Critically, this hole demonstrates the continuity of the Trek 1 high grade mineralisation 170m down dip of the previous high grade step out drill hole (Figure 1).
-
The Trek 1 extension has now been intersected in 3 high grade intersections over 300m down dip outside of the Mineral Resource and remains completely open in all directions.
-
A 5,000m RC/DD drilling program to drill out the Trek 1 extension will commence next week with 2 drill rigs.
-
CBGT001 ASSAY RESULTS;
-
44.7m @ 1.7% CuEq (1.5% Cu, 0.2g/t Au) (165.3m)
-
INCL. 19m @ 2.5% CuEq (2.3% Cu, 0.3g/t Au) (188m)

AND 10m @ 1.0% CuEq (0.9% Cu, 0.2g/t Au) (300m)
-
Large downhole EM plate remains untested
The Company’s Managing Director, Rob Watkins commented:
“The 170m down dip step out result intersected in CBDD017 is considered to be extremely important as it demonstrates that the high grade Trek 1 extension is present for at least 300m down dip and outside of the Mineral Resource Estimate. We eagerly await the start of a 5,000m drilling program utilising two drill rigs which will commence next week to drill out the Trek 1 extension. Further infill and extension drilling is also planned at Inheritance and Trek 2 which will bolster the MRE as we complete the Prefeasibility Study and move straight into the Feasibility Study at the start of 2026.”

Assay Results – CBDD017
CBDD017 8m (TW~4m) @ 2.8% CuEq[1] (1.5% Cu, 1.5g/t Au) from 571m
INCL 3m (TW~2m) @ 5.9% CuEq (2.6% Cu, 3.9g/t Au) from 571m
1 Metal equivalents for exploration results in this release have been calculated using the formula CuEq=Cu% + (Au_ppm * 0.85) and is based on December 2024 consensus forecast prices of US$8,505/t for copper, US$2,520/oz for gold and an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.63. Exploration results are set out in Appendix 1 of this announcement. Metal recoveries of 95% for copper and 85% for gold have been applied as demonstrated in preliminary metallurgical test work carried out in 2023 and allowances for including the Trekelano deposits into the PFS. It is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

Step out drill hole CBDD017 has confirmed the continuity of the high grade shoot mineralisation another 170m down dip of the previous high grade step out drill intersection with a result of 8m @ 2.8% CuEq from 331m, including 3m @ 5.9% CuEq (Figure 1) (see ASX release 22 September 2025).
The Trek 1 high grade extension has now been intersected in three step out drill holes over a 300m down dip extent and remains completely open in all directions (Figure 1 & 2).

The Trek 1 extension drill results are completely outside of the existing Mineral Resource for Trekelano which totals 5.2Mt @ 1.6% CuEq (1.4% Cu, 0.4g/t Au) for 85,000t of contained copper equivalent tonnes (see ASX release dated 28 November 2024).
True width of the new result in CBDD017 is not known and further infill drilling is required to be able to accurately estimate true widths however based on current modelling is expected to be approximately 50% of the downhole interval.
A 5,000m RC/DD drilling program utilising two drill rigs will commence next week to drill out the Trek 1 high grade extension (Figure 2) and also infill and extend the Inheritance and Trek 2 deposits.
Assay Results – CBGT001
Assay results from a second Geotech diamond drill hole at Trek 1 have been received. The diamond hole CBGT001 intersected the footwall lode at Trek 1 recording 44.7m @ 1.7% CuEq from 165.3m (Figure 2 & 3).
CBGT001 44.7m @ 1.7% CuEq (1.5% Cu, 0.2g/t Au) from 165.3m
INCL 19m @ 2.5% CuEq (2.3% Cu, 0.3g/t Au) from 188m
CBGT001 was drilled primarily for geotechnical purposes as part of the current Greater Duchess Prefeasibility Study ( PFS ) to test the eastern wall of a planned open pit but also importantly for metallurgical sampling and Mineral Resource definition. The result is from the footwall lode of the Trek 1 deposit and further bolsters the MRE towards the base of the planned open pit.
Assay Results – CBRC018
Assay results from a shallow resource extension hole intersected 3m @ 1.2% CuEq from 127m (Figure 2). This result is located approximately 70m up dip from a previous intersection of 4m @ 4.8% CuEq (see ASX release 28 November 2024). The two results are completely open to the south and will be followed up with extension drilling in the upcoming program.

Step out drill hole CBRC021 has intersected multiple broad zones of copper gold mineralisation down plunge of the Inheritance Lode, further confirming an overall south plunge to the orebody. CBRC021 targeted the large off-hole EM conductor, however unexpected hole deviation caused the hole to drift off the EM plate target. The large EM conductor in the interpreted down plunge position of the high grade shoot remains untested (Figure 4). Further drilling is planned in the upcoming drill program.

