Operational Activities – Bendigo-Ophir
During the September quarter, the Company remained focused on advancing mine development plans, with significant
attention on the PFS, for its 100%-owned BOGP in Central Otago, New Zealand.
Mine Permitting Update
Post-quarter end, Santana Minerals received confirmation from the Ministry for the Environment that the BOGP had
been officially listed on Schedule 2 of the government’s Fast Track Approvals Bill, an economic reform expected to be
ratified into law in the December quarter of 2024.
This designation as a priority project underscores the BOGP’s significant regional and national importance. It allows
Santana to expedite the resource consent process under the Resource Management Act (RMA), fast-tracking key
environmental, land use, and other permits. This streamlined approval process will enable the project to advance
efficiently, with all necessary consents expected to be secured within six months of submission of the Company’s Fast
Track application (scheduled for February 2025, subject to ratification of the Bill).
For Santana Minerals, this recognition marks a major milestone at an opportune time, as gold prices remain at record
highs.
PFS and Mine Development Activities
PFS activities progressed significantly onsite with a view to completion of the study in the December quarter 2024. The
PFS is required for mine consenting under the Resources Management Act (RMA 1991), and if legislated, the Fast Track
Approvals Bill. The consenting process calls for numerous environmental effects studies that are underway as follows:
Environmental Studies
Heritage survey Ecological, geochemistry baseline
Baseline socio-economic
Targeted spring flora and fauna surveys
Baseline visual assessment
Rehabilitation / closure plan

Mine Planning Update
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.45Moz of gold in the Indicated category, delivered in July 2024,
now serves as the foundation geological model for the optimisation and mine design process. Throughout the quarter,
several mining scenarios were modelled, focusing on enhancing project economics by optimising throughput rates,
grade streaming, and incorporating stockpiling strategies. The most economically attractive, and environmentally
responsible outcome will be presented in the PFS announcement in the December quarter.
Significant progress was also made during the quarter in assessing the logistics and costs associated with key mine
infrastructure, including water supply, power, temporary accommodation, and pioneering activities. Importantly, the
Company gained further security over access to fresh water by signing a binding and exclusive option agreement to
purchase approximately 92 hectares of strategic land within the BOGP area.
3
This agreement grants Santana the right to install essential infrastructure such as roads, buildings, water bores, pumps,
and pipelines on the vendor’s land to supply water from the Clutha-fed bore field to the project. The option is valid for
up to five years.
Additional modelling was completed by the Company’s process engineering firm MACA-Interquip to determine capital
costs associated with the PFS plant design, which includes detailed design parameters relating to updated mining
schedule outputs. An internal cost model was developed to incorporate first-principles mining costs and production
metrics. This model serves as a tool for validating input data used in mine optimisation algorithms and for
benchmarking against contractor rates.
All other mine planning activities have progressed commensurate with the Company’s timeline of announcing the PFS
in the upcoming quarter.
RAS Mineral Resource Estimate Upgrade
During the September quarter, the Company updated its MRE for the RAS deposit, incorporating assay results from an
additional 18 infill drill holes (see Figure 1 for hole locations). Using a lower cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au, this recalculation
resulted in a significant increase of 152,000 ounces in the Indicated resource category, raising the total from 1.3Moz
to 1.45Moz (19.1 million tonnes at 2.4g/t Au). This upgrade not only bolsters the resource base but also enhances
confidence in the near-term production potential for the ongoing PFS.
The deeper parts of the RAS deposit continue to host 772,000 ounces in the Inferred resource category, which are
expected to be targeted for future underground mining. The Company plans to use underground drilling from potential
development drives to convert these Inferred resources to Indicated status as the project advances.
With the upgraded 1.45Moz Indicated resource at RAS, the PFS is now focused on refining production targets, while
also considering resource upgrades from satellite deposits like SRX, SRE, and CIT. These upcoming upgrades are
expected to further enhance the overall project economics and provide additional mill feed options.

Resource Validation Drill Program at RAS
During the quarter, seven drill holes were completed at the RAS deposit to investigate the influence of high-grade
projections in the resource model. The results were exceptional and rather than indicating a need to adjust for overly
optimistic grade estimates, the drilling confirmed the presence of a consistently high-grade, tabular ore zone. This
verification supports the robustness of the resource model and will be highly valuable in enhancing the accuracy of the
ongoing PFS. The continuity and grade of this core zone at RAS will play a significant role in defining the project's
economic viability. Key results from the validation drilling program include:
▪ MDD313 30.7m @ 7.9g/t Au from 170.3m (true width 27.0m)
▪ MDD326 41.6m @ 8.6g/t Au from 164.4m (true width 38.8m)
▪ MDD328 41.8m @ 5.8g/t Au from 167.3 (true width 38.5m)
▪ MDD329 34.5m @ 5.4g/t Au from 173.5m (true width 32.7m)
▪ MDD330 39.5m @ 5.1g/t Au from 167.5 (true width 35.9m)
▪ MDD332 35.4m @ 8.3g/t Au from 161.6m (true width 32.1m)
▪ MDD334 26.6m @ 3.1g/t Au from 154.4m (true width 24.0m), and
24.0m @ 3.2g/t Au from 186.0m (true width 21.7m)

