Principal activities
The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are the acquisition, exploration and development of
commercially significant mineral resource projects in Chile, with a focus on gold. Tesoro currently holds interests in
the El Zorro Gold Project, located in Chile.
Operating results
The net loss after tax and non-controlling interest, attributable to the Group for the financial half-year ended 30 June
2026, amounted to A$2,411,923 (6 months to 30 June 2025: net loss after tax of A$2,156,534).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Tesoro is focused on exploration and development of the El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro or the Project) in the
Coastal Cordillera region of Chile. El Zorro is proximate to well established infrastructure and is 140km from the city
of Copiapó and approximately 800km north of the Chilean capital, Santiago (refer Figure 1).
During the six months ended 30 June 2026 (Half-Year), Tesoro continued to advance El Zorro, with activities
focused on progressing Ternera towards development while continuing to pursue near-deposit drill exploration in
combination with district-scale, new-discovery exploration programmes.
During the Half-Year the Board decided to advance Ternera directly to a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). The
decision followed completion of a structured programme of technical trade-off studies across the principal mining,
processing, infrastructure and development disciplines to mature El Zorro from Scoping Study-level evaluation to
detailed project definition and execution planning.
Resource-definition drilling, metallurgical and geotechnical programmes and critical DFS workstreams progressed
through the Half-Year. At 30 June 2026, the Ternera infill drilling programme was nearing completion, all
metallurgical testwork drill holes had been completed and geotechnical drilling was materially advanced. Engineering
and study activities were also progressing across mining, processing, tailings, infrastructure, environmental
approvals, financing and project execution planning.
Alongside these development-focused activities, extensional drilling continued to test the Ternera mineralised
system beyond the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), while airborne geophysics, soil geochemistry and
geological interpretation advanced a pipeline of regional exploration targets across the broader El Zorro concession
holding.

EL ZORRO GOLD PROJECT
The El Zorro Gold Project is located in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile, in a position surrounded by all the
requisite ingredients to support a new gold mining and processing operation. The Project concessions are 95.4%
owned through Tesoro's 95%-owned Chilean subsidiary, Tesoro Mining Chile SpA.
Figure 1: Tesoro’s El Zorro Gold Project, Chile. Located in the Coastal Cordillera region, home to numerous operating mines and
processing facilities.
El Zorro hosts the Ternera Gold Deposit, which as at 30 June 2026, has an open-pit constrained MRE of
approximately 51.2Mt at 1.10g/t Au for 1.816Moz of gold, comprising:
• 31.8Mt at 1.10g/t Au for 1,123koz in the Indicated category; and
• 19.5Mt at 1.11g/t Au for 692koz in the Inferred category.
The MRE is constrained within an optimised open-pit shell based on a US$3,000/oz gold price, 0.30 g/t cut-off and
94.5% process recovery (refer to Table 1).
Subsequent to Half-Year end, on 27 August 2026, the Company announced an updated Ternera MRE of 51.6Mt at
1.10g/t Au for 1.82Moz, including 1.47Moz in the Measured and Indicated categories. Refer to Events Subsequent
to the End of the Half-Year below.
Approximately 38,000m of fully funded diamond drilling across three programmes remain ongoing at El Zorro:
• infill drilling to increase confidence in the existing Ternera MRE and support an updated MRE, maiden Ore
Reserve and DFS mine planning (completed subsequent to Half-Year end);

