$17m Placement to Accelerate Growth
Highlights
• Firm commitments received to raise A$17 million at $A0.185 per share via a two-
tranche placement.
• The placement was strongly supported by new, high-quality, Australian &
International institutions, resource funds and existing shareholders.
• Provides endorsement of the Company’s strategy to:
• acquire additional near-term production assets;
• accelerate drilling activities to aggressively grow the resource base; and
• continue to systematically re-develop the Burbanks processing plant.
• Share Purchase Plan launched to raise up to A$3.0 million (subject to ASX waiver).
Strongly Supported Capital Raising to Accelerate Resource Growth
Auric Mining Limited (ASX: AWJ) (“Auric” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
Company has received firm commitments from new and existing sophisticated,
professional, and institutional investors for a two-tranche placement of 91,891,892 shares to
raise approximately A$17 million (before costs), priced at A$0.185 per New Share (the
“Placement”).
The Company held A$33.0 million in cash at the end of September (refer ASX
announcement 15 October 2026) and upon completion of the Placement the Company
will be well funded to further accelerate its exploration activities while maintaining timelines
and near-term construction activities at Burbanks. Full project development remains subject
to securing additional funding.
The Placement was strongly supported by new high-quality International and Australian
institutions as well as existing shareholders. Directors will also participate in both the
Placement and the Share Purchase Plan.
Funds raised will primarily be used to grow the resource base through the acquisition of the
Union Jack and Iron Maiden Projects (refer ASX announcements 9 September 2026 and 10
November 2026 respectively), and increased drilling across the Company’s growing project
portfolio, as well as ongoing de-risking grade control and growth drilling at Munda.
Use of funds will include:
• Munda grade control and extensional drilling to grow the Mineral Resource;
• Extensional and resource growth drilling at the Union Jack Project, which is located 15km
from Burbanks;

• Acquisition and the commencement of drilling at Iron Maiden, which lies 5km south of
Norseman. This project has seen little exploration in the last 20 years;
• Relocation of the recently purchased infrastructure package and equipment for
Burbanks, which is expected to be delivered to Burbanks during December 2026; and
• General working capital and ongoing business development activities.
Auric Managing Director, Mark English, commented:
“This strongly supported placement allows us to consolidate two new
projects, further increasing our global resource base. With additional
funds, we will accelerate drilling activities across our expanded
project portfolio targeting at near term resource expansion.
“Importantly, our activities at Burbanks continue on schedule
with the infrastructure package on track to be delivered
to Burbanks this quarter and regulatory approval
processes advancing as expected.
“The Company’s aim is to become
a standalone gold producer in
the fastest possible time. To that
end, we are rapidly expanding
and growing the business
through smart acquisitions to
ensure long term feed for the
Burbanks processing plant.
“We thank all of our existing
shareholders for their continued
support and look forward to
welcoming many new institutional
funds to the register as we rapidly
increase our activities across exploration
and mine development.”
Auric CEO, Gareth Solly, commented:
“Auric owns the key infrastructure required to move into production, giving us a clear
pathway to cash flow in the heart of the Kalgoorlie region. With a healthy cash balance,
we are well positioned to rapidly grow our gold resources, targeting potential near term
production assets.
“Our focus is disciplined capital allocation to systematically derisk the business through
exploration and mine life growth and ultimately converting that into cash flow.”

Placement
The Placement of 91,891,892 New Shares at A$0.185 per New Share (Placement Shares) will
be completed in two tranches as follows:
• Tranche 1 to raise ~A$8.7 million pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (28,184,040 Placement Shares) and 7.1A (18,789,360 Placement
Shares)); and
• Tranche 2 to raise ~A$8.3 million (44,918,492 Placement Shares), subject to shareholder
approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) expected to be held in mid-
December 2026.
Included in Tranche 2 are commitments made by directors of Auric to subscribe for
A$120,000 (648,648 Placement Shares) on the same terms as unrelated investors in the
Placement (“Director Placement”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Director Placement
forms part of Tranche 2 and is subject to shareholder approval at the EGM.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, Taylor Collison Limited and MA Moelis Australia
Advisory Pty Ltd acted as Joint Lead Managers to the Placement. Lazarus Advisory Pty Ltd
acted as Co-Manager to the Placement.
Share Purchase Plan
The Company intends to give the opportunity to existing eligible Auric shareholders to
subscribe for additional shares in the Company at A$0.185 per New Share, being the same
price as the Placement (“SPP”). The amount to be raised under the SPP will be up to
A$3,000,000. The record date for the SPP is 5pm (AWST) on 11 November 2026.
Separately, the eligible Directors have made commitments to support the SPP to their full
capacity, subscribing for A$90,000.
Further details of the SPP will be provided in a subsequent announcement.
The undertaking of the SPP at an issue price of A$0.185 per share is subject to the granting
of a waiver by the ASX. As the issue price discount limitation requirements of the SPP
exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5) and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 4) are
not strictly met, the Company has applied to ASX for a waiver to allow the Company to
issue Shares under the SPP to eligible shareholders at an issue price of A$0.185 per New
Share, being the same terms as the Placement. The Company will keep the market informed
of the outcome of the waiver application.
