Exploration Update of the Central Yilgarn and Laverton Projects

Highlights

  • Within the Central Yilgarn Project an initial RC drilling program is planned to commence in 2H 2025.

  • Seven exciting walk up drill targets have shown proven mineralisation containing several high-grade intercepts not followed up.

  • Several robust, high tenor gold in soil anomalies can be enhanced with additional sampling.

  • At Laverton, a significant zone of gold mineralisation was identified from aircore drilling along the interpreted position of the regionally significant and mineralised Barnicoat Shear Zone.

  • Also, at Laverton a high-grade REE intersection is particularly significant with a 4m zone over 10,000ppm TREO (1%).

Catalina Resources Ltd (ASX: CTN) (‘Catalina’ or the ‘Company’) acquired the Yerilgee and Evanston greenstone belts in January 2025 from the wholly owned subsidiary of Dreadnought Resources Limited (DRE), Dreadnought Exploration Pty Ltd (“Dreadnought”)[1] . These Projects (Figure 1) are located within an underexplored region of the world-renowned Yilgarn Craton, approximately 190 km to the northwest of Kalgoorlie and 160 kms southwest of Leonora. The project area covers an area of over 650 km2, and over approximately 65 km of strike, along the Yerilgee and Evanston greenstone belts.

The tenements present a rare exploration play over multiple greenstone belts with proven mineralisation potential for gold, iron ore, lithium, nickel and Cu-Zn-Ag massive sulphides. With several high-grade gold targets identified and minimal follow-up to date, the exploration potential is considered by CTN to be significant.

Following a technical review of the voluminous database drill targets have been generated in the Yerilgee and Evanston greenstone belts with an RC drill program planned to commence in 2H, 2025.

Yerilgee Project

The exposed Yerilgee Greenstone Belt, which has been subjected to multistage deformation and shearing, is composed of typical greenstone lithologies comprising basalts, ultramafic volcanics, sediments, banded iron formations and granites. It hosts three primary camp-scale gold targets: T6, T8, and T11, illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2 – Regional geological interpretation of the Yerilgee Greenstone Belt. It hosts three primary camp-scale gold targets: T6, T8, and T11. The T6 Gold Camp contains the Chicken Little, Snowflake and Megatron drill targets

In 2018, gold was identified at surface by DRE during soil sampling and subsequent drilling produced significant gold intercepts at Chicken Little including:

  • BARAC0477: 24m @ 1.6 g/t Au from 0m and 9m @ 3.3g/t Au from 12m ².

  • BARRC025: 45m @ 0.4g/t Au from 6m, including 8m @ 0.9 g/t Au and 52.8 g/t Ag from 10m ².

In 2024 follow up drilling by DRE (2 RC holes, 270m) intersected a ~40m wide strongly sulphidised and variably oxidized banded iron formation (“BIF”) horizon with an internal felsic schist that is interpreted to be either highly altered

sedimentary rock or a small felsic porphyry. This horizon appears to be a key structural component to the mineralisation at Chicken Little (see Figure 4). In addition, variable weak to moderate quartz veining with associated sulphides was observed. Both holes intersected significant Au-Ag mineralisation including:

  • CYRC012: 17m @ 4.1 g/t Au and 28.0 g/t Ag from 53m, including: 4m @ 14.9 g/t Au and 72.2 g/t Ag from 54m ³.

  • CYRC013: 7m @ 0.2 g/t Au, 56 g/t Ag from 82m ³.

RC drilling at Chicken Little will focus upon the down dip and potential plunge of the identified mineralisation.

Megatron is identified by an intense ~600m x 400m gold in soil anomaly associated with major cross cutting structures and multiple phases of felsic and mafic intrusions. Gold mineralisation appears to be associated with a strong carbonate and sulphide altered felsic porphyry. RC drilling by DRE in 2024 reported

  • 9m @ 2.6 g/t Au from 23m, including 3m @ 7.1 g/t Au ⁴.

  • 11m @ 0.34 g/t Au from 21m, including 3m @ 1.2 g/t Au⁴.

