ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 December 2023

Strong Sulphides at Maibele Ni-Cu-PGE Project

Drilling Update

Highlights

  • Strong pentlandite and chalcopyrite mineralisation (Ni and Cu sulphides) in drilling at flagship Maibele North Ni-Cu-PGE Project, Botswana

  • 8 Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drill (DD) holes have been drilled to date for 2,182m

  • Maibele North hosts a significant Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 2.38Mt @ 0.72% Ni + 0.21% Cu + 0.63g/t PGE + Au at (JORC 2012)[1]

  • At completion of the current drilling program, Si6 intends to update the Maibele North MRE to include the current program and US$5 million spent on historical drilling that has not previously been incorporated into the MRE

  • Maibele trend is >30km in strike length with Nova-Bollinger style discovery potential; coinciding geochemical anomalies and geophysical conductors yet to be drilled

Si6 Metals Limited (“ Si6 ” or “the Company ”, ASX code: Si6 ) is pleased to provide an update on the drilling campaign currently underway at Maibele North Ni-Cu-PGE deposit, one of the Company’s flagship projects in Botswana.

Logging of RC chip samples and drill core has confirmed the presence of strong pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite sulphide concentrations, which are indicators of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation (Figure 1). Due to delays in receiving assays from the laboratory in Johannesburg, and given the significance of the new drill intercepts, the Company has decided to release the visual estimates as a prelude to receiving assay results.

Managing Director, Jim Malone commented,

“We are delighted that our drilling at Maibele has intersected strong nickel and copper sulphides as expected at these geophysical anomalies. We’re confident these intersections at Maibele North may lead to an expansion of the known mineralisation, and we look forward to further results as we near completion of the Priority 1 drill program. We also intend to expand our exploration focus towards making further discoveries along the 30km-long prospective trend.

The drilling program at Maibele North aims to extend the current Mineral Resource by targeting geophysical conductors that are now confirmed to reflect sulphide mineralisation (Figure 2 and 3). Drilling has defined the mineralisation over a strike length of 1.5km and to 400m depth at Maibele North, which is part of a greater prospective horizon defined by coinciding geophysical and geochemical anomalism that extends for at least 30km (Figure 4 and 5).

In 2021, the Company completed an extensive Audio Frequency Magnetotellurics (AMT) survey across the Maibele North deposit to detect sulphide mineralisation below and along strike of the current Maibele North MRE (ASX release 21 December 2021). The AMT survey returned a number of prominent anomalies that extend at least 500m below surface, and have been targeted at shallow depths in the current program (Figure 2 and 3), notably:

  • 1) Beneath and along strike of the Maibele North MRE; and

  • 2) A large, steep-dipping anomaly around the deep, broad sulphide mineralisation intersected in MARD0094 (6.82m @ 0.75% Ni, 0.25% Cu, 485ppm Co, 0.60g/t 4PGE+Au from 460.00m)[2] .

A Prolific Nickel District

Si6’s Botswana Project covers >2,000km[2 ] in the highly prospective Limpopo Belt in eastern Botswana, with Maibele North Ni-Cu-PGE deposit being centrally located 50km from the world-class SelebiPhikwe Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mine (Premium Nickel Resources Ltd) and 80km from the Tati Ni-Cu mine (Norilsk Nickel Ltd).

The Project contains nickel sulphide mineralisation related to ultramafic intrusions within a continental margin geological setting, and is broadly similar in style to other ultramafic intrusion-related nickel discoveries such as IGO’s Nova-Bollinger (ASX:IGO), Chalice Mining’s Julimar (ASX:CHN) and the Thompson Belt in Canada.

The Maibele North JORC (2012) MRE contains a significant Inferred resource of 2.38Mt @ 0.72% Ni + 0.21% Cu + 0.08g/t Pt + 0.36g/t Pd + 0.04g/t Rh + 0.05g/t Ru + 0.10g/t Au , reported above 0.3% Ni cut-off (refer ASX announcement 28 April 2015 “Maiden Inferred Resource for Maibele North”).

==> picture [595 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

Subsequent to publication of the Maibele North MRE, the Company’s Joint Venture partner BCL spent US$5 million on further infill drilling of Maibele North, before entering administration and consequently the additional drilling data has not yet been incorporated into an updated MRE. At completion of the current drilling program, all available data will be included in an updated MRE.

The Selebi-Phikwe mine and smelter complex produced 26.6Mt @ 0.58% Ni + 1.03% Cu to a depth of 1km below surface between 1980 and 2016. The Maibele North deposit compares favourably in Ni and Cu grade and its shallow depth, and is of significant scale as a potential satellite operation.

Geophysical anomalism correlated with the Maibele North resource area extends a considerable distance to the northeast towards multiple targets including the Mashambe Prospect, located approximately 6km east of Maibele North, with prospects marked by strong VTEM anomalism and the presence of ultramafic rocks and geochemical anomalies. These prospects contain confirmed Ni sulphide intersections and show that the Maibele North and Airstrip prospects lie on a regional geological horizon at least 16km long that is prospective for Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation, with additional strong conductive anomalies that are yet to be drill tested. Numerous coincident geochemical anomalies across the project tenure are interpreted to reflect sulphide mineralisation at depth (Figure 4 and 5).

