▪ Initial IP survey completed across three lines at Silver Valley, providing new information on the
geometry of the mineralised system.
▪ The work follows previously reported high-grade silver, lead and copper rock chip results from
Silver Valley, including assays of up to 378g/t Ag, 44.9% Pb and 5.04% Cu.1
▪ New rock chip samples collected from historical workings at Silver Valley have generated
results of 470g/t Ag, 19.2% Cu and 23.2% Pb (sample SV2_06) and 342g/t Ag, 16.1% Cu and
36.8% Pb (sample SV2_08).
▪ Elevated chargeability occurs immediately west of the known Silver Valley workings, with
additional elevated responses towards the western ends of the southern survey lines. Deeper
low-resistivity zones identified on the southern lines may be mapping geological structure and
will be assessed as part of the revised interpretation.
▪ Further IP lines are required to better test the emerging western structural corridor. Following
completion of current MT and gravity surveys at Harts Range, Litchfield is actively redeploying
field resources to Silver Valley to support completion of the revised IP program.
▪ Final assay results from Oonagalabi drilling campaign in hole OGDD003 yielded a best intercept
of 5.3m at 0.64% Cu, 0.67% Zn and 2.2g/t Ag from 49.5m depth.
OVERVIEW
Litchfield Minerals Limited (ASX: LMS) (“Litchfield” or “the Company”) provides an update on the initial
Induced Polarisation (IP) survey completed at its Silver Valley Project in the Northern Territory.
Three planned survey lines, totalling 5.1-line kilometres were completed in July 2026. This work has
materially improved the Company’s understanding of the Silver Valley mineralised system and,
importantly, is beginning to highlight a stronger geophysical response towards the western side of the
survey area that warrants redeployment of fieldwork to focus on completing a revised IP program.

Valley Delivers High-Grade Silver-Lead-Copper Results
Litchfield Minerals Limited · www.litchfieldminerals.com.au Page 2 of 27
Five new rock chip samples collected from dumps next to historical shafts and workings have generated
assays of up to 470g/t Ag, 19.2% Cu and 23.2% Pb (sample SV2_06), and 342g/t Ag, 16.1% Cu and 36.8%
Pb (sample SV2_08; (Appendix 1)). The work follows previously reported high-grade silver, lead and
copper rock chip results from elsewhere at Silver Valley, including assays of up to 378g/t Ag, 44.9% Pb
and 5.04% Cu.1
The IP program was designed to better understand the continuation of this mineralisation beneath
surface and assist with refining future drill targeting. The northern survey line identified a chargeability
response immediately west of the known Silver Valley workings, with modelling suggesting potential
depth extent towards the west. Elevated chargeability is also present towards the western ends of the
two southern survey lines, while deeper low-resistivity features may represent geological structure.
These emerging western responses are an important re-focussing of our follow-up work. When
integrated with concurrent field mapping, the results suggest the IP survey design may not have fully
tested the most prospective structural zones. The Company is prioritising follow-up work to better
understand the relationship between the chargeability responses, deeper structural features and the
known high-grade silver mineralisation before any further IP surveys are completed.
LitchfieldManagingDirector,MatthewPustahyasaid:
“The value of these first three IP lines is that they have challenged our original interpretation and given us a
better basis for the next phase of work. Rather than continue spending money against a survey design that
may no longer be optimally positioned, we made the decision to stop, integrate the data and investigate the
western side of the system before completing the program.
The western chargeability responses and deeper resistivity features may be pointing us towards an
important structural control that was not adequately covered by the original survey footprint. Our
geological team will now test that interpretation in the field and use those observations to optimise the
remaining IP lines.
This is the exploration discipline and agility that continue to apply across Litchfield: let the data challenge
the model, change the plan when the evidence changes, and make sure each additional dollar is spent
testing the best geological interpretation available.”

IP Survey Details
The northern IP line contained a chargeability response immediately west of the known Silver Valley
workings, with modelling suggesting possible continuation at depth towards the west. The two southern
lines also show a more elevated chargeability towards their western ends. In the context of Silver Valley,
the relatively modest IP responses from this initial survey are consistent with the style of mineralisation
observed at surface. Galena, which hosts much of the lead and associated silver mineralisation, is
conductive but typically produces a weaker chargeability response than other sulphides such as pyrite,
meaning significant silver–lead mineralisation can be present without generating a strong IP anomaly
(Figure 1).
Figure 1: Three-dimensional perspective view (looking north) of the 2D inverted chargeability sections for lines 21100N, 20700N
and 20500N. Elevated chargeability is concentrated towards the western ends of all three lines, immediately west of the Silver
Valley 2 workings. Red dots are known mineral occurrences and pink dots are mapped old workings.
The resistivity modelling provides an additional structural observation. While the basement is generally
resistive, deeper low-resistivity zones are present on the two southern survey lines and may represent
geological structure (Figure 2). The Company will now interpret the spatial relationship between these
features,thewesternchargeability responsesandknown mineralisation with targetedfieldinvestigation
before any further IP surveys are completed.

