Review of Operations
During the half year ended 31 December 2025, Delta
focussed on its two key projects in Western
Australia. At Mt Ida, Delta successfully completed
the demerger of its Mt Ida Gold Project into a new,
standalone entity, named Ballard Mining Limited
(Ballard). Ballard commenced trading on the ASX
following Delta’s successful completion of the
demerger and Initial Public Offering (IPO) of its Mt
Ida Gold Project into this new, standalone entity.
This strategic separation allows Delta to focus on its
core lithium business while providing investors with
direct exposure to a promising gold exploration
company. At Yinnetharra, target generation was
completed prior to the commencement of a drill
campaign in late October 2025.
Mt Ida Project
The Mt Ida Gold Asset is located approximately
100km northwest of Menzies, and approximately
225km by road from Kalgoorlie in Western
Australia’s prolific Eastern Goldfields mining region.

Delta released an updated gold Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Mt Ida Project with a total
Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources of 10.3Mt @ 3.33 g/t Au for 1.1 Moz. This MRE update
significantly increased the global gold inventory at the Mt Ida Project, demonstrating the presence of a
large gold system, both immediately at Baldock and across the broader tenement package, and
represented significant potential upside for future exploration at the Mt Ida Project.
Given the scale of the Mt Ida Gold MRE and a potential future standalone mining operation, together
with the funds required to continue advancing the Mt Ida Project towards execution, the Board and
management of Delta made a strategic decision to demerge the Gold Asset into Ballard to drive superior
value for Delta Shareholders and new Ballard Shareholders. The demerger and IPO have been an
outstanding success with the Ballard share price appreciating more than 150% since listing.
The demerger, which received very strong institutional and retail support, provided Delta shareholders
with one Ballard share for every 11.25 Delta shares held, allowing shareholders to retain exposure to
the value and upside of the Gold Asset. Ballard is driven by a high-calibre and experienced team with
extensive experience in mineral exploration, project development, mining and financing in the
resources industry. Tim Manners and Paul Brennan lead the executive team and carry their current
knowledge of the asset over to Ballard to ensure a smooth transition of the Mt Ida Gold asset into the
new standalone entity. Todd Hibberd subsequently joined as Exploration Manager. Simon Lill has been
appointed Chairman and Stuart Mathews and James Croser are acting as Non-Executive Directors.
The demerger was subsequently followed by a successful IPO and ASX listing on 14 July 2025, with an
oversubscribed capital raising of $30 million. The capital has allowed Ballard to immediately commence
a significant exploration, extensional and infill drilling program, including the drilling of regional growth
targets and infill drilling at Baldock to support DFS workstreams and associated study work, with a view
to reaching a final investment decision on building a gold mine at Mt Ida.
Ongoing Exploration at Mt Ida
Delta remains the tenement holder at Mt Ida and retains ownership of all minerals except for gold.
Ballard Mining’s gold infill drill program has continued to return broad, high-grade mineralised lithium
intervals. These intercepts demonstrate the excellent quality of the Mt Ida Lithium resource while also
significantly increasing confidence in the model at minimal cost to Delta. These additional infill holes
have been used to refine the existing MRE model and were incorporated into the MRE update which was
completed in November 2025. Although the drillholes are oriented slightly obliquely due to the NW
trending gold mineralisation, importantly the lithium grade in these holes is consistently higher than
existing models.
Delta is also able to benefit from the Ballard regional and infill drilling programs. Where pegmatites are
intercepted during the gold drilling programs, Delta has been assaying the pegmatites for lithium. Best
results intercepted during the quarter (which were drilled obliquely) are outlined below:

Table 1: List of significant intercepts from infill drilling of the current Mt Ida Lithium MRE
These new lithium results and a new pegmatite discovery are very encouraging for the Mt Ida Lithium
Project and confirm the high potential of discovering further resources at depth and along strike of the
existing Lithium MRE with future drilling.
Furthermore, a thorough review of the Mt Ida database during the quarter has confirmed that the Mt
Ida LCT pegmatite system also hosts high-grade rubidium, coincident and seemingly correlated with the
existing high-grade lithium and tantalum mineralised zones. Very high-grade rubidium intercepts have
been assayed, including intercepts of up to 5m @ 1.79% Rb2O in hole GCS0013. Table 2 below includes
a selection of the many significant rubidium intercepts contained within the existing Mt Ida LCT
pegmatites.
The rubidium is completely contained within the existing MRE, potentially adding significant value as a
co-product to the lithia production at the Mt Ida Project by reporting to the mica pre-float concentration
part of the existing Mt Ida WOF flowsheet design. As a result, this new data was incorporated into a MRE
update for Mt Ida (inclusive of rubidium), which Delta released in the December Quarter.

