PROJECTS SUMMARY & ACTIVITIES
Victorian Gold Projects
During the Quarter, the Company continued exploration on its optioned portfolio of granted exploration licences located in the heart of the Victorian goldfields, headlined by maiden drilling programs at the Avon Plains Gold Project and the Crosbie North metasediment hosted Fosterville-style target (Figures 1 and 2).

Avon Plains Drilling Program
Avon Plains is located north of operating mines at Stawell, and a high-grade small-scale operation at Kingston. (Figure 1) Although the historic mine workings are locally known, they do not appear in several Victorian online geological databases.
The historic shaft at Avon Plains is situated at the northern boundary of the Pyrenees Gold Province, which contains several sediment hosted goldfields, the closest of which is the St Arnaud Goldfield, centered around the township of St Arnaud, 30 km to the east. Outcrop is sparse, suggesting the area could be underexplored, providing an opportunity for new discoveries beneath the shallow cover.
The maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program comprised 1,234 metres , targeting historically mined gold bearing reefs, and a silver/antimony in soil anomaly.
All samples were dispatched to ALS laboratories in Adelaide at the end of the Quarter, with assays to be reported in February 2026.

Wilson’s Hill Gold Project
The Company is preparing for Q1 commencement of exploration at the Wilson’s Hill Gold Project, contained within the suite of tenements currently under option from Syndicate Minerals Pty Ltd (refer to ASX announcement of 3 December 2024). The project lies within Exploration Licence EL007359 and encompasses the historical Wilson’s Hill Goldfield, located west of Bendigo, in the heart of the Victorian goldfields (Figure 3).
The Wilson’s Hill Gold Project lies in one of Australia’s most productive gold belts and bears strong geological similarities to the Bendigo historic goldfields, and Falcon Metals Limited’s (ASX: FAL) Blue Moon Project , located nearby. Both projects demonstrate:
-
Comparable Ordovician sedimentary sequences subjected to intense folding and faulting.
-
Evidence for saddle reef and fault reef mineralisation.
-
Potential for large-scale, high-grade gold discoveries at depth, in line with central Victorian goldfield models.

Historical shallow workings at the project across approximately 1 km of strike produced gold in the mid to late 1800s. The workings were mostly to ~50 metres depth, with the deepest shafts to approximately 170 metres. Accounts of the amount of gold produced vary significantly and are therefore considered unreliable.
In the 1980s, Western Mining Corporation (WMC) undertook detailed mapping, percussion drilling (~3,301 m), and diamond drilling (~4,307 m), with the objective of testing whether the Bendigo-style repeating reef model applied at Wilson’s Hill. These programs generated two major target types:
-
Shallow bulk-tonnage zone (~50 m depth) along Wilsons Reef, intersected over ~350 m strike:
-
Multiple quartz vein sets in parallel and tension vein arrays.
-
Widths 3–6 m, max 15 m. Grades were described as anomalous, but assays likely underestimated true values due to small 25 ml aliquot AA assays, and coarse gold.
-
New deeper horizon (~250 m) – a saddle reef–style structure in the hinge of the Greys Anticline (WHD002 intersection: 8 m @ 23.83 g/t gold with visible gold and sulphides). Note this a downhole length and true width is not known.
The work demonstrated repetition of the mineralised structures at depth, analogous to Bendigo.
A review of the historical work at Wilson’s Hill was released to the ASX on 3 September 2025.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the historical remnant infrastructure at Wilson’s Hill and highlights of the drilling conducted in the 1980s.
Bubalus is currently developing a low impact exploration program, including drilling, which is planned to commence in the current Quarter. (Q1, 2026)

Crosbie North Maiden Drilling
The maiden drilling at Crosbie North targeted strong chargeability anomalies within a faulted fold system – features highly analogous to those associated with Fosterville’s deep high-grade zones.
These geophysical anomalies are supported by surface rock chip results of up to 12.1 g/t Au and 2.02% Sb . (Refer to ASX announcement 3 December 2024)
The program comprised 3 diamond drillholes, in areas accessible from existing tracks, for a total of approximately 560 metres (Figure 6).
Drillhole CRDD008 has identified gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining/brecciation, and sulphides (arsenopyrite), with the following significant intercepts recorded:
CRDD008 0.3 m @ 1.32 g/t gold , from 121.7 m and 0.8 m @ 0.54 g/t gold , from 169.2 m and 0.4 m @ 1.01 g/t gold , from 172.8 m
Full drillhole details, and photos of the mineralised core were provided in the ASX announcement of 28 November 2025.

