ASX Announcement 30 April 2026
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES &
CASHFLOW REPORTS
Valiant Gold Limited (ASX: VAL) (Valiant or Company) is pleased to provide an update on
its activities for the quarter ended 31 March 2026.
HIGHLIGHTS
➢ Valiant completes ASX listing under the code “VAL” and commenced trading on
27 March 2026.
➢ Initial Public Offer raised a total of $75m (before costs).
➢ Comet mine dewatering strategy well advanced.
➢ Maiden diamond drill program has commenced at South Emu - Triton Mine, Reedy
South Project, with first assay results anticipated within 4-6 weeks.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
“Following a successful IPO and our first quarter as an ASX-listed company, we are now
focused on execution. At Comet, our dewatering strategy is well advanced, and a contractor
proposal for the works has been received and is currently under review. At Reedy, our maiden
diamond drilling program at South Emu–Triton is underway to test significant depth extensions
to the defined system and demonstrate that the current mineral resource is under-drilled at
depth, with the short-term opportunity to add material ounces into a mine plan recognised.”

OPERATIONAL UPDATE
COMET PROJECT
Figure 1 Comet Plan & Long Section1
As per the prospectus development plan, the Comet Project is the Company’s initial re-
start focus. During the quarter, meetings with potential underground mining contractors
were held and site visits arranged to plan dewatering of the Comet and Pinnacles
underground mines, which last operated in 2022. This work included assessment of initial
infrastructure requirements, validation of legacy data, and scenario planning. The
Company is currently in discussions with the shortlisted contractor and is aiming to
finalise engagement and commence dewatering and rehabilitation activities during the
coming quarter.
The Company has also finalised technical data reviews and defined a mining study scope
to engage specialist consultants to update legacy Life of Mine (LoM) designs, supporting
a competitive tender for underground mining at Comet and Pinnacles. Work is scheduled
to commence next quarter.

REEDY PROJECT
South Emu – Triton Mine maiden drill program commenced
Diamond drilling has commenced at South Emu-Triton Mine, Reedy Project (Figure 2), below
the existing Resource of 1.7Mt @ 4.00g/t Au for 224Koz of gold1. Historical production at South
Emu-Triton has totalled approximately >370 Koz since the 1930s.
Figure 2: Surface diamond drilling underway at South Emu-Triton Mine, Reedy Project.
The Phase 1 program consists of an initial 6 diamond holes for 5,000m of drilling and aims to
test significant step-outs at depth to defined resources, hosted by the Reedy shear (Figure 4).
This drill program is anticipated to take 3-4 months to complete, with first assays anticipated
in 4-6 weeks.
Should the Phase 1 proof of concept drilling prove successful, the drill program will be
expanded (Phase 2) with the aim of infilling and upgrading the existing resource, and testing
along strike, to increase the size and confidence of the resource with a view to materially
extend the potential mine life at Triton.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template
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.
Sampling at the South Emu and Triton deposits comprises surface
drilling, underground drilling, and historic underground face channel
sampling. The drilling database contains a total of 801 drill holes,
including percussion, reverse circulation (RC), and diamond drill holes.
Of these, 388 drill holes were assessed as suitable and used in the
Mineral Resource estimation (see Prospectus 16th February 2026). The
majority of drilling was completed prior to the early 2000s by various
parties, with additional drilling undertaken by Metals X Limited between
2014 and 2016, and 359 RC/diamond drill holes have been completed by
Westgold Limited since then to test down-dip continuity of mineralisation
at Triton North and South Emu.
Reverse Circulation (RC) sampling
RC drilling represents approximately 20% of the dataset. Historic RC
drilling was generally undertaken using 5¼–5½ inch face-sampling
hammers, with samples collected at 1 m intervals and submitted either
as individual samples or as 2–6 m composites. Anomalous composite
intervals were resampled at 1 m intervals. Sample splitting was
undertaken using PVC spears, scoops, or riffle splitters. Samples were
pulverised and analysed using aqua regia or fire assay methods.
Recent RC drilling (post-2013) utilised cyclone collection and multi-tier
riffle splitters to produce approximately 3 kg sub-samples. Four-metre
composites were generated from residual 1 m samples, with resampling
undertaken where anomalous grades were returned. Historical RC
sampling practices are assumed to be consistent with industry standards
applicable at the time.
Diamond drilling
Diamond drilling represents approximately
53% of the dataset and includes HQ, NQ2, and BQ core. Sampling
practices varied historically, with quarter-core, half-core, or whole-core
sampling undertaken depending on core diameter. Recent diamond
2
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
drilling was logged and sampled on geologically defined intervals, with
half-core NQ2 samples submitted for analysis. Core was cut along the
core axis, and samples were prepared and analysed using fire assay.
Percussion drilling
Percussion drilling comprises approximately 23% of the drill hole dataset
and was largely completed prior to the 1990s. Sampling was conducted
at 1 m intervals and composited over 3–5 m lengths. Where composite
samples returned anomalous grades, resampling was undertaken at 1 m
intervals. Due to the historic nature of the dataset, detailed sampling
metadata are limited, and it is assumed that sampling and analytical
procedures were undertaken in accordance with industry standards
applicable at the time.
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).
Drilling at South Emu and Triton includes percussion, , RC, and diamond
drilling. RC drilling utilised 5¼–5½ inch face-sampling hammers.
