Rights Issue to raise up to $4.6M to advance Fountain Head Gold Project

  • Non-renounceableEntitlement Offer to eligible shareholders to raise up to $4.6 million before costs and expenses
  • Existing substantial shareholders, including DELPHI, have confirmed their intention to take-up entitlements
  • Capital Raising to support ongoing development activities at PNX's 100% owned Fountain Head Gold Project, and continue with near-mine and regional exploration

PNX Metals Limited (ASX: PNX) ("PNX", "the Company") is pleased to announce that it is offering eligible shareholders the opportunity to acquire New Shares at $0.005 (0.5 cents) per share through a one (1) for four (4) non-renounceablepro-rata rights issue to raise up to $4.6 million (before costs and expenses) ("Entitlement" or "Offer"). Full details of the Offer are set out in the Offer Memorandum and Appendix 3B lodged with ASX today. The Offer Memorandum will be sent to Eligible Shareholders on 31 January 2022.

Existing substantial shareholders, including DELPHI Unternehmensberatung Aktiengesellschaft ("DELPHI"), have confirmed their intention to take-up their entitlements.

The significant ongoing support shown by existing key shareholders is a strong endorsement of the Company's strategy to sequentially develop its 100% owned Fountain Head gold and Hayes Creek zinc-gold-silver Projects ("Projects").

Proceeds of the Offer will be used to continue with exploration and development activities at PNX's Northern territory Projects, located in the Pine Creek region, 170 km from Darwin (refer ASX release 20 December 2021 for a recent Project update, and below for Use of Funds)

Near-mine exploration at Glencoe has already recommenced with three diamond drill-holes, and planning is underway for a larger Reverse Circulation program which will start after the NT wet season when ground conditions improve. The aim is to build on the successful 2021 drilling campaign where near-surfacehigh-grade gold mineralisation was drilled over a 1.4 km strike extent (refer ASX release 14 January 2022), and will also include an update to the Mineral Resource. Regional exploration will re-commence to test new exploration targets with the potential to host additional gold resources identified during a recent geological review of the Company's significant NT exploration portfolio.

Managing Director's Comments

PNX Managing Director James Fox said: "The support received so far by the Company for the Rights Issue is a strong endorsement of the quality of PNX's Northern Territory exploration and development assets that include the 100% owned Fountain Head gold and Hayes Creek zinc-gold-silver Projects. We would like to thank existing shareholders for their continued support.

With Government and Environmental approvals well advanced, this funding will see the Company through an exciting period of activity. An updated mineral Resource at Glencoe is due later this Quarter, and diamond drilling at has already re-commenced. A larger reverse circulation drill program will start as soon as possible to build on

the excellent results announced so far, and aims to extend the near-surfacehigh-grade gold footprint at Glencoe beyond the 1.4 km already drilled.
