New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 26% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (37% accrual ratio).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$161.2m (US$97.4m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (37% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (24% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$161.2m market cap, or US$97.4m). New Risk • Feb 21
New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 37% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (37% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (24% increase in shares outstanding). Major Estimate Revision • Feb 20

AIC Mines Limited Announces Outstanding Drilling Results from the Jumbuck, Squatter and Billabong Shoots At the Jericho Copper Project AIC Mines Limited announced outstanding drilling results from the Jumbuck, Squatter and Billabong shoots at the Jericho Copper Project. The Jericho copper deposit is located 4 kilometres south of the Eloise Copper Mine and processing plant. Jericho mine development studies and Eloise processing plant expansion studies are currently underway. Development is expected to commence in 2024 subject to permitting. The Jericho deposit currently has a strike length of 2.3 kilometres. It commences at approximately 50m below surface and extends to a vertical depth of 550m below surface. It occurs in two parallel lenses - J1 and J2 with higher grade shoots within these lenses, namely Jumbuck, Matilda, Billabong and now Squatter. Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. Resource Extension and Definition Drilling: A diamond and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program targeting extensions to the Jericho resource and infill of high-priority areas of the Jericho resource was completed in September 2023. A total of 38 diamond holes for 9,334m and 42 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 7,357m were completed. All of the assay results have now been received. The aim of the drilling was to: Convert higher-grade areas of the Inferred Resource above the -100mRL to Indicated Resource category via a drill spacing of 50m by 50m; Investigate strike extensions, both north and south, along the J1 and J2 Lenses; Test the down-plunge continuation of the high-grade Jumbuck shoot; and Test the Jericho North target. All of these aims have been achieved. The results will be used to update the Jericho Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves estimates and also further optimise the current mine plan. Jumbuck: Resource extension drilling has successfully traced the high-grade Jumbuck shoot a further 200m down-plunge. Significant intercepts include: JEDD024 - 5.5m (3.8m ETW) grading 1.45% Cu, 0.19g/t Au and 2.07g/t Ag from 506.55m; and JEDD034 - 7.4m (4.8m ETW) grading 3.30% Cu, 0.44g/t Au and 4.45g/t Ag from 487.85m The Jumbuck shoot is now defined to a vertical depth of 500m below surface and remains open at depth. In addition, resource definition drilling at Jumbuck has successfully extended the zone of high-grade mineralisation below the current Ore Reserve limits. Significant intercepts include: JEDD030 - 6.5m (4.5m ETW) grading 2.65% Cu, 0.67g/t Au and 4.07g/t Ag from 246.0m; JEDD031 - 5.6m (3.1m ETW) grading 2.50% Cu, 0.32g/t Au and 2.34g/t Ag from 254.65m; JERC041 - 6.0m (3.8m ETW) grading 2.70% Cu, 0.96g/t Au and 2.68g/t Ag from 75m; and JERC042 - 5.0m (2.7m ETW) grading 3.10% Cu, 2.91g/t Au and 4.80g/t Ag from 102m. Squatter: Drilling between the Jumbuck and Matilda shoots has returned high-grade results. In particular, the area south of Matilda and above the 0mRL has returned several high-grade intercepts, within a larger mineralised envelope, defining what is now termed the Squatter shoot. Significant intercepts include: JERC032 - 3.0m (2.2m ETW) grading 2.50% Cu, 0.51g/t Au and 2.33g/t Ag from 132m; and JERC033 - 3.0m (2.0m ETW) grading 3.50% Cu, 0.30g/t Au and 3.17g/t Ag from 168m. Billabong: Resource definition drilling of the Billabong shoot has extended the higher-grade zone above the 0mRL and also intersected thicker zones of mineralisation. Significant intercepts include: JERC034 - 18.0m (10.5m ETW) grading 1.40% Cu, 0.11g/t Au and 1.76g/t Ag from 133m; including 3.0m (2.4m ETW) grading 2.30% Cu, 0.13g/t Au and 3.0g/t Ag from 148m; JERC035 - 2.0m (1.4m ETW) grading 2.40% Cu, 0.33g/t Au and 2.95g/t Au from 204m; JERC037 - 10.0m (6.9m ETW) grading 1.30% Cu, 0.28g/t Au and 1.41g/t Ag from 160m; and including 2.0m (1.3m ETW) grading 2.90% Cu, 0.38g/t Au and 3.20g/t Ag from 165m.

