High-Impact Drilling Set to Commence at Elizabeth Creek

Released 30 Jan 2025 - 8:20 AM

Announcement PDF Coda Minerals 2025X ASX RELEASE Code: COD 30 January 2025 ASX Code: COD High-Impact Drilling Set to Commence at Elizabeth Creek Prospective targets at Emmie East to be drill-tested, with potential to deliver a substantial expansion of the existing ~1Mt Contained CuEq Resource base at Elizabeth Creek. Highlights • Drilling scheduled to commence in early-mid February at Emmie East, targeting strong geophysical anomalies with the potential to host significant extensions of the existing Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource. • A very similar geophysical response has been identified to the east of Emmie Bluff as is seen in the core of the deposit, offering strong potential for the discovery of a secondary sub-basin. • Strong geological contrast between the potential host rock and surrounding strata should allow for preliminary visual results to be released within weeks of drilling commencing. Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD, “Coda”, or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that final preparations have been completed for a high-impact exploration drill programme targeting extensions of the cornerstone Emmie Bluff coppercobalt-silver deposit at its 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project (ECCCP) in South Australia. Drill contractors are expected to mobilise in the second week of February with drilling commencing shortly thereafter. The first round of drilling will consist of up to 2,000m of drilling, comprising four Reverse Circulation pre-collars with diamond tails. The program will target repeats of the Emmie Bluff mineralisation immediately to the east and south-east of the main Mineral Resource (collectively the “Emmie East” prospect), which comprises 40.2Mt @1.87% CuEq1. Additional holes may be drilled, subject to results. Commenting on the upcoming drilling programme, Coda CEO Chris Stevens said: “Drilling at the Emmie East prospect area will test several high-confidence geophysical targets which exhibit many distinct similarities to the area which covers the main Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource. This similarity extends across not just the electrical properties of the rock as seen through MT, but also the acoustic properties of the rock as assessed by 2D seismic. “Emmie East represents a material anomaly which extends over an area comprising approximately half of the existing Emmie Bluff Resource based on the extensive geophysics we have completed. “We define success at Emmie East as being able to replicate the intercepts which we have reported within the bounds of the Emmie Bluff Resource – which typically comprise mineralised horizons 2-6m thick with copper equivalent grades in excess of 1% CuEq. These intersections, while less thick than those encountered further down at Emmie Deeps, can extend for kilometres in multiple directions, as they do at Emmie Bluff. Put together, these intercepts can result in a very large accumulations of metal. Although rare in Australia, deposits of this type represent around 20% of global copper production2. All necessary preparations are now complete with our drilling contractor targeting mobilisation to site during the second week of February.” 1 Emmie Bluff Resource is comprised of 93% Indicated and 7% Inferred.

Accessory metals including copper, cobalt and zinc are also present in significant concentrations at Elizabeth Creek. Emmie Bluff is located at an approximate depth of 400m below the surface. The sediment-hosted mineralisation which this programme is targeting is separate and entirely distinct from the Emmie Deeps IOCG prospect, which the Company began drilling in 2021. Emmie Deeps mineralisation begins at approximately 800m below surface. Figure 2 NNW Looking section through Emmie Bluff MRE (left) and primary geophysical exploration target at Emmie East (right).

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)3. 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) deposits4. 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 these three deposits was released in March of 2023 and updated in January5, March6 and December of 2024. The updated study demonstrated an economically robust project with a 16 year mine life, capable of producing approximately 26,700 tonnes of copper and 1,300 tonnes of cobalt at steady state production levels. The project had a lifetime average AISC of USD $1.80/lb of Cu (after by-product credits) and an approximately pre-tax NPV7 of $1.18B7. Coda has also discovered a significant IOCG system adjacent to and below the Emmie Bluff target, with initial deep diamond drilling in June 2021 intersecting 200m of intense IOCG alteration at the Emmie IOCG target, including approximately 50m of copper sulphide mineralisation8. Since then, Coda has drilled 21 holes into Emmie IOCG, with all but three returning significant widths of mineralisation, some over 3% copper and 0.5g/t gold9. Coda has a dual strategy for success at Elizabeth Creek. Firstly, it is working towards the next step in the development process for its Zambian-style copper cobalt projects by advancing technical and economic studies to build on the results of the recently updated Scoping Study, while simultaneously undertaking exploration to further define and extend known Zambian-style copper-cobalt resources across multiple prospects. 3 2024.01.30 - Scoping Study Update Delivers Materially Improved Economics Competent Person: Dr Michael Cunningham. 4 2020.10.26 - Confirmation Statements JORC, Competent Person: Tim Callaghan. 5 2024.01.30 - Scoping Study Update Delivers Materially Improved Economics 6 2024.03.14 – Further Key Improvement in Underground Project Economics 7 2024.12.03 – New Resources, Higher Recoveries Boost Elizabeth Creek Value.

