Scoping Study Outlines Material Near Term Cashflow Opportunity
through Low Capex Treatment of Van Uden Laterite Gold
■ At-surface, gold-bearing laterite material assessed as a potential low-cost, near term heap
leaching production opportunity at the Van Uden Gold Project in Western Australia
■ The current gold bearing laterite Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)2
contains ~1.1Mt @
0.52g/t Au for 17,700oz of gold, with significant opportunity to grow the laterite Resource.
■ Scoping Study based on Laterite MRE comprising ~90% Indicated Resources
■ Excellent initial financial metrics for the Scoping Study include:
o 250,000 tonnes per annum heap leach operation over an initial circa 3 year mine life for
total recovered gold of ~13,630 ounces at a 90% gold recovery
o Initial Life of Mine Net Revenue3
of ~A$83.2 million
o Pre-tax free operating cashflow of ~A$48.3 million
o Forecast average All-In-Sustaining-Cost (AISC) of A$2,835/oz
o Pre-production capital cost of A$14.2 million (including contingency)
o Pre-tax NPV8 of ~A$26.8 million
o Pre-tax IRR of ~121%
o Payback Period of ~12 months
■ Significant potential upside and expansion opportunities include:
o Recently identified large scale mineralised laterite targets outside the current MRE are
currently being drilled to grow the resource to increase inventory and mine life
o An additional 62,400oz of gold2
(~1.85Mt @ 1.05g/t Au) of transitional material is
considered prospective for heap leach extraction and may be included in future
development scenarios
■ Early stage discussions have commenced for non-dilutive financing solutions to fund
potential capital costs associated with the Van Uden Heap Leach Project. Discussions are
preliminary and there is no certainty that a non-dilutive funding solution will be concluded
■ Enhancement Studies continue to assess opportunities for further improvement
■ Key workstreams underway include:
o Resource expansion drilling to extend existing defined laterite mineralisation1
;
o Heap leach metallurgical testing of transitional material; and
o Evaluation of larger-scale heap leach development options.

Cautionary Statement – Scoping Study
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement is a preliminary technical and economic
assessment of the potential viability of a heap leach development at the Van Uden Gold Project.
The study has been completed to an accuracy level appropriate for a Scoping Study and is
based on low-level technical and economic assessments. It is insufficient to support the
estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this
stage.
The Scoping Study is based on laterite resources comprising Indicated (89.8%) and Inferred
(10.2%) Resources. 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
conversion of Mineral Resources to higher confidence categories or that the production targets
outlined in this announcement will ultimately be realised.
The production targets and forecast financial information referred to in this announcement are
based on assumptions detailed in the Scoping Study and there can be no assurance that all
assumptions will prove correct, or that the outcomes indicated by the study will be achieved.
To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study. Funding in the order of A$15
million will likely be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that TG Metals will
be able to raise that amount of funding when needed. It is also possible that such funding may
only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of TG Metals
existing shares.
Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based
solely on the results of the Scoping Study.
This announcement has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition and
the ASX Listing Rules. All material assumptions on which the forecast financial information is
based have been included in this announcement and are also outlined in the attached JORC
Table disclosures.

TG Metals CEO, Mr. David Selfe stated;
“The Scoping Study results show an excellent on-site processing pathway to production that can
generate significant free cashflow in comparison to our market capitalisation at a low upfront
capex. This will in turn set up the Van Uden Project for further expansion both on the heap leach
proposal and into the Van Uden primary gold deposit.
The Scoping Study has been completed with a conservative approach that has the potential to
be further enhanced by applying increased material heap heights and expansions to existing
laterite resources via infill and extensional drilling. In addition, a heap leach operation can easily
co-exist with the future larger insitu pit development, potentially providing two income streams
from the one Van Uden project area, maximising the available gold resources.”

