Full Summary

Horizon Minerals Limited (ASX: HRZ) is pleased to provide an update on the drilling program under way at its 100% owned high-grade Burbanks gold project, located 9km south of Coolgardie in the Western Australian Goldfields. Underground mining at Burbanks historically produced 324koz @ 22.7g/t Au, in addition to the existing JORC (2012) Mineral Resource of 6.1Mt grading 2.4g/t Au for 466koz. Horizon commenced a 30,000m drilling program in late June 2025, with the initial 15,000m targeting mostly infill to upgrade the existing resource. Eighteen of the planned 45 Phase 1 holes have been drilled with assays returned for 15 holes, with highlights including 1.55m @ 99.65g/t Au from 336.3m, 5.3m @ 3.49g/t Au from 235.7m, 1.7m @ 37.18g/t Au from 71.0m, and 3.7m @ 5.13g/t Au from 222.4m. The infill drilling at Burbanks North has confirmed the position and grade of existing mineralisation lodes, extended known high-grade mineralisation trends to the west and infilled along the margins of the Mineral Resource Estimate. Hole 25HBBD008 successfully targeted the downdip extension of the high-grade gold mineralisation beneath the Main Lode at Burbanks, extending the known trend 70m beneath the historical workings. A second diamond drilling rig has been mobilised to Burbanks to accelerate the Phase 1 drilling program, which is scheduled for completion in December 2025. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in the June 2026 quarter, followed by Ore Reserve studies.

Outlook

The 15,000m Phase 2 extensional drilling program aimed at growing the resource base at Burbanks is planned to commence early in 2026.
