• Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) expected for released in the coming fortnight.
• Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to follow shortly after the MRE, marking a key development
milestone.
• Further drilling results pending, expected to support continued resource growth and
expansion.
SKY Managing Director & CEO Oliver Davies commented: “With the updated MRE due shortly and the Pre-
Feasibility Study to follow, we are entering a highly significant period with the outcomes of multiple workstreams
all set to be released in the coming weeks. The growing dataset continues to support our view of Tallebung as a
scalable, near‑term development opportunity, with strong potential to deliver further resource growth and
optimised development outcomes.
“These latest results continue to demonstrate the strength and growth potential of the Tallebung system, with
broad, shallow mineralisation being extended across the deposit. The consistency of these intercepts reinforces
our confidence in the potential of Tallebung, which will be highlighted in the impending MRE update and PFS.”

Sky Metals Limited (ASX: SKY) (“Sky Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to report further strong drilling results
from its 100%-owned Tallebung Tin-Silver-Tungsten Project in NSW, with extensional and in-fill drilling continuing
to deliver broad, shallow, high‑grade tin‑tungsten‑silver mineralisation.
TALLEBUNG PROJECT (EL 6699, SKY 100%)
NEW SHALLOW HIGH‑GRADE ZONES EXPAND DEPOSIT
The latest results further highlight the scale, continuity and open‑ended nature of the Tallebung system, with
mineralisation extending across multiple zones and remaining open both along strike and at depth.

Importantly, several intercepts have been recorded from near‑surface positions, reinforcing the potential for
efficient open‑pit development and early access to mineralisation in these new zones.
The intercepts reported in holes TBRC436-TBRC439 are particularly significant, identifying a new zone of shallow
tin‑tungsten‑silver mineralisation at Tallebung that is not included in the current MRE. These results extend
mineralisation along the north‑eastern margin of the existing deposit, effectively expanding the known footprint
and adding a new zone to the system.
The continued identification of these new zones of mineralisation on the margins of the current MRE highlights the
substantial untested potential still remaining at Tallebung and reinforces the growing scale of the deposit.
Importantly, Sky Metals is continuing to discover new mineralisation in parallel with an advanced and rapidly
progressing development strategy, positioning the Company to deliver further strong resource growth while
simultaneously advancing the Project toward development.
With further drilling results pending, Sky Metals continues to delineate a large, coherent and evolving mineralised
system at Tallebung, positioning the Project as a compelling near‑term development opportunity with strong
upside potential.

intercepts. The mineralisation is hosted in shallow dipping stacked vein packages.
UPDATED MRE AND PFS ON TRACK
An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) are on track for release in the
coming weeks.
4
The updated MRE will incorporate the expanded drilling database, which now comprises more than 500 holes,
representing a substantial increase in data compared to the current resource. This expanded dataset is expected
to deliver improved resource confidence and support detailed mine planning as part of the impending PFS.
This announcement is authorised for release by the Board of Sky Metals Limited.

About the Tallebung Tin Project (100% SKY)
Tallebung stands as an open-pit, technology enabled, near-term tin development project. Tallebung is uniquely
placed to provide secure tin supply, to feed irreplaceable and rapidly expanding tin demand, essential in semi-
conductors, electronics and solar PV technologies.
The Tallebung Tin Project is located at the site of large-scale historical tin mining in central Western NSW
where tin was first discovered in the 1890s. SKY is progressively defining a large-scale hardrock tin resource
with recent higher-grade tin zones discovered on the margins of the known deposit and exceptional
metallurgical performance demonstrated across the entire known deposit.
The shallow, open-pit tin veins combined with the ideal nature of the tin, hosted as large, discrete grains of
simple tin-oxide (cassiterite minerals), all ideally lends itself to low-cost tin production advantages, including
exceptional X-ray based ore sorting performance, demonstrated to upgrade the tin up to 44x, prior to low-cost
gravity separation to produce a saleable tin concentrate.