MRE Update
Delta updated the independent Lithium Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) which was prepared by
Snowden Optiro on the Sister Sam, Timoni and Sparrow pegmatites at the Company’s wholly owned Mt
Ida Lithium Project – see Table 3. The MRE update has been reported under the Reasonable Prospectus
for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) criteria. This only includes material that falls within Open Pit
shells & Mineable Shape Optimizer’s (MSO’s) – refer to ASX announcement dated 13 November 2025 ‘Mt
Ida Lithium and Rubidium MRE’ for full details of the economic parameters used. The MRE update was
as a result of previous drilling conducted by Delta and current gold infill drilling by Ballard Mining, which
has resulted in the refining of wireframes, reducing volumes in certain areas and extending
mineralisation in others but ultimately leading to an increase in overall confidence and tonnes.

The incorporation of this additional drilling when combined with advanced metallurgy, environmental
and geotechnical works has allowed for the delineation of a portion of measured resources – see figure
2. This is a great benefit to the Project and speaks to the confidence of the shallow material which
would be the initial focus in a mining scenario.
Figure 2: View facing Southeast showing Mt Ida Lithium Resource Classification & unconstrained rubidium oxide block model
The primary aim of the update to the MRE was to determine the spatial distribution of contained
rubidium, which occurs entirely within the existing lithium wireframes, while updating the classification
based upon the metallurgical and geotechnical feasibility work that has been completed to date. This
resulting MRE highlights Mt Ida as a globally significant potential source of rubidium material as well as
the world’s current highest-grade resource according to public data – see Figure 3.

Metallurgical Studies
Extensive metallurgical testwork has been completed on the Mt Ida Lithium Project to date. Feasibility
testwork has confirmed that the Mt Ida deposit can produce tantalite, mica & spodumene concentrates
via a process flowsheet including spirals and whole ‘ore’ flotation (WOF). Figure 4 illustrates the Mt Ida
flowsheet and staged separation of spodumene, mica and tantalite concentrates.
Existing WOF flowsheet testwork confirmed that rubidium is readily extracted as a byproduct within the
mica pre-float stage and reports to the mica concentrate. The amenability of the existing flowsheet to
recover >90% of rubidium in the ore feed and up to 50-55% of the total contained Li2O during this mica
pre-float process, resulting in production of a high-grade lithium/rubidium concentrate with an overall
average grade of 3.01% Li2O and 1.8% Rb2O based on flotation work to date.
These results are extremely encouraging and present with significant concentrations of high value
critical minerals. As a result, the Company commissioned Strategic Metallurgy to conduct Phase 1
downstream processing optimisation and economic studies to outline a pathway to potential commercial
production of lithium, rubidium and potassium products from this mica concentrate. These works are
underway and have already returned high recoveries from leaching stages and alum separation, thus
confirming the amenability of the concentrate to produce high purity lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and
rubidium carbonate (Rb2CO3) as well as potassium sulphate as a byproduct.

Downstream processing work is progressing with Strategic Metallurgy. Work to date have been successful
with the generation of a saleable lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) product with purity of >99%.
This workstream may add significant value to the Mt Ida project as it confirms the potential for Delta
to vertically integrate treatment of the mica concentrate produced from the current Mt Ida Lithium
flowsheet.
Development of the specific hydromet flowsheet is advancing in line with this testwork, seeking also to
produce a rubidium product and potassium sulphate biproduct all from the same mica concentrate.
These important workflows demonstrate that Delta’s Mt Ida project has the potential to be a near term
producer of critical minerals.

