DECEMBER 2024 QUARTERLY REPORT
Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation” or “Company”) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Report for the period ended 31 December 2024. The Company’s focus is on its projects in Western Australia and evaluating new opportunities in the resources sector.
HIGHLIGHTS
ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT
-
Following the successful acquisition of the Ularring Project during the quarter, completion of drillhole database, geochemical and geophysical reviews has identified several promising targets including the high priority prospects, Centre Forest, Southern Brook and the Cartamulligan (Figure 1).
-
This 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).
-
A well-developed copper-gold (“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. A review of a historical dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (“IP”) survey at Centre Forest has highlighted a promising, broad untested chargeable zone that is located down dip of Cu-Au drillhole intersections (Figures 2-4).
-
The Centre Forest chargeable zone may represent an area of increased sulphide development and a prospective intrusive related Cu-Au target. A follow up IP survey is planned to better define the extents of the anomaly prior to drilling.
-
Southern Brook Prospect (“Southern Brook”) is located 2kms to the south of Centre Forest along the prospective Meenar Shear Corridor. A review of the drillhole data has confirmed a number of significant copper results including:
-
RSB051: 24m @ 0.57% Cu from 26m including 2m @ 3.4% Cu from 46m
-
Limited gold assaying has been historically undertaken at Southern Brook, presenting an exciting opportunity for the Company. Promising copper-gold intersections have already been identified including a best intersection of:
-
DSB1: 20m @ 0.21g/t Au and 0.09% Cu from 127m and 9m @ 0.43g/t Au and 0.17% Cu from 150m
-
Located on the Cartamulligan shear corridor, the Cartamulligan Prospect (“Cartamulligan”) hosts a 2km long coincident CuAu soil anomaly including an underlying versatile time-domain electromagnetic (“VTEM”) anomaly that has not been drilled. Newly granted E70/6671 tenement covers extensions to the Cartamulligan trend to the south-west.
NATURAL HYDROGEN PROJECTS
-
Constellation’s total natural hydrogen project area expanded to a sizeable 87,602km[2] via three new Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) covering 31,410km[2] over the Ashburton Basin (Figure 6).
-
The Ashburton Basin SPA-AOs adjoin the Company’s existing Edmund-Collier SPA-AO project area and are intersected by the Goldfield’s gas transmission pipeline, offering a potential solution to market should a discovery occur.
-
A research agreement was signed with the CSIRO to collaborate on the exploration for natural hydrogen in Western Australia, in particular prospectivity studies for natural hydrogen and helium at the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Projects.
-
Regional soil gas sampling programs are planned to commence once all land access and stakeholder agreements have been finalised. Any significant hydrogen anomalism will be immediately apparent as direct field gas readings are given.
-
A review of all Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) core holes drilled by historical mineral explorers within the EdmundCollier SPA-AO boundaries was completed. The focus of the review is investigating the thick organic rich shale units within the basins as a potential source for thermogenic hydrogen generation from overmature shales. A sampling program is underway to submit samples for porosity, permeability, fluid inclusion and rock evaluation analysis.

ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT
The Ularring Project, consisting of tenements E70/4686, E70/4901 and newly granted E70/6671 (cumulatively 222km[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 CuAu 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) 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).
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 (if any) has been undertaken. Historical results generated Cu-Au-Bi-Mo-W soil anomalies utilising a variety of sampling methods (soil and auger sampling) and various analytical techniques which are located along strike of Centre Forest and on separate trends.
During the quarter, the Company completed a drillhole database, geochemical and geophysical review which has identified several promising targets including high priority prospects, Centre Forest, Southern Brook and Cartamulligan.

