GUM CREEK PROJECT GOLD RESOURCE UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
Updated Gum Creek Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 37.97Mt @ 1.89g/t Au for
2.30Moz represents an 8% increase in total ounces and a 26% increase in gold grade when
compared with the May 2023 MRE.
Indicated gold resource is 26.72Mt @ 1.90g/t Au for 1.63Moz representing a 21% increase in
Indicated ounces compared to the May 2023 MRE and now representing 71% of the total MRE.
Free milling portion of the resource estimate is 28.64Mt @ 1.74g/t Au for 1.60Moz, representing
70% of the total MRE ounces.
All resource areas are located on granted mining leases and remain open along strike or at depth
showing strong potential for additional resource growth with further drilling.
Further drilling aimed at increasing the global MRE and demonstrating the outstanding potential of
the underexplored Gum Creek greenstone belt is planned.
Horizon Gold Limited (ASX:HRN) (Horizon, the Company) is pleased to announce a significant
increase to the Company’s Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) that includes updates to the Eagle, Deep
South Reliance, Hawk, Howards, Hyperno-Reliance, Kingfisher, Melbourne Bitter, Shiraz, Specimen
Well, Swan/Swift, Think Big (Wyooda), Toedter, Wedge and Wilsons deposits, all within its 100%
owned Gum Creek Gold Project (Gum Creek or the Project) located in the Murchison Region of
Western Australia (Figure 1). Total Indicated Resource gold ounces have increased by 21% and
now represent 71% of the total MRE.
Following 28,400m of infill and extension reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling completed at
18 priority gold targets in 2024/2025, a revised MRE of 37.97Mt @ 1.89g/t Au for 2.30Moz for the
Gum Creek Gold Project has been finalised (Table A). The MRE includes Indicated and Inferred
Mineral Resource classifications in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012 edition) with all resources located within
granted mining leases. This updated MRE represents an 8% (164,300oz) increase in Indicated and
Inferred gold ounces and a 26% global average grade increase when compared to the May 2023
MRE1
. The free milling portion of the Mineral Resource estimate has increased to 28.64Mt @ 1.74g/t
Au for 1.60Moz, representing 71% of the total MRE ounces.

Managing Director Leigh Ryan said:
“The Company is very pleased to announce another impressive increase to its 100% owned Gum
Creek gold resource. The 8% increase in ounces is attributed to recent shallow resource drilling,
combined with the lower underground resource cutoff grades supported by the recent significant gold
price increases. The move away from Multiple Indicated Kriging to more appropriate wireframe
constrained Ordinary Kriging block models has significantly increased the average grade across the
Project and has highlighted the potential for future underground mining at several prospects.
Additional resource expansion drilling around existing resources, drilling along strike of and beneath
six additional untested open pits, and initial drilling at potential resource targets, along with wide-
spaced drilling to further advance the large pipeline of regional gold targets is being planned within this
underexplored, highly strategic asset. We’re very confident that further drilling will continue to grow the
indicated and total global resources at Gum Creek.”

Gum Creek MRE Summary
The revised Gum Creek MRE is summarised in Table A, and broken down by material type and
metallurgical categories in Tables B and C. The Indicated gold resource is 26.72Mt @ 1.90g/t Au for
1.63Moz representing a 21% increase in ounces from the May 2023 MRE and now representing 71%
of the total MRE. Table D compares the current and previous MRE’s by resource category, and within
the technical section of the announcement the 15 updated MRE’s are compared with previous
published resource estimates. Details of all updated MRE’s by material type are tabulated below, all
resources are highlighted in Figure 2, and plans and 3D diagrams of each resource are presented in
Figures 3-30.
The Company considers the MRE to have a reasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction
(RPEEE) based on the comparison of gold resource tonnes, thickness, and grades of the deposits for
open pit and underground mining operations on granted mining leases in similar mining jurisdictions to
that of Western Australia.

Gum Creek Next Steps
The Company’s primary focus is to complete the free milling Feasibility Study to highlight the potential
for developing a significant stand-alone gold operation at Gum Creek. The Company is also focused
on further resource growth, testing both shallow free milling oxide targets and deeper high grade
underground targets specifically at the Kingfisher and Omega deposits. Wide-spaced drilling is also
planned to explore the extensive untested strike of known mineralised structures in the Gum Creek
Project and further advance the large pipeline of regional gold targets within this underexplored, highly
strategic asset.

Results are pending from the recent shallow RC drilling immediately south of the Swan/Swift area and
deep diamond drilling has commenced at Kingfisher, following up some exceptional previous intercepts
including 15m @ 28.5g/t Au from 346m and 10m @ 8.9g/t Au from 190m2
. The diamond drilling
program will also test beneath previous high-grade intercepts at the Omega prospect including 30m
@ 21.1g/t Au from 57m and 13m @ 10.8g/t Au from 122m3
.

