Waitekauri Gold Project

Broad Gold Mineralisation Intersected in Second-

Stage Jubilee South Drilling

Highlights

• Assays confirm broad gold mineralized envelope containing higher grade

structures from the four diamond hole drilling program completed at Jubilee

South Gold Prospect, within the Company’s Waitekauri Gold Project

• This program was targeting shallower parts of the high-grade gold system that

was historically mined at Jubilee, all holes returned gold mineralisation within

quartz-veined, silicified and pyritic andesite

• The Waitekauri Gold Project, which includes the historic Jubilee Gold Mine, is

located near Waihi on New Zealand’s North Island, only 8km west of

OceanaGold’s Waihi Gold Mine (+12Moz Au), and 4.5km directly along strike from

OceanaGold’s 2.2Moz @ 14.3g/t Au WKP deposit.

• Assays from the four-hole, 633.5m diamond drilling program completed included:

o TGW011: 80.3m @ 0.30g/t Au from 122.0m, including 16.0m @ 0.52g/t Au

from 159.0m and 1.0m @ 1.21g/t Au from 170.0m.

o TGW014: 52.5m @ 0.25g/t Au from 47.5m to end of hole, including 8.5m @

0.52g/t Au from 55.0m and 1.5m @ 0.71g/t Au from 62.0m.

o TGW012: 22.7m @ 0.35g/t Au from 135.5m, including 8.8m @ 0.62g/t Au

from 145.0m and 0.9m @ 2.60g/t Au from 150.8m.

o TGW013 returned multiple zones, led by 3.8m @ 1.10g/t Au from 70.8m,

including 1.0m @ 2.79g/t Au; a 1.2m zero-recovery interval is excluded

from reported intervals

• Independent review of the Jubilee and Jubilee South drilling programs completed

to date has commenced, for analysis of results and planning for next phase

exploration programs

• Mapping and reconnaissance sampling identified high grade outcropping

mineralisation at Joe’s Track prospect south of Sovereign with assays returning

up to 32.5g/t Au.

Minerals Exploration Limited (ASX: MEX, NZX: MEX) reports gold assay results from the

four-hole second-stage diamond drilling program at Jubilee South, within the

Company’s flagship Waitekauri Gold Project in the Hauraki Goldfield, New Zealand. The

program was designed to test a high-grade target within the Jubilee vein, interpreted

from historical data at shallower levels along its southern extent and closer to the

historic mine stopes.

TGW012 and TGW013 intersected voids, as anticipated, while the drilling also defined a

broad zone of lower-grade gold mineralisation in the footwall of the Jubilee vein. This

broad mineralized footprint is interpreted to reflect substantial hydrothermal fluid flow

through the system and suggests that lithology and permeability were important

controls on the distribution and localization of gold mineralisation.

Minerals Exploration Executive Director, Brett Mitchell said: “These results show that

gold is distributed through a broader altered and veined package at Jubilee South than

a narrow high-grade lode model alone would imply. Local intervals above 1g/t Au,

together with long mineralized zones in TGW011 and TGW014, provide useful vectors for

the next targeting phase, including a proposed drilling program at the Sovereign gold

prospect.”

SECOND-STAGE JUBILEE SOUTH DRILLING

TGW011–TGW014 drillholes were drilled to test the southern continuation of the historic

Jubilee vein system towards the Sovereign prospect, near the production levels at the

historic Jubilee gold mine. The four holes totalled 633.5m and tested high-grade

mineralisation targets interpreted from historical data at shallower levels along the

southern part of the Jubilee system. Drilling intersected variably silicified, clay-altered

and pyritic andesite tuff, lava and breccia containing quartz veinlets, vein breccias and

fault breccias.

The broad mineralised intersections indicate that the Jubilee mineralising system

extends beyond a single narrow vein into a substantially wider altered and mineralised

envelope. The occurrence of discrete higher-grade intervals within this envelope

confirms that the system was capable of locally concentrating gold and suggests that

mineralising fluids were focused by favourable structures and permeability contrasts.

This highlights the potential for higher-grade shoots associated with structural

intersections, dilation zones and other zones of enhanced permeability. The results

expand the prospective footprint at Jubilee South, strengthen the geological model and

provide clear vectors for follow-up drilling towards the Sovereign prospect, immediately

south of Jubilee. Results are summarised in Table 1:

GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS

TGW011 and TGW014 returned broad mineralized intervals dominated by low-grade gold

with discrete higher-grade zones. The higher grade mineralisation (e.g. 1m @ 1.21g/t Au)

coincides with the location of modelled position of Jubilee vein in TGW011, with the bulk

of the intersection in the footwall.


