CHAIR LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
FY26 was an important year for Kalgoorlie Gold Mining as we continued to build our understanding of the broader
potential of the Pinjin Gold Project and advance our Lighthorse discovery.
Systematic and disciplined execution of our exploration strategy also enabled us to direct investment towards targets
demonstrating the greatest potential, while continuing to build and test our broader pipeline of exploration
opportunities. This approach remains central to how we allocate shareholders’ capital and progressively advance our
projects.
At Lighthorse, drilling significantly advanced our understanding of the scale and geological setting of the mineralised
system, with primary gold mineralisation confirmed over more than 1.1 km of strike and remaining open to the north.
At Kirgella Gift and Providence, deeper drilling demonstrated that gold mineralisation extends below the base of the
existing Mineral Resource. At the same time, we continued first-pass programs across Pinjin, systematically testing
earlier-stage targets and building our pipeline for future programs.
The scale of this pipeline is important. To date, only around 10% of the conceptual targets generated by KalGold
across Pinjin have been drill tested, with initial work delivering Lighthorse, Kirgella West, Providence South and
Wessex. The Operations Review provides considerably more detail on this work, what we have learned from it and
how our understanding is informing the next phase of KalGold’s exploration.
Importantly, exploration discipline has been matched by disciplined capital management. During the year, KalGold
invested $2.76 million directly in exploration and evaluation activities, while shareholder option conversions provided
approximately $2.4 million in additional funding. Together with our discovery cost of less than A$5 per ounce across
our existing 214,300-ounce Mineral Resource inventory, this reflects our continued focus on directing capital towards
exploration while maintaining a lean corporate structure.
More recently, we also further strengthened our financial position through a $3.4 million capital raising, comprising a
$2.3 million placement and a $1.1 million fully underwritten, 1-for-10 pro-rata entitlement offer. The strong demand
received for the placement, which resulted in the Company accepting oversubscriptions, was particularly encouraging.
Together, the placement and fully underwritten entitlement offer put KalGold in a strong position to accelerate
exploration at Pinjin and systematically advance the substantial pipeline of opportunities generated from our work to
date.
We have also continued to strengthen the foundations from which we can progress our projects. Since year end,
KalGold executed a comprehensive Heritage Protection Agreement with the Kakarra Aboriginal Corporation covering
both the Pinjin and Bulong Taurus Gold Projects. This important agreement provides a framework to protect Kakarra
heritage while supporting future exploration across our tenure. Importantly, the agreement represents a significant
step towards returning to the ground at La Mascotte to progress further work around the existing 137,900-ounce
Mineral Resource. During FY26, we also added the Central Yandal Gold Project to our portfolio at low cost, providing
an additional early-stage exploration opportunity while maintaining Pinjin as our clear strategic priority.
Our priorities are clear. We will continue to build our understanding of Lighthorse and the broader Pinjin gold system,
progress Kirgella Gift and Providence, follow up results from the LTZ Flexure and systematically test the next
generation of targets across the project. We will continue to apply the same discipline to capital allocation that we
apply to exploration, advancing opportunities on the strength of evidence and directing capital to those areas where
we believe it can create the greatest value for shareholders.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Matt and the KalGold team for their commitment and hard work throughout the year.
I also thank my fellow Director and our shareholders for their support and confidence in KalGold.
We enter FY27 with a significantly expanded understanding of Pinjin, a substantial pipeline of exploration
opportunities and the financial capacity to pursue them with greater intensity.
I look forward to the year ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Pauline Gately
Non-Executive Chair

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The 2025/2026 financial year (FY26) saw Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd (ASX: KAL) (KalGold or the Company)
significantly advance its flagship Pinjin Gold Project, 140 km east-north-east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (Figure 1).
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling confirmed that the Lighthorse discovery is underlain by a primary orogenic gold
system extending over more than 1,100 m of strike and remaining open to the north. The Company’s first
diamond drilling program at Kirgella Gift and Providence extended known gold mineralisation to approximately
300 m vertical depth, some 160 m below the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) envelope. By year end,
KalGold broadened its exploration activities to include the LTZ (Laverton Tectonic Zone) Flexure and acquired
a new project in the highly mineralised Yandal Greenstone Belt.
Figure 1 – Project locations in Western Australia, showing proximity of the Pinjin and Bulong Taurus
projects to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. (Perspective Google Earth imagery overlain by project
details).
Key highlights for FY26 include:
● At the Pinjin Gold Project (Figure 2), primary orogenic gold mineralisation was confirmed in fresh rock at
Lighthorse over more than 1,100 m of strike. It is associated with shearing, alteration, sulphides and
veining logged in intervals up to 35 m thick and is open to the north.
○ Near-surface gold anomalism at Lighthorse was extended to 1,450 m of continuous strike, with
lower-level anomalism continuing a further 500 m north. It is part of a 6 km corridor of gold
mineralisation and anomalism running from T12 in the north to T15 in the south and is open in both
directions.
○ Gold mineralisation correlates directly with a Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) magnetometric
conductivity ridge, providing KalGold with a geophysical proxy for primary gold mineralisation
beneath transported cover across the Pinjin Project.