Rubidium Market
The global rubidium market is relatively small but strategically significant segment within the specialty
metals sector, underpinned by its unique properties and expanding high-technology applications.
Traditionally used in specialty glass, electronics and chemical research, rubidium demand is increasingly
driven by the following industries;
• Military and Defence Systems
• Quantum Technologies
• Biomedical Applications
• Oil & Gas Drilling Applications
• Next-generation Sensors (Atomic Clocks)
Emerging uses in quantum navigation, medical imaging, and specialty formate fluids are broadening the
market’s commercial footprint beyond its historical niche. Rubidium is a heavier alkali metal with a free
outer valance electron, making it particularly valuable in quantum mechanics research where this
hydrogen-like characteristic proves ideal for precision modelling in quantum mechanics and atomic
physics, particularly where solutions to Schrödinger’s calculation are necessary.
The scarcity of high-purity supply and rising demand from defence, aerospace and energy technology
sectors point to a tightening geostrategic market and sustained upward demand trajectory through the
decade which is expected to reach USD $8 billion by 2033. Its recent designation as a critical mineral in
key markets such as the United States and Japan, coupled with the global push to secure non-Chinese
supply chains, positions Delta favourably in Western markets.
At today’s price of approximately USD$1,067 per kilogram for high-purity rubidium carbonate, the
potential value contribution from rubidium represents a significant strategic upside for the Mt Ida
Project.
Yinnetharra Lithium Project
The Yinnetharra Project, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, targets Lithium mineralisation,
with Delta now owning more than 2,300 km² of tenure outright and as Farm-in Joint Ventures. A MRE
update for Yinnetharra was released in March 2025 of 21.9 Mt @ 1% Li2O and 75ppm Ta2O5 and an
additional 17.5Mt @ 136ppm Ta2O5.

Figure 6: Yinnetharra tenure showing geology and regional targets
Lithium resources at Malinda are present in three main pegmatites: the M1, M36 and M47, with smaller
resources at M42, M20, M67 and M69. Mineralisation extends from surface to a depth of greater than
300m. The recent MRE update has now classified 74% of the Resource as indicated underpinning future
studies and project development pathways.
The Malinda Project is well advanced with DFS-level metallurgy and geotechnical studies completed
over the M1 pegmatite in particular, and the mining lease application has been submitted. The
investigation of various mining scenarios are well advanced, while the regional tenure presents upside
for additional resource tonnes.
During the half year ended 31 December 2025, the Company mobilised a reverse circulation (RC) rig up
to the Yinnetharra Project to test up to six (6) high priority regional targets adjacent to Jameson (MRE
0.8Mt @ 1.66% Li2O) and extending south then east toward Malinda along the 20km of prospective Leake
Springs metasediment unit. Drilling was paused for a two-week period over Christmas before
recommencing in early January to continue the program. The RC program is systematically testing the
high priority prospects which have been developed throughout 2025 via extensive “boots on the ground”
exploration across existing and newly acquired tenure.

The LCT rights agreement with Dalaroo Metals at the Lyons River Project was terminated during the
quarter for no consideration. Multiple phases of exploration programs were completed over the tenure
with no meaningful LCT anomalies being delineated.
Jameson
Jameson represents a high priority target in relation to exploration and resource growth. The current
Jameson MRE of 0.8Mt @ 1.66% Li2O is mineralised from surface with an open plunge component. The
area is structurally complex with several deformational and folding events. Structural analysis
undertaken has improved understanding of the paragenesis and subsequent mineralisation which is
hosted in these structural traps.
Figure 7: Plan view of Jameson with planned drilling
The detailed structural review identified the F2 fold hinges and later stage faults as priority targets for
future exploration. The current surface data correlates with this thesis, suggesting lithium-enriched
fluids have mobilised through these potential structural trap zones – see Figure 7. The majority of this
Phase 1 drilling program is targeting these fold hinges, limbs and faults which possess elevated discrete
surface anomalies.

