Following on from the successful rock chip sampling program, the Company completed a 1,311-line km Falcon Plus aerial gravity survey over the Junction Prospect, which defined a structurally complex, “transfer-zone” geometry that is an ideal architecture for targeting mafic-ultramafic intrusion related mineral systems (ASX: OM1, 10 August 2022).

The airborne gravity survey was completed using the FalconPlus Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (“ AGG ”) survey system. High-resolution FalconPlus AGG gravity data was effective in mapping the subsurface architecture where regionally acquired magnetics and gravity datasets have been ineffective. The gravity survey consisted of 1,311-line kilometres, flown on 400m traverse spacing, along a 090˚-270˚ (E-W) traverse line direction. No detailed gravity data has historically been acquired over the Ord Basin Project and will be used to target follow-up electromagnetic surveys.

Omnia completed a 126-sample UltraFine+™ (“ UFF ”) soil geochemistry program highlighted the anomaly in the Northern Exploration Target, as well as a platinum, palladium, and nickel anomaly in the Southern Exploration Target (ASX: OM1, 11 December 2024) (Figure 1). The campaign involved collecting soil samples from 100m x 200m spaced grids at a depth of approximately 15cm and was designed as a first-pass screening to assess mineralisation potential.

At the Northern Exploration Target, results revealed peak gold values of up to 32.8ppb and copper values up to 1,200ppm.

ASX:OM1 I OMNIAMETALS.COM.AU

ASX: OM1

At the Southern Exploration Target, results returned PGE values of up to 324ppb, 0.3g/t Au and peak nickel values of up to 1,800ppm.

The soil sampling campaign was conducted in close collaboration with representatives of the Purnululu people, who were on site to monitor progress by the Company (Figure 2).

The next stage of exploration involves a follow-up aerial VTEM survey. Based on these results, the Company will then complete geological mapping, follow-up geochemistry sampling and auger drilling during H1 2025, which the Company has received approval from the Purnululu Aboriginal Corporation to complete.

Salt Creek Project – Goldfields, Western Australia

Omnia identified gold and copper targets across its Salt Creek Project, north-east of Kalgoorlie, following geophysical survey acquisition and independent review of gravity and magnetics datasets (ASX: OM1, 26 July 2024). Southern Geoscience Consultants recently completed modelling and interpretation work on data from one of the Exploration Licences (E28/3149) (see Figure 3).

Omnia previously completed a 45-hole aircore (“ AC ”) drill program at the Salt Creek Project. This program is the first program of a ~9,000m aircore drilling program that is budgeted to be completed at the Project, with the remaining drilling to focus on tenement E28/3149. The composite assay results have been returned from the drilling completed on E39/2238. Anomalous gold, copper and nickel values were observed, however due to the extensive cover (up to 80m) the bottom-of-hole aircore results are considered preliminary in nature and further follow-up work is required (ASX: OM1, 25 July 2023).

The Company recently completed a Heritage Survey with the Upurli Upurli Native Title Group (“ UUNAC ”) during its Salt Creek Project, located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia (ASX: OM1, 25 February 2025). The Heritage Survey was performed to ensure there would be no impact on the traditional lands of the Upurli Upurli people by the approved Program of Work (“ PoW ”) to complete up to 5,000m of RC drilling. Last year, Omnia submitted a Heritage Impact Notice (“ HIN ”) that detailed the PoW to the UUNAC. Omnia received a response to the HIN that the Company has approval to complete drilling following completion of the Heritage Survey

The next stage of exploration involves 5,000m of RC drilling to target the high priority targets delineated from the previously completed geophysical survey. Subject to the availability of contractors, the Company anticipates it will be able to commence the RC drilling program in June and it will take approximately 5 weeks to complete. The Company expects to be able to release the assay results between 4-6 weeks following completion of the RC drilling.

EXPLORATION UPDATE ON LAC DES MONTAGNES PROJECT – CANADA

The Company’s first phase of mapping and rock chip sampling was conducted in August and September 2023 where 1,113 rock chip samples and 90 soil samples were collected at numerous outcropping pegmatites of interest over the 540km[2] project area. This campaign included rock chip sampling, trial soil sampling and trial ground magnetics of high priority targets across the project (refer ASX release dated 5 September 2023), which covers more than 600km[2] of prospective ground in Quebec. Assay results for 1,178 rock chip samples taken during this exploration activity show fertile granite and pegmatite rock units with the potential to host lithium mineralisation (refer ASX release dated 25 July 2024). The Company identified multiple target areas with the Poste Albanel West area identified as the highest priority. Further work is required to determine the most prospective parts of the Lac des Montagnes greenstone belt and further sampling undercover is planned to further our understanding.

COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 12.1

Omnia confirms that it is in compliance with LR 12.1 through its ongoing exploration of its IPO Projects and planning for future exploration work. The Company announced the commencement of exploration in the form of a soil sampling program at the Ord Basin Project on 1 October 2024. Omnia announced the subsequent completion and results from the soil sampling program at the Ord Basin Project on 11 December 2024.

(h) Exploration Results – Salt Creek Project

The Company announced the results of geophysical survey conducted over the Salt Creek Project on 26 July 2024 via the announcement titled “Exploration Update across Multi-Commodity Portfolio”.

Following completion of the geophysical survey, the contractor required ~2 weeks to complete the data processing and apply corrections to the data to account for the variations in terrain and flight conditions. Following initial data processing by the contractor, the Company provided the finalised data to consultant geophysicists, Southern Geoscience Consultants ( SGC ). SGC then completed further data processing and filtering to produce an array of images, SGC also completed forward modelling, 3D modelling and interpretation of results. The SGC process was completed in ~4weeks. Upon receipt of the final modelling products from SGC, Company geologists then reviewed and interpreted the data to establish the links between the geophysical responses and geological observations. The Company then drafted and finalised the ASX release with the Company taking ~2 weeks to complete these steps.

(i) Exploration Results – Lac Des Montagnes Project

The Company announced the results of geophysical survey conducted over the Lac des Montagnes Project on 26 July 2024 via the announcement titled “Exploration Update across Multi-Commodity Portfolio”.

Field work was based out of Nemaska in the James Bay region of Quebec which is a remote First Nations community serviced by unsealed roads. There was significant delay in sending samples from site to ALS Laboratories in Sudbury, Ontario due to the complex logistical requirements and travel distances. Once the samples were received at the laboratory, the large influx of samples being sent to the lab after a major bushfire event in the region meant the lab was congested with samples and sample processing time exceeded ~3 months. The initial results failed certain QAQC protocols and re-assay of numerous samples was required using a different assay methodology. Additionally, the Company participated in a CSIRO project which trialled a new assay technique and samples were required to be sent from Ontario to Perth, Western Australia. The CSIRO project took approx. 2 months to complete with the results indicating the assay methodology being superior to standard techniques in certain environments. Due to the reasons outlined, there was an extended period before final results were received for the sampling programs.
