SEPTEMBER 2024 QUARTERLY REPORT

Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation” or “Company”) presents its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 September 2024. The Company’s focus is on its projects in Western Australia and evaluating new opportunities in the resources sector.

KEY ACTIVITIES DURING AND SINCE THE QUARTER END

ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT

  • Acquisition of the Ularring Copper Gold Project in Western Australia where historical copper-gold (“Cu-Au”) drill results and geology indicates a highly prospective intrusion related Cu-Au system, a system style that can generate large scale deposits.

  • Region is known to host several major deposits that are intrusion related, such as the Boddington Copper-Gold mine and Caravel Minerals Ltd’s Caravel Copper Project (a porphyry hosted Cu-Mo-Ag-Au deposit).

  • Well-developed Cu-Au horizon identified at the Centre Forest Prospect (“Centre Forest”), interpreted to be hosted within a prospective regional shear corridor that follows the margins of an interpreted intrusion. Centre Forest drillhole results from surface oxides (saprolite) include:

  • CFR004 19m @ 2.02g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16m to EOH

  • CFC001 37m @ 0.73g/t Au, 0.26% Cu, from 21m

  • o CFC003 35m @ 0.64g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16m o UAC001 30m @ 0.94g/t Au, 0.1% Cu from 0m

  • Exciting opportunity to not only explore for higher grade Cu-Au zones at Centre Forest but also regionally along the targeted shear corridor (24km of strike), where minimal exploration has been undertaken to date. Review of historical data outside Centre Forest is ongoing and will assist in prospective target generation.

NATURAL HYDROGEN PROJECTS

  • Preferred applicant for six Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) applications covering 56,192km[2] within Western Australia. These first mover applications capture two basin scale opportunities that are considered highly prospective for natural hydrogen and helium .

  • Petroleum Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 passed in May 2024 establishes the framework for both the exploration for, and subsequent inclusion into existing gas pipelines, of naturally occurring hydrogen in Western Australia.

  • The economic potential of natural hydrogen as an energy source with its additional benefit as a zerocarbon fuel is gathering momentum worldwide - global demand is expected to grow fivefold by 2050.

  • Natural hydrogen is sourced underground and offers the potential for significantly lower cost of production and carbon emissions compared to other hydrogen production (including subsidies).

  • Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic gas which when combusted produces only a water vapour, making it a greener energy source.

  • Regional soil gas sampling program planned to commence once all land access agreements have been finalised. As each SPA-AO is granted, multi-team sampling crews are expected to cover the entire area within the 6-month timeframe allowed. Any instances of hydrogen will be immediately apparent as direct field readings are obtained.

ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT

During the quarter, the Company entered into a binding tenement sale agreement to acquire the Ularring Copper Gold Project (“Ularring” or the “Project”) in Western Australia from Breaker Resources NL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramelius Resources Limited (“Ramelius”) (ASX: RMS). Ularring, consisting of tenements E70/4686 and E70/4901 (cumulatively 187km[2] ) is located 100km northeast of Perth (Figure 1). Ularring is situated within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton and borders the Southwest and Youanmi Terranes. Historical drill results and geology indicates a highly prospective Intrusion related Cu-Au system for Ularring, a system style that can generate large scale deposits.

The region is known to host several major deposits that are intrusion related, such as the Boddington Copper-Gold mine (11Moz Au and 1Mt of copper produced, hosted in a sheared Intrusive related setting[8] ) and Caravel Minerals Limited’s (ASX: CVV) Caravel Copper Project (a porphyry hosted Cu-Mo-Ag-Au deposit containing 3Mt Cu, 61Kt Mo, 895koz Au and 46Moz Ag in Mineral Resource[9] ). A separate style of deposit in the region is the recently discovered Julimar Project (a mafic hosted PGE-Ni deposit) owned by Chalice Mining Ltd (ASX: CHN).

