New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Australian stocks, typically moving 20% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$1.7m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (20% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 8.9% per year over the past 5 years.

Bastion Minerals Limited Provides Update on Its Scout Drilling Program At the Capote Gold Project Bastion Minerals Limited provided an update on its scout drilling program at the Capote Gold Project in the mineral-rich Atacama Region of Chile. The Company has received gold assays for an additional two diamond drill holes in its on-going drill program. The aim of this scout program is to test the six main targets across the Capote Gold Project to determine which targets have the potential for a high-grade gold discovery. Highlights: Bastion Minerals has received encouraging gold assays from two drill holes at Capote; All drill holes intersecting projected mineralised structures and all structures contained elevated gold mineralisation; Significant intersections include; 4.68m @ 2.59g/t Au from 55.32m in CPDH004B; These results confirm that the Colo Colo Target has significant potential down dip and along strike; and Drilling continues and results will be released as they come to hand. The Company's maiden drill program at the Capote Gold Project is underway. Gold assays have been received for an additional two diamond drill holes. These new results come from drill holes at the Colo Colo Prospect. Multi-element assay data is pending for all holes and will be reported as these are returned. Drilling at Colo Colo is targeting the central portion of the outcropping gold bearing vein. Drill Hole CPDH004 encountered a broad zone of anomalous gold from surface to 50m and a narrow moderate grade intercept associated with the target structure at 45m. Drill Hole CPDH004B encountered a similar broad zone of anomalous gold from surface to 35m and a 4.68m wide (true width unknown) of higher-grade gold (2.59g/t Au) from 55.32m associated with the targeted structure. Results for all three sections drilled at Colo Colo have now been returned. These results indicate that the Colo Colo vein system increases in grade at depth and to the north. Future drilling will be targeted towards expanding the higher-grade intercept in CPDH004B, once final multielement data has been returned and interpreted. Announcement • Aug 15

Bastion Minerals Limited Announces Capote Produces High Grade Gold Channel Samples Bastion Minerals Limited provided an update on its ongoing exploration program within the Capote Mining District and surrounding vein systems in the mineral rich Atacama Region of Chile. Seventy-six (76) rock-chip channel samples have been collected at key vein locations across the Capote Project. This work has been completed to help focus the up-coming drill program and assist in understanding grade variability across the mineralized structures at surface. Preliminary results have been returned for gold assays for these samples and multielement results are still pending. Full results will be reported when assays are finalised. These samples have been taken as contiguous channel samples across multiple veins being targeted by the upcoming drill program. Six vein systems were targeted as described below. The Colo Colo vein system lies in the southern portion of the Capote District. The Colo Colo vein outcrops at surface for over 300m and is covered by shallow colluvium to the north and south. Vein widths range from one to six meters. The geophysical signature (magnetics) of the vein extends for some 1.5km along strike suggesting Colo Colo could represent a significant sized vein system.

Bastion Minerals Limited Provides Update on its Ongoing Exploration Program Within the Cometa Copper Project, Located in Western Chile Bastion Minerals Limited provided this update on its ongoing exploration program within the Cometa Copper Project, located in western Chile (Cometa). The exploration program, including detailed geochemistry and geological mapping, continues to define numerous large-scale copper-gold drill targets. Highlights One-hundred and three (103) new rock-chip samples taken across multiple targets Copper assays up to 4.1% Cu. Gold assays up to 9.4g/t Au. Silver assays up to 30.7g/t Ag. Systematic exploration activities over the past 12 months at Cometa have defined six large- scale copper-gold-silver targets. Perseus Prospect (Iron Oxide Cu-Au). Previous assays to 2.53% Cu and 100g/t Ag. Orion Prospect (Cu-Au-Ag Porphyry). Previous assays to 4.42% Cu and 8.14g/t Au and 48.5g/t Ag. Aldebaran Prospect (Iron Oxide Cu-Au). Previous assays to 1.67% Cu and 109g/t Ag. Centauro Prospect (Cu-Au-Ag Porphyry). Previous assays to 3.08% Cu and 4.62g/t Au and 16.6g/t Ag. Venus Prospect (Cu-Ag Porphyry). Previous assays to 4.07% Cu and 27.4g/t Ag. Scorpion Prospect (Cu-Au-Ag Porphyry). Previous assays to 3.27% Cu and 0.75g/t Au and 85.2g/t Ag. Cometa Copper Project: The Cometa Copper Project consists of