SOUTHERN CROSS GOLD EXPANDS APOLLO TO DEPTH AND ALONG

STRIKE

Results Include 3.6 m @ 14.6 g/t Gold in Deepest Hole at Apollo

Vancouver, Canada and Melbourne, Australia — Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (“SXGC”,

“SX2” or the “Company”) (TSX:SXGC) (ASX:SX2) (OTCQX:SXGCF) (Frankfurt: MV3.F) announces

results from 12 drillholes from at the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria (Figures

1 to 6). Best results included 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq from 708.6 m in drillhole SDDSC192, the deepest east-

west oriented hole drilled into the Apollo prospect to date.

Five High Level Takeaways:

Michael Hudson, President & CEO states: "SDDSC192 is our deepest east -west hole into Apollo and

delivered 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq, including a high-grade hit of 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au , proving the system

remains robust and open at depth. Stepping down 80 m at Apollo Deeps, we intersected 11 vein sets across

Apollo East and Apollo Deeps, demonstrating exceptional continuity of this large- scale, high-grade gold-

antimony system. We've also uncovered a new mineralized zone between the Gladys and Golden Orb Faults

that returned 0.3 m @ 45.9 g/t AuEq, opening up 70 m of untested ground to the south.

“Individual samples returned exceptional antimony grades of 25.1% and 17.4% Sb alongside high-grade gold

values, reinforcing Sunday Creek's significance as a critical antimony project. Apollo continues to grow in

every direction we drill, and with mineral ization open at depth and along strike, we're only starting to see

system's potential to the east."

1. Exceptional high-grade gold hit – SDDSC192 returned 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au, 0.0%

Sb) from 708.6 m, including 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au, a high-grade hit that confirms the system continues

to deliver exceptional gold values in the deepest holes into the system, stepping down 60 m at Apollo

East and 80 m at Apollo Deeps, demonstrating the system remains robust and open at depth.

2. Discovery of a new mineral ized zone – SDDSC174B identified previously unrecognize d

mineralization between the Gladys and Golden Orb Faults, returning 0.3 m @ 45.9 g/t AuEq (34.6

g/t Au, 4.7% Sb) from 856.2 m and opening up 70 m of untested ground to the south – a significant

new exploration target.

3. Other broader intersections - 2.3 m @ 17.1 g/t AuEq (11.3 g/t Au, 2.4% Sb) from 810.0 m in

SDDSC174BW1 and 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au) from 708.6 m in SDDSC192.

4. Strong antimony and gold grades – SDDSC174BW1 returned 0.1 m @ 109.7 g/t AuEq (49.7 g/t

Au, 25.1% Sb) from 811.3 m and 0.1 m @ 83.9 g/t AuEq (42.3 g/t Au, 17.4% Sb) from 800.68 m,

highlighting the exceptional critical mineral endowment alongside high-grade gold values.

5. Apollo East continues to grow – SDDSC181 extended the mineralized corridor to approximately

150 m of east -west strike, while SDDSC179 pushed the prospective host 30 m further east,

demonstrating the system is expanding in multiple directions.

NEWS RELEASE

Drill Hole Discussion

Apollo and Apollo East Drilling

Eight drill holes are reported here that targeted the Apollo prospect from east to west orientations.

SDDSC174B successfully intersected the Apollo East zone, confirming five distinct vein sets. Critically, this

hole identified an additional mineralized zone at Apollo situated between the Gladys Fault and Golden Orb

Fault, representing previously unrecognized mineralization that offsets the system to the south in an untested

area with up to 70 m of untested significant exploration potential. Highlights included:

• 0.4 m @ 25.6 g/t AuEq (24.0 g/t Au, 0.7% Sb) from 510.7 m

• 4.0 m @ 2.1 g/t AuEq (1.6 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 520.6 m

• 6.5 m @ 1.8 g/t AuEq (1.3 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 534.5 m

• 0.3 m @ 45.9 g/t AuEq (34.6 g/t Au, 4.7% Sb) from 856.2 m

SDDSC174BW1 & SDDSC174BW2 tested a 100 m wide strike of the host within the Apollo system.

