Minerals Exploration Executive Director, Brett Mitchell said: “The September quarter

delivered significant progress across our New Zealand brownfields gold and tungsten

project portfolio. Drilling at Jubilee South confirmed the continuation of a large

mineralised system south of the historic Jubilee Mine, whilst our review of the Sovereign

Prospect identified several compelling drill targets from on high grade gold intercepts

from historical drilling. At Glenorchy, high-grade tungsten results have reinforced the

prospectivity of the Invincible Gold-Tungsten Project and provide a strong foundation for

future exploration programs including the first tungsten drill program at the historic

Davidsons Mine in early 2027.”

WAITEKAURI GOLD PROJECT

The Waitekauri Gold Project occupies 58km² within New Zealand's highly prospective

Hauraki Goldfield and lies within a major northeast-southwest mineralised structural

corridor hosting numerous multi-million-ounce gold deposits, including OceanaGold’s

Waihi Gold Mine (+10Moz Au), and 4.5km directly along strike from OceanaGold’s 2.2Moz

@ 14.3g/t Au WKP deposit.

Jubilee South Diamond Drilling

The Company completed its second-stage diamond drilling campaign at the Jubilee

South Prospect during the quarter, with four holes (TGW011-TGW014) drilled for a total

of 633.5m. The program was designed to test shallow extensions of the high-grade

mineralisation historically mined at the Jubilee Gold Mine and to improve understanding

of the southern continuation of the Jubilee vein system toward Sovereign.

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

1

:

• 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

• TGW014: 52.5m @ 0.25g/t Au from 47.5m to end of hole, including 8.5m @ 0.52g/t

Au from 55.0m

• 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

• 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.

While the exceptional grades reported from historical underground sampling at the

Jubilee Mine were not replicated in this first phase MEX drilling program, the results

demonstrated that gold mineralisation occurs within a broad hydrothermal alteration

envelope rather than being restricted to a single narrow vein. The geological model

indicates that favourable structures, permeability contrasts and lithological contacts

played a key role in gold deposition.

The results have significantly enhanced the Company's understanding of the Jubilee-

Sovereign mineralising system and has been incorporated into an updated three-

dimensional geological model, that is now being used to design the next priority drilling

targets at the Jubilee Gold Project.

Sovereign Gold Prospect

The Company progressed geological interpretation and drill planning at the Sovereign

Gold Prospect, located immediately south-west of the Jubilee system. Compilation and

digitisation of historical data from previous drilling and soil sampling programs by

Amoco Minerals NZ in 1981 and Cyprus Gold NZ between 1991 to 2003 identified multiple

mineralised structures and several high-priority targets supported by historical drilling

and underground sampling.

Key historical drilling results, which are the basis for a new Sovereign diamond program

currently being designed by the Company, include

3

:


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 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 and 4.0m @ 2.6g/t Au from 254m


Historical underground channel sampling also delivered encouraging results including:

• MUA1a: 43m @ 2.30g/t Au

• MUA1b: 20m @ 3.26g/t Au

• MUA2: 115m @ 3.64g/t Au

Planning advanced towards an initial drilling campaign at Sovereign, which is being

designed to test the interpreted continuation of mineralisation between Jubilee and

Sovereign and evaluate several high-grade target zones.

INVINCIBLE GOLD- TUNGSTEN PROJECT, OTAGO GOLDFIELDS

The Invincible Gold –Tungsten Project shares key geological features with several large

gold deposits in the Otago Goldfields in the South Island, including OceanaGold’s world

class Macraes Gold Mine located 170km to the southeast, and Santana Minerals’ 2.2Moz

Au Bendigo-Ophir deposit located 65km to the east.

The Board believes there is potential for commercial scale deposits to be hosted in the

same structural settings as Macraes and Bendigo-Ophir, both of which are of a bulk

tonnage nature with discrete high-grade gold and tungsten zones.

Following the grant of the Prospecting Permit in November 2025, the Company has

completed initial exploration work programs and submitted an Exploration Permit

Application, which is being processed by NZPAM and on grant will allow exploration

drilling activities. The Company’s current work programs are focused on data acquisition

and target definition for priority drill targeting. The Exploration Permit is going through

the approval process with NZPAM and is currently expected to be granted towards the

end of 2026.

