Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM:UFO), a global minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to advise that the Company has completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Munni Munni Platinum Group Metals and Gold Project in the West Pilbara, Western Australia ("Munni Munni") ("Acquisition"). As announced on 24 November 2021, the Munni Munni Project is currently subject to a joint venture between Artemis Resources Limited (ASX/AIM:ARV) and Platina Resources Limited (ASX:PGM).

Highlights:

- Acquisition of a project containing Palladium and Platinum Group Elements (PGE) plus significant quantities of other strategic metals including Rhodium, Nickel and Copper.

- Potential to extend the historic resource and identify new mineralised systems in both untested additional PGE bearing reefs and the larger base metal system associated with the regional geology.

- Consolidation of the highly prospective Munni Munni and Elizabeth Hill project areas for the first time in over 30 years.

Bill Brodie Good, Chief Executive Officer & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented:

"With the completion of the Munni Munni acquisition, we have further enhanced our position in the West Pilbara region. The Company has now secured 100% of one of Australia's largest undeveloped PGE projects at a time when global geopolitics has placed significant supply constraints on strategic metals like Palladium and Platinum. It is important to note that almost 60% of the historically defined contained metal at Munni Munni is Palladium. The security of supply for these critical minerals will become a key factor for global governments and industry.

"We are now in a position to start technical work on the project and consolidate activities undertaken over the last 20 years to advance the project as a priority. Additionally, we are excited to have a larger geological setting to incorporate aspects from the different locations of the intrusion into an overall project and concept.

"We also welcome both Artemis Resources and Platina Resources to the register as shareholders of the Company".

Alastair Clayton, Executive Director, Artemis Resources commented:

"We are pleased to become a significant shareholder of Alien Metals who have been able to consolidate for the first time in many years one of Australia's largest PGE projects. Artemis is supportive of Alien's plans to explore and develop what could become a major strategic metals project and we look forward to being a long-term shareholder of the Company."

Upcoming work programmes

Over the last couple of months, the Company has been establishing a team of experts to assist with driving the Munni Munni Project forward. This includes specialists in PGE geology, processing and metallurgy, product marketing and offtake and investment finance.

In conjunction with a Perth-based technical consulting group, the Company plans to commence on-ground exploration at Munni Munni as soon as possible, once all appropriate permitting is in place. This work could include mapping and sampling at surface, follow-up trenching, in-fill, extension and exploration drilling on various targets both known and new, as well as looking at development options.

The Munni Munni Project

The Munni Munni Project hosts the largest ultramafic intrusion in the West Pilbara and is one of the biggest undeveloped primary Platinum Group Elements ('PGE') Resources in Australia. The historic non-compliant JORC 2004 Resource estimate* implied 24Mt @ 2.9g/t Platinum Group Element (PGE) and gold for 2.2Moz PGM3, with around 95% of this resource estimate in the Measured and Indicated categories. The historic resource hosts 1.14Moz palladium, 0.83Moz platinum, 152Koz gold and 76Koz rhodium. The Munni Munni Project is considered to be one of Australia's largest PGE deposits with in excess of A$20m spent on the project with various feasibilities studies undertaken in the last 20 plus years. Previous project joint venture partners include one of South Africa's largest platinum palladium producers, Lonmin.

Munni Munni is considered to be an advanced exploration project which, with relevant expertise, could be explored quickly and have updated feasibility and development plans, all of which would be undertaken in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction of Western Australia.

Acquisition terms

Pursuant to the acquisition agreements with Artemis Resources and Platina Resources, the Company has issued and allotted 138,703,396 Ordinary Shares of no par value ("Shares") to Platina Resources Limited at a deemed issue price 0.7935 pence per share, being equal to the VWAP of the Company's Common Shares in the 15 trading days before 23 November 2021 and 358,617,818 Shares to Artemis Resources Limited at a deemed price of 0.699 pence per share, being equal to the VWAP of the Company's Common Shares in the 15 trading days before 21 December 2021 (Consideration Shares) and will pay a total of A$500,000 to the vendors.

In 2019, the Company acquired 51% of the Brockman and Hancock Ranges high-grade (Direct Shipping Ore) iron ore projects and with a conditional agreement to increase its interest to 90% in May 2021 also being put in place.

In 2020 the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, which consists of the Elizabeth Hill Historic Silver Mine Mining Lease and the 150km2 exploration tenement around the mine. The Company also holds two silver projects, San Celso and Los Campos, located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, Mexico's largest silver producing state, which produced over 190m oz of silver in 2018 alone, accounting for 45% of the total silver production of Mexico for that year. The Company also holds a Copper Gold project in the same region, Donovan 2.

In November and December 2021, the Company entered into two Binding Heads of Agreement with ASX listed Platina Resources Ltd and Artemis Resources Limited to acquire 100% of the current joint venture interest in the Munni Munni Platinum Group Metals and Gold Project in the West Pilbara, Western Australia, one of Australia's major underexplored PGE and base metals projects.
