RECENT DRILLING RESULTS EXPECTED TO DRIVE FURTHER MINERAL RESOURCE GROWTH AT ERNEST HENRY AND MUNGARI

Key highlights

  • Underground growth potential – exploration drill holes from underground at Ernest Henry and Mungari (Kundana) have returned exciting assay results in close proximity to infrastructure and current mine plans

Ernest Henry

  • Significant assay results have been returned from Ernie Junior that extend mineralisation 300m north of the mine extension footprint. Mineralisation remains open in the north. Drilling highlights include:

  • 40.4m (33.0m etw[1] ) grading 0.64g/t gold and 1.14% copper from 434.0m (EH1356)

  • 38.0m (28.0m etw) grading 1.02g/t gold and 0.77% copper from 484.0m (EH1356)

  • 39.4m (25.0m etw) grading 0.76g/t gold and 1.19% copper from 439.6m (EH1339A)

  • These drill results confirm potential to provide additional metal from future planned production levels

Mungari

  • High-grade drill results have been received from down-dip and along strike of the Genesis orebody at Kundana. Mineralised intercepts include:

  • 0.26m (0.26m etw) grading 420g/t gold from 385.8m (XMRT23026)

  • 0.20m (0.18m etw) grading 373g/t gold from 336.7m (XMRT23028)

  • 0.22m (0.22m etw) grading 52g/t gold from 352.7m (XMDT23002)

  • The results reinforce potential to grow high-grade Mineral Resources at Kundana

Commenting on the new drilling results, Evolution’s Vice President Discovery, Glen Masterman said:

‘The drilling results released today underscore our belief in the potential for future Mineral Resource growth in areas adjacent to existing and planned infrastructure at Ernest Henry and Kundana.

At Ernest Henry, we have demonstrated mineralisation is continuous from the main orebody, through the Ernie Junior horizon, and now up to 300m north of the current FS study footprint. At Kundana, drilling confirms extensions of the Genesis vein along strike towards the previously mined Barkers ore body and at depth beyond boundaries of the existing Mineral Resource.’

Ernest Henry, Queensland (EVN 100%)

Assay results have been returned from recent underground diamond drilling at Ernie Junior. Mineralised intercepts of note include 39.4m (25.0m etw) grading 0.76g/t gold and 1.19% copper from EH1339A and 38.0m (28m etw) at 1.02g/t gold and 0.77% copper from EH1356. Encouragingly, these drill results confirm continuity of mineralisation outside of the current Feasibility Study (FS) footprint 300m to the north and at depth towards the 800mRL (Figure 1).

These results, along with previous holes testing Ernie Junior, are expected to drive Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve growth within and adjacent to the mine extension footprint. Infill drilling across the northern edge of Ernie Junior is underway with the aim of converting resources to expand reserves in areas adjacent to future, planned production levels. The latest drilling results will be incorporated in a mid-year (2024) Mineral Resource update that will inform the Feasibility Study and associated Ore Reserve update due for completion in the March 2025 quarter.

Mungari (Kundana), Western Australia (EVN 100%)

Exploration drilling at Kundana has returned significant high-grade intercepts from extensions to the recently discovered Genesis vein. Mineralised intercepts are associated with narrow (0.1 to 0.25 metres wide), subvertical laminated quartz veins similar in nature to the Xmas vein currently being mined in an adjacent footwall location to the Genesis lode.

Drilling at Genesis targeted the northern and down-dip extension to the main vein. Best intercepts from downdip include 0.26m (0.0.26m etw) grading 420g/t gold from XMRT23026 and 0.20m (0.18m etw) grading 373g/t gold from XMRT23028, which show the potential for continued growth of the Mineral Resource below

current production areas (

Figure 2 ).

To the north, drilling tested an area 300 strike metres (grid) north of Genesis, where historic drilling supporting a new geological interpretation indicated continuity of the geology towards the previously mined Barkers orebody. Best results were 0.22m (0.20m etw) grading 52g/t gold from XMDT23002 and 1.02m (1.02m etw) grading 11.2g/t gold from GEDT23003. Encouragingly, all drill holes encountered the Genesis structure at the expected interval, confirming the geological model. The structure was intersected as a laminated quartz vein, consistent with high-grade mineralisation from the current mining areas at Genesis.

Work is ongoing to update the geological model and understand high-grade continuity at Genesis.

sample was taken for analysis via fire assay at OSLS. After July
2023, ALS Perth completed fire assay on a 50g sub-sample. The
remaining pulverised sample is returned to site and stored for future
reference.

Sub-sampling is performed during the sample preparation stage in
line with ALS internal protocol.

Field duplicates are collected for all diamond core at a rate of one
in every 15 samples and for channel sample at a rate of one in every
10 samples.

Comparison of field duplicates is performed routinely to ensure a
representative sample is being obtained and that the sample size
captures an adequate sample volume to represent the grain size
and inherent mineralogical variabilitywithin the sampled material.
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
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 (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Samples are assayed at ALS Brisbane for a multi element suite
using ME-ICP41, Cu-OG46 & MEOG46 methods, which analyses
a 0.4g sample in aqua-regia digestion with an ICP-AES finish. Gold
analysis completed at OSLS Bendigo was done by fire assay on a
25g sample with an AA instrument finish. Gold analysis completed
at ALS Perth was done by fire assay on a 50g sample with an AA
instrument finish. Analytical methods are deemed appropriate for
this style of mineralisation.