JORC CODE, 2012 - TABLE 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data – TALLEBUNG PROJECT
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
RC Drilling – the total sample (~20-30kg) is delivered via cyclone into a large plastic bag which is retained
for future use if required. 1m intervals are split using a cone splitter on the rig into a separate calico at
the time of drilling.
All samples were submitted to ALS Orange for preparation and assaying.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Assay standards or blanks are inserted at least every 50 samples.
All sample lab received weights show consistency with recovery and interval length.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a
30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual Commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Each sample was dried, crushed and pulverised as per standard industry practice.
RC Drilling – the total sample (~20-30kg) is delivered via cyclone into a large plastic bag which is retained
for future use if required. 1m intervals are split using a cone splitter on the rig into a separate calico at
the time of drilling. Where mineralisation has not been logged, 4m Composites have been made by using
a spear to Combine equal amounts of samples from each 1m calico.
The primary metal of interest, tin (Sn) and also tungsten (W) were determined by lithium borate fusion
XRF (method ALS – ME-MS85) – considered appropriate for these elements. Multielement assaying was
completed for 48 elements by 0.25g four-acid digest with ICPMS determination (method ALS – ME-
MS61) or for infill holes, assay of Ag, As, Cu, Pb, Zn with ICP determination (method ALS – ME-ICP61)
Pulps were also pulverised to ensure the sample is homogenised.
Multielement assaying was completed for 48 elements by 0.25g four-acid digest with ICPMS
determination (method ME-ICP61). Sn & W were analysed at ALS via ME-MS85 by lithium meta-borate
fusion and ICP-MS. Overlimit samples are analysed via ME-XRF30 fusion.
Drilling techniques • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc)
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling using 110mm rods, 144mm face sampling hammer.
Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material
RC drilling - high capacity RC rig was used to enable dry samples collected. Drill cyclone is cleaned
between rod changes and after each hole to minimise cross-hole contamination.
Sample weights are recorded for each sample. Recoveries were generally excellent and consistent,
however, if samples were wet the recoveries were less consistent.
10
Criteria Explanation Commentary
There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade. Where samples recoveries are less
than 95% there is no relationship observed between grade and sample recovery. Relationships between
sample recovery and grade are not considered significant where recoveries exceeded 95% in fresh rock.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography
• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged
Systematic geological and geotechnical logging was undertaken when the holes were originally drilled.
Data collected includes:
• Nature and extent of lithologies.
• Relationship between lithologies.
• Amount and mode of occurrence of ore minerals.
• Location, extent, and nature of structures such as bedding, cleavage, veins, faults etc.
Structural data (alpha & beta) are recorded for orientated core.
Geotechnical data such as recovery, RQD, fracture frequency, qualitative IRS, microfractures, veinlets and
number of defect sets. For some geotechnical holes the orientation, nature of defects and defect fill are
recorded.
Both qualitative and quantitative data is collected.
RC chips, half core (HQ) & ¾ core (PQ) samples are retained in trays for future reference.
A representative sample of each one metre RC interval is retained in chip trays for future reference.
Both qualitative and quantitative data is collected. All rock chips were digitally photographed.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled
RC drilling - the total sample (~20-30kg) is delivered via cyclone into a large plastic bag which is retained
for future use if required. 1m intervals are split using a cone splitter on the rig into a separate calico at
the time of drilling.
Samples were dried crushed and pulverised to 90% passing 75 microns. This is considered to
appropriately homogenise the sample to allow subsampling for the various assay techniques.
SKY: Certified Reference Material (CRM) and blanks were inserted at least every 50 samples to assess the
accuracy and reproducibility of the drill core results. The results of the standards were to be within ±10%
variance from known certified result. If greater than 10% variance the standard and up to 10 samples
each side were re-assayed. SGS conducted internal check samples every 20 for multielement assay.
RC drilling - duplicate samples are collected of re-split intervals. Duplicates generally show excellent
repeatability.
Sample sizes are industry standard and considered appropriate.
No field duplicates are taken for the rock chip samples. The sample was crushed and pulverised to 90%
passing 75 microns. This was considered to appropriately homogenise the sample.
The available data suggests that sampling procedures provide sufficiently representative subsamples for
the current interpretation.
11
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established
Standard assay procedures performed by a reputable assay lab, (ALS), were undertaken. Forty-eight
elements Ag, As, Cu, Fe, Pb, S, Zn are digested by four-acid digest then analysed by ICPMS (method ME-
MS61) or for infill holes, assay of Ag, As, Cu, Pb, Zn with ICP determination (method ALS – ME-ICP61)
Sn and W assays were generated by lithium borate fusion XRF (method ME-MS85) – considered
appropriate for these elements.
No geophysical tools were used in the determination of assay results.
Certified reference material or blanks were inserted at least every 50 samples. Standards are purchased
from Certified Reference Material manufacture Companies: Standards were purchased in foil lined
packets of between 60g and 100g. Different reference materials were used to cover high grade, medium
grade, low grade, and trace ranges of elements, with a primary focus on Sn, Ag and W.
Verification of sampling
and assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative Company
personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data
Drill data is Compiled and collated and reviewed by senior staff. External consultants do not routinely
verify exploration data until resource estimation procedures are deemed necessary. The intersection
calculations were viewed by >1 geological personnel.
Twinned holes have been used by past explorers to validate the results achieved and have confirmed
these historic results.
Drill Hole Data including: meta data, any gear left in the drill hole, lithological, mineral, survey, sampling,
magnetic susceptibility was collected and stored as physical and electronic copies or entered directly into
an excel spread sheet using drop down codes. When Complete the spreadsheet was Combined into a
master excel spreadsheet as the drill hole database.
Assay data was provided by ALS via .csv spreadsheets. The data was validated using the results received
from the known certified reference material. Hard copies of the assay certificates were stored with drill
hole data such as drillers plods, invoices, and hole planning documents.
Assay data is not adjusted.
Location of data points • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control
Historic drill hole collars were located using either a licenced surveyor or on a local imperial or metric
grid. Conversion of the local grid co-ordinates has been undertaken by previous exploration Companies.
SKY has used DGPS surveying of drillholes (± 0.1m) to accurately locate them.
All coordinates are based on Map Grid Australia Zone 55E, Geodetic Datum of Australia 1994.
Historic drill hole collars were located using either a licenced surveyor or on a local imperial or metric
grid. SKY has used DGPS surveying of drillholes (± 0.1m) to accurately locate them, or handheld GPS (+/-
3m). Where handheld GPS has been used, SKY will DGPS them at a later date.
SKY has used handheld GPS to locate rock chip locations (nominal accuracy ± 5m).

