W1 was successful in testing the eastern contact of the Reedy Shear, also returning a broad zone of
gold mineralisation (Figure 1, Figure 3). These results support high-grade gold intersections2
from
historic drilling outside of the current MRE (Figure 1), including:
• 9.0m @ 5.61g/t Au from 634.0m (14RERD001); incl. 3.0m @ 13.72g/t Au;
• 3.4m @ 85.56g/t Au from 726.4m (17RERD002); incl. 1.0m @ 176.80g/t Au;
• 9.0m @ 5.39g/t Au from 688.0m (17RERD001A); incl. 3.0m @ 9.96g/t Au; and
• 10.9m @ 3.85g/t Au from 655.0m (17RERD002); incl. 1.0m @ 23.96g/t Au.
Valiant Managing Director and CEO Brendan Tritton said:
"As we disclosed during the IPO, our first exploration focus was to confirm that mineralisation at South
Emu – Triton extended below the known orebody, and today's results have delivered. We will now
transition to infill drilling of the known orebody to support future upgrades of Inferred material to
Indicated so that we can progress towards expanded mine planning and restart studies for future
production at South Emu -Triton"

These results provide compelling proof of concept from the recent initial public officer (IPO) on the
potential to extend the ore body below the current MRE. Demonstrating that:
(1) extensive gold mineralisation extends more than 400m below the currently defined MRE (Figure
1, Figure 3);
(2) the system remains strongly endowed, as highlighted by W5, which delivered a +100 gram-metre
intersection; and
(3) the mineralised system at depth is substantial in scale, now exceeding 100m in horizontal width
and remaining open down-dip and along strike.
Drilling in the near-term at Triton will transition to shallower positions within the deposit, prioritising
resource conversion of Inferred ounces to the Indicated category within the Mineral Resource inventory,
supporting future mine planning. Drilling is ongoing at Triton, with further assay results expected in the
coming months.

(A) depth 1010.4m returning 28.30g/t Au, (B) depth 1008.5m returning 3.04g/t Au.
High-grade gold mineralisation at Triton in W5 is characterised by a biotite-silica-carbonate-pyrite-
pyrrhotite flooded shear zone (Figure 2) hosted in mafic volcanic rocks adjacent to a discrete ultramafic
shear, which is consistent with the previously mined material at Triton.

Figure 3: Triton Mine Schematic Cross Section A-A’(40200N local grid) displaying previous and current drillholes with
associated wedges, significant intercepts and the targeted Reedy Shear Zone.
To date, ~2,000m of drilling has been completed of the 5,000m program. Importantly, only W5 has
effectively tested the target, with the remaining holes not reaching their intended targets.
Drilling has been impeded by the depth and change in structures, impacting both the production rates
and the ability to complete holes. Methodology for hole stabilisation has now been optimised for these
conditions, with 26REDD001_W5 successfully advancing through the different zones, testing the full
extent of the 100m-wide zone.
The Company intends to follow up this drilling program at depth at a later date from a more proximate
underground position.

APPENDIX C: JORC Tables
Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., 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 (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1m samples from
which 3kg was pulverised to produce a
30g 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 (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Only diamond core sample results are released in
this announcement.
• The reported results include NQ2 core samples by
majority, followed by lesser amounts of HQ and PQ
within the shallower portions of the parent hole.
• Diamond samples were collected from selected
intervals ranging from 0.3m to 1.5m.
• The parent hole is drilled PQ and HQ2 down to
450m with the remainder of the drillhole and wedge
holes drilled NQ2.
• Core was sampled on geologically defined intervals,
composed of half-core.
• Sampling the same half side of the core is
conducted, where reliable orientation
lines are available.
• All samples were pulverised to a nominal 80%
passing 75 microns to produce a 40g charge for fire
assay.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(e.g. 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 is being completed
to industry standard by DDH1 Drilling Pty Ltd,
operating a truck mounted diamond drilling rig.
• Diamond drilling produced PQ, HQ and NQ core,
NQ standard tube in the parent hole.
• All subsequent wedges were drilled with NQ2 core.

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.
• The Valiant Gold diamond drill program has
recorded recovery and sample quality of core;
however, no quantitative analysis of the relationship
between recovery and grade was reported and no
material bias is considered evident based on
available information

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

• The reliability and completeness of historic datasets
vary, legacy data limitations are acknowledged by
Valiant and throughout the external MRE estimation
process.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
• The South Emu and Triton deposits are examples of
Archaean shear-hosted gold mineralisation, located
within the Meekatharra greenstone belt of the
Youanmi Terrane, Yilgarn Craton. Mineralisation is
associated with steeply dipping, north–northeast
trending shear zones developed within mafic to
ultramafic volcanic sequences, with interflow
sediments and intrusive units including dolerite and
felsic porphyry.
• Gold mineralisation is concentrated along sheared
contacts between ultramafic volcanics in the hanging
wall and mafic volcanics and quartz dolerite in the
footwall. Alteration assemblages include chlorite-
carbonate ± biotite schist, talc-carbonate schist in
ultramafics, and localised silica-pyrite altered
mylonite’s.
• At South Emu, mineralisation is characterised by
multiple stacked lodes associated with folding and
shear reactivation. At Triton, mineralisation comprises
a primary lode with subsidiary hanging wall and