Historic quality control procedures include the use of six certified
standards (CRMs) which cover the expected grade range of
mineralisation encountered within the deposit. In addition, field
duplicates are inserted at 1:25 ratio for all sample batches sent to
the ALS laboratory.

The quality assurance program includes repeat and check assays
from an independent third-party laboratory as deemed necessary.

There have been no blanks used on the diamond core historic data
set. Both ALS and OSLS laboratories provide their own quality
control data, which includes laboratory standards and duplicates.

EHO currently uses nine CRMs, pulverised and coarse blanks,
field, crush and pulp duplicates to monitor sample preparation and
analytical processes. The rate of insertion was 1:15 for CRMs, 1:15
for blanks within mineralised units and 1:30 in waste zones, Field
duplicates were inserted at 1:15 while crush and pulp duplicates
were at 1:25 samples.

  • Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Commentary

  • Analysis of quality control sample assays indicate the accuracy and precision is within acceptable limits and suitable for inclusion in the underground resource estimate.

  • All diamond drill holes are logged remotely on a laptop utilising AcQuire software and stored digitally in an AcQuire database on a network server.

  • ▪ Drill holes are visually logged for copper content prior to sampling and assay. This visual assessment is used to verify assay data.

  • ▪ The strong correlation between copper and gold enables additional quality control checks to be enacted on returned assays.

  • Procedures have been developed to ensure a repeatable process is in place for transferring, maintaining & storing all drilling, logging and sampling data on the network server, which has a live upload to a local device and daily back up to an offsite device.

downhole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
  • Following review of the historical dataset, no adjustments have been made to any assay data. All files are reported digitally from ALS laboratories in CSV format, which are then imported directly into the AcQuire database. Checks of the assay results in AcQuire and results returned from the laboratory are performed at the completion of each drilling & sampling campaign. Laboratory certificates for returned assays are stored for future reference and checks against values contained within the AcQuire database.

  • ▪ Twinned holes have not been completed. Given the low-grade variability and the good agreeance between drilling and underground observations, the Competent Person considers the lack of twinned holes immaterial to the confidence in subsequent Mineral Resource estimates.

  • ▪ Collar coordinates are picked up by EHO site surveyors using a Leica total station survey instrument. All underground excavations are monitored using the same instrument.

  • ▪ The topography was generated from a LIDAR survey completed over EHO mining leases in 2018 with outputs in GDA94 coordinate system.

and
metasedimentary rocks of the Mt Isa group. Copper occurs as
chalcopyrite within the magnetite-biotite-calcite-pyrite matrix of a

approximately 40 degrees to the South and is bounded on both the
footwall and hanging wall by shear zones. The main orebody starts
to split from the 1575 level into a South-East lens, and from the 1275
level into the South-West lens. Both lenses are separated from the
main orebody by waste zones, termed the Inter-lens and South-
West Shear Zone, respectively. The orebody is open at depth and
inplaces, opentoward theNorth.

Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or

minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, 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 representation

Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been completed 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, or unusual
commodities/mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Sampling was completed using diamond drill core (DD).

Diamond core was transferred to core trays for logging and
sampling. Half core or full core samples were nominated by the
geologist from HQ or NQ diamond core, with a minimum sample
width of 10cm and a maximum width of 100cm.

Samples were transported to various analysis laboratories in
Kalgoorlie for preparation by drying, crushing to <3mm, and
pulverizing the entire sample to <75μm.

300g Pulp splits were analysed by ALS Global Laboratories in
Kalgoorlie, Adelaide, and Perth for 40-50g Fire assay charge and
AAS analysis for gold.

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,

accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

A 40-50g fire assay charge is used with a lead flux, dissolved in the
furnace. The prill is totally digested in HCl and HNO3 acids before
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) determination for gold
analysis. This method ensures total gold is reported appropriately.

No geophysical tools were used to determine any element
concentrations

Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are inserted into the sample
sequence randomly at a rate of 1 per 20 composite samples to
ensure correct calibration. Any values outside of 3 standard
deviations are scrutinised and re-assayed with a new CRM if the
failure is deemed genuine.

Blanks are inserted into the sample sequence at a rate of 1 per 20
composite samples. Failures above 0.1g/t are scrutinised, and re-
assayed if required. New pulps are prepared if failures remain.

All sample QAQC results are assessed by geologists to ensure the
appropriate level of accuracy and precision when the results have
been returned from the laboratory.
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
and data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data

All significant intersections are verified by the project geologist and
senior geologist during the drill hole validation process.

Half core and sample pulps are retained at Mungari if further
verification is required.

The twinning of holes is not a common practice undertaken at
Mungari. The face sample and drill hole data with the mill
reconciliation data is of sufficient density to validate neighbouring
samples. Data which is inconsistent with the known geology
undergoes further verification to ensure its quality.

All sample and assay information is stored utilising the acQuire
database software system. Data undergoes QAQC validation prior
to being accepted and loaded into the database. Assay results are
merged when received electronically from the laboratory. The
geologist reviews the database checking for the correct merging of
results and that all data has been received and entered. Any
adjustments to this data are recorded permanently in the database.
Historical paper records (where available) are retained at the
technical mining offices.
