Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project.
(100 % Owned)
Overview
The Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project is Zenith’s flagship Western Australian gold asset, located ~400km east of Perth and ~80km south of Southern Cross within the Southern Cross–Forrestania Greenstone Belt.
Zenith has defined a JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 21.3Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 675,000oz of gold (see ASX announcement dated 19 February 2026) across the consolidated Dulcie corridor, more than doubling the previous DFN-only resource. Importantly, the entire current Mineral Resource is located on granted Mining Leases. The resource extends across a continuous ~6km mineralised corridor and comprises Dulcie Far North, Dulcie North and Dulcie.
The Project benefits from a strategic location within one of Western Australia’s most active and consolidating gold districts, with sealed road access, nearby power and water, established regional workforce and multiple operating gold processing facilities within trucking distance, including Marvel Loch and Edna May.
Zenith has further strengthened its position through completion and formal registration of the M77/599 acquisition (see ASX announcement dated 11 May 2026), securing a key previously untested corridor position between Dulcie North and Dulcie. The acquisition unified the core ~6km strike extent of the Dulcie Shear Zone on granted Mining Leases under Zenith control for the first time. A planned ~35-hole, ~5,000m RC drilling programme is designed to test continuity across this central corridor and support further resource growth.
The Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project benefits from several key strategic advantages:
- Granted Mining Leases & Development Pathway:
The entire 675koz Au Mineral Resource is located on granted Mining Leases with existing heritage agreements and established permitting pathways, materially shortening the pathway toward potential development. - Established Infrastructure & Processing Access:
The Project has sealed road access and is located within trucking distance of multiple operating gold processing facilities, including Marvel Loch and Edna May. Nearby power, established haulage routes and proximity to Southern Cross support low-capital development optionality. - District-Scale Gold System:
Drilling has confirmed a large coherent gold system extending across a continuous ~6 km mineralised corridor comprising multiple stacked shallow-dipping lodes within the Dulcie Shear Zone. - Significant Resource Growth Potential:
The current Mineral Resource occupies only a portion of Zenith’s broader prospective landholding within the Forrestania Belt. Multiple parallel shear zones, regional geochemical anomalies and untested structural targets provide clear potential for further resource growth. - Strategic Scale & Optionality:
The scale of the consolidated Mineral Resource, shallow open-pit geometry and proximity to infrastructure provide a strong foundation to assess staged open-pit mining, toll treatment and future standalone development scenarios.

Recent RC drill holes with assays pending are shown alongside previous drilling and demonstrate continuity of mineralisation down dip and along strike. The section highlights the broad, coherent nature of the Dulcie gold system and the potential for further resource growth and resource confidence improvements through ongoing drilling.
The Project also sits within one of Western Australia’s most active and consolidating gold districts. Multiple surrounding deposits, operating mines and recent corporate transactions continue to reinforce the strategic significance of the Forrestania region. Zenith believes the current market valuation does not adequately reflect the scale, strategic position and development optionality of the Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project. As a result, the Company commenced a formal strategic review process in May 2026 to assess a range of strategic, corporate and asset-level alternatives aimed at maximising shareholder value, with Argonaut appointed as financial adviser. Operations, drilling, permitting and advancement activities continue as normal during the review process.
The Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project is now positioned as Zenith’s primary value driver and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold opportunities within the Forrestania Belt. With a defined 675,000 oz Mineral Resource, granted Mining Leases, expanding district-scale land position and multiple upcoming drilling catalysts, Zenith believes Dulcie provides a strong platform for continued resource growth and advancement toward development.
Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 2012)
On 19 February 2026, Zenith announced a maiden consolidated JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project (see ASX: ZNC announcement dated 19 February 2026 titled “Zenith Defines 675,000 oz Gold Mineral Resource on Granted Mining Leases at Consolidated Dulcie Project”). The estimate incorporated maiden Mineral Resources for Dulcie and Dulcie North together with an updated Mineral Resource for Dulcie Far North..
| Deposit | Tonnes (Mt) | Grade (Au g/t) | Contained Gold (koz) |
| Dulcie Far North (DFN) | 8.7 | 1.1 | 300 |
| Dulcie North (DN) | 2.8 | 0.9 | 75 |
| Dulcie | 9.8 | 1.0 | 300 |
| Total | 21.3 | 1.0 | 675 |
Table 1: Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate reported at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade (see ASX: ZNC announcement dated 19 February 2026 titled “Zenith Defines 675,000 oz Gold Mineral Resource on Granted Mining Leases at Consolidated Dulcie Project”). The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Mr John Horton FAusIMM (CP) of ResEval Pty Ltd in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition). Mineral Resources are not Ore Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Mineral Resource more than doubled the previously defined resource base at DFN and established critical mass across the broader Dulcie corridor. Importantly, the entire current Mineral Resource is located on granted Mining Leases, which Zenith believes materially shortens the pathway toward potential development studies and future mining approvals.