● First diamond drilling at Kirgella Gift and Providence (four holes, 1,154.6 m, co-funded by the Western
Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme) returned 28 m at 2.24 g/t Au from 92 m
(KGDD25004), including 8.5 m at 3.21 g/t Au and 9 m at 2.82 g/t Au, and confirmed gold mineralisation to
approximately 300 m vertical depth, around 160 m below the current MRE. Gold mineralisation remains
open at depth.
○ An unrecognised set of north–south trending, east-dipping structures identified in diamond core
explains local offsets in mineralisation. This improved geological understanding will inform the design
of the next phase of deep drilling.
● Ongoing first-pass drilling of Company-generated gold targets in poorly tested to untested areas are
focused on the LTZ Flexure target. Centred 3.5 km south-east of Kirgella Gift–Providence, with heritage
clearance secured in cooperation with the Kakarra people, a first-pass aircore drill program comprised
225 holes for 7,212 m. Results are pending. Further first-pass targets are scheduled for testing.
● Acquisition of the Central Yandal Gold Project (Figure 2), comprising 15 tenements over 23.7 km² in the
Yandal Greenstone Belt, directly along strike from the Gourdis and Vause gold mines and within the
district hosting Jundee and Bronzewing.
● Total JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource maintained at 214,300 ounces of gold, at an
industry-leading discovery cost of A$4.57 per ounce.
● A comprehensive Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) was negotiated and executed with the Kakarra
Aboriginal Corporation (KAC), providing a framework to protect Kakarra heritage while supporting
KalGold’s work programs at the Pinjin and Bulong Taurus Gold Projects.
With numerous drill programs completed during the year, the scale of the tenement holding and of the gold
targets being tested mean that the Pinjin Project remains at an early stage. Only around 10-15% of the
conceptual targets generated by the Company have been drill tested to date, with Lighthorse, Kirgella West,
Providence South and Wessex among the initial targets tested. The opportunity ahead for KalGold at Pinjin is
correspondingly large.
Company total gold resource
KalGold’s total JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource was unchanged during the year at 214,300
ounces of gold (Table 1). No new Mineral Resource estimate was reported during the period. Work commenced
in the December 2025 quarter on an updated estimate for the La Mascotte deposit at Bulong Taurus, and RC
drilling completed at Kirgella Gift and Providence in the June 2026 quarter was designed to support a future
resource update; assays from that program remained pending at year end.
The Company’s gold resource inventory is either outcropping or within metres of surface. At both Pinjin
(Kirgella Gift, Providence) and Bulong Taurus (La Mascotte), overall gold grades exceed 1.0 g/t Au, with both
projects containing zones of higher-grade, near-surface gold mineralisation that may be amenable to open pit
mining. KalGold’s discovery cost of under A$5 per ounce across its two Mineral Resource estimates places it
among the most cost-effective explorers on the ASX.
Table 1 – KalGold total JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource as at 30 June 2026. Kirgella Gift and Providence
reported at a 0.5 g/t Au cutoff, while La Mascotte is at a 0.6 g/t Au cutoff. Totals may not sum exactly due to rounding.

Pinjin Gold Project
The Pinjin Gold Project is KalGold’s flagship
exploration asset. Located approximately 140 km
north-east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder along the well-
maintained, all-weather Kalpini-Pinjin Road, it
covers a substantial portion of the southern LTZ
(Figure 3). The LTZ is a crustal-scale shear
corridor hosting for more than 30 million ounces
of gold endowment from across world-class
operations such as Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith
and Wallaby. KalGold’s tenure sits approximately
20–25 km north along strike of the LTZ from
Ramelius Resources’ (ASX: RMS) Rebecca
Gold Project.
The project hosts a JORC Code (2012) Inferred
Mineral Resource of 2.34 Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for
76,400 oz at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off at the Kirgella
Gift and Providence deposits, from only 3 m
depth. KalGold holds a 75% interest in the
tenements hosting Kirgella Gift, Providence,
Lighthorse and Wessex following completion of
its farm-in in May 2025, and 100% of the
substantially larger surrounding tenement
package.
During the year, the Company advanced multiple
exploration fronts in parallel: extending and
confirming the Lighthorse gold system, testing
Wessex and Providence South, completing first
diamond drilling and a follow-up RC program at
Kirgella Gift and Providence, and commencing
first-pass drilling at LTZ Flexure greenfields
target. KalGold considers the scale and
distribution of gold mineralisation defined to date
to be consistent with a previously
unrecognised gold camp hidden beneath
cover within the Company’s tenure at Pinjin, the
full extent of which has not yet been defined.
Systematic exploration for success
KalGold applies a disciplined, staged exploration
methodology designed to convert conceptual
targets into Mineral Resources at the lowest
possible cost per ounce. The same six steps
described in last year’s report are typical of those
used by large gold mining and exploration
companies, and continued to govern exploration
activity throughout FY2026:
1. Target generation — reinterpretation of
regional geology and geophysics to define
drill targets. Around 10% of generated
targets have been tested to date.
2. First-pass aircore testing — widely
spaced, low-cost aircore drilling to detect
near-surface gold mineralisation and
anomalism beneath transported cover.
Figure 3 – KalGold’s Pinjin Project in the southern part of the
crustal-scale, gold-mineralising LTZ. The LTZ is responsible
for over 30 million ounces of gold production from world-class
operations including Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith and
Wallaby. Its southern portion is highly prospective and under-
explored, with KalGold’s tenure occupying a key flexure in the
structure. Projection GDA94 MGA Zone 51.

