Oaky Creek is one of the Company’s highest priority prospects within the Armidale Antimony-Gold Project and is one of several known orogenic gold and antimony mineral occurrences within the tenement (Figure 7) that have strong structural, lithological and mineralogical similarities to Larvotto’s ( ASX: LRV; Market Cap $630M ) Hillgrove deposit to the East, which is Australia’s largest antimonygold deposit. Red Mountain’s project features multiple prospects and covers nearly 400km[2 ] of highly prospective ground in the New England Oregon, Australia’s premier Antimony District.
Soil and rock chip sampling at Oaky Creek defines a 3km long orogenic Sb-Au system
The Oaky Creek prospect has been targeted by two groups of shallow historical pits and shafts at Oaky Creek North and Oaky Creek South, which are thought to date from the late 19th Century, with limited exploration since.
Since acquiring the project in December 2024, RMX has completed two field campaigns at the Oaky Creek prospect. The Company’s initial sampling program at Oaky Creek comprised a 50 x 100m spaced grid soil sampling program centred on a major splay of the Namoi Fault, accompanied by rock chip sampling. As initially reported in June 2025[1] , the soil sampling defines a coherent, ~1.5km long, 100200m wide, NNW-trending >2ppm Sb in soil anomaly extending both north and south of the historical workings at Oaky Creek North and a similarly-oriented ~1km long >2ppm Sb in soil anomaly extending north from the Oaky Creek South workings (Figure 2), indicating a significant orogenic antimony-gold mineral system with a strike extent of 3km.
Initial rock chip sampling, reported in June[2] and July 2025[3] , returned values of up to 28.3% Sb and 0.54 g/t Au, with mineralised and anomalous rock chip samples showing a strong spatial correlation to the antimony soil anomaly (Figure 2), and high grade (>25% Sb) mineralisation found to be outcropping in a creek exposure 500m NNW of the historical workings at Oaky Creek North.
A second sampling program was undertaken in August and September 2025, with the collection of additional rock chip samples at Oaky Creek South and Oaky Creek North, returning even stronger results of up to 39.3% Sb[8] and 1.09g/t Au[4] and confirming the presence of a high-grade antimony mineralisation with associated gold ~500m northwest of the Oaky Creek South workings.

Initial sampling at Oaky Creek South highlights significant potential
In late August and early September, RMX’s field team collected a total of approximately 250 soil samples spaced at 10m and 20m across two grids at Oaky Creek South: “Oaky S Main” (193 sample sites) and “Oaky S Minor” (45 sample sites); as well as a single line of eight samples collected across the Oaky Creek South workings.
The Oaky S Main grid is located approximately 400m north-northwest of the historical pits and shafts at Oaky Creek South. The grid was targeted on a conventional soil sample anomaly with a peak value of 333ppm Sb[5] (Figure 3), which is associated with multiple mineralised float and in-situ

rock chip samples, with maximum values of 39.3% Sb and 1.09g/t Au[6] . The Oaky S Minor grid is centred ~200m southeast of the Oaky S Main Grid, targeting a soil sample located 300m north of the Oaky Creek South workings with a peak value of 46ppm Sb and 65ppm As[5] (Figure 4).

As reported in November[7] , the auger samples collected from the Oaky S Main grid define a coherent northeast-trending Sb-As anomaly, up to approximately 30m in width and 200m in length, which parallels and overlaps the extent of mapped quartz±carbonate±sulfide veins, suggesting that the auger soil sampling is able to directly map near-surface mineralisation. The core of the anomaly is defined by nine samples containing >100ppm Sb, with a peak value of 1,201ppm Sb; and 27 samples containing >100ppm As, with a maximum value of 1,040ppm As (Figure 5). The anomaly and vein sets appear to be offset along an approximately NW-striking fault, which may represent a smaller splay structure off the NNW-striking major Namoi Fault splay that lies approximately 400m east of the grid (refer to Figure 4) and is thought to be the primary controlling structure and fluid conduit for the Oaky Creek antimony-gold system. The Oaky S Main grid hand auger antimonyarsenic soil anomaly is open to the northeast, towards the Namoi Fault splay.
The Oaky S Minor grid is strongly anomalous for arsenic, with six samples containing >100ppm As, with a maximum value of 257ppm[7] . The samples define an anomaly, open to the southwest, that parallels the Sb-As anomaly in the main grid, and may represent the fringes of a similar antimonyrich vein system (Figure 5).
The strong positive results of the initial auger sampling at Oaky Creek South demonstrates both the effectiveness of this method to directly map near-surface mineralisation and validity of the initial conventional soil sampling as a targeting tool. It is anticipated that the results of this sampling will allow the Company to identify priority targets for drill testing during the first half of 2026.
Sampling underway at Oaky Creek North – Antimony mineralisation sampled
The 1.2km long, NNW-striking coherent Oaky Creek North mineralisation was identified as the priority target from Red Mountain’s initial soil sampling program at Oaky Creek and auger sampling commenced at the southern end of the anomaly earlier this week (Figure 5). Approximately 400 samples will be collected along the full extent of the anomaly (Figure 6) at a spacing of 20m on eastwest oriented lines located 40m apart. (Figure 6).

