Operating and Financial Review

Review of Operations

During the reporting period, the Company made substantial progress in advancing its 100%-owned Bendigo-

Ophir Gold Project (the ‘Project’) in New Zealand, strengthening its development pathway ahead of permitting

and construction in calendar year 2025.

A key milestone was the increase in JORC Indicated resources, which underpinned a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)

released in November. A subsequent resource upgrade, declared after the reporting period, has further

strengthened Project fundamentals ahead of an imminent PFS update. Extensive drilling and geological

modelling during the period focused on refining orebody geometries, optimising resource continuity, and

tightening deposit contours for more efficient mine planning and extraction.

The release of the PFS was a defining moment for the Company, confirming a long-life, highly profitable

operation expected to generate significant value for shareholders, as well as delivering economic benefits to

the New Zealand government and local communities.

The recognition of the Project as one of ‘national significance’, which led to its inclusion in Schedule 2 of New

Zealand’s Fast-track Approvals Act, presents a major opportunity to streamline permitting and advance towards

development. Looking ahead, the Company remains focused on securing regulatory approvals and progressing

towards a Final Investment Decision (FID) by mid-to-late 2025. Trade-off studies are underway to optimise mine

design and reduce development costs, while financing discussions progress in parallel to position the Project

for funding and execution in the coming months.

Highlights for the Half Year:

 The Company increased its Indicated gold resources by 152,000oz, bringing the total to 1.45Moz in July,

and then 1.54Moz subsequent to the end of the reporting period.

 A PFS was completed, confirming strong Project economics associated with an initial nine years of gold

production from an open pit and underground mine. At a spot gold price of A$4,000/oz, the Net Present

Value (NPV

8

) was estimated at A$1.06 billion post-tax with a 68% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and a

payback period of less than one year from the start of production.

 Over 13,120m of drilling was conducted across the Project, targeting resource upgrades and expansion,

particularly at Rise and Shine (RAS), Srex (SRX), Srex East (SRE) and Come-in-Time (CIT).




- 3 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT

 The Company secured an exclusive option agreement for 92 hectares of land to support essential water

infrastructure and mine services.

 The Project was included on Schedule 2 of New Zealand’s Fast-track Approvals Act, potentially

expediting regulatory approvals and supporting FID by mid-to-late 2025.

Summary - Bendigo-Ophir Project Overview

During the period, the Company made significant progress in advancing its Project in Central Otago, New

Zealand. The Project area spans 292 square kilometres and is situated near the town of Cromwell,

approximately 90 kilometres northwest of OceanaGold's Macraes Gold Mine.


Figure 1: The Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project in the Otago Goldfields New Zealand

In July, the Company updated its Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), declaring 1.45Moz of gold in the Indicated

resource category, an increase of 152,000oz from the previous estimate (upgraded to 1.54Moz, subsequent to

the end of the reporting period, see Table 2). This update was made in preparation for developing a robust mine

plan and releasing a PFS.

The release of the PFS in November marked a key milestone for the Company, highlighting strong Project

economics associated with mining the flagship RAS deposit from open pit and underground. The study

estimated an initial capital expenditure of A$340 million, with an average annual gold production of 125,000

ounces over a 9.2-year mine life. It projected a post-tax, net present value (NPV

8

) of A$1.06 billion at a gold

price of A$4,000/oz and an impressive internal rate of return (IRR) of 68%, with a payback period of less than

one year from the start of production.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Drilling activities continued across the tenement, with 13,120m drilled, including 5,065m of diamond core at

the RAS deposit, primarily targeting the upgrade of Inferred resources to the Indicated JORC category, while

also collecting geotechnical data to refine pit design parameters. The RAS deposit remains open down-plunge,

presenting further opportunities for resource expansion.

An additional 2,520m has been drilled as part of the RAS-is-Not-Alone (RINA) sterilisation program, which is still

in progress, aiming to sterilise areas for mine infrastructure or identify mineralisation worthy of follow up.

Drilling also continued at the Srex (SRX), Srex East (SRE), and Come-in-Time (CIT) satellite deposits, with a focus

on upgrading their JORC categorisation for potential inclusion in the mine plan as early mill feed, or as

complementary mill feed to the high grade ore at RAS.

At SRX and SRE, 430m of drilling was completed, comprising 350m of diamond drilling and 80m of Reverse

Circulation (RC) drilling. At CIT, 3,890m was completed, including 2,890m of diamond core and 1,000m of RC

drilling.


