ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

NEW GOLD TARGETS IDENTIFIED AT MIRIAM PROJECT

Highlights

  • Litho-structural interpretation of aeromagnetic data over Miriam identified thirteen (13) new structural gold targets, individually up to 1.75km long across a 6km tenure strike

  • Critically, numerous local-scale structures and faults coincide with historic drilling data for gold anomalism including the existing Forrest, Jungle, Burbanks Monarch, Blue Bell, Prospecting and Londonderry targets.

  • Surface geochemical review continues, with a further 200 surface samples collected to be analysed for gold and gold pathfinders, with results expected late June.

  • FBM’s geological team also set to conduct further ground truthing and mapping.

  • Initial RC drill program at Miriam, focused on Forrest gold targets, remains on track to commence in July 2025.

  • Historical drilling of the Forrest prospect intercepted[1] :

  • 12m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 60m (MRC97-15)

  • 10m @ 2.51 g/t Au from 30m (FGA002)

  • 10m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 30m and 4m @ 4.86 g/t Au from 73m (MRC97-5)

  • 5m @ 7.35 g/t Au from 70m (MRC97-25)

  • 8m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 28m (MRC97-17)

  • 9m @ 1.07 g/t Au from 51m (MRC97-12)

  • 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.

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.
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;

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

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
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.

FBM plans to conduct further target
generative exploration including
geophysical review and surface
sampling.

FBM will schedule drill testing of the
Miriam project which is scheduled for
July 2025.
