ASX Announcement

3 April 2024

- Production Restart Study on Woodlawn Copper Zinc Mine, NSW

Woodlawn NPV jumps 37% to A$658m with free cashflow of A$1b over 10-year mine plan

Mine plan shows restart capital cost of just A$42m and first production in H1 CY2025; Outstanding results mean Develop has several funding options, including a potential minority interest sale

Highlights

  • Woodlawn Production Restart Study returns exceptional metrics across the board, showing the mine will create substantial value for shareholders

  • The pre-tax NPV has jumped 37% from the previous estimate in Sep-23 to A$658m; This reflects Develop’s substantial exploration success at the mine, which has seen the Ore Reserve increase by 80% to 6Mt at 2.8% copper-equivalent (CuEq[1] ) and Mineral Resource increase by 55% to 11.3Mt at 3.8% CuEq

  • Pre-tax free cashflow has soared 60% from A$626m to A$1b, based on a 10-year mine plan

  • Study based on consensus price forecasts: Assumed prices in the first 18 months of production are US$8,769/t copper and US$2,688/t zinc

  • Study shows Woodlawn is a low-risk restart: 80% of the mine plan is underpinned by Reserves; Restart capital cost is just A$42m; Fully-permitted; Mine, processing and other infrastructure already in place

  • Production restart has been substantially de-risked with the first two years of production already fully developed and grade control drilling completed; All capital infrastructure installed

  • Mine workforce will peak at 250; Majority of key site management and underground mining/maintenance teams are already employed by Develop; Numerous expressions of interest received from experienced local and regional operational personnel for the remaining positions

  • In light of these exceptionally strong financial and operational metrics, Develop has decided to start exploring funding options which may result in it selling a minority interest in Woodlawn

  • Develop intends to implement a similar strategy at its Sulphur Springs zinc-copper mine in WA; Sulphur Springs NPV is A$523m (as at June 2023)

Develop (ASX: DVP) is pleased to announce the outstanding results of a Production Restart Study on its Woodlawn copper-zinc mine in NSW.

The Study shows Woodlawn is set to generate outstanding financial returns and create substantial value for Develop shareholders, with significant increases in the Net Present Value (NPV), Reserves, free cashflow and mine life compared with previous assessments.

The big gains across all metrics are a direct result of Develop’s highly successful exploration program, which has significantly increased the inventory of copper and zinc, particularly in the Reserve and the Measured and Indicated categories of the Resource.

Develop Managing Director Bill Beament said: “The restart plan confirms that Woodlawn is a great mine by any measure.

“The valuation, the inventory, the cashflow and the returns are all extremely strong. At the same time, the start-up costs, the funding requirements and the risks are all very low.

“This exceptional scenario sits against a backdrop of a very bullish outlook for copper and zinc, particularly in tier one locations.

“In light of this enviable position, Develop has commenced exploring several funding options. These include potentially selling a minority interest in Woodlawn to a strategic investor, traditional project finance and offtake financing.

“The sale of a minority interest would enable us to recycle some capital and may provide us with a model which we can apply to our Sulphur Springs mine at the appropriate time.

“We have already received an elevated level of interest in Woodlawn from potential financiers, strategic partners and customers and we will now test this appetite more thoroughly. Completion of this milestone, which will be our major focus this quarter, will put us in the home straight for a production restart.

GEOLOGY & MINERALISATION

The Woodlawn deposit is a stratiform volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit that is hosted within the central part of the mid Silurian to early Devonian Goulburn Basin: a deep water, back-arc basin which developed within Ordovician to early Silurian sediments of the Lachlan Fold Belt that hosts numerous metalliferous deposits. Woodlawn lies on the eastern limb of the asymmetric north-northwest plunging Woodlawn Syncline. Mineralisation for base metal (copper, zinc, lead) and precious metal (silver, gold) is hosted in regionally metamorphosed (greenschist facies) fine to coarse-grained felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks, volcanogenic sedimentary rocks and minor carbonaceous shale, known as the Woodlawn Volcanics.

Three mineralised horizons (Lower, Middle and Upper) hosting 11 known massive sulphide lenses occur within a 400 m × 600 m wide and 900 m deep northwest plunging corridor which remains open at depth.

RESOURCES

The underground Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 11.3Mt @ 1.8% Cu, 5.8% Zn, 2.1% Pb, 46gpt Ag & 0.5gpt Au for the Woodlawn copper-zinc mine was prepared by Entech (see ASX announcement dated 22 March 2024) and is reported according to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the ‘JORC Code’) 2012 edition.

The MRE includes 250,118m of drilling from 1,192 diamond drill holes (DD), including reverse circulation with diamond tails, and 39 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, completed since 1969. Of the drill metres underpinning the Mineral Resource, 24% were completed by Heron Resources Limited (Heron), 10% were completed by Develop Global Limited (Develop) and the remaining historical drilling was completed by previous owners between 1969 and 2013. The depth from surface to the current vertical limit of the Mineral Resources is approximately 950m.

The Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource is reported excluding historical mining voids and exclusion zones, comprise wholly of fresh rock material and use a net smelter return (NSR) cut-off value. The NSR cut-off value chosen to constrain and report Mineral Resource blocks were A$100/t for all lenses (Table 77).

ESG

Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our company values. Our sustainability strategy defines how we aim to integrate environmental and social science into our business model and guide us in our efforts to achieve sustainable outcomes for the environments we operate in. We are applying this approach to our planning for Woodlawn, by embedding sustainability-driven designs, decisions, planning and operation into the mine.

Since the acquisition of the site by Develop, focus has been placed on improving the standard of environmental and social management on site, through the lens of the company’s over-arching approach to ESG.

The main focus for the site Environment and Sustainability Team over the previous year has been management of the site water balance as well as the rehabilitation of the site legacy tailings and waste rock storage facilities.

Rehabilitation work on the legacy dams has progressed much more rapidly under Develop leadership and significant progress has been made on an industry-leading approach to disturbed area rehabilitation using composted material in replacement of the difficult to source topsoil. This research project under development and has shown substantial success in accelerating the rate of rehabilitation possible as well as reducing the consumption of natural resources that would otherwise have to be sourced.

Figure 4 Composted rehab trial area

==> picture [511 x 239] intentionally omitted <==

Most of the rehabilitation on site is conducted using by-product material from other facilities in the region including crushed fines, clays, composts and alkaline materials. The work is completed using local contracting teams and a large amount of local stakeholder engagement is conducted to deliver a cost-effective outcome for the operation with community buy-in.

UNDERGROUND MINING

Develop has completed the mining portion of a study update for Woodlawn, including an Ore Reserve update.

The mine operating costs have been completed by Develop using its own mining services division to price the works required, the cost estimate accuracy is +/- 15%.

Based on the inputs and constraints, the assumed mining method for the deposit is a mixture of overhand and underhand long-hole stoping with cemented paste fill as the main method for backfilling with some requirements for cemented rockfill (CRF) and rockfill in the lower levels of Kate Lens during start-up re-commissioning of the pastefill system.

Net Smelter Return (NSR) Calculation and Stope Optimisation

The NSR values were calculated on a cell-by-cell basis and used in the cut-off calculation and stope optimisation process.

The NSR calculation considers ore being broken into two distinct products:

  • Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn)

The suitability of ore for each product is determined by its grade for each metal and its metallurgical weathering category.

Stope optimisations were run on the Mineral Resource models using Deswik’s Stope Optimiser® (SO®) software. All Resource categories (Measured, Indicated and Inferred) were included during the optimisation process.

Mining

The mining method in the mine plan is consistent with previous studies: top-down, long hole open stoping utilising paste fill. The majority of the mine development is planned to access stopes as end on and retreat stoping to abutments, the exception to this is the Kate lens where central access drives have been designed where stoping will be mined to a retreating pillar.

Ore is scheduled from a combination of new and remnant areas. The ore will be trucked to surface then transferred 2.1km overland to the processing plant.

Significant changes in decline strategy from previous studies is incorporated into the current mine plan planning. Scheduling of the mine plan capital development and production areas are now decoupled with decline development ~200 vertical metres ahead of the stoping front. Decline path has been adjusted away from remnant areas and access the historic workings will be from new development.

The new approach with capital development being mined well ahead of production fronts delivers significant benefits, including increased production profile compared to previous mine plans and ability for fast and effective production ramp-up with multiple production fronts available and stope flexibility. It will also give the ability to effectively blend and process both copper and polymetallic ores given flexibility of multiple production fronts.

