Pegmatites mapped at L1 and L2 Targets within ~5km strike extent at Stannum. Limited rock chip sampling completed and submitted for chemical analysis. HyMap hyperspectral survey data acquired for the Stannum Project area. Pegmatites mapped and samples taken from other Pilbara Lithium projects. Field work being organised for Greenbushes and Lake Cowan district Projects. Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“MCT” or “ Company”) is pleased to announce that significant outcropping pegmatites have been confirmed at the L1 and L2 Lithium Targets at the Stannum Lithium Project (100% MCT), within the Pilgangoora South Project, Pilbara Region, WA (Figure 1). The Stannum Lithium project covers an area of 9.6 km 2 and adjoins the Wodgina Tantalum Operations owned by Global Advanced Metals (Figure 23) and within the same geological terrane as the world’s second largest hard rock Lithium deposit at Pilgangoora, being developed by both Altura Mining Limited (ASX:AJM) and Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX:PLS). Access to project areas and field work was undertaken with helicopter support from Port Hedland to rapidly evaluate all projects and to fast rack work for follow up infill and extension sampling and targeting, to confirm high priority areas for drill testing once tenements are granted. At the Stannum Project, where significant outcropping pegmatites have been identified, limited rock ship samples were collected (Figure 46) under the exploration teams’ Miner’s Rights and have been submitted for chemical analysis using sodium peroxide fusion and ICP AES/MS to assay for a wide variety of elements including lithium and tantalum. Mineral identification work is planned on selected samples once assays have been received. HyMap hyperspectral data for the Stannum Project area has been acquired, and is being assessed by a specialist geophysicist, for its usefulness in identifying the various classes of pegmatites expected to be present in the area including albitespodumene and lepidolite. Reconnaissance field work was also undertaken at the Pilgangoora East; East Strelley and Mundine Well projects in the Pilbara Region. At Mundine Well, significant outcropping pegmatites were located, and limited rock chip samples were collected, and have been submitted for chemical analysis. Results are expected to be received within 4 weeks. Field work including geological mapping, surveying and rock chip sampling is now being organised for the Greenbushes and Lake Cowan districts, where the company has recently applied for 870 km 2 and 409 km 2 of exploration licences respectively. The Greenbushes district applications share common host rock and structural characteristics to the Greenbushes lithium deposit, the world’s largest and highest grade, being mined by Talison Lithium.

The   Company   intends   to   explore   these   new   project   areas   for   outcropping   and   undetected  pegmatites  that  may  host  rare  metal  mineralisation.    Desktop  surveys  are  ongoing  to  refine  target  areas   for   field   surveys,   which   have   and   will   continue   to   include   geological   mapping   and  geochemical  sampling  programs.  Importantly,  the  Company’s  initial  exploration  programs  in  these  new  project  areas  are  sufficiently  funded  with  the  company’s  existing  cash  in  bank.      Figure  1.  Location  of  Metalicity  Limited’s  Lithium  Projects,  WA.
