Gold Targeting at Darlot West Gold Project

In brief · summary, not quotable

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc announced promising results from its initial geochemical soil sampling program at the Darlot West Gold Project. The sampling, covering 2.45km 2 of the E37/1396 tenement, indicates successful mineralization detection below soil cover, aligning with high-grade gold from recent rock chip sampling. High tenor rock chip results being followed up, returning over 10 g/t include 65.75 g/t Au, 40.44 g/t Au, 27.23 g/t Au, 19.79 g/t Au, 15.89 g/t Au, 15.40 g/t Au, 14.39 g/t Au, 13.99 g/t Au, 12.66 g/t Au, 12.45 g/t Au and 10.78 g/t Au. The company plans to expand the geochemical sampling grid across the entire 60.6km 2 project and expects high-resolution airborne magnetics results soon to refine drilling areas.

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, is pleased to announce highly promising results from the initial trial geochemical soil sampling program from its Darlot West Gold Project ("Darlot West"), located only 10km southwest of the iconic Darlot Gold Mine in Western Australia with 2.8 million ounces of gold produced to date, and 25km north of Northern Star Limited Thunderbox Gold Mine with annual production of 232koz, resource of 4.7Moz and reserves of 1.96Moz gold (Figure 3).

​

Geochemical soil sampling contoured assays (Figure 1) over 3 small areas on the smaller tenement E37/1396 (2.45km2 sampled area vs 60.6km2 overall tenement area) indicates that the exploration technique can successfully see mineralisation below soil cover, associated with the high-grade gold grades seen from recent outcrop rock chip sampling. The sampling was done using the Ultrafine Fraction of -200microns, which suppresses the ppb assay number result, but makes the data less noisy. The data is showing trends associated with lower magnetic intensity that will continue to be the focus of the Company. High-resolution magnetic data is due in the coming weeks, which will further refine the resolution of targets for follow-up work.

The multiple rock chip results over 1g/t gold results reported on 24 October 2025 (Figure 1 and 2), with the results plotted on regional low-resolution open file magnetics, indicate significant area-wide gold potential, which is also supported by the trial geochemical soil data results and contours as shown on Figure 1. The geochemical contours indicate trends below soil cover around the recently released outcrop rock chip assays and are showing potential strike increases to the gold mineralisation. The magnetic highs and lows as shown indicate the structural complexity and dilation zones over the project area. There are large areas with clear evidence of highly elevated gold mineralisation, with geochemical contours supporting this, which bodes well for future exploration.

​

High Tenor of Rock chip results being followed up, returning over 10 g/t include:

o 65.75 g/t Au (2.11 ounces of gold per tonne)

o 40.44 g/t Au (1.30 ounces of gold per tonne)

o 27.23 g/t Au

o 19.79 g/t Au

o 15.89 g/t Au

o 15.40 g/t Au

o 14.39 g/t Au

o 13.99 g/t Au

o 12.66 g/t Au

o 12.45 g/t Au

o 10.78 g/t Au

Tom Evans, Cloudbreak's MD, commented: "The excellent geochemical soil gold results and contours over soil covered areas that surround high tenor outcrop rock chip samples, have increased the strike of potential mineralisation within the small trial programme areas within E37/1396. This sampling technique will now be rolled out over the entire tenement package to identify new targets in a very cost-effective manner. 60km2 is a lot of land and using this type of geochemical sampling and analysis will fast track our exploration efforts here. We see gold associated with lower magnetic intensity rocks over a large area and significant gold mineralisation potential over large parts of the Darlot West project, with geochemical sampling seen as a viable exploration technique at Darlot West to be expanded over the entire project. The Darlot West Gold Project covers 60.6km2 and is a sizeable area, and with samples now up to 65.75g/t gold, we will continue to follow up on high priority gold mineralisation over the project with the aim of moving the project towards drilling as soon as possible. We expect the high-resolution magnetic survey results shortly, which will add to plans for the next round of exploration I look forward to updating shareholders as results come to hand."

Future plans and work programs:

  • High-resolution airborne magnetics results expected within weeks.
  • Expand the geochemical sampling grid across the project.
  • The above results will assist with plans to refine areas for drilling