TGW012 intersected a higher-grade interval of 0.9m @ 2.60g/t Au, but recovery through

parts of its principal composite was poor and averaged approximately 62% recovery,

with local recovery around 25%. As with these other holes, gold mineralisation is

generally hosted in more permeable units adjacent to their contact with the less

permeable flow units. TGW013 intersected several mineralized zones including a zero-

recovery void adjacent to its shallowest reported zone. The location of strongest grade

confirms the location of modelled Jubilee vein.


The assay distribution and logging support interpretation of a broad hydrothermal

alteration and veining envelope cut by local higher-grade structures.


JUBILEE SOUTH RESULTS AND NEXT EXPLORATION AT WAITEKAURI

The second-stage results add geological knowledge across the gap between the historic

Jubilee workings and the Sovereign prospect. The broad mineralized intervals in TGW011

and TGW014, together with higher-grade internal zones in TGW011–TGW013, will be

integrated with mapped volcanic contacts, faults, historic workings and geophysical

data in the Company’s evolving 3D model.

The exceptional historic underground channel grades were not replicated at the tested

positions. Follow-up targeting will therefore focus on resolving structural controls,

assessing the effect of fault zones and host lithologies. Further drilling will focus on

continuation of the mineralized trend towards Sovereign and is subject to interpretation,

permitting, access and normal exploration approvals.

The Sovereign Gold Prospect is host to mineralised breccias drilled between 1991 and

2003 by Coeur and Cyprus Gold NZ with a compilation suggesting an open shoot in the

southern central sector. Historical drilling at Sovereign delivered significant high-grade

assays which in some cases remain open in strike and dip with results including:

➢ ML2 15.0m @ 4.40g/t Au from 69m, incl, 5m @ 6.72g/t Au, no recovery due to

void from 67 to 69m

➢ ML6 4.0m @ 12.6g/t Au from 138m incl, 2m @ 22.8g/t Au from 138m

➢ ML12 8.0m @ 3.9g/t Au from 108m incl, 2m @ 7.2g/t Au from 112m

o 4.0m @ 5.8g/t Au from 124m incl, 2m @ 7.0g/t Au from 124m

➢ ML12 4.0m @ 3.5g/t Au from 154m

➢ ML12 4.0m @ 2.6g/t Au from 254m

A diamond drilling program at Sovereign is currently being finalised by the MEX

exploration team to close the gap between high grades at the southern end of Jubilee

and the northern end of the Sovereign Zone(s) which consists of at least four parallel

structures, some with high grade mineralisation. Subject to permitting, the initial

program is planned to comprise approximately 1,200m of drilling across six holes.

On the western structure, hole ML12 intersected two zones of gold mineralisation, the

first from ~106m is most promising with multiple intercepts of good width and promising

grade. These include 8m @ 3.9g/t Au from 108m, 4m @ 5.8g/t Au from 124m and 4.0m

@ 3.5g/t Au from 154m, and the second zone from ~242m including 4.0m @ 2.6g/t Au

from 254m. The shallower zone (95.8m @ 0.98g/t Au from 70.5m) appears to be the

down-dip extension of that intersected in hole ML29 (71.1m @ 0.27g/t Au from 3.1m).

Currently hole SOV-6 is planned to test the up-dip extension of hole ML12 (~30m) while

SOV-7 tests strike continuity to the north (~30m).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (for example, cut

channels, random chips or specialised industry-

standard measurement tools). Include measures

taken to ensure sample representivity and aspects

of the determination of mineralisation that are

Material to the Public Report.

Diamond core was placed in labelled trays, aligned, measured and geologically logged. Nominal one-metre sample

intervals were adjusted to geological boundaries where appropriate. Core was sawn and half core submitted for

gold assay. The remaining half core is retained. Sampling was designed to test logged quartz-veined, altered and

sulphidic zones.

Five selective reconnaissance grab samples were collected on 14 July 2026 from quartz-veined mullock and

quartz-veined or silicified andesite outcrop beside an old adit. Grab samples are point samples selected to assess

mineralisation style and tenor and are not representative of continuous width or bulk mineralisation.

Drilling techniques Drill type and details, including diameter,

orientation and survey method.

Diamond drilling used PQ, HQ and NQ triple-tube equipment to maximise recovery. Core was oriented where

ground conditions and drilling allowed a reliable orientation mark. TGW011–TGW014 totalled 633.5m.

Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing recovery;

measures taken to maximise recovery and sample

representivity; and assessment of possible

recovery bias.

