Dreadnought Deposit and Empress – Dreadnought Low Grade Stockpile Mineral Resource Update

Highlights:

  • 24.1% increase in total Dreadnought Open Pit Mineral Resource ounces

  • Empress - Dreadnought Low Grade Stockpile Mineral Resource is mine ready with approved mine proposal

West Australian gold company Focus Minerals Limited ( ASX: FML ) ( Focus or the Company ) is pleased to announce updated Mineral Resource estimation for the Dreadnought Deposit, part of the Company’s 100%-owned Coolgardie Gold Operations ( Coolgardie ).

Coolgardie comprises 141km[2] of highly prospective tenements on the outskirts of the Coolgardie township in the Goldfields region (Figure 1). Dreadnought is located 300m south of the Tindals/Empress mine complex.

Dreadnought mineralisation is primarily hosted by diorite and hornblende-feldspar porphyries that have intruded the Brilliant Ultramafic unit (Figure 2). The Dreadnought Deposit and low grade (LG) stockpiles are located adjacent to the Tindals Haul Road 4.4 km south of Coolgardie townsite (Figure 2).

The new Dreadnought Open Pit Mineral Resource is reported on a dry tonnage basis using 0.6g/t cut off to 280mRL (140m below surface) and compared with previously reported Mineral Resource Estimate in 2013.

Mineral Resource Estimation

Dreadnought is a structurally/geologically very complex deposit. The deposit contains eight primary structural/geological domains which have variable mineralisation style and orientation. An additional low-grade domain envelope has also been estimated that encompasses each of the eight primary domains.

The Dreadnought Open Pit Mineral Resource has been completed using a combination of detailed Ordinary Kriged ( OK ) modelling of lodes within each domain and within the overall low grade envelope domain.

During May and June 2023, Focus completed 23 reverse circulation ( RC ) holes for 2,736m drilling targeting some of the shallow Inferred Category Mineral Resources at Dreadnought for conversion to Indicated Category. Significant intersections returned by this drilling include (refer to JORC Table 1 for full details of drill holes):

  • 23DNRC007 - 27.00m @ 4.87g/t from 43m for (GxM 131)

  • 23DNRC008 - 41.00m @ 1.26g/t from 95m for (GxM 52)

  • 23DNRC010 - 29.00m @ 1.76g/t from 85m for (GxM 51)

  • • 23DNRC002 - 24.00m @ 1.46g/t from 95m for (GxM 35)

The drilling was successful and allowed a final phase of Mineral Resource review, modelling and estimation prior to pit optimisation and design. Additional care was taken to identify consistently highergrade mineralised structures and model these into separate high-grade domains such as Domain 2 (Figures 8 and 9). This improves the spatial control on the location of higher-grade mineralisation and restricts its ability to influence material outside the high-grade domains.

It is noted that a significant up dip and from surface part of Domain 2 has not been sufficiently drill tested beneath the east wall of the pit up to its intersection with the Dreadnought Fault (Domain 3 – Figures 8 and 9). This remains a potentially high-grade drill target for follow up. This area has not been previously drilled due to the historic location of now removed dumps and focus of mining further to the west of Domain 2.

The new Dreadnought Open Pit Mineral Resource is reported on a dry tonnage basis using 0.6g/t cut off to 280mRL (140m below surface) and compared with previously reported Mineral Resource Estimate in 2013.

Despite Dreadnought having a significant Mineral Resource the reporting depth has been limited to only 140m depth taking into consideration:

  • Depth of RC drilling.

  • Future pit will be a cut back on a 65m deep pit – impacting economic depth of extraction.

  • Applicable royalties.

  • Mineralisation geometries are complicated and will impact open pit production rate.

  • Mineralisation geometries are complicated and will impact recovery/dilution.

It is noted that the new (JORC 2012) Mineral Resource estimate contains significantly more tonnes at a lower grade that the 2013 (JORC 2004) Mineral Resource estimate. This is partially as a result of reporting at 0.6 g/t cut off rather than 1 g/t cut off. However, the main difference relates to comprehensive geology driven remodelling of this complex deposit.

