Additional high-grade gold mineralisation intersected at Fountain Head

• Results from RC drilling at Fountain Head Project return high-grade gold intersections, including:

• 1. 3m at 25.94 g/t Au from 117m in FHRC106, o 4m at 5.39 g/t Au from 82m in FHRC108, and o 3m at 5.25 g/t Au from 110m in FHRC117
• Results confirm high-grade continuity at depth and along strike adjacent to the current resource envelope
• Potential to grow resources through further exploration along strike
• Further drilling planned to commence in December

PNX Metals Limited (ASX: PNX) ("PNX", "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from a follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drill program of 1,669m at its 100% owned Fountain Head gold Project. The results are presented in Table 1.

This was the first drilling undertaken at Fountain Head since the Company released a Mineral Resource estimate for the Project of 2.58Mt at 1.7g/t Au for 138,000 oz Au (Figure 1 and Table 2) (reported in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012, see ASX release 11 July 2019 for full details including JORC tables). Fountain Head, together with the Iron Blow and Mt Bonnie volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, form the Hayes Creek zinc- gold-silver Project ("the Project") in the Pine Creek region of the Northern Territory.

The drill program was successful, with numerous mineralised intercepts confirming good high-grade continuity at depth and along strike, directly adjacent to the current resource envelope.

Due to the success of this drill program, the Company is planning further drilling at Fountain Head to test the potential for future growth in the current resources, this is planned to commence in December.

Managing Director Comment

PNX Managing Director James Fox said: "These drill results confirm our view that significant mineralisation exists outside the current resource envelope at Fountain Head, consistent with the recently developed geological model. Numerous targets have now been identified and with further testing there is the potential to grow resources. This exploration work is being undertaken as part of the Company's efforts to determine the viability of a heap leach operation at Fountain Head that may pave the way for the development of the broader Hayes Creek Project."

Interpretation of drill results

The newly developed geological model has received further support from this drill program. Significant mineralisation appears to favour the intersection of greywacke bedding and steeply oriented structural breccia units - these mineralised 'pipes', plunging to the south-west at -20 to -40 degrees, are a new exploration vector and provide numerous open areas to test with the potential for higher-grade 'trap sites'.

The deeper high-grade intercepts drilled in FHRC110 and FHRC106, confirm continuity of bedding-controlled mineralisation that is trending towards the north-west and has the potential to connect with near-surface mineralisation that currently sits outside the existing Mineral Resource envelope (Figure 2).

The Company is highly encouraged by these results and further drilling is planned to target extensions to any new mineralised zones at depth and to increase the density of drill data along the 1.6km strike to support the potential for additional Mineral Resources.

About Fountain Head

The scale of the mineralised envelope within the Fountain Head Gold Project is significant as the gold bearing horizon extends 500m from the south-east of the existing historic open-pits, to the Banner prospect (ASX release 23 August 2018) - an approximate 2km strike extent (Figure 3).

Almost the entire strike extent remains open providing numerous exploration targets. In addition, small-scale historic hard-rock workings have been identified a further 400m to the west of the Banner prospect along the interpreted Fountain Head anticline. This suggests there is potential for further gold mineralisation in this area.

Initial leaching test work on Fountain Head samples has been completed (see ASX release 7 November 2019) resulting in excellent gold recoveries with low reagent consumption.

Heap leaching is currently being assessed as a low cost, scalable option for rapidly monetising, and generating early cashflow from, gold resources at Fountain Head, with column leach tests underway at various crush sizes for use in scaled-up modelling. A rapid development strategy relating to this is to be published in early 2020.

This could provide an opportunity to enhance the overall Hayes Creek economics and extend the Project mine life. The mined-out Fountain Head pit would then still be available for use as tailings storage from subsequent sulphide flotation of Mt Bonnie and Iron Blow ore.

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.

