Genesis Minerals Limited Announces Updated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Estimates Genesis Minerals Limited announced updated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimates, which further underpin Genesis' "ASPIRE 400" growth strategy. At 31st December 2024, Group Resources stand at 14.7Moz and Group Reserves stand at 3.7Moz. 57% of the Reserves are concentrated in just two high grade base load deposits, with 1.1Moz at Gwalia and 1.0Moz at Tower Hill. The update includes Genesis' maiden Reserve estimate of 370koz for the Westralia deposit, acquired as part of the counter- cyclical AUD 140m Dacian Gold takeover in 2022 (acquired assets also included the 3.0Mtpa Laverton mill and Jupiter open pit mine). Westralia is a significant +1Moz Mineral Resource just 15km from the Laverton mill. The system is continuously mineralised for more than 4km and remains open to the north and at depth. Genesis has re-built Westralia's Resource and Reserves assuming bulk open-pit mining executed by the low-cost Genesis Mining Services (GMS) division. Genesis' approach contrasts with the previous owners' application of selective underground mining executed by an external mining contractor. approach aligns with Westralia's halcyon days. Open pit mining delivered production of 917koz at an average grade of 3.2g/t from 1988 to 1999 (refer to Dacian ASX announcement 22nd October 2012 "Dacian Gold Limited - Prospectus"). Next steps include at Westralia include closer-spaced "future-proof" drilling. The 12% increase in Group Reserves to 3.7Moz further motivates Genesis' "ASPIRE 400" accelerated growth strategy to bring production forward ahead of the 10-year production outlook. Options under investigation include: Optimisation studies; Staged expansion studies; Earlier milling of stockpiles (approximately 8Mt /280koz by Fiscal Year 2029 in the 10-year production outlook) Drilling Update: Genesis reported another round of strong drilling results from the prolific Leonora /Laverton District in Western Australia. Recent drilling has delivered exceptional results from the Gwalia underground mine, the new Admiral and Hub open pit mines, and the emerging Bruno-Lewis deposit. These results bode well for future Resource and Reserve growth across the Genesis portfolio. Gwalia: Drilling has continued to infill the stoping envelope to Fiscal year 2030 as well as test for extensions to the north following Main Lode. The extensional drilling has successfully identified the continuation of mineralisation to the north at the 1720 level which is directly down dip of the highest-grade drill result within the Gwalia deposit (10,800g/t). The infill drilling continues to demonstrate the consistent high grade nature of the Gwalia deposit and serves to underpin the mine's future. Excitingly, drilling is now pivoting to in-mine exploration in the Uppers, an area previously mined down to the 1,000m level. Initial drill plans will use wide spaced holes to test conceptual targets, noting minimal exploration has been conducted in this area. Admiral: Continued grade control as well as Resource extension drilling at Admiral has shown both high grade infill for the immediate mine plan as well as growth potential outside of the current designed pits. With the growing open pit now well established, the focus for drilling has shifted to testing for extensions to the mineralisation to potentially bring additional ounces into the mine plan. The Admiral mineralisation system is well understood with the highest grades occurring at the intersection of mineralised shears and magnetic dolerites. These intersections will form the initial areas of testing with along strike and down dip drillholes planned. Hub: The first phase of Genesis' grade control drilling at Hub is now complete with the results confirming the high-grade nature of the vertical ore body. Pleasingly, drilling under the northern pit has demonstrated high grade mineralisation extends below the current mine design and remains open down dip. Recent drilling has demonstrated that the southern end of the deposit extends to depth, with further drilling planned to further test this area. Bruno-Lewis: The first phase of drilling under Genesis ownership has been very successful, highlighting the significant scale and shallow depth of a large mineralised system. These results have been used to inform the updated Resource and have helped refine the orientation of the mineralisation. Bruno Lewis has a strike of over 2km and a width of over 500m with drilling outside of the footprint indicating there may be extensions outside of the current Resource. A supergene enrichment zone extends across the deposit at shallow depth as well as primary mineralisation that is associated with felsic porphyries. These structures have seen minimal testing at depth with the deepest hole only extending to 220m deep. Minerals Resource Update: The updated 2025 Genesis Minerals Resources Estimate is 210 Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 14.7 Moz which is which is a slight decrease from the previous 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate of 230 Mt @ 2.1 g/t Au for 15.2 Moz. The Material Information for these new Mineral Resource models is included in following sections. All other Mineral Resources have been the subject of previous ASX Announcements. The updated Mineral Resource Estimates are for the Tower Hill, Gwalia, Ulysses, Admiral Group, Puzzle Group, Westralia, Jupiter, Aphrodite, Cardinia West and Hub Resources. Key changes to the Mineral Resources from 2024 are: Negligible decrease of 20koz in the Gwalia Mineral Resource Estimate after depletion. The Tower Hill Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) increased 96koz following a drill campaign completed in 2024. Ulysses - MRE decrease of 136koz The in situ resources have been reported within an optimised pit shell at a 0.40 g/t Au cut-off based on Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral resources. The underground Mineral Resource has been reported within Mineable Shape Optimisations (MSOs) generated at 2.0 g/t Au cut-off, with no assumptions made for mining dilution. Previous underground Mineral Resources at Ulysses were not reported within MSOs and has resulted in material unlikely to be mined being excluded from the updated resource inventory.

Silver Lake Shelves Investor Meetings over $656 Million St Barbara Takeover Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR) has cancelled investor meetings this week about its $656 million bid for gold miner St Barbara Limited (ASX:SBM), fuelling suggestions that it could be about to walk away from the target. Royal Bank of Canada was arranging meetings with Silver Lake investors for this week, with various executives of the company in Australia this month for the Macquarie Australia Conference that was held recently. Sources close to Silver Lake played down the cancellation of the meetings, saying there was no clarity on the status of the deal. However, some have interpreted the move as a signal that the company has cooled on the target. Raleigh Finlayson’s Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX:GMD) told the market on May 15, 2023 that it would accelerate an earlier agreed deferred payment and add an extra five million of its own shares to the offer, adding up to about $6.2 million. Previously, Genesis Minerals was offering a further 52.2 million shares to St Barbara, but only when its Tower Hill deposit produces its first ore.
