Exploration Update - Drilling Commences at Barrambie Ranges
Highlights
-
Exploration drilling commences at the Barrambie Ranges gold trend at Neometals Ltd 100% owned Barrambie Gold Project.
-
The Barrambie Ranges trend hosts the historic Golden Treasure mine which was the most prolific of the former mines within the Barrambie Greenstone Belt, producing 15,326 ounces at 29.4g/t Au between 1905 and 1911[1] and has not been drill tested for nearly 40 years.
-
A total of 8,300 metres reverse circulation drilling (“RC”) is planned for the December Quarter 2025 at the former Golden Treasure gold mine, the broader Barrambie Ranges mineralised trend, the historic Mystery gold mine, and the Ironclad deposit.
Neometals Ltd (ASX: NMT) (“ Neometals ” or “ the Company ”), is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Company’s 100% owned Barrambie Gold Project ( “the Barrambie Project” ), in Western Australia.
Drilling has commenced at the Barrambie Ranges gold trend, the first programme in a planned 8,300 metre RC campaign which will also target extensions at the historic Mystery mine, and extension and infill drilling at the Ironclad deposit (13,000oz @ 1.6g/t Au Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (“ MRE ”)[2] ).
The first discovery of gold in the Barrambie Greenstone Belt ( “BGSB” ) occurred at the site of the historic Golden Treasure gold mine in 1905 during the construction of the Rabbit Proof Fence. This discovery ultimately led to the opening of four gold producing centres in the BGSB, with the Golden Treasure mine being the largest and highest-grade producer (29.4g/t).[1,3]
Despite this outstanding exploration opportunity, drilling by previous explorers in the vicinity of the historic mine remains limited. Similarly, the host shear-system, which can be traced along a 4km trend at the Barrambie Ranges, has been subject to only minimal drill-testing, with holes being clustered and shallow, generally less than 35m deep[3,4] .
Prior announcements by the Company relating to drilling by previous explorers omitted some material drill assay intercepts from the Barrambie Ranges trend, which are now reported in Appendix 1 to 3 of this announcement and include:

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The Competent Person cautions that this exploration data is historical in nature, has not or may not have been reported in accordance with the JORC Code or its precedents and has not been independently verified. The Competent Person considers these results to be indicative only and not definitive measures of the presence and tenor of mineralisation.
Aims of the December quarter drill campaign includes:
-
Barrambie Ranges & Golden Treasure gold mine (planned 3,200m RC);
-
Test extensions of high-grade mineralisation below the historic Golden Treasure-Barrambie North workings;
-
Test halo mineralisation and parallel structures in footwall and hanging wall zones adjacent to historic workings;
-
Follow-up shallow, historic drill intersections, including 4m at 6.07g/t (hole B194)[4] , and 5m at 4.27g/t (hole B207)[4] along a 600m strike of the Barrambie Ranges mineralised trend; and,
-
Test previously undrilled historic workings on a parallel structure within the Barrambie Ranges trend.
-
Ironclad Deposit (planned 3,400m RC):
-
Target depth and strike extensions to potentially expand the current Inferred MRE[2] ; and,
-
Infill drilling of the current Inferred MRE to increase confidence and upgrade the JORC classification.
-
Mystery gold mine trend (planned 1,700m RC):
-
Test depth extensions and a 500m strike of the (approx.) 1km shear system hosting the Mystery workings. The Sugarstone mining centre, which includes the Mystery workings, produced 3.88 k oz at 22.9g/t[3] and results of recent drilling by Neometals (10.2m at 2.72g/t gold, including 1.45m at 8.97g/t, 25MYDD001)[5] and by previous explorers (14m at 12.58g/t, SG131 and 19m at 0.78g/t, SG133)[4] supports the case for further drilling.
Next Steps
The programme along the Barrambie Ranges trend and at the historic Golden Treasure and Mystery gold mines are regarded as first-pass testing with results to inform follow-up exploration of the broader mineralised trends. Following the Ironclad drilling, the intended next steps include an update of the Inferred MRE and mine plan, expected in the March Quarter 2026.
Neometals Managing Director, Chris Reed, says:
“ We are excited to resume exploration drilling, in particular at Barrambie Ranges, the host of the high-grade Golden Treasure mine, a historic site where the Barrambie gold story originated. Growing and upgrading the Ironclad deposit is also a key step in achieving first commercial gold production at Barrambie.”

