FIRST DRILL HOLE INTERSECTS BROAD SULPHIDE BEARING BIF AT CABIN LAKE GOLD PROJECT

ASX Release

ASX: FIN

FIN Resources Limited (ASX: FIN) (“FIN” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that the first drill hole of its maiden drilling program at the Cabin Lake Gold Project in the Northwest Territories, Canada has been successfully completed, intersecting a broad 38m zone of sulphide mineralisation within the targeted iron formation. Drilling operations are continuing, with the rig now mobilising to the second hole (CL-26-002) as part of the planned program.

Highlights

  • First drill hole (CL-26-001) completed to a depth of approximately 56 metres of the planned 1,500m program

  • Hole designed as a confirmatory hole to historical drillhole CL-20-08 and successfully intersected the targeted iron formation sequence and associated sulphide mineralisation

  • Broad 38.37m (14.55m - 52.92m) zone of sulphide mineralisation logged within CL-26-001, confirming sulphide mineralisation within banded iron formation (BIF)

  • Assays for this hole are being fast-tracked and are expected in 4-6 weeks

  • Downhole geophysical survey (DHIP) completed on the first hole

  • Ground magnetic survey commenced

  • Drill rig mobilising to second hole (CL-26-002)

  • Following holes focused on drilling from the lake surface, which can only be drilled under current winter conditions, designed to test true widths and structural controls

  • 1 Cautionary Note: The Company cautions that the visual observations of sulphide mineralisation reported in this announcement are preliminary in nature and should not be considered a substitute for laboratory assays. No quantitative estimates of gold grade can be made from visual logging alone. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the presence and grade of gold mineralisation.

FIN Director, Jason Bontempo, commented:

“This is a strong start to the drilling program at Cabin Lake, with the first hole successfully completed and intersecting a broad zone of sulphide mineralisation within the targeted geological system.

Importantly, this result confirms the presence of the mineralised system and aligns with our geological model, while supporting the prospectivity of the project. The scale and intensity of sulphide mineralisation observed provides confidence in the prospectivity of the system as we continue to test its extent and structural controls.

With drilling now progressing to the second hole and ice conditions supporting access to the lake targets, we are moving into the most important phase of the program. We look forward to updating shareholders as assay results become available.”

Diamond Drilling and Geological Observations

The first hole (CL-26-001) has been completed to a final depth of approximately 56 metres.

The hole was designed as a confirmatory hole to historical drillhole CL-20-08 (Arrow Zone) and oriented to test the mineralised system along its interpreted plunge. The hole successfully intersected the targeted banded iron formation sequence, with a broad 38.37m interval (14.55m to 52.92m) of sulphide mineralisation logged, interpreted from visual logging as predominantly pyrite, with lesser pyrrhotite, and occasional quartz veining. Refer to Appendix B for collar plan and drill section.

The observed sulphide mineralisation and alteration are consistent with previous drilling (i.e. CL-20-08) and support the Company’s geological interpretation of a structurally controlled mineralised system within the targeted host sequence. Core recovery and integrity is considered very good, thus facilitating the collection of important structural data. The core is being prepared for transport to Yellowknife for cutting, sampling and analysis. Assay results are expected in 4-6 weeks.

The drill rig is currently being mobilised and preparing to commence drilling of the second hole of the program (CL-26002).

Geophysics Program

A downhole geophysical survey (DHIP) has been completed on the first hole (CL-26-001) and will be integrated with geological logging and surface geophysical data. FIN will assess the suitability of DHIP as a tool to assist in targeting.

A ground magnetics survey has also commenced. The ground magnetic data is being collected to supplement the historical magnetic data and will be utilised to better define structures associated with mineralisation. This program is being carried out concurrent with the downhole IP survey program.

The geophysical program is progressing concurrently with drilling, and remains adaptive, with results from drilling and completed downhole surveys to guide the balance between further downhole and surface geophysical work.

Logistics and Field Operations

Field operations are fully established, with camp infrastructure, drilling equipment and logistical support operating efficiently.

A Twin Otter fixed-wing aircraft is now supporting site logistics, improving reliability of transport for personnel, equipment and drill core, and reducing reliance on helicopter operations.

Snowcats continue to support site access and operations, including preparation of drill locations and movement of personnel and equipment.

==> picture [213 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

Core will be transported regularly to Yellowknife to support timely cutting, sampling and assay workflows.

The Company continues to engage with the Tłı̨chǫ community as part of ongoing collaboration and communication with local stakeholders.

Technical Program

The current drilling program represents the first phase of systematic drill testing at Cabin Lake following completion of the Company’s acquisition of the Project.

The program has been designed following detailed geological review and reinterpretation of historical drilling and geophysical data.

The first hole has confirmed the presence of the targeted host sequence and sulphide mineralisation consistent with the Company’s geological model, as well as supporting the interpretation of historical drillhole (CL-20-08). Subsequent drill holes, including planned lake-based holes, are designed to:

  • Test the system at varying orientations to obtain structural information from orientated core, as well as better constrain true widths to the mineralisation

  • Improve understanding of structural controls on mineralisation

  • Refine targeting across priority zones elsewhere within the 15km strike length of the Bugow Iron Formation

Ongoing integration of geological logging and geophysical data will support further drill targeting as the program progresses.

Collar positions were recorded in local grid and converted to NAD83 UTM 11N.
Drillhole collars are existing and will be surveyed by RTK GPS.
Downhole surveys were recorded using the acid etch method (an old method of
measuring a drillhole's inclination by lowering a sealed glass tube partially filled with
dilute hydrofluoric acid. After allowing time for the acid to etch a horizontal line on
the inside of the tube, the tube is retrieved and the angle of the etched line from the
horizontal is measured, which indicates the drillhole's angle at that specific depth).
Surveys were taken at various depth intervals, depending on end of hole depth: i.e.
bottom of hole, 2 or 3 intermediate depth intervals, at 50m depth intervals, or none
