COMSTOCK STUDY UPDATE:
WALKERS PIT SELECTED / LICENCING SUBMITTED
ST ARNAUD – COMSTOCK GOLD & SILVER PROJECT
• Walkers pit preferred pathway identified. An initial Concept Study (Study) has been
completed for the Comstock Gold & Silver Project by respected geological and engineering
consultants Measured Group Pty Ltd and Minserve Pty Ltd, with input from Core
Prospecting Pty Ltd, the operators of the nearby Wedderburn Mill and Fiddlers Creek Gold
mine. The Study has identified, on a conceptual basis, a potentially efficient pathway
involving modest pre-production capital cost.1
• The existing Walkers Pit, along existing road and pit ramp access last used in the late 1990s2
and intermittently used since (including Aureka’s current in pit diamond drilling)3
,
contributed to the modest upfront capital estimate4
. The initial estimate indicates capital
required relates to onsite set up, site overheads rather than extensive earthworks and
pre-mine development. The Study is conceptual in nature and is not a Scoping Study,
Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study standard under the JORC Code 2012 (JORC Code).
• Licencing submitted: Aureka’s objective at Comstock is to deliver a fast to market low
capital start-up operation. Following the identification of preferred Walkers Pit location,
Aureka has in recent days applied for a small mining licence, known as a Prospecting
Licence (PL). This licence suits Comstock’s current profile - a small footprint (<5 hectares)
potential operation, located entirely within previously disturbed site, for limited life
(up to 7 years), with offsite processing.
• Infill diamond drilling program continues at Walkers pit. Mineralisation at the Walkers
pit is comprised of auriferous sheared quartz reefs and stockwork zones with selected
historical intercepts including 14m @ 7.2g/t Au from 18m (SRC64 drilled by GenGold in
1984-85) and 2.2m @27.4g/t Au from 63.2m (STAD36 drilled in 1988), as previously reported
in the ASX Released dated 29 May 2026.5

DISCLAIMER RELATING TO CONCEPT LEVEL STUDY
The Study referred to in this announcement has been undertaken for the purpose of assessing gold
production opportunities from the Comstock Pit at St Arnaud. The Study is conceptual in nature and has
no consideration for specific details including approvals, environmental, legislative requirements,
processing, specific mining requirements (loss & dilution, geotechnical, hydrological). The Study does not
meet the requirements of a Scoping Study under the JORC Code.
The Study is a concept-level technical review commissioned by the Company as part of its ongoing
assessment of the Comstock Project and to inform whether further work towards a Scoping Study is
warranted. The study does not constitute a Scoping Study, Pre-Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study as
defined in the JORC Code. The work is based on Inferred Mineral Resources, peer-benchmarked cost and
recovery assumptions, and a block model the Company’s consultant has identified as not being optimised
for narrow-vein underground mine design. It is not sufficient to support the estimation of Mineral
Resources or Ore Reserves, a Production Target or forecast financial information for the purposes of the
ASX Listing Rules. Substantial further exploration, technical and economic work is required before Aureka
will be in a position to estimate any such matters. There is no assurance that any of the conceptual findings
described in this release will be realised. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Aureka will
be able to raise the required funding when needed to progress the project, and that such funding may
only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of Aureka’s existing shares.
It is also possible that Aureka could pursue other ‘value realisation’ strategies such as a sale, partial sale
or joint venture. If it does, this could materially reduce Aureka’s proportionate ownership of the project.
While Aureka considers the material assumptions to have been prepared with reasonable care, there is
no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the findings indicated by the Study will be achieved.
Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the
results of the Study.
Management
Comment
“It is encouraging to see the Study identify a pathway to
re-opening the Comstock project at the Walkers Pit area with
low upfront capital and entirely within previously disturbed
footprint.
It is also a milestone to submit our first production licence
application. We look forward to working with our
stakeholders to advance this smaller scale minimal
disturbance licencing over coming weeks.
We also look forward to seeing the progress of the infill
diamond drilling program now underway at Comstock and, if
results support it, then feeding those results, and 2025
drilling, into a potential update to the Maiden Mineral
Resource at the Comstock Gold & Silver Project later in 2026.”

