BROAD NEAR-SURFACE GOLD INTERSECTIONS EXTEND LEO GRANDE CENTRAL TO THE SOUTH-EAST
INITIAL PHASE 2 RESULTS CONFIRM CONTINUITY AND GROWING SCALE OF MINERALISATION ALONG THE LEO GRANDE SHEAR ZONE
Moonlight Resources Ltd (ASX: ML8) (Moonlight Resources or the Company) is pleased to report assay results from an initial 22 holes returned from Phase 2 reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Leo Grande Prospect, within its flagship Clermont Gold Project in Queensland.
Results build on Moonlight's successful initial confirmatory and infill drilling campaign, completed in late 2025, and further support the presence of a broad, near-surface gold system with strong continuity along the Leo Grande Shear Zone.
Ongoing Phase 2 drilling has focused on extending known mineralisation along strike and at depth, increasing drill density and supporting Moonlight's pathway towards defining a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Leo Grande.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Broad, near-surface gold mineralisation intersected in step-out drilling to the south-east and north-west of Leo Grande Central.
- Initial Phase 2 results confirm additional continuity of mineralisation within Leo Grande Shear Zone, supporting the growing scale of the system.
- Results from the south-east extended mineralisation towards the Leo Grande South area.
- Multiple holes ended in mineralisation, with further opportunity for expansion at depth.
- Results support Moonlight's strategy to systematically advance Leo Grande towards maiden Mineral Resource definition.
- Phase 2 drilling remains ongoing, with further assays expected from additional holes designed to test strike, depth and continuity across the broader Leo Grande system.
Managing Director, Mr Greg Starr, commented:
"While the initial drilling results at Leo Grande have already demonstrated the presence of a broad, near-surface gold system, our focus is now firmly on defining the scale, continuity and additional growth potential.
These initial Phase 2 results are an important step in that process. In particular, step-out drilling to the south-east has returned multiple broad intersections which support our interpretation that mineralisation continues along the Leo Grande Shear Zone towards Leo Grande South.
"Importantly, several holes have again ended in mineralisation, reinforcing the opportunity to extend the system at depth. Additional results from this phase of drilling remain outstanding and are expected to provide further insight into the scale and continuity of the mineralised system."

CONTEXT AND INITIAL DRILLING RESULTS
Moonlight's initial Phase 1 drilling campaign at Leo Grande was designed to validate the Company's geological interpretation and confirm the historical drilling dataset across the prospect.
The programme successfully confirmed consistent, near-surface gold mineralisation across all drill sections and validated the historical wide-spaced drilling, which comprises approximately 70 shallow RC holes across the prospect area¹.
Notable results from Phase 1 included:
- 40m at 1.30 g/t Au from surface (LGRC067, ending in mineralisation)
- 34m at 1.37 g/t Au from 6m (LGRC062, ending in mineralisation)
- 24m at 1.28 g/t Au from 2m (LGRC060)
- 21m at 1.28 g/t Au from 19m (LGRC065, ending in mineralisation)
All Phase 1 drill holes intersected mineralisation, with several step-out holes demonstrating continuity beyond previously drilled areas. These results reinforced the potential scale of the system and provided the technical foundation for the current Phase 2 programme.
RESULTS FROM PHASE 2 BUILD ON A GROWING SYSTEM
Moonlight recommenced RC drilling at Leo Grande in February 2026 as part of its Phase 2 programme. The programme forms part of Moonlight's fully funded 20,000 metre drilling programme across the Clermont Gold Project and represents the next stage in the systematic evaluation of the Company's highest-priority prospect.
Phase 2 drilling is scheduled to comprise 70 holes for approximately 6,000 metres and has been designed to:
- Further test interpreted extensions of known mineralisation to the south-east and north-west of Phase 1 drilling
- Complete infill and step-out drilling along strike to improve confidence in continuity.
- Evaluate down-dip potential of wide gold zones
- Test for additional parallel lodes within the broader mineralised corridor
- Increase drill density to support progressing toward a future maiden MRE
To date, a total of 42 RC drill holes for approximately 4,500 metres have been completed as part of the Phase 2 programme at Leo Grande.
These holes have been directed at systematically stepping out shallow strike extensions of known mineralisation along approximately 850 metres of the Leo Grande Shear, beyond the previously densely drilled zone, to the south-east (South-Eastern Extension) and to the north-west (North-Western Extension), while targeted infill holes have been completed to extend mineralisation up- and down-dip and confirm continuity, particularly where multiple historical and Moonlight drill holes have ended in mineralisation.

