CASSIUS MINING LIMITED
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
29 April 2026
Q3 ACTIVITIES – FY 2026
Cassius Mining Limited (“Cassius” or the “Company”) (ASX Code: CMD) is pleased to provide shareholders with the Company’s Activities Report for the quarter ending 31 March 2026.
SOALARA LIMESTONE PROJECT, MADAGASCAR
Discussions with potential Joint Venture partners continued with a view to developing the project for future revenue.
Cassius simultaneously initiated a desk-top study of mining and processing options for the Limestone along with related infrastructure and equipment requirements, for discussion with the interested JV parties.
About the SOALARA LIMESTONE PROJECT
The Project’s resource is a near horizontal elevated sequence of Limestones forming a coastal escarpment adjacent to Soalara township (Figs 1-2). Close proximity to Toliara port (~28 kms) and the national road network supports cost effective logistics options for a future mining operation to transport high purity Limestone to domestic or international markets, including to existing domestic cement production facilities.

Figs 1-2– High Purity Limestone Exposure in the Soalara Escarpment

The very shallow nature of the Limestone at and near surface (~1.5m of overburden) allows a very low stripping ratio for highly cost-effective open pit mining.
The Soalara Project holds a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 340 to 440 Mt at 97% Limestone purity. The MRE remains open to the north, south and at 100m vertical depth, with the potential to be significantly increased in size (the current MRE covers only ~30% of the total target area):
- 95-130 Mt of 98.6% Limestone purity at 97.5% cut-off, dependent on a bulk or selective mining application, with 25-40 Mt (Indicated) and 70-90 Mt (Inferred) or,
- 340-440 Mt of 97% Limestone purity at 95.7-95.3% cut-off, dependent on a bulk or selective mining application, with 100-130 Mt (Indicated) and 240-310 Mt (Inferred)
