New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (26% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 9x increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$431k revenue, or US$306k). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$27.4m market cap, or US$19.5m). Board Change • Jan 13

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 38% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

Eastern Metals Limited Appoints Ley Kingdom as Chief Executive Officer Eastern Metals Limited announced that Ms. Ley Kingdom has been appointed as the company's Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Ley is a qualified geologist with over 25 years' experience having worked for Western Mining Corporation, BHP and a number of juniors and mid-tiers on greenfield projects through to resource definition and feasibility. Ley has a comprehensive understanding of resource projects and their development, and with her broad experience, brings an important range of skills to the Company. Ley formed her own exploration company, Highland Resources Ltd. in 2021, which she subsequently vended into a development company with gold reserves in north Queensland. In that role as Managing Director and CEO, she successfully presented to investors, brokers and corporate entities. Prior to that, Ley held a corporate role with Round Oak Minerals Pty Ltd. Round Oak was a precious and base metals, mining and exploration company with operations across four states. Before that, Ley worked with a number of junior to mid-sized resource companies as Project Geologist through to Exploration Manager across a number of jurisdictions and commodities, including gold, base metals, lithium, iron ore and coal. Ley spent two years with the Victorian Government where she worked with resources companies and led projects through the State's complex approvals process with a view to expediting projects and improving government decision making. For part of this time, Ley was seconded to the Department of Premier and Cabinet to work on a review of the Victorian government's brown coal programs and initiatives over 15 years (Edwards Review). This review included an assessment of the risks and opportunities for future investment in pre-commercial brown coal technologies. In the early 2000s, Ley worked with the Central Land Council advising Traditional Owners and their representatives, as well as exploration and mining companies, on access to land subject to the Native Title Act 1993 in the Northern Territory.

Eastern Metals Limited Announces High Grade Base Metal Concentrates Expected At Browns Reef Eastern Metals Limited announced that Metallurgical testwork conducted on two composite samples from diamond drill core at Browns Reef has shown that high grade zinc and lead concentrates with good metal recoveries can be expected from the company's Browns Reef polymetallic base metal sulphide deposit in the Cobar Basin near Lake Cargelligo in Central Western New South Wales. The separate zinc and lead concentrates should be easily marketed. Metallurgical Testwork: Metallurgical testwork was conducted on two composite samples of base metal sulphide mineralisation intersected in holes drilled some years ago by a previous owner of the Company's Browns Reef polymetallic base metal project. This work showed that zinc and lead recoveries to concentrates of over 80% could be expected. Flotation tests showed that concentrates with 55% to 60% metal content could be achieved for both zinc and lead. Silver mostly reports to the lead concentrate and copper predominately to the zinc concentrate. The metal recoveries to concentrate and the grades of the zinc and lead concentrate are in line with the best performing Australian base metal operations. The concentrates should be readily saleable to smelters. Eastern Metals intends to conduct additional metallurgical testwork on samples collected from its own drilling at its recently discovered Evergreen zone at Browns Reef. Typical metal grades at Evergreen are higher than the grades of the composite samples tested by the previous owner. Metallurgical performance may be better due to the higher-grade mineralisation.