South-Eastern Extension
Initial Phase 2 results from the South-Eastern Extension have returned broad zones of near-surface gold mineralisation and support the interpretation that the Leo Grande system continues towards Leo Grande South.
Notable assay results include:
- 42m at 1.01 g/t gold, from 0m (LGRC102)
- 40m at 1.31 g/t gold, from 76m (LGRC105), including:
- 5m at 3.40 g/t gold from 108m
- 37m at 1.04 g/t gold, from 0m (LGRC104), including
- 7m at 2.00 g/t gold from 22m
- 19m at 0.81 g/t gold, from 89m (LGRC0100), and 11m at 0.68 g/t Au, from 34m, including:
- 8m at 1.05 g/t gold, from 90m.
These results increase the south-eastern strike extent of Leo Grande Central a further 200 m, towards Leo Grande South with strong continuity of mineralisation demonstrated within the mylonitic "Leo Grande" shear zone (see Figure 2).
The Leo Grande Central shear zone has been interpreted to continue a further 0.6 km in this direction, linking with mineralisation previously intersected at the Leo Grande South prospect area.
North-Western Extension
Results from the North-Western Extension have also returned broad zones of gold mineralisation, extending the mineralised footprint further along strike.
Notable assay results include:
- 18m at 1.55 g/t gold, from 60m (LGRC091), including:
- 3m at 7.80 g/t gold from 72m
- 37m at 0.81 g/t gold, from 69m (LGRC077), including:
- 22m at 1.01 g/t gold, from 79m.
- 20m at 0.77 g/t gold, from 50m (LGRC086).
The north-western drilling intersected broad zones of mineralisation, with grades varying according to host rock. Slightly lower grades were generally returned where drilling intersected chlorite-schist host rocks. Further to the north-west, grades increase within the quartz-mica-schist (QMS) host unit.
Encouragingly, grades appear to strengthen again at the extreme north-western end of the current drilling area where mineralisation returns to the QMS host unit.
These results extend mineralisation a further 250 m along strike (see Figure 2).

NEXT STEPS
Phase 2 drilling at Leo Grande Central is expected to be completed over the coming weeks, with assay results to be released in successive batches as they are received, validated and interpreted.
Following completion of drilling at Leo Grande, the RC rig is expected to mobilise to the Goldfinger Prospect for an initial programme of up to 2,500m of RC drilling.
Goldfinger, together with the Petersens Prospect, represents a high-priority target area supported by favourable structural settings and historical gold intersections.
Data review and prospectivity work at the MacDonnell Ranges Project will continue, with field activities planned later in Q2 CY2026.

APPENDIX A: JORC, 2012 EDITION: TABLE 1 REPORT
SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
This Table 1 refers to current 2026 Moonlight Resources Limited (MLB) drilling currently underway at the Leo Grande Prospect, Clermont Project.
| 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. | |
| • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. | ||
| • 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. | • The current drilling reported in this release at the Leo Grande Prospect, Clermont is related to Reverse Circulation (RC) completed in December 2025, and February to April 2026. | |
| RC drilling | ||
| • Drilling was completed using a truck mounted UDR650, the method of drilling was Reverse Circulation drilling (RC). | ||
| • The samples were collected every 1m. The samples were split using a cone splitter attached to the cyclone which was mounted on the side of the UDR. | ||
| • The sample was split using the cone splitter with 87.5% of the sample collected in a plastic bag with 12.5% of the sample collected in a calico bag which was submitted to the laboratory for assay. | ||
| 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.). | • RC drilling was carried out by drilling contractor, Eagle Drilling. The drilling technique used was Reverse Circulation Drilling, which was undertaken by Eagle Drilling using a track mounted UDR650. A face sampling hammer was used, and the hole diameter was 105mm |
| • Core is oriented with a Reflex Ez-Trac tool. The oriented core line is recorded for length and confidence and is never sampled, preserving the line for future use. | ||
| 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. | • RC chip recovery is recorded meter by meter reconciling against driller's depth. High recoveries are noted for all holes, with the exception of poor returns in the incompetent soil cover profile. | |
| • Geological logging currently documents core recoveries within 95% of expected with nothing recorded concerning the amount and consistency of material recovered from the drilling. | ||
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support | • Geological logging identifying the primary lithologies, mineralogy, alteration and recovery has been undertaken by suitably qualified geologists along the entire length of the hole. |