BCL Joint Venture

In 2014, the Company entered an Earn-In Joint Venture (JV) with Botswanan company BCL Investments Proprietary Limited (“BCL”), in liquidation, over certain tenements totalling ~185km[2] , including the advanced Dibete, Airstrip and Maibele North projects. Si6’s interest in the JV is currently 63.1% and BCL (36.9%). The JV was formed with the intention to process ore mined on the JV tenements at BCL’s neighbouring Selebi-Phikwe mill and smelter complex.

BCL’s activity in the JV up until late 2016 included extensive resource infill drilling, drilling at additional prospects along strike, internal resource estimation and scoping studies. BCL had commenced a Bankable Feasibility Study, demonstrating their confidence in the potential economic significance of the project. However, in late 2016 at a time of depressed economic conditions and Ni prices below US$5 per pound, BCL fell into administration and activity in the JV was deferred. In 2022, BCL’s Selebi and Selkirk mines (but not it’s interest in the Si6 JV or smelter infrastructure) were acquired by Premium Nickel Resources Ltd (TSX-V:PRNL) with plans to re-develop the mining assets.

In 2023, the JV was issued new licenses to replace the JV licenses that were suspended when BCL entered administration in 2016 (refer ASX announcement 17 April 2023).

Appendix 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

CRITERIA JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
- Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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 30 g 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.

RC and DD sampling. For RC drilling, samples
were taken from each 1m interval off the cyclone,
washed and logged. Bulk 1m samples weighed
approximately 15-20kg, and “A” and “B” splits
were taken for assay weighing approximately
2kg.
DD drilling at HQ and NQ diameter.
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).

Reverse circulation drilling with 3.5-inch diameter
face-sampling hammer.
DD core at HQ and NQ diameter. Core is oriented
with the mechanical spear method.
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 loss/gain
offline/coarse material.

RC sample recoveries were tested for
consistency by weighing the bulk samples with
scales at the rig, recoveries were generally
excellent.

Core recovery is recorded by drillers and field
assistants and logged digitally.

RC samples were split using a riffle splitter at the
rig to ensure sample representivity. Core samples
routinely taken on the right-hand side of the core
orientation line.

ASX:Si6

==> picture [595 x 83] intentionally omitted <==


There is no known relationship between sample
recovery and grade, grades are not reported
here.
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.

Samples have been geologically logged to
support their use in future resource estimates and
mining studies.

Logging is qualitative in nature for geological
parameters, and quantitative for mineral
percentages.

Drill holes were logged in full.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
andsample
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.

Core samples are sawn with half core taken for
assay.

RC samples were riffle split to obtain splits for
assay.

The sampling techniques are considered
appropriate and in accordance with industry best-
practice to ensure sample representivity.

RC “B” samples were collected from the riffle
splitter for use as field duplicates and future
assay checks.

Sample sizes of 1-2kg are considered
appropriate for the sampled material.

Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
- The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
- For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
- Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

Assay data are not reported here.
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.

Assay data are not reported here for the first
time.
Location
of data
points
- 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.

A handheld GPS was used to locate each sample
point. Accuracy of +/- 5m is considered
reasonable. Drill collars will be surveyed with
DGPS upon completion of the program.

The grid system for the project WGS 84 / UTM
zone 35S.
Data
spacingand
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.

RC and DD holes have targeted geophysical
anomalies along 1.5km of strike length at
Maibele. Drill sections are spaced either 50m or
25m apart along strike.

The spacing is deemed appropriate for testing the
mineralisation along strike, and drillholes may be
used in future resource estimation.

Samples have not been composited.

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.

Drillholes were oriented perpendicular over
geological strike to reduce any potential sampling
bias due to the orientation of mineralised
structures. Maibele mineralisation is interpreted
to dip ~60° SE, and drillholes typically dip 60°
NW, resulting in true width of intersections being
80-90% of down-hole widths.
Sample
security
- The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Samples are stored in securely closed sampled
bags in a fenced storage area at the field office
location.
Audits or
reviews
- The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

The data collection procedures were examined
by the Competent person and deemed
appropriate.

Geology - Deposit type, geological setting and style of
_mineralisation. _

The Dibete-Airstrip-Maibele Project is hosted
within the Magogaphate Shear Zone - a major
geological structural feature, generally
considered to mark the boundary between the
Archaean aged (>2.5 billion year old)
Zimbabwean Craton and the Limpopo Belt or
Limpopo Mobile Zone (LMZ).The nickel-copper
deposits of Selebi Phikwe lie within the northern
part of the Central Zone of the Limpopo Mobile
Belt, whilst the nickel copper deposits of Phoenix,
Selkirk and Tekwane located within the region lie
in the Zimbabwean Craton. The Central Zone of
the LMZ comprises variably deformed banded
gneisses and granitic gneisses, folded
amphibolites and ultramafic intrusions that have
the potential to host Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization
as at Maibele, and epigenetic structurally-hosted
Cu-Ag mineralization as at Dibete and Airstrip.
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.
- If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.

See Table 1 in the report.

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.

Assays are not reported here.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
- These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
- 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’).

Holes have been drilled as close as possible to
perpendicular to geological strike and dip.

Mineralisation dips to the southeast at ~50°.
Holes are drilled to the northwest at between 60-
70°.
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.

See body of this 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.

Available visual results have been reported.
Visual estimates of mineralisation may be
inaccurate or incomplete, particularly if fine-
grained mineralisation is present, and assay
results are required to draw conclusions as to the
tenor of mineralisation.
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.

Relevant interpretation of geophysical results is
included in the body of the report, and previous
ASX releases referred to in the body of the
report.
