ASX Announcement 16[th] September 2025
Majestic North Gold Project drilling confirms robust supergene mineralisation with grades up to 7.62g/t Au
-
Stage 1 drilling program completed at Majestic North, validating the existing resource and highlighting potential extensions.
-
Multiple shallow gold intersections >1 g/t Au confirm a continuous mineralised zone up to 500m wide over a strike length of 1,500m which remains open to the north and south.
-
Better intersections include:
-
OB_MAC_006 1m @ 3.06g/t Au from 22m
-
OB_MAC_015 3m @ 1.73g/t Au from 32m
-
OB_MAC_038 1m @ 5.94g/t Au from 21m and 1m @ 7.62g/t Au from 30m
-
OB_MAC_052 1m @ 3.48g/t Au from 21m
-
OB_MAC_053 1m @ 3.29g/t Au from 18m
-
Intercepts of 7.62 and 5.94 g/t Au in hole OB_MAC_038 in the northern portion of the deposit highlight a potential high-grade zone.
-
Strong results provide justification for both proceeding with the Majestic North acquisition and further drilling to extend the Resource[1]
Orbminco Limited (ASX: OB1) (“Orbminco” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that its maiden drilling program at the Majestic North Gold Project has confirmed robust, shallow gold mineralisation. The high-quality results justify the Company proceeding with the purchase of 100% of the Project and lay the groundwork for an expansion of the existing resource.

Photo: Aircore drilling at Majestic North
This Stage 1 drilling program comprising 53 vertical aircore holes totalling 3,087m (average depth 58m) marks the first step in Orbminco’s exploration and development activities at the Majestic North Gold Project. The program was drilled as part of the Company’s Due Diligence relating to its agreement to purchase the Project from Fortify Mining Pty Ltd and was designed to validate the existing JORC 2012 resource and test for extensions beyond the historically drilled area.
The drill program intersected shallow, +1g/t Au grades across the existing Resource, verifying the historic drilling. High-grade results (>5g/t Au) in the most northern line may indicate proximity to the primary bedrock source and provide an immediate exploration target for the next drilling program (Figure 1).
The mineralisation is hosted by a flat lying, 1 – 3m thick, supergene horizon 20-30m below the surface and has been defined over a strike length of 1,500m and a width up to 500m (Figures 1 – 4). All significant results from the drilling program are listed in Table 1.
The zone remains open along strike with potential to increase the resource. The bedrock source of the supergene mineralisation, the proximity of which may be indicated by higher grades, is a high priority exploration target and will be tested during the next phase of drilling.
Orbminco looks forward to concluding the purchase of the Project which is subject to a binding term sheet with Fortify Mining Pty Ltd. Following completion of due diligenc, which

General Meeting – Shareholder Approval
Orbminco reminds shareholders that a General Meeting is scheduled for 18th September 2025 to consider and approve the acquisition of Majestic North. The board believes this transaction is of great strategic importance for the Company’s growth and urges all shareholders to cast their votes on the resolution.
The meeting will be held at 11:00 AM (ACST) on that date, as detailed in the Notice of Meeting previously dispatched to shareholders. Shareholder approval of the acquisition is the final key condition required to complete the Majestic North transaction, and the board is optimistic that, with the strong drilling results now delivered, investors will recognise the value of this opportunity.
With this milestone achieved, the Company is moving forward to finalise the acquisition of Majestic North (subject to shareholder approval). The board of Orbminco has expressed its satisfaction with the drilling results and confidence in proceeding with the transaction. Orbminco’s Chairman, Ian Gordon, welcomed the results and highlighted their significance:
“We are extremely pleased with these drilling results, which have well and truly confirmed the robust gold mineralisation at Majestic North. The grades and consistency of these intercepts validate our view of the project’s potential. With the confirmatory drilling now successfully completed, the board has full confidence to move ahead with the Majestic North acquisition.
The upcoming shareholder vote on 18 September is a crucial step, and we strongly encourage all shareholders to participate in this decision, as their support will enable Orbminco to unlock the full value of this promising gold project.”