There is no drilling between the top of the Lens 6 resource (z200 Level) and the Levuka Upper zone (100mRL), a gap of 300m vertical metres. AIC Mines has planned a step-out drill program, on 100m spacings, to test the up-dip continuation of the Lens 6 mineralisation as well as DHEM (Down Hole Electromagnetic) surveys. This campaign is scheduled to be drilled from drill platforms on the 0m Level and z100 Level during the second half of Fiscal Year 24. Ongoing evaluation of the Eloise drillhole database continues to identify opportunities for Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve growth. AIC Mines currently has two drill rigs underground at Eloise. One rig is dedicated to exploration drilling to the east and west of the mine workings. The other rig is focused on Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve definition drilling. Lens 6 demonstrates the potential for additional mineralisation in the east and west corridors. The in-mine EM loop, currently under construction at Eloise, will be a rapid, cost-effective way of testing large undrilled areas deeper in the mine for parallel lenses and structural offsets of known lenses. Underground Development and Mine Planning: Underground development into Lens 6 commenced in September 2023 from the z275 and z305 Levels and first development ore was mined in October 2023. A total of 157m of access and ore development has since been completed. Being immediately adjacent to active mine workings, no new capital infrastructure is required for Lens 6 development and production. The Lens 6 mining method will be a bottom-up modified Avoca method upwards from the z305 and longitudinal sublevel caving method downward from z305 post completion of the upward sequence. The selected stoping methods provide operational flexibility given the deposit is open both up and down dip. Stoping in Lens 6 is due to commence in the June 2024 Quarter. Duyuru • Sep 27

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$152.6m (US$98.5m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 13% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (183% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding).

AIC Mines Limited Announces Results of Its Re-Estimate of the Jericho Mineral Resource AIC Mines Limited announce the results of its re-estimate of the Jericho Mineral Resource following completion of the takeover of Demetallica Limited (‘Demetallica’). The AIC Mines estimate uses a higher cut-off grade than that used by Demetallica (1.0% Cu compared to 0.85% Cu) and is constrained within optimised stope shapes to better reflect the proposed mining method. The new estimate is more robust and better suited to mine planning. The outcome is in-line with expectations based on work previously conducted by AIC Mines as part of its acquisition due diligence. Jericho Mineral Resources are estimated at 9.8 million tonnes grading 1.8% copper and 0.4g/t gold containing 180,000 tonnes of copper and 110,600 ounces of gold. The Mineral Resource remains open both along strike and depth. The Mineral Resource is constrained by drilling to a vertical depth of 550m below surface. This compares to the Eloise deposit which is known to extend to 1,800m below surface. Jericho plus Eloise combined Mineral Resources now total 14.6 million tonnes grading 2.0% copper and 0.6g/t gold containing 295,000 tonnes of copper and 210,700 ounces of gold. Having received full access to the Jericho drillhole database following completion of the takeover of Demetallica, AIC Mines has completed a new Mineral Resource estimate using similar estimation practices and assumptions to those used at its Eloise mine. The Jericho deposit is located approximately 4km south of the Eloise mine and exhibits similar geological, mining and metallurgical characteristics to the Eloise mine. The Mineral Resource estimate is based on a long-term copper price of AUD 10,500/t and is reported and classified in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The Jericho Mineral Resource has a strike length of over 2.3 kilometres, commencing at 50m below the surface level (BSL) and extends to a vertical depth of 550m BSL. High grade mineralisation (>2% Cu) has a shallow 30O north plunge and is open at depth. There is opportunity to extend the high-grade mineralisation along strike and at depth with additional drilling. Compared to the previous Mineral Resource Estimate conducted by Demetallica, the AIC Mines Mineral Resource Estimate contains less tonnes at a higher grade for an overall slight decrease in contained copper, gold and