NEW REGIONAL GOLD PROSPECTS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Aircore (AC) results from regional exploration drilling completed towards the end of the 2021 field season have highlighted three new prospects along strike of the Apollo Hill Mineral Resource (35.9Mt @ 0.8g/t Au for 944,000 oz of gold1) (Figure 1).
  • Significant intersections include:
    • 13m @ 1.32g/t Au from 56m including 4m @ 4.31g/t Au from 56m - AHAC0464 at the Aquarius Prospect (Figure 1);
    • 12m @ 0.74g/t Au from 48m including 4m @ 1.36g/t Au from 56m - AHAC0444 at the Casper Prospect (Figure 1); and
    • 4m @ 0.47g/t Au from 44m - AHAC0477 and 8m @ 0.36g/t Au from 44m - AHRC0478 (two holes drilled 400m apart on a single regional drill line) at the Hercules Prospect (Figure 1).
  • Results are located on a major geological corridor that extends from Apollo Hill, highlighting the potential for additional discovery.
  • Drill holes and drill lines remain widely spaced with drilling and results open in multiple directions.
  • In all instances mineralisation is associated with prospective geology (quartz veining and shearing in bed rock).
  • A 20,000m regional AC drilling program is underway across the greater Apollo Hill land package and assays are pending for approximately 30 holes, totalling 1,500m, completed to date.

Saturn Metals Limited (ASX:STN) ("Saturn", "the Company") is pleased to announce significant results from reconnaissance AC drilling across its 100% owned, 1,000km2 Apollo Hill Gold Project, 60km southeast of Leonora in the Western Australian Goldfields.

This drilling is part of the Company's strategy to find complementary deposits to the soon to be upgraded Apollo Hill Mineral Resource which currently stands at 944,000 ounces1.

Figure 1 shows a plan of significant results located along several major geological features which extend from, and run parallel to, the Apollo Hill deposit. Drilling in these regions is still widely spaced with drill lines up to 2km apart and hole spacing along lines still 400m apart. Much capacity remains for extensional and infill drilling in these areas to build on these initial, promising results.

Figure 2 shows a geological cross section of the Aquarius Prospect. An extensive blanket gold anomaly is noted around the discovery intersection of 13m @ 1.32g/t Au from 56m including 4m @ 4.31g/t Au from 56m in hole AHRC0464. Further drilling is planned to test beneath this blanket.

In addition, the Aquarius Prospect is located immediately west of Saturn's tenement boundary with Sumitomo Metals and Mining Oceania Pty Ltd where there is evidence of substantial AC drill programs and possibly RC and diamond drilling. We believe we have located an extension to the gold system that they have been actively exploring.

Appendix 1 lists significant intersections received in the most recent batch of assays. Appendix 2 lists relevant hole details.

Saturn Managing Director, Ian Bamborough said: "It is great to see some significant results flowing from our regional exploration. It is early days, but the new prospects sit on some interesting geology and have the potential to expand and improve with follow up drilling planned in the near future. The Company will report on progress as assay batches are received and processed.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Saturn Metals Limited Board of Directors.

Competent Persons Statement - Resource:

1The information for the Mineral Resource included in this report is extracted from the report entitled (Apollo Hill Gold Resource Upgraded To 944,000oz) created on 28 January 2021 and is available to view on the Saturn Metals Limited website. Saturn Metals Limited confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Saturn Metals Ltd confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

Table 1a* January 2021 Mineral Resource Statement; 0.4 g/t Au cut-off by oxidation domain within a 1.4 revenue factor pit shell to represent reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

Preliminary Whittle pit optimizations using approximated regional mining and processing costs for multiple processing scenarios have been run on the resource model using a gold price of US$1,700/oz to generate a range of pit shells and cut-off grades. A pit shell for a combined mill and heap leach scenario representing a revenue factor of 1.4 was selected as a nominal constraint within which to report the Apollo Hill Mineral Resource, thereby satisfying the JORC Code requirement for a Mineral Resource to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Other relevant information is described in the JORC Code Table 1 as appropriate. A nominal 0.4 g/t Au lower cut-off grade was selected for all material types. There is no material depletion by mining within the model area. Estimation is by localised multiple indicator kriging for Apollo Hill zone and the Apollo Hill Hanging-wall zone; estimation of Ra and Tefnut zone used restricted ordinary kriging due to limited data. The model assumes a rotated 5 m by 12.5 m by 5 m RL Selective Mining Unit (SMU) for selective open pit mining. The final models are SMU models and incorporate internal dilution to the scale of the SMU. Technically the models do not account for mining related edge dilution and ore loss. These parameters should be considered during the mining study as being dependent on grade control, equipment and mining configurations including drilling and blasting. Classification is according to JORC Code Mineral Resource categories. Totals may vary due to rounded figures.

Competent Persons Statement - Exploration:

The information in this report that relates to exploration targets and exploration results is based on information compiled by Ian Bamborough, a Competent Person who is a Member of The Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Ian Bamborough is a fulltime employee and Director of the Company, in addition to being a shareholder in the Company. Ian Bamborough has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Ian Bamborough consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