ELIZABETH CREEK Coda also has consolidated 100% ownership of the Cameron River Copper-Gold-Uranium Project, located in the highly prospective Mount Isa Inlier in Queensland. The Project comprises 35km2 of copper and gold exploration tenure spanning two Exploration Permits (EPMs 27042 and 27053). 6 Altona Street,West Perth Western Australia, 6005 E: info@codaminerals.com ABN 49 625 763 957 Elizabeth Creek Mineral Resources Table 2 Aggregated Mineral Resources at Elizabeth Creek ELIZABETH CREEK OPEN PIT Resource Category Type Proposed Tonnage Cut-oﬀ Mining Mt Grade Method Copper Cobalt Silver Zinc Copper Equivalent Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained (% Cu) Metal (t) (ppm Co) Metal (t) (g/t Ag) Metal (Moz) (ppm Zn) Metal (t) (% CuEq) Metal (t) 684 4000 MG14 Indicated Zambian Open Pit 1.8 0.5% CuEq 1.2% 22,700 330 600 14 0.8 CaUle Grid South Inferred Breccia Open Pit 5.8 0.2% Cu 0.6% 36,000 120 700 3.5 0.7 Windabout Indicated Zambian Open Pit 17.7 0.5% CuEq 0.8% 136,100 490 8700 8 4.6 1.4% 249,100 Sub Totals Indicated Zambian Open Pit 19.5 0.5 CuEq 0.8% 158,800 480 9300 8.5 5.4 1.4% 316,000 (Open Pit) Inferred Breccia Open Pit 5.8 0.2% Cu 0.6% 36,000 120 700 3.5 1 Proposed Tonnage Cut-oﬀ Mining Mt Grade UNDERGROUND Resource Category Type Method Copper Cobalt 1.7% 684 Silver 30,600 36,00010 4,000 Zinc Copper Equivalent Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained Grade Contained (% Cu) Metal (t) (ppm Co) Metal (t) (g/t Ag) Metal (Moz) (ppm Zn) Metal (t) (% CuEq) Metal (t) Indicated Zambian Underground 37.5 1% CuEq 1.3% 485,000 590 22,000 17 20.6 1800 66000 1.9% 715,000 Emmie Bluﬀ Inferred Zambian Underground 2.7 1% CuEq 0.9% 46,000 280 1,000 12 1.1 1700 5000 1.3% 36,000 Sub Total (Underground) Combined Zambian Underground 40.2 1% CuEq 1.3% 511,000 570 23,000 16.8 21.7 1700 70000 1.9% 751,000 Project Wide Total11 65.5 Mt 725,800t Contained Cu 33,000t contained Co 28 Moz Contained Ag 75,000t Contained Zn12 1,067,000t contain CuEq 10 No Copper Equivalent was calculated for Cattle Grid South.

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 Copper Cobalt Zinc Silver Coefficient 0.8 0.85 0.9 0.85 Forecast Price $7,000 $55,000 $2,100 $18.50 Price Unit USD/Tonne USD/Tonne USD/Tonne 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 Copper Cobalt Mining Recovery % 0.9 0.9 Dilution % Recovery % Payability % Forecast Price Price Unit 0.05 0.05 0.6 0.85 0.7 0.75 $6,600 $55,000 USD/Tonne 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 It is the opinion of the company that both sets of prices used in the calculations are reasonable to conservative longterm 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. 6 Altona Street,West Perth Western Australia, 6005 E: info@codaminerals.com ABN 49 625 763 957 ELIZABETH CREEK For full details of the Emmie Bluff Metal Equivalent calculation, please see “Scoping Study Update Delivers Materially Improved Economics”, released to the ASX on 30th January 2024 and available at https://www.codaminerals.com/wpcontent/uploads/2024/01/20240130_Coda_ASX-ANN_Scoping-Study-Update-Delivers-Materially-ImprovedEconomics_RELEASE.pdf.
