PVW Resources ('PVW', "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on rare earth and gold assay results received from the field program completed in October 2021 at the Tanami REE/Gold project. The field program completed in October included rock chip sampling, reconnaissance geological mapping, soil sampling and ground radiometrics at the Killi Killi East and Watts Rise prospects. Results are still pending for the soil sampling program however assays have been received for the 23 rock chip samples, 20 of which were from Killi Killi East, one from Watts Rise and two from regional sampling. Figures 2 and 5 below show the location of the samples at Killi Killi East and Watts Rise.

Executive Director Mr George Bauk said, "These results continue to confirm the huge potential for Heavy Rare Earth mineralisation at the Killi Killi Project. The exploration team continues to define Heavy Rare Earth mineralisation along the 18km corridor and now have identified two priority drill target areas with strike lengths of at least 800m at Killi Kill East 2 and 500m at Killi Killi East 1."

"Following the receipt of soil samples and the geophysical interpretation of recent airborne surveys, the team will finalise the maiden drill program which is being prepared to commence in April following the northern wet season. The significant number of high- grade rock chip samples provide PVW with a large number of walk up targets in an emerging rare earths province."

"Whilst the results continue to deliver significant presence of Heavy Rare Earths including dysprosium and terbium, we have also seen some significant numbers for neodymium and praseodymium which are all critical in the permanent magnets."

As follow-up to the rock chip sampling program conducted at the Tanami Project in August 2021, results of which were announced on 13 October 2021 (ASX:PVW - "Confirmation of high-gradeHeavy Rare Earths at Tanami"), a second program of rock chip sampling was completed in October 2021. Of the 20 samples taken at the Killi Killi East prospect, 12 have returned assays greater than 1% TREO with the average ratio of Heavy Rare Earths (HRE*) to TREO for these samples being 76% (see Table 1 and Figure 3 below). This dominance of heavy rare earths is related to the rare earth mineral xenotime. The presence of xenotime at Killi Killi East and Watts Rise was confirmed by the mineralogical studies completed by PVW, details of which were released on 7 January 2022 in the ASX announcement titled "Mineralogy confirms Heavy Rare Earths contained in xenotime mineralisation at the Tanami HRE Project - Additional Information".

The new sampling results have now outlined a drill target with high-grade surface mineralisation occurring over an approximate strike length of 800m at Killi Killi East 1 and at least 500m at Killi Killi East 2 (see Figure 2 below). The REE mineralisation predominantly occurs within the Pargee Sandstone close to the unconformity with the underlying older Killi Killi Formation. Significantly, the most recent assay results have returned REE mineralisation from what is interpreted to be brecciated and altered Killi Killi Formation (samples TARK0030, 0031, 0032). This suggests there is potential for mineralisation within the Killi Killi Formation and hence a significantly more extensive target than previously thought.

Three of the rock chip samples from Killi Killi East 2 also returned anomalous gold assays with assays of 3.13 g/t, 1.33 g/t and 0.58g/t Au (samples TARK0033, 0041, 0042). These samples were taken as follow-up to the gold assays of up to 8.94g/t and 4.43g/t Au from the August sampling program, with gold mineralisaton occurring in the Pargee Sandstone / conglomerate proximal to the unconformity. All the samples discussed above are selective in nature with a high potential for bias and should not be considered as being representative of the overall mineralised structure or zone.

A new interpretation of geophysical data from the Watts Rise-Killi Killi East trend is nearing completion which will assist in drill targeting of the 18km long Pargee Sandstone - Killi Killi unconformity. Drilling is planned to commence in April at both Watts Rise and Killi Killi East, focused on the surface REE mineralisation identified to date as well as regional conceptual drill targets. Preliminary metallurgical studies are also currently underway with results expected in March.

Killi Killi East

The rare earth mineralisation occurs mostly within a basal conglomerate unit of the Pargee Sandstone. Where mineralised, the conglomerate unit is often strongly hematitic but also displays silicification and brecciation in places. Field evidence suggests the mineralisation is both structurally and lithologically controlled. Cross-cutting structures possibly act as structural traps for mineralisation along this trend, with the basal conglomerate unit providing a suitable lithochemical host. Potential for REE mineralisation hosted within the Killi Killi Formation has also now been recognized. The drill program for Killi Killi East will be finalized once the geochemical soil sampling results have been received however the current rock chip results and geological mapping have defined drill targets of at least 800m and 500m strike length at Killi Killi East 1 and 2 respectively (see Figure 2 above).

Watts Rise

The Watts Rise prospect is located approximately 12km northwest of Killi Killi East. Only two rock chip samples were taken there in the October 2021 field program, one of which was a barren sample of Pargee Sandstone, for lithogeochemical purposes. The other sample returned an assay of 2.54% TREO which was proximal to a sample of 3.9% TREO taken in the August 2021 field program. The rare earth mineralisation at Watts Rise also occurs within a basal conglomerate unit of the Pargee Sandstone, close to the unconformity with the Killi Killi Formation (see Figure 5 below). The drill program for Watts Rise will be finalised once the geochemical soil sampling results have been received.
