2026 CORPORATE RELEASE
Commonwealth–Silica Hill JV Update
Kuniko completes Phase 1 diamond drilling
All six drill holes intersected mineralisation
New offset sulphide zone identified at Silica Hill
Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to advise that the diamond drill programme at the
Company’s Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project in New South Wales has been completed with all six
drill holes intersecting mineralisation. The programme was funded by Kuniko Limited (ASX:KNI) under
the Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement where Kuniko can earn up to a 70% interest in the project
(ASX:KNI Release March 26th 2026, which is attached).
Highlights:
▪ New Discovery at Silica Hill: Significant sulphide mineralisation intersected in hole CMKNI004,
comprising a broad 70m visual zone of disseminated and stringer sulphides, including a 0.5m
massive sulphide vein. The intersection lies approximately 100m outside the previously
modelled mineralisation wireframe and defines a new mineralised zone that remains open
up-dip, down-dip and along strike (Figure 1).
▪ Additional Mineralisation at Commonwealth South: Holes CMKNI005 and CMKNI006
intersected variable widths of disseminated and stringer sulphide mineralisation, both
outside existing identified mineralisation.
▪ Phase I Program Completed: A total of six diamond holes completed for 1239m, marking
completion of the Phase 1 drilling program.
▪ Assays Pending: First assay results are expected in early April.
▪ Phase II Program: Kuniko are now positioned to advance into a larger Phase II drilling
program, targeting resource expansion and follow up of newly identified mineralised zones.
Impact’s Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said, “Kuniko’s completion of the Phase 1 diamond
drilling program is an important milestone for the Commonwealth–Silica Hill Project. The
identification of a substantial new offset sulphide zone at Silica Hill, located outside the previously
modelled mineralisation, together with further sulphide intersections at Commonwealth South,
highlights the potential for the system to significantly extend beyond current interpretations. With
assays expected in early April and Phase II planning underway, we look forward to ongoing results
and updates as Kuniko advances the project”.

Figure 1. Oblique view looking south west showing the current Silica Hill Mineralisation Block Model
and drillhole CMKNI004. A new zone of mineralisation is highlighted in purple and is located below a
fault, suggesting it is a fault offset of the Silica Hill mineralisation. The new zone is about 100m
outside the previously modelled mineralisation wireframe, defining a mineralised zone that remains
open up- and down-dip and along strike.
Kuniko has now successfully completed its Phase 1 diamond drilling program to explore extensions of
the high-grade gold–silver mineralisation at Commonwealth Main, Silica Hill, and Commonwealth
South.
The program follows the completion of a comprehensive MobileMT™ airborne geophysical survey
and soil and rock chip geochemistry programs, which have significantly expanded the exploration
footprint across the Project, identifying a roughly 4-kilometre-long conductive corridor that extends
beyond the currently defined resources (IPT ASX Release February 9th 2026).
Impact previously defined JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resources at Commonwealth and Silica Hill,
totalling 88,800 ounces of gold and 3.3 million ounces of silver, including significant zinc and lead
credits (see ASX Release September 4th 2025 for a summary). These resources are shallow, within
approximately 250 metres of surface, and remain open at depth and along strike. Importantly,
copper values increase at depth in parts of the system, highlighting the potential for a deeper
porphyry copper–gold source beneath the high-sulphidation, gold-rich VMS mineralisation.
The current drilling program is testing down-plunge and along-strike extensions to known
mineralisation, as well as priority geophysical targets identified by the MobileMT™ survey.
ASX:IPT | ABN 52 119 062 261 3
Additionally, recent soil and rock chip sampling by Kuniko at Gladstone West and Geenobby has
yielded promising high-grade gold–silver results, and further walk-up drill targets have been
identified.
Commonwealth is a very unusual gold-rich VMS system in Australia with strong similarities to the
world-class Eskay Creek deposit in the famed Golden Triangle of British Columbia. With defined
resources already in place and compelling deeper copper targets, this drilling program marks an
important step in unlocking the full potential of the Project.
Under the Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement, Kuniko can earn a 51% stake by spending $1.5
million within two years, and increase to 70% by spending an additional $1.5 million within the
following two years. Impact retains a 30% free-carried interest until the Decision to Mine, offering
substantial leverage to exploration success. At a 30% interest, Impact can either contribute or dilute
down to 10% and then convert to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty.

