Drilling program

Further to the announcement released on Monday 18 December, additional samples from the recent drilling program are being assayed and the results are expected to be received shortly.

The Board of Six Sigma Metals Limited is pleased to announce that the second batch of results from the Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program targeting copper and silver mineralisation at the Dibete and Airstrip Copper projects in North-eastern Botswana (see ASX announcement 4 September 2017) have been received and have revealed further broad thicknesses of high-grade copper and silver mineralisation.

Dibete 6100N Zone:

• DBRC129: 13m @ 2.11% Cu, 37.8g/t Ag from 37m; Including: 2m @ 7.09% Cu, 178g/t Ag from 46m
• DBRC130: 13m @ 1.9% Cu, 61.9g/t Ag from 41m; Including: 3m @ 5.39% Cu, 240g/t Ag from 51m
• DBRC131: 2m @ 5.07% Cu, <1g/t Ag from 30m; And 6m @ 4.46% Cu, 162 g/t Ag from 38m; Including: 2m @ 10.9% Cu, 445 g/t Ag from 42m
• DBRC133: 10m @ 2.04% Cu, 15.6g/t Ag from 7m; Including: 2m @ 7.03% Cu, 9g/t Ag from 12m

Dibete 6400N Zone:

• DBRC135: 9m @ 1.79% Cu, 32.7g/t Ag from 24m; Including: 1m @ 5.25% Cu, 69g/t Ag from 27m

The results from Dibete support the previously released results (see ASX announcement 16/11/2017) that returned highlights of:

• DBRC123: 17m @ 1.48% Cu, 45g/t Ag, from 15m; Including: 3m @ 5.44% Cu, 175g/t Ag, from 25m
• DBRC124: 25m @ 2.17% Cu, 77g/t Ag, from 27m; Including: 4m @ 5.16% Cu, 104 g/t Ag, from 32m And 3m @ 6.9% Cu, 388 g/t Ag from 49m

The Board of SI6 is highly encouraged by the thick, high-grade tenor of copper and silver returned in the drilling results. The drilling at Dibete has now defined a cumulative strike length of mineralisation from two lodes of over 400m with both zones remaining open and untested by drilling along strike and at depth. Future exploration programs will target the strike extensions of the shallow mineralised zones as well as the deeper source to this significant mineralisation.

All remaining samples from the drill program are currently undergoing analysis at an independent laboratory in South Africa. The Company will keep the market informed of the assay results as they come are received.

In addition to its copper exploration program, SI6 continues to assess the Cobalt and Tantalum potential of the company’s Botswana tenure.