Centre Forest Prospect
Centre Forest is the most advanced prospect with well-developed Cu-Au horizon identified. The mineralisation is interpreted to be hosted within a prospective regional shear corridor that follows the margins of an interpreted intrusion.
Historical 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 2-4). The exploration opportunity at Centre Forest is to carry out programs that may lead to the identification of higher-grade Cu-Au zones from these promising wide but modest grade intersections. The Cu-Au 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-cordieriteorthopyroxene with a sulphide suite comprising of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite with trace levels of bismuthate. Selected Centre Forest drillhole intersections include:
-
CFR004 19m @ 2.02g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16m to EOH
-
oCFC001 37m @ 0.73g/t Au, 0.26% Cu, from 21moCFC003 35m @ 0.64g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 16moUAC001 30m @ 0.94g/t Au, 0.1% Cu from 0moCFC002 17m @ 1.1g/t Au, 0.21% Cu, from 84moCFC006 20m @ 0.55g/t Au, 0.13% Cu from 80m
During the quarter, the Company engaged an independent geophysical review of a single line dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (“IP”) survey conducted by Sipa Exploration in 2003 at Centre Forest (Figures 2-4). IP surveys are well recognised geophysical exploration tools to better identify developed sulphides zones and for Ularring, is a potential proxy to discover higher grade Cu-Au mineralisation. The original IP survey data was reprocessed and an inversion model produced by Core Geophysics was compiled. The resultant model points to a large low to moderate order chargeability anomaly that is down dip to the known mineralisation. The chargeability anomaly builds from 300m below the surface and extends to the east, presenting a promising intrusion related Cu-Au target. Additional IP lines are planned to explore the extents and/or areas with higher chargeability responses to refine the target prior to drilling.

Southern Brook Prospect
Southern Brook is located 2kms to the south of Centre Forest along the prospective Meenar Shear Corridor (Figure 1). Southern Brook was the initial focus for historical explorers due to the broad copper anomalism that was identified from surface geochemistry programs. Southern Brook exploration activity was undertaken well before the Centre Forest copper gold intersections were returned in drilling. A review of the Southern Brook drillhole data has confirmed a number of significant copper results including:
- RSB051: 24m @ 0.57% Cu from 26m including 2m @ 3.4% Cu from 46m
Limited gold assaying has been undertaken, presenting an exciting opportunity for the Company. Promising copper-gold intersections have been returned including open ended gold intersections >0.1g/t within partially sampled reconnaissance holes (refer Appendix 2). The best intersection was in a diamond hole drilled by Shell Company of Australia in 1982 following up the regolith copper anomalism confirmed in initial shallow reconnaissance holes. Selected results include;
- DSB1: 20m @ 0.21g/t Au and 0.09% Cu from 127m and 9m @ 0.43g/t Au and 0.17% Cu from 150m
Given that the IP survey technique appears to be an effective exploration tool at the Centre Forest Project to the north, an IP Survey is proposed to guide the next steps at Southern Brook.

Cartamulligan Prospect
Located on the Cartamulligan shear corridor, the Cartamulligan Prospect hosts a well-defined 2km long coincident Cu-Au soil anomaly including an underlying VTEM anomaly that has not been drilled within Cartamulligan (Figure 5). To secure the extensions of the Cartamulligan Shear Corridor to the southeast, tenement EL70/6671 was applied for and granted in quarter. The Company aims to undertake field mapping/sampling at Cartamulligan during the current quarter.

NEXT STEPS
Upcoming exploration work programs at the Ularring Project include:
-
Additional IP lines at Centre Forest to define the higher chargeability zone;
-
A soil sampling program to the north of Centre Forest along the Meenar Shear Zone; and
-
Field inspection of the Cartamulligan Prospect VTEM and soil sample anomaly locations.

EXPLORATION FOR NATURALLY OCCURRING HYDROGEN IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
During the quarter, the Company was advised that it had been conditionally accepted as the preferred applicant for a further three contiguous Special Prospecting Authorities with an Acreage Option (“SPA-AO”) applications (STP-SPA-01310133) over the Ashburton and Bresnahan basins (located within the Southern Pilbara/Capricorn Orogeny area), a cumulative area of 31,410km[2] . The new SPA-AOs complement the Company’s existing SPA-AOs over the Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Basin areas, expanding the total natural hydrogen project area to 87,602km[2] in Western Australia.
The Ashburton Project is located north of the Edmund-Collier SPA-AOs with the Goldfields gas transmission pipeline running along the east west spine of the project area, offering a potential solution to market should a discovery occur. A significant opportunity in the Ashburton Central SPA-AO is the development of multiple, kilometre scale, long-lived traps for gas accumulations, including anticlinal and structural traps, stratigraphic depositional pinch outs and diagenetic traps, and density driven hydrologic traps. Importantly, prospective fold-closures mapped at surface can be extrapolated in the subsurface in various geophysical interpretations. Numerous tectonic events and geological process are recognized that were potential drivers for gas generation and migration and for driving and rapidly focussing gas into traps.
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. Constellation considers that it has selected the most prospective large-scale 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.
Once a granted SPA-AO is received, the proposed exploration work programs in the current application areas draw on the ideologies behind ‘first-mover advantage’ — where the largest discoveries in an unexplored field for either metals or petroleum are usually shallow and found early in the field’s history.

