FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:
“Our Phase 2 drilling at Forrest has been a resounding success, building on the strong foundation of Phase 1 results and achieving the dual goals of testing shallow gold mineralisation in oxide trends as well as the continuation of identified primary fresh rock lodes.
“The Phase 2 results have unlocked extensions to existing gold mineralisation in multiple directions, successfully demonstrating strong continuation of shallow oxide mineralisation and identifying further highfresh rock lodes. The results also include FBM’s highest gram-metre intercept to date at Miriam, with hole FGRC027 returning 12m @ 12.18 g/t Au from 48m.
“The results are clear: Forrest represents a much larger, higher-grade gold system than originally anticipated. This dynamic mineralised system is now interpreted to possess multiple stacked lodes of gold mineralisation with potentially significant strike lengths.
“We intend to immediately follow-up these results with a planned Phase 3 drilling programme set to commence in late November once all Phase 2 assays results are received. Residual Phase 2 assay results, which pertain to the follow-up drilling from Phase 1 discovery at the Canyon prospect, are expected to be received in coming weeks.”
Phase 2 drilling delivers significant extensional growth at Forrest
FBM’s Phase 2 RC drilling programme was completed in October 2025 and consisted of 35 holes for over 3,700m. 0F[1,] 1F[2] The Phase 2 programme was designed to rapidly follow up the substantial exploration success achieved during the Phase 1 programme at the Forrest and Canyon prospects, along with initial drilling at Forrest South.
Forrest prospect
Phase 2 drilling at Forrest consisted of 22 drill holes for approximately 2,800m (refer Figure 1). The Phase 2 programme at Forrest had dual aims. The first objective was further extending the shallow oxide gold lodes identified during the Phase 1 programme. This included a follow-up to hole FGRC004 (Phase 1), which intercepted 33m @ 2.80 g/t Au from 35m. The second objective was to further evaluate and extend the fresh rock gold lode identified in hole FGRC003 (Phase 1), which returned 12m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 75m. 2F[3]
Incorporating the Phase 1 results into FBM’s geological model of Miriam highlighted potential extension zones in both the north and south of the Forrest system. Grid drilling was planned to further delineate these trends. The fresh rock lode identified in FGRC003 had limited geological controls. As a result, grid drilling over 150m to the south was conducted to help identify the potential trend of this important lode.

Significantly, all three fence lines of drilling to the south intercepted gold mineralisation, which suggests a potential stacked, multiple-lode gold system consisting of sub-vertical thick high-grade gold lodes which remain open to the southwest and northeast along strike and at depth (refer Figure 2).
==> picture [456 x 344] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Schematic Long section of the Forrest Prospect
Hole FGRC024, an immediate southern step-out drill hole from FGRC003, achieved 25m @ 3.28 g/t Au from 119m including a high-grade zone of 6m @ 10.76 g/t Au from 131m down hole (refer Figure 3). Importantly, this intercept was mineralised to end of hole, indicating that the Forrest system remains open at depth and updip with significant grade and thickness potential remaining to be tested.
Drilling in this area also achieved the single best FBM intercept at Miriam by gram-metres, with hole FGRC027 returning 12m @ 12.18 g/t Au from 48m which intercepted a mineralised shear within transitional and fresh rock . This intercept represents a new thick high-grade primary lode which is open updip and at depth and along strike north-south .
The southernmost fence line of drilling intercepted 12m @ 1.35 g/t Au from a shallow 16m (FGRC032). This represents a 150m extension of shallow oxide mineralisation at the Forrest prospect , which remains open to the south and at depth and also updip in places .

Figure 3: Cross section of FGRC024
To the north, FBM has successfully extended the thick high-grade intercept of hole FGRC004 with immediate step-out drill hole FGRC012 intercepting 21m @ 1.00 g/t Au from 18m including 6m @ 2.14g/t Au from 26m (refer Figure 4). Importantly, this highlights that this key gold lode extends nearer to surface . This is highly complementary to the results of Phase 1 , where holes drilled on the immediate northern section including FGRC005 (14m @ 2.08 g/t Au from 55m) and FGRC006 (19m @ 1.79 g/t Au from 25m) further highlighted the presence of this important thick shallow gold lode.
Additionally, the northernmost line drilled at Forrest in hole FGRC023 continued to intercept mineralisation, returning 2m @ 3.91 g/t Au from 41m. This represents more than 500m of continuous, consistent gold mineralisation across a north-south strike .
Other notable intercepts include hole FGRC013, which returned a shallow intercept of 16m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 20m and an additional, encouraging fresh rock intercept of 3m @ 1.27 g/t Au within 7m @ 0.81 g/t Au from 136m.