Eastern Metals Limited Announces High Grade Copper Assays Up to 9.6% Cu At Home of Bullion Eastern Metals Limited announced that drill hole HDD049B, located approximately 40m beyond the existing Home of Bullion resource outline in the lower main lode, has returned very high level copper assays with significant zinc and silver credits. This result confirms the potential to further increase the size of the Home of Bullion deposit through further resource expansion drilling. Eastern Metals' asset in the Northern Territory is the Home of Bullion mine at Barrow Creek on EL23186, which was acquired from Kidman Resources (now owned by Wesfarmers) and hosts a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.5 million tonnes averaging 1.8% copper, 2.0% zinc, 36g/t silver, 1.2% lead and 0.14g/t gold. The HoB mine is classified as an Advanced Exploration Project under the Valmin Code. There are two principal lodes at HoB. These are the Main Lode (which is divided into Upper and Lower sections), and the South Lode. Hole HDD049AA targeted the central section of the known Main Lode Lower resource envelope for extensions of the mineralisation in the east-southeast direction. The hole intersected the Main Lower Lode between 487- 500m with small (10-15cm) bands of massive sulphides including pyrite, galena and sphalerite. Hole HDD049B was designed to intersect the Main Lower Lode down dip from HDD049AA in order to extend the resource above historical drill holes HDD045 and HDD045W1. The hole intersected a significant interval of mineralisation at 540.0m downhole over an interval of 10.5m, including a copper rich interval of mineralisation over an interval of 1.75m within this zone. Hole HDD053 was drilled to test for an extension to the upper part of the South Lode at a target 50 metres to the southeast. The hole failed to intersect mineralization and was terminated at 398.6m. Hole HDD049AAA was designed to follow up the intersection in hole HDD049AA but was abandoned at 97.8m and redrilled as hole HDD049B. The upper section of the Main Lode may be closed along strike and down dip. The lower section of the Main Lode remains open in all directions. The South Lode may be closed to the south southeast near the surface and at shallow depth but remains open along strike to the south and at depth. A small offset lode seen in two holes near the surface to the north northwest remains open. Annuncio • Oct 25
Eastern Metals Limited Announces Lithium Pegmatite Exploration Update Eastern Metals Limited announced that its initial Lithium exploration program has been completed at Barrow Creek. This scouting program wasdesigned to identify areas with granite or pegmatite outcrop by undertaking traverses at 500m line spacing, undertaken over selected test areas within EMS's 100% owned 183km2 Barrow Creek area. Although no pegmatite outcrops were observed in this program, several areas were identified as exhibiting the characteristic geology associated with the BCPF, and these will be subjected to follow-up traverses and soil sampling programs. The Barrow Creek area lies within the Barrow Creek pegmatite field. The pegmatites in this area intrude metamorphosed mudstones, sandstones, schists and amphibolite of the Palaeoproterozoic Bullion Schist, which itself is the host rock of the Company's Home of Bullion copper deposit. The source of the pegmatites is the Barrow Creek granite complex, which occurs widely throughout the Barrow Creek area, including at Prospect D where it reportedly outcrops. Interpretation of geophysical data suggests the granite occurs at shallow depth in the Home of Bullion area also. Regional reconnaissance of known pegmatite occurrences indicated that pegmatites were generally surrounded by an extensive apron or scatter of milky quartz. A milky quartz outcrop was also in evidence along with a sparse float of granite and mica schist. In addition specimens of quartz/muscovite were observed sometime in outcrop. Using the above parameters as guidelines a series of traverses across selected areas of EL32027 and EL23186, at 500m spacing, were undertaken to determine the abundance and type of outcrop and float. Quartz scatters and outcrops were occasionally observed up to 50m off-traverse and investigated accordingly, but vegetation thickness precluded observing such features further off-traverse. Wide spread quartz scatter was present at Prospect D with limited areas of quartz scatter noted in the northeast corner of EL32027 where mapped granite outcrops were identified. Unrecorded outcrop of Ali Curung Granite was seen in the Donkey Creek area. The quartz-muscovite samples observed adjacent to Home of Bullion core yard are of "pegmatitic origin" and texture and occur as dilational zones, located essentially concordant to host strata. The presence of these quartz/muscovite samples is an important indicator of structural dilation and the passage of fluid "of pegmatitic origin" and is the best evidence that pegmatites may exist on EMS tenements but that they have yet to be located. Only a selected area of the 183km2 Barrow Creek area has been included in this wide spaced traverse program and the area remains highly prospective for LCT-pegmatites. Known pegmatites in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field intrude metamorphosed mudstones, sandstones, schists and amphibolite of the Palaeoproterozoic Bullion Schist, which itself is the host rock of the Company's Home of Bullion copper deposit.

