Castle Minerals Limited: Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2024
Castle Minerals Limited (“Castle” and/or “the Company”) is fortunate to have two flagship projects, the
Wa Gold Project and the Kambale Graphite Project, both of which are located in Ghana’s Upper West
Region and which were materially advanced during the December 2024 Quarter.
These two projects provide exposure to two commodities with strong, long term market fundamentals.
They are at relatively early stages in their evaluation and development which is traditionally where a
greater uplift in value for the Company and its shareholders can be achieved.
GHANA
Africa comprises 54 countries and like Europe (44 countries) each country has varied levels of
democracy, stability, economic well-being and jurisdictional risk. Ghana operates a Westminster system
of government and British common law based justice system. Ghana is demonstrably one of Africa’s
most politically stable democracies. Presidential elections held on 7 December 2024 have been followed
by a smooth transition to a new presidency lead by President John Dramani Mahama which is viewed as
highly supportive of the country’s mining industry and business development in general.
West Africa is one of the world’s premier regions to be exploring for gold, delivering an enviable fifteen
discoveries of over two million ounces each since 2012. Ghana’s “new frontier” northern region is now
considered one of the most prospective areas to make discoveries in the region.
Notable more recent project successes in Northern Ghana include the newly commissioned 5.1Moz
Namdini gold deposit discovered by Cardinal Resources Limited prior to its takeover in 2020 and the
Azumah Resources Limited owned 2.8Moz Black Volta Gold Project (“BVGP”) which is earmarked for
development in 2025. Namdini lies on the same Bole-Bolgatanga Birimian greenstone belt as Kandia
and the BVGP’s Julie deposit is immediately along strike of the Kandia mineralised trend.

Castle Minerals Limited: Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2024
WA GOLD PROJECT
Castle’s 2,686km2 Wa Gold Project in Ghana’s Upper West Region is held by its wholly owned Ghanaian
subsidiary, Carlie Mining Limited. It encompasses large tracts of highly prospective Birimian geological
terrane, the host to many of West Africa’s and Ghana’s multi-million-ounce gold mines.
Over the years Castle’s extensive tenure has been systematically evaluated with less prospective areas
progressively relinquished. This process continues and has enabled the Company to focus down on
areas with the highest ranked levels of geological prospectivity. The Kpali and Kandia sub-project areas
are two of these.
Mineralisation has been confirmed by Castle at both prospects which are largely obscured by generally
shallow soils and alluvium. Combined with several nearby “high conviction” prospects, The Wa Gold
Project provides a large and highly prospective “search base” presenting an enormous opportunity to
establish a new West African mining camp.
December 2024 RC drilling campaign completed
Post quarter end Castle completed a 12-hole, 1,505m RC drilling campaign at the Kpali and Kandia gold
prospects. Results from four holes at Kandia were reported on 28 January 2025 with the eight holes at
Kpali expected to be reported in early-February 2025. All holes were designed to extend high-grade
mineralised zones at both prospects as part of Castle’s aspiration to delineate an initial combined 1.0Moz
of gold resources across a cluster of prospects.
Kandia Gold Prospect
The opportunity at the Kandia prospect is to delineate in Birimian sediments a substantial, shallow depth,
bulk tonnage of gold mineralisation associated with a 16km southwest-trending prospective sheared
contact with an adjacent regional-scale granodiorite intrusion.
Following extensive wide-spaced reconnaissance geochemical sampling, subsequent drilling of
anomalies has delineated mineralisation over two particular zones, the “4000” and “8000” for which a
combined maiden 2012 JORC Mineral Resource of 92,700oz (grading 1.0g/t Au (comprising 1.772Mt at
1.0g/t Au for 57,700oz Indicated and 1.006Mt at 1.1g/t Au for 34,900oz Inferred) was estimated for the
4,000-Zone and the 8,000-Zone, 4km to the north-east (refer ASX release 2 July 2014 titled
‘Maiden Resource Estimate for the Kpali Gold Prospect’). This has provided a focus for the recent work.
Results from the recent four-hole, 582m RC drilling campaign successfully confirmed continuity of
mineralisation and extended this to greater depth.
All four holes intersected mineralisation with two returning some of the best intercepts in the Kandia
prospect area to date including 7m at 3.36g/t Au from 149m within 24m at 1.78g/t Au from 139m
(24KARC002) and 5m at 3.49g/t Au from 82m within 11m at 2.36g/t Au from 79m (24KARC004).
Grade and width of mineralisation appear to be increasing with depth (24KARC002) along with an
increase in dip and the likelihood of a north-trending plunge. Combined, these provide for more focused
targeting that was not available in previous rounds of drilling.
Drilling was confined to the “4,000-Zone” where mineralisation has previously been confirmed over a
strike of ~850m. Sporadic artisanal (galamsay) mining occurs within and around the 4,000-Zone with
new workings appearing more recently along the prospective contact i.e. the “8,000-Zone”, providing an
additional confirmation of the presence of mineralisation.
The Company is not aware of any material changes in the status of the historical information
reported in this release.
Kpali Gold Project and Kpali Gold Prospect
A compelling driver for exploring the Kpali Gold Project is its location at the convergence of two major
greenstone belts (Bole-Bolgatanga and Wa-Lawra/Boromo) and three regional-scale structures that are
all associated with major gold deposits.
The subsequent confirmation by Castle of gold mineralisation at the Kpali Gold Project (which comprises
the Kpali, Kpali East, Bundi and Wa South prospects) confirms its high-level prospectivity.

