Manna Hill Project Exploration Update

 

Drilling programme extended based on observations for primary mineralisation
(copper, gold, molybdenum)

 

Cobra (https://cobraplc.com/) (LSE: COBR)
(https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/COBR/cobra-resources-plc/company-page)
, a South Australian mineral exploration and development company, is pleased
to announce that, based on visual observations of drill cuttings, it has
decided to immediately extend its Stage 1 Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill
programme at the Manna Hill Copper Project by up to a further five drillholes.

 

Highlights:

 

·    13 drillholes completed to date, totalling 2,300m where:

 

o  Visible sulphides and alteration support broad zones of primary
mineralisation beneath and along strike of defined oxide mineralisation.

o  Visible primary copper and molybdenum mineralisation occurs proximal to
porphyry type quartz monzonite and diorite intrusions, that have been
intersected in multiple drillholes and mapped at scale beyond defined
mineralisation at Blue Rose.

o  Seven of 13 drillholes completed to date display visual signs of copper
oxide and sulphides or molybdenite

o  Broad alteration zones support the thesis for a large-scale porphyry
system.

 

·    The programme will be increased by up to a further five drillholes
based on observations for primary mineralisation and to gain further
geological and geochemical detail of the greater porphyry system.

 

·    Drilling is expected to be completed by next week, with first assays
anticipated in March.

 

Cobra has a 12-month option to acquire the Manna Hill Project and will focus
initially on the Blue Rose priority prospect ("Blue Rose") where existing
drilling has intersected copper-gold mineralisation across 1.6km of strike
immediately adjacent to a geophysical anomaly interpretated as a porphyry
intrusion(1).

Cautionary Statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be
considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations
or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also
potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious
physical properties relevant to valuations. A summary log of visual estimates
of mineralisation for drill holes MHRC0001 - MHRC0013 is provided in Table 1
below.

 

Rupert Verco, Managing Director of Cobra, commented:

 

"Whilst visual observations are not results, the geological observations being
made from this drilling programme to date are encouraging for a scalable
copper discovery.

 

The team, along with Bullion drilling, has done an exceptional job battling
challenging conditions and we are grateful for the perseverance and
professionalism that they have shown to overcome extreme temperatures."

 

Further details concerning drilling progress

 

The Blue Rose Prospect is of skarn-replacement type where previous exploration
has defined copper-gold-molybdenum across 1.6 km of continuous strike where
drilling has defined the previous intersections:

 

o   RABR822  47m at 2.2% Cu and 0.76 g.t Au from 11m

o   RCBR025  132m at 0.52% Cu from 8m including 48m at 1.04% Cu

o   RABR152  41m at 1.6% Cu from 9m including 18m at 2.03% Cu

o   RABR205  43m at 0.6% Cu from 12m

o   RCBR030  52m at 0.77% Cu and 0.94 g/t Au from 80m

o   RABR198  24m at 1.0% Cu from 18m incl. 3m @ 1.23g/t Au

o   RCBR021  23m at 1.4% Cu from 73m incl. 12m @ 0.71g/t Au

 

Geophysics including gravity, induced polarisation and magnetics have been
used in collaboration with geochemistry to refine the interpretation of both
the stratigraphic unit hosting shallow skarn mineralisation, and porphyry
mineralisation that is interpreted to envelop a remnant magnetised intrusion.
Whilst past exploration has intersected quartz monzonite intrusions proximal
to skarn mineralisation, their relationship and influence on mineralisation is
not clearly understood. This RC programme has generated the first pXRF
multi-element dataset that has enabled Cobra and its consultants to assess the
geochemistry of the system and evaluate the data in the context of a porphyry
setting.

 

Observations from completed drilling support depth continuities of shallow
mineralisation whilst also defining key indicators for mineralisation control
and system continuity. As a result, up to five additional holes will be
drilled to further test for scale and for potassic porphyry mineralisation.

visual observations of oxide and sulphide mineralisation below previous
drilling and intersected intrusions relative to mineralisation within
drillhole MHRC0003.

 

 

Key points:

 

·    Several holes contain chemistry that indicates that alteration and
mineralisation are proximal to, or within a potassic zone (Figure 4).

·    Potassic (biotite and K-feldspar) alteration occurs proximal to
intersected intrusions. This alteration is associated with copper sulphides
and molybdenite.

·    Intrusions (quartz monzonite, diorite and dacites) have been
identified at surface, well beyond the strike of Blue Rose mineralisation
where copper mineralisation is apparent at surface along with strong
nontronite (after sulphide) alteration (Figures 5 and 6).

·    Dyke swarms are important within porphyry systems and understanding
the geochronology sequence and their enrichment potential is an important
process for identifying the structures that host the highest-grade
mineralisation.

·    At the completion of drilling, geochemistry will enable alteration
modelling and porphyry vectoring.

About the Manna Hill Project

 

The Manna Hill Project (the "Project") represents South Australia's premier
porphyry prospect in the state that holds around 70% of Australia's copper
reserves. The project is comprised of multiple early stage porphyry and skarn
prospects.

 

The project also includes the Luron Carlin style gold prospect and multiple
historic goldfields where over 30koz Au were reported to have been produced.
This style of mineralisation remains underexplored and highly prospective.

 

The Project sits along the national railway and Barrier Highway between the
mining hub of Broken Hill, the port and base metals smelter and Port Pirie and
the City of Adelaide.

About Cobra

 

Cobra Resources is a South Australian critical minerals developer, advancing
assets at all stages of the pre-production pathway.

 

In 2023, Cobra identified the Boland ionic rare earth discovery at its Wudinna
Project in the Gawler Craton - Australia's only rare earth project suitable
for in situ recovery (ISR) mining. ISR is a low-cost, low-disturbance
extraction method that eliminates the need for excavation, positioning Boland
to achieve bottom-quartile recovery costs.

 

In 2025, Cobra further expanded its portfolio by optioning the Manna Hill
Copper Project in the Nackara Arc, South Australia. The project contains
multiple underexplored prospects with strong potential to deliver large-scale
copper discoveries.

 

In 2025, Cobra sold its Wudinna Gold Assets to Barton Gold (ASX: BDG) for up
to A$15 million in cash and shares.
