Highlights

-          Visible gold identified in UGA-10 at 135.00m to 135.10 downhole

-          UGA-10 is positioned along plunge/strike to the south of UGA-05, which interesected 32m @ 4.62 g/t Au and 17.5 g/t Ag from 70m (as announced by MTC on 23 November 2020)

-          Laboratory analysis of samples from UGA-10 will be “rush processed”

-          UGA–11 is currently underway and is planned as a down dip step out of approximately 40 metres from UGA-04 along the hangingwall of the interpreted mineralised zone and approximately 80m along the footwall margin

-          Lab assays for UGA-07, UGA-08 and UGA-09 expected soon

19 January 2021 - MetalsTech Limited (ASX: MTC) (MTC or the Company) is pleased to provide stakeholders with an update on its diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100%-owned Sturec Gold Mine, located in Slovakia (Sturec). During detailed geological logging and sampling, visible gold at 135 to 135.1m was identified within quartz filled vein/ stockwork/ breccia, variably rich in fine to very fine grained sulphides (mainly pyrite/marcasite) and hosted within strongly argillic altered andesite host rock from approximately 108 to 164.5m down hole (*not true thickness) in the drill core from hole UGA-10.

The gold between 135 and 135.1m is present as up to 0.5mm sized, disseminated blebs grouped together in 1-5mm wide accumulations (nests) on the rim of an approximately 10cm wide quartz-pyrite veinlet and is visually estimated to be at trace levels.

The drill hole collar details for UGA-06 and UGA-07 is set out in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Drill Collar details

Note: With respect to any visible gold or visual indications observed in UGA-10, it must be cautioned that visual observations and estimates are uncertain in nature and should not be taken as a substitute for appropriate laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results will be reported when they are received and interpreted.

UGA-10

Drilling of UGA-10 has recently been completed to a depth of 164.50m.  Drill hole UGA-10 was planned to intersect the mineralised zone between along plunge/strike to the south of UGA-05. In detail, UGA-10 is situated: approximately 5 metres along plunge/strike to the south from UGA-05 along the hangingwall of the interpreted mineralised zone; and approximately 25 metres along plunge/strike to the north from UGA-05 on along the footwall of the interpreted mineralised zone. As announced by MTC on the 23 November 2020, UGA-05 interesected 32m @ 4.62 g/t Au and 17.5 g/t Ag from 70m (0.3g/t Au cut-off, downhole thickness).

UGA-10 intersected approximately 56.5m (*not true thickness) of quartz filled vein / stockwork / breccia, variably rich in fine to very fine grained sulphides (mainly pyrite/marcasite) and hosted within strongly argillic altered andesite host rock from approximately 108 to 164.5m down hole. The Company looks forward to providing an update on UGA-10 in the next few weeks as the core has been sampled and dispatched to the lab for “rush assay”.

Note: The 56.5m thick zone of quartz filled vein/ stockwork/ breccia, variably rich in fine to very fine grained sulphides (mainly pyrite/marcasite) observed in UGA-10 is a geological observation of non-economic minerals that are possibly associated with gold. However, this is not a visual estimate as there is no way to visually estimate the gold content of this potentially mineralised zone. Laboratory assay results will be reported when they are received and interpreted.

UGA-11

Drilling of UGA-11 is underway. UGA-11 is planned to intersect the interpreted mineralised zone down dip approximately 30 metres from UGA-04 along the hangingwall of the interpreted mineralised zone and approximately 70m along the footwall margin. UGA-04 intersected 90m @ 3.88 g/t Au and 13.9 g/t Ag (as announced by MTC on 16 November 2020).

Background: Sturec Gold Mine

The Sturec Gold Mine is located in central Slovakia between the town of Kremnica and the village of Lučky, 17km west of central Slovakia's largest city, Banská Bystrica, and 150km northeast of the capital, Bratislava.

Sturec is a low sulphidation epithermal system and contains a total Mineral Resource of 21.2Mt @ 1.50 g/t Au and 11.6 g/t Ag (1.59g/t AuEq) using a 0.4g/t Au cut-off and within an optimised open pit, containing 1,026,000 ounces of gold and 7,944,000 ounces of silver (1,086,000 ounces of gold equivalent) in accordance with JORC (2012). An additional 388,000 tonnes at 3.45 g/t Au and 21.6 g/t Ag (3.60g/t AuEq) outside the optimised open pit contains an additional 43,000 ounces of gold and 270,000 ounces of silver (45,000 ounces of gold equivalent), reported in accordance with JORC (2012).

Mineral Resource Estimate – Sturec Gold Mine

 AuEq g/t = ((Au g/t grade*Met. Rec.*Au price/g) + (Ag g/t grade*Met. Rec.*Ag price/g)) / (Met. Rec.*Au price/g)

Long term Forecast Gold and Silver Price USD/oz (source: World Bank, JP Morgan): $1,500 and $20 respectively.

Gold And silver recovery from the 2014 Thiosulphate metallurgical test work: 90.5% and 48.9% respectively.

It is the Company’s opinion that both gold and silver have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold from the Sturec ore using Thiosulphate Leaching/Electrowinning as per the recoveries indicated.