Comment
“Our first production licence application is another key
milestone for Aureka and follows our recent upgrade in JORC
Resources to 455koz7
. The in-pit infill diamond drilling at
Walkers is progressing to schedule, and while assays remain
pending, we are intersecting geological structures and
features consistent with our Comstock model.
Continuing to build sound geological models and developing
thorough project level understanding is key to our exploration
strategy and progress and attributed to the recent growth in
resources at our flagship Irvine Gold Project. We will continue
to apply a comparable project level understanding across the
St Arnaud goldfield as Aureka strives to position the Comstock
project as our first production project, aiming to benefit from
the long history of production, most recently in the 1990s6

ST ARNAUD COMSTOCK PROJECT – CONCEPT LEVEL STUDY
Aureka Limited (Aureka or the Company) is pleased to report results of the Concept Level
Study outcomes as part of its on-going work towards a Scoping Study for the Comstock Gold &
Silver Project near St Arnaud. The Study was conducted by respected geological and
engineering consultants Measured Group Pty Ltd and Minserve Pty Ltd, along with input from
local operators Core Prospecting Pty Ltd, owners of the Wedderburn Mill and the operating
Fiddlers Creek underground gold mine.
Results of the Study have identified a potential lower capital pathway to site re-opening.
This is attributable to the existing pit and in situ close to surface mineralisation. The Walkers Pit
within Comstock, which features the Walkers Shear and Stockwork, has been selected as the
focus for further conceptual work.
Existing access infrastructure contributes to a relatively modest capital estimate to
re-open the Comstock site. The Walkers Pit can be accessed through existing tracks last used
in the late 1990s and intermittently used since for exploration and other activities including the
infill drilling program now underway at Comstock. The mineralisation at Comstock is 100%
inferred JORC Resource and there is no guarantee that it is economic. Further work is required,
including successful infill drilling and Resource classification upgrades.

A number of risks were identified within the Study including possible existence of voids and
other resource depletion due to historical mining activity. To address these risks,
recommendations were made including infill drilling, collection of more samples for grade

analysis and metallurgical testing. As previously announced, this work is underway including
the infill diamond drilling program.
Study outcomes indicate confidence for further work towards the vision for Comstock
The results of the Study, including the relatively modest capital pathway to site re-opening and
access to the Walkers Pit, have given Aureka confidence to continue work, subject to further
studies, assessments, approvals and funding.
Given the current Comstock Mineral Resource is 100% classified as Inferred, further infill drilling
and reporting in accordance with the JORC Code is required to be successfully completed before
there would be reasonable grounds for publishing a compliant production target and scenario
financial outcomes.9

Refer to ASX release 29 May 2026, Infill drilling commences at Comstock. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that
materially affects the information included in that earlier announcement and, and with respect to the inferred mineral resource estimate, that all material
assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Application submitted for small footprint mining operation. Following the identification of
preferred Walkers Pit location Aureka has in recent days submitted its application for a small
mining licence, known as a Prospecting Licence (PL). This licence type has been deemed suitable
for Comstock’s current profile, level of knowledge of the mineralisation at the project and
Aureka’s desire to have smaller scale profitable starter operations, while it also advancing its
larger, flagship Irvine Gold Project.
Targeting shallow mineralisation. The PL application at Comstock has been designed around
the Walkers pit targeting the shallow mineralisation. Based on the current resource and
geological model, a small footprint (<5 hectares) potential operation, located entirely within
previously disturbed site, has been envisaged. A PL supports smaller scale operations, are of
limited life (up to 7 years), and can be superseded with a conventional Mining Licence if Aureka
deems future work supports an application for a full Mining Licence. While the licence
application has been submitted and Aureka has prepared the application with due care and in
compliance with the stated regulations, there is no guarantee the application will be successful.
Licence application plans for offsite processing. Aureka has been working with local mill
operators Core Prospecting on an offsite processing solution for Comstock and as noted above,
the current Comstock Mineral Resource is 100% classified as Inferred. Further infill drilling and
reporting in accordance with the JORC Code is required to be successfully completed before
there would be reasonable grounds for publishing a compliant production target (including
mining methods) and scenario financial outcomes.10

materially affects the information included in that earlier announcement and, and with respect to the inferred mineral resource estimate, that all material
assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Infill drilling program in progress
As recently announced, infill diamond drilling has commenced on the Walkers Pit area at
Comstock. The objective of the infill drilling campaign is, if results support it, to seek to support
re-classification of a portion of the current 100% Inferred Mineral Resource to a higher
confidence category.
The infill diamond drill program for approximately 1,000 metres consists of six short holes of
average depth under 100 metres. The program shall seek to:
1) Validate the data from historical drilling results,
2) Increase drill data density to, if successful, support a higher confidence level for
sections of the 100% Inferred Mineral Resource, and
3) Provide samples for metallurgical testing.
Successful infill drilling may, if results support it, allow re-classification of a portion of the
current Inferred Mineral Resource to a higher classification category. Re-classification is a
necessary, but not sufficient, step toward any future Scoping Study.
A compliant Production Target or any forecast financial information would also require
completion of Modifying Factor work (metallurgical, geotechnical, hydrogeological, processing,
marketing, environmental, social, legal, regulatory and capital cost) and would need to satisfy
the ASX Listing Rules. Investors should not assume that any of these outcomes will be achieved.
Historical high grade drill results highlight the shallow mineralisation potential
As disclosed on 29 May 2026, historical high grade drill intercepts in the Walkers pit include:
• 100.8g/m - 14m @ 7.2g/t Au from 18m (SRC64 drilled by GenGold in 1984-85)11
• 60.2g/m - 2.2m @ 27.4g/t Au from 63.2m (STAD36 drilled in 1988) 12
• 53.4g/m – 3.1m @ 17.24g/t Au from 22.5m (STAD37 drilled in 1988)13
• 22.6g/m – 2.0m @ 11.30g/t Au from 68m (SRC65 drilled in 1985).14
A recent grab sample taken in April returned a grade of 6.04g/t gold. The sample was collected
from a continuous structure propagating along the western wall of the Walkers pit and
represents a new target yet to be drill tested.15

