“The outstanding gold and antimony results from both Sabre and Falchion Prospects, have significantly increased our confidence in both the scale and grade of gold and antimony mineralisation at Reynolds Range in the Northern Territory. We inherited a database of historical drill holes that has significant location errors, resulting in what appeared to be highly unpredictable mineralisation. This drilling was aimed at testing the predicted location of high grade mineralisation based on the corrected locations of historical holes. The results have increased our understanding of the orientation and thickness of mineralisation and the predictability has significantly improved setting the Company up for further success in follow up drill programs.”
– Managing Director Mike Schwarz –
Reynolds Range Project Background
The Reynolds Range project consists of four granted Exploration Licences (EL23655, EL23888, EL28083 and EL33881), 100% owned by iTech Energy Pty, Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of iTech Minerals Ltd. The project covers a total of 791km[2] of the Aileron Province, part of the Paleoproterozoic North Australian Craton and is subject to a joint venture with SQM International Pty Ltd who have the option to earn up to 70% of the lithium mineral rights on the project area. iTech retains the right to 100% of all other commodities. The Project is located 90-230km NNW of Alice Springs with access available from the Stuart Highway and then the un-sealed Mt Denison road. The project area is part of the >42km long Stafford Gold Trend with 50 kilometres of strike coincident with the Trans-Tanami regional structure.
No metallurgical work has been undertaken on the Sabre or Falchion Prospects requiring all gold and antimony results to be reported separately and not as gold equivalents. Because of this, two sets of results have been reported for each drill hole, one with a gold focussed cutoff and another with an antimony focussed cutoff, in an attempt to demonstrate the variability of gold and antimony concentrations throughout the mineralised systems.
Sabre Reverse Circulation Drilling
Analysis of historical drill holes at Sabre showed significant variation of recorded locations from that observed on ground (up to 15-20m) along with orientation of drill holes often at undesirable angles relative to mineralisation. This led to unpredictable continuity and thickness of mineralisation between drill holes of different drilling campaigns.
An initial, four reverse circulation (RC) drill hole program at Sabre was designed to:
-
correct these errors and to determine if mineralisation could be confidently predicted
-
test for subsurface expressions of antimony mineralisation beneath high grade gold and antimony rock chip samples
The results show a zone of high-grade gold and antimony mineralisation up to 30m thick, steeply dipping from near vertical to 85 degrees to the northeast. Mineralisation extends from surface to over 80m depth, is open, and increasing in both grade and thickness (Figures 2 and 3). Importantly, iTech was able to place the drill holes to accurately test the full thickness of the mineralised zone across two traverses. With consistent grade and thicknesses between drill holes within sections and across sections. This suggests that historical problems with inconsistency of mineralisation are most likely due to mislocated drill holes and not structurally complex mineralisation controls.
The new drill results and geological information at Sabre have enabled a much clearer understanding of the mineralising system and the potential for extensions both along strike and at depth. Follow up drilling is planned in 2026.

Falchion Reverse Circulation Drilling
An additional four drill holes were drilled at the nearby Falchion Prospect, just 1.5km to the northwest of Sabre.
Drilling was designed to test subsurface extensions of high-grade gold and antimony mineralisation identified in recent rock chip sampling (ASX: ITM 19 August 2025). Gold mineralisation was demonstrated to be continuous between all four drill holes across a strike extent of over 80m. Importantly grade and thickness of mineralisation appears to be improving from east to west, with the best results in the last hole drilled at Falchion with an outstanding high-grade intercept of:
- FLRC25-004 6m @ 10.2 g/t Au and 0.93% Sb from 18m
o including 2m @ 13.69 g/t Au and 1.47% Sb from 18m
Follow up drilling at Falchion is planned for the near future once all necessary drilling approvals have been received.

