16 December 2025. Battery, base and precious metals exploration company Yugo Metals Limited (ASX:YUG) (Yugo or the Company) is pleased to confirm its dual listing on the Frankfurt and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges (FRA, DUS: L71) and provide an update on the ongoing drilling program at the Sinjakovo Project in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

 

Highlights:

 

-          Yugo confirms its dual listing on the Frankfurt and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges, while maintaining a primary listing on the ASX.

-          The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of Europe’s largest stock exchanges and increases Yugo’s exposure to European institutional and retail investors at a time of significant investor interest in base and precious metal projects that can potentially supply European demand.

-          Drilling is in progress on the first (of three prepared) drilling pads.

-          Three initial diamond drillholes have been completed from the first drilling pad. Drillhole KVDD001 has intersected 1.8m drilling width of silver-lead-zinc mineralisation from 27.7m depth.

-          Additional two drillholes are designed to further test the target from the same drilling pad, commencing immediately.

 

Listing on German Stock Exchanges

 

Yugo has completed the dual listing of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Frankfurt and Dusseldorf Stock Exchanges. The dual listing will increase Yugo’s exposure to European institutional and retail investors at a time of significant investor interest in base and precious metal projects that can potentially supply European demand.

 

The Company has also appointed Stefan Lindham, principal at Aktiencheck.de AG, as the Company’s European investor relations advisor to assist in broadening its investor base in Europe.

 

Yugo’s Executive Director & Interim CEO, Petar Tomašević, commented:

 

“The dual listing allows another pathway for investment and increases Yugo’s exposure to European investors who have strongly supported our recent capital raisings. The current European investment demand highlights their significant interest for growth opportunities in the base and precious metal sector that Yugo offers and we look forward to welcoming new European Company shareholders”.

 

Drilling commenced

 

Drilling is in progress on the first of the three drilling pads. To date, three initial diamond drillholes have been completed for total ~230m. Drilling is progressing at a steady pace and without technical issues.

 

Drillhole KVDD001 (the most eastern of three drillholes) has intersected silver- zinc-lead mineralisation with over 1.8m width of sphalerite and galena from 27.7m depth, comprising dissemination (1-5% total), including 0.2m of semi-massive mineralisation (30-40%) immediately adjacent to the 0.3m core loss interval. The central of the three holes (KVDD002) has intersected weak mineralisation (1-5%) over 0.9m drilling width from 22.6m depth. The most western hole (KVDD003) has intersected a ~2m void at the target depth, possibly entering an unrecognised medieval mining tunnel.

Figure 5: Drillhole KVDD001, drill core pieces (~10x5cm) showing blue-grey galena and sphalerite, with minor yellow chalcopyrite specs (interval 28.7-28.9m depth).

 

Mineralisation intersected comprises dominant sphalerite and silver-rich galena, with minor chalcopyrite and antimony-tetrahedrite. It is spatially associated to proximal barite-siderite-manganese alteration. Host rock to mineralisation are carbonate rocks (marble, ankerite-limestone and limestone). Mineralisation is gently dipping to south- west.

 

Drillholes have not been sampled yet. First samples are expected to be submitted to ALS, Serbia, by the end of 2025. First assay results are expected to be reported in early- February 2026.

 

Additional two drillholes (50m length each, from the same drilling pad) are designed to further test the target near drillhole KVDD001, commencing immediately. Once completed and success dependent, the drilling rig will move onto the second drilling pad to test the north-west part of Kovacevac prospect.

 

Yugo’s Executive Director & Interim CEO, Petar Tomašević, commented:

 

“Even though it is early days, the initial scout drilling has intersected a promising zone of mineralisation, reinforcing our confidence in the potential for a significant polymetallic discovery at the Sinjakovo Project. Building on initial encouraging intercepts, we are advancing with drilling along the most favourable trend, with the aim of unlocking further value and moving closer to a successful outcome”.

 

Cautionary statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. Please refer to Annexure A “Visual Observations”.

Comments:

 

-         Drillhole collars have not been surveyed with DGPS yet as drilling is still in progress on current drilling pad; currently showing planned coordinates in the table.

-         Coordinate system used is Gauss-Kruger Zone 7 (QGIS CS: EPSG 3908), which is one of common coordinate systems used in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Description

4

Photo showing two coretrays of drillcore (PQ diameter). Galena-sphalerite mineralisation intersected from 27.7m to 29.5m (1.8m drilling length) is disseminated and fracture-controlled, generally 1-5% total galena-sphalerite content. A narrow interval from 28.7m to 28.9m (adjacent to 0.3m core loss interval) contains 30-40% total galena and sphalerite, as well as visible specs of chalcopyrite (1-2% overall). Albeit it is visually challenging to discern, but in lines with previous sampling and

mineralogical reports from Kovacevac prospect, it is expected that galena from this area contains notable silver content, as well as antimony-rich tetrahedrite.