Figure 2: Three-dimensional perspective view (looking north) of the 2D inverted resistivity sections. Deeper low-resistivity
zones on the southern lines 20700N and 20500N sit beneath and to the west of the elevated chargeability and may be mapping
the interpreted western structural corridor. Red dots are known mineral occurrences and pink dots are mapped old workings.
New Rock Chip Resultsfrom Silver Valley
Field reconnaissance at Silver Valley in May 2026 included the collection of 5 new rock chip samples from
dumps next to historical shafts and workings (Figure 3) have generated assays of up to 470g/t Ag, 19.2%
Cu and 23.2% Pb (sample SV2_06), and 342g/t Ag, 16.1% Cu and 36.8% Pb (sample SV2_08; (Appendix 1)).
These results complement previously reported high-grade silver, lead and copper rock chip results from
elsewhere at Silver Valley, including assays of up to 378g/t Ag, 44.9% Pb and 5.04% Cu.1
OGDD003 Drilling Results Oonagalabi
Final assay results from the Oonagalabi prospect Q3 drilling campaign were returned in late June 2026.
The best intercept from hole OGDD003 was 5.3m at 0.64% Cu, 0.67% Zn and 2.2g/t Ag from 49.5m depth
(Appendix 2). Previous drilling descriptions and maps reported in previous announcement.2

Figure 3: New rock chip sample locations from June 2026 are shown alongside historical rock chip samples collected in January
2026. The NTGS Silver Valley 2 location is also highlighted, as our field mapping, sampling and subsequent investigations
indicate that the recorded location may be incorrect.
Next Steps
At Silver Valley, Litchfield will complete targeted field mapping and structural investigation west of the
existing IP footprint and integrate these observations with completed chargeability and resistivity
models. This work will aid the position and orientation of any follow-up IP lines.
The Company is currently undertaking MT and gravity programs around our Oonagalabi tenement in the
HartsRange. Once theseprograms are completed, Litchfield has the flexibility toredeploy its field teams
to Silver Valley to support completion of the revised IP program whilst avoiding unnecessary standby and
mobilisation costs.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
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.
• This Announcement includes
results of a ground Induced
Polarisation (IP) survey and rock
chip sampling from the Silver
Valley project, and final assay
results from diamond drill core at
the Oonagalabi project.
• The Ground geophysical Induced
Polarisation (IP) survey was
acquired by Australian
Geophysical Services (AGS) on
behalf of Litchfield Minerals
between 8 and 17 July 2026,
using a pole-dipole IP (PDIP)
array. Equipment comprised a
GDD TxIV 5 kVA transmitter and
either a SmarTem 24 or a GDD 16-
channel IP receiver.
• Receiving electrodes were non-
polarisable stainless steel plates
and transmitter electrodes were
buried aluminium plates. A
transmit frequency of 0.125 Hz
was used (2 seconds on-time, 2
seconds off-time).
• Readings were acquired using 16
x 50 m receiver dipoles along
each line, giving a nominal 50 m
station interval. Each reading
represents the bulk chargeability
and resistivity response of a
volume of rock rather than a
discrete physical sample.
• Functionality issues were
experienced with the first
SmarTem receiver deployed. The
GDD receiver was substituted
while a replacement SmarTem
receiver was transported to site.
Both are industry-standard
instruments and data acquired
with both receivers were
processed and quality controlled
identically.
• Instrument calibration was
undertaken by the acquisition
Litchfield Minerals Limited · www.litchfieldminerals.com.au Page 11 of 27
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
contractor in accordance with its
own standard operating
procedures. Calibration
certificates have not been
independently verified by
Litchfield.
• IP is an indirect geophysical
measurement. Elevated
chargeability may be caused by
disseminated sulphides but can
equally result from graphite,
clays, magnetite, weathering
effects or near-surface cultural
features. A geophysical
response is not a measure of
mineralisation and cannot be
used to infer grade, width or
tonnage.
• Surface Geochemical Sampling:
Random rock chip samples were
collected from areas of visible
base metal mineralisation
(oxidized and fresh sulfides).
Rock chips were collected to
provide a representative
geochemical sample by
collecting lots of small rock
fragments from the target site.
An approximate 1kg sample was
submitted to Bureau Veritas
Adelaide for analysis.
• Diamond drill samples were cut
as ½ core using a diamond saw.
½ core was then sampled at
specific intervals to account for
mineralisation and lithology
(0.24m to 1.2m intervals, most at
1m). Drilling intervals selected
for sampling were decided on a
subjective basis by the person(s)
responsible for supervision of
the drilling campaign. Given the
nature of the minerals being
sampled, core sampling is
considered by the Competent
Person to be an appropriate
method of sampling.
• All ½ diamond core in the interval
40-65m in OGDD003 were
sampled. Samples were
Litchfield Minerals Limited · www.litchfieldminerals.com.au Page 12 of 27
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
submitted to the Bureau Veritas
Adelaide laboratory for analysis.
All samples were pulverised.
QAQC standards (blank, reference
and lab duplicates) were included
routinely. Litchfield standards
were inserted along with
laboratory standards. All
samples were analysed by
conventional multi-element and
fire assay analysis (see Quality of
Assay Data section below for
further details).
• Reported intercepts were
calculated using a cut-off for Cu
and Zn of 0.1%. There was no
cut-off for Ag within these Cu
and Zn cut-off zones. Diamond
core internal dilution was 0.92m
for both Cu and Zn.
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).
• Diamond drill hole OGDD003 was
completed by DDH1 Drilling using
a Sandvik DE840 Multipurpose
rig. Drill core was either HQ or NQ
size.
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.
• Samples were collected and
logged at metre intervals (in
some cases less for diamond drill
core).
• No relationship has been
determined between sample
recoveries and grade and there is
insufficient data to determine if
there is a sample bias.
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.
• IP survey lines were positioned
with reference to previous
geological mapping, mapped
historical workings and recorded
mineral occurrences.
• Geological mapping and field
observations were undertaken
concurrently with the survey.
Litchfield Minerals Limited · www.litchfieldminerals.com.au Page 13 of 27
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or

