Drilling Commences at Emmie East
RC drill rig mobilised over the weekend and has commenced drilling at the Emmie East Copper-Cobalt
Prospect, with a diamond rig to follow in the coming days.
Highlights
• Drilling of RC pre-collars commenced at Emmie East over the weekend, with a second drill rig anticipated to arrive on
site later this week to complete the diamond tails.
• Priority has been given to the easternmost holes, testing the geophysical response in the area which has been
identified as being very similar to the Emmie Bluff deposit in its electromagnetic and seismic signature.
• The four Emmie East drill-holes are anticipated to average between 400 and 500m, with the first diamond tail expected
to be completed within the next 2-3 weeks.
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD, “Coda”, or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that drilling has now commenced at the
Emmie East prospect, with the mobilisation of the first Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig. Emmie East is a prospect located
immediately east of the Emmie Bluff deposit, the cornerstone copper-cobalt-silver deposit within the Company’s 100%owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project (ECCCP) in South Australia.

ELIZABETH CREEK
The first round of drilling will consist of up to 2,000m, 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% CuEq 1. Additional holes may
be drilled, subject to results.
Commenting on the drilling programme, Coda CEO Chris Stevens said: “We have been evaluating the Emmie East target
through advanced geophysics and geological input for some time now. At this point, there is nothing left to do but drill it.
We are very pleased that the drill rigs are now turning and eagerly anticipate seeing the results.
“We will monitor the drill programme over the coming weeks and provide regular updates to the market as information
becomes available.”

Emmie Bluff Geology
ELIZABETH CREEK
Emmie Bluff is a sediment-hosted, Kupferschiefer or Zambian-style copper deposit, which typically form as relatively narrow
but laterally extensive sheets of high-grade copper mineralisation at the contacts between black shale and red-bed
sandstones. 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.

Programme Timeline
ELIZABETH CREEK
The Company anticipates 5-7 days of RC pre-collar drilling at the easternmost targets at Emmie East before transitioning to
diamond drilling, with the first two holes expected to take approximately 2 weeks to complete to final depth.
At that point, depending on results, the Company will decide whether to move to a new target area in the south, or to
complete drilling of Priority-2 targets at the Emmie East prospect. Proposed drilling after these four holes will be dependent
on results and may include transitioning to drilling the Oakden Prospect further south or additional drilling at Emmie Bluff
to follow up positive results.

About Coda Minerals
ELIZABETH CREEK
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)2. 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) deposits3. 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
January4, March5 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 $1.18B 6.
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 mineralisation7. 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
gold8.
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.

Secondly, it is undertaking a substantial geophysical and related assessment programme at the Emmie IOCG
prospect to further understand the structures and extent of the geological model defined through drilling.

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).

No Copper Equivalent was calculated for Cattle Grid South. Contained CuEq tonnes quoted in this column for Cattle Grid South consist of contained copper only.
Total figures have been aggregated purely for convenience and to contextualise the specific contribution of individual Mineral Resource Estimates to the overall project scale. Grades reported are tonnage-weighted
averages of the individual Mineral Resource Estimates. Coda notes that the total figure includes resources reported at varying cut-off grades, with varying estimation techniques, metallurgical properties and proposed
mining methods. Individual Mineral Resource Estimates should be considered individually. A total copper equivalent figure has not been disclosed as Coda does not believe it is currently appropriate to calculate a

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.

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

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.

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.