The current south decline has been developed to exploit the Kate Lens orebody. This development is all but complete and the south decline is planned to continue towards the footwall of D and I lenses.

METALLURGICAL TESTING AND PROCESSING

The prior operations at Woodlawn were focused on tailings retreatment with underground ore as a supplementary high-grade source. Develop will treat underground ore exclusively, allowing the circuit configuration to optimise this flowsheet.

Historical learnings from the original Denehurst operation as well as Heron processing were used to develop the future flowsheet.

The major problems to be addressed include 1) availability and operability issues in the comminution circuit caused instability of the flotation process; 2) insufficient crushing and/or grinding power to achieve desired consistent throughput rates and product size; 3) water quality issues impacting equipment reliability and flotation performance.

Installation of a tertiary crusher and increasing crushed ore storage capacity will address the comminution capacity issues and support a processing rate more than 850kt per annum.

Water recycled from internal streams and tailing return decant water will be treated via a cation and solids removal circuit. This upscales the Heron strategy by repurposing equipment previously used for tailings retreatment. Antiscalants will be dosed at strategic locations to further control scale formation during operation.

==> picture [511 x 198] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Figure 10 Updated Woodlawn Process Flowsheet
----- End of picture text -----

The 3MW Isa mill used in tailings retreatment circuit will be made redundant. The flotation feed size will be reduced from 75um down to 65um and the 4 x Metso SMD regrind mills will provide liberation in a more energy-efficient manner. These mills will have individual variable speed drives fitted to optimise their performance.

Metallurgical testing is ongoing to optimise best conditions for flotation selectivity in copper, lead and zinc stages for all ore types.

Reagent dosing systems will be redesigned to achieve automated and accurate delivery to the circuit and will respond to changes in feed grades and tonnages. The incorporation of starch into the conditioning stage shows promise for reducing the lead content of the copper concentrate and will be incorporated into the revised flowsheet for when required.

METALLURGICAL RECOVERIES

Expected copper recoveries are uplifted from those used in Heron’s DFS and operating targets. The Heron strategy targeted much higher concentrate grades, limiting recoveries, whereas Develop has normalised concentrate grade targets in line with those achieved from the historical Denehurst operation. The recoveries are supported by actual performance results achieved during historical operation from 1978 to 1998 (20 years).

By segregating and treating copper only ore discretely, rather than blending with polymetallic ore, average copper recoveries of 84% were achieved in historical operation. Recovery of copper from polymetallic ore averaged 64% so there is a large benefit to separate treatment where possible. A key parameter for copper performance, the copper to lead ratio, is also favourably higher than historical for the initial years of operation and aids with limiting the amount of lead reporting to the copper concentrate.

The updated mine plan has assumed the following processing recoveries:

  • (a) Copper – 84% for Cu only ore, 64% for polymetallic ore (Zn)

  • (b) Zinc – 85%

  • (c) Lead – 67%

  • (d) Silver – 90%

  • (e) Gold – 50%

LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT

Develop will outsource the transport and logistics management of the Woodlawn concentrate. It is envisaged this will resemble the strategies used by Heron Resources with potential ship loading out of Botany and Port Kembla.

FINANCIAL EVALUATION

The mine plan financial model (the “ Financial Model ”) demonstrates the robust economics of the Mine.

The Woodlawn Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve has been used as the basis to design an underground mine plan and optimised mining schedule to deliver ore grading 1.4% Copper and 4.2% Zinc to a 0.85Mpta processing plant over 10 years to produce an annual average of 12,000t copper and 36,000t of zinc metal in payable streams.

Using industry experts to guide and facilitate the cost estimation and process design a strong understanding of real costs given inflationary market have been built into the Woodlawn mine ensuring successful implementation and execution can be achieved. It has been determined the Mine has an upfront capital requirement of A$42M including:

  • Upgraded crushing circuit;

  • Upgrades to site buildings and infrastructure; and

  • Underground ore development and stoping activities

The mine plan average onsite operating cost including mining, processing, and on-site administration is A$159 per ore tonne processed, on a real basis.

Given the assumed metal prices and AUD:USD exchange rate the mine delivers gross revenue of A$2,595M and a net pre-tax operating cash flow of $A1,003M and averages A$100M per annum.

On this basis, the Mine has a pre-tax NPV7% of A$658M and a payback period of two years.

Annual cash flows are represented in Figure 13. Table 14 represents the mine plan summary.

Cautionary Statement

The mine plan outcomes in this announcement comprise a Production Target and forecast financial information for the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Mine and are based on an updated mine plan for the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Mine.

The Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources underpinning the Production Target (and the forecast financial information based on that Production Target) have been prepared by a competent person in accordance with the requirements in the JORC Code 2012 Edition. Refer to the Competent Person Statements at the back of this announcement.

The Production Target is based on Develop’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. All material assumptions upon which the Production Target (and forecast financial information based on the Production Target) are disclosed in this announcement. Develop has concluded that it has a reasonable basis for providing the Production Target and forecast financial information included in this announcement.

The Production Target (and the forecast financial information based on the Production Target) contained in this announcement includes material classified as Ore Reserves and Inferred Mineral Resources. Material classified as Ore Reserves contributes ~79% of the material within the Production Target, Inferred Mineral Resources contribute ~21% of material included within the Production Target. Accordingly, a proportion of the Production Target (and the forecast financial information based on that Production Target) is based on Inferred Mineral and the Company notes there is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target insofar as it relates to the Inferred Mineral Resources will be realised.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the exploration target will ever be confirmed or converted into mineral resources. The Company may decide not to undertake further exploration work, or may decide to revise or abandon the exploration target as a result of exploration results or other relevant factors.

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 (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 NSR taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.

Diamond (DD) drilling makes up 98% of Woodlawn underground resource drill holes, including surface parent holes,
wedge holes and drilling from underground drill cuddies, providing intercept points to an average spacing of 20 m × 20 m
and maximum vertical depth of 940 m. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling makes up the remaining 2% of drill holes
underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The RC holes were drilled from surface locations to a maximum
depth of 145 m. It was noted the RC drilling targeted up-dip extensions of lenses.

DD holes were sampled using HQ3 (61.1 mm) or NQ3 (45 mm) diameter core. Develop’s DD sampling is predominantly
at 1 m downhole intervals, which are broken at major mineralisation or lithological contacts. Historical holes (66% of
database) were a combination of 1 m downhole sampling or were based on geological contacts.

RC samples were collected at 1 m intervals and composited to 2 m (historical) or 4 m (Heron) spear samples. Zones of
mineralisation were re-split at 1 m intervals.

Sludge drilling (119 holes), 12 face samples and 88 channel samples were included in the dataset. The sampling
techniques and quality are unknown, but each sampling method carries high risk of preferential sampling bias outcomes.
For this reason, the sludge, face and channel sample data were excluded from the downhole compositing process and
do not inform the MRE outcome.

Include reference to measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.

Prior to 1998, there were no QAQC (quality assurance and quality control) procedures requiring the insertion of
commercially available certified reference materials (CRMs), duplicates and blanks in place.

No blind QAQC procedures were in place for historical diamond drilling from 1969 to 1998. Blanks and CRMs were
inserted alternately at a frequency of 1:30 samples from 1999 to 2012. From 2013, CRMs and blanks were inserted into
the sample stream at frequencies ranging between 1:20 and 1:30 samples.

After 1998, QAQC programmes were implemented for all drilling types. Approximately 25% of the assay database is
supported by QAQC data.

The QAQC data for Develop drilling was independently reviewed by Entech, no bias or errors were identified. The assay
methods reflect current industry practice, it was noted that insertion rates of QAQC samples are sub-optimal in the context
of Scogings and Coombes (2014).

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.

RC and DD drilling was used to obtain a 1 m sample (on average) from which samples were crushed and then pulverised
in a ring pulveriser (LM5) to a nominal 90% passing 75 μm. For each interval, a 250 g pulp sub-sample was taken; these
were then split to a 50 g charge weight for fire assaying, with checks routinely undertaken.

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).

A total of 250,118 m of drilling from 1,192 diamond and diamond tails, and 39 RC drill holes, were available for the MRE.
This includes 42 new diamond drill holes completed by Develop since the 2023 MRE (11thOctober 2023).