The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared by independent consultant Mr John Horton FAusIMM (CP) of ResEval Pty Ltd in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition). The estimate was based on drilling completed by Zenith and historical operators across the Dulcie corridor, including:
- 82 RC drill holes completed between July and November 2025;
- Extensive historical RAB, aircore and RC drilling;
- Detailed geological and structural interpretation of stacked shallow-dipping lodes;
- Three-dimensional wireframing and inverse distance squared grade interpolation;
- Geological modelling constrained by lithology, alteration and structural controls.
The Mineral Resource was underpinned by Zenith’s largest drilling campaign to date, comprising approximately 12,621 m of RC drilling across DFN, Dulcie North and Dulcie. Drilling confirmed a broad, coherent mineralised system with predictable stacked lodes extending over kilometre-scale strike lengths.
The current Mineral Resource remains open along strike and at depth. The broad geometry, shallow dip and continuity of the mineralised lodes provide strong support for additional drilling aimed at both expanding the resource base and improving geological confidence.
Strategic M77/599 Corridor Acquisition
Zenith further strengthened its strategic position in May 2026 through completion and formal registration of the acquisition of Mining Lease M77/599, securing a key previously untested corridor position between Dulcie North and Dulcie.
The M77/599 acquisition unified the core ~6 km strike of the Dulcie Shear Zone under Zenith control for the first time and is considered highly prospective for linking mineralisation between existing deposits.
The acquired tenure contains approximately:
- ~600 m of untested strike between Dulcie North and Dulcie;
- Additional interpreted mineralised trends associated with the Scott’s Grey position;
- Strong geophysical and structural continuity between existing Mineral Resource areas.
A planned ~35-hole (~5,000 m) RC drilling programme has been designed to directly test continuity across the M77/599 corridor and target additional resource growth.

The figure shows the interpreted ~600 m primary trend and ~900 m Scott’s Grey trend together with the proposed RC drill programme designed to test continuity between existing Mineral Resource areas. Background colours represent the current Dulcie Inferred Mineral Resource block model (Au g/t), highlighting the potential for M77/599 to materially expand and unify mineralisation across the broader Consolidated Dulcie corridor.
Tenure, Ownership & Royalty Structure
The Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project comprises a combination of wholly owned Mining Leases and strategically acquired subsurface mineral rights agreements.
Dulcie Far North (DFN)
Zenith acquired the granted Mining Lease M77/1292 in January 2023 and controls:
- 100% of gold rights below approximately 6 metres from surface;
- 100% of all other mineral rights, including lithium, from surface.
The DFN structure includes:
- A 2% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty payable on gold and lithium production below the retained surface rights area;
- A 0.125% net profit-based royalty associated with the Native Title agreement.
Dulcie North & Dulcie
Zenith subsequently secured subsurface mineral rights agreements over:
- M77/1290 (Dulcie North)
- M77/581
- M77/1246
- M77/1250
- Additional associated tenure
Under these agreements, Zenith controls:
- Gold rights below approximately 8 metres from natural surface;
- Rights to undertake exploration and future mining activities within the subsurface rights area.
These arrangements allowed Zenith to rapidly consolidate the broader Dulcie corridor while maintaining a clear pathway toward potential full ownership and future development optionality.
Exploration & Development Potential
The Consolidated Dulcie Gold Project represents only a portion of Zenith’s broader highly prospective landholding within the Forrestania Belt. Multiple additional mineralised trends and parallel shear systems remain underexplored outside the current Mineral Resource footprint, including regional targets identified across the broader Split Rocks tenure package.
Key growth opportunities include:
- Expansion drilling along the broader Dulcie Shear Zone;
- Testing parallel mineralised shear systems identified within the Split Rocks tenure package;
- Resource growth through infill and extensional drilling;
- Potential conversion of Inferred Resources to higher confidence classifications;
- Evaluation of toll treatment and staged development pathways;
- Regional reassay programmes targeting new discoveries from historical lithium drilling datasets.
The Project also benefits from its strategic location within one of Western Australia’s most active and consolidating gold districts. Multiple surrounding gold deposits, operating mines and recent corporate transactions continue to reinforce the strategic significance of the Forrestania region.
