CENTRAL YILGARN
EVANSTON AND YERILGEE PROJECTS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Evanston and Yerilgee Projects are named after the greenstone beltsin
which they are situated. These beltsare located within an underexplored region
of the world-renowned Yilgarn Craton.
Mineralisation potential: Au, Fe, Li, Ni, Cu-Zn-Ag massive sulphides.
Over 650 km2
(combined) highly prospective ground.
Evanston: Historical drillingreturned 15 m @ 1.5 g/t Au (incl. 3 m @ 6.7 g/t
Au) at Viper and 48 m @ 0.6 g/t Au (incl. 21 m @ 1.3 g/t Au) at Leghorn,
confirming system fertility1
.
• Numerous shallow (<30 m) AC and RAB holes indicate mineralisation open
at depth and along strike.
Yerilgee: Hosts multiple camp-scale targets (T6–T8, T11) defined by gold-in-
soil trends and shallow high-grade intercepts.
• Stand-out historical results1
include:
• 17 m @ 4.1 g/t Au & 28 g/t Ag (incl. 4 m @ 14.9 g/t Au) – Chicken
Little
• 16 m @ 1.9 g/t Au from surface (incl. 4 m @8.5 g/t Au) –
Snowflake
• 9 m @ 2.6 g/t Au (incl. 3 m @ 7.1 g/t Au) – Megatron
• Surface geochemistry outlinesa 20 km × 2 km gold–pathfinder anomaly,
with multiple untested magnetic–structural features.
EVANSTON & YERILGEE
EVANSTON
• Part of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton, comprising mafic–
ultramafic volcanic rocks intruded by felsic porphyries
and cut by major shear zones.
• Mineralisation occursalong granite–greenstone contacts
and within quartz–carbonate–pyrite veining hosted by
magnetite-rich, sheared units.
• The belt exhibits multiple structurally controlled gold
corridors parallel to regional shears, similar to those hosting
long-life operations elsewhere in the Yilgarn.

CORRIDORS BETWEEN MARVEL

“
EVANSTON
EXPLORATION STRATEGY
Systematic RC drilling to extend
mineralisation at Viper North and South,
targeting depth and strike continuity.
Soil geochemistry and mapping to refine
anomalies at Evanston South and T1E,
integrating structural and lithological data.
Deeper RC programs at Leghorn to follow
up significant shallow intercepts and
untested northern extensions.
Focused on cost-efficient, high-impact
drilling across multiple gold-bearing
corridors to validate large-scale potential.
YERILGEE
• Structurally favourable dome-and-shear setting containing
high-Mg basalts, ultramafics, banded iron formations
(BIFs), and felsic intrusives.
• Goldmineralisation hosted within folded BIF sequences
intruded by felsic porphyry, with associated pathfinder
geochemistry and strong magnetic responses.
• Multiple parallel shear zones and fold hinges provide
structural traps for gold deposition.

