Riedel Resources Makes Transformational Gold Acquisition

Acquires Two Belt-Scale Gold Projects in Western Australia

Riedel Resources Ltd (ASX: RIE) ("Riedel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement with Sarama Resources Ltd (ASX: SRR, TSXV: SWA) ("Sarama") to acquire¹ a majority and controlling interest² in two belt-scale gold exploration projects covering approximately¹⁰ 1,000km² in the prolific Laverton Gold District in Western Australia (the "Transaction").

The Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects are strategically positioned within a region of gold producers and capture under-explored greenstone belts that extend over a combined strike length of over 100km, presenting an outstanding exploration opportunity for the Company. The acquisition will complement Riedel's existing high-grade Kingman Gold Project¹ᵛ in Arizona, giving the Company exposure to three exploration-stage gold assets with drill-ready targets in two Tier 1 jurisdictions.

Highlights

  • Transaction transforms Riedel into multi-project gold explorer with exposure to two Tier 1 jurisdictions
  • Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects occupy belt-scale positions in highly prospective greenstone terranes in the prolific Laverton Gold District of Western Australia
  • Strategically located near recent major gold discoveries and producing mines - Gruyere (9.1Moz Au)ᵃ, Duketon (7.4Moz Au)ᵃˡ and Golden Highway Trend (1.6Moz Au)ᵃ⁰
  • Projects capture greenstone belt strike lengths of more than 100km and with limited systematic modern exploration undertaken
  • Cosmo Project hosts multiple kilometre-scale gold-in-soil anomaliesᵃ⁰ yet to be tested, with heritage surveys underway and drilling anticipated to commence in July 2026
  • Riedel's team augmented with addition of experienced mining executives Andrew Dinning, Paul Schmiede and geologist Jack Hamilton¹ᵃ, bringing significant experience and past success in the discovery and development of major gold projects including Kibali (31.1Moz Au)ᵃ and Sanutura (2.9Moz Au)ᵃⁱ
  • Sarama to hold an initial circa 32% equity interestᵃ⁰ in Reidel as a supportive shareholder
  • Concurrent A$2.5m equity placement to new and existing sophisticated investors, resulting in a strong proforma cash position of approximately A$4m to drive exploration programs forward across the portfolio. Directors to participate for a further A$150k subject to shareholder approval,
  • Transaction anticipated to complete in June 2026, subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent, including Riedel shareholder approval

Riedel Resources' Non-Executive Chairman, Scott Cuomo, commented: "Time and again, Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields have delivered world-class gold discoveries. The Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects occupy a commanding position over two of the remaining greenstone belts in Western Australia that are yet to be systematically explored. We are excited to secure such a rare land package to create a multi-project portfolio in Tier 1 jurisdictions and look forward to undertaking systematic exploration in the coming months."

RIEDEL RESOURCES

A MULTI-PROJECT GOLD EXPLORER

The Transaction positions Riedel to be a multi-project gold explorer with majority interests in and control over three large projects in the Tier 1 jurisdictions of Western Australia and Arizona, USA. The Company aims to bring the assets to account through comprehensive and systematic exploration, with a primary focus on exploring their potential to host economic gold mineralisation.

During its 18-month stewardship of the Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects (refer Figure 1), Sarama undertook significant data compilation, geochemical fieldwork and Aboriginal cultural heritage surveys – the latter an essential precursor for the first drilling program since the 1990s. This work has generated several kilometre-scale gold-in-soil anomalies $^{viii}$ (refer Appendices E & F) at the Cosmo Project which are the target of upcoming drill programs. Upon completion of the Transaction, Riedel aims to build on this foundation, kick-starting systematic and targeted exploration across the large landholding.

Riedel is also keen to refresh its outlook at the Kingman Project in Arizona where it previously delineated an initial high-grade Inferred Mineral Resource of 64,000oz $\mathrm{Au}^{\mathrm{iv}}$ , centred around the near-surface vein system at the Tintic Prospect. Historical work by the Company has focussed on this prospect and Riedel intends to leverage this knowledge to expand exploration activities across the broader project area which, despite hosting historical gold production of significance, remains largely untouched by modern exploration.

Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects

In one of Australia's most endowed gold regions, the Cosmo and Mt Venn Greenstone Belts stand out as an anomaly in term of the absence of major gold discoveries; an outcome attributed to historical land access constraints and differing commodity priorities of past exploration respectively, rather than any deficiency in geological prospectivity. Both projects have active work programs currently underway, and Riedel looks forward to continuing these and leveraging its regional positions.

Recent soil geochemistry surveys conducted at the $580\mathrm{km}^2$ Cosmo Project (refer Figure 2) delineated extensive gold-in-soil anomalous extending in aggregate for $45\mathrm{km}$ along strike with footprints up to $1.8\mathrm{km}$ in width $^{viii}$ – an encouraging result for what was the first broad-scale exploration program ever conducted on the project (refer


RIEDEL RESOURCES

Appendix E & F). The anomalous is present in the 8 key prospects, including an area where grab samples graded $52\mathrm{g / t}$ Au and $16\mathrm{g / t}$ $\mathsf{Au}^{\mathrm{e0}}$ (refer Appendix D) and has informed preliminary drill targets which are currently undergoing Aboriginal cultural heritage clearance ahead of reconnaissance drilling anticipated to commence in July 2026.

