Elizabeth Creek Drilling Underpins PFS Advancement
Steady Progress at Coda’s ongoing major drill programme is providing a strong foundation for the Elizabeth
Creek PFS.
Highlights
• Three-rig, 6,000–7,000m diamond drill programme progressing safely and efficiently across all three major deposits
at Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project in South Australia.
• The copper-silver bearing mineralised Tapley Hill Formation shale has been intersected as modelled, confirming
geological interpretation and resource continuity at Emmie Bluff.
• As at the date of this announcement, Coda has completed four drillholes and is well advanced on a further three,
representing approximately 25% of the total planned programme.
• Core samples to advance PFS and optimise whole-ore chloride leach flowsheet, underpinning project economics and
future development.
• The most recent Scoping Study update estimated the pre-tax NPV(7) of the Elizabeth Creek project to be
approximately $1.3B, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 39%1
. Copper and Silver spot prices are currently 17%
and 70% higher than were assumed in this study, suggesting considerable upside at spot. 2
• Current work programme expected to produce significant ongoing news flow including:
- Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) incorporating results from the 19-hole drilling programme.
- Exploration update outlining next-phase targets, including southern open-pit prospects.
- Mine plan optimisation study presenting the preferred development case and updated project economics.
- Hydrogeological and water availability modelling to support PFS design and permitting.
- Progress on environmental and mining approvals advancing Elizabeth Creek toward development readiness.
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD, “Coda” or “the Company”) is pleased to update the market regarding progress at its
ongoing drill programme at the Company’s flagship 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project in South Australia.
The current programme comprises three diamond drill rigs operating across Coda’s three major deposits at Elizabeth Creek.
A total of 19 holes for approximately 6,000–7,000 metres of PQ-sized core are planned. Each drill hole has multiple
objectives — including resource definition, metallurgical sampling and geotechnical characterisation — providing critical
data to support the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) currently underway.
Despite minor weather-related delays during mobilisation, drilling progress has been strong. All three rigs are now operating
on double shifts, with production rates and core quality meeting expectations. Importantly, the mineral-bearing Tapley Hill

Formation shale has been consistently intersected at the depths predicted by Coda’s geological models, confirming both
the accuracy of the Company’s resource interpretation and the robustness of the deposit model.
Commenting on the drill programme, Coda Minerals CEO Chris Stevens said: ““It’s great to see the rigs turning again at
Elizabeth Creek. The team is operating safely and efficiently, and we’re very pleased with the consistency of results so far.
The Tapley shale at Emmie Bluff has been intersected right where anticipated, reinforcing our confidence in the geological
model and the quality of the work that underpins it.
“Because this programme has been designed to directly support our PFS, drilling is focussed within the bounds of known
resources, with each hole delivering multiple outcomes. Beyond improving resource confidence at Emmie Bluff, the core will
provide essential information for geotechnical, hydrogeological and mining studies, and support environmental approvals
through detailed waste rock characterisation work.
“Importantly, it will also generate the metallurgical samples needed to continue advancing our whole-ore chloride leach
processing flowsheet. That approach has already had a transformational impact on project economics by shifting Elizabeth
Creek’s value squarely toward copper and silver, both of which are experiencing strong demand fundamentals. Through this
programme, we are taking the next step in refining that flowsheet and ensuring the PFS is built on the strongest possible
technical foundations.”

Current Status
Although the programme did experience minor weather-related delays during ramp up, progress is currently steady, and
the company estimates the programme to be approximately 25 – 30% as of the time of writing of this announcement.