New Offset Mineralised Zone Discovered at Silica Hill
Phase 1 Drill Program Completed with Assays Pending
Highlights:
▪ New Discovery at Silica Hill: Significant sulphide mineralisation intersected in hole CMKNI004, comprising
a broad 70m visual zone of disseminated and stringer sulphides, including a 0.5m thick sulphide vein. The
intersection lies approximately 100m outside the previously modelled mineralisation wireframe and
defines a new mineralised zone that remains open up-dip, down-dip and along strike.
▪ Additional Mineralisation at Commonwealth South: Holes CMKNI005 and CMKNI006 intersected variable
widths of disseminated and stringer sulphide mineralisation, both outside existing identified
mineralisation.
▪ Phase I Program Completed: A total of six diamond holes completed for 1239m, marking completion of the
Phase 1 drilling program.
▪ Assays Pending: First assay results are expected in early April.
▪ Phase II Program: Now positioned to advance into a larger Phase II drilling program, targeting resource
expansion and follow up of newly identified mineralised zones.

Maja McGuire, Managing Director, commented:
“This marks a significant step forward for Silica Hill and the success of our maiden drilling program. The intersection
of a broad 70m sulphide zone in hole CMKNI004, including a 0.5m thick sulphide vein, is particularly encouraging given
it lies approximately 100m outside the previously modelled mineralisation and defines a new mineralised zone.
With mineralisation remaining open in all directions, and additional sulphide intersected at Commonwealth South
outside the existing identified mineralisation, we see strong potential to expand the system. With Phase I now
complete and assays pending, we are well positioned to advance into a larger Phase II program targeting resource
growth and follow-up of these newly identified zones, and we look forward to updating the market as assay results
become available.
Kuniko thanks Titeline Drilling for the safe and efficient execution of the diamond drilling program and acknowledges
the continued cooperation and support of the local landholder.”
Kuniko Limited (ASX: KNI) is pleased to report the discovery of a new offset zone of sulphide mineralisation at the
Silica Hill prospect, locatedapproximately 100m outside the previously modelled mineralisation. The mineralisation
was intersected in hole CMKNI004 as part of the recently completed Phase I diamond drilling program and is
interpreted to represent a down-dip extension of the Silica Hill system, remaining open up- and down-dip and along
strike.
This announcement reportsgeological observations from the recently completed Phase I drilling program. Laboratory
assay resultsfor the current drilling are pending and are expected in early April. Historical assay resultsare referenced
for context only.
New Mineralised Zone Discovered at Silica Hill
Hole CMKNI004 was designed to test a previously modelled fault plane interpreted to bound mineralisation along
the southern margin of the Silica Hill lode. The fault was intersected at a greater depth than initially planned and
returned a 0.5m thick sulphide vein (Figure 2) comprising arsenopyrite–pyrite–proustite, followed by a broad 70m
zone of disseminated and stringer sulphide mineralisation hosted within sericite-altered rhyolite porphyry (Figure
3). Mineralisation comprises multiple narrow stockwork-style veins and veinlets, together with disseminated
sulphides within the host rhyolite porphyry.
This represents the deepest drilling completed to date at Silica Hill, highlighting significant untested potential at
depth and along strike. The style of mineralisation is consistent with, and may represent, a down-dip extension of
the Silica Hill system.
Historical drilling in the vicinity has returned significant intercepts, including 41 m @ 2 g/t Au and 147 g/t Ag in
CMIPT046 and 22.5m @ 1.7 g/t Au and 276 g/t Ag (including 0.3m @ 4,200 g/t Ag) in CMIPT077 highlighting the
high-grade tenor of the system. Importantly, CMKNI004 represents a significant step-out beyond the previously
modelled mineralisation, confirming mineralisation extends outside the existing wireframe and defining a new
target zone.
Follow-up drilling is planned totest the extent of this mineralisation which is open up-and down-dip andalong strike.