Previous exploration at the $420\mathrm{km}^2$ Mt Venn Project has identified multiple gold occurrences (refer Figure 3), along with potential for copper and platinum group elements. Despite the identification of several km-scale gold-in-soil anomalies $^{\text{xlv}}$ by soil geochemistry and auger drilling, many of these targets are yet to be properly tested; a situation driven by commodity prices and competing corporate objectives.

Riedel plans to undertake a full re-interpretation of the geologic model for the Mt Venn Project using geophysical data as several internal intrusive units have been identified throughout the project and are commonly associated with local structural features, including a regionally extensive shear zone of significant width that extends the entire length of the belt. This desktop work will advance in parallel with soil geochemistry in areas that lack coverage, or where the results of historical surveys may have been suppressed by sand cover.

Further details for the Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects are included in Appendices A and B respectively.

Kingman Project

A significant majority of the Kingman Project remains untested by modern exploration and is prospective for gold-silver and copper-molybdenum mineralisation in epithermal vein and porphyry settings respectively.

Exploration to date has focused on the outcropping, high-grade, gold-silver vein system at the Tintic Prospect which hosts an inferred Mineral Resource estimate $^{\text{IV}}$ of 64,000oz Au and 689,000oz Ag, reflecting the Company's drilling at the project which returned encouraging results, including $^{\text{AV}}$ :

  • 3.8m @ 98.8g/t Au, 151g/t Ag from 20.6m, including 1.5m @ 230.8g/t Au, 359g/t Ag (2021-CHL-004);
  • 5.3m @ 18.1g/t Au, 24g/t Ag from 23.6m (2021-CHL-090);
  • 0.6m @ 71.9g/t Au, 92.5g/t Ag from 19.2m (DD25TT012);
  • 4.6m @ 12.4g/t Au, 52g/t Ag from 45m (2021-CHL-075);
  • 4.4m @ 11.2g/t Au, 169.9g/t Ag from 9.8m (DD25TT019); and
  • 4.6m @ 8.4g/t Au, 39.2g/t Ag from 100.6m (2021-CHL-030).

With the delineation of this initial Mineral Resource and associated insight into the nature of the vein system, Riedel is keen to expand its exploration focus to the greater project area which encompasses numerous historic mines and outcropping gold-silver veins that were actively worked in the period circa 1880 to 1940. Despite the presence of significant historical mining activity and a paradigm shift in precious metals commodity prices, the area has received little attention over the ensuing period and fundamentally lacks coverage by modern exploration techniques.

Riedel intends to continue progressing the Kingman Project through regionally-focused work programs comprising soil geochemistry over the alluvium-covered southern part of the project, trenching over specific mineralised zones and potentially ground and airborne geophysical surveys. Planning for these activities is underway, and the Company anticipates their commencement during H2 2026.

REFRESHED MANAGEMENT TEAM

As part of the Transaction, Riedel intends to restructure its leadership team to align with the Company's expanded portfolio and drive the next phase of growth and exploration. The proposed changes are intended to strengthen Riedel's technical and corporate capability as it advances the Cosmo Gold and Mt Venn Projects in Western Australia, alongside the Company's existing Kingman Project in Arizona. The refreshed team brings substantial exploration and corporate and business development experience, which the Company believes will be important as it progresses systematic exploration across the enlarged project portfolio.

Andrew Dinning has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Riedel and it is proposed that Paul Schmiede be appointed Chief Executive Officer on completion of the Transaction. Jack Hamilton will fulfil the role of Special Advisor - Exploration with oversight over exploration activities on the three projects.

Messers Dinning, Schmiede and Hamilton are experienced minerals industry executives who have acquired in-depth knowledge of the Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects during Sarama's stewardship of the projects over the last 2 years and have developed solid working relationships with associated Native Title groups. Prior to their recent involvement in Australian projects, they achieved success through the discovery and development and monetisation of major African gold projects including Kibali (31.1Moz Au) $^6$ and Sanutura (2.9Moz Au) $^{6}$ . They also have extensive experience in domestic and international equity capital markets through Australian, Canadian and UK listed vehicles.

Riedel's existing Non-Executive Chairman, Scott Cuomo and Non-Executive Director, Adrien Wing will continue in their current roles and look forward to working with the new team members to deliver shareholder value.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY

Pursuant to the binding Share Sale Agreement ("SSA") between Riedel and Sarama, Riedel will acquire Sarama's interest in the Cosmo and Mt Venn Projects through the acquisition of a $100\%$ interest in Sarama's wholly-owned subsidiary, Yikarri Resources Pty Ltd ("Yikarri") for consideration comprising equity instruments in Riedel and payment of certain Project-related expenses on Sarama's behalf as follows:

  • issuance of 150 million shares in Riedel to Sarama (or its nominee);
  • issuance of 100 million performance rights in Riedel to Sarama (or its nominee) across four tranches vesting upon the achievement of certain exploration, mineral resource and share price milestones; and
  • payment of project-related costs that are incurred by Sarama, capped at A$300,000.

All consideration securities will be subject to a 12-month escrow. Further details are included in Appendix C.

