BLACK BUTTE COPPER PROJECT UPDATE

Sandfire Resources Ltd (ASX: SFR; Sandfire or the Company ) is pleased to provide exploration drilling results which have confirmed the extension of high-grade mineralisation at the Black Butte Copper Project in Montana, USA (the Project ). Sandfire’s interest in the Project is held via an 87% equity stake in TSX listed Sandfire Resources America Inc. (TSX-V: SFR), which owns 100% of Black Butte.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sandfire America has completed its 2024-2025 exploration program, with 41 drill holes and approximately 13,800 metres of drilling undertaken since our prior 19 December 2024 announcement.

  • Significant assay results (using a 1.0% Cu cut-off) have been confirmed in a further 20 holes targeting the Johnny Lee Lower Copper Zone (LCZ), including:

  • Drillhole SC24-311 with 8.11m at 4.66% Cu from 441.81m

  • Drillhole SC24-312 with 14.99m at 7.99% Cu from 425.66m

  • o Drillhole SC25-316 with 10.58m at 4.69% Cu from 480.22m o Drillhole SC25-325 with 11.73m at 8.80% Cu from 377.58m o Drillhole SC25-328 with 4.91m at 9.74% Cu from 401.79m

  • The program was designed to provide both infill drilling information and greater definition of the outer boundaries of the LCZ, with the objective of upgrading and expanding the current LCZ resource of 1.2Mt at 6.8% Cu (Measured and Indicated) and 0.5Mt at 5.9% Cu (Inferred).

Please refer to Sandfire America’s website at www.sandfireamerica.com for additional information.

Sandfire Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Brendan Harris, said:

“The latest drilling campaign at the fully permitted Black Butte Copper Project has further extended high-grade mineralisation in the Lower Copper Zone at Johnny Lee. A revised Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate for the Project, and broader technical report to a pre-feasibility study level, is expected to be completed in the December 2025 quarter, both of which will enable Sandfire to more clearly define its optimal pathway to realise value from the Project.”

BLACK BUTTE COPPER PROJECT, MONTANA, USA

The Black Butte Copper Project in Montana, USA is in the Belt-Purcell Basin (Figure 1), which also hosts the world-class Sullivan SEDEX lead-zinc deposit. Sandfire’s interest in the project is held via an 87% equity stake in Canadian listed company Sandfire Resources America Inc. (TSX-V: SFR) (Sandfire America), which in turn owns 100% of Black Butte.

Situated on private ranch land in Meagher County, the Project is ideally located near road, power, and rail infrastructure. It promises job creation and economic benefits for the local community while protecting the watershed. The planned underground mine has been designed to minimise its surface impact and environmental effects.

Johnny Lee Deposit Resource and Mine Operating Permit

The Johnny Lee Deposit has a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 10.9 million tonnes (Mt) at an average copper grade of 2.9% for 311 thousand tonnes (kt) of contained copper (Cu) at a 1.0% Cu cut-off grade, and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.7 Mt at an average copper grade of 3.0% for 80 kt of contained Cu at a 1.0% Cu cut-off grade (refer to ASX release ‘Updated Mineral Resource Completed for the Johnny Lee Deposit, Black Butte Copper Project, USA’, 30 October 2019).

The Company received a Mine Operating Permit from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for mine development and has previously completed most of Phase I construction on surface facilities. On February 26, 2024 the Company received a decision from the Montana Supreme Court to re-instate the mine operating permit and allow construction to move forward.

The Company received a decision from the Montana Supreme Court on January 2, 2025, in favour of its interpretation of Montana water law in designing its water mitigation plan for the Black Butte Copper Operation. No other legal challenges remain in effect.

Johnny Lee Deposit Geology and Mineralisation

The Black Butte Copper Project includes the Johnny Lee and Lowry Deposits, about 2km apart. The deposits blend features of SEDEX and sediment-hosted strata-bound copper types. The Johnny Lee Deposit has two lenses: the Upper Copper Zone (UCZ) and the Lower Copper Zone (LCZ), extending at least 1km along strike and up to 300m down dip. The recent drilling program tested potential lateral extensions.

Ongoing activities

Sandfire America has completed the recent drilling program at the Johnny Lee Deposit. The results of this program will be incorporated into an updated technical report, including an updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate and an update of the capital and operating cost estimates.

