About this update from Forgent Plc
7 July 2026 Forgent plc ("Forgent" or the "Company") Drilling Programme Completed at Peak Hills Gold-Copper Project Forgent plc (AIM: FORG), the technology-led energy transition company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the Phase 1 drilling programme at the Company's Peak Hills gold-copper project in Western Australia. As previously announced, the Phase 1 programme was designed to test multiple high-priority targets across the Karalundi, Junction and Curleys prospects. The programme has focused on validation of historic exploration results, extension of known mineralisation and evaluation of additional mineralised zones across the broader project area, to advance the Company's understanding of the gold-copper potential at Peak Hills. The programme comprised 40 drill holes for a total of approximately 2,680 metres , with drill depths of up to 100 metres. A combination of aircore ("AC") and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling techniques was utilised, with RC drilling employed where hard ground conditions prevented effective aircore drilling. 1,587 samples, a combination of 3m composite and single metre samples from the drilling programme have been submitted to a Perth-based independent laboratory for assay. The Company will provide a further update once assay results have been received and interpreted. About the Peak Hills Project The Peak Hills project is a large-scale gold and copper exploration project covering approximately 163 km² across five granted tenements in Western Australia.
