Operations
Tritton achieved production of 6.1kt Cu in the September quarter, in line with the
previous quarter. Underground production (predominantly from Avoca Tank and
Budgerygar) was largely to plan although grades were lower than plan due to a
change in mining sequence.
The processing plant continued to perform well in July/Aug, supplemented with
stockpiled ore from Murrawombie Pit. All Stage 1 ore from Murrawombie Pit has now
been processed. Avoca and Budgerygar underground ore will continue to feed the
mill whilst Stage 2 development activities is underway.
Stage 2 development commenced in the quarter, with a third excavator mobilised to
lift production rates. Stage 2 ore is expected to be delivered to the mill in Q3 FY26.
Figure 2: Waste stripping at Murrawombie Pit
At the Constellation project, technical work continued on open cut and underground
mine design, metallurgical test work on oxide and sulphide ore and finalisation of
infrastructure designs. Permitting activities also progressed as planned with the
relevant regulators and government bodies. Work is being finalised on the open pit
portion of the studies, which will result in an early Ore Reserve Estimate and the
development of initial site execution plans, while studies on the underground
component continue.
Construction of the next lift of the TSF also commenced during the quarter.
5
Costs
Costs at Tritton were in line with plan. Mining cost for September quarter was
significantly lower than the previous quarter as it reflected operating costs incurred at
both Avoca and Budgerygar underground operations. By comparison the prior period
also included Stage 1 open pit costs. All costs currently incurred in relation to
development activities of Stage 2 is capitalised until commercial production is
achieved.
Exploration
During the quarter, over 17,000 metres of underground diamond drilling was
completed, with a majority focused on grade control drilling at Avoca Tank and
Budgerygar.
Resource definition and exploration drilling was limited to a number of drill holes at
Avoca Tank focused on down-plunge extensions to the known mineralised corridor.
Two drill holes returned similar promising results intersecting sulphide mineralisation
between 250 and 400 metres down plunge from the base of the reported Mineral
Resource1 (refer to Figure 3).
A down-hole electromagnetic survey (DHEM) is planned for early Q2. DHEM will be
completed on two holes drilled below the current reported Mineral Resource to assist
with vectoring toward thicker sulphide mineralisation down-plunge.
Significant Intercepts:
ATEL083 337.0 - 359.8m @ 1.41% Cu (approx. 8.0m true width)
ATEL092 375.0 - 385.0m @ 1.94% Cu (approx. 7.4m true width)
ATEL083 604.8 - 608.2m @ 3.32% Cu (approx. 1.8m true width)
In the upcoming quarter, a significantly greater portion of exploration and resource
definition drilling will be completed at Budgerygar and Avoca Tank with the
establishment of drill drives to facilitate deeper drilling down-plunge. A fourth drill rig is
planned to commence drilling in December.

Operations
Cracow performed well for the quarter, delivering 8.9koz Au despite being impacted
by a 48 hour power outage and equipment issues. Grades were lower than plan due
to prioritisation of operating development, which delivered lower grade material than
stope ore. Development metres were significantly ahead of plan for the quarter.
Grade is forecast to improve in Q2 with increased stope tonnes.
A review of remnant mineralisation close to existing mine infrastructure has resulted in
a further +20koz Au being brought into the mine plan. This additional material further
extends the life of the Western Vein Field operations.
Construction of the TSF lift is progressing well and is currently ahead of schedule.
Costs
AISC was in line with plan and lower quarter-on-quarter, although the lower grade
mined resulted in fewer ounces produced and hence high costs on a unit rate basis.
The focus on operating development resulted in recognising additional operational
mining costs rather than capitalised development, increasing mining cost.
Growth capital reported relates to TSF lift costs incurred in quarter with construction
underway.
Exploration
Golden Plateau Deposit
During the quarter, an internal and internal grade model1 was developed for the
Golden Plateau deposit to generate prospective target areas for follow-up drilling
underneath the existing open pit (Figure 4). Please refer to ASX announcement
“Golden Plateau Project Update” dated 29 September 2025 for the full details.
In summary, the unclassified grade model highlighted a large volume of mineralisation
around the historical underground workings extending approximately 150m below the
bottom of the pit. The follow-up drill program of approximately 7,000m is planned to
start in November 2025 and is designed to address the gaps in the unclassified grade
model by:
Collecting representative samples through mineralised lodes, including
twinning historical high-grade intersections
Collecting geological information to further refine and improve the geology
model/ understanding
Confirm/validate the current void model
Collecting geotechnical information as inputs to geotechnical design
parameters
Collecting representative samples for metallurgical test work to support the
determination of recovery factors applicable to the Cracow process plant.
