Key Geophysical Programs and Pre-Drilling Earthworks
Underway at the Kuro Manganese Discovery
Induced Polarisation and gravity geophysical surveying now underway, with Traditional Owners
supervising pre-drill earthworks at Kuro ahead of the drill rig arriving shortly
Highlights
• Geophysical surveying has now commenced at the Kuro Manganese Discovery, with:
o Moombarriga Geoscience undertaking Induced Polarisation surveying; and
o Atlas Geophysics undertaking extensional ground gravity surveying, with co-funding
through the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme.
• Pre-drill earthworks are underway at Kuro under the supervision of Traditional Owner monitors.
• Drilling at Kuro is due to commence early June with construction of access tracks and drill pads
underway, and Precision Exploration Drilling’s RC rig expected to arrive on site shortly.

Further to its announcement of 22 May 2026, Trek Metals Limited (ASX: TKM) (“Trek” or the
“Company”) is pleased to advise that detailed geophysical surveying and pre-drilling earthworks are
now underway at the Kuro manganese discovery, at the 100%-owned Christmas Creek Manganese
and Gold Project in WA’s Kimberley region.

manganese mineralisation.
Trek Metals CEO, Derek Marshall, said:
“The start of ground gravity and Induced Polarisation geophysical surveys marks an important step in
the next phase of exploration at our high-grade Kuro manganese discovery. With pre-drill earthworks
now underway and Precision Exploration Drilling’s RC rig expected to arrive shortly, we are rapidly
advancing towards maiden drill testing of this exciting target.
“Previous rock chip sampling completed late last year indicated that IP surveying may be an effective
tool for detecting sub-surface manganese mineralisation. The program has commenced with Gradient
Array surveying and will progress to deeper penetrating Dipole-Dipole surveys, which we expect will
enhance drill targeting ahead of the upcoming drilling campaign.
“The ground gravity survey extends the highly successful program completed last year, which identified
interpreted extensions to the high-grade manganese mineral system discovered at Kuro. Given the high
density of manganese mineralisation and limited surface exposure, we expect the new data to become
an increasingly valuable targeting tool as exploration advances.
“The gravity surveying is being co-funded by the Government of Western Australia through the
Exploration Incentive Scheme, and we would like to thank the government for their ongoing support
of exploration in Western Australia.
“With drilling set to commence shortly, we look forward to providing investors with further updates as
we move through this exciting phase of exploration.”
