MORE HIGH-GRADE GOLD IN EXTENSIONAL DRILLING
POINTS TO GROWTH POTENTIAL AT KAMPERMAN
Plus, diamond drilling at the cornerstone Theia deposit delivers multiple high-grade
intercepts both on the eastern flank and within the main deposit
HIGHLIGHTS
Feysville Project
• Assay results received for 17 RC holes (2,954m) drilled recently at Kamperman, part of the
100%-owned Feysville Gold Project in WA. The program tested a variety of targets designed
both to increase the Mineral Resource and improve understanding of the deposit, with a specific
focus on high-grade zones. Best results include:
• 14m at 6.79g/t Au from 192m including 2m at 23.8g/t Au from 193m (FRC463)
• 13m at 6.60g/t Au from 44m including 1m at 57.6g/t Au from 46m and 1m at 10.9g/t Au
from 48m, 4m at 2.06g/t Au from 62m and 4m at 3.81g/t Au from 88m (FRC457)
• 21m at 3.11g/t Au from 115m including 1m at 13.4g/t Au from 132m (FRC460)
• 15m at 3.70g/t Au from 123m including 1m at 16.4g/t Au from 124m and 1m at 21.1g/t Au
from 135m, 6m at 2.79g/t Au from 158m, 23m at 2.57g/t Au from 180m including 3m at
13.7g/t Au from 197m and 3m at 2.57g/t Au from 208m (FRC452)
• 14m at 2.66g/t Au from 179m (FRC461)
• 27m at 0.78g/t Au from 21m and 25m at 1.68g/t Au from 50m including 1m at 11.7g/t Au
from 59m and 1m at 10.5g/t Au from 62m (FRC453)
• 6m at 4.10g/t Au from 210m including 1m at 13.4g/t Au from 212m (FRC454)
• The drill program has confirmed the presence of north-west striking high-grade gold
mineralisation that is not currently included in the Kamperman Mineral Resource model, as well
as confirming depth extensions to the southern lode and additional high-grade mineralisation in
the footwall of the southern lode.
Mandilla Project
• A 4-hole (1,641m) DD program has been completed on the eastern flank of the Theia deposit,
part of the 100%-owned Mandilla Gold Project. The drill program was designed to test for a
potential steeply dipping sub-parallel mineralised structure to the east of Theia. Best results
include:
• 4.15m at 33.2g/t Au from 164.3m including 0.5m at 269.6g/t Au from 165m, 12.13m at
1.29g/t Au from 173.87m including 0.3m at 23.4g/t Au from 173.87m and 1.79m at 6.21g/t
Au from 253.47m including 0.58m at 17.6g/t Au from 253.82m (AMRCD140)
• 0.3m at 30.7g/t Au from 336.26m (AMRCD139)
• Quartz, pyrite and visible gold1
were intersected in each of the four holes, confirming the
potential for Theia to host additional mineralised structures.

• A 3-hole (775.6-m) DD program was also completed at Theia. The program was designed to
target a previously intersected “230 Shear” structure. Drilling successfully intersected this
distinct, narrow high-grade shear zone with best results including:
• 1.57m at 22.8g/t Au from 168.59m including 0.6m at 59.2g/t Au from 169.56m, 7.12m at
1.42g/t Au from 175.08m including 0.3m at 25.9g/t Au from 175.51m, 8.73m at 0.95g/t Au
from 222.44m and 4.90m at 1.28g/t Au from 259m including 0.3m at 13.7g/t Au from
262.07m (AMRCD137)
• 2.27m at 4.94g/t Au from 161m including 0.47m at 22.8g/t Au from 161.93m and 5.33m at
1.08g/t Au from 202.85m (AMRCD138)
Astral Resources’ Managing Director Marc Ducler said: “The assay results from the recent RC
program at Feysville have demonstrated the excellent potential for both the overall gold grade and the
deposit size at Kamperman to increase.
“The program was highly successful in achieving its aims to extend interpreted high-grade gold zones
beyond the existing Mineral Resource.
“The centrally located drill-hole, FRC457, returned an outstanding intercept of 13m at 6.60g/t Au,
representing a very successful extension to a north-west striking high-grade ore shoot which appears
to be projecting beyond the current deposit limits.
“Drill-hole FRC463 also returned a spectacular high-grade intercept. Drilled south and well beyond the
current Resource testing for a south-plunging ore zone at depth, drilling successfully intersected 14m
at 6.79g/t Au from 192m, to confirm one of our deepest zones of high-grade gold mineralisation so far
and providing us with a hint of the greater potential still remaining at Kamperman.
“Over the Christmas period, Astral received notice from the DMPE of the grant of our Mining Licence
application over areas of Feysville. This marks an important step as we progress towards submission
of the Mining Proposal and execution of a JV agreement with Mineral Mining Services for the
development of the Think Big Gold Mine. This would establish an early revenue opportunity for Astral
against the backdrop of record gold prices to assist with securing overall development funding for the
Mandilla Gold Project.
“Meanwhile at the cornerstone Theia deposit at Mandilla, we received assay results from two diamond
drill programs, with further outstanding high-grade intercepts recorded.
“The first, a 3-hole program targeting the “230 Shear”, returned results such as 1.57m at 22.7g/t Au
and 2.27m at 4.94g/t Au in separate holes, confirming the presence of this discrete, narrow, high-grade
shear zone which strikes through the main Theia deposit.
“Importantly the shear, intersected in all three holes, remains mineralised at depth, with the potential to
delineate additional sub-parallel repeats both within and extensional to Theia.
“A second 4-hole diamond drill program tested a potential steeply dipping sub-parallel structure to the
east of Theia. As an initial positive sign visible gold was logged in all four holes, with a best result
including a very high-grade intersection of 4.15m at 33.2g/t Au from 164.3m in hole AMDRCD137.
“Following our successful capital raise completed in December, Astral has funds on hand to maintain
an aggressive exploration focus and complete the Mandilla DFS targeting a Final Investment Decision
– all while maintaining a significant component of the equity requirement for development of the
Mandilla Gold Project.
“Astral has ramped up exploration activities for 2026 with three drill rigs (2 RC and 1 DD rig) currently
operating on site.”