About Barrambie
The Barrambie Project hosts one of the world’s highest-grade titanium deposits and is also highly prospective for gold mineralisation. Minimal gold exploration has occurred since the 1990s within Neometals’ 505 square kilometre tenure, which contains approximately 40km strike of the BGSB. The potential for high-tenor gold mineralisation within the Barrambie Project is demonstrated by several historic mines within the BGSB (with a combined average production grade of 24.8g/t)[3] and evidenced in an extensive exploration dataset.
Based on this extensive exploration dataset, in 2024 the Company announced an Exploration Target between 8Mt at an average grade of 1.3g/t Au and 10.5Mt at an average grade of 2.3g/t Au, for an implied 335k to 775k ounces[3] , outlining the potential of the Project to host multiple gold occurrences.
Neometals has recently resumed gold exploration for first time in over 20 years, with a view to advance and grow existing and new targets. Initial efforts have focussed on Ironclad, the subject of a 1988 Notice of Intent lodged by a previous explorer (Samson Exploration NL), which contemplated multiple mines feeding a central processing facility at Barrambie[6] . The Company’s targeted mapping and drilling in the first half of 2025 has culminated in an initial 13,000 Au ounce Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate[2] for the Ironclad deposit and the Company is currently working to grow and advance the deposit towards production.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT- EXPLORATION TARGET
The Competent Person cautions that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature and insufficient gold exploration has been undertaken to support estimation of a gold Mineral Resource for the Barrambie Project (notwithstanding the initial Ironclad Inferred MRE[2] ) and that there is no certainty that future exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
The Competent Person further cautions that exploration data relied on for this Exploration Target is based on activity undertaken by previous historical operators and have not or may not have been previously reported under the JORC Code or any of its precedents and the Competent Person considers that these data are indicative and not absolute measures of the presence of gold mineralisation.

APPENDIX 3 - JORC Table 1
Section 1 - Sampling Techniques, and Data
Details regarding historic exploration data being reported have been sourced from various WAMEX report and discussed in full in previous Neometals’ ASX announcements of 23 September 2024 titled “Barrambie Gold Exploration Target” and 5 February 2025 titled “Barrambie - Maiden Gold Drilling Commences”. Information below is referenced to the source WAMEX reports:
-
reference marked ( 1 ) in the below tables relate specifically to A23650 & 22837 submitted by Samson Exploration NL 1987, and
-
reference marked ( 2) in the below tables relate specifically to A49171& A52165 submitted by Acclaim Exploration NL 1996 & 1997.
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections).
| Criteria | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques |
1. Sampling techniques include chip sub-sampling of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. 2. Sampling techniques include chip sub-sampling of RC drilling and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling. The Competent Person considers that historic sampling was appropriate for this style of exploration and consistent with common industry practise at the time. |
| Drilling techniques |
1. Historic drilling includes various campaigns of RAB, RC and diamond drilling. rig details were not reported. 2. Historic drilling includes various campaigns of RAB and RC drilling. RAB drilling was completed by Orbit Drilling using a KL150 drilling rig with 250psi/650cfm capacity and Lee Drilling using a Gemco H13R drilling rig with 200psi/550cfm capacity. Holes were drilled at -60° to refusal (orientations varied with area). RC drill rig details were not reported. The Competent Person considers that drilling was undertaken in accordance with good practice at the time and has no reason to question the results of that drilling other than to apply caution commensurate with historical data. |
| Drill sample recovery |
1 & 2. Historic reports do not provided information regarding sample recovery. The Competent Person does not consider that this will have a material effect on the interpretation of preliminary gold exploration but suggests caution when using this information in future estimation of Mineral Resources and that the lack of sample recovery data be considered in the JORC classification assigned. |
| Logging | 1. Handwritten drill logs included hole ID, collar co-ordinates, sample number, end of hole depth and geologically logged on metre intervals. Geological logs were generally in summary form in both the WAMEX reports and drafted onto some cross-sections included in the additional data being reported. 2. A representative selection of RAB chips were collected in sieves and washed, then logged using a 1OX hand-lens. Logging results were noted onto a lithological log, which recorded other details such as collar information, water depth, sample quality, drilling time and laboratory details. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
1. Samples were collected at 1m intervals by spearing. Details regarding sample preparation at the assay lab are not reported. Samples were dispatched to Minlab of Perth for gold determination by aqua regia, with a detection limit of 0.05ppm. 2. Samples were laid out in 1m piles next to the hole with a pin marker placed in the first metre with the hole number marked on it. Samples were collected using a measured aluminium scoop as four metre composites in calico bags with an average sample weight of about 2.4kg. The scoop allowed an equal amount (approx 600g) of sample to be taken from each pile. Samples were then packed in labelled polywoven sacks and delivered to Key Transport Meekatharra for transport to Perth. The four metre composite samples were sent to Genalysis Perth for analysis. The 2kg samples were dried, subjected to a single stage mix and grind (SSMG) in an LMS disc mill. Digestion was by the Genalysis B-type digest, a wet chemical Au and multi-element digest and analysed for Au (0.01ppm), As (5ppm), Cu (1 ppm), Pb (1 ppm), and Zn (1 ppm). Anomalous composites (above 0.2g/t) were resampled on a 1m interval (using similar scoop technique) and these samples were dried subject to a bulk SSMG, a B-type digest then analysed for Au (0.01 ppm) only. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
1. Approximately 5% of the coarse rejects were submitted to Resource Development Laboratories of Perth for cross-checking by Fire Assay. 2. Check analyses, performed in addition to the regular insertion of appropriate reference standards, include the assaying of 4% of a random selection of duplicate assays for all elements, as well as up to 6% of selected gold repeats. Limited historical QAQC is described in historic reports however all historical samples are assumed by the Competent Person to have been prepared and assayed by then- current industry standard techniques and methods. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
1 & 2. Historic protocols for data collection, data entry, verification, and storage are not detailed in the WAMEX reports. With respect to Neometals’ compilation of this historic data, all work was conducted by experienced geologists from publicly available digital data sets or digitised from original reports. Digitised datasets were visually validated in both two and three dimensions. Once validated, complete datasets were compiled and uploaded to the hosted database. The database hosting software includes automated error checking to flag any incorrect codes or numerical data outside of expected ranges. |
| Location of data points |
1 & 2. Historic data was generally sourced from hand-written geological logs and included design hole dips and azimuths and manual compass readings or averages of survey tool measurements. Historical collars are recorded as being located by compass, hip and chain measurement, or unknown methods. The original coordinates were recorded in local grid and converted to MGA94 zone 50 using an automatic transformation where possible. Where unknown local grids were used, historic maps were geo-referenced and collars were digitised. In some cases, minor corrections to collar locations were used based on visibility of historic drill pads on aerial photography and satellite images. Little information has been provided in terms of downhole survey methods. Historical reports indicate a mix of compass, north-seeking gyro, Eastman single shot, and multi shot downhole cameras being used. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
1. Single RC & RC/DD holes at Barrambie Ranges were drilled -60° to the west on 20m spaced lines. |