Ternera Infill and Resource-definition Drilling
The Ternera infill drilling programme was designed to increase drill density through the existing Ternera MRE,
particularly within the proposed open-pit area, and improve confidence in the geometry and grade distribution
throughout the deposit.
The work and associated geological information is intended to support the planned conversion of portions of the
Mineral Resource to the Measured and Indicated categories, providing the basis for an updated MRE, and maiden
Ore Reserve to enable DFS-level mine planning.
Five diamond drill rigs were operating at Ternera by early February 2026, increasing to six rigs by the end of March.
The programme was subsequently expanded and completed, providing the necessary drill density required for the
planned resource classification upgrade.
By 15 June 2026, 76 infill holes totalling 25,210m had been completed, with assays received and reported for 60
holes. At Half-Year end, five final infill holes remained to be drilled and assays for a further 16 holes were pending
and subsequently confirmed as complete on 1 July 2026.
Infill Drilling Results
Infill drilling returned multiple broad and locally high-grade gold intercepts within the existing Ternera mineralised
system, supporting the interpreted continuity and predictability of mineralisation within the deposit.
Significant results reported during the March quarter included:
• 2.94m at 17.74g/t Au from 286.12m in ZDDH0424, and
• 21.00m at 1.44g/t Au from 385.00m in ZDDH0424, including:

5.95m at 3.35g/t Au from 395.05m
Results have been incorporated into the geological database for the updated Ternera MRE and associated DFS
workstreams.
Extensional Drilling Results
Extensional drilling tested the continuation of the Ternera mineralised system beyond the limits of the current MRE
boundary. Extensional drilling returned outstanding grades of over 27g/t Au from new depth extensions
approximately 200 vertical metres below the 2025 Scoping Study open pit shell.
The two deep holes, ZDDH0409 and ZDDH0411, were drilled from positions approximately 300m to 400m south-
east of the existing MRE to test the interpreted down-plunge continuation of the mineralised system. Both holes
intersected broad zones of anomalous gold mineralisation and higher-grade intervals in the targeted position.
Significant results included:
• 8.84m at 3.54g/t Au from 576.00m in ZDDH0411, including:
1.00m at 27.70g/t Au from 576.00m
• 7.09m at 1.31g/t Au from 670.45m in ZDDH0409, including:
0.54m at 9.89g/t Au from 677.00m.
Drilling also tested the northern margin of the MRE, where ZDDH0398B returned 4.26m at 3.40g/t Au from 217.45m,
including 0.68m at 19.45g/t Au.
Collectively, the results demonstrated the continuation of gold mineralisation outside the existing open-pit
constrained MRE and defined additional opportunities for near-deposit resource growth drilling.
District-scale Exploration and Target Generation
Regional exploration continued throughout the Half-Year to expand and mature the pipeline of drill targets beyond
Ternera. Activities included high-resolution helicopter flown magnetic and radiometric surveying, systematic soil
geochemistry programmes and geological interpretation with results integrated with historical and recent exploration
datasets.
Helicopter-borne Geophysical Survey
New-Sense Geophysics Limited completed a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic and gamma-ray
spectrometric survey across approximately 610km² of the El Zorro concession area. The survey, which commenced
in late December 2025, comprised 200m-spaced regional flight lines and a higher-resolution area surveyed at 100m
line spacing. Approximately 4,880.5 line-kilometres were flown.
Resource Potentials Pty Ltd completed final processing and imaging of the magnetic and radiometric datasets, with
preliminary interpretation identifying several structural trends considered prospective for gold mineralisation,
together with multiple intrusive occurrences and interpreted tonalite dyke systems.

Directors’ Report
30 June 2026
Page | 8
The survey outlined a north-south structural corridor associated with gold anomalism extending for more than 40km,
increasing the interpreted extent of the El Zorro Gold Corridor by approximately 10km. The datasets were integrated
with geological and geochemical information to support target prioritisation and future drilling.
Soil Geochemistry
Systematic orientation soil-sampling programmes were completed at La Brea, Drone Hill and Pena Blanca, with a
total of 331 soil samples collected on nominal 50m by 50m grids across areas where previous surface sampling had
identified prospective gold mineralisation. Samples were analysed for low-level gold and 47 multi-element indicators.
All three target areas returned low-level gold anomalism coincident with arsenic and bismuth anomalism, together
with geochemical indications of potassic alteration. The anomalies corresponded with mapped mineralised
structures and prospective host lithologies and were used to refine targets for follow-up exploration.
At La Brea, the results indicated potential extensions to the previously defined target area to the north-west and
south-east. At Drone Hill, the soil anomaly coincided with areas of previous high-grade drilling. At Pena Blanca,
sampling identified gold anomalism within a broader alteration zone coincident with previously reported surface
mineralisation.
Further soil sampling and geological work were planned across additional targets as part of the district-scale
exploration programme.
Transition to Near-Deposit Growth and New Discovery Drilling
During the first half of CY2026, the majority of drill rig capacity was directed towards resource definition and DFS-
related drilling. As these programmes advanced, preparations commenced for the transition of drilling to near-deposit
resource growth and regional new discovery opportunities.
Ternera East and Drone Hill are the two priority targets for the next phase of activity, with the northern and southern
extensions of Ternera, La Brea and Pena Blanca also scheduled for drilling. Figures 3 and 4 outline the current
target location and drill priority levels.

