Announcement PDF ASX : AKA B R I N G I N G V I C T O R I A ' S G O L D T O L I F E 1 A S X A N N O U N C E M E N T 22 DECEMBER 2025 General ST ARNAUD COMSTOCK - SHALLOW VISIBLE GOLD IN NEW STRUCTURE ST ARNAUD – COMSTOCK PROJECT • Visible gold intersected near surface within hole 25NED007, 140m west of the Comstock Fault and characterises a new mineralised structure sub parallel to the inferred JORC Resource.1 Gold bearing structure is approx. 125m vertically from surface and its discovery is significant given it has not been previously identified or exploited by legacy exploration and mining. Assays are expected within five weeks. • Second extension to Comstock mineralisation within one month. This new structure to the west of the main Comstock Shear, comes soon after mineralisation was extended by up to 100m to the north in recently reported hole 25NED0022 , also with high-grade visible gold highlighted by 1m @ 65.37g/t Au from a shallow 116m. • The additional mineralisation adds to production potential. St Arnaud Comstock Project is proximate to the Wedderburn Gold Mill, owned and operated by small mining specialists Core Prospecting Pty Ltd who are assessing pathway to bring Comstock to small scale production3 . • Elsewhere, diamond drilling continues at Aureka’s flagship Irvine Project (Stawell) exploring continuity to mineralisation up dip of the Resolution Fault structure proximal to the converging Tenacity Hanging Wall fault, which hosts the record high assays of 10m @ 12.1g/t Au from 413m reported in October including, including 0.3m @ 183g/t Au from 413m and 0.3m @ 64.3g/t Au from 413.8m4 , and future testing of the new Resolution footwall vein set identified in holes RD048 and RD0475 that both intersected high grade visible gold. 1 ASX Release, 13 June 2025: St Arnaud Maiden JORC MRE and Exploration Target - Amended 2 ASX Release, 20 Nov 2025: St Arnaud Comstock High Grade Assays 3 ASX Release, 08 Dec 2025: Core Prospecting St Arnaud Engagement 4 ASX Release, 15 Oct 2025: Irvine Drilling Highest Assay Since Discovery 5 ASX Release, 03 Dec 2025: Irvine Drilling – Resolution Footwall Delivers Hight Grade Results. Management Comment “I am delighted to be reporting further occurrences of visible gold at St Arnaud, Comstock, with extensions this time to the west after our recent highlight intercepts extending mineralisation to the north. It comes just as mill owners Core Prospecting Pty Ltd assess the possible pathway to small scale production for Comstock. - James Gurry, Managing Director ASX : AKA B R I N G I N G V I C T O R I A ' S G O L D T O L I F E 2 22 DECEMBER 2025 Cautionary Statement The Company cautions that visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine actual grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. Pictured in this release is visible gold only from 25NED007. Mineralisation observations for 25NED007 are set out in Table 1 of this release. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available. ST ARNAUD COMSTOCK PROJECT - SHALLOW VISIBLE GOLD IN NEW STRUCTURE • The intersection of visible gold along a subparallel structure to the main Comstock Shear highlights the ongoing discovery potential at St Arnaud’s Comstock and the opportunity for continued growth and resource expansion. 6 ASX Release, 20 November 2025: St Arnaud Comstock - High Grade Assays Exploration Manager Comment “The discovery of a new near-surface structure hosting visible gold approximately 140m west of the main Comstock Shear target continues to illustrate the discovery potential of the St Arnaud gold field. Hole 25NED007 was drilled primarily to target the down dip extension of the Main Comstock Shear and the new intercept of additional visible gold demonstrates the ongoing exploration upside that still remains within the Comstock project. Significant arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralisation have been observed deeper within 25NED007 below the near surface visible gold, and both are associated with laminated and brecciated quartz veins, which we are confident is the northern extension of the Comstock Shear zone that has previously returned high grade assays up to 109g/t Au6 , and the primary target of 25NED007. The newly identified structure and visible gold observed within 25NED007 occurs subparallel to the main Comstock Shear and has potential for both along strike and down dip continuity and represents a new near-surface target for future exploration drilling and resource expansion.” - Jozef Story, Exploration Manager ASX : AKA B R I N G I N G V I C T O R I A ' S G O L D T O L I F E 3 22 DECEMBER 2025 • Approximated 12 grains of visible gold intersected at 127.6 m, ranging from 0.5 to 1.0mm in length within a steeply dipping faulted laminated quartz vein (Figures 1, 2, 3 overleaf). • The newly identified visible gold mineralisation is hosted within a bedding parallel laminated quartz vein, indicative of the gold mineralisation observed within the main Comstock