presence of substantial mineralised zones.
o Notable results, including 20.1m @ 8.22% Zn and 1.72% Pb (refer ASX Announcement
dated 24 February 2025), are outside of the Company’s existing Mineral Resource
Estimate.
Exceptional drilling results from the San Jose Mine identifying a potential feeder zone
o Drilling at La Caseta (Central zone) of San Jose Mine has returned the highest assay result
(width x grade) from a single drill hole drilled by Variscan at the Novales-Udias project to
date - 15.3m @ 17.42% Zn, 4.40% Pb (refer ASX Announcement dated 4 March 2025).
Drilling at San Jose and Udias Mines in this Quarter delivered 5 of the best-ever 20 drill holes
Strong endorsement from Government of Cantabria for the Novales-Udias Zinc Project
o Following a series of high-level meetings, the Government of Cantabria expressed strong
support for Variscan's plans to recommence mining operations.
o The Government’s endorsement provides increased confidence in the permitting pathway
for project development.
Progress towards Mine Re-start Studies at Udias and San Jose
Variscan advanced technical studies critical to mine restart initiatives, including geological
modelling, metallurgical testwork and geotechnical assessments. These efforts underpin the
Company’s objective to fast-track a return to production in northern Spain.
Variscan’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Stewart Dickson, commented:
"This has been another Quarter of significant progress on all fronts. We delivered standout drill results
from both the San Jose and Udias Mines and received strong public commitment from the Cantabrian
Government to support the re-start of mining operations. We are gaining strong operational momentum,
and our Explorer-Producer strategy is delivering. The strength of this high-grade, former-producing asset
continues to be validated and we look forward to keeping shareholders updated as we advance our
development plans through 2025.”
Operations Report
Variscan Mines Limited (ASX:VAR) (“Variscan” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce its
Activities Report for the Quarter ended 31 March 2025 (“Q3 FY25”).
Novales-Udías Project
The Novales-Udías Project is located in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, approximately 30km southwest
of the regional capital, Santander. Since its acquisition, the Project has been centered around the
former producing San Jose underground mine with a large surrounding area of exploration opportunities
over the 12km Novales Trend, which includes several satellite underground and surface workings.
Udias Mine – Maiden Underground Drilling
During the March 2025 quarter, the Company reported first assays from its maiden underground drilling
program at the Udias Mine, part of the Novales-Udias Project in northern Spain. This campaign marks
the first time the southern section of the Udias Mine, extending over 1.4 km and previously undrilled,
has been systematically tested.
On 24 February 2025, the Company announced high-grade assay results from the initial holes of this
program. These results confirm the presence of substantial zinc mineralisation beneath historical
workings and support the development of a Mineral Resource Model at Udias.
Assays from first 5 diamond drillholes confirm significant mineralisation:
o
UDDT004:
20.1m @ 8.22% Zn, 1.72% Pb
o
UDDT002:
16.5m @ 6.16% Zn, 0.87% Pb
o
UDDT001:
7.8m @ 7.41% Zn, 0.68% Pb
o
UDDT005:
11.4m @ 4.76% Zn, 0.24% Pb
o
UDDT003:
11.0m @ 4.92% Zn, 0.04% Pb
These intersections demonstrate the continuity and grade of the mineralisation, providing confidence
in the potential for resource delineation. The drilling is located outside of the current Mineral Resource
Estimate (MRE) model, indicating the opportunity for resource expansion.

San Jose Mine – Exceptional Drilling Results
On 4 March 2025, the Company reported further high-grade zinc intercepts from its ongoing
underground diamond drilling program at the San Jose Mine, part of the Novales-Udias Project in
northern Spain. This drilling campaign aims to expand known zones of mineralisation and discover new
zones to support an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
4
The recent drilling focused on the La Caseta Trend within the Central Zone of the San Jose Mine.
Specifically, hole NDDT059 within the Central Zone returned the highest assay result (width x grade)
from a single drill hole drilled by Variscan at the Novales-Udias project to date, 15.3m @ 17.42% Zn,
4.40% Pb. Several other high-grade assays from the drilling at La Caseta include:
o
NDDT058: 14.30m @ 8.09% Zn, 1.28% Pb
o
NDDT060: 15.25m @ 6.10% Zn, 0.46% Pb