Recovery was measured for each drill run by comparing recovered core with drilled length. Triple-tube drilling was

used to improve recovery. Recovery was variable in broken and faulted ground. The TGW012 principal composite

averaged approximately 62% recovery and included local run recovery of about 25%. TGW013 contains a zero-

recovery interval from 74.6m to 75.8m; no grade was assigned and no composite crossing the interval is reported.

No definitive grade–recovery relationship has been established, but local bias cannot be excluded where recovery is

poor.

Logging Whether samples have been geologically and

geotechnically logged to an appropriate level of

detail; whether logging is qualitative or

quantitative; and the proportion logged.

All core was geologically and geotechnically logged by qualified geologists for lithology, oxidation, alteration,

mineralization, veining, recovery and structures. Oriented structural measurements were recorded where possible.

Wet and dry core photographs were taken. The full length of each hole was logged.

Each rock chip sample was recorded by sample ID, sample type, prospect, easting, northing, RL and geological

description, including host rock and quartz-vein characteristics.

Sub-sampling techniques

and sample preparation

Nature, quality and appropriateness of sample

preparation and sub-sampling; quality-control

procedures; sample representivity; and whether

sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of

the material.

Core was sawn lengthwise and half core was bagged for submission. Sample intervals were generally about one

metre and adjusted to geological contacts. SGS preparation comprised drying, crushing, pulverising and splitting to

produce a representative pulp for analysis. Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material and analytical

method, subject to the recovery limitations disclosed above. No quarter-core field duplicates were collected for

this program.

Each rock chip sample was placed in labelled bags and submitted to SGS Waihi. SGS preparation comprised drying,

crushing, pulverising and splitting. The selective grab method limits sample representivity.

Quality of assay data and

laboratory tests

Nature, quality and appropriateness of analytical

procedures; whether methods are partial or total;

and the nature of laboratory and field quality-

control procedures.

Gold assays were completed by SGS Waihi using method FAA303: lead-collection fire assay on a nominal 30g

charge with AAS finish and a reported range of 0.01–100ppm Au. This is considered appropriate for the expected

mineralization. Company blanks and certified reference materials were inserted and laboratory repeats were

completed. Available batch QA/QC was reviewed; blank and CRM performance was acceptable for reporting the

supplied results.

Verification of sampling

and assaying

Verification of significant results; use of twinned

holes; documentation of primary data; and any

adjustments to assay data.

Assay files were received electronically and matched to hole, sample and depth records. Significant intersections

were recalculated from original Au values using length weighting. Laboratory repeat values were reviewed but were

not substituted for original values. No twinned holes were drilled and no adjustments were made to assay data.

Data are held on Company computers and cloud storage.

Rock chip sample IDs, locations, descriptions and primary and repeat Au values were checked against the supplied

sample register. Original assays are reported; the repeat is disclosed separately and no adjustment was made. No

independent check assays are recorded.

Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys; grid system; and

adequacy of topographic control.

Collars were surveyed using differential GPS to approximately 0.1m accuracy and reported in NZGD2000 /

NZTM2000. Hole traces were surveyed with a Directa Hybrid north-seeking downhole gyro. Publicly available LINZ

LIDAR provides topographic control.

Rock chip sample locations were surveyed with a handheld Garmin GPS and are reported to the nearest metre in

NZGD2000 / NZTM2000.

Data spacing and

distribution

Data spacing for reporting; whether spacing is

sufficient to establish continuity; and whether

compositing was applied.

Core sampling was generally on nominal one-meter intervals, modified for geological boundaries. Current drilling is

exploratory and spacing is not sufficient to establish geological or grade continuity for a Mineral Resource.

Reported assay composites are length-weighted as described under Data aggregation methods.

Rock chip samples were collected selectively where veined mullock or mineralised outcrop was accessible. All five

individual results are disclosed; no compositing was applied. The spacing is insufficient to establish geological or

grade continuity.

Orientation of data in

relation to geological

structure

Whether sampling orientation achieves unbiased

sampling and whether structural relationships may

introduce bias.

The geometry and continuity of individual mineralized structures are not sufficiently constrained to determine true

widths. Drilling was designed to intersect the interpreted Jubilee South corridor, but multiple fault and veinlet

orientations are present. Any orientation bias has not been quantified; all reported intervals are downhole lengths.

Sample security Measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were collected and bagged by Otagold/MEX personnel and delivered to the laboratory by Company

personnel. Sample numbers were checked against submission records and laboratory results.

Audits or reviews Results of any audits or reviews of sampling

techniques and data.

Internal checks of collar, interval and assay data were completed for this announcement. No independent external

audit of the drilling, sampling or data-management system has been completed for the reported program.
