Adyton Resources announces mobilisation at Feni Island; Maiden Copper Gold diamond core drilling program.
NEWS RELEASE

TSX Venture Exchange: ADY For immediate release
Adyton Resources announces mobilisation at Feni Island;
Maiden Copper Gold diamond core drilling program.
Brisbane, Australia – June 2, 2021 – Adyton Resources Corporation (TSX Venture: ADY) (“Adyton”) is pleased
announce that the mobilisation of the drilling program at its 100% owned Feni Island Copper Gold project has
commenced with equipment and key team members now on site.
Feni Island has a 650,000 oz Au Inferred Resource (1) and is in a Tier 1 region along a mineral belt containing the world
class Simberi, Lihir, and Panguna gold and copper projects. The project hosts a number of spectacular targets.
The program at Feni Island is planned to comprise approximately 10 diamond drill holes for 3,000 metres, with the
first holes expected to average around 500 metres each. These initial holes will focus on the largely untested copper
porphyry targets identified from recent 3D IP modelling (refer Figure 1), as well testing extensions to the existing
epithermal gold Inferred Resource.
Mr Terranova stated, “Our understanding of the Feni Island Copper and Gold geological setting continues to grow, and
our maiden diamond core drilling program will accelerate this. Running the Feni Island and Fergusson Island drilling
programs in tandem ensures regular news flow throughout June and July as we start to consolidate the recent
successful results of Fergusson Island towards various technical studies.”
Further updates on the maiden drilling program at Feni Island will be provided.
Additional drilling results relating to the current Fergusson Island drilling program are expected within the coming
week.

where geophysical targets will be tested (see Fig 2). Other prospects will be the subject of ongoing exploration.

zone (resistivity < 10 Ωm) superimposed. Proposed drill holes are testing the porphyry copper / gold target to 500m
depth (see Figure 3), in addition to testing the shallower epithermal gold zones.

pipe-like zone porphyry Cu/Au drilling target at Kabang (see Fig 1). As can be seen, the zone is largely untested and
extends deeper than the current depth of drilling. The proposed holes (shown in plan view in Figure 2) are shown here
testing the IP target to 500m.

(1) Notes Regarding Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates
1. The Feni Island Project currently has a mineral resource prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 dated December 17, 2020, which has
outlined an initial inferred mineral resource of 19.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.01 g/t Au, for contained gold of 650,000
ounces, assuming a cut-off grade of 0.8 g/t Au.
2. See the NI 43-101 technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Feni Gold-Copper Property, New Ireland Province,
Papua New Guinea” (the “Feni Technical Report”) dated February 1, 2021 and prepared for XIB by Mark Berry (MAIG), Simon Tear
(MIGI PGeo), Matthew White (MAIG) and Ian Ryan Roy (MAIG), each an independent mining consultant and “qualified person” as
defined in NI 43-101, available under Adyton’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