One of the Company’s underlying technical assumptions are the largest and most viable hydrogen and helium gas accumulations are likely to leak through to the surface. Thus, the identification of anomalous gas seeps or ‘invisible gossans’ at the surface could be one of the low-cost mechanisms to quickly confirm the prospectivity of the basins.
The identification of gas seeps can be achieved by taking regular readings alongside an existing track using a small diameter hole that is drilled by a handheld drill. The probe is lowered down the resultant hole and connected to a sophisticated handheld gas detectors where a range of gases can be analysed (hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. Any anomalous surface gas seepage will be immediately apparent as direct field gas readings are given in real time. These gases could also be a proxy for helium. Helium can only be reliably measured by laboratories. If any areas of gas anomalism are detected, a gas sample will be collected and sent away for confirmatory analysis.

Stakeholder Engagement and Soil Gas Sampling
The Company is continuing engagement meetings with relevant stakeholders (native title groups, pastoral stations, other tenement holders etc) regarding its proposed activities on the SPA-AOs and aims to commence ground activities for one of the SPA-AOs for the Edmund-Collier area upon finalisation of all stakeholder engagements and other conditions i.e Department of Energy Mines and Industry Safety (DEMIRS) requirements. The regional soil gas sampling program is planned to progress in a staged manner as the remaining SPA-AOs submission conditions are satisfied and approvals given by DEMIRS.
For further information on SPA-AO applications, processes and proposed work programs, refer to the Company’s ASX announcements dated 6 March 2024, 27 May 2024 and 20 December 2024.

Thermogenic Hydrogen Generation from Overmature Shales in the Edmund-Collier Basin
A review of all Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) core holes that were drilled by previous mineral explorers within the Edmund-Collier SPA-AO boundaries has been completed during the quarter. The shallower parts of the northern basin margin have been targeted for Mt Isa style mineralisation (zinc-lead-copper) by previous explorers. The diamond cores from several of the deeper mineral exploration holes were inspected by the Company at the GSWA Perth Core Library.
A particular focus was investigating the organic rich shale units within the Edmund-Collier Basin, Blue Billy and Discovery Formations. Both these formations provide the potential source for thermogenic hydrogen generation from overmature shales (Figure 8). A sampling program is underway to submit samples for porosity, permeability, fluid inclusion and rock evaluation analysis.
CSIRO Research Agreement
During the quarter, the Company signed a research agreement with the CSIRO to collaborate on the exploration for natural hydrogen in Western Australia. The Company’s technical team will assist and co-fund the CSIRO in relation to prospectivity studies for natural hydrogen and helium, with a focus on the Company’s two basin scale Edmund-Collier and Yerrida Projects.
The project is part funded by CSIRO’s Kick-Start Program, an initiative that provides funding and support for innovative Australian start-ups and small/medium enterprises to access CSIRO’s research expertise and capabilities to help grow and develop their businesses.
Initial activities will focus on CSIRO research scientists evaluating the multiple available datasets (satellite imagery, remote sensing and various geophysics techniques) which could identify the presence of gas seepages at surface within the Company’s Natural Hydrogen Projects. Study results will also assist in optimising the designs of the Company’s planned soil gas sampling programs.
Once all available data and soil gas sampling results have been assessed, CSIRO will construct a prospectivity model that will map the areas of interest for natural hydrogen and helium for each basin and would help determine the logical next steps for the Natural Hydrogen Projects.
CSIRO is leading research into the understanding of natural hydrogen systems and are driving innovations for geological hydrogen exploration and commercialisation pathways, through its National Hydrogen Roadmap, which has a primary objective to provide a blueprint for the development of a hydrogen industry in Australia. With a number of activities already underway, the roadmap is designed to help inform the next series of investment amongst various stakeholder groups (e.g. industry, government and research) so that the industry can continue to scale in a coordinated manner.

