Key Points of Yidby Project:
-
INFRASTRUCTURE - CLOSE TO PERTH (400km)
-
LARGE HOLDING, 43 GRATICULAR BLOCKS (13.3 km[2] )
-
5 PROSPECTS WITH WIDE GOLD MINERALISED INTERSECTIONS FROM DRILLING
-
METALLURGICAL TESTS INDICATE EXCELLENT GOLD RECOVERIES FROM SIMPLE CRUSHING AND HEAP/VAT LEACHING.
-
POTENTIAL FOR A LARGER PORPHYRY GOLD SYSTEM AT DEPTH.
The Yidby tenements comprise a contiguous package of the Ninghan Fold Belt, within the highly mineralised Yilgarn Craton. They cover tightly folded, north-northwest striking, metamorphosed Archaean basalts and komatiites (Singleton Formation) and a large ultramafic igneous intrusive (Warriedar Suite) surrounded by Yilgarn Craton granites. Modelling of utilising BoxScan processing of drill chip data, has confirmed the presence of a sequence of tightly folded stratigraphy, regional and local shear zones with quartz feldspar porphyry (QFP) recognised as key controls on mineralisation in the Yidby area.
8 gold prospects and a number of targets that remain underexplored within the tenement package.

Drill Programme
During the quarter the Company completed a Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme aimed at testing news targets and infill drilling on the extensive Yidby gold mineralisation.
A total of 31 RC holes were drilled for 3972m. Significantly, most holes intersected gold mineralisation at each prospect with mineralised widths extending up to 100m with grades up to 4.5g/t Au. Significant results include:
-
YBRC136 108m @ 0.62g/t Au from 72m Incl: 4m @ 2.13g/t Au from 83m 4m @ 3.93g/t Au from 103m 4m @ 1.30g/t Au from 115m 4m @ 0.99g/t Au from 147m 4m @ 4.57g/t Au from 179m
-
YBRC137 12m @ 1.01g/t Au from 164m Incl: 4m @ 1.62g/t Au from 167m
-
YBRC140 32m @ 1.09g/t Au from 148m Incl: 4m @ 2.83g/t Au from 148m 4m @ 1.07g/t Au from 156m 4m @ 1.31g/t Au from 168m 4m @ 1.75g/t Au from 172m
-
YBRC120 12m @ 0.53g/t Au from 24m Incl: 4m @ 1.13g/t Au from 32m
Mineralisation controls
Deformed (sheared and folded) lithologies with (QFP) occurs throughout the area as a continuous and lensoidal lithology, up to 800m in strike, and open for extension at both ends. This lithology commonly contains the gold mineralisation and is associated with folded structures and fractures.
The latest drilling confirms this model and demonstrates that repeated zones could occur within the fold and faulted targets, along strike and at depth. Significantly most drilling to date at Yidby averages only 100m vertical so there is considerable scope for further mineralisation at depth.
The current interpretation of the gold zones at Yidby is presented in Figure 2-4 reinforcing Yidby as an extensive gold system.

