M3 Mining Limited (ASX: M3M ) ( M3 Mining , the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on corporate and exploration activities during the December 2025 Quarter.
Non-Executive Director, Tyler Formica: “ The project-wide review of Edjudina was successful in identifying new drill targets at Yilgangie and potential for extensions to the known areas of mineralisation at El Capitan. The Company is well funded to execute our plans at Edjudina to test these exciting new targets. ”

Recent Activities
During the quarter, the Company completed a geological review of all previous work at Edjudina (as announced on 12 January 2026) and in addition, Resource Potentials geophysics consultants have been engaged to undertake a geophysical review and targeting exercise across the Project to provide further regional context and provide a comprehensive suite of geophysical images.

Yilgangie Prospect
As part of the geological review, the Company noted that the Porphyry Gold Mine (located 10 km to the east of the Yilgangie prospects) is hosted in alkalic porphyry intrusives and the recently completed review indicates this host rock is a key control for gold mineralisation. The geological review highlighted several key historic exploration results from Yilgangie (see announcement dated 12 January 2026 for full details).
It was noted that historic soil sampling north of drilling (that remains untested) defined a 1 km gold soil anomaly, extending the prospective zone over 2.2 km. The mineralisation is hosted in alkalic intrusives, similar to the Porphyry Gold Mine located 10 km east within the same belt.

Porphyry West Prospect
This prospect is located 2.5 km from Northern Star’s Porphyry Mine and Million Dollar Mine - both are hosted within and adjacent to the Porphyry alkalic intrusion.
Historic soils completed on the west side of the Porphyry intrusion within E31/1367 recorded a 1 km gold soil anomaly that is open to the north located at the contact of the Porphyry intrusion. This is yet to be drill tested.

Geophysical Review
Resource Potentials undertook a detailed review of open file geophysical datasets in order to generate a new suite of processed geophysical images and assist in defining new target areas across the Edjudina Project. Several findings and recommendations from the work were:
-
Two major gold corridors were interpreted on the Project with; (1) the Carosue Dam corridor that includes the El Capitan prospects and; (2) the Porphyry corridor that includes the Yilgangie and Porphyry West prospects.
-
The Yilgangie-Porphyry West and El Capitan prospects were indicated to be high priority zones for follow up drilling within the geophysical review.
-
Along the Porphyry corridor there are a number of alkalic intrusive units that are important controls for gold mineralisation with the Yilgangie and Porphyry West prospects located in close proximity to these important features. In addition to the host rocks, cross-cutting faults along major shears are also an important control on mineralisation at the Porphyry Sill Zone prospective area and are interpreted to be a zone of structure complexity associated with alkalic intrusives and corresponding to historic gold mineralisation and occurrences.
==> picture [134 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
- At El Capitan the geophysical interpretation highlighted three important gold trends over 5- 7 km in length interpreted from historic drilling trends and the structures evident in the reprocessed geophysics; with Carosue Dam corresponding to the same shear zones along strike.
The findings of the review indicated that there is significant strike potential of the El Capitan prospect that remains untested from previous drilling and that the new areas surrounding the Porphyry Sill Zone are highly prospective for Porphyry Mine-type mineralisation. Recommendations from the work were to complete follow up drilling at these areas.
Corporate
During the quarter, the Company completed Tranche 2 of the placement following shareholder approval at the General Meeting held in October.
The funds raised from the Placement will be used towards exploration activities at Victoria Bore and Edjudina, which will include geophysics, regional aircore drilling and follow up aircore drilling at El Capitan. In accordance with the strategic review, funds raised from the Placement will also be used towards assessing opportunities to expand or diversify the Company’s exploration portfolio through the addition of high-quality assets with strong strategic fit, as well as towards general working capital.
During the quarter, the Company has also assessed multiple resource project opportunities with preliminary commercial discussions currently underway.
Financial
Cash held as of 31 December 2025 was approximately $1.84m.
For the purpose of Section 6 of the Appendix 5B, all payments made to related parties have been paid in relation to director fees.

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 4). 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 4).

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. 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 5).
