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 23 September 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 23 September 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 23 September 2026, and for which the consent of the Competent Person Mr Michael Andrew and Ms Susan
Havlin was obtained. Ballard confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information
included in the 23 September 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
from the figures set out in this presentation.

+10Moz Agnew gold camp by renowned Structural
Geologist Dr Sarah Jones
o Same large granite intrusion
• Agnew 1.4km deep1 mine ~150km north
• Ora Banda Riverina mine +1km deep2 mineralised
system ~80km south
o Same greenstone belt, same geology

off date of 30 June 2026 continues to intersect
extensions to mineralisation, which will be assessed in
future MRE updates
• 115,000m of Infill drilling planned for remainder
of CY2026 - converting Inferred Resources to higher
confidence Indicated Resources
• Awaiting ~40,000 Assay Results (~8 weeks worth of
samples still in the laboratory)