3. Follow-up aircore drilling — to define the full extent of the near-surface footprint.
4. RC confirmation — first-pass, widely spaced RC drilling to confirm primary gold mineralisation in fresh
rock beneath the near-surface expression.
5. RC follow-up and drill-out — tighter-spaced and deeper drilling to define the geometry, continuity and
orientation of gold mineralisation to a standard capable of supporting a resource estimate.
6. Diamond Drilling (DD) follow-up and drill-out — strategically placed diamond core holes to provide key
structural, lithological, alteration, assay and geotechnical, data to better understand the controls on gold
mineralisation and rock mass characteristics to assist with eventual mine design.
7. Define a JORC Code (2012) Mineral Resource — enabling the deposit to be modelled for mining
scenarios.
The value of the method is visible in where each prospect (Figure 4) now sits. Lighthorse advanced from Step
4 to Step 5 during the year, with primary gold mineralisation confirmed along more than 1,100 m of strike and
infill and extensional drilling undertaken. Kirgella Gift and Providence, already at Step 6, moved into resource
growth with diamond and RC drilling aimed at extending the deposits at depth and along strike. Wessex
completed Step 4 and was deprioritised on the results. The LTZ Flexure entered Step 2 with a first-pass aircore
program. Around 90% of the Company’s generated targets remain at Step 1 with further targets continuing to
be generated as KalGold’s understanding of the Pinjin Project develops.

Lighthorse: a primary orogenic gold system confirmed
Lighthorse (Figure 4) was KalGold’s principal focus for most of the
year. Discovered in early 2025 by first-pass aircore drilling, the
prospect entered FY26 with a 600 m footprint of confirmed primary
gold mineralisation and a headline discovery intercept of 17 m at
4.81 g/t Au from 48 m to end of hole (KGAC24152). By the end of
FY26, it had been shown to be part of a coherent, multi-kilometre
orogenic gold system, with the results from higher-resolution drilling
after the reporting period defining high-grade gold mineralisation and
new targets in the north. Lighthorse will remain a major focus in
FY27.
Expanded near-surface footprint from aircore drilling
Initial RC drilling in 2025 (ASX: KAL 15/4/2025) confirmed the
Lighthorse discovery over a limited area with primary gold
mineralisation in every drill hole (Figure 7). The program
demonstrated that gold mineralisation extended beyond the footprint
of the initial programs. With this information, the Company returned
to first-pass aircore testing in undrilled areas to the north and south
to further define the footprint of gold mineralisation and anomalism
at Lighthorse.
Results from Lighthorse’s expanded second aircore program were
received early in the September 2025 quarter. The 99-hole, 4,710 m
program averaged 47 m depth and used lines spaced 160–200 m
apart with 80 m centres. It defined strong, continuous gold
mineralisation and anomalism over 1,450 m, with lower-level
anomalism extending a further 500 m north to the program limit. This
more than doubled the Lighthorse gold footprint and identified a
second mineralised centre about 800 m north of the original
discovery section.
The program defined laterally extensive oxide-zone gold anomalism
across the drilled sections. Thick intercepts ending in mineralisation
indicated the potential for broader, higher-grade primary zones
below and became priority targets for the subsequent RC program.
Combining KalGold’s results with historic datasets indicates near-
continuous gold mineralisation and anomalism along the entire 6 km
Lighthorse corridor defined to date, from Newmont’s historic T12
target in the north through Lighthorse, Kirgella Gift and Providence
to T15 in the south (Figure 5). Where available, multi-element
pathfinder geochemistry shows trends consistent with the gold
anomalism. The program’s south-eastern extent also returned broad
enrichment in the pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony near
previously defined anomalism at Providence South.
RC drilling confirms primary gold mineralisation over 1,100 m of strike
In September 2025, a follow-up program comprising 50 RC holes for
approximately 6,200 m commenced across the Lighthorse (Figure
6), Wessex and Providence South prospec
