REGIONAL AIRCORE DRILLING COMMENCED AT COOLGARDIE GOLD PROJECT

Ore Resources Ltd (ASX: OR3) (Ore or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the expansive gold-focused Phase 4 drilling programme in progress at its Coolgardie Gold Projects, located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Large 15,000m regional Aircore (AC) drilling programme underway, focused on enhancing new gold discovery potential across Ore’s broader landholdings at the Coolgardie Gold Projects.
  • Initial focus of this AC drilling is the Burbanks East Gold Project (Burbanks East), targeting the 2.7km anomalous gold trend¹ which sits along strike from MacPhersons Reward Gold Mine (132koz @ 1.2 g/t Au)², along with other intrusion-related targets identified in available magnetic geophysical data.
  • Key historical drilling results at Burbanks East include:³
  • 8m @ 3.37 g/t Au from 32m (KSC3339)
  • 6m @ 1.84 g/t Au from 44m (KSC3336)
  • 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)
  • The programme will then shift to drill testing high-priority regional prospects at the Miriam Gold Project (Miriam), including Jungle, Forrest North, Burbanks Monarch and Goroke.
  • Key historical drilling results from these undertested regional prospects include:⁴
  • 4m @ 3.77 g/t Au from 94m (FGC001) and 8m @ 1.21 g/t Au from 25m (DPR039) (Jungle)
  • 15m @ 0.92 g/t Au from 35m (FGA021) (Forrest North)
  • 12m @ 1.04 g/t Au from 15m (FGA059) and 5m @ 2.3 g/t Au from surface (MID014) (Goroke)
  • 10m @ 0.90 g/t Au from 30m (FGA050) and 5m @ 1.94 g/t Au from 25m (FGA073) (Burbanks Monarch)
  • This drilling at Miriam will also include systematic follow-up drill testing along the broader 1.7km-long anomaly defining the Canyon prospect (Canyon).⁵
  • RC drilling at Canyon previously confirmed a fertile gold system with gold intersected within regolith and fresh rock lithologies.

  • Significant Phase 1 and Phase 2 RC drilling results from Canyon include:5,6
  • 18m @ 0.92 g/t Au from 28m (CYRC001), including 3m @ 3.28 g/t Au from 43m
  • 12m @ 0.95 g/t Au from 52m (CYRC019), including 4m @ 1.92 g/t Au from 52m
  • 4m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 120m (CYRC012)
  • 8m @ 0.72 g/t Au from 33m (CYRC007), including 3m @ 1.75 g/t Au from 33m

  • Assay results from this AC programme are expected to be received progressively from late-May 2026.

  • Ore is well funded and strongly positioned to advance all planned exploration at its Coolgardie and Kal East Gold Projects over 2026, with A$10.7 million cash and zero debt (as at 31 December 2025).

Ore Resources' Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:

"The commencement of our 15,000m AC drilling programme represents an important strategic milestone for the Company as we continue to advance our expansive Phase 4 drilling programme at the Coolgardie Gold Projects. With Forrest continuing to evidence growing scale potential along strike and at depth, we are now deliberately expanding our exploration focus to a district-wide assessment of gold opportunities across our broader Coolgardie project landholdings.

"Initial AC drilling will focus on Burbanks East, where first-pass drilling will test 5 large-scale, structurally controlled gold targets previously defined through a detailed litho-structural interpretation. Several of these targets coincide with robust gold-in-soil anomalies, including a 2.7km anomaly that has not previously been drill tested. Burbanks East represents a compelling exploration opportunity, situated in a geological setting comparable to Miriam and remaining largely untested by modern exploration techniques.

"The programme will then advance to the testing of high priority regional prospects at Miriam, including Jungle, Forrest North, Burbanks Monarch and Goroke. Drilling across these largely untested prospects will focus on a 3.2km gold-anomalous corridor defined by recent geochemical sampling, with multiple discrete soil anomalies exceeding 20ppb Au7. Several of these are directly associated with the 6.2km Miriam Shear, reinforcing the prospectivity of the trend and its potential to host significant gold mineralisation.

"Notably, this AC drilling at Miriam includes systematic follow-up testing of the Canyon prospect, where RC drilling previously confirmed a fertile gold mineralised system. Mineralisation at Canyon displays a clear north-south orientation consistent with, and running parallel to, the Miriam Shear. Substantial exploration upside remains waiting to be unlocked, with previous drilling having tested only approximately 200m of the total 1.7km strike length.

"Assay results from this programme are set to be received progressively from late-May 2026. These results are expected to guide targeted follow-up RC, diamond and additional AC drilling programmes through H2 2026 and beyond. With drilling across multiple high-priority targets at Burbanks East and Miriam, we see this programme as a significant opportunity to unlock new high-grade gold discoveries, open additional pathways for resource growth, and further enhance the long-term value of our exploration portfolio in the W.A. Goldfields."

About Ore Resources Ltd (ASX:OR3)

THE BUSINESS: Gold and lithium exploration and development

Ore Resources (ASX: OR3) is an exploration and development company focused on rapidly advancing its 100% owned Coolgardie and Kal East Gold and Lithium Projects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

THE LOCATION: Infrastructure-rich project setting

The Eastern W.A. Goldfields is an outstanding location in which to explore for, build, and operate gold and lithium mines. It is a long-established mining province with all the accompanying benefits, including all-year land access, skilled labour, mining services and infrastructure.

The Projects are positioned within 50km of the mining hub of Kalgoorlie (via sealed and access roads), approximately 370km to the port of Esperance and approximately 550km to Perth via road and rail. We are proximal to multiple gold and lithium mining and processing operations and development projects of substantial scale.

This available range of potential commercialisation options, including standalone development, positions us well to monetise current and future success.
