MARDA GOLD PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

LEEUWIN MAKES STRONG START TO 2026 AGGRESSIVE EXPLORATION UNDERWAY

Numerous high-grade rock chip samples highlight scope for strong growth and new discoveries; New drill program progressing rapidly, first assays expected in February

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Multiple rock chip samples have assayed +10g/t, highlighting the significant high-grade potential of the Mt King Prospect (Marda North), significant results include:

  • 39.9g/t Gold (MRRK00213)

  • 25.8g/t Gold (MRRK00186)

  • 19.85g/t Gold (MRRK00216)

  • 13.4g/t Gold (MRRK00205)

  • RC drilling is underway at Evanston to test shallow extensions and down-dip EM anomalies; with first assays expected in February 2026

  • Exploration Manager appointed to drive exploration across Leeuwin’s portfolio

  • Strategic reviews of the Cross Lake Lithium Project and William Lake Ni-PGE Project, in Canada

  • Leeuwin is well funded to support its accelerated exploration program at Marda

Leeuwin Metals Ltd ( Leeuwin or the Company ) ( ASX: LM1 ) is pleased to announce significant results from the Mt King Prospect at its Marda Gold Project ( Marda ), north of Southern Cross in Western Australia. Work programs supports Leeuwin’s strategy to identify new discoveries and grow resources. Drilling at Evanston is aimed at growing the existing Resource of 135,800oz (comprising Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.5Mt @ 1.0g/t Au for 49,200oz and Inferred Mineral Resources of 2.8Mt @ 0.97g/t Au for 86,600oz); refer ASX announcement dated 10 December 2025, with drilling ongoing and initial samples dispatched to Perth for assay.

Leeuwin Executive Chairman, Christopher Piggott, said:

“2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for LM1 shareholders, with multiple exploration programs underway across Marda. Drilling is currently in full swing at Evanston, where we are targeting expansion of the existing Evanston Mineral Resource along the 1.6 km trend. Down Hole EM will be completed on these holes with the aim of identifying new anomalies and potential extensions of the resource.

Mt King rock chip assays further highlight the strong exploration upside of the project, where multiple +10g/t samples have been returned from numerous workings. Throughout 2026, one of our key focus’ will be on building a robust pipeline of high quality targets outside the current resources. With the appointment of an Exploration Manager, we are well positioned to systematically advance new areas, with the clear objective of delivering new discoveries and long-term shareholder value.”

Mt King Geology

Mt King mineralisation is hosted in high grade veins that cross-cut a steeply-dipping SE striking BIF/Chert units that sits within a mafic-ultramafic package. Recent exploration by Leeuwin and previous explorers has identified the potential for a compelling high grade quartz lodes with historical drilling returning significant exploration results, these include (refer ASX announcement dated 20 December 2024):

  • 15m @ 7.47g/t gold from 120m (MKC003)

  • 4m @ 7.27g/t gold from 70m (MKC006)

Ongoing exploration at Mt King will focus on further surface sampling and mapping, with drilling planned in 2026.

APPENDIX C: JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

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 downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
The rock chips referred to in this report were collected by LM1 employees; The
samples were collected opportunistically when potentially mineralised rocks were
observed. All samples were photographed.
Rock chip samples were collected from outcrop, float, and mullock material across
target areas. Samples were selective in nature and are not necessarily representative
of the overall mineralisation.
Surface grab samples were collected from disturbed material including mullocks and
shaft spoil around historical workings at Evanston. These were opportunistic and non-
systematic, designed to confirm the presence of gold mineralisation along strike
extensions. They are not representative of in-situ mineralisation.
No new drill results are being reported in this release.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
All sampling by conventional gold industry methods.
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.
Rock chip samples were taken across a broad range of rock types and areas to increase
the understanding of the geology. Samples collected in the field typical 1-3kgs and
sent to the laboratory for analysis.
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.).
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
No applicable no new drilling results being reported.
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.
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Logging 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.
Samples were collected and described, this information was imported into a database.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature.
Core
(or
costean,
channel,
etc.)
Logging of rock chips is qualitative on visual recordings of rock forming minerals &
estimates of mineral abundance.

