• Large tenement holding - 60km
strike along prospective E-W
structures
• Numerous Porphyry Cu & IOCG
targets located close to the coast
& infrastructure
• Cangallo success upgrades
potential for further Cu discoveries
in AQD tenements
• Lantana & Playa Kali both priority
targets - permits to drill imminent

• Low altitude ~1,200m asl means
lower cost structures than at high
altitude
• ~8km from the coast – lower cost
structures for process water
• Power transmission lines cross the
prospect – potential cost savings
• 30km from Chala - ~10K people
with strong ties to fishing & mining –
potential work force
• Potential port site close to the
prospect

• Stage 1 & 2 drilling intersected significant
copper from surface to +800m depth —
indicates large porphyry system
• Grades up to 1.1% Cu in tonalite dykes suggest
potential for increased Cu grades near centre
of the system
• Potential for supergene enrichment suggests
higher Cu oxide grades are likely
• Stage 3 RC drilling aims to expand Cu resource
southward and vector towards the porphyry
centre
• Stage 4 RC drilling to further expand resource
and define outer limits of resource – Permits for
Stage 4 expected Q3 CY 2026
Stages 3 & 4 RC Drilling Focus on Scale

“Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of
principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.”

Cu-Au mineralisation to the south
& test for source porphyry where
higher grades may occur.
• Deep diamond drilling will test
depth extent of Cu sulphides
in areas outlined by RC drilling
• Stage 4 permits required to define
full extent of Cu mineralisation
• Drill testing Lantana & Playa Kali to

Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward looking statements concerning the projects owned by AusQuest Limited. Statements concerning mining reserves and resources may also be
deemed to be forward looking statements in that they involve estimates based on specific assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and
actual events and results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements as a result of a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Forward
looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, opinions and estimates as of the dates the forward looking statements are made and no obligation is assumed to update
forward looking statements if these beliefs, opinions and estimates should change or to reflect other future developments. Data and amounts shown in this presentation relating to
capital costs, operating costs and project timelines are internally generated best estimates only. All such information and data is currently under review as part of AusQuest
Limited’s ongoing development and feasibility studies. Accordingly, AusQuest Limited cannot guarantee the accuracy and/or completeness of the figures or data included in the
presentation until the feasibility studies are completed.
Competent Person’s Statement
The details contained in this report that pertain to exploration results are based upon information compiled by Mr Graeme Drew, a full-time employee of AusQuest Limited. Mr
Drew is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AUSIMM) and has sufficient experience in the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent
Person as defined in the December 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Mr Drew
consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based upon his information in the form and context in which it appears.
JORC – Exploration Targets
It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this presentation relating to exploration targets
should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) or Reserve(s) have not been used in this context.
The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, since there has been insufficient work completed to define them beyond exploration targets and that it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
Currency
All dollar amounts shown in this presentation are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
