Exploration Update

09 February 2021

E2 Metals (E2 or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on drill results from the Conserrat gold and silver project located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina.

Highlights

  • Further drilling at Mia has intercepted a wide silica sulphide breccia with gold. The Lara Vein structure is interpreted to be displaced at depth by a subvertical fault. Results include:

o CODD-067: 16.3m at 0.4gpt Au, 74gpt Ag (1.5gpt AuEq)[1] from 168.7m, inc. 2.6m at 0.8gpt Au, 280gpt Ag (5gpt AuEq)[1] from 172.1m o CODD-073: 19m at 0.9gpt Au, 22gpt Ag (1.2gpt AuEq)[1] from 213m, inc.

  • Wide zones of shallow gold mineralisation returned from drilling at Florencia with three mineralised structures defined over an area of 500m by 300m.

  • DRC-FL20-045: 13m at 2.6gpt Au, 23gpt Ag (2.9gpt AuEq)[1] from 31m, inc. 1m at 9.5gpt Au, 158gpt Ag (11.9 gpt AuEq)[1] from 32m, and 2m at 4.3gpt Au, 16gpt Ag (4.5 gpt AuEq)[1] from 39m

  • Mineralisation at Florencia appears distinct from elsewhere and is hosted in sulphide veinlets and breccias rather than being clearly associated with epithermal quartz veins.

  • A detailed Gradient Array Induced Polarisation geophysical survey has been completed and identified 12 possible parallel structures over 2km from Florencia to Ro and Malena.

Drilling recommenced in January with initially several holes testing the lower limits of mineralisation at Mia, but then focusing on casting a wider net at the Conserrat project by testing a number of regional targets. At Florencia, we are encouraged by the scale of the gold system with wide zones of disseminated mineralisation intercepted in a majority of the drill holes. The new Gradient Array geophysical data has revealed the potential size of the Florencia system and identified 12 additional vein trends stretching over 2km to Malena, suggesting the two prospects are connected beneath shallow cover. The focus for the next four weeks will be systematically testing these targets along with ongoing drilling at other prospects.

Mia

Drill results

Drilling at Mia since the recommencement in January has been focused on extensions of known mineralised gold and silver shoots within the Lara Vein structure. Reported drill holes are shown in Figure 2 and 3.

Three diamond drill holes totaling 757m were completed to test a deeper mineralised shoot discovered late last year with hole DDH-MI20-065 returning 4.1m at 1gpt Au, 644gpt Ag (10.6 gpt AuEq)[1] from 175m ( see ASX announcement, 22 December 2020, Drilling expands gold and silver mineralisation at Mia ).

Hole CODD-067 was collared 75m west of DDH-MI20-065 targeting mineralisation down plunge. This hole intercepted the Lara Vein structure at 172m depth and returned:

  • CODD-067: 16.3m at 0.4gpt Au, 74gpt Ag (1.5gpt AuEq)[1] from 168.7m, including

2.6m at 0.8gpt Au, 280gpt Ag (5gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 172.1m

Two deeper holes (CODD-071 and 073) tested the Lara Vein structure 50m down dip on sections 535020E and 534945E. The holes intercepted a wide silica sulphide breccia and the Lara Vein structure is interpreted to be displaced at depth by a subvertical fault (see Figure 4).

Gold and silver assay results for the lower silica sulphide breccia include:

  • CODD-071 (535020E) 30m at 0.5gpt Au, 11gpt Ag (0.7gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 218m

  • CODD-073 (534945E) 19m at 0.9gpt Au, 22gpt Ag (1.2gpt AuEq)[1] from 213m, including

1m at 2.8gpt Au, 95gpt Ag (4.2gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 227m

Silica sulphide breccias are characterised by a very high modal percentage (up to 20%) of matrix and semi-massive sulphides. This style of sulphide alteration at Conserrat appears to be associated with a gold phase that is overprinted with silver and gold vein mineralisation (e.g the Lara Vein).

Interestingly, hole CODD-073 intercepted silver mineralisation in the top of the hole with 2m at 123gpt Ag (1.8gpt AuEq)[1] from 22m. While modest grade, the shallow intercept highlights the potential for further parallel veins north of the current focus of drilling.

Two additional diamond holes (CODD-077 and 080) were drilled on sections 535020E and 534945E, 50m west of hole DDH-MI20-044 (2m at 43.7gpt Au, 9gpt Ag (43.8gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 21m and 6.1m at 4.6gpt Au, 28gpt Ag (5.0gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 68m). Both holes collared into a north-orientated structure that offset mineralisation. The structure is interpreted to be a normal fault that has displaced the western block down relative to the eastern block, indicating possible downward displacement of mineralised shoots to the west of this structure (see Figure 3).

Drilling at Mia will continue to focus on step-outs to target extensions of the current mineralised shoot potentially offset by structures, and additional mineralised shoots in parallel structures. Multiple geophysical targets have been identified at Mia in the new GAIP data.

Florencia

Drill results

Florencia is an early-stage prospect located 2km northwest of Mia. Widespread gold (with lesser silver) mineralisation was reported at Florencia late last year ( ASX announcement, 9 November 2020, Florencia returns positive drill results ). Reported drill holes are shown in Figure 5 to 6.

The prospect is centered on three west-northwest orientated structures and spaced over 300m. All structures host disseminated gold mineralisation over widths of 10 to 50m and have measured strikes that range from 250 to 400m. Mineralisation intersected to date is distinct from other deposits in the area in that it is associated with disseminated sulphides and veinlets without epithermal veins.