• 7m at 1.79g/t Au from 126m and 3m at 2.38g/t Au from 192m (FRC450)
As such, Kamperman has once again delivered excellent drill results.
Drill holes FRC456, FRC457 and FRC458, located centrally, and immediately to the north of the well-
defined southern lode were designed to intersect a north-west striking high-grade zone of gold
mineralisation not currently in the MRE.
All three holes were successful returning assay results of 14m at 1.04g/t Au, 13m at 6.60g/t Au and
5m at 3.46g/t Au respectively (as set out above).
A cross-section through holes FRC456, FRC457 and FRC458 is set out in Figure 3 (see Figure 2 for
section location).

Drill-hole FRC463, which is located immediately south of the southern lode, was designed to test for
south-plunging gold mineralisation at depth, and south of the interpreted southern lode at Kamperman.
The hole, well outside the current MRE, returned an exceptional intercept of 14m at 6.79g/t Au from
192m, with the mineralisation remaining open at depth.

Drill-holes FRC460 and FRC461 also successfully tested the southern lode at Kamperman.
FRC460 was a successful in-fill test, returning 21m at 3.11g/t Au from 115m, while FRC461 was an
extensional down-dip test returning 14m at 2.66g/t Au from 179m. The mineralisation remains open at
depth.
Drill hole FRC452, located on the western flank, and to the north, was a successful down-dip test on
the same section as FRC378, which returned 27m at 22.6g/t Au from 67m. The hole returned several
zones of gold mineralisation, associated with quartz and sulphides within porphyry, including 15m at
3.70g/t Au from 123m and 23m at 2.57g/t Au from 180m.