ORPHEUS PROJECT – TRANSLINE TENEMENTS
The Transline tenements (part of the wider Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range) include E28/2738, E28/2957 (100% Constellation) and E28/2403 (70% Constellation, 30% Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX: ENT)). During the quarter, the Company completed an 11-hole (882m) vertical aircore drill program to test the soil anomalies defined using the ultrafine soil sampling process on E28/2738. No nickel or copper anomalism was defined in the saprolite or bottom of hole samples.
The Company had previously interpreted priority ten 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. Based on the results from the recent aircore drill program, the Company will reassess and prioritise these geophysical targets and the Orpheus Project in reference to its other current Western Australian projects.
CORPORATE
Ularring Copper Gold Project Acquisition and Completion
During the quarter, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, CR1 Minerals Pty Limited, satisfied or waived all conditions of the tenement sale agreement (“Agreement”) with Breaker Resources NL, acquiring 100% of the Ularring Project (E70/4686 and E70/4901) (“Ularring Tenements”) (the “Acquisition”). Additionally, the Company was granted E70/6671, adjacent to the Ularring Project. For further information on the Agreement and Acquisition of the Ularring Tenements, refer to the Company’s ASX Announcements dated 4 October 2024 and 12 September 2024.

Appendix 3: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (i.e. 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 (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. |
Rotary Air Blast drillholes (RCT1 – RCT56) were drilled by Shell Company of Australia (1982). Refer to WAMEX report A11174. Rotary Air Blast drillholes (RSB1 – RSB175) were drilled by Shell Company of Australia (1982). Refer to WAMEX report A14086. Shell Company of Australia (1982) drilled diamond drillholes (DSB1 and DSB2). Refer to WAMEX report A14086. Air Core drill holes (UAC111 – UAC116) were drilled under a Joint Venture with Sipa Resources and Placer Dome Asia Pacific during 2004 -2006. Refer to open file WAMEX report A76439. Aircore samples were initially composited up to 4m, and anomalous samples re- split to 1m and re-assayed. Diamond Hole SBDD001 was drilled under a Joint Venture with Sipa Resources and Placer Dome Asia Pacific during 2005. Refer to open file WAMEX report A71782. Shell Company of Australia carried out soil sampling program, concentrating over the Southern Brook Prospect. Refer to open file WAMEX report A14086 for further technical details Sipa carried out soil sampling and auger sampling with a focus on the Centre Forest and Cartamulligan Prospects. Refer to open file WAMEX reports A66830, A68847 and A76439 for further technical details. Sipa-Placer Dome JV (2004 – 2006) carried out soil sampling and Auger sampling Auger sampling. Refer to open file WAMEX reports A70721 and A71785 for further technical details. Mindax Limited carried out auger and soil, geochemical sampling programs. Further details the auger programs, refer to open file WAMEX reports A77258, A77283, A78088, A80781, A70785, A85890 and A99989. Further details for the soil programs, refer to open file WAMEX reports A89497 and A932699. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
Shell Company of Australia RAB holes were drilled to blade refusal. Shell Company of Australia (1982) drilled diamond Drillholes (DSB1 and DSB2). Refer to WAMEX report A14086. After a percussion pre-collar, the diamond core consisted of NQ or BQ sized bits. Sipa Resources, Mindax Limited and Placer Dome Asia Pacific collectively undertook Aircore, RAB and Diamond drilling. Sipa Resources RAB holes were drilled to blade refusal. Small amounts of water were intersected at 20-30m with some swelling clays that affected RAB drilling. Placer Dome Asia Pacific and Breaker Diamond core is HQ3, HQ or NQ2. Core is orientated using Reflex orientation tools, with core initially cleaned and pieced together at the drill site, and fully orientated. |

