Managing Director & CEO of Peel, Nick Woolrych, commented:
“The combination of Aeris and Peel represents a compelling and logical consolidation within the Cobar Basin, providing a clear
pathway to accelerate and de-risk the development of the South Cobar Copper Project by leveraging Aeris’ operational expertise
and the high-quality Tritton processing facility.
“Peel shareholders will receive immediate value at an attractive premium and will hold approximately 20.5% of the combined
group, allowing them to benefit from the market re-rate that is expected to flow from the creation of a larger base and precious
metals producer with increased mine life and an enhanced production profile.
“In addition, Peel shareholders will benefit from the proposed demerger of the Company’s Cobar Basin exploration portfolio
through NewCo, receiving an in-specie distribution of shares in a new base and precious metals focused exploration company.
“I am excited to lead NewCo alongside the Peel management team, with a clear focus on unlocking the value of the Southern
Nights Complex and the rest of our exceptional Cobar Basin portfolio, while also pursuing accretive growth opportunities
globally at a very favourable time in the base and precious metals cycle.”
Transaction Summary
Peel Mining Limited (ASX: PEX) (Peel) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding Scheme Implementation
Deed (SID) with Aeris Resources Limited (ASX: AIS) (Aeris), under which Aeris has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued
shares of Peel by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme).
Concurrently, Peel will undertake a restructure of its remaining precious and base metal assets in the Cobar Basin,
comprising the Southern Nights Complex, exploration portfolio including May Day and Nombinnie, Peel cash net of
transaction costs and joint venture interests, into a newly-formed subsidiary of Peel (NewCo), which will be demerged
from Peel via an in-specie distribution of NewCo shares to Peel shareholders (Demerger).
The Demerger and the Scheme are inter-conditional (the Transaction). It is intended that NewCo will apply to be listed
and have its shares quoted on ASX following completion of the Demerger, and such listing is subject to the usual ASX
discretions.
The Demerger will allow Peel shareholders to retain full exposure to the value and upside of these assets through a new
ASX-listed (subject to ASX approvals) precious and base metals company, to be led by the existing Peel management
team.
Under the Transaction, Peel shareholders will receive consideration with a total value of $0.234 per share,
comprising:
1. 0.3363 Aeris shares for each Peel share held, valued at $0.19 per share5
; and
2. indicatively one NewCo share for every 4.6 Peel shares held, valued at $0.044 per Peel share6
,
(together, the Consideration).
The Consideration values Peel at $0.234 per share (based on the closing price of Aeris on 11 February 2026), including
the indicative additional value of $0.044 per share received by Peel shareholders from the NewCo shares to be
distributed to them. This valuation represents:
• 46.0% premium to Peel’s closing share price on 11 February 2026;
• 49.1% premium to Peel’s one-month VWAP up to 11 February 2026; and
• 174.8% premium to the September 2025 capital raising price of $0.085.
The Transaction will crystallise immediate value for Peel shareholders at a significant premium, while allowing
shareholders to retain full exposure to Peel’s remaining precious and base assets in the Cobar Basin through an
exploration and M&A-focused company to be listed on ASX.
5
Based on the last closing price of Aeris of $0.565 per share.

Key Benefits of the Transaction for Peel Shareholders
✓ Logical consolidation to create a diversified +500kt contained copper mining hub in the broader Cobar
region and fully utilise the potential of Aeris’ +1.8Mtpa Tritton processing plant, reducing unit costs and
eliminating the significant capital, complexity and funding risk associated with building a new processing plant
at South Cobar
✓ Immediate value realisation for Peel shareholders at a substantial premium of approximately 46.0% to
Peel’s closing share price on 11 February 2026 and 49.1% to Peel’s 1-month VWAP up to 11 February 2026,
including the additional indicative value attributable to Peel shareholders’ interest in NewCo
✓ Ownership of a larger, more liquid ASX-listed base and precious metals producer with Peel shareholders
expected to have an aggregate ownership of approximately 20.5% in the enlarged Aeris Resources, while
retaining meaningful exposure to the upside of Peel’s remaining assets through NewCo
✓ Material exposure to an enlarged combined group positioning Tritton for a 10-year life7
, with strong
potential for share price re-rating through the development of Tritton into a stable, long-life operation, and
from an enhanced market position as a larger, more liquid and more investable copper and gold producer
✓ Strong NewCo foundation asset portfolio, comprising the high-grade Southern Nights Complex (combined
MRE of 10.0Mt @ 7.69% ZnEq8
for 768kt contained ZnEq), extensive Cobar Basin exploration portfolio including
May Day and Nombinnie, Peel’s cash net of transaction costs, and joint venture interests
✓ Renewed growth strategy at NewCo, to be led by members of Peel’s existing management team and Board
and focused on organic exploration coupled with high-potential M&A across the international precious and
base metals sector
Peel Board Unanimously Recommends the Transaction
The Transaction provides a valuation for the Mallee Bull and Wirlong Copper Projects (South Cobar Copper Project) that
is materially greater than Peel’s current market capitalisation, achieved through liquid, high-quality Aeris scrip
consideration, while Peel shareholders retain full exposure to an exploration company, NewCo, to be led by Peel’s
existing management team and listed on ASX.
Peel’s management team has undertaken due diligence on Aeris’ asset base and considers that the integration of
material from the South Cobar Copper Project through the Tritton processing facility represents the most effective,
synergistic and lowest-risk pathway to unlocking its value. This development approach is also considered to be highly
value-accretive to Aeris.
Aeris has a highly regarded executive and site-based management team and is well positioned to steward the South
Cobar Copper Project through development, providing Peel shareholders with meaningful exposure to future cash-flow,
mine life extension and operational upside.
Scheme of Arrangement
The Scheme is subject to limited conditions set out in the Scheme Implementation Deed, including the following:
• Approval being obtained from Peel shareholders in relation to the Scheme (requiring approval of a majority in
number of Peel shareholders voting and approval of Peel shareholders who represent at least 75% of the total
votes cast);
• Receipt of requisite Court and other regulatory approvals;
• Any Ministerial consents required related to the internal restructure and the Scheme;
• The Independent Expert concluding that the Scheme is in the best interests of Peel shareholders and not
changing that conclusion;

