Our drill rig stays at Mt Chalmers, and 20,000 metres of drilling continues. $QML We have sold QDrilling, our drilling subsidiary, and the rig stays on site under its new owner. We keep access to drilling without owning and maintaining the equipment. That frees the team to focus on the DFS, project approvals, and a drilling campaign targeting resource extensions, with additional deposits potentially joining the mine plan. • 129 holes in the expanded drilling program Link below. #DFS

A copper-gold cap at Mt Chalmers could be sitting over a much larger system. That's how our Exploration Manager, Tom Bartschi, reads it in Stockhead's new special report: a high-grade sulphide cap over a wider mineralised zone beneath. $QML Link below. #DrillResults

Our Executive Chairman Andrew Sparke stands alongside eleven other ASX names in Sydney next Wednesday. $QML Copper and gold share the stage with biopharma, additive manufacturing and energy, at the JMM x MCA Sydney Investor Lunch, back for 2026. New format this year. Presentations go out ahead of time, then live Q&A follows on stage. • Wednesday 28 October, 12:00pm AEDT • Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney • 12 ASX presenters Link below. #CopperMining

Beneath the flooded Mt Chalmers pit: 14 pontoon holes drilled, more than 1.2 kilometres of core. $QML Our Exploration Manager Tom Bartschi says the result is particularly encouraging: high-grade semi-massive sulphide sitting above a substantial copper-bearing stringer zone, consistent with the Mt Chalmers VHMS system. That data is going straight into our next Mineral Resource update, turning ground the grade model has leaned on historic drilling for into core we have verified ourselves. • 26.2m at 1.3% Cu and 0.7g/t Au from 36.4m • High-grade copper-gold confirmed 64m east, copper-zinc still open below a third hole • 39 holes in the lab, three rigs continuing Link below. #DrillResults

Two deposits. Possibly one connected system. Our exploration manager's read on the new copper sulphides north of Mt Chalmers: geological similarities that raise the chance Mt Chalmers and Botos are part of the same system. $QML #JuniorMining

This is the second time this ground has ever been drilled... And we just discovered copper sulphides 180 metres beyond our resource boundary. $QML That ground sits outside the Mt Chalmers Resource and the 2024 PFS pit; land from recent acquisitions just opened up for testing. Here's the exciting part: the same copper system feeding our known lodes may keep running north, potentially linking all the way to Botos. That could mean a much bigger system than the Resource shows today. • 11m of visually logged chalcopyrite-pyrite, 192m to 203m downhole • Grades and continuity still unconfirmed • Assays expected late October #DrillResults

The first two holes drilled beneath Mt Chalmers' pit floor just outgraded the resource model by up to three times. $QML That ground has sat sealed under the pit lake since mining stopped. A pontoon rig just put fresh core through it for the first time, and both holes came in close to 20% above the block model across their full length. The richest zone beat it further still. • 43.7m at 1.31% CuEq from 23.3m (vs 1.10% CuEq modelled) • Including 2.7m at 7.5% CuEq (1.29% Cu, 4.44g/t Au, 109g/t Ag, 5.25% Zn, 3.04% Pb) • 24.3m at 0.99% CuEq from 42.7m (vs 0.84% CuEq modelled) #DrillResults
