Fast Facts

Shares on Issue 276.1M

WITHIN 35m @ 2.9% CuEq from 105m

Carnaby Resources Limited (ASX: CNB) ( Carnaby or the Company ) is pleased to announce further exploration drill results from the Greater Duchess Project in Mt Isa, Queensland.

Highlights

Trek 2:

  • CBRC0063;

  • 3m (TW~2m) @ 3.7% CuEq (3.5% Cu, 0.2g/t Au) (70m) AND 35m (TW~22m) @ 2.9% CuEq (2.3% Cu, 0.6g/t Au) (105m) INCL. 18m (TW~12m) @ 5.0% CuEq (4.0% Cu, 1.1g/t Au) (115m) AND 24m (TW~15m) @ 0.5% CuEq (0.5% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) (162m)

  • Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project, numerous camp scale IOCG deposits over 1,946 km[2] of tenure.

  • Mineral Resource Estimate at Greater Duchess: 29Mt @ 1.5% CuEq for 441kt CuEq.

  • Mount Hope, Trekelano, Nil Desperandum and Lady Fanny Iron Oxide Copper Gold deposits within the Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project, Mount Isa inlier, Queensland.

  • Pre-Feasibility Study for the Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project in progress with a targeted completion date in Q1 CY2026.

  • Binding Tolling and Offtake agreements signed with Glencore International AG.

  • Gold projects near to Northern Star Resources Ltd’s Hemi Development Project on 397 km[2] of highly prospective tenure.

The Company’s Managing Director, Rob Watkins commented:

“The spectacular new drill result of 18m @ 5.0% CuEq at Trek 2 is confirmation of the exploration upside at Trekelano. This highly significant result shows the Trek 2 deposit opening up and growing to the north beneath the previous shallow drilling. We believe the Trek 2 planned open pit contemplated in the soon to be released Pre-Feasibility Study ( PFS ) will continue to grow with additional drilling. This is on top of our Trek 1 400m extension discovery which also continues to grow as we await further assay results and additional drilling.”

GREATER DUCHESS COPPER GOLD PROJECT

TREK 2 PROSPECT (CNB 100%)

A spectacular drill result has been received from the shallow northern extension of the Trek 2 deposit as shown in Figure 1 & 2. The new drill result of 18m @ 5.0% CuEq from 115m in CBRC063 within 35m @ 2.9% CuEq from 105m is the biggest drill hit at Trek 2 from all current and historical drilling and remains completely open at depth under the shallow drilling to the north. The drill result is outside of the current Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ). Further drilling is being planned.

==> picture [451 x 328] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. Trek 2 Long Section showing new drill results.

Carnaby has received results from a further 4 drill holes at Trek 2. The drilling was primarily planned to infill and extend the MRE to the north, where most of the current MRE is Inferred. The PFS open pit design is currently only based on Indicated Resources. The infill drilling forms part of the Definitive Feasibility Study ( DFS ) on which work has already commenced. Open pit optimisations using Inferred and Indicated MRE results in a much larger open pit as shown in Figure 1. The new drill results, all drilled post the open pit optimisation, will potentially increase the size of the Trek 2 open pit in the future.

TREK 1 PROSPECT (CNB 100%)

Results from a further three extension RC holes drilled at Trek 1 in late 2025 have extended the Main Lode and Footwall Lode to the north (Figure 3). Broad zones of mineralisation were intersected and indicate the potential for the Trek 1 mineralisation to extend laterally along strike to the north and the south.

Carnaby is continuing to drill out the 400m extension discovery of the Main Lode with diamond drilling in progress and drill results pending.

==> picture [321 x 399] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Trek 1 Long Section showing new drill results.

The new RC drill results are from drilling targeting lateral strike extensions to the high grade Trek 1 deposit to the north and south.

To the north two new results from holes CBRC053 and CBRC067 have been received, both intersecting the Main Lode ( ML ) and the new Footwall Lode ( FL ) where recent drilling intersected an outstanding result of 6m @ 12.6% CuEq (see ASX release 18 December 2025). The Footwall Lone appears to be a second mineralised structure which has been intersected in only a few drill holes to date. New results from the Footwall Lone include 3m @ 1.6% CuEq

==> picture [595 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

and 33m @ 0.4% CuEq . Main Lode results from the two holes drilled to the north include 11m @ 1.6% CuEq and 21m @ 0.8% CuEq . Both the Main Lode and the new Footwall Lode remain completely open to the north and are outside of the existing Mineral Resource.