Samples were aimed towards understanding the overall average grade of material.
Initial samples were taken to gain an understanding of the overall grade.
QAQC protocols are adhered to.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
Sample sizes are generally appropriate for material types being sampled.
Rock chip and grab samples were typically 1–3 kg, which is considered appropriate for
the style of material.
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.
Leeuwin Metals utilises ALS with the assay method of a 40-50g Fire Assay to give total
contained gold.
Recent assaying (+2019) has all been by commercial laboratories including ALS, SGS,
KalAssay and Genalysis, typically by 40-50g Fire Assay to give total contained gold.
Earlier assaying includes a number of techniques and laboratories and details are often
incomplete or unknown.
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.
No geophysical tools or portable XRF instruments were utilised.
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.
Leeuwin Metals Ltd uses certified reference material for current results with CRMs,
blanks and duplicates used on general industry best practise. The laboratory has its
standard QA/QC protocols including laboratory CRMs, blanks and duplicates to
monitor laboratory performance. No material issues on QA/QC of rock samples are
noted.
Recent assaying (+2019) has had QAQC measures including certified reference
standards, field duplicates, blank samples and umpire laboratory check samples
carried out for all deposits and shows acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. For
older data reports and tables exist, referencing similar QAQC methods, however
detailed information is incomplete or lacking for the majority of old data.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The Competent person has verified significant results.
The use of twinned holes. Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
All recent data has been documented in digital format, verified and stored by the
Company.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments were made to the assay data.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drillholes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Samples were collected with a handheld GPS with the collar location recorded in a
digital database.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control is based on government topographic maps and GPS. This method
of topographic control is deemed adequate.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Due to the stage of the Project the sample spacing is appropriate.
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
Sample spacing is considered sufficient to establish geological and grade continuities
for reporting exploration results.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Compositing has not been applied for reporting.
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.
Rock chip sampling is only point samples and as such is not effected by orientations.
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.
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are secured within calico bags on site before being sent directly to the
laboratory for assay. Leeuwin Metals ltd sampling: Samples were collected, sorted and
placed in polywoven bags and transported to Perth ALS Laboratory in a company
vehicle. Laboratory assays are sent directly to CORE Geoscience Pty Ltd, a private data
services provider who merges assays with sample points into a relational database.
All recent (+2019) samples have been collected by Ramelius geological staff. Samples
are transported to the laboratory by commercial transport companies. The laboratory
receipts received samples against the sample dispatch documents and issues a
reconciliation report for every sample batch.

The Marda Gold Project is entirely within the Marlinyu Ghoorlie claim area. The
claim was filed with the Federal Court (WAD647/2017) on the 22 December
2017 and was entered on the register of the National Native Title Tribunal
(WC2017/007) on the 28 March 2019, the claim has been under review through
Federal Court proceedings, has not yet been finalised.
Please refer to ASX release dated December 20, 2024 for historical information
relating to the tenure.
The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Marda area discovered in late 1800's. Minor historical workings mainly a Dolly
Pot deposit. Modern exploration by Chevron 1980's, Cyprus Gold 1990's, Savage
Resources late 1990's and Southern Cross Goldfields/Black Oak Minerals from
2011-2014. Ramelius acquisition & drilling 2019 with production between 2019
and 2023.
Evanston was first discovered and mined by prospectors in the 1930’s. Modern
exploration by occurred in the late 1980’s and 1990’s primarily by Nobel
Resources where RC and RAB drilling occurred. With small scale mining
occurring at Evanston between 1998-2000. No significant exploration has
occurred since.
The Mt King Prospect is located within the lower sequence of the Marda–
Diemals Greenstone Belt, dominated by mafics–ultramafics, BIF and chert, and
has a long history of high-grade gold results from surface and drilling. Early work
by Aztec Exploration (1986) Southern Cross Exploration (1989), Broken Hill
Metals (1988–89) Cyprus Exploration (1991–93) identified gold mineralisation
associated with quartz ± sulphide veining within BIF and sheared mafic rocks.
Drilling by Gondwana Resources/Savage Australian Exploration (1998)
confirmed the continuity and tenor of mineralisation, with hole MKC3 of 15m
@ 7.47g/t Au from 120m, demonstrating the strong exploration potential of the
Mt King system.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
Mineralisation is likely controlled by shear zones/fault zones passing through
competent BIF rock units, hosted with mafic/ultramafic stratigraphy. Gold is
associated with pyrite alteration in brecciated BIF, +/- quartz. Deep weathering
has likely generated supergene enhancement of gold at shallow to moderate
depths. Recent work by Leeuwin demonstrates the potential for high grade gold
quartz vein systems to be present outside of the typical BIF associated
mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 drillholes:

easting and northing of the drillhole
collar

elevation or RL (elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drillhole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

downhole length and interception depth
hole length.
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
Please refer to Table 2 of the release for co-ordinates relevant to published
results.
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.
All rock chip results have been reported.
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.
All sample results have been reported including those with no significant
results.
All assay results, including both low- and high-grade samples, have been
reported in full (refer Table 2).
Rock chip and grab samples are selective in nature and may not be
representative of the overall mineralisation.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
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., ‘downhole length, true width not
known’).
Not applicable no new drilling results being reported.
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.
Exploration plans and diagrams are included in the body of this release as
deemed appropriate by the Competent Person.
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.
All sample results have been reported including those with no significant
results. All assay results, including both low- and high-grade samples, have been
reported in full (refer Table 2). Rock chip and grab samples are selective in
nature and may not be representative of the overall mineralisation.
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.
All relevant and material exploration data for the target areas discussed, has
been reported or referenced.
Surface grab samples and tailings samples provide useful geological context and
help to define new exploration targets.
Further systematic sampling and drilling are required to assess grade continuity
and mineralisation potential.
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).
Please refer to the body of this release, noting further exploration is warranted
across the project.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commerciallysensitive.
Where relevant this information has been provided. Please refer to the body of
this release.