| 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. |
There is no significant loss of material reported in the mineralised parts of the diamond core for the Shell or the Placer Dome holes that were inspected by Constellation geologists at the GSWA core yard and after a review geological log within open file reports. |
| 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. |
All holes were logged by company geologists by the previous explorers at the time of drilling for lithology, alteration, mineralisation, structure, weathering, wetness and any obvious contamination and logged in full as per the company procedures. Data is then captured in a database and made public as per annual reporting requirements set by the relevant Western Australian Mines department at the time of drilling. All cores are photographed in the core tray, with individual photographs taken of each tray both dry and wet. |
| 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 being sampled. |
For each drillhole intersection included in this announcement, the drillhole database was cross checked to the original open file reports and assay files and recalculated at a 0.1g/t Au bottom cut. Samples were all sent to an accredited laboratory for sample preparation and analysis. Rotary Air Blast drillholes (RSB1 – RSB175)were drilled by Shell Company of Australia (1982). Refer to WAMEX reports and A11174 and A14086. Composite 2 m samples were collected in selected sections from the hole, generally only a few samples from the bottom of holes with the remainder of the hole left unsampled. The samples were sent to AMDEL laboratories in Perth for analysis. Shell Company of Australia (1982) drilled diamond drillholes (DSB1 and DSB2). Diamond samples fillets were sampled over 2m intervals and quarter core samples then taken from anomalous zones at 1 metre intervals. The samples were sent to AMDEL laboratories in Perth for analysis. For SDB0001, the sampling and assay techniques drilled under the Joint Venture with Sipa Resources and Placer Dome Asia Pacific, please refer to open file WAMEX report A71782. The collar of SBD0001 was drilled using and aircore rig and the remainder of the hole was cored with a diamond bit. Sampling was done at regular 1m intervals. Shell Company of Australia soil sampling program at southern Brook was collected using a -80 mesh on a 100m spaced lined with soil samples taken every 25m. Sipa soil auger samples were collected between 1m – 6m below the surface, beneath the surficial cover sequences and into the residual profile. The sample was sieved to -2mm. Sipa-Placer Dome JV carried out soil sampling and auger sampling. Auger samples were collected at nominal 1km x 200m and along the side of gazetted roads. Mindax Limited carried out auger programs on a notional 5km lines with a hole drilled every 200m. Augur holes were also drilled along the side of roads and fence lines. Soil lines were located along the Cartamulligan trend. |

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. |
Shell Company of Australia sent the Rotary Air Blast drillholes (RSB1 – RSB175) and the Diamond holes (DSB1 to DSB2) samples to AMDEL Laboratories in Perth. The assay suite consisted of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni and Ag. Due to the base metal exploration focus, gold using the Atomic Absorption Method was rarely submitted for assays. The holes that were selected for gold assays were occasional in intervals with high copper anomalism, noted alteration and the diamond holes. The majority of the Shell Company of Australia RAB holes at Southern Brook Prospect have little to no gold assaying undertaken, as reflected in the reported intersection table in the body of the text. Placer Dome sent diamond core samples to Genalysis Laboratories where they were analysed a suite of elements by mixed acid digest and using ICP-OES or ICP-MS. Gold analysis was using fire assay. All companies adopted standard QA/QC procedures. Shell Company of Australia soil sampling program at southern Brook was sent to Amdel and assayed for Cu, Zn and PB. Au was not assayed. Sipa soil and auger samples were sent to Ultratrace Laboratories. The laboratory methodology used a mixed acid digest with ICPMS and ICPEOS finish reading a suit of elements. For gold and platinum group elements, a fire assay was undertaken. Sipa-Placer Dome JV carried out soil sampling and Auger sampling Auger sampling. Samples were sent to Genalysis and dissolved with aqua regia with a mass spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy to read a suit of assays. Mindax Limited auger and soil samples were sent Ultratrace Laboratories and Aurum Laboratories. Assay methodology used aqua regia digest with atomic absorption spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. |
| 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 any adjustment to assay data. |
CR1 personnel have verified the significant results outlined in this report using a bottom-up approach. A validation of the inherited drillhole database was completed that included the cross checking of the drill hole information stored in the database against the original open file WAMEX reports, confirmation of assay methodology suitability, confirming the use of an accredited laboratory and the visual inspection of mineralised diamond core. Each intersection was recalculated with a strict 0.1g/t Au bottom cut. A number of Southern Brook holes were drilled in close proximity. In these instances, these “pseudo twinned holes” showed promising repeatability in both grades and thicknesses. Primary geological and sampling data were recorded and were subsequently transferred to a digital database. Constellation geological staff validated this information. No adjustments or calibrations were undertaken other than the average any repeated analysis for each individual sample. Soil and Auger programs have been undertaken periodically since 1980’s using a number of different collection techniques and assay methodologies. There also a varied suite of element assays that have been reported due to the focus on the exploration commodityat the time,For example earlyexplorers |