silver. The differences between the two estimates are due to: · An economic cut-off grade of 1% Cu was used for the new estimate. The previous estimate used an economic cut-off grade of 0.85% Cu. · Reassessment of the geological interpretation using the same structural framework observed and mined at the Eloise underground mine, resulted in mineralised lenses being more tightly constrained. · Datamine MSO stope optimiser software was used to identify resource blocks that met the criteria of reasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE). This was not undertaken previously. · Evaluation of minimum mining width. This was not undertaken previously. Development of the Jericho deposit will be transformational for Eloise. It offers the potential to: · increase mine life to over 10 years · increase annual production to over 20,000t Cu and 10,000oz Au in concentrate (a 60% increase on current production rate) · reduce reliance on the Eloise Deeps thereby de-risking ore production · reduce AISC through economies of scale Environmental permitting work has commenced. This work is being led by specialist consultants Epic Environmental in partnership with Engeny. Mining studies to commence this week following the engagement of Orelogy Ltd. A processing plant expansion optimisation study is due to commence shortly following the engagement of GR Engineering Services. The aim of the optimisation study is to decide the optimum processing plant expansion (from current 750ktpa capacity) expected to be in the range of 1.0 - 1.4Mtpa. Current expectations are that development of the Jericho mine could commence early in CY24 with first ore accessed early in CY25. AIC Mines is however closely monitoring the current operating environment and cost inflation pressures to decide the best timing and strategy for developing the Jericho mine and expanding the Eloise processing plant. A program of resource definition (infill) and extension drilling is being planned for Jericho. Resource definition drilling to upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources will provide a larger base for ultimate conversion to Probable Reserves. Extension drilling is expected to extend the known high-grade lenses at depth and drilling along strike has the potential to locate additional high-grade lenses. The Jericho resource is currently constrained by drilling to a vertical depth of 550m below surface. This compares to the Eloise deposit which is known to extend to 1,800m below surface. There is approximately 7.8Mt of Mineral Inventory at Jericho (above a 1% Cu cut-off and within optimised stope shapes) that is insufficiently drilled to qualify as Inferred Resource. This inventory provides an excellent opportunity to extend the Jericho Mineral Resource with infill drilling. Duyuru • Jan 31

AIC Mines Limited Announces Drilling Results from Lamil Gold-Copper Project AIC Mines Limited announced assay results from diamond and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling at the Lamil Gold-Copper Joint Venture Project located 30 kilometres west of the Telfer Gold-Copper Mine in the highly prospective Paterson Province of Western Australia. Lamil Joint Venture (50% AIC Mines) The Lamil Gold-Copper Project is located in the Paterson Province in the northwest of Western Australia, 500 kilometres east of Port Hedland. AIC Mines and Rumble Resources each hold a 50% joint venture interest in the project. The Paterson Province is one of the most highly endowed yet under-explored mineral provinces in Australia. It hosts the world-class Telfer Gold-Copper Mine and the Nifty Copper Mine and significant copper-gold discoveries at Winu and Havieron. The project covers an area of 1,280km² capturing a covered belt of Yeneena Supergroup rocks (which host mineralisation at both the Telfer and Nifty mines) bound by two deep penetrating, belt parallel NNW trending structures. Diamond Drilling: At the Goodenia Prospect, a 697m hole was drilled to test a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly underlying elevated base metal anomalism. Intervals of zinc and lead mineralization were intersected down the length of the hole. Significant intersections include: 3m grading 0.1% Pb and 0.016% Zn from 186m; 6m grading 0.09% Zn and 0.03% Pb from 322m; Including 0.5m grading 0.14% Zn and 0.063% Pb from 323.5m; 6m grading 0.21% Zn and 0.09% Pb from 474m; Including 1m grading 0.34% Zn and 0.14% Pb from 476m; and 3m grading 0.074% Zn and 0.03% Pb from 565m. Mineralisation is typically in the form of sphalerite and galena occurring as coarse-grained disseminations and in carbonate veins associated with strong dolomitic alteration of a siltstone to sandstone package. An increase in disseminated pyrite, accounting for 5% to 10% of the core, is associated with the mineralisation (at approximately 400m down hole) with the appearance of pyrrhotite with dolomite alteration below approximately 560m. These dolomite-sulphide zones appear to correlate strongly with the gravity anomalism. 