Two shallow high-grade gold discoveries at Forrestania

First gold-focused drill program intersects significant zones of high-grade mineralisation grading up to 33g/t Au across two key prospects – follow-up drilling already in progress

HIGHLIGHTS

• Two new shallow high-grade gold positions defined during maiden gold drilling programs at the

“Gem” (Gemcutter) and “Crossroads” gold prospects, part of the 100%-owned Forrestania Gold-

Lithium Project in WA.

• At the Gemcutter prospect, on the Gem Mining Lease (M77/549), RC drilling has intersected:

o 21m @ 3.20g/t gold from 34m, including 3m @ 4.58g/t and 1m @ 33.10g/t (GPRC0041)

o 15m @ 0.51g/t gold from 48m, including 2m @ 3.32g/t (GPRC0042)

o 9m @ 0.66g/t gold from 81m, including 1m @ 4.84g/t (GPRC0046)

• At the Crossroads prospect, RC drilling has intersected:

o 1m @ 15.70g/t (CRRC0001)

o 2m @ 3.51g/t gold from 23m, including 1m @ 6.29g/t (CRRC0005)

o 1m @ 16.70g/t gold from 73m (CRRC0006)

• RC drill rig has resumed drilling to test extensions of the high-grade zone identified at the Gemcutter

prospect both down-plunge and along strike.

• Following completion of the current program at Gemcutter, the rig will then move to undertake

additional drilling at Crossroads.

Marindi Metals Ltd (ASX: MZN; Marindi or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has intersected significant zones of shallow high-grade gold across two emerging prospects at its 100%-owned Forrestania Gold-Lithium Project in WA (see Figure 1).

The recently completed gold-focused Reverse Circulation (RC) drill campaign tested the north-eastern extent of the Kit Kat gold prospect, as well as the porphyry-associated “Gemcutter” gold prospect on its 100%-owned Gem Mining Lease (M77/549) and the “Crossroads” gold prospect in the centre of Marindi’s highly prospective tenure (see Figure 1).

Drilling at the Gem Mining Lease to test a porphyry-associated gold target, developed by the Marindi exploration team after analyses of a historical (1974) nickel drill-hole, returned thick zones of high-grade gold assays from shallow depths. The new Gemcutter gold prospect is an exciting shallow high-grade gold discovery that is currently being further evaluated by 650m of follow-up RC drilling (see Figures 2 and 3).

Further south at the Crossroads gold prospect, RC drilling was undertaken to follow up on private soil sampling data and shallow costeaning. The drilling intersected a 400m long NW-SE trending zone consisting of several narrow but very high-grade gold intercepts in quartz veins with associated sulphide wall-rock alteration at shallow depths (see Figure 4).

At the Kit Kat gold prospect, drilling intersected several prospective structures and returned encouraging low-level gold values from quartz veining visually similar to, and hosted in the same rocks as, those seen at the nearby Kat Gap high-grade gold prospect. Despite this technical success, no significant mineralised intercepts were returned during this campaign. Gemcutter Gold Prospect In the first gold-focused RC drilling undertaken on the Gem Mining Lease, Marindi returned 21m @ 3.20g/t gold from 34m, including 3m @ 4.58g/t and 1m @ 33.10g/t (GPRC0041). Subsequent drill-holes GPRC0042 and GPRC0046, drilled on the same section (35-50m spacing) and down-dip of the discovery hole, also intersected thick, shallow gold mineralisation in a pervasive chlorite alteration/quartz-vein zone sitting on a shallow west-dipping ultramafic/mafic contact. (Fig.2). Due to the apparent significance of the discovery, Marindi has decided to differentiate the gold prospect from the nearby Gem pegmatite mine by naming the prospect the Gemcutter gold prospect.

“The founding theory behind targeting the Gemcutter gold prospect was developed by the Marindi exploration team after analysing historical data and creating a working geological model for drill testing,” said Marindi’s Managing Director, Simon Lawson. “The first drill-hole to test this model bore immediate fruit with a thick intercept of mineralisation comprising 21m at 3.2g/t from 34m down-hole including a narrow, much higher-grade zone on the footwall contact grading up to 33g/t Au.”

