HIGH-PRIORITY GOLD TARGET AT BALAGUNDI

First Drilling in 30 Years Planned for Fluffy Prospect

Highlights

  • Historic drill hits up to 45m @ 1.35g/t Au and rock chips to 32.9g/t Au highlight Fluffy Prospect as a high-priority gold target at Balagundi, WA

  • Accelerate’s new geophysical and geochemical surveys sharpen prospective mineralised target under shallow cover

  • 1,500m Aircore program planned for multiple priority targets in largely untested area

  • First drilling at Fluffy in over 30 years set for early Q2 2026

Accelerate Resources Limited (“AX8”, “Accelerate” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce that recent geological, geochemical and geophysical work has elevated the Fluffy Prospect (refer Figure 2) as a high-priority gold target within the Balagundi Project, Western Australia.

The prospect is supported by historic drill intersections and high-grade rock-chip results (Figure 1), while recent work has refined a gold-prospective contact beneath shallow cover and identified priority targets for drilling.

A 1,500m Aircore drill program is planned for early Q2 2026 to test newly defined targets beneath shallow cover, marking the first drilling at the prospect in more than 30 years.

Luke Meter, CEO of Accelerate Resources commented : “Fluffy is shaping as another compelling gold target within Balagundi Project. Historic drill and rock-chip results confirm the presence of gold mineralisation, and our recent geophysical and geochemical work has sharpened drill targeting beneath shallow cover. With first drilling planned in more than 30 years, we are looking forward to testing this underexplored target in early Q2.”

Background – Fluffy Prospect

The Fluffy Prospect was identified from shallow historical gold workings, with previous wide-spaced shallow drilling across the broader prospect returning multiple anomalous to ore-grade gold intersections, including 45m @ 1.35g/t Au (BHR042) , 10m @ 1.16g/t Au (BDD2) and 6m @ 1.85g/t Au (BHRC003). Despite these results, the broader target remains only lightly tested, with no drilling undertaken since the 1990s due to historical tenement ownership constraints.

Rock-chip sampling of iron-stained, quartz-poor rocks near the historic workings has returned significant gold values, further supporting the prospectivity of Fluffy, including[1] :

  • 29.2 g/t Au (AA723) 32.9 g/t Au (BGMS058)

  • • • 6.6 g/t Au (AA721) 15.8 g/t Au (BGMS068)

The limited quartz vein content observed in some mineralised samples is considered encouraging, as it may indicate a gold-sulphide association linked to a broader lode-style mineralised system within the prospect area.

Gradient Array IP Survey – Key Findings

AX8 recently completed a wide-spaced Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (“GAIP”) survey across the Fluffy Prospect to map prospective basement geology beneath shallow transported cover.

The resistivity data has outlined previously unrecognised lithological and structural trends and successfully traced the prospective Catrock contact beneath cover, providing a strong new vector for drill targeting (Figure 3).

Arsenic Geochemistry Provides Strong Exploration Vector

Arsenic is a well-recognised pathfinder element for gold mineralisation in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Implicit modelling of available arsenic geochemistry in drilling has outlined a broad and coherent anomaly with strong geological context.

Peak arsenic responses occur parallel to the historical workings and broader gold trends, and also extend into underexplored areas to the west and north along the interpreted Catrock contact. These zones have seen only limited or very widely spaced historical

reconnaissance drilling and are considered priority targets for the upcoming Aircore program.

Next Steps

AX8 is planning a 1,500m Aircore drill program in early Q2 2026 to test extensions of the prospective Catrock contact and coincident arsenic anomalies beneath shallow cover.

The program will test multiple priority targets generated from integrated geological mapping, geochemistry and geophysics.

Balagundi Project Overview

The Balagundi Project (Figure) is located approximately 15km east of Kalgoorlie within the Norseman–Wiluna Belt of the Yilgarn Craton, close to Northern Star’s +6Moz Kanowna Belle gold mine and the +70Moz KCGM Super Pit.

The Project covers approximately 27km² of highly prospective geology , including porphyritic basalts, dolerite sills, sediments and felsic intrusives, in a setting considered favourable for Archaean gold systems.

Despite its location in one of Western Australia’s premier gold districts, Balagundi remains underexplored due to historical private ownership and extensive shallow cover. With multiple high-grade targets and access to nearby toll treatment infrastructure, the Project offers significant exploration upside.
