Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM:UFO), a global minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to update the market on its inaugural drilling program at the high-grade Elizabeth Hill Silver Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The drill program consisted of a total of 1,991 metres in 22 holes across the Project and the results below are from the 4 diamond drill holes completed for 211m from the first stage of the drilling program. The remaining results are expected in the coming weeks.

Highlights

• Exceptionally high silver grades have been returned from the Elizabeth Hill diamond drilling program with assays including:

o  9.7m @ 8,326 g/t Ag (267oz/t Ag) from 15m in drillhole 21EHDD003; and,

o  24.8m @ 829 g/t Ag (27oz/t Ag) from 2m including 11.7m @ 1,735 g/t Ag (56oz/t Ag) and 1.7m @ 19,865g/t Ag (639oz/t Ag) from 23m, in drillhole 21EHDD001

• Additionally, significant assay results for base metals have also been returned from the same intervals, these include:

o  14.2m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.14% Ni, 0.36% Pb, 0.12% Zn and 140 g/t Co from 10.5m including 9.7m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.14% Ni, 0.27% Pb and 0.13% Zn in drillhole 21EHDD003; and,

o  24.8m @ 0.15% Cu, 0.11% Ni, 0.3% Pb, 0.22% Zn and 222 g/t Co from 2m in drillhole 21EHDD001

· Interpretation of these diamond core results suggest the mineralised envelope at Elizabeth Hill may be larger than work by previous explorers has suggested

· This mineralisation starts at surface in highly weathered, soft and easily extractable material

· A significant number of assays from the RC drilling remain outstanding

Bill Brodie Good, CEO & Technical Director of Alien Metals, commented: "These fantastic initial results support the Company's view that the near surface oxide expression of the deposit was never fully tested, nor its potential fully explored for both the silver and the base metals present. Some of these grades have to be some of the highest for a silver project in Australia. We look forward to receiving the outstanding RC drill results which will enable us to further interpret these results along with the historic results to aid in planning the next round of work programmes to advance the heavily endowed Elizabeth Hill and Munni Munni mineralised system."

From initial interpretation, there is significant and extremely high-grade silver mineralisation in what appears to be a shallow southerly dipping body that also contains some significant copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc and lead, which could easily be classed as significant asscociated products in a production scenario.

The Alien technical team is constantly in the process of reviewing the fresh data as received, as well as combining it with historic data to continue to develop plans and targets. The Company looks forward to further updating the market as more results are received.

The transfer of the Elizabeth Hill Mining Lease and the Munni Munni North ELA are still ongoing with statutory paperwork being completed to finalise the transfers soonest.

The completion of the 90% acquisition of the Hamersley Iron Ore Tenements is also ongoing with statutory paperwork beign completed to finalise the transaction soonest.

Notes to Editors

Alien Metals Ltd is a mining exploration and development company listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE: UFO). The Company's focus is on precious and base metal commodities, with its operations located in proven mining jurisdictions and it has embarked upon an acquisition-led strategy headed by a high-quality geological team to build a strong portfolio of diversified assets.

In 2019, the Company acquired 51% of the Brockman and Hancock Ranges high-grade (Direct Shipping Ore) iron ore projects and with a conditional agreement to increase its interest to 90% in May 2021 also being put in place.

In 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the Elizabeth Hill Silver Project, which consists of the Elizabeth Hill Historic Silver Mine Mining Lease and the 150km2 exploration tenement around the mine. The Company also holds two silver projects, San Celso and Los Campos, located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, Mexico's largest silver producing state, which produced over 190m oz of silver in 2018 alone, accounting for 45% of the total silver production of Mexico for that year. The Company also holds a Copper Gold project in the same region, Donovan 2.

In November and December 2021, the Company entered into two Binding Heads of Agreement with ASX listed Platina Resources Ltd and Artemis Resources Limited to acquire 100% of the current joint venture interest in the Munni Munni Platinum Group Metals and Gold Project in the West Pilbara, Western Australia, one of Australia's major underexplored PGE and base metals projects. Munni Munni holds a historic deposit containing 2.2Moz 4E PGM: Palladium, Platinum, Gold, Rhodium.

The Company was also awarded an Exploration Licence in Greenland in late 2020, which surrounds the world class Citronen Zinc-Lead deposit.