CONCURRENT $2.5M EQUITY PLACEMENT

In connection with the proposed acquisition, Riedel has received commitments to raise A$2.5 million (before costs) through a two-tranche equity placement at A$0.025 per share. The capital raising is intended to provide funding for exploration activities across the Cosmo, Mt Venn and Kingman Projects and general working capital. On a post-completion basis, Riedel expects to have approximately A$4.0 million in cash to fund its planned work programs. The placement is proposed to occur in two tranches:

  • Tranche 1: 47,496,050 shares at A$0.025 per share for approximately $1.2M (before expenses) to be completed using the Company's existing 7.1 (26,097,617 shares) and 7.1A (21,398,433 shares) placement capacities; and
  • Tranche 2: 52,503,950 Shares at A$0.025 per share for approximately A$1.3M (before expenses) subject to shareholder approval.

708 Capital Pty Ltd was appointed lead manager to the placement.

Riedel will seek shareholder approval for the acquisition and the second tranche of the equity placement at a general meeting anticipated to be held in June 2026.

3470-9911-5850, v. 3


RIEDEL RESOURCES

Subject to shareholder approval, Riedel has also agreed to issue 10 million lead manager options to the broker in connection with the capital raising. The options will be exercisable at A$0.045 each and will expire 3 years following issue.

Proposed CEO Paul Schmiede will participate in the placement through a $30,000 subscription. Existing directors are also seeking shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 to participate in the placement for an aggregate of $150,000, separate from and in addition to the $2.5 million raised under the placement.

APPENDIX A COSMO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Location

The Cosmo Project comprises 7 contiguous early-stage gold exploration tenements covering approximately 580km² in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. The project is located approximately 85km north-east of Laverton and is readily accessible via the Great Central Road, which services the Cosmo Newbery Community and the 9.1Moz Au° Gruyere Gold Mine, 95km to the east, and represents a substantial, consolidated landholding in one of Australia's most prolific gold regions.

Ownership and Joint Venture Structure

Following completion of the Transaction, Riedel, through the entity being acquired, will hold an 80% interest in all the project's exploration licences, with the exception of E38/2274, in which Riedel will hold an effective 60% beneficial interest, with Cosmo Gold Limited ("Cosmo Gold") and an existing co-tenement holder retaining 15% and 25% interests respectively.

Riedel will have the right (expiring 6 December 2026) to acquire Cosmo Gold's residual interest in the Cosmo Project for A$1.25 million. If exercised, this would increase Riedel's interest to 100% in all of the project's exploration licences other than E38/2274, in which case Riedel's interest would increase to 75%.

If that right is not exercised, the parties will continue under the existing joint venture arrangements with Riedel sole funding exploration and evaluation until a Decision to Mine. At this point, each party will contribute to joint venture costs in proportion to its participating interest, with standard dilution provisions applying. If a party's participating interest is diluted to 10% or less, that interest will automatically convert to a 0.5% net smelter return royalty, with the non-diluting party then holding a 100% interest in all of the project's exploration licences other than E38/2274, in which case Riedel's interest would be 75%.

A Belt-Scale Opportunity

The project covers a significant portion of the Cosmo Newbery Greenstone Belt, a prospective greenstone belt with a strike extent of more than 50km. Gold was first discovered in the area in the 1890s, and numerous historic workings are recorded across the tenure. Work completed to date has identified multiple exploration targets, supporting the view that Cosmo has the potential to host gold mineralisation of significance.

Cosmo is considered prospective for gold mineralisation and open for discovery, with the following features:

  • litho-structural similarities to the adjacent Dorothy Hills Greenstone Belt, which hosts the 9.1Moz Au° Gruyere Mine;
  • prospective volcanic and volcano-sediment rocks underly a large part of the project with localised intrusives also present to create a geologically diverse package of rocks;
  • major regional fault/shear system extending for +50km has the potential to provide requisite fluid pathways and within favourable host rocks for gold mineralisation emplacement;
  • historic small-scale mining east of the regional system indicates gold deposition in the immediate area;
  • shallow sand/clay cover has limited the effectiveness of historical exploration and as a result the project in general has seen little to no significant exploration; and
  • recent soil geochemical using specialist analytical techniques to overcome ground cover challenges have delineated extensive gold-in-soil anomalous, forming initial targets for drilling.

Riedel considers that this combination of structure, lithology and historic gold occurrence provides a strong framework for the development of gold mineralisation system of significance.

Despite its scale and prospectivity, the project has seen limited modern exploration due to historical land access issues which have been largely resolved in recent years*4. As a result, the project did not benefit from the sustained application of modern geochemical, geophysical and drilling techniques during a period when many comparable Western Australian gold projects were being systematically advanced. This is particularly relevant given that

3470-9911-5850, v. 3


RIEDEL
RESOURCES

approximately 75% of the Project area lies under cover, reducing the effectiveness of earlier shallow, surface-based exploration methods and limiting historical testing of the Project's bedrock gold potential. With these historical access constraints now largely resolved$^{49}$), Riedel considers Cosmo to represent a rare opportunity to undertake systematic modern exploration across a belt-scale greenstone system in the Eastern Goldfields.

Soil Geochemistry Delineates Extensive Gold Anomalism

Regional soil geochemistry surveys undertaken in 2025 represented the first significant systematic exploration program undertaken across the Cosmo Project. This work delineated several large gold anomalous trends with an aggregate strike extent of approximately $45\mathrm{km}$ , with individual anomalies extending for up to approximately $7\mathrm{km}$ across a range of litho-structural settings[viii] (refer Appendices E & F). Interpretation of these anomalous zones has identified 8 key prospect areas, which are expected to form the basis of initial reconnaissance drilling targeted to commence in July 2026.

