Flynn Gold Managing Director and CEO, Neil Marston, commented:
“Following the announcement of a successful $2.6 million placement to new and existing
investors in late February 2025, the Company has re-commenced diamond drilling at its flagship
Golden Ridge Project.
“In November 2024 we announced a maiden Exploration Target for parts of the Golden Ridge
Project. The aim of this next drilling phase is to increase our confidence in the geological model
at the Trafalgar prospect and upgrade part of the Exploration Target to an inferred resource.
“With gold prices recording highs in excess of US$3,000/oz this week, it’s an exciting time to be
back drilling an advanced project for our team and shareholders.”

Trafalgar Prospect - Phase 4 Drilling
Phase 4 drilling has commenced at the Golden Ridge Project.
The first hole, TFDD021, is underway to a planned depth of 130m and is designed to test for
western extensions of mineralised veins intersected in 2024 at the Trafalgar North prospect in
drill-holes TFDD019 and TFDD020 (see Figure 2). The next hole in the program, TFDD022,
with a planned depth of 200m, is designed to test for eastern extensions of the same mineralised
veins at Trafalgar North.

The balance of the 2,000-metre diamond drill program will comprise in-fill and extensional
drilling targeting down-dip and along-strike extensions to previously drilled high-grade gold
intercepts at the Trafalgar prospect.
Details of these drill-hole locations will be provided in updates during the program.
Golden Ridge – Project Background
The Company’s flagship Golden Ridge Project is situated within EL17/2018 in Northeast
Tasmania (see Figure 1).
Exploration by the Company at Golden Ridge has identified extensive intrusive-related type gold
mineralisation (IRGS) extending over a 9km-long zone along the southern contact margin of the
Golden Ridge Granodiorite and enclosing metasediments (see Figure 3).
The Company’s ongoing work at Golden Ridge is continuing to identify and test multiple targets,
increasing confidence in known areas of high-grade mineralisation and confirming the potential
for Golden Ridge to be a large-scale gold discovery.

About Tasmania
Tasmania is a globally recognised hub for mining and exploration, renowned for its rich geological
diversity and accessible, high-grade mineral deposits. With a long history of prosperous mining
activity, it is regarded as one of the most mineralised places on the planet. The mining and mineral
processing industries contribute significantly to the State’s economy, accounting for over 60% of
Tasmania’s export earnings, valued at nearly $3 billion annually, and supporting approximately
6,800 jobs.
The state currently hosts 14 significant mining operations, including the Savage River magnetite
mine, the Henty gold mine, the Renison tin mine and Rosebery polymetallic base metal mine –
some of the longest continuously operating mines in Australia. The proximity of mining and mineral
processing sites to ports – most are within 100 kilometres – facilitates access to global distribution
channels, supported by world-class infrastructure and efficient transport networks.
Tasmania is also a global leader in sustainable operations, generating 100% renewable energy.
With a target of achieving 200% renewable energy by 2040, the State is an attractive destination
for environmentally conscious investors and businesses aiming to achieve genuine sustainability
targets. This commitment to sustainability aligns with Tasmania’s competitive edge as a forwardthinking mining destination. The State’s workforce is stable, flexible, and innovative, with high
retention rates and a strong industrial relations framework, enhancing its appeal for long-term
mining projects.
Despite its rich resources, Tasmania remains relatively under-explored compared to other
Australian states, presenting significant potential for new mineral discoveries. The Tasmanian
Government has recently launched its Critical Minerals Strategy, focusing on increasing
exploration, supporting critical minerals projects, promoting on-island processing and value-adding,
and expanding the State’s trade and investment footprint in critical minerals.
Government initiatives such as the Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI) provide financial
support to greenfield exploration by co-funding drilling projects. These programs, administered by
Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT), are complemented by state-of-the-art geo-scientific data and
a strong legislative framework that supports exploration and development.
Combining geological richness, sustainability credentials, strategic infrastructure, and robust
government support, Tasmania offers a compelling destination for mining and exploration
companies. Its untapped potential and forward-thinking approach position it as a leader in the
development of the next generation of mining projects.