50% of the drilling costs were funded by a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant. A total of four diamond holes were completed along the eastern flank of the Lamil Dome Prospect with the aim of vectoring toward copper sulphide mineralisation associated with the contact zone of extensive mafic intrusives. Two holes tested the down dip extent of the contact zone between 21ALRC0054, which returned 1m grading 2.26% Cu and 51ppb Au from 90m, and 20ALDD0006, which returned 1.4m grading 0.05% Cu. The two other holes testing the northern extension of the flank. The two holes following up the better results continued to return elevated copper and gold over narrow intervals, as detailed below: Hole 22ALDD0008; 1m grading 0.11% Cu from 80m; and 2m grading 0.02% Cu from 505m Hole 22ALDD0009. 0.65m grading 0.05% Cu from 139.6m; and 0.7m grading 0.09% Cu and 0.1% Pb from 207.3m Drilling has now demonstrated the eastern flank of the Lamil Dome Prospect is composed of several mafic intrusive bodies which appear to narrow to the north and south. Drilling has defined a central zone of notable intervals over about 2 kilometres of strike associated with strong alteration. Down-hole electromagnetic surveys ("DHEM") conducted in holes 22 ALDD008 and 22ALDD009, did not detect any conductors. Reverse Circulation Drilling: At the Sundew Prospect, six holes on a 750m spacing were drilled to test for potential Telfer style gold-copper mineralisation beneath a multi-element soil anomaly. This anomaly coincided with an interpreted antiform composed of the prospective Malu and Isdell formation rocks (including the Telfer Member host to the Telfer Gold mine), adjacent to the regionally significant Parallel Fault. Intervals of elevated copper and gold where intersected in three holes closest to the axis of the antiform, as detailed below. Hole 22ALRC0095; 5m grading 0.13% Cu from 152m; and 3m grading 0.16% Cu from 160m Hole 22ALRC0098; 8m grading 0.03% Cu from 112 Hole 22ALRC0099; 4m grading 0.02% Cu from 176m. At the Flame Pea South Prospect, twelve holes were completed testing significant magnetic anomalies on the western limb of an interpreted regionally extensive anticline. Two holes targeting a discrete magnetic anomaly under Permian cover at the southern portion of the targets intersected elevated copper and gold, as detailed below: Hole 22ALRC0111. 1m grading 0.04% Cu from 120 Hole 22ALRC0113. 40m grading 0.04% Cu from 120m; Including 4m grading 0.12% Cu from 128m. The broad interval in 22ALRC0113 is hosted by a zone of intense albite and hematite alteration within a mafic unit, suggesting the magnetic anomaly is related to an extensive mafic intrusive, analogous perhaps to the Lamil Dome eastern flank. Lamil Joint Venture. AIC Mines has completed its expenditure requirements to earn a 50% interest in the project and has not elected to continue sole funding. AIC Mines and joint venture partner Rumble Resources ("Rumble") each now hold a 50% interest and contribute equally to exploration expenditure.

AIC Mines Limited Provides Update on Surface Exploration Drilling at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland AIC Mines Limited provided an update on surface exploration drilling at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland. A review of geophysical surveys and mineral alteration information along the West and East Corridors at Eloise indicated the potential for copper mineralization to continue to the north, below the limits of the historical drilling. As such, AIC Mines has embarked on an exploration drilling program to test the northern extents of the West and East Corridors. Five holes for 2,554m have been drilled, consisting of four holes drilled on 100m spacings at the Macy North target (West Corridor) and one hole along at the Elrose-Levuka North target (East Corridor. Exploration drilling into a sparsely drilled area has intersected copper mineralization up to 250m north of the Macy Mineral Resource limits. Drilling at the Macy North target identified mineralization of mineable grades and widths within 100m of current underground development. Significant intercepts were returned