The strongest mineralisation defined at Florencia to date is within a subsidiary north-northwest structure that links the major west-northwest structures. Reported assays include:

  • DRC-FL20-045: 13m at 2.6gpt Au, 23gpt Ag (2.9gpt AuEq)[1] from 31m, including

  • 1m at 9.5gpt Au, 158gpt Ag (11.9 gpt AuEq)[1 ] from 32m, and

  • 2m at 4.3gpt Au, 16gpt Ag (4.5 gpt AuEq)[1] from 39m

Mineralisation within the north-northwest structure has been defined over 70m strike and 100m vertical as defined by previous holes CORC-11 (46m at 0.7gpt Au, 36gpt Ag (1.2gpt AuEq)[1] from 9m) and DRC-FL20-019 (17m at 1.3gpt Au, 10gpt Ag (1.4gpt AuEq)[1] from 87m).

The remaining holes were drilled into the west-northwest structures confirming wide zones of disseminated gold mineralisation. Selective intercepts include:

  • DRC-FL20-048: 12m at 0.7gpt Au, 12gpt Ag ( 0.9gpt AuEq )[1 ] from 74m

  • DRC-FL20-053: 11m at 0.6gpt Au, 39gpt Ag ( 1.2gpt AuEq )[1 ] (terminated in mineralisation)

  • DRC-FL20-056: 13m at 0.9gpt Au from 0m

The Company is encouraged by the scale of the mineralised system at Florencia, but the immediate focus remains on vein-style mineralisation and higher-grade structures with mineralised shoots.

Gradient Array Induced Polarisation Geophysical Survey

A detailed (100m spaced lined) Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) geophysical survey has been completed to infill the existing regional data to provide better definition and enable the expansion of exploration at Florencia and surrounding prospects into areas with shallow gravel and Tertiary basalt cover.

Processed images of the detailed GAIP show up to 12 coincident chargeability and resistivity trends spaced over two kilometers north from Florencia to Ro and Malena (see Figure 7). The chargeability and resistivity trends are interpreted to potentially be parallel veins or mineralised structures. Survey line orientation was north-south to detect east orientated structures lie Mia.

Emilia Este

Emilia Este is a new surface vein discovery located 4.6km north of Mia on a separate mineralised trend ( see ASX announcement 9 November 2020, Florencia delivers promising drill results )

Sampling at the Emilia Este vein has returned further high-grade gold and silver mineralisation at surface with up to 82gpt Au and 2468gpt Ag in rock chip samples. Gold and silver mineralisation is associated with a north-northwest orientated vein breccia that has been traced in outcrop over 80m strike, potentially representing a high-grade dilatant ‘link’ structure between segments of a northwest orientated fault corridor.

Two holes (DDH-EE20-060 and 062) totaling 187m were drilled at the Emilia Este prospect. Both holes intercepted wide zones of disseminated gold and silver without high-grade mineralisation.

Inspection of the core has shown that neither hole intercepted the high-grade colloform banded vein facies identified in outcrop, and further drilling is planned to test the prospective structures below 100m vertical depth.

Upcoming work programs

The Company plans an additional 7500m of diamond and lesser RC drilling during the next three months focused on new discoveries within regional prospects, in additional to ongoing drilling at Mia focused on extensions of known high-grade mineralised shoots.

• The rock chip samples reported in this announcement were collected by E2 Metals
during January 2020. A total of 127 samples were collected from vein outcrop and
representative float trains.
• Samples were analysed by ALS, Mendoza, Argentina. Samples were crushed to less
than 2mm, split and pulverized to <75µm.
• Multi-element (48) data was by four acid digest and ICP-MS including trace
mercury by ICP-MS. Au was by fire assay using a 50g sample with AA finish.
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 everysample 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:
o Measuring core lengths with a tape measure.
o Removing the core from the split inner tube and placing it carefully in the core
box.
o Assessing recovery against core block depth measurements.
o 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.

Overall, core quality is good, with minimal core loss. Where there is localized
faulting and or fracturing core recoveries decrease, however, this is a very small
percentage of the mineralized intersections.

Conserrat RC Drilling

The small sample bags derived from the initial RC rig cyclone and riffle splitting
reach a weight of 2.7-4Kg.

Wet samples were split with a hydraulic cone splitter from the cyclone in bags
with a micro-porous fabric, which allowed water to escape without loss of
particulate material.

The riffle splitter was cleaned with compressed air between samples to prevent
sample contamination.

The big bag with the original reject from the RC rig after the splitting have been
stored for any future re-sampling needs.

The core intervals were marked, and the core was split with a rock saw.

Half core samples were placed in plastic bags and tagged with a unique sample
number. The other half of the core was returned to the core box and securely
stored
Laboratory

In the Alex Stewart preparation laboratory facilities samples were dried and
crushed until more than 80% is finer than 10 mesh size, then a 600g split is
pulverized until 95% is finer than 106 microns.

Certified Standard Reference materials and duplicate samples are inserted every
25 samples (RC) and every 12.5 samples (DDH) to assess the accuracy and
reproducibility.

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.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
• The verification ofsignificantintersections by either
independentoralternative companypersonnel.
• 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.

The raw assay data forming significant intercepts are examined and discussed by at
least two company personnel.

No twinned holes have been used at this stage.

Drill hole logging data has been collected in paper form in the field, with careful
verification by several staff, particularly of the sample numbers and drill hole
sample intervals and entered into Excel. This data is then transferred to MapInfo
format.

Assay data is provided by Alex Stewart in three formats, csv spreadsheets, Excel
spreadsheets and signed pdf files. The csv files are used to merge the data into
MapInfo files. Hard copy of this and other data is stored with the other drill hole
data. Absolute values of the assay results are checked by comparing results of the
quality control samples with the known values of the international standards and
sterile samples which were inserted by the geologists into the sample sequence.
Repeatability of assay results was verified by examining the results of duplicate
samples inserted by the company and internal laboratory duplicate results included
with the assay certificates.
