Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to advise that via its wholly owned subsidiary Tarmoola Holdings Pty Ltd ( THP ) it has exercised its option to purchase the 172,662 Ha (424,748 acre) Tarmoola Station and associated mining services business “Carhill Contracting”.

The majority of Torian’s Mt Stirling Gold Project including the Mt Stirling, Stirling Well, numerous historical mine workings, and much of the Diorite prospects and historical mines and workings, falls within the bounds of Tarmoola Station. Approximately 50% of the pastoral lease is covered by mining / exploration leases, with the station hosting numerous operating and abandoned mines including Red 5 Ltd’s KOTH Operation, Round Oak Minerals Jaguar Project, and the operating Bentley underground mine.

The station currently contains a 20-person camp with approvals in place as well as infrastructure already built to expand to a 50-person accommodation facility. The Pastoral Lease also includes the 10 Mile Outcamp accommodation facility, in the NE of the property, and is serviced by the Goldfields Highway and a myriad of pastoral access tracks, including the Agnew and Darlot access roads. The station is neighboured by Nambi Station – leased by Glencore Mining, and Melrose Station leased by Red 5 Ltd.

Since 2018, the owners have invested in excess of $1,000,000 in infrastructure upgrades across the Station including maintaining and upgrading 34 automated solar powered wells out of 42 existing wells that draw from the abundant water resource of the Tarmoola Aquifer.

In addition to the pastoral lease and camp, the station agreement includes a number of revenue generating assets, including approximately 1,100 head of cattle, a continuous $360,000 per annum of carbon credits and a mining services business “Carhill Contracting” which is cash flow positive. In the last 12 months Carhill Contracting’s customers have included Red 5 (ASX:RED), St Barbara Ltd (ASX:SBM), Round Oak Mining (ASX:SOL) and Torian Resources (ASX:TNR) amongst other regional explorers. The revenue earned from carbon credits is a result of the delivery and sale of Australian Carbon Credit Units ascribed to the Pastoral Station pursuant to the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (Cth).

The purchase of the station and associated business also includes hard assets (Machinery, vehicles etc) that have been independently valued at $1,165,600 (inc GST).

As part of this agreement the current Station Manager has agreed to stay on for at least 12 months post settlement to provide stability during this transition. Torian Resources envisages a long and mutually benefiting business model whereby pastoral interests can co-exist with the mineral wealth of the region and its rich pioneering history.

As the agreement includes a number of cash flow positive businesses and over $1M of independently valued hard assets, Torian has been able to secure numerous debt funding proposals, which it is still actively considering.

Torian Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said, “ Our recent site visit has confirmed our convictions that moving ahead with purchasing the station fits very nicely with our long-term

==> picture [79 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

strategic goal of solidifying our land holding in the Leonora region as we progress with further exploration of the Mt Stirling Gold Project and potential mining operations. As owners of the pastoral lease we will be able to reduce our discovery cost per ounce and ensure that the process of obtaining permits for our exploration and potential future mining activities, is as seamless as possible.

The purchase of the Tarmoola Station is therefore seen as a crucial step towards fast-tracking the exploration of and potential mining production at the Mt Stirling Gold Project.

There are substantial access benefits by holding pastoral leases. Owning and controlling the pastoral lease on which the majority of our flagship project lies, in addition to the accommodation facilities and earth moving equipment, gives us enormous flexibility when it comes to our future exploration plans, as we continue to put runs on the board, prove up and expand on multiple targets and deposits to deliver JORC resources in the region. Furthermore, we will be able to leverage our positions as owners of the station when it comes to negotiations with our neighbours’ whose tenements are located on the station, making us a significant player in the region.

From a funding perspective, we have numerous debt funding options available to us which will help debt fund the majority of the acquisition, thereby minimising shareholder dilution. In addition, the recent increases in cattle prices (https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2021-0420/record-high-live-export-cattle-prices-buoy-wa-pastoral-industry/100080390) gives us the opportunity for a previously unexpected near term cash boost.

We look forward to keeping the market updated on our progress.”

About Tarmoola Station

Tarmoola Station is a pastoral lease located about 25 kilometres north west of Leonora and 100 kilometres south of Leinster in the Goldfields of Western Australia. The western boundary of Tarmoola adjoins Sturt Meadows Station.

The property was established on land that was previously owned by the Leonora Pastoral Company but had remained largely undeveloped. Reuben McBride inspected the area and took up a lease over approximately 500,000 acres in 1923. Together with W. G. Hawkes, McBride formed the Tarmoola Pastoral Company in 1924 and embarked on an improvement program. Shortly afterwards, some 240,000 acres was fenced and several bores sunk.

Further information regarding the station can be found on its Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarmoola_Station

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board.

Peretz Schapiro Executive Chairman Torian Resources Ltd [email protected]

About Torian:

Torian Resources Ltd (ASX: TNR) is a highly active gold exploration and development company with an extensive and strategic land holding comprising six projects and over 400km² of tenure in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. All projects are nearby to excellent infrastructure and lie within 50km of major mining towns.

Torian’s flagship Mt Stirling Project is situated approximately 40km NW of Leonora, and neighbours Red 5’s Kind of the Hills mine. The region has recently produced approximately 14M oz of gold from mines such as Tower Hills, Sons of Gwalia, Thunderbox, Harbour Lights and Gwalia.

The Mt Stirling Project consists of 2 blocks:

The Stirling Block to the north which contains two JORC Inferred resources.

==> picture [79 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

a. Mt Stirling – 727,000t at 1.45 g/t Au for 33,900oz
b. Stirling Well – 253,500t at 2.01 g/t Au for 16,384oz
The Diorite Block to the south, home of the historic 73 g/t Diorite King Mine.

The Mount Monger goldfield is located within the Kalgoorlie terrane subdivision of the Eastern Goldfields Province. This 3,700-hectare project lies within close vicinity of Silver Lake Resources Ltd’s (ASX: SLR) key asset, the Mount Monger Gold Camp, a prolific part of the Eastern Goldfields district of Western Australia. The Mount Monger Camp had produced more than 1.67Moz in the last 30 years, and more than 330,000 ounces for Silver Lake in in the last 24 months alone.

The project consists of two distinct areas:

The Mt Monger North Block to the north
The Mt Monger South Block to the south

The Company is now actively pursuing a proposed spin-off of the Mt Monger and Gibraltar Projects, which proposes that Torian will hold approximately 10% of the new listed entity plus a 20% free carried JV interest in the projects.

Another project in the Kalgoorlie region is the Zuleika project in which the Company is involved in a JV with Dampier Gold Ltd (ASX: ZAG). The Zuleika project is located along the worldclass Zuleika Shear, which is the fourth largest gold producing region in Australia and consistently produces some of the country’s highest grade and lowest cost gold mines. This project lies north and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including Northern Star’s (ASX: NST) 7.0Moz East Kundana Joint Venture and Evolution’s (ASX: EVN) 1.8Moz Frogs Legs and White Foil deposits.

Torian’s other projects within the Kalgoorlie region include the Bonnie Vale and Gibraltar Projects, and its Credo Well JV with Dampier Gold Ltd (ASX: ZAG), host of a JORC Inferred resource of 86,419t at 4.41 g/t Au for 12,259 oz.
