IN-FILL DRILLING AT THE MANDILLA THEIA STAGE 1 OPEN PIT
CONTINUES TO DELIVER HIGH-GRADE RESULTS IN SUPPORT
OF THE DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY
HIGHLIGHTS
Mandilla Gold Project
• Assay results received for the most recent 65 holes (6,876m) of the ongoing 12.5m x 12.5m in-
fill Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at Theia.
• Multiple high-grade intercepts demonstrate the potential to deliver significant gold from the
Stage 1 open pit at Astral’s 100%-owned Mandilla Gold Project near Kalgoorlie.
• Latest in-fill assay results returned a weighted average grade of 1.51g/t Au which validate
both the geological and Mineral Resource models for Theia and highlight significant zones of
high-grade mineralisation available for early mining within a Stage 1 open pit.
• The in-fill program is a key task in the ongoing Mandilla development, supporting the conversion
of the entire Theia Stage 1 open pit into the higher-confidence Measured Mineral Resource
category and providing higher confidence in the Mineral Resource to be mined in the first two
years of the mine plan.
• Best results include:
• 15m at 7.54g/t Au from 95m (AMRC501)
• 4m at 18.4g/t Au from 110m (AMRC507)
• 4m at 11.3g/t Au from 112m (AMRC459)

• 11m at 2.93g/t Au from 106m (AMRC497)
• The Theia Stage 1 RC in-fill program is continuing, with 303 holes for 30,973 metres now
completed and a further 129 holes for approximately 12,616 metres planned.
Astral Resources’ Managing Director Marc Ducler said:
“The PFS Stage 1 open pit at Theia has a production target of 4.2Mt at 1.1g/t Au over the first 21
months of operation. This ongoing program of in-fill drilling will support the conversion of the entire
Stage 1 pit into the higher-confidence Measured Resource category.
“The in-fill program has been a highly successful exercise, with this latest batch of results returning a
weighted average grade of 1.51g/t Au, well above the production target grade.
“We continue to see substantial widths of mineralisation together with discrete high-grade zones, with
standout results including 15m at 7.54g/t Au, 4m at 18.4g/t Au, 4m at 11.3g/t Au and 13m at 3.22g/t
Au in addition to numerous other significant intercepts.
“The Stage 1 in-fill program has now completed 303 holes for 30,973 metres, with a further 129 holes
for 12,616 metres planned.”
Astral Resources NL (ASX: AAR) (Astral or the Company) is pleased to report assay results for the
next 65 holes (6,876m) of an ongoing Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the cornerstone
Theia Deposit, part of the 100%-owned Mandilla Gold Project (Mandilla), 70km south of Kalgoorlie in
Western Australia (Figure 1).
The program is designed to support the conversion of Stage 1 Mineral Resources to the Measured
category, increasing confidence in the early mine plan and providing a key de-risking milestone for the
Mandilla Gold Project Definitive Feasibility Study and project financing. Results received to date
continue to validate both the geological interpretation and the existing Mineral Resource model.

The weighted average grade of all the Stage 1 in-fill intercepts reported in this announcement is 1.51g/t
Au, which is well above the production target grade for the Stage 1 pit of 1.1g/t Au.
This is consistent with previous in-fill program results which have averaged 1.93g/t Au (ASX
Announcement 2 December 2025), 1.41g/t Au (ASX Announcement 9 July 2026), 1.24g/t Au (ASX
Announcement 23 July 2026) and 1.54g/t Au (ASX Announcement 8 September 2026).
Mineralisation encountered to date remains consistent with the established Theia geological model,
with gold hosted within broad, continuous corridors of shallow south-west dipping quartz-sulphide
veining developed within the host monzonite.
CURRENT AND FUTURE EXPLORATION WORK PROGRAMS
Exploration is ongoing at Theia with two drill rigs currently operating.
The in-fill RC drilling program at the proposed Stage 1 open pit is ongoing, with 303 holes for 30,973
metres completed of the 431-hole (44,400m) program.
The Theia Deeps diamond drilling program is also ongoing, with 19 holes of the expanded 21-hole
(11,000m) program completed. Assay results are pending for two holes for 1,422 metres.

