Juno Project - Successful Execution of Heritage Agreement
Key Highlights

GEO Exploration Limited (LSE AIM: GEO) is pleased to announce that its wholly
owned subsidiary Juno Gold Pty Ltd (Juno Gold) has successfully executed a
Heritage Agreement covering the Juno Project licences. The Juno Project is
located in central Western Australia where the company is conducting
exploration for large Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) which host
precious and base metal mineralisation.
A Heritage Agreement has been executed by Traditional Owners Nharnuwangga
Wajarri and Ngarlawangga represented by the Jidi Jidi Aboriginal Corporation
(Jidi Jidi) and GEO's wholly owned subsidiary Juno Gold. The Heritage
Agreement is designed to ensure that Aboriginal Sites are not damaged or
disturbed and that Country is respected and protected.
The agreement provides a framework for Juno Gold and Jidi Jidi to work
collaboratively where advanced exploration activities are undertaken. The
Heritage Agreement covers early-stage exploration work through to orebody
development activities allowing appropriate discussions between all
stakeholders at various stages of exploration workflow.
The agreement is in place for the term of the licences, and can be amended by
mutual agreement if required. The framework allows appropriate consultation
between parties and ensures site clearances are carried out where required.
The agreement allows open discussion between the parties with an appropriate
information exchange at regular intervals.
The Heritage Agreement also allows GEO to meet its obligations to Government
Authorities when carrying out advanced exploration activities. Reporting of
activities and appropriate consultation with Traditional Owners is supported
by documentation preserving security for all stakeholders.
Callum Baxter, GEO's joint venture partner commented:
"I am pleased we have successfully negotiated and executed a Heritage
Agreement with Traditional Owners for the Juno project. It allows consultation
and open discussion covering our exploration activities through to orebody
development and is in place for the terms of the licences. We look forward to
working collaboratively with the Traditional Owners."
Azib Khan, CCO of Geo Exploration Limited, commented:
"I would like to thank the Nharnuwangga Wajarri and Ngarlawangga people as
well as the Jidi Jidi Aboriginal Corporation for their constructive engagement
and trust, and we look forward to a long-term partnership that creates value
for all stakeholders while protecting country.
Executing the Heritage Agreement is a significant milestone for GEO and for
the Juno Project. With this clear and collaborative framework in place, we aim
to accelerate our work program whilst continuing to meet the highest
environmental and cultural-heritage standards."
