Exploration Activities
Yidby Gold Project
The Yidby Gold Project is a key focus and core exploration asset for the Company. During the quarter, Surefire continued geological interpretation and target refinement following earlier drilling programs which continued to intersect broad zones of gold mineralisation.
Activities completed during the quarter included:
-
Integration of historical and recent drilling data with updated geological and structural interpretations;
-
Refinement of multiple gold targets associated with interpreted regional and local structural controls; and
-
Planning for follow-up drilling to test extensions of known mineralisation and priority targets that remain open along strike and at depth

ASX Announcement ASX: SRN - FSE: GBL
During the quarter the Company received final assay results for 1m intervals from the reverse circulation drilling programme completed in September 2025. These results produced high grade gold intercepts of 1m @ 15.83 g/t Au (YBRC136) confirming Yidby as a significant gold system (see ASX Announcement 18 December 2025).
In addition, the broadest zone of gold mineralisation in the Yidby gold system to date was intersected in RC Hole YBRC136 with a total mineralisation envelope of 108 m @ 0.61 g/t Au from 71m, containing high-grade zones of:
YBRC 136 35m @ 1.35 g/t Au from 71m Including: 1m @ 15.83 g/t Au from 80m Including: 2m @ 10.72 g/t Au from 100m 6m @ 4.29 g/t Au from 177m Including: 2m @ 12.54 g/t Au from 177m
The Company considers Yidby to be emerging as a large, structurally controlled gold system, with exploration work continuing to focus on delineating scale and continuity.
The Project is situated on the southern end of the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone Belt (YSGB) in the Murchison Domain within the western part of the mid to late-Archaean Youanmi Terrane. The YalgooSingleton Greenstone Belt (YSGB) is host to significant gold, base-metal, and iron mineralisation.
The belt is 190km in length, striking north-north-west and bound by multiple generations of granitoid intrusions. The YSGB hosts many major gold deposits, Minjar Gold Project, the world class Golden Grove/Scuddles/Gossan Hill VHMS and the Mount Gibson Gold Project (Figure 2).
The majority of drill holes across Yidby have intersected gold mineralisation at each of the 8 prospects that form the Yidby Gold Project (see Figure 3) indicating that the mineralising system is substantial and continues along strike and at depth.

Importantly, the mineralisation at Yidby is now noted to be plunging to the north-west with higher grades being intersected at deeper levels, e.g., YBRC136 2m @ 12.54 g/t from 177m, indicating the mineralisation remains open down plunge which has provided new target areas for the next drill programme planned for Q1 2026 (see ASX Announcement 18 December 2025).
Copper Hill Project
Exploration at the Copper Hill project , continued during the quarter with a focus on geophysical interpretation and target refinement .
Work completed included:
-
Interpretation of Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey results;
-
Integration of EM responses with surface geochemistry and geological mapping; and
-
Identification of conductive features coincident with copper anomalism that represent priority drill targets.
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.

Figure 6 : Yidby Gold Project - Long Section
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 Target
In the September 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.
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 during Q1 2026.
Kadji Gold Project
At the Kadji Gold Project, the Company continued desktop evaluation and target generation activities during the quarter. This work focused on reassessment of historical drilling, surface geochemistry and geophysical data.
Outcomes from this work included:
-
Identification of multiple gold anomalous zones that have received limited or no modern exploration;
-
Recognition of structural trends considered prospective for gold mineralisation; and
-
Prioritisation of targets for future field reconnaissance, geochemical sampling and drilling.

Figure7: Location map of Kadji Gold Project
The Kadji Gold Project comprises a large tenement package covering favourable geological formations of banded iron formations and mafic/ultra-mafic greenstone which form part of the Koolanooka Greenstone belt, Figure 1.
The area contains a significant Magnetite deposit (Perenjori Magnetite project) which the company is progressing separately. The remainder of the project area remains very underexplored by modern exploration methods, due mainly to limited outcrop and large-scale farming, despite significant gold mineralisation having been located by previous explorers. These include results from rock chip, channel sampling and RC drilling, and a number of significant soil anomalies of coincident gold, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) pathfinder elements all of which remain untested (figures 8 and 9).
Regional Interest
The company’s tenements are surrounded by other exploration groups including Chalice Mining Ltd (ASX:CHN) to the West and North, who note the area contains new and extensive areas of interpreted greenstone belt geology transected by regional scale structures considered prospective for orogenic gold deposits similar to Boddington (30Moz Au and 1.3 Mt Cu).
Heavy Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:HRE) on the eastern side of Kadji Tenements are exploring for calcrete-type uranium and heavy rare earths (HREE)-enriched ion adsorption clay deposits. The area ranked very highly in an HRE internal study targeting these styles of mineralisation associated with Western Australia’s paleochannels .

Critical Minerals Projects
Victory Bore Vanadium–Titanium–Iron Project
The Victory Bore Project is the Company’s largest and most advanced project comprising a worldscale 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 (see Figure 1).
The Victory Bore Project remains a strategically important asset for Surefire, given its scale and exposure to critical minerals that are required for steelmaking, battery and emerging clean energy applications. Metallurgical test work, which has demonstrated the ability to produce high-grade magnetite concentrates with favourable key element grades and impurity levels;
During the December quarter, the Company:
-
Continued technical review of metallurgical test work, which has demonstrated the ability to produce high-grade magnetite concentrates with favourable key element grades and impurity levels;
-
Progressed Mining Licence application (Figure 10).
-
Assessed downstream processing and product pathways, including value-added concentrate and vanadium recovery options; and
-
Maintained engagement with potential strategic, offtake and development partners, both domestic and international.
-
Continued to evaluate development pathways that could maximise value while minimising capital intensity and execution risk.
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.
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.
Magnetite Concentrate
Laboratory assays of the magnetic concentrate from Victory Bore have shown an exceptionally clean concentrate comprising high grades of iron at 61.68% Fe, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) at 1.489%, and titanium dioxide (TiO2) 9.921% as shown in table 2 below:
| PRODUCT | Fe | V2O5 | TiO2 | SiO2 | Al2O3 | CaO | MgO | **K2O ** | **Na2O ** |

Figure 10: Victory Bore location map over magnetics.
The vanadium grade in the magnetic and non-magnetic fractions shows 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 without loss in the non-magnetic fraction as with most other deposits.
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.
Offtake
During the quarter the Company continued discussion with entities in relation to offtake of products.
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 offshore to a low power cost jurisdiction 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 various entities for this processing facility.
