About AuResources
AuResources AG is a Swiss-based fintech startup using distributed ledger technology to revolutionize the gold market. Its primary innovation is tokenizing future gold production contracts and turning them into digital assets, opening up opportunities for investment much earlier in the gold supply process than traditional markets allow. Commenting on the transaction, AuResources CEO Ian Cooper said:
“ We've tailored our solution to the specific needs of small to medium-scale miners. This early-stage access allows for substantial growth potential and returns, while our commitment to rigorous legal compliance ensures the project's resilience to evolving financial regulations. We’re excited with the prospect of providing funds to Classic Minerals and partnering with Black Manta Capital Partners, a global company, who have also confirmed that this transaction is one that they and their investors are enthusiastic about. As we partner with Classic and provide them with an opportunity to grow, we will also grow with them and provide a valuable service to our investors .”

ABOUT THE FORRESTANIA GOLD PROJECT
The FGP Tenements (excluding Kat Gap) are registered in the name of Reed Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed Redivium Ltd (ASX: RIL), previously Hannans Ltd. Classic held 80% of the gold rights on the FGP Tenements via a third party, whilst Redivium maintained its 20% interest in the gold rights. Classic is in the process of purchasing the final 20% from Redivium pending terms of the binding sale agreement (CLZ HNR ASX release 03 Oct 2023 and RIL CLZ ASX release 5 June 2024). For the avoidance of doubt Classic Ltd owns a 100% interest in the gold rights on the Kat Gap Tenements and also non-gold rights including but not limited to nickel and lithium.
Classic has inferred and indicated mineral resources of 8.09Mt at 1.45 g/t for 377,946 ounces of gold , classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), with Scoping Study (see ASX Announcement released 2nd May 2017) suggesting both the technical and financial viability of the project. The current postmining Mineral Resource for Lady Ada, Lady Magdalene and Kat Gap is tabulated below. Additional technical detail on the Mineral Resource estimation is provided, further in the text below and in the JORC Table 1 as attached to ASX announcements dated 21 June 2023.