photography.
• The total length and percentage
of the relevant intersections
logged.
That mapping is ongoing, is
qualitative in nature, and its
results are not reported as
Exploration Results in this
announcement.
• Rock Chip Sampling involved
collecting geological notes
recorded at each sampling site to
record geology and/or soil
horizon, colour, moisture,
source, in situ vs trans etc.
• Geological logging of diamond
drill holes was done on a visual
basis with logging including
lithology, alteration,
mineralisation, structure,
weathering, oxidation, magnetic
susceptibility etc.
• All drillholes were geologically
logged in their entirety.
• A portable XRF instrument
(Niton) was used to qualitatively
facilitate identification of
mineralised intervals where
visual mineralisation was difficult
to identify.
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 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.
• The sample size for diamond
core samples is considered
appropriate for the
mineralisation style, application
and analytical techniques used.
• Individual diamond ½ core
sampling varied in intervals, with
1m intervals typical, but the
minimum interval being 0.24m.
• For rock chips, an approximate 1
kg sample was submitted to the
laboratory for analysis.

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.
• In respect of the geophysical
instrumentation: a GDD TxIV 5
kVA transmitter was used with
either a SmarTem 24 or GDD 16-
channel IP receiver; a pole-dipole
array with 16 x 50 m receiver
dipoles; and a transmit frequency
of 0.125 Hz (2 s on-time, 2 s off-
time). Raw IP data supplied by
AGS was imported into TQIPdb, a
specialist IP data quality control
and processing package.
Individual chargeability decays at
each station were inspected, and
any noisy decays, bad repeat
readings, or readings with very
low primary received voltage
were flagged in the database.
Flagged readings were excluded
from all subsequent stages of
processing.
• Final chargeability was
calculated using a standard
integration window of 590 ms to
1540 ms.
• Data quality was assessed by
Mitre Geophysics as generally
good, with clean and repeatable
decays. Because the
measurement is geophysical
rather than analytical, accuracy
and precision in the assay sense
(standards, blanks, duplicates,
umpire laboratory checks) are
not applicable. Repeat readings
were acquired in the field and
used as the basis for the decay
repeatability assessment.
• Rock chip and diamond core
samples submitted to the lab
contained sufficient repeat and
duplicate samples as per QAQC
industry standards. Several
OREAS internal lab standards
was analysed and produced
acceptable results. One
Litchfield standard was
submitted to the laboratory.
Rock chips were analysed using
Bureau Veritas methods MA101 /

AAS finish. The assay methods
used are considered appropriate.
• QAQC standards, blanks and
duplicates were routinely
included. Further internal
laboratory QAQC procedures
included internal batch standards
and blanks. Internal Litchfield

laboratory standards also used.
The samples submitted to the lab
contained sufficient repeat and

• 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 is stored electronically
within Litchfield’s data
management system, with the
contractor retaining copies of
the raw field data.
• No adjustments have been made
to the geophysical data or
resulting models other than the
quality control exclusions and
inversion parameterisation
described in this table.
• Assay data from rock chip and
diamond drill samples have been
assessed and reviewed by
Company geologists with QAQC
completed on this data.
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.
• The IP survey was completed on
a local grid. The local grid origin
(10000E, 20000N) corresponds to
487141.3E / 7677012.6N in
GDA2020 / MGA Zone 53. Line
bearings are 110.0° / 290.0°.
• Survey coverage (local grid
coordinates): line 20500N,
10100E to 11900E, 1800 m; line
20700N, 10300E to 11900E, 1600
m; line 21100N, 10200E to 11900E,
1700 m.
• Electrode positions were located
by the acquisition contractor
using handheld GPS along the
pre-defined local grid lines.
• Elevations were not surveyed in
the field. Elevation values for
each electrode were extracted
from SRTM digital elevation data
and integrated into the TQIPdb
database for use in the inversion
modelling. SRTM vertic