Peel Demerger of NewCo
Peel and NewCo are proposing to enter into a Demerger Implementation Deed (DID), under which Peel will demerge
NewCo via an in-specie distribution of NewCo shares to Peel Shareholders and a capital reduction. Under the Demerger,
Peel shareholders will receive shares in NewCo on a pro rata basis to their holdings at the relevant record date.
Under the Demerger, Peel shareholders are currently anticipated to receive one (1) share in NewCo for every 4.6 Peel
shares they hold. The capital reduction to effect the Demerger will require Peel shareholder approval.
The composition of NewCo will include the following assets:
• the Southern Nights Complex located in the Cobar Basin (includes the Southern Nights and Wagga Tank deposits)
which contains a combined MRE of 10.0Mt @ 7.69% ZnEq9
for 768kt contained ZnEq (46% Indicated);
• the May Day deposit located in in the Cobar Basin which hosts a MRE of 1.61Mt @ 0.98g/t Au, 25g/t Ag, 0.92% Zn,
0.61% Pb for 51koz Au, 1.3Moz Ag, 15kt Zn, 10kt Pb. May Day remains open down-plunge and along strike;
• ~1,375km2
of 100% owned highly prospective exploration tenure in the Cobar Basin; and
• Peel’s cash on completion, net of transaction costs and completion adjustment, is to be transferred from Peel to
NewCo as part of the Scheme and Demerger, on implementation of the Demerger.
NewCo intends to apply for listing on the ASX (subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals) and will pursue a
strategy to unlock the value of its high quality precious and base metals assets in the Cobar Basin and pursue M&A
growth opportunities in the base and precious metals space.
Upon listing, NewCo intends to undertake a capital raising on the ASX at a proposed issue price of $0.20 per share
(Capital Raising). Euroz Hartleys and Sternship Advisers (the Underwriters) have entered into an Underwriting
Agreement with Peel (Underwriting Agreement) to underwrite (in equal proportions) the Capital Raising by NewCo for
an underwritten amount capped at $4 million. The Underwriters’ commitment is subject to typical conditions precedent
for an IPO, as well as NewCo being formed with an acceptable capital structure (anticipated to include 200 million shares
on issue prior to the Capital Raising), completion of the Transaction, and NewCo lodging a prospectus for the Capital
Raising prior to 30 September 2026. Likewise, the Underwriting Agreement is subject to termination events which entitle
the Underwriters to terminate their obligations, which events are typical for an IPO and include market fall and
commodity price fall events. An underwriting fee of 6% of the underwritten amount is payable upon successful
completion the Capital Raising.