Clear Pathway to Initial Drill Testing

With land access now largely resolved $^{avi}$ , Riedel considers Cosmo to represent a rare opportunity to undertake systematic modern exploration across a belt-scale greenstone system in Western Australia. Aboriginal cultural heritage surveys are underway, with drilling planned across 8 target areas and anticipated to commence in July 2026. The drill program is the first systematic drill testing of the project and is designed to test the potential for gold mineralisation at key structural and geochemical targets. Figures A2-A4 illustrate the extensive gold-in-soil anomalous in target areas in the central part of the project that will be the focus for initial reconnaissance drilling.

APPENDIX B

MT VENN PROJECT OVERVIEW

Location

The Mt Venn Project comprises 3 contiguous exploration tenements covering approximately 420km² in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. The project is located approximately 130km north-east of Laverton and is readily accessible via the Great Central Road, which services the Cosmo Newbery Community, the 9.1Moz Au⁴ Gruyere Gold Mine (40km east) and the 1.6Moz Au⁴⁰ Golden Highway Trend (20km east) and represents a substantial, consolidated landholding in one of Australia's most prolific gold regions.

Ownership and Joint Venture Structure

Following completion of the Transaction, Riedel, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, will hold an 80% interest in all Mt Venn Project exploration licences, with Cazaly Resources Limited ("Cazaly") holding a 20% interest under an existing joint venture arrangement. Under the joint venture agreement, Riedel will act as manager and operator of the project and Cazaly's interest is free-carried until completion of a pre-feasibility study in respect of a mine development at the project. At this point, each party will contribute to joint venture costs in proportion to its participating interest, with standard dilution provisions applying. If Cazaly elects to withdraw, or a party's participating interest is diluted to 5% or less, that interest will automatically convert to a 2% net smelter return royalty, with the non-diluting party then holding a 100% interest.

The project comprises the contiguous Exploration Licences E38/3111, E38/3150 and E38/3581.

Belt-Scale Gold Corridor

The Mt Venn Project is considered prospective for gold mineralisation on the basis of its scale, structural setting and existing exploration results. The project captures most of the strike length of the underexplored Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt and includes an approximately 50km-long regional structural corridor, interpreted to be a key control on mineralisation. A kilometre-scale gold trend has been delineated by semi-continuous gold-in-soil anomalous⁴², historic workings and anomalous drill intercepts. Drilling by Cazaly in 2017 intersected broad zones of gold mineralisation for a significant strike length, which has subsequently been further extended⁴⁴. The project is also considered prospective for copper and nickel with previous operators conducting programs of varying intensity targeting these commodities.

Limited Systematic Gold Exploration

Despite its location within a highly endowed gold district and in proximity to major deposits, the project remains relatively underexplored from a systematic gold exploration perspective. Historical exploration across the project has been fragmented and, in Riedel's view, has not fully assessed the broader scale of the project's mineralised corridor or the significance of its numerous anomalous trends and structural targets.

Opportunity from Systematic Follow-Up

Riedel considers the Mt Venn Project to provide valuable exposure to a second belt-scale gold system in the prolific Laverton Gold District. With a large structural corridor, extensive anomalous, historic workings and broad zones of mineralisation already identified, the project presents a compelling opportunity for Riedel to discover gold mineralisation of significance.

Near Term Plans

Riedel intends to continue compiling historical data into a cohesive project database that will support sound geological interpretation and target generation. In parallel, Riedel has commissioned a project-scale review and interpretation of several sets of geophysical data and envisages that, when complete, this product will be synthesised with soil geochemistry and drilling datasets to enhance the geologic model for the project and refine exploration targets. Riedel has already identified several areas lacking coverage by soil geochemistry and will look to formulate field programs to address this while the Transaction nears completion.

TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE COMPLIANCE – COSMO PROJECT

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Preface The Cosmo Project (the “Project”) is comprised of several exploration tenements over which exploration has occurred to varying degrees. Prior to Sarama Resources (“Sarama”) becoming involved in the Project in Q4 2024, the majority of reliable exploration work has been conducted in years, recent to 2024, by Cosmo Gold Pty Ltd (“Cosmo Gold”). Other historical work was undertaken by various operators in various discrete campaigns that were typically of narrow focus.
Sampling Techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Grab Sampling (Other Operators) – various operators conducted sampling on an ad-hoc basis in areas of geological interest and for material of geological or mineralogical interest during the period circa 1969-2002. An opinion on the quality of this historical sampling is not able to be formed given the general lack of information available.

Lag Sampling (Other Operators) – a previous operator conducted sampling over gridded areas in 2000-2003. An opinion on the quality of this historical sampling is not able to be formed given the general lack of information available, however it is noted that many of the samples collected were in areas of transported cover and may not have been true lag material.

MagLag Sampling (Other Operators) – various operators conducted sampling over various gridded areas in 2001-2002. No information is available to outline sampling methodology. An opinion on the quality of this historical sampling is not able to be formed given the general lack of information available.

Stream Sediment Sampling (Other Operators) – a previous operator conducted stream sediment sampling in 2000-2003. An opinion on the quality of this historical sampling is not able to be formed given the general lack of information available.

