ASX Announcement – 8 October 2025
Que River Project: Scoping Study Completed Highlighting Low Capex Pathway to Potential Cash Flow
Highlights:
-
Greenwing continues to progress its 100% owned Que River Polymetallic asset located on the prolific Mount Reid Volcanics with the tabling of a compelling scoping study highlighting a potential low-cost pathway to cash flow from re-development and extension of existing open pits.
-
Mine production ceased in 2012 when commodity prices in particular Gold, Silver and Copper were significantly lower than today.
-
Completion of 2025 Scoping Study confirms the Que River Project can support a potentially cash-positive re-development through conventional open-pit operations, leveraging existing regional infrastructure from a modest upfront capital requirement of ~A$10m.
-
Optimised mine shell scenarios indicate potential mining and processing of ~665kt at Net Smelter Revenue (NSR) of ~$189/t, with conceptual undiscounted cash flows of ~$A63m with metal revenue of ~$A125m in less than a 12 month production period.
-
JORC (2012) Mineral Resource: a total inferred and indicated resource of 2.4 Mt @ 9.5% ZnEq, containing 75 kt Zn, 36 kt Pb, 10 kt Cu, 59 koz Au and 3.7 Moz Ag – refer Mineral Resource table on next page and Zinc Equivalent calculations in Appendix B.
-
Strong exploration upside identified with multiple high-grade gold and silver intercepts beneath and adjacent to existing open pits, including intercepts up to 86.9% ZnEq including 10 g/t Au.
CEO/Executive Director Comment:
The tabling of the scoping study is another encouraging addition to a rapidly emerging picture at Que River of a valuable asset. In addition to the tabling of a Mineral Resource in March 2025 and the highlighting of the exploration upside, the team has now tabled a potential low capex pathway to production. Que River, with existing mine infrastructure, has previously supported production at much lower commodity prices in particular gold and silver. The team looks forward to providing further updates at Que River over the coming period.

2025 SCOPING STUDY RESULTS
The Scoping Study, prepared to JORC 2012 and ASX Guidance Note 31 standards, demonstrates:
-
Conventional open-pit mining with low pre-production capital requirements (~A$10m) from existing mineral resource (ASX Announcement 25 March 2025).
-
Processing costs benchmarked at A$30–40/t, consistent with regional operations
-
Robust economics under a base case optimisation:
-
665 kt processed at an NSR of A$189/t with metal production valued at ~$A125m.
-
Undiscounted cash flow: ~A$62.8m, with a return on spend >100%.
-
Sensitivity analysis confirms limited downside to mining/processing cost increases, but stronger sensitivity to metal price movements.
Optimisation was completed using Net Smelter Return (NSR) as the grade item. NSR calculations are defined on page 5 of this document.

Net Smelter Return (NSR) factors
Due to the multi-element resource base, an approach has been taken to calculate a net smelter return (NSR) based upon processing recoveries, and payability per element in the Mineral Resource. The NSR calculation uses current metals prices, processing recovery based on past processing history, and estimates for payability for a concentrate to smelter. The payability includes freight and smelting charges and is a net factor of the metal price at the smelter. These are estimates only and based upon prior knowledge from Greenwing personnel regarding industry standard and past performance at Que River.
Net smelter return (NSR) has been populated within the block model. The calculation used has been based upon the sum of metal grade x metal price x payability x processing recovery to give a value in USD equivalent. This gives a NSR factor as below which is applied to each of the grade items. This is then summed for each block to give the final NSR for each block. An exchange rate of 0.65:1 (USD:AUD) has been applied post calculation to convert to Australian Dollars.
Optimisation was completed using NSR as the grade item. As such the processing costs used are essentially the cut-off grade.

Note:
The Production Target is preliminary and includes Inferred Resources. There is no certainty that the Scoping Study outcomes will be realised without further drilling, feasibility studies, and commercial agreements. At this stage, Ore Reserves have not been estimated, and the Study is insufficient to provide assurance of an economic development case. The study is based on a low level of technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of ore reserves at Que River. Forward looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors which are beyond the control of Greenwing Resources. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to costs, which are assumed within a level of accuracy of 40%. While the Company considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable hypothetical grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.

