Santana Minerals halts trading ahead of key Bendigo-Ophir gold project update

Santana Minerals Limited entered a trading halt on November 21, 2025, at its own request, pending the release of a significant announcement. The company cited an upcoming disclosure concerning its fast-track application for the Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project located in Central Otago, New Zealand, as the reason for the halt.

The trading halt is expected to remain in effect until the earlier of the release of this announcement to the market or the commencement of normal trading on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. This measure aligns with ASX Listing Rule 17.1 and NZX Listing Rule 9.9.1(a).
