MULTIPLE HIGH-PRIORITY DRILL TARGETS AT PEAK VIEW PROSPECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
IP survey defines four priority target zones, including a strong undrilled chargeability-resistivity anomaly open to the south
-
Untested western chargeability anomaly coincides with a 1.1km gravity high adjacent to the Peak View Thrust (Fig. 1)
-
Magnetic and gravity data highlight transverse structures interpreted to control mineralisation
-
Peak View Thrust interpreted as the southern continuation of the fertile Narongo Fault, which hosts the Captains Flat VMS deposit and >30 mineral occurrences along strike
-
Maiden drilling campaign to commence in coming weeks
Exultant Mining Limited ( ASX: 10X ) (“ Exultant ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to report results from recently completed induced polarisation (“IP”) and ground gravity surveys at the Peak View Prospect, located within the broader Peak View Project in New South Wales.
Both surveys were designed to test the 900m-long multi-element Cu–Pb–Zn–Ag–Au soil anomaly previously defined by the Company’s soil sampling program[1] . The dipole–dipole IP survey comprised four east–west oriented lines, each 1.6km in length and spaced 200m apart with 50m electrode spacing (Fig. 2). The ground gravity survey comprised 136 stations collected on a 100m x 100m grid.
The newly acquired IP and gravity datasets, together with reprocessed and inverted historic airborne magnetic-radiometric data, have materially improved the Company’s understanding of the structural architecture at Peak View and defined multiple high-priority drill targets.
Comment from Executive Chairman, Brett Grosvenor:
“These results represent a major step forward in advancing Peak View toward drilling in the coming weeks. The geophysical surveys have defined multiple compelling anomalies and, importantly, provide context for historical drilling results within a broader structural framework.
At a macro scale, this framework is highly comparable to that observed at major VMS deposits such as Woodlawn and Captains Flat, the latter of which lies along the same geological structure.
We are highly encouraged by the strong coincident chargeability and resistivity response, which defines a compelling drill target and underpins our confidence in a potential new discovery at Peak View.

PEAK VIEW PROSPECT - GEOPHYSICAL RESULTS
Induced Polarisation Results
The IP survey has defined four significant areas of interest at Peak View:
1. Western chargeability anomaly
A ~700m-long moderate chargeability (>10msec) anomaly with local coincident resistivity highs has been defined to the west of historical drilling (Fig. 3). This anomaly has never been drill tested and represents a newly recognised target zone not previously identified by earlier explorers. Importantly, high-grade mineralisation intersected in historical drilling is associated with a relatively weak chargeability response (around 8msec), while the stronger, western chargeable anomaly exceeds 12msec. The anomaly appears to strengthen to the north, where it remains open.
2. Coincident chargeability and resistvity high beneath main soil anomaly
A strong coincident chargeability high and resistivity high, with values up to 18msec and 4,900Ωm, respectively, has been identified beneath the widest part of the 900m-long multi-element soil anomaly. Significantly, this anomaly has never been tested by historical drilling and remains open to the south. PVI010 was drilled within 40m of the anomaly and returned 1.3m @ 3.4% Zn, 1.4% Pb, 21g/t Ag & 0.14% Cu from 106.1m[3] (Fig. 4).

3. Resistvity low anomaly down-dip of known massive sulphides
A previously untested resistivity low, interpreted as a conductive anomaly, has been identified down-dip of massive sulphides intersected in historical drilling (Fig. 5). This target provides an important down-dip follow-up opportunity relative to known high-grade mineralisation.
– 4. Chargeability anomaly on sediment granite contact
A discrete chargeability high has been identified on the contact between sediments and granite to the east. This target represents an additional, previously untested position within the broader Peak View mineralised system.