Lander and Pine Hill Reverse Circulation Drilling
An additional two holes were completed at the Lander Prospect, a further 600m to the north-west.
Narrow intervals of polymetallic alteration and mineralisation, with anomalous gold, silver, bismuth, arsenic and lead were intersected but no significant intervals were recorded. Potential remains at Lander with soil sampling planned for the near future to define additional drill targets.
The final two holes of the program were drilled at the Pine Hill Gold prospect where rock chips of up to 55g/t gold have been taken over a >1.5km long chargeability and resistivity anomaly defined by recent geophysical surveying by iTech (ASX: ITM 6 September 2024). No significant gold intervals were recorded at Pine Hill. Potential remains at Pine Hill with soil sampling planned for the near future to define additional drill targets.
Next Steps
The recently completed drill program at Sabre and Falchion shows that carefully planned drill holes drilled in the right orientation, at the right location, relative to mineralisation can produce thick, highgrade gold and antimony intersections consistently. Now that iTech has a much-improved understanding of the orientation, grade and thickness on mineralisation, the Company plans to undertake follow up drilling as soon as possible. Negotiations for site clearances for additional drilling have been initiated with the Central Land Council and planning for government approvals is underway. Once acquired, iTech will return to both Sabre and Falchion to test extensions to mineralisation both along strike and at depth. In the meantime, the Company plans to undertake detailed soil sampling along extensions to the structures hosting both Sabre and Falchion to define additional drill targets. The Company has recently acquired a detailed drone magnetic survey over the area, which will be released to market once interpretation is complete.

APPENDIX 2: JORC TABLE 1 REYNOLDS RANGE
SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| 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. |
Drilling was undertaken using a 5 ¾ inch diameter reverse |
| circulation (RC) drill bit, 1m samples were collected in green plastic bags. 1m subsamples for analysis were riffle split at the cyclone, and samples collected in calico bags representing individual metre intervals. RC drilling techniques were used to obtain 1m samples of the entire downhole length. Selection of 1m samples for analysis as opposed to 4m composites was based on visual logging of alteration supported by onsite pXRF analysis to identify pathfinder for gold mineralisation elements such as Aa, Bi, Ag, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn. |
||
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
RC sampling was collected in one metre intervals and riffle split to 3- |
|
| 4kg samples at the cyclone. 4m composites were taken by spear subsampling four individual 1m green plastic bags. RC samples are logged geologically, and all samples submitted for assay. Sample weights were inspected, and estimates are recorded on sample log sheets. The full length of each hole was sampled. Sampling was carried out under iTech’s protocols and QAQC procedures. Sample recovery estimates and sample moisture are recorded based on visual estimates. Drilling was terminated if samples were wet. No water compromised samples were reported in this program. Bag sequence is checked regularly by field staff and supervising geologist against a dedicated sample register. The cyclone and splitter were routinely cleaned. |
||
| 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 |
The nature of gold and antimony mineralisation could be variable | |
| and include high grade quartz veins, massive sulphide and disseminated sulphide typical of other deposits in the area. The orientation of mineralisation is not yet confirmed. Mineralisation shows a correlation to sulphide and veining, in particular pyrrhotite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite and quartz sulphide veining. Petrology has indicated that the gold mineralisation at Falchion and Sabre can be microcrystalline in nature (as fine as 10 µm). Sample preparation grind size of early historical samples assayed by atomic adsorption, using and aqua regia digest, is important to making the microcrystalline gold available to the solute for analysis. Typical coarse grind sizes of ~50-75 µm in standard sample preparation techniques may lead to a significant under reporting of the microcrystalline gold content of the samples. Later fire assay techniques should give a more accurate reporting of gold. iTech Minerals RC samples were submitted to Intertek Laboratories in Adelaide for preparation and then to Perth for analysis. All multielement samples were assayed using a four-acid digest which provides a near total dissolution of minerals. All samples were analysed for 48 elements and an additional 12 REEs by the 4A/MS method. Over limit samples were resubmitted for 4AHBr/OE and 4AHBr/MS to obtain accurate results of high-grade samples. All samples were also submitted for gold analysis using the FA50N/MS method which is considered a total digestion method. |

| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples |
Sampling was collected in a cyclone, and riffle split into calico | |
| sample bags. The cyclone and splitter were cleaned routinely with mechanical scraping and compressed air. The cyclone was emptied after each complete 6m drill rod and cleaned out every 5 rods (6m in length) to minimise any potential for contamination. Dust suppression was used to minimise sample loss. Drilling pressure airlifted the water column below the bottom of the sample interval to ensure dry sampling. |