and silver areas are not overlooked. • Metal prices assumed this review include the 3 month LME contract price for base metals or last three month Kitco average price for precious metals. • Rosebery ore processing performs similar to Que River. The published Rosebery combined recovery and payability values (source HKEX:MMG 23 Jan 2025) provide factors consistent with that expected for a standalone processing Que River operation. High factors of around 6 for Cu and Au grades reflect the relatively high current metal prices for Cu, Au and Ag and generally higher smelter payability. These factors include: • However toll treatment may not provide the same opportunities as an owner operated processing plant. The combined recovery, concentrate payability and milling cost used by BSM in 2009 for toll treatment at Rosebery were lower as they included processing costs but also flatter payability across the commodities. It is these less optimistic equivalence assumptions and factors that are applied at this stage of the project review as follows: • All prices, values and calculations are rounded to 2 significant digits. • Based on this information it is the Company’s opinion that the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. • Owing to the uncertainty with respect to the zinc equivalent calculation approach the ZnEq values are only used for cut-off grades so as to incorporate blocks with significant Au, Ag and Cu credits.

| Mineral Resource estimate for conversion to Ore Reserves |
• Description of the Mineral Resource estimate used as a basis for the conversion to an Ore Reserve. |
The Mineral Resource estimate that this Production Target is based upon has been compiled by Mr John Horton of Reseval Pty Ltd. The Mineral Resource estimates have been completed using block models developed by Mr Horton for the Que River project, using data supplied by Greenwing Resources Ltd. (Greenwing). The models produced incorporated all mineralisation in the Que River Deposit that has been generated to date and allow for mining depletion from historical open pit and underground production. A 5% ZnEq cut-off grade has been applied to the resource. The following table comprises the Mineral Resources used within this study and has been taken from the ASX media release of 25thMarch 2025, Greenwing tables updated Polymetallic Mineral Resource at Que River. This release is publicly available on the Greenwing controlled web site. Table 1: 2025 Que River Mineral Resource at 5%ZnEq cut-off grade |
| • Clear statement as to whether the Mineral Resources are reported additional to, or inclusive of, the Ore Reserves. |
The Mineral Resources reported are inclusive of the Production Target. No Ore Reserves have been generated as the level of study is considered hypothetical and is completed to a Scoping Study Level. |

hypothetical modifying factors. These factors are within current industry benchmarks. The Que River Project is a previously mined open pit and underground multi element precious and base metal mine, with ores processed at the nearby Rosebery and Hellyer Mine processing plants. The Hellyer processing plant is currently operating in a tailings retreatment capacity, whilst Rosebery is currently owned and operated by MMG Ltd. Both are capable of producing multi element sulphide concentrates that can be shipped to smelters through the port of Burnie. This Production Target is based upon hypothetical estimates for costs and modifying factors. These factors are based upon estimates from prior and existing operations that are commensurate with this project. Costs are expected to be within 40% of actual. Processing costs have been completed based on what is expected for a process plant of this size and benchmarked against publicly available annual reports. Geotechnical slope analysis has been based upon what has currently been achieved as an Inter Ramp Angle for the PQ Pit. NSR Calculations have been completed based upon accepted values provided by Greenwing personnel. These are based upon historical factors from prior operations, and are hypothetical in nature, without confirmed contracts in place. Capital costs have been assumed to be negligible considering that the project has previously been operated, and all major infrastructure for mining is in place. What is not in place can be supported by contractors from nearby depots or operations. |
|
| Cut-off parameters | • The basis of the cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. |
A net smelter return calculation has been completed and populated within the block model. This calculation reflects the potential hypothetical value of each block after processing. The NSR calculation is as simple as a sum across all grade items of (grade of element x processing recovery x payability x metals price.) |

| Mining factors or assumptions |
• The method and assumptions used as reported in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study to convert the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve (i.e. either by application of appropriate factors by optimisation or by preliminary or detailed design). |
Small scale drill blast, truck and excavator open pit mining methods, for steep and undulating natural surface. Mine design has not been completed. However, costs have been used that benchmark against 120t class excavator and 100 tonne trucks. Costs are anticipated to be with 40% and commence at $5.92 per tonne mined at surface, to $6.37 per tonne at approximately 100m depth. |
| • The choice, nature and appropriateness of the selected mining method(s) and other mining parameters including associated design issues such as pre-strip, access, etc. |
Mine Design has not been completed. | |
| • The assumptions made regarding geotechnical parameters (e.g. pit slopes, stope sizes, etc), grade control and pre-production drilling. |
Mine Design has not been completed. Geotechnical IRA slope for optimisation purposes has been set at 47 degrees and is what has been achieved in the current PQ pit. |
|
| • The major assumptions made and Mineral Resource model used for pit and stope optimisation (if appropriate). |
Mine Optimisation was completed using Whittle software. Calculation of NSR was completed using the factors and prices in the table. Exchange rates of 0.65:1 (USD to AUD) have been applied post calculation of this factor. A reduction in NSR by 40% has been applied to make contingency allowances on the project. These include but should not be limited to penalties for treatment charges, freight of ore to a concentrator, legacy rehabilitation costs and water treatment costs. All in ore costs, are $30 per ore tonne. Review of the All-in waste mining costs have been estimated as between $5.90 and $6.30 per tonne, including drill and blast.