RC drilling has been confined to shallow near-surface exploration targets and near-surface up-dip testing of lens
mineralisation. RC drilling from 2013 onwards used a 4.5-inch face sampling hammer with a booster and auxiliary
compressor to boost sample recovery.

DD procedures, core sizes and recoveries have varied over the years. Most historical surface drill holes were cored at
NQ size; more recent drilling has predominantly been HQ, reducing to NQ at depth. Underground core sizes were
historically BQ and NQ, with more recent drilling being predominantly NQ.

No core orientation data had been recorded in the Woodlawn drilling metadata. No evidence of core orientation was
observed during Entech’s September 2023 site visit.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.

During Develop’s DD campaigns, cores were laid out in standard core trays, marked and recoveries calculated. Visual
checks of available historical core photographs confirmed that similar procedures were followed by Heron from 2014 to
2020 and historical owners prior to Heron.

Historical documentation notes that RC recoveries were purely qualitative, with sample recovery visually estimated (most
recoveries were recorded as being close to 100%).

Measures
taken
to
maximise
sample
recovery
and
ensure
representative
nature
of
the
samples.

Core recoveries during Develop’s drilling were fair to good, with an average recovery above 98.5%. Recoveries through
the dolerite, rhyolite, silica sericite alteration zones and through the massive sulphide mineralised zones were generally
excellent; poorer recoveries were experienced through the chlorite and talc chlorite schists and zones of faulting.

No data on the historical core recovery statistics have been recovered, but visual inspection of the core photography
suggests that recoveries were similar to those logged by Develop.

As a result of the high recoveries observed, there is not expected to be any relationship, or bias, associated with the
areas of core loss/poor recovery.

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.

Diamond core recoveries exceed 95%. A sample bias is not likely to have occurred due to core loss of fine/coarse material
as the underground fresh mineralised material which makes up the MRE is competent, with no relationship between grade
and competent/poor ground conditions observed. No relationship between sample recovery and grade tenor was
identified, nor observed.
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.

The level of detail is considered sufficient to support estimation of Mineral Resources, as well as mining and metallurgical
studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.

Review of available drill hole data in the database shows the level of detail in geological logging varies from year to year –
from capture of base lithology through to more comprehensive detail that includes lithology, structure, mineralogy,
alteration and weathering (oxidation state) for both RC samples and DD core.

Logging is both qualitative and quantitative. Visual percentage estimates for lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation,
structure (where possible in core only), weathering and features, were routinely recorded, with summary comments
provided.

Since the change of ownership to Develop, 10% of core photography for the W series holes (25% of MRE drill holes), 3%
for U series holes (42% of MRE drill holes) and 80% of Heron’s diamond holes (22% of MRE drill holes) has been located.

Recovered core photographs show drill core was photographed (wet and dry) before sampling, after mark-up.

Since 2022, all diamond core is routinely photographed.

DD core trays and RC chip trays are stored for future reference at Woodlawn; however, the percentage or quality of
retained core is not known.

The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.

The MRE is informed by 2 RC holes and 869 diamond holes for 16,189 m of drilling intersecting the mineralisation. Less
than 1% (5 DD holes) were not logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and
sample preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.

Observation of assay intervals indicates that selective sampling of mineralised DD core and adjacent footwall, hanging
wall and internal waste was done by Develop and previous owners of the mine.

Database records indicate that half and quarter diamond cores were used for analytical work. Half-core sampling was
observed during the Entech site visit in September 2023.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.

RC samples were generally collected as 1 m downhole intervals via a rig-mounted cyclone splitter into plastic bags.
A 2.5–3 kg sample is collected for analysis as either a composite or an individual sample. Samples are collected by a
spear method if the material is dry and as a grab sample if the material is wet (unsuitable for spear sampling).

RC samples were collected at 1 m intervals and composited to 2 m (historical) or 4 m (Heron) spear samples. Zones of
mineralisation were sampled or re-split at 1 m intervals.

For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.

Before 2000: Sample preparation and analyses by Jododex Australia Pty Ltd (Jododex), Australian Mining and Smelting
Pty Ltd (AMS) and Denehurst Limited (Denehurst) were conducted on site at the Woodlawn laboratory (NATA accredited
laboratory):
o
Samples were dried, crushed and ground to ~50 µm, with a quartz flush after every sample.
o
Mills were blown out with compressed air between each sample.
o
A sample for analysis was separated using a riffle splitter.

2000 to 2013: TriAusMin:
o
RC sample preparation and assaying procedures are unknown.
o
Sample preparation of DD core was done at ALS Orange.
o
Analysis of final pulps was done at ALS Brisbane.
o
Samples were crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 µm.

2014 to 2020: Heron:
o
Samples were dried, crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 µm, with 1:20 sample pulps checked for grind quality
by wet screening at 75 µm with a quartz flush after every sample.
o
1:20 flush samples were assayed.

2022 to current: Develop:
o
Samples were weighed, crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 µm, with the coarse residue retained in vacuum
sealed bags.
o
In addition to Develop’s QAQC methods (duplicates, standards and blanks), the laboratory has additional checks.
o
1:60 flush samples were assayed.
Sample preparation techniques are considered appropriate for the style of deposit and commodity under consideration and
reflect standard techniques available at the time.

Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.

No blind QAQC inserts were included for historical diamond drilling from 1969 to 1998.

TriAusMin included blanks and CRMs alternately at a frequency of 1:30 samples from 1999 to 2012. From 2013, blanks
were inserted at a frequency of 1:40 samples and CRMs were inserted at a frequency of 1:20 samples. No blind duplicates
were collected.

From 2014, Heron included blanks at a frequency of 1:30 samples, duplicates were taken from the riffle splitter at a
frequency of 1:30 samples, and CRMs were inserted at a frequency of 1:30 samples.

Develop inserted either a blank, duplicate or CRM at a frequency of 1:20 samples (4.9% assays). Blanks were inserted
at a frequency of 1:60 samples, core duplicates were taken at a frequency of 1:100 samples, and CRMs were inserted at
a frequency of 1:37 samples.

Multi-element analyses by acid digestion and determination by AAS, ICP, ICP-AES with the assumption that
digestion is a total dissolution.

Nature of quality control procedures

checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and
precision
have
been
established.

QAQC procedures:
o
Prior to 1998, there were no Company QAQC samples included in the sample submissions. The laboratory inserted
its own QAQC samples, but no data are available.
o
During 1999 to 2013, blanks and CRMs were included at a rate of about 1: 30 samples. No duplicate samples were
collected during this period.
o
The procedures implemented by Heron since 2014 meet current industry standards.
o
The gold CRMs generally perform very well. Some of the recent CRMs show a small positive or negative bias.
o
The number of gold CRMs submitted represents about 10% of the total samples assayed since 2000.
o
The base metal CRMs generally perform well, except for some of the recent CRMs that show a small positive or
negative bias. However, there are numerous cases of apparent sample swaps.
o
There appear to be more issues with the Pb analyses or laboratory calibrations as there are numerous Pb results
well below the expected values for some CRMs.
o
The number of base metal CRMs submitted represents about 10% of the total number of samples assayed since
2000.
o
The number of blanks submitted represents about 5% of the total number of samples assayed. Most blank assays
are below acceptable limits.
o
The field duplicate samples correlate reasonably well, with some spread in results as expected.
o
The correlation for laboratory checks is very good.

The correlation of umpire samples between the laboratories is generally very good for the major elements, with no obvious
bias evident. The correlation for gold, however, is not as good as the other elements, suggesting gold is more nuggety.

Entech completed a review of the QAQC data available for the Develop 2023 and 2024 drilling and is of the opinion that
the QAQC data are reasonable, and no material bias or errors were identified. The assay methods reflect current industry
practice. Key points and findings are summarised as follows:
o
No gold CRMs were submitted during the 2023 drilling. Base metal CRMs represent about 2.9% of the total number
of assays for the 2023 drilling.
o
Base metal CRMs generally perform well, except for some outlier values that require investigation. There is one case
of an apparent sample mislabel and one data entry error.
o
The number of blanks submitted represents about 1.6% of all samples assayed. Most blank assays are below
acceptable limits; however, there is evidence of contamination between some samples for various elements which

`

requires follow-up and re-assay.
o
The number of field duplicates submitted represents about 1% of all samples assayed. The field duplicate samples
correlate reasonably well, with some spread in results as expected.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying

The
verification
of
significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.

