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 completed its partial asset sale and joint venture
transaction with GreenTech Metals Ltd, under which Alien has divested a 70%
interest in the Munni Munni tenements to GreenTech and Alien will retain a 30%
interest, free carried to the completion of a bankable feasibility study at
Munni Munni. Alien (via wholly owned subsidiary A.C.N. 643 478 371 Pty Ltd)
also retains a 30% interest in the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project through a
joint venture with Crest, which encompasses the Elizabeth Hill Mining Lease
M47/342, which has produced some of Australia's highest-grade silver ore
during the late 1990s.