1 The grade model does not represent a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve under JORC 2012.

Regional Magnetics Survey
During the quarter, a regional airborne magnetic and radiometric survey was
completed. This survey covered the entire 890 square kilometre exploration lease
package and consisted of almost 8,000 line kilometres of data. There were two
configurations for the survey parameters:
100 metre line spacing and 50 metre sensor height
200 metre line spacing and 300 metre sensor height.
Data collected from the survey will be used to assist in defining the regional structural
architecture and identifying prospective areas for on-ground exploration, including
refining first-pass drill targets at the priority Southern Vein Field exploration target.

Jaguar (WA)
Key points for quarter:
Operation in care and maintenance, incurring reduced costs of $2.1 million for
the quarter. Costs planned to be further reduced in Q2.
Planning for the next phase of exploration is underway
Options for advancing gold exploration also being investigated
Exploration
Work during Q1 FY26 at the Jaguar Project focused on assessing geochemical
responses around the Triumph area, advancing gravity-defined drill targets, and
undertaking soil-sampling programs at the Halloween gold prospect. Mitre
Geophysics also completed a review of the Jaguar downhole-EM survey data. A
detailed assessment of geochemical pathfinders for volcanic-hosted massive
sulphide (VMS) mineralisation at the Triumph Deposit identified antimony (Sb) and
thallium (Tl), in combination with arsenic (As), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb), as the most
effective indicators. These elements define broad lateral halos, 50–100 metres wide,
extending for more than 500 metres along strike, providing valuable vectors for future
exploration.
Approximately 370 surface rock samples were collected across eight gravity-defined
targets with encouraging multi-element responses recorded at Cerberus, Minerva
and Herminia. The Cerberus target, in particular, shows a strong elemental association
including Ag, As, Bi, Co, Cu, In, Ni, S, Sb, Tl, W and Zn, suggesting proximity to a massive
sulphide source. At the Halloween prospect, around 360 soil samples – comprising
various fractions and sample sizes – were collected to determine optimal parameters
for future DetectORE soil programs, with analytical results expected in early Q2 FY26.
Stockman Project (VIC)
Key points for quarter:
Comprehensive metallurgical test work on the Albion leach process
completed this quarter.
Ongoing assessments of various processing options, including detailed capital
and operating cost estimates were finalised during the quarter. Management
is assessing next steps.
Project holding costs remain low
Stockman maintained its commitment to the local community, providing
grants to several regional organisations.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Tritton Underground Resource Definition Drill Program
Table 1 Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria Commentary
Sampling techniques 1. All drill core samples have been collected from longitudinally cut, half
diamond drill core.
2. Samples taken over a mineralised interval are collected to ensure a
majority are 1.0 m in length, and that the hangingwall (HW) and footwall
(FW) samples are between 0.4 m and 1.2 m.
Drilling techniques 1. Diamond drill holes are collared NQ diameter core (47.6 mm) for the
entire hole via diamond drilling.
Drill sample recovery 1. Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers on site at the drill rig. Core
recoveries are checked and verified by an Aeris Resources field
technician and/or geologist.
2. Diamond drill core is pieced together as part of the core orientation
process. During this process, depth intervals are recorded on the core
and checked against downhole depths recorded by drillers on core
blocks within the core trays.
3. Diamond core drilled to date by Aeris Resources have recorded very
high drilling recoveries.
Logging 1. All diamond drill core is logged by an Aeris Resources geologist or
contract geologist. Drill core is logged to a sufficient level of detail to
16
Criteria Commentary
increase the geological knowledge and understanding at each
prospect.
2. All geological logs record lithology, presence/concentration of
sulphides, alteration, and structure.
3. All geological data recorded during the core logging process is stored
in the Aeris Resources AcQuire database.
4. All diamond drill core is photographed and digitally stored on the
company network.
5. Core is stored in core trays, labelled with downhole meterage intervals
and drill hole “hole ID”.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
1. All diamond drill core was halved longitudinally with a core saw, with
one half dispatched for analysis and the other half retained.
2. Half core samples were sent to a certified sample preparation and
assay laboratory.
3. Upon arrival at the laboratory, each sample weight was recorded.
Samples greater than 3kgs were crushed via a Boyd crusher (90%
passing 2mm) and rotary split to a sub-sample between 2 and 3kg.
4. The sub-sample was pulverised via a LM5 to 80% passing 75 µm. A 300g
sample was taken from the pulverised material for assaying. Samples
less than 3kg were crushed via a jaw crusher to 70% passing 6 mm and
the whole sub-sample was pulverised in a LM5 with a 300g sub-sample
taken for assaying.
5. No field duplicates have been collected.
6. The sample size is considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation
and grain size of the material being sampled.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
1. All samples are sent to ALS Laboratory Services at their Orange facility.
2. Samples are analysed by a 3-stage aqua regia digestion with an ICP
finish (suitable for Cu 0.01-1%) – ALS method ME-ICP41.
3. Samples with Cu assays exceeding 1% are re-submitted for an aqua
regia digest using ICP-AES analysis – ALS method ME-OC46.