Next Steps – Crosbie North
The Company is encouraged by the results of the first ever drilling at the Crosbie North Prospect, with a gold mineralised system being demonstrated. Further exploration activities planned are:
-
Drilling of further geochemical and geophysical targets as highlighted in Figure 5, in areas that were not accessible as part of this maiden program.
-
Review, and potential remodelling, of the IP geophysical survey data, in the context of the drilling results. It is noted that two of the holes intersected black/graphitic shale, which is likely the source of those anomalies, however for the mineralised hole, CRDD008, the geophysical anomaly remains unexplained and potentially not yet tested.
-
Undertaking specialist geochemical modelling of the drilling results, to assist in vectoring to potentially thicker and/or higher grades of mineralisation within the identified system.

Crosbie South Gold Target
Results from the maiden diamond drilling program were reported (17 July 2025) from the Crosbie South Prospect, with 5 holes completed for approximately 700 metres. Gold mineralisation (up to 0.2 m @ 50 g/t Au) was intersected in every hole, with associated antimony, bismuth, silver, molybdenum and tungsten, confirming an IRGS target. Mineralisation is open at depth and along strike.
High grade mineralisation was identified across mostly narrow intervals associated with quartz veins and often sulphides, with the following better significant intercepts recorded:
-
CRDD002 1.1 m @ 9.43 g/t gold and 11.1 g/t silver from 100.8 m including 0.2 m @ 50 g/t gold 55.1 g/t silver and 1.04% bismuth, from 100.8 m.
-
CRDD004 6.6 m @ 0.4 g/t gold and 1839 ppm antimony from 40.6 m, including 1.2 m @ 0.98 g/t gold and 3,080 ppm antimony from 46 m.
-
CRDD003 0.3 m @ 6.25 g/t gold, 40.1 g/t silver, and 1.9% molybdenum, from 111.0 m. CRDD001 0.3 m @ 5.42 g/t gold and 34.1 g/t silver, from 43.5 m.
Further core from this program was assayed during the Quarter, with the aim of expanding understanding the geochemical halo signature surrounding the ore grade mineralisation, and assisting in the targeting of further holes, planned to be drilled during 2026.
Murrindindi Gold Project
A new geochemical sampling program continued at the Murrindindi Gold Project during the Quarter, with the initial focus on the Tin Creek Prospect in the southeast of the licence area. Results from this work will be reported as they become available, with the aim being to generate targets for drill testing.
Nolans East Project
Nolans East is located 15km southeast of the Nolans Bore deposit owned by Arafura Resources Limited ( Arafura ). Arafura has defined a Mineral Resource at Nolans Bore of 56 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.6% total rare earth oxides ( TREO ), including a high proportion of neodymiumpraesidium oxides (26% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 ( NdPr )), and 11% phosphate (P2O5)[1] .
Up to $840 million in Commonwealth government funding has been committed for the construction of the Nolans Bore mine and refinery development. A $200 million investment commitment was received during January 2025 from the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC).
The final approval required before drilling can commence is an updated Land Access Agreement (LAA), required due to a change of pastoral station ownership. This agreement is anticipated to be finalised during the current Quarter, which will then allow drill testing of compelling targets outlined through the previous work by Bubalus (Figure 7) at the Company’s election.
A site visit was undertaken during the Quarter, which focussed on review of access conditions, surface anomalies, and drill pad locations at the eight priority REE drill target zones previously defined.

