Clarification - New priority exploration targets confirmed at Bortala Copper Project

Highlights

  • Multiple high priority targets identified from a detailed review of geochemical data at the 100% owned Bortala Copper Project, in the Mt Isa district, northern Queensland

  • Two high priority gold and base metals prospects have been identified – associated with major regional scale structures and favourable host lithologies;

  • R9 Anomaly – planned expansion of soil sample area to 6.4m[2] across a historical soil sample area of ~ 0.7km[2] with copper anomalism up to 740ppm Cu and supporting coincident gold, antimony, lead and zinc anomalies

  • Nara West Prospect – a largely untested area of 4.4km[2 ] targeting potential IOCG and structural hosted copper mineralisation .

  • Additional four priority prospects identified across the Bortala Project

  • Aruma is targeting potential regional scale gold and base metal mineralisation , including iron oxide copper gold (IOCG), sediment hosted and structural hosted copper .

  • o None of the identified anomalies have been drill tested , and they represent outstanding initial exploration opportunities .

  • Next StepsProposed infill soil sampling program to refine anomalies, to commence Q1 2026 - program designed to refine targets for the first-phase of drilling (subject to results).

Aruma Resources Limited (ASX: AAJ) (Aruma or the Company ) is pleased to announce that is has confirmed multiple new, priority exploration targets at its 100%-owned Bortala Project (EPM28271) in the northern Mt Isa region of Queensland.

The targets have been generated from a comprehensive technical review of historical exploration data for the Bortala Project and has further confirmed the R9 Anomaly and Nara East Prospect as the initial highest priority exploration targets at Bortala, while also identifying an additional four priority targets across the Project area.

Aruma Resources managing director Grant Ferguson said:

“Our team has completed a thorough technical review and initial field reconnaissance at the Bortala Copper Project, delivering a strong pipeline of well-defined targets in a highly prospective part of the Mt Isa Eastern Succession. By integrating re-processed historical geochemical and drilling data with new structural interpretations, we have quickly established a compelling portfolio of copper targets.

The priority R9 Anomaly and Nara East prospects are now clearly delineated and ready for systematic follow-up work. The detailed soil sampling programs at these target areas are fully planned, and we look forward to commencing soil sampling and geophysics in Q1, 2026 once final approvals are received. This positions Bortala to deliver steady, high-quality exploration news flow and a strong start to field activities in 2026, in close proximity to operating mines and infrastructure.”

Based on the positive outcomes of the technical review, Aruma plans to undertake a detailed soil sampling program in the following quarter upon receipt of requisite approvals. The program is designed to refine the target anomalies to vector in on a planned first-phase drilling program (subject to results).

Sampling is planned to be undertaken on a 200m x 50m infill soil sampling grid. Material results will be reported when available.

The Bortala Project is located in the northern area of the Mt Isa region, immediately south of 29Metals’ (ASX: 29M) high-grade Capricorn Copper Mine (Combined Mineral Resource Estimate of 64.8Mt @ 1.8% Cu – 29M: ASX announcement 21 May 2024), and is interpreted as being prospective for uranium, stratiform copper-gold and iron-oxide copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

R9 Anomaly Prospect

The R9 Anomaly was initially defined by Ashton Mining Limited in 1989 through soil geochemical sampling, identifying a north–south-trending copper anomaly with a strike extent of approximately 400m. This anomaly remains open to the east and south and is situated approximately 120m west of a polyphase quartz-vein breccia system exposed at surface over a strike length of 420m and attaining a maximum true width of 10m (Figure 2).

Figure 2 – R9 Anomaly Prospect at Bortala Project showing historic drilling and sampling locations[1]

The outcropping quartz-vein breccia was tested by Ashton Mining Limited in 1988 with a total of 224m of percussion and diamond drilling. The most significant gold intercept reported was 2m at 0.25 g/t Au from 46m depth in reverse circulation (RC) drillhole R9PDH3[1] .

A recent reassessment of historical soil geochemical data has confirmed a coherent, multi-element (Cu-Au-Pb-Zn) anomaly exhibiting strong spatial coincidence. This anomaly is interpreted to reflect a significant second order, north–south structure developed subsidiary to a major regional northwest–southeast fault system.

