Asara Expands Kada Gold Project

West African gold explorer Asara Resources Limited (ASX: AS1; Asara or Company ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement ( HoA ) to acquire 100% of Arafura Ouest PTE Ltd ( Arafura ), that, via its wholly owned Guinean subsidiary, holds two prospective gold exploration permits in Guinea.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Asara will acquire 100% of the issued capital of Arafura, a Singaporean incorporated entity which holds, via its wholly owned Guinean subsidiary, Ara Exploration SARLU ( Ara Exploration ) the two exploration permits ( Transaction ).

  • The two exploration permits - Damissa Koura and Kankan West ( Permits ) are located in the highly prospective Siguiri Basin in northeast Guinea.

  • Acquisition of the Permits significantly expands Asara’s exploration portfolio in the Siguiri Basin of Guinea to ~296km[2] .

  • Damissa Koura which is located adjacent to Asara’s advanced flagship Kada Gold Project ( Kada ), is the more advanced permit with historical exploration having been completed by Newmont Corporation ( Newmont ), as at Kada. Newmont conducted reverse circulation ( RC ) and air core ( AC ) drilling at Damissa Koura, discovering broad zones of deep oxide gold mineralisation.

  • Drilling was completed by Newmont in 2009 and 2011 at two targets within Damissa Koura. Notable historical gold intersections include:

  • 4m at 8.0g/t Au from 38m & 16m at 3.0g/t Au from 54m (DKAC064)

  • 10m at 1.9g/t Au from 10m & 38m at 1.9g/t Au from 30m (DKAC067)

  • 8m at 4.5g/t Au from 48m (DKRC001)

  • 36m at 1.2g/t Au from 8m (DKRC016)

  • 32m at 1.7g/t Au from 24m (DKRC019)

  • 28m at 2.0g/t Au from 34m (DKRC034)

  • 17m at 2.0g/t Au from 53m (DKRC035)

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 9 December 2025

==> picture [131 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

  • Several interpreted mineralised zones extend for >1km and remain open along strike and at depth, particularly in the west of Damissa Koura.

  • Extensive artisanal mining operations are well established at the target areas within Damissa Koura at which reconnaissance field mapping and grab sampling has been completed by Asara. Additionally, artisanal miners have delineated significant gold in laterite ~2km northwest of Niandankoro, suggesting potential for a major mineralised corridor in the centre and west of Damissa Koura.

  • Asara expects to deliver an updated Mineral Resource estimate post-completion of the Phase 1 and 2 drilling campaigns that are currently underway, and it is possible that the exploration results at Damissa Koura could be included.

  • The Kankan West permit ( Kankan West ) is located ~70km south of the Kada Project and is approximately equidistant between the Robex Resources Inc (ASX: RXR; TSX-V: RBX) Kiniero Gold Mine (3.7 Moz; 50km west), the Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) Bankan Deposit (5.5 Moz; 50km west) and the Managem S.A. Tri-K Gold Mine (2.3 Moz; 50km northeast).

  • Completion of the Transaction is condition upon the satisfaction of legal, technical and financial due diligence, all necessary regulatory approvals in Guinea and Singapore and the entry into a Royalty Deed in respect of a net smelter royalty on the Permits.

Further details about the Transaction are detailed in Appendix 1 of this announcement.

Matt Sharples, CEO of Asara, commented:

“We are pleased to have secured this opportunity to acquire the Ara Exploration permits which not only significantly expands Asara’s exploration portfolio within the prolific Siguiri Basin of Guinea, but also directly increases the footprint of our flagship Kada Gold Project.

Previous drilling by Newmont at the Damissa Koura permit successfully delineated multiple, broad, zones of deep oxide gold mineralisation. These areas today support extensive artisanal mining activities. We have already completed verification mapping of the permits, and we look forward to starting our exploration fieldwork following settlement of the Transaction.”

Damissa Koura Permit

The Damissa Koura permit covers an area of ~98.5km² and is located ~5km immediately east of the eastern boundary of the Kada permit (Figures 1 & 2). With the addition of the adjacent Damissa Koura permit, the area of the Kada Project increases to approximately 199km².

As with the Kada permit, Newmont conducted RC and AC drilling at Damissa Koura. Drilling was completed between 2009 and 2011 and comprised ~1,100m of RC drilling from 11 drill holes and ~4,414m of AC drilling from 51 drill holes. Drilling was focussed on targeting several artisanal mining sites, i.e. the Damissa Koura and Niandankoro targets (Figure 2). The historical Newmont drill hole collar details are summarised in Tables 1 and 3. Gold intersections are presented at 0.5g/t gold cutoff and presented in Tables 2 and 4.

