ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
SOIL SAMPLING RESULTS IDENTIFY 1.75KM GOLD
ANOMALY AT MIRIAM
Highlights
Fifteen (15) anomalous gold zones identified from detailed review of recent and historical
surface geochemistry at Miriam.
Emergence of the 1.75km geochemical and geophysical Canyon target
Numerous soil samples returned results above 0.1 g/t Au, with a peak value of 3.03 g/t Au
highlighting the potential for shallow, high-grade gold discoveries at Miriam.
Many of the anomalous zones are coincident with previously identified structural targets
produced from magnetic geophysics 1.
Results serve to further upgrade Forrest and numerous regional targets including the Jungle
structural trend.
Historical drilling of the Forrest prospect intercepted 2:
─ 12m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 60m (MRC97-15)
─ 10m @ 2.51 g/t Au from 30m (FGA002)
─ 10m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 30m and 4m @ 4.86 g/t Au from 73m (MRC97-5)
─ 5m @ 7.35 g/t Au from 70m (MRC97-25)
Initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at Miriam, focused on the Forrest and Canyon
targets, remains on track to commence in July 2025.
FBM remains well-funded to undertake all planned exploration activities through 2025 and
beyond with a strong cash balance of A$7.4 million and zero debt (as at 31 March 2025).
Future Battery Minerals Ltd (ASX: FBM) (FBM or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has completed its
detailed review of surface geochemistry for its 100%-owned Miriam Project, located in the W.A. Goldfields
region of Western Australia.
FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:
“Our boots on the ground and activity focused exploration strategy have returned exceptional results, strongly
evidenced by the growing exploration potential across our broader Coolgardie portfolio. The soil sample results
have identified 15 new anomalous gold zones with up to 3.03 g/t Au highlighting the opportunity for further
shallow, high-grade gold discoveries. Importantly, the emergence of the Canyon target with a 1.75km striking
anomaly is untested and increases the scale potential for the project. Ground preparations are underway for
the upcoming initial drill program at Miriam that remains on track to commence in July. In light of the strong
geophysical and geochemical results and scale of the Canyon target, it’s now advanced to drill ready status
and will be tested alongside Forrest in this program.”

Following its 100% acquisition of all mineral rights for the Miriam Project in May 2025, FBM commenced a
detailed assessment of gold prospectivity at Miriam. This included a comprehensive review of available
historical geological and drilling data, which resulted in the discovery of historical gold mineralised intercepts
at Forrest and the identification of numerous other gold occurrences at Forrest South, Jungle and Goroke
(refer ASX releases dated 19 May 2025 and 27 May 2025). More recently, FBM completed a review of
magnetic geophysics, resulting in the identification of 13 prospective targets which include both broad and
discrete structures of interest (refer ASX release dated 17 June 2025).
FBM’s review of surface geochemistry is now also complete. These works were conducted with the aim of
identifying areas of elevated or anomalous gold and to consider their importance for the targeting of shallow
regolith and bedrock hosted gold.
The Company collated all surface geochemical sampling conducted on the tenement, with a focus on soil
sampling. The evaluated results also included approximately 300 samples recently collected by FBM and
submitted to LabWest for analysis. This process involved the use of Ultrafine+™, an Ultra Fine Fraction
process which tests clay particle size fraction soils for gold and gold pathfinder elements.
The subsequent desktop data review incorporated all soil sampling results, combined with historical datasets
previously collated by Corazon Mining (ASX: CZN) and verified by FBM.
This geochemical review has been a critical piece of FBM’s ongoing evaluation of gold prospectivity at Miriam.
Results from this review highlight that gold values of <10ppb Au were a reliable base/background level of gold
in the in the surface soils and sediments. Values of >20ppb Au were thus deemed to be at least double the
background level and considered anomalous.
Given these ranges, fifteen (15) anomalous zones indicating potential subsurface gold mineralisation have
been identified and warrant follow-up exploration. Several samples returned relatively high grades for soil
sampling, ranging between >0.1 g/t Au and a peak of 3.03 g/t Au. This evidences the fertility of Miriam and the
surrounding area and highlights the strong underlying potential for further shallow oxide or bedrock gold
discoveries.

Figure 2: Miriam soil sampling results
Importantly, many of these gold anomalies are coincident with the previously reported structural targets derived
from the geophysical litho-structural interpretation conducted by FBM and its geophysical consultants,
Southern Geoscience Consulting. FBM considers the targets where strong coincidence across multiple data
sets have been observed to be of top priority for upcoming drill testing.
A key observation is that FBM can draw insights from the known mineralisation at Forrest – where bedrock
intercepts from drilling share a strong correlation to elevated gold-in-soils and distinct magnetic features – and
identify commonalities to other targets. In particular, at the newly defined Canyon target, a large approximate
1.75 km long gold anomaly in soils is overlapping with a 1.75 km structural target with numerous features
similar to Forrest. This structural and geochemical trend has become a high priority target to be drill tested in
the upcoming programme.

Upcoming work programmes
FBM remains on track to commence an initial RC drill programme at Miriam in July 2025. The programme is
set to focus on initial targets within the Forrest prospect, which boasts historical gold intercepts, and the new
Canyon target. All key permits are in place, including an approved Conservation Management Plan and
granted drilling Program of Work.
A second heritage survey is also scheduled to commence in July 2025, covering prospective areas which FBM
intends to test in subsequent drilling scheduled for late Q3 2025. FBM field personnel are also currently
conducting further ground truthing of the recently identified geochemical and structural anomalies in
preparation for the drill testing of priority targets in the upcoming programmes.

COMMENTARY
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 1m
samples from which 3kg was pulverised
to produce a 30g 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.
•
Soil Sampling collects a 300g sample of
fine soil from below 300mm subsurface.
•
Reverse Circulation drilling collects a 1m
bulk sample. Sampling is then
composited into 4m composites for fire
assay purpose. Anomalous intercepts are
then sub assayed to their 1m sample.
Air Core drilling collects a 1m bulk
sample. Sampling is then composited into
4m composites for fire assay purpose.
Anomalous intercepts are then sub
assayed to their 1m sample.
Rotary Air Blast Drilling collects a 1m bulk

Significant intercepts are considered
as intercepts >0.1g/t Au and include
up to 1m internal dilution. This is
considered a significant intercept for
first pass drilling technique such as
RAB and AC.
All results are reported as down hole
length only. Mineralisation is
interpreted as flat lying lodes however
geological understanding is still
insufficient and further drilling planned
by FBM aims to address the
uncertainty.