Drill Program Completed
Phase I drilling has now been completed, comprising six diamond drill holes for a total of 1,239m. The program was
designed to test extensions to mineralisation at Commonwealth and Silica Hill. Encouragingly, all six holes
intersected visible sulphide mineralisation, representing a strong start to Kuniko’s maiden drill program. Planning
for Phase II follow-up drilling is already underway.
At Silica Hill, drilling successfully identified a new mineralised zone approximately 100m outside the previously
reported mineralisation, while CMKNI003 was completed as a resource infill hole.
At Main Shaft, both holes CMKNI001 and CMKNI002 intersected massive sulphide mineralisation (refer ASX
Announcement dated 5 March 2026). CMKNI001 was drilled as a resource infill hole, while CMKNI002 represents a
significant step-out from the previously reported mineralisation, with mineralisation remaining open at depth.
At Commonwealth South, holes CMKNI005 and CMKNI006 were drilled as step-out holes targeting extensions to
known mineralisation. CMKNI005 intersected approximately 30m of disseminated sulphides and stringer veins
hosted within rhyolite porphyry andthe footwall sequence. A deeper IP target wasalso tested; however, the anomaly
is interpreted to be related to black shale units, which are known to produce strong IP responses. CMKNI006
intersected approximately 33m of similar-style mineralisation, and was drilled down-dip of historical hole CMIPT017
(7m @ 25 g/t Au, 62 g/t Ag, 2.8% Zn and 1.6% Pb).
All drill core has now been cut and dispatched for assay, with first results expected in early April. Kuniko looks
forward to updating shareholders as results are received.

Commonwealth
Gold–Silver
Project Overview
The Commonwealth Project lies ~100 km north of Orange, NSW, within the prolific Lachlan Fold Belt — a Tier-1
region hostingmajoroperations such as Cadia–Ridgeway, North Parkes and Cowal (Refer: Figure 5).
TheProject comprises:
• Commonwealth deposit: a volcanogenicmassivesulphide(VMS) style system containinggold, silver,
zinc, lead and copper.
• Silica Hill deposit: an epithermal/VMS hybrid system with high-gradesilver-gold shoots within broader
zones.
• Regional upside: multipleuntested targets includingSilica Hill East, Geenobbys and Gladstone, where
geophysical and geochemical anomalies remain untested by drilling.
Impact Minerals has previously noted thattheCommonwealth mineral system shares geological characteristics
with several globally recognised VMS–epithermal deposits, such as Eskay Creek in Canada, where precious
metals are closely associated with volcanic-hosted sulphidemineralisation1
.Theseanalogies providevaluable
context for Kuniko’s exploration approach while the Company continues to develop its own geological model
specific to the Lachlan Fold Beltsetting.
Impact Minerals has previously reported JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at both
Commonwealth and Silica Hill (Refer: Impact Minerals ASX releases dated 2September 2016, 1 February 2018 and
22 August 2019). Theseestimates demonstrate thepresence of significant gold and silvermineralisation within
a broadersystem that remains open alongstrikeand depth.Kuniko notes that ithas notindependently verified
oradopted theseestimates, and they should notberelied upon as Kuniko’s own.DuringStage-1, Kuniko intends
to undertake technical work and, if appropriate, validate and update the estimates through its own Competent
Person.

