Managing Director and CEO Mr Grant Haywood commented:
“The sustained uplift in the gold price has brought previously marginal lower-grade tonnages into the economic
envelope. By redefining cut-off grades, we have delivered a meaningful uplift in total resource ounces.”
“This positions the Company with a more robust platform for future development, with the increased inventory
to be incorporated directly into the Black Swan study planned for release in this current March 2026 quarter.”

Depleted Resources
Boorara
The Boorara Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) was undertaken in 2021 and reported as “Updated Boorara
Mineral Resource Delivers a 34% Increase in Gold Grade” dated 27 April 2021. Mining of the deposit
commenced in late 2024 with 605,981 tonnes at 0.93 g/t Au for 18,154 oz of gold production recorded to 30
June 2025.
The Mineral Resource Estimate for Boorara was depleted for mining to June 2025 by intersection of the 2021
resource block model (min_210723_dep_final.fbm) with the June 2025 end of month pit shells. A depletion of
889,258 tonnes of ore and waste containing 29,985 oz of gold at a 0.5 g/t Au reporting cutoff was applied. The
Boorara MRE now contains 9.79 Mt containing 398 koz of gold (Table 1). The additional depleted ounces
compared to production are tied up in mineralised waste. With completion of mining in late 2025, a detailed
reconciliation will be undertaken upon collection and compilation of all available data.

Phillips Find
The Phillips Find MRE was undertaken in June 2022 for Greenstone Resources (GSR). After acquisition of
GSR, Horizon reported the Phillips Find mineral resource in the “Group Mineral Resource Statement –
Amended” dated 1 August 2024.
The Mineral Resource Estimate for Phillips Find was depleted for mining to June 2025 by intersection of the
2022 resource block model (phillipsfind_mre_june_2022.mdl) with the June 2025 end of month pit shells. A
depletion of 152,446 tonnes at 1.9 g/t Au for 9,347 oz Au above a cutoff of 0.0 g/t Au was reported. This
compares to recorded mine production of 144,397 tonnes at 1.39 g/t Au for 6,441 oz Au. After completion of
mining in late 2025, a detailed reconciliation will be undertaken.
The Phillips Find remaining open pit mineral resource is 45 koz. The underground MRE remains the same
(Table 31).

Updated Resources
Over the last three years the price of gold has increased substantially (Figure 2). The consequence of this is
more lower grade deposits are becoming economic to mine. Recent work commissioned by Horizon as part
of the upcoming Black Swan feasibility study is confirming that projects can be mined at a lower cutoff grade
than previously applied. Recommendations from MRE reviews have been to lower the reporting cutoff grades
and review the original interpretations with the objective of incorporating lower grade mineralisation in the
modelling.
The Company has re-reported Mineral Resource Estimates completed between 2021 and 2023 at a revised
cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au, compared with the previously reported cutoff grade of 0.8 g/t Au. Except for Kalpini,
the Company confirms that no new information or data has been identified that materially affects the
information included in the original market announcements. All material assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimates in those announcements continue to apply and have not
materially changed for the deposits listed below.

Crake
The Crake MRE was originally reported as “Updated Crake Resource improves in quality” (Crake) 7 September
2021. Re-reporting of the model (crake_mre_august_2021_final.mdl) at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff increases tonnes
by 28% and contained ounces of gold by 12% (Table 3 Table 4).

Coote
The Coote MRE was originally reported as “Gold resources increase to 1.24 moz” (Coote, Capricorn, Baden
Powell) dated 28 September 2022. The Coote deposit has a large volume of mineralised material between
0.5 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Au as illustrated in Figure 3. Consequently, reporting the 2022 model
(coote_09_2022.mdl) at a 0.5 g/t Au results in a 5-fold increase in tonnes and a 300% increase in ounces.

Golden Ridge North
The Golden Ridge North MRE was originally reported as “Maiden Resources for Monument and Golden Ridge
North” (Golden Ridge North) dated 19 July 2023. Re-reporting the Golden Ridge North model (gr_2023.mdl)
at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff results in 230% more tonnes and 41% more ounces.

Kalpini
The Kalpini deposit was originally reported as “Kalpini Gold Project Mineral Resource Update” (Kalpini) dated
28 September 2021.
During the 2021 interpretation, 80 additional 1.0 m samples were selected for assay, bringing the total available
assays in the dataset to 79,234. In 2022 a MRE update was undertaken to include theses samples. The new
interpretation also revised some lode orientations. Overall, these enhancements made a small but not material
increase to the resource of 1.4% in ounces.
Table 9 reports the MRE from the 2021 modelling. Table 10 reports the MRE from the 2022 model
(kp_2022_04.mdl) at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff grade. The update is an increase of 9,000 ounces of gold (6%).