Petrology has indicated that the gold mineralisation at Falchion can be microcrystalline in nature (as fine as 10 µm). Sample preparation grind size is important making the microcrystalline gold available to the solute for analysis. Typical coarse grind sizes of ~50-75 µm in standard sample preparation techniques may lead to a significant under reporting of the microcrystalline gold content of the samples. RC samples were submitted to Intertek Laboratories in Adelaide for preparation and then to Perth for analysis. All multielement samples were assayed using a four-acid digest which provides a near total dissolution of minerals. All samples were analysed for 48 elements and an additional 12 REEs by the 4A/MS method. Over limit samples were resubmitted for 4AHBr/OE and 4AHBr/MS to obtain accurate results of high-grade samples. All samples were also submitted for gold analysis using the FA50N/MS method which is considered a total digestion method. These methods are considered appropriate for this mineralisation style. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Field duplicates were taken over intervals logged as mineralised | |
| with sulphides previously identified as having a relationship with gold in the area. Field duplicates were taken at a percentage of ~1.8% for the entirety of the program in addition to certified reference material and blanks inserted on average at 1 in 20 samples. Field duplicates were collected in visibly mineralised zones. Standards and blanks were inserted every 20 samples. At the laboratory, regular repeat and laboratory check samples are assayed. |
||
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
Samples were split using a cyclone mounted riffle splitter, which | |
| was checked for each hole. Sample weights were monitored to ensure adequate sample collection was maintained. The riffle splitter provided some variability in sample weights from 2-4kg. Field duplicates were collected in visibly mineralised zones. |
||
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes are considered appropriate to give an indication of mineralisation given the particle size and preference to keep the sample weight below 4 kg to ensure the requisite grind size in a LM5 sample mill. |

The azimuth did not change significantly at Falchion throughout the drilling.

| 1994-1995 Poseidon Gold drilled 100 POST RAB holes averaging | ||
| 3.6m at 50m to 100m spacing into Scimitar from a larger 397-hole | ||
| program totalling 1,772m (RRAB532-RRAB928). 1994-1995 report | ||
| (A.T. Price, 1995). | ||
| 1995-1996 Poseidon Gold drilled 175 VAC holes (RAV0001- | ||
| RAV0175) over the Scimitar prospect from a larger program of | ||
| 602 holes for 2,976m. The Scimitar VAC holes were drilled at 50m | ||
| x 500m spacing and intercepted sericite altered sediments and | ||
| gossanous brecciated quartz veins. The drilling confirmed a strong | ||
| As, Pb and Zn anomaly with a weaker 1-16ppb Au anomaly. A | ||
| further 37 VAC holes (RCV0565-RCV0605) were drilled to the | ||
| southwest of Scimitar (Price, 1996). | ||
| 1996-1997 Normandy Gold took 49 composite lag samples | ||
| (sample 339551-339599) of -6 to +1 fraction over Scimitar at | ||

| 1998-1999 Exodus Minerals collected 5 rock chips and 5 soils | ||
| samples at Scimitar. Samples 5761RR, 5762RR and 5763RR | ||
| returned anomalous Au (62ppb, 38ppb, and 17ppb); As | ||
| (24,000ppm, 4,000ppm, and 4,700ppm); Pb (360ppm, 580ppm, | ||
| and 90ppm); and Sb (180ppm, 96ppm, and 102ppm). | ||