Definitive Feasibility Study
Following completion of the September 2025 Scoping Study, Tesoro undertook a detailed programme of technical
trade-off studies to define the preferred development configuration for Ternera. The programme considered the
principal technical and infrastructure components of the Project, including:
• process flowsheet selection and optimisation;
• mine and plant configuration;
• site layout;
• power and water infrastructure corridors;
• tailings disposal;
• seismic design parameters; and
• integration of mining, processing and supporting infrastructure.
The trade-off studies defined a preferred development pathway based on a single open-pit mining operation and a
proposed 3.0Mtpa processing plant.
On 25 February 2026, following review of the completed trade-off work, the Board resolved to advance directly to
DFS. The level of technical definition achieved across the principal engineering disciplines was considered sufficient
to proceed to DFS-level evaluation without completing a separate Pre-Feasibility Study.
On 1 July 2026 (subsequent to the end of the Half-Year), Tesoro provided an update on DFS and development-
readiness activities at El Zorro, outlining that all principal DFS workstreams were underway or materially advanced
across engineering, mining, processing, infrastructure, permitting, financing and execution planning.

Development Team and In-Country Presence
Tesoro expanded its development and execution team, strengthened its in-country capability and established a new
office in Chile as a dedicated operating base.
The expanded in-country presence is intended to support DFS coordination, permitting, stakeholder and government
engagement, consultant coordination, infrastructure planning, logistics, pre-construction planning and preparation
for future project execution.
STRACON Alliance Framework
Tesoro Mining Chile SpA entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with STRACON Chile SpA to establish an
alliance-style framework for El Zorro. The proposed framework is intended to provide continuity and alignment across
potential pre-construction, construction and operating phases.
STRACON is an integrated, engineering-led and technology-enabled mining infrastructure and services group
operating across the Americas. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, STRACON provides end-to-end solutions
across the mining lifecycle, including engineering and technology solutions and industrial services.
Metallurgy and Process Design
Additional metallurgical drill holes were completed to obtain representative material from within the proposed Ternera
open pit for physical ore characterisation and variability testing. All metallurgical testwork drill holes had been
completed by period end.
Process development built on earlier testwork supporting a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) processing route. The
DFS process design is based on a proposed nominal 3.0Mtpa processing plant.
GR Engineering Services was engaged to undertake process engineering and design and integrate the metallurgical
results into plant design, equipment selection, capital cost estimation and operating cost modelling.
Figure 5: Proposed El Zorro CIP Flowsheet
Geotechnical, Mining and Mine Design
Open-pit geotechnical drilling progressed in parallel with the resource-definition and metallurgical programmes. The
programme was designed to provide the information required to refine pit-wall design parameters and slope-stability
assumptions for DFS-level mine planning.
Mine design, production scheduling and mining cost studies also advanced during the Half-Year. STRACON
provided mining study and cost inputs, with Peter O'Bryan and Associates contributing geotechnical expertise.
The information generated through the infill and geotechnical drilling programmes will be integrated into the updated
MRE, maiden Ore Reserve and DFS mine design.

