Mt Cattlin Gold Project – Systematic Exploration Approach
Avira is in the advanced stages of a comprehensive review and compilation of all historical data for the Mt Cattlin Gold Project. The historical databases have been integrated into a single validated GDA2020 database, providing a reliable platform for ongoing geological interpretation and exploration planning.
Exploration is planned to commence in March/April 2026 driven by the data review and revised geological interpretation and modelling of geologic and structural data has focused the Company’s attention to projects with a strong prospectivity and potential for significant resource definition discovery.
The submitted PoW focuses on a systematic resource definition &

extension drilling program, supported by updated geological interpretation. The Company’s drilling priorities are as follows:
-
Resource definition and discovery within the Sirdar and Maori Queen project areas
-
Systematic exploration across the high-grade targets at the Plantagenet-EllendaleRevival prospect trend
While the Company’s short-term exploration and growth strategy will continue to centre around progressing several of its more advanced targets, including at Sirdar and Maori Queen, it is committed to promoting and advancing a pipeline of early-stage exploration opportunities.
Tangadee Project – Electromagnetic Survey Planning
AVW has invested considerable effort in reviewing all available aeromagnetic data at Tangadee Project with assistance from Newexco Geological Services. This work builds on previously identified targets (refer ASX announcement 28 March 2025) and is designed to broadly assess the potential of the Tangadee tenure.
The planned program includes:
-
Review of the broader tenement package's VTEM data and validation of previously interpreted anomalies with signatures consistent with magmatic Ni-Cu and sedimenthosted Cu-Zn sulphide systems
-
Identification of additional anomalies within the broader tenement package
-
Design of Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys over priority VTEM anomalies
-
On-ground MLEM surveys
-
Drill testing of high-value anomalies if defined by MLEM
This represents a significant investment in advancing the Company's understanding of the mineral potential across the Tangadee Project tenement package.
Executive Director James Robinson commented: "Our methodical approach to the Mt Cattlin Gold Project reflects the quality of the historical gold endowment and our commitment to unlocking its full potential through exhaustive geological investigation followed by systematic, well-informed drilling. By consolidating decades of exploration data into a single validated database, we've laid the groundwork for a disciplined exploration program targeting high-grade extensions to Mt Cattlin’s existing mineralisation and exploration prospects. Combined with our advancing work at Tangadee Project, AVW is well-positioned for an active 2026 exploration campaign."

About Avira Resources Limited
Avira Resources Limited (AVW) is an ASX listed mining exploration company exploring for gold, copper and base metals with projects in Western Australia and Sweden.

The Mt Cattlin Gold Project, located within the highly endowed Ravensthorpe Greenstone Belt of the Yilgarn Craton, is a high-priority gold-copper asset. The project's close proximity to the world-class Rio Tinto’s Mt Cattlin Lithium Mine and Medallion Metals’ 1.3Moz Kundip Gold Project validates its district-scale potential. Following completion of the acquisition announced on 20 October 2025, AVW holds 100% of the gold and non-pegmatite mineral rights over Exploration Licence E74/401. Multiple advanced prospects, including Ellendale, Plantagenet and Revival, exhibit strong gold-copper geophysical and geochemical signatures within favourable magnetic skarn zones, representing immediate, drill-ready targets for resource delineation.
The Tangadee Project currently consists of three granted exploration licences E52/4411 E52/4439 and E52/4413 for a total of 249 blocks or 779 km[2 ] located in the Ashburton region of Western Australia which straddles the faulted contact between the Edmund and Collier Basins in the Capricorn Orogen of Western Australia. Avira is targeting sedimenthosted Cu-Zn sulphide and magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposits, principally by drill testing late-time EM conductors (VTEM) that lie either on or close to the intersection of the major, east-trending Mount Vernon Fault and NE and NW trending splays and linking structures.
The Puolalaki Project currently comprises a single exploration permit (Puolalaki nr 100) centred over a synorogenic gabbro intrusion that hosts the nickel mineralisation discovered by NAN in 1998. In addition to the Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation at Puolalaki, the project also contains significant, high-grade gold mineralisation across two zones within the metasediments and metavolcanics surrounding the gabbro. The project is located in Sweden’s premier Gällivare mining district which is host to Europe’s largest open-cut copper mine Aitik, owned by Boliden and to LKAB’s Malmberget iron-ore mine.