Market Announcement | Page 6 of 41

The Empress - Dreadnought Low Grade Stockpile comprises 28%from Empress Open Pit: 72% from Dreadnought Open Pit. To deliver a reliable Mineral Resource, a program of 59 RC grade control holes was implemented at 10m to 15m lateral spacing for 1,147m. In addition, 10m spaced rock chip samples were collected over the entirety of the dump and any paddock dumped areas to provide further details on the nature of the stockpile.

Drill sampling stockpiled material can be problematic as it is common to encounter intervals with poor or even no sample return. These issues are typically found in less consolidated areas of stockpile such as the tip head and surrounding rill slopes that are poorly compacted.

Nine RC holes proximal to the southern rill edge of the stockpile were significantly affected by poor sample return (Figures 5 and 6). This part of the stockpile is considered under sampled and is defined by a 58.7Kt south dipping wedge of mostly fresh rock material. It is also noted the rill slopes that surround the central part of the stockpile are similarly under sampled.

For the purposes of Mineral Resource Estimation mine production data has been reviewed for both the Empress and Dreadnought deposits. Material mined for low grade stockpile between 2011 -2013 had an in-situ grade of 0.8 g/t and was diluted by mining to 0.62g/t.

During toll milling the head grade of feed from the Empress - Dreadnought LG Stockpile ranged from 0.75 g/t to 1.25 g/t with a weighted average of 0.89 g/t. This indicates that the estimated diluted grade of material historically assigned to low grade from the Empress and Dreadnought deposits was significantly under called by about 40%. For the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation material with insufficient follow up sampling within the Empress – Dreadnought LG Stockpile has been assigned a set grade of 0.85 g/t. Which is slightly less than the median grade achieved during toll milling in 2022.

Of the remaining 50 grade control holes covering the majority of the stockpile, five scattered holes had significantly worse sample return (Figure 5). These holes are surrounded by reasonably close spaced holes with acceptable recovery and as such the remainder of the stockpile is considered to be effectively sampled.

Of the 45 holes with better sample recovery, 41 have recorded cumulative intersections exceeding 7 gram x meters (GxM). Some of the significant intersections recorded by this drilling include holes partially impacted by poor sample return. A selection of some intersections calculated using 0.5 g/t cut of and up to 2m internal dilution include (refer to JORC Table 1 for full details of drill holes):

  • 22DNRC037 - 19.00m @ 2.72g/t from 3m for (GxM 52)

  • • 22DNRC005 - 8.00m @ 3.86g/t from 2m for (GxM 31) • 22DNRC004 - 2.00m @ 15.43g/t from 6m for (GxM 31) • 22DNRC049 - 14.00m @ 1.32g/t from 3m for (GxM 18) • 22DNRC030 - 16.00m @ 1.09g/t from 6m for (GxM 17) • 22DNRC038 - 14.00m @ 1.16g/t from 9m for (GxM 16) – 9m sample loss at start of hole • 22DNRC031 - 14.00m @ 1.02g/t from 4m for (GxM 14) • 22DNRC045 - 9.00m @ 1.39g/t from 9m for (GxM 12) • 22DNRC019 - 10.00m @ 1.15g/t from 3m for (GxM 11) • 22DNRC036 - 7.00m @ 1.5g/t from 16m for (GxM 10) • 22DNRC012 - 3.00m @ 3.41g/t from 10m for (GxM 10) • 22DNRC029 - 10.00m @ 1g/t from 10m for (GxM 10) • 22DNRC009 - 8.00m @ 1.24g/t from 10m for (GxM 10) – 7m sample loss at start of hole

It is noted that the low-grade stockpile grade exceeds estimated cut offs for processing at the refurbished Three Mile Hill Mill.

Market Announcement | Page 8 of 41

The Empress – Dreadnought LG Stockpile has been domained into four minable volumes (Figure 6) reflecting different estimated grades:

  • Pre- strip Southern Domain – is mostly fresh rock material extending from the southern part of the stockpile and onlapping the southern edge of the Southern Domain. This material was originally unclassified due to lack of successful grade control sampling. As such pre-stripping for resampling was considered as a possible option for this material. During the 2022 toll milling campaign 15,586t of this pre-strip domain was processed confirming it has average stockpile grade. As such there is no longer any reason to consider pre-stripping this material in follow up mining campaigns.