4. Au analysis is performed from a 30g fire assay fusion with an AAS finish
(suitable for Au grades between 0.01-100ppm) – ALS method Au-AA22.
If a sample records an Au grade above 100ppm another sample is re-
submitted for another 30g fire assay charge using ALS method Au-AA25.
5. QA/QC protocols include the use of blanks, duplicates and standards
(commercial certified reference materials used). The nominal insertion
rate for each QA/QC sample type is 5%.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
1. Logged drill holes are reviewed by the logging geologist and a Aeris
geologist. All geological data is logged directly into Aeris Resources
logging computers following the standard Aeris Resources geology
codes. Data is transferred to the AcQuire database and validated on
entry.
2. Upon receipt of the assay data, no adjustments are made to the assay
values.
Location of data
points
1. Historical surface holes completed have collar locations surveyed by
using a handheld GPS unit with an approximate horizontal accuracy of
approximately +/- 5 m.
2. Due to the uncertainty in the vertical reading from handheld GPS units,
the collars have been projected onto the surveyed topographical
surface.
3. All drill hole locations are collected in Australian Geodetic Datum 66
zone 55.
4. Diamond holes drilled from underground have been collected using
standard survey methods carried out by the site Survey team.
5. One surface drill hole was found to materially disagree with the
mineralisation interpretation based on numerous and much shorter
17
Criteria Commentary
underground drill holes. Therefore, that surface drill hole was moved to
match the higher confidence underground holes.
6. The locational accuracy of the drill collars are considered by the
Competent Person to be adequate for the reporting of an Indicated
and Inferred MRE.
7. Downhole surveys taken are completed by the drill contractor using a
Reflex gyroscopic tool measuring azimuth and dip orientations every 30
m, or shorter intervals if required.
8. All drill hole locations at Avoca Tank are referenced in a North East local
mine grid. The North East mine grid origin (0E, 0N) = 482601.87mE,
6517252.09mN (AGD66). Grid North = 329.095.
Data spacing and
distribution
1. Drill spacing at the Avoca tank deposit is spaced between <20 m to 80
m. Drill hole spacing along strike and down dip is similar.
2. The better drilled portion of the deposit has a drill spacing of <20 m x 20
m, which was considered by the Competent Person to be sufficient to
estimate an Indicated Mineral Resource.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
1. All drill holes are designed to intersect the target at, or near right angles.
2. Each drill hole has not deviated significantly from the planned drill hole
path.
3. The true thickness of the mineralisation in 3D is correctly accounted for
during the interpretation and estimation process.
Sample security 1. Sample security protocols follow standard Tritton Operations
procedures whereby samples are secured within calico bags and
transported to the sample processing laboratory in Orange NSW via a
courier service or with company personnel. Samples received by the
laboratory are confirmed on arrival and any discrepancies are
immediately resolved through consultation with Aeris Resources.
Audits or reviews 1. Data is validated when uploading into the company AcQuire
database.
2. Aeris conducts regular reviews of the database. Any inconsistencies
were resolved to the Competent Person’s satisfaction.

Geology 1. Regionally, mineralisation is hosted within early to mid-Ordovician
turbidite sediments, forming part of the Girilambone Group.
Mineralisation is hosted within greenschist facies, ductile deformed
pelitic to psammitic sediments, and sparse zones of coarser sandstones.
2. A total of nine sulphide lenses have been modelled to date. Of these,
seven have had recent diamond drilling and five have had level
18
Criteria Commentary
development since mineralisation was first intersected in December
2022. Mineralised lodes generally strike north north-west and steeply dip
to the east at 80 degrees, except where controlled by mafic volcanics.
All mineralised lodes are defined by a >0.5% copper grade shell, with
diamond drill core photos, structural and geological mapping, wall
sampling and sludge/production hole logging used to further define the
geometry of the lodes, where assay data was not available at time of
interpretation. Interpreted mineralised lenses are all in fresh rock below
the base of weathering. The top of the currently defined mineralisation
is approximately 80 m below surface (5125 mRL). Potential economic
mineralisation occurs in the weathered zone, however, modelling in this
zone has yet to be completed.
Drill hole information 1. All relevant information pertaining to each drill hole has been provided
in the tables with this announcement.
Data aggregation
methods
1. All assay results reported represent length-weighted composited assays.
2. Mineralised intercepts for Cu are averaged within a contiguous interval
above a 0.5% Cu cut-off grade with a maximum of 3m of internal
dilution.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
1. Drill holes are designed to intersect the target horizon across strike at or
near right angles.
2. The true thickness of the mineralisation in 3D is correctly accounted for
based on current orebody orientations
Diagrams 1. Relevant diagrams are included in the body of the report.
Balanced reporting 1. The reporting is considered balanced and all associated material
information has been disclosed.
