MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (MRE)
Information in this Presentation that relates to exploration results, the data and geological interpretation used as the basis of
the mineral resources was reported by Ballard on the 26 February 2026 and for which the consent of the Competent Person
Mr Todd Hibberd was obtained. Ballard confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the
information included in the 26 February 2026 announcement.
Information in this Presentation that relates to the gold mineral resource estimate at the Mt Ida Project was reported by
Ballard on the 26 February 2026, and for which the consent of the Competent Person Mr Michael Andrew was obtained.
Ballard confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the 26
February 2026 announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral
resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Past Exploration results and Mineral Resource Estimates reported in this announcement have been previously prepared and
disclosed by Ballard in the IPO Prospectus.
JORC CODE DIFFERS FROM REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES
It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with
the JORC Code. Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of the
Company in this presentation comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other
countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects)
of the Canadian Securities Administrators or (ii) Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, which governs disclosure of mineral reserves
in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Presentation
describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting
and disclosure requirements of other countries. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” in this
Presentation will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will be
able to legally and economically extract them.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All dollar amounts are in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
EFFECT OF ROUNDING
The figures in this Presentation may be subject to rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ

BALDOCK DEPOSIT GROWTH POTENTIAL
• Mt Ida considered analogous to Gold Fields’
+10Moz Agnew gold camp by renowned
Structural Geologist Dr Sarah Jones
o Same greenstone belt, same granite
intrusion
• Agnew 1.4km deep1 mine ~150km north
• Ora Banda Riverina Deeps +1km2 deep
mineralised system ~80km south
• Agnew and Ora Banda are located on the
same greenstone belt as Mt Ida
Orogenic deposits plumb deep

REGIONAL UPSIDE
• Initially targeting growth at existing “Satellite Resources”
o Provide additional production uplift to baseload feed
from Baldock
o Expected to be (initial) open pits which also provide
oxide/transitional blending source
o Early data collection for metallurgy and geotechnical
studies
• Planned Exploration workstreams:
o Geochemical review of existing and new datasets
o Geophysics (down hole and surface) to inform deeper
drilling
o Systematic drilling throughout all of CY2026

DFS & FID WINDOW
Baldock does the “heavy lifting”. Provides
base load feed for the Project
Indicated Resource of 669koz at 3.7g/t is
expected to provide a Maiden Ore
Reserve base for first 5-6 Years
*Final Investment Decision (“FID”) is contingent on the timing of scale addition arising from Baldock extensional and regional drilling and the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”).
220,000m drill program in CY2026
targeting:
1. Additional mine life at Baldock
2. Production uplift in addition to Baldock
from regional prospects (satellite deposits)
Top-down Goal: 100kozpa for 8-10 years
MRE of 1.5 - 2.0 Moz will support this
Entire Ballard workforce incentivised with
this MRE target
PLAN A – Standalone.
1.5Moz MRE targeted SepQ: Will give visibility over initial ~8 Year Mine Life, with first ~5 Years in Reserve
ASX: BM1
FULLY PERMITTED