Castle Minerals Limited: Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2024
Wide-spaced reconnaissance geochemical sampling followed by a series of RAB, aircore and RC drilling
programmes confirmed primary mineralisation associated with several robust gold anomalies at the Kpali
prospect and at the Bundi prospect, 5km to the north
At the Kpali prospect, a ~30m to 50m wide zone of structural deformation hosts hydrothermal lode-style
mineralisation over a combined strike of at least 850m. Mineralisation has been confirmed to a depth of
at least 100m where it remains open.
Mineralisation is hosted in Birimian metasediments adjacent to a local granodiorite intrusion. This is a
similar geological setting to that hosting several world-class gold mining operations in the immediate
region and across Ghana and West Africa generally.
An RC drilling programme completed in September 2024 focused on the Kpali and Kpali East prospects
and was designed to better understand the controls on and distribution of mineralisation, especially
higher grade material (ASX release 17 September 2024).
A summary of intercepts from historical and recent drill intercepts at Kpali appears in Figure 5 (also refer
to relevant ASX releases in Table: Previously Reported Information Relating to this Release).

Next steps at the Wa Gold Project
Results from the just completed drill programmes at the Kandia and Kpali gold prospects will be carefully
evaluated when all to hand. Subject to those results being favourable, further RC drilling campaigns will
be undertaken at these prospects and at several of the other high conviction targets at the Wa Gold
Project still to be fully tested.

KAMBALE GRAPHITE PROJECT
Castle is advancing its 100% owned Kambale Graphite Project (“Project” or “Kambale”), held through its
wholly owned Ghanaian subsidiary, Kambale Graphite limited. This is to coincide with a forecast increase
in demand for, and looming supply deficit of, natural fine flake graphite concentrates and Battery Anode
Material (“BAM”).
Natural fine flake graphite concentrates with specifications meeting industry requirements can be sold
as-is or can be processed into much higher value products for use in the manufacture of electric vehicle
(“EV”) batteries, stationary power storage units, consumer electronic products and a range of specialist
industrial applications.
The global shift to renewable energy generation goes hand-in-hand with the need for power storage
systems which are dominated by lithium-ion batteries of which graphite is the largest mineral component.
There is increasing pressure by western manufactures to establish non-China graphite supply chains.
During the Quarter Castle executed a landmark indicative non-binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) with
Ghana’s Mineral Income Investment Fund (“MIIF”) for a combined investment of US$2.0M (~A$3.0M) to
advance the Kambale Graphite Project. This proposed transformational deal will fund the Project through
to a pre-feasibility study that will evaluate the production of specialist natural graphite concentrates and
value-added products used in the manufacture of lithium-ion battery anodes for electric vehicles and
energy storage.
The Term Sheet, sets out a framework for:
1. A Castle Share Investment Agreement whereby MIIF will:
a) subscribe for US$500,000 (~A$750,000) of new ordinary shares in Castle at an issue price
of A$0.0045 each and providing it with approximately 9.99% of Castle’s expanded issued
capital. The shares will be escrowed for 12 months;
Page 6 of 11
Castle Minerals Limited: Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2024
b)
c)
be issued one new unlisted option for each two Castle shares subscribed for. Each option
shall have an exercise price of A$0.0075 and may be exercised between 12 to 24 months
from the date of issue; and
have the right to nominate a non-executive director to the Castle Board.
2. A KGL Share Subscription & Shareholder Agreement whereby MIIF will:
d) invest USD$1.5 million for new shares in the capital of KGL for a contributing equity interest
that is subject to independent valuation and negotiation;
e) have the right to nominate a non-executive director to the KGL board;
f) have a preferential right to commit additional funds during the pre-development and
development stages to acquire up to a 50% total project interest; and
g) have a preferential right to purchase up to a maximum of 50% of the final graphite product
processed in-country on industry standard terms and on an arms’ length competitive basis.
Conditions precedent for the investments include, amongst other things, completion of full form
agreements, completion of due diligence to MIIF’s satisfaction (a site visit has already been undertaken),
approvals by the Castle Board, FIRB and Castle shareholder approvals (if required) and the appointment
of a suitably qualified and experienced Ghanaian CEO to KGL.
The Parties have also agreed to:
•
•
actively pursue a listing of the Company or KGL on the Ghana Stock Exchange within two years of
commercial operations of the Kambale Graphite Project;
implement strategies aimed at fostering the development and growth of local capacity and
competence, including a minimum ninety per cent (90%) in-country management and technical team
plus, where feasible, to maintain a one hundred per cent (100%) in-country procurement level.
The process of formalising the provisions of the Term Sheet has been advanced with various key
agreements drafted for consideration. However, the momentum has slowed during the lead up to and
post recent Presidential elections and with the expectation that key decision makers at MIIF will most
likely be replaced with new appointees.
Of particular note is that the Government of Ghana is actively evaluating the establishment of Africa’s
first Sub-Saharan battery manufacturing facility utilising in-country sources of lithium, manganese and
graphite. The presence of several vehicle assembly plants, reliable grid power and excellent
infrastructure, including two international ports, underpins this aspiration. The Kambale Graphite Project
is Ghana’s only deposit of commercial scale.

