Gold Drilling Results from Van Uden
Continue to Impress
Highlights
TG Metals Limited (TG Metals or the Company) (ASX:TG6) is pleased to provide the results
from the ongoing drilling at the Van Uden Gold Project (Van Uden or the Project).
These results are from the shallow reverse circulation (RC) drillholes in the central and
southern areas of the Van Uden gold deposit (Figure 1), targeting resource expansion and
geological understanding between previous drill lines and down dip. Many holes intersected
multiple gold zones in each drillhole. Result highlights include:
• 8m @ 2.74 g/t Au from 32.0m, including 3m @ 3.96 g/t Au
• 4m @ 1.36 g/t Au from 45.0m and 8m @ 0.90 g/t Au from 52.0m and 5m @ 1.57 g/t
Au from 70.0m
• 4m @ 1.01 g/t Au from 55.0m and 5m @ 1.60 g/t Au
• 5m @ 1.13 g/t Au from 30.0m
• 4m @ 0.60 g/t Au from 33.0m and 6m @ 0.97 g/t Au from 39.0m
TG Metals CEO, Mr. David Selfe stated;
“Drilling results continue to come in for the shallow drilled parts of the Van Uden deposit as we
continue with drilling the down dip extensions. Although these new drillholes are shallow, some
have drilled beyond the limits of the current MRE. We are now drilling even further down dip,
with several assays pending for drillholes collared on the eastern edge of the conceptual pit
shell. The push is on to get as much drilling as possible done ahead of a planned update of the
MRE in early 2026.
Gold City drilling results should be out of the laboratory shortly and we can add those assay
results to the downhole telemetry data.”
■ Drill assays returned from the central and southern areas at Van Uden
■ High tenor results include:
■ 8m @ 2.74 g/t Au, including 6m @ 3.96 g/t Au
■ 5m @ 1.57 g/t Au, including 3m @ 1.82 g/t Au
■ Adding gold ounces to the current MRE continues to be the focus
■ Drilling to test depth extensions is ongoing and progressing well
■ Approvals granted to drill first areas outside and along strike of the
existing mineral resource

Van Uden Drilling
The ongoing purpose of this drilling campaign is to expand on the current Van Uden mineral
resource estimate (MRE) via infill and down dip extensions and provide data to improve
geological understanding. These results are from the central and southern parts of the Van
Uden deposit, Figure 1 shows the location of the drillholes.

The RC drilling was conducted with a truck mounted Hydco-Moses drill rig. This rig is suitable
for shallow drilling (-110m) in the oxidised to semi-oxidised regolith. A total of 16 drillholes are
included in this report for 1086m of RC drilling. The drillhole dips are all -60o at an azimuth of
250o to align with the previous historical grid. See Table 1 for drill collar information.
The reported drilling is in the central and southern areas within the vicinity of the current MRE.
Additional drilling has been completed throughout the resource area with assay results
pending. See Figure 1 for drill collar locations.
As per previous recent drilling, individual 1m samples were assayed using the Photon assay
technique, which utilises a larger sample charge than fire assay. This has the potential to
reduce the “nugget effect” caused by coarse gold particles. Several drillholes recorded
multiple gold mineralised intercepts, refer to Table 2. Most were anticipated from previous
adjacent historical drilling however new positions based on a reinterpretation of flat fault
mineralisation and small displacement mafic hosted mineralisation down dip were also
confirmed, see Figure 2. Mineralisation remains open down dip in these locations and plans
are underway to further test these gold zones at depth.

Follow-up Work
The drilling underway at Van Uden will be used to update the current resource model (MRE)
(Table A).
Currently a large capacity RC drill rig is drilling positions targeting down dip extensions which
have not previously been drilled.
Assays are pending for the maiden exploration drilling program recently completed at the Gold
City prospect, 20km south of the Van Uden resource area.
Assays are also pending for several drillholes at the Van Uden deposit, Figure 1 shows the
collar locations of drilling with pending assays in this area.
A further programme of work (POW) has been approved for drilling along strike and outside
of the Van Uden MRE influence. This drilling will be undertaken once drill pad clearing has
been completed.