  • Southern Domain – is mostly well sampled material with generally elevated grade compared to the remainder of the stockpile. The northern margin of this domain is defined by a 30 degree rill slope that extends generally east - west across the stockpile and is potentially a minable shape if selective mining of the stockpile is targeted.

  • Central Low-Grade Domain – 0.6kt block of lower grade material underlying the central part of the Southern domain. This domain could be conceivably left in place if selective mining of higher-grade material was targeted.

  • Northern Domain – is mostly well sampled material underlying the northern edge of the Southern domain and extending to the northern limit of the stockpile.

The pre mining Empress – Dreadnought LG Stockpile Mineral Resource is reported on a dry tonnage basis. All material reported by domain exceeds 0.4 g/t economic cut off for treatment at Three Mile Hill Mill.

The two new representative samples have delivered strong results:

  • High gravity gold recovery at 54.1%,

  • Fast leach recovery majority leach in 6 hours and,

  • High extraction of 97%.

Toll milling of the Empress – Dreadought LG stockpile completed during the December Qtr 2022 indicates recovery ranges between 88.1 and 98% with weighted average of 95.6%.

Location and Past Production

Dreadnought and the Empress Open Pits were last mined in mid-2013. Dreadnought has been mined in stages. The most recent phase was completed as a 65m deep pit by Focus between June 2011 and July 2013. Reported mining at Dreadnought during this period comprises: 878 Kt @ 1.35 g/t (diluted) for 38.2Koz.

  • selective mining practices targeting higher grade mill feed

  • changes in mining personnel

Low grade material from Dreadnought is deposited in two stockpiles adjacent to the Empress - Dreadnought waste dump. The majority of the Dreadnought low grade material has been deposited into the Empress – Dreadnought Low Grade Stockpile immediately east of the Empress - Dreadnought waste dump (Figure 2).

The actual tonnage of the Empress Dreadnought LG Stockpile has been refined via reconciliation of 2022 toll milling survey pickup and comparison with trucking and milling figures. The reported pre mining Mineral Resource estimate contains 353.6Kt vs mine records indicating 444.9Kt (91.4Kt less or 20.5% fewer tonnes). This 2011-2013 mining tonnes overcall is likely caused by issues with applied

density and material movement reconciliation. Furthermore, 2022 grade control drilling on the Empress – Dreadnought LG Stockpile and follow up toll milling confirm the grade of this stockpile has been under called by about 40%.

Additional mainly fresh and transitional Dreadnought low grade material is deposited in a stockpile immediately south of the Empress- Dreadnought waste dump (Figure 2). According to production records this stockpile comprises:

In the June Quarter 2023 Focus completed 89 RC grade control holes for 280m drilling over the southern 100% Dreadnought LG stockpile area. Material recovery for this program was good however, returned grades are patchy and mainly sub-economic. A small portion of this 51Kt LG stockpile may be recoverable, however no mineral resource estimate has been completed at this stage.

Summary Geology and Structure

Dreadnought is hosted by diorite and feldspar – hornblende porphyry intrusions in the Brilliant Ultramafic. This is the same geology hosting the Tindals – Empress mine complex. Mineralisation at Dreadnought is more complex and required detailed modelling. The complexity at Dreadnought is related to:

  • Structural offsets,

  • Structural intersections

  • Changes in orientation across faults

  • Changes in structural style in different parts of the Mineral Resource

To deal with this complexity the Mineral Resource has been divided into 8 domains.

Domain 1 Triangular shaped domain in the southern part of the system. Mineralisation is hosted by stacked moderate north dipping diorite intrusions. Within the diorite and contacts, eight stacked, low to medium grade lodes dip at ~40° to the north. This domain is truncated on its west side by the NE striking Dreadnought Fault (Domain 3 - fault zone and quartz veins) and on its east side by a sub vertical diorite dyke and associated high grade veining striking to the north (Domain 2)

Domain 2 Mineralisation in the southeast part of the system is hosted by sub vertical 84° towards 250° dipping high grade veins and diorite dykes. Domain 2 truncates the eastern side of Domain 1. Domain 2 is truncated to the north by Domain 3 (Dreadnought Fault).

