31 July 2023 ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING 31 MARCH 2024

Figure 1: Surefire Resources Project Location Map

Surefire Resources NL (Surefire, or the Company) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ending 31 March 2024.

VICTORY BORE PROJECT: E57/1068 and MLA 57/656

The Victory Bore Project is in the resource rich Mid-West of Western Australia approximately 530km north of Perth (refer Figure 1 above and Figure 2 below). The project comprises Critical Minerals of Vanadium, Titanium and High Purity Alumina along with Iron products.

The project is one of the largest vanadium resources in Australia with a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 464Mt @ 0.3% V2O5, 5.12% TiO2, 17.7% Fe, and an Ore Reserve of 93Mt@ 0.35% V2O5, 5.2% TiO2, 19.8% Fe (see Tables 1 and 2 below and ASX announcement 5 December 2023).

Total 0.15 140.7 464.6 0.30 5.12 17.70 16.4 36.2

The estimated ore reserves and/or mineral resources underpinning the production target have been prepared by a competent person in accordance with the requirements in the JORC Code.

Only Measured and Indicated Resources are used in this PFS. The Inferred Resources do not form part of this PFS and are not used to underpin the proposed production schedule.

The Company confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.

The Company's approach is to produce a range of products using industry standard processing to maximise value, allowing for a reliable and demonstrable low-risk business. The plan is to have a mining and beneficiation operation at the Victory Bore mine site with downstream processing to be conducted in Saudi Arabia (see ASX announcement 5 December 2023).

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The Company's engagement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as a low power and fuel cost jurisdiction, allows the project significant advantages of reduced operating costs, and producing final products for nearby markets. The KSA has a significant steel sector with demand for vanadium products, including ferrovanadium and vanadium electrolyte for Vanadium Redox Batteries.

Memoranda of Understanding

Ajlan & Bros. Mining and Metals

During the quarter the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ajlan & Bros. Mining and Metals (Ajlan) (see ASX announcement 15 January 2024).

Ajlan is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ajlan & Bros Holding (AB Holding), a highly respected prestigious Company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) with leading mining, processing, manufacturing, and development capabilities in KSA and internationally. AB Holding was established to invest in a diversified portfolio of projects across Saudi Arabia's key economic growth sectors as part of the Kingdom's VISION 2030.

The signing of the MOU with Ajlan is part of the Company's business development plan to have a Saudi partner to jointly progress a feasible development pathway for the project, and to take advantage of the incentives available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for resource projects.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a low power and utilities cost jurisdiction providing the Company with significant operating cost advantages and has significant funding incentives available of up to 75% of capital expenditure for mineral processing projects.

The MOU considers:

  • the establishment of a joint venture between the parties for the development of the Project in Australia and mineral processing in Saudi Arabia of magnetite concentrate from the Project; and
  • an investment into the Project by Ajlan.

RASI Investment Company

During the quarter, Surefire also entered into a MOU with RASI Investment Company (RASI) (see ASX announcement 5 March 2024).

RASI is based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and invests in companies that have effective projects with high revenue. They have established a new fund specifically for investing in overseas projects and currently invest in the Mining and Mining trading, manufacturing, and laboratory areas, which are all key economic growth sectors in the Kingdom's VISION 2030 as they transition away from dependence on oil and gas.

The MOU allows:

  • RASI to consider an investment into the Victory Bore project to become a major stake holder;
  • the parties to explore joint-participation or co-developer structure to assist in the development of the downstream processing facilities in addition to the joint venture discussions already occurring with Ajlan; and
  • the parties to discuss terms for Offtake agreements for any of the intended products. RASI already produces Titanium slag and Iron ingots.

Feasibility Study

The company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in December 2023 which produced robust financial results (see Table 4 and ASX announcement 5 December 2023).

Project Parameter Unit Amount
Pre-tax NPV at a 10% discount rate USD $M $1,110
Pre-tax Internal Rate of Return % 42.22%
Capital Cost USD $M $498
Life of Mine Years 24
Pre-tax payback Years 2.4

Table 4: PFS financial result summary.

During the quarter, Surefire received quotes for completion of the next stage Definitive Feasibility Study and these are being assessed in conjunction with other work streams on the project.

Vanadium Extraction by Leach

In May 2023 the Company appointed METS Engineering (METS) to undertake an assessment of potential for recovery of a high purity vanadium oxide in liquid form, from which a clean high purity vanadium electrolyte could be produced for use in the emerging vanadium battery sector in Australasia, (see ASX announcement 1 May 2023).

During the quarter the Company announced test work results achieving a remarkable extraction for Vanadium of 91% after a 96-hour leach directly from magnetite concentrate, (see ASX announcement 24 January 2024).

Test work was carried out on pre-treated magnetite concentrate (PTMC). The total process is a combination of the proprietary PTMC, leachant and novel conditions.

Follow up test work conducted on the same sample material, improved the recovery of vanadium in a shortened leach time on pre-treated magnetite concentrate (PTMC).

This follow up test result is shown in Figure 3, achieving 97% recovery of vanadium after 24 hours, a much-improved recovery time.

This result was achieved by further optimising the pre-leach and leach conditions, which are part of the proprietary nature of the process. No heat treatment or roasting of the concentrate has been applied or was required.

Although titanium recovery was lower than the 88% achieved originally, further leaching time achieved 98% recovery of titanium.

Figure 3: Vanadium and titanium extraction from Magnetite concentrate over leachate time.