About Kuniko Kuniko Limited (ASX: KNI) is a mineral exploration company advancinga diversified portfolio ofstrategic
and critical mineral projects aligned with the global energy transition and economic security objectives.
The Company’s portfolio now includes gold, silver and base metals in Australia alongsidecopper, nickel,
and cobaltprojects in the Nordics, and it is committed to high ethical and environmental standards forall
company activities. Key assets include:
▪ Commonwealth Gold–Silver Project (NSW, Australia): Binding earn-in and JV with Impact
Minerals (ASX: IPT) to earn up to 70% of a VMS/epithermal gold-silversystem in the Lachlan Fold
Belt, hostingJORC(2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at Commonwealth and Silica Hill.
▪ Ertelien Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project located in southern Norway, Ertelien hosts a JORC (2012)
Mineral Resource Estimate reported by Kuniko of 40Mt@ 0.25% NiEq, including22Mt ofIndicated
and 18Mtof Inferred resources (Refer: ASX release dated 12 December 2024) *.
▪ Ringerike Battery Metals Project: a license package hosting multiple Ni-Cu-Co-PGE targets
across a 20km mineralised trend, anchored by theErtelien deposit.
▪ Skuterud Cobalt Project: has had over 1 million tonnes of cobalt ore mined historically and was
once the world’s largest cobalt producer. Kuniko’s drill programs have seen multiple cobalt
intercepts, including high grade from shallow depths, at thepriority “Middagshvile”target.
▪ Vågå Copper Project: A VMS-style copper project with large-scale geophysical anomalies and
near-surface targets, includinga prospectivehorizon with a knownstrikeextentof~9km.Afurther
shallow conductorcan also betraced for several kilometres.
Kuniko is committed to ethical sourcing and responsible development. Across all projects, Kuniko
prioritises low-carbon operations, transparent stakeholder engagement, and alignment with the United
Nations SustainableDevelopmentGoals.Its Norwegian operations benefitfrom access to 98% renewable
energy.
* Note: The individual average grades are 0.18% nickel, 0.12% copper, and 0.014% cobalt. Nickel equivalent (NiEq)was calculated using theformula: NiEq(%)= Ni%
+ (Cu% × 0.4091) + (Co% × 1.8182), based on metal prices of US$22,000/t Ni, US$9,000/t Cu, and US$40,000/t Co. Preliminary metallurgical test work conducted at
SGS Canada indicates potential nickel recoveries of 70–75% and copper recoveries of up to 90%. The company believes, based on this work and comparison with
similar deposits, that all metals used in the NiEq calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to
the minerals under investigation, suchas down hole gammasondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). Theseexamples should not be taken as
limitingthe broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure samplerepresentivity 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 (e.g. ‘reversecirculation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 gcharge for fire
assay’). Inother cases more explanation maybe required, suchas where
there is coarse goldthat has inherent samplingproblems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• This announcementcovers thecompletion of 6 diamond holes attheCommonwealth-
Silica Hill project. Receipt ofassays is awaiting. No new assays reported.
Current Drilling
• No assay results are reported in this announcement. Sampleinterval selection for
submitted core was guided by geological logging, alteration, veiningand observed
sulphidemineralisation
• Diamond drill core(HQ3 diameter) was cut in halfusing a diamond saw, with onehalf
retained in the core trays for reference and theotherhalfsubmitted for analysis.
Samplingintervals were determined based on geological boundaries and typically
ranged between approximately 0.2 m and 1.0 m.
• Half-core samples were placed in labelled calico bags and transported to SGS Orange
(NSW) for samplepreparation. Prepared pulps were subsequently transported to SGS
Perth (WA) forgeochemical analysis.
• Gold analyses wereundertaken using 50 g fire assay with AAS finish, with gravimetric
finish used for over-limitresults. Multi-element analyses werecompleted usinga
four-acid digestion followed by ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish, which is considered a
near-total digestion suitable forbasemetal and pathfinderelement determination.
• Industry standard QAQC procedures were implemented includingthe insertion of
certified reference materials, blanks and duplicatesamples at regular intervals
within thesamplestream.
• All intervals were logged and recorded in KNI standard templates and saved in the
Company’s database.Data included: From To measurements, lithology, veining,
alteration, structures and magnetic susceptibility.

Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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 drillingwas undertaken by Titeline DrillingPty Ltd usinga small-footprint
track-mounted diamond drill rig.
• Drilling was completed usingHQ3 triple tube diamond core, which was selected to
maximisecore recovery and maintain samplequality through zones ofsulphide
mineralisation.
• Drill core was retrieved in standard corebarrels and placed into labelled coretrays.
Core was reconstructed into continuous runs on an angleiron cradle fororientation
marking and geological logging. Core depths were checked against the driller’s core
blocks and rod counts wererout
