Assays for the remaining 10 holes are pending, to be received in the next quarter.
On receipt of the remaining assays, these holes will be added to a new MRE, with a
target to substantially increase the maiden MRE of 10.2Mt @ 0.18% Tin at a 0.10% Tin
cutoff* in the next quarter - building towards a ‘critical mass’ for Mine Scoping Studies.
Narriah Project
Rock chip samples collected from a >1km strike of historic tin and tungsten mines
identified strong tin and tungsten with associated lithium mineralisation, returning
grades up to:
3.59% Tin and 1.66% Tungsten with 0.19% Lithium.
A total of six diamond drillholes were completed to drill test the previously untested
historic Tin and Tungsten mines at Narriah for a total of 483.05m in the quarter.
Drilling assays are eagerly anticipated in the next quarter.

TALLEBUNG PROJECT (EL 6699, SKY 100%)
TALLEBUNG PROJECT – RESOURCE EXTENSION AND INFILL RC DRILLING
The first phase of RC drilling was completed in the quarter for 25 holes for a total of 4,759m designed to grow SKY’s
maiden MRE of 10.2Mt @ 0.18% Tin for 18.4kt at a 0.10% Tin cut-off grade and convert the estimated Exploration
Target of 16 – 21Mt at a grade ranging between 0.16 - 0.20 % tin at 0.1% Tin cut-off, into additional resources (SKY
ASX Announcement 22 March 2023).
The first phase of this drilling targeted the southern and central areas of the historic Tallebung Tin Mining Field
where the majority of the historic hardrock workings are located (Figure 1).
Holes TBRC047-TBRC055, TBRC068 & TBRC071 were drilled into the central area of the historic Tallebung Tin
Mining Field. This area has strong potential to add significant resources to increase the maiden MRE. The area
previously had only very sparse drilling while having the most intensive historic hardrock mining activity,
evidenced by the multiple open pits and shafts which are densely distributed over the area, showing the potential
for additional resources with drilling.
Assay results from TBRC047-TBRC055 drilled in the central mining area were received during the quarter and
results included:
TBRC047: 29m @ 0.09% Tin from 56m, including;
10m @ 0.15% Tin from 75m, including;
2m @ 0.55% Tin, 0.05% Tungsten & 50g/t Silver from 75m.
TBRC048: 16m @ 0.15% Tin & 0.04% Tungsten from 2m;
41m @ 0.10% Tin from 76m, including;
4m @ 0.32% Tin & 58.1g/t Silver from 4m.

TBRC008-TBRC019/25 and shows tin mineralisation is strongest where the host rock sequence predominately
psammite-rich, with fewer pelite interbeds.
TBRC049: 22m @ 0.11% Tin from 3m, including;
1m @ 1.25% Tin from 21m;
TBRC050: 19m @ 0.21% Tin, 0.03% Tungsten & 21g/t Silver from 158m, including;
2m @ 2.09% Tin, 0.05% Tungsten & 178g/t Silver from 162m.
TBRC051: 26m @ 0.10% Tin from 148m, including;
2m @ 0.35% Tin from 75m, including;
TBRC052: 6m @ 0.21% Tin, 52.6g/t Silver & 1.85% Zinc from 132m.
TBRC053: 1m @ 1.08% Tungsten, 0.17% Tin, 38.6g/t Silver from 77m (Tungsten Lode), and;
8m @ 0.15% Tin & 61.4g/t Silver from 83m.
TBRC054: 10m @ 0.11% Tin from 15m, including;
2m @ 0.33% Tin from 75m.
TBRC055: 16m @ 0.11% Tungsten & 35.6g/t Silver from 149m (Tungsten Lode), and;
1m @ 0.34% Tin, 423g/t Silver & 0.28% Copper from 157m.

