Southern Arc Intersects a Wide Interval of Bonanza Gold Grades From Its Phase 2 Drilling of Pelangan Prospect, West Lombok, Including 17.4m @ 19.4g/t Au & 28.3g/t Ag From 78.8m

Southern Arc Minerals Inc SA

pleased to announce assay results from holes PLD007 and PLD009 as a continuation of Phase 2 drilling at Pelangan, West Lombok. These results confirm the presence of wide zones of high-grade gold+/-silver mineralisation, indicative of significant 'bonanza shoot' development within the Central Raja Mineralised Structural Breccia ("MSB") lode.

Highlight intersections are described below. All intervals are reported as downhole lengths.

Drill hole PLD007 returned a broad high grade mineralised interval with:

PLD007 39.7m @ 9.4g/t Au & 15.7g/t Ag from 78.8m Including (17.4m @ 19.4g/t Au & 28.3g/t Ag from 78.8m) Including (6.15m @ 37.7g/t Au & 26g/t Ag from 88.1m)

PLD007 intersected mineralisation over 100 metres vertically below surface. Its substantial width highlights the potential for high-grade "blow outs" or swells within ore shoots in the MSB structures. These have potential to host significant high-grade tonnage.

According to Chief Geologist, Andrew Rowe, "These results confirm continuity of mineralization along the structure, and at depth, and illustrate the pinch and swell geometry typical of this style of epithermal mineralization. Our current program will test for potential extensions within this high-grade Central Raja lode zone. We will also be looking for similar features elsewhere along the Raja target vein."

About the company

The company's well-positioned and outstanding portfolio includes four active, advanced projects involving epithermal gold and high-potential gold-copper porphyry prospects on Lombok and Sumbawa islands.
