FAR EAST GOLD ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 1
DRILLING COMMENCED AT MOUNT CLARK WEST
COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
Far East Gold Limited (ASX: FEG) (“FEG” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that
drilling has officially commenced at the Mount Clark West (MCW) Copper-Gold Project in
central Queensland following the signing of the Conduct and Compensation Agreement (CCA)
and engagement of Eagle Drilling NQ Pty Ltd.
This program marks the second phase of drilling at Mount Clark West and represents the
culmination of FEG’s strategy to confirm the large-scale porphyry copper-gold potential of
the project.
Program Highlights
• Drilling commenced on 6 November 2025 with one rig now on site testing targets defined
from MIMDAS geophysics, geochemistry and structural mapping undertaken by FEG.
• Historical Drill Program: A 4 hole drill program was completed by Medusa Mining MML in
2019. The program intersected 104 m at 0.1 % Cu (incl. 14 m at 0.23 % Cu), from 114m
including 14 m at 0.23% Cu from 180 m in hole MCDD002 (Figure 2). The intersection
occurred within altered volcanics which FEG has interpreted as the outer edge of a porphyry
system. Refer to ASX Announcement 25 August 2022.
• FEG Drill Program: Initial 1,800m (3-hole) program of combined RC and diamond drilling is
planned to test the interpreted porphyry targets. An additional fourth hole will be considered
as follow up if warranted.
CEO Comment – Shane Menere
“This drilling marks a major step forward for Far East Gold’s Australian portfolio. The rig is now
turning at Mount Clark West. In the first scout program, there’s compelling evidence that we
clipped the edge of what we believe to be a large porphyry copper-gold system. Those early
results, combined with more recent geophysics, geochemistry and sampling, have now
allowed FEG to pinpoint a new, higher-priority target inside the tenement which we couldn’t
previously access until the CCA was in place.”
“Everything we’ve learned points to a mineralized system beneath surface. The MIMDAS
geophysical signatures, copper-molybdenum anomalies and alteration mapping all line up to
suggest we’re drilling closer to the heart of a porphyry system this time around.”
“Every metre drilled from here will tell us more about the scale of this system. The goal couldn’t
be clearer: to prove Mount Clark West has the potential to host a significant copper-gold
discovery in Queensland.”

About the Mount Clark West Project
The Mount Clark West Copper-Gold Project (EPM 26008) covers 1,912ha located 24km north
of Nebo, Queensland, within the highly prospective Connors Arc volcanic belt. The area hosts
multiple Tier-1 deposits along strike, including Mt Carlton and Cracow. FEG believes the
magnetic and geochemical signatures at MCW reflect a cluster of porphyry bodies, each with
the potential to host copper-gold mineralization.
Figure 1 – Image shows the location of the Mt. Clarke West (MCW) and Hill 212 tenements
held by FEG. MCW is situated within Carboniferous volcanic rocks of the Connors Arc.
Overlying Bowen Basin Permo-Triassic sediments occur to the west. The occurrence of
significant epithermal Au-Ag deposits further west within the Drummond Basin are also shown.

chargeability anomalies. image base shows Cu-in-soil geochemistry. The locations of
planned (PDH) and previous drill holes (MCDD001-004) completed by Medusa are indicated.
The first FEG hole is located at site MCDD007. Image shows the occurrence of 3
interpreted porphyry centers reflected by low magnetics. The planned holes will test
coincident magnetic and MIMDAS anomalies peripheral to the interpreted porphyry centers
for potential Cu-Au-Mo mineralisation. Survey coordinates conform to the GDA 94, MGA 55
survey datum.
