Australian Securities Exchange Announcement 24 March 2026

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

King River Resources Ltd (ASX: KRR) (“KRR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has successfully exercised the option to acquire the Mindoolah Gold Project (“Mindoolah” or the “Project”), located 70km north-west of Cue in the highly prospective Murchison Province of Western Australia (Figure 2).

Highlights

  • Securing the Source: KRR exercises the option to acquire the Mindoolah Gold Project, shifting focus to a high conviction "Intrusive Source" model.

  • High-Priority 1.6km Target: Identification of a massive magnetic anomaly interpreted as the potential primary source of known high-grade gold mineralisation in the district.

  • Proof of Concept at Surface: Rock chip grab sample MDS0155 (0.84 g/t Au) confirms the magnetic high is gold-bearing at the surface, supporting the intrusive-style model.

  • Unfinished Business: Historic drill hole MP4 , within the magnetic target, terminated in mineralisation ( 0.66 g/t Au ) at the water table; KRR views this as a "near-miss" into a potentially much larger, depth-persistent system.

  • Fast-Tracking Exploration: High-resolution geophysics to commence next month to "see through" the cover, pinpoint and orientate the heart of the 1.6km magnetic anomaly.

Managing Director, Graham Gadsby, commented:

"Exercising the option on Mindoolah is a high-conviction move for King River Resources. Our technical review has demonstrated that the Project’s potential extends well beyond the high-grade historic workings to include a significant, large-scale intrusive target. The 1.6km magnetic anomaly represents a major 'Value Gap' and it is a primary structural feature that remains untested at depth. With clear evidence of gold mineralisation at surface directly over this anomaly, we are moving to refine our targets with high-resolution geophysics next month. We are excited to deploy modern exploration techniques to finally reveal the true scale of this compelling gold system and define the high-priority targets for our upcoming drilling programs."

Rationale for Exercise: “Chasing the Source”

The strategic decision to acquire the Mindoolah Project is driven by a shift in geological interpretation. While historic mining focused on distal, high grade narrow quartz reefs, KRR is also now planning on targeting the proximal source.

The Working Hypothesis: The 1.6km magnetic high (Figure 1) is interpreted by KRR as a Monzogranite Intrusion that acted as the primary conduit and source for mineralising fluids.

The Model: We believe the historically mined high-grade reefs are the "fingers" of a potentially much larger mineralised system. The magnetic anomaly represents the "palm" of a potential bulk-tonnage target source.

The Evidence: Rock chip grab sample MDS0155 ; logged with the presence of sheeted pale smoky quartz veins directly over the magnetic peak with gold grades of 0.84 g/t Au strongly suggests we are sitting on top of the source.

Drill Hole MP4: Logging 47m of kaolinised granite with quartz veining[2] confirms the intrusive host is fertile. Ending in mineralisation, 0.66 g/t Au suggests the system remains open and potentially strengthens at depth below the zone of depletion. (The hole was ended due to water table interaction[2] ).

Key Technical Drivers

  • The Contact Zone: The magnetic high is interpreted as a monzogranite intrusion that has bifurcated the neighbouring Banded Iron Formation (BIF) to the southeast. This structural setting is a classic conduit for mineralising fluids.

  • Surface Confirmation: Surface rock chip grab sample MDS0155 , taken directly over this magnetic feature, returned 0.84 g/t Au within sheeted quartz veins — confirming the anomaly is gold-bearing at surface.

  • Untested Depth Potential: Historic RC hole MP4 , within the magnetic anomaly, terminated in mineralisation (0.66 g/t Au at 47m) due to water table interference[2] . The hole logged 47m of kaolinised granite with quartz veining, suggesting a large, mineralised system may sit beneath the weathered profile.

Project Geology

The Project area is situated within the Youanmi Terrane, encompassing a NNE to NE-trending stratigraphic sequence of mafic volcaniclastics, Banded Iron Formation (BIF), and amphibolite. This sequence exists in tectonic contact with the ENE-striking felsic volcaniclastics of the Wilgie Mia Formation. The regional architecture is truncated by the Mindoolah Monzogranite, a significant intrusive body belonging to the Baldrock Supersuite[5] .