Figure 2: Main Project area featuring RAS, CIT, SRX and SRE

Pre-Feasibility Study

The completion of the PFS marked a key milestone in advancing the Project towards development. The study

confirmed the Project's potential as a long-life, low-cost gold operation, with an early focus on high-grade ore

recovery. PFS metrics were based solely on Indicated Resources under JORC guidelines, with a minor amount

of Inferred material mined incidentally. Notably, an additional 770,000oz of Inferred resources remains at RAS

and is yet to be incorporated into the mine plan, pending further infill drilling.

The study outlined a nine-year initial mine life, producing approximately 125,000oz of gold per year,

underpinned by a 1.18Moz Probable Mining Reserve.




- 5 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The mine plan begins with an open-pit operation at RAS, delivering up to 150,000oz annually in the first three

years, allowing for a payback period of less than a year from production and self-funding of sustaining capital.

Underground production is set to commence in Year 4, operating alongside the continuing open-pit mine.

Pre-production capital is estimated at A$340M, which includes a provision for a 1.5Mtpa CIL processing plant,

and costs associated with the pre-strip of overburden to access the orebody. The Company is actively exploring

cost reduction opportunities, particularly around the pre-strip activities. Trade-off studies are underway to

optimise the open-pit and underground interface, with a focus on enhancing efficiency and lowering initial

development costs. Ounces produced over the initial 9.2 year mining term in the PFS are reflected in the chart

below in Figure 3.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Financial projections were estimated using a gold price of A$4,000/oz which resulted in an after-tax NPV8 of

A$1.06 billion and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 68%. The All-in-Sustaining-Cost (AISC) was estimated to be

A$1,416/oz, which resulted in A$1.8 billion of free cash flow generation over the first nine years of its

operational life. A base-case analysis was also presented using a gold price of A$2,894/oz which resulted in an

NPV8 of A$535M with an IRR of 42% and a payback of 1.67 years from the start of production.

Resource Definition Drilling

During the reporting period, the Company undertook extensive resource definition drilling programs across key

deposits to refine resource estimates and inform future development strategies. These drilling activities have

yielded substantial results, strengthening the geological understanding of the Project and guiding the next

stages of mine planning.

RAS High Grade Validation Program

A diamond drilling program was conducted at the RAS deposit to delineate the high-grade core and extend the

resource base. Initial results in July indicated consistently strong mineralisation, with further assays in August

confirming exceptional grades.

The most significant intercepts from this program were:

 MDD326: 41.6m @ 8.6g/t Au from 164.4m (true width 38.8m)

 MDD328: 41.8m @ 5.8g/t Au from 167.3m (true width 38.5m)

 MDD330: 39.5m @ 5.1g/t Au from 167.5m (true width 35.9m)

 MDD313: 30.7m @ 7.9g/t Au from 170.3m (true width 27.0m)

 MDD329: 34.5m @ 5.4g/t Au from 173.5m (true width 32.7m)

 MDD332: 35.4m @ 8.3g/t Au from 161.6m (true width 32.1m)

 MDD334: 26.6m @ 3.1g/t Au from 154.4m (true width 24.0m),and

24.0m @ 3.2g/t Au from 186.0m (true width 21.7m)

These results, shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, underscore the continuity and strength of the high-grade core at

RAS, with implications for profitable extraction and future resource expansion.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

RAS-is-Not-Alone RINA Program

Seven RINA diamond drill holes were completed, testing undercover targets beneath the TZ3 schist rock in areas

designated for future mine infrastructure (see Figure 6). The most significant intercept was:

 MDD368: 45.1m @ 0.28g/t Au from 431.9m below surface.

A follow-up drilling program is scheduled upon the conclusion of the first phase of the RINA campaign.

Regional RC drilling campaigns were also conducted, targeting potential sterilisation zones around Shepherd’s

Creek for the proposed mill site, as well as testing the Thomsons Gorge Fault contact in Rise and Shine Valley

and Ardgour Flats.


Figure 6 – Plan view of the Project area showing RINA hole program including MDD368

Srex (SRX) and Srex East (SRE) Deposits

Drilling at SRX and SRE focused on upgrading resources from Inferred to Indicated status, ensuring their

inclusion in the PFS. Near-surface mineralisation was confirmed, with a low strip ratio providing potential

economic advantages as a complementary ore source to RAS.

Notable intercepts included:

 MRC181: 11.0m @ 2.2g/t Au from 35.0m (true width 5.6m).