Overview
The Scoping Study demonstrates potentially excellent financial metrics for the Van Uden Laterite
Project (Table 1) based on a stand-alone open pit mine supplying at surface gold bearing laterite
material to a conventional crush, screen, agglomerate and heap leach processing operation.
The Company considers the Van Uden Laterite Project to be technically low risk given an
extremely low strip ratio and demonstrated high processing recoveries from the Company’s own
testwork.
The Scoping Study was completed to an overall +/- 35% accuracy using key parameters and
assumptions set out in Table 1 and further described in Chapters following.
The main study activities include the following outsourced activities:
• Supply and delivery of heap leach plant
• Construction of heap leach pads
• Mining of laterite and haulage to the heap leach plant
• Installation of a mobile mining camp at the Van Uden site
Physical And Financial Summary
The Scoping Study demonstrates a robust economic case, generating a total operating pre-tax
cashflow of A$48.3M over an initial ~3 year mine life at an AISC of A$2,835/oz.
Current market conditions have been factored into the Scoping Study costs and show that the
Van Uden Laterite project is expected to be highly competitive alongside other active WA gold
operations.
A gold price of US$4,400/oz, at a 0.7 AUD/USD exchange rate, has been used in the Scoping
Study in a continually strong gold market.

Opportunities
There are multiple potential opportunities to build and enhance on the Scoping Study including:
• Increasing laterite resources on existing Mining Leases via infill and extensional drilling
of previously defined laterite surface occurrences
• Utilising other mineralisation types, including transitional material for inclusion in the
heap leach
• Increasing production rates by increasing heap height from the current assumed 4m
• Parallel Toll Milling and/or Ore Purchase for the primary resource to share mining and
administration costs and add second revenue stream
Risks
The risks are mainly external to the Van Uden Laterite Project and include:
• Commodity price and volatility risk including foreign exchange rate (FOREX)
• Diesel price, the current high diesel price environment impacts energy and mining costs
• Personnel sourcing, high industry wide demand for mining personnel

Introduction
TG Metals is seeking to develop the Van Uden Gold Heap Leach Project (the Project) by
constructing and operating the proposed mine and associated infrastructure. The Project
includes open-pit mining, a gold heap leach processing plant for the loading of gold onto carbon
to be stripped at a commercial carbon stripping plant and doré produced refined at the Perth Mint.
The heap leach operation includes a demonstration heap followed by a full commercial operation.
The heap leach operation includes reclaiming laterite mineralised ore crushing, screening,
agglomeration, stacking and heap leaching. The loaded carbon is recovered, screened,
dewatered, bagged and transported to a custom carbon stripping facility for further processing.
Following heap “washing” the leached residue is recovered from the heaps and returned to the
mined pits, residue storage facility (RSF). The in-pit residue storage facility, and supporting
infrastructure includes water bores and treatment, power supply to the site, utilities, maintenance
facilities, stores and minor administrative buildings including change rooms, bathroom, office and
consumables and reagents storage facilities. A camp will be installed at site to accommodate the
mine and process Plant workforce.
The Project will process 0.25 million tonnes per annum of run of mine (ROM) gold mineralised
laterite, producing approximately 70 tonnes per annum of gold loaded carbon containing circa
4,000 oz of gold per annum. The recovered carbon will be packed into 2 tonne bulka bags and
transported by truck to the custom carbon stripping facility for downstream processing to strip the
loaded gold, produce doré to be transported to the Perth Mint for refining. The gold bullion to be
sold on market.
Van Uden Gold Project contains 1.1 Mt resource of gold laterite with an average grade of 0.52
g/t gold. The Project has an initial Life of Mine (LOM) of ~3 years from the current existing
resource base with a further upside to be determined from the current resource drilling program.
TG Metal’s objective for the Van Uden Gold Heap Leach Project focus was to complete a Scoping
Study to define the heap leach design, capital and operational cost (to -35% / +35% level of
accuracy) associated with constructing and operating of the facilities of the mine, processing
plant, RSF and required infrastructure for the Project and prepare a project execution plan.
Study Parameters
The Van Uden Gold Heap Leach Project is considered a brownfields project located on
disturbed land and summarised scope below:
■ Mine: open pit with new and existing waste dumps, mine infrastructure, including
change rooms office and workshop. Mining will be undertaken by mining contractors
using conventional equipment such as trucks, bulldozers and water trucks. The laterite
mineralisation is considered free dig material and no drilling and blasting is required.
■ Process plant for 0.25 to 0.5 Mt/a average ROM feed capacity which includes:
o Crushing, screening conveyors and a crushed ore bin;
o Agglomeration, conveying and ore stacking;
o Leaching in an ILS/PLS configuration;

Project Location And Access
The Project is located in Western Australia (Figure5), 120 km south-west of Southern Cross-
Forrestania Greenstone belt, about 90 km northeast of Hyden. The site is accessed via a sealed
road from the Southern Cross turn-off from Great Eastern Highway and a sealed road from Hyden
along the Brookton Highway almost to the mine site.
The greater area around the TG Metals tenements has active mine sites for gold, nickel and
lithium. Some agricultural activities are supported around Southern Cross and Hyden. The
immediate area surrounding TG Metals tenements is previously disturbed land, Figure 4.

