*Please note that the Mineral Resource is defined in US short tons (2,000lb) and not metric tonnes.
- Cautionary Note - National Instrument 43-101 is a national instrument for the Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects within Canada. The Mineral Resources stated are foreign estimates and are not reported in accordance with JORC Code. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimates as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC Code. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign estimates will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC Code. In order to verify the foreign estimate as a mineral resource in accordance with Appendix 5A of the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules, the Company intends to undertake a detailed audit of all the available data to verify the previous work and convert the foreign estimate to a JORC Mineral Resource compliant estimate. The Company notes that the Canadian NI43-101 Standards of Disclosure system is broadly comparable to the JORC Code of reporting, and whilst the reporting methodologies are different, the actual mineral resources themselves are unlikely to be significantly different. ASX Release,
"Transformational Transaction to acquire high-grade zinc, copper and gold project", 9 August 2019" outlines compliance with
Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules Chapter 5.12.

BLUE MOON PROJECT
Tenement wide exploration potential
- Extent of the alteration indicates a large mineralising system may extend south of the current resource
- Geophysical anomalies along strike
- Untested trend of coincident soil and geophysical anomalies
- Blue sky potential to multiple "Blue Moon" style deposit on strike as VMS deposits are often found in clusters
PLATINA RESOURCES ASX: PGM SLIDE / 10
BLUE MOON PROJECT
Simple metallurgy
- 1988 Lakefield Research* results indicated potential:
- High zinc recoveries and concentrate grades
- High copper recoveries into concentrates containing gold and silver
- Low iron and deleterious elements in the zinc concentrate
- Conventional flowsheet to produce clean zinc and copper concentrates
- Coarse grained sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena results in easy separation of the economic minerals at high metallurgical recoveries

Notes:
- Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves until they have demonstrated economic viability based on a Feasibility Study or Pre- feasibility Study;
- The contained Au represents estimated contained metal in the ground and has not been adjusted for metallurgical recovery;
- AuEq = Au + Pt + (Pdx0.4); where the gold price is US$1,400/oz and the platinum price is US$1,400/oz and the palladium price is US$560/oz;
- The metal equivalent calculation assumes 100% metallurgical recovery;
- Cut-offgrade = 1g/t AuEq;
- Minimum thickness = 1m; parts below 1m thickness have been diluted to 1m. 10% reduction globally applied, to reflect dyke intersections;
- Resource split is approximately 44:26:30% between reefs H0:H3:H5.

MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
Palladium more precious than gold
- One of the best performing metals in 2019
- Price trading above US$2,500/oz
- Palladium's largest single use (~85%) is in automotive catalytic converters which clean petrol vehicle exhaust emissions
- Few primary supply sources. Most supply by- product of nickel and platinum production
- Supply dominated by South Africa and Russia
- ~30% of supply from recycling
- Persistent market deficits driving strong prices and robust outlook