In 2022, significant intersections were not identified for independent verification. Original laboratory certificates have not
been located and assay data could not be independently verified. However, in Entech’s opinion, the extensive amount of
drilling metadata collected at the deposit over the mine life from initial discovery in 1969 through to 2024 by multiple
owners during several drilling campaigns and also historical mining of many lenses defined by the metadata, have
mitigated the risk of individual significant intersections or assay errors having a material impact on the MRE outcomes.

During the site visit, the Competent Person inspected drill core mineralised intercepts against received assay results for
23WNUD 047, 049, 058 and 062, and relogged B lens mineralisation within 23WNUD0011 from 286.2 m to 418 m
downhole. This was undertaken on drilling for the B, D, I and J lenses.

Entech checked approximately 5% of original laboratory certificates against assay data in the supplied database, for
Develop drilling completed in 2023 and 2024, and found no data entry errors.

The use of twinned holes.

No twinning of holes was done prior to this MRE, but there is consistent and strong correlation of width and grade of
downhole mineralisation intercepts against close-spaced grade control drilling data (15 m), face sampling and historically
mined widths and strike extents.

For drilling carried out by Develop:
o
Samples were placed in pre-numbered (Sample-ID) calico bags by site personnel.
o
Downhole sample intervals and corresponding (Sample-ID) and density measurements were recorded directly into
the geological database.
o
Individual calico bags were placed in white polyweave bags, which in turn were placed into bulka bags which were
sealed.
o
Manifest and laboratory analysis request form was generated and sent to ALS Orange laboratory.
o
Transportation of bulka bags to the laboratory was via an independent freight contractor.
o
At the laboratory, samples were sorted, checked against supplied manifest then loaded into the laboratory’s data
capture and tracking system, with each sample individually barcoded to facilitate tracking of samples through sample
preparation and analysis workflows.

down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.

The WMG was converted from imperial to metric in 1971.

TriAusMin (formerly Tri Origin Minerals) added 10,000 m to the northings of the WMG, with all historical data converted.
Heron used the WMG grid for drill collar locations.

Drill hole collar locations:
o
Historical drill collar surveys on all surface and underground holes were done using conventional total station
equipment.
o
For Develop’s drilling, holes were initially positioned using a handheld GPS and re-surveyed with a DGPS once the
hole was completed.

Downhole surveying and accuracy:
o
Historical downhole surveying was by single-shot camera at approximately 30 m intervals.
o
The 2014 drill holes by Heron were downhole surveyed by a multi-shot electronic camera and by a gyroscope survey
on completion.
o
From 2015 onwards, a north-seeking gyroscope was used with a gyroscope survey done on completion.

Magnetic minerals are largely absent in the Woodlawn sequence. Consequently, there is very little variance between
magnetic and the gyroscope readings.

Heron retrospectively applied an adjustment to all magnetic survey azimuths to reflect the change in magnetic pole
declination over the life of the mine. In 2019, the WMG bearings were converted, based on the Australian Geoscience
website as follows:
o
TN to Magnetic declination (updated each year on 1 January) – prior to 2020
o
TN to GDA94
o
TN to WMG.

There has been magnetic variation from the time of deposit discovery in 1969 (+11.39°) to 2016 (+12.385°).

The mine comprises substantial historical and recent (Heron) mine workings. The workings, as supplied to Entech, were 3D
digital wireframe volumes representing historical cut and fill workings predominantly in A, B, C and E lenses. Heron used
long hole open stoping (LHOS) and sublevel open stoping (SLOS) methodologies in other lenses and carried out surveys
using a cavity monitoring system (CMS). Development as-builts were picked up by Heron surveyors using total stations
and converted to 3D digital volumes (wireframes).

Develop personnel supplied an underground voids model of 3D digital wireframes representing underground development
since Develop’s mine acquisition in 2022 through to 25thJanuary 2024.

A LiDAR survey of the post-mining surface was flown in February 2023 by survey contractor SeamSurveys. Decline as-
builts were surveyed by Develop and the correlation with the LiDAR surface position of the box cut provided confidence
that the topographic surface is adequate for use in the MRE.

and

The resource definition drilling is variably spaced, nominally 20 m × 20 m centres in the upper and central area of the
deposit. Drill spacing widens from 40 m to 60 m intercept distances with increasing depth in down-plunge lens extensions.

The data spacing is considered to be sufficient to demonstrate the continuity of both the geology and the
mineralisation. The spacing is sufficient to define a Mineral Resource for the Woodlawn polymetallic deposit.

Most lengths range between 0.2 m and 1 m, with longer sample lengths limited to geometallurgical sampling.

For MRE purposes, a 1 m composite (base and other metals) was generated for resource estimation purposes.
Orientation of data

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.

Three mineralised Horizons (Lower, Middle and Upper) hosting thirteen known massive sulphide lenses occur within a
400 m × 600 m wide and 900 m deep northwest plunging corridor which remains open at depth. Major northwest trending
faults affect the distribution of the lenses, with several having been disrupted or offset by these faults.

The average orientation of the massive sulphide lenses is dip 60°towards 260°, plunging 110° to the northwest.

RC drilling from surface tested continuity of mineralisation of some lenses to a vertical depth of 145 m and intersected
mineralisation close to orthogonal to mineralisation.

Parent and child DD holes from surface intersect mineralisation close to orthogonal to mineralisation.

Underground DD holes were drilled from locations in the footwall and hanging wall, with some footwall hole orientations
at a low angle to mineralisation due to fan drill angles and spatial constraints associated with location of underground
drive sites.

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 orientation of mineralisation was delineated by correlation between downhole lithology and assay data, and between
historical underground as-builts stopes and development drives.

The predominant drilling orientation is c o n s i d e r e d suitable for mineralisation volume delineation at the
Woodlawn deposit, does not introduce bias nor pose a material risk to the MRE outcomes.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Sample security of historical data is not documented, with most samples having been prepared and assayed at onsite
laboratories (Woodlawn laboratories).

All Develop’s drill core and approximately half of the historical drill core is stored at the Woodlawn core farm. The core
farm is located on the tenement leases. The core is stored in warehouse racking systems under cover, or on pallets in
the areas next to the storage sheds.

For drilling carried out by Develop:
o
Samples were placed in pre-numbered calico bags that were barcoded.
o
Calico bags were placed in zip-tied polyweave bags.
o
Zip-tied polyweave bags were placed into bulka bags that were sealed and transported to ALS Orange laboratories
for sample preparation and analyses.
o
Barcoded samples were tracked through sample preparation and analyses.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

Sampling techniques used over the years are consistent with industry standards in use at the time.

Evidence of umpire checks or independent reviews is broadly documented in the Woodlawn Underground Mineral

Woodlawn Mine - New South Wales (BDA, December 2016) as follows:
o
Heron conducted annual audits of laboratory.
o
Prior to Heron and TriAusMin, no independent audit or umpire checks appear to have been completed, but historical

The following has been summarised from the 2020 Woodlawn Mine Compliance Audit Report prepared by NSW Regulators.

Tarago Operations Pty Ltd (Tarago Operations), a wholly owned subsidiary of Heron Resources Limited (Heron), has
held Special (Crown & Private Lands) Lease No. 20 [S(C&PL)L20] since March 2014. The lease was renewed on 21
January 2015 for a further 15 years and expires on 16 November 2029.

Lease area of [S(C&PL)L20] is 2,368 ha.

A Mining Operations Plan (MOP) is required for the mining operations in accordance with condition 3 of [S(C&PL)L20].

Tarago Operations prepared an MOP for the Woodlawn Mine (Heron Resources Ltd, Woodlawn Mine SML20 mine

In November 2000, Collex Pty Ltd obtained development consent to operate a waste bioreactor on the old Woodlawn
mine site using the open cut void. The waste facility was within S(C&PL)L20 and is now operated by Veolia Energy
Services Australia Pty Ltd.

Veolia and Tarago Operations (wholly owned subsidiary of Develop Global) have a current Co-operative agreement in

Acknowledgment and appraisal of

Information relating to activities prior to 2016 has been sourced from Updated Independent Technical Due Diligence
Review Heron Resources Ltd - Woodlawn Mine - New South Wales (BDA, December 2016).

