EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SIMON ELEY:

“M3 Mining has started the year in the field advancing both of its prospective exploration projects in Western Australia and remained eagerly focused on progressing towards securing an advanced energy asset in the MENA region.

There was no delay to get out to Edjudina in 2025 with field crews mobilising in January to complete geochemical mapping exercises on two highly prospective gold prospects. At Broken Hill Bore, key pathfinders suggest mineralisation extends beyond the known historic workings, while at Old Plough Dam, a compelling geochemical and geological signature in the northeast corner indicates potential ‘Twin Peaks’ style gold mineralisation. These early-stage results provide a strong platform for focused follow-up programs as we continue to unlock value across our Edjudina tenements.

Shortly afterwards, our team was up at Victoria Bore following up on a widespread soil sampling program that was completed last year. The field exercises were following up on priority base metals, gold and REE targets generated from the soil survey. The team completed further work surrounding the area of a previously undisclosed base metals mine which will provide much needed geological context to the mineral occurrence. A new prospect was also uncovered that consists of a large area where the ground is highly disturbed and thought to of been done by prior prospectors who may have been targeting gold. The team awaits assay results from this trip and are eager to receive and report these to shareholders when they become available.

M3 Mining continues to assess strategic opportunities to diversify its portfolio, and further progress has been made towards securing an advanced energy asset in the MENA region, with discussions ongoing.

Looking ahead, the Company awaits assay results from Victoria Bore, alongside upcoming plans to further develop our gold prospects at Edjudina and further advance the Company’s plans in relation to the energy asset.”

Edjudina Gold Project

The Edjudina Project is located approximately 150km northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It covers a section of the established mineralised trend along the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone which hosts multiple significant gold discoveries (see Figure 1). No large-scale mining has occurred within the tenement area, however, historical near surface workings can be observed throughout the region, particularly within and along strike of the previous mines in the Yilgangi Mining Field. The Company’s tenements (both granted and under application) are proximal to Northern Star’s operations at both the Porphyry and Carosue Dam operations (see Figure 1).

Broken Hill Bore Prospect

During the quarter, M3 Mining completed a systematic soil sampling program at the Broken Hill Bore Prospect (see Figure 2), located approximately 20km northeast of the Porphyry Gold Mine operated by Northern Star. The Broken Hill Bore prospect hosts multiple historic gold workings, including shafts and adits extracted in the early 1900s. Four distinct workings; Anchor, Lyon Glen, Broken Hill, and Broken Hill North, which are located on the Company’s tenure were examined. Historically, a total of 129.9 tonnes of ore was mined to produce 4.04kg of gold at a grade of 31.1 g/t Au[3] . Mineralisation is hosted in cross-cutting quartz veins within banded-iron formations, situated in a sheared sequence of felsic volcaniclastic, sedimentary, and mafic volcanic units.

In total 147 samples were collected on a 100m by 200m grid across the prospect. Samples were analysed using handheld pXRF, providing immediate multi-element geochemical data.

The results of the completed analysis have identified key pathfinder elements associated with gold mineralisation, notably arsenic (As), a known indicator of mineralisation in the area, concentrated around the known historical workings and extending into the flatter areas east and west of the ridgelines. This broad dispersion suggests mineralisation may not be confined to the ridges, highlighting untested potential across the tenements.

Field observations revealed minimal cover across most of the area, reinforcing the effectiveness of soil geochemistry for target generation. Notably, extensive historical prospector activity, including previously unrecorded scraping was observed across the tenement, indicating historical recognition of gold presence beyond mapped workings. For further information please see ASX release “Encouraging Gold Targets Progress at Edjudina” released 29/04/2025

Historical workings within Broken Hill Bore include Lyon Glen, Broken Hill, Broken Hill North, Anchor and Rocky Range, where previous rock chip sampling returned[4] :

  • 65.0 g/t Au (EDJAC5420, Broken Hill North Workings)

  • 4.3 g/t Au (EDJAC5419, Broken Hill Workings)

  • 1.9 g/t Au (EDJAC5416, Anchor Workings)

  • 1.1 g/t Au (EDJAC5421, Broken Hill North Workings)

  • 1.0 g/t Au (EDJAC5415, Anchor Workings)

The soil anomalism along with the high-grade gold returned in rock chips reaffirm the broader prospectivity of Broken Hill Bore and support the planned progression to bedrock geochemical testing to validate the underlying mineralisation potential.

