ASX Release Buxton Resources Ltd (ASX: BUX, BUXO) 10 November 2025
Lateron Project: High-Priority Cu/Au Drill Targets Defined
• Drill Ready: Three high-priority, magnetic-gravity targets defined for intrusive-
related Cu/Au mineralisation under shallow cover.
• De-risked Targets: New petrographic evidence confirms the presence of
magmatic amphibole and titanite—minerals highly indicative of large-scale
magmatic/hydrothermal sulphide systems.
• Geophysical Convergence: Detailed ground gravity and passive seismic
surveying successfully constrained the 3D model, refining targets at depths as
shallow as 77.5m.
• Path to Drilling: Heritage Agreement negotiations with the Tjurabalan Native
Title Lands Aboriginal Corporation are nearing completion, enabling
subsequent heritage surveys and 2026 drill commencement.
Buxton Resources Ltd (ASX: BUX) is pleased to report the successful finalisation and
de-risking of three high-priority drill targets at the 100%-owned Lateron Project,
targeting intrusive-related Cu/Au mineralisation (see Figures 1 & 2 for detailed cross
section and maps). The Lateron Project is located at the western margin of the
Tanami Province, 150km south from Halls Creek (see Figure 5 for location map).
The new targets result from 3D geophysical inversion modelling of new, detailed
ground gravity and high resolution open-file magnetics and are constrained by
reconnaissance passive seismic surveying. The modelling has identified four discrete,
highly magnetic features arranged around a central high-density, structurally
controlled block. Drilling is planned to test several of these features in 2026.
Crucially, petrographic results (Figures 3 & 4) from historic drill core fragments
confirm the presence of magmatic amphibole and titanite alongside pyrite and
chalcopyrite. These minerals are highly encouraging as they are derived from
magmas with high water content & sulphur solubility – these are commonly
associated with magmatic/hydrothermal copper-gold deposits.
The Company is presently finalising the negotiation of a Heritage Protection / Land
Access Agreement with the Tjurabalan Native Title Lands Aboriginal Corporation.
Once finalised, Buxton can then seek to undertake heritage surveys to allow for the
commencement of a drilling program in 2026.

Figure 1: Lateron Project cross section looking North with 3D inversion models of ground gravity and
detailed airborne magnetics, along with point basement depth estimates from reconnaissance passive
seismic and historical drilling.
Several discrete, highly magnetic zones (purple) are interpreted to represent similar magnetite- and
sulfide-bearing felsic rocks as were intersected by historic drillhole S-19 and which are prospective for
intrusion-related copper-gold mineralisation. A deeper gravity high (dark blue line) suggests the
presence of mafic magmatic rocks which are potentially also related to the S-19 intrusives.
Petrographic results from fragments of core recovered from the site of S-19 confirm the presence of
magmatic amphibole and titanite, in addition to pyrite and chalcopyrite. These minerals provide
strong encouragement for exploration at Lateron: they indicate the diorite is derived from hydrated
magmas with high sulphur solubility. Such rocks tend to be related-to, and occur nearby magmatic /
hydrothermal sulphide deposits.
The passive seismic results, together with records from historical drilling, indicate that the light blue
gravity isoshell (the lowest gravity contrast mapped by Buxton’s inversion processing) is mimicking
the base of Paleozoic cover sequence. Spatial variations mapped by this surface indicate a strong
local structural control - these structures are apparently reactivated during the deposition of the cover
sequence. Such long-lived structures also provide strong support for the Project’s mineral-deposit
prospectivity.
Three drillholes are planned to test these magnetic features for copper-gold mineralisation.

quartz content exceeds 20%. Medium grained textures with the dominant assumed plagioclase
completely replaced by sericite. The feldspar is commonly associated with allotriomorphic sub-0.5mm
quartz. The ferromagnesian silicates are predominantly green pleochroic hornblende. Brown
pleochroic biotite is subordinate and can be chloritized. There are clusters of subhedral 0.5mm
epidotes, and quite coarse titanite. The ore content, probably about 5%, consists of oxides and
sulphides. Oxides are dominantly magnetite as rather angular crystals to 0.2mm, often showing partial
oxidation to hematite. The sulphides are predominantly fresh pyrite which has a range of grain sizes,
and subhedral habit to 0.5mm. Chalcopyrite is present as rare fines.

Previously Reported Information - Lateron
There is no information in this announcement relating to exploration results previously announced.
Buxton cautions that visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute
for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual
estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties
relevant to valuations. Buxton cautions that chemical analysis from an independent laboratory is required to
confirm the presence of the visually logged copper sulphides and their proportions.

