Geophysical Kuniko has successfully completed the high-resolution MobileMT™ airborne geophysical survey at its Program Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project in New South Wales. Conducted by Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc., the program covered a total of 328 line-kilometres, achieving full contractual coverage across the Commonwealth–Silica Hill corridor, which follows the Nindethana Fault, a first-order structural suture zone that provides the regional framework for the VMS-style mineralisation at Commonwealth.

The survey was designed to detect discrete sulphide conductors and alteration zones at depth and to map key structural trends that control mineralisation across the Commonwealth–Silica Hill corridor. The resulting 3D resistivity models will help refine high-priority drill targets around known mineralisation and along strike. Data processing is underway, with final products expected later this month.

Kuniko acknowledges the support and cooperation of local landholders who enabled the successful completion of the program, ensuring safe and efficient operations throughout.

Geochemistry Field crews have now mobilised to commence systematic soil and rock-chip sampling at the Geenobby and Fieldwork prospect, with follow-on sampling work to be undertaken at Gladstone West area. The programs will collect approximately 630 soil samples across both prospects:

  • Geenobby Prospect (EL8252): 280 planned samples to test an area where historical rock chips, reported by Impact Minerals Ltd (ASX: IPT, 29 August 2023) , returned up to 9.5 g/t Au and 215 g/t Ag, with associated pathfinder elements including 745 ppm Bi, 519 ppm Mo, and 40 ppm Te, interpreted as supporting a possible epithermal system[1] .

  • Gladstone West Prospect (EL8505): 352 planned samples across a major two-kilometre magnetic destruction zone coincident with historical high-grade assays, reported by Impact Minerals Ltd (ASX: IPT, 29 August 2023) , of 9.9 g/t Au, 3.2% Cu, and 2,550 g/t Ag[1] .

These programs are designed to fulfil expenditure and work-commitment requirements under Kuniko’s joint-venture earn-in with Impact Minerals and to keep the exploration licences in good standing ahead of the next stage of work. The data will provide important surface geochemical vectors to guide near-term drill targeting and de-risk the initial drilling phase.

Drilling Kuniko has commenced negotiations with drilling contractors as part of preparations for its maiden drill Preparations program at the Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project.

The engagement process is competitive, with several contractors invited to tender based on capability, availability, and experience in the region.

Drilling will be designed to test extensions of known mineralisation at Commonwealth and Silica Hill and evaluate targets emerging from the ongoing geophysical and geochemical programs.

Kuniko is aiming for a rapid commencement, with mobilisation targeted for late 2025 or early 2026, subject to final data interpretation and site access arrangements.

Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project Overview

The Commonwealth Project lies ~100 km north of Orange, NSW, within the prolific Lachlan Fold Belt — a Tier-1 region hosting major operations such as Cadia–Ridgeway, North Parkes and Cowal (Refer: Figure 2).

The Project comprises:

  • Commonwealth deposit : a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style system containing gold, silver, zinc, lead and copper.

  • Silica Hill deposit : an epithermal/VMS hybrid system with high-grade silver-gold shoots within broader zones.

  • Regional upside : multiple untested targets including Silica Hill East, Geenobbys and Gladstone, where geophysical and geochemical anomalies remain untested by drilling.

Impact Minerals has previously noted that the Commonwealth mineral system shares geological characteristics with several globally recognised VMS–epithermal deposits, such as Eskay Creek in Canada, where precious metals are closely associated with volcanic-hosted sulphide mineralisation[2] . These analogies provide valuable context for Kuniko’s exploration approach while the Company continues to develop its own geological model specific to the Lachlan Fold Belt setting.

Impact Minerals has previously reported JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at both Commonwealth and Silica Hill (Refer: Impact Minerals ASX releases dated 2 September 2016, 1 February 2018 and 22 August 2019) . These estimates demonstrate the presence of significant gold and silver mineralisation within a broader system that remains open along strike and depth. Kuniko notes that it has not independently verified or adopted these estimates, and they should not be relied upon as Kuniko’s own. During Stage-1, Kuniko intends to undertake technical work and, if appropriate, validate and update the estimates through its own Competent Person.

With existing permits and landholder agreements in place, the Project is considered drill-ready, allowing rapid progression of exploration programs.

About Kuniko

Kuniko Limited (ASX: KNI) is a mineral exploration company advancing a diversified portfolio of strategic and critical mineral projects aligned with the global energy transition and economic security objectives. The Company’s portfolio now includes gold, silver and base metals in Australia alongside copper, nickel, and cobalt projects in the Nordics, and it is committed to high ethical and environmental standards for all company activities. Key assets include:

  • Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project (NSW, Australia): Binding earn-in and JV with Impact Minerals (ASX: IPT) to earn up to 70% of a VMS/epithermal gold-silver system in the Lachlan Fold Belt, hosting JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at Commonwealth and Silica Hill.

  • Ertelien Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project located in southern Norway, Ertelien hosts a JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate reported by Kuniko of 40Mt @ 0.25% NiEq, including 22Mt of Indicated and 18Mt of Inferred resources (Refer: ASX release dated 12 December 2024) *.

  • Ringerike Battery Metals Project: a license package hosting multiple Ni-Cu-Co-PGE targets across a 20km mineralised trend, anchored by the Ertelien deposit.

  • Skuterud Cobalt Project: has had over 1 million tonnes of cobalt ore mined historically and was once the world’s largest cobalt producer. Kuniko’s drill programs have seen multiple cobalt intercepts , including high grade from shallow depths, at the priority “Middagshvile” target.

  • Vågå Copper Project: A VMS-style copper project with large-scale geophysical anomalies and near-surface targets, including a prospective horizon with a known strike extent of ~9km. A further shallow conductor can also be traced for several kilometres.

Kuniko is committed to ethical sourcing and responsible development. Across all projects, Kuniko prioritises low-carbon operations, transparent stakeholder engagement, and alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Its Norwegian operations benefit from access to 98% renewable energy.

* Note: The individual average grades are 0.18% nickel, 0.12% copper, and 0.014% cobalt. Nickel equivalent (NiEq) was calculated using the formula: NiEq (%) = Ni% + (Cu% × 0.4091) + (Co% × 1.8182), based on metal prices of US$22,000/t Ni, US$9,000/t Cu, and US$40,000/t Co. Preliminary metallurgical test work conducted at SGS Canada indicates potential nickel recoveries of 70–75% and copper recoveries of up to 90%. The company believes, based on this work and comparison with similar deposits, that all metals used in the NiEq calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