Results have been broadly in line with expectations to date, based on the existing mineral resource model. Drilling has
commenced in the north western corner of the deposit, where the resource model suggests mineralisation is likely to be
relatively narrower and lower grade than further south and east.
Results to date include:
• DD25EB0041 1.75m from 397.7mwith bleb and veinlet chalcopyrite (1-3%) as part of a broader sequence of
6.4m from 383.4m with 1-2% CPY, 0-2% PY and 0-3% SP
• DD25EB0042 2.97m from 407.1m with veinlet and blebby chalcopyrite (1-2%) and pyrite (1-2%).
• DD25MG140001 5m from 29.1m with 1-3% disseminated chalcocite and trace chalcopyrite
• DD25MG140002 2m from 29.5m with 1-2% chalcocite
All results reported to date represent visual estimates. In line with AIG guidelines, Coda reminds readers that visual
estimates should never be considered a proxy or substitute for more rigorous methods, and that they inherently include
subjectivity and uncertainty. Laboratory confirmation is critical to determine the accuracy of estimates and accurately
represent the metal grade of any given sample, or overall grade of any intercept. The assay results are expected to be
received and released in Q1 2026 as part of the Mineral Resource update.

About Coda Minerals
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD) is focused on the discovery and development of minerals that are leveraged
to the global energy transformation through electrification and the adoption of renewable energy technologies.
Coda's flagship asset is the 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project, located in the world-class
Olympic Copper Province in the Eastern Gawler Craton, South Australia’s most productive copper belt. Elizabeth
Creek is centred 100km south of BHP’s Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium mine, 15km from its new Oak Dam
West Project and 50km west of its Carrapateena copper-gold project.
Coda consolidated 100% ownership of the Elizabeth Creek Copper Project after completing the acquisition of its
former joint venture partner, Torrens Mining, in the first half of 2022.
In December 2021, Coda announced a maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Emmie
Bluff copper-cobalt deposit at Elizabeth Creek, which was later updated in January of 2024. The Mineral
Resource comprises 40.2Mt @ 1.27% copper, 569ppm cobalt, 17g/t silver and 0.17% zinc (1.87% Copper
Equivalent (CuEq)) containing approximately 510kt copper, 23kt cobalt, 21.7Moz silver and 70kt zinc (751kt
CuEq)4
. Importantly, 95% of the contained metal is classified in the higher confidence ‘Indicated Resource’
category and is available for use in mining studies.
Emmie Bluff is one of three known ‘Zambian-style’ copper-cobalt deposits at Elizabeth Creek, including JORC
2012 compliant Indicated Mineral Resources at the Windabout (18Mt @ 1.14% CuEq) and MG14 (1.8Mt @ 1.67%
CuEq) deposits5
. Collectively, the three resources at Elizabeth Creek now host a total of over 1 million tonnes of
contained copper equivalent.
A Scoping Study into the development of the deposits at Elizabeth Creek was first released in March 20236
and
subsequently updated in January7
, March8
, and December 20249
, with the most recent update completed in
August 202510
. The latest study incorporated a major metallurgical breakthrough that increased copper and
silver recoveries through a simplified whole-ore leach flowsheet, delivering stronger economics and lower costs.
The result is a significantly strengthened copper–silver base case project, with a pre-tax NPV7 of $1.3 billion and
an IRR of 39%, producing an average of 31.4kt of copper and 1.4Moz of silver per annum over a 15.5-year mine
life. The revised copper–silver base case forms the foundation for the ongoing Prefeasibility Study, with cobalt
providing future upside potential.
Coda is rapidly advancing a fully funded Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) at Elizabeth Creek with an aggressive ongoing
work programme with the aim to advance the Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project towards development and
commercialisation.

