1 Refer to ALY ASX Announcement 31 May 2024 – Exceptional High Grade Iron Ore at Valley Bore
Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX: ALY) (“Alchemy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the iron ore rights on its joint venture with Carey Mining Pty Ltd (“Carey”). Recent work has confirmed the Valley Bore prospect is highly prospective for iron ore with high grade hematite and banded iron outcrops extending over 2 km in strike and widths of 10-80m. Rock-chip assays from field work in 2024 returned grades up 64.9% Fe from the Southern Ridge target and recent assays up to 65.9% Fe were reported from new zones located 3km to the south-west along strike which further underscores the Project's growth potential.
Chief Executive Officer Mr James Wilson commented: “We’re excited to announce the acquisition of the remaining interest in the JV exploration licences, bringing our ownership of the iron ore on these tenements to 100%. The Project continues to deliver promising results, with high-grade iron ore rock-chip samples returning assays above 65% Fe—strongly supporting the Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) potential on a granted mining lease at Valley Bore prospect. The opportunity is particularly compelling given our strategic location 12km from the Great Northern Highway and surrounded by major players in the sector”.
TRANSACTION TERMS
The transaction involves a $75,000 cash settlement for 100% ownership of the iron ore rights in E52/2361, E52/2362, M52/685, M52/737, M52/753, M52/795, M52/796, M52/797, M52/844-I and M52/1049. Under the agreement Alchemy has agreed to grant Carey a gradational royalty on iron ore sold FOB (freight on board) from the Project, as summarised below:
| Iron Ore Price (US$/t) | Royalty (A$/t) |
|---|---|
| <$100/t | $0.80 |
| $100-125/t | $1.00 |
| >$125/t | $1.22 |

BRYAH IRON ORE (Alchemy 100%)
In May 2024, Alchemy geologists conducted a reconnaissance mapping and sampling trip to Valley Bore prospect. Twenty (20) rock-chip samples were collected from the banded iron formation (“BIF”) outcrops within the Valley Bore prospect on M52/844-I and E52/4090. This area is dominated by two distinct northeast trending ridges comprised of BIF, banded chert, siltstone, haematitic shales, and massive hematite lenses (Figure 3). Alchemy now retains the rights to 100% of the mineral rights for all minerals including iron ore on the tenement.

Alchemy Resources Limited – ASX Announcement
Northern Ridge Target:
The northern ridge in the Valley Bore area is characterised by numerous banded iron and banded chert formations which outcrop for approximately 1.5km along strike. Hematite and goethite rich units of BIF are observed. These lenses are between 5 and 15 metres thick and are interpreted to extend along strike to the southwest, with historic sampling of hematite outcrop returning grades up to 61.91% Fe (Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5)[1,2] .
Southern Ridge Target:
The southern ridge of the Valley Bore area is dominated by laterally extensive hematite units, several BIFs and banded chert units (Figure 4). The massive hematite unit can be followed along strike for over 800 metres in strike and ranges from 10m to 100m wide (Figure 4). High grade rock-chip assays were received, including up to 65.3% Fe in sample VB005. This unit is interpreted to continue along strike with recent mapping confirming hematite outcrop assays up to 60.2% Fe in sample VB001, approximately 750m to the southwest of Southern Ridge Target (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6)[1] .
Old Highway Target:
The Old Highway target lies in the south-east corner of tenement E52/4090 (Figure 3). The area is dominated by a long, northeast trending ridge consisting of inter-bedded siltstone, banded chert, and minor BIFs. Iron enrichment and hematite lenses are observed within the BIFs and on the eastern end of the ridge. High grade iron ore enrichment is related to hematite within a fold hinge on the eastern side of the prospect. Previous sampling returned grades within the high-grade hematite zone up to 64.09% Fe (Figure 8)[ 1,3] .

HISTORIC WORK BY ALCHEMY
Iron ore potential in the Robinson Range was first outlined in work by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (“GSWA”) in the 1970s which outlined the Valley Bore and Old Highway target areas. Work completed by Alchemy in 2008 and 2009 included detailed mapping and sampling of the outcrops at Valley Bore and Old Highway prospects. Assay results from samples collected from Valley Bore prospect returned high grade iron mineralisation with average assays of 60.95% Fe[1] . The Alumina, Silica and Phosphorous assays from these samples exhibited low deleterious element values. The majority of the high-grade samples were collected from the Southern Ridge target. Historic assay results are included in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.

Table 6: Rock-chip sample data (2024)[1]
Alchemy Resources collected rock-chip samples from the Valley Bore and Old Highway prospects in 2008 and 2009 shown below.
The Company cautions investors that the reported historical assay results by Alchemy are from prior public exploration reports and ASX releases. Whilst they are a product of Alchemy’s exploration activities, they cannot be independently verified. The Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose the Exploration Results in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, and it is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the prior reported Exploration Results may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012. The information in the market announcement is an accurate representation of the available data and studies completed to date. All historical information in this release has been compiled from ALY’s ASX release on 25 July 2008 titled “Assay results of high-grade hematite iron formation at Robinson Range” and a second ASX release dated 15 May 2009 titled “Alchemy enhances potential for high grade iron formation at Three Rivers”. Information is considered as historical by nature, and while all care has been taken to review previous reports, sufficient ground testing and confirmation work is ongoing and yet to be completed.