PFS Resource Definition Drilling – Satellite Deposits
During the quarter, the Company focused on upgrading the JORC classification of its three satellite deposits, aiming to
elevate them from Inferred to Indicated resources in support of the ongoing PFS. A key component of this effort was
an infill drilling campaign at the SRX deposit, situated just 1.5km southeast of RAS. The primary goal was to enhance
the resource classification of SRX, exploring its potential to contribute profitably to the maiden Reserve, either as
supplementary mill feed or as blending material with the higher-grades coming from RAS.
SRX currently hosts 4.7Mt at 1.1g/t Au for 174,000oz of Inferred resources, including three sub-parallel zones of higher-
grade mineralization, one of which is SRE, a faulted-off extension. The drilling program delivered promising results,
confirming the presence of a substantial near-surface resource. Highlights include 11.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 35.0m and
7.0m @ 4.9g/t Au from 12.0m, among others. These results further validate the deposit's potential to play a profitable
role in future production strategies and project economics. Key drill intercepts from the campaign include:
▪ MRC181 ▪ 11.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 35.0m (true width 5.6m)
▪ MRC189 ▪ 10.0m @ 1.0g/t Au from 28.0m (true width 6.5m)
▪ MRC198 ▪ 7.0m @ 4.9g/t Au from 12.0m (true width 5.6m), and
▪ 8.0m @ 1.6g/t Au from 21.0m (true width 6.4m)
▪ MRC199 ▪ 10.0m @ 1.5g/t Au from 51.0m (true width 9.6m)
▪ MRC210 ▪ 9.0m @ 1.5g/t Au from 1.0m (true width 8.0m)
▪ MRC211 ▪ 7.0m @ 1.5g/t Au from 4.0m (true width 6.2m)
▪ MRC212 ▪ 4.0m @ 2.5g/t Au from 13.0m (true width 3.6m)
▪ MRC218 ▪ 11.0m @ 1.3g/t Au from 3.0m (true width 9.8m)
▪ MRC225 ▪ 11.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 20.0m (true width 6.4m)
▪ MDD314 ▪ 8.2m @ 0.8g/t Au from 17.9m (true width 3.7m)
▪ MDD319 ▪ 10.1m @ 0.9g/t Au from 39.9m (true width 9.0m)

At CIT, located just 1.3km northwest of RAS, drilling also focused on upgrading the JORC categorisation in the near-
surface, open-pittable portion of the deposit. The CIT mineralisation consists of high-grade veins situated below the
Thomsons Gorge Fault, extending 500m down plunge and up to 95m across strike. Notable results include 23.0m @
2.6g/t Au from 38.0m and 18.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 40.0m. These results will be integral in advancing the resource
classification to support future development plans in the PFS.
Notable intercepts at CIT during the quarter included:
▪ MRC229 ▪ 23.0m @ 2.6g/t Au from 38.0m (true width 22.4m)
▪ MRC234 ▪ 18.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 40.0m (true width 9.2m)
▪ MDD337 ▪ 21.5m @ 1.5g/t Au from 76.5m (true width 17.7m)

Forward PFS Program
Significant progress has been made on both the technical and environmental assessments required for the upcoming
PFS announcement. A dedicated site-based study team, in collaboration with expert consultants, continues to advance
the workstreams required to finalise a robust study.
The advancement of the PFS comes at a time when Santana has been officially named in the government’s Fast Track
Approvals Bill, which is scheduled for ratification before the end of the year. This legislation will significantly streamline
the consenting process, reducing the timeline to six months once admitted into the scheme. As a result, it is now
anticipated that all relevant project consents could be in place by mid-2025, aligning with the completion of a Definitive
Feasibility Study (DFS) and Final Investment Decision (FID), both of which remain on track for mid-2025. The efforts of
the PFS will be used to inform the Fast Track consenting process, and to begin seeking project finance as a final DFS
and decision to mine is pursued.
The Company’s exploration drilling campaigns, particularly at CIT and SRX, have been important in upgrading resource
classifications and ensuring reliable input data for the PFS. The satellite deposit’s strategic potential remains clear, with
CIT and SRX viewed as a supplementary feed for the high-grade production at RAS.
With the PFS expected to be completed in this coming quarter, the Company remains confident in the project’s
potential as a low-cost, highly profitable gold producer that will bring considerable benefits to the New Zealand
economy.