About the Lateron Project
Exploration at the Lateron Project Exploration License E80/5545 is targeting a cluster
of magnetic anomalies on the western margin of the Tanami Province under shallow
cover.
Historic uranium exploration by AFMECO in the early 1980s included a core hole
which targeted one of these magnetic features. Logs from that hole record the
presence of sulphide bearing mafic / ultramafic intrusions for which assays were not
reported at the time, and which have never been followed-up. Airborne magnetic
surveys indicate that this suite of mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks is remnantly
magnetised and underly an area of ~ 7 km2
.
Buxton is targeting magmatic-hydrothermal base & precious metal mineralisation
associated with these sulphide bearing intrusions.
Figure 5: Buxton’s 100%-owned Lateron Project is located close to the Tanami Road 150km south
from Halls Creek at the junction of the Kimberley, Canning and Tanami Regions of northern Western
Australia.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling
(eg cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken to ensure sample
representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material
to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities
or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed
information.
The ground-based gravity survey was carried out by
Atlas Geophysics Pty Ltd using a 200m by 200m
spaced grid pattern, expanded to 400m by 400m
around the perimeter. The gravity survey was
completed in 5 days of acquisition. An average
acquisition rate of around 103 stations per day of
production was achieved for the survey. The
sampling techniques used are deemed appropriate
for the style of exploration. Gravity Data points were
collected using:
- One CG-6 Autograv Gravity Meter (Serial
Number: 21050345, SF: 1.000240)
- One CHCi70+ GNSS Rover Receiver
- One CHCi70+ GNSS Base Receiver
- An autonomous GPS with a 2m accuracy was
used to locate the survey locations.
- The gravity meters used for the survey had
been recently calibrated on the Guildford
Cemetery – Helena Valley Primary School
calibration range (2010990117 -
2010990217) in Western Australia.
- The calibration process validated each
gravity meter’s scale factor to ensure
reduction of the survey data produces
correct Observed Gravities from measured
dial reading values.
- One new GNSS/gravity control station,
202509100001 “Myarra Pool” was used to
control all field observations throughout the
project.
- GNSS control was established at
202509100001 by, submitting three 10-hour
sessions of static data to Geoscience
Australia’s AUSPOS processing system,
where possible, producing first-order
geodetic coordinates. These coordinates are
accurate to better than 10mm for the x, y,
and z observables.
- The acquired GNSS raw data were
processed daily using Novatel Waypoint
GrafNav v9.00 post-processing software.
- Gravity control was established at station
202509100001 via ties to existing gravity
stations in the P201161 “Kimberly Road
Traverses” survey. Standard deviation of the
ties is 0.014mGal.

network of closed loops was formed.
- A total of 15 repeat readings representing
2.91% of the survey were acquired for
quality control purposes. Repeat readings
were evenly distributed, where possible, on
a time-basis throughout each of the gravity
loops.
- Repeatability of the data was excellent, with
the standard deviation of the elevation
repeats at 0.013m and the standard
deviation of the gravity repeats at
0.007mGal.
- Post processing and interpretation was
completed by Buxton.
mHVSR “passive seismic” readings were collected
using three Tromino three component 5Hz
seismometers. Additionally, three SmartSolo IGU16-
HR three component 5Hz seismometers were
deployed for quality assurance testing at three of the
6 sites. Resonant frequency (F0) picks were made

sediments. One of their diamond drill holes
intersected shallow “basement” rocks at 77.5 m
vertical depth in hole S-19. The drill logs for this
hole indicate the basement lithology consists of
“basic, foliated, coarse grained pyroxenite
containing abundant pyrite, hematitic quartz veins

Buxton identified the AFMECO’s 1982 diamond
drillhole S19 drill site during field reconnaissance
and found that a substantial amount of discarded
core remained. Most of this material was clearly
siliciclastic and likely belonged to the Knobby
Sandstone (Devonian cover sequence). However,
several fragments of intrusive textured diamond
drill core totalling 75 grams were recovered.
Petrological analysis on these fragments has
described the lithology as “biotite hornblende
quartz diorite” which has been altered “with coarse
titanite and sericite / muscovite pyrite-magnetite-
chalcopyrite overprint”. This lithological and
alteration association is highly encouraging for
magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au mineralisation.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
The Lateron Project lies at the far northeastern
edge of the Canning Basin where GSWA mapping
indicates that the Billiluna Shelf drapes over the
Paleoproterozoic sequences of the Birrindudu Basin
(1640-1725 Ma) and Tanami Basin (1864 – 1844
Ma). The Billiluna Shelf dips gently towards the
southwest where it terminates against the Balgo
Terrace. The Halls Creek Mobile Zone forms the
main structural feature north of the Billiluna Shelf.
The Lateron Project is completely covered by
unconsolidated surficial deposits including alluvium,
windblown sand of 1-20 metres thickness, with
variable development of underlying Cenozoic
Kaolinitic and sandy clays associated with calcrete
and silcrete which reach 30 metres thickenss.
This cover sequence overlies the Upper Devonian
Knobby Sandstone of the Billiluna Shelf, which
consists of fluvial fossiliferous medium to coarse
grained cross-bedded quartz sandstone with
abundant mudstone pellets in places; minor
interbedded siltstone and pebble to boulder
conglomerate (Hocking et al, 2008).
The Birrindudu Group also consists of siliciclastic
sediments, and the sequences of the Tanami Basin
and Tanami Orogen including metasedimentary
siliciclastic: psammite and pelite; interlayered and
intruded by with meta-igneous mafic and felsic
intrusives.

ο easting and northing of the
drill hole collar
ο elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
ο dip and azimuth of the hole
ο down hole length and
interception depth
ο hole length.
If the exclusion of this information
is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
Not applicable – the release does not include new
exploration results from drilling.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement
Not applicable – the release does not include new
exploration results from drilling.