from the Macy North target, including: MAE001A - 4 0m grading 2.52% Cu and 0.5g/t Au from 462m. MAE001A - 3.6m grading 1.14% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 509.4m. MAE001A - 2.3m grading 1.20% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 533m. MAE002 - 5.4m grading 1.45% Cu and 0.4g/t Au from 420.5m. MAE002 - 2.6m grading 1.11% Cu and 0.2g/t Au from 429.5m. MAE002 - 2.0m grading 1.31% Cu and 0.2g/t Au from 436m. MAE003 - 1.0m grading 1.37% Cu and 3.5g/t Au from 297m. MAE003 - 1.0m grading 1.50% Cu and 0.04g/t Au from 385m. MAE003 - 1.0m grading 2.23% Cu and 0.5g/t Au from 465.8m. Ongoing step-out and resource definition drilling is expected to extend the Macy Mineral Resource. No significant copper mineralization was intersected on the East Corridor however alteration and iron sulphides, typically associated with mineralization at Eloise, were observed in drill core suggesting the mineral system continues to the north. Further exploration drilling on the East Corridor is required to understand mineralization potential. Importantly a coincident magnetic and gravity high remains untested. Duyuru • Oct 10

AIC Mines Limited Provides an Update on Exploration Drilling at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland AIC Mines Limited provided an update on exploration drilling at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland. A near-mine exploration program in the Deeps area comprising of 14 holes for 3,700m is in progress at the Eloise mine. The aim of the program is to test for a repetition of the mine sequence to the east of the eastern amphibolite. Mineralisation at Eloise is hosted within a strongly foliated meta-sedimentary sequence comprising arenites and schists (the mine sequence). The meta-sedimentary sequence also contains a coarse-grained amphibolite, possibly representing an early intrusion of gabbroic composition, that is not mineralised. To date, 8 holes for a total of 2,062.3 m have been drilled. All holes were collared from the Deeps z275mRL access (1,465m below surface level) and were spaced 50m apart. Drilling has intersected a high-grade copper-gold lens (Lens 6) located approximately 150m northeast and 100m below the current Deeps mining level (z305mRL). Significant intercepts include: ED226 27.6m (20.7m ETW) grading 4.14% Cu, ED227 5.2m (3.9m ETW) grading 1.89% Cu and 1.23g/t Au, ED227 2.1m (1.5m ETW) grading 2.24% Cu and 1.05g/t Au, ED227 1.9m (1.4m) grading 2.52% Cu and 1.30g/t Au, ED228A 2.2m (1.6m ETW) grading 2.30% Cu, ED228A 4.0m (3.0m ETW) grading 1.94% Cu, ED228A 15.8m (11.8m ETW) grading 1.87% Cu, ED228A 2.1m (1.6m ETW) grading 1.60% Cu, ED229 7.3m (5.5m ETW) grading 1.54% Cu, ED229 4.4m (3.3m ETW) grading 1.97% Cu, ED230 10.2m (7.7m ETW) grading 3.44% Cu, ED230 2.0m (1.5m ETW) grading 1.59% Cu, ED232 24.5m (18.3m ETW) grading 4.41% Cu and ED232 2.9m (2.2m ETW) grading 2.42% Cu. Further information on the collar coordinates and assay results is reported in Appendix 1 and 2, included at the end of this announcement. Prior to the current drilling program, the Lens 6 area had not been methodically tested. Only four holes had been drilled east of the eastern amphibolite over a 500m vertical extent. The Lens 6 mineralisation remains open up and down dip and along strike. Mineralised zones at Eloise occur as steeply plunging lenticular bodies with strike lengths typically between 100m and 200m and attaining a maximum width of 25m. The main zone of mineralisation (Levuka-Eloise Deeps) demonstrates continuity down plunge over 1,500m and remains open at depth. Major Estimate Revision • Sep 20

AIC Mines Limited Announces Drilling Commences at the Marymia Gold & Copper Project, WA AIC Mines Limited provided an update on exploration activity at its Marymia Gold and Copper Project located 200km north of Meekatharra in Western Australia. Marymia Project (predominantly 100% owned tenements) AIC Mines holds over 2,171km2 of tenure located about 790 kilometres northeast of Perth on the northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. The project includes 100% owned tenements and a joint venture with Venus Metals Corporation Limited. The Marymia Project is prospective for both gold and copper deposits. It is strategically located within trucking distance of the Plutonic Gold Mine and the DeGrussa Copper Mine. Drilling: The Copper Hills Belt (100% AIC Mines) is an interpreted preserved portion of Paleoproterozoic basin rocks, equivalent to the Bryah or Padbury basins, accreted to the northern margin of the Archean Plutonic Marymia Greenstone Belt (PMGB). A