Approximately 20 Diamond Drill Holes (DDH) totalling up to 2,380m remains in planning to follow the RC drilling
(Phase #2). In the interim, 1:2000 scale field mapping and rock chip sampling of the Carmen Main area and along
strike to the NE and SW on strike to the CT Thrust as well as parts of the Higueritas Belt have commenced to identify
structural controls that may be associated with the high grade Cu Oxide and Sulphide mineralisation.
The outcome from the mapping and selected areas for sampling or trenching will determine if any adjustment of
the planned DDH is required and will also set the order of Phase #2 drilling priorities3

Results
Phase #1 of the Maiden Drilling Campaign has been completed consisting of 37 RC holes drilled totalling 3,401m.
The results of the higher grade intersections from the drill program have been summarised below (Table 1). Refer
to Table 4 for further details of the results of Phase #1 drilling.
Table 1: Carmen Main Higher Grade Intercepts
Overall, the RC drilling results validated the historical Cu Oxide and Cu Sulphide intersections used in the Carmen
NI 43-101 MRE and confirmed the higher grades contained within the sulphide mineralisation. Drilling along the
downdip margins of the CT Thrust has confirmed the continuity of the Cu oxide ore data used in the historic
Carmen NI 43-101 MRE, and indicates mineralisation remains open at depth, outlining the potential to add
resources in the sulphide section of the ore body.
The results of the last six hole of the RC drilling program have shown the following:
Carmen Main Results
1. Testing down dip extent of the mineralisation within the Copper Oxide Zone (COZ) and CT Thrust at
depth.
Drill holes CCRC-25-035 and CCRC-25-036 successfully tested/confirmed (Table 2) the down dip extensions of
the COZ located within western extent of the Carmen NI 43-101 MRE (Figure 1). The significant mineralisation
observed in both holes suggest that the western side (down dip) remains open and with further drilling and
verification, could potentially add significant oxide/sulphide resources additional to the Carmen NI 43-101 MRE
(Figure 2).
Table 2: Results comparison of twin CCRC/IPBX holes
Both holes were extended to test the CT Thrust which is believed to be the conduit or main feeder for the copper
mineralisation within the Carmen Main zone. Both holes intersected the CT Thrust targets but the zones did not
contain any anomalous copper mineralisation. This suggests that these fault structures and other secondary
NNW, N/S, and NNE striking faults are potentially part of a complex system; and that intersections between faults
structurally control the mineralisation that is propagating along the CT Thrust. The possible outcome is a shoot
direction plunging steeply along the line of intersection between the CT Thrust and other cross-cutting faults.

2. Deeper RC holes on section 10,000mNE (Figure 2) further confirmed Cu sulphide potential at depth
and northern oxide extension
Drill hole CCRC-25-033 was drilled vertically as partial infill and confirm the mineralisation between holes TAB
01A (Historical Drill Hole) and CCRC-25-030 (Maiden Drill Campaign RC hole). The hole intersected strong
mineralisation (Image 1) and the assays confirmed the high grade Cu sulphide mineralisation observed from the
immediate surrounding holes (Figure 3).
Significant intercepts of Cu Oxide and Cu Sulphide mineralisation were observed starting from 32m depth and
below. The deeper RC drilling on the 10,000mNE section confirmed the potential of the Cu sulphide mineralisation
that remains open at depth and will be a prime target for the Phase #2 diamond drilling program.
Drill hole CCRC-25-034 was drilled approximately 50m to the north of hole CCRC-25-033 (Figure 4). The drill hole
intersected the Cu oxide/sulphide transition zone within the meta-sediments from 79m and is open at depth. The
metasediment and andesite contact was intersected at 102m (CTTF). The hole was then extended past 200m to
test the Tabaco Fault but no further copper mineralisation was intersected. The drilling suggests that the
mineralisation is open to the west and that there may be a shoot controlling the mineralisation that is plunging
steeply in the NNW direction. This will be tested during the next phase of Diamond Drilling.

