ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 26 November 2025

DIAMOND DRILLING DISCOVERS SIGNIFICANTLY DEEPER AND MORE EXTENSIVE COPPER MINERALISATION AT TOLLU DEPOSIT, WA

Tollu continues to show exciting exploration upside and the strong potential to host Cu-Ni-Co-PGE style mineralisation

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays confirm that diamond hole TLD005 has intersected additional high-grade copper (Cu) mineralisation, some 400m deeper and significantly further to the south (130m) of the Chatsworth mineralisation; in isolation to any previous Cu intersects at Tollu

  • In addition to previously reported results in September 2025, further analysis shows that drill hole TLD005 also intersected significant high-grade Cu at two other locations much deeper downhole (see Figure 2), including:

1.8m at 2.5% Cu from 912.4m downhole; and

4m at 1.3% Cu from 1,048m downhole, inclusive of o 1.6m at 2.7% Cu from 1,048.4m

  • Additional multiple lower grade Cu intersections were observed throughout TLD005, highlighting the potential extent and upside of the Cu system at Tollu (see below and Appendix 2 for further information)

  • Significantly, even at lower grades, geochemistry in TLD005 indicates that cobalt (Co) is probably in sulphide form, not always associated with Cu mineralisation, and bias towards an underlying gabbro

  • Potential association of Co sulphide mineralisation in the gabbro that underlies the Tollu Cu deposit is important for Redstone’s exploration strategy because it is potential evidence for a magmatic sulphide source of the Tollu Cu deposit and hence elevates the prospectivity of the entire Project for Voisey’s Bay style magmatic Cu-Ni-Co-PGE mineral deposits, such as that of the world-class NeboBabel deposit located 60km to the west of Tollu

  • These results confirm the strong success of deep diamond hole TLD005 which are in addition to the previously announced (17 September 2025) intersection of:

10m at 1.37% Cu from 193m downhole, inclusive of o 4m at 2.37% Cu from 195m downhole

Redstone Resources Limited (ASX Code: RDS ) (‘ Redstone ’ or the ‘Company ’) is pleased to report outcomes of the remaining geochemistry from the 1,195.5m diamond drill hole TLD005, drilled beneath the Tollu Cu Deposit on the Company’s 100% owned West Musgrave Project (the Project ) in Western Australia (Refer to Figure 1 ).

Pleasingly, the latest results confirm that drill hole TLD005 has discovered multiple lenses of Cu mineralisation - including two further significant high-grade intersections - at much greater depth (over 400m deeper vertically than previous) and more extensive being ~130m further to the south, in isolation to any Cu mineralisation at Tollu ever reported by Redstone (refer to Figures 2 and 3).

Commenting on the latest exciting results from TLD005, Chairman Richard Homsany said:

“We are delighted and very encouraged by the latest outcomes from diamond hole TLD005, which highlight some of the most significant exploration progress made at Redstone’s West Musgrave copper project in some time.

TLD005 has dramatically expanded the known limits of the Tollu Cu mineralisation, having intersected high-grade Cu mineralisation, some 400m deeper (vertically) and 130m south, in isolation of all known Cu mineralisation in the area of the Tollu Cu deposit.

These intersections suggest that the Tollu Cu mineralising system is potentially more extensive and far deeper than previously considered; and analysis of Co geochemistry suggests a potential magmatic source for the Co which also gives credence for a similar source for the Tollu Cu mineralisation.

Importantly, there are no indications of this new zone of deep and isolated Cu mineralisation directly above it at the surface, unlike at the Tollu Cu deposit, where all historical drilling has targeted Cu veins that often outcrop at the surface.

This suggests there is far more Cu mineralisation to be discovered at Tollu.

We are now working towards finalising follow-up drilling plans for early 2026 and will report on further progress in the near-term.”

Diamond Drilling Delivers More High-Grade Cu Mineralisation

The two further significant high grade Cu intersections of TLD005 were ( Figure 2 ):

1.8m at 2.5% Cu from 912.4m downhole; and

4m at 1.3% Cu from 1,048m downhole, inclusive of o 1.6m at 2.7% Cu from 1,048.4m.

These are in addition to the previously announced (17 September 2025) intersection of:

Figure 2 – Cross-section of geology and significant (1% and greater and over 1m downhole width) and anomalous (0.1% and greater) copper (Cu) and significant (0.07% and greater) and anomalous (0.03% and greater) cobalt (Co) assay results for the completed deep diamond drill hole TLD005. See text for further details. No historical drilling results included in this cross-section. Looking towards the NE approximately.

Figure 3 shows that the bottom 4m intersection of 1.3% Cu is some 400m deeper vertically than the previously deepest significant Cu mineralisation ever intersected at the Tollu Cu deposit, being 0.7m at 1.68% from 470.2m downhole in TLD003, which was drilled in 2012. This TLD005 deep high-grade Cu intersection is over 800m vertical from the surface and, importantly, was not the only sign of Cu mineralisation on the way downhole to that point. High-grade Cu was also intersected at 912m downhole (see above and Figures 2 and 3 ) and further lower grade but anomalous Cu (0.1% Cu and greater) was intersected at 6.5m, 307.8m, 338.5m, 340.26m, 508.42m, 622m, 657.7m, 816.32m, 863.03m, 870.67m, 946.61m, 958m and 966m downhole (refer to Figure 2 and Appendix 2 ).

