("GEO " or the "Company")
Juno Project - Results of Geophysical Modelling
Key Highlights
- Integrated 3-D magnetic-and-gravity modelling has refined an IRGS style
target and places the top of the primary body approximately 600m below
surface
- Unconstrained and forward models converge on a single, coherent footprint
spanning roughly 4 km × 2 km, confirming the system's large scale
- Historic hole PHD001 stopped just short of the newly modelled body,
highlighting immediate drill potential
- Ground-based electrical geophysics starts next with data to allow
finalisation of drillhole locations ahead of Juno's maiden drilling programme
in the coming months
GEO Exploration Limited (LSE AIM: GEO) is pleased to announce positive results
of geophysical modelling at its Juno project. 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.
Between late 2024 and early 2025, the Company collected airborne geophysical
and ground-gravity data at the Juno Project; results were announced on 16
January 2025 (RNS) and showed a significant gravity response at Juno, aligning
with a prominent magnetic feature, covering an area of 4km x 2km. This
alignment (coincident response) is a typical signature of IRGS style
mineralisation.
The detailed magnetic and gravity data sets have recently been further
integrated and modelled to refine IRGS type mineralisation targets with
accurate 3D spatial definition. Encouraging results have been achieved from
independent unconstrained and forward modelling techniques demonstrating the
large size of the target and robust data set.
Unconstrained 3D Modelling confirms the alignment of magnetic and gravity
modelled bodies (Figure 1), and that the size of the modelled bodies is large,
covering a footprint of approximately 4km x 2km. These results are consistent
with preliminary reviews completed in early 2025.
Forward Modelling of the detailed magnetic and gravity data sets was carried
out independently during April and May 2025. This modelling technique is the
same used for the Havieron IRGS deposit (+8Moz gold equivalent) prior to
drilling of discovery holes during 2018. Results of forward modelling at Juno
define a chain of contiguous bodies over a strike of several kilometres
(Figure 2) which are considered the primary target.

and gravity model bodies
Model bodies from Forward Modelling sit tightly within the envelope of the
Unconstrained Model bodies. That is, the output of the two independent
modelling techniques are aligned, providing a high degree of confidence in the
output.
A very good fit for magnetic and gravity data was seen in the Forward
Modelling model body profiles (Figure 3). Depth to top of primary target
modelled bodies is approximately 600m below surface showing that a historic
deep drillhole (PHD001) was terminated just short of the primary target
despite showing proximal alteration and sulphide mineralisation suggesting
'close to source'.

The Company is using an IRGS exploration model seeking to locate precious and
base metal mineralisation, similar to that at the Havieron and Telfer deposits
in northern Western Australia. Activities at Juno to date include recently
announced aeromagnetics, lidar, ground gravity, and unconstrained and forward
modelling of data.
Ongoing work at Juno will include ground based electrical geophysical surveys
to detect subsurface conductive material. Models derived from the exploration
data sets will enable enhanced targeting of drillholes in advance of the
Company's initial drilling programme at Juno.
Callum Baxter, Geo's joint venture partner commented:
"It is very pleasing that modelling has provided excellent results in our
targeting efforts for IRGS style mineralisation at Juno. The detailed data
sets recently collected have allowed the generation of robust 3D models which
demonstrate the large size of the Juno target. I look forward to the imminent
start of ground electrical geophysics furthering our collaborative efforts at
Juno."
Omar Ahmad, CEO of Geo Exploration Limited, commented:
"These integrated modelling results deliver exactly what we hoped for: a
coherent, large-scale target validated by two independent techniques. We have
always had high conviction in both the Juno asset and the world class team
driving it forward. We are moving swiftly into ground IP and EM to enhance
drillhole targets and are scheduled to commence our first drilling at Juno in
the coming months. This is a very exciting time for Geo and our aim is deliver
a significant valuation uplift through our portfolio of projects."
