially very large scale, open pitable ore systems (Figures 2‐7).

A number of assays have been received from drilling targeted within the Dikaki Channel, which is the most advanced of the many Kroussou Project prospects, and first of several channels in which Trek expects to define JORC Resources during 2019.

Best results from latest drilling within the Dikaki Channel returned:

  • 5.5m @ 1.2% Zn + Pb (DKDD018 from 15.1m – 20.6m)

  • 4.2m @ 1.8% Zn + Pb (DKDD019 from 32.0m – 32.6m)

  • 1.7m @ 4.6% Zn + Pb (DKDD023 from 20.2m – 21.9m)

  • 7.8m @ 2.5% Zn + Pb (DKDD025 from 33.0m – 40.8m)

In addition to the results at Dikaki, Trek is pleased to confirm that diamond drilling within the Bouambo South channel, located only 4km SW of Dikaki, targeting soil anomalies and rock chips has confirmed its potential as a host to significant mineralisation (Figure 8, Table 1). The results for part of DKDD004, released in September ( 5.8m @ 6.5% Zn + Pb from 10.2m ), have now been complemented by further results from DKDD001 and 002 that provide confidence that mineralisation is widespread within the Bouambo South channel. This re‐affirms the Company’s belief that there is potential for Kroussou to host several large deposits within multiple channels contained within the project area. Assays from the remaining holes into the Bouambo South channel are expected to be received in the coming weeks.

Key to the potential of the Kroussou Project, is understanding the very large scale and the broad nature of the anomalism and mineralisation that is present in the channels along the basin margin.

These windows into the basin present, in themselves, very large tonnage targets with the volume of rock present in the broader basin to the west, offering an opportunity for the discovery of potentially super‐ giant base metal deposits.

Trek has clearly demonstrated with the limited drilling undertaken to date, that the mineralising system is in the order of several tens of kilometres long and present within vast thicknesses of the sediment pile, providing all the ingredients for a very significant orebody to have developed under the right conditions.

Further results from the remainder of the recently completed drilling programme are anticipated in the coming weeks.

TKM’s Managing Director Bradley Drabsch commented:

“The latest results continue to validate our exploration approach and signal that we are genuinely onto an ore forming system of significance that could produce numerous, very large mineralised bodies located at or very close to the surface.

Dominated by sulphide ore minerals, these deposits would potentially be very easy to mine and process and present real company‐making opportunities. We have yet to explore the broader basin to the west, which is potentially where even larger, even more significant mineralisation could be hidden under cover.”

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Trek Drilling
Drill core has been cut in half using a coresaw.
Sampling is being and has been conducted to industry standard with
samples taken either at metre or geological boundaries as appropriate with
a minimum sample length of 0.3m (some minor exceptions due to core loss
in some intervals).
Core has been cut to ensure that both sides approximate one another to
ensure representivity of each length.
Historic Drilling
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to comment on the quality of the sampling used to produce the
results described. It is known from the historic reports that the drillcore was
sawn. TKM continues to try to locate any remnant core from the drilling but
as yet as been unsuccessful. It is highly likely that, due to the passage of
time, the core from the BRGM work in the 1960’s and 1970’s has been lost
or destroyed.

Results were obtained from historic reports produced by the Bureau de
Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM, French Geological Survey)
during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Trek Drilling
Drilling is either HQ diamond (63.5mm diameter core) or NQ diamond
(47.6mm diameter core) standard tube.
Historic Drilling
Drilling was completed using a Winkie style diamond drill rig producing drill
core ofapproximately25mmdiameter.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
_and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential _
Trek Drilling
Core recoveries are measured using industry standard methods for each
run of core drilled.
The use of HQ and NQ diamond core ensures the best recovery under the
conditions experienced in the project area.

No relationshipbetween recoveryandgrade has been established.

loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Historic Drilling
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to comment on the recoveries achieved at the time. Only sporadic
reference to recoverywas made in historic logs.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
Trek Drilling
Field logging to industry standard has been conducted on the drill core in its
full condition. The core will be re-logged once cut. All observations are
logged in Microsoft Excel before being uploaded into the company
database. This method will allow the logging to support Mineral Resource
Estimations if/when required.
Geological observations such as lithology, alteration, mineralisation etc are
qualitative whereas recovery, RQD etc are quantitative.
100% of the drill core has been fully logged and photographed (dry and
wet).
100% of the non-sampled core has been retained and stored for future
reference.
Historic Drilling
All drill core was logged in detail, however, due to the age of the drilling and
the inability to check-log the core due to its destruction, these logs can be
used as a guide only and will not be suitable for use in a Mineral Resource
estimation.
Qualitative: Lithology, alteration, mineralisation etc.
All holes for their entire length appear to have been logged, however, some
logs are missing from the historic dataset).
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
_being sampled. _
Trek Drilling
The drill core has been cut in half using a standard petrol-powered core
saw.
Sampling half core is industry standard.
Core has been cut to ensure that both sides approximate one another to
ensure representivity of each length.
The sample size collected is appropriate for this stage of exploration.
Historic Drilling
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to comment on the method of sampling, sampling techniques and

Trek Drilling

Samples from the first phase of drilling (Hole DKDD001 – 009) were
processed in Gabon by Setpoint laboratories. Samples were:
oWeighed
oDried
oCrushed to 80% passing 2mm
oPulverised to 80% passing 80 microns
oPackaged and sent to Intertek Genalysis in Perth for assay

Samples from the second phase of drilling (all other holes) were processed
in Ghana by Intertek Genalysis laboratories. Samples were:
oDried
oCrushed to 2mm
oPulverised to 85% passing 75 microns
oPackaged and sent to Intertek Genalysis in Perth for assay

All Samples are assayed by Intertek Genalysis in Perth using a 4 acid
digest (considered a total digest) with an ICP-OES or ICP-MS (element
dependant) finish for a suite of ore and indicator elements

Laboratory and Trek submitted QAQC samples returned results within
acceptable limits to date.
Historic Drilling

Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to confirm the method of assay or analytical technique however
historical reports indicate the drill samples were analysed using atomic
absorption methods but the digestion method is not clear.