About NewCo
The composition of NewCo will include the following assets (Figure 1):
• the Southern Nights Complex located in the Cobar Basin (includes the Southern Nights and Wagga Tank deposits)
which contains a combined MRE of 10.0Mt @ 7.69% ZnEq10
for 768kt contained ZnEq (46% Indicated);
• the May Day deposit located in in the Cobar Basin which hosts a MRE of 1.61Mt @ 0.98g/t Au, 25g/t Ag, 0.92% Zn,
0.61% Pb for 51koz Au, 1.3Moz Ag, 15kt Zn, 10kt Pb. May Day remains open down-plunge and along strike;
• ~1,375km2
of 100% owned highly prospective exploration tenure in the Cobar Basin including the Nombinnie
prospect; and
• Peel’s cash on completion, net of transaction costs and completion adjustment, is to be transferred from Peel to
NewCo as part of the Scheme and Demerger, on implementation of the Demerger.
There is strong potential to unlock significant latent value through targeted exploration, resource expansion and
disciplined pre-development work across multiple priority targets within the broader landholding.
With 100% ownership of its key assets, no third-party royalties or off-take encumbrances, and a solid cash position at
demerger, NewCo will be well positioned to pursue organic growth while also evaluating accretive M&A opportunities
in the base and precious metals space.
Southern Nights Complex
The Southern Nights Complex (SNC) is one of Peel Mining’s most exciting discoveries and comprises a silver-rich,
polymetallic mineral system.
Mineralisation at SNC is hosted within a steeply west-dipping volcanic–sedimentary sequence, typical of a
VAMS/VHMS-style polymetallic system, and occurs as a combination of massive to semi-massive sphalerite–galena–
chalcopyrite-pyrite sulphide lenses and associated footwall stringer zones over a strike length of approximately 2km
between the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights deposits, with mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.
The SNC hosts several zones of exceptionally high-grade mineralisation, including near-surface and deeper massive
sulphide shoots.
Key intercepts within the SNC system include intervals such as 18.2m @ 40.3% Zn, 15.7% Pb, 356g/t Ag, 0.97% Cu and
2.77g/t Au, confirming the presence of ultra high-tenor polymetallic sulphide bodies consistent with Cobar Basin
mineral systems.
These results underpin the strong potential for further resource growth and the emergence of SNC as a significant
polymetallic deposit within the region.
Updated in April 2025, the Project’s combined Mineral Resource Estimate 11
stands at 9.99Mt at 0.35% Cu, 0.41g/t Au,
52g/t Ag, 1.19% Pb and 2.78% Zn, containing 16.8 million ounces of silver, 277,000 tonnes of zinc, 119,000 tonnes of
lead, 35,400 tonnes of copper and 131,000 ounces of gold.
SNC is positioned as a major emerging polymetallic asset with strong leverage to rising silver prices and growing global
demand for critical minerals. SNC represents a large, high-grade, long-life growth project with significant upside that
can deliver strong value through ongoing exploration.

SNC Drilling Program (now underway)
Link Zone (Primary Focus Area)
A sequence of five Reverse Circulation-Diamond (RCD) drill-holes will test for step-out extensions adjacent to high-grade
massive sulphide intercepts. The Link Zone offers strong growth potential, with the mineralisation remaining open to
the north and at depth.
Link Zone South
RC drilling will target the up-dip and northern extensions of high-grade mineralisation at the stratigraphic Wagga Tank
Formation–Vivigani contact at Link Zone South. Historical results include high-grade silver-zinc-lead intervals that have
not yet been adequately drill tested.
Southern Nights West
One RCD drill-hole will test a strong, unexplained IP chargeability anomaly situated west of Southern Nights.
The anomaly is modelled close to the prospective stratigraphic Wagga Tank Formation–Vivigani contact.
Wagga Tank South
One diamond tail extending historic drill-hole WTRCDD228 will step out from previous high-grade massive sulphide
intercepts, testing the down-plunge potential at Wagga Tank South.

Nombinnie
A recently completed drilling program at the Nombinnie Prospect (Nombinnie) (See ASX PEX announcements:
“Nombinnie Exploration Update” dated 27th November 2025 and “More significant gold intersected at Nombinnie
dated 13th January 2026), provides a strong platform for further gold dominant exploration success at this
project.
Located approximately 7km west of Mount Hope in central New South Wales. The Nombinnie Prospect lies on a
volcanic–sedimentary contact within the Mt Halfway Volcanics of the Mount Hope Group. The area was first
prospected for gold at the turn of the 20th century, with numerous shafts and shallow workings present.
The program marks the first drilling undertaken by Peel at Nombinnie and follows recent exploration success
highlighting significant mineralisation extending both down-dip and along strike from the historical gold
workings.
The 2,706m drilling program was designed to confirm the prospectivity indicated both by historical drilling and
recent exploration activities with results reinforcing Nombinnie as a highly promising and emerging gold target
within Peel’s Cobar Basin portfolio in NSW.
Notable gold intercepts from the program include:
• 33m @ 2.47g/t Au from 21m including:
o 9m @ 3.10g/t Au from 22m; and
o 9m @ 5.32g/t Au from 42m in NBRC002
• 13m @ 0.63g/t Au from 1m, and 7m @ 0.73g/t Au from 25m in NBRC006

May Day
The May Day Project is a 100% owned, near-mine polymetallic exploration asset located on granted Mining Lease
ML1361 approximately 9 km west of the Mallee Bull deposit.
May Day hosts a MRE of 1.61Mt @ 0.98g/t Au, 25g/t Ag, 0.92% Zn, 0.61% Pb (for 51koz Au, 1.3Moz Ag, 15kt Zn,
10kt Pb) of which 97% is classified as Indicated. May Day remains open down-plunge and along strike.
The Project hosts a shallow historic gold pit mined in the 1990s and is interpreted to represent a VMS-style
mineralised system developed within a steeply dipping, strongly altered and locally brecciated siltstone–
volcaniclastic sequence. Drilling completed to date has confirmed the presence of primary sulphide
mineralisation at depth, including pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, with gold and silver closely
associated with galena and tetrahedrite.
Mineralisation remains open along strike and down-dip, and recent RC pre-collar and diamond tail drilling has
been undertaken to test extensions beneath the historic workings, highlighting May Day as a key near-term
exploration opportunity within the broader South Cobar portfolio.
