Metaliko Resources Limited (ASX: MKO) ('Metaliko' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce assay results from recent Reverse Circulation ('RC') drilling at the flagship Yandal Gold Project ('YGP') in Western Australia. The company has been actively exploring historic deposits and new prospects within the +800km2 project that includes the 2.3 Mtpa Bronzewing CIL/CIP treatment facility ('BZW') (Figure 1).
The new drilling tested several advanced exploration prospects and was part of the same program that extended and confirmed known mineralisation at the Corboys Gold Deposit (refer ASX announcement dated 30 September 2015). New results at the Woorana and Mt Joel 4800N Prospects are considered highly encouraging as a number of shallow high-grade hits have been encountered. Geological interpretations are currently under review for all prospects tested to date.
Of particular importance is the correlation of the recent drilling to the historic drilling in terms of location, duplication and accuracy. Metaliko is targetting 3-5 million tonnes of mill feed to recommission the BZW plant and there is potential to source this from a number of prospects concurrently.

YGP - Woorana Prospect
At the Woorana Prospect located ~25km to the southeast of BZW, shallow high grade gold assays were returned from RC drilling (16 holes for 452m). The holes were planned to extend and confirm historic mineralisation and follow-up on promising results returned from holes WRC1501-1519 drilled earlier by MKO (refer ASX announcements dated 9 & 17 June 2015).
These results confirmed the high-grade narrow nature of the prospect and further exploratory drilling is warranted at depth. Best downhole 1m intercepts include;
3m @ 5.15g/t Au from 2m in hole WRC1512 including;
1m @ 12.35g/t Au from 3m;
1m @ 43.20g/t Au from 12m in hole WRC1525;
2m @ 15.75g/t Au from 5m in hole WRC1526 including;
1m @ 21.10g/t Au from 5m;
5m @ 6.43g/t Au from 14m in hole WRC1531 including;
2m @ 15.08g/t Au from 16m.
Figure 2: Woorana Prospect Plan Showing Historic and Recent Drill Hole Collars (New holes in red)
The holes were drilled between 15-30m deep and targeted supergene oxide, quartz vein and shear hosted mineralisation identified from previous RC and RAB/AC regolith drilling. To date mineralisation has been defined in narrow semi-continuous zones for over 700m of strike and it is affected by localised depletion and supergene enrichment zones.
In addition to the above prospect, several other areas along the Woorana trend have previously demonstrated encouraging and extensive amounts of near surface, gold mineralisation. New POW's have been lodged in anticipation of further drill testing. A full list of Woorana Prospect RC drilling 1m significant assays (>0.50g/t Au) and collar details are included in Table 1 and a plan of the drilling is included as Figure 2.
YGP - Mt Joel 4800N Prospect
The Mt Joel 4800N Prospect is located ~20km northeast of BZW (Figure 1) on Mining Lease M53/295 and is 70% owned by Metaliko and 30% owned by Mr Mark Creasy. Mr Creasy is free-carried to a 'Decision To Mine' whereby he can elect to contribute or dilute to a royalty. Fifteeen new RC holes were drilled at the prospect comprising 793m at depths ranging from 24-77m downhole.

METALIKO RESOURCES
MT JOEL HISTORIC DRILLING
At Mt Joel there are a number of historic prospects that have received significant and often intense exploration drilling and resulted in at least two moderate-grade, unclassified deposits as shown in Figure 3.
To date Metaliko hasn't conducted enough confirmatory exploration activity on the prospects to meet the JORC Code Guidelines to quote the historic resources. Mt Joel 4800N comprises supergene gold within saprolitic clays overlying a sub-vertical stockwork vein system.
Drilling from this current program has intersected some encouraging results requiring follow-up to determine the significance in an overall resource context. Best results include;
8m @ 2.38g/t Au from 42m in hole MJRC1502;
5m @ 4.96g/t Au from 23m in hole MJRC1504;
1m @ 7.95/t Au from 39m in hole MJRC1508 and;
15m @ 5.13g/t Au from 43m including;