  • Domain 7 Mineralisation extending north northwest away from the Dreadnought Open Pit. This mineralisation is diorite hosted and associated with deeper weathering than the main Dreadnought Open Pit area. The mineralisation has a general orientation of 70° towards 302°. This domain hosts significant higher-grade mineralisation and despite extending to near surface has not been targeted by open pit extraction. The northern part of Domain 7 appears to be truncated by the steeply north north-west dipping Terminator Fault.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Explanation
Sampling
techniques

The information of sampling techniques below applies to the drill holes drilled by
Focus Minerals (FML).

RC percussion drill chips were collected through a cyclone and cone or riffle
splitter. Samples were collected on a 1m basis to achieve a sample weight of
approximately 3kg. The splitter was levelled at the beginning of each hole using a
bullseye level. The spoils were collected at 1m intervals and either placed directly
on the ground or collected in large “green bags”.

FML also collected composite samples by grab sampling the 1m spoils and the
corresponding 1m samples collected off the drill rig were submitted if the
composite returned an assay >0.2ppm Au.

FML diamond core was drilled at NQ2 core size and ½ core sampled.

A-Cap collected samples off the rig cyclone in 1m intervals that were riffle split into
a sealed small, numbered bag for analysis.

Nimbus Resources NL riffle split 1m samples when dry and spear sampled when
wet. Outside of known mineralisation zones 4m composite samples were
submitted and 1m sample intervals submitted for composite values returned >
0.2g/t Au.

New Hampton Goldfields Ltd (New Hampton) also took 4m composites and 1m
riffle split samples. Composite samples were re-submitted as 1m intervals where
results returned >0.2g/t Au.

South Kal Mines Pty Ltd collected 1m samples and also 4m composites that were
initially submitted for analysis. Where composite samples returned >0.2g/t the
corresponding 1m splits were submitted.
Drilling techniques
All FML drilling was completed using a Reverse Circulation (RC) face sampling
hammer with booster auxiliary or by NQ2 sized diamond drill bit.

EHGM drilling was by RC methods with 1 diamond tail added to the end of an RC
hole.

A-Cap holes were predominantly drilled by an RC face sampling hammer rig.

Nimbus drilled RC samples using an RC rig with 5 ¾ inch diameter drill bit and a
booster compressor to counter the hard ground conditions.

New Hampton drilled RC samples with a booster compressor at 5 ¾ inch diameter.

South Kal drilled RC samples with an auxiliary compressor.
Drill sample
recovery

FML Sample recovery was recorded by a visual estimate during the logging
process.

All RC samples were drilled dry whenever possible to maximize recovery, with
water injection on the outside return to minimise dust.

Historic sample recovery is poorly recorded.
Logging
FML RC samples were geologically logged to record weathering, regolith, rock
type, colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other notable
features that are present.

The logging information was transferred into the company’s drilling database once
the log was complete.

Logging was qualitative, however the geologists often recorded quantitative
mineral percentage ranges for the sulphide minerals present.

The entire length of all holes is logged.

RC chips were washed and stored in chip trays, while diamond core was
orientated and photographed prior to being ½ core sampled with remaining core
stored at the TMH coreyard.

Historic RC holes have been logged at 1m intervals to record weathering, regolith,
rock type, colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other
notable features that are present.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation

FML RC samples were drilled dry to maximise recovery where possible. The use
of a booster and auxiliary compressor provide dry sample for depths below the
water table. Sample condition was recorded (wet, dry, or damp) at the time of
sampling and recorded in the database.

FML utilised various laboratories over the years, Amdel Laboratories, KAL Assay,
ALS and Jinning Laboratory. However, the sample preparation remained the
same. Samples were collected in a pre-numbered calico bag bearing a unique
sample ID. At the assay laboratory all samples were oven dried, crushed to a
nominal 10mm using a jaw crusher (core samples only) and weighed. Samples in
excess of 3kg in weight were riffle split to achieve a maximum 3kg sample weight
before being pulverized to 90% passing 75μm.

FML samples were analysed by 30g to 50g Fire Assay for individual samples with
an ICP-OES or AAS Finish.

The assay laboratories’ sample preparation procedures follow industry best
practice, with techniques and practices that are appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. Pulp duplicates were taken at the pulverising stage and selective
repeats conducted at the laboratories’ discretion.