Jameson drilling of 6,072m targeted both Jameson South for the first time and follow-up drilling at
Jameson North, proximal to the J1 resource. Drilling has been completed across Jameson South,
intercepting the target structures in the fold limbs and hinges. Significant pegmatite intercepts were
encountered in excess of 60m thick in a zone with anomalous surface geochemistry, however these
pegmatites did not host any economic lithium within the pegmatites.
The Jameson North program enjoyed some success, increasing confidence in the J1 resource. Best
intercepts are summarised below in table 4.

Table 4: Significant intercepts at Yinnetharra.
Step out drilling at Jameson intersected substantial pegmatites but did not host significant lithium. A
number of targets could not be tested as a result of difficult drilling conditions and substantial deviation
caused by strong regional fabric. As a result, some holes were abandoned and will serve as precollars
for diamond tails to be drilled later this year, when Delta undertakes diamond drilling under an approved
Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) drill program.

Caribou prospect drilling comprised of 1,387m. This drilling targeted notable lithium anomalies at depth
intercepted in the previous program. A sequence of pegmatites were intercepted within the prospective
host stratigraphy, however they were not the correct composition to host lithium bearing minerals,
being predominantly comprised of albite, quartz and feldspars.
Drilling has continued with Mason’s North Talisker, and Yamazaki having been completed before moving
on to East Calypso, Perseverance as well as targeting Malinda extensions.

Yinnetharra Regional Exploration
As part of the regional campaign, exploration work has continued across the >2,300km2
Project and
Fam-In tenure. The team have been conducting systematic surface exploration across prospective areas
and generated over 25 prospects (see Figure 6, above) with many areas not yet explored. This
greenfields geological work comprised of detailed mapping, rock chip and auger sampling as well as a
high-resolution drone magnetic survey.
The drone magnetics survey was completed in September and flown at 25m spacings and 20m vertical
height to produce a high-resolution map which will aid with structural interpretations and target
generation. The culmination of these greenfields geological workstreams has resulted in six priority drill
targets that is be the focus of the Phase 1 drill program, all of which are hosted in the Leake Springs
Metamorphics unit, the preferential host of Jameson and Malinda deposits – see Figure 8.

Mason’s Prospect is a 500m long target characterised by enriched lithium, caesium, tantalum (LCT)
pegmatites located 3km along strike from Jamesons within the same host rocks. The first phase of
drilling will target these northwest trending pegmatites at depth and along the defined strike.
Yamazaki Prospect represents a compelling exploration target sitting just 8km from Jameson and 12km
from Malinda along the margin of the continuous Leake Springs unit. It hosts a 4km long lithium surface
geochemical anomaly that has never been drilled – see Figure 9.

East Calypso Prospect is a highly ranked target beyond Jameson. This prospect sits immediately adjacent
to the Thirty-Three Suites Granite within the Leake Springs which is a mirror image of the geological
setting at the Malinda deposit. Contrary to the general LCT models, the 21.1Mt @ 1% Li2O at Malinda is
located only a few hundred metres away from the apparent source granite which is identical to East
Calypso to the south.
East Calypso is also strengthened by the same host rocks and consistently high lithium / caesium levels
in the surface dataset, while caesium is generally very immobile and does not travel far from the source
– see Figures 10 and 11. These E-W trending pegmatites will be tested thoroughly during this current
program.

Approvals and Project Development
A Mining Lease application M09/185 has been submitted for the Malinda Mining Area (Figure 12) and
Native Title negotiations are ongoing.
Environmental permitting has advanced with all flora and fauna field surveys now completed, and
technical reports being finalised.
The approvals and permitting strategy remain on track, with the submissions to regulators planned for
completion in quarter 2 of-CY2026.

Delta is advancing the water exploration program at Yinnetharra via passive seismic surveying, which
has been completed across the target terrain and successfully mapped out the paleochannel bedrock in
these locations – see Figure 13. Vertical probe holes will be completed during the upcoming drill program
to confirm the location of the modelled thalweg, that being the deepest and most productive part of a
paleochannel system. This confirmatory drilling will allow for the precise planning of water production
bore drilling and construction to follow. The Water Development workstream serves to identify a reliable
subsurface water source supporting the Projects’ mining and processing requirements for feasibility,
planning and approvals purposes. Water is a crucial aspect of mine feasibility and water investigations
are ongoing and in parallel with current exploration activities.
