- Targeting declaration of a maiden JORC-reportable Copper Mineral Resource for Mumbezhi (Nyungu deposits) during Q4 2024.
- Field activities commenced with site access and associated infrastructure being established.
- First-phase RC and diamond drilling expected to commence in the next few weeks.
- Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) studies have commenced.
Prospect's Managing Director and CEO, Sam Hosack, commented:
"Wide, strongly mineralised copper intercepts are a hallmark of the Nyungu deposits and these newly released results again confirm the outstanding prospectivity of this land package. The further we progress in our initial post-purchase evaluation of Mumbezhi, the more evident are key facets of a potential high value, long-life, open-pittable copper-cobalt mining and processing operation, with regionally favourable metallurgy and a significant exploration upside.
"Prior to completion, the Mumbezhi Licence was transferred to our new Zambian subsidiary Osprey Resources Ltd (85% Prospect), and we are now proceeding to unlock Mumbezhi's potential, and with the strong backdrop provided by the global copper market, Prospect is well positioned and capitalised to rapidly advance Mumbezhi. We are eagerly anticipating commencement of our first drill programme there in the next few weeks."

Mumbezhi Project
Prospect Resources Limited (ASX:PSC) (Prospect or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has now compiled and commenced assessing all the technical and hard data (drill core, RC chips, sample pulps) it recently purchased from Orpheus Uranium Limited (Orpheus) (refer PSC ASX release dated 7 May 2024), as part of its acquisition of an 85% interest in the highly prospective Mumbezhi Copper Project (Mumbezhi or the Project), located in north-western Zambia (see Figure 1) (refer PSC ASX release dated 9 April 2024).

Figure 1. Location Map for Mumbezhi Copper Project in Zambia
Mumbezhi is situated in the world-class Central African Copperbelt region of north-western Zambia and located on a single Large Scale Exploration Licence (30426-HQ-LEL) (Licence), covering an area of approximately 356 square kilometres. The area is prospective for large tonnage, low to medium grade copper deposits. Several major mines lie proximate to Mumbezhi and are hosted in similar geological settings (see Figure 2).

Review of data and newly reported drilling intersections
The data set purchased from Orpheus included previously unreported drill intersections and unassayed pulped samples from 13 deep infill diamond holes completed at Nyungu Central, and seven RC drill holes conducted at Nyungu East, during 2021.
Nyungu Central results
The drill intersections from the diamond holes (NYDD052-064) were particularly impressive with the following significant intervals now being reported for the first time:
- 38.0m @ 0.87% Cu from 101.0m and 32.0m @ 0.68% Cu from 159.0m (NYDD058)
- 32.0m @ 0.87% Cu from 353.0m and 28.1m @ 0.79% Cu from 103.0m (NYDD062)
- 20.0m @ 1.08% Cu from 27.0m (NYDD054)
- 17.0m @ 1.03% Cu from 29.0m (NYDD055)
- 24.0m @ 0.72% Cu from 104.0m (NYDD061)
- 11.0m @ 1.37% Cu from 134.0m incl. 8.0m @ 1.58% Cu from 135.0m (NYDD056)

• 17.0m @ 0.79% Cu from 182.0m incl. 4.0m @ 1.03% Cu from 195.0m (NYDD057)
In addition, Prospect has now been able to interrogate and validate the entire data set purchased from Orpheus for historical drilling completed before 2022, and other drill data information collated for Mumbezhi that pre-dates Orpheus' exploration activities at the Project.
Prospect has been able to verify actual locations and assays for 62 drill holes completed at the Nyungu Central and Nyungu South deposits located in the southwest corner of the Mumbezhi licence. Some of the better copper intersections returned from Nyungu Central (previously reported, and now validated by Prospect) during these historical programmes include:
- 148.0m @ 0.35% Cu from 16.0m (MBD01RC002)
- 30.0m @ 1.62% Cu from 174.0m incl. 6.0m @ 5.50% Cu from 174.0m (NYU11RD021)
- 76.1m @ 0.60% Cu from 216.9m incl. 35.1m @ 0.77% Cu from 216.9m (NYRD031)
- 44.5m @ 0.96% Cu from 177.0m (NYRD046)
- 31.0m @ 1.06% Cu from 166.0m (NYU11RD010)
- 48.0m @ 0.63% Cu from 36.0m (MBD00RC009)
- 61.0m @ 0.42% Cu from 184.0m (NYU11RD001)
- 21.2m @ 1.03% Cu from 63.6m and 18.0m @ 0.85% Cu from 258.3m (NYRD045)
- 34.0m @ 0.67% Cu from 64.0m (NYU11RD022)
- 17.0m @ 0.68% Cu from 50.0m (NYU11RD023)
Nyungu East results
The assay results returned from Orpheus' seven RC holes, which tested a coherent geochemical copper anomaly at Nyungu East in late 2021, did not return any significant sub-surface intersections from the 4 metre composite samples taken there. The copper soil anomaly over Nyungu East is now inferred to be a surface feature related to an accumulation of anomalous copper in soils downslope from the main Nyungu Central deposit (about 900m to the west) in an area bounded by a dry pan (intermittent lake) directly to the east.
Figure 3 below shows the location of all drill holes recorded that cover the area from Nyungu Central to Nyungu South, including Nyungu East.
Appendix 1 outlines the drill collar locations for the Nyungu holes and Appendix 2 shows the significant copper drilling intersections returned to date, and includes drilling intersections recording over 0.1% cobalt (Co%) having downhole widths of 2 metres or more.

