EXCEPTIONAL ASSAYS DEFINE MULTIPLE ANTIMONY DRILL TARGETS ACROSS EXTENSIVE ZONE AT ARMIDALE PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Red Mountain’s comprehensive and systematic work has allowed the Company to define five high priority orogenic Antimony targets for drill testing at Oaky Creek next quarter
-
A significant large-scale orogenic antimony-gold vein system with a strike extent of ~3km at surface has now been delineated by these extensive results with drilling to commence
-
The new auger soil results include additional sampling close to the historical workings at Oaky Creek South, with multiple samples returning values of over 500ppm Sb, including exceptionally high soil values of up to 1.16% Sb and 612ppm As
-
On the Oaky Creek South Main grid, infill and extensional auger sampling of the previously reported coherent, NE-trending ~30m wide Antimony-Arsenic auger soil anomaly returned further strong results of up to 356ppm Sb and 413ppm As, with the anomaly now extending 300m in strike extent and remaining open to the northeast
-
Auger soil results at Oaky Creek North and further to the north highlight strong AntimonyArsenic anomalies around mapped quartz-carbonate stibnite veins, returning values of up to 3,011ppm Sb and 859ppm As
-
Preparations are currently being finalised for drilling to commence at Oaky Creek
-
Met-test results for the Oaky Creek Antimony Prospect are expected to be received in April
-
Further assay result is expected in April for the Thompson Falls Antimony Project in the United States, following recently announced initial high-grade Antimony results
-
Antimony prices remain well supported by the classification as a critical defence mineral with direct applications in ammunition, weapons systems, alloys and flame-retardant materials, underpinning strong long-term demand and increasing efforts by Western nations to secure reliable and independent supply chains
Red Mountain Mining Limited (ASX: RMX , US OTCQB: RMXFF , or “ the Company ” ), a Critical Minerals exploration and development company with an established portfolio in Tier-1 Mining Districts in the United States and Australia, is pleased to announce final assays from auger soil sampling at the Oaky Creek prospect at the Company’s 100% owned Armidale Antimony-Gold project in New South Wales, generating five high-confidence Antimony drill target regions across the prospect.

The new auger soil results include additional sampling close to the historical workings at Oaky Creek South, with multiple samples returning values of over 500ppm Sb, with values of up to 1.16% Sb and 612ppm As (Figure 2; Appendix 1). The new results strengthen and support prior results, from a single line of eight auger samples taken over the workings in 2025, which returned values of up to 1.36% Sb and 351ppm As[1] . These antimony values are exceptionally high soil sample assays. As per Figure 2, antimony values of >100ppm are closely related to the mapped quartz-carbonate-stibnite veins.
Auger Program Defines Five High-Confidence Antimony Drill Targets at Oaky Creek
On the Oaky Creek South Main Grid,~400m northwest of the workings, infill and extensional auger sampling of the previously reported[1, 2] coherent, NE-trending ~30m wide antimony-arsenic auger soil anomaly returned further strong results of up to 356ppm Sb and 413ppm As (Appendix 1), with the anomaly now extending 300m in strike extent and remaining open to the northeast (Figure 2, Figure 3). The results to date at Oaky Creek South highlight the Main Grid soil anomaly and associated quartz-carbonate-stibnite veins and the Oaky Creek South workings as priority targets for drill testing, which is planned for the second quarter of 2026. In addition, anomalous arsenic in auger soil samples at Oaky Creek South appears to form a halo across and surrounding the anomalous antimony that is closely spatially associated with vein-style quartz-carbonate-stibnite mineralisation (Figure 2). Multiple arsenic anomalies remain open at the edges of the current coverage at Oaky Creek South between the historical workings and the Oaky Creek South Main Grid and further surface sampling to the east and west of the current coverage may define additional antimony anomalies that would also be potential drill targets. The new results are for approximately 900 additional auger soil samples collected over conventional soil anomalies at Oaky Creek South and Oaky Creek North, more than tripling auger soil coverage from approximately 430 samples, which were reported in November 2025[3] and earlier this month[4] (Figure 1). The comprehensive program has successfully produced multiple drill ready targets for Red Mountain.

