- Thick ferricrete rock best explored by reconnaissance air core drilling
Next Steps:
- Assay rockchip samples
- Submit Program of Work (POW) for air core drilling

- Secure air core drilling contractor
Pursuit Managing Director, Mark Freeman, said:
"Following our successful diamond drilling at Phil's Hill, field programs have started at the Anzac Hill area of E70/5378 now that crops have been harvested. The geology of the area is encouraging, and we look forward to starting air core drilling as soon as possible."

Warrior Project (100%)
Pursuit Minerals Limited (ASX:PUR) ("Pursuit" or the "Company") is pleased to announce field programs have started at the Anzac Hill area of the Calingiri West Project (Figure 1). The Anzac Hill area lies approximately 15km northeast of Chalice's Julimar Complex and less than 2km northwest of DevEx Resources' recent Ni-Cu sulphide discovery (see DevEx Announcement 10 November 2021) at the Sovereign Project (Figures 1 & 2).

The DevEx maiden diamond drilling results over their Sovereign Project encountered an extensive sequence of differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks, including gabbronorite, norite, pyroxenite and serpentinite. The presence of similar rock types has been confirmed at Anzac Hill (Figure 3).
In addition, DevEx reports broad intervals of low-grade disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation in diamond hole 21SVDD02, including several narrow (5-10cm) bands of matrix

textured iron nickel-coppersulphides. These results from DevEx provide Pursuit with strong endorsement of the prospectivity of the Anzac Hill Prospect to the northwest.
Recent field reconnaissance at Anzac Hill identified thick ferricrete across the Anzac Hill area, consequently the company will expedite exploration by conducting reconnaissance air core drilling instead of surface geochemistry. Since the Sovereign Magnetic Complex footprint (Figure 1) within the tenement is quite small reconnaissance drilling can be undertaken quickly and inexpensively.

Pursuit undertook an airborne VTEM survey in February 2021 over the Calingiri West tenement which was unsuccessful, thick ferricrete cover masking conductivity responses in the basement rocks beneath (refer figure 4 below). The Company will assess surface EM as well as gravity surveying as an additional tool to highlight underlying geology and identify additional prospective areas.

Competent Person's Statement
Statements contained in this announcement relating to exploration results, are based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr. Mathew Perrot, who is a Registered Practicing Geologist Member No 10167 and a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, Member No 2804. Mr. Perrot is a full-time employee the Company, as the Company's Exploration Manager and has sufficient relevant experience in relation to the mineralisation style being reported on to qualify as a Competent Person for reporting exploration results, as defined in the Australian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC) Code 2012. Mr Perrot consents to the use of this information in this announcement in the form and context in which it appears and holds shares in the company.
Forward looking statements
Statements relating to the estimated or expected future production, operating results, cash flows and costs and financial condition of Pursuit Minerals Limited's planned work at the Company's projects and the expected results of such work are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, forecasts, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements also include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. Information concerning exploration results and mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed.
These forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable at the time they are made, are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting from logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfil projections/expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company's projects; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests and the estimation of gold reserves and resources; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of environmental issues at the Company's projects; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work programs; the need to obtain permits and comply with environmental laws and regulations and other government requirements; fluctuations in the price of gold and other risks and uncertainties.
