Antimony Results and
Worley Engagement Advancing
Processing Pathways
Felix Gold Limited (ASX: FXG) is pleased to report additional drilling results from the NW Array
antimony-gold prospect at the Treasure Creek Project in the Fairbanks Mining District, Alaska, including
3.04m @ 6.3% Sb. Multiple drill holes confirm the continuity of high-grade stibnite veining exposed in
trenching earlier this year, with a shorter parallel footwall vein structure also identified. These and other
results support the model of multiple, sub-parallel antimony-bearing vein structures within the mineralised
system, adding to the overall mineralisation inventory as the Company advances toward bulk sampling. In
addition Worley has been engaged to conduct site smelter site selection and investigate potential fast
tracking metal production through toll treatment options.
Highlights
Antimony Result
● Multiple holes confirm continuity of high-grade stibnite vein zone exposed in trench 25NWTR005
● 3.04m @ 6.3% Sb from 36.58m (25TCRC029)
● 6.09m @ 2.59% Sb from 21.34m (25TCRC016)
● 3.05m @ 3.54% Sb from 15.24m (25TCRC026)
● Parallel footwall vein zone identified with grades up to 5.89% Sb over 1.53m
● High-grade breccia-style mineralisation intersection of 7.54m @ 2.47% Sb (25TCDC003)
● Results support model of multiple stacked vein structures; system remains open
● Gold assay results pending for a substantial number of holes; news flow expected through Q1 2026
Worley Engagement
● Worley has been engaged to advance U.S. site selection for Felix Gold’s own processing facility
while simultaneously assessing potential toll-treatment options, with the objective to create parallel
pathways that preserve strategic control and accelerate the timeline to first metal.
Felix Gold’s Executive Director, Joe Webb, commented:
Felix Gold continues to execute rapidly across the full value chain, with technical, permitting, and
downstream workstreams advancing in parallel with the objective to accelerate the pathway to first metal
while preserving long-term strategic optionality. Engineering and baseline programs have now progressed to
a point where downstream processing decisions are transitioning from conceptual assessment to
site-selection and execution planning, with Worley engaged to advance U.S. site selection for the
Company’s own processing facility while simultaneously assessing potential toll-treatment options.
Recent drilling continues to validate and expand the NW Array geological model. Multiple holes have
confirmed strong continuity of the high-grade vein zone exposed in trenching, while the identification of
parallel footwall zones and broader breccia-hosted mineralisation supports the interpretation of a stacked,
corridor-scale system that remains open along strike and at depth. This work is directly increasing the

inventory capable of feeding a U.S. domestic antimony supply chain, with ore supply—rather than
processing capacity—representing the true bottleneck to near-term production.
The Company is advancing toward near-term production through bulk sampling, with commencement
targeted as soon as practicable following receipt of necessary permits and Board approval. Subject to these
approvals, the project is positioning with the objective for a transition from bulk sampling into sustained
operations.
Felix Gold is making rapid, coordinated progress across all critical workstreams as it advances toward first
metal, with multiple near-term catalysts spanning drilling results, bulk sampling readiness, metallurgy,
downstream processing and permitting. Extensive gold and antimony assays are pending, baseline and
engineering programs are well advanced, and metallurgical work continues to confirm the ability to produce
military-grade concentrate through simple processing.
In parallel, Worley has been engaged to progress U.S. site selection for the Company’s own processing
facility while also assessing toll-treatment options, providing parallel pathways to accelerate production while
preserving strategic control. Engagement with multiple U.S. federal agencies is intensifying as Felix Gold
advances alignment on domestic antimony supply and national-security objectives.
Together, these initiatives position the Company as a leading, near-term solution to a critical U.S.
military-grade antimony supply-chain gap, while maintaining the commercial flexibility required to maximise
long-term value from a scarce, high-grade asset. Further detail on this strategic update is set out below.
The production timeline remains subject to completion of appropriate technical studies, permitting
approvals, funding, and Board approval.

