Quarterly Activities Report

Period ending September 30, 2025

The Board of Santana Minerals Ltd (Company) is pleased to present its activities report for Q1 of the 2025/2026

Financial Year.

The quarter was one of significant progress as the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary Matakanui Gold

Ltd progressed its flagship asset, the Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project (BOGP) toward commercialisation.

Key achievements for the Quarter include:

▪ The completion and announcement of an Updated Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and development plan for the

BOGP delivered outstanding fiscal metrics and a reduced initial capital requirement.

▪ A solid rise in gold prices since the Updated PFS has increased the forecast After-Tax NPV

6.5

to approximately

A$2.05 billion

1

for the initial project plan, based on a gold price of A$6,000/oz (as at 29 October 2025).

▪ Ongoing resource definition and step-out drilling continue to return high-grade intercepts from the Rise &

Shine (RAS) system, which now extends over more than 2 km of strike, with further step-outs underway. A sub-

parallel ore zone has intersected stacked, near-surface mineralisation under the Rise and Shine Valley,

indicating potential for southerly extensions to the planned ultimate pit.

▪ The Company has fulfilled its strategic objective of securing freehold ownership of the land on which key

project infrastructure will be constructed, as well as areas covering the down-plunge extensions of the RAS ore

system planned for future underground mining. This includes legally binding agreements to acquire the

majority (2,880 hectares) of Ardgour Station, conditional upon Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval. The

acquisition also includes the buy-back of the 1% NSR attached to the existing Access Agreement with the

pastoralist, who has already confirmed support for the proposed mine.

▪ The Company completed a fully underwritten A$60 million capital raising with sophisticated investors through

Canaccord Genuity (Australia), together with a well-supported Share Purchase Plan (SPP) offered to all

shareholders at the same price. These raisings provided sufficient capital for the proposed land purchases,

early construction works, and ongoing working capital, enabling the Company to close the quarter with gross

proceeds of approximately A$100 million.

Key achievements subsequent to the end of the Quarter include:

▪ A legally binding agreement was executed to acquire 889 hectares of freehold land from Bendigo Station,

covering the majority of the defined Mineral Resources to be mined by the Project, together with the buy-back

of the 1.25% NSR royalty on the first one million ounces of gold production from that land. Completion of the

transaction remains subject to consent from the OIO.

▪ Lodgement of the Project’s consent application under the new Fast-track Approvals Act commenced following

the collation of all required technical works and studies, and payment of the application fee, marking a major

milestone toward development and commercialisation.

Operational Activities – Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project (“BOGP”)

The September quarter marked another period of strong progress for the BOGP, with key milestones achieved across

technical, land acquisition, and engineering workstreams. The Company executed binding agreements to acquire the

freehold land covering the principal mining areas at Bendigo and Ardgour Stations, securing long-term ownership of

the Project area and removing associated royalty obligations. Resource drilling continued to extend the Rise & Shine

deposit, while engineering partnerships with MACA Interquip Mintrex were formalised and early site works advanced

in preparation for future construction readiness.

The quarter culminated in the completion of all technical works and studies required to support the Project’s consent

application, and subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company commenced lodgement its comprehensive

application with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) under the new Fast-track Approvals Act. This represents

a major regulatory milestone for the BOGP and confirms the Project’s readiness to advance toward development within

the prescribed six-month timeframe following acceptance into the Fast-track review process.

Land Acquisitions

During and subsequent to the September quarter, the Company finalised key land transactions critical to the

development of the BOGP. As announced on 2 July 2025 (Bendigo-Ophir Project Land Acquisition) and 16 October 2025

(Key Freehold Land and Royalties Purchased), Santana entered into binding agreements to acquire Ardgour Station and

Bendigo Station freehold land covering the principal mining areas that host the RAS, SREX (SRX), SREX East (SRE) and

Come In Time (CIT) deposits. The acquisitions collectively secure ownership of the lands required for the proposed

mine development, processing facilities and supporting infrastructure, removing long-term tenure uncertainty and

aligning the Project footprint entirely within Company-controlled freehold property.

The acquisition agreements also include the extinguishment of royalties. Based on the Updated PFS metrics released

in July 2025 (using a A$4,950/oz gold price) removal of these royalties would reduce the Project’s All-In Sustaining Cost

(AISC) from A$1,842/oz to approximately A$1,784/oz, representing a material improvement in project margins and

free cash flow generation.

Ownership of the freehold land significantly de-risks the Project across permitting, development, operational and

closure phases, providing direct control over land access and enhances the Company’s ability to potentially secure

additional water rights associated with the acquired properties.