Figure 3 – Cross-section of TLD005 as in Figure 2 but projected onto all historical drilling results from the drilling of the Chatsworth Prospect part of the Tollu Cu deposit. Looking towards the NE approximately. Only intersections of Co in TLD005 of 0.05% Co and greater included. As shown, significant historical intersections of Cu are greater than 1% Cu and anomalous Cu intervals are greater than 0.1% Cu. A number of smaller anomalous intersections of Cu in Figure 2 not included here for clarity in the section. See text for further details.

The depth of the Cu mineralisation can be explained by the size and depth of the structure related to it. The entire length of drill hole TLD005 encountered broken rock from brecciation and shearing (see Figure 2 ) that was oriented approximately parallel to the drilling (NW-SE towards SSE), suggesting that the structures that also host the Tollu Cu veins continue to at least 800m from surface and probably beyond. Although the drilling of TLD005 down the structure hosting the Tollu Cu mineralisation was intended (refer to ASX announcement of 17 September 2025), this made it difficult to maintain the planned azimuth, and as a result the drill hole veered away from its target, which was to pass deep beneath the potential hydrothermal ‘chute’ of the Tollu Cu deposit (see Figure 4 ). Instead, drill hole TLD005 passed approximately 130m to the SW of the planned target and ended below an area not previously drilled to the south, in isolation, to all of the main areas of known Cu mineralisation (refer to Figure’s 3 and 4 ).

Figure 4 – Plan view of planned v final orientation of TLD005 according to the downhole drilling survey, along with all significant and anomalous Cu grades intersected in TLD005 as outlined in 3 and Appendix 2, projected upon all historical drilling results for Cu at the Chatsworth Prospect part of the Tollu Cu deposit. As shown, significant historical intersections of Cu are greater than 1% Cu and thicker than 1m downhole and anomalous Cu intervals are greater than 0.1% Cu. See text for further details.

The deep TLD005 high grade Cu mineralisation at approximate 912m and 1,048m downhole, could herald another major area of high grade Cu mineralisation at Tollu, potentially very deep . It is possible that outcropping Cu mineralisation, also intersected in limited drilling to the WNW of the deep TLD005 high grade ‘hits’, previously thought to be isolated, are linked at depth. It could also be possible that the deep high grade ‘hits’ of TLD005 are linked to the Chatsworth Prospect mineralisation via a north shallowing structural connection. Neither of which can be proven or disproven without further drilling.

Cobalt Mineralisation and Magmatic Sulphide Prospectivity

One of the main objectives of deep diamond hole TLD005 was to test deep beneath the Tollu Cu veins for evidence of a Voisey’s Bay style massive Cu-Ni mineralising system in the area. This is based on Redstone’s conceptual exploration model that the high grade Tollu Cu veins could represent a remobilisation of Cu, preferentially leached by hydrothermal fluids from a large, massive sulphide accumulation hosted within a mafic magmatic intrusion at depth (see ASX announcement of 23 April 2025). The obvious essential component of this would be the presence of a mafic intrusion, such as gabbro, at depth beneath the Tollu Cu veins, and then, evidence for magmatic sulphides within this intrusion.

6

ASX: RDS

==> picture [51 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Significantly, TLD005 intersected a gabbro dominant mafic intrusion at 811m downhole until the end of hole, proving that gabbro does reside beneath the Tollu Cu deposit, as conceptualised. Above this is a 300m transition zone (downhole thickness) of mixed mafic (inclusive of similar gabbro to that below) and felsic to intermediate volcanic and sub-volcanic rocks. Similar felsic and intermediate igneous rocks dominate above 520m to the surface. The transition zone is interpreted to be a mixed zone as a result of the large breccia/shear that dominates the entire TLD005 drillhole, where large cobble to boulder sized breccia pieces of the mafic have been caught up in the overlying felsics.

Co mineralisation has been of particular interest for Redstone, not only because it is found in varying amounts with the Tollu Cu mineralisation and has economic value, but also because, given its tendency to be associated with mafic to ultramafic rocks, its presence may be evidence that the Cu is from a mafic magmatic source. Low grade Co mineralisation was found throughout TLD005, in thin lenses, with the most significant concentrations being:

  • 1.1m at 0.11% Co from 728.3m downhole; and

  • 0.6m at 0.076% Co from 1,048m downhole, within the deepest significant zone of Cu mineralisation stated above.

This is in addition to the previously announced Co intersection on 17 September 2025 in the upper 10m of quartz vein hosted Cu mineralisation of 1.2m at 0.12% Co from 201.2m downhole (see Figure’s 2 and 3 and Appendix 2 ). However, further anomalous Co (0.03% Co and greater) was intersected at 509.3m, 543.57m, 609m, 618m, 624m, 654m, 730m, 775.32m, 864.7m, 871.4m, 912.4m, 966m, 971m, 978m, 987m, 997m, and 1,083.51m downhole (see Figure 2 and Appendix 2 ).