The remainder of the holes, TBRC056-67 & TBRC069-70 were drilled in the Southern area of the Tallebung Tin
Mining Field. Recent results this year such as TBD003 (60.55m @ 0.36% Tin from 23m) (SKY ASX Announcement 19
April 2023) have highlighted the presence of a high-grade zone in the southern area. Drilling targeted expanding
this high-grade area and increasing the confidence of the resources in this high-grade zone.
Assay results for TBRC056-TBRC061 were also received this quarter and link the high-grade intercept in TBRC042
(11m @ 0.81% Tin from 27m) further south to the high-grade zone in TBD003 over a 400-300m strike. These results
also show that the Tallebung tin deposit remains open along strike to the south. Results included:
TBRC056: 10m @ 0.31% Tin & 0.05% Tungsten from 68m, including;
1m @ 0.94% Tin from 69m, including;
TBRC057: 6m @ 0.49% Tin & 40g/t Silver from 34m, including;
1m @ 2.30% Tin & 83.8g/t Silver from 35m, and;
6m @ 0.39% Tin, 0.42% Tungsten & 83.8g/t Silver from 88m, including;
2m @ 0.83% Tin, 1.14% Tungsten & 31.4g/t Silver from 88m.
22m @ 0.19% Tin from 174m, including;
1m @ 3.75% Tin & 2.10% Zinc from 191m.
TBRC058: 37m @ 0.17% Tin & 0.05% Tungsten from 124m, including;
3m @ 0.49% Tin from 158m.
TBRC059: 19m @ 0.27% Tin from 17m, including;
5m @ 0.83% Tin from 19m.
TBRC060: 20m @ 0.10% Tin from 147m, including;
1m @ 0.51% Tin from 150m.
TBRC061: 8m @ 0.12% Tin from 49m, and;
1m @ 0.38% Tin & 0.12% Tungsten from 52m.
5m @ 0.20% Tin from 72m
This first phase of drilling has successfully confirmed and extended the high-grade areas and SKY will now plan
the further drilling required to establish this area as indicated resources as necessary in the second phase of RC
drilling, along with discovering extension to the tin mineralisation to increase the maiden inferred MRE.
On receipt of all of these results, SKY will plan a second phase of drilling to convert a ‘critical mass’ into inferred
and indicated resources. This critical mass will then allow for mine scoping studies to commence on the Tallebung
Tin Project to evaluate the key project economics.
All pending results are anticipated to be received in the December quarter and a new MRE for the Tallebung Tin
Project will be estimated on receipt of these remaining results.
TALLEBUNG PROJECT – DIAMOND DRILLING
Diamond drilling has been completed concurrently with the RC program and was completed across the entire
strike of the maiden MRE. Four holes (TBD005-TBD008) have been completed for a total of 947.8m.
All holes completed (TBD005-TBD008) have intercepted the characteristic coarse cassiterite-hosted tin
mineralisation at Tallebung (Figure 3). The confirmation of the uniform and uniquely coarse cassiterite tin at
Tallebung is very important as it continues to show that the excellent metallurgical advantages of the Tallebung
5
mineralisation are present throughout the deposit. This indicates that the tin can be concentrated into a saleable
concentrate readily and cheaply using simple ore sorting and gravity processing.
TBD005 was drilled to target tin lodes at depth and intercepted strong veining with visible coarse cassiterite from
206-242m DH (Figure 2). TBD006 was then drilled on the southern extent of the maiden MRE near hole TBRC042
(11m @ 0.81& Tin from 27m). TBD006 has intercepted very coarse cassiterite, as found in all other holes drilled to
date at Tallebung, demonstrating the consistent nature of the tin mineralisation at Tallebung as being hosted in
coarse cassiterite.
TBD007 targeted down dip and along strike extensions to the strong tin mineralisation intercepted in the vicinity
of TBRC034 (43m @ 020% Tin from 5m) and TBD008 was then drilled to test extensions to tin mineralisation in the
north of the central area of the Tallebung Tin Mining Field (Figure 1 and 2).
These holes have been logged for detailed geotechnical studies to aid in future mine planning and mine open pit
designs for any future mining excavation. These diamond drillholes are being drilled with wide diameter PQ drill
core to over 150m downhole to provide material for bulk samples for further representative metallurgical testing.
The metallurgical testwork will aim to improve on the current simple processing methods available for the
Tallebung mineralisation due to the coarse nature of the cassiterite-hosted tin. This work will include providing
further representative samples for TOMRA Ore Sorting testwork to confirm and possibly improve on the excellent
results achieved to date showing a low-cost processing pathway for the Tallebung tin mineralisation.

