QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 31 MARCH 2026

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Maiden 15 hole drilling program at Avon Plains Gold Project generates results up to 1.26 g/t gold.
  • Planning in progress for exploration commencement at the Wilson's Hill Gold Project, near Bendigo, where historical drilling yielded results up to 8 metres @ 23.83 g/t gold.
  • Planning in progress for re-commencement of exploration at the Amadeus Critical Minerals Project, where gallium results up to 260 ppm Ga were returned.
  • Geochemical sampling program completed at the Tin Creek Prospect, within the Murrindindi Project, with results currently under assessment.
  • Rationalisation of tenure undertaken during the Quarter, including reduction of area at Amadeus and withdrawal at Avon Plains.
  • Bubalus remains well funded, with $3.0 million in cash, to pursue existing gold and critical minerals projects in Victoria and NT, and to pursue new opportunities.

Bubalus Resources Limited (ASX: BUS) (Bubalus or the Company) is pleased to report its activities for the March Quarter of 2026.

PROJECTS SUMMARY & ACTIVITIES

Avon Plains Gold Project Maiden Drilling

The maiden drilling program at Avon Plains (Figure 1) targeted postulated trends of quartz reef in both a northwest and a northeast trend, due to ambiguity in historical information from the early 1900s around the mineralised reef orientation.

A total of 15 reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled, with 14 of 15 holes intersecting one or more quartz reefs/vein systems. The 4 holes in the northwest trend returned gold values above 0.3 g/t, with the following significant intercepts returned (Figure 2).

Murrundindi Gold Project

A geochemical sampling program was completed at the Tin Creek Prospect during the Quarter, with analytical results received and being assessed subsequent to the end of the Quarter. Results from this work will be released during the current Quarter.

Tenement Rationalisation

Following a strategic review, Bubalus has withdrawn from the Avon Plains Gold Project to concentrate resources on priority Victorian assets, including Crosbie South, Crosbie North, Wilson's Hill, Murrindindi and Castleburn. (refer ASX announcement dated 23 March 2026)

Additionally, the Company has rationalised tenure at the Amadeus Project, with the focus now being solely on EL32796, where previous work identified gallium anomalous up to 260 ppm, representing a key focus for further evaluation. (refer ASX announcement dated 25 November 2025)

Cost Reductions and Cash Position

The Board has implemented a 25% reduction in fees for the Managing Director, Chairman, and Corporate Advisers, demonstrating a clear focus on cost discipline and shareholder alignment. The Company continues to advance its existing projects while assessing value-accretive opportunities. The Company remains well funded, with $3 million in cash to support ongoing exploration and near-term evaluation of priority targets. Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, an R&D Tax Incentive of approximately $200,000 was received, further bolstering the cash position of the Company.

ABOUT BUBALUS RESOURCES

Bubalus has five projects, the Victorian Gold Projects, the Yinnisetharra Lithium Project (prospective for lithium), Amadeus Project (prospective for Manganese), the Coomarie Project (prospective for Heavy Rare Earths), the Nolans East Project (prospective for Light Rare Earths) and the Pargee Project (prospective for Heavy Rare Earths), which are located in the Northern Territory and Western Australia:

Victorian Gold Projects (Au/Sb) – A portfolio of 5 granted licences in the heart of the Victorian Goldfields. Headlined by the Crosbie Project, which has drill ready targets supported by high grade surface gold and antimony, geophysical anomalies, and geological characteristics.

Nolans East Project (Light REEs) - The project covers 380 km² of the Arunta Province, analogous to Nolan's Bore light rare earth deposit and is prospective for light rare earths, located only 15 kms east of Arafura's (ASX:ARU) 56Mt NPV $1.011Bn light rare earth deposit.

Yinnisetharra Project (Li) - Yinnisetharra Project with the boundary of E09/2724 lying only 2 km east of the Malinda Prospect owned by Delta Lithium Limited (ASX:DLI) (Delta). Drilling at Malinda by Delta has identified spodumene-hosted lithium mineralisation over 1.6 km and to a depth of 350 m¹.

Amadeus Project (Mn) - Significant land package with outcropping high-grade manganese, located 125 km south of Alice Springs, where historical exploration has identified 11 manganese occurrences, along with cobalt, gallium and Ni-Zn-Cu anomalous.

Coomarie Project (Heavy REEs) - The project covers 1,315 km² and presents as a geological analogue to Browns Dome, host to Northern Mineral's (ASX:NTU) Browns Range heavy rare earths deposit where mineralisation is hosted on margins of granite dome intrusive where the unconformity between Gardiner Sandstone and Browns Range Metamorphics exist and located in the Tanami Region.