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)maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• The Majestic North deposit was subject of air core drilling of 53 holes for 3087m. • Samples were taken in 1 m intervals measuring in general between 2 - 3 kg. • Some of the samples were composited to 4m intervals at the top of the holes, determined by results of previous drilling, which indicated that some of the upper layers were devoid of mineralization. • Composite samples which have returned anomalous gold will be re-assayed as individual 1 meter samples. • Samples were riffle split, pulverized to 85% < 75microns • Samples were assayed by ALS Perth, using method Au-TL43, Fire assay and AAS, with a 30g nominal sample weight |

SECTION 2: REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS – Majestic North Project
| 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. |
• Tenements containing the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves are 100% held by FORTIFY MINING Pty Ltd. These are: M25/0369, P25/2618, P25/2619, P25/2620, P25/2621, P25/2789, P25/2790, P25/2791, P25/2792, P25/2798, P25/2799, P25/2800 and E25/635 • The tenements lie on a pastoral lease with access and mining agreements. • The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• The area has been explored by a number of explorers since the 1990s. • The main work was conducted in 2012 by Crest mining including extensive RC and Air-core drilling and a ground magnetic survey. • Justin Gum has compiled the exploration data on the leases around the area and data from the reports has been used in previous interpretation and resource estimation. • Alex Brown has compiled the exploration data on the leases around the area and data from the reports has been used in this interpretation. |
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The majority of the project area is covered by alluvium and colluvium associated with an extensive palaeodrainage system, which currently flows north into Lake Yindarlgooda. The northern parts of the project area are covered in part by playa lakes, dunes and aeolian deposits associated with Lake Yindarlgooda. Historical drilling has interested up to 31 m of transported (Quaternary and Tertiary) cover locally. • Government geology maps show the leases covering the northern and northwestern margins of a granitoid with surrounding felsic ‐ intermediate volcanics. However air- core (AC) drilling in the southeast corner of the tenement package has not intersected granitic rocks, so this lithological boundary lies further south than mapped. The granitoid is part of the Juglah Monzogranite which has intruded the felsic volcanics at the core/axis of the Bulong Anticline., Both the granitoid and the felsics of the Bulong Anticline host gold mineralization. • Mineralization The three most significant mineralised zones are; Western Supergene, Central West and Central zones. Gold was intersected at basement and in the regolith. • Comprehensive drilling coverage across the southern lease has enabled the generation of a well constrained basement geology map. Bottom‐of‐hole lithology is for the most part Archean intermediate volcanics and volcaniclastics. Strongly porphyritic intermediate intrusives were relatively common and often held a roughly north‐northwest linear orientation. Intermediate intrusives of finegranular texture were less common and |
more amorphous in expression. There were minor dolerites and basalts in the centre/west. Sulphide mineralization was rare but some fine cubic pyrite was observed more commonly in the porphyries. All rocks were silicified and displayed low grade greenschist facies alteration. Schistosity was common but seldom intense.
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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 drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation abovesea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho 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. |
• A table is included in the announcement detailing easting, northing, and end of hole data. • All holes in the program were drilled 90°, vertical. |

• 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 examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
• No weighing has been applied. • Compositing has been completed at the top of the holes. • No aggregation has been applied. • No metal equivalents have been used. |
| 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 was conducted at a 90°. • No bias of sampling is believed to exist through the drilling orientation, as the resource is considered horizontal based on historic estimations. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• Refer to Maps, Tables and Diagrams in the document. |

| 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. |
• Significant exploration results are displayed in a table embedded in the announcement. • No resource calculation was conducted using recent drill results. |
| 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. |
• No other relevant exploration data is presented. |
| 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. |
• Deeper drilling targeting the primary gold mineralization is recommended. The deposit is no longer considered to be a paleochannel only and is now considered to comprise a supergene zone sitting over stacked, primary, gold- bearing quartz veins. • Target cross cutting structures at depth. • Bulk density data will need to be collected. |