| for in the NSR reduction factor Capital costs are expected to be negligible due to existing infrastructure and toll treatment. Mine optimisation was run including the inferred portion of the resource. Cases have been run to test sensitivity to costs, modifying factors and NSR. Application of conservative values for modifying factors has been conducted to test limits of the project. The project is sensitive to NSR the most. |
||
| • The mining dilution factors used. |
Dilution factors are considered as part of the ore block model process. The model has been reblocked to an SMU size of 5x2.5x5m (x,y,z). Dilution factors of up to 20% were tested as part of the optimisation process. |
|
| • The mining recovery factors used. |
Mining recovery has been set to 95% of the reblocked SMU size and tested at 90% as a sensitivity. |
|
| • Any minimum mining widths used. |
Pit Design has not been completed and minimum mining widths have not been applied. |
|
| • The manner in which Inferred Mineral Resources are utilised in mining studies and the sensitivity of the outcome to their inclusion. |
Inferred resource category material has been included in this study. The study has not been used to generate an Ore Reserve under the reporting guideline. The production Target contains approximately 5% inferred resource category. |
|
| • The infrastructure requirements of the selected mining methods. |
The project has been previously operated. Infrastructure for mining is generally in place. Additional offices and crib rooms may be required. Fuel cells and temporary workshop facilities will need to be mobilized. Explosives can be sourced from the regional depots. Power and water are supplied to the site. Haul roads and Rom pads are already in place on site. Personnel will be sourced locally. Any temporary accommodation requirements can be supplied at nearby towns. |
|
| Metallurgical factors or assumptions |
• The metallurgical process proposed and the appropriateness of that process to the style of mineralisation. |
Mineralisation from Que River has previously been treated at Hellyer Concentrator. The concentrator produces base and precious metal concentrates from sulphide ores that can then be shipped to smelters. |

| • Whether the metallurgical process is well-tested technology or novel in nature. |
The technology is proven. | |
| • The nature, amount and representativeness of metallurgical test work undertaken, the nature of the metallurgical domaining applied and the corresponding metallurgical recovery factors applied. |
No additional test work has been undertaken. | |
| • Any assumptions or allowances made for deleterious elements. |
Deleterious elements are only considered through the payability factor on the NSR calculations. |
|
| • The existence of any bulk sample or pilot scale test work and the degree to which such samples are considered representative of the ore body as a whole. |
Ores were treated at Hellyer and Rosebery during the 1990’s and up to 2010. |
|
| • For minerals that are defined by a specification, has the ore reserve estimation been based on the appropriate mineralogy to meet the specifications? |
No minerals defined by a specification for this study. | |
| Environmental | • The status of studies of potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. Details of waste rock characterisation and the consideration of potential sites, status of design options considered and, where applicable, the status of approvals for process residue storage and waste dumps should be reported. |
Mining approvals will need to be completed. It is the aim of this study to investigate the options for waste generation to enable backfilling of the existing QR32 pit to mitigate environmental risk This concept may succeed however further studies are required. Processing will be completed off site so no tailings or other long term waste storage will be required. All mine waste generated will be used for backfilling of voids. |
| Infrastructure | • The existence of appropriate infrastructure: availability of land for plant development, power, water, transportation (particularly for bulk commodities), labour, accommodation; or the ease with which the infrastructure can be provided, or accessed. |
General clean up and grading earthworks will be required to re-establish site and access roads, rom pads, go lines, fuelling and workshop areas. Fuel could be supplied through a trans tank fuel farm which is simple to install. Explosives as required can be supplied by contractor. |
| Costs | • The derivation of, or assumptions made, regarding projected capital costs in the study. |
Capital costs have been excluded from the study, however at this time are expected to be limited to mobilisation costs, offices, workshop and fuel farm. Roads and electricity supply are already in place. |
| • The methodology used to estimate operating costs. |
Mining Cost are based on recently published mining cost for operations using the same equipment in similar size open pit operations. The benchmark costs have then been adjusted for depth. The costs are |

| • Allowances made for the content of deleterious elements. |
Smelting and Refining costs include removal of impurities during that process. |
|
| • The source of exchange rates used in the study. |
A general exchange rate of 0.65:1 has been used for USD to AUD conversion. |
|
| • Derivation of transportation charges. |
Gold doré bars will be produced on site. Transport costs are included in the charges supplied by the refining company. |
|
| • The basis for forecasting or source of treatment and refining charges, penalties for failure to meet specification, etc. |
Net Smelter Return (NSR) has been calculated based on generally accepted but hypothetical smelter payability and recovery factors. These factors need to be adjusted once commercial terms can be achieved. Current metals prices have been reduced by 40% to allow for potential metals price reductions, additional freight charges, risk associated with smelter returns and rehabilitation and other legacy costs. |