Jacques-Peyes
The Jacques-Peyes MRE comprise the adjacent but not contiguous deposits of Jacques Find and Peyes Farm.
The MRE was originally reported as “Jacques Find- Peyes Farm Mineral Resource update” (Jaques-Peyes)
dated 15 September 2021.
Reporting of Jacques-Peyes at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff results a 6% increase in tonnes and a 2% increase in
contained ounces.

Gordons Dam
The recently acquired Gordons Dam project includes a MRE reported by Horizon as “Acquisition of Projects
Near Black Swan Including Gordons Dam Project - Amended” (Gordons Dam) dated 11 August 2025.
The original MRE was completed by BMGS for Yandal Resources in 2023 and reported at a 0.8 g/t Au cutoff
from the model gordons_dam_bm_2303.mdl. Reporting this model at a 0.5 g/t cutoff gives a 100% increase
in tonnes and a 42% increase in ounces of gold.

Listing Rule 5.8 Disclosures
Pursuant to ASX listing rule 5.8.1, and in addition to the information contained in the attached JORC Code
tables, the Company provides the following details in respect of the mineral resources listed above.
Boorara
Overview
The Boorara Gold Project is located 15 km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (Figure 1) adjacent to the Super Pit,
and 1 km southwest of the Nimbus Silver-Zinc Project site where established offices are connected to mains
power and existing water supplies.
Geology and Mineralisation Interpretation
Boorara is hosted within the Boorara Shear Zone (BSZ), a major tectonic feature of the Kalgoorlie Terrrane.
At Boorara the BSZ contains a number of ultramafic, mafic-volcanic and sedimentary units. The host Boorara
Dolerite package has a 4 km strike length, and consists of layers of pyroxenite, dolerite and granophyric
coarse-grained quartz dolerites. The package is at its widest in the northern area (500 m) due to intercalated
dolerite, high magnesian basalt (komatiite) and sediment units. The central and southern parts of the project
generally lack the internal komatiites and sediments and averages less than 60 m width.
The local geology has been extensively mapped and relogged by Dr Gerard Tripp and forms the basis for the
compilation of a 3D geological model for the Boorara deposit and the construct of mineralisation domains.
Additionally, the vein analysis provides significant support for the grade continuity analysis.
Due to the change in deposit characteristics along its strike length, the Boorara deposit is divided into three
areas; Regal, Crown Jewel and Royal.
The Regal mineralisation is dominantly hosted in stockworks within quartz dolerites or on the margins of
sedimentary units. These consist of moderately NE dipping veins within steeply dipping zones.
horizonminerals.com.au Page | 9
The Crown Jewel area has mineralisation within a moderately north-east dipping zone within the quartz
dolerite. This is a continuation of the Royal (southern stockwork) style of mineralisation, but with a narrower
zone of quartz dolerite and shallower dip.
The Royal area presents as well-developed steeply north-east dipping zones containing high frequency vein
arrays developed proximal to shears at the upper and lower contacts of the dolerite unit.
Drilling Techniques
The deposit was sampled using Reverse Circulation (“RC”), Diamond drillholes (“DDH”) and Grade Control
RC (“GCRC”) on spacings ranging from 4 m x 10 m and 4 m x 4 m (vertical) at Royal, nominally 4 m x 10 m
(vertical) at Crown Jewel and 5 m x 10 m (angled) at Regal. The exploration/resource development drilling
patterns were typically spaced at 10-20 m x 20 m but can extend out to >100 m spacing where deeper. An
approximate total of 337 RC holes, 50 DDH holes and 812 GCRC holes were drilled for 133,695 m, 8537 m
and 22,978 m respectively. Other types of sampling such as trenches, Aircore and RAB drilling were not used
in the Mineral Resource Estimate.
Sampling Techniques
Reverse Circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which approximately 1.5-2 kg was pulverised
to produce a 50g charge for fire assay. RC chips were geologically logged. Diamond Core was logged and
sampled by cutting PQ, HQ, NQ2 core along the orientation line and submitting the half core for assay. Sample
intervals were determined by the supervising geologist.
Sampling Analyses Method
Samples were assayed for Au ppm only for this program. Assays were determined by 50g fire assay with AAS
finish samples grading >5 g/t were repeat assayed and if a sample exceeded 100 g/t or coarse gold is
suspected then a screen fire assay (Au-SCR22AA) has been undertaken on those samples and those results
reported instead of the fire assay result. Detection limits are typically accurate to 0.01 g/t Au.
Estimation Methodology
Mineralisation was domained as two mineralisation sets (termed the “Contact” Lodes and “Flat” Lodes) which
were then estimated as separate block models that were then joined together for the final model. The Contact
Lode mineralisation model relates to the vein stockworks contained within steeply dipping granophyric
dolerites. The Flat lode mineralisation relates to sheeted extensional quartz vein arrays that are developed
between the contact lodes at Regal, and mainly on the footwall side of the Crown Jewel and Royal deposits.
These models were estimated separately, and the Contact lodes were overprinted onto the Flat Lode
