Rincon Resources Limited has commenced a Reverse Circulation drilling program totaling approximately 3,500 metres at the 100% owned Telfer South gold-copper project in Western Australia's Eastern Pilbara region.

The site is located 10 kilometres south of the operating Telfer Gold Mine. The current program has expanded from an earlier plan in June 2026 that covered up to 2,500 metres of drilling.

The campaign focuses on two priority areas. The primary target is the Hasties Zone, which hosts the Hasties Main and Hasties South-East deposits along a newly identified 1.1-kilometre corridor. Rincon has scheduled 20 drill holes totalling approximately 2,000 metres to extend mineralisation to the northwest and southeast, with scope to add more holes as work progresses.

“This program focuses on two priority targets. First, the Hasties Zone, where we're working to expand the known gold-copper resources along the newly identified 1.1km gold/copper corridor.”

— Michael Griffiths, Technical Director

The second target is the Frenchman's prospect, situated about 700 metres northwest of the Hasties Zone on a parallel structure. Rincon has planned eight drill holes totalling 1,500 metres to follow up on historical high-grade intercepts, including drillhole 21STRC032, which returned 5 metres grading 1.74 g/t gold from 118 metres, and historical hole HWR029, which intersected 39 metres at 0.2% copper from 8 metres.

Exploration and drilling across the 200.8-square-kilometre tenement package is supported by a multi-stage farm-in and joint venture agreement with Greatland Resources that was finalized in December 2025.
