Bullabulling Gold Project
Location and Infrastructure
Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia (100%)
The Bullabulling Gold Project is one of Australia’s largest near-term gold projects, located ~25km south-west of Kalgoorlie, Western Australian in the Eastern Goldfields.
The region is among the most extensively explored and mined areas in Western Australia, and host to some of the world’s largest gold deposits. This premier mining location provides excellent access to existing infrastructure, and is proximal to power, roads, towns, skilled workforce and mining services to support future operations.
Previously operational and located on granted mining leases, the Bullabulling Project is significantly de-risked with substantial drilling and metallurgical work completed and granted Native Title Land Use Agreement.

Mineral Resource
The Bullabulling Project hosts a current Mineral Resource Estimate of 60Mt @ 1.2g/t Au for 2.3Moz of gold (Indicated and Inferred) as of December 2024.

Exploration and Studies
Bullabulling offers significant exploration upside, with a major 80,000m drilling program recently commenced to update the 2.3Moz Mineral Resource.
Drilling will focus on multiple resource extension targets at depth and along strike, as well as in-fill drilling of the existing Resource to upgrade confidence classifications.
The Project has strong foundations to support the near-term production target with well-understood metallurgy from extensive historical testing, including approximately 12,000 drill holes for 530,000 metres.
Significant metallurgical testing previously completed supports recoveries of 87% across the Project and meaningful historical production in the 1990s of ~3.9Mt of ore recovering ~179,000 oz of gold when the gold price was ~A$500 per ounce.
Development Studies will be further accelerated by previous feasibility studies, existing permitting and the completion of baseline environment surveys.

Next Steps
Minerals 260 has a detailed and targeted plan to increase value and de-risk the Project, advancing Bullabulling towards production over the next three years.
Strong momentum is expected to continue throughout 2025 with regular news flow about drilling results and study updates.