YERILGEE
EXPLORATION STRATEGY
Follow-up AC/RC drilling at Chicken Little
and Snowflake to define strike continuity
and depth potential.
Integrate magnetic, structural, and
geochemical datasets to prioritise drill
programs.
Infill and extension soil programs across
Auger 1–3 and T8 to delineate untested
magnetic–structural targets.
Advance T6 and T8 to drill-ready status,
aligned with CTN’s strategy of building
multi-district discovery leverage within
the Laverton and Yilgarn belts.
LAVERTON
HALO PROSPECT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Laverton Gold Project is strategically located in the Laverton
district, adjacent to world-class operations including AngloGold
Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam, Gold Fields’Wallaby and Granny Smith gold
mines, and Lynas Rare Earths’ Mt Weld deposit.
Collectively, these operationshighlight the proven endowment of
the Laverton Tectonic Zone and its ability to host large, long-lived
gold deposits.
Of particular interest to the Company at Laverton is its budding
Halo Project; which, whilst still in early stages of exploration,
presents numerousencouraging geological factors justifying
strategic focus.
RC and AC drilling campaignsat the Halo site have yielded
promising results, including:
• 44m @1.01g/t Au from 44m in LVAC0492
incl. 4m @ 2.22g/t Au
from 48m 4m @ 1.96g/t Au from 64m 8m @1.45g/t Au from
72m
• 18m @1.16g/t Au from 126m, incl. 5m @2.3g/t Au (LVRC02)3
• 17m @0.90g/t Au from 44m (LVRC06)4
• 2m @3.79g/t Au from 190m (LVRC07)4
• 2m @2.55g/t Au from 58m (LVRC08)4
• 1 m @ 11.50g/t Au from 114m (LVRC10)5
• 2 m @ 3.13g/t Au from 48m (LVRC12)5
LAVERTON
HALO
• The Barnicoat Shear Zone is north-south trending, major
regional gold-hosting geological feature in the Laverton
region of Western Australia.
• The shear zone varies between 10-100m in width and is
located at the contact between mafic andfelsic rocks.
• This shear zone isa key target for gold exploration and
contains several golddeposits.
• This includes the likes of the nearby Mon Ami Resource.

STRATEGICALLY PLACED
WITHIN ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S
MOST PRODUCTIVE GOLD
DISTRICTS, ALONGSIDE

“
LAVERTON-HALO
EXPLORATION STRATEGY
All assays will be integrated into data
interpretations, assessing mineralisation
continuity and grade distribution at
Project.
Outcomes will seek to inform follow up
drilling, anticipated focus on strike
extensions and continuity testing to the
north, south, and east of 6810850N.
Petrographic studies will be carried out
concurrently to grow knowledge of host
lithologies, alteration assemblages, and
sulphide development
PILBARA
BEASLEY CREEK PROJECT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Beasley Creek acquisition establishes Catalina’s
first district-scale footprint in the Pilbara, creating a
complementary growth hub to its Yilgarn and Laverton
portfolios.
The Project offers two clear discovery pathways — shear-
hosted orogenic gold and conglomerate-style gold along
a 16km unconformity — neither of which has been
systematically drill-tested in more than two decades.
Western Australia’s most productive gold provinces.
Historical drillingintersected up to 4m @11.5 g/t Au
(RRC15)4
with multiple additional anomalous soil, stream,
and rock chip results.
Comprehensive exploration database (1,300+ samples,
2,323 line-km aeromagnetics, detailedmapping)
provides immediate leverage for reinterpretation and
targeting.
BEASLEY CREEK
BEASLEY CREEK
• Licence on northern flank of the Rocklea Dome – a geological
feature comprising ancient Archean and later intrusions.
• Bedrock geology of monzogranite and mafic/ultramafic bodies –
in Australia’s Pilbara Craton.
• Two distinct styles of gold potential at Beasley, a structurally
controlled ‘orogenic’gold hosted in Archean greenstones, quartz
veins and shear zones show strong anomalism.
• Conglomerate-style gold along the Hardey Formation
unconformity, a 16 km corridor where coarse sedimentshave the
potential to trap and concentrate gold at surface contacts.
FAVOURABLE GEOLOGICAL SETTING BODES STRONG NEAR-TERM GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
BEASLEY CREEK COMES WITH
A COMPLETE DATASET AND
PROXIMITY TO ESTABLISHED
OPERATIONS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE, PROVIDING
LOW-COST OPTIONALITY FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND THE
POTENTIAL TO ACCELERATE
VALUE CREATION.
“
BEASLEY CREEK
EXPLORATION STRATEGY
Immediate priority to review historical
data to refine and rank targets.
Initial program to be run, await assay
results from lab to gain baseline
understanding of project from modern
drilling.
Outcomes of data review will inform drill
program design, scale and target areas.
Future steps at Beasley Creek will be
determined by outcomes of initial
drilling program.