Polelle and Wanganui Gold Projects
Post the end of the December 2024 Quarter, Castle and Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR)
renegotiated the Heads of Agreement enabling GBR to acquire a 75% interest in and jointly explore the
Polelle and Wanganui Projects near Meekatharra.
Page 7 of 11
Castle Minerals Limited: Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2024
Initial exploration by GBR, including regional mapping and assessment of previous auger sampling has
generated several priority targets at Polelle. However, a lack of heritage clearance surveys limited the
amount of aircore drilling and other proposed work.
Castle waived the $100,000 Option Extension Fee providing GBR with an additional 12 months to test
both areas and GBR committed to a minimum cumulative exploration expenditure of $600,000 on the
two projects during the full two-year term of the option. All other material terms, including the Option
Exercise Fee of $100,000 payable in GBR shares, remain the same.
Beasley Creek and Terra Rossa Projects
Castle continued to seek farm-in partners for its Beasley Creek gold project (Rocklea Dome, Pilbara
region) and its Terra Rossa copper-zinc projects (Earaheedy Basin).
CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL

ABOUT CASTLE MINERALS
Castle Minerals Limited is an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:
CDT) listed and Perth, Western Australia headquartered company
with interests in several projects in Ghana and Western Australia that
are prospective for gold, graphite and base metals.
In Ghana, West Africa, Castle’s 100% owned Ghanaian subsidiary,
Carlie Mining Ltd, holds the Wa Gold Project in the Upper West
Region. The Kpali sub-project comprises the Kpali, Kpali East and
Bundi prospects. The Kandia prospect is a separate standalone
discovery. All occur in highly prospective Birimian geological terrane,
the host to many of West Africa’s and Ghana’s multi-million-ounce
gold mines.
The 100% owned Kambale Graphite Project is also located in
Ghana’s Upper West Region. It is being progressed through technical
and commercial evaluation for the production of battery grade
material to be used in lithium-ion battery manufacture.
Farm-outs or sales have been or are being sought for the
Company’s West Australian projects:
The Polelle Project, 7km southeast of the operating
Bluebird gold mine near Meekatharra, hosts a mainly
obscured and minimally explored greenstone belt
prospective for gold and possibly base metals. The
Wanganui Project is prospective for down-plunge highgrade gold shoots. Both have been optioned for purchase
to Great Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: GBR) for
possible incorporation into its emerging Side Well project.
The Terra Rossa copper-zinc project is located on the
western edge of the Earaheedy Basin. It is adjacent to the
evolving World-Class Chinook-Magazine zinc-lead
project of Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR).
The Beasley Creek Project is prospective for gold and
lithium and lies on the northern flanks of the Rocklea
Dome in the southern Pilbara.
STATEMENTS
Cautionary Statement
All of Castle’s projects in Australia are considered to be of grass roots or of relatively early-stage
exploration status. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. No Competent
Person has done sufficient work in accordance with JORC Code 2012 to conclusively determine or to
estimate in what quantities gold or other minerals are present. It is possible that following further
evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the information used to identify areas of interest
may be reduced when reported under JORC Code (2012).
Forward Looking Statement
Statements regarding Castle’s plans, forecasts and projections with respect to its mineral properties and
programmes are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that Castle’s plans for
development of its mineral properties will proceed. There can be no assurance that Castle will be able to
confirm the presence of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that any mineralisation will prove to be
economic or that a mine will be successfully developed on any of Castle’s mineral properties. The
