Much of the information required to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is already available except for results from the Phase 1 Nuton column leach testing, which is well underway. The 2024/2025 field program will focus primarily on collecting information required to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study in H2-2026.

The primary goals of the 2024/2025 field program are as follows:

• Complete drilling for metallurgical samples required for Phase 2 Nuton sulphide leaching program
• Complete infill drilling to upgrade resources from Inferred to Measured & Indicated where appropriate
• Complete holes to collect geotechnical and hydrogeological data
• Complete drilling into areas classified as waste due to lack of drilling (undefined waste)

Where possible, the Company will attempt to complete two or more of these goals with a single drill hole. The start of the season will be focused on delivering the metallurgical samples to Nuton, and thereafter will shift to the other stated goals.
