Summary
• Drilling has commenced to test the T55 Cu-Au Porphyry Target in the Company interpreted NW extension of the Macquarie Arc, NSW
• $80,000 NSW Government drilling grant was awarded under the Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Exploration Program which will contribute 40% of the cost for the 500m deep rotary mud and diamond core tail drill hole
• Drilling is expected to take two weeks, assays expected in early Q1, 2026
• This program is fully funded with a recent successful $2.5m* placement to advance exploration activities
The co-funding drilling grant awarded is recognition by the NSW Geological Survey of the targeting work completed by project partner Nimrod Resources and the Altitude technical team and is very encouraging for our concept of a large-scale Cu-Au porphyry mineral system on the project at the T55 Target, 60km east of the main Byrock Project area. This will be the 3rd drilling program in four months and is in line with Altitude’s pipeline strategy of unlocking shareholder value through testing for high-quality discoveries.
