Ora Banda Mining Limited (ASX: OBM) (“Ora Banda”, “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Riverina Underground Mine and Sand King Development Project - which together form the centrepiece of the Company’s DRIVE to 100 Project, which is targeting production of more than 100,000 ounces in FY25.

2

Ora Banda Mining Limited’s Managing Director, Luke Creagh, said:

“The Riverina Underground mine will soon fulfil the role of the primary producing asset at Davyhurst, taking over from the Siberia open pits. The mine is now well advanced with stoping coming online and impressive grades coming back from the infill drilling and face sampling. We are pleased with the rate of progress and look forward to ramping this up to commercial production expected in the June quarter and seeing the full potential benefit of the stoping tonnes and grade reaching the processing plant.

“The recent Sand King drilling success continues with a focus on the newly discovered high grade lode system in the north, hidden from surface under the gently dipping ultramafic unit. We are currently advancing the mining study to determine the potential for Sand King to become the second underground gold mine for the Davyhurst Project.”

Riverina Underground Mine

Stoping commenced in March with rapid ramp up set for June Quarter

Progress in the mine continues to advance strongly, with stoping commenced on the first level, ore development well underway on the second level (2275) and with the decline advancing toward the third level (2255). As the capital development advances ahead of the working areas the optionality continues to increase as more development headings become available to the jumbos.

Geologically the lode widths and grades intersected in the ore development drives continues to typically meet and/or exceed the pre-mining expectation. The lode geometry is regular and predictable, combining with ground conditions that are considered good.

The overall development rates remain strong, with March achieving 588 metres, which is the highest monthly advance rate for the Project to date. Management focus is aimed at a continued increase in the development metres towards the steady state target of 650m per month.

Sand King Development Drilling Program Riverina

OBM commits to Phase 3 program based on drilling success

Recent drilling has led to a newly discovered high grade lode system in the north of the Sand King project area that combines well with the previously discovered discrete high grade lodes in the south of Sand King. Further success has led the Company to expand the Phase 2 program that aims to expand the known resource and to further build the Sand King mineral resource base.

Work has commenced on a mineral resource update that will underpin the Sand King mining study. Infrastructure, hydrological, geotechnical, mining and metallurgical evaluations are well advanced.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Siberia Project Overview

The Siberia project comprises the Missouri, Sand King, Palmerston, Bewick Moering, Theil Well and Black Rabbit deposits with a total gold endowment of 750koz[1] , made up of published mineral resources of 4,149,000 tonnes @ 3.4g/t for 458,000 ounces[2] and historical production of 293,000 ounces at a grade of 2.5g/t[1] , predominantly from open pit sources. Siberia is located 37km southeast of the Davyhurst processing plant and approximately 80km northwest of Kalgoorlie within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Siberia has been the focus for the Company’s most recent open pit mining endeavours having produced 118,000 ounces[1] since mining recommenced in 2021. The Company is now turning its attention to the underground potential of the Siberia Complex noting that 95% of the 12,700 holes drilled to date are less than 100 metres in depth, meaning the underground exploration search windows are largely unexplored.

Sand King Overview

Sand King was previously mined by Western Mining Corporation (WMC) from the late 1980’s to 1991 by open pit methods, producing approximately 50,000 ounces at 4.8g/t. Under OBM, a small cutback to the south commenced in August 2023 and was completed in early January 2024, mining 11,400 ounces at 1.7g/t. The Sand King mineralised system is over 1km of strike length, with mineralisation tested to over 300 metres at depth and remains open both along strike and at depth.

Geology and Structural Synthesis

Early Shears

There are early shears in two distinct orientations at Sand King. One shear system strikes towards 010° and the other strikes towards 330°. Both dip to the north-east, forming a conjugate pair. Several definable shear structures have been either mapped in the pit and/ or logged in the diamond core. The shears are ductile, having formed in a deep tectonic environment. The shears vary from a few cm to +/-1 metre wide and were poorly mineralised or unmineralised at formation.

Mineralised vein system

Tension veins consisting of quartz, potassic alteration with sulphides and gold were later emplaced at Sand King. The tension veins formed from hydrostatic pressure at shallower depths and have either a 060° or 090° strike orientation. The 060° orientation is dominant with strike lengths of up to several hundred metres while the 090° veins are less strike extensive and frequently terminate on the 060° veins.

The interaction of late veins with early shears

The behaviour of the tension veins when they intersect the early shears depends on the shear and vein orientations. Observed interactions include:

  • 090° veins frequently terminate on 060° veins

1 Historical production figures sourced from internal Company Records (updated from Monarch Gold 2008)

2 For further details see ASX Announcement dated 26 October 2023

12

  • 060° and 090° veins terminate and at times migrate along 330° shears

  • Tension veins frequently pass through 010° shears

The 330° shears are strongly foliated and frequently quartz filled which becomes a host for the gold introduced by the later tension veins. When the tension veins intersect the 330° shears the ore bearing fluids migrate up and down the shear, causing grade and volume “blowouts”. The 010° shears exhibit a weak planar foliation, without quartz and are generally a poorer gold host.

Mineral stretching lineations in the 330° shears imply a steep northerly plunge to the gold mineralisation. Boudinaged quartz in shears are infrequently observed but boudin necks plunge steeply north confirming the overall mineralisation plunge. Furthermore, the intersection of the steep north dipping tension veins with the moderate north dipping 330° and 010[o] shears give a steep north plunge to the high-grade blow-outs.