Centre Forest Prospect

Centre Forest is the most advanced and explored prospect within the Ularring Project (Figures 1 and 2). A well-developed Cu-Au horizon has been identified at Centre Forest which is interpreted to be hosted within a prospective regional shear corridor that follows the margins of an interpreted intrusion. A number of phases of drilling have been undertaken historically at Centre Forest by various exploration companies, however, there has been minimal programs in the last decade. Centre Forest represents an exciting opportunity to follow-up on previous drilling with the intention of identifying higher grade Cu-Au zones.

The results from previous drilling programs at Centre Forest have confirmed a continuous, broad zone of Cu-Au mineralisation over a strike length of 1.1km and remains open when utilising a >0.1g/t Au cutoff (Figures 1, 2-6). The CuAu mineralisation is interpreted to be best developed along a highly altered sheared margin of a granitoid intrusion and is hosted both in oxides (saprolite) from the surface and in the fresh rock located down dip. The associated mineral assemblage comprises quartz-garnet-biotite-cordierite-orthopyroxene with a sulphide suite comprising of pyrrhotitechalcopyrite with trace levels of bismuthate. Other metal associations with the gold mineralisation include elevated levels of silver, bismuth, molybdenum and tungsten. The sheared contact is believed to be part of the regional Meenar Shear Corridor.

  • Selected Centre Forest drillhole intersections from the surface oxides (saprolite) include;

o CFR004 19m @ 2.02g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16m to EOH o CFC001 37m @ 0.73g/t Au, 0.26% Cu, from 21m o CFC003 35m @ 0.64g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16m o UAC001 30m @ 0.94g/t Au, 0.1% Cu from 0m

  • Selected Centre Forest unweathered ‘fresh’ drillhole intersections include;

o CFC002 17m @ 1.1g/t Au, 0.21% Cu, from 84m o CFC006 20m @ 0.55g/t Au, 0.13% Cu from 80m o CFC010 7m @ 0.61g/t Au, 0.26% Cu from 67m

- Greater Exploration Potential Regional Targets

Ularring represents an exciting opportunity to not only explore for higher grade Cu-Au zones at Centre Forest but also regionally along the targeted shear corridor (24km of strike), where minimal exploration has been undertaken to date. Historical results have generated Cu-Au-Bi-Mo-W soil anomalies utilising a variety of sampling methods (soil and auger sampling) and various analytical techniques. These anomalies are located along strike of Centre Forest and on separate trends. These geochemistry anomalies along with a number of other promising historic targets were generated from exploration programs undertaken prior to 2012 and require further investigation/validation.

EXPLORATION FOR NATURALLY OCCURRING HYDROGEN LEGISLATED IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The Western Australian parliament recently passed the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, which establishes the framework for both the exploration for, and subsequent inclusion into existing gas pipelines, of naturally occurring hydrogen in Western Australia.

Constellation was previously advised that it had been conditionally accepted as the preferred applicant for six Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) applications over the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Basin areas (Figure 9), a cumulative area of 56,192km[2] . Constellation considers that it has selected two of the most prospective largescale basin opportunities for hydrogen, helium and associated gases that will give it a first mover advantage in the search for natural hydrogen in Western Australia. The proximity of both the Edmund Collier and Yerrida Basin projects to the Dampier to Perth and Goldfields gas pipelines offers a potential solution to market should a discovery occur.

Global hydrogen demand is expected to grow fivefold by 2050. Current hydrogen consumption is mainly sourced from grey hydrogen (produced by natural gas) and the search for and uses of a zero-carbon source of hydrogen is gathering momentum worldwide. Natural hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic energy source, with only a water vapour by-product, making it a zero-carbon fuel, with no water requirements needed for production. Natural hydrogen is sourced underground and offers the potential for significantly lower cost of production and carbon emissions compared to other hydrogen production (including subsidies).

The world’s only known natural hydrogen producing field is Bourakebougou in Mali, Africa which has been generating carbon free electricity utilising natural hydrogen since 2012. The Company considers both its Edmund Collier and Yerrida Basin Projects to have the potential to be a larger scale analogue of Bourakebougou. The Yerrida Basin applications prospectivity is further supported by reported gas outbursts from underground mining operations that bookend the project area.

