Managing Director Barry Cahill commented:

"We have been very pleased with the drilling results received to date. These assay results continue to confirm the presence of a substantial zone of copper mineralisation which is up-plunge of the former underground mine. We continue to be excited about the receipt of the results of balance of the outstanding assays. It is not often that you have the privilege of getting these widths of mineralisation beneath an existing shallow open pit. The assays will be included in an updated mineral resource estimate that we look forward to releasing during the first half of this year."

Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM) ("Cyprium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce further assay results from 28 RC holes (for 7,504m) of the Nifty West drilling program. The drilling programme targeted a lightly drilled area, up-plunge of the former underground mine in the keel area of the Nifty Syncline, below the western end of the Nifty open pit (refer to Figure 1).

Hole locations from the current program are shown in Figure 2 with the significant intersections summarised in Table 2.

Discussion of results

Further wide intervals of low to medium-grade copper mineralisation were encountered on four section lines (101,560E - Figure 3, 101,600E- Figure 4, 101,640E- Figure 5 and 101,680E- Figure 6) to the immediate east of lines 101,480E and 101,520E, where significant intersection were reported from the first batch of assay results announced on 2 November 20211. The latest intersections provide further confirmation of the presence of significant copper mineralisation associated with the lightly tested Nifty Syncline keel zone up- plunge of the former underground mine.
