The Company completed a total of 59 RC holes for 5,151m at the Swan, Swift, Shrike, Howards and
Wedge prospects, and 3 geotechnical diamond holes for 484.6m at the Swift, Howards and Wedge
prospects. The program has confirmed historic drilling results and will further increase the resource
confidence levels within each of the resource models. In addition, the diamond drilling has provided
essential geotechnical information to be used in pit designs for the Feasibility Study.
Swan/Swift/Shrike Prospects
The Swan/Swift Mineral Resource which includes the Shrike Prospect, is located ~1.0km east of the
historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1). The current MRE for the Swan/Swift open cut Mineral Resource
Estimate (MRE) is 12.7Mt @ 1.06g/t Au for 434,100oz (Table A).
Nineteen RC holes were drilled at Swan for 1,444m, 4 RC holes were drilled at Shrike for 231m, and
one RC hole was completed at Swift for 131m. One HQ geotechnical diamond hole was also drilled at
Swift for 129.7m. Assay results have confirmed and extended previously identified shallow gold
mineralisation along the north-west and eastern edges of the Swan/Butcherbird pits (Figures 2 - 4).
Numerous significant >20 gram x metre intercepts were returned (Table C) including:
22m @ 3.18g/t Au from 2m including 5m @ 9.71g/t Au from 10m (SBRC128)
30m @ 1.74g/t Au from 77m (SBRC133)
10m @ 4.47g/t Au from 74m including 5m @ 7.74g/t Au from 76m (SBRC134)
10m @ 3.55g/t Au from 18m including 3m @ 11.18g/t Au from 18m (SBRC141)
11m @ 2.95g/t Au from 22m including 4m @ 7.49g/t Au from 23m (SBRC143)
12m @ 2.46g/t Au from 113m including 2m @ 9.24g/t Au from 114m (SFRC001)
33m @ 0.88g/t Au from 86m including 17m @ 1.38g/t Au from 91m (SBRC141)
6m @ 3.88g/t Au from 27m (SBRC129)
19m @ 1.15g/t Au from 29m including 6m @ 2.01g/t Au from 39m (SBRC134)
Gold mineralisation at Swan and Swift is associated with conjugate quartz-carbonate-pyrite vein sets
preferentially hosted within carbonate-sericite altered dolerite. Conjugate vein sets are shallow
southeast dipping with lodes generally plunging to the south, and moderate to steeply northeast dipping
with lodes plunging to the north. High-grade ore shoots are formed parallel to vertical fold hinges within
the dolerite, at conjugate vein set intersections, and at the intersection of vein sets with the Swan and
Swift shear zones which run through the centre of both open cut pits. Swan, Swift and Shrike Prospects
also include flat lying supergene gold mineralisation that is located between 10m and 40m below
surface.
Wireframing of the Swan, Swift and Shrike gold mineralisation has been completed in preparation for
updated mineral resource estimates.

Howards Prospect
The Company completed a total of 30 RC holes for 2,463m and one geotechnical diamond hole for
185m at the Howards Prospect (Figure 1). The holes were designed to test up-dip extensions and
confirm the previously delineated shallow gold mineralisation associated with the current MRE of
10.2Mt @ 0.81g/t Au for 266,900oz (Table A). Drilling successfully intercepted near surface gold
mineralisation, and infill drill lines have confirmed the broad widths and grade of historic intercepts
within northern and central lodes further increasing resource confidence levels at the prospect.
Numerous >25 gram x metre gold intercepts were returned from the drill program (Figures 5 & 6, Table
D), including:
28m @ 3.88g/t Au from 74m including 12m @ 8.19g/t Au from 77m (HWRC293)
74m @ 0.88g/t Au from 18m including 8m @ 2.18g/t Au from 53m (HWRC300)

Gold mineralisation at Howards is hosted within a broad, north-south trending, vertical to steep westdipping shear zone, approximately 150m from, and sub-parallel to the east-dipping eastern contact of
the Montague granodiorite. Mineralisation is associated with strong quartz veining and intense silicaalbite-biotite alteration within a sheared basalt above a footwall dolerite unit. Two sinistral northwesttrending faults offset the northern (northern lode) and southern (southern lode) extensions from the
main Howards lode by 30m and 150m respectively (Figure 5).
Whilst additional extension drilling is warranted at Howards, an MRE update will be completed for FS
purposes prior to further drilling. Wireframing of the Howards gold mineralisation has commenced in
preparation for an updated MRE.

