BROAD HIGHER-GRADE COPPER INTERSECTIONS
HIGHLIGHT GROWING SCALE AT CANGALLO
Emerging higher-grade zones and broad copper intersections extending beyond 600m
continue to reinforce scale and potential of the Cangallo porphyry copper system
Highlights:
• Significant new wide, higher-grade intercepts including 114m @ 0.40% Cu returned in
diamond drill-hole CANDD006, both in shallow oxide zones and associated with primary
copper sulphides at depth.
• Significant higher-grade intersections highlighting the potential for stronger copper
mineralisation within the porphyry system include:
o CANDD006:
▪ 114 metres @ 0.40% Cu and 0.07g/t Au
▪ 26 metres @ 0.41% Cu and 0.07g/t Au
▪ 30 metres @ 0.41% Cu and 0.10g/t Au
▪ 28 metres @ 0.35% Cu and 0.07 g/t Au
▪ 20 metres @ 0.34% Cu and 0.07g/t Au
o CANDD005:
▪ 40 metres @ 0.40% Cu and 0.11g/t Au
▪ 14 metres @ 0.35% Cu and 0.08g/t Au
▪ 20 metres @ 0.35% Cu and 0.08g/t Au
▪ 14 metres @ 0.33% Cu and 0.08g/t Au
• Results from diamond holes CANDD005 and CANDD006 also provide further evidence of
scale, returning the longest copper intercepts reported to date.
o CANDD006: 618 metres @ 0.26% Cu and 0.06g/t Au from 36 metres depth
o CANDD005: 708 metres @ 0.21% Cu and 0.05g/t Au from 4 metres depth
Commenting on the results, AusQuest’s Managing Director, Graeme Drew, said:
“The latest results are very encouraging and continue to demonstrate the significant scale and
depth potential of the Cangallo porphyry copper-gold system. The diamond drilling has
extended the copper footprint at depth in the north and provided our geologists with a better
understanding of the controls on copper distribution, which will help to optimise future diamond
drilling programs.
“With approvals now secured for our Stage 4 drilling program, we are looking forward to testing
the southern extensions of the system, where previous surface sampling has identified
significant anomalism. This upcoming program could have significant implications for the
overall size and grade of the Cangallo porphyry discovery.

“We are also actively pursuing additional drill permits to further expand our exploration to the
the north and east. The recent declaration by the Peruvian Government that Cangallo is a
‘Project of National Interest’ is a very positive development which we believe could help
streamline future drilling approvals.”

AusQuest Limited (“AusQuest” or the “Company”) (ASX: AQD) is pleased to report further
encouraging assay results from diamond drilling at the Company’s 100%-owned Cangallo
Porphyry Copper-Gold Project (Cangallo) in Peru, highlighting the significant scale, depth
extent and potential for higher-grade copper mineralisation within the porphyry system.
Assays from diamond drill-holes CANDD005 and CANDD006 continue to extend the
mineralisation at depth, including long intersections of copper mineralisation starting from near
surface (3 to 30 metres depth) and extending to depths of more than 600 metres in the north
of the prospect (Figure 1).
3
Significant higher-grade (+0.40% Cu) intercepts were also reported, inferring lateral continuity
of shallow (<100m depth) higher-grade zones (supergene), as well as identifying potential
feeder structures and more intense veining within the volcanic host rocks, where higher copper
(+gold) grades are being reported (Figure 2). The intense veining occurs over tens of metres
and is thought to reflect the nature of the underlying source of mineralisation.
Figure 2: Cangallo North showing location of RC and diamond drill-holes with selected down-hole copper
grades. (surface rock-chip assays first reported in ASX releases – 30 March and 09 November 2023)
Diamond drill-hole CANDD005 reported broad intercepts (hundreds of metres) of copper
mineralisation in stockwork veins both in the oxide and hypogene zones. Higher copper grades
were associated with stronger vein density and breccia development within the broader
porphyry stockwork.
The copper oxide mineralisation extends to depths of ~250m down-hole, with chrysocolla,
atacamite, malachite and tenorite identified in the core. The deeper hypogene mineralisation
is associated with quartz sericite, phengite +/- chlorite, and quartz sericite veins with potassic
alteration selvages. The hypogene mineralisation consists of disseminated chalcopyrite and
chalcocite, with occasional bornite in some of the vein sets.
Drill-hole CANDD006 was drilled to test the depth extent of the mineralised vein sets.
Stockwork veining within CANDD006 occurs from near-surface to ~600 metres depth, with
higher copper grades occurring both within the oxide zone (potential supergene enrichment)
and associated with more intense veining and fluid breccias within the volcanic host rocks,
highlighting the potential for the porphyry system to produce higher copper grades at depth.
The cross-section (AA’) in Figure 3 shows the continuing development of the mineralised
system as further drilling is completed.

