This drilling update marks a key milestone in RAP’s systematic exploration strategyfollowing the transformative acquisition of Raptor Resources Limited and reinstatement Managing Director Brett Wallace commented: “We are thrilled with the early visual results from the first two holes, which align with ourexpectations for unlocking Chester's upside. Theseintersections validate our resourcebase and reaffirm our confidence in the potential at hand in one of the world's premier Chester Diamond Drill Program A diamond drill program is underway to cover approximately 2,200 metres andfocuseson validating and improving the existing data of the current JORC-compliant MRE. •Validatehistorical assay data within the MRE to enhance resourceconfidence•Collect samples for metallurgical testing to assess processing options and Based on visual estimatesof mineral abundance during geological logging, the drillinghas intersected zones of significant copper sulphide mineralisation (Table 2) that occur Processing of diamond core from initial holes CDH001 and CDH002 iscontinuing, withcore photography, cutting andsampling to be completedand samplessubmitted for In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation included in Table 1, the Company cautions that the information isbased solely on visualinspection of the core which is yet to be assayed. The presence of copper and zinc is supportedby in-field portable XRF but is considered indicative only and subordinate to laboratory assays. Laboratory assay results The program is leveraging modern exploration techniques in this prolificmining district.Chesterbenefits from excellent infrastructure,including year-round road access, Chester Project Background The Chester Project is located in northern New Brunswick,Canada(figure 7),the projectis located within the Bathurst Mining Centre,which has produced over 180 million tonnesofbase metal ore from VMS deposits.The project hosts high-grade copper-zincmineralisationand remains open along strike and at depth,offering significantexploration potential. Historical drilling (figure 1) has intersected substantial copper- Chester offers immediate exploration upside through targeted drilling to expand theresource and test parallel horizons. The Chester Project hosts a JORC (2012) compliant The Company will provide further updates as the program progresses. NextSteps •Complete processing of HQ diamond core holes CHD001 & CDH002•Complete diamond drilling program•Submit HQ diamond core samples for assaying•Submit PQ diamond core samples for metallurgical testing•Carry out downhole time domainelectromagnetic (TDEM or TEM) survey The Company's new website ishttps://raptormetals.com.au/ This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors.