The drill program consisted of two distinct parts.
The first was to test the interpreted “230 Shear”, which is potentially west-north-west striking and steeply
south-west dipping, with an estimated thickness of one metre. The size of the shear is limited by existing
drilling and the Emu Rocks Fault to the east.
Three DD holes (775.6m) were drilled. Best results included:
• 1.57m at 22.8g/t Au from 168.59m including 0.6m at 59.2g/t Au from 169.56m, 7.12m at 1.42g/t
Au from 175.08m including 0.3m at 25.9g/t Au from 175.51m, 8.73m at 0.95g/t Au from 222.44m
and 4.90m at 1.28g/t Au from 259m including 0.3m at 13.7g/t Au from 262.07m (AMRCD137)
• 1.34m at 8.16g/t Au from 161.93m including 0.47m at 22.8g/t Au from 161.93m and 5.33m at
1.08g/t Au from 202.85m (AMRCD138)
• 5.91m at 1.03g/t Au from 191.77m, 6.10m at 1.02g/t Au from 200.55m, 16.23m at 0.76g/t Au from
211.51m including 0.57m at 14.5g/t Au from 211.51m and 27.23m at 0.50g/t Au from 231.75m
including 0.34m at 11.9g/t Au from 253.4m (AMRCD136)
Previous drilling that intersected the shear returned very high-grade results, with assay grades up to
304g/t Au reported. In this program, all three holes successfully intersected the shear, which is
geologically distinct from the surrounding mineralisation typically associated with the Theia Deposit.
A cross-section through the three holes is set out in Figure 6 (see Figure 5 for section location).
The best assay result associated with the “230 Shear” on this occasion was 0.47m at 22.8g/t Au from
161.93m (reported within a wider intersection of 1.34m at 8.16g/t Au from 161.93m) in AMRCD138.
The second part of the DD program was to target a potential steeply dipping sub-parallel structure to
the east and below the Theia Stage 5 open pit.
Four holes (1,641m) were drilled. Best results included:
• 4.15m at 33.2g/t Au from 164.3m including 0.5m at 269.6g/t Au from 165m, 12.13m at 1.29g/t Au
from 173.87m including 0.3m at 23.4g/t Au from 173.87m and 1.79m at 6.21g/t Au from 253.47m
including 0.58m at 17.6g/t Au from 253.82m (AMRCD140)
• 8m at 1.84g/t Au from 113m and 4.78m at 1.38g/t Au from 161.67m (AMRCD141)
• 0.3m at 30.7g/t Au from 336.26m (AMRCD139)
• 10.03m at 1.54g/t Au from 312.5m including 0.3m at 42.0g/t Au from 316.4m, 30.62m at 0.74g/t
Au from 354.11m including 0.3m at 25.1g/t Au from 360.63m and 23.23m at 0.55g/t Au from
399.87m (AMRCD142A)
Visible gold was logged in core from each of the four holes, noting that visible gold for three of the holes
was situated below the current Theia Stage 5 open pit design.
Coherent zones of quartz and sulphides typical of Theia-style mineralisation are present, confirming
the strong potential for sub-parallel mineralised structures to be hosted at Theia.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITY UPDATE
Three drill rigs are currently operating – two RC rigs and one DD rig.
The first RC drill rig is undertaking a 103-hole (13,742m) program which includes:
• 36 holes (5,080m) of sterilisation drilling to the north of the Hestia Deposit, being the planned
location of tailings storage facility;
• 15 holes (1,632m) in the current bridge between the Theia and Iris deposits; and
• 52 holes (6,760m) of sterilisation drilling to the west of the Hestia Deposit, being the currently
planned location of the main waste dump.
A second RC drill rig is undertaking a 41-hole (4,320m) program, which includes:
• Two holes (220m) of sterilisation drilling to the south of the Hestia Deposit; and
• 39 holes (4,100m) of Resource definition (including in-fill and extensional) drilling at the Spiders
deposits (Redback, Golden Orb, Huntsman and Trapdoor) at Spargoville.
A DD rig is completing an eight-hole (784m) geotechnical drill program at Mandilla, including:
• Two holes (298m) at the Hestia deposit; and
• Six holes (486m) at the Eos deposit.
Follow-up work is currently in the planning stages to further define the potential sub-parallel structures
to the east and below the Stage 5 Theia pit – with drilling expected to commence in the first half of
2026.
Additionally, reinterpretation of the mineralised wireframes at Kamperman is underway following receipt
of the recent assay results. Additional drilling will subsequently be planned.

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).
Mandilla is covered by existing Mining Leases which are not subject to any third‐party royalties other
than the standard WA Government gold royalty.
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 600 metres, combining with Theia to form a
mineralised zone extending over a strike length of more than 2.2 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 600 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 800 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 2025, Astral announced a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 42Mt at 1.1 g/t Au for 1.43Moz
of contained gold4
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 grinding5,6
.
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 billion7
. At a A$6,500 gold price,
the NPV8 increases to $3.1 billion6
.
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).
A map of Mandilla illustrating both the local area geology and mineral deposits is set out in Figure 7.

ABOUT THE FEYSVILLE GOLD PROJECT
The Feysville Gold Project is located within the north-north-west trending Norseman – Wiluna
Greenstone Belt, within the Kambalda Domain of the Archean Yilgarn Craton, approximately 14km
south of the KCGM Super Pit in Kalgoorlie.
Significant gold and nickel mineralisation occurs throughout the belt, including 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, south of Kambalda, owned by Gold Fields Limited. The area also
hosts the Beta Hunt Gold Mine, owned by Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX).
15
astralresources.com.au ASX: AAR |
Feysville hosts an MRE of 5Mt at 1.2g/t Au for 196koz8
of contained gold at the Kamperman, Think
Big and Rogan Josh deposits. The recently completed PFS demonstrated that Feysville is a valuable
source of satellite ore feed for a future operation based at Astral’s flagship Mandilla Gold Project,
contributing 3.7Mt at 1.1g/t Au for 132koz towards the production target of 1.41Moz6
.
Locally, Feysville has been interpreted to contain upthrust ultramafics, emplaced within a sequence of
volcanic sediments (the Black Flag sediment group), granitic intrusions, mafic basalts, gabbro and
andesite. A map of the Feysville Gold Project showing tenements and deposits/prospects on local area
geology is set out in Figure 8.
