The Board and management of Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX: ADN, Andromeda, the Company) is pleased to provide a summary of the Company's activities for the quarter ended 30 June 2022.

onlyGreat White Kaolin Project

Background

The Great White Kaolin Project (GWKP, the Project) comprises four Exploration Licences east of Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula (Figure 1). High quality halloysite-kaolin occurrences exist extensively across the Great White Kaolin Project area making this a region of global significance for the mineral and capable of supporting a considerable long-life mining operation.

useThe Project includes Great White, Hammerhead and Tiger Deposits as well as several additional exploration targets: Manta and Bronze Whaler.

Andromeda also holds a 100% interest in the Mount Hope Kaolin Project which is located approximately 160 km southeast of Great White and is earning into the Eyre Kaolin Project.

Marketing

A letter of intent was executed with IMCD Group, a global leader in the sales, marketing and distribution of specialty chemicals and ingredients. The letter of intent is in respect of a potential exclusivity to distribute concrete additive product produced from the GWKP into the Asia Pacific market. This is a high value product, patented by Andromeda which has already been tested under the Australian concrete standards for use. Further discussions are underway to progress this to a binding offtake arrangement.

ForSubsequent to the end of the quarter the Company signed a legally binding offtake supply term sheet (Agreement) with Asia Mineral Resources Limited (AMR) to supply its Great White KCMTM90 product from the Great White Kaolin Project subject to standard conditions precedent.

The binding Agreement is for up to 38,500t of Great White KCMTM90 over the first three years of operations at a price in excess of the Definitive Feasibility Study pricing. Under the Agreement there will be price reviews every 12 months and automatic extension for ongoing years subject to agreement.

Discussions on other offtake agreements which will diversify our customer base are progressing.

Project Site

The Company completed the DFS and released it to the market (refer ADN ASX announcement dated 6 April 2022 "Great White Kaolin Project - Definitive Feasibility Study").

Since the release of the DFS, efforts have centred around the following main activities:

only

Progressing the PEPR for stages 1 and 2 of GWKP;

Gaining land access; and

Optimising the design for the first phase of construction

The key focus has been to progress the PEPR covering Stage 1 & 2 of the DFS, including supporting management and rehabilitation plans in readiness for submission.

useDiscussions to finalise the in-principal land access agreement are progressing.

Following release of the DFS, optimisation of engineering design continued with a focus on Stage 1. Engineering works have concentrated on finalising the selection of long lead items, optimisation of the flow sheet, and preparing plans for project execution.

Key stakeholder engagement continued, including two community drop-in days held and Poochera and at Streaky Bay to discuss the Company's proposed compliance methods as well as employment

personaland business opportunities.

Streaky Bay Pilot Plant

The pilot plant successfully produced new samples for distribution to potential offtake partners.

Following delays caused by lockdowns in China, a new drum washer for the pilot plant has been procured and is now enroute to Australia. The new drum washer will enable larger samples to be produced to support sales and marketing, product development as well as flow-sheet confirmation and optimisation (Figure 3).
