HIGH-GRADE ANTIMONY RESULTS AT ARMIDALE CONFIRM POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR ANTIMONY-GOLD SYSTEM
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Targeted soil sampling program at Oaky Creek South returns a series of high-grade assays with a peak value of 1,200 ppm Antimony, with 13 samples exceeding 100ppm Antimony across the whole program
-
A significant auger soil result of 1.36% Sb, over 10x the next highest recorded value was also recorded at Oaky Creek South workings, the sample returned the highest gold value of 14ppb.
-
A coherent 200m long northeast-striking Sb-As anomaly has been identified which remains open to the northeast (Figure 4)
-
A second grid, 300m north of the Oaky Creek South workings returned strong anomalous arsenic, a path-finder for gold, with a maximum value of 259ppm As, which remains open to the northwest towards the Main Grid, to the southwest, and south towards the historical Antimony workings
-
Red Mountain has now received all assay results from the Oaky Creek South sampling campaign. The highly encouraging soils results, alongside the previously reported high-grade Antimony rock mineralisation of up to 39.3% Sb, has prompted immediate planning for the field team to launch an exploration program in December to define specific drill targets:
-
RMX will expand the grid at Oaky Creek South to cover the area between the historical workings and the Main Grid, testing the NE extension of the exceptionally high anomaly
-
A strong 1km-long Antimony soil anomaly extending SSE from Oaky Creek North will also be tested by auger sampling, prior to expected drilling
-
Soil sampling results received at East Hills will also be further explored as the results define NNW-trending soil Antimony anomalies, with a peak value of 104ppm Sb
-
Both the strike extent and strong spatial correlation between Antimony and Gold at Oaky Creek supports Red Mountain’s exploration model for the prospect of a major vein-style orogenic Antimony-Gold system, which is directly analogous to Larvotto’s (ASX: LRV) Hillgrove Project, east to Red Mountain’s project and subject to a recent takeover attempt from United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE: UAMY)

Red Mountain Mining Limited (ASX: RMX , US OTCQB: RMXFF , or “ the Company ” ), a Critical Minerals exploration and development company with an established and growing portfolio in Tier-1 Mining Districts in the United States and Australia, is pleased to announce exceptional high-grade Antimony results for soil sampling completed in September at the Oaky Creek prospect, and soil sampling completed at East Hills at the Company’s 100% owned Armidale Antimony-Gold Project in the New England Orogen of New South Wales. The recent soil sampling program returned 13 samples exceeding 100ppm Antimony in the assays, with a peak value of 1,200 ppm Antimony.
Soil antimony values surpassing the 100ppm threshold are considered highly anomalous. The results support the interpretation that a significant Antimony-Gold mineralisation may be present. Red Mountain is planning to undertake an immediate follow-up exploration program in December to generate potential drill targets.
Oaky Creek and East Hills are two of several known orogenic gold and antimony mineral occurrences within the Armidale project, which have strong structural, lithological and mineralogical similarities to Larvotto’s (ASX: LRV) Hillgrove deposit to the East, which is Australia’s largest antimony-gold deposit.
Auger results reveal an extensive orogenic Antimony system at Oaky Creek South
Red Mountain’s field team collected a total of approximately 250 auger soil samples 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 (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
The Oaky South Main grid is located approximately 400m north-northwest of the historical pits and shafts at Oaky Creek South. The grid is targeted on a conventional soil sample anomaly with a peak value of 333ppm Sb[1] . 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 that contained 46ppm Sb and 65ppm As[1] . In October, Red Mountain reported[2] , float and in-situ rock chip samples from Oaky Creek South have returned multiple high grade results, with maximum values of 39.3% Sb and 1.09g/t Au from the Oaky South Main grid area (Figure 1 and Figure 2), while samples collected close to the historical workings have best analyses of 28.3% Sb (Figure 1) and 0.14g/t Au (Figure 2).

Sampling at Oaky Creek South targeted the C soil horizon and samples were collected from as deep as possible at each site. Sampling depths ranged from 10cm to 100cm (Appendix 1), with the majority of samples collected at depths between 20 and 60cm.
Figure 3 shows antimony and arsenic results for the Oaky S Main and Oaky S Minor grid auger soil samples.
The auger samples collected from the Oaky S Main grid define a coherent >20ppm Sb northeasttrending anomaly, up to approximately 30m in width and 200m in length, which parallels and overlaps the extent of mapped quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins. The core of the anomaly is defined by nine samples containing >100ppm Sb , with a peak value of 1,201ppm Sb (Figure 3; Appendix 1). The auger soil anomaly shows a close spatial relationship to previously reported highly anomalous rock chip samples. 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 1) 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 antimony soil anomaly is open to the northeast, towards the Namoi Fault splay.
For the Oaky S Main grid, arsenic hand auger soil results closely mimic the pattern of antimony results to the northeast of the interpreted fault, which appears to essentially truncate the arsenic anomaly. The arsenic anomaly is well defined by 27 samples containing >100ppm As, with a maximum value of 1,040ppm (Appendix 1) and like the antimony anomaly is open to the northeast (Figure 3). In contrast to the antimony results, the Oaky S Minor grid is anomalous for arsenic, with six samples containing >100ppm As, with a maximum value of 257ppm (Appendix 1). The samples with anomalous and elevated (>50ppm As) arsenic have no clear structural control and are clustered around the northwest and southern edges of the grid, meaning that the anomaly is open to the northwest towards the Main grid, to the southwest, and south towards the historical workings (Figure 3).

