ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
SINGLE-METRE ASSAYS ENHANCE HIGH-GRADE GOLD POTENTIAL AT MIRIAM
Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to announce the results of singlemetre samples taken during the gold-focussed Phase 1 Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling programme at its 100%-owned Miriam Project, located in the W.A. Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Highlights
-
Return of single metre assays from Phase 1 RC drilling further evidences the success of FBM’s initial gold exploration strategy at Miriam.
-
Delivered substantial uplift (78% and 67% grade increases, respectively) in:
-
Thick, high-grade mineralisation identified at Forrest in FGRC004: now 33m @ 2.80 g/t Au from 35m, incl. 12m @ 4.39 g/t Au from 35m (previously 33m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 35m)[1] .
-
oKey discovery intercept returned at Canyon in CYRC001: now 18m @ 0.92 g/t Au from 28m, incl. 3m @ 3.28 g/t Au from 43m (previously 20m @ 0.55 g/t Au from 28m)[2] . -
Results assist FBM in better refining definition of key mineralised zones at both Forrest and Canyon, which further improves targeting for upcoming programs.
-
Phase 2 RC drilling now complete, comprising 35 drill holes (over 3,700m) at Forrest, Forrest South and Canyon; assay results are expected from early-mid November 2025.
-
Heritage surveys planned for late October to cover Burbanks Monarch, Blue Bell and Burbanks Grand Junction ahead of planned 2026 regional exploration programs at Miriam.
-
Soil sampling of newly cleared heritage areas to commence in November to further advance targets ahead of planned drilling.
-
FBM remains well-funded to execute all planned exploration activities through the remainder of 2025 and beyond, with cash of A$6.4 million and zero debt (as at 30 June 2025).
FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:
“The exceptional results from our more detailed single metre sampling offers further validation of our gold exploration strategy at Miriam. We now have greater confidence in the previous Phase 1 results and additional insight to the scale of opportunity awaiting us at Forrest and Canyon. These new sampling results have significantly upgraded several key Phase 1 intercepts, including the previous standout Forrest intercept in FGRC004, which now sits at 33m @ 2.80 g/t Au from 35m that is a 78% increase in grade, including 12m @ 4.39 g/t from 35m, as well as materially lifting the result in Canyon hole CYRC001 validating our regional target generation model and enhances Canyon’s continued prospectivity.
“With Phase 2 drilling complete, we now await the receipt of these assay results, which are expected to be received in batches from early-mid November. The single metre assays from Phase 1, along with the upcoming results from our Phase 2 drilling, are set to inform the delivery of an initial MRE for Miriam . These results will also assist in updating our geological model and refining the design of upcoming drill programs at Miriam.”

Phase 1 single-metre assay results produce outstanding intercept upgrades
In July 2025, FBM conducted its Phase 1 RC drilling programme at Miriam, designed to target gold mineralisation at the highly prospective Forrest and Canyon prospects. During Phase 1 drilling, both 4m composite and 1m sampling was completed, with a combination of these results subsequently announced in September 2025 0F[1,] 1F[2] .
4m composite samples were taken from areas where oxidation was too intense to visually identify potential gold mineralisation. Following the full release of Phase 1 results from Forrest and Canyon, FBM returned to the field to collect the corresponding 1m cyclone split samples from any 4m composites which returned a value greater than 0.1 g/t Au.
Single-metre sampling is a superior sampling technique, as the sample is collected directly from an onboard cyclone and cone splitter which produces a more representative sample of the 1m down hole length. The information generated from these samples allows for more refined modelling of deposits and is key to subsequent, detailed Mineral Resource estimation efforts.
The single-metre sample assay results have significantly upgraded several of the key intercepts reported from both Forrest and Canyon. These key updated intercepts are highlighted below and in Table 1.
Forrest prospect
At Forrest, the increased grade and/or width of several of the key intercepts highlights the importance of the Forrest prospect as a potential shallow, high-grade deposit to be further defined through upcoming exploration.
Key single-metre sample assay results include:
-
33m @ 2.80 g/t Au from 35m, including 12m @ 4.39 g/t Au from 33m (FGRC004)
-
Previously: 33m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 35m, including 16m @ 3.10 g/t Au from 44m
-
14m @ 2.08 g/t Au from 55m, including 4m @ 4.30 g/t Au from 64m (FGRC005) Previously: 13m @ 2.21 g/t Au from 56m, including 4m @ 4.30 g/t Au from 64m
-
19m @ 1.79 g/t Au from 25m, including 4m @ 5.72 g/t Au from 37m (FGRC006) Previously: 14m @ 2.29 g/t Au from 30m, including 8m @ 3.52 g/t Au from 36m
-
4m @ 1.28 g/t Au from 34m (FGRC010)
-
Previously: Not reported
Canyon prospect
The updated intercept from CYRC001 represents a clearly more significant discovery result from Phase 1 testing of this zone, which was previously a conceptual geophysical target supported by elevated gold in soils.
Key single-metre sample assay results include:
18m @ 0.92 g/t from 28m including 3m @ 3.28 g/t from 43m (CYRC001)
Previously 20m @ 0.55 g/t Au from 28m, including 4m @ 1.60 g/t Au from 40m
The improvement of results at both Forrest and Canyon further evidences the growing success of FBM’s ongoing gold exploration strategy at Miriam.

Phase 2 drill program completed
Phase 2 RC drilling programme successfully completed at the Miriam Project. The Phase 2 programme was expanded to 35 holes for 3,700m drilled, targeting the Forrest and Canyon prospects along with initial drilling at Forrest South. Drilling at Forrest was targeting:
-
Extension the shallow gold mineralisation identified in Phase 1 drill hole FGRC004 (33m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 35m) 2F[3] by targeting identified oxide trends to the west and north, as well as testing of fresh rock potential in that zone; and
-
Testing the continuation of the primary fresh rock lodes identified in Phase 1 drill hole FGRC003 (12m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 75m, including 1m @ 5.21 g/t Au from 85m)[1] , with successful delineation of the primary lodes potentially leading to a significant increase in scale at Forrest.
At Canyon, follow-up drilling focussed on:
-
Testing extension to the strong gold anomalism within regolith, including 18m @ 0.92 g/t Au from 28m 3F[4] (CYRC001), identified within the Miriam Shear Zone in Phase 1.
-
Targeting the important mineralised shear to the east of CYRC001 and testing deeper fresh rock intercepts for a potential source of the strong regolith intercept.
Initial testing of Forrest South was aimed to validate the lone historical intercept of 16m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 44m (LDC007) 4F[5] located over 250m south of Forrest. Successful validation of gold in regolith at Forrest South could significantly increase the strike length potential of the shallow high-grade mineralisation at Forrest.
All samples have been submitted for assay, with preliminary results expected from early November 2025.

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/coarsematerial. |
• 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. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • 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 been established. |
• 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 proprietry 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 twinned selective historic drill holes of identified lodes to determine accuracy of historic results. |

| of the hole down hole length and interception depth 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 thisis the case. |
• 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 clearlystated. |
• Maximum down hole gold assays and grade by metre 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 waste 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 are sub assayed to corresponding 1m samples and 1 metre samples will then takepriority. |
| 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 notknown’). |
• 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 reportingof 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 test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• No other substantive data exists. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral |
