PEAK VIEW PROJECT UPDATE - 16 SAMPLES TAKEN ACROSS
MULTIPLE PROSPECTS, INCLUDING BIG BADJA SILVER MINE
HIGHLIGHTS
• 16 rock chip samples collected from Big Badja Silver Mine, Undoo Creek
and the Peak View prospect at the Peak View Project
• Lab results from samples expected in early Q1 2026
• Comprehensive compilation, digitisation and spatial validation of all
historical datasets completed
• Multiple Land Access Agreements (LAAs) secured across priority areas
Exultant Mining Limited (ASX: 10X) ("Exultant" or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on
exploration activities completed to date across the Peak View Project (EL8931 and EL9411) in New
South Wales.
Work undertaken during the due diligence phase and following completion of the acquisition of the
Peak View Project has focused on consolidating historical technical datasets, progressing
reconnaissance fieldwork, and securing land access agreements to enable upcoming exploration
programs.
Comment from Executive Chairman, Brett Grosvenor:
"This is exactly the start we have been working towards, and this enables us to remain on track for an
early second quarter 2026 drilling campaign at the Peak View Project. We have multiple rock chip
samples in the lab and we are looking forward to receiving the results in early 2026, so we can confirm
our geological interpretations and commence planning for the next phase of works. In parallel, key
access agreements have been executed and we continue to work closely with stakeholders at Peak
View."

Reconnaissance Fieldwork
A reconnaissance field program was completed across the Peak View Project. The program aimed to
validate historical information, confirm previous geological mapping, and collect new geochemical
samples from known and emerging prospects.
Field mapping at Peak View successfully confirmed the position of key lithological boundaries
identified in earlier studies, including the prospective contact between coarse-grained and fine-
grained rhyolitic volcanic units contained within a broader sedimentary package of arenites,
greywackes, siltstones and shales. Importantly, this volcanic package was traced a further ~450 m to
the north-northwest beyond previously mapped limits. The field team also independently located and
verified historical prospects such as the Big Badja Silver Mine and the Undoo Creek gold prospect using
a handheld GPS.
A total of 16 rock chip samples were collected from several key prospects including the Big Badja Silver
Mine, Undoo Creek and the Peak View prospect (Fig. 1).

Big Badja Silver Mine
The Big Badja Silver Mine comprises a series of high-grade quartz–galena–chalcopyrite veins hosted
along an intrusive granite–sediment contact. Mining operations ceased in 1890 for reasons that remain
unknown; however, assays quoted in the Warden’s Report record results of up to 334 oz of silver per
ton (9,469 g/t Ag)1
from a depth of approximately 6 metres within the main shaft. The shaft has since
collapsed, and despite these ultra–high-grade historical results, the prospect has never been subjected
to modern exploration.
A total of 8 rock chip samples were collected from the mine and its immediate vicinity and have been
submitted to ALS Orange for analysis, including multi-element ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and fire assay gold
(Au-AA23). Assay results will be released once received and interpreted.
Undoo Creek
The Undoo Creek prospect comprises a series of shallow shafts and adits developed along quartz–
galena–pyrite veins hosted within granite. Historical workings are distributed over several hundred
metres and appear to have targeted narrow, high-grade sulphide-bearing quartz veins. Limited
historical assay data is available; however, samples taken from quartz–galena veins within one of
the shafts reportedly returned grades of 3.5g/t Au, ~13g/t Ag, and 1.35% Pb2
highlighting the presence
of polymetallic mineralisation within the system. Despite these encouraging results, Undoo Creek has
not been subject to any systematic modern exploration.
A total of 2 rock chips were taken from quartz-pyrite veins (Fig. 2) at the Undoo Creek prospect and
have been submitted to ALS Orange for analysis, including multi-element ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and fire
assay gold (Au-AA23). Assay results will be released once received and interpreted.
Peak View
The Peak View prospect is a polymetallic (Cu–Pb–Zn–Ag–Au) sulphide system hosted within a narrow
Silurian volcanic package of the Yalmy Group, where mineralisation occurs at or near the contact
between two felsic volcanic units and comprises disseminated to massive base-metal sulphides.
Historical drilling by WMC, Denehurst and Ironbark returned several high-grade but generally narrow
intercepts3
, including:
• PVD003: 2.1 m @ 1.79% Cu, 5.89% Pb, 11.83% Zn & 105 g/t Ag from 32.2 m
• PVD007: 2.7 m @ 3.0% Cu, 1.41% Pb, 3.88% Zn & 52 g/t Ag from 91.0 m
• PV02: 1.5 m @ 0.40% Cu, 3.25% Pb, 5.10% Zn & 188 g/t Ag from 164.1 m
• PVI008: 0.8 m @ 1.21% Cu, 11.60% Pb, 22.0% Zn, 0.50 g/t Au & 119 g/t Ag from 152.6 m
Large sections of the prospective volcanic horizon remain untested, highlighting the potential for strike
and depth extensions. Notably, the extensions to the high-grade system have never been assessed
using modern surface geochemistry or geophysics.
A total of 6 rock chips were collected from the Peak View prospect and have been submitted to ALS
Orange for analysis, including multi-element ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and fire assay gold (Au-AA23). Assay
results will be released once received and interpreted.