Consistent with the conventional soil results reported in June 2025[3] , gold results for the hand auger sampling at both the Oaky S Main grid and Oaky S Minor grid are subdued, with the majority of samples returning assays of below the detection limit of 1ppb Au and only five samples, all from the Oaky S Main grid, containing more than 3ppb Au, with a peak value of 9ppb Au (Appendix 1). The hand auger soil samples with higher gold contents generally occur within the area defined by the >20ppm Sb anomaly on the Main Grid and are spatially associated with mapped veins and previously reported anomalous rock chip samples (Figure 4), suggesting that the gold is genetically related to the antimony mineralisation and providing further evidence supporting RMX’s exploration model that Oaky Creek represents a significant orogenic antimony-gold mineral system analogous to the Hillgrove Mine to the east, which is Australia’s largest known antimony deposit.

discovery of previously unrecognised orogenic antimony mineralisation at Oaky Creek. Further auger sampling is planned as soon, across the following prospective target areas:
-
Northeast of the Oaky S Main grid, towards the Namoi Fault.
-
Across the unsampled area between the Oaky S Main grid, the Oaky S Minor grid and the Oaky S workings.
-
Along the length of the 1km long soil antimony anomaly that extends south-southeast from Oaky Creek North.
Following receipt of the results of the planned December program, Red Mountain expects to be able to target the Oaky Creek prospect for drill testing.
Results across Oaky South historical workings confirm significance of Oaky S Main results
Sample (AA201), returned a significant auger soil result of 1.36% Sb , over 10x the next highest recorded value. This sample also returned the highest gold value of 14ppb .
To provide a guide as to the expected auger soil response over mineralisation at Oaky Creek, RMX collected a single orientation line of eight samples across the historical antimony workings at Oaky Creek South (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for location). The results of this sampling for antimony, arsenic and gold are summarised in Figure 5 and listed in Appendix 1. Gold and arsenic values are consistent with the anomalous samples collected from the Oaky S Main grid, with maximum values of 14ppb Au and 351ppm .

Encouraging initial soil results at East Hills
In September 2025, RMX collected 78 soil samples across a grid centered around a historical pit targeting antimony at East Hills in the southern portion of the tenement. Samples were collected at a 50m spacing on 100m spaced east-west oriented lines and screened to -80# in the field.
The soil antimony results define a generally NNW-trending strike-parallel anomaly, with a peak value of 104ppm Sb close to the historical workings and the previously reported[4] rock chip sample containing 9.9% Sb (Figure 6). The >5ppm Sb anomaly is open to the SSE, so further sampling in that direction may be warranted in the future.

Figure 6: Individual soil sample results for antimony and contoured soil antimony for sampling at East Hills. Both anomalous (>5ppm Sb) and elevated (>2ppm Sb) values define a NNW-trend, which approximately parallels the strike in the area. Strongly anomalous rock chip samples of >500pmm Sb are also shown. The highest soil antimony value of 104ppm Sb lies close to the anomalous rock chip samples, including the sample containing 9.9% Sb and the small historical pit at East Hills.
Gold in soil results from East Hills are mostly <5ppb Au, with the exception of two samples that returned values of 14ppb Au and 304ppb Au (Appendix 2; Figure 7). These two samples appear to be spatially associated with the main NNW-trending antimony anomaly, suggesting that the mineralisation at East Hills is a similar orogenic antimony-gold system to that seen at Oaky Creek. However, based on results to date the system as East Hills is a lower priority for further exploration than the Oaky Creek prospect, which appears to be a larger target.

Next steps for the Armidale Antimony-Gold Project
With highly encouraging auger soil results now received from Oaky Creek South, RMX will seek to rapidly deploy to undertake a follow-up program of auger soil and rock chip sampling over the Oaky Creek North soil anomaly to define prospective drill targets. RMX will also extend the Oaky S Main grid to the northeast to test for the extension of the currently open anomaly and sample the area between the Main Grid and the historical workings at Oaky Creek South. The Company expects that

==> picture [140 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
the results of this next round of sampling at Oaky Creek will enable Red Mountain to define the most promising targets for drilling in the first half of 2026.
As previously reported[5] , soil and rock chip sampling is also planned for the Horsley Station and Horsley North gold targets (Figure 8). RMX is planning further exploration across the numerous stibnite and jarosite spectral anomalies across the project, in particular those that lie adjacent to known mineralisation and/or are along the known major Peel, Namoi and Cobbadah faults.

• The north-south elongate corridor covered by the project contains no historical mineral exploration drilling and has seen limited previous surface exploration for Antimony and Gold mineralisation. No soil sampling for these elements has been undertaken and rockchip and stream sediment coverage is limited, leaving the majority of the tenement untested by systematic exploration and therefore is considered having significant potential for discovery. • Icon Resources Ltd conducted exploration over there Dunmore target, Baldwin project EL6682 in 2008, data taken from the open file reports at NSW Resources. |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The project is located in the Southern New England Orogen. The geology of the tenement is dominated by isoclinally folded Carboniferous metasediments of the Tamworth Belt which is a forearc basin package related to west-dipping subduction of oceanic crust beneath the Lachlan Orogen. Ultramafic melanges of the Great Serpentinite Belt, which outcrop 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 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. |
• No aggregated methods are reported |
| 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 diagram is presented in the text. The diagram is 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 bepracticed to avoid misleading |
• 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 deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• 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 forward work programme aim to test the stibnite vein system and extensions through further augering to generate targets for drilling to determine the 3D extent (depth, layering and lateral extent) of the stibnite mineralisation. • The use of supplementary geophysics is being considered with CSAM techniques being investigated. • Also, RMX is considering undertaking a metallurgical bench testing towards making a commercial concentrate at a >80% recovery of Sb. • Diagrams of the sampling positions have beenprovided in the text. |