Soil Geochemistry Sampling (Other Operators) – various operators conducted sampling over gridded areas in 1994 and 2000-2003. Levelling issues are apparent in the 1994 sampling so quantity of sample is questionable. The 2000-2003 sampling focussed on the -2mm fraction and is considered of acceptable quality in outcropping areas and less so for transported or covered areas.

Soil Geochemistry Sampling (3D Resources / Cosmo Gold) – sampling was conducted on gridded areas of outcrop in 2017. Sampling targets the 1mm fraction for Mobile Metal Ion analysis and -250 micron fraction for multi-element acid digest analysis.

Soil Geochemistry (Cosmo Gold & Sarama) – sampling conducted on gridded areas from hand-dug holes to approximately 100-200mm depth. The full sample is sieved to -0.9mm (or -2mm) in the field to produce a sub-sample of approximately 200g for further sub-sampling at the laboratory. The +0.9mm (or +2mm) fraction is discarded in the field. Standard field equipment is used to collect and produce the initial sub-sample. The sampling procedure aims to ultimately target the dispersion/plume of leached minerals in a -2 micron fraction (for analysis by LabWest Minerals Analysis’ (“LabWest”) UltraFine+TM process) for target vectoring and the depth and type of sample preparation is considered to produce a robust quality sample across various regolith types.

Rotary-Air-Blast (“RAB”) Drilling (Other Operators) – limited information exists on the sampling techniques used for the H1 1995 RAB drilling program. It is noted that sampling occurred in 1m intervals prior to compositing over a 4m interval for analysis. |

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. It is assumed that historical sampling was located using digital survey equipment to capture and project point sample locations, however upon review, it is noted that locations of some sampling does not correlate with expectations or observations and there may either be equipment inaccuracy or datum ambiguity.

Work undertaken by Cosmo Gold and Sarama has used digital survey equipment that is appropriately calibrated/checked and which has an appropriate level of accuracy.

The various non-drilling sampling programs conducted on the Project targeted certain mediums according to the nature and intent of the specific sampling program. In general, grab sampling is expected to be representative of targeted material. Lag, MagLag, stream and soil sampling all target different mediums and reviews of historical information have indicated that some surveys are unreliable, possibly to the sampled mediums not being representative of the targeted medium (or even being of the targeted medium).

Soil Geochemistry Sampling (3D Resources / Cosmo Gold) – sampling by the UFF method in sand covered areas targets a specific fraction of the cover material and seeks to measure a response from leached material. Adequate QAQC controls for sampling have been put in place to ensure representativity.

Soil Geochemistry Sampling (Cosmo Gold & Sarama) – sampling by the ultra-fine fraction (“UFF”) method in sand covered areas targets a specific fraction of the cover material and seeks to measure a response from leached material. Fundamentally, the design of the technique broadens its application across a range of material types within the regolith and as a result sensitivity of results to sample representativity is reasonably low. The sampling is conducted with the assistance of regolith mapping to aid data processing and levelling of results over different regolith types.

RAB Drilling (Other Operators) – limited information exists on the drilling techniques used for the H1 1995 RAB drilling program and no comment can be made on procedures to ensure sample representativity and calibration of measurement tools. Collar location checking work in recent times has shown the co-ordinates of the drill program to suffer from varying degrees of inaccuracy. It is noted that drilling was open hole so sample contamination from wall material is likely to have occurred. |
| | Aspects of the determination of mineralization that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralization types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. | The presence of gold and other elements of economic interest have been identified by the use of ad-hoc and structured exploration programs which feature soil geochemistry and grab sampling in the early stages, before drilling in more advanced exploration.

Details on sampling, sub-sample preparation, analytical techniques and reporting of significant results are contained in the following sections. These methods are either widely used in the industry or are commercially available. |

Logging Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. RAB Drilling (Other Operators) – no information is available on sample recovery and therefore any potential for sample bias is unable to be determined.
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. RAB Drilling (Other Operators) – drilling information for the H1 1995 drill program was recorded on log sheets, however this information has been lost and has not been reviewed. It is assumed that logging was conducted on 1m intervals. This drilling was reconnaissance in nature and would not be suitable for the purposes of Mineral Resource estimation or other technical work.

Soil Geochemistry (Other Operators) - no information is available on sub-sampling procedures or sample preparation, however it is expected that field-based and lab-based subsampling would have been conducted.
Lag, MagLag and Stream Sediment Sampling (Other Operators) - no information is available on sub-sampling procedures or sample preparation, however it is expected that field-based and lab-based subsampling would have been conducted.
Soil Geochemistry (Cosmo Gold & Sarama) - from the initial -0.9mm (or -2mm) sub-sample material, further lab-based sub-sampling is undertaken to produce a -2 micron fraction for analysis using the LabWest UltraFine+™ process. The as-received -0.9mm (or -2mm) sub-sample is again sub-sampled using a scoop to produce an intermediate 40g sub-sample. This intermediate sub-sample is subjected to dispersion and settling process in an aqueous solution. A sub-sample of the solution, targeting the -2 micron fraction, is taken and subjected to dewatering by centrifuge. The resulting cake material is dried and subsequently crushed before a final 0.2g sub-sample is taken by scoop for analysis.

