SOUTHERN CROSS GOLD DRILLS 3.4 m @ 466 g/t GOLD AT SUNDAY CREEK

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

“SX2” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SXGC) (ASX:SX2) (OTCPK:MWSNF) (Frankfurt:MV3.F) announces

results from eight diamond drill holes from the Rising Sun and Golden Dyke and Christina prospects, at the

100%-owned Sunday Creek gold-antimony project in Victoria (Figure 7).

Michael Hudson, President & CEO, states: "These latest drill results continue to demonstrate the

exceptional potential of our Sunday Creek discovery. SDDSC161 has delivered our second highest

interval ever drilled, with 3.4 m @ 466.4 g/t AuEq including an ultra-high-grade core of 2.4 m @ 670.4 g/t

AuEq. The presence of 4,700 g/t Au over 0.2 m - our third highest individual assay - shows the remarkable

grade potential within our Golden Ladder system.

Our drilling program is strategically designed to both expand the project volume and de-risk known

high-grade zones through continuity confirmation . SDDSC156 dramatically increases the project's

mineralized volume by discovering six entirely new vein sets, while results like SDDSC161, SDDSC155A's

40 m to 50 m down dip extensions and SDDSC157's 120 m down dip extension demonstrate remarkable

continuity of our high-grade mineralization. These results consistently confirm that our very high grades

maintain their character both along strike and down dip , significantly reducing geological risk while

expanding the scale of this impressive system.”

Five Key Points

1. SDDSC161, drilled to infill mineralization with a 27 m up-dip extension at Rising Sun, hosts the

second-best interval on the project and two of the ten best intervals drilled:

o Second best interval: 3.4 m @ 466.4 g/t Au (1,585.8 AuEq g/t x m) including 2.4 m @

670.4 g/t Au.

o Third highest individual assay: 4,700 g/t Au over 0.2 m from 511.3 m.

o Ninth highest individual assay: 1,510 g/t Au over 0.3 m from 510.4 m.

2. Six new vein sets discovered between Christina and Golden Dyke in SDDSC156, highlighting

repeatability of mineralized structures.

3. Depth Extensions: Two of the reported holes (SDDSC1 55A and SDDSC157) intercepted high-

grade mineralization 40 m to 120 m below previously announced mineralization.

4. Sunday Creek's High-Grade Profile Expands: One additional +100 gram-metre AuEq intercept

and two additional 50 to 100 gram-metre AuEq intercepts bringing the project's total to 64 and 72,

respectively, further demonstrating robust grade distribution at depth.

5. Continued Exploration: Twenty-four additional holes are currently being processed and analyzed,

with eight more actively bein g drilled, continuing the systematic expansion of the project's

mineralized footprint.

Results from eight diamond drill holes SDDSC1 52, SDDSC154, SDDSC155, SDDSC155A, SDDSC156,

SDDSC157, SDDSC157A and SDDSC161 from the Rising Sun and Golden Dyke and Christina prospects,

are presented below.

Rising Sun Area

SDDSC161 delivered exceptional results with the second highest interval ever drilled at Sunday Creek,

intercepting 3.4 m @ 466.4 g/t AuEq from 508.4 m, including a higher -grade core of 2.4 m @ 671.0 g/t

AuEq from 509.5 m, plus the third highest individual assay of 4,700 g/t Au over 0.2 m (Figures 2, 3, 4 and

7). SDDSC161 was drilled 27 m up dip from SDDSC082 ( October 23, 2023 - 1.7 m @ 254.2 g/t AuEq and

1.6 m @ 500.3 g/t AuEq) and 11 m along strike from SDDSC110 (15 April, 2024 - 0.7 m @ 11.7 g/t AuEq).

• 2.4 m @ 671.0 g/t AuEq (670.4 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 509.5 m

Key Take Aways continued….

• SDDSC156 (Christina -Golden Dyke) was drilled from Christina toward Golden Dyke and

intersected a 125 m mineralized zone containing seven vein sets . Six represent entirely new

discoveries, with the standout intercept:

o 3.0 m @ 13.7 g/t AuEq (7.3 g/t Au, 2.7% Sb) from 267.8 m, including:

▪ 1.6 m @ 24.0 g/t AuEq (13.0 g/t Au, 4.6% Sb) from 267.8 m

• SDDSC155A (Rising Sun) provided critical depth extensions, delivering 40 m to 50 m down dip

continuity on two vein domains (RS05, RS15) while providing high-grade infill on a third (RS06),

highlighted by:

o 0.1 m @ 370.7 g/t AuEq (370.0 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 682.5 m

• SDDSC157 (Golden Dyke) successfully extended three vein domains (GD80, GD90, GD100) by

40 m to 120 m down dip, with the standout intercept:

o 0.4 m @ 162.6 g/t AuEq (161.9 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 647.0 m

• SDDSC152 (Rising Sun Control) was designed as a structural control hole drilled at high angles

to test dyke location. It successfully intersected 25 m of dyke and altered sediment at 940 m

vertical depth, representing a 130-170 m step-out below existing mineralization.