YGP - Fat Lady Prospect
The Fat Lady Prospect is located ~20kms north of the Bronzewing Treatment Plant (Figure 1). The prospect is subject to the same joint venture agreement with Mr Creasy (70/30) as the Mt Joel Prospects.
Seven holes for 440m between 30-102m depth were drilled to confirm and extend previously identified mineralisation. Results were generally as expected with multiple low to moderate grade intercepts within broader zones of lower grade gold (>0.30g/t and
Due to the near surface and potentially large, low-grade bulk tonnages , the prospect has potential to be developed as a satellite operation and utilise a crush/screen/heap leach process route. Significant savings would be made by utilising the gold extraction and crushing facilities at the BZW plant. Sighter metallurgical testwork has been commissioned. A full list of Fat Lady Prospect RC drilling 1m significant assays (>0.30g/t Au) and collar details are included in Table 1 and a plan of the drilling is included as Figure 4.
Best intercepts from the current program included;
11m @ 0.81g/t Au from 0m in hole FLRC1506;
20m @ 0.69g/t Au from 53m in hole FLRC1508 including;
1m @ 2.18g/t Au from 57m and;

1m @ 2.35g/t Au from 20m and;
3m @ 2.26g/t Au from 28m.
YGP - Anomaly 45 Prospect
The Anomaly 45 Prospect is located ~12km southwest of BZW (Figure 1) and broad intercepts of oxide gold mineralisation had been returned from earlier programs. The current program comprised five holes for 534m to downhole depths of between 88-130m. Best downhole intercepts included;
14m @ 1.46g/t Au from 72m in hole ARC1514 including;
7m @ 2.04g/t Au from 77m;
18m @ 1.44g/t Au from 72m in hole ARC1516 including;
7m @ 1.71g/t Au from 72m and;
9m @ 1.43g/t Au from 81m.
The holes at Anomaly 45 were designed to confirm and extend previously identified mineralisation and support the compilation of a JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate. The new results confirm broadly continuous intercepts of low to moderate grades that have the potential to be mined via open pit methods. Like the Fat Lady Prospect, the size and extent of the low grade gold mineralisation (e.g. 0.3 - 1.0 g/t) is consistent with a potential heap leach scenario. Higher grade ore would likely be treated via the CIL process. A full review of the Anomaly 45 exploration results and metallurgy is underway.
A full list of Anomaly 45 Prospect RC drilling 1m significant assays (>0.50g/t Au) and collar details are included in Table 1 and a plan of the drilling is included as Figure 5.
Further discussion and details of approved follow-up work programs to advance the YGP towards recommencement of production will be released as they come to hand.

About Metaliko Resources Limited
Metaliko acquired the Yandal Project in 2014 which included the Bronzewing 2.3mtpa capacity CIP/CIL plant, associated infrastructure, historic open pit and underground mines, numerous historic resources/prospects, an extensive geological database and Yandal exploration tenements. The Yandal tenements have produced >3.5 million ounces of gold from a number of deposits with processing at the Bronzewing plant in the period 1988 - 2013.
Strong potential remains at the Yandal Project to extend existing resources and make new economic disoveries. Metaliko's immediate focus is:
An extensive reassessment of the historical data base.
Consolidate tenement holdings - Third Parties.
Commence targeted exploration programs.
Exploration will be aimed at making new significant gold discoveries.
Assess resources close to surface for potential early cash flow opportunities.
Assess current plant inventory and identify items that are surplus to requirements.
To realise the value of existing Kalgoorlie based resources and tenements by either progressing to mining via JV's and toll treatment or by farm-in on the large tenement holding in the Eastern Goldfields.
When mining and milling operations were last active over a 2.5 year period up until 2013 the Bronzewing plant operated at nameplate capacity treating ~5.3Mt of primary ore. The plant is on care and maintenance and remains in excellent condition.
