ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

NEW THICK HIGH-GRADE GOLD LODES AND EXTENSIONS AT FORREST

Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to announce receipt of the first batch of assay results from the recent gold-focussed Phase 2 Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling programme at its 100%-owned Miriam Project, located in the W.A. Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Highlights

  • Assay results received for first 24 holes (~2,800m) of Phase 2 RC drilling programme comprising all holes targeting the Forrest (22 holes) and Forrest South (2) prospects.

  • These results demonstrate an emerging multi-lode gold system at Forrest, with extensive oxide and fresh rock mineralisation, which remains open in multiple directions.

  • Successfully extended significant gold mineralisation over 150m south in multiple oxide and -

  • fresh rock lodes, including returning highest grade and gram metre (gxm) intercept to date. Gold mineralisation now identified over 500m of strike. New intercepts include:

  • 12m @ 12.18 g/t Au fr 48m (146gxm) (transition-fresh lode) (FGRC027)

  • 6m @ 10.76g/t Au from 131m within a broader zone of 25m @ 3.28 g/t Au fr 119m to EOH (fresh lode) (FGRC024)

  • 12m @ 1.25 g/t Au fr 117m (fresh lode) and 16m @ 0.98 g/t Au fr 16m, incl. 8m @ 1.73 g/t Au fr 16m (oxide lode extension to the south) (FGRC025)

  • 12m @ 1.35 g/t Au fr 16m (oxide lode extension to the south, approx. 150m further than previous intercepts) (FGRC032)

  • 4m @ 1.83 g/t Au fr 114m (fresh lode), 4m @ 1.15 g/t Au fr 84m (fresh lode) and 2m @ 2.26 g/t Au fr 129m (fresh lode) (FGRC028)

  • Several fresh rock intercepts modelled as multiple sub-vertical lodes that remain open in multiple directions, representing strong potential for a larger-scale gold system.

  • Drilling to the north-east and north-west successfully demonstrated continuation of shallow oxide mineralisation and prospective fresh rock lodes:

  • 21m @ 1.00 g/t Au fr 18m, incl. 6m @ 2.14 g/t Au fr 26m (oxide) (FGRC012)

  • 16m @ 1.13 g/t Au fr 20m (oxide) and 7m @ 0.81 g/t Au fr 136m, incl. 3m @ 1.27 g/t Au fr 136m (fresh lode) (FGRC013)

  • 1m @ 8.05 g/t Au fr 35m (oxide) (FGRC014)

  • 2m @ 3.91 g/t Au fr 41m (oxide) (FGRC023)

  • Soil sampling to commence shortly to refine these northern targets, and identify potential new targets, ahead of H1 2026 drill programmes.

  • FBM remains well-funded to execute all planned exploration activities through 2026, with cash of A$5.3 million and zero debt (as at 30 September 2025).

  • Upcoming corporate name and ASX ticker change to Ore Resources Ltd (ASX:OR3), pending shareholder approval at FBM Annual General Meeting later this month.

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.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique

Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Sampling of drill chips included
compositing by spear sample on 4m
composites.

Single metre samples were cone split to
obtain an approximate 2-3kg 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 and external consultants
to ensure sampling accuracy.

Laboratory (ALS) also perform internal
Qa/Qc sampling at a rate of 1 to 25.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have beenestablished.

All samples were prepared and assayed
by ALS in Perth

Samples preparation included weighing,
pulverising and splitting.

A 50g split was then assayed via Fire
Assay and Atomic Absorption
Spectrometer under ALS code Au-AA26

The methodology is considered an
industry standard in determining gold
grades in known gold bearing systems.

Internal laboratory Qa/Qc processes
were conducted including the insertion of
Certified reference material, blanks and
duplicates.

Qa/Qc results are acceptable
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intercepts are calculated by
database algorithm and verified by FBM
staff and Database contractors.

All field data is imported to the FBM
geochemistry database utilising industry
data logging software LogChief. 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.

Data spacing
and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

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. Plunge is currently unknown.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

All samples are collected in the field on
the day of drilling and transported
directly to an ALS laboratory located
40km’s away in Kalgoorlie

Samples are delivered daily to the
Kalgoorlie ALS laboratory

ALS transport the samples to a Perth
laboratory for analysis.

All calico sample bags are stored within
prelabelled polly weave bags and zip
tied for transportation.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

Given the early stage nature of the
project, no independent audit or review
has been undertaken.

If the exclusion of this information is

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.