Several broad zones of deep oxide gold mineralisation were discovered at the Damissa Koura prospect (Figure 3) with Newmont commenting that the highest tenures of gold mineralisation were hosted in quartz vein breccias. Gold drilling intersections from Newmont’s historical exploration at Damissa Koura include:

4m at 8.0g/t Au from 38m & 16m at 3.0g/t Au from 54m (DKAC064)

10m at 1.9g/t Au from 10m & 38m at 1.9g/t Au from 30m (DKAC067)

8m at 4.5g/t Au from 48m (DKRC001)

36m at 1.2g/t Au from 8m (DKRC016)

32m at 1.7g/t Au from 24m (DKRC019)

28m at 2.0g/t Au from 34m (DKRC034)

17m at 2.0g/t Au from 53m (DKRC035)

The interpreted mineralised zones extend for 500m and remain open at depth. Approximately 300m along strike to the south-southeast anomalous rock chip samples up to 6.2g/t gold were previously collected by the Company from several zones of intense bedrock quartz vein mineralisation located in artisanal workings. In January 2021, the Company was looking to acquire Ara Exploration and collected 282 rock chip samples from the Damissa Koura prospect. The acquisition was not completed.

In addition, artisanal miners have discovered significant gold in laterite 1km to the north-northwest of the Newmont drilling area, suggesting potential for a major mineralised corridor in the western portion of Damissa Koura.

Most of the bedrock within Damissa Koura has shallow laterite or soil cover, with outcrop rare. Where outcrop is present, it is generally associated with mineralised quartz veining (Figure 4), as mapped and confirmed by the Company during reconnaissance field mapping. It is envisaged that initial exploration planned to be undertaken at Damissa Koura will include a systematic auger drilling program over the entire permit area to delineate additional targets of anomalous gold beneath the laterite cover.

Auger drilling has demonstrated cost efficiency and operational effectiveness as an early-stage exploration method for delineating geochemical targets, with proven success for Asara. Asara will deploy its PRD Sonalika 4×4, 75 HP tractor-mounted auger rig to initiate drilling at Damissa Koura; the rig is currently operating on the adjacent Banfele permit of the Kada Project.

Kankan West Permit

The Kankan West permit covers an area of 96.1km² and is located ~70km south of Kada (Figure 1) and is approximately equidistant between the Robex Resources Inc (ASX: RXR; TSX-V: RBX) Kiniero Gold Mine (50km west), the Predictive Discovery Limited (ASX: PDI) Bankan Deposit (50km west) and the Managem S.A. Tri-K Gold Mine (50km northeast). No previous exploration has been conducted at the Kankan West permit. A site visit by the Company has confirmed that the bedrock at Kankan West is covered by soil and laterite.

Initially, Asara intends undertaking a comprehensive mapping campaign to identify any mineralised outcrops or artisanal mining communities, followed by a supporting BLEG gold-in-soil field sampling campaign to define targets for follow-up drilling (auger and/or AC).

ABOUT ASARA RESOURCES

Asara Resources Limited is an ASX listed exploration company with a portfolio of advanced minerals projects in Guinea, West Africa and in Chile, South America.

he ompan ’s fla ship project is the ad anced ada old roject in eastern inea inea remains one of the most under-explored countries in West Africa. Asara has outlined an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 30.3Mt at 1.0g/t gold for 923Koz[1] , the majority of which is shallow oxidetransitional gold mineralisation, as per Table 1. Asara is focussed on growing the Mineral Resource Estimate. Most of the 101km[2] project area remains under explored and there is considerable upside for the discovery of additional oxide gold mineralisation.

Asara also holds the Paguanta Copper and Silver-Lead-Zinc Project in northern Chile. The Company is seeking to divest these projects to focus on Kada.

At the adjacent Loreto Copper Project in Chile, Asara has signed a US$17m Option and Joint Venture agreement with Teck Resources Chile Limitada ( Teck ) whereby Teck can acquire up to a 75% interest in the project.

1 ASX Announcement: Kada Mineral Resource Estimate Update improves confidence; more than 40% of oxide gold now indicated dated 09 October 2023.

Appendix 2: JORC Code (2012 Edition), Assessment and Reporting Criteria

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Explanation
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.
The drilling results in this Press Release are historical and
as such many details are unknown.
Results presented have been compiled from historical
open-file and private company technical reports and data.
The geochemical sampling described in this report refers
to rock chip sampling. Samples were all collected by
qualified geologists or under geological supervision.
Rock chip samples are random (grab) samples taken of
quartz vein material in surface outcrop or in shallow
artisanal mine workings carried out as part of a geological
mapping exercise in areas of geological interest. Sample
size is nominally 2 to 3 kilograms.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
RC sampling methods are not recorded in historical
reporting and hence are unknown.
AC samplingwas done as 2m composite samples.
oc chip samplin was per Asara’s protocols and Q alit

The entire sample is dried, coarse crushed and pulverised
to better than 85% of the material passing through a 75-
micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen.
The assay technique used was Fire Assay. A 200g
subsample is taken from the samples for analysis. A 50g
charge weight is fused with litharge-based flux, cupelled
and the prill dissolved in aqua regia and gold tenor is
determined by AAS.