Van Uden Gold Project Description
The Project is located on the Forrestania Greenstone Belt, Figure 3, 90km east-northeast of
Hyden and 120km south of Southern Cross. It is close to the Marvel Loch (producing) and
Westonia - Edna May (care & maintenance) gold processing Plants and is 130km from the
Company’s established Burmeister lithium deposit at the Lake Johnston Project.
Van Uden Gold consists of an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource as per Table A below
on four granted mining leases, four granted exploration licences, one exploration licence
application and two miscellaneous licences (for haul roads). The Project lies to the west of the
Mt Holland lithium mine, south of the operating Marvel Loch gold Plant, and southeast of the
Edna May gold Plant.
Table A: MRE – Van Uden Gold Deposit
The Mineral Resources statement conforms to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) 2012 Edition. All tonnages are dry metric tonnes. It has been reported
at a cut-off grade of 0.35 g/t Au by area within a A$5,000/oz Au optimised pit shell based on mining parameters
and operating costs typical for Australian open pit extraction deposits of a similar scale and geology. Minor
discrepancies may occur due to rounding of appropriate significant figures.
The resources comply with the Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE), a key principle
in mineral resource reporting that requires the qualified person to demonstrate that a mineral deposit has the
potential to be economically extracted in the future.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• 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 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.
• All holes were sampled at 1 m intervals using an on-board Ox
Cyclone Sampling system with fixed cone splitter engineered for
the rig.
• Two samples (Original + Duplicate) were collected each metre,
representing 12.5 % of total cyclone discharge per split.
• Certified reference materials (CRMs) were inserted every 20
samples, and coarse blanks every 40 samples. All samples were
dry.
• Samples were transported to Laboratory: SGS Australia Pty Ltd,
Kalgoorlie WA (17 Stockyard Way) for PhotonAssay™ PAAU02,
two-cycle analysis on pulverised material.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).
• Reverse-circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken using a Hydo
Moses truck mounted rig (JDC Drilling, Southern Cross WA)
The rig was equipped with a:
o face sampling pneumatic hammer,
o ELGI 350 PSI, 900cfm Compressor
o 700 PSI @ 1400 CFM Hurricane auxiliary booster
o KL remote rod handlerT, and
o TJM hands free break out system.
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.
• Sample recovery was visually assessed and recorded by comparing
the two splitter outputs each metre.
• All samples were dry with negligible loss.
• Given the dry conditions and fixed splitter configuration, no material
bias is expected.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
• RC drill cutting of the metre interval was sieved and placed into a
chip tray for geological logging and future reference. Clay intervals
in regolith were not sieved, however any remnant rock/hard
material were sieved and washed for identification.
• TG Metals Limited geological logging system:
o Recognises fresh rock vs regolith.
o Is both qualitative and quantitative.
o Industry and geological standards were followed recording
every detail observed.
o Every interval (m) drilled was logged.
o 20m interval Chip trays were labelled and used to store a
small representative sample for future reference.
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.
• No core
• Samples were split at the rig using a fixed cone splitter, producing
two by 12.5 % sub-samples per metre.
• All samples were transported to SGS Kalgoorlie for preparation and
PhotonAssay™ analysis.
• Laboratory preparation (SGS Kalgoorlie) included:
o Drying at 105 °C (< 3 kg) — G_DRY
o Crushing 90 % < 3.35 mm — G_CRU_KG
o 500g PhotonAssay™ jar filled from crushed material
• Sample weights were recorded by SGS on receipt.
o CRMs and blanks returned results within expected limits.
o Field duplicates retained but not yet analysed.
• Sample sizes are considered appropriate to mitigate coarse gold
effects
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.
• Laboratory: SGS Australia Pty Ltd, Kalgoorlie WA (17 Stockyard
Way). Method: PhotonAssay™ PAAU02, two-cycle analysis on
pulverised material.
o Charge weight: 500g Detection limit: 0.03 ppm Au – 350 ppm
Au (over-range PAAU02H, 100 – 3500 ppm Au).
o Preparation: drying, crushing (90 % < 3.35 mm) prior to jar
fill.
o Precision may be reduced in samples with elevated U, Th or

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Ba.
• No umpire analyses to date. Lab blanks and standards used.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• All assays reviewed and verified internally by TG Metals geological
personnel prior to import into the master database.
• No twinned holes were drilled. However holes were drilled in
proximity to historical drillholes for comparative and additional data.
• Field data entry and office validation.
• No adjustments to assay data
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• Coordinate system: MGA94 Zone 50.
• Collar survey: GPS (+/- 3m accuracy). DGPS at conclusion of the
program
• Downhole survey: CHAMPS north-seeking gyro (continuous mode)
– manufactured by Downhole Surveys Pty Ltd
• Topography: LiDAR surface model.
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• Spacing considered appropriate for the resource infill drilling
campaign.
• The drilling data will be used to update the current reported MRE
(Table A of the report)
• Assays reported on 1 m intervals; no compositing applied.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
• Mineralisation is interpreted as shear- and vein-hosted along local
contacts;
• Drilling orientations are appropriate
