Middle Island Resources Limited has received new exploration results confirming large-scale gold targets at the Zabrnjica and Beli Potok prospects within the Ober exploration licence at the Priboj Project in Serbia.

Infill soil sampling at Zabrnjica defined a core +10ppb gold-in-soil anomaly extending over an approximate 450m by 200m area, within a broader 500m by 500m zone. Rock chip sampling returned assays of up to 0.28g/t gold in outcrop and 0.94g/t gold in float samples, following initial target identification in March 2026.

At Beli Potok, situated at the northern end of the Ober licence, infill soil sampling defined two +10ppb gold-in-soil anomalies within a 1,000m by 500m area, with soil assays reaching up to 31ppb gold. Rock chip samples returned up to 0.44g/t gold for float and 0.38g/t gold for outcrop, with an expanded mapping and sampling program now underway.

The geochemical footprints, altered sedimentary host rocks, quartz veining, and disseminated mineralisation observed at both prospects are regarded by Middle Island as analogous to large-scale replacement-style gold systems.

“These targets represent compelling targets for initial RC drilling and expand the pipeline of prospective gold targets within our Serbian portfolio, reinforcing our view that this previously unexplored region has potential to host large-scale replacement-style gold systems.” — Daniel Raihani, Executive Chairman

Initial reverse circulation drilling programs have been designed to test the mineralised sediments identified at both Zabrnjica and Beli Potok, subject to licence renewal and land access approvals currently in progress.

Beyond the Ober licence, Middle Island holds the Bobija Project in Serbia. Middle Island Resources Limited reported Phase 2 reverse circulation drilling results for the Bobija project within the surrounding district on 1 July 2026, defining gold-silver-base metal mineralisation across an approximate 80,000m2 area with intersections including 41m at 1.03g/t gold and 52.9g/t silver in hole BMLRC022.

In parallel with the ongoing gold work, an initial reverse circulation drilling program is planned for the Jelaca Prospect within the Priboj licence to test for copper mineralisation.

“We look forward to systematically advancing exploration at Zabrnjica and Beli Potok through initial RC drilling, while continuing to progress our exciting copper targets across the broader Priboj Project area.” — Daniel Raihani, Executive Chairman

These upcoming drill programs form part of a broader regional exploration push across Middle Island's Serbian portfolio.