Tailings, Civil and Site Infrastructure
Technical studies identified dry-stack tailings as the preferred tailings-management configuration for continued DFS
evaluation. Engineering work progressed across tailings, civil works, site layout and associated infrastructure,
progressed in parallel to support refinement of the proposed development schedule and capital and operating cost
estimates.
Figure 6: Proposed El Zorro Site Layout
Power and Water Infrastructure
Engineering design and cost estimation for grid power, process water, site layout and associated infrastructure was
materially advanced. Tesoro submitted a connection authorisation request to the Chilean National Electricity
Coordinator for a 21MW electrical connection to El Zorro, supporting the proposed high-voltage power line from
Totoralillo to the Project.

Environmental Studies and Permitting
Environmental baseline and permitting activities progressed and were approximately 75% complete at 1 July 2026.
At the date of this report baseline environmental surveys have now been completed.
On completion the baseline environmental surveys and permitting engineering works, Tesoro intends to prepare and
submit environmental impact assessment documentation to Chile's Environmental Impact Assessment System.
Baseline programmes are designed to provide the environmental information required to prepare the environmental
impact assessment documentation and support the subsequent approvals process for construction and operation of
the Project.
Project Financing and Development Planning
BurnVoir Corporate Finance Limited was appointed as financial adviser to assist Tesoro in developing an optimised
project funding strategy and arranging prospective debt facilities for El Zorro.
Financing activities progressed in parallel with the DFS, enabling potential funding structures to be assessed against
progressively refined capital requirements, construction schedules and development parameters.
Institutional Investor and Analyst Site Tour
In January 2026, Tesoro participated in an institutional investor and analyst site tour in Chile together with Rio2
Limited and Flagship Minerals Limited.
Participants visited El Zorro, Fenix and Pantanillo and met the respective project teams. The programme provided
direct exposure to the projects, regional infrastructure and the Chilean permitting and mining environment and
included engagement with government representatives, Australian trade representatives and Chilean mining-
industry bodies.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE HALF-YEAR
On 20 August 2026, final assay results were reported from the 80-hole >27,000m infill drilling programme completed
at Ternera. Multiple thick, high-grade gold intercepts were returned from the final 17 holes, with notable results that
included:
• 10.00m at 6.14g/t Au from 14.00m in ZDDH0461, including:
3.25m at 15.96g/t Au from 16.49m
• 96.40m at 0.86g/t Au from 351.00m in ZDDH0464, including:
37.54m at 1.50g/t Au from 409.06m
• 60.50m at 1.01g/t Au from 197.00m in ZDDH0466, including:
18.22m at 2.55g/t Au from 209.80m
• 34.05m at 1.56g/t Au from 331.00m in ZDDH0467, including:
6.14m at 5.78g/t Au from 331.86m
• 9.21m at 5.76g/t Au from 370.59m in ZDDH0468
• 51.63m at 1.23g/t Au from 328.77m in ZDDH0471 and:
25.00m at 1.55g/t Au from 444.00m
• 101.00m at 1.12 g/t Au from 320.00m in ZDDH0475 including:
8.35m at 3.50g/t Au from 323.65m, and
20.00m at 2.37g/t Au from 367.00m
Subsequent to the end of the Half-Year, on 27 August 2026, Tesoro announced an updated Mineral Resource
Estimate for the Ternera Gold Deposit at the El Zorro Gold Project.
The updated Mineral Resource comprises 51.6Mt at 1.10g/t Au for 1.82Moz of contained gold, reported at a 0.30g/t
Au cut-off grade and constrained within a US$3,500/oz optimised open-pit shell.
The update materially increased confidence in the Ternera Mineral Resource, with 1.47Moz, representing
approximately 78% of total contained gold, classified as Measured and Indicated. Measured and Indicated
Resources increased by approximately 348koz compared with the August 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate,
including the definition of a Measured Mineral Resource component for the first time.
The increase in higher-confidence Mineral Resources followed completion of the approximately 27,000m infill drilling
programme and provides the basis for calculation of a maiden Ore Reserve and ongoing mine planning for Ternera.
The unconstrained Mineral Resource increased to 1.93Moz at 1.07g/t Au. Ternera remains open in multiple
directions, with drilling continuing across extensional Mineral Resource growth targets and broader new-discovery
