Mt Skipper Project: Follow-up Drilling Completed
The follow-up diamond core drill hole designed to test a regional magnetic anomaly was terminated at 1193.5 metres after intersecting a 153 metre interval of hydrothermal alteration and veining containing weak iron sulphide mineralisation and traces of copper sulphide mineralisation.
Down-hole electromagnetic surveying was attempted but had to be abandoned due to the high in-hole temperatures affecting the survey equipment.
A deep penetrating ground electromagnetic survey technique (SQUID EM) is planned over the target in about 2 months and it is hoped this technique will help locate zones of strong copper sulphide mineralisation within the broader magnetic anomaly.
Detailed petrology and magnetic remanence tests will be conducted on the core to validate the magnetic source to the anomaly and help constrain future magnetic models. Assays for base metals, gold and other trace elements are pending.
The drill rig has now mobilised to the Company’s Three Ways project to start a 2400m metre proof of concept drill program testing three separate, high conductance magnetotelluric (MT) anomalies.

Share Placement to Fund Projects Raises $3 Million
The Board of Red Metal Limited has raised A$3 million from selected Australian institutions and professional investors. The proceeds of will primarily be used to advance targets towards drilling on several of the Company’s 100% owned projects.
This will include a 2D seismic trial over the advanced Maronan silver-lead project, magnetotelluric surveying for large copper-gold breccia systems on Corkwood and ground electromagnetic surveys on the new Pardoo nickel-copper project. The new funds will enable the Company to maintain its strong project generation capacity and also be used for general working capital purposes.

Maronan: Drilling Underway on the new Great Southern Conductors, QLD
Drilling is underway on the new “Great Southern” electromagnetic conductors recently identified just three kilometres south of Red Metal’s Maronan lead-silver and copper-gold deposit.
The two Great Southern conductors are about 400 to 600 metres long, model at a depth of about 100 metres below surface and are considered highly prospective for copper and gold mineralisation. Magnetic imagery places the southern conductors at the hinge zone to a regional fold closure (the Great Southern Fold Structure) which sits about 300 metres within the southern boundary of the Maronan tenement.
The current RC percussion drill program aims to drill one proof-of-concept hole into each of the Great Southern conductors. Two holes totaling about 600 metres are planned.

Drill Results: Punt Hill & Pernatty Lagoon Copper-Gold Projects
PH1 is a near coincident gravity and weak magnetic target that straddles the boundary between the separate Punt Hill and Pernatty Lagoon joint venture areas (refer to Red Metal ASX announcement dated 21 December 2017).
Drill hole DD18PTH001 was directed towards the high-gravity portion of the anomaly and intersected meta-sediments overprinted by dense, prograde-garnet alteration towards the end of hole that appears to explain the gravity response. A wide 244 metre interval of anomalous copper mineralisation averaging 0.26% copper was detected throughout the meta-sedimentary rocks with some of the better zones returning;
35.0 metres @ 0.6% copper from 841metres, including
10.8 metres @ 1.0% copper from 841 metres.
The copper mineralisation, located within the Punt Hill joint venture area, occurs as wide spaced chalcopyrite ± bornite veins with associated magnetite ± hematite and more intense retrograde chlorite, K-feldspar and siderite alteration.
Red Metal speculates that the magnetite and chlorite alteration together with the wide intervals of anomalous copper in DD18PTH001 may indicate a near-miss hole.

Tennant Creek: Copper Drilling Underway
A percussion drill program designed to test three separate magnetic targets, each with supporting copper and bismuth soil geochemistry, is underway on Red Metal’s Tennant Creek copper project.
Red Metal has used high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic surveying to define a number of magnetic targets situated in underexplored sand covered terrain 90 kilometres southeast of the Tennant Creek goldfield. These targets model at shallow depths below less than 20 metres of younger sand cover and offer scope for copper, gold and bismuth mineralisation associated with magnetite alteration.
Clay-fraction soil sampling was trialed above nine magnetic targets with the aim of ranking the anomalies for drilling using pathfinder elements. Encouraging low-level copper and bismuth anomalism was measured in soil samples collected above three of the blind magnetic targets (Red4S, Red4N and Red5) which are the focus of the current proof of concept drill program.
The program comprises 4 holes totaling 600 metres and Red Metal has been awarded up to $78,000 funding support under the Northern Territory Government’s collaborative drilling initiative.

Drilling Underway on the large Doppler Copper-Gold Target
Drilling is underway to test a high-amplitude magnetic target on Red Metal’s 100% owned Leichhardt project in Northwest Queensland.
The magnetic target, referred to as the “Doppler” anomaly, is interpreted as a large hydrothermal breccia system and is considered by Red Metal to be highly prospective for copper and gold. The target’s signature has similarities to that of the large Ernest Henry deposit located 120 kilometres to the southeast.