• Growing Project Scale: With 173 drill holes totalling 82,619 m completed since late 2020, Sunday

Creek now contains 64 intersections >100 g/t AuEq x m and 72 intersections between 50-100

g/t AuEq x m, establishing it as one of the world's premier gold-antimony discoveries.

NEWS RELEASE

This lower interval also included two of the top ten individual assays ever intercepted at Sunday Creek:

• 4,700 g/t Au over 0.2 m from 511.3 m (3rd highest on the project)

• 1,510 g/t Au over 0.3 m from 510.4 m (9th highest on the project)

SDDSC155A provided significant value by extending two mineralized vein sets 40 m to 50 m down dip and

delivering high -grade infill on a third vein set that showed impressive thickening up to 7 m true wi dth,

highlighted by a high-grade intercept of 0.1 m @ 370.7 g/t AuEq from 682.5 m. Highlights include:

o 0.3 m @ 56.1 g/t AuEq (40.3 g/t Au, 6.6% Sb) from 602.3 m, including:

• 0.2 m @ 92.3 g/t AuEq (66.0 g/t Au, 11.0% Sb) from 602.3 m

o 1.5 m @ 3.2 g/t AuEq (2.6 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 620.3 m

o 2.0 m @ 3.2 g/t AuEq (3.0 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 651.6 m, including:

• 0.6 m @ 8.5 g/t AuEq (8.0 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 653.0 m

o 1.7 m @ 1.5 g/t AuEq (1.4 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 666.0 m

o 2.0 m @ 1.7 g/t AuEq (1.6 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 670.6 m

o 4.5 m @ 6.6 g/t AuEq (5.7 g/t Au, 0.4% Sb) from 674.9 m, including:

• 2.1 m @ 11.0 g/t AuEq (9.4 g/t Au, 0.7% Sb) from 674.9 m

• 0.6 m @ 9.1 g/t AuEq (8.2 g/t Au, 0.4% Sb) from 678.7 m

o 0.1 m @ 370.7 g/t AuEq (370.0 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 682.5 m

o 5.1 m @ 1.6 g/t AuEq (1.3 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 752.8 m

SDDSC155 was abandoned at 29.3 m depth after re -entering previously drilled hole SDDSC122 and

becoming unrecoverable.

SDDSC152 served as an important south-north control hole that successfully intersected the dyke breccia

altered host 130 m to 170 m below existing drilling and intercepted mineralization on both the hanging wall

and footwall of the dyke, with intervals of 0.5 m @ 1.11 g/t Au from 1047.2 metres and 0.2 m @ 4.76 g/t Au

from 986.7 m indicating the mineralized system continues to at least 0.97 km depth on the western margins

of Rising Sun as already drill tested on the eastern side of Rising Sun.

Golden Dyke – Christina Area

SDDSC156 achieved outstanding results by intersecting a 125 m wide mineralized zone and discovering

seven vein sets, six of which were entirely new discoveries. This drill hole demonstrates the consistent

repeatability of miner alized vein sets and highlights how east -west oriented drill holes can successfully

identify new structures when following up on earlier north-south control holes.

Extended highlights include:

o 0.1 m @ 21.2 g/t AuEq (1.2 g/t Au, 8.4% Sb) from 239.2 m

o 0.9 m @ 2.6 g/t AuEq (1.9 g/t Au, 0.3% Sb) from 244.0 m

o 2.0 m @ 3.7 g/t AuEq (2.5 g/t Au, 0.5% Sb) from 359.1 m

o 2.7 m @ 2.6 g/t AuEq (0.6 g/t Au, 0.8% Sb) from 371.8 m

SDDSC154, drilled from the same collar location as SDDSC156, had limited success as it exited the

mineralized system earlier than anticipated (drilled outside the “rails of the ladder”) , intercepting only minor

mineralization of 0.9 m @ 2.7 g/t AuEq from 287.2 m in a parallel dyke structure within the hanging wall,

though it provided valuable structural information for future. Highlights include:

o 0.9 m @ 2.7 g/t AuEq (2.7 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 287.2 m

Golden Dyke Area

SDDSC157 delivered a strong result, successfully extending known mineralization with 40 m to 45 m down

dip extensions on the GD90 and GD100 vein sets and importantly achieving a 120 m down dip extension on

the GD80 vein set. Extended highlights include:

o 1.4 m @ 4.9 g/t AuEq (4.6 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 19.0 m

o 2.3 m @ 2.1 g/t AuEq (2.1 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 24.2 m

o 2.8 m @ 1.4 g/t AuEq (1.4 g/t Au, 0.0% Sb) from 908.1 m

Pending Results and Update

The drilling program continues to advance with twenty-four holes (SDDSC159, 160, 160W1, 160W2, 16 2-

172, 163A, 168W1, 169A, 169AW1, SDDGT001-005) currently being processed and analysed. Eight

additional holes (SDDSC170A, 173-179) are actively being drilled.

