THE KADA GOLD PROJECTDistrict-scale gold project with flagship Resource
Kada Project: Contiguous 101 km² land package (Kada & Bamfele permits) located along the N-S-trending Siguiri Mineralisation Trend.
Massan Deposit (Flagship): Most advanced asset with a 2023 maiden MRE of 224 koz Indicated and 682 koz Inferred1; mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, with demonstrated down-dip continuity.
Bereko Deposit: Under-drilled, currently 18 koz Inferred1. Mineralisation open along strike and interpreted to extend north into adjacent northern Banan Permit.
Arafura Acquisition (November 2025): Proposed addition of the Damissa Koura permit (~98 km²), 7 km east of the Massan Deposit within the same highly prospective geological setting. The acquisition is ongoing and not yet completed.
ASX: AS1 ASARARESOURCES.COM 8
Banan, Talico and Syli Resources Permits under application: Potential further expansion along the Siguiri Trend into Greenfields territories - no drilling to date. Extensive historical and active in-situ artisanal mining hosts demonstrated mineralisation along the same N-S geological trend.

Highlights
MRE was constrained using a US$1,800/oz gold price
The pit shell is shallow due to limited drilling at depth, with an average pit depth of ~140 m
The MRE incorporated ~48 km of RC and DD
As of March 2026, an additional ~25 km has been completed, with ~60 km targeted ahead of the next MRE update in Q3 of 2026

MASSAN DEPOSIT: THE UPSIDE
Mineralised Domains highlight significant Resource upside through continued drilling
Highlights
Massan 2023 MRE Mineralised Domains
Proven strike continuity of mineralisation >3,500 m
Mineralisation demonstrated to depths exceeding 600 m
Significant potential to discover additional high-grade 'core' zones along strike through further drilling
The extent of the 2023 MRE is therefore constrained primarily by the current drilling density required to support higher confidence resource categories, rather than by a lack of geological continuity

1. A downhole significant intercept represents the total mineralised interval at a given grade, calculated from economically composited intervals using a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off, a minimum composite length of 2 m, and allowing up to 3 m of internal waste dilution.
A DEPOSIT FAVOURABLE FOR MINING
Stockwork mineralisation, low-strip ratio, free-digging and excellent recoveries
Mineralisation is controlled by the intersection of two major cross-cutting regional structures, forming distinct high-grade lodes within a broader stockwork mineralised system
Broad, continuous mineralised zones (>0.2 g/t Au) support the potential for a low strip ratio in open pit mining
A deeply developed weathering profile (~120 m average) underpins significant volumes of free-digging oxide material
Fresh rock medium hardness (BWI)
Cross-regolith bulk composite metallurgical testwork (ALS Perth) demonstrates strong recoveries, with oxide and fresh material achieving >95% and ~88% respectively

MASSAN'S CLEAR PATHWAY TO RESOURCE GROWTH
Two concurrent, aggressive drill campaigns
Massan remains significantly under-drilled, with mineralisation open along strike and at depth.Historical drilling defined ~3.5 km of mineralised strike, with both ends still open.
Depth continuity confirmed by Newmont and validated by Asara drilling below the 2023 US$1,800 pit shell.
To unlock this upside, Asara is executing two focused, concurrent drill programs:
1
Phase 1 - Indicated Growth Plan: Convert Inferred to Indicated resources over ~1.3 km of strike, while extending depth coverage to a minimum of ~250 m, compared to the
~150 m average pit floor depth in the 2023 pit shell.
ASX: AS1 ASARARESOURCES.COM 14

ASX: AS1
ASARARESOURCES.COM
1. Mineral Resource details provided in Appendix 1
2
Phase 2 - Inferred Growth Plan: Expand the Inferred resource strike length to ~3.5 km, from the current ~1.3 km, testing the broader mineralised corridor.
MASSAN INDICATED DRILL PLAN
Drilling to rapidly grow the Indicated Resource
N-S Strike & Depth Extension Drilling: Approximately 315 RC/DD drill holes targeting a minimum depth of 250m, for a total planned program of ~80,000m.
The program is designed to expand the Indicated Resource footprint from approximately 300m × 4000m x 140m to
>1,300m × 600m x 250m along the N-S trend.
The 2023 pit shell included areas with maximum depths of approximately 140 m; Phase 1 drilling has confirmed the continuation of mineralisation to depths exceeding 250 m.
Depth extension mineralisation remains consistent with the established, deposit-wide style, characterised by broad, continuous zones of gold mineralisation.
Significant portion of drilling ends in mineralisation
Ongoing drilling focuses on further delineating mineralisation at Massan to a depth of at least 250 m
Potential to deepen the pit shell across the deposit to at least 250 m under a higher gold price scenario
ASX: AS1 ASARARESOURCES.COM 15
15 ASX: AS1 ASARARESOURCES.COM
DRILLING SUPPORTS A DEEPER PIT SHELL AT MASSAN
Phase 1 drilling confirms continuous mineralisation beyond the 2023 US$1,800 pit shell
16
ASX: AS1 ASARARESOURCES.COM
INFERRED GROWTH PLANSystematic drilling to expand strike and depth
Planned Strike Extension Drilling: Approximately 160 RC/AC drill holes targeting a minimum depth of 120m to 150m, for a total planned program of ~20,000m.The Inferred programme will test two key extensions:
The broadly mineralised north-south trending T1 structural corridor, which extends over >3.5 km
Additional high-grade, cross-cutting NE-SW T2 structures, and their continuity along the NE-SW trend beyond the main N-S mineralised corridor
The scale of the Inferred drilling programme highlights the significant upside potential at the Massan deposit and the limited drilling across the broader mineralised corridor and cross-cutting NE-SW structures.
Asara is actively advancing drilling to unlock this potential

MASSAN DEPOSIT AND KADA PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
High-quality gold asset with scale, growth, and development potential
FLAGSHIP MASSAN DEPOSIT WITH MATERIAL GROWTH UPSIDE
Drilling to date has validated the targeting and underscored the scale of the prospectivity of the Massan Deposit. Demonstrated strike and depth continuity provides clear potential to expand the Inferred Resource and upgrade substantial material to Indicated
STRONG METALLURGICAL PERFORMANCE
EXCELLENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOCATION
Massan metallurgical testwork confirms free-milling mineralisation with high gold recoveries, averaging 95 to 97% in oxide and ~88% in transition and fresh material
SCALABLE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
Potential to establish Massan as a large starter deposit, with scope to progressively add multiple satellite deposits feeding a centralised processing hub
FAVOURABLE MINING CHARACTERISTICS
Massan's thick saprolite profile, averaging ~120m, supports free-digging potential to depth, complemented by a low strip ratio (<3.5:1 W:O)
Proximity to the established mining centres of Siguiri, Kankan and Kouroussa providing access to infrastructure, skilled labour, contractors, and services, reducing development risk