Probable feeder zone identified at La Caseta
Geological mapping and exploration work has consistently indicated strong structural controls on
mineralisation and the possible existence of one or more sub-vertical feeder zones channelling metalbearing hydrothermal fluids upward in the San Jose Mine.
In particular a north-south oriented linear zone of abundant high-grade sulphide mineralisation in the
northernmost part of the La Caseta area of the San Jose Mine was identified (Figure 5). Drilling was
conducted in this area to test the feeder zone concept and to infill an area that is adjacent to zones with
existing Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources.

accompany high-grade zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation
Recent drilling results are highly significant
The drilling results reported from the San Jose Mine and the Udias Mine3 have delivered outstanding
results. These drill holes now account for 20% of our best-ever 20 drill holes at the Novales-Udias
project that the Company has drilled (see highlighted red rows in Table 1 below). All of the results
recently reported are located outside of the existing MRE model and are expected to add to an updated
MRE, anticipated for later in 2025.

Mine Re-Start Study
The Company continued progressing key technical workstreams forming part of the Mine Re-Start Study
during the Quarter. Metallurgical test work, comprising four distinct phases, is underway across
European laboratories. These include sample preparation prior to pre-concentration, ore sorting trials
with TOMRA in Germany, heavy liquid separation trials in the UK, comminution testing, and flotation
optimisation. The goal is to confirm recovery assumptions and support design parameters for a modular
processing facility.
Geotechnical work also progressed, with uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) testing and stope
stability assessments underway. Early results support previous assumptions of strong, competent host
rock and indicate minimal ground support requirements for initial mining areas. This data will inform
mine design and scheduling considerations.
Government Support for the Novales-Udias Project
Additionally during the Quarter, the Company announced strong support from the Government of
Cantabria for the advancement of its Novales-Udias Zinc Project in northern Spain. This endorsement
followed a series of high-level meetings between Variscan's Managing Director & CEO, Stewart
Dickson, and senior regional government officials, including the President of Cantabria and the
Regional Minister for Industry.
The discussions reaffirmed the Government's commitment to revitalizing the mining sector in Cantabria
and its recognition of the potential economic and employment benefits associated with the
recommencement of mining operations at Novales-Udias. The Government expressed a clear
8
willingness to support Variscan's efforts to progress the project through the necessary permitting and
development stages.
This strong governmental backing enhances Variscan's confidence in the project's development
pathway and underscores the collaborative relationship between the Company and regional
authorities. The Company remains committed to maintaining transparent and constructive
engagement with all stakeholders as it advances towards the potential restart of mining activities in the
region.

María José Sainz de Buruaga and the Regional Minister for Industry, Employment, Innovation and
Trade, Mr. Eduardo Arasti Barca.
Explorer-Producer Strategy
Variscan continues to implement its Explorer-Producer strategy, centred on advancing the high-grade
Novales-Udias Project towards restarting production while simultaneously growing the resource base
9
through targeted exploration. This dual track approach is designed to leverage the Project’s unique
position as a de-risked, former producing mine, while recognising the potential opportunities in and
around it that remain underexplored. The phased development strategy is underpinned by the goal of
generating early cash flow to support ongoing exploration and development, creating a self-sustaining
cycle of value creation.

Novales-Udias Project Summary
The Novales-Udias Project is an advanced, zinc-lead project located in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin,
some 30km southwest from the regional capital, Santander. The project is centred around the former
producing San Jose and Udias underground mines with a large surrounding de-risked, district scale
exploration and development area. This includes a number of satellite underground and surface
workings and areas of zinc anomalism. Variscan has delineated the significant 12km mineralised
Novales Trend the majority of which is over valid, granted mining tenements 1.
The San Jose Mine is nearby (~9km) to the world class Reocin Mine which is the largest known stratabound carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposit in Spain 2 and one of the world’s richest MVT deposits 3. It is
within trucking distance (~80km) from the San Juan de Nieva zinc smelter operated by Asturiana de Zinc
(owned by Glencore).
