KARORA RESOURCES DRILLS 13.7% NI OVER 2.6 METRES, 12.0% NI OVER 2.9 METRES, AND 15.4% NI OVER 0.6 METRES FURTHER DEMONSTRATING THE HIGH-GRADE POTENTIAL OF THE OPEN-ENDED 50C NICKEL TROUGH

The initial results from Karora Resources Inc.'s 50C infill drilling program, aimed at upgrading and extending the 50C nickel mineral resource, have returned strong intercepts with some of the highest-grade nickel intersections to date at Beta Hunt.

The first set of drilling results from the current 50C program demonstrate the potential for additional high-grade nickel mineralization associated with the Gamma block nickel mineral resource. Highlights from six drill hole results1 received to date are summarized below:

• G50-22-26NE: 8.2 per cent Ni over 5.1 metres, including 13.7 per cent Ni over 2.6 metres;
• G50-22-27NE: 12 per cent Ni over 2.9 metres;
• G50-22-23NE: 8.8 per cent Ni over 3.3 metres;
• G50-22-25NE: 15.4 per cent Ni over 0.6 metre;
• G50-22-28NE: 4.1 per cent Ni over 1.2 metres.

The 50C and 10C mineral resources which make up the Gamma nickel mineral resource remain open along strike to the southeast with potential to extend three kilometres along strike from the Gamma fault to the sublease boundary. This potential is highlighted by historical surface drill hole LD4022, which intersected 9.5 metres (down hole) grading 11.4 per cent Ni, 400 metres southeast along strike of the mineral resource and 1.2 km southeast of the 50C discovery hole (11.6 per cent Ni over 4.6 metres in hole G50-22-005E).

Paul Andre Huet, chairman and chief executive officer, commented: "We are very pleased with the latest results received from our nickel drilling program at the 50C nickel discovery which, along with the 10C nickel trough, forms the Gamma block nickel mineral resource. The new infill drilling returned some outstanding high-grade results that are expected to support the upgrading and extension of the 50C mineral resource.

"These high-grade drill results are even more exciting when you consider the 50C area remains open along strike, with the potential to extend a total of three km from the Gamma fault to the southern property boundary. The current Gamma block measured and indicated mineral resource is a very impressive 3 per cent Ni (197,000 t at 3 per cent for 6,000 nickel tonnes) and the potential for mineral resource expansion and upgrades makes this a very compelling new area for future mining. Beta Hunt has the unique infrastructure capability to service and mine both gold and nickel areas, providing us tremendous flexibility in extracting these resources as metal prices move.

"Over all, the initial results from the ongoing nickel infill and extensional drilling program bode very well for the next update of the Beta Hunt nickel mineral resource, expected in late 2024. The current total Beta Hunt mineral resource is 22,300 contained nickel tonnes in M&I category and 13,400 contained nickel tonnes in inferred mineral resources."

50C drilling update

The purpose of the 4,200-metre 50C infill drilling program is to upgrade the existing Gamma block mineral resource to add confidence in support of future mine production. Drilling is planned to be undertaken from four positions situated along the Beta return incline (BRI) development drive. The drilling was facilitated by advancing the BRI an additional 300 metres during 2023. This development also forms part of the future access to the 50C.

The 50C nickel zone was discovered by Karora in early 2021 (see news release, April 6, 2021) and a maiden mineral resource was announced in 2022 (see news release, May 11, 2022). The 50C is part of the Gamma block mineral resource which hosts 197,000 tonnes grading 3 per cent Ni for 6,000 Ni tonnes in the measured and indicated category and 317,000 tonnes grading 2.7 per cent Ni for 8,200 Ni tonnes in the inferred category. The Gamma block (including the 50C) is a new nickel area at Beta Hunt and Karora is poised to be the first company to mine nickel from this zone.

Drilling results

Results received for the first six drill holes of the 50C infill drill program delivered some of the highest-grade nickel intersections recorded from the 50C to date, highlighting the potential to upgrade and extend the existing nickel mineral resource. The high-grade intersections are associated with massive sulphide, dominated by nickel sulphide mineral pentlandite, occurring on both the ultramafic/basalt contact and basalt/basalt pinch positions. Significant intersections1 are summarized below:

• G50-22-26NE: 8.2 per cent Ni over 5.1 metres, including 13.7 per cent over 2.6 metres, 2.3 per cent Ni over 2.7 metres and 5.1 per cent Ni over 0.5 metre;
• G50-22-27NE: 12 per cent Ni over 2.9 metres;
• G50-22-23NE: 8.8 per cent Ni over 3.3 metres;
• G50-22-25NE: 15.4 per cent Ni over 0.6 metre;
• G50-22-28NE: 4.1 per cent Ni over 1.2 metres.

Compliance statement (JORC 2012 and National Instrument 43-101)

The disclosure of scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Stephen Devlin, FAusIMM, chief geological officer, Karora Resources, a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

At Beta Hunt all drill core sampling is conducted by Karora personnel. Samples for gold analysis are shipped to SGS Mineral Services of Kalgoorlie for preparation and assaying by 50-gram fire assay analytical method. All gold diamond drilling samples submitted for assay include at least one blank and one certified reference material (CRM) per batch, plus one CRM or blank every 20 samples. In samples with observed visible gold mineralization, a coarse blank is inserted after the visible gold mineralization to serve as both a coarse flush to prevent contamination of subsequent samples and a test for gold smearing from one sample to the next which may have resulted from inadequate cleaning of the crusher and pulverizer. The lab is also required to undertake a minimum of one in 20 wet screens on pulverized samples to ensure a minimum 85 per cent passing at minus 75 micrometres. Samples for nickel analysis are shipped to SGS Australia Mineral Services of Kalgoorlie for preparation. Pulps are then shipped to Perth for assaying. The analytical technique is a four-acid digest inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy package. Assays recorded above the upper detection limit (25,000 parts per million Ni) are reanalyzed using the same technique with a greater dilution (ICP43B). All samples submitted for nickel assay include at least one CRM per batch, with a minimum of one CRM per 20 samples.

Karora operates an industry best practice quality assurance/quality control process to ensure the integrity of all assay results.
