APC Minerals Limited (ASX: APC or the Company) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the
period ended 30 June 2025.
Managing Director and CEO, Matt Shackleton, commented: “We reported the results of the RC drilling
program at the Laverton Downs Gold Project post quarter end with encouraging intercepts and a deeper
understanding of mineralisation control. The progress we have made at Laverton Downs with this program
warrants further drilling which we are now turning our attention to effecting.
“There are many minerals project opportunities to consider, which is not surprising with the gold price
hovering around A$5,000 per ounce. We continue to rigorously test these opportunities against a lack lustre
sentiment for junior exploration investment but a strong and growing appetite for near term production
plays.
“We have positioned the restructured APC with a de minimis cost base, allowing us as much time as we can
to finalise the next steps to progress our existing projects, and to give ourselves the best opportunity to
secure the right project to advance our shareholders’ investment.”

If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: No, the Company does not expect to continue to have the current level of net
operating cash flows for the time being. The Company did through the June 2025
quarter reduce it tenement holdings in the Lake Wells area to NIL and has not
engaged drill contractors for the current or next quarter, all of which were created
material cash outflows for the Company in the current quarter.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: Yes. The Company regularly evaluates market appetite for equity investment and
manages its capital and operations accordingly. The Board anticipates it will be able
to continue to access funding as and when required, based upon the support of its
major shareholders and investment advisers.

Appendix 5B
Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report
8.8.3
Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: Yes, the Company does expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its
business objectives, as it has consistently and methodically reduced its cash flows
from tenement holdings, corporate and administration activities and other
miscellaneous activities across the past several quarters.
Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