Disclaimer: Soils were analysed using a portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyzer. Values obtained are directly comparable to one another, hence are a useful and cheaper way to define metal distributions in soils and mineral confirmation purely for exploration purposes. However, these values are not as accurate as laboratory XRF analyses and, whilst indicative, may not define absolute values accurately.

==> picture [134 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

Old Plough Dam Prospect

In addition, pXRF-assisted soil sampling grids were also completed at the Old Plough Dam prospect. The Old Plough Dam prospect lies close to the Carosue Dam gold trend (see Figure 3), approximately 1,200m from the non-active Twin Peaks gold mine. M3 Mining is targeting ‘Twin Peaks’-style orogenic gold mineralisation, typically hosted in siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks, with coarse visible gold in quartz-carbonate veins.

Earlier reconnaissance work focused on mapping and rock chip sampling. The eastern portion of the tenure is interpreted to exhibit similar lithologies to, and extensions of the structures, that host the Twin Peaks deposit.

The soil sampling program consisted of 131 samples collected over a 100m by 200m spaced grid, targeting gold and associated pathfinder elements in proximity to the historic Twin Peaks Gold Mine.

Analysis of the multi-element data identified a particularly prospective zone in the northeastern corner of the survey, with elevated gold pathfinder elements including arsenic (As), Sulphur (S), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Vanadium (V), and Copper (Cu), consistent with signatures typically associated with Twin Peaks-style orogenic gold mineralisation. Geological mapping during the program further highlighted similarities between the lithologies in this area and those known to host mineralisation at Twin Peaks. For further information please see ASX release “Encouraging Gold Targets Progress at Edjudina” released 29/04/2025.

Given the strength of both the geochemical and geological indicators, future exploration will focus on tighter-spaced soil sampling over this northeast zone to refine targets for potential drill testing.

Victoria Bore Copper Project

The Victoria Bore Copper Project is centred on the historic Victoria Copper Mine which produced high grade copper averaging circa 32.7% Cu for 62.5t of copper from near surface in the 1950’s[5] . The Victoria Bore Project is located approximately 120km south of the town of Onslow and 130km southeast of Exmouth in Western Australia. The tenements lie adjacent to the Northwest Coastal Highway and are readily accessible (see Figure 4).

Soil Sampling – Results and Analysis

During the quarter, results were received from the previously completed soil sampling program which covered 63km² area and consisted of 1,596 primary samples (see Figure 5). The sampled grid covered the newly interpreted extent of the Wyloo Group metasediments, a geological unit known for hosting copper mineralisation, as well as bordering Edmund Group metasediments and intrusive granitoids of the Gascoyne Complex. The samples were collected on a 200m x 400m spaced grid. Samples were composited on a two-for-one basis (for a total of 812 composite samples) and sent for analysis using the UltraFine+ technique co-developed by CSIRO and LabWest. This methodology enhances the detection of trace metals, allowing for a more comprehensive geochemical signature of potential mineralisation at depth.

The results have delineated several copper (Cu) anomalies, with Cu readings as high as 194ppm, that are strongly associated with key pathfinder elements, including silver (Ag), gold (Au), molybdenum (Mo), sulfur (S), and zinc (Zn) (see Figure 6). These pathfinder elements are important in exploration as they can indicate the presence of larger mineralised systems at depth. Silver and gold are known to be associated with copper deposits, particularly in hydrothermal systems where metal-bearing fluids have moved through structural conduits. The presence of sulfur points to potential sulphide mineralisation, which is often a key indicator of primary copper mineralisation rather than secondary surface enrichment. The correlation between several of these elements and copper anomalies provides increased confidence in the interpretations and supports further investigation. For further information please see ASX release “New copper targets at Victoria Bore” released 25/02/2025

The soil sampling assay methodology (UltraFine+) is a partial digest and analysis. This methodology can make results seem modest compared to traditional soil sampling. However, the benefit of the approach comes when comparing results against the statistical baseline to identify anomalies.