approximately 56km2 of granted mining and exploration tenements approximately 10km south of Hot Chili's Cortadera Project and approximately 40km southeast of Vallenar . Cometa is an early-stage exploration project with multiple high-grade copper targets identified from limited rock-chip sampling. Bastion will focus on bringing advanced exploration techniques to the Cometa Copper Project to discover large-scale, high-grade iron-oxide copper gold or porphyry deposits. Multiple rock-chip and mapping campaigns have been undertaken at Cometa, identifying six prospects with high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralisation across the lease. New Rock-Chips: The recent exploration program was focused on a northeast trending structural corridor that links the Scorpion, Venus and Centauro Prospects. One-hundred and three (103) rock-chip samples were collected in the sampling campaign. The average copper grade of these samples was 0.15% Cu with a maximum of 4.1% Copper (Cu). The average gold grade of these samples was 0.18g/t Au with a maximum value of 9.4g/t Gold (Au). The average silver grade of these samples was 0.73g/t Ag with a maximum of 30.7g/t Silver (Ag). Summary of work completed to date When combined with previous work, a compelling picture of multiple zones of high-grade copper-gold and silver emerges across the Cometa Copper Project. Perseus: The Perseus Prospect lies in the northern part of the Cometa Copper Project. Eighteen rock-chip samples (18) were collected at Perseus in the past 12 months displaying the geochemical signature common to low tonnage, high-grade IOCG deposits in Chile with high grade copper and silver and subdued gold results. The average copper grade of these samples is 0.51% Cu with a maximum value of 2.54% Cu. The average silver grade of these samples is 15.6g/t Ag with a maximum value of 100g/t Ag. Visible surface mineralisation at Perseus consists of copper oxides (malachite, azurite, chrysocolla and atacamite) and chalcopyrite hosted within magnetite, tourmaline, calcite bearing veins and breccias. Mapping has identified an area extending some 1.25km north south and 800m wide. Magnetic data shows a strong circular anomaly 1.5km across cut by linear magnetic highs correlating with the high-grade surface samples. Three-dimensional magnetic inversions suggest the majority of this magnetic anomaly lies at depth with narrow fingers of highly magnetic rock associated with mineralised trend. Additional work at Perseus will consist of detailed geological mapping and sampling before potential trenching and drilling. Orion: The Orion Prospect lies 3.5km southeast of Perseus in the central part of the Cometa Project. Two-hundred and twelve rock-chips (212) have been collected at Orion in the past 12 months displaying the geochemical signature common to porphyry style mineralisation. Molybdenum and bismuth values are elevated within the altered and mineralised samples suggesting an igneous source to the copper. The average copper grade of these samples is 0.25% Cu with a maximum value of 4.42% Cu. The average gold grade of these samples is 0.18g/t Au with a maximum value of 8.14g/t Au. The average silver grade of these samples is 1.05g/t Ag with a maximum value of 48.5g/t Ag. Visible surface mineralisation at Orion consists of copper oxides (atacamite, chrysocolla, brochantite and cuprite) and sulphides (chalcopyrite, bornite) hosted within chlorite, magnetite, biotite, epidote altered breccias. Fragments of porphyritic rock containing disseminated sulphides are found within the breccias. Mapping has identified an area extending some 1.5km east west and 750m north south. Magnetic data shows mineralisation at Orion is associated with the flank of a strong magnetic anomaly on the contact between a large circular intrusive and the host volcanic rocks. Additional work at Orion will consist of detailed geological mapping, sampling and potential trenching/drilling. Announcement • Mar 29
Bastion Minerals Limited Provides Update on its On-Going Exploration Program Bastion Minerals Limited provided an update on its on-going exploration program within the Capote Mining District and surrounding vein systems in the mineral rich Atacama Region of Chile. Surface Geochemistry: Forty-five (45) rock-chip samples have been collected during the past months during detailed mapping exercises, aimed at understanding the size and orientation of mineralised veins at surface. The average gold grade of the 45 samples is 1g/t with a maximum of 22.9g/t Au. The average copper value of these samples is 0.36% Cu with a maximum of 2.75% Cu. These rock-chips highlight the multicommodity potential of the Capote District, with potential for not only high-grade gold deposits, but iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits. As the gold potential of the district is focused on, Bastion Minerals will work up copper-gold targets in parallel. Next Steps: The final preparation stages of the Company's maiden drilling program are currently underway. Drilling is aimed at expanding gold mineralisation around the known historical deposits at Yayito and Resurgimiento veins and testing several new greenfield target areas. The Company will undertake an approximately 5,000-metre diamond drilling program, with a focus on testing the shallow surface expression of multiple vein systems where high-grade gold has been returned from recent rock-chip campaigns. Drill hole locations are being designed and regulatory and environmental approvals process have commenced. Announcement • Oct 02