The deposit was discovered by Jododex Australia Pty Ltd in 1969, and 25 drill holes defined an initial open pit mineable
resource totalling 6.3 Mt of polymetallic ore grading 14.4% Zn, 5.5% Pb and 1.7% Cu, and 3.7 Mt of copper mineralisation
grading 1.9% Cu.

Woodlawn operated as an open pit from 1978 to 1987 and from 1986 to 1998 as an underground operation.

CRA, operating as Australian Mining and Smelting (AMS), purchased the mine in 1984 and continued open pit mining
(underground mining commenced in 1986).

The mine was sold to Denehurst Limited in 1987 and underground mining continued until 1998.

From 1978 to 1998 approximately 13.8 Mt of ore was extracted from the open pit, underground and satellite deposits at
average grades of 9.1% Zn, 3.6% Pb, 1.6% Cu, 0.5 g/t Au and 74 g/t Ag.

A tailings retreatment mine commenced in 1992 with tailings processed from three contiguous tailings storage facilities
(TSFs) known as North, South and West dams. Retreated tailings was placed back in North Dam.

Following closure of the mine in 1998, Tri Origin Minerals acquired the mine.

Limited exploration occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but from 2007 to 2013, completion of a 17-hole DD
campaign led to the discoveryof Kate(K)and I lenses.

o
2023: 119 diamond drill holes for 47,301 m.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The Woodlawn deposit is described in historical documents as a stratiform syngenetic polymetallic volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) deposit.

The Woodlawn deposit lies on the eastern limb of the asymmetric north-northwest plunging Woodlawn Syncline.

Base metal (zinc, lead, copper) and precious (silver, gold) mineralisation is hosted within regionally metamorphosed
(greenschist facies) fine- to coarse-grained felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks, volcanogenic sedimentary rocks and
minor carbonaceous shale, known as the Woodlawn Volcanics.

Threemineralised horizons (Lower, Middle and Upper) hostingthirteenknown massive sulphide lenses occur within a
400 m × 600 m wide and 950 m deep northwest plunging corridor which remains open at depth.

Major northwest trending faults have an impact on the distribution of the lenses, with several having been disrupted or
offset by these faults.

Two major mineralisation types were historically recognised:
o
Polymetallic mineralisation:fine- to medium grained, banded to massive pyrite–sphalerite–galena–chalcopyrite,
with the gangue mineralogy including talc, quartz, chlorite, phlogopite, muscovite and barite
o
Copper-rich mineralisation:includes pyrite–chalcopyrite, lesser pyrrhotite as well as chlorite, quartz and calcite as
massive sulphide and stockwork veins.

Base metal mineralisation is principally associated with the polymetallic assemblage in the massive sulphide lenses. The
ore is typically massive pyrite and has splays and thickened zones that may be associated with faulting. Grades in the
massive ore may reach >20% Zn with copper and lead grades of several percent.

Copper-rich assemblages are concentrated along the footwall in the massive sulphides or as stockwork veins proximal
to the footwall or hanging wall of the massive sulphides within felsic and metasediments.

Precious metal (Ag, Au) mineralisation occurs mostly in association with the sulphide mineralisation, occurring in both
massive and stockwork systems.

SECTION 3 ESTIMATION AND REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCES

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Database integrity
Measures taken to ensure that data
has not been corrupted by, for
example, transcription or keying
errors, between its initial collection
and its use for Mineral Resource
estimation purposes.

The database was audited by Entech for validation errors and physical comparison of drill hole core photography against
geological and assay data undertaken for 1,231 holes underpinning the Mineral Resource.

The 2024 MRE update includes 42 new diamond drill holes, intercepting B, D, H, J and K lenses, that were provided to
Entech in .csv format. The .csv files were exported by Develop from drill hole database software, MX Deposit (by
Seequent). These .csv files were imported into the MS Access database created by Entech in 2023, and appended to
the collar, survey, lithology and assay tables. Core photography was provided for 29 holes. Core photography was not
provided for holes that did not intersect mineralisation.

Develop’s database to 25 January 2024 comprised 1,647 Collar records, 32,955 Survey records, 43,394 Assay records
and 36,062 Lithology records. The compiled database used for resource estimation comprised 1,231 Collar records,
33,224 Surveyrecords, 38,771 Assayrecords and 34,985 Lithologyrecords.

Data validation procedures used.

Entech completed various validation checks using built-in validation tools in GEOVIA Surpac™ and data queries in MS
Access such as overlapping samples, duplicate entries, missing data, sample length exceeding hole length, unusual
assay values and a review of below detection limit samples. A visual examination of the data was also completed to
check for erroneous downhole surveys.

The data validation process identified no major drill hole data issues that would materially affect the MRE outcomes.

Entech’s database checks included the following:
o
Checking for duplicate drill hole names and duplicate coordinates in the collar table.
o
Checking for missing drill holes in the collar, survey, assay and geology tables based on drill hole names.
o
Checking for survey inconsistencies including dips and azimuths <0˚, dips >90˚, azimuths >360˚ and negative depth
values.
o
Checking for inconsistencies in the ‘From’ and ‘To’ fields of the assay and geology tables. The inconsistency checks
included the identification of negative values, overlapping intervals, duplicate intervals, gaps and intervals where the
‘From’ value is greater than the ‘To’ value.

underground exposures (K and G lenses) and observed drilling, logging, sampling, QAQC and metadata collection
operations.

Refer to previous statement.
Geological
interpretation

Confidence in (or conversely, the
uncertainty
of)
the
geological
interpretation
of
the
mineral
deposit.

Lithology and structure are considered the predominant controls on both the base metals (zinc, lead, copper), precious
metal (silver, gold) and gangue (iron) mineralisation at the Woodlawn deposit.

All new drilling was in fresh material so the base of complete oxidation (BOCO) and base of partial oxidation (BOPO)
surfaces previously modelled by Entech from downhole logging data remain unchanged.

Mineralisation domains were interpreted primarily on geological logging and downhole geological contacts, based on
lithology, sulphide distribution, grade distribution, major faults and geometry. This combination provided a mineralisation
characterisation which effectively domained mineralisation style and sub-domained higher tenor zinc and copper
mineralisation.

Confidence in the mineralisation continuity was based on geological, mineralogical and assay data that were cross-

`

referenced with available core photography and historical mine development and stopes wireframes. Two major mineralisation
types previously identified by Heron are recognised:
o
Polymetallic mineralisation: fine- to medium-grained, banded to massive pyrite–sphalerite–galena–chalcopyrite, with
the gangue mineralogy including talc, quartz, chlorite, phlogopite, muscovite and barite
o
Copper-rich mineralisation: includes pyrite–chalcopyrite, lesser pyrrhotite as well as chlorite, quartz and calcite as
massive sulphide and stockwork veins.

A total of 250,118 m of drilling from 1,192 diamond and diamond tails, and 39 RC drill holes were available for the MRE.
This includes 42 new diamond drill holes completed by Develop since the 2023 MRE.
Interpretation of the two mineralisation types was initially undertaken in Seequent Leapfrog GEO™ software using all available
drill holes. Intercepts correlating to massive sulphide and copper-rich mineralisation and underpinned by strike continuity
implied from lithology wireframes were independently identified and manually selected within Seequent Leapfrog GEO ™ prior
to creation of an implicit vein model.
Two sulphide mineralisation domains based on sulphide content were defined: a massive sulphide mineralisation domain for
polymetallic and copper-rich mineralisation, and a stringer mineralisation domain for copper in the footwall associated with
disseminated and stringer sulphide mineralisation.
Massive sulphide mineralisation

Confidence is considered moderate to high in the geological interpretation and continuity of mineralisation domains within
the massive sulphides.

Geological contacts with unmineralised footwall and hanging wall metasediments and felsics were the primary boundaries
used for defining massive sulphide lode domain volumes.

Within the massive sulphide lode domains, correlation and statistical analysis and visual review of the mineralisation
tenor, orientation and continuity underpinned base metal (zinc, lead, copper), precious metal (silver, gold) and gangue
(iron) sub-domain approaches. Statistical distributions highlighted a bimodal distribution for both copper and zinc in the
Middle and Upper massive sulphide lenses. Copper and zinc in these horizons have a distinctive geospatial relationship,
with zinc primarily on the northern flank and copper on the southern flank. This distinction is less evident in the Upper
horizon, which may be due to a combination of sparser drill hole coverage, differing controls on mineralisation and lode
geometry.