Refer to ASX release 29 May 2026, Infill drilling commences at Comstock. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that
materially affects the information included in that earlier announcement and, and with respect to the inferred mineral resource estimate, that all material
assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Comstock Gold & Silver Project – 2025 Maiden Mineral Resource
Cautionary Statement. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred Mineral
Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of
Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised.
In June 2025 AKA released a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.45M tonnes at
1.21g/t Au for 56,500 oz gold (Au)17
(Table 2) and additionally, an Exploration Target around the
Inferred Resource has been estimated to range between 3.0Mt and 3.5Mt, at grades 1.2g/t Au
to 1.0g/t Au, resulting in an Exploration Target range estimate of 112koz to 116koz of gold and
potentially economic amounts of silver (Ag) at a grades of 1.9g/t to 2.02g/t Ag for total of 195koz
to 214koz silver18
(Table 2).
Table 1 – Comstock Gold & Silver Project Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with the 2012 edition of JORC Code19
.
The preceding statements of Mineral Resources conforms to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) 2012 Edition. All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur
due to rounding to appropriate significant figures.
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target set out in Table 2 of this release are conceptual in nature and was
reported in 2025 (St Arnaud). There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in
accordance with the 2012 edition of JORC Code.

THE ST ARNAUD COMSTOCK GOLD & SILVER PROJECT OVERVIEW
The St Arnaud Comstock pit is a previous mine site (last production 1995) and lies within the
greater St Arnaud gold fields that historically produced 400koz at an estimated 15g/t Au.32
Comstock is along the Nelson line of reef and is situated approximately two kilometres north
of the township of St Arnaud. The Comstock prospect sits on the eastern margin of the Stawell
Geological zone of the Lachlan Orogen within the Saint Arnaud Group metasediments, which
are unfossiliferous, quartz rich turbidites assumed to be Cambro-Ordovician in age.
Locally, the geology of the Comstock project consists of a package of tightly folded turbidites
with distinct shale and sandstone layers of varying thicknesses. The area is dominated by a
NNW trending, west dipping fault/shear zone known as the Comstock Shear. The shear zone is
interpreted to lie within the hinge zone of a large-scale syncline and is confined by a wide, shale
dominant zone of sediments. Shale directly adjacent to the shear zone tends to be highly
carbonaceous and very dark grey to black in colour. Coarse euhedral pyrite crystals seem to be
syngenetic to this carbon rich zone of fine sediments, and quartz veining is associated with gold
mineralisation and is massive to stylolitic in texture. There appears to be an apparent
association with green-black carbonaceous shales and higher gold grades.
Primary gold mineralisation at St Arnaud is hosted within quartz veins which are structurally
controlled within very complex structural domains associated with folding and NNW trending,
west dipping thrust faults. Gold mineralisation is hosted by quartz reef systems within brittle
fractures and faults and can extend from a few metres long to a few kilometres along strike but
usually a few hundred metres. These NNW trending reefs have steep plunging gold shoots. The
mineralisation has a base metal signature of Au + As + Ag + Pb. In historical records, the gold
ore was characterised by a relatively high sulphide content up to 5% pyrite, chalcopyrite,
arsenopyrite, galena and silver. Most of the mines stopped at the oxide-sulphide interface due
to reduced grade and poor recoveries from sulphide ores.
Proximity to Infrastructure
St Arnaud Gold Project and the Comstock project area lie within trucking distance to a number
of gold processing plants in Victoria. With the current strong gold price environment, and
subject to further drilling, studies, approvals and funding, Aureka is progressing follow-on work
including community, scoping and regulatory approval work to plan for a potential productive
future at Comstock and the St Arnaud gold field. On 8 December 2025, Aureka announced it
has engaged mill owners and small-scale Victorian gold production specialists, Core Prospecting
Pty Ltd, to assist with the advancement of the St Arnaud Comstock Project and Aureka's
potential pathway to future production33
