Refer to VTX ASX announcement 5 July 2023 13 ASX: VTX Reward Gold Mine 14 ASX: VTX Exploration Target at Fosters, approx. 400m south of Reward Gold Mine. Fosters sits within ground already covered by Vertex Mining Licenses and existing Development Consent. Fosters is accessed by an existing Adit and development drive. For further information please refer to ASX Announcement “Exploration Target Calculated for Fosters” (29 August 2023). The Exploration Target is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource under the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, the JORC Code” (JORC 2012). The Exploration Target is not being reported as part of any Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.