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Data spacing and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results Whether the data spacing, and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied
• Whether sample Compositing has been applied
At this stage, drilling of the MRE area of the project has been drilled to at least approximately 80m x 80m
down to 40m x 40m for inferred and indicated resources respectively. Outside of the MRE are, data
spacing is variable as the focus is on geological mapping and identifying new zones of mineralisation.
The maiden MRE was estimated to inferred and indicated and increases in resource confidence will
require tighter spaced drilling, such as some of the drilling completed in this program.
Sample Compositing is not applied.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported
if material
Drilling was orientated to cross the mineralisation trend at moderate to high angles, perpendicular to
mineralisation. The use of orientated core allows estimates of the true width and orientation of the
mineralisation to be made accurately.
No sample bias due to drilling orientation is known. The structural controls on mineralisation is
considered well understood and consistent.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security Sample chain of custody has been managed by the employees of Sky Metals who Commissioned the
drilling and transport samples from the drilling rig to assay laboratory.
All samples are bagged in tied numbered calico bags, grouped into larger tied polyweave bags, or placed
in a stillage box and transported to ALS in Orange by SKY personnel. All sample submissions are
documented via ALS tracking system and all assays are reported via email.
Sample pulps are returned to site and stored for an appropriate length of time (minimum 3 years). The
Company has in place protocols to ensure data security.
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data The Company has external consultants to verify exploration data for the resource estimation process.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results – TALLEBUNG PROJECT
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests,
historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The Tallebung Project is described by NSW Exploration Licence 6699
The tenement is 100% owned by Stannum Pty Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of Big Sky Metals Pty Ltd
and a 100% owned subsidiary of Sky Metals Ltd.
The Tallebung tenement is overlain by Native Title Determination Application No NC12/1 (Federal Court
No NSD 415/12). A determination of extinguished native title was received over a portion of the
Tallebung Tin Field.
An agreement between for the remainder of the tenement where Native Title has not been
extinguished, an agreement has been reached between Stannum and the Native Title Applicant to allow
access to the remainder of the tenement.
• The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area
Stannum Pty Ltd have previously Commenced a Right to Negotiate Process (RTN) with the claimant
group with respect to Application No NC12/1 (Federal Court No NSD 415/12). These negotiations have
resulted in a land access agreement to be sign with Stannum Pty Ltd. A determination of extinguishe