Significantly, the Co in TLD005 is not always associated with Cu or quartz veining, and apart from the significant Co anomaly in the shallower 10m zone of Cu mineralisation previously announced, there is a bias of Co anomalies in the deeper mafic rocks greater than 700m downhole depth (refer to Figure 2 ). This could be subtle evidence for a gabbroic source for the Co.

It is also significant that even at low concentrations, Co seems to be associated with sulphur (S) in most of the mafic geochemical samples (see Figure 5 ). This suggests that Co is often in the form of a sulphide when in the mafic rocks, even when not associated with the Cu mineralisation within the quartz veins. This, along with the bias of Co anomalies in the deeper mafic rocks, could be evidence for a magmatic sulphide source for the Co. Given the obvious implications of this for the source of the Tollu Cu mineralisation and the prospectivity for a magmatic sulphide Cu-Ni-Co-PGE deposit on the Project, this will be investigated further.

Figure 5 – Bivariate chart showing a relatively strong positive association between the concentration of sulphur (S) and cobalt (Co) in the mafic only geochemical samples collected and assayed in TLD005, above approximately 50ppm Co. This relatively strong association suggests that Co is present as a sulphide in the mafic samples when in concentrations more than only 50ppm Co. See text for further details.

Next Steps: Exploration Plans

Redstone was recently awarded a West Australian State government EIS co-fund grant (Round 32) for up to $180,000 for a universal RC drilling program to test priority magnetic targets in a 7.5km corridor NE of the Tollu Cu deposit . This is in addition to the Round 31 EIS grant successfully awarded to Redstone in the June 2025 quarter to co-fund a further deep diamond hole for up to $220,000.

Planning is currently underway for this potential RC drilling program to be undertaken in the first half of 2026.

Moving forward, Redstone will continue to examine the geology and mineralisation of the TLD005 drill core in greater detail to further ascertain its implications for Redstone’s exploration strategy. It is already clear that TLD005 has proved that the Tollu Cu mineralisation is not restricted to the package of felsic to intermediate volcanics and sub-volcanics of what is currently defined as the Tollu Cu Deposit.

The Tollu Cu mineralising system runs deep into an underlying gabbroic intrusion and TLD005 has provided some suggestive evidence that this mafic gabbro may be the ultimate source of the Cu sulphides at the Tollu Cu deposit. If so, then this highlights the prospectivity of the entire Project for magmatic Cu or magmatic CuNi-Co-PGE sulphide deposits, such as that of the world-class Canadian Voisey’s Bay deposit or Nebo-Babel deposit, the latter situated only 60km to the west of Tollu.

ASX: RDS

==> picture [51 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

A number of magnetic anomalies to the NE of Tollu (refer to Figure 6 ) have already been geologically tested by Redstone through very limited RC drilling (Prospects EM5, Cigar West and East and Hiding Maggie) and shown to be the right rocks for hosting magmatic Cu or Cu-Ni-Co-PGE deposits. One RC drill hole, TLC170, has already shown that these intrusions are potentially fertile, having intersected 94m (downhole thickness) of visible low grade Cu sulphides of 0.03-0.06% Cu from only 66m downhole (refer to ASX announcement of 6 July, 2020).

However, there are many more similar magnetic anomalies thought to be mafic magmatic intrusions in the same area NE of Tollu that are yet to be tested and for which some of the limited drilling completed so far requires further follow-up.

Additionally, a large magnetic body of rock shown in airborne magnetics directly east of Tollu but spanning all the way to the Hiding Maggie East Prospect, some 6.5km to the ENE of Tollu, has also never been drilled (refer to blue bounded area in Figure 6 ).

These targets are being considered for drilling in the potential upcoming RC program stated above.

Redstone is now assessing how best to explore at Tollu in order to test the extent of the new TLD005 mineralisation and whether it is connected to the currently known Tollu Cu mineralisation, which is previously only been determined to be mostly within approximately 300m from the surface vertically. This may include drilling of an additional deep diamond hole for which Redstone was also successfully awarded a Round 31 EIS grant in the June 2025 quarter to co-fund a further deep diamond hole for up to $220,000.

Note the large amalgamated voluminous magnetic feature adjacent Tollu to the east (inside blue perforated boundary) that stretches all the way to Hiding Maggie East, that could also be target mafic gabbro given the results of TLD005.

  • • To estimate total error, field duplicates are taken to undergo all the same crushing, splitting and milling procedures at the lab. Overall, the field duplicate sampling rate is targeted at approximately 1 in 20 samples or 5% of the sample stream or where considered appropriate due to observations of the drill core and according to the geologist’s instructions.

  • • It is important to note that due to this single deep diamond drill hole being part of the West Australian government’s research grant scheme and the requirements of this research grant to have full half core preserved at all times, ‘true duplicates’ were not taken. True duplicates are the other half of the core sampled, which means no core remains in areas of duplicate sampling. So, for this drill hole, field duplicates are half of the half core geochemical sample taken. So, in areas where duplicates exist the actual geochemical sample is also only in effect a quarter core sample.