Regular reviews of the sampling were carried out by the supervising geologist and
senior field staff, to ensure all procedures were followed and best industry practice
carried out.

The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the type, style and
consistency of mineralisation encountered during this phase of exploration.

A-Cap submitted its RC samples to Genalysis Laboratories for fire assay analysis
by FA50 method, following mixer mill preparation.

Nimbus submitted samples to Amdel laboratory for a 50g Fire Assay.

New Hampton submitted samples to Amdel laboratories for a fire assay with AAS
finish to a 10ppb detection limit.

South Kal submitted samples to Amdel for a 40g Fire Assay with an AAS finish.
Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests

The assay method and laboratory procedures were appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. The fire assay technique was designed to measure total gold in the
sample.

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments were used.

FML QAQC checks involved inserting a standard or blank every 10 to 20 samples
in RC or diamond core and taking a field duplicate every 20 samples in RC. Field
duplicates were collected from the cone splitter on the rig. A minimum of 1
standard was inserted for every sample batch submitted.

All results from assay standards and duplicates were scrutinised to ensure they fell
within acceptable tolerances.

In November 2004 test work comparing results from fire assay versus leachwell
methods was conducted using the 1m residues from the earlier 2004 drill program
to investigate the possibility of a coarse gold issue. Results showed significant
proportion of the grade was from the coarse fraction and as such results varied
between the FA and leachwell results.

A-Cap used field duplicates, laboratory repeats and standards as QAQC checks.

Nimbus used a check screen fire assay.
New Hampton and South Kal do not list QAQC practices.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

Significant intervals were visually inspected by company geologists to correlate
assay results to logged mineralisation. Consultants were not used for this process.

Primary data is sent in digital format to the company’s Database Administrator
(DBA) as often as was practicable. The DBA imports the data into an acQuire
database, with assay results merged into the database upon receipt from the
laboratory. Once loaded, data was extracted for verification by the geologist in
charge of theproject.

Market Announcement | Page 20 of 41


No adjustments were made to any current or historic data. If data could not be
validated to a reasonable level of certainty it was not used in any resource
estimations.
Location of data
points

FML drill collars were surveyed after completion, using a DGPS instrument. Holes
were open hole surveyed upon completion of drilling using an electronic multi-shot
camera or north-seeking gyroscope tool whilst drilling was in progress.

FML short RC grade control holes drilled in 2022 on the low-grade stockpile were
not downhole surveyed.

FML 2023 resource development holes at Dreadnought open pit were down hole
surveyed using a north seeking gyro.

FML 2023 short vertical RC grade control holes targeting Dreadnought stockpiles
and tails were not downhole surveyed given average depth approximated less
than 3m.

All coordinates and bearings use the MGA94 Zone 51 grid system.

FML utilises Landgate sourced regional topographic maps and contours as well as
internally produced survey pick-ups produced by the mining survey teams utilising
DGPS base station instruments.

A-Cap have not stated surveying methods.

Nimbus used a licensed surveyor to capture the drill collar locations and holes
were down hole surveyed using a Gyro-Probe gyroscopic down hole instrument.

New Hampton used a licensed surveyor to locate the drill collar locations, holes
were down hole surveyed using a Gyro-Probe gyroscopic down hole instrument.

South Kal used Wheelans Surveyors Kalgoorlie to pick up drill collars using a
DGPS and Surtron of Kalgoorlie to down hole survey the holes using an in-rod
gyroscope.
Data spacing and
distribution

Within the existing Dreadnought Open Pit, close spaced, 10m x 10m grid drill
pattern exists. Outside of the main pit it extends to 20m x 20m following known
mineralisation trends.

On top of the low-grade stockpile drill spacing is approximately 10m x 10m.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure

Drilling was designed based on known geological models, field mapping, verified
historical data and cross-sectional interpretation.

Drill holes were oriented at right angles to strike of the main deposit, however
given the differing nature of the Dreadnought mineralisation orientation not all
holes were orientated to best delineate the geology.

A mixture of vertical and angled holes was drilled on the low-grade Stockpile to
give best coverage with available drilling positions.