tin mineralisation present at Tallebung. Centre: Drillcore from 29.3-32.4m DH in TBD006 with strong quartzcassiterite veining throughout. RHS: Veining from 30.8m DH showing the coarse nature of the cassiterite-hosted
tin at Tallebung. Drill core is 83mm wide for scale.
In relation to the disclosure of visible mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of mineral
abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or
grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information
6
regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The Company will update the market
when laboratory analytical results become available, expected from late-October 2023.
TALLEBUNG PROJECT – FORWARD WORK PROGRAM
When the remainder of the results from the first phase of resource expansion RC drilling and assays from the
diamond drilling are all received, the results will be included in an updated MRE. This MRE will then be used to
plan a follow-up second phase of RC drilling as required to increase the resources and Exploration Target of 1621Mt @ 0.16-0.20% Tin to a ‘critical mass’ for releasing mine scoping studies to evaluate the key project
economics for potential future mining at Tallebung.
Additionally, samples will be taken from the diamond drilling program to undergo further metallurgical testing,
including variability testing by TOMRA Ore Sorting Solutions to prove that the mineralisation can be consistently
ungraded across the entire strike and depth of the deposit and that the low-cost processing pathway for the
Tallebung tin mineralisation are consistent throughout the deposit.
NARRIAH PROJECT (EL 9524, SKY 100%)
RESTDOWN MINES – DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM
SKY completed the maiden diamond drilling program at the Narriah Project to drill test the numerous historic shafts
and small open pits were observed at six areas of workings, namely the Greenland, North Pole, Arctic, Iceland,
Restdown and Tex Prospects, collectively referred to as the Restdown Mining Area (Figure 4).
In the previous quarter, forty (40) rock chip samples were collected from the limited outcrop and old mine dumps
at the Restdown Mining Area. Samples returned results up to 3.59% Tin & 1.66% Tungsten (samples OD2023060126 & 15 respectively) (SKY ASX Announcement 5 July 2023). Drilling targeted extensions to these grades at depth
under the historic workings. Anomalous Lithium, up to 0.19% Li2O, was also discovered to be associated with the
granitic host rock of the Tin and Tungsten mineralisation previously mined at the Restdown Mining Area.
In addition to the rock chips collect, level sampling of the historic mines recorded a highlight tin result of 8m @
0.81% tin in underground mapping from 1977.
Historical level sampling did not assay for lithium.
Following these very encouraging rock chip results and identification of extensive historical workings, SKY has
drill tested these targets this quarter with a total of six (6) shallow diamond drillholes for a total of 483.05m. Two
shallow diamond drill holes were drilled to test under Arctic and Tex Prospects, a hole was drilled to test the
alluvial tin and basement under the Restdown Prospect and a final hole was drilled under the Greenland Prospect
for a total of six (6) drillholes.
These holes will now be sampled and assays are eagerly anticipated for this maiden drilling program in the coming
quarter.

DORADILLA PROJECT (EL 6258, SKY 100%)
RARE EARTH ELEMENT MINERALISATION – METALLUGICAL TESTWORK PROGRAM
Samples from the aircore drilling program completed in the previous quarter along with key samples from previous
drilling programs have been sent to UNSW for mineralisation characterisation work to inform potential
metallurgical pathways to develop the Doradilla Project.
UNSW has identified the clay hosted REE mineralisation to be hosted in an Apatite-group minerals which has been
observed to be finely disseminated throughout the weathered clay profile and proximal to the weathered skarn
along the entire 16km line DMK Line.
SKY will continue this characterisation work and will use these results to assist ALS Burnie and ANSTO in
developing a pathway for metallurgical concentration and/or extraction of the REE mineralisation discovered at
Doradilla. A first pass trial of ammonium sulphate (AS) leaching at a solution pH of 4 and pH of 3 by ANSTO for
samples from the DMK Line has not shown promise for economic extraction of REE via this method in the samples
provided to date.
However, this is one of many possible methods for economic REE extraction that may be investigated. It is likely
that a number of other extraction pathways will be available given the strong grades and the high value of
mineralisation present at the project.
SKY will continue to work with engaged metallurgical consultants, UNSW, ALS Burnie and ANSTO, along with
other experts, to continue to develop the broad range of methods available to extract the REE, tin and polymetallic
mineralisation on the DMK Line to unlock the high-value, widespread mineralisation discovered at Doradilla.

CULLARIN PROJECT: GOLD-LEAD-ZINC-COPPER (EL 7954, SKY 80%; DVP JV)
Hume Target – Diamond Drilling and DHEM
Diamond drilling completed at the Hume Target in 2021 highlighted the potential of the high-grade, gold-lead-zinccopper mineralisation at depth at Hume. HUD031 intercepted intervals of massive sulphides and strong base metal
mineralisation, deeper than any previous drilling at Hume. Results included:
HUD031:
32m @ 5.09% Pb+Zn, 0.15% Cu, 6g/t Ag from 420m including;
6m @ 8.93% Pb+Zn, 0.51% Cu, 18g/t Ag, 0.13g/t Au from 446m
SKY was encouraged by these thicker intervals of mineralisation at the Hume Target. In the March quarter, SKY
re-entered HUD030 and extended the hole to intercept the Hume Structure 100m below HUD031. Previously,
HUD030 had been drilled to 303.6m in 2021 to test for extensions to the strong base metal mineralisation intercepted
in HUD005 (6m @ 1.28% Cu & 12.44% Pb+Zn). HUD030 was extended and drilled on to 702.4m (Figure 5).
Initial geological logging and modelling of HUD030 indicated that the hole had drilled through an interpreted
moderately west dipping fault named the Eastern Fault. Although the hole intercept multiple zones of intense
sericite-silica-pyrite alteration, results were subdued. The assay results and advances in the geological
understanding of the Hume Target from this drilling will be studied by SKY geologists over the coming quarters to
identify any further targets for expanding the gold-rich, polymetallic mineralisation at the Cullarin Project.

