ASX RELEASE I 20 FEBRUARY 2025

Highlights

  • Capital development has now extended 20m vertically into the Nova Zone (1148m RL). Availability of single boom ore development rapidly increasing and production ramp up now underway.

  • 1190 development headings will access the Austral, Mawson and Bass Lodes within the next four weeks and continue the Tasma development already underway.

  • Dukes Reef intercepted as expected in the decline, representing the extension of a high-grade shoot, previously mined on the 1190m RL. First ore sampling returned 40 g/t gold.

  • Diamond drilling is ongoing

  • Mill Foundation rehabilitation works and tailings lift (TSF5 Lift D) complete

Kaiser Reef Limited (“Kaiser” or “the Company”) is pleased to detail recent progress as it transitions from a primary focus on development into the Nova Zone, into combined development and increasing ore production. This planned shift is supported by improved access to ore zones established by the recent decline development performance.

Kaiser remains focused on development in the Nova Zone and moving beyond the past 30 years of mining remnant ore. Operating almost continuously since 1861, the A1 Gold Mine historically yielded approximately 800 ounces of gold per vertical metre, with some levels surpassing 1,000 ounces per vertical metre, an established benchmark for significant gold mines.

In contrast, modern remnant mining over the last three decades has seen production limited to less than 237 ounces per vertical metre at the A1 mine, with the highest grades having been previously exploited. The important implication is that Kaiser expects to recover significantly more gold per vertical meter than before, and potentially at higher grades.

Development and Production Update

Development of the decline has reached 1148mRL, which is now over 20m vertically into the Nova Zone.

==> picture [596 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

The decline has intersected the Dukes Reef which indicated positive grade results with one 40g/t* gold grab sample from decline development material. This was soon followed by development through the Tasma and Orion Lodes below the 1150m RL horizon (see Figures 1a, 1b and 2). Observed indicator minerals (certain sulphide species such as bournonite and chalcopyrite) and face sampling results provide evidence of gold bearing potential.

Development of the 1150 Access and 1148 Sump is now complete and reconfiguration of the lower mine dewatering system is currently underway to enable final dewatering of the old workings on the 23 Level plat/crosscut. Dewatering is scheduled to commence within two weeks. Dewatering of the old workings has been ongoing as the mine worked through remnants and this final stage, when completed, will mark another milestone as we transition to the Nova Zone.

The initial 1150 Access development has also enabled recommencement of development on the 1165mRL horizon with extension of the access across the dyke to be followed by strike development of the Tamsa and Orion Lodes starting by the end of February.

Final dewatering will open up access for single boom jumbo development on the 1190-490 heading to the Austral, Mawson and Bass lodes accessed via an un-named reef in the next four weeks and we are expecting to see some high-grade faces based on drilling.

The development will shortly pass the 1140mRL level which will permit a return to the 1150mRL horizon, which is being established as a sill pillar. Development of the Dukes, Tasma and Orion lodes along with extension of the primary ventilation circuit into the Nova zone will commence in approximately six weeks. The Tasma Reef strike drive being developed on the 1150 Access returned an average grade of 5.7 g/t at the location illustrated in Figures 4a and 4b.

This increased availability of development headings on lode structures is a rewarding result of recent capital advance and will lead to an increase in both metres achieved and subsequent ore tonnage in the coming months.

Ventilation works in the upper portion of the mine have been completed with positive results, the 7 level fans now moving close to 100m³/s nearly doubling the previous movement and also showing improvement to the lower mine flows. The work has helped identify the next major items of work required, namely the excavation of vent rises to bypass a section of the old workings that has now been confirmed as a bottle neck to improved ventilation for the lower mine. It is expected this work will commence during February.

In parallel to this, Flinders Reef stoping has continued on the 1200mRL horizon with stope grades averaging above 8g/t gold and recent sample results providing very encouraging returns, one grab sample returning a 4,700g/t gold (see Figure 5).