Figure 6 shows the location of the Van Uden Gold Heap Leach Project. The mining leases cover
the prospective gold mineralisation area sufficient to provide tonnages of mineralised gold
bearing laterite to support a minimum of 3-year gold heap leach project. Additional resources to
be proven by drilling currently underway, will support a further 3 years of operation. The existing
mineral resource estimate underpins the scoping study.

Geology And Mineralisation
The Van Uden Project area is located within the Forrestania portion of the Southern Cross-
Forrestania Greenstone Belt. This is a north-north-westerly trending crustal domain that extends
for over 300 km, from Carterton in the north to Hatters Hill in the south. The Southern Cross Belt
is considered to incorporate the greenstone rocks adjacent, and to the north of, the Intrusive
Parker Dome. The Forrestania Greenstone Belt is considered to comprise the remainder of the
Greenstones to the south of the Parker Dome.
The Forrestania Greenstone Belt contains two distinct geological packages; a younger mafic-
ultramafic suite intercalated with a sequence of immature clastic sediments (“Package 1”), and
an older mafic-ultramafic sequence (“Package 2”). Both packages are regionally folded into a
north-plunging synform with steep west, and shallow east dipping limbs. This fold pattern
produces three regionally recognisable zones; these being the Eastern, Central and Western
Domains.
The basal rocks of the “Eastern Domain” comprise a thick sequence of tholeiitic basalts with
minor high-Mg basalt flows and exhalative sediment interflow horizons. These are overlain by the
600m thick “Bounty Sequence” comprising a lower komatiitic high MgO olivine mesocumulate,
an upper komatiitic low MgO pyroxenite with locally developed gabbroic differentiates and
intercalated BIFs, and all overlain by high MgO basalts.
The Basal rocks of the “Western Domain” comprise a relatively thin sequence of clastic to
arenaceous metasediments. They are overlain by a thick ultramafic sequence comprising a lower
komatiitic high MgO olivine orthocumulate, and an upper komatiitic low MgO pyroxenite with
locally developed gabbroic differentiates and intercalated interflow sediments. These are overlain
by a thick sequence of high MgO basalts with associated interflow sediments.
Thus both the Eastern and Western Domains are essentially similar in composition and
genetically related.
Between these two related Domains is the stratigraphically upper sequence of +1000m thick
pelitic sediments of the Central Domain. These sediments form the top of the Forrestania Belt
Sequence of greenstones and are dominantly pelitic and psammitic schists with minor iron rich
garnet bearing units, thin BIF lenses and bands of graphitic/carbonaceous schists. Outcrops of
these sediments is sparse and forms low quartz scree covered rises. Local intense laterization,
especially at the Domain contacts, has allowed the formation of hardcap plateaus that appear as
distinct topographic highs and “ridgelines”.
Major shear zones are recorded within the Forrestania Belt and separate the three domains. The
Mt Holland Shear defines the Central and Eastern Domain’s contact. Likewise, the Van Uden
Shear separates the Central and Western Domains. These converge in the southern part of the
Greenstone Belt roughly halfway between the Flying Fox mine and the Cosmic Boy Mine and
effectively pinch out the Central Domain. Additional shear zones are recorded as both parallel
and cross-cutting stratigraphy dominantly orientated north south; and north north-west to south
south-east.
The Forrestania Greenstone Belt was metamorphosed to amphibolite grade facies under static
conditions with preservation of primary textures and structures. Localised zones of annealed
(retrograde) greenschist facies are seen in some areas. The belt is enclosed by ovoid syngenetic
granite-gneiss complexes, and their emplacement has folded the rocks along anticlinal/synclinal
axis that trend NNW. Some E-W compression is seen on the belt margins adjacent to the ovoid