program of wide-spaced RC drilling was completed in 2021 testing for primary copper sulphide mineralisation below an historical seven kilometre trend of copper oxide mineralisation. The drilling confirmed the presence of copper sulphide mineralisation associated with quartz-sulphide stockwork veins in a package of mafic and felsic schists. An RC drilling program of 6 holes for approximately 2,000m will follow-up the anomalous intersections returned from the previous drilling program. A diamond drillhole, to test the continuation of mineralisation down dip of that intersected in RC drill hole 21ACHC007, has recently been completed with assay results awaited. Diamond drilling costs of up to $150,000 (50% of drilling costs) will be funded by a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant. At the Black Hills Prospect (100% AIC Mines) an initial program of RC drilling will follow-up an isolated historical diamond drill hole that intercepted 5m grading 2.67g/t gold from 349m. Drilling will determine the extent of mineralisation both up-dip and along strike of the intercept, which is interpreted as being hosted in the Plutonic Mine Sequence Mafic, the same rocks which host the multi-million ounce Plutonic Gold Mine (owned by Superior Gold Inc). The prospect is located approximately six kilometres to the southeast of the Plutonic Mine, where the mine sequence is interpreted to continue on a north-south trend under overthrust granite. At Middle Island (100% AIC Mines) a program of five RC drillholes for 1,000m is planned to follow-up gold anomalism in 21AMIC005, which returned a peak value of 1m grading 1.12g/t gold from the oxide zone. The drilling will also aim to test if mineralisation is associated with a major NW trending fault and an interpreted area of magnetite destruction, which is often associated with orogenic gold deposits. Geophysics: Ground gravity surveys are also being acquired at the Doolgunna North area, which lies at the southern end of the Plutonic Marymia Greenstone Belt (PMGB), and at the Minnee Target, which lies to the east of the PMGB. The surveys are infilling the wider four kilometre spaced government data with 400m by 400m spaced stations covering an area of 230km2 centred on the Doolgunna North target and 154km2 at Minnee. Data will be used for targeting the greenstones under granite at Doolgunna North and under younger Paleoproterozoic rocks at Minnee. Duyuru • Aug 22
AIC Mines Limited Announces Increase in Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves At Eloise Copper Mine AIC Mines Limited announced the Eloise Copper Mine annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (MROR) estimates as at 30 June 2022. Mineral Resources have increased to 115,000 tonnes of contained copper and 101,100 ounces of contained gold, representing an 11% increase in copper and a 7% increase in gold year-on-year net of mining depletion. Ore Reserves have increased to 36,000 tonnes of contained copper and 32,600 ounces of contained gold, representing a 19% increase in copper and a 22% increase in gold year-on-year net of mining depletion. Resource definition drilling conducted by AIC Mines since taking ownership of the Eloise Copper Mine in November 2021 has successfully increased the Mineral Resource estimate year-on-year in terms of resource tonnes and contained copper, gold and silver. The majority of the increase has been in the Deeps area (Elrose Levuka South - Lower) and from inclusion of the Emerson deposit. Total Mineral Resource tonnes have increased by 7%, contained copper by 11% and contained gold by 7% year-on-year net of mining depletion. The major changes from the Mineral Resource estimate as at 30 June 2021 to the current estimate include: Additions of 1,378,000t grading 2.3% Cu contributed by: New mineralisation intersected during resource definition drilling in the Elrose Levuka South upper areas of approximately 497,200t grading 2.8% Cu. Reassessment of the geological interpretation in the Emerson area adding approximately 880,800t grading 2.0% Cu. Decreases of 1,069,000t grading 1.9% Cu were the result of: Mining depletion of 594,000t grading 2.1% Cu. Reassessment of the geological interpretation following resource definition drilling in the Macy and Elrose Levuka North. Geotechnical and geological reassessment of the Elrose Levuka South Lower located within geotechnical stress zones close to the sublevel cave. Ore Reserves: Similar to the outcome with Mineral Resources, infill drilling and mine planning evaluation has successfully increased the Ore Reserve estimate year-on-year