Additional drill targets confirmed for Oaky Creek North
The new auger soil results encompass the remainder of the ~1.5km conventional soil anomaly at Oaky Creek North (Figure 4), including the historical workings and an antimony-bearing creek outcrop (Figure 5). Both prospects feature multiple mineralised (>0.5% Sb) rock chip samples and exposed quartz-carbonate-stibnite veins. The auger soil results show narrow, strong antimony-arsenic anomalies related to the main mapped veins at both prospects (Figure 5), with peak values of 3,011ppm Sb and 859ppm As immediately adjacent to the creek outcrop and 525ppm Sb and 166ppm As at the Oaky Creek South workings (Appendix 1).
Initial auger soil results from the southern end of the conventional soil anomaly at Oaky Creek North, reported earlier in the month[4] , returned multiple anomalous values of up to 137ppm Sb and 334ppm As (Figure 4), defining a coherent NNW-trending antimony auger soil anomaly that broadly correlates with the earlier conventional soil results and the distribution of mineralised stibnite-bearing rock chip samples (refer to Figure 1).
The auger soil antimony-arsenic anomalies at the creek outcrop and the Oaky Creek North Workings both extend over a strike extent of 100-200m, indicating potential for a significant antimony-bearing orogenic vein system. Both targets, as well as the previously defined “Oaky Creek N South Extension” target at the southern end of the conventional soil anomaly, represent priority targets for drill-testing planned for the upcoming quarter.
Oaky Creek represents a significant 3km long orogenic antimony system with multiple
drill-ready targets
The Company’s initial sampling program at Oaky Creek comprised a 50m x 100m spaced grid soil sampling program centered on a major splay of the Namoi Fault, accompanied by rock chip sampling. As initially reported in June 2025[5] , the soil sampling defines a coherent, ~1.5km long, 100-200m 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.

Sampling campaigns at Oaky Creek[67] , returned multiple rock chip samples[8, 9, 10] with values of over 25% Sb and 0.1g/t Au for five different areas, with mineralised and anomalous rock samples showing a strong spatial correlation to the antimony soil anomaly (Figure 1). When considered collectively, the soil and rock chip results indicate a significant orogenic antimony mineral system with a strike extent of 3km, which is analogous to Larvotto Resources’ ( ASX: LRV; Market Cap. ~AU$515 million ) Hillgrove Project, which lies east of Red Mountain’s project area.
Red Mountain’s ~1,300 sample infill auger soil sampling campaign across the full ~3km strike extent of the Oaky Creek prospect (Figure 1) was completed across the past two quarters to tighten the Company’s existing 100m x 50m spaced soil grid in order to better constrain individual high priority drill targets. This detailed systematic work has allowed the Company to define five high priority orogenic antimony target regions at the prospect, for drill testing at Oaky Creek next quarter.
Red Mountain Armidale Antimony-Gold Project background
Red Mountain’s 100%-owned Armidale Antimony-Gold Project lies in the Southern New England Orogen (SNEO) in northeastern New South Wales, 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 SNEO is recognised as Australia’s premier Antimony province (Figure 6). Antimony occurs in hydrothermal quartz veins, breccias and stockworks, often with associated gold and/or tungsten mineralisation. Red Mountain’s Armidale Antimony-Gold Project has an extensive 85km length 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

• 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 metallurgical testing has just commenced, refining techniques will be applied to achieve a 30-40% Sb concentrate with a >70% Sb recovery. A drilling plan is underway with APO lodged but as yet not approved. Once approved RC drilling of ~2000m is planned. A ground resist survey is also planned to assist in the delineation of the hydrothermal zones possibly containing the antimony mineralisation. • Diagrams of the sampling positions have beenprovided in the text. |
