HIGHLIGHTS

Further PFS testwork and studies undertaken, including refinement and optimisation of the KRR HPA

USE

process and updating the Mining and Marketing studies.

Drilling at the Tennant Creek Gold-Copper Project commenced during the September quarter, initially at

the Lone Star Trend and Commitment IOCG targets.

A Placement and Security Purchase Plan raised $9,861,240 with current cash position of $8,535,975.

These funds are being applied to the ongoing HPA development testwork and studies in order to

complete a Prefeasibility Study, for further exploration on the Mt Remarkable and Tennant Creek gold

project areas, and for working capital.

During the September quarter 2020 King River Resources Ltd (ASX:KRR) reported on metallurgical testwork

results and progress in compiling the Speewah Prefeasibility Study ("PFS") on the company's 100% owned Speewah Specialty Metals ("SSM") Project in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. KRR plans to initially

scale the SSM project to produce High Purity Alumina (HPA), with Vanadium (V2O5), Titanium (TiO2) and Iron (Fe oxide) as potential co-products at a later stage, but not included as part of the PFS. This should significantly reduce the size of the project, with the potential to reduce the capex and maximise returns.

PFS Update

During the quarter, KRR provided a further update on metallurgical testwork and studies underway to complete the PFS, including:

o KRRs HPA process has been simplified by removing the second stage Ion Exchange circuit. The purification circuit to produce the high purity HPA precursor now involves only a Crystallisation stage. This development has increased the overall recovery and reduced the tonnes processed, so changes to both the engineering design and mining study are underway.

o Calcination of the high purity HPA precursor (at 1200°C) is the current focus of testwork to ensure no contamination is introduced and 4N (99.99% Al2O3) HPA can be produced.

o A phase test using XRD analysis has shown the alumina is converted to the stable alpha crystal form suitable for LED and battery separator applications.

o Larger calcined sample sizes are now being generated for more comprehensive testwork and analysis, including independent umpire assays for HPA purity verification and tracking contamination sources.

o CRU International is updating the market study to a 2028 dateline.

FORThe Company aims to release the PFS as soon as practicable on completion of these remaining outcomes. In parallel to completing the PFS outlined above, metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that the KRR process can make high purity HPA precursor from alternative aluminium feedstocks. This means the start up HPA development may be initially in a Perth industrial estate, without the immediate capital and permitting requirements for an acid plant and mining and processing operation in the Kimberley.

ONLYExploration Update

The gold exploration programme for 2020 commenced in August after delays caused by the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions. Exploration commenced at Tennant Creek(Northern Territory), where KRR has tenements in strategic positions targeting high grade Iron Oxide Copper Gold deposits. In addition, planning and site works commenced at Mount Remarkable(Western Australia), to follow up previous high grade gold

intersections and new regional targets. USEMt Remarkable

KRR plans to complete a 2,500m RC drill programme at the main Mount Remarkable project, where multiple high-grade gold results have been returned including best results of:

  • 4m @ 113.29g/t Au including 1m @ 346g/t Au in KMRC78 (refer KRR ASX 4 June 2018)
  • 6m @ 60g/t Au including 2.8m @ 108g/t Au in KMDD01(refer KRR ASX 10 September 2018)
  • 4m @ 39.78g/t Au including 1m @ 82.7g/t Au in KMRC75 (refer KRR ASX 20 June 2018)
  • 4m @ 36.77g/t Au from 7m including 1m @ 70.9g/t Au in KMRC127 (refer KRR ASX 7 August 2018)
  • 3m @ 34.8g/t Au including 1m @ 50.5g/t Au in KMRC0077 (refer KRR ASX 4 June 2018)

PERSONALReconnaissance exploration is also planned for KRR's extensive (2,300 km2) regional tenement holding (Figure 1, Table 1).).

The 2,500m RC drill programme is planned to target epithermal quartz-adularia veins for high grade gold mineralization. Targets include the Trudi Vein following up a new mineralised zones to the east (KRR ASX 10 January 2020) - Figure 2. Other drill targets include the Jeniffer North Vein the intersection of the Catherine Vein and Grahame Vein under interpreted cover units (Figure 3).

ONLYMt Remarkable - Regional

Reconnaissance exploration is planned along the prospective Whitewater Volcanic rocks that host the high grade gold mineralisation at Mt Remarkable. This horizon extends for 200km along a NE-SW strike south of the Speewah Dome (Figure 1), and includes the Hunter Project (held by WA Mining Resources, where historic high-grade gold values of up to 50.65g/t Au have been returned from epithermal quartz veins), through KRR's Mt Remarkable Project and continues to the south west hosting the Tunganary and Middle

USEBranch Bore gold prospects within anticlinal fold structures. This prospective trend has been under explored providing excellent opportunity for additional high-grade gold discoveries.

Proposed exploration at Mt Remarkable regional s summarized below:

  • Reconnaissance of the Hunter East high grade gold area.
  • Reconnaissance of the southern tenement gold prospects including: Tunganary, Middle Branch Bore Lansdowne and Little Gold River.

Tennant Creek

PERSONALKRR commenced exploration in August at its Treasure Creek Project in the Tennant Creek Region around the Tennant Creek, Rover and Kurundi Gold fields. The project comprises 16 tenements (including 2

applications) covering 7,900km2, covering 4 main project areas: Tennant Creek East, Tennant East/Barkley, Rover East and Kurundi (Figure 4, Table 1).
