Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘Mamba’, ‘M24’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding conditional share subscription deed agreement (‘Share Subscription Deed’) with Meekatharra Minerals Pty Ltd (‘MMPL’) to acquire a 70% interest in Meekatharra Minerals East Pty Ltd (‘MMEPL’) (‘Acquisition’). MMEPL has the rights to acquire the Meeka East Gold Project, comprising tenements located in the Murchison Goldfield southeast of Meekatharra.
Meeka East Gold Project
The Meeka East Gold Project (the ‘Project’) is located in the Murchison Goldfields, a region known for significant gold production. At completion the Project will contain thirty-nine exploration and prospecting licenses and will cover approximately 152 km[2] of prospective stratigraphy in a world class gold mining district. MMEPL has consolidated the rights to acquire 100% of the exploration and prospecting licenses except for E51/1832 which is the subject of an 80/20 joint venture arrangement with Taruga Minerals Limited.
Prior to its consolidation, the tenements comprising the Project were historically explored for various commodities. There has been limited exploration to date over the identified high-priority target areas. The Project has two initial prospects, the 140 Foot Well Gold Prospect in the northern portion of the Project and the Bella Gold Prospect in the south.
Historical exploration has been completed on the Project area by previous operators. Mamba has reviewed available historical information as part of its due diligence; however, only recent and relevant historical information is included in this announcement as the majority of the previous exploration (i) targeted areas that were not proximate to the high priority areas and/or (ii) primarily targeted commodity mineralisation other than gold mineralisation, and the limits of detection for gold geochemistry was too high to generate anomalies under cover

and are therefore not material to Mamba’s strategy for the Project.
The initial areas of focus within the Project are covered by hardpan which has resulted in limited exploration of its gold prospectivity in the past. MMEPL has utilised modern exploration techniques under a new geological theory to reassess this ground, integrating geophysics with the available data.
Initial evaluation has identified a target at the northern area at the 140 Foot Well prospect, which will be evaluated in conjunction with the Geochemical Surveys at the Southern Extension of the Mulga Bill trend. The evaluation will also include the Bella Prospect within Gaba East Prospect area.
The stratigraphic unit and structure at Great Boulder Resources Limited’s (ASX: GBR) (GBR’) Mulga Bill Project continues into the underexplored northern area of the Project at the 140 Foot Well Prospect.[1]

The northern 3km of strike within the Project was recently sampled using <80 mesh (180 micron) fine soil sampling at 50m spacing across the strike. The samples were assayed for gold by Intertek using a 0.1ppb Au

detection limit (AR10E MS). This defined the low-level (>2ppb Au) gold anomaly in all 5 sampling lines over a 3km strike length and coincided with the structure defined by GBR and the GSWA map. This stratigraphy and structure continues for approximately 3km into the Project’s focus area at the Mulga Bill trend extension. This creates potential for approximately 6km, or more, of total strike length (as shown in Figure 2).
Planned Exploration Activity

Figure 2 - 140 Foot Well Prospect on Geology showing the Mulga Bill Trend and previous exploration
Meek East Gold Project
Mamba’s initial focus will be to complete additional soil sampling across the full extent of the stratigraphy and structure along the Mulga Bill trend extension. This area demonstrates potential for a strike length of more than 6km. Additional samples will be taken to infill the recent soil sampling that was undertaken within the areas at the northern end of the Project within the Mulga Bill trend extension, as well as to complete two close off line samples to the south.
The Project requires Heritage Agreements with the Yugunga Nya PBC, with who the Company has initiated engagement and intends to negotiate in a timely manner, followed by a program of works and heritage survey to be completed in line with areas defined by soil sampling.
Upon execution of Heritage Agreements, Mamba is planning a drilling program in the second quarter of 2026 that