Based on these conclusions, Indicator numerical modelling was used (in massive domains) to capture spatially
continuous sub-domains of zinc (including lead) and copper. These sub-domains were exclusive of each other and used
as hard boundaries in the massive sulphide geological envelopes, whereby zinc and lead were composited and estimated
within the zinc sub-domain, and copper was composited and estimated within the copper sub-domain.

Correlation analysis indicated gold, silver and iron were similarly distributed across massive sulphide domains and were
therefore composited and estimated inside this boundary, with no sub-domaining undertaken.

To maintain continuity, some material below 0.6% Zn and 0.6% Cu has been included in the lodes.

Historical underground mining documentation, stope and development void locations, preferential orientations, and
widths were also used to ground-truth interpretations of higher grade/tenor zinc and copper sub-domains and verify the
selected hard boundaries which would control estimated metal outcomes.

Weathering and oxidation horizons have had negligible impact on base and precious metals, with all mineralised domains
lying within fresh material.
Copper stringer mineralisation

In addition to copper in massive sulphide domains, copper occurs as footwall and hanging wall disseminated and stringer
sulphide mineralisation.

Confidence is considered moderate to high in the geological interpretation and continuity of the copper stringer
mineralisation and that any alternate interpretations would be unlikely to result in significant difference to lodes spatially
and/or volumetrically.

Copper-rich domains within the disseminated and stringer sulphides showed poor continuity due to the nature and
geological setting for this style of sulphide mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Sampling of core was based primarily on the presence and/or abundance of sulphides, with sampling of massive
sulphides prioritised over sampling of disseminated or stringer sulphide mineralisation. Consequently, sample coverage
of stringer mineralisation is more variable and wider spaced.

Nature of the data used and of any
assumptions made.

Assumptions with respect to mineralisation continuity (plunge, strike and dip) within the underground Mineral Resource
were drawn directly from:
o
Drill hole lithological logging
o
Drill hole core photography for all Develop drilling and (where available) for historical drilling
o
Mapped and interpreted northwest trending major faults
o
Variably spaced resource definition drilling, nominally 20 m × 20 m centres in the upper and central area of the
deposit, with the down-plunge lens extensions nominally 40 m × 40m and 60 m × 60 m intersecting mineralisation
at depth
o
Underground void shapes of development and stopes
o
Underground production drilling (sludge and face sampling) - used to assist with modelling of mineralisation
geometries but not used for MRE purposes
o
Historical resource and mining documentation/records/files.

The effect, if any, of alternative
interpretations
on
Mineral
Resource estimation.

Alternative interpretations and additional drill hole information would be condidered unlikely to result in significant spatial
or volume variations. This conclusion was based on extensive geological data from historical mining (mapping, logging),
observations from site inspections, style of deposit and extensive historical mining of the lenses/plunge orientations which
demonstrated similar lode geometries, widths and dip/plunge continuity across the deposit.

The use of geology in guiding and
controlling
Mineral
Resource
estimation.

The geological sequence, sulphide mineralisation styles and major structural faults defined the geospatial framework for
interpretation of mineralisation domains, which were used to control interpolation of grades.

The factors affecting continuity
both of grade and geology.

Continuity of the base metal lenses is affected, at a mining scale, by localised fault offsets which also may truncate lens
extents (across dip).

and parameters used.

Domain intercepts were flagged and implicitly modelled in Seequent Leapfrog GEO™ software.

Interpretation was a collaborative process with Develop geologists to ensure Entech’s modelling approach aligned
with mine restart objectives, represented observations and understanding of geological and mineralisation controls.

Domain interpretations used all available drill hole data with sludge and wall chip samples excluded from downhole
compositing. All interpreted intervals were snapped to diamond sample intervals prior to construction of implicitly
modelled 3D lode solids.

All drill hole samples and block model blocks were coded for lens and oxidation domain.

Compositing approaches were selected to honour the mineralisation style, geometry, expected grade variability and
potential mining selectivity.

Drilling samples were composited to 1 m lengths honouring lode domain boundaries. The Seequent Leapfrog length
composite (best fit) was used, whereby any small uncomposited intervals (residuals) were divided evenly between
the composites.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Composites were declustered and reviewed for statistical outliers and top-caps were applied by domain and variable.
Top-caps were applied where outliers were determined to be statistical and spatial in nature.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), variogram modelling and estimation validation was completed in GeoAccess,
Supervisor V8.8 and Isatis™.

Linear estimation techniques were considered suitable due to the style of deposit and density of available data.

Variography analyses for zinc, copper, lead, gold, silver and iron were completed on declustered and capped
downhole composites grouped by mineralisation style (massive, stringer) and horizon (Lower, Middle, Upper).
Robust variogram models with a low to moderate nugget for zinc and lead (6–18%), copper (10%), gold and silver
(6–22%) were delineated and used in Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA) to determine parent cell estimation
size and optimise search neighbourhoods. Variogram and search parameters for zinc were applied to lead due to
statistical and spatial similarities. It should be noted that although the maximum continuity modelled in the variograms
ranged from 30 m to 150 m, the bulk of spatial variability (~55%) and subsequent kriging weights was applied within
30–50 m in the Lower and Middle horizons and 10–30 m in the Upper horizon.

Maximum ranges of continuity were:
o
Zinc and lead. Lower 150 m, Middle 60 m, Upper 20 m
o
Copper. Lower 60 m, Middle 130 m, Upper 30 m
o
Gold and silver. Lower 165 m, Middle 135–150 m, Upper 120 m.

Search neighbourhoods broadly reflected the direction of maximum continuity within the plane of mineralisation,
ranges, and anisotropy ratios from the variogram models. Neighbourhood parameters were optimised through
Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA) and validation of interpolation outcomes.

All estimation was completed within respective mineralisation domains:
o
Silver ppm, gold ppm and iron percent. Sulphide domains (massive and stringer).
o
Zinc percent and lead percent. Zinc subdomain inside massive sulphide domain.
o
Copper percent. Copper subdomain inside massive sulphide domain and also in stringer domains.

No other hard boundaries were applied (i.e., weathering profile).

Maximum distance of extrapolation from data points was approximately half the drill hole data spacing. With this
approach, the maximum distance blocks estimated from known data points was ~60 m.

The availability of check estimates,
previous estimates and/or mine
production records and whether the
Mineral Resource estimate takes
appropriate account of such data.

A check estimate was undertaken for zinc, copper and gold on a selection of domains using Inverse Distance
Squared (IDW) with < 3% grade variance for zinc, copper and an average of 8% increase in gold grade for the IDW
outcome.

The most recent Mineral Resource documentation (Entech, 2023) stated a global underground Mineral Resource
prepared under the guidelines of the JORC Code, which includes a high-grade underground Mineral Resource of
10.3 Mt at A$386/t (Net Smelter Return), grading at 6.1% Zn%, 2.2% Pb, 1.8% Cu, 0.5 ppm Au and 47.2 ppm Ag.

By comparison, approaches to domaining, classification, RPEEE (sterilisation and NSR) undertaken by Entech for
this MRE are similar to the approaches for Entech (2022 and 2023), with new drilling, capital development and mine
planning studies considered for this MRE update.

The MRE accounts for historical mined voids, material sterilised by historical mining and operational challenges
experienced by Heron prior to closure in 2020.

The assumptions made regarding
recovery of by-products.

No assumptions were made with respect to by-product recovery.

characterisation).

Both iron and sulphur require monitoring for mine planning and metallurgical amenability purposes and were included in
the MRE block model.

Iron was composited, estimated and validated using the same process as for value elements of gold and silver.

Sulphur was selectively assayed and there were insufficient sulphur data to support estimation. Approximately 23% of
samples (3,172 samples from 13,713 samples) within the mineralised domains have a S% value together with analysis
for Zn%, Pb%, Cu% and Fe%. Multi-element regression analysis was undertaken on raw samples with existing sulphur

determinations to establish a regression relationship that could be applied to the block model to assign an ‘indicative’
S% value on a block-by-block basis. Entech derived a multi-element regression equations for sulphur, resulting in a 94%
correlation for the lower horizon and 97% for both the middle and upper horizons. The formulas use coefficients for zinc,
lead, copper and iron:
Lower Horizon Sulphur % = -3.7066 + Zn % x 0.5680 + Pb % x 0.5121 + Cu % x -0.0740 + Fe % x 1.1026
Middle Horizon Sulphur % = -4.2010 + Zn % x 0.6022 + Pb % x 0.1311 + Cu % x -0.1056 + Fe % x 1.2788
Upper Horizon Sulphur % = -1.6336 + Zn % x 0.3783 + Pb % x 0.3130 + Cu % x -0.3197 + Fe % x 1.2238

The regression formula was applied in the block model on a block-by-block basis, using the estimated zinc, lead, copper
and iron values for the individual blocks.