 MRC198: 7.0m @ 4.9g/t Au from 12.0m (true width 5.6m), and

8.0m @ 1.6g/t Au from 21.0m (true width 6.4m).

 MRC199: 10.0m @ 1.5g/t Au from 51.0m (true width 9.6m).

 MRC218: 11.0m @ 1.3g/t Au from 3.0m (true width 9.8m).




- 9 - DIRECTORS’ REPORT

 MDD324: 6.0m @ 3.4g/t Au from 51.0m (true width 5.8m)

These results enhance the Project’s resource base and offer greater flexibility in mine planning. It is likely that

SRX and SRE will be drilled with a close-spacing drill pattern in the ensuing period, relevant for evaluating its

continuity for mining, subject to gaining access to new drill tracks.

Come-in-Time (CIT) Deposit

Drilling at CIT aimed to assess the potential for high-grade shoots within the deposit. Assay results from hole

MDD371 highlighted the emergence of a high-grade core within the broader low grade mineralised system.

A total of 24 diamond drill holes were drilled during the reporting period, including two redrills. The best

recorded intercept was MDD371, with the following result:

 MDD371: 11.0m @ 9.5g/t Au from 33.0m (true width 7.0m), and

6.0m at 1.6g/t Au from 50.0m (true width 3.9m)

3.2m @ 10.9g/t Au from 65.8m (true width 2.1m)

CIT is currently undergoing a mineral resource update to integrate the findings of the recent drilling campaign.

Further analysis is in progress to evaluate the emergence of the high-grade core, which could significantly

impact future resource development.

The resource definition and exploration initiatives undertaken during the period have significantly refined the

geological framework of the Project. The integration of data from RAS, SRX, SRE, CIT, and the RINA program

provides a strong foundation for future growth and exploration. The Company remains focused on optimising

resource potential and advancing strategic mine planning to maximise Project value.

Land and Water Security

During the period, the Company entered into a binding and exclusive option agreement to acquire

approximately 92 hectares of strategic land within the Project area. This agreement grants the company the

rights to install essential water extraction and distribution infrastructure, including bores, pumps, and pipelines,

on the designated land. Securing these land and water rights is a critical step in ensuring the Project's

operational readiness and aligns with the Company’s commitment to advancing the Project toward

construction.

Fast-track Approvals Submission

During the reporting period, and in parallel to the works program, the Project was officially included in New

Zealand's Fast-track Approvals Act, a new law ratified on 23 December 2024 which aims to expedite the

development of nationally significant projects such as Bendigo-Ophir. Submissions into the Fast-track process

are open from February 2025, with Santana aiming to submit an application shortly thereafter.

The inclusion of the Bendigo-Ophir Project in the Fast-track Approvals Act is expected to facilitate timely

regulatory approval, bringing the Project closer to anticipated FID in mid-to-late 2025.

Key Conclusions and 2025 Forward Program

As the Company moves closer to FID, detailed engineering work continues to refine the Project's scale and

economic efficiency. Efforts are focused on optimising mine design, with particular attention on reducing pre-

strip requirements, lowering the strip ratio in the open pit, and minimising upfront capital costs. Key focus areas

in the coming months include:

 Progressing Fast-track Approvals to allow FID during calendar year 2025.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

 Optimising early-stage pit designs to minimise pre-strip volumes.

 Updating PFS economics based on a refined mine plan.

 Finalising Project financing to allow execution at FID.

 Strengthening relationships with our stakeholders.

 Ongoing resource definition drilling at RAS, SRX/SRE and CIT for increased confidence and resource

growth.

The mine permitting process remains well advanced, with preparations underway to submit the Fast-track

application at the earliest opportunity. In parallel, formal engagement with contractors and suppliers has

commenced, with processes initiated to secure Project partners.

In terms of Project funding, discussions with potential debt financiers are progressing, as the Company works

toward compiling a comprehensive, bankable dataset to support future funding arrangements.

To ensure a smooth transition into Project execution, key leadership recruitment has been a priority.

Appointments for critical roles are well advanced, reinforcing the Company’s confidence in securing approval

under the Fast-track consenting regime.

With strong momentum across engineering, permitting, financing, and operational planning, the Company is

well-positioned to deliver on its growth strategy and advance the Bendigo-Ophir Project towards development

in the coming months.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Santana Minerals Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial

report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2024 comprises the Company and its

subsidiaries (together referred to as the “consolidated entity”).

