Key Highlights

* Validation and extension of new strandline discovery at Douglas Project.
* Samples being prepared for shipment, assays due in Q2 2024.
* 7,000 Drilling completed across Douglas, North Watchem and Goschen Central.

ACDC Metals Limited (ASX: ADC) (ACDC Metals or the Company) is pleased to announce the completion of 2024 Q1 aircore drill program across the Douglas, Goschen Central and North
Watchem projects. Over 7,000 metres were drilled across the heavy mineral sand (HMS) and rare
earth element (REE) projects to infill, extend and discover new mineralisation. Assays are being
reported progressively, however key visual results from ACDC Metals field team support the
previously disclosed new strandline discovery1.

ACDC Metals CEO Tom Davidson commented:

“It has been another successful drilling campaign by the ACDC Metals exploration team.
Our objectives for the campaign were to target a grade increase at Goschen Central and
cover further exploration at both North Watchem and Douglas.

Our Goschen Central campaign comprised over 2,200 metres of drilling, with all assays
received and reported2. Composites are now being prepared that will enable mineralogy
determination and increase our confidence in the existing resource estimate. These results
will enable a JORC estimate update mid-year.

The North Watchem campaign comprised over 5,000 metres, where our intent was to
further investigate the exciting results we obtained from our 2023 campaign, including the
validation of a strand line3 identified at North Watchem (EL7642).

Finally, our drilling at Douglas has been very encouraging, where logging on the rig by our
experienced geologists confirmed the new strandline which was inferred from 2023 drilling.
Initial visual results look positive and we are expediting these samples through the laboratory."

Douglas Project

ACDC Metals Douglas Project lies 30kms west of the Douglas Mineral Sands Mine (mining licence
MIN5367) which was operated by Iluka Resources Pty Ltd (Iluka) until 2012 and rehabilitation of the site
has been ongoing since then4. The wider Douglas area is known for multiple mineralised strandlines
forming the West Wimmera Strand Plain, including the four main strandlines of economic interest, which
are, Acapulco, Bondi, Bondi East, and Echo (from west to east, refer to figure 1 in ASX announcement 3 April 2024). Strandlines in this area
are characterised by their particularly thick, wide and high heavy mineral (HM) grades. There is also an
absence of cover sediments over much of the prospective beach sequence.

In 2023 ACDC drilled 2,338 metres across 47 holes at Douglas. Drilling intersected high grades with the
highlight being hole 23AC021 25.5m @ 2.9% total heavy mineral (THM) from 19.5m, including 7.5m @
6.16% THM from 21m5. The geological interpretation of this intersection suggested a new strandline
discovery. Typical drill spacing was 250 metres which is considered too broad for strandline delineation.

The recently completed 2024 drilling totalled 890 metres over 21 holes and was targeted to infill this
interpreted strandline, with drill holes spaced at 25 metres. Logging of drill samples during the 2024 program
by ACDC Metals onsite geologists has indicated a very encouraging zone of interpreted thick mineralisation
rich in heavy minerals which extends up to 100m either side of drill hole 23AC021 and remains open to the
west. It should be noted that visual estimates and laboratory assays do not always align.

Encouraged by the field observations all samples from the 2024 program are currently being fast tracked for
assay, with results expected within 4-6 weeks.

The mineralisation style and geometry appear similar to the Iluka’s Douglas group of deposits which
totalled 125mt @ 9.8% THM (Iluka, 2002) prior to mining. Examples of other strandline systems in the
Murray Basin are provided in Table 1 of the announcement released to the ASX on 3 April 2024 which can be obtained from the company website www.acdcmetals.com.au.

ACDC Metals Limited (ASX: ADC) (ACDC Metals or the Company) is pleased to announce results from aircore drilling at the Goschen Central heavy mineral sand (HMS) and rare earth element (REE) project in the Murray Basin of western Victoria, Australia. These results extend beyond the indicated resource footprint calculated during 2023 and will contribute to a resource upgrade that is expected during Q2 2024.

Significant intercepts include:
• 16.5m @ 2.33% HM from 21.0m, including 1.5m @ 9.15% HM from 28.50m (24GC018).
• 28.50m @ 1.4% HM from 13.50m, including 1.50m @ 8.530% HM from 27.00m (24GC015).
• 10.50m @ 2.7% HM from 27.00m, including 1.50m @ 7.530% HM from 28.50m (24GC021).
• 12.00m @ 2.990% HM from 24.00m, including 1.50m @ 7.520% HM from 33.00m (24GC063).
• 15.00m @ 2.154% HM from 25.50m, including 1.50m @ 7.200% HM from 28.50m (24GC017)
• 13.50m @ 2.147% HM from 28.50m, including 1.50m @ 7.030% HM from 30.00m (24GC051)
Results summarised above and provided in full in Appendix 1 are from the 68 aircore drill holes completed at the Goschen Central project in January 2024.

ACDC Metals CEO Tom Davidson commented:

“We are very pleased with these drill results which have potential to significantly increase the size and grade of the Goschen Central heavy mineral sand resource. This drilling along with further mineralogical studies highlights the potential of the Goschen Central project to be a long lived supplier of rare earth elements, zircon and titanium.

We look forward to integrating these results in the second quarter when we update the Goschen central resource estimate.”

This extension drilling stepped out from the previously estimated indicated resource as represented in figure 1. The program was designed to explore for extensions of the high-grade zone and increase geological confidence to enable upgrading to the resource.

Numerous holes have intersected greater maximum HM% intervals than the previously reported drill results in 2023. These results all support that the high-grade zone remains open to the east, where there is potential for further extensions.

The results support the ACDC Metals’ view that the Goschen Central project has potential to support a significant heavy mineral sand and rare earth element project, with high grades and a high value assemblage. Composites are now being compiled and will be sent for further mineralogy and provide further data to upgrade the resource estimate.