| 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. | • All holes have been logged for mineralogy, veining, alteration, weathering, and other sample features as appropriate to the style of deposit. Logging has been undertaken at the site. | |
| • Logging is stored in Datashed Database software which utilises validated logging lists and data entry rules. | ||
| • All chip trays have been photographed in natural light. | ||
| • The level of detailed logging is aimed at supporting detailed geological modelling considered appropriate for future potential Resource estimation and metallurgical studies. | ||
| 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. | ||
| • 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. | • Sampling length was routinely 1.0 metre of downhole length, appropriate to geology and mineralogy. | |
| • The RC hole was sampled at 1m intervals, the primary sample being collected in plastic sample bags and retained. The representative assay split was collected using a cone splitter producing a 12.5% split of each 1m sample (each sample weighed between 2.0 to 3.0 Kg). The samples were all sampled dry and the dust was supressed by the cone splitter, so no fine material was lost. | ||
| • The split sample was placed in a numbered calico bag, prior to being placed in a poly weave sack for dispatch to the laboratory. | ||
| • The Competent Person considers the sample preparation to be appropriate for drilling of this nature • The Competent Person considers the sample sizes to be appropriate for the type of material being sampled. Appropriate sample sizes and pulverisation of the entire sample support good representivity. | ||
| • Sampled core was transported to ALS Laboratory (ALS) in Townsville for sample analysis. | ||

| • 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. | • Sample analysis for RC samples were undertaken at North ALS Laboratories, Townsville, QLD. | |
| • Drilling samples were dried, weighed and split to produce a 50g sub-sample of the pulp sample for Fire Assay using a Fire Assay method: Au-AA26 | ||
| • The laboratory has a regime of 1 in 8 control subsamples. | ||
| • ALS utilise standard internal quality control measures including the use of Certified Lithium Standards (approx. 1 in 4) and duplicates/repeats (approx. 1 in 6). | ||
| • Approximate LPM-implemented quality control procedures include: | ||
| • One in 20 certified gold ore standards were used for this drilling. | ||
| • One in 20 coarse crush duplicates were used for this drilling program. | ||
| • One in 20 blanks were inserted for this drilling. |
QAQC of drilling data
• ML8 used 5 standards based on orogenic/greenstones between 0.5ppm and 25ppm Au.
• ML8 used 1 blank based on high purity silica sand (<0.01ppm Au)
• No umpire samples |
| Verification of sampling and assaying | • The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

MOONLIGHT RESOURCES
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. | ||
| • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | • The logging is routinely checked and manually verified within against chip tray photos and recovery by the exploration manager and the site procedures are routinely verified by the Site manager. | |
| • Audits of the logging will be periodically done by external consultants. | ||
| • No adjustments to the assay data have been made. | ||
| Location of data points | • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. | |
| • Specification of the grid system used. | ||
| • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | Drill Collar | |
| • The drill collar location has been recorded in the field using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS). | ||
| • The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 54 for easting, northing and RL. | ||
| • Locational accuracy is in the order of ±10 m in X-Y and ±15 m in rL (Z). These are yet to be surveyed by DGPS with more accuracy (to +/- 1m). | ||
| Drill hole direction and downhole surveys | ||
| • Down hole surveys for angled holes are routinely measured at 15m to 30m intervals with a Reflex's SingleShot downhole survey tool. | ||
| Data spacing and distribution | • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | |
| • 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. | ||
| • Whether sample compositing has been applied. | • Drill spacing is determined by the stage of exploration of the prospect and the primary objective of confirmatory drilling of historic drilling. | |
| • The current hole positioning has been aimed at approximately 40m spacing along strike and vertical at a distance suitable to define structural trends and establish continuity of the gold mineralisation. | ||
| • Mineralised intervals reported are based on a consistent one metre sample interval. | ||
| 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. | |
| • 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. | • The reported drillholes have been oriented to intersect the mylonite structure/geology containing or controlling the gold mineralisation at a high angle based on projections from historical and recent drilling and geological modelling. | |
| • Generally, the orientation is appropriate. No sampling bias is considered to have been introduced given the observed mineralogy within the structure. Because of the dip of the hole, drill intersections are apparent thicknesses, and overall geological context is needed to estimate true thicknesses. | ||
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. | • Drill samples for assay is collected by ML8 personnel from site. |
| • The samples are logged in detail and processed for sampling prior to be transported off site by ML8 personnel to analytical laboratory for analysis. | ||
| Audits or reviews | • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. | • No review or audit has been conducted on the current drilling. |

