Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited (ASX:VSR) released an ASX announcement on 11 September 2026 detailing encouraging initial results from first-stage field work at the El Dinero prospect within its Meekatharra Project in Western Australia. Field reconnaissance identified malachite-rich, highly weathered gossanous material at multiple locations within an approximately 100-metre area. Portable XRF (pXRF) analysis of four selected copper-mineralised rock samples returned indicative copper readings ranging from 1.88% to 8.31% Cu. Laboratory analysis of 40 rock samples collected during the programme is now underway, with 36 targeting gold mineralisation and four copper-mineralised samples submitted for detailed assay.

El Dinero Field Results

Field reconnaissance at El Dinero identified malachite-rich gossanous material across multiple locations within approximately 100 metres. Portable XRF analysis of four selected copper-mineralised sample portions returned the following indicative copper readings: sample GS000546 at 1.88% Cu; GS000547 at 4.91% Cu; GS000548 at 5.30% Cu; and GS000549 at 8.31% Cu. These readings are from selected visibly copper-mineralised portions of the samples and are semi-quantitative only — laboratory analysis is required to determine representative copper grades. In total, 40 rock samples were collected during the programme, with 36 targeting gold mineralisation and four targeting copper-mineralised zones. All samples have been submitted for laboratory analysis.

Historical Context and Follow-Up Plans

The El Dinero results build on previous exploration at the prospect, where laboratory rock-chip assays announced in June 2024 confirmed copper-gold mineralisation including up to 2.57% Cu and 2.25 g/t Au from sample BRK00061. The current field observations therefore represent follow-up evidence of copper mineralisation at an established copper-gold target. The company's immediate priority is completing laboratory analysis of the 40 collected samples and returning to the field to conduct systematic mapping and sampling to assess the extent and continuity of the copper-gold mineralised system and develop targets for potential drilling.

About the Company

Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited is an ASX-listed explorer focused on the Meekatharra Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The Meekatharra district has a long history of gold and base metal production and exploration. Voltaic's Chairman Daniel Raihani emphasised that El Dinero is not a new copper occurrence — previous laboratory assays already confirmed copper-gold mineralisation — and that the latest work provides a clear basis for systematic follow-up.

Risks

pXRF readings are semi-quantitative and were taken from selected visibly copper-mineralised portions of samples — they are not representative of average grade across the sample or broader zone. Laboratory assays may return lower or more variable results.

The identified mineralisation is described as predominantly supergene enrichment — a near-surface secondary process. Whether economic primary mineralisation exists at depth requires drilling to determine.

El Dinero is currently defined over approximately 100 metres of gossanous outcrop. Systematic mapping is required to establish the true extent and strike length of the mineralised system before drill targets can be generated.

Voltaic is a small-cap explorer with limited disclosed cash resources. Advancing El Dinero through systematic mapping, further sampling, and ultimately drilling will require ongoing capital.

Previous exploration at El Dinero last occurred in 2024. No drilling has been conducted at this specific prospect, meaning the depth extent, geometry, and grade of any resource is entirely undefined.

What to Watch Ahead

Laboratory assay results for all 40 rock samples collected — particularly the four copper-mineralised samples submitted for analysis. These will confirm or contextualise the pXRF readings.

Results from the 36 gold-focused rock samples, which may reveal the gold endowment of the broader El Dinero system alongside the copper-gold results from 2024.

Announcement of a systematic mapping and sampling programme to define the strike extent of mineralisation beyond the initial 100-metre gossanous area.

Generation and announcement of drill targets at El Dinero, which will follow from the systematic mapping and laboratory assay results.