To the south a single drill hole testing the lateral strike intersected the Main Lode however only weak grades were intersected. The southern lateral strike also remains open to the south where results of up 4m @ 4.8% CuEq have been recorded (see ASX release 28 November 2024) (Figure 3).

Drilling continues at Trek 1 with diamond drilling targeting the 400m high grade extension discovery with results pending.

New Trek 1 RC drill results are summarised below;

  • CBRC067 ML 16m (TW~9m) @ 0.8% CuEq (0.8% Cu, 0.04g/t Au) (159m) AND ML 11m (TW~6m) @ 1.6% CuEq (1.1% Cu, 0.6g/t Au) (186m) AND FL 3m (TW~2m) @ 1.6% CuEq (1.3% Cu, 0.4g/t Au) (250m)

  • CBRC037 ML 2m (TW~1m) @ 0.5% CuEq (0.4% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) (366m) AND ML 4m (TW~3m) @ 0.4% CuEq (0.4% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) (375m)

  • CBRC053 ML 21m (TW~11m) @ 0.8% CuEq (0.8% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) (218m) AND FL 33m (TW~17m) @ 0.4% CuEq (0.4% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) (345m)

(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 diamond samples were submitted to ALS labs
andpulverised to obtain a 25gcharge. Oregrade analysis

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.
was conducted for copper using an aqua regia digest and
AAS/ ICP finish. Gold was analysed by aqua regia digest
and 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, bywhat method, etc).

All recent RC holes were completed using a 5.5’’ face
sampling bit.

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. Where material was lost
drilling through historic voids, 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.
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.

Sample recovery is recorded for diamond drilling between
core blocks.
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.

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.

Recent drilling at the northern end of Trek 2 has been
undertaken on a 30m drill spacing.

At Trek 2, CBRC063 is 30m from the nearest drill hole and
remains open to the north and down dip.

At Trek 1, CBRC067 and CBRC053 are 30m and 70m away
form the nearest drill hole intersection respectively. The
intersections of these holes remain open to the north and
down dip.

CBRC060 and CBRC063 contain composite samples as
detailed in Table 1.
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.

Recent results at Trek 1 and Trek 2 show good continuity
of the lode mineralisation including northern extensions of
the lodes beyond current resource boundaries.

The recent holes completed at Trek 1 and Trek 2 have
been completed near orthogonal to the strike of
mineralisation and drilled from hanging wall to foot wall.

No sampling bias has been introduced by 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.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
samplingtechniques and data.

Sample practices and Lab QAQC were internally audited by
PayneGeo. All QAQC results were satisfactory.

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 ranging from 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.

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
6m downhole 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.
Exchange Rate USD 0.63: AUD 1.00. Metallurgical
Recovery Cu: 95%. Au 85%.
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’).

There is enough geological confidence in the geometry
and continuity of the observed mineralisation to be able
to define true widths which have been reported in this
release.

Significant high grade shallow mineralisation has been
shown to extend well beyond the narrow underground
stopes that were mined between 1911 and 1945.
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.

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.

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.

Note:

Rounding discrepancies may occur.

  • Reference 1: The CuEq calculation is CuEq=Cu% + (Au_ppm * 0.7) and is based on September 2023 spot prices of US$8,500/t for copper and US$1,950/oz for gold, exchange rate of 0.67 and recovery of 95% copper and 90% gold as demonstrated in preliminary metallurgical test work. 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.

  • Reference 2: The CuEq calculation is CuEq=Cu% + (Au_ppm * 0.85) and is based on review of consensus forecast prices of US$8,505/t for copper and US$2,520/oz for gold, exchange rate of 0.63 and recovery of 95% copper and 85% gold as demonstrated in preliminary metallurgical test work. t is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

  • Reference 3: 98% of the combined Mount Hope Central and North deposits occur on ML90240, 100% owned by Carnaby Resources Ltd. The Inferred mineral resource includes 0.2Mt @ 0.9% Cu and 0.1g/t Au for 1.0% CuEq occurring outside ML90240 and within EPM26777 that is under Joint Venture with Hammer Metals Limited (ASX: HMX) and where Carnaby holds 51% of the deposit with a right to earn up to 70%.

Reference 4:
