29 November 2022 Santana Minerals Limited announce further significant results from the 100% owned Bendigo-Ophir Project ("the Project"). The Project presently contains a global 1.9Moz inferred gold resource (MRE) in four Rise and Shine Shear Zone (RSSZ) deposits, which remain open down-plunge at depth. Drilling (18,265 metres completed since the July MRE Upgrade) is continuing to expand resource potential.

Assays have been received for 7 RAS south-east drillholes (MDD080 to MDD086) from RAS Ridge within and beyond the limits of the presently defined 1.5-kilometre NNE trending down-plunge shoot. Significant new aggregate drillhole Intercepts confirm continuity of high-grade RAS south-east mineralisation where closer spaced drilling on 40*40 metre centres has been completed for geostatistics to guide variography in a new RAS MRE upgrade starting in December 2022. Bonanza grades (1 metre >10g/t Au) to 121 g/t Au "typical" of RAS mineralisation (often flagged by visible gold) are present in six of the seven drillholes (Appendix 2).

These assays illustrate the widespread nature of this high-grade mineralisation that encompasses 40,000 square metres of the overall RAS Ridge area. MDD080, 10.5g/t Au from 181m, 20.7g/t Au from 186m, 13.9g/t Au from 187m, 11.7g/t Au from 189m, 30.9g/t Au from 190m, 33.3g/t Au from 209m and 53.4g/t Au from 221m. MDD081, 10.6g/t Au from 165m, 10.9g/t Au from 167m and 32.0g/t Au from 171m.

MDD083, 32.9g/t Au from 157m, 15.4g/t Au from 192m, 14.8g/t Au from 247m and 10.1g/t Au from 270m. MDD084, 21.2g/t Au from 177.9m, 33.9g/t Au from 182m, 59.9g/t Au from 184m, 20.4g/t Au from 185m, 17.0g/t Au from 186m, 121.0g/t Au from 206m and 33.9g/t Au from 207m. MDD085, 12.2g/t Au from 186m, 11.9g/t Au from 187m, 11.6g/t Au from 206m, 56.8g/t Au from 207m, and 13.1g/t Au from 208m.

MDD086, 18.9g/t Au from 181m, 49.8g/t Au from 182m, 20.2g/t Au from 183m, and 15.9g/t Au from 189m.