granitic complexes due to emplacement “ballooning”. Numerous roughly east-west striking
Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the north trending granite-greenstones). These are
concentrated into a regular grouped spacing of approximately 1.2km. They have a spatial
association with gold mineralisation, but postdate the main gold mineralisation timing, and may
represent the major crustal features that created these Mesothermal fluid pathways
The Van Uden gold deposit covers a 2.5 km long section of the 54 km long Van Uden Shear
Zone. This shear zone is host to other notable nearby gold deposits including Teddy Bear to the
north and Bad Bat East to the south. The shear dips to the East at between 40 to 50 degrees
Mineralisation
At Van Uden, gold mineralisation occurs in six historic localities now incorporated into a
continuous single zone. These localities from north to south are Dieman (pit) Heems, Kirk, Piglet,
Tasman (pit) and Zeeman. The intrusive Binneringie Dolerite crosscuts the greenstone belt north
of the Dieman area.
Mineralisation occurs at or peripheral to the Van Uden Shear, in both Mafic/Ultramafic rocks of
the Western Domain and finer grained metasediments of the Central Domain. Horizontal faulting
with 20-30m of sinistral offset is developed near surface and is especially evident in the southern
and northern parts of the Van Uden gold deposit. This flat faulting has allowed for open space
development along the Van Uden Shear and hosts the thickest zones of gold mineralisation.
Laterite development is strongest over the top of the flat zones where they occur near current
topographic surface.
Three styles of gold mineralisation are recognised at Van Uden:
• Primary gold-sulphide mineralisation (Figure 8) within quartz veining and associated
alteration within sediments of the Central Domain and Mafics of the Western Domain.
• Secondary oxide and transitional mineralisation (Figure 8) with a very thin zone of gold
depletion seen in the pallid zone.
• Laterite mineralisation (Figure 7) within residual pisolite rich gravels with minor induration
of ferricrete (and to a lesser degree calcrete).
Additionally, four structural styles to mineralisation in both Primary and Secondary settings are
identified:
• Van Uden Shear “Feeder Zone” style, which can be high grade and mostly between 2 m
to 5 m thick
• Flat Fault Zone style, which can be between 2 m to 20 m thick.
• Open space sigmoidal dilation mineralisation developed above and below the Van Uden
Shear/Flat fault interface, and thickest with the sediments of the Central Domain and dips
to the east.
• Brecciated dilation zone mineralisation seen in the Tasman Pit area, developed west of
the Van Uden and dips to the west.
Laterite mineralisation is hosted in Goethite dominant Pisolitic surface gravels formed via
weathering laterisation. The Pisolites are 5mm to 20mm in size, with some larger pisolites formed
via accretion of 2 or more together into 1. Interstitial grit is decomposed rock and soil material.
There appears to be minimal induration throughout, mostly attributed to the laterites location

being generally on topographical highs (no ponding of water which is the cause of cementation
induration). Minor silcrete rich pisolites are observed, more numerous in laterite over top of
sediments. Gold mineralisation appears to be as coatings and interstitial to the pisolites, which
allows for excellent dissolvability via leaching fluids.

Mineral Resource Estimate
The MRE for the Van Uden Gold Project is reported in accordance with The JORC Code (2012
Edition) and was reported to the ASX on April 2026. The MRE statement also relates to
Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) estimates of in situ tonnes
and grade, with the relative accuracy and confidence level in the MRE results reflected in the
reporting of the Mineral Resources as Indicated and Inferred. The MRE is reported from all blocks
within the interpreted gold cut-off mineralised zone envelopes that fall within the Indicated and
Inferred classification zones

NOTES: 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.
The laterite portion of the mineralisation has been reported at a cut-off grade of 0.10 g/t Au by area within a
A$6,000/oz Au optimised pit shell. All other material types are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t Au by area
within a A$6,000/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 competent person to demonstrate that a mineral deposit has the potential to be economically
extracted in the future
Geotechnical
Surface geotech testwork or analysis was completed to support the scoping study assumptions.
The risk was considered low as the mine pits are <4m at their deepest point and the heap leach
process plant has little equipment that require major civil work.
The vendor recommended crushing circuit is skid mounted. The scoping study has assumed no
