The Board of Sky Metals Limited ('SKY' or 'The Company') is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at the 3KEL Tin-Polymetallic Target at the Doradilla Tin-Polymetallic project in NSW.
DORADILLA project: TIN- polymetallic (EL 6258, SKY 100%)
3KEL Target - Diamond Drilling
Assays have now been received for 3KDD013; the first hole drilled in the most recent drilling program at the Doradilla Project. The hole was designed to test along strike additions to the 3KEL Target to the northeast and was targeted using 3D modelling of the mineralisation in combination with the detailed magnetic survey flown by SKY in 2020 (Figures 1, 3 and 4). 3KDD013 intercepted strong zinc mineralisation, results include:
3KDD013:
ForThis mineralisation represents the discovery of a previously unknown zinc sulphide zone and extends the strike of the 3KEL Target by 500m. As a result, the 3KEL Target now has a total strike length of over 2.5km. Zinc sulphide (sphalerite) mineralisation is typical in large and zoned tin systems such as the 3KEL Target and the discovery of strong zinc mineralisation is very promising for SKY's ongoing exploration. The limits and size of the new zinc zone are unknown and it is open in all directions. SKY is planning follow up drilling to continue to expand this strong mineralisation.
SKY Exploration Manager Oliver Davies commented "These strong results demonstrate the exciting potential of this large 3KEL Target and the polymetallic nature of the mineralisation along this broad strike length. SKY is very excited by the opportunity of 3KEL to be a large multicommodity target. SKY will continue to develop this exceptional system over the coming months with a combination of diamond and RC drilling planned to quickly progress this project."

targeted magnetic anomaly which indicated the continuity of the 3KEL Target along strike.
The second drill hole in this program, 3KDD014, intercepted strong visual UV fluorescent, potential tin mineralisation over at Forleast a 30m interval from approximately 151-189m (Figure 2). This visual mineralisation represents an 80m extension down
dip at depth of the large 3KEL Target below 3KRCD007 - assays are anticipated to be received by SKY in the next fortnight.
Drilling has also been completed on a third hole, 3KDD015, to further extend the strike to the southwest and test under a previous high-grade tin intercept from historic aircore drilling which intercepted 42m @ 1.02% tin from 0m (3KAC020). This hole is over 200m further along strike from any previous drilling by SKY and aims to increase the established and extensive strike at 3KEL - assays are pending.
Diamond drilling to expand the strike and depth extents of the 3KEL mineralisation has been temporarily suspended due to flooding in the Project area, however, drilling will recommence as soon as conditions allow. In addition to this current program, planning for a large infill RC program has commenced, currently anticipated to begin in early March.

When drilling recommences, diamond drillholes are planned to test depth extents to the high-grade tin mineralisation intercepted in 3KRC012, results include:

poor drilling conditions. A large diameter hole is planned to be drilled in the proximity of 3KRCD007 and 3KDD014 to provide sample for further metallurgical test work over the next few months.