Lower Invincible Target – Recent High Grade Tungsten Results

Recent selective sampling at the Lower Invincible target returned high-grade tungsten-

bearing historical mullock. The target lies southwest of the historic Invincible mine

within a structurally complex part of the project containing historical workings and

previous gold anomalism. The original bedrock source of the tungsten-bearing material

remains to be located.

The Lower Invincible target lies southwest of the historic mine and close to McDougalls

Creek (Figure 5), within Caples Group Schist affected by brittle deformation and veining.

Historical workings around Watherston’s Reef occur in this area, although their exact

structural relationship to the mined Invincible vein has not yet been demonstrated.

Hay and Craw (1993) described the Invincible Vein as a steep northeast-striking fault

zone containing both brittle and ductile structures and evidence of later reactivation.

District-scale work on the Glenorchy Au-W vein system also shows that quartz ±

scheelite ± gold veins occur within fault-fracture networks and can be localised at

favourable dilational sites.

These observations support a segmented exploration model in which high-grade

mineralised positions may be repeated, offset or locally developed rather than forming

a single continuous reef. This is the key geological rationale for systematic structural

mapping and target testing across the Lower Invincible area.

The Lower Invincible area includes the Watherston’s Reef target. Historical records

mention abandoned shafts near Watherston’s Reef that were apparently intended to

test the southwestern continuation of the reef worked by the Invincible Mining Company

and also noted the potential for enhanced mineralisation around reef intersections.

The new tungsten-bearing mullock strengthens the case for detailed follow-up in an

area that was independently regarded as prospective by earlier workers and that now

contains direct evidence of high-grade tungsten mineralization which is accompanying

high grade gold systems at Macraes and Bendigo hosted in Otago schists.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling;

representivity; material aspects of

determination of mineralisation.

A1496-A1502 were collected during reconnaissance

geological mapping in the Lower Invincible area.

A1498-A1502 are selective grab samples from

historical mine mullock; A1496 was collected from

subcropping material interpreted in the field as a

possible quartz vein. A1490-A1493 were collected

during separate first-pass grassroots reconnaissance

around the historic Davidsons Mine, from outcrop and

float, to test for mineralisation beyond the old

workings. None of the samplings were designed to

estimate representative average grade, mineralised

width or continuity.

Drilling techniques Drill type, diameter, orientation and

equipment.

Not applicable - no drilling results are reported in this

announcement.

Drill sample recovery Recovery measurement, bias and

relationship between recovery and

grade.

Not applicable - no drilling results are reported in this

announcement.

Logging Geological logging,

qualitative/quantitative nature and

completeness.

Samples were field logged by sample type and

geological characteristics. Descriptions record quartz,

sulphides, arsenopyrite, pyrite and visible scheelite

where observed. Logging is qualitative and appropriate

for reconnaissance rock-chip sampling.

Sub-sampling techniques

and sample preparation

Sample preparation and

representivity, including duplicates

and sample size.

Rock-chip and mullock samples were submitted to

SGS New Zealand for laboratory preparation and

analysis.

Quality of assay data and

laboratory tests

Assay methods, analytical limits and

QA/QC.

Gold was analysed by SGS method FAA505 (50 g fire

assay with AAS finish; 0.01-100 ppm Au). Multi-

element analysis, including W, used IMS90Q following

sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-MS, with an upper

limit of 5,000 ppm W. A1498, A1499 and A1501

exceeded that limit and were re-analysed by

GO_XRF72 borate-fusion XRF for ore-grade WO₃.

Verification of sampling

and assaying

Independent or alternative

verification, duplicates, data

procedures and adjustments.

A repeat of A1498 reproduced >5,000 ppm W. A

duplicate of A1500 returned 155 ppm W compared

with 174 ppm W in the original sample. Gold

repeat/duplicate results are included in the SGS

analytical report. No adjustment has been made to

laboratory Au results; direct ore-grade WO₃ results are

reported for the three over-range W samples.

Location of data points Survey accuracy, grid system and

topographic control.

Sample locations are recorded in NZTM2000 /

NZGD2000 and are tabulated to the nearest metre in

Appendix 1. Sampling was selective and

reconnaissance-based and was not undertaken on a

regular grid. The sample spacing and distribution are

insufficient to

establish geological or grade continuity.

Data spacing and

distribution