No assumptions were made within the MRE with respect to other deleterious variables or by-products.

In the case of block model
interpolation, the block size in
relation to the average sample
spacing and the search employed.

Block sizes used were 5 mE × 10 mN and 10 mRL with sub-blocks of 0.625 mE × 0.3125 mN and 0.3125 mRL. The
parent block size was selected to provide suitable volume fill given the available data spacing and mining selectivity. The
drilling data spacing varies from nominal 20 m × 20 m spacing in the central area of the deposit and increases to
exploration spacing of ~100 m to test continuity of mineralisation at depth. Block model origins were selected to correlate
with the Heron 2019 block model.

A two-pass estimation strategy was used, whereby search ranges reflected variogram maximum modelled continuity and
a minimum of 6, maximum of 12 composites for zinc, lead and copper, and a minimum of 6, maximum of 16 for gold and
silver. The second search reduced the minimum composite required in the neighbourhood to 2 or 4 (informed by KNA
outcomes), all other parameters (e.g., range and maximum composites) remained the same. All blocks which did not
meet the criteria to trigger an estimate remained unestimated and were excluded from classification.

Any assumptions behind modelling
of selective mining units.

No selective mining units were assumed for this MRE update.

Any assumptions about correlation
between variables.

Correlation analyses was completed for the Lower, Middle and Upper massive sulphide domains which contributed to
the grouping of elements for compositing and estimation within these domains.

There was insufficient sample population for estimation of sulphur; however, there is a strong positive correlation between
iron and sulphur. A sulphur regression was calculated in the final block model using estimated grades for zinc, lead,
copper and iron grades as inputs based on strong positive correlation.

Grouping of elements for compositing and estimation was based on the following positive correlations:
o
Zinc + lead
o
Gold + silver + iron
o
Copper.

Description of how the geological
interpretation was used to control
the resource estimates.

All estimation was completed within either a geologically defined massive sulphide domain (silver, gold, iron) or within
higher tenor zinc or copper sub-domains inside the massive domains. Hard boundaries for estimation were:
o
Silver ppm, gold ppm and iron percent: Massive sulphide domain
o
Zinc percent and lead percent: Zinc subdomain inside massive sulphide domain
o
Copper percent:
o
Copper subdomain inside massive sulphide domain
o
Stringer domain to footwall of massive domain.

Note that 47 massive and 27 stringer domains were interpreted across the deposit. The updated and new domains were
grouped as per historical nomenclature into lenses A, B, C, D, E, G, H, I, J, K and L.

For the purposes of Exploratory Data Analysis, including variography and kriging neighbourhood analysis for the elements
of zinc, lead, copper, silver, gold and iron, these domains were also grouped by their mineralisation style (massive or
stringer) or by horizon and reflected findings of geospatial, statistical and correlation analysis:

`

38

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
o
Lower: A, B, C, J
o
Middle: D, E, K
o
Upper: G, H, I, L

Geological interpretation of lithology, weathering and structure was not used to control the Mineral Resource estimation
as the domains outlined above represent the key controls on mineralisation at the deposit. Note that interpretations of
lens strike extents included consideration of interpreted structural offsets.

Discussion of basis for using or not
using grade cutting or capping.

Assessment and application of top-capping was undertaken on the zinc, lead, copper, gold and silver variables within
individual (and grouped) domains. Domains were capped to address instances where outliers were defined as both
statistical and spatial outliers, presented below:

Massive domains:
o
Zinc, no caps applied across Lower, Middle, Upper horizons
o
Lead, no caps applied across Lower, Middle, Upper horizons
o
Copper, cap of 15% applied across Lower, Middle, Upper horizons: <2% metal reduction

All stringer domains – zinc 15%, lead 10% and copper 15%:
o
Zinc, caps applied across Lower, Middle, Upper horizons: <1% metal reduction
o
Lead, caps applied across Lower, Middle, Upper horizons: <1% metal reduction
o
Copper, caps applied in Lower Horizon: <1% metal reduction

Individual domains – gold ranging from 4 g/t to 15 g/t:
o
Caps applied in Lower Horizon: 2% metal reduction
o
Caps applied in Middle Horizon: <1% metal reduction
o
Caps applied in Upper Horizon: 4% metal reduction

Individual domains – silver ranging from 100 g/t to 1000 g/t:
o
Caps applied in Lower Horizon: <1% metal reduction
o
Caps applied in Middle Horizon: <1% metal reduction
o
Caps applied in Upper Horizon: 11% metal reduction.

The process of validation, the

used,
the
comparison of model data to drill
hole data, and use of reconciliation
data if available.

Global and local validation of the zinc, lead, copper, gold, silver and iron estimated outcomes was undertaken with
statistical analysis, swath plots and visual comparison (cross and long sections) against input data. Global comparison
of declustered and capped composite mean against estimated mean (by domain and variable) highlighted less than 2.5%
variation for zinc, lead, copper. Silver estimated outcome was 4% lower than the global composite mean. Gold estimated
outcome was 8% lower than the global composite mean.

Develop has not commenced production and thus the only reconciliation data are from Heron’s mining of the G lode (in
the months prior to closure) which were not considered suitable for comparison as both mining and milling data during
the months prior to closure were compromised by operational challenges.

Cut-off parameters

The MRE is reported exclusive of mineralisation which has been mined and also mineralisation which was considered
sterilised by adjacent mining.

The NSR cut-off of A$100/t is approximately 80% of the break-even stoping cut-off value underpinning the current
Develop Life of Mine Plan (LOMP). The NSR was selected based on discussions with Develop’s engineers and
benchmarked against analogous peer operations (comparable by deposit style, commodities and mine maturity).

The NSR cut-off considers revenue from base metals (zinc, lead, copper - percent) and precious metals (gold, silver -
ppm) and offsets site operating and sustaining capital costs, including underground operating development. Metallurgical
recoveries are factored in the NSR calculation with ‘Cu Ore’ defined as material where zinc < 1%. The base metal and
precious metals used in the NSR calculation all have reasonable potential of being saleable.

Metallurgical recovery factors have been applied within the NSR. Historical metallurgical recovery factors were based on
initial metallurgical testwork during the 2016 feasibility study, a metallurgical review by Mineralis (Ref: Review of
Woodlawn Metallurgical Operations, Mineralis Consultants, April 2020) and later flow process studies conducted by
Heron in 2021 (Ref: Proposed flotation circuit flowsheet and pumping upgrades; high level design and cost estimation,
internal company report, June 2021)

Previous (2022) metallurgical testwork was based on crushing and grinding underground mineralisation from Kate lens
to produce float concentrates for copper, lead and zinc in order to assess recoveries of saleable concentrates for each
metal type. Mineralis observed that zinc performance was the most consistent of the three metals (copper, lead, zinc)
with the lowest outcomes being 50% zinc concentrate at 70% recovery.

Develop has completed additional metallurgical testwork on drill core from the current drilling program; this work is
ongoing and schedule to be completed in mid-2024. Estimated metallurgical recoveries are factored into NSR
calculations.

Both iron and sulphur require monitoring for mine planning and metallurgical amenability purposes. Both variables were
included in the final Mineral Resource block model. There are no known deleterious variables which would materially
affect eventual economic extraction of Mineral Resources.

falling within massive and stringer mineralisation.

The density samples were located between 18950 mN and 19880 mN, and 8790 mE and 9860 mE, and nominally from
the surface to a depth of 1800 m, providing a representative density profile between mineralised domains, and depth

Multi-element regression analysis using Zn%, Pb%, Cu% and Fe% was undertaken on raw samples with existing density
determinations to establish a regression relationship that could be applied to the block model to assign a density value
on a block-by-block basis.

Each horizon comprised variable mineral relationships and slightly different regression outcomes, therefore a muti-variate
regression was determined and applied by mineralisation Horizon (Lower, Middle, Upper). A 94% correlation between
the original density value and predicted value was noted prior to utilisation of the following formulas within the MRE.

Classification
The basis for the classification of
the Mineral Resources into varying
confidence categories.