| didn’t assay for gold in surface geochemistry programs A number of historic orientation and validation reports have been completed by previous explorers that correlated the historic soil and augur program results, refer to open file WAMEX reports A68847, A71782 and A78088. Constellation has also an independent geochemical review with Sugden Geoscience late in 2024. A key finding for all these surface geochemical reviews is that copper appears to be the most consistent and repeatable element to show areas of regional anomalism, despite the various historic collection techniques and changes in analytical methods used. Hence a raw data copper plot has been included in the body of the text as it can highlight key prospects and point to prospective regional trends. |

| 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. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Shell Company of Australia established a local grid at Southern Brook to establish soil geochemistry grid and drillhole location were picked up using a survey instruments. All these locations have been transferred to the current grid system to an accuracy is estimated to be within +-10m. Handheld GPS recorded drill hole collars and surface geochemistry locations. For drilling GPS elevation values are corrected where necessary using a digital elevation model from a LIDAR survey. Expected accuracy is +/- 5m for easting, northing and RL (GPS) and +/- 0.1m or less LIDAR elevation point data. All diamond holes are gyro surveyed for rig alignment and downhole at the completion of the hole. The grid system is GDA94 MGA, Zone 50. |
| 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. |
Drill holes are at reconnaissance variable spacings. Drilling is not located on any particular grid at this time. There is insufficient drilling to use for a mineral resource at this point in time. No sample compositing has been applied to diamond drill core. |
| 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. |
The general orientation of the Centre Forest Prospect and Southern Brook mineralisation trend is at a strike ~ 335 degrees, moderately easterly-dipping ~45 degrees and is typically between 10-30m wide. Centre Forest Prospect drill holes were drilled on oblique sections and perpendicular to the main mineralised trend. For drill holes drilled towards 245 degrees at -60 dip. There remains insufficient information available to conclusively determine if there is a relationship between drilling orientation and mineralisation, but an initial assessment shows this is unlikely. |

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The portfolio is made up of two tenements E70/4686 and E70/4901 which are held 100% by Breaker Resources NL. The registered holder of the tenement will be assigned to CR1 Minerals Pty Ltd as part of the completion of the sale. Tenement E70/6671 is held 100% by CR1 Minerals Pty Ltd and was granted on the 4/12/2024. There are no material interests or issues associated with the tenements. The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. A series of Access Agreements are in place with the landholders to conduct exploration activity within the portfolio. The private landholders have standard rights to their property. Breaker executed a “Noongar Standard Heritage Agreement” on the 20/03/2023 covering tenements E70/4901 and E70/4686. The project area was previously subject to the “Southwest Settlement” determined area (Native Title Area ID WC1996/041; Federal Court Reference WAD6085/1998). As per the National Native Title Register, the project is currently within “Southwest Settlement”, Tribunal file number WCD2021/010 with a determination date of 01/12/2021. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
The area of the tenement was covered by reconnaissance scale laterite sampling undertaken by the CSIRO between 1983 and 1986. It was from this data that the Centre Forest Prospect was identified. Shell Company of Australia conducted Cu-Zn exploration in the 1970’s to early 1980’s in the area covered by the current tenement. Theirs work consisted of soil, lag and rockchip geochemical sampling, Sirotem, RAB and diamond drilling. From 1993 to 1996, BHP Minerals targeted a Boddington-Style deposit however their regional soil sampling activities were focussed further to the west. Between 1996 and 1999, CRA Exploration undertook aircore drilling targeting kaolinite deposits. Between 2000 and 2003, exploration activities were conducted on the tenement area by Sipa Resources NL, and by Placer Dome in joint venture with Sipa between 2004 and 2006. Exploration activities by Sipa and Placer are well summarised by Sipa (A076439 WAMEX report) and Mindax Energy Pty Ltd (A078088 WAMEX report). From 2009 to 2014, Mindax Energy Pty Ltd commenced exploration fieldwork with heli VTEM and geochemical sampling program (auger, soil, rock chip) which was followed by extensive geophysical, aircore drilling and fixed-loop EM survey. Breaker Resources NL (2015 - 2023) purchased Mindax’s database, carried out detailed re-logging of the two Placer Dome diamond drill holes. 20 line-km Deep Ground Penetrating Radar survey across three prospect areas was undertaken.