Figure 4 below shows all the significant copper drilling intersections for the Nyungu Central deposit, including all the data recently purchased from Orpheus Uranium Limited (refer PSC ASX release dated 7 May 2024). Thicker and higher-grade intersections are denoted in orange text.
The validated drilling data sets have now been captured into a dedicated spatial database, which forms the basis for ongoing 3D modelling of the Nyungu deposits and ultimately the estimation of a maiden JORC-reportable copper mineral resource for Mumbezhi.

Upcoming Activities and Development Pathway
With the consolidation of all the historical and more recent drilling information into a single drill hole database, Prospect has now commenced the 3D interpretation of geological and assay data to support the estimation of a maiden, JORC-reportable copper mineral resource for the Mumbezhi Project.
This will initially be focused on the Nyungu series of NNE-trending copper deposits in the southwest corner of the exploration licence (see Figure 3 above). The mineral resource will be reported in Q4 2024.
In parallel, the Company will shortly commence its first RC and diamond drilling programmes at the Project, initially focused on infill and extensional works at Nyungu Central, to inform the mineral resource estimation of that key deposit.

This drilling work will later be extended to Nyungu South and then to more exploratory drilling programmes on regional prospect areas later in the year. Most of those regional areas were only targeted on a cursory basis historically and require more detailed investigation to uncover their copper prospectivity and potential.
The drilling contract has been awarded to Leos Investments Limited, a well-respected Zambian company, based in Kitwe, whose Director, Mr John Valasquez, has significant experience operating in the Copperbelt and beyond, and retains a substantial fleet of drilling rigs and equipment to service Prospect's needs at Mumbezhi.
The upcoming drill campaign will also include an aligned programme of diamond coring to supply physical materials for comprehensive metallurgical studies targeting comminution test work, and flotation test, based on the expected feed ratios for the fresh and transition ores and leaching test work, as well as initial variability testing to support future economic evaluation of Mumbezhi Project.
This work will also directly inform a proposed Scoping Study for Mumbezhi which is due for publication in early 2025.
Earlier metallurgical studies carried out by the previous owners (ORP) produced encouraging results based on flotation work on both the fresh and transition ores, providing a solid footing for future studies to be undertaken by Prospect.
It is expected that the maiden mineral resource estimation work underway will provide suitable domaining of oxide, transition and fresh material splits to further support the metallurgical test work studies.
On the ground in Zambia, Prospect staff have now mobilised to site who have begun setting up camp facilities and logistical support for the upcoming drilling activities and field-based Environmental and Social Impact Activity (ESIA) studies.
The latter work has been awarded to an experienced and well-credentialled local Zambian company, MVC Consulting Engineers Ltd, who have considerable exposure to similar copper project studies and investigations in the country.
The ESIA activities will directly support the Company's proposed later application for mining leases at Mumbezhi, and foster and integrate local community involvement into the Project, in line with Prospect's stated Corporate Social Investment plan and initiatives.
Prospect staff were recently invited to visit the local Chiefs, whose Chiefdoms cover the area overlain by Prospect's exploration licence in the Northwestern Province of Zambia. Representatives from Prospect and GDC were warmly received and this sets the platform for more detailed community interaction once site-based activities commence later this month.
Prospect looks forward to keeping its shareholders fully informed of our activities in Zambia.

About Prospect Resources Limited (ASX: PSC, FRA:5E8)
Prospect Resources Limited (ASX: PSC, FRA:5E8) is an ASX listed company focused on the exploration and development of mining projects, specifically battery and electrification metals, in Zimbabwe and Zambia and the broader sub-Saharan African region.
About Copper
Copper is a red-orange coloured metallic element in its pure form and is highly conductive to heat and electricity and is physically soft and malleable. Copper has been used for various purposes dating back at least 10,000 years. Today, it is mostly used by the electrical industry to make wires, cables, and other electronic components and is the key component. The metal is widely seen as a green-energy transition material, in part because of the wiring needed for electric cars. EVs can use as much as 80kg of copper, four times the amount typically used in combustion engine vehicles. It is also used as a building material or can be melted with other metals to make coins and jewellery.

