Horizon Gold Limited (ASX: HRN) (‘Horizon’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce numerous
significant gold intercepts returned from RC drilling at its 100% owned Gum Creek Gold Project (‘Gum
Creek’ or ‘the Project’) located in the Mid-West Region of Western Australia. Final assay results for
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling completed at six prospects including Swift, Eagle, Goldfinch, Shrike
South, Thornbill West and Vigilant have been received (Figure 1). Significant results are outlined
below.

Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets over simplified geology.
Managing Director Scott Williamson said:
“These impressive high-grade RC drilling results from Swift, Eagle, Shrike South and Goldfinch
continue to unlock our free-milling open pit mining strategy. We’re consistently adding shallow, high-
grade resource ounces less than two kilometres from the proposed 2.4Mtpa processing plant while
simultaneously drilling deeper to unlock the underground potential throughout the Gum Creek
Greenstone Belt.
Eagle, Shrike South and Goldfinch have all delivered consistent high grades, with resource estimation
underway to define material expansions to the Eagle MRE and maiden MREs for Shrike South and
Goldfinch. Importantly, these resource additions sit outside the current Feasibility Study, positioning
us for a meaningful uplift to project economics over the coming months.
3
The Feasibility Study remains on track for mid-year completion, with further results expected in the
coming weeks as resource expansion drilling continues.”
Swift Prospect
The Swift Prospect is located 1.2km east of the historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1). The current Swan/Swift
open cut MRE is 7.00Mt @ 1.85g/t Au for 415,600oz, and the Swift underground MRE is 0.85Mt @
2.52g/t Au for 68,800oz (Table A).
The Company completed twelve RC holes at Swift for a total of 1,974m including three 120m deep
pre-collars for diamond drilling (Figure 2). The program aimed to test for down dip and up-dip
extensions to high-grade mineralisation outside of the current Swift resource block model.
The Swift Prospect RC drilling returned the following significant intercepts (Figure 3 & Table B):
6m @ 5.13g/t Au from 95m including 2m @ 14.7g/t Au from 98m (SFRC002)
5m @ 4.28g/t Au from 146m including 2m @ 10.28g/t Au from 146m (SFRC013)
3m @ 6.13g/t Au from 123m including 1m @ 17.6g/t Au from 123m (SFRC012)
9m @ 1.10g/t Au from 152m (SFRC012)
8m @ 1.09g/t Au from 145m (SFRC011)

Figure 3: Swift cross section showing recent RC drill intercept, interpreted
mineralised envelopes, previous drill intercepts (>40 GxM) & Swift open pit.
The high-grade intercept returned from SFRC002 is located 40m down dip of previous drilling and
requires up-dip infill, and down dip and along strike extension drilling. The high-grade intercepts
returned from SFRC012 and SFRC013 support the impressive 2021 result of 15m @ 4.0g/t Au from
145m in SWRC006. Crucially, these results confirm the interpreted flat lying, stacked lode model to
the west of the main Swift lode (Figure 3)1
.Follow up drilling will also be required to the east of these
intercepts.
Diamond core extensions to three RC pre-collars (SWRC005-007D) aim to extend to the main Swift
lode down dip to the east and provide important structural information about potential controls on the
high-grade plunging gold shoots. These holes will be completed in the coming months prior to an MRE
upgrade for Swift later in 2026.
Eagle Prospect
The Eagle Prospect is located 1.2km southeast of the historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1). The current MRE
for Eagle is 2.02Mt @ 1.28g/t Au for 83,400oz (Table A).
The Company completed 33 RC holes for 2,590m aimed at testing for shallow open pittable
mineralisation along strike of the existing resource (Figure 4). Significant intercepts (Table C) include:
3m @ 6.62g/t Au from 43m including 1m @ 16.35g/t Au from 43m (EARC057)

3m @ 2.47g/t Au from 34m (EARC035)
Gold mineralisation down to about 70m below surface at Eagle is supergene related, with primary
mineralisation hosted within steep west dipping quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins within sericite-carbonate
altered basalt. The RC program has successfully extended the known gold mineralisation at Eagle for
approximately 300m to the south of the current block model. Wireframing is underway in advance of
completing an update to the Eagle MRE.

zones and significant 2026 RC intercepts (>3 GxM).
Goldfinch Prospect
The Goldfinch Prospect is located 2.0km southeast of the Gidgee Mill. There is no MRE for this
prospect. Two RC holes including one re-entry / extension hole were completed for 170m, as follow
up to the RC program completed late in 2025. Significant assay results were returned from both holes
(Figure 6 & Table D) including:
4m @ 6.19g/t Au from 75m to EOH (GFRC032)
3m @ 5.11g/t Au from 73m (GFRC030)
Gold mineralisation at Goldfinch down to approximately 40m below surface is supergene in origin.
Below this depth primary mineralisation is hosted within moderate, west dipping quartz-sulphide veins
within sericite-carbonate altered basalt (Figure 6). Geological wireframing is currently underway ahead
of planned deeper drilling and the estimation of a maiden MRE for the prospect.

