High Priority Drilling Underway at the Murchison

Gold Project

  • Drilling has recommenced at the Murchison Gold Project (MEK 100%) focussed on growth of the high-grade 1.1Moz gold Mineral Resource
  • Targeting strike extensions to shallow, high-grade gold at St Anne's (currently no Mineral Resource), including:
    1. 24m @ 4.81g/t Au from 68m including 4m @ 20.30g/t Au (21SARC002)
    1. 36m @ 1.02g/t Au from 24m including 8m @ 2.35g/t Au (21SARC004)
    1. 8m @ 2.66g/t Au from 104m including 1m @ 16.45g/t Au (21SARC008)
    1. 20m @ 1.01g/t Au from 40m (21SARC001)
  • Drilling will also be directed at the western flank of Turnberry (610koz Mineral Resource) where significant intersections outside the Mineral Resource include:
    1. 16m @ 6.67g/t Au from 20m including 4m @ 24.10g/t Au (21TBRC014)
    1. 29m @ 1.95g/t Au from 32m including 6m @ 4.06g/t Au (21TBRC015) o 21m @ 2.28g/t Au from 100m including 4m @ 5.14g/t Au (21TBRC013) o 11m @ 1.25g/t Au from 66m (21TBRC014)
  • Pre-feasibilityStudy for the Murchison Gold Project is on schedule for release in September 2022 and will factor in outcomes of St Anne's and Turnberry drilling

Commenting on this, Managing Director Tim Davidson said: "We are returning to the Murchison to drill out a number of advanced high priority targets that sit outside the Mineral Resource. Existing drilling demonstrate these high confidence targets have good geological and grade continuity. We are targeting extensions at both strike and depth and aim to bring them into the next Mineral Resource update.

The team is also advancing the Pre-feasibility Study as anticipated, which will be finalised in the September 2022 quarter. Shallow oxide mineralisation added to the Mineral Resource through this drilling will further enhance the robust outcomes of our December 2021 Scoping Study and will be included in the Pre- feasibility Study as appropriate."

Meeka Gold Limited (ASX:MEK) ("Meeka" or "the Company") is pleased to report that drilling has recommenced at the Murchison Gold Project. This focussed program will target shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at St Anne's, which is

not yet included in a Mineral Resource estimate. In addition, drilling will infill around the western flank of Turnberry (610,000oz @ 1.7g/t Au) where mineralisation was intersected outside the Mineral Resource in RC pre-collar holes targeting Turnberry Deeps. First results from this drilling are expected in early July 2022 and will be released on an ongoing basis.

Pre-feasibility Study

The Pre-feasibility Study for the Murchison Gold Project is on schedule for release in September 2022 and will factor in outcomes of St Anne's and Turnberry drilling. The Pre-feasibility Study will build on the solid foundation laid in the December

2021 Scoping Study(see ASX announcement dated 1 December 2021), including:

  • Pre-taxundiscounted free cash flow of $182M at A$2,400/oz gold price
  • The Project delivers an NPV5% of $124M and IRR of 46%
  • EBITDA of $457M
  • Average gold production of ~50,000oz per annum
  • 422,000oz of gold sold at AISC of $1,655/oz
  • 8 year life of mine

ABOUT MEEKA

Meeka Gold Limited (ASX:MEK) is gold and rare earths company with a portfolio of high quality 100% owned projects across Western Australia.

Gold

Meeka's flagship Murchison Gold Project has a combined 343km² landholding in the prolific Murchison Gold Fields and hosts a large high-grade 1.1Moz JORC Resource. The Company is actively growing these Resources while also progressing toward production. The release of the Murchison Gold Project Scoping Study in December 2021 outlined a robust Project that produces over 420koz of gold.

In addition, Meeka owns the Circle Valley Project in the Albany-Fraser Mobile Belt (also host to the Tropicana gold mine - 3Moz past production). Gold mineralisation has been identified in four separate locations at Circle Valley and presents an exciting growth opportunity, which is being aggressively pursued.

Rare Earths

Meeka controls the Cascade Rare Earths Project (2,068km2) in a region that is rapidly emerging as a highly prospective clay rare earths province. Importantly, the results to date contain high levels of permanent magnet metals being Neodymium-Praseodymium oxides. These metals are geopolitically critical and Meeka intend to accelerate our understanding of Cascade by commencing initial metallurgical work. Furthermore, drilling will be ongoing.