Sampling Program Details

In response to these findings, the Company has designed an expanded soil-sampling program covering an area of 6.5km². The new grid is configured to incorporate and infill the historical sampling footprint while extending coverage across the interpreted major northwest–southeast controlling structure.

The R9 Anomaly prospect is considered prospective for structurally hosted copper mineralisation of the style currently exploited at the Capricorn Copper Mine, located 19km west of the R9 Anomaly (Figure 1). A total of 670 soil samples from a 200m x 50m grid are planned to be collected across the prospect.

Nara East Prospect

The newly identified Nara East Prospect is situated approximately 4km southeast of the Capricorn Copper Mine (Figure 1). This prospect has been elevated to high-priority status following a detailed structural geology review, integrated with re-evaluation of limited historical soil, stream-sediment, and rock-chip geochemical data from the area.

The Nara East Prospect is interpreted to represent a structurally complex domain with favourable architecture for the development of structurally controlled copper mineralisation. Additionally, a ‐ noted alteration signature in the volcanics is indicative of intense sodic calcic alteration and may indicate a potential for iron oxide copper gold alteration (IOCG).

A systematic soil-sampling programme has been designed for the prospect, comprising 400 samples to be collected on a regular 200m × 50m grid.

The sampling target area is regarded as highly prospective for structurally controlled copper and IOCG mineralisation styles. These deposit classes are recognised globally for their potential to host large-tonnage, high-grade orebodies.

Mt Isa Regional Perspective

The Mount Isa Inlier represents a world-class metallogenic province characterised by numerous large-scale, structurally hosted copper and IOCG systems. Within the Eastern Fold Belt (particularly the Cloncurry–Selwyn district) and parts of the Western Succession, protracted tectono-magmatic activity during the Isan Orogeny (ca. 1600–1500 Ma) produced regional-scale fault architectures and associated Na-Ca ± K-Fe alteration assemblages that served as conduits and traps for metalliferous fluids. These processes have given rise to Tier-1 deposits such as Ernest Henry and a spectrum of structurally controlled high-grade copper systems (e.g., Mount Isa Cu orebodies, Mammoth, Esperanza and Lady Annie).

Consequently, the combination of favourable structural preparation, demonstrated metal endowment and recurrent association with IOCG and fault-hosted copper mineralisation within the inlier underpins the exceptional prospectivity of the identified targets.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Aruma Resources Ltd.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

The following data is in relation to soil sampling in this announcement. Information regarding drilling has been reported on previously (2 July 2024 “High Priority Targets Identified at Bortala Copper Project”).

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.
• R9 Anomaly soil sampling grid was designed to provide vectors to
mineralisation, with each grid location determined by existing nearby
rock chip anomalies.
• In 1988, Ashton Mining Limited completed the R9 Anomaly soil
sample program, collecting 290 soil samples (refer following Table A).

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.

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:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the case.
• Bortala drilling information has been detailed previous in the Aruma
Resources (ASX:AAJ) ASX Press Release – 2 July 2024 “High Priority
Targets Identified at Bortala Copper Project” and locations are included
in this announcement – refer tables 1 and 2.
Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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.

Resources (ASX:AAJ) ASX Press Release – 2 July 2024 “High Priority
Targets Identified at Bortala Copper Project”
• Metal equivalents have not been used.
• Soil sample results do not receive any manipulation.
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’).
• Bortala drilling information has been detailed previously in the Aruma
Resources (ASX:AAJ) ASX Press Release – 2 July 2024 “High Priority
Targets Identified at Bortala Copper Project”
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.
• Please refer to the accompanying announcement for figures and maps
for locations of historical soil samples and drill hole locations.
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.
• Public reporting of exploration results by Aruma and past tenement
holders and explorers are considered balanced.
• The proportion of mineralized and unmineralized holes has been report
previously.
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 information is historic for the Bortala project. No other substantive
data is available to elaborate further on these results
Further Work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. 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.
• Aruma Resources intends to continue exploration including drilling
activities in the described area