incorporate the insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials (“CRM”) into the sample stream delivered to the laboratory at rates of approximately 2%, 2% and 3% respectively to monitor sample repeatability (in the case of duplicates) and laboratory performance (in the case of blanks and CRM). Laboratory-based sub-sampling is undertaken according to set procedures and using specialist equipment and techniques appropriate to the task and in a controlled environment. To monitor sub-sampling quality and laboratory performance, blanks, duplicates and CRM are each inserted at a rate of 2 in 44 samples. Duplicates are inserted at the point of taking a 40g sub-sample from as-received material and blanks and CRM are inserted into the sample stream prior to the analysis stage (that is, after the production of the 0.2g sub-sample). The results of the internal laboratory quality control are reported regularly on a batch-by-batch basis, and the results were closely monitored by Sarama personnel. Ad-hoc QAQC activities, including check assaying and re-sampling, were conducted by both Cosmo and Sarama.

Grab Samples (Cosmo & Sarama) – for Au-only assays, samples assayed using fire assay techniques with 30g or 50g charge and AAS finish, providing total Au content. Multi-element assays are determined using acid/solvent digest prior to a range of finishing options including ICP-AES, XRF, AAS or MS with these techniques giving generally near-total element contents (according to specific techniques used). The nature/objective of the sampling program is such that near-total analysis as part of a suite of elements is acceptable.

Lag, MagLag and Stream Sediment Sampling (Other Operators) – no information is available on analytical techniques or procedures.

Soil Geochemistry (Other Operators) – historical programs have used a variety of analytical methods on samples, which are assumed to be unmodified. Analytical techniques included ICP (multi-element) and fire assay (Au only) based on either Aqua Regia (partial) or NaCN-based BLEG leach preparation techniques (total). Limited information is available on the laboratory techniques for all historical programs. The analysis of unmodified samples in the specific regolith conditions of the Project, particularly in the sand-covered areas, results in head samples of very low metal content which has sometimes been below the lower detection limits of the analytical methods employed. The variation in regolith conditions and the suitability of analytical techniques has generally produced an ‘erratic’ historical dataset which is only suitable for broad planning purposes for replacement programs.

Soil Geochemistry (Cosmo Gold & Sarama) – as part of LabWest’s Ultrafine+™ process, the final -2 micron sub-samples are subjected to a microwave-enhanced Aqua Regia digest at elevated temperature and pressure prior to multi-element analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-OES techniques to provide a suite of ~65 elemental concentrations. The nature of the full sub-sampling process is that the analysis is taken on a modified sample (only the -2 micron fraction). The Aqua Regia digest method provides varying degrees of digestion for different minerals and is considered to be a ‘partial’ method. The analytical technique is considered to be appropriate given the purpose of the geochemistry program and the Project’s regolith conditions.

RAB Drilling (Other Operators) – limited information is available on analytical procedures. Records indicate Au content was determined using the GG313 method code at Analabs (50g charge fire assay with AAS finish). Samples were also analyses for As content, however the method is unknown.

Mineral Tenement and Land Tenure Status Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The Cosmo Gold Project (the “Project”) is comprised of 7 exploration tenements for which Exploration Licences have been issued by the Government of Western Australia:

• E38/2274 – 42 blocks (approx. 117km²), initially granted 10/06/2011, current term expires 09/06/2027 (ongoing 2-year terms).
• E38/2627 – 17 blocks (approx. 51km²), initially granted 11/05/2012, current term expires 10/05/2026 (ongoing 2-year terms).

• E38/2851 – 37 blocks (approx. 112km²), initially granted 12/03/2014, current term expires 11/03/2026 (extension application pending) (ongoing 2-year terms).
• E38/3249 – 9 blocks (approx. 27km²), initially granted 18/07/2018, current term expires 17/07/2028 (2^{nd} 5-year term).
• E38/3456 – 35 blocks (approx. 106km²), initially granted 29/04/2021, current term expires 28/04/2026 (1^{st} 5-year term).
• E38/3525 – 39 blocks (approx. 118km²), initially granted 01/07/2021, current term expires 30/06/2026 (1^{st} 5-year term).

An Exploration Licence has an initial term of 5 years and, subject to the holder of the Exploration Licence satisfying certain reporting and expenditure requirements, it can be extended for a further 5 years and then periods of 2 years thereafter. A minimum of 40% of the surface area covered by the Exploration Licence must be surrendered at the end of the 1^{st} year of the second 5-year term.

All tenements are located within the Mt Margaret Mineral Field (District 38) and are approximately 80km north-east of Laverton, WA.

Pursuant to the Mining Regulations 1981 (WA), the State Government of Western Australia is entitled to an ad valorem royalty (less any allowable deductions) for metal and minerals produced from the Project. Applicable rates are 7.5% (bulk minerals), 5% (concentrates), 2.5% (metals).