Figure 4 – Drilling section for RC hole CYRC012 at Chicken Little North

Snowflake was identified by a ~800m x 200m gold and bismuth in soil anomaly associated with a secondary N-S trending structure, a significant 180m long quartz blow and felsic intrusions. High grade gold mineralisation from aircore drilling in 2024 (16m @ 1.9 g/t Au from 0m, including 4m @ 8.5 g/t Au from STKAC0118) was hosted within a near surface 1-2m ⁴ quartz vein within an intensely sericite carbonate altered felsic porphyry .

These results are highly encouraging and will result in a strong focus on the T6 Gold camp.

T8 Gold Camp: The T8 Gold Camp (located in Figure 2) is focussed upon a significant domal structure clearly indicated in magnetic and gravity geophysics. (see Figure 9). It was defined by a 1.7km x 400m gold-in-soil anomaly associated with As-Sb-Bi-Mo-W pathfinders. Drilling in 2018 identified an anticlinal closure of a banded iron formation (BIF) which had been replaced by pyrite, arsenopyrite and quartz in three holes, and had been intruded by a felsic porphyry along a major regional lineament. RC drilling by DRE returned significantly wide intercepts including:

Evanston Project

The northeasterly trending Evanston Greenstone Belt (see Figure 1 for location), is a strongly faulted and deformed belt, contained within the Evanston Shear Zone. Quartz veins are common and intrude all exposed rock types. Large quartz veins, up to 40 m thick, are parallel to the regional fabric of the shear zone and traceable over several hundred metres. Lithologies include basalts, ultramafics, banded iron formation, sediments and felsic intrusions.

The Evanston Greenstone Belt currently contains two main camp-scale gold targets: T1 and T2, (see Figure 6) with proven mineralisation and significant high-grade intercepts that have yet to be followed up.

Figure 7 – Exploration summary diagram of the Viper Prospect. Underlaying image is the regional aeromagnetic image.

T2 Gold Camp, Figure 6 : It is dominated by a large regional north-plunging syncline and contains minor felsic intrusions and pegmatites. At Leghorn, mapping by the GSWA in 2001 (Greenfield, 2001) identified extensive vein networks and significant rutile, sphene, and perovskite in outcropping calc-silicate lithologies. These minerals can contain major amounts of Nb, Ta, Ce, Ti and Rare Earth elements (REEs).

This camp includes significant gold-in-soil anomalies and historical gold workings along major structural trends. Within the calc silicate outcrops at Leghorn soil sampling, RC and aircore drilling have been completed⁵. Notable intercepts at Leghorn include:

  • 48m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 27m, including 21m @ 1.3 g/t Au in hole BARRC07 ⁸.

  • 34m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 32m, including 1m @ 2.88 g/t Au in BARRDD02 ⁸.

  • 7m @ 0.79% Cu, including 2m of 2.1% Cu, 535 ppb Au, 4 ppm Mo and 17.4 g/t Ag in RC hole BARRC01⁸

An exploration summary of the work conducted within the Leghorn project is illustrated in Figure 8. A structural trend containing several mineralised drill holes including BARRC001, BARAC0856 and BARRC07 is supported by anomalous Au, Ag, Mo and Cu soil geochemistry.

At Erk, located 2 kms east of Leghorn in Figure 8, a 3km-long North-trending gold-in-soil anomaly overlays a sheared granite and calc-silicate package. Drilled as a first-pass small AC program in 2023, with all drill lines intersecting gold mineralisation, it remains open to the west, north and south. Numerous nugget patches exist at Erk and more are found every year by local prospectors.

The geochemical attributes and gravity features occurring within calc silicate lithologies suggest a bulk tonnage Au-Cu mineralisation model including potentially lucrative skarn style mineralisation may be applicable at Leghorn. Gold in quartz vein hosted shear zones are applicable at Erk.

Soil Geochemistry

Whilst previous drilling has provided abundant follow-up drill targets, the acquired database containing over 20,000 soil samples and 700 rock chip samples will provide a steady pipeline of new drill targets. As the terrain is amenable to soil geochemistry, with minor amounts of transported cover masking the underlying weathered bedrock, soil sampling is an extremely cost-effective target generation tool.