The operation is expected to operate at a processing rate of 700 ktpa. The operation is expected to be complete within 12 months. Economic analysis was limited to the Whittle optimisation revenue factor shells. No mine design or scheduling work was completed to allow for further economic modelling. The scope of this report was to test for potential viability of further work and investigate if sufficient material could be generated to develop conceptual studies for rehabilitation of the site. |
| • NPV ranges and sensitivity to variations in the significant assumptions and inputs. |
Sensitivity analysis was included in the Whittle optimisations. Tested inputs included pit wall angle, mining and ore costs, metal price, and model dilution. The project was found to be most sensitive to metals prices.. |

o The status of governmental agreements and approvals critical tothe viability of the project, such as mineral tenement status, and government and statutory approvals. There must be reasonable grounds to expect that all necessary Government approvals will be received within the timeframes anticipated in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility study. Highlight and discuss the materiality of any unresolved matter that is dependent on a third party on which extraction of the reserve is contingent. |

No Ore Reserves Generated. No Audits completed. |
| Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence |
• Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Ore Reserve estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the reserve within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors which could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate. o The statement should specify whether it relates to global or localestimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used. |
No reserve has been generated. The resource block models from which the Production Target has been derived was based on a geostatistical estimation completed by Mr John Horton who is satisfied with the resource categories quoted. No statistical quantification of confidence limits has been generated. Through Whittle optimisation, the Production Target is most sensitive to unfavourable changes in NSR values. Consequently, this is a conservative estimate for a Production Target by using a significant reduction factor for NSR. Mining dilution has been tested to benchmarks for global values. |
o Accuracy and confidence discussions should extend to specificdiscussions of any applied Modifying Factors that may have a material impact on Ore Reserve viability, or for which there are remaining areas of uncertainty at the current study stage. |
Further work will need to be completed to progress this project to Prefeasibility level. Geotechnical studies, commercial sales and treatment agreements, and clarification on modifying factors for NSR calculations need to be completed. Social Licensing, Environmental and Rehabilitation |

Appendix 2 – Zinc Equivalent Calculations
The Mineral Resource is reported at a 5% ZnEq cut-off where:
ZnEq = Zn + 0.7 Pb +2.1 Cu +0.04 Ag + 3.3 Au
Que River is predominantly considered a zinc-lead mine, however considerable value is associated with gold andsilver grades as well as some copper which can combine to be as value or more valuable than zinc-lead. Hence a zinc equivalent cut-off is required to ensure value of copper, gold and silver areas are not overlooked.
Rosebery ore processing performs similar to Que River. The published Rosebery combined recovery and payability values (source HKEX:MMG 23 January 2025) provide factors consistent with that expected for a standalone processing Que River operation. High factors of around 6 for Cu and Au grades reflect the relatively high current metal prices for Cu, Au and Ag and generally higher smelter payability. These factors include the data in Table 1 below.
However, toll treatment may not provide the same opportunities as an owner operated processing plant. The combined recovery, concentrate payability and milling cost used by the Company in 2009 for toll treatment at the Rosebery mill were lower as they included processing costs but also flatter payability across the commodities. It is these less optimistic equivalence assumptions and factors that are applied at this stage of the project review are outlined in Table 2 below.

Table 1: published Rosebery combined recovery and payability values
| Element | Metalprice | Metalprice | Priceper ore tonne | Priceper ore tonne | Bass Metals Contract | Bass Metals Contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD | Unit | USD | Unit | Payability | Zn Factor | |
| Zn | 2800 | t | 28 | 10kg | 39.5% | 1.0 |
| Pb | 2000 | t | 20 | 10kg | 38.5% | 0.7 |
| Cu | 9300 | t | 93 | 10kg | 25% | 2.1 |
| Au | 2800 | oz | 90 | g | 40% | 3.3 |
| Ag | 31 | oz | 1.0 | g | 40% | 0.04 |
Table 2: Assumptions applied
The total payability adopted at this stage is based on the most conservative option using combined mill cost, smelter returns & charges and mill recovery factors achieved by the Company under toll treatment contract in 2009 during the last phase of mining at Que River with toll treatment at the Rosebery concentrator.
Metal prices assumed this review include the 3 month LME contract price for base metals or last three month Kitco average price for precious metals.
Based on this information it is the Company’s opinion that the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
