Ann: Preliminary findings indicate additional mineralisation, page-418

Australian Mines Limited advises that a review of the sterilisation drilling completed across the proposed processing infrastructure sites at Sconi, as part of the Company’s Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS), has indicated that high grade cobalt and nickel mineralisation extends across the sites proposed for the processing plant and haul roads.

The sterilisation drilling, undertaken by Metallica Minerals Limited in the lead-up to the project’s Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), identified a preferred site for the processing plant at Sconi. This location appears primarily designed to optimise scandium production from the ore body and did not comprehensively sterilise the cobalt and nickel prospectivity of the proposed mining and processing area. Since acquiring a 100%-interest in the Sconi Project from Metallica Minerals in 2017, and having signed a binding off-take agreement with SK Innovation, Australian Mines has been focused on optimising the Sconi BFS for cobalt and nickel production to maximise economic returns from the Project