The T8 Gold camp (discussed above) is located on the margin of a significant combined gravity and aerial magnetic dome (T8 Dome) illustrated in Figure 9. The domal feature may be due to a deeply buried granitic intrusve. In addition to the T8 soil anomaly, which identified the T8 prospect and is discussed above, two additional high tenor gold in soil anomalies have been identified in locations around the dome margins. These soil anomalies remain open along strike

Laverton Gold Project

Aircore drilling by CTN was completed at the Laverton Project (E38/3697) in September 2024 (Figure 10). The Laveton Project is located within the Laverton Gold Province, an exceptionally mineralised terrain in the Eastern Goldfields. The region hosts several world class deposits of gold, nickel and rare earth elements (REEs) including Sunrise Dam, Wallaby, Granny Smith and the Mt Weld REE deposit, one of the highest grade REE deposits in the world.

Drilling focussed upon the Barnicoat Shear Zone and its interpreted position within E38/3697 illustrated in Figure 11. The Barnicoat Shear Zone is a significantly mineralised structure with several moderate size gold deposits scattered along its length, illustrated in Figure 11. It is interpreted to pass through E36/3697, where it has been the focus of exploratory drilling by Catalina.

A significant zone of gold mineralisation was identified in hole LVAC049, near the interpreted position of the Barnicoat Shear Zone, see Figure 11 and 12. Best assay results from analysis of the 1m splits using a Fire Assay method are as follows ⁷:

  • LVAC049: 28m @ 1.09g/t Au from 57, Including 1m @ 9.69g/t Au from 57m.

This broad intersection of supergene gold mineralization with a high-grade zone of 1m @ 9.69g/t Au occurs within lower saprolitic clay but is interpreted to be located directly above the bedrock source of the gold mineralization. The gold intersection in LVAC049 is considered significant because it supports the visual observations of veining and alteration logged in bottom of hole samples. Importantly, hole LVAC012 located 50m to the east intersected altered and veined sediments at bottom of hole indicative of a hydrothermal system. The drilling cross section is illustrated in Figure 13.

Laverton REE Project

Anomalous REE intersections were returned from drilling in the gold target area illustrated in Figure 12. The high-grade intersection in hole LVAC037 on the southernmost aircore traverse is particularly significant with a 4m zone with over 10,000ppm TREO (1%), illustrated in Figure 14.

• 9m @ 7,565ppm TREO from 47m in LVAC037 Including: 4m @ 13,406ppm (1.34%) TREO from 49m[₆]

The REE assays in LVAC037 contain up to 0.3% NdPr (neodymium and praseodymium), a very high NdPr to total rare earth oxides (“NdPr:TREO”) ratio. These ratios are similar to those encountered in the nearby Mt Weld carbonatite hosted REE deposit which contains a resource of 54.7 Mt @ 5.3% TREO, (Duncan R. K. et al, 1990.). The neodymium magnets made from praseodymium alloy is one of the most powerful and widely used rare earth magnets in electrical motor manufacture, medical science, renewable energy, and high technology equipment (Constable, 2024).

==> picture [405 x 260] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 14 – The high-grade intersection in hole LVAC037 is particularly significant with a 4m zone intersecting over 10,000ppm TREO (1%)

The source of the REE mineralization is not known as the basement rocks are deeply weathered. However, the drilling was 100m spaced so intrusive dykes related to the Mt. Weld carbonatite may be present.

Next Steps

The Company is highly encouraged by both the drill targets at the Central Yilgarn Project and the assay results from the follow-up aircore drilling program completed at Laverton . The gold intersection in LVAC049 of 28m @ 1.09g/t Au from 57

includes 1m @ 9.69g/t Au from 57m and is considered very significant as it supports the visual observations of veining and alteration logged in bottom of hole samples.

Very significant REE intersections above 1% TREO were also intersected at Laverton.

RC drilling is planned to test the LVAC049 intersection at depth as well as the REE mineralization.

RC drilling and soil sampling is also planned for the targets discussed at the Central Yilgarn Project.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

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.