mineralisation model.
In terms of the interpretation process where Flat lode Mineralisation domains crosscut the Contact domains
the samples were used to form the wireframes and the composites are used to inform both models. The tenor
of the mineralisation is very similar for both domains so is not considered to be an issue likely to cause over-
estimation issues in the model.
Grades were composited to 1 m downhole constrained within the mineralised domains. To avoid loss of data
from small ‘residuals’ at the end of a composite (i.e., small intervals that might otherwise be excluded), a “best
fit” compositing routine that divided each mineralised intercept into equal lengths that was as close as possible
to 1 m was chosen.
High grade results within the deposit were capped by analysing histograms, log histograms, log probability
plots and spatial analysis of individual high grades. Top cuts for the Contact Lodes were selected on a lode-
by-lode basis and top cuts for the Flat Lodes were selected on a domain grouping basis. Top cuts varied
between 8 g/t and 43 g/t gold. Low grade subdomains within the Contact Lodes were all top cut to 2 g/t gold.
Top cuts were applied to composites prior to estimation.
horizonminerals.com.au Page | 10
Flat lode model:
Flat lode domains were grouped into seven orientation domains and variography was undertaken. The Regal
flat Lodes (88 domains) were individually estimated by ordinary kriging dynamic anisotropy, using hard domain
boundaries. The search ellipse for the Regal Lodes was aligned to the local orientation of the mineralised trend
of each domain using dynamic anisotropy. The Crown Jewel and Royal Lodes were estimated as a group,
using ordinary kriging with a search ellipse flattened across strike to force a strong anisotropic search. Flat
lodes were estimated into a parent block of 10 m (Y) x 10 m (X) x 5 m (Z) with sub celling to 1 m (X,Y,Z).
Contact lode model:
Categorical indicator variography was completed for each of the Contact lodes using dynamic anisotropy to
control the search at a 0.25 g/t gold Indicator. This estimation was used to define the low grade subdomains.
Variography was undertaken on the flat lode high grade sub-domains which were individually estimated by
ordinary kriging using dynamic anisotropy with hard boundaries applied apart from Domain 101, 301 and 401.
Contact lodes were estimated into a parent block of 10 m (Y) x 20 m (X) x 5 m (Z) with sub celling to 1 m (X)
by 2 m (Y) by 1 m (Z).
For both models three search passes were run. The size of the initial anisotropic search ellipsoid was based
on the variogram ranges. The searches were oriented in the same directions as the variograms i.e., parallel
to the individual vein geometries.
Cutoff Grade
The cutoff grades for Mineral Resource Estimation reporting are 0.5 g/t gold for open pit resources and the
Mineral Resource has been reported above the 200 mRL (approximately 200 m below ground level) as the
boundary for open pit RPEEE (“Reasonable Potential for Eventual Economic Extraction”)
Previously reported MREs have used the same cutoff grade based on reasonable prospects of eventual
economic extraction using optimisation shells run by Mining Consultants using assumed cost scenarios.
Mineral Resource Classification
Blocks have been classified as Measured, Indicated, Inferred or Unclassified based on drill hole spacing,
geological continuity and estimation quality parameters.
Mining and Metallurgical Parameters
Gold grades and geometry of the mineralised veins are amenable to open pit mining. No dilution for mining
has been incorporated into the model. The model and reported Mineral Resources are for the mineralised
lodes only, and further mining studies are required to determine the appropriate amount of dilution. Trial mining
in 2016 and 2020 and reconciliation of ore shall also assist in determining the appropriate mining parameters.
Metallurgical test work on Boorara was completed by ALS Laboratories in 2014, 2015, a further two test work
programs occurred in 2016 and another in 2018 and 2019, Bureau Veritas in 2011 and 2021 and two programs
in 2017 in addition to ore characterisation test work undertaken in 2017 by HydroGeoSense. Test work was
undertaken on the various lodes and weathering profiles through master and bulk composites. In addition,
trial mining in 2016 of the Royal lodes processed at FMR Investments’ Greenfields Mill, and trial mining in 2020
of the Regal and Crown Jewel lodes treated at Golden Mile Milling’s Lakewood plant, enabled confirmation of
metallurgical recoveries, reagent consumptions and optimal processing parameters for plant design.
Comminution test work included SAG Mill Comminution Data, Unconfined compressive strength (UCS),
Crushing Work Index, Bond Ball Work Index, Bond Abrasion Index which indicate the transitional/fresh ore on
average is of medium hardness and moderately abrasive.
horizonminerals.com.au Page | 11
Metallurgical recovery test work included gravity and CIL leach test work and direct leach test work at various
grind sizes which showed moderate to high gravity recovery and high leach recovery, with milling confirming
these results averaging typically above 40% gravity recovery and achieving overall recovery of 94.5% across
all lodes at Boorara.