“Subsequent drilling has demonstrated the continuity of the mineralisation down-plunge and justified our decision to rapidly resume further drilling. In addition, our strategic acquisition of 100% ownership of the M77/549 tenement earlier this year ensures we had already secured 100% of the potential value contained within this discovery for our shareholders.”

Crossroads Gold Prospect

The Crossroads gold prospect was developed from historic private data purchased from local landholders in 2018 (see ASX announcement dated 26th November 2018). Previous work included shallow soil sampling and related shallow costeaning (trenching). After analysing the data and discussions with the previous landholders, the Marindi geology team identified a potential NW-SE trend to drill test.

The first east-dipping RC drill-hole completed by Marindi at this target intersected 1m @ 15.70g/t from 20m down-hole (CRRC0001). The high-grade gold is hosted in steeply west-dipping quartz veins within a weakly to moderately altered mafic unit adjacent to and overlying a strongly deformed granite (Fig.4).

Further drilling on a section 100m to the north, along the NW-SE trend, intersected 1m @ 16.70g/t from 73m down-hole (CRRC0006) quickly followed by additional success 200m north-west intersecting a further 2m @ 3.51g/t, including 1m @ 6.29g/t from 23m down-hole (CRRC0005). Kit Kat Gold Prospect Marindi’s maiden reconnaissance program at the Kit Kat prospect covered roughly half a square kilometre of the 10km2 of high-potential sheared granite/greenstone contact zone which the Company holds in the south of the Forrestania Project. The geological potential of the area is demonstrated by the emerging Kat Gap high-grade gold prospect to the north (owned by Classic Minerals) and the historical high-grade quartz-vein-hosted Hatters Hill gold field (owned by Western Areas) to the south. The geology encountered in the first drill campaign was slightly different to what was interpreted from the ground-based geophysics conducted earlier this year. Due to the presence of magnetite alteration (discovered during drilling) adjacent to the main granite/greenstone contact, the geophysical contrast model being used by the Company’s exploration team will need to be adjusted to account for this highly magnetic feature. On a positive note, the magnetite alteration may be associated with pervasive metal-rich fluids flowing down the shear zone being targeted and may be another potential indicator of nearby high-grade gold mineralisation. The Company will further refine its targeting strategy at Kit Kat based on the observations from the first gold-focused RC drill program conducted over this high-potential structural target. The next drill program at Kit Kat will consist of air-core drilling as a more cost-effective “interim” drill method compared to RC drilling, allowing a wider area to be evaluated in order to refine targeting for follow-up RC drilling. Management Comment Marindi’s Managing Director, Simon Lawson, said the exciting results generated at the Gemcutter and Crossroads prospects clearly demonstrated the enormous untapped gold potential within the 1,000km2 Forrestania Project. “Generating consistent, shallow high-grade gold intercepts at two out of three prospects tested in our very first gold-focused drilling campaign is a huge result for our shareholders,” he said. “While we may not have discovered a high-grade position at Kit Kat yet, we tested only a very small area in this campaign. We remain committed to the geological setting and gold potential of the area and look forward to further testing the remaining 9.5km of that highly prospective regional-scale shear-zone. “In the short term, our focus is back at Gemcutter and Crossroads, where further drilling is already underway to follow-up on the high-grade results reported in this announcement. We look forward to providing further updates on this drilling in the near future.”

Appendix 1 – JORC 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 (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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

(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant

disclosure of detailed information.

• The drill program comprised 26 RC drill holes. Drill intervals that were most prospective for Au mineralisation were sampled with 1m samples. 2m to 4m composite samples were used to test larger intervals for Au mineralisation. A bulk sample was collected in a 600x900mm plastic bag and a 10% split using a cone splitter on the rig was also taken in a calico bag. Sample intervals were created from the geology logs. The 10% cone split from the drill rig was assayed for the 1m intervals. For composite samples, the 10% cone splits were combined and spit using a 50% riffle splitter.

Drilling techniques

• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,

open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,

auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details

(e.g. 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).

• Drilling method used is Reverse Circulation. The drill rig is a Schramm 685 rig with 2400CFM and 800 PSI air pressure. A 146mm hammer was used.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

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

of fine/coarse material.

