Investor presentation & Managing Director Webinar Video
Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR) (“Investigator” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide
an investor presentation ahead of a roadshow in Melbourne and Sydney commencing 16
September 2025 to institutional investors.
For further information, please refer to a webinar video recorded on 11 September 2025 by the
Managing Director Lachlan Wallace which covers the Strategic Outlook for the Company and a
detailed report on the Paris Silver Project DFS Reset.
View the recorded webinar at this link: Investigator Resources (ASX:IVR) Investor Update
What the webinar covers (brief overview)
•
Strategy focus: Clear precious-metals thesis with silver at the centre; disciplined approach
to any complementary opportunities.
•
Paris DFS reset: Capturing value from higher silver prices and secured water, delivering a
leaner, financeable flowsheet and fast-tracked path to first silver via parallel permitting.
•
Processing simplification: Illustrative changes under assessment including simplified
comminution and stockpiling, and a shift to a wet tailing storage facility to lower capex/opex,
power demand and complexity.
•
Throughput trade-offs: Right-sizing the mine plan with a finance-first lens before detailed
engineering to produce a DFS that is credible to financiers and supports rapid funding.
•
Permitting progress: The Company is engaging early with SA regulators to ensure studies
are adequately scoped and is conducting permitting workstreams in parallel with the DFS to
shorten the path to construction and first silver.
•
Exploration: 15km Paris Silver Corridor providing district-scale upside, with recent gravity
surveys at Athena now under evaluation ahead of drill planning; early-stage work advancing
at the proximal Uno Morgan silver project; and drilling scheduled to commence next quarter
at the Curnamona gold-copper targets.
ASX Release – Investigator
•
Newsflow: Regular DFS workstream updates (pit design, flowsheet, throughput,
power/water), regulatory milestones, and near-term exploration results.
The Company confirms that the webinar provides context and detail consistent with recently
released strategy and project updates on 9 September 2025, and does not contain new
information that is materially different from the Company’s prior disclosures.
Approved for release by the Board of Directors.

ASX Release – Investigator
About Investigator Resources
Investigator’s 100% owned Paris Silver Project is located 70km north of the rural township of
Kimba on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. The Paris Silver Project, with a JORC 2012 resource
of 24Mt @ 73g/t silver and 0.41% lead for 57Mozs silver and 99kt lead, is a shallow high-grade
silver deposit amenable to open pit mining, providing outstanding exposure to a metal with strong
commodity, renewable energy and manufacturing demand.
With positive outcomes of the Paris Project’s Pre-Feasibility Study as reported in November 2021,
the company is undertaking the work required to complete a Definitive Feasibility Study, whilst
continuing to progress exploration proximal to Paris and across adjacent significant ground
holdings within South Australia.

With detox at the TSF, less

Eliminating waste.
Example: Use plant to

Just some of the ways we are now
attacking the flow sheet to reduce capital

Note: this is a work in progress, and not all examples may advance to the final flow sheet
Exploiting the Grade Tonnage curve
Lower opex in the process
plant, drives lower cut-off
grade.
Steep slope around the
cut-off grade#1 has
potential to bring more
ounces into the plan from
the same pit design;
meaning more silver into
the rising price
environment.

# 1 - ASX announcement 5 July 2023
Throughput: Optimised for Finance, Not Just Engineering
Finance-first sizing:
throughput options tested against lender benchmarks, not just technical scale.
Stress-tested plans:
downside scenarios run across price, costs, and production.
Sweet spot focus:
targeting the configuration that maximises value and fundability.
Sized for bankability — throughput chosen to
meet lender benchmarks and maximise value
14
Permitting in Parallel: Fast-Tracking First Silver
Early engagement:
MLA discussions already underway with the SA Government to ensure studies
scoped correctly.
Concurrent studies:
DFS, MLA, and PEPR workstreams advancing together to avoid rework.
Accelerated pathway:
structuring approvals to shorten the timeline to first silver.
Permitting integrated with DFS — reducing risk,
saving time, bringing first silver forward

Exploration: Paris is just the beginning

Why Silver? Why Investigator?
High-grade project in a Tier-1 location
Rising silver prices have the potential to transform already strong project economics
DFS is targeting that upside — expanding the pit and bringing more silver into the mine plan
A 15km silver district is emerging around Paris
Next Steps:
• Pathway to production: DFS and permitting underway
• District growth: Geophysics at Athena, followed by drilling in the Paris Silver Corridor
• New frontiers: First drilling campaign at Curnamona, and early exploration at the Uno Morgans project