SDDSC174BW1 intersected seven vein sets, including one newly identified vein set, and returned three high-

grade cores with exceptional antimony grades of 25.1% and 17.4% Sb in individual samples. The drilling

expanded known vein sets 15 m to 20 m along strike from previously reported holes and importantly

confirmed the down-dip extension of the A139 and A141 vein sets by 40 m vertically, demonstrating robust

continuity of high-grade mineralization at depth. Highlights included:

• 8.7 m @ 1.4 g/t AuEq (0.8 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 765.3 m

• 6.4 m @ 4.3 g/t AuEq (1.7 g/t Au, 1.1% Sb) from 782.4 m

• 2.3 m @ 17.1 g/t AuEq (11.3 g/t Au, 2.4% Sb) from 810.0 m

• 1.4 m @ 8.1 g/t AuEq (0.9 g/t Au, 3.0% Sb) from 823.85 m

SDDSC174BW2 was designed south of SDDSC174BW1 and tested the previously unrecognize d offset

system between the Gladys Fault and Golden Orb Fault and identified an additional unrecognize d vein set.

Highlights included:

• 2.9 m @ 1.3 g/t AuEq (0.6 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 818.0 m

• 3.4 m @ 4.2 g/t AuEq (1.8 g/t Au, 1.0% Sb) from 825.0 m

• 3.5 m @ 4.0 g/t AuEq (1.0 g/t Au, 1.2% Sb) from 830.77 m

• 2.3 m @ 17.4 g/t AuEq (12.2 g/t Au, 2.2% Sb) from 866.45 m

The primary (p arent) holes SDDSC174 and SDDSC174A were abandoned due to excessive deviation,

prompting a wedge and directional drilling strategy focussed on high grade core confirmation and strike

expansion.

SDDSC179

SDDSC179 intersected three known vein sets approximately 40 m up-dip from the last previously known

mineralized position, confirming strong continuity of the mineralized system in Apollo East. The hole also has

extended the prospective dyke and altered sediment corridor 30 m to the east, demonstrating strike

expansion in Apollo East. Highlights included:

• 0.6 m @ 13.5 g/t AuEq (9.0 g/t Au, 1.9% Sb) from 276.22 m

• 0.4 m @ 14.0 g/t AuEq (12.4 g/t Au, 0.7% Sb) from 368.28 m

SDDSC181

SDDSC181 intersected five vein sets in Apollo East and extending this zone approximately 30 m further east.

Apollo East now demonstrates approximately 150 m of east-west strike continuity of the mineralized host,

significantly expanding the footprint of this emerging corridor. The hole also intersected peripheral

4

NEWS RELEASE

mineralization in the hanging wall of the main corridor at Apollo Deeps, indicating potential for additional

mineralized positions within the broader structural system. Highlights included:

• 15.7 m @ 2.5 g/t AuEq (1.7 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 602.2 m

• 2.7 m @ 4.2 g/t AuEq (2.4 g/t Au, 0.8% Sb) from 676.98 m

• 0.5 m @ 13.9 g/t AuEq (13.6 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 688.33 m

• 0.5 m @ 15.3 g/t AuEq (8.6 g/t Au, 2.8% Sb) from 698.68 m

SDDSC192

SDDSC192 represents the deepest east -west oriented hole into the Apollo system to date and intersected

five vein sets in Apollo East with a 60 m step-down from previous drilling, and six vein sets at Apollo Deeps

with an 80 m vertical step-down, demonstrating robust continuity at depth. Individual assay result includes a

standout intercept of 0.21 m @ 236 g/t Au, 0.69% Sb from 711.54 m further highlighting the high-grade nature

of the system and confirming that mineralization remains open at depth.

• 8.1 m @ 2.0 g/t AuEq (1.6 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 662.3 m

• 3.6 m @ 14.7 g/t AuEq (14.6 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 708.55 m

• 7.8 m @ 2.6 g/t AuEq (0.6 g/t Au, 0.8% Sb) from 921.5 m

• 5.6 m @ 2.4 g/t AuEq (2.0 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 934.55 m

Along Strike Drilling

Drilling at Sunday Creek has confirmed continuous structural architecture extending both east and west along

strike (Figure 4). SDDSC167, drilled 450 m east of Apollo, intersected seven dyke intervals over a 240 m

window before encountering a major fault structure. To the west, SDDSC183 (250 m west of Christina) and

SDDSC185 (700 m west of Christina) both returned arsenic and sul phur anomalism indicating proximity to

mineralization. SDDSC189 tested a southern parallel trend and intersected a large- scale fault containing

dyke and altered sediment clasts, confirming continuity of this secondary target with offset. Together, these

holes demonstrate the favourable structural framework across the broader system and highlight potential at

depth as regional drilling now commences.

Pending Results and Update

Nine drill rigs are currently operational on the Sunday Creek project with one additional drill rig dedicated to

regional exploration. Results are pending fro m 42 holes currently being processed and analyzed including

ten holes that are actively being drilled and two abandoned holes (Figure 2). The Company continues its

200,000 m drill program through Q1 2027.