While additional test work will be required in the next stages, leading to pilot plant testing, the Company will assess the benefits in using this process for the downstream process flow sheet, with possible reductions in capital and operating costs, and also assess the potential to licence the process for use on other vanadium resources.

High Purity Alumina (HPA)

Surefire initiated a study on the potential for production of High Purity Alumina from the host rock at the Victory Bore Vanadium project which contains elevated Al203 in Feldspars.

Initial test results produced 4N (99.99%) HPA (refer ASX announcement 25 July 2023). Further testing will be aimed at increasing the recovery of Al203 from the host rock.

Given the focus on the Vanadium for this project, further HPA testwork is likely to be limited but remains a potentially valuable additional commodity.

Offtake Discussions

The Company continues to progress discussions with interested parties and will provide an update when any agreements are reached.

Environmental

The Company has engaged UMWELT environmental and social consultants to provide a pathway for approvals leading to a Mining Proposal for the project.

YIDBY GOLD PROJECT : E59/2845, E59/2444, E59/2390, E59/2426

Figure 4: Yidby Gold Project location.

The Yidby Gold Project is a large gold system located in the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone Belt in the Murchison Province of the Yilgarn Craton which hosts multi-million-ounce Gold deposits(see Figure 4) Despite this, and the proximity to other gold deposits, the Yidby mineralisation was not found by other explorers because it occurs under transported cover.

The project contains significant mineralised zones up to 80m wide and currently extends over a 3km strike length, open along strike and at depth.

Following a review of all information, the Company considers there is potential for a larger gold system at depth, with scope for potentially more intensely developed high grade zones within the overall shear – porphyry system.

Metallurgical Test Work

During the quarter Surefire finalised the column leach test work. This was completed on mineralised drill core (see ASX announcement 18 March 2024).

Results

Th metallurgical test work results provided important conclusions:

    1. A 66.3% gold recovery on a very coarse crush size of 100% passing 6.3mm over the 69-day programme with gold extraction continuing;
  • 2. A 68% increase in gold content compared to the original ¼ core assay result. This confirms previous result implications that the drilling results are significantly underestimating the quantity of gold hosted within because of the presence of coarse gold.

The Company is evaluating the next steps and programme to advance this project.

PERENJORI HIGH GRADE MAGNETITE PROJECT:

Figure 5 : Location of Perenjori Project.

The Perenjori Magnetite project is in the infrastructure-rich Mid-West mining district of Western Australia. The Company holds a number of licences in the area (E70/5575, E59/2446, E70/5572, E70/6402). The magnetite project is located on E70/5311.

The project is well positioned to deliver high-grade iron concentrates into next-generation zerocarbon steel plants. The project is significantly closer to the coast than other Western Australian magnetite projects, with a rail distance to the port of Geraldton of 219km.

Environmental Survey and Permitting

A comprehensive flora and fauna survey was completed last quarter which identified some Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC).

The Company has engaged Aurora Environmental as consultants to assess the recent environmental survey results and aid with development of pathway options which include an offset strategy in line with the State government guidelines.

KOOLINE SIVER-LEAD PROJECT : E08/2373

Figure 6 : Location of Kooline Project.

The Kooline Base Metals Project in the Ashburton region of Western Australia covers prospective lead-silver and copper mineralisation. Sampling results confirmed the high-grade tenor of the lead (14% - 16.2%) and silver (up to 55g/t) mineralisation, (see ASX release 14 September 2022).

Figure 7: AEM slice over the Kooline silver-lead field showing historic mines and mineralised trends.

In addition, there are 3 strong VTEM targets that require follow up sampling as shown on Figure 7 below.

The targets are as follows:

    1. The Mt Conspicuous AEM target. At over 600m in strike length the VTEM anomaly lies within a structural corridor that contains the historic Mt Conspicuous Mine. The VTEM anomaly comes to the surface and dips at an expected -60 degrees to the south-east and appears to be lying within bedding of the perlites.
    1. The Fine Cotton, Northerly & Phar Lap anomaly. A large anomaly of 2km strike.
    1. Target 3. A 3km strike length subsurface VTEM anomaly that comes to the surface in the northern portion of tenement E08/2373.

Figure 8: Depth slice of the VTEM CDI inversion model 13m beneath the surface.

The company is evaluating the next steps.

Mt FARMER : E59/2843

The Mt Farmer exploration licence covers an area considered prospective for rare-earth elements.

A limited field programme of rock chip and soil samples will be carried out next quarter.

Figure 9: Mt Farmer Project location map.

CORPORATE

Mutual Holdings

The Company reached agreement with Mutual Holdings (MH) in relation to possible issues of equity securities in respect of mineral resource announcements (see ASX announcement 18 March 2024).

These remain subject to and conditional on approval by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and/or the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as applicable). The Company would call a general meeting of shareholders (General Meeting) to seek the necessary approvals.

MH has further agreed that it will not make any demand for payment of the Triggered Payments and any accrued interest, which would have the effect of placing Surefire into a financial position of not being able to pay its debts as and when they fell due, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the Deed of Amendment.

International Partnerships in Critical Minerals Program

The Company lodged an application under the International Partners International Partnerships in Critical Minerals Program for the Victory Bore project. The grant application deadline was 13 March and assessment will take 6 weeks. The amount sought under the grant is $14,437,500 and would cover all Feasibility and Research &Development cost estimates for the project.

Cash Position

The Company's cash position at 31 March 2024 was $1.851M.