The consolidated annual financial report of the consolidated entity as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 is

available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 1, 371 Queen Street, Brisbane, Queensland

Australia or on the Company’s website at www.santanaminerals.com

2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial

Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001, and with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The accounting policies applied by the consolidated entity in this consolidated interim financial report are the

same as those applied by the consolidated entity in its consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended

30 June 2024.

The consolidated interim financial report does not include all of the information required for a full annual financial

report, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial report of the consolidated entity

as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public announcements made by Santana Minerals Limited

during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the

Corporations Act 2001.

Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an

understanding of the changes in financial position of the Group since the last consolidated financial report as at

and for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The condensed consolidated interim financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 12 March 2025.

3. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The consolidated interim financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional

currency. The consolidated interim financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis.

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial report requires management to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets

and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


In preparing this consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in

applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the

same as those applied to the consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024.





- 21 - NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. GOING CONCERN

.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable

to a “going concern” which assumes the consolidated entity will continue in operation for the foreseeable future

and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.


The consolidated entity has the ability to seek to raise funds from the public and intends to raise such funds as

and when required to complete its projects.


The consolidated entity currently has no source of operating cash inflows, other than interest income, and has

incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities for the period ended 31 December 2024 of

$9,604,164. At 31 December 2024, the consolidated entity had cash balances of $31,446,314 (30 June 2024:

$33,068,475) and net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $30,054,108 (30 June 2024:

$32,032,698).


Subsequent to the reporting period the consolidated entity had raised an additional $27,795,891 through the

issue of fully paid ordinary shares upon exercise of options at $0.036 per share.


The Consolidated Entity has the ability to seek to raise additional funds from shareholders or other investors and

intends to raise such funds as and when required to complete its projects.


The Directors have prepared cash flow projections that support the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue

as a going concern. These cash flow projections indicate the Consolidated Entity has sufficient cash resources to

meet its objectives. In the longer term, the development of economically recoverable mineral deposits found on

the Consolidated Entity’s existing or future exploration properties depends on the ability of the Consolidated

Entity to obtain financing through equity financing, debt financing or other means. If the Consolidated Entity’s

exploration programs are ultimately successful, additional funds will be required to develop the Consolidated

Entity’s properties and to place them into commercial production. The ability of the Consolidated Entity to arrange

such funding in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business

performance of the Consolidated Entity.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Each area of interest represents an operating segment, however for reporting purposes areas of interest are

aggregated where they are located in the same region and relate to the exploration of similar commodities. The

Consolidated Entity’s current areas of interest relate to the exploration of precious metals in New Zealand and

it has withdrawn from its project interest in Mexico. In reviewing segment results the Chief Executive Officer

and Board consider total expenditure on exploration and evaluation activities (expensed and capitalised) and

results of such activities.

Interests in associate – Southern Gold (Asia) Pty Ltd

37,949 81,032





Southern Gold (Asia) Pty Ltd (“SGA”, an associate) holds the interests in the Cambodian gold projects. SGA is a

party to an unincorporated joint venture agreement with Southern Gold Limited (SGL) in respect to Cambodian

Exploration Licences (CELs). Pursuant to the agreement, SGL has a 15% unincorporated joint venture interest in

the CELs, which is free carried until completion of a feasibility study.


SGA has also entered into a farm-out and incorporated joint venture agreement with Renaissance Cambodia Pty

Ltd (Renaissance) (the “Farm-Out Agreement”). Under the Farm Out Agreement Renaissance will manage SGA

and sole fund US$0.5million of exploration expenditure on each of the CELs in order to earn a 30% shareholding

in SGA. After earning the 30% shareholding, Renaissance can elect to sole fund a further US$1.0million of

exploration expenditure on each of the CELs over the following two years and increase its shareholding in SGA

to 60%.


When Renaissance has earned a 60% shareholding in SGA, the consolidated entity may elect to either contribute

to further exploration activities on the CELs and maintain its 40% shareholding in SGA, or alternatively elect not

to contribute, in which case Renaissance may earn a further 25% shareholding in SGA by continuing to manage

SGA and funding completion of a definitive feasibility study. During the definitive feasibility study period the

consolidated entity interests would be free carried.


Renaissance has met the expenditure requirements to earn a 60% interest in the Subsidiary. The consolidated

entity has elected not to contribute and is free carried to a definitive feasibility study.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Half-year Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:


the preparation of the Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with


Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001


such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the


Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Half-year Financial Report based on our review. ASRE

2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that

the Half-year Financial Report does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true

and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and its performance

for the Half-Year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134

Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a Half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible

for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is

substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and

consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant

matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
