Sama drilled a total of 20 drill holes for 8,768 meters ('m') in 2021, including 5 holes at Yepleu for 2,766 m, 7 holes at the Samapleu deposit, including hole S-312 returning a combined 17.50 m at 1.87% nickel ('Ni'), 1.05% copper ('Cu') and 1.64 grams per tonne ('gpt') of palladium ('Pd'), and 7 holes at the Grata discovery for 2,921 m. Hole GR-04 drilled at the Grata discovery intersected 141m of continuous mineralization including near surface intervals of 6.40 m and 6.60 m grading 1.05% Ni -1.28% Cu & 0.48 gpt Pd and 0.73% Ni - 0.38% Cu & 0.30 gpt Pd respectively.

The mineralization at Grata is similar in composition to the Samapleu deposit but shows a larger proportion of chalcopyrite and therefore a higher copper to nickel ratio. This relationship between copper and nickel is particularly evident in the GR-06 mineralized zones.
The Company is looking at increasing mineral resources at Samapleu and Grata for a future surface mining operation as well as searching for massive sulphide veins and lenses that could have accumulated at depth in traps and embayments along the feeder system of the