Eastern Metals Limited Announces That Lithium Pegmatite Exploration Program Has Commenced At Barrow Creek Eastern Metals Limited announced that a Lithium Pegmatite exploration program has commenced at Barrow Creek. This program will be initially to map outcropping granites that may contain pegmatites and to identify where these may also be under transported cover. In addition exploration will be conducted on and about Home of Bullion where pegmatite float specimens were identified around old workings and in the vicinity of the nearby core yard. Arunta Project; The Company's Arunta Project comprises two separate tenement blocks, all located within the Northern Arunta pegmatite province, part of the Aileron province of the Northern Territory. These are in the northern Barrow Creek area, and the southern Adnera area. The tenements are situated east of the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek near the township of Barrow Creek. Barrow Creek Pegmatite Field; The Barrow Creek area lies within the Barrow Creek pegmatite field. The pegmatites in this area intrude metamorphosed mudstones, sandstones, schists and amphibolite of the Palaeoproterozoic Bullion Schist, which itself is the host rock of the Company's Home of Bullion copper deposit. The source of the pegmatites is the Barrow Creek granite complex, which occurs widely throughout the Barrow Creek area, including at Prospect D where it outcrops. Interpretation of geophysical data also suggests the granite occurs at shallow depth in the Home of Bullion area. Pegmatites in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field are grouped into three main zones known as the western group of pegmatites, the eastern group, and the Neutral Junction group. Some of these pegmatites were worked on a generally small scale, largely for tin, tungsten, tantalum, and mica, mainly from the 1940s to the 1980s. The pegmatites are up to a kilometre or so in strike length and from less than a metre to a few metres wide. The Northern Territory Geological Survey (Frater, 2005) has reported analyses of grab samples taken from 12 pegmatite workings in the Barrow Creek field. The highest lithium values, averaging 570 ppm Li, were obtained from pegmatites in the Neutral Junction group. This result was amongst the highest values returned from sampling in the wider Northern Arunta pegmatite province. The main occurrences in the Neutral Junction group are about 3 kilometres south of the Neutral Junction homestead. EL 23186 is on the Neutral Junction pastoral lease, about 4 kilometres to the east of the homestead. The Northern Arunta pegmatite province covers a large area of the Arunta Block centred around the Stuart Highway, from just north of Alice Springs to south of Tennant Creek. It extends to the west to the Tanami Highway and to the east to the Plenty Highway. There is a large number of tin, tungsten, tantalum, mica and workings for other minerals developed in pegmatites in this province. Until very recently, no systematic exploration for lithium had been carried out in the Barrow Creek pegmatite field. Lithium is known to occur elsewhere in pegmatites in the minerals spodumene, petalite, and lepidolite a mica. Annuncio • Sep 20
Eastern Metals Limited Announces Gravity Survey Commences at Browns Reef Eastern Metals Limited announced the commencement of a detailed gravity survey at Browns Reef. The principal objective of this survey is to assist in the identification of other potential mineralized areas within the Prestons formation to the north of the Evergreen Lode, which remains open along strike and at depth, and potentially in other structures to the west of the Evergreen Lode discovery. Browns Reef lies 5km to the west of the town of Lake Cargelligo, approximately 470km west of Sydney. The area surrounding the Browns Reef base-metal deposit is utilised for agricultural purposes, including grazing and cropping. The known deposit at Browns Reef occupies a small part of the tenement. Most of the deeper drilling to date has been confined to a zone approximately 2.7km long in the central to southern part of the tenement and is situated on the eastern flank of the interpreted 9km long synclinal structure. Figure 1 shows the interpreted geology of the Browns Reef project area. This drawing also shows the location of the two high grade zones identified by Eastern Metals for further and more detailed follow-up drilling. The northern-most of these zones, formerly known as the Northern High-Grade Zone and now known as the Evergreen Zone, is centred near the historic hole BRD013 drilled by Kidman Resources, which returned an intersection of 7.0m averaging 5.5% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 0.5% Cu, 20.2 g/t Ag and 0.5 g/t Au. This is the area that was tested by the Company's recent drilling program and where the Evergreen Lode was discovered. EL 6231 has wide spacing gravity data available from historical programs undertaken by the Geological Survey of NSW. In 2002 a detailed GPS gravity survey was commission by Admiralty Resources NL and carried out by Haines Surveys of Adelaide. This was a closely spaced ground gravity survey over a selected area at Browns Reef. The survey area measured approximately 4.6 km x 1.8 km and was targeted to cover the known core north-south strike extent of the Browns Reef mineralisation. A combined total of 524 stations over 48.6 line km of survey at mostly 100m (some at 200m) line spacing and 100m gravity station spacing was completed. Gravity data modelling identified at least two significant zones of anomalous gravity response along strike from the Browns Reef mineralisation - Browns Reef South and North Anomaly. Both of these exceed 500 metres of strike length and modelling indicates the potential for steeply-dipping tabular sources. The North Anomaly is co-incident with the Evergreen Lode discovery and the South Anomaly is co-incident with the Browns Reef South "High Grade Target Zone". Modelling of regional scale wide spaced gravity data along the Lachlan Valley Highway suggests a strong possibility that a structure, similar to the feature on the eastern flank that hosts both the North Anomaly (Evergreen Lode discovery) and South Anomaly (Browns Reef South "High Grade Target Zone"), may also exists on the western side of the interpreted syncline. The objective of this new gravity survey is to obtain more closely spaced high quality gravity data that will extend the existing detailed gravity coverage to the north and to the west of the Evergreen Lode discovery and which will assist in targeting future drilling programs in these areas.