DEVONCOURT PROJECT (CNB EARNING 51%)
WIMBERU PROSPECT
Assay results have been received from a single diamond drill hole WBDD008 which was fully funded by the Queensland Government under a CEI grant. The style of copper mineralisation and alteration intersected included broad zones of strong k feldpsar-hematite alteration associated with moderate brecciation associated with weak disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite mineralisation. Stronger zones of late carbonate-chlorite breccia associated with moderate zones where chalcopyrite and bornite mineralisation were recorded and are considered to be very encouraging. Especially considering that WBDD008 is interpreted to be only the second drill hole to pierce across the potential feeder structure target that could be greater than 1km strike on the Western Anomaly (Figure 5 & 6).
A review of these results will be completed, however no further drilling is being contemplated in the near future as the focus remains on the Greater Duchess development project.
Assay Results – WBDD008

APPENDIX TWO
JORC Code, 2012 Edition | ‘Table 1’ Report Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| 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. |
Drilling Samples • The RC drill chips were logged, and visual abundances estimated by suitably qualified and experienced geologist. • Recent RC samples were collected via a cone splitter mounted below the cyclone. A 2-3kg sample was collected from each 1m interval. • RC samples were submitted to ALS labs and pulverised to obtain a 25g charge. Ore grade analysis was conducted for copper using an aqua regia digest and AAS/ ICP finish. Gold was analysed by aqua regia digest and ICP-MS finish. • Trekelano geotechnical diamond core samples were collected from half cut HQsized core. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• Wimberu diamond core samples were collected from half cut NQ sized core. • Trekelano diamond samples were submitted to ALS labs and pulverised to obtain a 25g charge. Ore grade analysis was conducted for copper using an aqua regia digest and AAS/ ICP finish. Gold was analysed by aqua regia digest and ICP-MS finish. • Wimberu diamond samples were submitted to ALS labs and pulverised to obtain a 25g charge. Trace level Au analysis was conducted using aqua regia digest with an ICP-AES finish. Copper including full suite multi-elements were assayed using a 0.25g charge, 4-acid digest and an ICP-MS finish. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
• All recent RC holes were completed using a 5.5’’ face sampling bit. • Geotechnical diamond holes were drilled using HQ sized core. • Wimberu exploration diamond holes were drilled using a NQ sized core. WBDD008 had an RC pre-collar drilled to 290m. • All core is orientated using an ACT HQ Core Ori Tool. |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• For recent RC drilling, no significant recovery issues for samples were observed. • For recent Diamond drilling, no significant recovery issues for samples were observed. Some material was lost drilling through historic voids, and this has been noted in the results tables. • Drill chips collected in chip trays are considered a reasonable visual representation of the entire sample interval. • Tripple tube was used for diamondgeotechnical holes. |
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• RC holes have been logged for lithology, weathering, mineralisation, veining, structure and alteration. • All chips have been stored in chip trays on 1m intervals and logged in the field. • Diamond holes have been logged for lithology, weathering, mineralisation, veining, structure, structure orientation and alteration. Trekelano diamond holes in this release were also geotechnically logged. • Sample recovery is recorded for diamond drilling between core blocks. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material beingsampled. |
• All RC samples are cone split at the cyclone to create a 1m sample of 2-3kg. The remaining sample is retained in a plastic bag at the drill site. • For mineralised zones, the 1m cone split sample is taken for analysis. For non-mineralised zones a 2m-5m composite spear sample is collected and the individual 1m cone split samples over the same interval retained for later analysis if positive results are returned. • Drill core in this release was half cut with the half core sent for lab assay. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Assay Lab • For lab assays, company inserted blanks are inserted as the first sample for every hole. A company inserted gold standard and a copper standard are placed every 50th sample. No standard identification numbers are provided to the lab. • Field duplicates are taken in mineralised zone every 50th sample. • Standards are checked against expected lab values to ensure they are within tolerance. No issues have been identified. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata. |
• A Maxgeo hosted SQL database (Datashed) is currently used in house for all historic and new records. The database is maintained on the Maxgeo Server by a Carnaby database administrator. Logchief Lite is used for drill hole logging and daily uploaded to the database daily. Recent assay results have been reported directly from lab reports and sample sheets collated in excel. |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Qualityand adequacyof topographic control. |
• Drill hole collars were located using with a Trimble GNSS SP60 (+/- 0.3m accuracy). • Current RC and Diamond holes were downhole surveyed by Reflex True North seeking gyro. • Survey control is of high accuracy with periodic checks made between two different down-hole gyro instruments. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
• The hole spacing within the current Trek 1 resource is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource Estimation. • Additional drilling is required to allow the results of CBDD017, CBRC018 & CBRC021 to be incorporated into a Mineral Resource. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation of data in 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. |
• CBRC021 was drilled orthogonal to the strike of the Inheritance deposit. • CBGT01 was drilled orthogonal to strike and at an acute angle to the dip of the Trek 1 Footwall Lode. This hole has fully passed through the Footwall Lode. • CBDD017 was drilled orthogonal to the strike of the Trek 1 deposit mineralisation. • WBDD008 was planned orthogonal to the potential feeder structures at Wimberu. • No bias was determined in anyof the drilling. |
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
• Recent drilling has had all samples immediately taken following drilling and submitted for assay by supervising Carnaby geology personnel. |

• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• There has been exploration work conducted over the Greater Duchess project regions for over a century by previous explorers. The project comes with significant geoscientific information which covers the tenements and general region, including: a compiled database of 6658 drill hole (exploration and near-mine), 60,300 drilling assays and over 50,000 soils and stream sediment geochemistry results. This previous exploration work is understood to have been undertaken to an industry accepted standard and will be assessed in further detail as the projects are developed. • Historical drilling at Trekelano has been conducted by various previous explorers since the 1950s. The project comes with significant geoscientific information which includes a compiled database of 1,106 drill holes (within the MLs) and 17,473 drilling assays. This previous exploration work is understood to have been undertaken to an industry accepted standard and will be assessed in further detail as the projects are developed. • There has been limited historical exploration over the Devoncourt Project given the thickness of cover sequences overlying the Proterozoic basement within the local region (ca 220–250m). The earliest exploration in the local region was in the 1960–70’s for phosphate mineralisation hosted in the Cambrian Beetle Creek Formation. The first exploration for metal mineralisation, in the Proterozoic basement, wasn’t until the 1990’s by Mount Isa Mines. Subsequently, only two other explorers – North Mining Ltd and Isa Tenements Pty Ltd – have explored the region for metal mineralisation within the Proterozoic basement since the 1990’s. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Greater Duchess Project is in the Mary Kathleen domain of the eastern Fold Belt, Mount Isa Inlier. The Eastern Fold Belt is well known for copper, gold and copper-gold deposits; generally considered variants of IOCG deposits. The region hosts several long-lived mines and numerous historical workings. Deposits are structurally controlled, forming proximal to district-scale structures which are observable in mapped geology and geophysical images. Local controls on the distribution of mineralisation at the prospect scale can be more variable and is understood to be dependent on lithological domains present at the local-scale, and orientation with respect to structures and the stress-field during D3/D4 deformation, associated with mineralisation. • The dominant lithologies on the Trekelano lease area are biotite schists and scapolitic granofels of upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies. The structure is dominated by north-south trending shear zones which dip 60-70o to the west. Shears commonly contain brecciated material rangingfrom matrix to clast |

| supported breccias with rounded to angular clasts of altered host rock. • The Devoncourt North project area encompasses part of the Wimberu Granite, which is a series of superimposed granitic plutons belonging to the greater Williams Supersuite (ca 1490–1530 Ma). The Wimberu and greater Williams-Naraku supersuite are a series of oxidised, high- Th-U-F, I-type granitoids emplaced during rifting and thin- skinned convergence cycles. The Wimberu granite is concentrically zoned, grading from a mafic magnetite- hornblende-biotite granodiorite rim to more felsic compositions towards the core. It is often cross-cut by north-northeast and northnorthwest shear zones belonging to the D4 and D5 deformation events (Wyborn, 1998). The Wimberu granite within the ‘Devoncourt North’ project area is locally overlain by up to 240 m of cover, consisting of flat-lying Cambrian siliclastics and limestones belonging to the Georgina Basin. |

| 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. |
• Included in report Refer to Appendix 1, Table 1. |
| 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. |
• All drill results have been weight averaged by sample interval length. • Trekelano results have been compiled from assay results using a 0.2% copper nominal cut-off with no greater than 5m downhole dilution. • Wimberu results were calculated using a 0.05% nominal Cu cut-off with no more than 7m of internal dilution. • Intercepts have been aggregated over intervals of successively higher grade and listed beneath the overall intersection. These have been marked as “Incl” in the results table. • Copper equivalent grades have been calculated using the following calculation: Exploration Results: Cu% + (Au g/t * 0.85). The formula to derive this is Cu% + [(Au g/t * Au Price per g*Au rec) / Cu Price per % Cu rec]. Assumptions used were as follows; Gold Price US$2520/oz, Copper Price US$8505/t. |

| Average 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’). |
• Based on current modelling, the true width of CBDD017 is expected to be approximately 50% of the down hole width. • Based on current modelling the true width of CBDD018 is expected to be approximately 66% of the down hole width. • True width for CBRC021 is unknown and therefore only downhole width has been reported. • CBGT01 has drilled at an acute angle through the Trek 1 Footwall Lode. A true width was unable to be determined however it is expected to be considerably less than the downhole width. • The geometry of the mineralisation in WBDD008 is yet to be determined and true width is currently unknown. Intersections for this hole have all been stated as down hole widths. |
| 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. |
• See the body of the announcement. |
| 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 reportingof Exploration Results. |
• As discussed in the announcement |
| 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. |
• As discussed in the announcement |
| 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). |
• Planned exploration works are detailed in the announcement. |
