ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Nine New Gold Target Areas Identified as Phase III
Exploration Commences at Marble Bar
Highlights
• Nine new gold target areas (Figure 2) identified across the expanded ~118km² Marble Bar Project,
significantly broadening the discovery footprint beyond the four prospects drilled to date.
• Targets generated using the same high-resolution drone imagery and gold-in-soil geochemistry approach
that underpinned Kali’s high-grade Phase II drilling success, including 2.6m @ 10.8 g/t Au from 8.7m
(MBDD004) and 1.8m @ 7.4 g/t Au from surface (MBDD002)0F

.
• First-ever exploration of the highly prospective Warrawoona Group volcanic rocks on the Project’s
western margin (Area A) – the host sequence to the historically mined high-grade gold at Marble Bar and
to the operating Klondyke Gold Mine, located 10km to the south.
• Helicopter-supported Phase III reconnaissance program of geological mapping, ground truthing and
sampling commencing mid-October – delivering rapid, cost-effective coverage of all nine target areas in
approximately 10 days.
• Results from the recently completed project-wide hyperspectral survey are being integrated to further
refine and rank targets.
• Heritage surveys running in parallel over selected areas, including extensions to previously drilled
prospects, positioning Kali to move quickly from reconnaissance to drill testing.
Paul Adams, Managing Director of Kali Metals, commented:
“Phase III marks a step-change in the scale of our exploration at Marble Bar. Having validated our
targeting approach with high-grade drill results, including 2.6m @ 10.8 g/t Au1
, we have now identified
nine new target areas across the Project – substantially expanding our discovery opportunity.
Our combination of high-resolution drone imagery and soil geochemistry has proven highly effective in
this terrain, and our drilling to date has given us a clear understanding of the key geological features
that distinguish mineralised from un-mineralised veins. We are now applying that knowledge at scale.
Importantly, for the first time we will be exploring the Warrawoona Group volcanic rocks on the western
side of the Project – the same host rocks to the historic high-grade Marble Bar goldfield and the
Klondyke Gold Mine to our south. This is a significant new opportunity for Kali.
Our helicopter-supported program allows us to cover this large area rapidly and cost-effectively and,
with heritage surveys running in parallel, we are positioning Kali to advance from reconnaissance to
drilling without delay.
We look forward to updating shareholders as results come to hand.”

Nine new target areas identified
Kali Metals Limited (ASX: KM1) (“Kali” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has identified nine
new gold target areas (Areas A to I, Figure 2) on its expanded Marble Bar tenement package. These areas will
be the subject of a helicopter-supported ground truthing, mapping and sampling program commencing in mid-
October, with the potential to significantly expand the discovery opportunity for high-grade surface gold
mineralisation across the tenement package.
The Project is located approximately 10–15km east of Marble Bar, within and along the western margins of the
Mt Edgar Intrusive Complex, comprising approximately 118 km2
of granitoids, basalt, felsic volcanics and
sedimentary units. At the western margin of the tenement package, in Reconnaissance Area A (see Figure 2),
rocks of the Homeward Bound Granite and felsic volcanics of the Warrawoona Group host the historically
mined, high-grade gold mineralisation at Marble Bar. The Warrawoona Group rocks also host the gold
mineralisation at the operating Klondyke Gold Mine, located 10km to the south of the Company’s Marble Bar
tenements.

Phase III Reconnaissance Program commencing
The new target areas (currently labelled A to I, see Figure 2) were identified from the latest round of soil
sampling (see Figure 3) and additional high-resolution imagery obtained during the September quarter 2026.
These techniques were used with a high degree of success in identifying the four prospects (Tiger I, Tiger II,
Churchill and Sherman) that were the subject of Kali’s recently completed Phase II RC and diamond drilling
campaigns. Significant intersections from the completed diamond drilling include1F

The mapping and sampling campaign over the new target areas will commence in mid-October and take
approximately 10 days to complete, using helicopter-supported logistics. This has proven to be the most cost-
and time-effective way of completing the exploration program over such a large areal extent. Results will be
used to rank and prioritise targets for follow-up drill testing.
