Company Transformation and Strategic Repositioning

According to the filing, in May 2025 three directors and a cornerstone investor recapitalised the entity then known as Bastion Minerals Limited to pursue gold acquisitions in Australia and New Zealand. The company subsequently rebranded as Vita Resources, consolidated its capital structure, and established what it describes as a lean operating model. The filing states the company is committed to exiting non-core international assets to focus on Australia and New Zealand gold projects, with a stated goal of delivering shareholder value through disciplined project evaluation, acquisition, execution and advancement.

Australia and New Zealand Gold Portfolio

The filing identifies the Ninnis Gold Project in Western Australia as part of the company's core Australian and New Zealand gold portfolio. In New Zealand, the company disclosed a partnership with Otago Gold, with a Heads of Agreement signed in mid-2026, and noted a Bendigo application in Central Otago, New Zealand. The filing describes the company as an emerging Australian and New Zealand gold company and states that the next phase of growth is underway following its entrance into New Zealand. The presentation notes the market valuation is anticipated to reflect the repositioning and growing project pipeline.

Non-Core International Assets Identified for Exit

The filing discloses three non-core international assets the company is seeking to exit: the ICE Polymetallic Project in Canada, the Mariner Copper Project in Canada, and a REE and Copper Project in Sweden. The filing separately references mineral resources for an ICE Copper-Gold Project in Canada, extracted from an company update dated 11 June 2025. The company confirmed it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects information included in the original market announcement, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