Implications for mining

There are four gold bearing structural orientations at Sand King, 090°, 060°,010° and 330°. The 090° and 060° tension veins are well mineralised with good mining potential. The 330° and 010° shears are well mineralised where intersected by the 090° and 060° tension veins. Where several spaced tension veins intersect the shears, they are well mineralised over a reasonable strike length, again with good mining potential.

Appendix 2 - JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data - Riverina

Information for historical (Pre Ora Banda Mining Limited from 1996 and 2001) drilling and sampling has been extensively viewed and validated where possible. Information pertaining to historical QAQC procedures and data is incomplete but of a sufficient quality and detail to allow drilling and assay data to be used for resource estimations. Further Ora Banda Mining Limited has undertaken extensive infill and confirmation drilling which confirms historical drill results. Sections 1 and 2 describe the work undertaken by Ora Banda Mining Limited and only refer to historical information where appropriate and/or available.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques		 •
Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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.
•
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample retrospectivity 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 (eg ‘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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information		 •

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

Riverina Gold NL; RC holes were inclined at 60oand oriented either east or west.
•
Ora Banda Mining Limited (OBM) – RC drilling is predominately inclined at between -50 and -60 degrees towards
the west. Drilling inclined to the east is only done when lodes are deemed to be vertical or if local landforms
prevent access. Underground diamond drilling – collared from decline cuddies in sub-horizontal and inclined fans
cutting across sub-vertical lodes, holes are designed to optimise intersection angles and reduce bias for Main Lode
East and West. Some bias is present for the Murchison lodes, given their close proximity to the drill cuddies and
this impact is mitigated through detailed wall/backs mapping of Murchison lode intersections in underground
workings and future targeted grade control drilling

Drilling, sampling and assay procedures and methods as stated in the database and confirmed from Wamex reports
and hard copy records are considered acceptable and to industry standards of the time.
Geology •
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.		 •
The geology of the Riverina area consists of an interlayered sequence of meta-basalts, meta-sediments and
ultramafics, rarely cross-cut by narrow pegmatite dykes. The local stratigraphy strikes roughly N-S with primarily
steep east to sub-vertical dips. The area has been affected by upper greenschist to lower amphibolite grade
metamorphism with many minerals exhibiting strong preferred orientations. All rock units exhibit strain via zones
of foliation, with strongly sheared zones more common in ultramafic lithologies. Contemporaneous strike faults
and late stage thrust faults have dislocated the stratigraphy and hence, mineralisation.
•
Gold mineralisation is hosted by quartz-sulphide and quartz-Fe oxide veining primarily in the metabasalts.
Metasediments and ultramafics may also contain gold mineralised quartz veining, although much less abundant.
Gold mineralisation is also seen in silica-biotite-sulphide and silica-sericite-sulphide alteration zones in the
metabasalts.
Drill hole
Information		 •
A summary of all information

holes:
o
easting and northing of
the drill hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced

drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the
hole
o
down hole length and
interception depth
o
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.		 •
See list of drill intercepts.

Data aggregation
methods		 •
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg 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
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
•
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.		 •
Original assays are length weighted. Grades are not top cut. Lower cut off is nominally 1.0g/t. Due to the narrow
nature of mineralisation a minimum sample length of 0.2m was accepted when calculating intercepts. Maximum
2m internal dilution.
•
Metal equivalents not reported.
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 (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).		 •
Intercept widths are down hole lengths. True widths are not reported given the varying orientation of drilling and
mineralisation at each deposit/prospect mentioned in the report.
•
The geometry of the mineralisation at Riverina South is approx. N-S and sub vertical. Surface drilling is oriented
perpendicular the strike of the mineralisation. UG drilling from drill cuddy with hole radiating in fans. Holes testing
strike extremities are at lower angles to the ore lode and therefore not true widths, while those perpendicular to
the lode can approximate true widths.
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 drill
hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.		 •

‘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

Geology •
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.		 •
Sand King is an orogenic lode style deposit hosted by mafic rocks, predominantly basalt.
•
Gold mineralisation at Sand King takes the form of stacked quartz-biotite-feldspar-sulphide shear lodes within the
basalt. Widths vary from sub 1m to ~ 6m true width. Occasionally blow outs occur with >6m true width. Mineralised
structures are NE-SW striking in the south and normally steeply dipping (~80 degrees) to the north-west while in the
north-eastern end of the deposit most mineralisation is interpreted to strike E-W and dip steeply to the north (~80
degrees)
Drill hole

•
The significant intercept table provides details of drill holes with intercepts of >= 1 gram metres, In cases where
drilling has intercepted a lode position with grades below this value, NSI (no significant intercept) is listed. This

Data
aggregation
methods		 •
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg 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 examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
•
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.		 •
Original assays are length weighted. Grades are not top cut. Lower cut off grade is nominally 1.0g/t. Maximum 2m
internal dilution and minimum width of 0.2m.
•
No metal equivalents reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n 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 (eg ‘down hole
length,true width not known’).		 •
Drilling is predominantly angled at -60oto the south, optimally intersecting the steep north dipping mineralisation. This
drill orientation does not intersect all lodes at optimal angles and as such some drill intercepts are longer than true
widths.
•
All intercept widths reported are down hole lengths. The geometry of mineralisation is known for the Sand King deposit.
However, no attempt has been made to report true widths.
•
Some drill programs required shallow angle (~30O) diamond drilling to hit specific targets within the constraints of
existing mining infrastructure (existing pit and dumps)
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 drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.		 •
See plans and sections.