Hume Structure at depth and provide a platform for DHEM.

IRON DUKE project: COPPER-GOLD
100% SKY (EL6064 & 9191)
This quarter SKY exercised the option to purchase EL6064 – Iron Duke Project and SKY now holds 100% of the Iron
Duke Project. The Iron Duke Project covers the Iron Duke Shear Zone which is at least 4km in strike and open to
the south. Several historic copper mines occur along the Iron Duke Shear Zone including the Iron Duke, Christmas
Gift, Monarch, Mount Pleasant and Silver Linings mines, along with several unnamed copper workings and shafts.
In the June 2021 quarter, SKY completed a maiden drilling program at the Iron Duke Mine, in conjunction with a
VTEM survey and DHEM, to identify extensions to the high-grade copper-gold mineralisation along the Iron Duke
Shear Zone (SKY:ASX Announcement 2nd June 2021).
An RC and diamond drilling program is planned to test for further extensions to the Iron Duke mine and test the
previously undrilled historic mines at the Christmas Gift Workings (comprising of the Christmas Gift, Monarch,
Mount Pleasant and Silver Linings mines). This program was delayed due to extremely wet ground condition
preventing access to the area. Currently, this program is planned for the following quarters after a detailed review
of the geophysics, mining records, historic data and previous drilling to develop robust targets for further drill
testing and expansion of the Iron Duke mineralisation.
CALEDONIAN PROJECT: GOLD
100% SKY (EL8920 & EL9020)
SKY has now completed a soil sampling program, a phase of AC drilling, two phases of RC drilling and two diamond
drill holes at the Caledonian Target. A review of SKY’s and historic results indicates the Caledonian gold
mineralisation likely represents a shallow, sub-horizontal blanket of oxide and supergene gold mineralisation
developed over an oxidised skarn.
SKY completed a shallow aircore (AC) drilling program over the area consisting of 38 vertical AC holes for a total
of 697m on 50-100m spacing over the 600m x 400m area of mineralisation defined by the previous drilling, soil
sampling and costeaning. Dure to significant ground waters intercepted by the AC drilling, preventing all but 4 of
the 38 holes drilled from reaching refusal, SKY does not consider the target concept of a shallow, sub-horizontal
blanket of oxide and supergene gold mineralisation to have been effectively tested. These results will be evaluated,
along with the previous drilling, to direct SKY to further shallow high-grade oxide gold mineralisation in the target
area.
SKY has been informed of the proposed development of a solar farm on the northern area of EL8920. This area
covers the Jerrawa Strike which is a trend of metallic occurrences that SKY interprets to be an exhalative horizon
with strong potential to host gold-silver and base metal mineralisation. SKY is continuing to work with the solar
farm developers to ensure that the solar farm will not be developed over significant mineralisation. The work to
date has delineated a gold soil anomaly which SKY plans to follow up in the following quarters, pending ongoing
negotiations with the Solar Farm developers.
Galwadgere PROJECT: Copper-GOLD
100% SKY (EL6320)
SKY and Burrendong Minerals Ltd (BML) have entered into to an option to purchase agreement for the divestment
of SKY’s non-core Galwadgere Project. The agreement is in two stages, as below:
11
Stage 1: Following exploration expenditure of $250,000 within 18 months of executing the Purchase
Agreement, BML will earn an option to purchase 100% interest in EL6320.
Stage 2: After satisfying stage 1, BML may elect to purchase EL6320 outright with either $600,000 worth of
BML share or cash at BML’s election.
Burrendong Minerals has a portfolio of projects centred on the area around the Galwadgere Project including the
Commonwealth Deposit. BML aims to list on the ASX with an IPO planned in the coming months with this portfolio
of projects proximal and complimentary to the Galwadgere Project in NSW. The divestment of the non-core
Galwadgere Project allows SKY to remain focused on developing SKY’s core assets.
KANGIARA project: GOLD
80% SKY (EL8400 & EL8573; DVP JV)
The Kangiara Project (EL8400, EL8573) is located 30km northwest of Yass in the Southern Tablelands of New South
Wales (Figure 10). The project contains volcanic/volcaniclastic rocks of the Silurian Douro Group considered
prospective for gold and base metal (copper-zinc) mineralisation. The high grade Kangiara Mine operated during
the early 1900s, with documented production of ~40,000 tonnes at 16% Pb, 3% Cu, 5% Zn, 280g/t Ag and 2g/t Au
from narrow north-south trending sulphide veins (ASX PDM 18 June 2009). Previous work by Paradigm Metals led
to the calculation of an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Kangiara. Further desktop studies and followup field investigations are planned for the following quarters.
TIRRANA PROJECT: GOLD
100% SKY (EL9048)
As part of a regional review of the Cullarin area for McPhillamys-style gold mineralisation, SKY identified an area
of open ground to the south-east of the Cullarin project. A detailed desktop review of previous exploration covering
Tirrana was completed in the December 2021 quarter. This review identified two key areas for follow up.
NEW ENGLAND project: Tin
100% SKY (El9200)
The New England Projects in the New England Orogen of NSW cover areas of significant historical tin production
at Emmaville. These areas were selected as they were considered to have significant potential to host hardrock
tin resources and limited modern-day exploration has been conducted. Additionally, recent reviews of the
geochemistry of the intrusions in the licence area have identified significant potential for REE mineralisation to
have developed in some suitable geological settings. During the quarter the Gilgai tenement was relinquished due
to a lack of prospectivity identified by SKY geologists. A detailed desktop review of previous exploration will
continue for the Emmaville Project for the following quarters with field work planned to follow-up any prospective
targets which are identified.