About Sunday Creek

The Sunday Creek epizonal -style gold project is located 60 km north of Melbourne within 16,900 hectares

(“Ha”) of granted exploration tenements. SXGC is also the freehold landholder of 1, 392 Ha that forms the

key portion in and around the main drilled area at the Sunday Creek Project.

Gold and antimony form in a relay of vein sets that cut across a steeply dipping zone of intensely altered rocks

(the “host”). These vein sets are like a “Golden Ladder” structure where the main host extends between the

side rails deep into the earth, with multiple cross-cutting vein sets that host the gold forming the rungs. At

Apollo and Rising Sun these individual ‘rungs’ have been defined over 600 m depth extent from surface to

over 1,100 m below surface, are 2.5 m to 3.5 m wide (median widths) (and up to 10 m), and 20 m to 100 m

in strike.

Cumulatively, 231 drill holes for 105,091.11 m have been reported from Sunday Creek since late 2020. This

amount includes five holes for 929 m that have been drilled for geotechnical purposes and 22 holes for

2,973.77 m that were abandoned due to deviation or hole conditions. Fourteen drillholes for 2,383 m have

been reported regionally outside of the main Sunday Creek drill area. A total of 64 historic drill holes for

5

NEWS RELEASE

5,599 m were completed from the late 1960s to 2008. The project now contains a total of Seventy-two (72)

>100 g/t AuEq x m and eighty (80) >50 to 100 g/t AuEq x m drill holes by applying a 2 m @ 1 g/t AuEq

lower cut.

Our systematic drill program is strategically targeting these significant vein formations, which are currently

defined over 1,350 m strike of the host dyke/sediment (“rails of the ladder”) from Christina to Apollo prospects,

of which approximately 620 m has been more intensively drill tested (Rising Sun to Apollo). At least 94 ‘rungs’

have been defined to date, defined by high- grade intercepts (20 g/t Au to >7,330 g/t Au) along with lower

grade edges. Ongoing step- out drilling is aiming to uncover the potential extent of this minerali zed system

(Figure 5).

Geologically, the project is located within the Melbourne Structural Zone in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The regional

host to the Sunday Creek minerali zation is an interbedded turbidite sequence of siltstones and minor

sandstones metamorphosed to sub-greenschist facies and folded into a set of open north-west trending folds.

Further Information

Further discussion and analysis of the Sunday Creek project is available through the interactive Vrify 3D

animations, presentations and videos all available on the SXGC website. These data, along with an interview

on these results with President & CEO/ Managing Director Michael Hudson can be viewed at

www.southerncrossgold.com.

No upper gold grade cut is applied in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness. However,

during future Mineral Resource studies, the requirement for assay top cutting will be assessed. The Company

notes that due to rounding of assay results to one significant figure, minor variations in calculated composite

grades may occur.

Figures 1 to 6 show project location, plan and longitudinal views of drill results reported here and Tables 1

to 3 provide collar and assay data. The true thickness of the minerali zed intervals reported individually as

estimated true widths (“ETW”), otherwise they are interpreted to be approximately 65% to 90% of the sampled

thickness for other reported holes. Lower grades were cut at 1.0 g/t AuEq lower cutoff over a maximum width

of 2 m with higher grades cut at 5.0 g/t AuEq lower cutoff over a maximum of 1 m width unless specified

unless otherwise* specified to demonstrate higher grade assays.

Critical Metal Epizonal Gold-Antimony Deposits

Sunday Creek (Figure 6) is an epizonal gold-antimony deposit formed in the late Devonian (like Fosterville,

Costerfield and Redcastle), 60 million years later than mesozonal gold systems formed in Victoria (for

example Ballarat and Bendigo). Epizonal deposits are a form of orogenic gold deposit classified according to

their depth of formation: epizonal (<6 km), mesozonal (6 km to 12 km) and hypozonal (>12 km).

Epizonal deposits in Victoria often have associated high levels of the critical metal, antimony, and Sunday

Creek is no exception. China claims a 56 per cent share of global mined supplies of antimony, according to

a 2023 European Union study. Antimony fea tures highly on the critical minerals lists of many countries

including Australia, the United States of America, Canada, Japan and the European Union. Australia ranks

seventh for antimony production despite all production coming from a single mine at Costerfield in Victoria,

located nearby to all SXGC projects. Antimony alloys with lead and tin which results in improved properties

for solders, munitions, bearings and batteries. Antimony is a prominent additive for halogen-containing flame

retardants. Adequate supplies of antimony are critical to the wor ld's energy transition, and to the high- tech

industry, especially the semi -conductor and defence sectors where it is a critical additive to primers in

munitions.

