First significant drill program to occur at Evanston in 20 years

Leeuwin Metals Ltd ( Leeuwin or the Company ) ( ASX: LM1 ) is pleased to announce the commencement of a 5,000m RC drill program at the Evanston Mine at Marda Gold Project in Western Australia. The campaign focuses on priority near-surface targets and systematic testing along key structural trends. This is the first large-scale drill program at Evanston in 20 years. The program is strongly supported with a Drill for Equity arrangement in place to cover up to 30% of the drill cost.
Leeuwin Executive Chairman, Christopher Piggott, said:
“Our first drill program at Evanston is a major milestone for the Company. At Evanston, there is a long history of mining dating back to the 1930’s but with limited work having been completed at the project in 20 years, there remains an exciting opportunity to define a highgrade shallow system.
We look forward to updating the market as results come to hand over the coming weeks and months.”

Next steps
Leeuwin’s strategic focus remains on building momentum across multiple gold targets within the broader Marda Gold Project. Following the success of the initial drilling programs, the Company will continue systematically testing extensions of mineralisation along key structural trends while advancing its broader pipeline of gold prospects.
The next phase of activity is designed to build geological confidence, inform drill prioritisation, and unlock structural controls on mineralisation across key areas.