Additional Gold Prospects at Yidby
The Yidby tenements host a number of gold prospects and targets some of which remain to be fully tested as most previous work by Surefire has focussed on the Yidby prospect; (see Figure 2).
Fender Prospect
The Fender prospect features wide continuous gold mineralisation associated with arsenopyrite on the chilled margin of multiple, wide, north – south striking subvertical quartzose feldspathic porphyry intrusives.
Gold mineralisation at Fender is open at depth and to the north. Additional drilling is planned to the north where targeting has identified a likely extension.
Fender consists of a thick intercept of mineralisation associated with a possible porphyry intrusive, YBRC069 20m@ 0.4g/t Au and 32m@ 0.32 g/t Au (refer ASX announcement 3 August 2022). A fold closure over a gravity low coincident with a magnetic low defines this target.
Marshal Prospect
The Marshall Prospect lies approximately 150m to the west of the Yidby deposit. The gold mineralisation is hosted within a foliated to schistose mafic to ultra-mafic featuring localised quartz felsic porphyries and quartz lodes.
Discovery hole YBRC059 intersected a wide gold mineralised zone, 60m @1.04g/t Au, including 4m @10.40g/t within a quartz lode (refer ASX announcement 4 August 2022).
Cashen’s Find
Historic workings located 2km to the North of Yidby. The main part of the workings host gold mineralised veins and shears located adjacent to a felsic porphyry. Drilling by Surefire has identified over 100 m of strike, open to the south and at depth, with the best drill hole intersection in hole CHRC001, 8m @ 2.0 g/t Au from 19 m depth. To be followed up.
Page | 5
ASX Announcement ASX: SRN - FSE: GBL
Delaney Well
NS trending 200 m long, many holes provide wide gold bearing drill intercepts, near surface. located in the northern boundary of E57/2426, and is comprised of a cluster of historic stopes, shafts, and costeans. Drilling by Surefire recorded a high grade intersect of 2m @ 17.7 g/t Au . To be followed up.
GK (Gallien-Kruger)
Reinterpretation of IP geophysical data indicates a strong sulphide bearing structure increasing in size with depth, located 350 m NE of the Yidby prospect. It occurs parallel to the Fender prospect and is concealed by overburden. Not yet drill tested .
MB (Mesa Boogie)
Not yet followed up.
Money Anomaly
An extension to the Yidby gold mineralisation is postulated to the southeast where ground geochemistry had identified this area in the past[1] (Figure 6).
Recent reinterpretation, using a Company developed novel magnetic and gravity interpretation methodology, has highlighted an area with a flexure along a magnetic break and recognised as a potential dilation zone. This zone is coincident with anomalous gold soil geochemistry and a priority drill target. Drilling at this prospect during the quarter had to be abandoned due to access issues, so this target remains untested.

ASX Announcement ASX: SRN - FSE: GBL
Structural Interpretation
The gold mineralisation at Yidby has the following significant features:
-
Located within a folded greenstone sequence within granite basement, adjacent to a regional shear zone – a feature analogous to most Yilgarn gold deposit settings.
-
The shear zone is extensive and part of the major Mt Gibson to Mt Magnet shear zone.
-
The folding is apparent in detailed Airborne magnetics showing broad and tight fold closures, with a high degree of fracturing, faulting and mafic intrusions.
-
Gold mineralisation appears associated with demagnetised areas in fold limbs and fold axes, adjacent to the main shear zone.
The coincidence of gold on fold limbs and axes within demagnetised zones adjacent to a major shearing indicates the potential for repeating zones of mineralisation.
Gold grades
The Company has recognised from its drilling that the Gold system at Yidby contains both coarse and fine gold. Assays from the 4m composite samples as a result may not be representative. Therefore, the 1m samples were subsequently submitted for further assay to determine the actual gold content. Results are awaited. The 4m Composite sample assay results have reinforced that the Yidby Gold system has widespread coarse “nuggety” gold within a broad finer gold system across the project area. This has also been detected previously in selective metallurgical work and previous composite sample results (refer ASX Announcement 18 March 2024).
Table 2 below shows the comparison of laboratory selected random repeat analyses and a duplicate sample from some of the 4m Composite samples. The results show a striking difference in assays from the sub-sampling and indicate significant widespread variability in the Composite sample assays which in some cases shows underreporting of gold grades .