Higueritas Prospect
1. Surface Rock Chip and Panel Sampling
The Higueritas Belt is 7.5km long, from 0.5 to 1km wide and sub parallels the Carmen-Tabaco Belt. There has been
limited historical work conducted over this area. Reconnaissance mapping has revealed copper mineralisation on
surface outcrops contained within crack fissures/fractures and breccias that may have resulted from isoclinal en-
echelon folding of the andesite units. Major NE/SW and N/S striking structures observed appear to represent
folding hinge lines, spatially coincident with a strong IP chargeability anomaly. These folding structures may
represent possible pathways for the Cu mineralisation to travel to the surface from a source at depth.
Rock chip and panel sampling assay results over the shallow copper workings have been received and illustrated
below (Figure 5). The assay results are strongly anomalous with up to 1.4% Cu.
Mapping and geochemical soil sampling along the Higueritas Belt have been planned to define other drill targets
for the next drilling campaigns. There are 4 distinct strong IP anomalies along the belt varying from 0.5-1.5km long
and approximately 5km in total strike length.
Figure 5: Higueritas Prospect surface rock chip and panel sampling results
2. Drill hole CCRC-025-032
Drill hole CCRC-25-032 was originally planned to test the top of the strong continuous IP anomaly at depth. The
purpose of the hole was 2-fold (Figure 6):

• to test directly below the surface copper workings; and,
• to drill down to 200-250m to test the IP anomaly
The hole commenced in andesitic rocks and intersected a structure with significant fault gouge at 49m. This fault
zone unfortunately caused repeated pinching of the drill string with the hole continuously collapsing causing
extended delays. Consequently, the hole was abandoned at 119m. A deep diamond hole (500m) has been planned
to test the IP anomaly in the next phase of drilling.

Permitting and Project Development Studies
Norfolk previously updated the market on the parallel work streams to exploration being the application for a DIA
via The National Geology and Mining Service of Chile (Sernageomin); as required by all mining projects in
exploration stage, which outlines the proposed exploration and resource development activities over a period of
five years. This remains on track to be submitted to authorities early this year.
Another work stream with a view to de-risking and enabling future development at Carmen Copper are preliminary
investigations into water supply. The contracted study will soon be completed with Cormiquim SpA providing the
Company with an evaluation matrix of future water supply options which will consider sourcing water from within
the project area and external third-party options inclusive of third-party consortium desalination projects.

Next Steps
A 1:2000 Surface mapping and Rock Chip sampling program is underway and will concentrate on the Carmen Main
Sector and up to 3km along strike of the CT Thrust to the NE and SW. Concentration will be focused on detailed
structural mapping of N/S, NNW faults, shears, fractures, bedding, and lithological contacts. The detailed
structural mapping will result in essential structural data necessary for building a structural model and the control
on Cu Oxide and sulfide mineralization at the Carmen Project.
Attention will additionally be focused on different host rock lithology, principally the meta-sediments known to
host Cu Oxide located within the hanging wall of the CT thrust as well as sub-volcanic intrusive dacite and intrusive
breccias known to host important high grade Cu sulfide mineralization spatially associated with the CT Thrust.
The overall short term objective is to improve the understanding of structural controls on mineralization, thereby
improving target definition for the upcoming Phase #2 of the Maiden Drilling Campaign and subsequent drill
campaigns leading to important new definition of Cu Oxide and Cu Sulfide mineralization within the Carmen Main
sector and several other targets along strike to the NE and SW along the 7.5km long Carmen-Tabaco Belt.
RC Drilling during Phase #1 RC drilling has validated the historic 2003-2006 IPBX drilling which was used in the
historic 2007 NI43-101 Cu Oxide MRE at the Carmen Project. The company remains focused on the long term goal
of increasing the tonnage of Cu Oxide and anticipates the inclusion of a significant Cu Sulphide ore component
as it works towards an updated JORC compliant MRE.

