ASX RELEASE | 27 APRIL 2022 | ASX:OM1

OMNIA REACHES MAJOR MILESTONE WITH EXECUTION OF HERITAGE AGREEMENTS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Omnia signs Heritage Protection Agreements with the Malarngowem and Purnululu Native Title groups in Western Australia.

  • The Heritage Protection Agreements pave the way for the first exploration on the Western Australian tenure in 26 years.

  • Geophysics contractors engaged to commence data acquisition immediately upon receipt of final approvals.

  • Recently completed field trip identifies further surficial copper-stained rocks and mafic intrusive units.

Omnia Metals Group Ltd ("Omnia" or "Company") is pleased to announce it has successfully negotiated and signed Heritage Protection Agreements ("HPA") with the Malarngowem and Purnululu people for its 100% owned Ord Basin Project (the "Project"), located 140km south of Kununurra. The HPA are related to the Company's Western Australian tenure (EL80/5353 & ELA80/5630) with negotiations facilitated and overseen by the Kimberley Land Council Aboriginal Corporation ("KLCAC").

The successful negotiation of the HPA is a key milestone for the Company as it paves the way for tenement grant and a significant exploration push in a district that has been dormant for 30 years.

Omnia Metals' Executive Director, James Warren, commented:

"We have been in discussions with the Traditional Owners and their representative body for nearly 12 months, so the execution of this agreement highlights the close working relationship we are establishing with the local communities. The Ord Basin Project also has the potential to lead to improved community engagement and employment opportunities for the Malarngowem and Purnululu people who live in the region.

"The signing of the HPA is a significant step forward for Omnia and marks the beginning of our extensive and sustained exploration strategy that we will execute over the coming years. We have engaged the world's largest geophysical contractors to complete gravity and electromagnetic surveys, as soon as we receive the final approvals, so we're really excited about unlocking the potential of Ord Basin Project."

Following an initial site visit conducted in October 2021 (refer OM1 ASX Release 30 th March 2022), the Company recently completed additional, helicopter assisted, reconnaissance mapping and sampling over the remainder of the key target areas of the Ord Basin Project (Figure 1) with samples enroute to the laboratory for full suite multi-element analysis and results expected in 4-6 weeks.

The next stage of exploration at the Ord Basin Project will comprise aerial magnetic, gravity and electromagnetic ("EM") surveys, geological mapping and methodical surface geochemistry. The initialwork programs will be followed by ground-based EM surveys and a maiden drilling campaign in H2 2022.

At the Caves Prospect, the contact between the APV and Headleys Limestone outcrops over an area of approximately 90m x 180m before dipping undercover. Abundant malachite mineralisation, associated with high-grade Cu-Ag mineralisation, is observed to be associated with dark grey to black brecciated or fragmental sideritic masses, which directly overlie the top basalt of the APV, and mineralised agglomerate or amygdaloidal flow tops of the APV (Figure 2).

About the Ord Basin Project

The Ord Basin Project comprises a 1,305 km2 tenement package located ~ 140 km south of Kununurra. Access is via the unsealed Duncan Road and to the west, the Great Northern Highway is a major arterial road that services numerous mining operations in the Kimberley region.

The Ord Basin Project is situated in a rapidly emerging district prospective for Michigan-style stratigraphic copper and Norilsk-style nickel copper-PGE mineral systems.

At the Caves Prospect, historical mapping and sampling completed in 1969 identified outcropping mineralisation over an area of approximately 90m x 180m before dipping under cover.

ABOUT OMNIA

Omnia Metals Group Ltd (ASX:OM1) is focussed on exploring for future facing commodities used in advanced technologies, with a focus on nickel, copper and platinum group elements.

Omnia's primary focus is 1,305km2 of tenure in the highly Ord Basin Project, which is situated in a rapidly emerging district prospective for Norilsk-style nickel-copper-PGE and stratigraphic copper mineral systems. Historical exploration has been limited in the region, as such the Ord Basin Project represents a district scale, greenfields exploration opportunity.

Omnia's exploration strategy is to complete high-powered electromagnetic and ground gravity geophysical surveys, which will be complimented by regional geochemical sampling, to delineate high-priority drill targets. Following initial geophysical and geochemical surveys, Omnia plans to complete its maiden drilling campaign in H2 2022.
