About the Company
Horizon Gold Limited (ASX:HRN) is an exploration company focused on its 100% owned Gum Creek
Project in Western Australia. The Gum Creek Gold Project represents an exciting gold exploration and
potential development opportunity that currently contains a Mineral Resource Estimate of 37.97Mt @
1.89g/t Au for 2.30 million ounces of gold1
including Indicated and Inferred resource classifications
in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves (JORC Code 2012 edition). The indicated portion of the MRE is 26.72Mt @ 1.90g/t Au for
1.63Moz, representing 71% of the total resource ounces.
The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project can be a robust, viable stand‐alone mining
operation and is continuing work on the Gum Creek Feasibility Study. The Project has significant
upside including excellent potential to extend the 10-year Gum Creek Scoping Study mine life through
resource expansion drilling and underground mining. Underground mining options and economic
evaluation work on the Swan/Swift, Kingfisher, Omega and Wilsons deposits is yet to be completed,
and additional drilling at the 12 open pittable resource areas not included in the Scoping or Feasibility
Studies will likely increase the resource size of these deposits and elevate them to an economically
viable status, further enhancing the positive financial outcomes of the Gum Creek Gold Project.

Chairman’s Address
2025 Annual General Meeting
The Country Women’s Association of Western Australia
Meeting Room
1176 Hay Street, West Perth, WA 6005
20 November 2025 at 9:30AM
Over the last 12 months the gold price has increased by around 60% and this has driven value into all
gold assets. The gold endowment at the Gum Creek Gold Project presents a major opportunity for the
Company to capture significant value for shareholders.
The Feasibility Study is progressing well and remains on track for completion in the first half of 2026.
Its focus is on the key free milling gold resources within the Gum Creek Gold Project which provide a
very viable base case for a development. There are many other free milling deposits and prospects
that in due course will be added to mine plans and this supports the Board’s view of a long life operation
at Gum Creek.
The recently announced Mineral Resources Estimate for the Project highlighted some key aspects of
the resource base. The increase to 2.3 million ounces shows the scope for further drilling to deliver
more ounces. It emphasised the quality of the ounces, with over 70% now in the Indicated category.
Just as important was the tighter modelling of the ore bodies that delivered grade improvements that
will boost the Feasibility Study outcomes.
While we progress with derisking a development plan, the tenure remains underexplored and drilling
will continue to be a key component of strategy to enhance shareholder value. Even with the extensive
drilling to date the Company still has many historical open pit deposits and advanced exploration
targets awaiting attention. We have recently completed a program on prospective shallow gold
deposits near the proposed mill site with results due shortly and further programs have been planned.
Very little exploration activity on the tenure has been below 100m depth. Deeper drilling is being
advanced with diamond drilling at the Kingfisher deposit underway and the program will continue at
the Omega underground in early 2026. The underground mining potential is strong and the prospect
of adding higher grade feed to the production schedule is real.
The Board believes that Gum Creek represents a compelling development opportunity, and with gold
at record prices we are confident that our focus on the development of our large gold resource will add
significant value for shareholders. To achieve this we need to extend our organisational structure and
establish a development and operational capacity and we have initiated activities on this.
The recent $12 million capital raising has the company in a strong financial position to complete the
Gum Creek Feasibility Study and undertake the planned exploration drilling.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our existing and new shareholders for their support as we
look forward to sharing our exciting development progress during the year ahead.