Historical Data Compilation and Digitisation
In preparation for the field works undertaken, the Company has completed a comprehensive
compilation and review of all available historical datasets, including drilling, assay data, geological
mapping, geochemical data, geophysical surveys and historical mining records. All legacy datasets have
now been digitised, georeferenced and converted to modern GDA2020 coordinates. This work ensures
full spatial accuracy and provides an essential platform for the next stages of geological interpretation
and target generation.

Land Access Agreements
The Company has made strong progress on land access. At Peak View, several key land access
agreements have now been executed, securing access to the properties covering the Peak View
prospect as well as the land containing the Big Badja Silver Mine and Undoo Creek prospects, in
addition to several other landholdings within the broader project area. This access supports the
efficient rollout of upcoming surface geochemistry and geophysical programs.

Next Steps
Planned work for the Peak View Project includes completion of ME-MS61 and Au-AA23 soil sampling
across the Peak View prospect in Q4 2025. This will be followed by ground-based gravity and induced
polarisation (IP) surveys in Q1 2026. Targeted drilling of geophysical and geochemical anomalies
generated from this work is scheduled for Q2–Q3 2026.

Appendix A: Peak View JORC Code, 2012 Table
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• No new samples have been collected by Peak View Exploration Pty Ltd.
• Historic sampling include:
o Stream sediment sampling by multiple explorers (WMC 1971,
Delta Gold 1993).
o Soil sampling campaigns by WMC at Peak View Prospect.
o Drilling by WMC during 1978-82 period (14 holes), Denehurst in
1995-96 (2 holes) and Ironbark Zinc during 2010-2012 (11
holes) at Peak View Prospect with 1,170 samples analysed for
Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ag. Some of the samples were assayed for Au.
• Analytical methods included AAS and fire assay; however, QAQC
protocols from the 1975-1995 are not consistently documented in available
reports.
Drilling
Techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
• 27 drill holes completed historically between 1975-2012, comprising:
o WMC 1978 – 1982: 14 diamond drillholes for total of 1,852
metres with an average of 132 m.

or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
o Denehurst 1995-96: 2 diamond drillholes for total of 291 m.
o Ironbark Zinc 2010-2012: 11 diamond drill holes for total of
1,710 m.
• Hole orientations generally –60° toward local grid west.
• Diamond holes were NQ/HQ Size.
• Drilling unit was track mounted.
• Core orientation methods not documented in available reports.
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.
• Recovery records are limited or inconsistently reported in historic drilling
programs.
• No systematic recording of core recovery or sample quality documented for
early programs (1975-1995).
• Potential sample bias due to preferential loss in broken ground zones
cannot be assessed from available data.
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.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• Historic core has been geologically logged to varying standards depending
on the operator and time period.
• Logging generally qualitative in nature, focusing on lithology, alteration,
and mineralisation.
• Core photography not systematically undertaken in early programs.
• Detailed structural logging limited, though some programs noted shear-
foliation oriented N-S with steep dip.
• Most intersections appear to have been logged, though detail level varies
significantly between operators.
Subsampling
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.
• Core sampling methods not consistently documented across all historic
programs.
• RC samples collected at 0.66 m intervals in most programs; Diamond
drilling samples collected at 0.1 m intervals.
• Sample preparation procedures varied between operators and time

• 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 insitu 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
periods.
• No documented field duplicate or second-half sampling programs.
• Quality control procedures for sub-sampling not systematically
documented for early programs.
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