TIN PROJECTS
TALLEBUNG PROJECT (EL6699, 100% SKY)
The Tallebung Project is located ~70km north-west of Condobolin in central NSW. The project encompasses the historic
Tallebung Tin Mining Field at the northern extent of the Wagga Tin Belt within the central Lachlan Orogen where SKY has
now defined a maiden MRE of 10.2Mt @ 0.18% Tin*. SKY plans to advance the Tallebung by increasing the resource to the
16-21Mt* Exploration Target and progress development for future mining (*SKY ASX Announcement 22 March 2023).
DORADILLA PROJECT (EL6258, 100% SKY)
The Doradilla Project is located ~ 30km south of Bourke in north-western NSW and is a large and strategic REE and tin
project with excellent potential for associated polymetallic mineralisation (tungsten, copper, bismuth, indium, nickel, cobalt).
NARRIAH PROJECT (EL9524, 100% SKY)
The Narriah Project is located ~70km west of West Wyalong in western NSW and represents a large tin project with
multiple historic workings prospective for tin, tungsten and lithium mineralisation with limited drill testing completed to date.
NEW ENGLAND PROJECT (EL9200 & 9210, 100% SKY)
Two exploration licences in the New England Orogen covering areas of significant historical tin production.
COPPER GOLD PROJECTS
IRON DUKE (EL6064, EL9191 100% SKY)
The Iron Duke project is located ~10km southeast of Tottenham in central NSW and covers at
least 4 significant historic copper-gold mines.
High grade copper-gold mineralisation
intersected by previous explorers (e.g. 13m @
1.56% Cu & 4.48g/t Au).
GALWADGERE (EL6320, 100% SKY)
The Galwadgere project is located ~15km southeast of Wellington in central NSW. An open MRE
of 3.6Mt @ 0.78% Cu and 0.28g/t Au defined at
Galwadgere with numerous targets with limited
drilling testing adjacent to the MRE.
GOLD PROJECTS
CULLARIN / KANGIARA projects (EL7954;
EL8400 & EL8573, DVP JV)
The Cullarin Project contains equivalent host
stratigraphy to the McPhillamys deposit with a
similar geochemical, geophysical & alteration
signature. ‘McPhillamys-style’ gold results from
previous drilling at the Cullarin Project. SKY’s
maiden drill program was successful, including
HUD002 which returned 93m @ 4.2 g/t Au from
56m.
CALEDONIAN / TIRRANA PROJECTS
(EL8920, EL9048, EL9120 100% SKY)
Highlight, ‘McPhillamys-style’ gold results from
previous exploration include 36m @ 1.2 g/t Au
from 0m to EOH in drillhole LM2 and 81m @
0.87g/t Au in a costean on EL8920 at the
Caledonian Project.