Other Mineral Prospects
The Yidby Project tenements contain prospects for Iron and Copper (Figure 2).
Iron Prospect
The Woolshed project located 3 km to the South of the Yidby mineralisation. It consists of a large, exposed BIF with high grade Iron up to 61%. Significant intersections up to 100m were noted in previous exploration. No work has been conducted by Surefire on this project’s resource potential.
Copper Hill Prospect
The Copper Hill prospect consists of an extensive contiguous zone of anomalous copper and zinc values in soil with up to 310 ppm Copper; 100 ppm Zinc, 100 ppm Cobalt, 452 ppm Sulphur, (refer ASX announcement 17 September 2024). The anomalous zones are large ranging from approximately 500m x 400m up to 1km x 500m in size and are contiguous across sample lines.
Previous geochemical sampling and scout drilling carried out by Surefire have confirmed the presence of copper sulphide mineralisation in a VMS setting (see ASX announcements 23 January 2025 and 17 September 2024), further supported by a petrographic study of rock chips which identified blebby chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂), anomalous copper, zinc, niobium, cadmium, antimony, and molybdenum with VMS affinities (see ASX announcement 26 February 2025).
Geophysical Survey
During the Quarter the Company completed a moving-loop time-domain electromagnetic (MLEM} survey and Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) survey designed to detect electrically conductive mineralisation in the sub-surface.
The program was designed and carried out by Southern Geoscience consultants to delineate and prioritise conductive anomalies that may be associated with copper sulphide mineralisation (Figure 7 and 8). The survey team was using state of the art high-sensitivity equipment capable of detecting deep and weakly conductive targets, (refer ASX Announcement 24 June 2025).
A broad conductor with a double peake was observed on survey line 530050mE in the late time channels. This feature has been modelled as a steeply dipping, NE striking conductor plate. This is thought to be significant as it occurs in the area where the native copper was intersected in historic drilling and a NE orientation fits the known structural controls in the area.
The Company plans to drill this conductor will be drilled during the next drilling programme.

VICTORY BORE PROJECT
The Victory Bore Project is the Company’s largest and most advanced project comprising a world-scale critical and battery minerals deposit containing a significant resource of vanadium, titanium and Iron.
The project is located in the resource rich Mid-West of Western Australia approximately 530km north of Perth. The project is located close to existing infrastructure with power and road links. The Company completed a Pre-Feasibility Study on the project in December 2023 (see ASX announcement 5 December 2023) and is pursuing a strategic investor strategy to complete the next phase of studies, design and construction.

Magnetite Concentrate
Assay of the magnetic concentrate from Victory Bore have shown an exceptionally clean concentrate with high grade iron at 61.68% Fe, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) at 1.489%, and titanium dioxide (TiO2) 9.921% as shown in table 4 below:
| PRODUCT | Fe | V2O5 | TiO2 | SiO2 | Al2O3 | CaO | MgO | **K2O ** | **Na2O ** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fraction | % | % | % | % | % | % | % | % | % |
| Magnetics Non- Magnetics |
61.68 | 1.489 | 9.921 | 1.33 | 1.40 | 0.24 | 0.44 | 0.003 | 0.04 |
| 22.45 | 0.176 | 18.525 | 24.30 | 12.25 | 5.15 | 5.21 | 0.071 | 1.02 |
Table 4: Assay results for Victory Bore magnetic and non-magnetic concentrate.
The vanadium grade in the magnetic and non-magnetic fraction significantly show that most of the vanadium is recovered in the magnetic fraction. This is important for the downstream processing indicating that high recoveries from the magnetite concentrate can be achieved.
Iron grades averaged 61.68% Fe, an improvement of 15% from the 53.66% Fe used in the PFS.
Titanium Dioxide
The non-magnetic fraction showed a substantial increase in titanium dioxide (TiO2) content to 18.5%. This has the potential to be further refined to produce a high-grade titanium concentrate suitable for titanium pigment and metal production plants and supports the company’s plans to produce a titanium feedstock.
The assay results have also shown significantly low levels of deleterious elements which indicates that the Victory Bore concentrate is very clean which will allow high purity products to be produced.
The combination of these key elements places the Victory Bore project as a world class high-quality and high-grade critical and strategic minerals resource.
Offtake
During the quarter the Company continued discussion with HMS and other entities in relation to offtake of products.
Mineral Resources
The project contains one of the largest vanadium, titanium and Iron resources in Australia with a JORC 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 ASX Announcement 5 December 2023), and appendix A.
Development
The Company’s plan is to develop a mining and beneficiation operation at the Victory Bore deposit site to produce a high-quality magnetite concentrate.
The magnetite concentrate will then be transported to the port of Geraldton and on-shipped to Port Daaman in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), where a downstream processing facility will be established to produce high purity products of Vanadium Pentoxide, Ferrovanadium, vanadium electrolyte, Pig-Iron, Iron oxide and Titanium products.
The Company is progressing discussions with Saudi entities for this processing facility.