Bastion Minerals Limited Provides Exploration Update - Capote Mining District Bastion Minerals Limited provide an update on its on-going exploration program within the Capote Mining District as it prepares for its maiden drilling program. The Company is continuing to compile and digitise the extensive database for the area with the immediate focus on the San Juan Gold Vein, and nearby veins that have never been explored with modern exploration methods. Bastion executed a Binding Framework Agreement for the execution of a Mining Purchase Option to acquire 100% of the San Juan Gold Project and surrounding licences within Capote Mining District on 26 August 2021. The Purchase Option Agreement is expected to be signed on 9th October 2021, upon the completion of due diligence. Once executed, Bastion will be able to commence its maiden drill program aimed at expanding gold mineralization around known historical deposits while testing several new greenfield target areas. Exploration work at the Capote Mining District continues to provide broad scale extensions to high-grade gold mineralization following the receipt of results from Bastion's due diligence rock-chip campaign on the San Juan, Resurgimento and Yayito Vein Systems. The objective of the due diligence rock-chip campaign was to confirm the tenor of gold mineralization on the San Juan, Resurgimento and other recognized vein systems. This data will provide focus for drilling design to highlight area's most likely of hosting larger, high-grade gold deposits. One-hundred and thirty (130) rock-chip samples have been collected during the due diligence campaign. The average gold grade of the 130 samples is 3.08g/t with a maximum of 33.6g/t Au. Recently, 18 Mining Licenses, totalling 11.5 square kilometres were acquired under an option agreement. The Capote Gold Project now comprises a package of 15 exploration and 39 Mining Licenses and approximately 88.5 square kilometres. The Capote Mining District was mined for over 300 years ending in 1954, when the gold price was less than US$350 per ounce.1 No modern exploration has been conducted. A total of 1.7 Moz Au at 52g/t gold is estimated to have been processed through the Capote Mining Operation from the San Juan Vein and the surrounding high-grade gold veins. The Capote Gold Project now consists of three main targets, the San Juan Vein System, Resurgimento Vein System, Yayito Vein System, and a series of earlier stage prospects where high-grade gold has been sampled at surface. The San Juan Vein System represents the largest high-grade gold bearing vein system in the district with over 1.5km of strike and mined to roughly 350m in depth. The vein system remains open at depth and along strike. The San Juan Vein System consists of three, broadly parallel veins, the San Juan Vein, the Santa Filomena Vein, and the Paulino Vein. These veins range in width from 0.5m to 5m and combined have a surface strike length of 1.9km. One-hundred and twenty-seven (127) rock-chip samples have been collected in total over the San Juan Vein System. The average gold grade of these samples is 2.03g/t Au with a maximum value of 64.4g/t Au. The Resurgimento Vein lies 1.4km east of San Juan. The vein system at Resurgimento extends for over 3km and has been mined in places to up to approx 150m in depth. Vein widths at Resurgimento range between 0.5 to 2m wide. Thirty-eight (38) rock- chip samples have been collected over the Resurgimento Vein System. The average grade of these 38 samples is 4.36g/t Au with a maximum value of 14.9g/t Au. The Yayito Vein System lies 1km south of, and along strike from the San Juan Vein System. The vein system at Yayito consists of numerous smaller veins forming a network where numerous small open pits and underground mines were operated. Veins widths range from 0.5m to 2m wide and extend for up to 500m in strike. One-hundred and fifty-eight (158) rock-chip samples have been collected over the Yayito Vein System. The average grade of these 158 samples is 1.59g/t Au with a maximum value of 16.1g/t Au. The final preparation stages of maiden drilling program are currently underway. Drilling is aimed at expanding gold mineralization around the known historical deposits at Yayito and Resurgimento veins and testing several new greenfield target areas. The Company will undertake approximately 5,000-metre diamond drilling program, with a focus on testing the shallow surface expression of multiple vein systems where high-grade gold has been returned from recent rock-chip campaigns.