Strategic Positioning
Central to this approach is Felix Gold’s deliberate focus on military-grade and semiconductor-grade
antimony supply chains. While broader consumer-grade antimony markets fluctuate, pricing and demand
for high-purity, defence-critical material continue to strengthen, underscoring the strategic value of the
Company’s NW Array mineralisation. Entering early sales agreements would constrain commercial flexibility,
limit alignment with strategic counterparties, and risk materially undervaluing an asset that is increasingly
recognised as strategically scarce. Accordingly, the Company is prioritising pathways that maximise
long-term value and preserve commercial optionality.
Permitting & Baseline Programs
At the project level, Felix Gold is materially de-risking the transition from bulk sampling into
sustained operations. All baseline programs required for long-term development are well advanced or
complete, including wetlands delineation, air monitoring, surface water and fish habitat studies, waste-rock
characterisation, cultural heritage assessments, and groundwater monitoring, with eleven monitoring wells
installed across Treasure Creek. In parallel, detailed engineering for on-site mining and processing is
progressing, and drafting of the long-term operating permit is well advanced and remains on track for
submission in Q1. Together, these activities significantly increase confidence in a seamless progression to
continuous operations.
Downstream Processing
Downstream, Felix Gold is deliberately assessing compressing timelines to first metal. Worley has
been engaged to advance site-selection work for the Company’s own U.S.-based processing facility,
reflecting the level of engineering maturity now achieved and the strategic importance of retaining long-term
control over metal production. In parallel, Worley is also assessing potential toll-treatment options within the
United States, providing a secondary pathway that could materially accelerate initial metal production while
final site and development decisions are completed. These parallel pathways are complementary, not
mutually exclusive, and ensure speed without sacrificing strategic positioning.
Material Quality
Metallurgical testwork has already confirmed that NW Array material can produce military-grade
concentrate through simple, single-stage processing, materially reducing technical and execution
risk. As downstream arrangements are finalised, the Company may undertake short-term stockpiling of
high-grade material, ensuring ore is immediately available for conversion to metal once processing pathways
are locked in. This approach accelerates—rather than delays—the achievement of first production.
Government Engagement
In parallel, engagement with multiple U.S. federal agencies continues to intensify as the strategic
importance of secure, domestic antimony supply becomes increasingly recognised. Discussions are
focused on near-term production, downstream processing pathways, and alignment with U.S.
critical-minerals and national-security objectives. This engagement reinforces the Company’s decision to
preserve strategic optionality and maintain flexibility in potential commercial and development structures as it
advances toward first metal.

NW Array Prospect
The NW Array Prospect hosts both high-grade antimony and gold mineralisation within the same structural
corridor. Gold generally forms a broader mineralisation halo within and around antimony-bearing structures.
The prospect includes the historic Scrafford Mine, Alaska's second-largest historical antimony producer with
recorded production grades up to 58% Sb. Felix's exploration in early 2025 discovered a 25-metre-long
stibnite vein near surface with intersections including 3m @ 50.26% Sb (true width). Systematic drilling has
now defined additional veining and extended mineralisation over an area approximately 200 metres by 125
metres to depths exceeding 150 metres vertically, with the system remaining open along strike and at depth.
Gold assay results from the 2025 drilling program remain pending, with continued news flow expected
through Q1 2026.
Key Project Attributes
● Location: Alaska, USA – stable jurisdiction with established mining history
● Infrastructure: 20 minutes from Fairbanks with year-round road access, grid power, and a skilled
workforce
● Mineralisation: High-grade stibnite with simple mineralogy (predominantly Sb₂S₃)
● Timeline: Objective is to commencement prior to or early in 2026 for initial production from bulk
sampling
● Permits: Bulk sample permit amendment lodged; multi-year permit targeting Q1 2026 submission
● Strategic Context: Domestic US antimony supply for defence and industrial applications
Drilling Results - NW Array 2025 Program
Program Overview
An extensive program of drilling at the NW Array gold-antimony prospect has recently been completed. To
date a total of 56 RC holes for 3,077 m (including 9 water monitoring bores) and 67 diamond holes for
5,858.65 m have been completed. Drilling is targeted at better defining the extents and grade of high-grade
antimony and gold mineralisation intersected in previous drilling and trenching campaigns.
Samples from the drilling program have been submitted to MSA Laboratories in Vancouver for multi-element
analysis with specialised methods for high-grade antimony and PhotonAssay for gold. Multi-element and
antimony assays are pending for 10 RC holes and 51 diamond holes, with gold assay results pending for 49
RC holes and 58 diamond holes.
Results
Antimony assay results have been received for 11 RC holes, 2 diamond holes and 1 trench. Collar details
are presented in Table 2 with significant intersections (above a cut-off of 0.2% Sb) summarised in Table 3 . A
map of and cross section of results are presented in Fig 2 and Fig 3 respectively.

