Key Projects
Yalgoo Property
Tempest’s largely unexplored and 100-percent-owned Yalgoo property covers more than 1,000 square kilometres and is highly prospective for gold, base metals and iron with world-class potential. It is located four hours from Perth, close to major infrastructure and adjacent to world-class mines, including Golden Grove, Deflector, Mt Gibson, Minjar, Rothsay and Mt Mulgine.
The Remorse Target is a 5 km long exploration target where TEM completed an initial 4,005 meters of drilling in 2024 and identified a significant magnetite iron-ore deposit. The target also remains highly prospective for base metals.
Tempest also has a number of compelling exploration targets across the 1,000 sq km project including the Sanity target which is highly prospective for gold, with rock chip samples returning 7 grams per ton (g/t) gold, 0.2 percent copper, and more than 60 percent iron.
Mt Magnet
The 100-percent owned Mt Magnet project spans more than 20 square kilometres located within a world-class mining district and is 5 kilometres from a processing facility. A prolific mining destination with at least 6 million ounces of gold produced to date, the project is surrounded by multiple large-scale gold mines currently in operations, including Ramelius’ (ASX:RMS) Mt Magnet operations and Spartan’s (ASX:SPR) Dalgaranga. The project contains multiple drill targets, of which Wrangler will be a key focus of near-term work.
Elephant
The Elephant project is a 194 square kilometre property in the prolific Fraser Range region with large geological structures and multi-million-ounce targets. The project area itself has strong magnetic anomalies and an 8-kilometre gold in soil geochemical anomaly which could represent a large subsurface gold system.
Five Wheels
The 100-percent owned, 266-square-kilometre Five Wheels project is geologically similar to Rumble Resources’ zinc-lead-copper discoveries and sits within the boundaries of the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia, a mineralised sedimentary basin. A major geophysics program is planned for the project, co-funded by the government.

Harvest Gold Identifies 15 Primary And 10 Secondary Targets For Its Diamond Drill Program At Its Mosseau Project In Quebec
The planned 5,000 metre diamond drill program will focus on testing near-surface gold targets in two key areas of the property, the northern and central areas. (Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4). Both of these areas host similar geological, geophysical and structural features:
The more known northern area hosts numerous gold showings that remain open along strike and at depth.
The central area, and particularly the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor, has seen very limited historical exploration and was the focus of Harvest’s 2024 field work.
The drill targets have been developed through a detailed review and integration of:
- Historical showings
- Previous exploration work, including Induced Polarization and geological mapping surveys
- High-resolution airborne magnetic surveys
- Prospecting and reconnaissance mapping
- Soil sampling program
These exploration efforts have highlighted fifteen high-priority targets that can host significant gold mineralization. The planned drill program will also be the first systematic testing of the central area of Mosseau and is the beginning of unlocking the mineral potential of the Mosseau Project.

Limo Butte Geology & Antimony Summary
A review of historical geochemical and drilling data at the Limousine Butte Project has identified multiple areas with strong gold-antimony potential. These zones correlate closely with outcrops of the Devonian Pilot Shale, the primary host rock for Carlin-type gold mineralization in the area. Positive gold grade at Limousine Butte is typically associated with silicification and the formation of jasperoid breccias within the Pilot Shale, an alteration feature also observed in the positive antimony results.
Through the Project data review, the Company uncovered reports detailing two small-scale historic mining operations at the Nevada Antimony Mine and Lage Antimony Prospect within the Limo Butte Project boundary. The Nevada Antimony Mine featured two prospect pits that extracted stibnite (formula: Sb2S3) from a hydrothermal breccia. The Lage Antimony Prospect reported historical unverified sampling results with up to 14.46% Antimony with additional prospect pits extracting antimony.
Historical geochemical rock chip sampling within the past-producing Golden Butte pit from a Brigham Young University (“BYU”) Thesis study produced numerous results that exceeded 1% antimony in jasperoid breccias (see Figure 1). Several results were greater than 5% antimony, including a sample of 9.6% antimony with visible stibnite and stibiconite. BYU Thesis Report

US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025
The Company is pleased to report the recent, sweeping Executive Order to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply. Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important “Critical Mineral” in the United States essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, yet no domestically mined supply currently exists.
The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (“US”) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will "identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals." Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a "dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments" under the Development Finance Corporation ("DFC").
This decisive action by the US Government highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects.
Importance of Antimony
Antimony is considered a “Critical Mineral” by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). “Critical Minerals” are metals and non-metals essential to the economy and national security. Antimony is utilized in all manners of military applications, including the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and production, tritium production, flares, military clothing, and communication equipment. Other uses include technology (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electric switches, fluorescent lighting, high quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.
Globally, approximately 90% of the world’s current antimony supply is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Beginning on September 15, 2024, China, which is responsible for nearly half of all global mined antimony output and dominates global refinement and processing, announced that it will restrict antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to the United States citing its dual military and civilian uses, which further exacerbated global supply chain concerns. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) has designated antimony as a “Critical Mineral” due to its importance in national security, and governments are now prioritizing domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Projects exploring antimony sources in North America play a key role in addressing these challenges.
Perpetua Resources Corp. (“Perpetua”, NASDAQ:PPTA, TSX:PPTA) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua’s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold’s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus projects. Positive advancements at Stibnite including the technical development and permitting has led to US$75 million in Department of Defense (“DOD”) awards, and over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (“US EXIM”) (see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024) (Perpetua Resources. (2025))

- 26m at 7.90 g/t Au from 444.0m, including 13.3m at 13.39 g/t Au in KDD055
- 10.5m at 16.72 g/t Au from 427.5m, including 2.0m at 84.68 g/t Au in KDD059
- Shallow Reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Central Zone near KRC3312 positively extends this high-grade shoot with significant intercepts, including:
- 16m at 2.96 g/t Au from 198m, including 6m at 6.18 g/t Au in KRC389
- 28m at 3.44 g/t Au from 192m, including 8m at 8.40 g/t Au in KRC396
- Infill drilling for shallow resource conversion at NW and Northern Zones confirm the strong continuity in gold mineralisation, including the following intercepts:
- 21m at 1.50 g/t Au from 82.9m in KDD062
- 23m at 1.69 g/t Au from 208.0m in KDD063
- 45m at 1.13 g/t Au from 66m in KRC371
- 28m at 1.06 g/t Au from 127m in KRC373
- 20m at 1.13 g/t Au from 51m in KRC375
- None of the drilling results of the high-grade zone beneath the pit shell, the high-grade shoot (both in the Central Zone), or infill drilling at NW or Northern Zones, are included in the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) – an updated MRE is expected in the coming weeks
- Drilling continues with one RC rig and three DD rigs at Kokoseb
Commenting on the results, Wia Executive Chairman, Josef El-Raghy, said:
“Kokoseb continues to show consistency in gold mineralisation at depth and along strike, with some excellent results from within and outside of the current pit shell outline. The accelerated drilling programme, with three DD rigs targeting the high-grade shoots at depth, and one RC rig focussing on infill drilling to improve our understanding of the current 2.12m oz Au resource, is bearing fruit with results to be included in the updated MRE due in the next few weeks.”