Diamond Drilling has continued from the 1200mRL in the southern area of the mine with encouraging results from both above and into the Nova zone.

Figure 5. 1200-635 Flinders Reef Stope area with location of high-grade sample (429576.7mE, 5848609.6mN, 1194.7mRl)

On completion of the dewatering system re-configuration the relocation of the Diamond Rig to SP25 will take advantage of a short drilling window in the central portion of the Dyke. A program of steep holes down the dyke will be undertaken giving a look at potential mineralisation well into the Nova zone in the central area.

Availability of Stockpile 27 as a drilling platform for the drilling of the Northern portion of the Nova zone will be available once strike drive development of the 1165mrl has advanced sufficiently for internal level stockpile availability. This is scheduled to occur late into March.

Diamond Drilling

Drilling is currently ongoing within the prepared drill corridors (Figure 6), and has had early success in identifying multiple mineralised interpreted new reef systems. Recent drilling results have returned a 100% rate of encountering mineralisation and include:

  • A1UDH567: 0.20m @ 65.1 g/t gold from 24.7m and 0.40m @ 40.9 g/t gold from 46.9m

  • A1UDH568: 0.80m @ 32.7 g/t gold from 28.4m

  • A1UDH569: 0.50m @ 18.3 g/t gold from 97.1m

Processing Plant Initiatives

Toll Treatment

The Maldon Gold processing Plant is increasing the identified toll treatment opportunities under Ore Purchase Agreements, with several parties now delivering material to Maldon for treatment.

Tailings Lift

From December 2024 to February 2025, Kaiser completed the constructing of the next lift of our tailings storage facility, TSF5 Lift D, with earthworks being completed by our civil partners Slingo's Earthmoving. This lift will be completed in 2 stages, with the first portion, adding the borrow pit area to the tails dam footprint and raising the rest of the dam 300mm being completed last week (Figure 7). The lift is a combination of predominantly upstream construction around the majority of the dam and a small section of downstream construction around the borrow pit. Once the second stage is complete, it will give us a further 220kt of tailings capacity.

Mill Foundation Rehabilitation

After nearly 40 years of operation, our mill foundations were a little worse for wear. Chemical attack and age had caused some significant deterioration and spalling of the concrete on the plinths holding up the SAG mill. Given they hold up approximate 100t, we engaged an engineer to assess the damage and design a remediation program. Whilst the foundations were still structurally sound, failing to address the issues could of lead to a failure in the future.

We have now removed the deteriorated concrete and replaced with a high strength 90mpa specialised concrete. The foundations are now stronger than ever and look great (Figure 8).

northwest-southeast trending series of folds.

Gold mineralisation is most abundant in
quartz veins associated within reef
structures, typically dilationally brecciated
shear zones with branching stringer veins
which define two or three vein sets.

Gold mineralisation is hosted within the A1
dyke as auriferous pyrite.

Gold at the A1 Mine has an association with
sphalerite, bournonite, tetrahedrite, pyrite
and chalcopyrite.
Drillhole Information
A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drillholes:
o easting and northing of the
drillhole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in

No new drill results being reported.

metres) of the drillhole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and
interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Data aggregation methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be
stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

Assays length weighted.

No metal equivalents have been reported.

Grade control samples represent fired ore
headings as multiple grabs from broken ore.

Arithmetic means of samples determines
grades of active ore headings which is used
as part of the mine production reconciliation
process.

Appropriate cut-off grades are applied to
moderate the affect of nuggetty gold in
samples.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drillhole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g., ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _

The geometry of the mineralisation is
explained within the text and shown is the
figures.

Mineralisation widths are based on sampling
of discrete narrow vein structures <1m in
width and or other discrete structures within
lithological units determined by the
supervising geologist.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drillhole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.

Refer to Figures in text.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths

All results have been reported.

should be practiced avoiding
misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Other substantive exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.

No other data to report.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g., tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.

The current drilling program will be
completed in Q2 2025.