Diamond drilling utilised HQ, NQ2, and BQ core sizes, with core
orientation undertaken where possible during more recent programs.
Due to the historic nature of much of the drilling, complete drilling
metadata are not available for all programs, and it is assumed that
drilling practices were consistent with industry standards applicable at
the time of execution.
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.
• Limited information is available regarding sample recovery for historic
percussion, RC, and diamond drilling programs.
• While some historic programs recorded recovery and sample quality,
these data are not consistently available in digital format.
• It is not known whether systematic measures were undertaken to
maximise recovery during historic drilling.
• Recent drilling programs recorded recovery and sample quality;
however, no quantitative analysis of the relationship between
recovery and grade was reported, and no material bias is considered
evident based on available information
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.
• The logging is qualitative in nature and the majority of the mineralised
intervals have been logged. It was assumed the historic logging was
performed to industry standards at the time of logging.
3
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
• The historic diamond core was geologically logged and in a number
of instances logged for geotechnical characteristics. A small
proportion of diamond core photography is retained and cut core still
remains.
• The historic RC drilling was geologically logged to industry standards
at the time of logging.
• The recent RC and diamond drill holes are all orientated and have
been logged in detail for geology, veining, alteration, mineralisation
and orientated structure. Core has been logged in enough detail to
allow for the relevant mineral resource estimation techniques to be
employed. Diamond core is photographed both wet and dry and the
photographs are stored on Westgold and Valiant Gold (VAL) servers.
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.
• Historic RC and percussion sampling practices varied by program
and included spear, scoop, or riffle splitting.
• Recent RC samples were split using riffle splitters to produce
approximately 3 kg samples, which were pulverised prior to analysis.
• Diamond core was cut along the adjacent to the core axis, with half-
core samples typically submitted for analysis, except where BQ core
was whole-sampled.
• QA/QC procedures varied significantly throughout the project history,
and only limited historic QA/QC records are available in digital format.
• Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the grain size of the
mineralisation.
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.
• 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.
• All samples were analysed by either fire assay or aqua regia based a
subsample charge ranging from 25g to 50g. Aqua regia samples
above 2ppm were re-analysed by fire assay (Metana).
• The assay techniques are considered appropriate for the style of
mineralization sampled.
• No geophysical tools etc. have been used for the interpolation
process.
• Standards and blanks were used by the laboratory for all post-1991
sampling, and duplicates were routinely analysed. No evidence of
4
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
analytical bias exists for recent drilling (post-2012) where acceptable
standards of QC were adopted and no bias is evident between these
sampling programs and those of earlier generations of drilling.
• Due to the historic nature of the dataset the QAQC procedures vary
greatly throughout the projects history and range from the inclusion
of pulp repeats (1 in 10 samples; Metana), coarse reject repeats for
values >20 g/t (Metana), field duplicates (1 in 50 samples; Gold
Mines of Australia) and the inclusion of standard reference material at
various rates. However, only a limited number of QAQC results and
associated metadata is stored in a digital format which has limited the
QAQC analysis.
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.
• Due to the historic nature of the dataset, it is not known whether
independent or alternative persons verified significant intersections.
• A re-logging and re-sampling program completed in 2016 included 22
historic diamond drill holes, and the re-sampling confirmed the tenor
of the historic information.
• No twin holes have been drilled to verify results.
• Post-2012 drilling intersected mineralised lodes at similar thicknesses
and tenors to those predicted by historic drilling.
• All drilling data are stored in a SQL database with in-built validation
checks. A large proportion of supporting information is retained as
hardcopy records in the Westgold Bluebird data library. Due to the
historic nature of the dataset, a significant proportion of metadata is
not available in digital format.
• Assay data were historically entered as averaged values; where
original assay data have been recovered and verified, the original
values are now retained without
• modification.
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.
• All recent (post-2012) drilling has been set out and picked up using
an RTK GPS. Downhole survey measurements for recent diamond
surface holes used a Gyro with measurements recorded every 10m.
• Limited information is available regarding the surveying of the pre-
1991 drill holes. Post-1991 the drill hole collar locations have been
5
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
pickup by mine surveyors. Recent surveying of the project area has
resulted in the picking up of historic collars on an ad hoc bases.
Limited information regarding the down-the-hole surveying of the
pre-1991 holes are available, but the post-1991 drilling has been
primarily surveyed using Eastman single shots.
• All drill holes and mine workings were surveyed on a local mine grid
and subsequently transformed to MGA94 zone 50 co-ordinate
system. The local grid to MGA94 transformation have been validated
by MLX surveys in 2015.
• A local grid (Reedy 2014) is established at South Emu-Triton trend.
•
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.
• Drill hole spacing is a nominal 40m x 40m that has been in-filled to a
nominal 20m x 20m in the main zone of mineralisation at South Emu
and Triton mineralised areas focusing on defining optimal coverage
within 125m from the surface. At deeper levels within the deposit at
Triton, below the MRE, drillhole spacing broadens to approximately
80m x 80m.
• Composited samples were taken throughout the project history, but
anomalous composites were resampled on 1m intervals.
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.
• Drilling intersections are nominally designed to be normal to the
orebody as far as topography and historic production area allows. In
general, the nominal drill direction is toward local grid east with a dip
ranging from 40° to 60°.
• The drilling orientation is suitable for the South Emu and Triton
mineralization and it is unlikely to introduce any material sampling
bias.
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Limited information is available about the historic sample security
measures undertaken. It is assumed historical samples were