2023 stockpile and tails grade control drilling only used vertical oriented RC holes
Sample security
All samples were reconciled against the sample submission with any omissions or
variations reported to FML.

All samples were bagged in a tied numbered calico bag, grouped into green plastic
bags. The bags were placed into cages with a sample submission sheet and
delivered directly from site to the Kalgoorlie laboratories by FML personnel.
Historic sample security is not recorded.
Audits or reviews
A review of sampling techniques was carried out by rOREdata Pty Ltd in late 2013
as part of a database amalgamation project. Their only recommendation was to
change the QA/QC intervals to bring them into line with the FML Laverton system,
which uses the same frequency of standards and duplicates but has them inserted
at different points within the numbering sequence.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

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

Criteria Explanation Explanation Explanation Explanation
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

All exploration was conducted on tenements 100% owned by Focus Minerals Limited or its
subsidiary companies Focus Operations Pty Ltd. All tenements are in good standing.
The Malinyu Ghoorlie 2017 Claim cover the majority of the Coolgardie tenure. At this stage
no Coolgardie claims have progressed to determined status.
Exploration done
by other parties

Dreadnought has been historically mined by underground shafts and drives. Figures indicate
2,000 ounces of gold was recovered from 2,150 tonnes mined at a grade of 28.7g/t Au.

More recent open pit mining by A-Cap in the 1980s recorded production figures of 70,575t @
1.82g/t Au for 4,130 ounces.

FML commenced Dreadnought Open Pit mining operations in June 2011 through until the
site was placed on care and maintenance in July 2013. Production figures for this period
comprise:

ROM Ore delivered 505,915 t @ 1.9 g/t for 30,890 oz

Empress- Dreadnought LG stockpile 321259 t @ 0.61 g/t for 6,330 oz

Dreadnought LG South Stockpile 50,984 t @ 0.61 g/t for 1,000oz.

Other exploration works carried out consisted of mapping, soil sampling, RAB, RC and
Diamond drilling, aerial surveys, ground magnetics
Geology
Regionally the deposit is located on the western margin of the Archaean Norseman –
Menzies Greenstone Belt. The province is sub-divided into three Terranes, with Dreadnought
occurring within the Kalgoorlie Terrane and further sub-divided into the Coolgardie Domain.
The dominant rock types throughout the Coolgardie Domain are mafic to ultramafic volcanic
rocks overlain by a thick succession of felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks which in turn
are intruded by a suite of felsic to intermediate porphyries and differentiated to
undifferentiated dolerites and gabbros.

Structurally the N-S Redemption Fault corridor, a major structure in the Coolgardie region
and associated with other mineralised deposits, runs directly to the west of the Dreadnought
deposit. Within the deposit a NW trending fault crosscuts the entire deposit separating it into
southern and northern zones of mineralisation.

This crosscutting fault is known as the Dreadnought Lode and was the main host of
mineralisation targeted by early mining companies.

Mineralisation is also present within the diorite intrusions and is associated with minor quartz
veining, silicification and base metal sulphides.

Dreadnought RC significant Intersections calculated at 0.5g/t Au cut off and up to 3m internal dilution
Data aggregation
methods

Mineralised intersections are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off with a minimum reporting width
of 1m for RC holes and 0.2m for diamond holes, composited to 1m.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

Holes were drilled orthogonal to mineralisation as much as possible, however the exact
relationship between intercept width and true width cannot be estimated exactly in all cases.
Diagrams
Accurate plans are included in this announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Drilling results are reported in a balanced reporting style.

FML drill assay results and historic drill hole results are predominantly available on WAMEX.
Other substantive
exploration data

There is no other material exploration data to report at this time.
Further work
A review of the revised modelling and estimation is underway, with respect to planning future
drillholes.

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources

(Criteria listed in section 1, and where relevant in section 2, also apply to this section)

Criteria Explanation
Database integrity
FML data was geologically logged electronically, collar and downhole surveys were also
received electronically as were the laboratory analysis results. These electronic files were
loaded into an acQuire database by either consultants rOREdata or the company in-house
Database Administrator. Data was routinely extracted to Microsoft Access during the drilling
programs for validation by the geologist in charge of the project.

