ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

FURTHER BROAD GOLD TARGETS AT BURBANKS EAST

Highlights

  • Seven (7) broad gold targets defined through litho-structural interpretation at Burbanks East.

  • Several targets strongly coincident with elevated geochemical anomalies, including previously identified 2.7km gold-in-soils target with no historically reported drilling.

  • Historical drilling at two of the targets also returned significant intercepts in shallow regolith 0F [1] :8m @ 3.37 g/t Au from 32m (KSC3339)

  • 10m @ 0.9 g/t Au from 36m including 2m @ 3.1 g/t Au (LEB122)

  • 3m @ 4.57 g/t Au from 28m (KSC3314)

  • Burbanks East tenure advancing to grant with FBM currently negotiating a Heritage Protection Agreement with the relevant Native Title Party.

  • Targeted exploration of Burbanks East to follow grant of tenure and complements ongoing programmes at Miriam.

  • Results from completed Phase 1 drilling at Miriam (Forrest and Canyon prospects) expected in early September and set to inform the Phase 2 programme planned to commence in Q4 2025.

  • FBM remains well-funded to undertake all planned exploration activities through 2025 and beyond with a strong cash balance of A$6.4 million and zero debt (as at 30 June 2025).

Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has completed a detailed litho-geophysical review of its Burbanks East Project ( Burbanks East ), located in the W.A. Goldfields region of Western Australia.

FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:

“Systematic evaluation of the expanded Burbanks East tenure is advancing, with the identification of seven broad and discrete structural gold targets, many of which are highly coincident with elevated gold-in soil anomalies previously identified through historical geochemical review.

“These results mirror the gold targeting evaluative work produced to date at Miriam and strongly evidence the significant gold prospectivity waiting to be unlocked across our broader Coolgardie portfolio. Additional ground truthing and mapping at Burbanks East will aim to refine and advance these targets to drill-ready status, while grant of the expanded tenure applications is progressed. Aligned with our approach to date at Miriam, we have a clear model and strategy to target the gold potential at Burbanks East.

“Assay results from the Phase 1 drilling programme at Miriam are expected in early September 2025. These are planned to inform the Phase 2 drilling and support the delivery of an initial gold Mineral Resource Estimate at Miriam during Q4 2025.

New gold targets identified through magnetic geophysics

In June 2025, FBM acquired and staked an additional seven tenements to extend its Burbanks East tenure, bringing the total project landholding to over 10km[2] . Following these applications, FBM commenced an extensive review of all available historical data covering the new tenements to better evaluate the underlying gold potential of the expanded tenure. This included the review of historic surface geochemistry and drilling activities which discovered multiple shallow drilling intercepts and uncovered six (6) broad (>20ppb) gold anomalies (refer FBM ASX release dated 1 July 2025).

FBM has now completed a litho-structural review utilising FBM proprietary magnetic geophysical data processing at Burbanks East. Burbanks East is situated within the Coolgardie Greenstone Belt, where gold is hosted in a range of bedrock lithologies. Structural or chemical deformation and intrusions are often key vectors to gold mineralisation. Magnetic geophysics is used to help identify these critical attributes and increase the potential for exploration success.

The Coolgardie Belt is known to host numerous gold deposits. Burbanks East is located directly east (~1.5km) of the Burbanks Gold Mine (current resource 466koz @ 2.4g/t Au) 1F[2] owned by Horizon Minerals (ASX: HRZ), Burbanks Mill being acquired by Auric Mining Ltd (ASX: AWJ) 2F[3] and MacPhersons Reward Gold Mine (132koz @ 1.2 g/t Au) 3F[4] owned by Beacon Minerals (ASX: BCN).

FBM engaged geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience, to collate all existing airborne magnetic data over the tenure. Additionally, FBM conducted a small ground magnetic survey of infill areas within the tenure where existing magnetic data was insufficient for the interpretative exercise. These two data sources were subsequently collated and enhanced with the resulting geophysical products enabling FBM to conduct an internal review and litho-magnetic interpretation of Burbanks East. The purpose of FBM’s review was to identify zones of complex structural activity including faulting, shearing and secondary intrusions in order to define potential gold-bearing features.

As a result of this review, FBM has identified seven (7) broad prospective gold targets , characterised by a combination of lithological changes, localised demagnetisation, faulting and offsetting which may all be significant for gold mineralisation.

Figure 1: Burbanks East Magnetic Geophysical Targets (RTP, 1VD, NW shade non-linear)

Many of these structural targets exhibit strong coincidence with previously identified gold anomalies, including the previously identified 2.7km striking gold-in-soil anomaly target which has no historically reported exploration drilling (refer FBM ASX release dated 1 July 2025). This target sits along strike from Beacon Minerals’ MacPhersons Reward and is interpreted to represent a faulted or sheared contact between mafic and ultramafic units. This target is currently interpreted to likely extend both to the north and south (refer Figure 2).

Importantly, FBM has also identified two potential intrusion sites represented by sub-circular demagnetised zones which could be important geological elements to potential gold mineralisation. The results and targets will be further considered against FBM’s ongoing ground truthing and mapping of the anomalous sites.

Historical drilling at two of these targets located in the southern part of the tenement returned significant intercepts in shallow regolith:

  • 8m @ 3.37 g/t Au from 32m (KSC3339)

  • 10m @ 0.9 g/t Au from 36m including 2m @ 3.1 g/t Au (LEB122)

Upcoming work programmes

FBM aims to further evaluate and rank these targets through additional ground truthing and mapping at Burbanks East. This work is set to advance the more prospective gold targets to drill-ready status, while grant of the tenure applications progresses in parallel. Negotiations are advancing steadily towards a Heritage Protection Agreement with the relevant Native Title Party.

Complementing all ongoing exploration activities at Burbanks East, FBM is progressing the development of its geological model at Miriam following the successful completion of Phase 1 drilling. Assay results from the drilling of the Forrest and Canyon prospects are expected in early September and will inform subsequent Phase 2 drilling at Miriam during Q4 2025.

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.
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,
truewidth notknown’).

N/A
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.

N/A
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.
FBM conducted a ground magnetic survey
on 40m spaced 135-315 oriented lines.
Magnetic data were acquired using a
backpack mounted optically pumped
caesium vapour magnetometer with an
accuracy of 0.1 nT. Data locations were
measured using a GNSS receiver in
autonomous mode with an expected
horizontal accuracy of +/-5 m. Magnetic
data were corrected for diurnal variation by
using a static base station within the survey
area. These FBM ground magnetic data
were merged with existing magnetic data
from the 2011 Coolgardie airborne survey.
The Coolgardie airborne survey was
acquired on 50m spaced 135-315 lines at a
nominal height of 40m aboveground level.