Forrest South prospect
At Forrest South, two Phase 2 holes (FGRC034 and FGRC035) were designed to test the historical intercept of 16m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 44m (LDC007) 3F[4] . Only low-level anomalism was intercepted within these two holes. Further work will be required to better understand the nature of the gold mineralisation in this area.
Next steps
Results from the Phase 2 programme have significantly increased the scale potential of the Forrest gold system , which was previously perceived to be limited to predominantly an oxide system. The new high-grade fresh rock intercepts at Forrest reflect a larger-scale, dynamic gold system with multiple sub-parallel lodes within a system that has a potentially significant strike length .
Receipt of residual Phase 2 assay results (Canyon prospect holes) is expected in coming weeks. The new Miriam Phase 3 RC drilling programme is then scheduled to commence in late November 2025, with a focus on further testing these new lodes at Forrest which remain open..
With heritage surveys recently completed over the northern half of Miriam – covering the Burbanks Monarch, Goroke, Blue Bell and Grand Junction regional prospects – a soil sampling programme is set to commence to further refine these northern targets and identify potential new high-priority drill targets. These northern targets are planned to be systematically tested in drill programmes across 2026 to further confirm the Miriam shear as a conduit for gold and Miriam’s broader gold prospectivity.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition, Table 1
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
| CRITERIA | 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 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 (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g 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. |
• Reverse Circulation drilling collects a 1m bulk sample. A 2-3kg sample is cone split from the drill rig and collected in a pre-marked calico bag. 4m composites samples are collected proportionally via spear from the 1m bulk sample. Both 1 metre and 4 metre composites are selected for fire assay purpose producing a 50g homogenised split for assay. When anomalous 4m composite samples intercepts >0.1g/t Au are received the corresponding zone is then sub assayed to their 1m sample. • Certified reference material, including known standards and blank material are inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 for primary samples, field duplicates are collected at 1 in 30. • Analysis of QA/QC results is undertaken by the company to ensure sampling accuracy. • Laboratory (ALS) also perform internal Qa/Qc sampling at a rate of 1 to 25. |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
• Reverse Circulation uses 5.5 inch pneumatic hammer to pulverise oxidised and fresh rock which is then delivered to the cyclone and cone splitter via compressed air. |
| 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. |
• All 1m samples and 4m composite samples are weighed and recorded in the FBM database. • Bulk sample recovery was measured/commented in sample logs. • No sample bias relationship has been identified. |
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
• Drill holes have been geologically logged by geologists in the field, recording lithology, oxidation, weathering, texture, structure and mineralogy • Geological data has been recorded on FBM database. Logging is a qualitative nature. |

This is uploaded sequel server database hosted on Maxwell Geoservices proprietary software and managed for FBM by an external database company Mitchell River Group Pty Ltd. • No adjustments are made to assay data • Gold significant intercepts are calculated using a 0.3g/t lower cut off. • Grade by metre calculations are a simple multiplication of the gold grade by the width of the intercept and this is used to weight the significance of an intercept. • FBM previously twinned selective historic drill holes of identified lodes to determine accuracyof historic results. |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),trenches,mine workings and |

• At Forrest, holes were drilled on 30-40m spacing, 60m line spacing. • Data spacing is appropriate for identifying continuous and non- continuous geochemical anomalies and future Mineral Resource estimates. |
| 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. |
• Drilling has been conducted on E-W grid lines. Geological units in the region have a dominantly N-S to NE-SW strike. As such the E-W drilling provides relative oblique interceptions to stratigraphy. • Drilling intercepted both oxide/supergene mineralisation and fresh bedrock intercepts. More drilling is required to better determine the dip and direction of the fresh bedrock gold mineralisation which is currently modelled as steep sub vertical lodes with potential east or west dips.

• Maximum Au assay has been represented in the maps. This data is included in the collar table • Significant intercept assay data has been tabled. (Table 1) |
|
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• Grade by metre iconology have been included in maps. Cutoff ranges are shown in legends • Significant intercepts are considered as intercepts >0.3g/t Au and include up to 2m internal dilution. This is considered a significant intercept for a known gold bearing system. • Significant intercepts which include both 1m samples and 4 metre composites are calculated via a length weighted average. • All 4 metre composites which return results >0.1g/t will be sub assayed to corresponding 1m samples and 1 metre samples will then take priority once results are received. |
| 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’). |
• All results are reported as down hole length only. Mineralisation is interpreted as flat lying lodes however geological understanding is still insufficient and further drilling planned by FBM aims to address the uncertainty. |
| 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. |
Relevant diagrams have been included within the announcement. |
| 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. |
• Assay data has been represented for all holes drilled in the project area including holes with no significant intercept. |
| 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 |
• No other substantive data exists. |
