Cleansing notice
The following information is provided in accordance with Sections 708A(5)(e) and 708A(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“the Act”):
About Six Sigma Metals:
Six Sigma Metals is exploring for nickel, copper, cobalt, tantalum and lithium within its ~1,500 square kilometre exploration portfolio in Botswana. These “new world” metals are becoming increasingly important as the world switches to cleaner sources of energy.
The company announced a maiden JORC Inferred Resource of 2.38Mt on 28 April 2015 from drilling within a small 185 square kilometre section of its exploration portfolio in which it had entered a joint venture with BCL. At the time cobalt was not included in the resource calculation.
Historical drilling outside of the joint venture ground has intercepted further nickel as well as significant intercepts of copper and cobalt.
A soil sampling program detected traces of lithium and tantalum which warrant further exploration.
Large tracts of the Company’s exploration portfolio remain unexplored.
-
(a) 1,838,414,592 pre-consolidation fully paid ordinary shares were issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Act;
-
(b) this notice is given under Section 708A(5)(e) of the Act;

-
(ii) Section 674 of the Act; and
-
(d) as at the date of this notice, there is no information that is ‘excluded information’ (as defined in Sections 708A(7) and 708A(8) of the Act).