Passive Seismic Survey

Interpretation of the passive seismic survey was completed during the quarter. The survey was completed across the program area to better understand the depth of bedrock. A total of 57 passive seismic Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) stations were deployed, providing a detailed analysis of the subsurface geology (see Figure 7). The results indicate that bedrock is relatively shallow, ranging between 5m and 10m below the surface.

This suggests that the soil geochemistry should be largely representative of the underlying bedrock rather than being significantly influenced by transported regolith or alluvial processes. The passive seismic results were validated against historical drill data from the region, confirming the presence of shallow Proterozoic bedrock. This provides further confidence in the reliability of the soil geochemistry results and enhances the prospectivity of the anomalies identified in the survey.

Historic Copper Working

Fieldwork within newly granted tenement E08/3326 has uncovered an unrecorded historic copper working within the Edmund Group metasediments. This discovery is particularly significant as it highlights the potential fertility of the Edmund Group in this region, an area that has seen limited exploration.

Results for 15 rock chip samples that were collected from the historic workings were received during the quarter. Peak copper values reached 0.28% Cu (see Figure 8). Zinc values were also elevated, with a peak assay of 1,949 ppm Zn. These results indicate that the historic workings targeted a polymetallic system. The presence of anomalous arsenic (As) and sulfur (S) suggests that the mineralisation could be related to hydrothermal or sediment-hosted copper systems. Highlights below.

  • VBRC1563: 0.28% Cu

  • VBRC1565: 0.20% Cu

  • VBRC1564: 0.17% Cu

  • VBRC1562: 0.14% Cu

  • VBRC1570: 0.13% Cu

  • VBRC1569: 0.12% Cu

  • VBRC1558: 0.11% Cu

In addition, the presence of nearby concrete pads (as seen in Figure 8 near VBRC1571) along with evidence of ore processing supports the interpretation that the site was a historical base metals operation.

Other samples showed anomalous levels of base metals and trace elements indicative of hydrothermal activity. Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) enrichment in certain samples also suggests possible remobilisation of mineralisation, pointing to a potentially complex ore-forming system.

Recent Activities

Subsequent to the quarter end, the M3 team completed follow-up work on the widespread soil sampling program that was completed last year. Field activities were undertaken to follow up on priority base metals, gold, and REE targets identified from the recent survey.

Additional mapping and sampling were completed in the vicinity of a previously undocumented base metals occurrence, providing important geological context to the mineralisation. A new area of interest was also identified, characterised by extensive ground disturbance, likely the result of historical prospecting activities targeting gold.

Samples collected during the program, 33 rock chips and 133 soil samples, have been submitted for assay, with results pending.

Corporate

M3 Mining, through its wholly owned subsidiary, M3 Energy Pty Ltd, is actively pursuing an advanced energy asset in the MENA region. To support this effort, the Company has engaged with the administration managing energy projects in the region including recent in country meetings and reviewed project-specific data that will help shape potential work programs and determine funding requirements should the asset be secured. The Company has also identified prospective strategic partners that may provide funding solutions should M3 Energy secure the asset.

While these developments are encouraging, discussions with the administrative bodies remain incomplete and ongoing. There is no certainty that the Company will successfully secure an energy asset.

In addition to the advanced energy asset the Company continues to assess other strategic opportunities to diversify its portfolio.

A general meeting has been called for 30 May 2025 to determine the composition of the board of M3 Mining. This is an unfortunate distraction and poor use of the Company’s time and resources, particularly with the encouraging progress made across all initiatives and, notably, the energy asset. As has been clearly communicated, should the changes proposed by shareholder Formica be successful, namely the removal of directors oil and gas specialist Dermot O’Keeffe and executive director Simon Eley, there is a high probability that the energy asset that has been the subject of considerable time and effort, will not progress and the opportunity will be lost. This would be an unwelcome outcome and one that would see a potentially significant value accretive addition to the assets of the Company being squandered with no alternative strategy proposed by Mr Formica. Accordingly, shareholders are asked to carefully consider the alternative options for the future of the Company before voting.

Financial

Cash held as of 31 March 2024 was approximately $1.54m.