Amadeus Project
Ahead of the site visit conducted during the Quarter, a comprehensive review of historical geochemical datasets for the Amadeus Project has identified significant anomalous gallium (Ga) results, with assays returning values of up to 260 ppm Ga . (Figures 8-10) The samples (total of 70) were collected by Bubalus during 2022 and 2023. These elevated values are considered highly anomalous in the geological context of the project and materially enhance the project’s prospectivity for critical metals. These samples were not previously released as they formed part of a broader historical dataset currently being reviewed and validated. Previous explorers on the project had noted a bauxite occurrence in the project area, in addition to the more widespread manganese, as well as anomalous zinc and copper. The samples returned:
-
Gallium values up to 260 ppm Ga , associated with an ironstone unit. (42-44% Fe)
-
High-grade manganese content up to 40.1% Mn , consistent with historic work and reinforcing the presence of significant manganese-bearing systems; and
-
Cobalt values up to 5,968 ppm Co, associated with the manganese enrichment.
These combined results—high-grade manganese together with notable gallium enrichment— highlight the potential for mineral systems of considerable scale and complexity.

Planned Follow-Up Work
In response to these results, the Company intends to implement targeted follow-up programs as soon as practicable, including:
-
Systematic surface sampling to define the distribution and continuity of the identified gallium anomalism
-
Detailed geological and structural mapping
-
Review and integration of geophysical datasets to refine drill targets
-
Prioritisation of prospects for potential drilling based on combined gallium, manganese and polymetallic indicators
These programs are designed to determine the extent, geometry and geological significance of the gallium and manganese-cobalt mineralisation identified within the broader Amadeus Project.

Yinnietharra Lithium Project
The Yinnietharra Lithium Project is located only 2km’s east of the Malinda Prospect (Figure 11) owned by Delta Lithium Limited (ASX :DLI) ( Delta ). Drilling at Malinda by Delta has identified spodumenehosted lithium mineralisation over a distance of 1.6 km and to a depth of 350m[2] . No drilling has been undertaken on the Yinnietharra Project.
Spodumene bearing pegmatites identified by Delta[1 ] strike in an east-west orientation, trending in the direction of Bubalus’ Yinnietharra Project boundary, representing an obvious walk-up target for initial activities. This target (Malinda East) was confirmed by soil sampling results from close spaced sampling (100m x 100m) which detected a clear area of anomalous lithium and caesium at surface in this area (Figure 12). These anomalies may be present due to undercover spodumene bearing pegmatites.
An ethnographic and archaeological work area clearance survey was conducted in 2025, in partnership with the Burringurah Wajarri Custodians and Three Sisters Heritage Surveys. Bubalus would like to sincerely thank all parties involved in the survey for their efforts in achieving this outcome, which will allow the approved drilling program to commence at the Company’s election.
No further work was conducted at Yinnietharra during the Quarter.

Coomarie Project
The Coomarie Project is located approximately ~600km from Alice Springs, near the border with Western Australia and Northern Territory. The Coomarie Project overlies a prominent domal feature in the Tanami Region. REE mineralisation within the Tanami Region is hosted at unconformities between older metamorphic rocks associated with granitic intrusions and younger sediments (for example Browns Ridge (ASX:NTU)[3] and Watts Ridge-Castella (ASX:PVW)[4] ). Mineralisation is often controlled by faults which cross cut the unconformity and are interpreted to have controlled fluid flow.
No exploration was undertaken on the project during the Quarter.
Pargee Project
The Pargee Project is located 70km west of the Coomarie Project along the Tanami Road and then 50km north of the Tanami Road. The Project is located towards the western end of the Granites – Tanami Inlier, which is a highly deformed and metamorphosed, Palaeoproterozoic block of rocks approximately 250km long and 100km wide.
Most of the area of the Pargee Project is interpreted to be underlain by lithologies of the Killi to the east and Lower Stubbins Formation to the west as well as the Upper Stubbins Formation and a folded dolerite unit in the centre.
No substantive exploration was carried out on the Pargee Project during the Quarter.