| 2. RAB holes at Silver Lining were drilled -60° to the east at 30m and 40m centres on 50m spaced E-W lines. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
1 & 2. Drilling is oriented either -60° to 260° or 090°,perpendicular to the known mineralisation trends. |
| Sample security | 1 & 2. Sample security measures are generally not referenced specifically in the reports, although descriptions suggest an industry standard approach to chain of custody. The Competent Person has not seen any evidence that historic sample security presents any material problem for this data but that usual caution be applied commensurate with historical data. |
| Audits or reviews | 1 & 2. WAMEX reports do not include information regarding independent audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. The Competent Person advises that caution be exercised when interpreting historic data. |
Section 2 - Reporting of Exploration Results

| Criteria | Commentary |
| Geology | The Barrambie Gold Project is located within the Barrambie Greenstone Belt, a narrow, NNW-SSE trending Archaean greenstone belt in the northern Yilgarn Craton. The lenticular greenstone belt is approximately 60km long and attains a maximum width of approximately 4km and is flanked by banded gneiss and granitoids. The greenstone belt is dominated by the Barrambie Sill, an anorthositic magnetite-bearing gabbro, that intrudes a sequence of metasediments, banded iron formation, metabasalts and metamorphosed felsic volcanics. Mineralisation at Barrambie Ranges is hosted to the east of the gabbro sill at or close to the sheared eastern contact of a meta-arenite unit and meta-siltstone / tuff unit. Mineralisation is spatially related the intersection of converging northwest and north trending structures along a 4kmcorridor as defined by drilling and/or historic workings. Mineralisation at the Silver Lining prospect, located at the north end of the Barrambie Ranges trend is associated with relatively thin gabbro units between packages of sediments and probably represents small intrusive dykes originating from the main Barrambie Sill to the west. Quartz-rich meta-sandstones are fine to medium grained and typically more massive to weakly foliated with a chloritic matrix. Granitised versions contain little or no chlorite, with fine to medium grained quartz phenocrysts set in a fine- grained feldspathic matrix which is usually strongly iron (Ii) stained. Metapelites in the area are typically strongly foliated fine grained chloritic-quartz schists with variable sericite. Strongly weathered versions are purple-brown in colour from the weathered chlorites. |
| Drill hole Information |
Holes were nominally drilled -60° to 090° and -60° to 260° (MGA94 Zone 50). Hole depths vary between 8m to 180m. A list of the drill hole details (including coordinates and orientations) and intersections the subject of this announcement are provided in Appendices 1 and 2. |
| Data aggregation methods |
Intercepts tabulated in Appendix 2 are calculated using 0.2g/t Au lower cut off and a maximum internal dilution of 3m. No top assay cut was applied. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
Historic data being reported is from holes drilled perpendicular to controlling mineralised structures. |
| Diagrams | Geological and drill locations are provided in plans included in the announcement to which this table is attached. |
| Balanced reporting |
Details of historic exploration data provided in Appendix 1 and diagrams accompanying this announcement and Appendix 2 lists material significant intercepts. It can be assumed that holes or portions of holes not reported in Appendix 2 are below the minimum grade criteria of 0.2g/t Au. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
