Notes to Editors

Alien Metals Ltd is a mining exploration and development company listed on the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM: UFO). The Company follows a
balanced strategy of advancing and strengthening its asset portfolio through
targeted technical work and project development, while evaluating
partnerships, joint ventures, and selective monetisation opportunities that
are value-enhancing for shareholders. At the same time, Alien will continue to
consider opportunities to expand our asset base through carefully selected
acquisition opportunities which meet the Board's prudent criteria.

 

Alien's principal focus is the advancement and development of its 90%-owned
Hancock Iron Ore Project in the central Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The Hancock tenements contain a JORC-compliant resource of 8.4Mt at 60% Fe and
offer significant exploration upside, which is targeted to deliver a mining
operation of 2Mtpa for 10 years. The Project benefits from direct access to
the Great Northern Highway, providing a route to export facilities at Port
Hedland, one of the world's largest iron ore export hubs. Alien also holds
exploration interests in the Brockman and Vivash iron ore projects in the West
Pilbara.

 

Alien additionally retains exposure to two advanced precious and base metal
assets in the Pilbara. At Munni Munni, one of Australia's largest PGM systems
hosting a historic resource of 2.2Moz PGM (Palladium, Platinum, and Rhodium)
and gold, the Company has entered into a conditional joint venture with
GreenTech Metals Ltd, under which Alien will retain a 30% interest, free
carried to the completion of a bankable feasibility study. Alien also retains
a 30% interest in the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project through a joint venture
with West Coast Silver Limited, which encompasses Elizabeth Hill Mining Lease
and exploration tenements surrounding the historical silver mine, which has
produced some of Australia's highest-grade silver ore during the late 1990s.

The Elizabeth Hill Project

 

Elizabeth Hill is historically one of Australia's highest grade silver
projects and has a proven production history outlined below:

 

•   High grades enabled low processing tonnes: 1.2Moz of silver was
produced from just 16,830t of ore at a head grade of 2,194g/t (70.5 oz/t
Ag)(( 1  (#_ftn1) )).

•   Previous mining operation ceased in 2000: because of low silver prices
(US$5)(( 2  (#_ftn2) )).

•   Simplistic historical processing technique: native silver was
recovered via low-cost gravity separation techniques.

•   Untapped potential remains in ground with deposit open at depth and
recent consolidation of land package offers potential to discover more
Elizabeth Hill style deposits.

•  Tier 1 Mining Jurisdiction located on a mining lease with potential
processing option at the nearby Radio Hill site. Radio Hill is a
third-party-owned processing facility; WCE has no current agreement in place.

Figure 3: Tenement Location

 

Through the consolidation of the surrounding land packages into a single
contiguous 180km(2) package significant exploration and growth potential
exists both near mine and regionally. The land package holds a significant
portion of the Munni Munni fault system, and other fault systems subparallel
to the Munni Munni fault system, which are considered prospective for
Elizabeth Hill look-a-like silver deposits.