No description of QAQC protocols are provided in the historic reports.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Trek Drilling
All logging observations are handwritten or entered into a field laptop using
MS Excel before being uploaded into the company database.
Historic Drilling
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to verify any of the results. TKM has drilled a number of holes in an
effort to twin historic holes. This process has resulted in confirmation that
the assay results published in historic reports are valid and can be used to
guide modern exploration. Due, however, to numerous uncertainties, these
historic results cannot be used for the estimation of mineral resources.

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Trek Drilling
A handheld GPS was used to locate each sample.
Sample locations are provided as UTM co-ordinates within Zone 32,
southern hemisphere using WGS 84 datum.
Easting and Northing is typically accurate to +/-10m with RL presented as
nominal at this stage. Accurate topographic control is yet to be established.
Historic Drilling
Drillholes were located according to topography on maps produced at the
time of drilling. A process is underway to attempt to accurately locate these;
however, this process is incomplete at this stage. Location accuracies are
approximately +/- 10m but may be less accurate in certain areas due to
difficultyin locatingmapped features.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Trek Drilling
Samples have been collected at regular 1m intervals unless a specific
geological boundary of significance is within an interval. Samples are then
adjusted to reflect that boundary to a minimum length of 0.3m (some minor
exceptions due to core loss in some intervals).
Whilst no Mineral Resources are discussed in this announcement, logging,
sampling, assaying and associated data collection is being conducted to
industry standard levels for future use in Resource/Reserve calculations
if/when required.
Historic Drilling
Drillhole collars described in historical reports are spaced at various
intervals including random locations and on grids of 50m x 100m and 25m x
50m.
Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, they will not
be suitable for use in a Mineral Resource estimation.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
Trek Drilling and Historic Drilling
Drillholes are vertical (one hole only has been drilled at -60o). Due to the
shallow dipping nature of the known geology in the project area, this
orientation is considered appropriate.

Historic Drilling

Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not
possible to comment onsample security.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Trek Drilling

No reviews or audits have been undertaken at this stage.
Historic Drilling

No audits are possible on the results but a full review of the historic data
package is underway.

TKM has drilled a number of holes in an effort to twin historic holes. This
process has resulted in confirmation that the assay results published in
historic reports are valid and can be used to for targeting purposes and
approximate modern findings. The historic results, however, will be
unsuitable for use in Mineral Resource estimation.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests,
historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental
settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with
any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the
area.
TKM owns the Kroussou Project in Gabon 100%.
Havilah Consolidated Resources (HCR) holds a 0.75% NSR. This royalty
may be bought back from HCR by TKM for US$250,000.
ASX:BAT holds a 2.5% NSR with 1% subject to buy back by TKM for
US$1.5M.
The Kroussou tenure is an Exploration License (G4-569) renewable each
year for a further 3-year period beginning the 2ndJuly 2015. The renewal
process for the second 3-year period is currently underway.
The Company is not aware of any impediments relating to the licenses or
area.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Intermittent historical exploration as conducted by French Bureau de
Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) at Kroussou from 1962 -
1963, the project was then later re-examined in 1979-1981 by the BRGM
in joint venture with Comilog which is a Gabonese government owned
mining company.
BRGM discovered the Kroussou Pb-Zn-(Ag) mineral occurrences as well
as others along various river systems on the Kroussou license.
BRGM conducted drilling on the project in 1962, 1977-1980.
ASX:BAT obtained historical reports and drill logs relating to BRGM’s field
program and completed cursory rock chip and mapping work in 2015 and
2016.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The deposit style reported in BRGM historical files is Mississippi Valley
Type (MVT) sedimentary mineralisation of Pb-Zn-(Ag) where
mineralisation is similar to the Laisville (Sweden) style with deposition
within siliciclastic horizons in a reducing environment.
On a regional scale, the Pb-Zn mineral concentrations are distributed at
the edge of the continental shelf which was being eroded during Lower
Cretaceous time.
Mineralisation is located within the Gamba Formation part of the N’Zeme
Asso Series and was deposited during the Cretaceous as part of the
Cocobeach Complex deposited during formation of the Cotier Basin.
Mineralisation is hosted by conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones
deposited in laguno-deltaic reducing conditions at the boundary of the
Cotier Basin onlapping continental basement rocks.
Large scale regional structures are believed to have influenced
mineralisation deposition.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level
in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o
hole length.
See table 1 within the document.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
_values should be clearly stated. _
Trek Drilling
Intervals reported using a minimum width of 1m and a minimum assay of
1.0% Zn + Pb and a maximum of 3m internal dilution
Relationship
between mineral-
isation widths
and intercept
lengths
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
Trek Drilling and Historic Drilling
Mineralisation is understood to be within shallowly dipping horizons and
therefore vertical drillholes should intersect zones at approximately right
angles and approximate true widths.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to figures and tables in report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting
of Exploration Results.
See table 1 within the document.
Other
substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
_substances. _
All meaningful and material information is reported.