Carmen Copper Project
The Carmen Copper Project (CCP) is located in the Huasco Province, Atacama Region in Chile. The Project
encompasses twenty-two contiguous exploration and exploitation licenses (Figure 8) totalling 46.6km2
. There are
multiple mineralised targets over an extensive strike length with intensive copper mineralisation from surface.
Copper is essential for various sectors, including electric vehicles, renewable energy, and infrastructure, all of
which are seeing significant growth. The CCP is in the Huasco Province, Atacama Region in Chile, which is
currently the world's largest copper producing nation (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/top-10-copper-producers-country).
Only 16km to the northeast of the CCP is the Nueva Unión joint venture between Teck and Newmont. Nueva Unión
is currently developing the multi-billion-dollar Relincho and Fortuna deposits (Figure 7) with proven and probable
mineral reserves classified in accordance with NI 43-101 totalling approximately 16.6 billion pounds of copper, 8.9
million ounces of gold, and 464 million pounds of molybdenum (See Annexure A and https://www.teck.com/news/news-
releases/2015/goldcorp-and-teck-combine-el-morro-and-relincho-projects-in-chile).

further investigation and follow-up drilling programs. Norfolk is aiming to establish the Carmen Copper Project as
a low-cost, high-margin, value-accretive copper heap leaching operation producing copper cathode at the mine
gate.
The Carmen-Tabaco Belt (Figure 9) is approximately 8.5km long and most Cu-Ag±Au mineralisation is spatially
related to NE/SW, N/S and NW trending structures and fractured meta-sedimentary host rocks at surface, and in
the old workings. Cu Oxide mineralisation is mainly hosted in calc-silicate altered and locally skarnified meta-
sediments and found as fracture coatings. Cu Sulphide mineralisation has been intercepted in both meta-
sediments and locally andesite host rocks in the Hanging wall of the CT Thrust, as well as in dacite porphyritic
bodies found deeper in the vertical section spatially associated with the CT Thrust plane. Cu-Sulphide
mineralisation is found as disseminated and clotty, and locally veinlet style mineralisation and includes copper +
silver ± gold mineralisation.

The Higueritas Belt (Figure 9) is approximately 7.5km long, from 0.5 to 1km wide and sub parallels the Carmen-
Tabaco Belt. Sporadic old workings are known from this area, but no drilling is available, with data limited to
geophysics, and some rock samples.
Locally, around Carmen area, copper is mainly hosted within a banded calc-silicate hornfels + skarn unit
containing three prominent chalcopyrite-magnetite-pyrite bands, and in epidote and calc-silicate altered
sedimentary and volcanic units. The lowermost calc-silicate band hosts most copper occurrences including the
COZ. Silicified volcanics and quartz-feldspar porphyritic rhyolite units also host significant copper locally (Figure
10).
In January 2007, SRK delivered a resource estimate in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 for
the COZ located within Carmen Main with a combined Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) (Oxide and Secondary
Enrichment; Indicated + Inferred) of 5.6Mt at 0.6% Cu, as shown in Table 3.
Table 3: Carmen NI 43-101 MRE
Cautionary Statement - Carmen NI 43-101 MRE
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.12.9, the Company provides the following cautionary statement regarding
the Carmen NI 43-101 MRE shown in Table 3:
• The Carmen NI 43-101 MRE is a foreign estimate and is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code;
• A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a mineral resources in
accordance with the JORC Code; and
• It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign estimate will be able
to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code.
Within the Carmen Tabaco Belt, the Carmen NI 43-101 MRE has been defined over 600m of strike, to a depth of
30m in the COZ. The Carmen NI 43-101 MRE excludes historic higher-grade drilling and covers no more than 20%
of the COZ. The COZ presents as potentially continuous between drill holes and sections along structural and
lithology-controlled zones, which are mainly sub-parallel to the Tabaco Thrust.