Wedge Prospect
The Wedge Prospect is located 2km northeast of the historic Gidgee Mill (Figure 1) and hosts a current
MRE of 487Kt @ 1.52g/t Au for 23,800 oz. (Table A).
The recent RC program at Wedge (5 RC holes for 882m and 1 diamond hole for 169.9m), has
continued to intercept the shallow south plunging high grade gold shoot that extends from the base of
the Wedge open cut pit. Significant gold intercepts (>9.5 G x M) returned from the program (Figures 7
& 8, Table E) include:
10m @ 2.11g/t Au from 108m including 3m @ 4.75g/t Au from 111m (WEDD001)
6m @ 2.90g/t Au from 113m (WERC013)
5m @ 2.93g/t Au from 158m (WERC016)
10m @ 1.33g/t Au from 129m (WEDD001)
10m @ 0.99g/t Au from 121m including 3m @ 2.17g/t Au from 125m (WERC015)
High grade gold mineralisation at Wedge is located within shoots that dominantly plunge ~30 degrees
to the south and north, and are associated with quartz-pyrite veined, strongly sheared, strongly altered
basalt. Mineralisation is continuous over a 450-metre strike and is currently defined to a maximum
vertical depth of 110 metres, with the base of complete oxidation at ~60 metres below surface.
The program has extended the southern gold shoot further to the south where it remains open at depth.
Further drilling is planned down plunge to the south, however an MRE update will be completed for FS
purposes prior to further drilling.

Feasibility Study Progress and Resource Expansion Drilling
Work on the Gum Creek Feasibility Study is on schedule for completion early 2026 with geotechnical
studies, metallurgical test work almost complete, and environmental surveys, mine design, heritage
evaluation work and water management test work all advancing well. Water bore drilling and pump
tests are due to commence early next month and will provide the data to produce a site-wide water
balance model.
Further drilling, including resource expansion drilling at some of the 12 open pittable resource areas
not included in the 2024 Scoping Study will be undertaken to confirm the potential to extend the mine
life envisaged in the Scoping Study. The Company is also considering additional drill testing at several
high-grade targets including Kingfisher and Omega to further advance the significant economic
potential of the Project in relation to underground mining options.
The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project can be a robust, viable stand‐alone mining
operation with the recent high gold prices only bolstering the March 2024 Scoping Study outcomes 2
and providing high level of optimism for the current Feasibility Study outcomes.

The information that relates to the Scoping Study and the information that relates to Exploration Results in this announcement
is based on information compiled by Mr Leigh Ryan, who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Ryan
is the Managing Director of Horizon Gold Limited and holds shares and options in the Company, Mr Ryan has sufficient
experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which
he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Ryan consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters
based on information provided in the form and context in which it appears.
No New Information or Data:
This announcement contains references to Mineral Resource estimates, all of which have been cross referenced to previous
market announcements. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any additional information or data that materially affects
the information included in the relevant market announcements and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources, that all
material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue
to apply and have not materially changed.
Forward Looking Statements:
This ASX announcement may contain certain “forward-looking statements” which may not have been based solely on
historical facts but rather may be based on the Company’s current expectations about future events and results. Where the
Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed
in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to metals price volatility, currency
fluctuations, as well as political and operational risks and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes.

APPENDIX 2: JORC TABLE 1 (SECTIONS 1 AND 2)
Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
• In cases where „industry standard‟
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg „reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay‟). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• HQ3 diamond core was drilled to various depths using a truck-mounted
DRA 800 diamond drill rig.
• Selected diamond core was cut in half using an on-site Almonte
diamond saw and sampled at 1m intervals over mineralised intervals
selected by the supervising geologist.
• Sampling was undertaken using Horizon Gold Limited (HRN) sampling
protocols and QAQC procedures in line with industry best practice, with
laboratory standard reference material, sample blanks and sample
duplicates were inserted/collected at every 25th sample in the sample
sequence.
• Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were routinely sampled at 1m
intervals down the hole. The upper sections of some holes were
sampled at 2m intervals.
• Samples were collected at the drill rig using an industry standard rigmounted cone splitter to collect a nominal 2 - 3 kg sub sample in a
numbered calico sample bag, with the remaining sample retained at the
drill site for future resampling and/or metallurgical sampling if required.
• Routine standard reference material, sample blanks, and sample
duplicates were inserted/collected at every 25th sample in the sample
sequence.
• All RC and half core diamond samples were submitted to Australian
Laboratory Services (ALS) in Perth for preparation (including
pulverising) to produce a 50g sub-sample for analysis for gold by 50g
Fire Assay.
• Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
• Diamond core was drilled from surface to facilitate geotechnical logging
and sampling from surface. Industry standard barrels and triple tube
barrels were used to obtain HQ3 core samples.
• Diamond core holes were routinely surveyed for down hole deviation
using a DeviGyro set to collect readings every 5m down each hole.
• HQ3 core was orientated using Reflex orientation tools, with core initially
cleaned and pieced together at the drill site. Core was then
reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for down hole
depth marking and then orientated with orientation lines marked up by
HRN field staff at the Gidgee Core Shed.
• All RC holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling
techniques using a DR05 SREPS SR650 drill rig and auxiliary
compressor.
Drilling
techniques
Commentary
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• All RC samples were collected at 1m intervals through the drill rig
cyclone and then split via riffle and cone splitters. RC samples were
typically dry. Composite samples were collected by tube sampling the
bulk RC sample bags.
• Diamond drilling involved HQ and NQ core. Sampling of diamond core
involved 1m sampling, with sampling over geological intervals (down to
