FBM remains well-funded to undertake all planned exploration activities through 2025 and beyond with a strong cash balance of A$7.4 million and zero debt (as at 31 March 2025).
Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has completed the detailed litho-structural interpretation of geophysical and geochemical data over its 100%-owned Miriam Project, located in the W.A. Goldfields region of Western Australia.
FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:
“The identification of 13 structural targets at Miriam evidences the significant gold prospectivity waiting to be tested there, and further demonstrates the potential across our broader Coolgardie portfolio. This successful review of magnetic geophysics marks another key milestone across the exploration workstreams, which enhances the definition of our search area for subsurface gold mineralisation. Importantly, these targets, point to the regional scale potential for new discoveries in addition to the current known gold mineralisation we have at Miriam. Geochemical soil sampling continues to advance with a further 200 surface samples submitted for analysis. Our geological team will also conduct additional ground truthing and mapping to expand our growing base of prospective gold targets. All this work complements the effective execution of an initial drill programme at Miriam’s Forrest gold target, which remains set to commence in July 2025.”

New targets identified through magnetic geophysics
Following its 100% acquisition of all mineral rights for the Miriam Project in May 2025, FBM completed a review of available historical geological and drilling data. This resulted in the discovery of historical gold mineralised intercepts at Forrest and the identification of numerous other gold occurrences at Forrest South, Jungle and Goroke (refer ASX releases dated 19 May 2025 and 27 May 2025).
The Miriam Project tenure covers a region of the Coolgardie Greenstone Belt overlying a suite of mafic and ultramafic units along with felsic intrusives. Miriam also overlies formations and structural trends that host multiple nearby gold deposits, including Horizon Minerals’ Burbanks (466 koz @ 2.4 g/t Au), Beacon Minerals’ McPhersons Reward (132 koz @ 1.2 g/t Au) and Focus Minerals’ Tindals Mining Centre (2.7 Moz @ 1.8 g/t Au)[2] .

Within the Coolgardie Greenstone Belt, gold appears to be hosted in a range of bedrock lithologies, however structural or chemical deformation and intrusions are often key to gold mineralisation. Magnetic geophysics is used to help identify these critical changes and increase the potential for further exploration success.
In May 2024, FBM engaged geophysical consultants Southern Geoscience to undertake a detailed review and reinterpretation of existing airborne magnetic and radiometric data over the Miriam Project for lithium targets. The review enabled the development of a new litho-structural interpretation of the bedrock geology at a detailed 1:10,000 scale, including the identification of major, secondary and minor faulting within the bedrock units.
FBM has reviewed the same geophysical magnetic data sets with a focus on identifying structures and targets prospective for gold deposition. This now completed review of the geophysical data has resulted in the identification of 13 prospective targets which include both broad and discrete structures of interest. The targets include a combination of lithological changes, localised demagnetisation, faulting and offsetting, which may all be significant for gold mineralisation. Many targets show analogous geophysical characteristics of known mineralisation at the Forrest prospect where gold mineralisation sits on the boundary to a small magnetic high feature. This is interpreted to represent a faulted or sheared contact between mafic and ultramafic units which is likely to extend to the north and south.
Importantly, FBM has identified a similar feature which is present in a 1.75km strike length target to the south of Forrest which incorporates the artisanal surface mining of the Londonderry prospect (not held by FBM). FBM believes this structural feature could be an important conduit for gold mineralisation within the ForrestLondonderry Trend.

Upcoming work programmes
The targets identified through this litho-structural interpretation of geophysics will be further considered against FBM’s ongoing review of gold prospectivity at Miriam, which includes surface geochemistry. FBM has recently collected a further 200 soil samples from Miriam, which will be analysed by LabWest Minerals Analysis utilising Ultrafine+™, an Ultra Fine Fraction process which tests clay particle size fraction soils for gold and gold pathfinder elements.
An initial RC drill programme at Miriam remains scheduled to commence in July 2025. This program is set to focus on initial targets within the Forrest prospect, which boasts historical gold intercepts.

FBM remains fully permitted to conduct exploration and drilling activities over the Miriam Project tenure, with an approved Conservation Management Plan and granted drilling Program of Work in place. Most of the Miriam tenure has already been surveyed by the relevant Native Title Party representative, meaning FBM can rapidly advance towards drill testing of priority drill targets.

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. Sampling is then composited into 4m composites for fire assay purpose. Anomalous intercepts are then sub assayed to their 1m sample. • Air Core drilling collects a 1m bulk sample. Sampling is then composited into 4m composites for fire assay purpose. Anomalous intercepts are then sub assayed to their 1m sample. • Rotary Air Blast Drilling collects a 1m bulk sample. Sampling is then composited into 4m composites for fire assay purpose. |
| 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). |
• Historic results reported include drilling by Reverse Circulation (RC), Air Core (AC) and Rotary Air Blast (RAB). • The drill type has been specified in the appropriate collar table. |
| 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. |
• Results reported are historic and FBM has relied upon public domain data reported by previous project holders. • 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. |
• Results reported are historic and FBM has relied upon public domain data reported by previous project holders. • Drill holes have been lithologically logged by geologists in the field by respective historic explorers • Lithological data has been compiled. Loggingis a qualitativenature. |

| 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 riffle split to obtain an approximate 3kg sample. |
| 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. |

| • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth 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. |
• Maximum Au assay has been represented in the maps. This data is included in the collar table • Significant intercept assay data has been tabled. (Table1) |
|
|---|---|---|
| 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 have been included in maps. Cutoff ranges are shown in legends • Significant intercepts are considered as intercepts >0.1g/t Au and include up to 1m internal dilution. This is considered a significant intercept for first pass drilling technique such as RAB and AC. |
| 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 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. |

magnetic levelling. ● Geophysical data from Bouchers airborne magnetic and radiometric survey flown in 2000 by TAG for Spinifex Nickel Pty Ltd on 40m spaced east-west lines at a ground clearance of 35m. Survey used magnetic base station for magnetic diurnal removal, GPS for location control and tie lines for magnetic levelling, calibrated spectrometer and standard windows for radioelement ground concentrations. ● Lithostructural interpretation of geophysical data by Southern Geoscience Consultants is qualitative in nature and based primarily on magnetic and radiometric survey data with input from various other supporting datasets including geological mapping and soil sampling. The interpretation has been performed at a scale of 1:10 000 Geophysical targets are qualitative in nature and are generated based on the following criteria: interpretation of structural disruption from magnetic survey data, muted local magnetic field strength from magnetic survey data, mapped pegmatite outcrop from geological mapping, soil anomalism from soil sampling, potassium anomalism from radiometric survey data |
