## Minestarters Atlas summary

Iltani Resources Limited reported a transformational year in its 2026 Annual Report, highlighted by the maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimates for its Orient Silver-Indium Project. The combined MRE stands at 62.5Mt at 82 g/t Ag Eq., confirming it as Australia’s largest known silver-indium deposit. The company also secured an A$8 million investment from the Queensland Investment Corporation, comprising non-dilutive funding and an equity placement, and progressed its largest drilling program to date.

Reasoning: Iltani Resources Limited delivered significant maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimates for its Orient Silver-Indium Project, establishing it as a major deposit, and secured substantial funding to advance its development, demonstrating strong progress and future potential.

- Positive factor: Maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimates for the Orient Silver-Indium Project

- Positive factor: Significant contained metal reported across silver, indium, lead, and zinc

- Positive factor: Project confirmed as Australia's largest known silver-indium deposit

- Positive factor: Substantial A$8 million investment secured from Queensland Investment Corporation \(QIC\), including non-dilutive funding

- Positive factor: Strategic focus on critical minerals and ongoing drilling to upgrade resources

- Positive factor: Qualified Person \(QP\) / Competent Person \(CP\) sign-off on MREs

- Positive factor: Metal equivalent assumptions are clearly disclosed

- Negative factor: MREs still contain a significant inferred component, indicating early stage of resource definition

- Negative factor: No specific drill-hole intercepts were provided in this annual report, only a summary of drilling activity

- Negative factor: Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and does not constitute a Mineral Resource

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 32

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the release of initial Mineral Resource Estimates for Orient West and Orient East, which are the first formal MREs for these projects.

Evidence · text

> In July 2025, we announced the maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) for Orient West... This was followed in October 2025 by the maiden Orient East MRE

**JORC Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The Mineral Resource Estimates for Orient West, Orient East, and the combined Orient Project are all stated to be JORC compliant.

Evidence · text

> maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) for Orient West

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The 'Competent Persons Statement' section names Mr Louis Cohalan, Mr Stuart Hutchin, and Mr Erik Norum as Competent Persons responsible for the MREs and Exploration Results.

Evidence · text

> The information in this report that relates to the Orient Mineral Resource Estimates is based on information compiled by Mr Louis Cohalan who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Geologists \(AIG\), and is a full time employee of Mining One Consultants, and who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ \(JORC Code\).

**Contained Metal Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes.

Why it applies: The document reports the initial contained metal for the Orient Project, including 46 million ounces of silver, 341,000 tonnes of lead, 421,000 tonnes of zinc and 725 tonnes of indium, establishing a significant new resource base.

Evidence · text

> The MRE contains an estimated 46 million ounces of silver, 341,000 tonnes of lead, 421,000 tonnes of zinc and 725 tonnes of indium, confirming Orient as the largest known silver-indium deposit in Australia.

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The Mineral Resource Estimates are reported with a clear cut-off grade of 30 g/t Ag Eq.

Evidence · text

> Combined, the Orient MRE stands at 62.5Mt at 82 g/t Ag Eq. \(30 g/t Ag Eq. cut-off\).

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: The metal equivalent calculation formula, recoveries, and commodity prices used are explicitly detailed in Table 7 and accompanying text.

Evidence · text

> The equivalent silver formula is Ag Eq. = Ag + \(Pb x 35.5\) + \(Zn x 50.2\) + \(In x 0.47\)

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: A significant portion of the combined Orient MRE \(23.7 Mt\) is classified as Inferred, indicating lower geological confidence.

Evidence · table

> 23.7

Reasoning: The A$2 million equity investment from QIC at A$0.37 per share provides significant capital for project development and signals strong institutional confidence in the Orient Silver-Indium Project.

- Positive factor: Significant equity investment from a strategic investor \(QIC\)

- Positive factor: Funds dedicated to advancing the Orient Silver-Indium Project

- Positive factor: Investment at a premium to the share price at the start of the financial year \($0.23\)

Evidence · text

> On 15 October 2025 the Company announced that the QIC Critical Minerals and Battery Technology fund \(QCMBTF\) has agreed to advance development of the Orient Silver-indium Project located near Herberton in Northern Queensland. QCMBTF agreed to pay the Company $6.0M in upfront, non-dilutive funding tied to royalties based on future production sales and an equity investment of $2.0M, subject to shareholder approval. Shareholder approval was granted at the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2025 and the investment of $2.0M in equity and payment of $6.0M were completed on 11 December 2025.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