Settlement of the acquisitions remains subject to approval by the New Zealand OIO, which the Company anticipates

receiving notification of prior to the broader project approvals under the Fast-track process.

Updated PFS 2025 - recap

The Updated PFS, released on 1 July 2025, confirmed the BOGP as a large-scale, long-life and technically robust

development, ready to transition from study phase to execution following approvals. The update incorporated the

March 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate, which materially improved confidence in the high-grade (HG1) domain at RAS

and underpinned a more selective, staged mining strategy.

The updated mine plan defined seven RAS open pit stages, producing 11.2 Mt of ore at an average grade of 2.75 g/t

Au for 993 koz, supplemented by a small Srex (SRX) satellite pit adding a further 30 koz. Underground production

commences in Year 7, extending the total mine life to 13.8 years. The underground inventory totals 3.8 Mt at 2.6 g/t

Au for 316 koz, accessed via longhole stoping with paste fill to maximise recovery and maintain geotechnical stability.

Together, the open pit and underground plans support a sustained production profile of approximately 120 koz per

annum during peak years, providing a strong operational base for future expansion.

Processing is based on a conventional 1.2 Mtpa carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant designed for high recoveries (93% at RAS)

and low operating risk, with a straightforward path to expand to 1.8 Mtpa if required. The circuit incorporates three-

stage crushing, ball milling, gravity recovery and CIL with full cyanide detox and arsenic removal to meet New Zealand

environmental standards. Overall, the Updated PFS outlines a capital-efficient, flexible and environmentally robust

operation, positioning the Company to advance permitting, financing and early works ahead of targeted construction

in the first half of 2026.

Early Works and Execution Readiness

Significant progress was made during the quarter to position the BOGP for development. Permitted early works are

now underway, including access road widening, site preparation, and installation of key water supply and pipeline

infrastructure, ensuring that enabling works progress in step with the regulatory pathway.

With permitting and technical workstreams advancing in parallel, the Company has also intensified contractor

engagement and execution planning. A key milestone was the signing of an engineering and construction agreement

with MACA Interquip Mintrex, providing a collaborative framework for detailed design, procurement and construction

readiness activities ahead of full project approval and delivery.

Exploration and Resource Definition Drilling

Drilling during the September quarter was directed toward resource expansion and definition at RAS North, targeting

extensions of the high-grade mineralised system beyond the current development envelope. The program comprised

both infill and step-out drilling designed to define geological continuity, improve grade definition, and evaluate the

potential to incorporate additional high-grade material into the prospective underground inventory. Results from this

program are expected to further enhance project scale and demonstrate upside potential relative to the Updated PFS

mine plan.

In parallel, a diamond drill rig continued the RINA sterilisation program, delineating zones suitable for mine

infrastructure placement while simultaneously testing structurally favourable corridors for potential new mineralised

trends.

RAS North Drilling

Drilling at RAS North continued to advance both definition and extensional targets within the northern portion of the

RAS system, confirming sustained high-grade mineralisation beyond the limits of the Updated PFS mine plan and

providing material upside to the future underground inventory.

The infill and resource-definition program returned multiple outstanding intercepts within the HG1 domain, improving

grade continuity and confidence in the HG1 domain. Best results include:

▪ MDD450R with 31.9m @ 5.3g/t Au from 303.1m

▪ MDD469 with 20.0m @ 8.2g/t Au from 396.0m

▪ MDD458 with 11.1m @ 9.6g/t Au from 296.9m

▪ MDD448 with 21.7m @ 4.1g/t Au from 271.3m

▪ MDD439 with 25.9m @ 2.8g/t Au from 482.1m

These results demonstrate consistent thickness and tenor typical of the HG1 core and have successfully upgraded

geological confidence within the northern Inferred zone. The drilling has increased the interpreted width of the high-

grade domain to ~150 metres, representing a ~60 m lateral extension north of the March 2025 HG1 boundary, while

maintaining strong structural and grade continuity.

Figure 5: Plan View of Notable Holes Drilled During the September Quarter with Resultant HG1 Expansion Potential

Step-Out Drilling

Step-out drilling further down-plunge continued to highlight the growth potential of RAS, with hole MDD466

intersecting 10.9m @ 3.0g/t Au from 591.1 m (true width 10.1 m), a ~250m down-plunge extension of previous high-

grade mineralisation and approximately 70m below the current underground Reserve.

This intercept confirms the continuation of the RAS system at depth and along strike, reinforcing the potential for long-

term underground resource growth. The hole remains one of the northernmost and deepest intersections to date and

is expected to anchor follow-up step-out drilling planned for the December quarter.

