ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 9 February 2026

Initial Assays Confirm Wide Zones of Shallow Gold Mineralisation at Grace Gold-Copper Project

HIGHLIGHTS

• Assay results for five (out of 18) drill-holes from Phase I of the comprehensive 8,500m* RC drilling campaign at the Grace Gold-Copper Project confirmed shallow zones of wide gold mineralisation within a 1.3km strike length, with the best intercepts including:

• 20m @ 2.25g/t Au from 68m including 8m @ 5.67g/t Au from 75m (25GRC001)

• 14m @ 1.15g/t Au from 67m including 4m @ 3.24g/t Au from 74m (25GRC002)

• 14m @ 1.60g/t Au from 54m including 5m @ 3.27g/t Au from 55m (25GRC003)

• 26m @ 2.19g/t Au from 72m including 13m @ 4.88g/t Au from 86m (25GRC004)

• 13m @ 1.24g/t Au from 20m (25GRC005)

• All five holes retuned intersected significant gold mineralisation.

• Two more batches of assays for the remaining 13 drill-holes are outstanding, and are expected to be received in the coming weeks and potentially provide greater insights into the underlying gold system

• Phase II of the drilling campaign, comprising 32 drill-holes for approximately 6,000m, is slated to commence in late March/early April

• The geology team are optimistic that once full insights from Phase I & II of the drilling campaign are interpreted, there is potential to upgrade the current Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) – 1.59mt @ 1.35g/t Au for 69,000oz**

+++

Paterson’s Executive Director, Mr Matt Bull said : “The Board is delighted with the initial assay results, especially confirmation there are shallow zones of wide gold mineralisation at the Grace Gold-Copper Project. As a result, the Board is optimistic the remaining assay results for Phase I will demonstrate there is a significant underlying gold system. Further, with gold currently in the midst of an upcycle, the Board is laser focused on progressing Phase II of the drilling campaign, then upgrading the current MRE and concurrently determine the optimal path to production. All these are potentially key catalysts that can optimise value creation for shareholders.”

Initial Assay Results – Phase I

Paterson Resources Limited (“ Paterson ” or “ Company ”) ( ASX: PSL ) is pleased to advise that five assay results from Phase I of the comprehensive 8,500m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign demonstrated shallow zones of wide gold mineralisation along a 1.3km strike event (Figure 1 & Appendix 1).

The assays from five drillholes confirm wide zones of mineralisation within a 1.3km zone of the planned pit shell and consistent with results from previous campaigns conducted across 2022-23.

==> picture [452 x 293] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Five assay results from Phase I drilling campaign at Grace Gold-Copper Project

The assay results for the remaining 13 drillholes are still being processed at the laboratory but are expected to be released in two batches in the coming weeks. The pending assay results are from drillholes within the centre of the proposed pit shell which should provide greater clarity and insights into the underlying gold system at the Grace Gold-Copper Project.

Phase II onwards

Once ground conditions allow, Phase II of the drilling campaign will commence, with a minimum 35 drillholes for 6,000m planned. The objective remains testing extensions of known mineralisation and potentially upgrading Inferred MRE ( 1.59mt @ 1.35g/t Au for 69,000oz** ).

Paterson Resources Limited ACN: 115 593 005 Unit 1, 1 Centro Avenue, SUBIACO WA 6008

Overall, the Board believes the Grace Gold-Copper Project is in a highly mineral-rich province and has enormous potential for a simple, shallow, oxide processing circuit. Once the drilling campaign is fully completed, the Board expects to commission a Scoping Study to fully assess the Grace Gold-Copper Project’s full potential which will include assessing the optimal path to production.

Grace Gold-Copper Project, Paterson Province

The Grace Gold-Copper Project is in the heart of the highly prospective Paterson Province, where numerous large groups including Rio Tinto, Antipa Minerals and Greatland Gold are actively exploring the region. Significant discoveries proximal to Paterson’s Grace Gold Project include the Havieron 8.5million-ounce gold-copper resource being developed by Greatland Gold, Cyprium Metal’s Maroochydore copper prospect to the south and Greatland’s world-class 30-plus million-ounce Telfer gold-copper mine, located 25km to the north-west.

The previous drilling campaigns in 2022-23 (Figure 2) resulted in the discovery of a thick high-grade gold shoot and produced significant intercepts, previously reported, including:

• 15m @ 4.03g/t Au from 77m including 6m @ 9.3g/t Au from 79m (PRC0024)

• 31m @ 3.13g/t Au from 145m including 7m @ 11.0g/t Au from 148m (PRC0024)

• 19m @ 1.23g/t Au from 104m including 2m @ 5.9g/ t Au from 106m (PRC0025)

• 41m @ 2.56g/t Au from 143m including 4m @ 9.2g /t Au from 143m and 3m @ 8.7g/t Au from 176m (PRC0025)

• 35m @ 2.34 g/t Au from 91m including 17m @ 4.57 g/t Au from 98m which includes 1m @ 46.2 g/t Au from 105m and 19m @ 2.44 g/t Au from 145m including 2m @ 10.23 g/t Au from 149m (23PRC013***)
