POSITIONED IN A TIER-1 GOLD DISTRICT
QLD projects sit in the
Kennedy Igneous
Association
An underexplored igneous
province that hosts multiple multi-
million-ounce gold systems and
large porphyry copper potential
Surrounded by Tier-1
Gold Endowment
The district is ringed by major
producing and historical gold
systems including Kidston
(5.0Moz), Ravenswood (4.0Moz),
Pajingo (3.6Moz), Mt Leyshon
(3.5Moz) and Charters Towers
(6.5Moz)
Established Infrastructure & Access
A Tier-1 mining jurisdiction with road, rail and processing infrastructure,
derisks the path from exploration to development
Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX:L1M) | Investor Presentation | 6
Our Mt Turner Project
• District Scale potential (Au and Cu) across
multiple key targets
• Drummer Fault target is up to 14 km mineralisation
zone containing historical gold workings and a 100%
success rate from initial drilling end 2025.
Near Term Catalysts:
• Western Zone Soil sample assays due in August
• Drummer Fault Phase 2 drilling program due mid-
August
Longer term value
• Multiple Gold targets and MRE addition, within a
broader shallow hosted, Copper and base metals
Porphyry system
MT TURNER – MULTIPLE KEY TARGETS
The Drummer Fault is our first target that helps unlocks the Mt Turner Project 1,2,4.

Mt Turner
• Potentially hosts multiple Porphyry derived targets from a
Back Arc system.
• Resembles global peers both on scale and multi
commodity potential, e.g. Dexing Copper mine in China,
Bingham Canyon (USA) and others.
• At Mt Turner, Hole NS4 intersected stockwork porphyry
mineralisation at 280m depth, which confirms the
exploration model.
MT TURNER – EXPLORATION MODEL
Key exploration data reveals a district scale geological system.
Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX:L1M) | Investor Presentation | 8
MT TURNER – EXPLORATION MODEL
Key exploration data reveals the likelihood of a prospective and district scale geological system.
Mt Turner resembles classic Back Arc Cu-Mo Systems
• That include epithermal gold mineralisation within a
classic copper-Mo porphyry domain
• Our targets are shown highlighted on an illustrative
example
• The Dexing Copper mine is a peer example and is one
of the largest porphyry copper–molybdenum deposits
in China.

Drummer Fault - Phase 2 Drilling potentially unlocks the value of eastern section of the Drummer Fault.
Figure 1 - Location Map and Geology, with LiDAR derived DTM (Digital Terrain Model)
Drummer Fault represents a ~14km mineralised
corridor across the Georgetown Inlier with
extensive known gold mineralisation and a
100% drilling hit rate from Phase 1 drilling end of
2025.

MT TURNER- DRUMMER FAULT TARGET
Phase 2 Drilling: Building on Phase 1 Success (2025)
Phase 2 Drilling:
Building on Phase 1 Success (2025)
• Phase 3 drilling to test 5 targets across Pit 2
and Pit 3 on the Drummer Fault
• Designed to extend known mineralisation
between these historical oxide pits
• Builds on Phase 1 results, where all holes
intersected breccia-hosted gold below the
oxide pits
• Follows soil geochemistry linking Pit 3
westward over 1.6km of strike
• Phase 2 drilling to commence mid-August
2026, with Phase 3 planning underway in
parallel
• Next step toward a maiden Mineral Resource
Estimate at Mt Turner
Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX:L1M) | Investor Presentation | 11
WARBY TUNGSTEN
Emerging Tungsten Exposure
Tungsten’s Turn
• Tungsten prices up sharply over 18 months, driven by
defence, semiconductors and clean energy demand
• China controls ~80% of global supply. Export curbs are
pushing the West to secure new sources
• Warby sits in the same North Queensland tungsten belt
as Mt Carbine
• Andrew Forrest just backed that belt, taking a 16.8%
stake in Mt Carbine owner EQ Resources (ASX: EQR)
Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX:L1M) | Investor Presentation | 12
WARBY TUNGSTEN- HIGH GRADE POTENTIAL
High grade tungsten confirmed across a 2km corridor 3.
• 100% owned, sitting in North
Queensland's O'Briens Creek
Supersuite, a recognised tin-tungsten
province
• Rock chips assayed up to 5% W, with
10 of 14 samples above 1% W
• Mineralisation found in quartz veins,
altered granite and greisen, pointing to
a system bigger than the veins alone
• Phase 2 mapping and sampling
complete, assays due August 2026
• Results will shape Phase 3 targeting,
including where to drill first

WARBY TUNGSTEN
Early exploration indicates a potential wolframite vein swarm with significant potential.
• Quartz wolframite vein swarm associated with granite
apophyses near contact with batholith size granite intrusive
- classic setting for significant size quartz-wolframite vein
type deposits.
• Early exploration consists of two small phases of rock chip
sampling and HMC* drainage mapping over a small area,
with newly discovered veins and artisanal workings.
• Griesen sub-crop suggests potential for deeper griesen
hosted W mineralised system.
• Large 2km long zone of clay alteration associated with the
Warby Ring Dyke prospective for epithermal precious metal
mineralisation.
• Zone of interest includes Tungsten, as well as Gold
alteration potential.
• Further exploration activities are planned for Q3 with
additional airborne, geological and geophysical data.
* Heavy Metals Concentrate (HMC)
