For
Surface grab samples, collected along the Ngongo- Yoyo Trend ('NYT') within permit G5-555 (Appendix 1), have confirmed the presence of outcropping high- MgO ultramafic intrusions with magmatic sulphide mineralisation. These results extend the Company's prospective trend, incorporating the LMT and NYT, to more than 60km.

usepersonalCommenting on the Company's activities during the quarter, Armada's s Managing Director & CEO, Dr Ross McGowan, said:
"This quarter has been another period of significant activity for the Company, including the completion of the Company's Phase 1 drilling program and the delivery of exciting technical results at the Nyanga Project. These results further demonstrate the potential of the Project to host magmatic nickel-copper sulphides in this highly prospective province.
"In addition, the recent results from surface-grab samples along the Ngongo-Yoyo Trend ('NYT') within permit G5-555, demonstrate the exciting opportunity of the Company to potentially unlock a larger trend for over 60km, as well as other targets within our larger ground holding. Together with the positive results from our Phase 1 drilling program, announced recently, this is a significant development for our exploration for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides and for the scale of the Nyanga Project.
"We look forward to another successful quarter ahead as we continue to rapidly advance exploration in Gabon." For

onlyPHASE 1 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
As announced to the ASX on 21 June 2022, the Phase 1 diamond drill program was completed with a total of 3,240m having been drilled in ten drill holes at the Libonga North, Matchiti Central and Libonga South targets (refer Table 1, Figure 3 and Appendices 1-2).

Drill core from the ten holes has been reviewed and geologically logged and interpreted (3,240m) (see section - Initial Interpretation). 89 percent of the drill core intersected magmatic rocks. The primary mineralogy is plagioclase- clinopyroxene-olivine, forming gabbros, clinopyroxenites and wehrlites.
All the holes display pervasive actinolite-tremolite alteration based in visual logging. There is evidence for the intrusions being emplaced in non-metamorphosed country rocks which has released formational liquids that may be absorbed into the intrusions causing extensive contamination and the creation of hybrid rocks (e.g., the introduction of phlogopite is common). In Hole LBNDD002, the basal formation is intensely contaminated hybrid gabbro with phlogopite and garnet
Forin some zones and significant local mineralisation intervals up to 20-40% matrix sulphides (Appendix 3 provides field definitions).
Mineralisation occurs as disseminations, blebs, veinlets, matrix sulphide, massive stringers (primary mineralisation) and wisps and blebs with feldspathic veins (refer to Figures 4-12), with a typical magmatic assemblage of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