Figure 8: Yerrida Basin STP- SPA-0120-21 Application Location.

During the quarter, the Company continued engagement meetings with relevant stakeholders (native title groups, pastoral stations, other tenement holders etc) regarding its proposed activities on the SPA-AOs. Engagement with relevant stakeholders is one of the preliminary steps in a multi stage program to seek grant of the SPA-AOs and the search for hydrogen, helium and associated gases.

Upon grant of and receiving approval to commence on-ground work programs, the initial planned activity includes a large scale regional soil gas sampling program utilising hand held gas detectors that are able to detect a range of gases as a proxy for helium, as this gas is only able to be measured by laboratory analysis. Sample site locations are located along the side of gazetted roads and tracks to minimise disturbance and simplify access issues.

The Company is currently planning for on ground activities to commence in the December 2024 quarter, subject to the finalisation of all land access agreements. Multi-team sampling crews are expected to cover the entire SPA-AO area well within the 6-month timeframe allowable under the SPA-AO requirements. Any significant anomalism will be immediately apparent as direct field gas readings are given in real time.

For further information on the Company’s SPA-AOs applications over the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Basin areas, refer to the Company’s ASX announcements dated 6 March 2024 and 27 May 2024.

ORPHEUS PROJECT – TRANSLINE TENEMENTS

The Company previously carried out follow up programs to progress the positive results returned from ultrafine soil sampling programs completed within the Transline (“Transline”) tenement portfolio of the wider Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia (Figure 12). The Transline tenements include E28/2738, E28/2957 (100% Constellation) and E28/2403 (70% Constellation, 30% Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX: ENT)).

Figure 10a and 10b: Ultrafine soil sampling nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) points with magnetics base image and MLTEM.

The results of the ultrafine program identified promising areas of elevated coincident nickel, copper and gold soil anomalism, along with other pathfinder elements, cobalt, silver, tellurium, selenium and chromite in the Eucla Basin cover sequence (Figure 10). The Eucla Basin thickness is interpreted to be 60-100m over the Proterozoic Basement units, based on a previous passive seismic survey undertaken by the Company.

The Company had previously interpreted priority Geophysical Targets south of the Transline from completed gravity and aeromagnetic surveys that could represent Proterozoic mafic intrusions that are concealed beneath the Eucla Basin cover sequence. Mafic intrusions in the Fraser Range are the key host unit for nickel sulphides deposits as displayed at the IGO Nova nickel mine. The nickel and copper anomalous soil results are located near Geophysical Targets 8, 9 and 10, however, importantly, no drilling has been undertaken where the soil anomalies have been identified.

Future exploration work programs at the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range include the testing of prospective targets with air-core drilling, is expected to take place in due course, subject to the completion of a heritage survey with the Ngadju Native Title Aboriginal Corporation and rig availability.

ABOUT THE ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT

The Ularring Copper Gold Project, consisting of tenements E70/4686 and E70/4901 (cumulatively 187km[2] ) is located 100km northeast of Perth (Figure 11). Ularring is situated within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton and borders the Southwest and Youanmi Terranes. The Ularring tenements overlie broad acreage farms and capture the Shires of Goomalling, Cunderdin and Northam. A series of access agreements that allow exploration within private properties are in place. Historical drill results and geology indicates a highly prospective Intrusion related Cu-Au system for Ularring, a system style that can generate large scale deposits.

The region is known to host several major deposits that are intrusion related, such as the Boddington Copper-Gold mine (11Moz Au and 1Mt of copper produced, hosted in a sheared Intrusive related setting[8] ) and Caravel Minerals’ (ASX: CVV) Caravel Copper Project (a porphyry hosted Cu-Mo-Ag-Au deposit containing 3Mt Cu, 61Kt Mo, 895koz Au and 46Moz Ag in Mineral Resource[9] ). A separate style of deposit in the region is the recently discovered Julimar Project (a mafic hosted PGE-Ni deposit) owned by Chalice Mining Ltd (ASX: CHN).