Eastern Metals Limited Announced Phase 1 of A Two Phase Resource Expansion Drilling Program At the Home of Bullion Mine Has Been Completed Eastern Metals Limited announced that Phase 1 of a two phase resource expansion drilling program at the Home of Bullion (HoB) mine has been completed. This program was designed to test for extensions of the previously defined mineralised envelope at HoB which has yet to be closed off along strike or down dip. This re-designed program consisted of three holes for a total of 1,474 metres. Eastern Metals' asset in the Northern Territory is the Home of Bullion mine at Barrow Creek on EL23186, which was acquired from Kidman Resources (now owned by Wesfarmers) and hosts a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.5 million tonnes averaging 1.8% copper, 2.0% zinc, 36g/t silver, 1.2% lead and 0.14g/t gold. The HoB mine is classified as an Advanced Exploration Project under the Valmin Code. There are two principal lodes at HoB. These are the Main Lode (which is divided into Upper and Lower sections), and the South Lode. The upper section of the Main Lode may be closed along strike and down dip. The lower section of the Main Lode remains open in all directions. The South Lode may be closed to the south southeast near the surface but is open along strike to the south and at depth. A small offset lode seen in two holes near the surface to the north northwest remains open. HDD049AA targeted the top section of the known Main Lode Lower resource envelope for extensions of the mineralisation in the ESE direction. This hole intersected the top of the main lode lower at approximately 487-490m with small (10-15cm) bands of massive sulphides including pyrite, galena and sphalerite. HDD049B was designed to intersect the main lode lower down dip from HDD049AA in order to extend the resource above historical drill holes HDD045 and HDD045W1. HDD049B intersected a significant interval of mineralisation at 537.4m downhole over an interval of approximately 13.6m, including an intense copper rich interval of mineralisation over a width of approximately 3.9m within this zone. Neither of the intercepts in these holes pierce the current resource estimate wireframes but extend it. The strong to intense mineralisation in HDD049B appears to be cut off by a large quartz vein with possible faulting having truncated mineralisation continuity downhole. Future drill holes will be designed to test for intersections of intense mineralisation laterally and vertically to HDD049B where the mineralised area may have been displaced due to possible faulting. HDD053 was designed to extend the South Lode further to the SSE of the existing known resource. It was a significant step out and intersected no mineralisation. Core trays containing mineralised intervals have been dispatched to MIME Field Services in Parkes for processing with core to be sent to ALS Orange for assaying. Annuncio • Aug 02

Eastern Metals Limited Announces Two Diamond Drill Holes to Test for Mineralization At Browns Reef Each Intersected Massive and Disseminated Sulphide Mineralization Eastern Metals Limited announced that two diamond drill holes to test for mineralization at Browns Reef each intersected massive and disseminated sulphide mineralization. This drilling has extended the Evergreen lode a further 50m to the south of the area drilled by EMS earlier this year. Following a prolonged period of heavy rainfall, two additional holes planned to test for extensions to the lode to the north have been deferred. The Evergreen lode has now been now identified over a strike length of more than 150m and vertical depth of 300m and remains open along strike in both directions and at depth. Lake Cargelligo's mean rainfall to June is 217.0 mm. For 2022 more than 499 mm of rain has fallen. This has made access for heavy equipment like drill rigs difficult. Eastern Metals has unilaterally decided to defer further drilling to avoid unnecessary damage to the farming property. The track shown in this photograph will be made good and the drilling program will be completed after the ground dries out and conditions improve to allow easier rig access. Browns Reef: Browns Reef lies 5km to the west of the town of Lake Cargelligo, approximately 470km west of Sydney, on EL 6321. The area surrounding Browns Reef is utilized for agricultural purposes, including grazing and cropping. The Browns Reef deposit occupies a small part of the tenement. Most of the deeper drilling to date has been confined to a zone approximately 2.7km long