Phillips Find
Overview
Horizon acquired the Phillips Find Project in 2024 through a merger with Greenstone Resources (GSR).
Horizon inherited full ownership of the project tenements but have not completed any drilling activity at the
Project.
Following acquisition by Horizon, the company established a joint venture (JV) with BML Ventures Pty Ltd to
develop and mine the open pits at Phillips Find. Under this arrangement, BML funds all project costs and
manages operations, and after cost recovery, net cashflows are split 50:50 between Horizon and BML.
Geology and Mineralisation Interpretation
Regional geological and magnetic data indicate that the Phillips Find area lies within the Coolgardie Domain
but close to the north-eastern boundary with the adjacent Kalgoorlie Domain (Swager 1994). The boundary
between the two domains is marked by a major regional scale, north-west striking high strain zone called the
Kunanalling Shear Zone that rotates, truncates and deforms variably oriented stratigraphy and older structures
within the Coolgardie Domain.
The Kunanalling Shear lies 25 km west of the Ida Fault, which marks the western margin of the main
Norseman-Kalgoorlie greenstone belt. Regional seismic data indicates the Ida Fault is a crustal scale, east-
dipping fault with both normal and reverse movements along it (Goleby et al 1993) and that the Kunanalling
Shear Zone may be linked to the Ida Fault at depth along a sub-horizontal detachment structure.
On a regional scale, the lithologies between the Ida Fault and the Kunanalling Shear Zone are characterised
by higher metamorphic grades (low to mid amphibolite facies) and more pervasive deformation compared to
the Kalgoorlie Domain and lie within the “dynamic” regional metamorphic domain of Binns et al (1976). This is
in part related to the intrusion of the surrounding granitoid domains but was also likely to have been
synchronous with much of the deformation in the belt. The Phillips Find area is underlain in part by three major
granite intrusions; the Dunnsville Granodiorite, the Doyle Dam Granodiorite and the Bali Monzogranite. On
the basis of cross-cutting relationships, Swager (1994) interpreted the Dunnsville Granodiorite to have been
emplaced during or pre major regional folding (assigned to D2 deformation age) whereas the Bali
Monzogranite was intruded post D2 and possibly syn-D3 (major regional shearing), and the Doyle Dam
Granodiorite was intruded as late as post D3. The margins of the granites may have acted as extensional
shear zones during emplacement helping to unroof the high grade metamorphic rocks and emplace them at
higher crustal levels (Williams and Whitaker 1993).
The Phillips Find Project area is dominated by the Doyles Dam/Dunnsville Granodiorite, which is an elongated
dome striking northwest. The rock stratigraphy to the north of the dome consists of a folded sequence of
carbonaceous shales, felsic intrusives, and dolerite and ultramafic sills within the Dunnsville Basalt. Further
to the north is the Kunanalling Basalt, felsic sediments and dolerite. There is a strong series of faulting striking
NNE cutting through the complete sequence (including the dome) as well as bedding parallel shearing/faulting
striking NW.
Interpretations of domain continuity were initially undertaken in Leapfrog 3D software, with mineralisation
intercepts correlating to individual domains manually selected prior to creation of a vein model. Interpretation
was a collaborative process with Greenstone’s geologists to ensure modelling appropriately represented the
current understanding of geology and mineralisation controls. The Phillips Find project area has an early
geological architecture established by D1 northsouth shortening where thrusts and related folding created
locally east-west trending structural and stratigraphic contacts. Mineralising fluids migrating through the
Kunanalling Shear and subsidiary structures during D2 an D3 found favourable sites for gold accumulation
where the Kunanalling related shears intersected existing lithological contacts, often at a high angle. The
precipitation of gold in this structural setting was likely enhanced by the reducing effect of carbonaceous shales
present in the area. Those shales would have had reducing effect on any fluids within tens of metres of the
shales thems