• At Fountain Head, the data spacing is irregular, although much of the drilling is along north-south lines using the Fountain Head Local Grid, dipping at -60°, towards azimuths of either 000° (dipping northward) or 180° (dipping southward). Drill line spacing is typically 20-40 m. On section, holes are spaced 5-30 m apart, with an average of approximately 15 m. There is a rapid decrease in drill data density outside the current resource area, lacking holes north and south, as well as at depth in the east and west.
• At Fountain Head East, line spacing is typically 20 m. Holes are spaced tightly along drill lines at around 5 m apart, in order to define the central mineralised shear. In this area, no drilling has tested rocks more than 125 m from surface.
• At Fountain Head West, drill line spacing is irregular and lines are either 10, 20 or 40 m apart. The areas with 40 m spacing would benefit from infill drilling, particularly in the far west of the resource.
• At Tally Ho, line spacing is typically 20 m, although there are at least 4 lines within the Tally Ho orebody with around 30 m spacing. Around 13 holes have reached depths of over 200 m below ground surface, down to around 350 m, targeting deep extensions to the orebody.
• The sample spacing is sufficient to establish the grade continuity of mineralised zones
• RC samples are collected at routine 1 metre downhole intervals, which is appropriate for RC drilling and for the thickness of the known mineralisation. The 1m samples, for intervals where mineralisation was interpreted to be likely, were submitted for assay.
• Four metre composite samples were taken over intervals where the drill hole was not expected to intersect mineralisation. The composite samples were collected by spear sampling the 1m bulk RC samples and combining the spear samples into composite samples over the four metre interval. Where the assays suggested that significant mineralisation may exist within the four metre composite sample, the 1m samples collected from the drill rig mounted cone splitter were then submitted for assay.

  o PNX Metals (2018)
  o GBS Gold International (2006 to 2008) o Northern Gold (2004 to 2006)
  o Dominion Mining Limited (DML) (1993 to 1994) o Zapopan (1989 to 1991)
  o NT Gold Mining (NTGM) (1988 to 1989) o Destiny Prospecting (1987 to 1988)
  o Australian Coal and Gold (1982).
• The mineralisation at Fountain Head and Tally Ho occurs within the upper units of the Mount Bonnie Formation, the uppermost division of the South Alligator Group, open folded sequence of mainly pelitic and psammitic Lower Proterozoic sediments with interlayered tuff units. These cyclic siltstone, mudstone and greywacke packages have been metamorphosed to greenschist facies.
• In the area, stratigraphy is folded along northwest-southeast axes that plunge shallowly to the southeast. The southeast-striking anticline has variable limb dips and the axis is faulted by northwest- southeast trending faults. The sequence has been intruded by pre- orogenic dolerite sills of the Zamu Dolerite and several late syn- orogenic to post-orogenic Proterozoic granitoids.
• Mineralisation at Fountain Head occurs in veins as either conformable anticlinal lodes (with flanking mineralisation) or subvertical "ladder vein" styled mineralisation associated with brittle failure sub-parallel to the fold axis, and is found within mudstones, greywackes and phyllite units. Sheeted quartz vein stock-works occur mainly in the axial zone with veins predominantly dipping northeast, and some saddle reefs occur in the axial zone).
• The Tally Ho deposit is located just to the south of Fountain Head deposit and sits on the western limb of the Fountain Head anticline. The Tally Ho deposit strikes sub-parallel to the Fountain Head deposit and consists of a linear zone of mineralisation striking northwest-southeast and plunging to the southeast. The quartz veins are 1-20 cm thick and host gold with a minor pyrite-arsenopyrite association.
• Previous mining at Fountain Head has consisted of small-scale mining of quartz reefs and alluvials from 1886 sporadically up to

						crosscutting lodes within mudstones, greywackes and phyllite units of
						a NW /SE striking anticline that plunges to the SE. The lithological
						units are believed to belong to the Mount Bonnie Formation, within

						vertical shear related stock-works, fracture zones in grey-wackes and
						saddle reefs at lithological contacts. Most of the resource is in the
						hinge zone of the anticline with gold grade rapidly tapering off down
						dip on the limbs