in the central to southern part of the tenement and is situated on the eastern flank of the interpreted 9km long synclinal structure. An Exploration Target of 27 to 37 million tonnes averaging between 1.3-1.4% zinc, 0.6- 0.7% lead, 9- 10g/t silver and 0.2-0.3% copper has been reported for Browns Reef. Eastern Metals' strategy to date has been to identify, based on previous drilling, areas within the Exploration Target envelope where higher grade zones of base metal mineralization may occur. The two principal higher grade target zones are shown in the long section. Drilling of the northern target area by Eastern Metals has resulted in the discovery of the Evergreen Zone. To date, Eastern Metals has drilled six diamond holes into this zone. All intersected base metal sulphide mineralization. Two additional holes were planned, but have been deferred due to heavy rains that have made access difficult. Both holes drilled in the current round of drilling intersected zones of significant zinc and lead sulphide mineralization, based on visual logging of drill core. Hole BRD020 intersected 6.4m of massive and disseminated sulphides from 198.4 to 204.8m down hole, and hole BRD021 intersected 9.1m of massive and disseminated sulphides from 293.5m to 302.6m down hole. Core from the mineralized intersections has been cut and sent to a laboratory for assay. It will not be until the assay results become available that the true significance of these intersections is known. A long section for that part of the Browns Reef deposit now known as the Evergreen Zone. This drawing shows pierce points for the six holes drilled to date by Eastern Metals in red, those drilled by other companies in yellow and green, and the two additional holes intended to be drilled by Eastern Metals as part of the current program but deferred due to difficult access conditions, in blue.

Eastern Metals Limited Announces First Drill Hole at Browns Reef Extends Lode At Depth Eastern Metals Limited announced that the first of four holes, BRD016, to be drilled in this initial campaign has now been completed with the intersection of massive and disseminated sulphide mineralisation in two significant intervals as set out above. Logging of core is progressing and samples will be submitted for assay shortly. Browns Reef lies 5km to the west of the town of Lake Cargelligo, approximately 470km west of Sydney. The area surrounding the Browns Reef base-metal deposit is utilised for agricultural purposes, including grazing and cropping. The known deposit at Browns Reef occupies a small part of the tenement. Most of the deeper drilling to date has been confined to a zone approximately 2.7km long in the central to southern part of the tenement and is situated on the eastern flank of the interpreted 9km long synclinal structure. This drawing also shows the location of the two high grade zones identified for further and more detailed follow-up drilling by Eastern Metals. The northern-most of these zones, defined by the historic hole BRD013, drilled by Kidman Resources, which returned an interval of 7.0 m averaging 5.5% Zn, 2.3% Pb, 0.5% Cu, 20.2 g/t Ag and 0.5 g/t Au, is the area being tested by the Company's current drilling program. This drawing also shows the location of the two high grade zones identified for further and more detailed follow-up drilling. The four red "dots" near BRD013 are the planned pierce points for the Company's current four hole drilling program, which is designed to test the northern of the two zones. The deep hole beneath the pierce point of BRD013 is the hole which has now been drilled, BRD016. This section shown the two massive and disseminated sulphide zones intersected over 3.0 m interval from 372.5 to 375.5 m down hole (estimated true width 1.8m), and the thicker intersection of 18.7m metres from 453.4m to 472.1m down hole (estimated true width 11.2m), which is interpreted to be the down-dip extension of the lode intersected previously in BRD013. Base metal sulphide minerals including sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite along with pyrite are present in the disseminated and massive sulphide zones. Although logging of the drill core from BRD016 has not yet been completed and assays are not yet available, the thick intersection from 453.4m to 472.1m down hole suggests the lode here potentially extends the depth extent of the deposit by at least 100 metres more than previously known, and possibly amore. It also suggests the lode may be thickening with increasing depth. Annuncio • Feb 01