APPENDIX 1: JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1

Black Butte Copper Project

JORC Code Assessment Criteria Comment Section 1 Sampling Techniques and DataSampling techniques

  • Sampling boundaries of diamond drill core (DD) are geologically defined, and sampling intervals are commonly one metre in length unless a significant geological feature warrants a change from this standard unit. The minimum sample length of drill core is 0.3m and the maximum length is 1.5m.

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 downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

  • Sampling of DD core is completed using Sandfire sampling protocols and QA/QC procedures as per industry standard. The quality assurance program includes regular addition of quality control samples such as blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

  • The determination of mineralisation is based on observed sulphides and lithological differences. DD core samples were taken from PQ and HQ core and cut longitudinally in half using a diamond drill core saw.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘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 mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

mountainous but variations in topography within the project are not
significant. The topographic control is considered fit for purpose.
Data spacing and distribution
Drill holes at the Johnny Lower and Upper Copper Zones are
spaced on a nominal 50mE x 50mN grid spacing. Drill spacing to-
date at Lowry are wider, currently within 110m. Any future drilling
will likely be at a nominal 50mE x 50mN grid spacing.

In the Johnny Lee Lower and Upper Copper Zones, Cu
mineralisation is generally consistent in grade and thickness.
However, at the lens edges, occasionally sudden changes in
thickness are observed. To delineate Cu mineralisation in these
specific areas more accurately, thorough examination and additional
infill drilling have been carried out.

Geology
The Black Butte deposits feature large pyrite-rich sulphide lenses
that occur within marine sediments deposited in a continental rift, a
host lithofacies, and palaeo-tectonic setting consistent with that of a
Sedex deposits. Whereas Sedex deposits are commonly Pb- and
Zn- rich and form on or near the seafloor the Johnny Lee Deposit is
enriched in Cu-Co-Ag and lacks significant Pb-Zn mineralisation.
Textural evidence indicates that some Cu sulphides at Johnny Lee
formed synchronous with primitive, early pyrite but that the majority
of Cu-Co-Ag sulphide mineralisation occurred by replacement of
early pyrite and that mineralisation/remobilisation continued post-
burial and lithification.

The Johnny Lee Deposit shares some features with a sub-class of
Sediment-Hosted Stratabound Copper (SSC) deposits known as
Reduced-facies SSC deposits. These deposits are characterised by
Cu-Co-(Ag) mineralisation hosted by reduced, organic- and pyrite-
bearing shale, silt and carbonaceous dolomitic siltstone. SSC
deposits are epigenetic, and mineralisation is typically found as pore
fillings or replacement of existing minerals. Mineralisation in typical
SSC deposits generally shows a zonation from relatively Cu-rich at
the base (native copper, chalcocite, digenite) to more iron-rich at the
top (i.e. chalcopyrite). Chalcocite-bornite-chalcopyrite zonation is
evident locally in the Johnny Lee Deposit Upper Copper Zone and
the association of Cu sulphide mineralisation with post-lithification
veins and hydraulic brecciation supports a partially epigenetic
origin. The Johnny Lee is considered a hybrid deposit exhibiting
attributes of a sedimentary exhalative sulphide deposit (SEDEX)
and a sediment hosted stratabound copper deposit (SSC).

  • Easting and northing of the drill hole collar

  • Elevation or rl (reduced level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar

  • Dip and azimuth of the hole

  • Downhole length and interception depth

  • Information relating to the collar parameters of the drill holes described in this announcement are listed in Table 3 and Appendix 2 of the announcement.

  • A summary of all material information and the results of the completed holes described in this announcement are included in this announcement.

  • 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 why this is the case.

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.

  • Significant copper intersections are compiled by Sandfire when assay results are received from the laboratory using a weighted average to account for varying sample lengths. The intersections reported from the Lower Copper Zone were calculated using a cutoff of 1.00% Cu with 3m of consecutive downhole dilution allowed and a minimum interval length of 2m.

  • The stratabound and vein-hosted style of Cu mineralisation intersected in drill holes reported in this announcement, commonly include varying thicknesses of the Lower Copper Zone with a cutoff grade of 1%. This includes both high-grade vein hosted mineralisation and surrounding low-grade disseminated sulphide mineralisation.

  • No high-grade cut is applied.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
All intersections are reported as down-hole widths.

The drill holes are interpreted to be approximately perpendicular to
the strike and dip of mineralisation.

True thickness is estimated to be >80% of downhole thickness
reported.
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 downhole lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘downhole length, true width not known’).
Diagrams
Relevant maps and diagrams are included in the body of the report.
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.

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 reporting of Exploration Results.