As noted above, multiple exceptional antimony mineralised samples have been collected by the field team during the first two days of sampling at Oaky Creek North (refer to Table 1). The newly collected stibnite-bearing samples occur in an area where mineralised material has not previously been observed (Figure 6). They correspond well to peak of the soil antimony anomaly and define a similar north-northwest strike.

Next steps for the Armidale Antimony-Gold Project
Red Mountain anticipates that the hand auger soil sampling program across Oaky Creek North and Oaky Creek South will be completed during December, with all results expected to be received before the end of the March Quarter of 2026. Based on the results from the previous auger sampling at Oaky Creek South, the Company anticipates that the auger sampling will define multiple orogenic antimonygold targets for drill testing at Oaky Creek during the first half of 2026.
The Company is prioritising the advancement of the Oaky Creek prospect, while concurrently commissioning a high resolution airborne magnetic-radiometric survey over the tenement to improve data resolution and better map the structural architecture, to define additional orogenic antimony and/or gold targets. The Company expects to acquire data during the first quarter of 2026.
Red Mountain expects that the improved resolution magnetic and radiometric data will allow Red Mountain to better target planned initial soil sampling at the Horsley Station and Horsley North gold targets and possible follow up work at the East Hils antimony-gold prospect, which has returned initial rock chip results[8] of up to 9.9% Sb and soil results[9] of up to 109ppm Sb and 304ppm Sb. The locations of these targets are shown on Figure 1.
The improved data will also allow the company to critically evaluate and rank stibnite and jarosite satellite multispectral anomalies across the project that were reported in August[10] to identify additional areas for priority ground follow up.
RMX Armidale Antimony-Gold Project Background
Red Mountain’s 100%-owned Armidale antimony-gold project (EL9372) lies west of Australia’s largest known antimony deposit, Larvotto’s (ASX: LRV) Hillgrove deposit, which is also the 8[th] largest antimony deposit globally.
The New England Orogen is recognised as Australia’s premier Antimony province (Figure 7). Antimony occurs in hydrothermal quartz veins, breccias and stockworks, often with associated gold and/or tungsten mineralisation.

The Armidale Antimony-Gold Project extends for 85km along the western side of the Peel Fault. The geology of the project area is dominated by isoclinally folded Carboniferous metasediments of the Tamworth Belt, which is a forearc basinal package related to west-dipping subduction of oceanic crust beneath the Lachlan Orogen. Ultramafic mélanges of the Great Serpentinite Belt, which outcrop along the Peel Fault, are considered to be remnants of this oceanic crust. The Peel Fault System has recognised world-class mineral potential, with over 400 known orogenic gold and base metal mineral occurrences along its over 400km strike extent, but is underexplored, with less than 200 mostly shallow drillholes over its length, the majority of which are focused on discrete prospects.

| along the Peel Fault, are considered to be remnants of this oceanic crust. • The style of mineralisation target is hydrothermal quartz veins, breccia and stockworks derived from fluids during regional compression and resulting faulting providing the conduits to the fluids. |

| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drillhole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interceptiondepth o 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 whythis is the case. |
• No drilling conducted |
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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 |
• No aggregated methods are reported |

| 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. |
||
| 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• No relationship is made between mineralisation width and intercept lengths |
| 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. |
• Appropriate location diagrams are presented in the text. These diagrams are indicative only as no assumptions of grade, extent or depth are made. |
| 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 reportingof Exploration Results. |
• Only pertinent results are given as due to the relevance of the announcement. |
| 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;potential |
• There is no other substantive exploration data provided or withheld as this announcement deals with this early phase exploration target. |

| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. 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. |
• The auger programme is on-going and includes rock chip sampling and mapping. The forward work programme depends on the sample assay results from the laboratory. If encouraging, then a drilling programme will be implements to determine the depth and lateral extent of the stibnite mineralisation. • Diagrams of the sampling positions have beenprovided in the text. |