Figure 3: Cangallo North cross-section A-A’ showing the location of RC and diamond drill-holes and the
down-hole copper grades (NB: Drill-holes have been projected onto the section).
The dominant hypogene mineral assemblages within the veins consist of quartz-chalcopyrite-
sericite-chlorite, and quartz-phengite-chalcopyrite +/- bornite with potassic alteration selvages
often around the margins of the veins.
Photographs of core showing copper mineralisation within both the oxide and hypogene zones
are provided in Figures 5, 6 and 7 below. Significant intersections from drill-holes CANDD005
and CANDD006 are included in Table 1 which also contains intersections reported from the
earlier diamond drill-holes.
The compilation of diamond drilling results with earlier Reverse Circulation (RC) data is
continuing to provide a more complete picture of the extent and character of the mineralisation
being defined at Cangallo, and to lay the foundations towards the definition of a maiden
Exploration Target within the area of drilling.
Geological data suggests that the scale of the Cangallo porphyry system and associated
copper mineralisation is related to a multi-phase intrusive event which has created a
continuous stockwork vein system within the host volcanics extending over a strike length of
at least 1.5km, with all surface and drill data indicating that the system is still open in most
directions.
5
Intrusive dykes and stocks associated with the hydrothermal system extend over a strike length
of at least 2.5km, implying that there are still large areas that remain to be tested.
Further drilling (Stage 4) is planned in the south of the prospect following the receipt of drill
permits from Government (ASX release 20th
October 2026). A total of 20 new drill pads have
been sited to extend the copper (+ gold) footprint south of the current drill coverage, with the
potential for a significant increase in the overall size and grade of the mineralisation, if drilling
is successful (Figure 1 and 4).
Earlier surface rock-chip sampling in this southern area (see ASX releases on 30 March and
09 November 2023) reported highly anomalous copper (up to 1.0% Cu) and molybdenum (up
to 68 ppm Mo) values within the outcropping volcanics and narrow porphyritic dykes, plus
numerous samples containing anomalous gold values, with some in excess of 1.0g/t Au
(Figure 4).
Figure 4: Cangallo South showing the location of permitted drill pads in relation to copper and gold
anomalies from earlier rock chip sampling (surface rock-chip assays first reported in ASX releases – 30
March and 09 November 2023). Anomalous gold values are often associated with dykes (shown in red)
intruding the volcanic host rocks.
Access preparations for the planned RC drilling program will commence as soon as possible
to allow drilling to start later this year, subject to drill-rig and crew availability.
The Company is also actively pursuing additional drill permits to further extend the copper
mineralisation to the north and east, following the results of the CSAMT survey (ASX Release
6th
October 2026) and the recent declaration by the Peruvian Government that Cangallo is a
‘Project of National Interest’ which should help to reduce the time taken for drilling approvals
(ASX Release 28th
October 2026).

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report, Diamond Drilling at Cangallo in Peru
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code 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 down hole 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.
• The entire cored hole is sampled (except for Quaternary
cover sequence). Composite samples are being collected
over 2 metre intervals
• Core is cut in half with half sent for analysis and half
retained for geological and quality control purposes
• Sample intervals are measured by tape from depth
intervals shown on core blocks labeled by the drillers, as
per standard industry practice.
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).
• Diamond Drilling produces continuous core.
• HQ3 and NQ3 drill rods used to produce 60.1mm and
45.3mm diameter core respectively. The hole starts with
HQ core and changes to NQ at the appropriate depth
depending on drilling conditions.
• Down-hole surveys are read at ~ 10m intervals using a
gyro downhole survey system.
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.
• Core recovery is determined by comparing core lengths
measured against drilled intervals shown on core blocks
and recorded on the logs.
• Experienced diamond drillers are engaged to ensure
maximum core recovery.
• Sample recovery is high negating any sample bias due to
recovery.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Drill core is logged by experienced geologists to identify
key rock types, alteration and mineralisation styles.
• Core logging is qualitative with visual estimates of

mineralisation made for later comparison with assay
results.
• All core is oriented using Core master system to enable
structural measurements to be made on veins, fractures
and dykes where appropriate.
• All structural elements of the core are logged by a
geotechnician and Alpha and Beta angles are recorded
with a Kenometer. These are then entered into the
structural data base
• All core will be logged and photographed wet and dry.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
• Samples are collected by cutting the core in half along its
length and sampling over 2 metre intervals. In sections
where core cannot be cut, representative core pieces are
collected for assay.
• Duplicate samples are collected from the core at random
intervals approximately every 20th sample for quality
control. The duplicated sample is from the same length of
core with ~30% of the core used as the original and 30%
used as the “duplicate”. 40% is retained in the core box.
• The sample sizes are appropriate for the geological
materials being sampled.
• Specific Gravity readings are collected every10 metres
and where there are changes of lithology. Readings are
collected from a 10cm cut length of whole core that is
measured in calibrated beaker for water displacement
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
• Assaying of the drill samples is by standard industry
practice.
• The samples are sorted, dried, crushed then split to obtain
a representative sub-sample which is then pulverized.
• A portion of the pulverized sample is digested using a
four acid digest (Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and
Perchloric) which approximates a total digest for most
elements. Some refractory minerals are not completely
dissolved.
• Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-
MS) will be used to measure Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca,
