These landmark agreements reflect the Northern Zone Gold Project's owners' commitment to working in partnership with the Marlinyu Ghoorlie people in a spirit of goodwill and mutual respect. This is a major milestone towards the advancement of the project and a key part of what is needed to convert the tenements to a Mining Lease and our moves to open up Northern Zone to gold production in 2026 with MEGA."

About the MEGA Resources Right to Mine and Co-Operation Agreement for gold production at Northern Zone:

On the 30 September 2025, Oracle announced that it had signed a binding Right to Mine and Co-Operation Agreement with MEGA Resources (MEGA) for the right to mine (the MEGA Agreement) with respect to its 20% owned Northern Zone Gold Project.

 

Under the MEGA Agreement, MEGA will pay 100% of the costs to develop and mine at Northern Zone, including paying for all ancillary activities (which incorporates haulage of material to the point of sale, maintenance of haul roads and processing costs).

 

In return for MEGA paying for all the upfront costs at Northern Zone, any profit generated from this partnership will be split 50% to MEGA and 50% to the Project Owners.

 

In May 2023, Oracle signed a farm-in agreement with Riversgold. Riversgold advised Oracle that it had exercised its option to own the 80% interest in the Northern Zone tenement in February 2025. Northern Zone is now owned by Riversgold 80% and Oracle 20%, and this did not change with the MEGA Agreement.