In August 2024, the Chinese government announced it will place export limits from September 15, 2024 on

antimony and antimony products. This puts pressure on Western defence supply chains and negatively affect

the supply of the metal and push up pricing given China’s dominance of the supply of the metal in the global

markets. This is positive for SXGC as we are likely to have one of the very few large and high-quality projects

of antimony in the western world that can feed western demand into the future.

Antimony represents approximately 21% to 24% in situ recoverable value of Sunday Creek at an AuEq of

2.39 ratio.

About Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Limited (TSX:SXGC) (ASX:SX2) (OTCQX:SXGCF)

(Frankfurt: MV3.F)

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (TSX: SXGC, ASX: SX2, OTCQX: SXGCF), controls the Sunday

Creek Gold-Antimony Project located 60 km north of Melbourne, Australia. Sunday Creek has emerged as

one of the Western world's most significant gold and antimony discoveries, with exceptional drilling results

including 72 intersections exceeding 100 g/t AuEq x m from 105,091 km of drilling. The mineralization follows

a "Golden Ladder" structure over 12 km of strike length, with confirmed continuity from surface t o 1,100 m

depth.

Sunday Creek’s strategic value is enhanced by its dual -metal profile, with antimony contributing

approximately 20% of the in-situ value alongside gold, meaning Importantly, Sunday Creek can be developed

primarily based on gold economics, which reduces antimony-related risks while maintaining strategic supply

potential. This has gained increased significance following China's export restrictions on antimony, a critical

metal for defense and semiconductor applications. Southern Cross’ inclusion in the US Defense Industrial

Base Consortium (DIBC) and Australia's AUKUS -related legislative changes position it as a potential key

Western antimony supplier.

Technical fundamentals further strengthen the investment case, with preliminary metallurgical work showing

non-refractory mineralization suitable for conventional processing and gold recoveries of 93% to 98% through

gravity and flotation.

With a strong cash position, 1,392 Ha of strategic freehold land ownership, and a large 200 km drill program

planned through Q1 2027, SXGC is well -positioned to advance this globally significant gold- antimony

discovery in a tier-one jurisdiction.

NEWS RELEASE

NI 43-101 Technical Background and Qualified Person

Michael Hudson, President, CEO and Managing Director of SXGC, and a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy,

and Mr Kenneth Bush, Exploration Manager of SXGC and a RPGeo (10315) of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, are the

Qualified Persons as defined by the NI 43-101. They have prepared, reviewed, verified and approved the technical contents of this

release.

Analytical samples are transported to the Bendigo facility of On Site Laboratory Services (“On Site”) which operates under both an

ISO 9001 and NATA quality systems. Samples were prepared and analyzed for gold using the fire assay technique (PE01S method;

25 gram charge), followed by measuring the gold in solution with flame AAS equipment. Samples for multi-element analysis (BM011

and over-range methods as required) use aqua regia digestion and ICP -MS analysis. The QA/QC program of Southern Cross Gold

consists of the systematic insertion of certified standards of known gold content, blanks within interpreted mineralized rock and quarter

core duplicates. In addition, On Site inserts blanks and standards into the analytical process.

SXGC considers that both gold and antimony that are included in the gold equivalent calculation (“AuEq") have reasonable potential

to be recovered and sold at Sunday Creek, given current geochemical understanding, historic production statistics and geologically

analogous mining operations. Historically, ore from Sunday Creek was treated onsite or shipped to the Costerfield mine, located 54

km to the northwest of the project, for processing during WW1. The Costerfield mine corridor, now owned by Alkane Resources

(previously Mandalay Resources) contains two million ounces of equivalent gold (Mandalay Resources Q3 2021 Results), and in

2020 was the sixth highest-grade global underground mine and a top 5 global producer of antimony.

SXGC considers that it is appropriate to adopt the same gold equivalent variables as Mandalay Resources Ltd in its 2024 End of

Year Mineral Reserves and Resources Press Release, dated February 20, 2025. The gold equivalence formula used by Mandalay

Resources was calculated using Costerfield’s 2024 production costs, using a gold price of US$2,500 per ounce, an antimony price

of US$19,000 per tonne and 2024 total year metal recoveries of 91% for gold and 92% for antimony, and is as follows:

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 (𝑔𝑔/𝑡𝑡) + 2.39 × 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 (%)

Based on the latest Costerfield calculation and given the similar geological styles and historic toll treatment of Sunday Creek

mineralization at Costerfield, SXGC considers that a 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 (𝑔𝑔/𝑡𝑡) + 2.39 × 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆 (%) is appropriate to use for the initial exploration

targeting of gold-antimony mineralization at Sunday Creek.