On 13 August 2024, Sarama entered into an agreement with Cosmo Gold and Adelong Gold Limited (“Adelong”) which provides for Sarama to acquire an initial 80% of Cosmo’s interest in the Project, with an option for Sarama to acquire the remainder of Cosmo’s interests in the Project within a 2-year period for an exercise price of A$1.25M, payable in either cash or shares in Sarama, at Sarama’s election. Prior to the exercise of this option and/or until a ‘decision to mine’ is made in respect of the Project, Sarama shall operate and manage the Project under an unincorporated joint venture with Sarama being responsible for all costs. Following a ‘decision to mine’ and if Sarama did not elect to acquire the remainder of Cosmo’s interest within the 2-year option period, Cosmo must contribute its pro-rata share of project costs or dilute its interest. In the event a party’s interest falls below 10%, that party’s interest automatically converts to a 0.5% net smelter return on production from the Project. This transaction was completed on 6 December 2024 and as a result, Sarama, currently has an 80% beneficial interest in all the tenements comprising the Project, with the exception of E38/2274, in which it has a 60% beneficial interest, with Cosmo and a separate co-tenement holder retaining 15% and 25% interests respectively. |

The majority of the Project is located within Aboriginal Reserve #22032 which is an area proclaimed to be an Aboriginal Reserve under Part 3 of the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority Act ("AAPAA") 1972. The land is administered by the Aboriginal Lands Trust for the benefit and use of Aboriginal communities and a Mining Entry Permit to access for the purposes of conducting mineral exploration was granted by ministerial authority to Cosmo Gold in May 2021. The entry permit has no specific expiry and a process for its transfer/novation to Sarama has been commenced. All Exploration Licences comprising the Project are located within the reserve with the exception of E38/2627 (71.2% excluded), E38/3456 (95.5% excluded).
The Project is subject to two registered Native Title claims, each covering mutually exclusive areas. In September 2019, the Yilka and Yilka #2 and Sullivan Family claimants (representing as a unified body corporate, Yilka Talintji Aboriginal Corporation), were determined to hold Native Title over the following Exploration Licences: E38/2627 (28.8%), E38/2774 (100%), E38/2851 (100%), E38/3249 (100%), E38/3456 (4.5%), E38/3235 (100%) and E38/2274 (100%). In August 2018, a claim for Native Title lodged by the Waturta Native Title Claim Group was registered, affecting the following Exploration Licences: E38/2627 (71.2%) and E38/3456 (95.5%). Cosmo Gold has established land access agreements with these two Native Title groups to undertake mineral exploration whilst ensuring the preservation of Aboriginal sites of significance. These agreements include processes for land clearance by heritage surveys and feature annual land access payments which generally compensate for disturbance by exploration and related works and include schedule of rates for ad-hoc land clearance.

Exploration Done by Other Parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Historical exploration undertaken at the Project is summarised below:
• United Nickel 1970-1974 – Ni focussed exploration in central project area consisting mainly of surface prospecting and mapping.
• United Nickel 1969-1978 – Ni focussed exploration in central project area consisting mainly of surface prospecting and mapping. Grab sampling returned anomalous base metals values.
• Max Viscovich 1994 – Au focussed exploration in central project area delineated a number of +20ppb Au anomalies in gridded geochemistry, however positional accuracy is questionable and data is considered of low reliability.
• Ilara/Gondwana Resources (Magnet Group) 1994 – Au, Ag and Cu focussed exploration in central project area delineated a number of +20ppb Au anomalies (coincident with Ag anomalous) in gridded geochemistry, however positional accuracy is questionable and data is considered to be only of moderate use for further geochemistry survey planning. The operator conducted a RAB drilling program (223 holes for 3,001m) based on gold-in-soil anomalous however this drilling has been assessed to be poorly designed to test potential targets and appears to suffer from positional inaccuracy.
• Asarco/Yamarna Goldfields 1997-2001 – desktop geology and regolith interpretation using remote sensing data on a small part of the current Project’s area.
• Fargo Investments/Intercontinental Gold Investments 1993-2000 – desktop work with aerial photo and remote sensing data to produce interpretations of geology and regolith and comprehensive geological reviews.
• Ilara/Gondwana Resources 2000-2002 – review and reconnaissance fieldwork focussing on Au, Ni, Cu and Co. A small Au only grab sampling program confined to quartz vein areas in central Project returned variable Au values, ranging 0-49g/t Au. MagLag sampling conducted over the Viscovich (1994) area identified a number of +20ppb and +30ppb Au anomalies partly coinciding with old workings. Accuracy of sampling grid location is uncertain.
• Fargo Investments/ Intercontinental Gold and Mining 2000-2003 – the group advanced previous desktop studies to fieldwork and acquired remote sensing and airborne magnetic data (200m line spacing). Fieldwork included reconnaissance mapping, soil geochemistry orientation,

and sampling of stream sediments, grab material, surface lag and sub-surface soils. Stream sediment sampling returned low values, however one 17ppb Au value corresponds with a 176ppb Au soil anomaly. Rock samples returned low values and were located east of historical workings. Surface lag sampling was conducted over transported cover areas so is considered to be largely ineffective, however several anomalies were returned near old workings. Surface soil sampling (-2mm) identified 12 areas anomalous for Au in the central part of the Project with +10ppb Au being used as a contouring threshold. Some prospecting of possible pegmatite locations was undertaken, however potential was downgraded following the reconnaissance work.