Ground Gravity Results
The ground gravity survey has defined a 1.1km-long gravity high anomaly that is spatially coincident with the western ~700m-long chargeability anomaly (Fig. 1 & 6) and its associated local resistivity highs. The coincidence of these responses materially upgrades this target corridor and suggests potential for sulphide accumulation and/or dense alteration within a structurally favourable setting.
The survey has also defined a ~1km-long gravity low anomaly that appears to coincide with the area targeted by much of the historical drilling. This contrast highlights that significant parts of the broader system, including the newly recognised gravity high corridor, remain effectively untested by earlier exploration.
TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
To provide further context for the IP and gravity results, the Company has reprocessed and inverted historic airborne magnetic-radiometric data acquired by Denehurst in 1994[2] . This work has materially improved structural interpretation across the prospect area and delineated several NW–SE trending transverse structures that intersect the Peak View Prospect. This structural architecture is comparable with that recognised at nearby VMS deposits such as Captains Flat and Woodlawn, where subtle cross-structures are interpreted to play an important role in localising mineralisation.
At Peak View, these transverse structures appear to be influencing both the geophysical and geochemical anomaly patterns (Fig. 6). Notably, the multi-element surface geochemical anomaly broadens markedly where one of these structures intersects the prospect, broadly coincident with a strong chargeability and resistivity high defined by the IP survey (Fig. 3 & 4). This southern anomaly is interpreted to lie within the footwall and may reflect an accumulation of disseminated sulphides within an envelope of silicic alteration, producing the combined chargeability-high and resistivity-high response. In a VMS setting, this type of response may be consistent with a footwall feeder zone, which is commonly associated with copper-rich sulphides, although the source of the anomaly remains untested and will require drilling to confirm.
In addition to the NW–SE transverse structures, a major NNW-striking mapped thrust fault, locally termed the Peak View Thrust, forms the contact between the Yalmy Group to the east and the Jerangle Metamorphic Complex to the west. This structure is interpreted to represent the southern continuation of the Narongo Fault, a major regional mineralising conduit that hosts the Captains Flat VMS deposit and more than 30 recorded mineral occurrences between Captains Flat and the Peak View Prospect (Fig. 7), highlighting the apparent fertility of this structural corridor.
Significantly, the 1.1km-long gravity high with coincident IP chargeability is located directly adjacent to the Peak View Thrust and is intersected by several transverse structures, defining a compelling untested structural target. The combined chargeability and density response may reflect either a dense accumulation of disseminated sulphides or disseminated sulphides developed within an iron-rich alteration system, although the anomaly remains untested. Importantly, the Company’s surface geochemical sampling did not extend sufficiently west to fully test the Peak View Thrust corridor.

A third key feature is the low resistivity anomaly identified directly down-dip of, and along the same prospective horizon as one of the best historical drill intercept at the prospect, PVI006 (4.4m @ 342.7g/t Ag, 4.0% Pb, 1.1% Cu, 0.74g/t Au and 0.84% Zn from 48.7m[3] ) (Fig. 5). This anomaly may indicate a thicker accumulation of more conductive sulphides along the same horizon that hosts massive sulphide mineralisation intersected in historical drilling. By contrast, the ~1km-long gravity low appears to coincide with a unit of coarse- to fine-grained rhyolite, suggesting lithological density contrast may explain at least part of that response. The combination of favourable structural architecture, strong surface geochemical anomalism and multiple untested geophysical anomalies materially upgrades the prospectivity of Peak View and supports priority drill testing.

Appendix A: Peak View JORC Code, 2012 Table
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| 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 taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (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. |
Geophysics • The geophysical program comprised an induced polarisation (IP) survey and a ground gravity survey completed over the Peak View Prospect. The IP survey was designed as a time-domain dipole-dipole survey with 50m receiver dipole length and 50m transmitter dipole length. • Survey parameters included up to n=16 levels, signal dependent, with a 2 second cycle (0.125 Hz). • The planned survey comprised four east-west oriented lines of approximately 1,550m each, spaced 200m apart, for total planned coverage of approximately 6.6 line km. • The gravity survey was designed on a nominal 100m x 100m station grid over the prospect area, for approximately 136 stations, with provision for additional 50m infill stations over areas of interest if required. Rock Chip Sampling • Rock Chips are broken from outcrop or float using a steel Estwing geological hammer, the entire sample (nominal 0.5kg) is pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay (Au-AA23) to analyse for Au and 0.25g is used for multi- element analysis (ME-MS61), where it uses a four acid digestion to dissolve nearly all minerals. It’s then measured using a mass spectrometer and optical emission spectrometer. • Sample locations are marked using handheld GPS • Samplingis conducted byCompany personnel |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intersection lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• Mineralisation geometry: Steeply east-dipping shear zones (typically 70- 80° dip). • Drill hole orientation: Generally, 60° toward grid west. • True width estimation: Most intersections are at moderate angle to mineralisation, true widths not known but estimated at 60-80% of down- hole length. • Reporting: Historic results reported as down-hole lengths. True width is not known. • The relationship between rock chip samples and mineralized widths is not known |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intersections should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views |
• Maps and sections are included in the body of this Report as deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• Historic reporting documents both high-grade intersections and lower grade zones. • Peak View intersection table lists all significant intersections. • High-grade intersections not followed up in historic programs, indicating potential remaining targets. • Significant drill intercepts and results are provided in Table 1 of this report. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• Geophysics: aero magnetics, IP surveys, ground gravity and radiometric. • Geochemistry: Extensive soil sampling programs, stream sediment surveys. • Bulk density: Not systematically measured in historic programs. • The local Silurian geology consists of an eastern horizon of acid crystal and lithic tuffs (chlorite-bearing in places) and a more complex variable western horizon with fine-grained acid tuffs, aphanitic lava flows, limestone, quartzites and cherts. |