RINA Drill Programme – announced subsequent to quarter end

The RINA sterilisation drilling program (25 holes, 7,860m) has expanded geological understanding of the Rise and Shine

Shear Zone (RSSZ), reaffirming it as a district-scale, gold-fertile system that remains largely untested beyond existing

deposits. Drilling across a 2km strike from Ardgour Flats to Thomsons Saddle encountered widespread anomalous gold

values, indicating that mineralisation persists well outside the current resource envelope.

Notably, hole MDD438 (13.1m @ 0.31g/t Au) and MDD406 (scattered gold over 45m) confirm mineralisation continuity

within the RSSZ and below the Thomsons Gorge Fault. Earlier results such as MDD368 (45.1m @ 0.28g/t Au, including

3.1m @ 1.32g/t Au) demonstrate veining styles identical to those hosting high-grade ore at RAS, underscoring the

system’s consistency.

Figure 7: Plan View of Main Project Area Showing Anomalous RINA Mineralisation with Three Notable Intercepts

The wide 500m drill spacing, greater than the ~400m width of the RAS orebody, highlights how little of the corridor

has been effectively tested. Combined with recent RAS drilling that shows strong northerly extensions, results suggest

the RSSZ continues to an underexplored northern corridor beyond Shepherds Creek.

These findings reinforce the scale potential of the RSSZ and point to significant upside through systematic follow-up

drilling.

Mapping and Regional Exploration

Soil sampling and geological mapping have continued across the broader project area, extending well beyond the core

deposits. Work continues to target anomalous gold and arsenic trends, carbonate alteration (particularly ankerite), and

structural corridors exhibiting pathfinder signatures comparable to those observed at RAS, SRX and CIT.

Additional soil grids have been completed across several regional prospects, refining the definition of gold and arsenic

anomalies. In parallel, geophysical programs are now underway to integrate these datasets, correlating coincident soil

anomalies, mapped alteration zones and structural interpretations to prioritise new drill targets.

Mapping has also advanced the delineation of the Thomson Gorge Fault (TGF) as it transects eastward beyond

Thomsons Saddle toward Ophir. Approximately 5 km of additional fault trace mapping has been completed, providing

valuable structural context for ongoing soil sampling and the design of the next exploration phase.

Permitting and Fast-track Approvals

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company commenced the submission process of its FTA application to the

EPA for processing, including payment of the NZ$390k application fee. The BOGP is listed in Schedule 2 of the FTA Act

as a development of Regional and National Significance, and lodgement of the application marks a major regulatory

milestone for the Company as it advances toward development and financing.

The submission follows completion of all required technical works and studies and reflects years of intensive

environmental, social and engineering investigations across multiple disciplines. The comprehensive application

demonstrates the depth of work undertaken to ensure the Project exceeds the requirements of the new Fast-track

regime.

Processing of the application will commence following formal acceptance by the EPA, with a decision expected within

approximately six months.

This follows the earlier submission of the Mining Permit Application (MPA) to NZ Petroleum & Minerals in March,

formally transitioning the Project from exploration to development. The MPA has advanced through technical

assessment and is expected to be granted in the ensuing quarter.

Together, the FTA and MPA form the core regulatory foundation for development, providing a streamlined and time-

bound pathway toward construction commencement in the first half of 2026 and first gold production within

approximately 15 months of build commencement.

Corporate and Appendix 5B Disclosures

Capital Raise

In August, the Company completed a placement of 103.4 million shares at A$0.58 per share to sophisticated investors,

raising gross proceeds of A$60 million through Canaccord Genuity. This was followed by a Share Purchase Plan (SPP)

with strong participation from existing shareholders, contributing a further A$3.0 million. The capital raising initiatives

have strengthened the Company’s balance sheet and will support early works, permitting, and financing activities

ahead of a Final Investment Decision.

Financials

The Company closed the quarter with a cash balance of A$97M.5 net of payables.

The Company’s Appendix 5B (Quarterly Cashflow Report) attached includes an amount in item 6.1 which constitutes

executive ($191k) and non-executive ($83k) directors’ fees paid during the Quarter. In addition, item 6.2 includes an

amount which constitutes project management ($7.5k) and equipment hire fees ($0.5k) paid to directors during the

Quarter.

During the period, the Company spent $10.5m on exploration activities, project studies and project development costs

to advance the BOGP in New Zealand.

Cautionary Statement – Inferred Resources Included in Production Target


Of the Mineral Resources planned for extraction under the Updated PFS production model approximately 93% is within the Indicated Resources category, with

the balance (7%) being classified within the Inferred Resources category. 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 determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be

realised. The production target and the forecast financial information derived from the production target set out in this report were first contained in a public