3D Resources & Cosmo Gold –2007-2024 – upon unification of the Project in its current form, the group undertook substantial data compilation works while Native Title access agreements were negotiated. Several tranches of aeromagnetic interpretation and targeting were completed for the 400m and 200m datasets. Reviews of historical geochemical programs have been undertaken and generally concluded the historical work to have low confidence due to several factors. The group undertook limited reconnaissance, grab sampling and soil geochemistry orientation programs to determine suitable collection-analytical methods. Broad spaced regional soil geochemistry programs have been undertaken since securing Native Title Access in December 2020/January 2021. These programs have identified a number of emerging areas of interest throughout the Project, however greater coverage and infill is required. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralization. | The Cosmo Gold Project overlies the Cosmo Greenstone Belt, which is one of the most easterly Archaean age greenstone belts of the Yilgarn Craton in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The Cosmo Project is located ~50–95 km west of significant exploration and mining activity on adjacent greenstone belts being that are of a similar geological setting.

The Cosmo Greenstone Belt is traversed by the regional north-northwest trending Sefton Shear Zone and other major margin faults. The Sefton Shear Zone truncates the greenstone belt to the west and is interpreted to dip to the west-southwest and has an inferred strike length of over 120km. The eastern margin of the Cosmo Greenstone Belt is a fault boundary, which is probably a splay off the Sefton Shear Zone, and is also interpreted to dip to the west-southwest with a steep dip near surface and flattening off at depth.

The majority of the greenstone belt (~75%) is obscured by colluvium and sand cover which precludes detailed surface mapping. The outcropping area of the belt is restricted to an ~18km x 8km area immediately north and south of the Cosmo Newbery township. The dominant outcropping lithology is metabasalt with subordinate high-Mg basalt, metagabbro, ultramafic and felsic volcanics. The ultramafic lithologies are tremolite-chlorite, tremolite-chlorite-talc and actinolite-chlorite assemblages that likely represent thin komatiite or komatiite basalt flows. A ~4.5km long x 0.5–1.0km wide ultramafic talc chlorite schist along a portion of the western greenstone contact had been mapped. Aeromagnetic images indicate this ultramafic unit extends beneath cover to the north for an additional 13km and thickens to ~1.5km some 10km northwest of the township. Reports of laterite covered ultramafic west of the township and mapped ultramafic outcrop in the north and recently observed “calcareous and chalcedonic ultramafic cap rocks” (near the western contact of main internal granite) indicate ultramafics occur elsewhere in the project area.

At least four large internal Archaean granitoids are interpreted including a prominent 15km long x 3.5km wide north-northwest ovoid foliated porphyritic biotite monzorganite in the central area. The close spatial association of known gold occurrences on the west and north margins and extending north of this monzorganite indicates a potential mineralisation control.

Historical gold workings (shallow shafts and pits with strike lengths of <100m) occur in the area of well-exposed greenstone lithologies immediately north of the township, usually presenting as narrow mineralised shears, usually <1 - 1.5m wide and infilled with thin quartz veining, associated with mafic/felsic schist contacts. The mineralised shears are predominantly within basalt, but also within a highly silicified felsic volcanic host rock. |
| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole, collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – | In H1 1995, approximately 3,001m RAB drilling (in 223 holes to average depth 13m, median depth 9m and maximum depth of 45m) was completed at the Project. Holes were drilled at -60° inclination and seemingly at 090° MN azimuth. Collar elevation recorded as a uniform 400m (unknown datum). Overall, the data obtained by the drill program is deemed to be of low reliability with several issues present including low accuracy in drill collar co-ordinates (unknown/ambiguous grid references) and as a result, no Exploration Results are being reported for this drilling. |

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 why this is the case. A tabulation of all Material drill holes has not been provided as the drilling has been deemed to be unreliable and no associated Exploration Results are being reported.
This exclusion is not considered Material nor does it detract from the understanding of other exploration programs conducted at the Project that are being reported as Exploration Results.
Data Aggregation Methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Drilling - no Exploration Results are being reported for drilling.
Geochemical Surveys – summary statistical results are reported.
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. Drilling - no Exploration Results are being reported for drilling.
Geochemical Surveys – not applicable as no intercepts were part of the aggregation
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. Drilling - no Exploration Results are being reported for drilling.
Geochemical Surveys – no metal equivalent values are being reported.
Relationship Between Mineralization Widths and Intercept Lengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralization 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). Drilling - no Exploration Results are being reported for drilling.

| 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. | Geophysical Surveys
• regional airborne survey data acquired from government open source (magnetic, radiometric and elevation) of 400m line spacing x 60m ground clearance for the Project area – data processed and interpreted in 2015 for solid pseudo-geology and structural map and high level targeting (magnetic, structural and alteration).
• multi-client regional airborne survey data acquired from Fugro (images only for magnetic) of 200m line spacing for the Project area – data processed and interpreted in 2019 to 1:50,000 scale for magnetics only to provide updated solid geology and structural map and high level targeting (magnetics).

Remote Sensing
• a range of open source remote sensing datasets have been acquired including ASTER, DEM, LandSat, Quickbird, SPOT, Sentinel, SRTM – several of these datasets have been used to develop preliminary regolith maps for soil geochemistry planning and interpretation.

Geochemical Surveys
• various small scale geochemical surveys have been conducted over small parts of the project by other operators – in general these are considered to be of low accuracy (position) and lack confidence in sampling and analytical quality so aren’t used to a significant extent..
• recent surveys undertaken by Cosmo Gold and Sarama are more comprehensive and have adequate QAQC controls so are considered more reliable and it is appropriate to report Exploration Results from this dataset. |
