Cautionary statement: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource within the
areas comprising the Exploration Target, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target is separate from, and
additional to, the existing Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources reported for the Badja Gold Project in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The Exploration Target does not constitute a
Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT
The information in this announcement that relates to historical exploration results has been reviewed by Dr Nishka Piechocka, PhD, Vice President of the Australia
institute of Geoscientist (AIG) and a full-time employee of Catalina Resources Limited. Dr Piechocka has sufficient experience relevant to the style of
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the
Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets and Mineral Resources for Gnows Nest and Monte Cristo is based on information compiled by Mr
Ben Pollard, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Member No. 224945). Mr Pollard is an experienced mining
geologist and a Director of Badja Gold Pty Ltd, and the report was prepared by Cadre Geology and Mining Pty Ltd. Mr Pollard has sufficient experience relevant to
the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity being undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012
Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code).
The information in this announcement that relates to the Mineral Resource Estimates for the Flying Emu and Water Tank deposits is based on, and fairly represents,
information and supporting documentation compiled by Mr Steven Le Brun, a Competent Person who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy (FAusIMM) and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (FAIG). Mr Le Brun is a director and principal resource geologist of LBC Resources
Pty Ltd. Mr Le Brun has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity being
undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement
and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the
relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from original market
announcements.
