Gold Plans at Darlot West and Crofton Projects, WA
Cloudbreak Discovery Plc is advancing its gold exploration plans for 2026 with a 3,000-5,000m drilling program at the Darlot West project in Western Australia, targeting structural anomalies and historical workings that yielded up to 65.75 g/t Au. Additionally, at the Crofton project, the company is planning extensive surface geochemical programs following up on historical grades up to 162.25 g/t Au, aiming to generate further drill targets. Cloudbreak is fully funded for these activities, which are designed to create value and deliver tangible results throughout the year. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n20 March 2026\nCloudbreak Discovery Plc\n('Cloudbreak', or 'the Company')\n \nGold Plans at Darlot West and Crofton Projects, WA\n \nCloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, is pleased to provide an update on its planned gold exploration programs across the Company's Crofton and Darlot West projects in Western Australia.\n \nDarlot West Gold Project\n \nPlanning is underway for an initial 3,000 - 5,000m drilling program, designed to test key structural targets identified in the recent geophysical interpretation and surface exploration programs. A Program of Work (POW) application has been submitted to the WA Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE), with the POW expected to be granted in the coming weeks. The Company believes there is very significant potential for this project to host significant gold mineralisation similar to that found at the Darlot Gold Mine (Vault Minerals ASX:VAU), located only 10km to the northeast and Northern Star's ( ASX:NST) Thunderbox Gold Mine 20km to the southeast. (Figure 1).\n \nAt the Darlot Gold Mine, the bulk of mineralisation is hosted within faulting of the south-eastern limb of the folded Mt Pickering Dolerite1. Distinct similarities have been interpreted between the geological setting of Cloudbreak's Darlot West Project and the area hosting the Darlot Gold Mine, specifically the presence of folded, magnetic mafic stratigraphy (analogous to the Mt Pickering Dolerite), displaying significant fault off-sets along east-north-east and north-west structures. Areas where fold hinges are intersected by these faults, and/or coincide with favourable host units such as the magnetic dolerites, are priority exploration targets and will be the primary focus of the upcoming drill program (Figure 2). Evidence of mineralisation proximal to these targets are the numerous shallow historical gold workings where sampling carried out by the Company returned assays of up to 65.75 g/t Au (reported on 24th October 2025). Historical drilling in these areas is considered by the Company to have been too shallow and largely ineffective. Two potential porphyry targets have also been identified on the property and require further work.\n \nCompany geologists will shortly be on the ground conducting field work to assess p...
