Arakompa

Near-mine exploration property located approximately 4.5 km from the Kainantu Gold Mine process plant, hosting a historic resource that makes it a high-priority follow-up target. A maiden surface diamond drill program commenced in 2024; first results (February 2024) and subsequent 2025 results confirmed two significant thick high-grade subparallel veins, a southern strike extension and a bulk-tonnage zone expanded by approximately 150 m to the south for a total strike length of approximately 900 m. The fifth set of results (September 2025) significantly expanded the bulk zone and identified a potential porphyry discovery within a 600 m x 600 m copper-in-soils anomaly. Arakompa is a focus of the enlarged $31-35 million 2026 surface exploration program alongside Maniape and Judd North. No current mineral resource estimate is disclosed for the property in this AIF.
