Monument Announces First 16 Drill Hole Results Of Selinsing Mine Expansion Drilling Program

Executive Summary

• Monument Mining released assay results for the first 16 of 27 completed drill holes in its Buffalo Reef/Felda and Selinsing mine‑expansion programs.
• High‑grade gold intercepts were reported, including up to 6.33 g/t Au over 5 m (MBRDD601) and 4.79 g/t Au over 7 m (MBRDD601).
• The company budgeted US$2.5 million to finish the expansion drilling by June 2026, with final assay results expected by that date, potentially supporting a larger open‑pit design and extended mine life.

Key Details

• Drill Program Scope – 118 holes total (109 at Buffalo Reef/Felda, 9 at Selinsing) for 17,477 m of drilling. Stage 1: 73 holes (10,365 m); Stage 2: 36 holes (5,012 m).
• Completed to Date – 27 holes (2,952 m) finished; assay results received for 16 holes, 11 pending.
• Significant Assay Intercepts (Buffalo Reef/Felda)
• MBRRC579: 22 m @ 0.86 g/t Au from 2 m (incl. 1 m @ 1.41 g/t Au) and 6 m @ 1.9 g/t Au from 8 m.
• MBRRCDD01: 5 m @ 2.01 g/t Au & 0.47% Sb from 149 m; 1 m @ 1.14 g/t Au & 0.20% Sb from 160 m.
• MBRDD600: 4 m @ 3.42 g/t Au & 0.49% Sb from 55 m.
• MBRDD601: 7 m @ 4.79 g/t Au & 0.61% Sb from 43 m (includes 5 m @ 6.33 g/t Au & 0.79% Sb from 45 m).
• MBRDD602: 3 m @ 1.82 g/t Au & 0.61% Sb from 22 m; 8 m @ 2.17 g/t Au & 0.30% Sb from 26 m.
• MBRDD611: 3 m @ 4.66 g/t Au & 1.28% Sb from 6.9 m.
• Selinsing Program – Planned 9 holes (2,100 m) split into Stage 1 (3 holes, 480 m) and Stage 2 (6 holes, 1,620 m). Focus on depth and strike extensions of known gold structures.
• Budget & Timeline – US$2.5 million allocated; drilling to be completed by March 2026, final assay results by June 2026; resource update targeted for October 2026.
• Operational Updates – Two additional diamond rigs added in November 2025 (total 4 rigs). Half‑core sampling with PQ/HQ diamonds; QA/QC includes CRM every ~15 m and blanks every ~10 m. Samples shipped weekly to SGS Malaysia for fire assay, ICP, and carbon/sulphur analysis.
• Forward Outlook – Positive intercepts may enable pit expansion at Buffalo Reef/Felda and inform future LOM planning; resource model refinement ongoing.