ASX:M24

is currently envisioned to provide overlapping coverage across 200m of anomalies identified through recent soil sampling.
Ashburton Project
Mamba also intends to undertake field reconnaissance work at the Ashburton Project which covers approximately 580km² across two tenements (E08/2913 and E08/3343), located approximately 190km south of Onslow and 220km northeast of Carnarvon in Western Australia.
The region is dominated by major northwest-trending structures, including the Minga Bar Fault and Thirty Bob Bore Fault, which are recognised as key structural controls for gold mineralisation. The Minga Bar Fault represents one of the key mineralised corridors within this part of the orogen. Dreadnought Resources Limited (ASX: DRE) has reported promising gold anomalies along this same structural trend - including Midnight Star, Midday Moon, and Cullen’s Find, which have been a focus for recent drilling. This exploration success underscores the strong potential for further gold discoveries within Mamba’s Ashburton Project area.
During the September quarter, the Company undertook geological interpretation and desktop work to refine targets ahead of planning on-ground exploration. An updated review of historical datasets was completed, with mapping and sampling results to prioritise areas considered prospective for gold and base-metal mineralisation.
As outlined in the Company’s announcement dated 30 October 2025, the Company is preparing for an initial wide-spaced Ultra-Fine Fraction (“UFF”) soil sampling program at the Ashburton Project. The planned program will focus on a 34 km strike length of the Minga Bar Fault, targeting multiple structural corridors interpreted to be favourable pathways for mineralisation. Subject to initial results, a follow-up program is intended to include further detailed work along the Thirty Bob Bore Fault, which also demonstrates strong potential for gold mineralisation.
The planned Ashburton exploration activities will be supported by reconnaissance field work, geological mapping and further desktop interpretation to refine drilling targets. Mamba will provide further updates as exploration progresses.
Commenting on the proposed acquisition, Mamba’s Non-Executive Chairman, Simon Andrew said:
"Securing the Meeka East Gold Project represents a significant opportunity for Mamba. The project is located in the highly prospective Murchison Goldfield and with strong shareholder support through our $2 million placement, we are well positioned to advance exploration. This transaction strengthens our portfolio, brings regional geological experience and provides shareholders with exposure to a gold exploration opportunity in one of Western Australia’s prolific gold provinces."
Placement & Use of Funds
Mamba Exploration has received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors, including new key supporters/investors,to raise approximately $2 million (before costs) through an unbrokered Placement of 133,333,333 new fully paid ordinary shares in Mamba (‘Placement Shares’) at an issue price of $0.015 per share (‘Issue Price’) as follows:
-
Tranche 1 of the Placement comprises 44,000,000 Placement Shares (~$0.66 million) which will be issued through the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (‘Tranche 1 Placement’); and

Annexure C – Soil Sample Results
JORC Code 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
The following data is in relation to Soil Sampling Programs in the announcement and the individual surveys are detailed
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
1. 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 down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. 2. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. 3. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. 4. 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. |
Drilling has previously been completed on the project by past explorers. No drilling results are included in this announcement and no drilling data is being reported or discussed. A soil Sampling program was undertaken: using< 80 mesh Fine Soils sampling program over the northern 3 tenements. The Fine (-80 mesh) soil samples were taken by removing the surface float rock and topsoil with a shovel then pulverizing the subsoil using a hammer. This allowed the recovery of a sample from nominally 100-150 mm deep Rock outcrops, vegetation and creek beds were excluded to ensure retrospectivity. No sub-sampling was required for the fine soil samples. The sieving process to -80 mesh meant the final sample was already prepared for assay. Field duplicates and laboratory standards were included in the Fine Soils program. |
| 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 |

||
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. 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. |
Drilling has been completed historically on the project by previous operators; however, no drilling data or drilling results are being reported in this announcement |
| 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. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Historical drilling exists on the project; however, no drilling logs or drilling results are being reported as part of this acquisition announcement. For geochemical soil samples; regolith type, topographic slope, vegetation and moisture were recorded. The area was dry flat hardpan with minor creeks |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
No drilling data is being reported. This section relates solely to soil sampling. The samples were gathered using fine soil sampling techniques with no sub samples. The sample sieving gave samples that do not need sample prep due to the -80 mesh (177 microns) size for final sample for assay. |

| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Field duplicates and laboratory standards were taken in the Fine Soils. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole 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. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |

Drilling results are not being reported, no drilling data is included within this announcement. |
| 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. |
The results of the <80 mesh soil sampling and the host stratigraphy and controlling structure are shown in figure 2. |