Shear. • The new visible gold intercept and steeply dipping laminated quartz vein represents yet another target opportunity with possible strike continuity and capacity for further gold discoveries external to the Maiden JORC Resource7 , and also supports ongoing potential to develop a future pathway to near-term production at St Arnaud Comstock. • This announcement relates to the presence of visible gold in hole 25NED007, part of a seven-hole diamond drilling program completed at St Arnaud Comstock between April through to September of this year. Logging and sampling of 25NED007 remains in progress and assays are expected within the next five weeks. • Aureka continues to process drill hole 25NED007. Significant arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralisation have been observed deeper within the hole proximal to laminated and brecciated quartz veins believed to be the northern extension of the Comstock Fault. Characteristics of the zone appear to be similar to 25NED001 which included significant intercepts of 6.9m @ 4.2g/t Au from 422m (incl. 0.75m @ 18.6g/t Au) and 3.2m @ 4.71g/t Au from 434.0m (incl. 0.6m @ 19.9g/t Au from 435.9m)8 . • Partial assays from drill hole 25NED007 are expected in the next five weeks. The diamond drilling campaign at St Arnaud Comstock comprised 7 holes for 2,253 metres drilled, the program commenced in April 2025 and concluded in September 2025. As earlier core shed work was prioritised on the high grade results from Aureka’s flagship Irvine Project, the logging and sampling is in progress on the remaining holes from the St Arnaud campaign (25NED004, 25NED006, 25NED006A and final sections of 25NED007). 7 ASX Release, 13 June 2025: St Arnaud Maiden JORC MRE and Exploration Target - Amended 8 ASX Release, 24 July 2025: Multiple high-grade gold intercepts at St Arnaud Comstock ASX : AKA B R I N G I N G V I C T O R I A ' S G O L D T O L I F E 4 22 DECEMBER 2025 Figure 1: St Arnaud Comstock visible gold (25NED007 logging complete, assays pending) and pyrite.

Laboratory assay results are required to determine actual grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. Pictured in this release is visible gold only from 25NED007. • The visible gold Mineralisation observed within 25NED007 occurs outside of the maiden 56koz maiden JORC resource reported in June 202514 and is hosted within a faulted bedding parallel laminated quartz vein approx. 140m west of and subparallel to the main NW trending Comstock shear • The visible gold is associated with a 10cm steeply dipping faulted laminated quartz vein containing approximately 12 grains of visible gold, ranging from 0.5 - 1 mm in length, with subordinate arsenopyrite and pyrite. • The occurrence of additional visible gold at St Arnaud continues to highlight the gold fertility of the Comstock prospect, demonstrating the potential for further discoveries with potential to expand the Maiden Resource at St Arnaud that was reported in June this year15 . 12 ASX Release, 20 November 2025: St Arnaud Comstock - High Grade Assays 13 St Arnaud historical production taken from: Krokowski de Vickerod, J., Moore, D.H. and Cayley, R.A., 1997 14 ASX Release,13 June 2025: St Arnaud Maiden JORC MRE and Exploration Target - Amended 15 ASX Release,13 June 2025: St Arnaud Maiden JORC MRE and Exploration Target - Amended 22 DECEMBER 2025 The St Arnaud Comstock Project 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. Comstock is located within the historic St Arnaud Goldfields along the Nelson line of reef and is situated approximately 2 kilometres north of the township of St Arnaud. 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. Course euhedral pyrite crystals seem to be syngenetic to this carbon rich zone of fine sediments, quartz veining is associated with gold mineralisation and is massive to stylolitic in texture. 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. 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 Au16 . There appears to be an association with green-black carbonaceous shales and higher gold grades. 16 St Arnaud historical production taken from: Krokowski de Vickerod, J., Moore, D.H. and Cayley, R.A., 1997 22 DECEMBER 2025 Figure 7 – St Arnaud Comstock pit, picture taken from the west, proximate to the location of visible gold in 25NED007 Comstock - Proximity to a number of operating gold mills St Arnaud Gold Project and the Comstock pit lies within trucking distance to a number of gold processing plants in Victoria. With the current strong gold price environment Aureka intends to begin community, scoping and regulatory approval work to plan for a productive future at Comstock and the St Arnaud gold field. 22 DECEMBER 2025 On 8th December 2025, Aureka announced it has engaged mill owners and small-scale Victorian gold production specialists, Core prospecting, to assist with the advancement of the St Arnaud Comstock Project and significantly de-risk Aureka's potential pathway to first production17 .