Historic Gold Occurrences

The Mindoolah Monzogranite, gold mineralisation is historically documented at the Mindoolah Mining Centre (Figure 3) within the monzogranite as high-grade quartz reefs and stockworks, ranging from 1m to 5m in width. These systems are frequently associated with felsic porphyries hosted internally within the monzogranite[3] .

At the Kalahari Prospect (Figure 3), gold anomalism in historic RAB drilling is hosted within quartz veining localized at the sheared rheological contacts between the BIF and the mafic volcaniclastic units[4] .

Appendix 2: King River Resources Limited JORC 2012 Table 1

The following section is provided to ensure compliance with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of exploration results: MINDOOLAH PROJECT – HISTORICAL DRILLING SECTION 1 : SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

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.
All data presented herein are from past exploration activities prior to King River Resources
involvement and have been obtained from open file WAMEX reports. Samples are all from early-
stage exploration work comprising surface soil and rock chip grab and trench samples, as well as
rotary air blast (RAB), Aircore (AC), reverse circulation percussion (RC) and diamond core (DDH)
drilling.
For early-stage exploration projects the quality of past data is considered fit for purpose.
All references to mineralisation are taken from reports and documents prepared
by previous explorers and have been reviewed by King River Resources and considered to be fit
for purpose.
All data presented herein are historical and King River Resources is undertaking a full validation
of the nature and quality of the sampling completed.
Sampling
Techniques
(continued)
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
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.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open<hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face<sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Various drill types have been used previously including aircore (AC), rotary air blast (RAB),
reverse circulation percussion (RC) and diamond coring (DDH).
At this time, hole diameters and detailed information regarding drilling has not
been compiled, and for early-stage exploration projects the quality of past data is considered fit
for purpose.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed,
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
King River Resources is undertaking validation of the data to determine whether this information
has been collected in full. Only limited data is available in the open file reports addressing these
criteria.
However, for early-stage grass roots exploration projects, the absence of this information is not
considered material.
Logging o Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
o Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc.) photography.
o The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
All holes were geologically logged to varying degrees of detail.
King River Resources is undertaking verification of the quality and level of detail of the geological
logging data and formatting into an appropriate format.
Sub<sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
o If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
o If non<core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and
whether sampled wet or dry.
o For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
o Quality control procedures adopted for all sub<sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
o 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.
o Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
It is believed that core has been cut and sampled according to industry standard (half core).
Various sampling methods have been employed previously for non-core drilling. As discussed
above, the absence of detailed information on this criteria is not considered material to an
assessment of early-stage exploration potential.
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
The sample preparation and assay method used is considered standard industry practice and
is appropriate for the style of the deposits post 2023. Both Photon and Fire assay were used at
ALS and INTERTEK (ASX:WSR 2024). Pre-2023 the lab assay methods include Aqua-Regia and
ICP-MS/OES for Soils and whole rock samples.
None of the previous reports that have been reviewed by King River Resources to
date specified the use of any spectrometers or handheld XRF tools.
As discussed above, the absence of detailed information on these criteria is not considered
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc.,
the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels

