• Barbara Copper-Gold Project hosts 6.5Mt @ 0.97% CuEq within the broader 18.8Mt @ 1.07% CuEq Queensland Copper-Gold Project
• Initial ~1,500m diamond drilling program planned to target extensions of copper-gold mineralisation and growth of the Mineral Resource Estimate
• Drilling to test down-plunge extensions below previously reported high-grade intersections and other priority targets

Breakthrough Minerals is pleased to provide an update on the planned drill program at the Barbara Copper-Gold Project (BCGP), located within the wider Queensland Copper-Gold Project (QCGP) near Mt Isa in Queensland, Australia. The QCGP comprises a total of approximately 952km2 of granted tenure including over 21km2 of granted Mining Leases. The QCGP Global Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) reported in accordance with JORC (2012) comprises 18.8Mt @ 1.07% CuEq for 200kt of contained CuEq metal. The BCGP area is host to approximately one third of the project's global mineral resource estimate of copper-gold, and the Company sees strong potential for resource growth through extensional and advanced exploration drilling programs in 2026. The initial ~1,500m diamond drilling program at Barbara will target extensions of copper-gold mineralisation and growth of the Mineral Resource Estimate. Targets include down-plunge extensions below previously reported high-grade intersections, as well as priority targets such as the untested BARC071 intersection 100m north of the Barbara North Pit. The broader ~4,500m drill program will also test the Lilly May Prospect and untested Fixed Loop Electromagnetic plates. Drilling is expected to commence at the Hazel Creek Project in late March, with Barbara drilling to follow shortly thereafter.

The Company's immediate focus is systematically expanding the existing resource base at the Barbara Copper-Gold Project through targeted drilling and testing additional mineralised positions along the fertile structural corridor.