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status | • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. | |
| • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. | • The Leo Grande prospect is contained within EPM 17968 in Central Queensland. Through two wholly owned subsidiaries, the tenement is held 100% by Moonlight Resources Limited. | |
| • The tenements are in good standing with no impediments to conduct exploration programs on the tenements. | ||
| Exploration done by other parties | • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | • Previous exploration of mylonite hosted gold mineralisation has occurred at Leo Grande during the late 80's and early 1990's by Plutonic Resources NL; and |
| • More recent RC drilling programs by Metallica Minerals in 2023 comprised 5 RC holes for 301m At Leo Grande. | ||
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | • The Leo Grande Prospect is located within the Anakie Inlier of central Queensland, a Proterozoic metamorphic terrane dominated by variably deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks intruded by granitic bodies. Local geology comprises greenschist- to amphibolite-facies metasediments and metavolcanics affected by regional folding, shearing and faulting. Gold mineralisation in the region is typically associated with structurally controlled quartz veining, shear zones and brittle-ductile deformation, with sulphide assemblages dominated by pyrite ± arsenopyrite. The prospect is considered prospective for orogenic-style gold mineralisation consistent with other deposits within the Anakie Inlier. |
| 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 (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar | ||
| • dip and azimuth of the hole | ||
| • downhole length and interception depth | ||
| • hole length. | ||
| • 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. | • Table 1 for drill hole information | |
| • No drilling or material assay information has been excluded. | ||
| 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. | |
| • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical | • Assay intervals have been reported at >0.20 ppm Au cut-off with up to 2m internal dilution. | |
| • No metal equivalent values have been used or reported. | ||
| • Composite intervals have been weighted and added to the Table (and Figures) to better represent multiple intersections down hole. These have not been reported in isolation of the actual intervals. |

| examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. | ||
| • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. | ||
| 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 drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported. | ||
| • If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). | • The azimuth and dip data for the current hole is presented in Table 2. The hole has been drilled, in general, at an azimuth toward or vertical hole approximating angles of 45-60° dip at the mylonite zone on the interpretation of north-northwest trending structure. | |
| • Due to the locations of available drill pads, some holes have been oriented with significant azimuth changes but appropriate dips to ensure the holes intersect the target structure at high angle. | ||
| • The nature and dip of the shear occurrences are still being evaluated and modelled. | ||
| • Downhole widths are reported in Table 1 and are estimated to be around 60 to 90% of downhole width, with further modelling required to orient the mylonite dip angle. | ||
| 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. | • See Figure 2. |
| • Modelling is still ongoing to enable accurate sectional interpretations | ||
| 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 avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. | • All current exploration results have been reported. |
| 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. | • Much of this historical data has been recovered, validated to the extent that it can, and accessed for use in development of the preliminary geological model for the Leo Grande Mineralisation and current exploration program design. |
| • Many of the 2025 holes were designed with the purpose of confirming the mineralisation reported historically. | ||
| • The new 2026 reported above were designed to commence infill and step-out drilling at an appropriate spacing to support future Resource Estimation. | ||
| 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). | |
| • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. | • Moonlight Resources Ltd is conducting additional RC and DD drilling at its Leo Grande Prospect to evaluate the along strike and down-plunge extent of the gold mineralisation. | |
| • The program will then progress to conducting initial confirmatory RC drilling at its Gold Finger Prospect to evaluate and confirm the extent of the gold mineralisation intersected in historical drilling. | ||