zones and significant 2026 and previous RC intercepts.
Shrike South Prospect
The Shrike South Prospect is located 1.3km southeast of the Gidgee Mill. The Prospect has been
mined historically by open cut methods over a total strike length of ~280m. The Prospect is not in the
Company’s current project-wide mineral resource estimations.
The Company completed twelve RC holes for 1,187m. The drilling aimed to test for shallow strike
extensions to gold mineralisation beneath and along strike of the existing pit. Numerous significant
intercepts were returned (Figure 7 & Table E) including:
11m @ 1.18g/t Au from 72m including 5m @ 2.20g/t Au from 73m (SSRC011)
7m @ 1.43g/t Au from 82m including 3m @ 2.49g/t Au from 82m (SSRC008)
7m @ 1.33g/t Au from 65m (SSRC004)
7m @ 1.33g/t Au from 68m (SSRC003)
5m @ 1.57g/t Au from 30m (SSRC001)
2m @ 3.91g/t Au from 55m (SSRC002)
7m @ 1.01g/t Au from 72m including 1m @ 4.25g/t Au from 72m (SSRC008)
6m @ 1.00g/t Au from 46m including 1m @ 3.85g/t Au from 50m (SSRC009)
8
Gold mineralisation down to approximately 60m below surface is supergene in origin. Below this depth
primary mineralisation is hosted within steep west dipping quartz-sulphide veins within sericite altered
basalt. Wireframing is underway in advance of completing a maiden MRE for the prospect.

Figure 8: Shrike South cross section showing interpreted
mineralised zone and significant intercepts (>10 GxM).
The Thornbill West Prospect is located 1.6km southeast of the Gidgee Mill, where the Company
completed an additional three RC holes for 270m. Drilling returned the following significant gold
intercepts (Figure 7, Table F):
20m @ 0.65g/t Au from 7m including 3m @ 2.11g/t Au from 22m (THRC012)
10m @ 0.62g/t Au from 11m including 1m @ 3.08g/t Au from 18m (THRC010)
Drilling has successfully extended gold mineralisation to the north of the prospect. Further drilling is
planned to test for structural continuity and determine if this zone connects with the Shrike South
prospect
The Vigilant Prospect is located 1.3km east of the Gidgee Mill and forms part of the Swan/Swift open
cut and underground MRE. An infill program consisting of three RC holes totalling 311m were drilled
to tighten the drill spacing within the current resource. The program returned a best intercept of 2m @
1.39g/t Au from 130m in hole VIRC010 (Table G). Moving forward, exploration drilling will shift focus
toward testing the shallow supergene mineralisation at the southern end of the Vigilant open pit.
Feasibility Study Progress
The Gum Creek Feasibility Study (FS) is progressing well, risk assessments have been concluded,
and a draft FS report nearing completion. The Study remains on schedule for market release mid-
2026.
The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project will support a robust, commercially viable stand‐
alone mining operation. Sustained strength in the gold price further enhances the economics
10
established in the March 2024 Scoping Study2
and provides a high degree of confidence for the
upcoming Feasibility Study outcomes. Preparation work for the Mine Development and Closure
Proposal (MDCP) and associated statutory applications is already underway.

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 Commentary
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.
• 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 rig-
mounted 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 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.
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.
• Initially assaying utilised the aqua regia process but most assays
used in this report have been by fire assay with an AAS finish using
the site laboratory or off-site laboratories. A 50g charge was
generally used.
• After the year 2000, samples (mainly grade control) were assayed at
the accredited on-site laboratory at Gidgee using the Leachwell
method. Leachwell cyanide (bottle-roll) assays are apparently more
predictive of expected recoveries from Carbon-in-Pulp gold recovery
plants, so provide a more realistic grade estimate.
Drilling
techniques
• 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, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
• All RC holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling
techniques using a DR05 SREPS SR650 drill rig and auxiliary
compressor.
• Drill rod diameter was 4.5” (114mm) and drill bit diameter was
nominally 143mm to 146mm.
• A face sampling down hole hammer (5' type 760 SREPS) was used
at all times.
• All RC drill holes were surveyed for down hole deviation using an
Axis Champ Navigator north seeking downhole gyro with downhole
readings collected every 5m.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• RC drilling was completed with industry standard RC drill rigs using
a 4.5” to 5.5” drill bit with either a cross-over sub or a face sampling
hammer.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
• A qualitative estimate of sample recovery was done for each RC
sample metre collected from the drill rig.
• A qualitative estimate of RC sample weight was completed to ensure
consistency of sample size and to monitor sample recoveries.
• Most RC material was dry when sampled, with damp and wet
samples noted in sample sheets and referred to when assays were
received.
• RC sample recovery and quality is considered to be adequate for the
drilling technique employed.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• Where documented, RC drilling returned good recoveries, however
drill recoveries for some historical holes are not known.
• All RC samples were split and mixed in the riffle splitting process.
• There is no evidence of there being sample bias due to non-
representative or preferential sampling.
• No apparent relationships were noted in relation to sample recovery
and grade.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
• All RC drill holes were geologically logged by a qualified Geologist.
• Qualitative and quantitative geological logging recorded colour, grain
size, weathering, oxidation, lithology, alteration, veining and
mineralisation including the abundance of specific minerals, veining,
and alteration using an industry standard logging and geological
coding system.
• A small sample of all RC drill material was retained in chip trays for
future reference and validation of geological logging.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• All historical drill holes have been logged using the various company
logging codes. The type of drill log varies with time depending on drill
technique, year and company.
• Logging included codes and descri