FML’s database is a Microsoft SQL Server database (acQuire), which is case sensitive,
relational, and normalised to the Third Normal Form. As a result of normalisation, the following
data integrity categories exist:

Entity Integrity: no duplicate rows in a table, eliminated redundancy and chance of
error.

Domain Integrity: Enforces valid entries for a given column by restricting the type,
the format, or a range of values.

Referential Integrity: Rows cannot be deleted which are used by other records.

User-Defined Integrity: business rules enforced by acQuire and validation codes
set up by FML.

Additionally, in-house validation scripts are routinely run in acQuire on FML’s database and
they include the following checks:

Missing collar information

Missing logging, sampling, downhole survey data and hole diameter

Overlapping intervals in geological logging, sampling, down hole surveys

Checks for character data in numeric fields.

Data extracted from the database were validated visually in Datamine and Seequent Leapfrog
software. Also, when loading the data any errors regarding missing values and overlaps are
highlighted.

Historic data has been validated against WAMEX reports where possible.
Site visits
Alex Aaltonen, the Competent Person for Sections 1 and 2 of Table 1 is FML’s General
Manager - Exploration and conducted regular site visits throughout 2022/2023.

Hannah Kosovich, the Competent Person for Section 3 of Table 1 is FML’s Resource
Geologist and visited site in 2014.
Geological
interpretation

All available drill hole and pit mapping data was used to guide the geological interpretation of
the mineralisation.

The mineralised geological interpretation was completed using Seequent Leapfrog software
on a section-by-section basis.

Dreadnought was modelled using geological and structural controls to identify domains of like
mineralisation. In total 8 different domains were identified. A lower cut-off of 0.4Au ppm was
used to guide the construction.

Within each domain vein sets were modelled with similar orientations of strike and dip. In total
58 different veins were modelled, with varying orientations and strike lengths. An approximate
0.5ppm Au value was used to guide the interpretation of the individual lodes.

Several of these mineralised structures were further sub – domained to define consistent HG
domains and prevent very HG from overly influencing lower grade areas. In total 15 HG sub
domains were created.

One mass lode with limited structural orientation was modelled adjacent to the Dreadnought
fault.

After reviewing Alicia and Empress deposits a significant ENE striking “terminator” fault has
been modelled that truncates Dreadnought to the north of the current open pit.

The low-grade stockpile was drilled at 10m grid spacing to help delineate areas of consistent
mineralised grade. Sub domains were constructed in Leapfrog software that encapsulates
different material types on the basis of 2022 sampling.
Dimensions
Mineralisation at Dreadnought has been interpreted over a 540m strike that extends from near
surface to approx. 245m below surface.

Market Announcement | Page 39 of 41


The thickness of the individual lodes varies from 0.5m wide to over 14m. While the larger
scale domains vary from 30m to approx. 110m thick.

The toe of the low-grade stockpile extends over 195m long and 90m wide. The central part of
the stockpile grade control sampled during 2022 extends over 165m long and 80m wide.
Estimation and
modelling
techniques

An Ordinary Kriging (OK) estimate was run using Datamine software, following the process
below:

Drill hole data was selected within mineralised domains and then within the internal vein set
lodes. Boundaries between veins and the surrounding domain were considered hard
boundaries and no data is shared between lodes or between domains and lodes. All drill hole
data was composited to 1m downhole intervals – 1m is the dominant raw sampling interval.

The composited data was imported into Supervisor software for statistical and geostatistical
analysis.

After a review of the individual lode statistics, higher Au samples that were outliers to the
main population were “top-capped” to a selected value for each lode. An average of 9ppm Au
was used with a maximum of 35ppm Au.

Variography was modelled on data transformed to normal scores, the variogram models were
back transformed to original units before exporting.

Variography was performed on the individual lodes with larger sample numbers, in total 23
variograms were modelled.

These models were shared with the other lodes that fell within that domain of similar
orientation and proximity. The broader scale domains also shared these variogram
orientations.

The back-transformed variogram models had moderate to high nugget effects (18 to 54% of
total sill), with a range from 21m to 190m for the lodes.

Estimation (via Ordinary Kriging) was into a non-rotated block model in MGA94 grid, with a
parent block size of 10 mE x 10 mN x 5 mRL – this is about the average drill spacing in the
deposit. Sub-blocking was used to best fill the wireframes and inherit the grade of the parent
block.

