Diamond Drilling Advances at the Sokdee Project

At the Spine target within the Sokdee Project, diamond drilling has continued to progress well. Seven of the planned first-pass eleven drill holes have now been completed, with two additional holes currently in progress. To date, approximately 850 metres have been drilled as the programme advances toward evaluating the target’s mineral potential.

Core logging and geological sampling are progressing alongside drilling operations. Several drill holes have been fully logged and sampled, with geological samples prepared and submitted to ALS for laboratory analysis. Maintaining high-quality sampling and analytical procedures remains fundamental to ensuring reliable exploration data and supporting future geological interpretation.

Building Quality Data Through Technical Excellence

Exploration extends well beyond drilling alone. Behind every assay result is a comprehensive process that includes safe core handling, geotechnical and geological logging, core orientation marking, sample preparation, and systematic sampling. These technical procedures are essential for maintaining data integrity and providing the information needed to accurately interpret geological structures and mineralisation.

Initial drilling has delivered encouraging early results. Drill hole NT26-029DD at Section 2250N intersected gold mineralisation hosted within propylitic altered andesitic volcanic breccia containing quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and dark grey sulphide veinlets. While exploration remains ongoing, these observations provide valuable geological information that will help guide subsequent drilling and target evaluation.

Soil Sampling Continues at the Vangma Project

At the Vangma Project, laboratory results from 86 soil samples collected across the southern portion of the Flank target have identified copper and molybdenum anomalies. These results further support the prospectivity of the area and will help inform the planning of future exploration activities.

Systematic geochemical sampling continues to play an important role in refining exploration targets and improving the understanding of mineral systems across the project area.

Responsible Exploration Includes Rehabilitation

Environmental stewardship remains an integral part of Annamite Resources’ exploration programme. Rehabilitation of drill sites is undertaken as work progresses to ensure disturbed areas are safely restored.

Within rubber plantation areas, drill pads are rehabilitated to return the land to safe and stable conditions, enabling landowners to resume normal rubber tapping and collection activities. In preparation for the monsoon season, the exploration team also completed inspections of all drill pads and access roads, implementing remediation measures where necessary to minimise erosion risks and maintain safe site conditions.

Adapting Exploration Through Continuous Interpretation

Exploration is an iterative process, with geological information continually reviewed as new data becomes available. Ongoing interpretation of drilling, geological observations, soil geochemistry, and laboratory assays allows the exploration team to refine priorities and adapt the drilling programme where appropriate, ensuring resources are directed toward the most prospective targets.

As exploration activities continue across the Sokdee and Vangma Projects, Annamite Resources remains committed to delivering high-quality technical work through responsible exploration practices. The Company looks forward to providing further updates as drilling, sampling, laboratory analysis, and geological interpretation continue to advance its understanding of the mineral potential within its projects in Laos.