Statement Regarding Metal Equivalent Calculations
Metal Equivalent grades are quoted for one or more of the Emmie Bluff, Windabout and MG14 Mineral
Resources, or for exploration results considered by the company to be related directly to one of these Mineral
Resources, in this announcement.
For the Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource:
The Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource is reported as 40.2Mt @ 1.27% Cu, 569 ppm Co, 16.8 g/t Ag and 0.17% Zn
(1.87% Copper Equivalent (CuEq)) reported at a cut-off grade of 1% CuEq. The calculation of this metal equivalent
is based on the following assumptions.
Metal Coefficient Forecast Price Price Unit
Copper 0.8 $7,000 USD/Tonne
Cobalt 0.85 $55,000 USD/Tonne
Zinc 0.9 $2,100 USD/Tonne
Silver 0.85 $18.50 USD/Oz
Price assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based primarily on Consensus
Economics forecasts of metals, except for Cobalt, which was sourced via communication with subject matter
experts. Metallurgical assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based on a simple bulk
float utilising rougher and minimal cleaner/scavenger circuits. The produced a reasonably consistent mean
recovery across most metals of between approximately 83 and 94 percent. For simplicity, and to in part account
for losses associated with less intensive cleaner floats and losses to the hydromet plant, these figures were
rounded down to the nearest 5%.
Application of these assumptions resulted in the following calculation of CuEq:
𝐶𝑢𝐸𝑞% = 𝐶𝑢% + 0.00068 × 𝐶𝑜 𝑝𝑝𝑚 + 0.337 × 𝑍𝑛 % + 90.3 ×
𝐴𝑔 𝑝𝑝𝑚
10000
For the Windabout and MG14 Mineral Resource:
The Windabout and MG14 Mineral Resource are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.5% CuEq as:
• Windabout: 17.67Mt @ 0.77% Cu, 492 ppm Co and 8 g/t Ag (1.41% CuEq)
• MG14: 1.83Mt @ 1.24% Cu, 334 ppm Co and 14 g/t Ag (1.84% CuEq)
The calculation of this metal equivalent is based on the following assumptions.
Metal Mining
Recovery %
Dilution % Recovery % Payability % Forecast Price Price Unit
Copper 0.9 0.05 0.6 0.7 $6,600 USD/Tonne
Cobalt 0.9 0.05 0.85 0.75 $55,000 USD/Tonne
Price assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based on recent historical metal prices
at the time of calculation (2018). Metallurgical assumptions are based on extensive metallurgical testwork
undertaken on the two deposits to 2018 across various potential flowsheets involving both floatation and
leaching. Ag analyses in the estimation and metallurgical testwork were considered insufficient at the time to
include in the metal equivalent calculation.
Application of these assumptions resulted in the following calculation of CuEq:
𝐶𝑢𝐸𝑞% = 𝐶𝑢% + 0.0012 × 𝐶𝑜 𝑝𝑝𝑚

Western Australia, 6005
E: info@codaminerals.com
ABN 49 625 763 957
It is the opinion of the company that both sets of prices used in the calculations are reasonable to conservative
long-term forecasts for real dollar metal prices during the years most relevant to the deposits (approx. 2026-
2030).
It is the opinion of the company that all of the elements included in the metal equivalent calculations have a
reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

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, 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 (e.g. ‘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
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Core was logged in the field and approximate metal content of potentially mineralised
zones was measured at regular intervals with a portable XRF device at measurement
intervals of between 0.1 and 0.5m. Sampling intervals were selected by field geologists
based on logging and XRF results.
• Understanding of the mineralising system based on both historical drilling and previous
drilling by Coda, as well as the XRF results, allowed large parts of the holes to remain
unsampled. Sampling is typically restricted to areas of intersected Tapley Hill fm. and
immediate surrounds.
• Coda’s field personnel cut the core on site prior to sending to be assayed.
• Portable XRF readings were taken in the field using an Olympus Vanta M tool applied
directly to the core at either single or half metre intervals, depending on prior results or
visual identification of potential grade by the field geologist. The sample was not
prepared except by standard cleaning of core by driller’s offsiders. XRF readings were
taken at ambient summer daytime temperature for Woomera in South Australia,
between 20 and 43 degrees Celsius.
• The device was used in 3-beam mode, scanning for a total of 10, 10 and 10 seconds for
the two 40 KV beams and the final 50KV beam respectively. The device is designed to