• An experienced RC driller from a reputable drilling contractor was used for the drill program. The contractor and Marindi Metals staff used industry standard techniques to maximise sample recoveries and produce representative sample intervals during RC drilling. The cyclone and splitter are levelled and cleaned regularly.

• Sample recovery for the drill program was excellent and is recorded for every 1m by Marindi geologists.

• No apparent bias has occurred during sampling.

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.

• All metres drilled were logged my Marindi geologists. Geology logs record colour, structure, alteration and lithology.

• All data is validated before entry into the Marindi Metals Ltd database.

• A portable XRF was available to assist with logging.

Subsampling 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.

• Sample intervals were determined by a Marindi Metals geologist who used geological logging data to assign sample intervals.

• Sample preparation is undertaken by a registered laboratory (ALS). Samples are prepared by dry pulverisation to 85% passing 75 microns

• Sampling is carried out using standard protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry practice. Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the size of sample material to give an accurate indication of gold mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

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 (e.g. standards, blanks,

duplicates, external laboratory checks)

and whether acceptable levels of

accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and

precision have been established.

• Samples were analysed by either accelerated cyanide leach using LeachWELL assay tabs with AAS finish and a 4 hour leach (Au-AA15) or by 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish for gold (Au-AA26).

• The analysis was completed by an industry-leading laboratory. Internal certified laboratory QAQC is undertaken including check samples, blanks and internal standards.

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.

• MZN samples are verified by the geologist before importing into the main MZN database.

• Data is collected using a standard geological template. Geological logging of all samples is undertaken recording colour, structure, alteration and lithology.

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.

• All maps and collar locations are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and surveyed using a Garmin handheld GPS.

• Accuracy is within +/- 4m. • Drill hole locations are recorded in UTM

grid GDA94 MGA Z50. • Topographic control is considered

adequate.

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.

• Majority of the drill holes were drilled as fence lines across the interpreted targets. Drill targets are determined using geochemical, geophysical and geological data together with historical drilling information. The drill spacing used is considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation targeted.

• Sample compositing has been used and varies from 2m to 4m composites. It is used where there is a low-moderate probability of mineralisation from geological interpretation of the drill samples.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

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.

• No significant orientation-based sampling bias is known at this time.

• The drill holes may not necessarily be perpendicular to the orientation of the structure hosting the mineralisation. Due to the lack of drilling the orientation of the structures is poorly understood.

• All reported intervals are downhole intervals, not true widths.

Sample security

• The measures taken to ensure sample

security.

• Appropriate security measures are taken to dispatch samples to the laboratory.

• Chain of custody of samples are managed by Marindi Metals Ltd.

• Samples are stored onsite and transported to the laboratory by Marindi Metals Ltd personnel or a licenced transport company.

• The laboratory issues a receipt and a reconciliation of delivered samples against the laboratory analysis submission form from Marindi Metals Ltd.

Audits or reviews

• The results of any audits or reviews of

sampling techniques and data.

• Marindi Metals have not completed any external audits or reviews of the sampling techniques and data.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

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.

• M77/549, E77/2348 and E74/627 are

100% owned by Marindi Metals Ltd.

• The native title interests are

represented by SWALSC on behalf of the

Ballardong Agreement Group.

Exploration

done by other

parties

• Acknowledgment and appraisal of

exploration by other parties.

• A large amount of historic data is

available to Marindi Metals and

appraisal of data is continuing.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of

mineralisation. • As described in the release.

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.

• Refer to Table 1 of this document, Drill

Hole Collar Table.

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

(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not

known’).

• True widths are not confirmed however

drilling is planned perpendicular to

interpreted targets.

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.

• Drill collar locations are in Table 1 of the

release.

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.

• The accompanying document is

considered to represent a balanced

report.

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.

• Other exploration data collected is not

considered as material to this

announcement at this stage. Further

data collection will be reviewed and

reported when considered material.

Further work • The nature and scale of planned further

work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or

depth extensions or large-scale stepout

drilling).

• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of

possible extensions, including the main

geological interpretations and future drilling

areas, provided this information is not

commercially sensitive.

• Further exploration is planned once all

data has been assessed.
