The image shows grades greater than 20g/t AgEq2 (red barrels) plotted down hole, with recent drilling extending known mineralisation to a strike of at least 210m.
Sulphide-hematite-quartz-carbonate breccia that forms part of the broad mineralised interval in YQ-26-018. This interval graded 0.74m at 572g/t Ag & 10.0g/t Au from 354.64m.
Gavilanes Silver Project
High grade silver mineralisation (black) from previous drill hole SCHN-008, grading 876g/t Ag.
- 100%-owned Gavilanes Silver Project
- Maiden diamond drilling program underway, targeting up to 4,500m across 15 to 18 holes
- Program designed to test depth and strike extensions to the existing high grade system
- Foreign Estimate: 22.4Moz AgEq @ 246g/t AgEq
- Previous drilling returned shallow, high grade silver intersections including 6.3m at 2,016g/t Ag from 77.2m and 3.3m at 2,540g/t Ag from 109.8m
- Results expected to support planned Gavilanes JORC Resource upgrade later in 2026
Diamond rig set up at the site of Advance’s first drill hole at the Gavilanes Project in Durango, Mexico.
- 13,500 hectares across 11 mining concessions
- Existing Foreign Estimate of 22.4Moz AgEq at 246g/t AgEq
- Previous drilling defines high grade silver mineralisation over a north-south trend of more than 700m
- High grade system remains open at depth and along strike in multiple directions
- Initial program expected to include up to 4,500m of diamond drilling across 15 to 18 holes
- First drill hole, GV-26-001, has commenced and is targeting down-dip mineralisation west of SCHN-12
- Priority targets include extensions to the main Gavilanes system, plus El Nopal, La Cruz and La Tuna
- Historic unassayed core identified for sampling as a low-cost data generation workstream

Guadalupe Y Calvo Gold-Silver
Project
A transformational, district-scale gold and silver asset in the Sierra Madre Occidental, strategically located between Yoquivo and Gavilanes.
GyC hosts an NI 43-101 Foreign Estimate of 816koz AuEq (60.6Moz AgEq), including high-grade underground resources of 494koz AuEq at 5.0g/t AuEq. With historic production exceeding 2Moz gold and 31Moz silver and more than 86,000m of drilling completed, mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, providing strong resource growth potential.
- Guadalupe y Calvo Gold-Silver Project located 300km WSW of the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua State, Mexico
- Consists ten mining concessions totalling ~27.5km²
- Current Indicated and Inferred NI43-101 Foreign Estimate containing 60.6Moz AgEq at 198g/t AgEq
- High grade underground component of Foreign Estimate of 36.6Moz at 373g/t AgEq
- Extensive modern exploration and drilling in the region
Mapped veining at the Guadalupe y Calvo Project
- Over 190 years of mining since discovery in 1835
- 2Moz gold, 31Moz silver mined in historic production from British/North American companies pre-WWII
- Modern exploration began in early 2000s with 86,000m of core drilling by previous operators
- Recent programs have defined a 600 x 550 metre mineralised panel on the Rosario structure, with mineralisation open along strike and down dip
- Multiple vein systems beyond Rosario-Nankin area

Myrtleford and Beaufort
Projects
Strategically located in the heart of Australia’s Victorian Goldfields, a region renowned for producing over 80Moz of gold.
- AVM to move to 100% ownership of the high-grade Myrtleford and Beaufort Gold Projects following strong drilling and gravity gold recovery results at Happy Valley
- Amended agreement secures 100% ownership for total consideration of C$4.0 million, staged over three years in shares or cash at AVM’s discretion
- Initial metallurgical testwork at Happy Valley returned excellent gravity gold recoveries of up to 96%, supporting potential low-cost processing options
- Recent drilling at Happy Valley returned further high-grade intercepts, including 1m at 22.3g/t Au, including 0.2m at 108.5g/t Au
- High-grade gold mineralisation at Happy Valley has now been shown to extend to at least 500m below surface and remains open
- Regional exploration has commenced across Myrtleford and Beaufort, including mapping and rock chip sampling of selected historic workings
- No modern drilling has been completed across the 16km Magpie-Barwidgee trend, presenting a significant opportunity to test for additional high-grade gold deposits
- Next steps include pending assays, 3D geological and structural modelling, maiden drill target generation and further drilling subject to modelling outcomes
Myrtleford and Beaufort projects are situated in the Victorian Goldfields region, host to one of the highest-grade gold deposits globally.
Visible gold intersected at depth; system extended to >500m vertically and remains open.