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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
DRE (Central Yilgarn Project) and CTN Laverton Project)
conducted aircore and reverse circulation drilling to obtain
1m samples which were placed on the ground from which
a scoop was used to composite 3m samples weighing
approximately 2‐3kgs being made up equally from each
sample pile.
RC Drilling (DRE)
Two sampling techniques were utilised for the RC
program, 1m metre splits directly from the rig sampling
system for each metre and 3m composite sampling from
spoil piles. Samples submitted to the laboratory were
determined by the site geologist.
From every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-
sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from
each metre of drilling or taken as a grab sample from the
bulk reject in more clay-rich material.
All remaining spoil from the sampling system was
collected in buckets or green plastic mining bags if wet
from the sampling system and neatly deposited in rows
adjacent to the rig. An aluminium scoop was used to then
sub-sample each spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m
composite sample in a calico bag.
QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks, and
CRM’s (OREAS Standards) will be inserted through the
program at a rate of 1:50 samples.
All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for
determination of gold by fire-assay (ALS Method Au-
ICP22). selected samples were also submitted for 48
multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish
(ALS Code ME-MS61) to assist with lithological
interpretation.
AC Drilling (DRE)
Aircore (AC) chips were collected at 1m intervals. 3m
composites were collected by a scoop sample from 1m
sample piles.
AC samples were collected via a static cone splitter
mounted beneath a cyclone return system attached to the
drill rig.
The static cone splitter produces up to two samples in

3 kg samples were pulverised to 85% passing 75 micron
for an aqua regia digest of an 50g aliquot followed by ICP‐
MS for gold (ALS Code Au‐TL44).
If the samples returned values greater than 0.5ppm Au,
then a 50g aliquot was fused by fire assay and finished by
AAS.
AC Drilling (CTN).
The drilling contractor was Gyro Drilling from Kalgoorlie.
Gyro uses 3m drill rods. Holes were drilled to blade refusal
unless excess water was intersected.Hole diameter was
85mm / 3.5”.
Aircore drilling uses a three-bladed steel or tungsten drill
bit to penetrate the weathered layer of loose soil and rock
fragments. The drill rods are hollow and feature an inner
tube with an outer barrel (like RC drilling).
Aircore drilling uses small compressors (750 cfm/250 psi)
to drill holes into the weathered layer of loose soil and
fragments of rock. Compressed air is injected into the
space between the inner tube and the drill rods inside
wall, which flushes the cuttings up and out of the drill hole
through the rod’s inner tube, causing less chance of cross-
contamination.
Gyro used an Air 750 CFM / 250 PSI Sullair Compressor
with additional Air Booster Support 750 CFM / 250PSI.
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.).
RC Drilling (DRE)
Challenge Drilling undertook the program utilising a KWL
380 drill rig with additional air from an auxiliary
compressor and booster. Reverse Circulation drilling
comprised a 90mm face sampling bit.

Prior to gold exploration in the 1980s and 1990s, the
ground was explored by base metal companies, though
few details of their work is recorded.
The area southeast ofLavertonis well mineralised and
has been explored by multiple companies resulting in the
discovery of the Granny Smith Gold Mine, the Burtville
Mining Centre, the Mt Weld REE mine and several
smaller sized gold deposits.
There have been several phases of Aircore and RC
drilling within E38/3697. Between the Lily Pond Well and
Pendergast South gold prospects drilling has been
conducted by exploration companies including:
Anglogold Ashanti, Crescent Gold, Acacia, Metex
Resources, Placer Exploration and Sons of Gwalia.
Previous drilling programs have been primarily of a
reconnaissance style focused on the Lily Pond Well and
Pendergast South Well areas.
Between these gold prospects along the interpreted

explain why this is the case.
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.
Intercepts are length weight averaged.
No maximum cuts have been made. Mineralized
intervals reported in this announcement use a cutoff of
100ppb Au (0.1g/t Au) and 1000ppm REE unless
otherwise stated.
Where aggregate intersections are reported in Figures
no more than one consecutive metre of dilution is used.
Significant intercepts are length weight averaged for all
samples with Au values >0.2g/t Au with up to 3m of
internal dilution (<0.2g/t Au).
No metal equivalents are reported.
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’). _
All intervals are reported as down hole intercepts.
True widths are unknown at this stage of exploration.
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.
Refer to Figures within this report.
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
reporting
of
Exploration Results.
The accompanying document is a balanced report with a
suitable cautionary note.
The locations of previous drilling are shown in diagrams
attached. More details can be found in the JORC tables
of previous announcements.