The ellipsoid search parameters used the variogram ranges, with a minimum of 8 and
maximum of 18 samples per block estimate was used. After the first pass 79% of blocks had
estimated. For un-estimated blocks after this first pass, the search distance was expanded by
a factor of two and the minimum number of samples dropped to 5. In the second pass 17% of
blocks estimated. A third pass was then run with an increased search distance by a factor of
four and the same minimum number of samples. Only 3% of blocks estimated in the third
search pass.

The broad domains had an isotropic 100m search radius used.

The estimate was validated by visually stepping through the estimated blocks and sample
data in Datamine. Comparing the estimated block statistics with composited sample data and
generate trend (Swath) plots to ensure the estimate was honouring the trends of the data.
Also, a review of the output parameters from the estimation process like kriging variance,
negative weights, search distances and sample numbers.

Following a review of estimated lode grades vs composite lode grades, a “distance limited
search” was applied to lodes that had high grades being spread into areas of fewer lower
grade samples artificially influencing the grades of these blocks.

The process is to apply a distance limit, 20m was selected based on a visual review of
sample spacing in affected lodes, to samples above 5ppm being used in the estimation of
blocks. Outside the 20m search ellipse assays above 5ppm are removed resulting in blocks
better honouring the low grades in areas of less drilling.

The low-grade stockpile was estimated by using an Inverse Distance Squared approach with
a 50m isotropic search and a minimum of 8 samples and a maximum of 20 samples. A top-
cap of 1.9ppm Au was applied to the samples to remove any high-grade outliers. The
stockpile estimated in a single search pass. Less sampled areas of the LG stockpile that are
difficult to estimate using this approach have had slightly conservative average grade applied
on the basis of reconciled toll milling results.
Moisture
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.

Tonnages for the LG stockpile have been reconciled with toll milling campaign conducted
during 2022.

Cut-off parameters
The Resources for Dreadnought have been reported above a 0.6g/t Au cut-off.

The low-grade stockpile has been reported without a lower-grade cut-off as it cannot be
selectively mined to cut off and the reconciled toll milling campaign indicates all domains
exceed economic cut off at the Three Mile Hill mill.
Mining factors or
assumptions

FML anticipates mining at Dreadnought by open pit methods with a cut-back and extension to
the existing open pit. Material to be processed through the Three Mile Hill plant some 8km to
the north of Dreadnought.

FML anticipates future LG stockpile reclamation as a load and haul operation to the Three Mile
Hill plant.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions

LG stockpile Toll Milling in 2022 Indicates very good recovery of gold averaging 95.6% which
compares favourably with 2022 Metallurgical testwork.

No new metallurgical testwork has been conducted on the Dreadnought deposit.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions

The deposits occur within an area of significant previous ground disturbance including open
pits and waste dumps.
Bulk density
Density values were assigned based on lithology type and weathering profile.

FML performed water immersion technique density test work on historic diamond core
samples and historic figures used by previous operators were used.

A single oxide density of 2.1t/m3 was used for all material types; an average of 2.65 t/m3 was
used for transitional material and an average of 2.85 t/m3 was used for fresh.

The following reconciliation of toll milling campaign the Empress – Dreadnought low-grade
_stockpile was assigned a density of 1.67 t/m3. _
Classification
Resources have been classified as Indicated and Inferred. Given the close-spaced sampling
distances and the successful mining of the deposit by Focus in the past, resources were
primarily classified based on confidence of the interpretation. Vein-sets with high confidence in
lode geometry, blocks filling in the first search pass and high density of FML drill holes were
classified as Indicated.

Vein-set lodes that had less data informing their geometry but still had blocks primarily filling in
the first search pass were classified as Indicated.

Blocks that estimated in the second or third pass were classed as Inferred.

All the background Domains have been classified as Inferred.

The low-grade stockpile has been classified as Indicated.
Audits or reviews
No independent audits or reviews of the mineral resource estimate have been conducted.
Discussion of
relative accuracy/
confidence

This is addressed in the relevant paragraph on Classification above.

The Mineral Resource relates to global tonnage and grade estimates.