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Samplingtechniques | •Nature and quality of sampling (egcut channels, random chips, orspecific specialised industrystandard measurement toolsappropriate to the minerals underinvestigation, such as down holegamma sondes, or handheld XRFinstruments, etc). These examplesshould not be taken as limiting thebroad meaning of sampling.•Include reference to measures takento ensure sample representivity andthe appropriate calibration of anymeasurement tools or systems used.•Aspects of the determination ofmineralisation that are Material tothe Public Report.•In cases where 'industry standard'work has been done this would berelatively simple (eg 'reversecirculation drilling was used to obtain1 m samples from which 3 kg waspulverised to produce a 30 g chargefor fire assay'). In other cases moreexplanationmay be required, suchas where there is coarse gold thathas inherent sampling problems.Unusual commodities ormineralisation types (eg submarinenodules) may warrant disclosure ofdetailed information. | •AttheMumbezhi(formerlyLumwana West) Project, there havebeen a number of campaigns ofdrilling, starting with RST in the1970s, Phelps Dodge in the 1990s,Zamanglo in 2000 –2002, and thenArgonautResources NLfrom 2011 –2021. The work completed between2014 –2016 was undertakenin JVwith Antofagasta. Most drilling workover the years has concentrated onthe Nyungu Central deposit, but 20holesweredrilledonotherprospects,in other parts of theMumbezhilicence;notablyKabikupa,MwombezhiWest,Kamafamba,SharambaandLuamvunda.The Kavipopo andLMW deposit formerly drilled byArgonaut, now lie outside the currentlicenceboundary.•For theArgonaut(now OrpheusUraniumLtd)drillingoftheMumbezhideposits,RCchipsampleswerecollectedinplasticbagsonaonemetrebasis,weighed, checked for moisture andsplit using a multi-layeredrifflewithareferencesamplestoredandasamplesetasidefor dispatch tocertified laboratory.•HandheldXRF measurements weretakenonRCsampleswithcompositesamplingconductedonnon-mineralisedmaterial(cut-offgrade<0.1%Cu)andsinglemetresamplingofmineralisedmaterial(cut-off grade >0.1% Cu).

determined by geological contacts within mineralised units.
- Quarter drill core sampled outside observed mineralisation and intervals of two metres or less determined by geological contacts within non-mineralised units.
- Drill core cut at a consistent distance relative to solid orientation line or dashed mark up line.
- RC and core samples dispatched in batches to SGS Kalulushi (2011) and Intertek Genalysis (2012) on single metre or composited basis.
- Sample preparation involved sorting, drying, crushing and pulverising to produce a pulp. These sample pulps were air freighted to SGS Townsville (2011) or Intertek Genalysis Johannesburg and Perth (2012).
- Analysis conducted was standard 4 acid digestion for 40 to 46 elements by ICP-OES and ICP-MS analysis (SGS – ICP40Q, Genalysis – 4A/OM10) and a 25 or 30g charge for fire assay (SGS – FAA303, Genalysis – FA25/AA).
- For the 2014 diamond drilling at Nyungu, samples were dried, crushed to 85% (-5mm), spilt up to 1.2kg, pulverised to 85% (-75µm) and pulps taken for four acid digest followed by ICP-OES (multielement), ICP-MS (U) or Aqua Regia/AAS (Au) finish.
- 13 holes with a total of 1642.74 metres were drilled in 2021. BluRock drilling conducted the drilling exercises using Drill Rig 2_CS14. Drill core size was PQ. 10 of the 13 holes were assayed in 2021. The assays for the remaining 3 holes were carried out by Intertek Genalysis - Perth (2024) on the stored pulps.
- There are no detailed sampling records for the RC holes (pre-fixed MBD*RC*) conducted by ZamAnglo

between 2000-02.
- Additionally, 650.5m of diamond drilling (2 holes NYU1 & 2) was conducted by Phelps Dodge in 1994.
- Two holes' MM295 & 296 were drilled in the 1970s by RST (Roan Selection Trust) for 854.8m.
- RC sampling assumed to be 4m composites.
- ZamAnglo diamond core sampling intervals assumed to be geological boundaries.
- No laboratory records exist or could be located for ZamAnglo. RST or Phelps Dodge drilling.
- The Kamafamba Prospect 2015 drilling was conducted by BluRock Drilling. 3 Diamond Drill holes (prefixed KMDD) totaling 409.27 metres were drilled. Half drill core and quarter drill core were sampled based on mineralization.
- For the Luamvunda deposit, 1 drillhole (LVDD001) totaling 123 metres was drilled. This 2015 drilling was conducted by BluRock Drilling. No sampling was conducted for this project, as no significant mineralisation was intersected.
- For the Sharamba deposit, 2 drill holes (prefixed SHDD) with a total of 302 metres were drilled. This 2015 Project was conducted by BluRock Drilling. Half drill core was sampled based on observed mineralisation and intervals of one metre or less determined by geological contacts within mineralised units.
- For the Kabikupa deposit, 8 diamond drill holes (pre-fixed KBDD) with a total of 1,873m metres were drilled. This 2015 programme was conducted by BluRock Drilling. Half drill core was sampled based on observed mineralisation and intervals of one metre or less determined by geological contacts within mineralised units.
- Quarter drill core sampled outside

observed mineralisation and intervals of two metres or less.
• For the West Mwombezhi deposit, 6 DD holes with a total of 1478.84 metres were drilled by BluRock Drillers in 2014. Quarter drill core and half drill core were sampled based on mineralization. Sample preparation was done by Genalysis.
