Important Notice

This Presentation

The information in this presentation (Presentation) has been prepared by Woomera Mining Limited (Company).

The mineral tenements of the Company as described in this Presentation (Tenements) are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral

exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will

result in the discovery of economic ore deposits.

Cautionary Statement and Further Disclosures About Mt Venn

➢ The Exploration Results for the Mt Venn Project have been reported by the former owner CAZ rather than the acquirer WML;

➢ The Exploration Results may not conform to the requirements in the JORC Code 2012;

➢ WML directs investors to the cautionary statement below about the reliability of the Exploration Results;

➢ WML at this time continues to evaluate the exploration work that needs to be completed to report the Exploration Results in accordance with the JORC Code 2012;

➢ The proposed timing of any evaluation and/or exploration work that WML intends to undertake is set out in the Exploration Timeline on slide 17 and WML intends to fund that work

Mt Venn – High Grade Gold Anomalies

5

Mt Venn Gold Project Cont.

➢ Recent drilling conducted by CAZ at Three Bears intercepted gold

mineralisation of very wide zones up to 40m thick

➢ Mineralised zones included intercepts of 12m @ 1.19g/t Au,

40m @ 0.36g/t Au & 36m @ 0.47g/t Au1

➢ Several high-grade gold anomalies that have not been drilled:

▪ Chapman’s Reward: sampling from pit walls and dump

material by the State Prospecting Party (“SPP”) returned

assays up to 201g/t Au2

▪ Lang’s Find: rock chip samples conducted by SPP returned

assays up to 208g/t Au2

▪ Mount Cumming: rock chip sampling conducted by Elmina

between 1995 – 1997 returned 8.4g/t Au3

▪ Jutson Rocks: rock chip sampling conducted by Elmina

between 1995 – 1997 returned 20.5g/t Au3

Nickel-Copper & Platinum Group Element (“PGE”) Targets

➢ Tholeiitic basalts with concordant intrusions of pyroxenite, gabbro and

dolerite, known as the Mount Warren Sill and Mount Cornell Sill,

which comprise the Mount Cumming Mafic Complex

➢ In 2010-12 airborne geophysics (VTEM) by Global Nickel Investments

NL generated anomalies, followed up with ground EM surveys

➢ Soil and rock chip sampling define anomalous PGEs over a 5km

strike within the Mount Warren Sill. Soil sampling identified an

additional PGE anomaly within the Mount Cornell Sill

➢ These anomalies represent “walk up” drill targets for the project

Mt Venn – Magnetics and Soils

Mt Venn Gold Project - recent work

➢ Good regional geophysical & geochemical

databases generated by previous explorers –

solid base to work from

➢ Global Metals Exploration conducted regional

soil sampling and auger, RAB, Aircore and RC

drilling. Airborne magnetics & radiometrics and

airborne and ground EM

➢ Only two geochemical anomalies followed up

with shallow drilling (≤.50m)

➢ Great majority of widespread gold in soil/auger

anomalies remain untested

➢ CAZ instigated work in 2017 drilling some

specific gold and base metal targets

Detailed reassessment and analysis of existing data plus recent re-processing of geophysics by CAZ has highlighted key areas of

focus with district-scale gold targets generated

Three Bears Gold Target

➢ Exploration defined a major, +5km corridor of coincident, soil, auger &

historic drilling anomalism at Three Bears

➢ CAZ drilled at Three Bears intersecting wide gold zones up to 40m

thick

➢ Mineralised zones included intercepts of 12m @ 1.19g/t Au, 40m

Mt Venn – Other Gold targets

8

Chapman’s Reward - high grade drill target with visible gold that has never been drilled

➢ First discovery of gold reported in 1923 by the SPP discovery of several existing pits

➢ Numerous high-grade quartz veins up to 5m in width carrying fine visible gold

➢ Sampling from pit walls and dump material by the SPP returned assays up to 201g/t Au1

➢ From 1925, a total of 26.65 ounces of gold was recovered from 15.24 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 54.39 g/t

Lang’s Find - high grade drill target with visible gold

➢ Rock chip samples conducted by SPP returned assays up to 208g/t Au1

➢ Adjacent soil anomalies have never been drilled

Mount Cumming

➢ During 1995 to 1997 Elmina undertook rock chip sampling. All of these samples were associated with quartz veins in outcrop areas at Jutson

Rocks (20.5g/t and 15.8g/t)2 and Mount Cumming (8.4g/t Au, 3.2% Cu and 3g/t Ag)2

➢ During 1996, a regional soil sampling (1000m by 250m grid) was completed by Elmina which identified two large anomalous areas (Lang’s Find

and Mount Cumming) and several small anomalies

➢ Infill soil sampling the following year (500m by 100m grid) identified four main anomalous clusters, located at Lang’s Find, south-west of Mount

Cumming, west of Rutter’s Soak and east of Mount Scott

➢ Most of the gold assays occurred in the 3 to 20ppb range, with the highest value of 720ppb being located 250m east of the above rock chip sample

of 8.4g/t Au at Mount Cumming2

None of the adjacent geochemical soil anomalies to Mount Cumming have been drilled.

Musgrave Alcurra-Tieyon Project Tenements

TMI VRMI

VRMI shows remarkable fit

Musgrave Alcurra-Tieyon Project

➢ Four tenements covering 3,063km2 prospective for nickel, copper, cobalt,

gold, silver-lead-zinc, PGE and rare earths

➢ Recent discoveries in western Musgrave: Oz Minerals & Cassini

Resources Joint Venture Nebo-Babel (203Mt @ 0.41% Ni 0.42% Cu)

and Metals X Wingellina (187 Mt @ 1% Ni)

➢ Numerous anomalies identified from geophysics and government drilling

Giles Complex ultramafic / mafic intrusives with good potential for

magmatic Ni-Cu-Co deposits

➢ Rocks have highly variable magnetic signatures, primarily due to the

remanent components of the ultramafic / mafic intrusives. WML has

applied the VRMI transform to compensate for the remanence observed

in the TMI

➢ The below images using data from the 1994 CRAE survey show the TMI

on the left highlight large areas where there is a change to the apparent

susceptibility

➢ Fourier function is derived to fit the TMI surface so that the orthogonal

components of the TMI can be extracted at any point of the TMI surface

Musgrave Alcurra-Tieyon Project Cont.

➢ NTMA signed

➢ Ethnographic Survey completed in June 2018

➢ RC drilling at Gallagher, Healy and Walsh returned anomalous

nickel-copper-cobalt

Cavanagh Drill Target

➢ Strong remanent magnetism at Cavanagh

➢ The reverse dipole as observed in the TMI was investigated by

CRAE around 1995 with a single RC drill hole which returned

high assay values of Ni, Cr, Co, Cu and Pd

➢ Using 3D Inversion methods and VRMI filters WML has

modelled the magnetically susceptible body that causes the

dipole