Exploration Target – Comstock Project On 13 June 2025, AKA announced the maiden gold Exploration Target20 at its 100%-owned St Arnaud Comstock project in Victoria, Australia. Notably, the Exploration Target was constrained to the current drill footprint at Comstock, as at the time this was the only area that contained sufficient drilling to determine continuity and infer grade ranges. Significant potential exists to increase the size of the exploration target with additional drill results beyond the Exploration Target area. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore is an approximation. 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 the JORC Code. 20 ASX Release: St Arnaud Maiden JORC MRE and Exploration Target – Amended, 13 June 2025 22 DECEMBER 2025 APPENDIX A St Arnaud: Comstock Gold Project JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g 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. Air Core & Reverse Circulation Drilling • All air-core (AC) drill holes have been routinely sampled at 1m intervals downhole directly from a rig mounted cyclone. Each metre is collected and placed on a plastic sheet on the ground and preserved for assay sub-sampling analysis as required. For RC, each metre of sampling is collected in individual sequentially numbered plastic bags and preserved. • Sub-samples for assaying are generated from the 1m preserved samples and have been prepared at the drill site by either a spear sampling method (AC) or riffle split (RC) based on logged geology and mineralisation intervals. Sub- samples have been taken at 1m intervals or as composites ranging from 2-5m intervals ensuring a sample weight of between 2 to 3 kg per sub- sample. • Certified reference material and sample duplicates have been inserted at regular intervals with laboratory sample submissions. Diamond Core Drilling • The diamond drill core samples are selected on geological intervals varying from 0.2m to 1.3m in length. • All drill core is routinely cut in half (usually on the right of the marked orientation line) with a diamond saw and submitted for analysis. Representative sampling is ensured by a combination of Company procedures regarding quality control (QC) and quality assurance/ Testing (QA). Certified standards and blanks are routinely inserted into assay batches. Drilling techniques • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details Air Core (AC) Drilling • Legacy AC drilling has been carried out using a Wallis Mantis 80 AC rig mounted 22 DECEMBER 2025 (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). on a Toyota Landcruiser base. The AC rig used a 3.5” blade bit to refusal, generally just below the fresh rock interface. Reverse Circulation Drilling • Legacy RC drilling has been conducted using a track-mounted drill rig; 400psi 900cfm compressor and booster; auxiliary compressor where dictated by water in-flows. The RC rig used a 4” diameter RC hammer with 110mm button bit to progress the hole to design depth or where groundwater inflows compromise sample quality. Diamond Core Drilling • Legacy diamond drilling was conducted using Deepcore track-mounted LM90 and LF130. • Pre-collars have been drilled to solid bedrock using an HWT (114.3mm) drill bit followed by diamond coring with a diameter of 63.5mm (HQ) • Diamond drilling of HQ3 (triple-tube) is undertaken to ensure maximum core recovery. • Drilling completed by Aureka was conducted by AMWD • Pre-collars were drilled to solid bedrock using an HQ3 drill bit (93mm hole diameter) coring down to solid rock followed by HWT casing diamond (114.3mm hole diameter) • Diamond drilling of HQ3 (triple-tube) was undertaken to ensure maximum core recovery. • Drill core has been orientated with a Reflex ACT III core orientation tool then continuously marked with a line while on an angle iron cradle Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Air Core & Reverse Circulation Drilling • Legacy AC & RC drill recoveries have been visually estimated as a semi-quantitative range and recorded in the log. • Recoveries are generally high (>90%), with reduced recovery in the initial near-surface sample. • Samples are generally dry, but many became wet at the point of refusal in hard ground below the water table. • Geological control maintained at the drill site at all times to ensure drilling and sampling is to required standard. 22 DECEMBER 2025 • No sampling issue, recovery issue or bias has been picked up and is considered that both sample recovery and quality is adequate for the drilling technique employed. Diamond Core Drilling • All diamond core has been logged capturing any core loss, if present, and recorded in the database. • All drill depths are checked against the depth provided on the core blocks and rod counts are routinely carried out by the driller. Core recovery for the areas sampled is generally good. Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. • Geological logging of samples follows Company and industry common practice. Qualitative logging of samples includes (but is not limited to), lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. • All logging is quantitative, based on visual field estimates. • Most if all AC & RC chips and core were photographed in detail. • For AC & RC, a small representative sample has been retained in a plastic chip tray for future reference and logging checks. • Detailed chip logging, with digital capture, has been conducted for 100% of chips logged by previous geological teams. • Detailed core logging, with digital capture and digital photography, was conducted for 100% of the recent Aureka diamond drilling Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Air Core & Reverse Circulation Drilling • Procedures have been followed to ensure sub-sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but are not limited to), daily workplace inspections of sampling equipment and practices. • Only recent core drilling incorporated blanks and certified reference materials are submitted with the samples to the laboratory as part of the quality control procedures. • AC composite, 1m individual and EOH samples have been collected as grab samples. • Legacy drill sample preparation and base metal and precious metal analysis is undertaken by a registered laboratory (ALS Perth, WA). Sample preparation by dry pulverisation to 85% passing 75 microns is undertaken by ALS Adelaide, SA. • The sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly give an accurate indication of mineralisation given the qualitative nature of the technique and the style of gold 22 DECEMBER 2025 mineralisation sought. Diamond Core Drilling • Detailed diamond core logging, with digital capture, has been conducted for 100% of the core by previous geological team. • Half core is sampled from NQ and HQ diameter drill core. • Company procedures have been followed to ensure sub-sampling adequacy and consistency. These included (but are not limited to), daily workplace inspections of sampling equipment and practices. • Blanks and certified reference materials are submitted with the samples to the laboratory as part of the quality control procedures. • No second-half sampling has been conducted at this stage. • The sample sizes are appropriate to correctly represent the sought-after mineralisation. Quality of assay data and laboratory tests • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. • Sample preparation for legacy samples was undertaken by ALS, Adelaide, SA. Samples are dried at 90C for 6-12 hours, crushed with hammer mill to
