Horizon Minerals Limited: Penny's Find JV Resource Update

Perth, Australia - Horizon Minerals Ltd. (ASX:HRZ) is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Penny's Find JV project located 50km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the heart of the Western Australian goldfields (Figure 1*).

HIGHLIGHTS

- Resource definition and extension drilling completed at the Penny's Find gold project, 50km northeast of Kalgoorlie in the Western Australian goldfields

- The project is a 50:50 joint venture with Orminex Ltd (ASX:ONX) with Horizon's A$1M sole funding commitment now satisfied with future costs funded on a 50:50 basis

- A total of 21 drill holes were completed with 2,103m of RC and 2,765m of diamond to a maximum depth of 282m

- Drilling tested northern extensions and infilled a number of areas within the existing underground resource envelope with significant results received including:

o 5.0m @ 5.27g/t Au from 180.3m (P1_010)
o 3.7m @ 7.46g/t Au from 215.3m (P1_005)
o 2.7m @ 8.64g/t Au from 171.4m and 1.7m @ 17.91g/t Au from 178.9m (P1_007)
o 1.9m @ 13.95g/t Au from 251m (P1_009)
o 0.9m @ 23.56g/t Au from 216.7m (P1_006)
o 2.0m @ 8.47g/t Au from 227m (P1_008)
o 2.5m @ 7.45g/t Au from 226m (P1_020)

- Results demonstrated excellent width and grade continuity and improved geological confidence with mineralisation open along strike to the north and at depth

- Updated independent Mineral Resource estimate now compiled and stands at:

o 250,000t grading 5.22g/t Au for 42,000oz at a 1.5g/t Au lower grade cut-off

- Importantly, over 83% (up 19%) of the resource now in the Indicated Resource category (188kt grading 5.71g/t Au) with updated underground mine optimisation, design and economic evaluation underway

- A maiden Ore Reserve for Penny's Find is expected early in the December Quarter 2021

- Approvals for mine development are in place and a toll milling agreement executed for ore processing in the March Quarter 2022

Commenting on the resource update, Horizon Managing Director Mr Jon Price said:

"The JV partners have taken a very conservative approach with the new resource model and the latest drilling has provided increased confidence and higher JORC classification for reserve conversion. We now look forward to completing the updated underground mine optimisation and design for a development decision with our JV partners early in the December Quarter."

The Company acquired a 50% interest in the project from joint venture partner Orminex Ltd (ASX:ONX) for $1.5M and agreed to sole fund the first $1M in pre-development expenditure with the joint venture partners funding the project on a 50:50 basis thereafter. The project presents an early underground development and production opportunity to generate cash as the Company advances the longer-term consolidated Feasibility Study underpinning a stand-alone mill at Boorara.

The infill and extension program aimed to improve resource classification and test extensions along strike with excellent results and new mineralisation intercepted to the north. The deposit also remains open at depth and will be tested further from underground drilling positions during the mining cycle.
