Drilling Results from Råna Ni-Cu-Co Project, Norway

New Zones of Nickel-Copper Mineralisation Intercepted

Metals One (AIM: MET1), which is advancing strategic minerals projects in Finland and Norway, announces that the Company's Råna Project (nickel, copper, cobalt) partner and operator, Kingsrose Mining Limited (ASX: KRM) ("Kingsrose"), has received all analytical results from the 2024 core drilling programme at the project, where a total of 706m was drilled across three holes at the Rånbogen prospect. The Råna Project is currently 39% owned by Metals One.

Highlights included:

·    Drilling tested a previously undrilled zone of outcropping massive sulphide located 600m northwest of the massive sulphide zone intercepted at Rånbogen in 2023 which returned 26.2m at 0.7% Ni, 0.2% Cu and 0.06% Co from 169.0m (see announcement dated 23 October 2023)

·    Two holes intercepted broad intervals of disseminated to net-textured sulphide mineralisation demonstrating the presence of high nickel tenors, returning a maximum grade of 1.6% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.15% Co (interval length 0.64m, hole 24RAN010 - *see Figure 1):

o  Hole 24RAN009 (length: 233m) intercepted 13.8m at an average grade of 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.04% Co from 143m (*see Figure 3)

o  Hole 24RAN010 (length: 212m) intercepted two zones of mineralisation:

§ 15.7m at an average grade of 0.3% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co from 143m

§ 15.8m at an average grade of 0.5% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.06% Co from 165.2m (*see Figure 4)

·    Exploration has demonstrated nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralising processes have occurred in multiple 'stacked' zones throughout the 10km diameter Råna intrusion, indicating a large search-space for future discovery (*see Figure 5)

·    Kingsrose is considering how best to advance the Råna Project

Jonathan Owen, CEO of Metals One, commented:

"It's great to report that Kingsrose has identified yet another new zone of nickel-copper mineralisation at the Råna Project associated with an extensive conductive geophysical anomaly.

The 2024 work programme has further demonstrated the prospectivity and scalability of the Råna Project, and we look forward to discussing with our partner the most appropriate next steps for the project which still remains largely underexplored."

About Metals One

Metals One is developing strategic metals projects in Finland (Black Schist Project) and Norway (Råna Project), with approximately £9 million of exploration carry exposure through a farm-in agreement. Metals One is aiming to help meet the significant demand for strategic minerals by defining resources on the doorstep of Europe's major electric vehicle OEMs and battery manufacturers. Metals One's Black Schist Project in Finland, totalling 706 km² across three licence areas, has a total Inferred Resource of 57.1 Mt nickel-copper-cobalt-zinc and is located adjacent to one of Europe's largest strategic minerals producers, Terrafame. Metals One's fully carried Råna Project in Norway covers 18.14 km² across three contiguous exploration licences, with significant opportunity for exploration of the Råna intrusion, and proven potential for massive sulphide nickel-cobalt-copper mineralisation.
