THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE
Strong start to FY26 drilling and exploration
Results from first quarter of the record Telfer drilling program focused on extension and growth potential
Highlights
Telfer Resource Development Drilling
§ FY26 drill program off to a good start, exceeding planned metres drilled with a total of 53,543 metres (resource growth and resource conversion drilling) from 711 holes across
§ Greatland remains on track to deliver the targeted 240,000m of drilling in FY26, with a third reverse circulation (RC) rig mobilised during the quarter and a fifth underground diamond drilling rig mobilising in October.
§ 25,286m of resource growth drilling completed, targeting extensions to Stage 2 and Stage 7.
§ 16,010m of resource conversion infill drilling completed designed to increase the geological confidence of Stage 7 and Stage 2 extensions.
§ September quarter drilling meters exceeded plan, therefore Stage 7 extension drilling is expected to be completed ahead of schedule, allowing a pivot to Stage 2 extension for the balance of FY26.
West Dome Underground
§ 4,862m of resource growth drilled across nine holes from the highly anticipated second phase of the West Dome Underground drilling campaign, with two rigs allocated for the remainder of FY26.
§ A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate is targeted in the
Main Dome Underground
§ 7,386m drilled across 67 holes of resource conversion and growth drilling during the quarter.
§ Successful delivery of the Eastern Stockwork Corridor (ESC), Central (drilled last quarter) and Tarkin (drilled this quarter) targets to the operations team during the quarter.
§ Resource growth drilling has successfully extended both ESC South and Kylo, with these drill programs ongoing.
Regional Exploration
§ Activities focused on several existing satellite deposits and priority targets in the Paterson region within trucking distance of the Telfer mill.
§ Paterson South Farm-In drill testing of Telfer style targets at Paterson Dome intersected further coherent copper mineralisation. Drill testing of geophysical targets at the Atlantis prospect completed with drilling ongoing at the Teague prospect.

Greatland Managing Director,
"The September quarter was a great start to our record 240,000m annual drilling program at Telfer, with the results to date further supporting the potential for multi-year Telfer life of mine extension from both open pit and underground opportunities.
The new high-grade zone identified at the West Dome Underground is particularly exciting. The project presents the possibility of an entirely new high-grade underground mining centre beneath the currently active
Our regional exploration results are encouraging and include results from several satellite deposits located on granted mining leases within proximity to the Telfer mill, with the potential to provide optionality for additional ore feed.
We will be mobilising an additional rig this month and are well placed to achieve our drilling targets to inform a significant resource update at Telfer in the
