Malvina Sur drilling confirms new mineralised corridor

16 December 2021

E2 Metals (E2 or the Company) is pleased to announce further assay results from Malvina including the first high-grade mineralisation from Malvina Sur.

Highlights

  • Ongoing infill and step-out drilling at Malvina continues to deliver high-grade silver and gold mineralisation including:

CORC-174: 5m at 4.2gpt Au, 1174gpt Ag (20.9gpt AuEq) from 60m, inc. 2m at 9.8gpt Au, 2580gpt Ag (46.7gpt AuEq) from 62m

CODD-191: 6m at 2.9gpt Au, 638gpt Ag (12gpt AuEq) from 44m, inc. 3m at 5.5gpt Au, 1087gpt Ag (21gpt AuEq) from 47m

CODD-189: 6.1m at 1gpt Au, 194gpt Ag (3.7gpt AuEq) from 111.9m

  • High-grade mineralisation is defined by 14 drill holes over a 325m strike with a weighted average grade of 2.2gpt Au and 592gpt Ag (10.6gpt AuEq) over 3m (downhole width).

  • Scout drilling at Malvina Sur (located on a separate parallel structure 600m south of Malvina) has returned the first high-grade mineralisation to date at the prospect, including:

CODD-194: 2m at 5.6gpt Au, 119gpt Ag (7.3gpt AuEq) from 69m

  • The mineralised structure has been defined over 400m strike and is open to the east and west.

  • Drilling is currently on hold for Christmas but will resume in the first week of January. The immediate focus will be Andrea Sur where step-out and infill drilling is ongoing.

Commenting on the results, Managing Director Todd Williams states : “We are pleased that Malvina continues to deliver near surface high-grade mineralisation including some of the highest silver grades to date within the Conserrat project. The discovery of mineralisation 600m to the south at Malvina Sur highlights the potential for further mineralised shoots under younger Tertiary basalt cover which is widespread throughout the project. Importantly, Malvina and Malvina Sur are located 2 kilometres east of Andrea Sur where recent drilling returned 15m at 16gpt gold and 22gpt silver supporting the Company’s thesis that Conserrat represents a new gold and silver district.

Overview

E2 is pleased to report gold and silver assay results for the Conserrat gold and silver project (Figure 1) located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. Conserrat is host to a newly recognised and largely concealed epithermal vein field centered 25 kilometers along trend from AngloGold Ashanti’s Cerro Vanguardia mine (historical and current reserves 8.9Moz Au, 137Moz Ag).

Malvina

Malvina is host to a largely concealed silver and gold mineralised vein and structure located in the central project area. Since October when the first assay results were announced ( see ASX Announcement, 5 October 2021, Gold and silver assays confirm Malvina discovery ), step-out and infill drilling has defined three meter-scale banded colloform-crustiform quartz veins (termed M1 to M3) within a structural corridor that continues from Uma to Malvina Oeste for over 1 kilometer strike.

Infill drilling at the prospect has been on sections spaced 50 to 25m apart testing the M1, M2 and M3 veins over 400m strike length and 150 vertical meters below the surface. Mineralised veins are within a homogenous ignimbrite sequence (white lithic tuff) and are distinguished by moderate oxidation and malachite (copper oxide) staining.

To date, high-grade mineralisation is defined by 14 drill holes over a 325m strike with a weighted average grade of 2.2gpt Au and 592gpt Ag (10.6gpt AuEq) over 3m (downhole width).

New high-grade drill intersections include:

ASX Announcement

The best silver and gold grades (max = 2862gpt Ag, 10.7gpt Au over 1m) is within a structural job where the host vein structure rotates from west-northwest to northwest. Future drilling will target possible sub-vertical extensions of the mineralised shoot within the structural jog.

Similar zones of structural complexity have been interpreted in geophysical images 1km southeast of Malvina representing a prime target for further mineralised shoots along the Malvina corridor.

Malvina Sur

The Malvina Sur prospect is located 600m south of Malvina on a separate structural corridor. The corridor is inferred from gradient array IP geophysical data and the prospective geology is entirely concealed by younger basalt cover. One scout drill hole was completed at the prospect during October. The hole was designed to test a prominent geophysical break interpreted to be a structure. The hole intercepted encouraging gold and silver mineralisation including 5.75m at 1gpt Au, 18gpt Ag.