Main Vein Zone – Trench 25NWTR005 Correlation
Drill holes 25TCRC025, 026, 029 and 030 all intersected the east-west trending and south dipping zone of
stibnite veining exposed in trench 25NWTR005, returning grades between 0.58% and 6.3% Sb over
downhole widths of 3.0m to 4.5m (estimated true widths between 0.65m and 3.2m). A less continuous but
parallel zone of stibnite veining was intersected in the footwall of this main zone, with grades between 0.67%
and 5.9% Sb over downhole widths between 1.5m and 3.0m. Although 25TCRC048 should also pass
through this veining zone, the highest-grade sample within the corresponding part of the drill hole is only
0.1% Sb.
Northeast Vein Zone
Holes 25TCRC016 and 017 intersected another east-west striking vein some 40m northeast of trench 005
with grades of 2.58% and 1.58% over downhole widths between 3m and 6m respectively. These are
correlated with similar grades in previously reported holes in the same structure.
Southern Vein Zone
Hole 25TCRC015 intersected high Sb grades within a WNW striking vein zone to the south of 25NWTR005,
consistent with several other RC and diamond core holes in the same area.
Northern Area
The wider intersection in hole 25TCRC003 of 16.76m @ 0.95% Sb is located at the northern end of the
current drilling area where the geological interpretation is uncertain at this time. Diamond core holes here
intersect zones of intense brecciation and faulting but the orientations of the structures are unclear. Work is
ongoing to better understand this area.
Other Results
Intersections within the upper 10m of 25TCRC004 and 25TCDC011 are related to other east-west to
northeast-southwest trending vein zones. Antimony mineralisation in the upper part of 25TCDC003 is within
a fault breccia, although the orientation of the structure is unclear. High grades in the lower part of
25TCDC003 are also within breccia, which is identical in appearance to the 'black breccia' in 25TCDC004
and other holes in the same area. Hole 25TCDC011 is interpreted to have drilled down the hangingwall
contact of this breccia zone, but without intersecting any of the high-grade material.
A narrow stibnite vein striking 112° was mapped in the western end of trench 25NWTR003 corresponds with
a sample of 2.56% Sb over one metre.
Eastern Extension Testing
Hole 25TCRC024 was one of three holes (022 and 023) drilled testing the easterly extensions to vein zones.
No antimony mineralisation was intersected.

Antimony Context
The 2025 drilling program at Treasure Creek was designed to test high-grade antimony and bulk gold
mineralisation at the NW Array prospect. Results from this program, announced through October and
November 2025, include:
● 3m @ 50.26% Sb (true width) at surface from trenching
● 17.78m @ 3.17% Sb including 6.7m @ 5.3% Sb from drilling
● 6.1m @ 7.86% Sb from 39.62m in high-grade vein
In November 2025, mineralogical analysis of high-grade trench samples showed 89.2% of the in-situ
material was antimony-bearing minerals with low levels of impurities—a geological rarity. Multiple
processing pathways were validated, including production of a concentrate grading 74% Sb (exceeding US
military specification) by standard flotation and extraction of 98% of contained antimony metal via direct
alkaline leach - electrowining.
The metallurgical program identified separate gold recovery from antimony concentrates and tailings as a
priority for future testwork. Maximising gold payability via gravity separation or hydrometallurgical
extraction prior to concentrate sale will be a key economic driver given the high gold grades
observed.

APPENDIX: JORC Code Table 1 Report
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
● Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
● Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems
used.
● Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that
has inherent sampling problems.
● Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
● Reverse Circulation drilling was sampled on
1.52 m (5 feet) intervals from which 2-3kg
was split and pulverised / crushed to
produce samples for ICP multi-element
analysis, high grade Sb analysis and gold
analysis by PhotonAssay™
● Diamond drill core was sampled over
downhole lengths between 0.3m and 2.5m
(average 1m) to produce samples for ICP
multi-element analysis, high grade Sb
analysis and gold analysis by
PhotonAssay™ . Diamond drill-core sample
intervals were based on changes in
geology.
● Trenches were excavated using a
mechanical excavator to a depth of 1.5
metres. Samples were collected by
chipping the exposed area along the trench
face with a geological hammer. Polyweave
bags were placed under the sampling
interval to collect sample debris and to
avoid contamination with other material.
Samples were generally taken as 1 metre
composites 0.75m above the floor of the
trench with some smaller composites where
the geologist identified different rock types.
Total sample weights were generally around
1-2 kg.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Drilling
techniques
● Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
● Reverse Circulation (RC) holes were drilled
with a 76mm (3 inch) face-sampling
hammer with 73mm (2.875 inch) drill rods
and 102mm (4 inch) casing.
● Diamond holes were wireline HQ (63.5mm
diameter) holes.
● The diamond drill program reported here
was undertaken by C-n-C Drilling LLC
utilizing CS 14 skid mounted drill.
● Core was oriented wherever possible for
collection of structural data using a Reflex
ACTIII
● The core was reconstructed into continuous
runs on a cradle for orientation marking
before it was laid in the box at the drill.
Drill sample
recovery
● Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
● Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
● Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
● RC samples were visually assessed for
recovery and were considered
representative of bedrock intersected.
● Visual inspection of samples estimated no
significant loss of sample from each 1.52m
interval.
● No relationship between sample recovery
and reported analyses has been
established.
● Diamond core recovery was determined by
measuring the total length of core in the
barrel over the run length.
● Hole depths were checked against the
drillers core blocks at the time of
processing. Inconsistencies between the
logging and the driller’s depth measurement
blocks were investigated.