The drilling strategy employs a systematic approach to intersect both the dyke host structure ("ladder rails")

and associated mineralized vein sets ("ladder rungs") at optimal angles, continuing to expand the project's

mineralized footprint while improving geological understanding of the system.

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 1,054.51 Ha that forms the

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

Cumulatively, 173 drill holes for 82,619.0 m have been reported from Sunday Creek since late 2020. 5 holes

for 929 m have been drilled for geotechnical purposes. An additional 14 holes for 832.0 m from Sunday Creek

were abandoned due to deviation or hole conditions. 14 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 5,599 m were completed from

the late 1960s to 2008. The project now contains a total of sixty-four (64) >100 g/t AuEq x m and seventy-

two (72) >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 . Initially these have

been defined over 1,500 m strike of the host from Christina to Apollo prospects, of which approximately 620

m have been more intensively drill tested (Rising Sun to Apollo). At least 7 4 ‘rungs’ have been defined to

date, defined by high-grade intercepts (20 g/t to >7,330 g/t Au) along with lower grade edges. Ongoing step-

out drilling is aiming to uncover the potential extent of this mineralized 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 mineralization 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 Michael Hudson, President & CEO, 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 7 show project location, plan, longitudinal views and analysis of drill results reported here and

Tables 1 to 3 provide collar and assay data . The true thickness of the mineralized intervals reported is

approximately 50-60% 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.

Critical Metal Epizonal Gold-Antimony Deposits

Sunday Creek (Figure 2) 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 (6-12 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 g lobal mined supplies of antimony, according to

a 2023 European Union study. Antimony features 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 SXG projects. Antimony alloys with lead and tin which results in improved properties for

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

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

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

munitions.

7

NEWS RELEASE

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

2.39 ratio.

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

on antimony and antimony products. This puts pressure on Western defen ce supply chains and negatively

affects the supply of the metal and pushes 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 Exempt from Executive Order on Reciprocal Tariffs

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated notes that antimony ores and concentrates (HTSUS code 26171000) are

exempt from the April 2, 2025 US Executive Order on Reciprocal Tariffs. The exemption covers antimony

ores and concentrates as well as unwrought antimony, antimony powders, antimony waste a nd scrap, and

articles of antimony (HTSUS codes 81101000, 81102000, and 81109000).

About Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (TSXV:SXGC) (ASX:SX2)

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (TSXV:SXGC, ASX:SX2) 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 64

intersections exceeding 100 g/t AuEq x m from just 82 km of drilling. The mineralization follows a "Golden

Ladder" structure over 12 km of strike length, with confirmed continuity from surface to 1,100 m depth.

Sunday Creek’s strategic value is enhanced by its dual-metal profile, with antimony contributing 20% of the

in-situ value alongside gold. 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. Importantly, Sunday Creek can be developed primarily based on

gold economics, which reduces antimony-related risks while maintaining strategic supply potential.

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

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

gravity and flotation.

With a strong cash position, over 1,000 Ha of strategic freehold land ownership, and a large 60 km drill

program planned through Q3 2025, SXGC is well -positioned to advance this globally significant gold -

antimony discovery in a tier-one jurisdiction.

NI 43-101 Technical Background and Qualified Person

Michael Hudson, President and 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 S ite 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 g 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 and antimony content, blanks within interpreted

mineralized rock and quarter core duplicates. In addition, On Site inserts blanks and standards into the

analytical process.

NEWS RELEASE

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

have reasonable potential to be recovered at Sunday Creek, given current geochemical understanding,

historic production statistics and geologically ana logous 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 Mandalay Resources Ltd contains

two million ounces of equivalent gold (Mandalay 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 v ariables 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:

𝐴𝑢𝐸𝑞 = 𝐴𝑢 (𝑔/𝑡) + 2.39 × 𝑆𝑏 (%)

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 𝐴𝑢𝐸𝑞 = 𝐴𝑢 (𝑔/𝑡) + 2.39 × 𝑆𝑏 (%) is

appropriate to use for the initial exploration targeting of gold-antimony mineralization at Sunday Creek.