The Woodlawn underground zinc-copper deposit contains Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.

Mineral Resources were classified based on geological and grade continuity confidence drawn directly from:
o
Drill hole methodology, data quality, spacing and orientation
o
Geological domaining
o
Estimation quality parameters
o
Historical mining strike lengths, widths, stope orientations and remnant mining areas.

Measured Mineral Resources were defined where a high level of geological confidence in geometry, continuity, and grade
was demonstrated, and were identified as areas where:
o
Blocks were well supported by drill hole data, with drilling averaging a nominal 15 × 15 m or less between drill holes
o
Lenses for G and Kate (K) (Measured) were intercepted on two sublevels and blocks are within 20–40 m from a lens
development drive
o
Estimation quality, slope of regression above 0.8.

Indicated Mineral Resources were defined where a moderate level of geological confidence in geometry, continuity, and
grade was demonstrated, and were identified as areas where:
o
Blocks were well supported by drill hole data, with drilling averaging a nominal 40 × 40 m or less between drill holes
o
Blocks were interpolated with a neighbourhood informed by a minimum of 6 samples.

Inferred Mineral Resources were defined where a lower level of geological confidence in geometry, continuity and grade
was demonstrated, and were identified as areas where:
o
Drill spacing was averaging a nominal 60 m or less, or where drilling was within 80 m of the block estimate
o
Blocks were interpolated with a neighbourhood informed by a minimum of 2 samples.

The MRE is globally representative of zinc, lead, copper, gold and silver Mineral Resources; however, there is uncertainty
relating to local representation of volume and grade in Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources due to the localised fault
structures which terminate and/or offset mineralisation.

Local variances to the tonnage, grade, and metal distribution are expected with further definition drilling. It is the opinion
of the Competent Person that these variances will not significantly affect economic extraction of the deposit.

The MRE is considered fit for the purpose for mine restart objectives that include both strategic and operational mine

Section 4 Estimation and Reporting of ore reserves

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral Resource
estimate for conversion
to Ore Reserves

Description
of
the
Mineral
Resource estimate used as a
basis for the conversion to an Ore
Reserve.

The Ore Reserve is based on Mineral Resource estimates by Entech as contained in this announcement.

Clear statement as to whether the
Mineral Resources are reported
additional to, or inclusive of, the
Ore Reserves.

Mineral Resources are inclusive of Reserves.
Site visits
Comment
on
any
site
visits
undertaken by the Competent
Person and the outcome of those
visits.

The Competent Person (Tristan Sommerford, Group Principal Mining Engineer) is a full time employee of Develop Global
and has visited site numerous times being during the Reserve process and is comfortable with the viability of the Ore
Reserve.

If no site visits have been
undertaken indicate why this is the
case.
Study status
The type and level of study
undertaken to enable Mineral
Resources to be converted to Ore
Reserves.

Feasibility level estimation of upfront capital costs, all other costs, modifying factors and parameters are completed to
Feasibility level, resulting in a mine plan that is technically achievable and economic using the determined Ore Reserve.

The Code requires that a study to
at least Pre-Feasibility Study level
has been undertaken to convert
Mineral
Resources
to
Ore
Reserves. Such studies will have
been carried out and will have
determined a mine plan that is
technically
achievable
and
economically viable, and that
material Modifying Factors have
been considered.

Ore Reserves are declared based upon a Study that included mine plans and mine designs that are deemed technically
achievable and have been tested for economic viability using input costs, metallurgical recovery and expected long term
metal prices, after due allowances for royalties.
Cut-off parameters
The basis of the cut-off grade(s) or
quality parameters applied.

Calculated value is based on a Net Smelter Return (NSR) to take account of the revenue from the copper, lead, zinc,
gold and silver metals allowing for metallurgical recoveries and payabilities for each and then offsets for royalties,
shipping and smelter deductions (penalty elements). A stoping cut-off value of $120/t ore and a development ore cut-off
value of $60/t ore has been applied based on the NSR inputs and relevant cost estimates provided by Develop Global
Ltd.

Mining factors or
assumptions

The method and assumptions
used as reported in the Pre-
Feasibility or Feasibility Study to
convert the Mineral Resource to
an Ore Reserve (i.e. either by
application of appropriate factors
by optimisation or by preliminary or
detailed design).

Optimisations have been completed by Develop Global to generate a detailed mine design and schedule. The mining
method selected is longhole stoping with backfill using paste fill. Stope access and extraction is a combination of
longitudinal and transverse orientation. Stoping is primarily top-down but some instances of bottom-up sequencing exist.

The
choice,
nature
and
appropriateness of the selected
mining method(s) and other mining
parameters including associated
design issues such as pre-strip,
access, etc.

Geotechnical analysis by Beck Engineering has been used from previous Feasibility Studies to confirm the mining
method and determine appropriate stope sizes, sequences and ground support requirements for incorporation into the
mine design and schedule.

The assumptions made regarding
geotechnical parameters (eg pit
slopes, stope sizes, etc), grade
control and pre-production drilling.

Geotechnical parameters were taken from 2016 Feasibility study conducted by Beck Engineering. The underground
designs conform to these recommendations.

The major assumptions made and
Mineral Resource model used for
pit and stope optimisation (if
appropriate).

The Mineral Resource model used for optimisation was as detailed previously.

The mining dilution factors used.

Stope designs expand based on factors outlined in geotechnical studies and are controlled by the ground that the material
sits, generally 0.5 m into the hangingwall and 0.5 m into the footwall to account for blasting dilution and a 3% dilution
factor at zero grade has been applied for every stope wall adjacent to paste fill.

The mining recovery factors used.

A mining recovery factor of 95% was applied to all stoping activities and 100% to all ore drives.

Any minimum mining widths used.

A minimum mining with of 3.0 mW was applied.

The manner in which Inferred
Mineral Resources are utilised in
mining studies and the sensitivity
of the outcome to their inclusion.

Mine designs inclusive of Inferred resource material were removed from the plan and the Ore Reserve is technically and
economically viable without them.

The infrastructure requirements of
the selected mining methods.

Mobilisation, establishment and all site and mine infrastructure to support underground mining has been accounted for
in the study. The underground mine design includes suitable infrastructure to support the mining method including an
access decline, ventilation shaft, pump stations and electrical substations.
Metallurgical factors or
assumptions

The
metallurgical
process
proposed and the appropriateness
of that process to the style of
mineralisation.

Whether the metallurgical process
is well-tested technology or novel
in nature.

The
nature,
amount
and
representativeness
of

The process recovery is based on the plant installed by Heron Resources Limited.

Some changes have been designed including:

Installation of a tertiary crusher and increased crushed ore storage

treatment of process water to reduce effect on flotation separation

Simplication of flotation circuit flows in line with proven historical Denehurst operations

Historical metallurgical test work from prior Denehurst operations, Heron Feasbility studies and restart optimisation
work, as well as new testwork on Develop drilling campaigns aligns with flowsheet strategy Metallurgical
assumptions for this Ore Reserve are based on historical achievements as Woodlawn for the relevant copper or
polymetallic ore types.

Major Mine approval was received on 4 July 2013 from the NSW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure under Section
75J of the EP & A Act for both the tailings retreatment and underground mine

Tailings storage will be within an already approved and permitted facility. Storage of tailings will be reduced due to the
incorporation of a paste plant, which will place cemented tailings back underground in voids.
Infrastructure
The
existence
of
appropriate
infrastructure: availability of land
for plant development, power,
water, transportation (particularly
for bulk commodities), labour,
accommodation; or the ease with
which the infrastructure can be
provided, or accessed.

The operation uses the existing access road.

New site buildings including processing plant, offices and car park have been constructed and utilized previously by
Heron Resources Limited

Power is supplied from the grid which has sufficient capacity. The current substation on site also has sufficient spare
capacity to service the operation.

Water is be sourced from surface site and underground water plus the Willeroo borefield with potable water being
generated from reverse osmosis plant.
Costs

made, regarding mineed capital
costs in the study.

The methodology used to estimate
operating costs.

Allowances made for the content
of deleterious elements.

The derivation of assumptions
made of metal or commodity
price(s), for the principal minerals
and co- products.

Capital costs for the construction of the processing plant have been provided by GR Engineering Services.

The operating costs used for the economic assessment are based on the site’s 2024 Business Plan.

Capital expenditure requirements are based on the site’s 2024 Business Plan.