Bastion Minerals Limited Announces Completion of High-Resolution Airborne Magnetic Survey for its Garin Copper Project Bastion Minerals Ltd. reported that processing of a detailed high-resolution airborne magnetic survey has been completed for the Company's Garin Copper Project, located in the mineral-rich Atacama mining region in northern Chile. The processing and interpretation of this data has led to the identification of several large-scale outcropping porphyry targets at Garin which have been confirmed during Bastions first field campaign on the property. Highlights: 290-line-kilometres of airborne magnetic and radiometric data collected at the Garin Project · Program has corroborated multiple large-scale copper porphyry signatures at the Garin Project identified from satellite alteration mapping · Field teams have identified porphyry veining and alteration at surface coincident with the geophysical and satellite alteration features; Field mapping campaign currently underway to determine the tenor of this new porphyry discovery; New data highlights large scale alteration zones associated with existing epithermal silver and gold surface samples and shallow artisanal workings; Detailed data integration, interpretation for drill planning is underway A helicopter borne magnetic and radiometric survey has been conducted over the entire Garin Project. The objective of this survey was to map the potential porphyry related alteration systems at Garin and expand these at depth. Regional magnetics can also provide lithological and alteration information to aid in mapping the mineralized system. There are three components to the magnetic data and when processed using sophisticated modelling and self-organising maps can clearly: Separate out structures, Highlight areas that are unusual, and Identify areas where the magnetic properties of the rocks have been changed through alteration and mineralization. Bastion is applying these cutting-edge modern exploration techniques to focus on areas in the region that show similarities to known high-grade mineralization to make new discoveries. Multiple new targets have been identified already and this data will be refined and continually reviewed to assist in providing a pipeline of additional targets for Bastion geologists to map and sample in the field.

Bastion Minerals Limited Announces Additional High-Grade Copper Rock-Chips from Cometa Bastion Minerals Limited announced to repo that assays have been received from the second rock-chip campaign at the company Cometa Copper-Gold Project, located in the mineral-rich Atacama mining region in northern Chile. Second rock-chip sampling campaign results (86 samples) confirms extensive, widespread surface high-grade copper mineralisation at the Cometa Copper-Gold Project. The second of Bastion's field campaigns have been completed and results now received at the Cometa Copper-Gold Project targeting high-grade IOCG deposits. The second field campaign at Cometa was designed to test previously unsampled areas identified from satellite alteration mapping and airborne magnetics. These areas are characterised by strong alteration and surface copper oxide mineralisation. The historic rock- chip sampling at Cometa suggests there is strong potential for high-grade IOCG deposits in the project area but had only sampled a very small portion of the district. Eighty-six (86) further samples were collected from two additional areas at Cometa to test for IOCG style copper mineralisation (Figure 2). The Average copper grade of these samples was 0.34% Cu with a maximum of 3.08% Cu. The average silver grade of these samples was 0.97g/t Ag with a maximum of 16.6g/t Ag. Gold values were generally low with a maximum of 0.75g/t Au. IOCG deposits of the Coastal Batholith of Chile are a well-known and valuable source of
copper production. The Candelaria-Punta del Cobre district contains more than 13 Mt of contained copper. The results from these two field campaigns are designed to highlight the areas with the greatest potential for large-scale IOCG mineralisation. Detailed mapping and further sampling will be conducted in the coming months to define the edges of the IOCG mineralisation and to assess the potential for an economic deposit. From this work, trenching and drilling is being planned for third quarter 2021. Announcement • May 25
Bastion Minerals Limited Announces Widespread High-Grade Copper in Rock-Chips At Cometa Bastion Minerals Limited ("Bastion" or "the Company") reported that assays have been received for the first rock-chip campaign at the Company's Cometa Copper-Gold Project, located in the mineral-rich Atacama mining region in northern Chile. Two field campaigns have been conducted at Cometa targeting high-grade iron oxide coper gold deposits. The first field campaign at Cometa was designed to test previously unsampled areas identified from satellite alteration mapping and airborne magnetics. These areas are characterised by strong alteration and surface copper oxide mineralisation. The historic rock-chipping at Cometa suggests there is strong potential for high-grade IOCG deposits in the project area, but had only sampled a very small portion of the Project. One hundred and twenty-eight (128) samples were collected from five areas at Cometa to test for IOCG style copper mineralisation (Figure 3). The Average copper grade of these
samples was 0.51% Cu with a maximum of 4.42% Cu. The average gold grade of these samples was 0.3g/t Au with a maximum of 8.14g/t Au. The average silver grade of these samples was 8.77g/t Ag with a maximum of 109g/t Ag. IOCG deposits of the Coastal Batholith of Chile are a well-known and valuable source of copper production. The Candelaria-Punta del Cobre district contains more than 13Mt of contained copper 1. The second field campaign at Cometa is designed to expand on the observations made in field campaign one and additional targets identified from satellite alteration mapping and airborne magnetics. Eighty-Five (85) samples have been collected and submitted to ALS Chile. Results are expected in the second week of June. The results from these two field campaigns are designed to highlight the areas with the greater potential for large-scale IOCG mineralisation. Detailed mapping and further sampling will be conducted in the coming months to define the edges of the IOCG mineralisation and to assess the potential for an economic deposit before initial drilling is planned.