in terms of ore tonnes and contained copper, gold and silver. The majority of the increase has been in the Deeps area (Elrose Levuka South - Lower). Total Ore Reserve tonnes have increased by 8%, contained copper by 19% and contained gold by 22% year-on-year net of mining depletion of 594,000t grading 2.1% Cu and 0.7g/t Au. The major changes from the Ore Reserve estimate as at 30 June 2021 to the current estimate include: The break-even cut-off grades for longhole stopes was calculated at 1.4% Cu for the upper (above 0mRL) and 1.6% Cu for the lower zones (below 0mRL), compared to 1.0% Cu and 1.5% Cu used for the 30 June 2021 Ore Reserve estimate. The break-even cut-off grade for the SLC was estimated at 1.6% Cu compared to 1.5% Cu estimated for the 30 June 2021 Ore Reserve estimate. Infill drilling in Elrose Levuka South "Deeps" added 316,700t grading 3.1% Cu. This has enabled a detailed mine plan and schedule to be extended 3 years ahead of the current production level. Production from the upper areas (above 0m RL) outpaced the rate of infill drilling resulting in a decrease of 214,700t grading 2.0% Cu in the Macy and Levuka North and South areas. Drilling is currently underway in the Macy area to address this. Duyuru • Aug 08

AIC Mines Limited Provides an Update on Resource Definition Drilling and Exploration Drilling At Its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland AIC Mines Limited provided an update on resource definition drilling and exploration drilling at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland. Initial exploration drilling at the Macy North and Elrose Levuka North targets has been completed. Three holes tested for extensions of mineralisation to the north of the Macy resource (Macy North) and one hole tested the northern extension of the Elrose Levuka trend. Sulphide mineralisation was intersected in all four holes. A resource definition drilling program in the Macy area, comprising of 42 holes for approximately 5,000m, is in progress. To date, 25 holes for a total of 3,130.4m have been drilled. All holes are being collared off the Macy 700 Access (700m RL or 500mBSL). Drilling has been conducted on a 25m x 25m spacing. Results received to date have confirmed the continuity of the high-grade mineralisation in the Macy area and will upgrade the Mineral Resource from Inferred to Indicated category. An exploration drilling program has been completed at the Macy North and Elrose Levuka North targets. Three holes for 1,933.3m were drilled at Macy North and one hole for 366.4m was drilled at Elrose Levuka North. The aim of the program was to test for extensions of mineralisation to the north of the Macy resource and to test the northern extension of the Elrose Levuka trend. Sulphide mineralisation (pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) was intersected in all holes. The mineralisation and alteration style intersected at Macy North are similar in character to the five lenses that are being mined in the Macy resource area. The presence of a well-developed alteration envelope with chalcopyrite has confirmed the continuation of mineralisation up to 270m north of the current Mineral Resource limits at Macy.

AIC Mines Limited Announces Drilling Results from Eloise Deeps AIC Mines Limited reported that resource definition drilling in the Eloise Deeps area at the Company's Eloise Copper Mine continues to intersect high-grade mineralisation 75m below the low current mining level. In addition, initial observations from exploration drilling at the Macy North target are promising. Resource Definition Drilling Eloise Deeps: A resource definition drilling program in the Eloise Deeps zone, consisting of 26 holes for a total of 5,091m is in progress. All holes are being collared at the base of the decline (-315m RL or 1,505mBSL). The aim is to upgrade the resource confidence from inferred to indicated, up to 100 vertical metres below the low mining level at the z305mRL, representing the next four production levels of the sublevel cave. The program is being drilled in two phases. Phase 1 provides 50 x 50m drill spacing down to z405mRL, and 25 x 25m spacing for the next production level, z330mRL. Phase 2 provides the remaining infill drilling to complete 25 x 25m drill spacing down to the z405mRL. Phase 1 drilling is complete and Phase 2 is in progress. A drill spacing of 25 x 25m has been achieved down to the z380mRL, representing completion of drilling for the next three levels of the sublevel cave. Copper assays have been received for all of the Phase 1 holes. The results have confirmed