ABOUT THE MANDILLA GOLD PROJECT
The Mandilla Gold Project is situated in the northern Widgiemooltha greenstone belt, approximately 70
kilometres south of the significant mining centre of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
The area hosts world-class deposits such as the Golden Mile Super Pit in Kalgoorlie, owned by Northern
Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST), and the St Ives Gold Mine approximately 20 kilometres to the
south-east of Kambalda, owned by Gold Fields Limited, as well as the Beta Hunt Gold Mine immediately
to the south of Kambalda, owned by Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX).
The Mandilla Gold Project includes the Theia, Iris, Eos and Hestia deposits.
Gold mineralisation at Theia and Iris is comprised of structurally controlled quartz vein arrays and
hydrothermal alteration close to the western margin of the Emu Rocks Granite and locally in contact
with sediments of the Spargoville Group.
Significant NW to WNW-trending structures along the western flank of the project are interpreted from
aeromagnetic data to cut through the granitic intrusion. These structures are considered important in
localising gold mineralisation at Theia, which has a mineralised footprint extending over a strike length
of more than 1.6km.
A second sub-parallel structure hosts gold mineralisation at the Iris deposit. The mineralised footprint
at Iris extends over a strike length of approximately 700 metres, combining with Theia to form a
mineralised zone extending over a strike length of more than 2.3 kilometres.
At Eos, located further to the south-east, a relatively shallow high-grade mineralised palaeochannel
deposit has been identified which extends over a length of approximately 900 metres. A primary gold
source is also present, with further drilling required to determine both the nature and structural controls
on mineralisation and its extent.
Mineralisation delineated over approximately 1,300 metres of strike at the Hestia deposit, located
approximately 500 metres west of Theia, is associated with a shear zone adjacent to a mafic/sediment
contact, interpreted to be part of the major north-south trending group of thrust faults known as the
Spargoville Shear Corridor.
Locally, the Spargoville Shear Corridor hosts the historically mined Wattle Dam gold mine (266koz at
10.6g/t Au) and, further to the north, the Ghost Crab/Mt Marion mine (>1Moz).
The mineralisation at Hestia, which is present in a different geological setting to the bedrock
mineralisation at Theia and Iris, remains open both down-dip and along strike.

In April 2026, Astral announced a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 53.5Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for
1.74Moz of contained gold2 for the Mandilla Gold Project.
Metallurgical testing undertaken on each of the main deposits at Mandilla – Theia, Iris, Eos and Hestia
– has demonstrated high gravity recoverable gold, fast leach kinetics and exceptional overall gold
recoveries with low reagent consumptions and coarse grinding3,4.
In June 2025, Astral announced the results of a Preliminary Feasibility Study for Mandilla (Mandilla
PFS), which also included the mining of gold deposits at Feysville. It was based on a standalone project
comprising seven open pit mines feeding a 2.75Mtpa processing facility, producing 95koz per year for
the first 12 years. The base case gold price assumption for the Mandilla PFS was A$4,250/oz and
demonstrated a Net Present Value (8% discount rate) (NPV8) of $1.4 billion5. At a A$6,000 gold price,
the NPV8 increases to $2.7 billion.
Four open-pit mines at Mandilla were included in the Mandilla PFS (Theia, Hestia, Eos and Iris), and
three open-pits mines at Feysville (Kamperman, Think Big and Rogan Josh).
The Company is currently progressing a Definitive Feasibility Study for Mandilla (Mandilla DFS). The
Mandilla DFS is forecast for completion during the March Quarter 2027.
Simultaneously, the Company is pursuing an early mining opportunity at the Think Big deposit at
Feysville, which could produce cash flow during the June Quarter 2027.
A map of Mandilla and Spargoville areas, illustrating both the local area geology and mineral deposits
is set out in Figure 4.