of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. material to an assessment of early-stage exploration potential and planning exploration
activities.
Later exploration activities 2023-2025 have best practice with the inclusion of standards and
blanks.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
Significant intersections are calculated by experienced personnel with these intersections being
checked by peers.
The use of twinned holes. KingRiver Resources isyet to twin any previous work.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
(continued)
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
King River Resources received an access database of all historic data. This is yet to be
converted to industry preferred software package.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments or calibrations will be made to any primary assay data collected for the purpose
of reporting assay grades and mineralised intervals.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down<hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.
Disclaimer: Historic drilling and soils/rock chip sampling is presumed to be on a hand held GPS.
There is no Mineral Resource estimate so this is considered adequate at this stage of preliminary
exploration.
Specification of the grid system used. Grid system – GDA 1994 MGA Zone 50.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The local topography in the area is flat and nominal RLs or RLs taken from handheld GPS are
assumed to have been used previously.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Various data spacing has been used at Mindoolah by previous explorers.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
Drilling at the Project is at the exploration stage and mineralisation has not yet demonstrated to
be sufficient in both geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications to be applied.
Soil Sampling: Not applicable.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sampling compositing has been applied within key mineralised intervals.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
The orientation of controlling structures has not been fully determined, and a variety of drill
orientations has been used previously.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
The relationship between drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures cannot be addressed due to insufficient data at this stage.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. Due to the historical nature of the data, this has not and may not be determinable. King River
Resources believes that none of the historical samples have been preserved.
There are no concerns about sample security or possible tampering with historical samples.
Audits or
Reviews
The results of ay audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. Data interpretation and review is ongoing.

Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The Mindoolah Project comprises granted leases: E 20/985, P 20/2444, P 20/2445 and
Application ELA 20/1088 located approximately 70km northwest of Cue in Western Australia,
within the Shire of Cue. King River Resources Ltd, through its 100% owned subsidiary
Auradoolah Pty Ltd has exercised its option to acquire the Mindoolah Gold Project tenure, as
detailed in this announcement.
The Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation is the native title representative body to the native
title holders over the area covering E20/985, P20/2444, P20/2445and Application ELA

Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Mindoolah Gold Project:
The Mindoolah Gold Project which includes The Mindoolah Mining Centre (MMC) has a long
history of historical mining and exploration (Figure 3). With mining reportedly starting from 1906.
From the 1980’s until 2025 the Mindoolah Mining Centre has been held by V & D Ridolfo Pty Ltd
(1980’s), Placer Exploration (1989 – 1990) – completing stream sediment sampling, gridding,
soil sampling and rock chip sampling with ground magnetics (not including MMC). Battle
Mountain Gold Company (1994 – 1996) also completed additional gridding, rock-chip sampling,
stream sediment and soil sampling west of the project (Kalahari, Saraha, Gobi, Atacama and
regional targets). This was followed up with mapping, Geophysics (IP and Magnetics), RAB and
RC. Westar Resources Ltd (2023-2025) completed rock-chip, trench and stockpile sampling,
mapping, heritage surveys and shallow RC drill holes.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Exploration at Mindoolah is targeting gold quartz reefs and stockwork in volcano-sedimentary
greenstone intruded by Archaean Granitoids within the Youanmi Terrane. Mindoolah
mineralisation is hosted within quartz veining and they are hosted within a felsic intrusive.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for
all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
o If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
Drill information reported in this announcement relates to KRR’s 2026 acquisition of Mindoolah
tenements and is Historic data collected from open file reports on WAMEX.
Historic drill information is presented in Table 2.
Tables 1 and 2 are RC, DD and Rock Chip only. AC and RAB are considered not material due to
lack of surveys and proven GPS location.

17

==> picture [843 x 92] intentionally omitted <==

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
Drill intersections:

Intersections calculated using a weighted average of grade vs metres.

Lower edge cut-off grade is 0.5 g/t as described by Table 2.
Also:
o
No metal equivalent calculations used.
o
No upper cuts used in intersection calculations.
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 downhole drill intersects in this report have been reported for samples >0.5g/t Au allowing
3m of internal waste.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results.
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 drill hole 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’). _
Down hole widths have been quoted in this report. Lack of data doesn’t support geometry of
mineralisation as of time of announcement, so true width is not known.
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 drill
hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to figures and tables herein and Appendices in this announcement.
Figure 1 shows Mindoolah Mining Centre Historic Rock Chip sample locations with samples dots
colour coded for gold g/t. It also shows the Government Magnetic Geophysics below.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Reports on recent exploration on all KRR projects can be found in ASX Releases that are
available on our website at kingriverresources.com.au. The exploration results reported are
representative of the mineralisation style with grades and/or widths reported in a consistent
manner.
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. _
Data provided in the announcement is the meaningful historic data that was provided from past
tenement operators.
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).