APPENDIX A
JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Rock-chip samples collected from surface of subcrop/outcrop areas and selected following field inspection by qualified field geologists. Rock-chip samples collected from approximate 10m2area of scree/subcrop/outcrop. Sample weights are approximately 3kg. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
Not Applicable – Rock-chip sampling only. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Not Applicable – Rock-chip sampling only. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Rock-chip sample descriptions are considered qualitative in nature. Rock-chip samples are logged at the time of collection and designated a lithological name and textural/structural observations where possible. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Sample preparation of Alchemy samples follows industry best practice standards at accredited laboratories. Sample preparation comprises oven drying, jaw crushing and pulverisingto -75 microns(80% firstpass). |

Alchemy Resources Limited – ASX Announcement
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second- half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes (~3kg) are considered appropriate for the technique. Samples were collected in dry conditions and placed in numbered calico bags and grouped in polyweave bags for dispatch to the laboratory. All samples have subsequently been delivered to the ALS Laboratory in Perth for analysis. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Valley Bore Rock-chip samples submitted to ALS laboratories for 24 elements by XRF analysis (ME-XRF21). This technique is considered total for elements assayed. The analytical techniques and quality control protocols used are considered appropriate for the data to be used. Historic samples were submitted to Spectrolab Laboratories in Geraldton and were analysed via XRF fusion and Loss on Ignition analysis. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
This report contains a compilation of current and historical results. On ground verification was conducted with some samples taken in proximity to historic data. Verification, including on ground checking is ongoing. Not Applicable – Rock-chip sampling only. Data digitally recorded in the field and uploaded to secure database. No adjustment to assay data. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No drilling results reported. Selective sampling dependent on suitable outcrop/subcrop. Unknown sample representivity at this early stage of exploration sampling. No compositing undertaken on rock-chip samples. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Rock-chip sampling only and samples selected from limited subcrop and outcrop areas. No compositing undertaken on soil samples. This report contains a compilation of historical results, ongoing verification, including on-ground checking in pending. Not Applicable – Rock-chip sampling only. |
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. | Soil samples are collected in polyweave bags and delivered directly from site to the assay laboratory in Perth by Alchemy employees. |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Data was reviewed by Company geologists to determine the validity of the data with sampling checks conducted to determine if data collection contained any internal errors. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
Type – Exploration Licence (currently in good standing). Reference name – Bryah, Valley Bore, Old Highway. Reference number – M52/844-I, E52/4090, E52/4088, E52/4087. Location – 130km north of Meekatharra, Australia. Ownership – 100% Alchemy Resources (Three Rivers Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alchemy Resources Limited). Alchemy retains the rights to 100% of the mineral rights for all minerals with the exception of E52/2361, E52/2362, M52/685, M52/737, M52/753, M52 795, M52/796, M52/797, M52/1049 which are a 20% free carried interest under the Billabong Joint Venture which it shares with Catalyst Metals Ltd where Alchemy Resources (Three Rivers) retains 100% interest in the iron ore rights, but a 20% free carried interest in all other minerals. Overriding royalties – Troy Resources - 75c/tonne production royalty on iron ore production from the Project. The land is 100% freehold. No Wilderness Reserves, National Parks, Native Title sites or registered historical sites are known. No environmental issues are known. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
A significant amount of exploration has been conducted across the majority of M52/844-I, E52/4090, E52/4088 by Sandfire Resources and Independence Group Ltd. Iron ore potential in the Robinson Range was first outlined in work by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Sofoulis J, 1970, Iron Deposits of the Robinson Range, Peak Hill Goldfields, WA. GSWA Record 1970/6). Historical exploration by Alchemy Resources was conducted in 2008-2009 which included mapping and a rock-chipping program where 55 samples were collected. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation |
Deposit Type – Iron ore. Geological setting – Valley Bore is dominated by two distinct northeast trending ridges. These ridges are comprised of banded iron formations, banded chert, siltstone, hematitic shales, and massive hematite lenses. These ridges are separated by a thick siltstone unit with minor sandstone. An inferred northwest trending fault is also interpreted to cut across the target area. |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detractfrom the understanding of |
Not Applicable – no drillhole results are reported. |

| the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
||
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Not Applicable – Rock-chip sampling only. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Not Applicable – No drillhole results reported. Appropriate disclosure on reporting historical results is provided with this release. All reported rock-chip results are to be considered as historical and are subject to verification and confirmation works by the Company. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate diagrams have been included in the body of this announcement showing the location of the Rock-chip samples. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Reporting of the results is considered balanced. A table showing Rock-chip sample locations has been included in this release. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All meaningful data and information have been included in the body of the report. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Future work entails follow up sampling prior to drill testing. |