Swan/Swift Open Cut Deposit
The Swan/Swift open cut deposit contains numerous mineralised domains. The estimate is confined
to A$4,500/oz Whittle optimised pit shells generated by Auralia Mining Consulting using typical owner
operator industry mining parameters, and up-to-date average operating costs for deposits of a similar
scale and geological nature. The optimised pit constraining the open cut resource comprises several
sub-pits within an area ~1.3km by ~1.5km and extends to a maximum depth of around 220m. The
estimate is based on one metre down-hole composited gold assays from RC and diamond drilling. The
MRE is summarised by material type in Table F.

The differences between the July 2022 and November 2025 Swan/Swift Open Cut MREs are a result
of the following:
The 2022 Swan/Swift Open Cut MRE was based on Multiple Indicator Kriging with block support
adjustment utilising broad shapes representing the limits of continuous mineralisation above
approximately 0.1g/t Au. In 2025 the Swan/Swift Open Cut MRE was based on Ordinary Kriging
interpolation technique constrained by continuous mineralisation wireframes constructed using an
approximate 0.2g/t Au cut-off grade. The effect is less tonnes and ounces at a higher grade.
In 2022 the MRE was confined to an A$2,500/oz Whittle pit shell. In 2025 the MRE was confined
to an A$4,500/oz Whittle pit shell. The 2025 pit shells are understandably deeper, however the
anticipated tonnage/ounces increase inside the A$4,500/oz pit shell is offset by the additional low
grade ounces included in the MIK block model when compared to the OK model.
Additional drillhole results obtained from the 2024/2025 drill program were incorporated into the
2025 OK model. This has mainly increased the level of Indicated contained ounces.
Swan and Swift Underground Deposits
The Swan and Swift underground Mineral Resource estimates are reported below the A$4,500/oz
Whittle pit shells that constrain the updated Swan/Swift open cut resource. The updated Swan and
Swift underground cut-off grades have been reduced due to the recent significant increase in gold
price, and the estimation methodology has changed from MIK to OK. The estimates are based on one
metre down-hole composited gold assays from RC and diamond drilling. The revised MRE for both
deposits is summarised by material type in Tables H and I.

cut-off grades are 1.5g/t Au for Swan UG Indicated & Inferred.
The differences between the July 2022 and November 2025 Swan Underground MREs are a result of
the following:
The 2022 Swan UG MRE used reporting cut-off grades of 2.5g/t Au for Indicated and 3.0g/t Au for
Inferred, however due to the recent significant increase in A$ gold price, the 2025 MRE reporting
cut-off grade is 1.5g/t Au for both Indicated & Inferred categories. This has decreased the total
average grade but increased the reported total tonnes and ounces.
The 2022 Swan UG MRE was based on Multiple Indicator Kriging with block support adjustment
utilising broad shapes representing the limits of continuous mineralisation above approximately
0.1g/t Au. In 2025 the Swan/Swift Open Cut MRE was based on Ordinary Kriging interpolation
technique constrained by continuous mineralisation wireframes constructed using an approximate
0.2g/t Au cut-off grade. The effect is less tonnes and ounces at a higher grade.
In 2022 the MRE was confined to an A$2,500/oz Whittle pit shell. In 2025 the MRE was confined

anticipated tonnage/ounces decrease below the A$4,500/oz pit shell is offset by the additional

model.
Additional drillhole results obtained from the 2024/2025 drill program were incorporated into the
2025 OK model. This has slightly increased the level of Indicated contained ounces.
The updated Swift Underground MRE reported as 0.85Mt @ 2.52g/t Au for 68,800 ounces (1.5g/t Au
cut-off), represents a 514% increase in total tonnes, a 56% decrease in gold grade, and a 171%

Wilsons Underground Deposit
Wireframing of the Wilsons underground deposit mineralised zones was completed using an
approximate 1g/t Au cut-off. The resulting wireframes define three steeply west plunging ore zones,
containing an average gold grade of 4.31g/t. Mineralisation at surface strikes north-northwest over
approximately 600m, with high grade mineralised shoots between 150m and 220m long and a currently
defined down plunge extent of between 550m to 750m. The estimate is based on one metre down-
hole composited gold assays from RC and diamond drilling. The MRE is summarised by material type
in Table L.

The differences between the July 2013 and November 2025 Wilsons MREs are a result of the following:
Wireframing completed in 2013 used 1g/t Au and 2g/t Au cut-offs to create 2 separate wireframes.
Separate block models were created within each wireframe with final tonnes and grade reported
from inside the 1g/t Au block model but outside the 2g/t Au block model (Inferred) combined with
the 2g/t Au block model (Indicated). Wireframing completed in 2025 used a 1g/t Au cut-off with the
block model confined to the 1g/t Au wireframe.
The July 2013 MRE completed by BMGS Pty Ltd (BMGS) was based on an Ordinary Kriging block
model using a 1g/t Au lower cut-off grade. The 2025 estimate was based on an OK block model
using a 1.5g/t Au lower cut-off grade.
Subsequent to recent additional water displacement bulk density measurements the November
2025 MRE used density values of 2.9 t/bcm for fresh material compared to 2.92 t/bcm used for
fresh material in 2013 reducing the fresh tonnage estimate.