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Ularring Project is located within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton, in the Corrigin tectonic zone and borders the Southwest and Youanmi Terranes. The region is known to host several economic deposits such as Boddington, the past mined Griffin’s Find, Calingiri, the world-class Julimar PGE-Ni and the 2.84Mt Caravel Minerals Caravel copper deposit. The project area regolith is dominated by loose sand produced by granite gneisses weathering, and the fresh bedrock is dominated by gneisses, banded iron formations, amphibolites, and granulites belonging to the 3.2 – 2.8 Ga Jimperding Metamorphic Belt. This belt extends N-NW for over 120km and varies in width from 15-65km (Wilde and Low, 1978) and was interpreted as mixed mafic, sedimentary sequence intruded by sills of dolerite and ultramafic rocks that were all together subject to regional/granulite facies metamorphism (high temperature and pressure conditions) progressively increasing eastward. The strata dips mostly to the east at moderate to steep angles. The Meenar Shear zone appears to separate the two domains: The western domain dominated by the upper mentioned gneiss and granulite with sedimentary, mafic and ultramafic protolith. The south-western domain is dominated by banded and nebulitic migmatite and gneiss with local banded iron formation (BIF), as well as leucocratic gneiss. The eastern domain dominated by gneiss and migmatite that were intruded by equigranular to porphyritic granite. In the regional context, little is understood about the Meenar Shear zone and its potential for hosting mineralisation. Constellation is currently investigating the geology and the paragenesis of the mineralisation styles observed at Ularring. Preliminary interpretation suggests the presence of granitoid related gold style of mineralisation in the area |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole. odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Refer to Appendix 2 for significant drill results and a summary of all the required drill hole information. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths |
Grades are reported above a lower cut-off grade of 0.1g/t Au, Tabulated results are individual samples with a length ranging from 0.1 to 4m. A minimum intercept length of 1m applies to the intervals. A minimum internal dilution of one metre is applied where applicable. |

| 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 reported diamond drill assay results, RAB and AC have been length weighted (arithmetic length weighting). No metal equivalents have been undertaken. Copper grades for a selected hole at Southern Brook Prospect was using a lower cut-off grade of 0.1% Cu., Tabulated results are individual samples with a length of 2m. |
|
| 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
All drill hole intercepts are measured in downhole metres. The general orientation of the Centre Forest Prospect and Southern Brook Prospect k is the mineralisation is at a strike ~ 335 degrees, moderately easterly-dipping ~45 to 65 degrees and is typically between 10-30m wide. Centre Forest Prospect drill holes were drilled on oblique sections and perpendicular to the main mineralised trend. For drill holes drilled towards 245 degrees at -60 dip, the downhole intervals are interpreted to be close to true width. |
| 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. |
A representative cross section and plans of drillhole locations have been provided in the body of the 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 avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Grades reported in are based om a 0.1g/t Au bottom cut. No top cut off has been applied. |
| Other substantive 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. |
Mineralogical information that has been included in the report is based on two historic optical petrology reports by independent consultants sourced from WAMEX Report A76439 and A71782. Other mineralogical information was obtained from open file HyLogger-3 scans for diamond hole SDB0001 that is available on GeoView from the Geological Survey of Western Australia. The historical ground IP survey data was completed by GPX Surveys for Sipa Exploration NL in 2003, included with WAMEX report A68847. The survey was collected using a Zonge GGT-30 transmitter and Zonge GDP-32 Receiver. A single line of Pole- Dipole IP was collected, with 100m dipole spacing to N=8. The data were verified and validated by Core Geophysics. A historical Versatile Transient Electromagnetic survey referred in this release was flown by Mindax LTD over 2 campaigns in 2007 and 2009. The data is available publicly via DEMIRS MAGIX as R70116 and R70349. The surveys were flown east-west with 200m line spacings and nominal 80m flying height. The VTEM data were verified and validated by Core Geophysics. Previous interpretation identified 22 targets within the company tenements of which 11 were labelled strong and 11 as moderate (report supplied to Mindax LTD). A more recent review by Core Geophysics defined 9 targets of interest of which 7 were not previously identified. None of the 9 targets have been effectively tested. |
