The Company is pleased to provide an exploration update on its 100%-held Matthews Ridge Manganese Project.

A total of 122 trenches have been dug to date, with 13,791 meters excavated on Hills 1 to 9.

Diamond drilling is also progressing, with 7 rigs currently at work.

A total of 25,471 meters has been drilled in 376 holes, including 64 holes (approximately 4,000 m) which were re-drilled as a result of initial poor core recovery.

Analytical results from the balance of the trenching and drilling completed are still pending.