the down plunge continuity of the high-grade mineralisation up to 75m below the base of the Indicated Resource. Recently received significant intercepts include: ED208 - 2.6m (2.5m ETW) grading 1.74% Cu and 0.34g/t Au; ED208 - 3.0m (2.9m ETW) grading 2.21% Cu and 0.26g/t Au; ED208 - 2.6 m (2.5m ETW) grading 2.72% Cu and 1.35g/t Au; ED209 - 18.5m (18.0m ETW) grading 3.42% Cu and 0.60g/t Au; ED209 - 4.9m (4.78m ETW) grading 3.46% Cu and 2.44g/t Au; ED210 - 29.7m (28.9m ETW) grading 4.01% Cu; ED210 - 4.7m (4.6m ETW) grading 3.21% Cu; ED211 - 2.0m (1.9m ETW) grading 1.70% Cu; ED212 - 4.1m (3.9m ETW) grading 3.58% Cu; ED212 - 11.0m (10.7m ETW) grading 2.94% Cu; and ED212 - 10.0m (9.80m ETW) grading 2.18% Cu. Exploration Drilling Macy North: Surface exploration drilling is currently underway at the Macy North target. Two holes for 1,150m have been completed and a third is in progress. Assay results for these holes are pending. Sulphide mineralisation (pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite) within zones of carbonate-silica-chlorite alteration was intersected in both holes. The mineralisation and alteration style are similar in character to the five lenses within the mineralised corridor that are being mined in the Macy resource area. The presence of a well-developed alteration envelope with chalcopyrite has confirmed the continuation of mineralisation up to 270m north of the current Mineral Resource limits. Duyuru • Jun 23
AIC Mines Limited Announces Drilling Commences At the Lamil Gold-Copper Project AIC Mines Limited announced that drilling has commenced at its Lamil Gold-Copper Project located 30 kilometres west of the Telfer Gold -Copper Mine in the highly prospective Paterson Province of Western Australia. The Lamil Gold-Copper Project is located in the Paterson Province in the northwest of Western Australia, 500 kilometres east of Port Hedland. The Paterson Province is one of Australia's most highly endowed yet under-explored mineral provinces. It hosts the world-class Telfer Gold-Copper Mine, the Nifty Copper Mine and the recent copper-gold discoveries at Winu by Rio Tinto and Havieron by the Greatland Gold- Newcrest JV. The Lamil Project, which covers an area of 1,280km², captures a covered belt of Yeneena Supergroup rocks. The belt is bound by two deep penetrating, belt parallel, NNW trending structures. The eastern flank of the Lamil Dome Prospect will be drilled by four diamond holes at a spacing of approximately 1km to a minimum vertical depth of approximately 400m. Wide-spaced aircore drilling completed over the dome in 2020 indicated the presence of a large albite alteration halo associated with elevated copper assays along the contact zone of an extensive mafic intrusive and metasedimentary rock. Follow-up, wide-spaced (800m lines) reverse circulation ("RC") drilling on the eastern flank in 2021 confirmed the presence of alteration and returned a best result of 1m grading 2.26% Cu and 51ppb Au from 90m, further confirming the prospectivity of this zone . The planned drilling is aimed to test the mafic intrusive contact down dip of the shallower level intercepts along its 4km strike. The drilling will be supplemented with down-hole electromagnetic surveys ("DHEM") to detect any `off-hole' massive sulphide mineralisation. At the Goodenia Prospect a 750m deep diamond hole is planned to test this conceptual base metal (Zn- Pb-Cu) target. Wide-spaced RC drilling in 2020 and 2021 intersected intervals of elevated zinc and lead in carbonaceous siltstones overlying a coincident gravity and magnetic anomaly. The RC results may represent a distal halo to a large sulphide system represented by the geophysical anomalies. A single hole is planned to intersect the centre of the modelled gravity anomaly. Drilling costs of up to $150,000 (50% of drilling costs) will be funded by a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant. The Firebush Target is located at the northern end of the project and is considered prospective for sediment-hosted Zn-Pb deposits (e.g. Warrabarty style) and Telfer gold-copper mineralisation in interpreted Isdell Formation sediments. The target lies along strike of the Rio Tinto-Carawine Resources Red Dog JV project and is defined by a discrete gravity anomaly under 160m of Permian cover rocks. A single hole targeted at the centre of the gravity anomaly is planned to test the anomaly and provide insights into the basement geology in this area. Drilling costs of up to $150,000 (50% of drilling costs) will be funded by a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant.