A second RC hole (CORC-194) was drilled 75m southeast on a separate section. The hole intercepted a higher-grade structure within broader zones of disseminated mineralisation, suggesting that mineralisation is increasing to the southeast. Gold and silver assay results include:

CODD-194: 32m at 0.6gpt Au, 22gpt Ag (0.8gpt AuEq) from 51m, inc. 2m at 5.6gpt Au, 119gpt Ag (7.3gpt AuEq) from 69m

Importantly, due to technical reasons no RC sample was returned from 71 to 72m and therefore the grade and thickness of the high-grade structure could be underreported.

Elsewhere along the Malvina Sur structural corridor, two fences of inclined scout holes were completed on two sections spaced 400m to the northwest and southeast to better define the underlying geology and along strike continuation of the mineralised structure. The easternmost hole CODD-186 returned 2m at 0.2gpt Au, 46gpt Ag from 46m confirming that the mineralised structure continues for over 400m strike and is open to the east and west.

Two vein structures anomalous in gold and silver (see Figure 2) have been identified near the edge of basalt cover and likely represent the eastern limit of the Malvina Sur and Malvina structures.

Next Steps

Field work and drilling is now on hold for Christmas but will recommence in the first week of January 2022. Further gold and silver assay results are expected mid to late-January.

Immediate drill priorities when work resumes include

  1. Ongoing step-out and infill drilling at Andrea Sur where scout drilling returned 16m at 15gpt Au, 22gpt Ag ( ASX Announcement, 22 November 2021, 16m at 15gpt Au, 22gpt Ag at new Andrea Sur discovery ).

  2. Step-out drilling at Malvina Sur where mineralisation is open to the northeast and southeast, specifically along strike from CODD-194 that returned 2m at 5.6gpt Au, 119gpt Ag.

  3. Scout drilling within the southeastern extension of the Malvina and Malvina Sur. This includes vein structures anomalous in gold and silver near the edge of basalt cover (see Figure 2).

Conserrat RC Drilling

RC chips were collected using a Rifle John type splitter incorporated into the
cyclone which split the sample into two portions of approximately 75% and
25%.

About 95% of the samples were collected on a dry basis.

When the sample is wet an Hydraulic Cone Splitter is used, which take out the
excess of water, and splits two portion of the reject in 75% and 25%.

Assay standards, blanks and duplicates were inserted into every 25 samples.
Conserrat Diamond Drilling

Representative half core samples were split from HQ diameter diamond drill
core on site using rock saws

The sample intervals were defined from lithological, mineralization
characteristics, with lengths no longer than 2 m and no less than 0.5 m.

The orientation of the cut line is defined, when is possible, from structural
features such as contacts, fractures, faults, veinlets, so as to cut the core into
two equal parts.

Core orientation line ensures uniformity of core splitting wherever the core has
been successfully oriented.

Sample intervals are defined and subsequently checked by geologists, and
sample tags are attached (stapled) to the wood core trays for every sample
interval.

Conserrat RC Drilling

Sample recovery was monitored by weighing sample bags on scales beside the
drill rig.

To make sure that chip sample recovery was maximized the outlets from the
cyclone into the sample bags were carefully sealed. The cyclone and drill string
were regularly cleaned by the drill operators using compressed air to prevent
down hole contamination.

There has not been any investigation into the relationship between sample
recovery and grade.

It is considered that there was not any preferential loss/gain of fine or coarse
material.
Conserrat Diamond Drilling

Diamond drill core recoveries were assessed using the standard industry best
practice which involves:

Measuring core lengths with a tape measure.

Removing the core from the split inner tube and placing it carefully in the
core box.

Assessing recovery against core block depth measurements.

Measuring RQD, recording any measured core loss for each core run.

All core was carefully placed in HQ sized core boxes and transported a short
distance to a core processing area were logging and photography could be
completed.

Diamond core recoveries average 98% through all the meters drilled.

Four acid digest and ICP-MS is the most robust analytical method for full
digestion and qualitative analyses of multi-element concentrations. Duplicate
samples were collected. Standard assay procedures performed by a reputable
assay lab (Alex Stewart) were undertaken. Gold assays are by a 50g fire assay
with an atomic absorption finish. Silver was read by gravimetry on micro-
balance.
Conserrat RC and Diamond Drill Program

No geophysical tools were used in the determination of the assay results. All
assay results were generated by an independent third-party laboratory as
described above.

Certified reference material, blanks or duplicates were inserted at least every
25 samples. Standards are purchased from a Certified Reference material
manufacture company – Ore Research and Exploration. Standards were
purchased in foil lines packets of between 60g and 100g. Different reference
materials were used to cover high grade, medium grade and low grader ranges
of gold and silver. The standard names on the foil packages were erased before
going into the pre-numbered sample bag and the standards are submitted to the
lab blind.
