Horizon Gold Limited (ASX: HRN) (Horizon or the Company) is focussed on progressing its
exploration and development activities at the 100%-owned Gum Creek Gold Project (Gum Creek or
the Project) located in the Mid-West Region of Western Australia (Figure 1). Gum Creek has
historically produced more than 1 million ounces of gold and currently hosts a gold resource of 44.45Mt
@ 1.50g/t Au for 2.14 million ounces 1. The Project currently covers 524km2 of granted tenure over
the highly prospective and underexplored Gum Creek greenstone belt, which contains 37 open pit and
three underground gold mines.
During the quarter 37 RC holes for 2,918m were drilled at the Swan, Eagle, Hawk, Melbourne Bitter,
Specimen Well, and Toedter prospects completing the 13,183m program aimed at upgrading resource
confidence levels and testing the extension of high priority resource targets.
Final gold assays for all holes were received during the quarter. The program has confirmed historic
drill results and will further increase the resource confidence levels within each of the resource models.
In addition, downhole televiewer work completed at 12 prospects during the quarter will supplement
the structural and geotechnical information obtained from diamond core logging and will help determine
the most appropriate wall angles for pit optimisation and pit design work in the Feasibility Study (FS).

Melbourne Bitter Prospect
The Melbourne Bitter Prospect is located 26km north of the Gidgee Mill. The prospect has not been
previously mined and the current MRE for the deposit is 0.36Mt @ 1.44g/t Au for 16,800oz (Table A).
Recent drilling at Melbourne Bitter included five RC holes for 428m and one geotechnical diamond
hole for 130.7m (Figures 19 & 20). Geological and geotechnical core logging was completed on one
HQ geotechnical diamond hole (130.7m), providing important structural information which has been
used to interpret complex mineralised trends at the prospect. Assay results from 5 RC holes (428m)
and the diamond hole confirmed previous shallow gold mineralisation identified in wider spaced historic
RC drilling, and returned several gold intercepts including:
19m @ 1.39g/t Au from 42m including 8m @ 2.93g/t Au from 49m (MBRC042)
28m @ 0.72g/t from 21m including 4m @ 2.33 g/t from 21m (MBRC043)

will be focused on high grade plunging shoots at the northern end of the deposit, however an MRE
update will be completed prior to any further drilling.
The Heron South prospect is located 15km south-southeast of the Gidgee Mill and hosts a current
open cut MRE of 1.48Mt @ 1.66g/t Au for 78,900oz (Table A). Geological and geotechnical core
logging was completed on 1 HQ geotechnical diamond hole (180m) drilled through the centre of the
deposit. Gold assays returned four narrow intercepts including 6m @ 1.07g/t Au from 139m
(HSDD001). Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike to the north and south, and further
drilling is warranted, however an MRE update will be completed prior to any further drilling.
The Specimen Well prospect is located 43.5km north-northwest of the Gidgee Mill and hosts a current
open cut MRE of 0.53Mt @ 1.50g/t Au for 25,500oz (Table A). Geological and geotechnical core
logging was completed on 1 HQ geotechnical diamond hole (125.1m) and downhole televiewer
surveying was undertaken in one RC hole. Gold assays from 2 shallow RC holes (totalling 104m) and
the diamond hole returned no intercepts greater than 2 gram x metres. Future drilling will be focused
on high-grade gold shoots at the southern end of the deposit.

Feasibility Study Progress and Resource Expansion Drilling
Work on the Gum Creek Feasibility Study remains on schedule for completion early in 2026, with
geotechnical studies and metallurgical test work being finalised, whilst environmental surveys, mine
design work, heritage evaluation work and water management test work all advancing well. Water bore
drilling is also underway, and pump tests will commence in August 2025 prior to producing 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 further extend the potential mine life of
the Gum Creek Gold Project. The Company is also planning additional drill testing at high-grade
underground targets including Kingfisher and Omega, and looking at underground mining options to
further advance the significant economic potential of the Project.
The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project will be a robust, viable stand‐alone mining
operation with the recent high gold prices only strengthening the March 2024 Scoping Study outcomes 2
and providing a high level of confidence for the current Feasibility Study outcomes.
