Targeting commissioning of ‘Stage 1′ production by the end of 2026

HIGHLIGHTS

• $15m Placement led by Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest precious metals funds

• Share Purchase Plan (SPP) targeting $2.5 million to be offered at same price as the Placement

• Placement and SPP price of $1.25 / share represents a:

  • Discount of 3.8% to Barton’s last traded price of $1.30 / share on Thursday, 9 October 2025

  • Premium of 7.6% to Barton’s 1 month (20 trading day) VWAP of $1.16 / share

• Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) underway for reinstatement of Barton’s fully permitted Central Gawler Mill (CGM) to operations, where JORC Mineral Resources include 194koz @ 3.23 g/t Au on existing open pit and underground mine development; targeting commissioning by the end of 2026¹

• Upgrade drilling underway on Tunkillia’s ‘Starter Pits’ which are modelled to yield ~$1.3bn operating free cash during the first 2.5 years alone, targeting Ore Reserves, completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), and submission of a Mining Lease application by the end of calendar year 2026²

• $23 million estimated pro-forma cash balance after completion of Placement and SPP

ADELAIDE, AU / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(OTCQB:BGDFF)(FRA:BGD3) (Barton or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has received firm commitments to raise $15 million (before costs) from existing and new specialist North American institutional precious metals funds (Placement).

The Placement is priced at $1.25 per share, for the issuance of 12 million new shares (Placement Shares). A Share Purchase Plan (SPP) targeting $2.5 million (before costs) will open to eligible existing Barton shareholders following completion of the Placement, for the issuance of a further 2 million new shares (SPP Shares).

The Placement is led by Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest institutional precious metals funds, which will invest $11.25 million to acquire an initial interest in circa 3.8% of Barton’s expanded equity capital structure. Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (Canaccord) is acting as Lead Manager and Bookrunner, and is working in conjunction with Barton’s internal equity capital markets initiatives to support the Placement. Barton estimates that the total costs of the Placement and SPP will be less than 1.5% of total proceeds.

Commenting on the capital raise, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

“Barton has worked diligently during the past five years to lay the foundation for large-scale regional gold production, doing so expeditiously and with minimal dilution, in order to create and preserve maximum future shareholder value. We now have the opportunity to leverage our existing mill to operations at record gold prices, and unlock that value.

“We are greatly honoured to have Franklin Templeton’s support as we pivot to the next stage of Barton’s evolution, and target the re-rating of Barton’s equity profile to that of a ‘producer’ with a strong, self-funded growth pathway.”

Capital raise to accelerate key value-add programs

Since the Company’s last $3m capital raise completed in June 2025, Barton has announced several value-add initiatives for its strategic regional ‘hub and spoke’ model in South Australia’s central Gawler Craton, including:

• Stage 1 Operations | Central Gawler Mill (CGM)

  • Dual JORC (2012) Mineral Resources upgrades to over 300koz Au adjacent to the CGM, with a preliminary A$26m (±30%) capital cost estimate for reinstatement of the CGM (with upgrades);³

  • The start of a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) targeting commissioning by the end of 2026;⁴

• Stage 2 Development | Tunkillia Gold Project

  • The start of ~18,000m reverse circulation (RC) upgrade drilling on the ‘Starter Pits’ modelled to yield ~$1.3bn operating free cash and pay back development 3x over during the first 2.5 years;⁵

• Tolmer high-grade silver discovery

  • High-grade drilling assays extending the ‘western silver zone’, and adding high-grade gold;⁶

  • Soil sampling assays indicating expansive Au-Ag-Pb anomalism and potential extensions;⁷

  • Completion of diamond drilling (DD) to investigate controls and guide follow up targeting;⁸

• Regional M&A | Wudinna Gold Project

  • Acquisition of the Wudinna Gold Project (Wudinna) adding 279koz Au regional mineralisation;⁹

  • The granting of new tenements at Wudinna, providing a long-term exploration platform;¹⁰ and

  • Preliminary metallurgical testwork indicating up to 99% gold recoveries, and the potential to produce a ~20 – 25 g/t Au concentrate for trucking to Barton’s CGM and planned Tunkillia mill.¹¹

Barton’s ASX-listed shares have also recently become a member of the ASX All Ordinaries Index (All Ordinaries) of the 500 largest companies in the Australian equities market, administered by S&P Dow Jones Indices.¹²

Placement size and terms

The Company received expressions of interest exceeding its targeted placement amount of $15 million (before costs), and will issue 12 million new Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s available Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. Upon issue, new Placement Shares will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

The Placement issue price of $1.25 per share represents a 3.8% discount to the Company’s last traded price of $1.30 and a 7.6% premium to the Company’s 1 month (20 trading day) volume weighted average closing price (VWAP) of $1.16 (each calculated as at market close on Thursday, 9 October 2025).

The new Placement Shares represent modest equity dilution of only 5%, preserving value for Barton shareholders. Barton estimates total Placement and SPP costs to be less than 1.5% of total proceeds.

Placement and SPP proceeds will be used to advance programs targeting commissioning of the CGM for ‘Stage 1′ operations, and Tunkillia Ore Reserves, PFS completion and a Mining Lease application, by the end of 2026.

Barton has continued to receive further interest in the Placement and reserves the right to increase its size.

Pro-forma capital structure and treasury balance

Upon completion of the Placement and SPP, the Company estimates that it will have a pro-forma equity capital structure of approximately 239,961,810 fully paid ordinary shares, with an estimated $23 million cash balance. An Appendix 3B for the proposed issue of the Placement Shares and SPP Shares will follow this announcement.

Share Purchase Plan

The Company also intends to offer an SPP to target an additional $2.5 million (before costs) (SPP Offer). Full SPP subscription for $2.5 million would therefore result in the issue of a further 2,000,000 SPP Shares.

SPP Shares will be issued at the same price as the Placement Shares (SPP Issue Price) and can be purchased from the Company without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.¹³ Upon issue, SPP Shares will rank equally with all others existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

The SPP is not underwritten. The Company may raise more or less than $2.5 million. If more than $2.5 million in applications are received, the Directors may in their absolute discretion accept applications (in whole or in part) to raise less than, or more than, $2.5 million, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Eligible Barton shareholders, being those with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (Eligible Shareholders) and recorded on the Company’s share register as at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 13 October 2025 (Record Date), will have the opportunity to apply for up to $30,000 of new SPP Shares each.

The full terms and conditions of the SPP will be detailed in an offer booklet which is expected to be released to the ASX and dispatched to Eligible Shareholders via their preferred contact method on Thursday, 23 October 2025 (SPP Offer Booklet).

Barton’s Directors have indicated that, where eligible, they intent to participate in the SPP subject to any Director participation not displacing general public demand from Eligible Investors.

The SPP Offer is expected to open on Thursday, 23 October 2025, and close at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 6 November 2025. The SPP Offer may be closed early by the Company without notice.

The Company notes that the Company’s last SPP, opened on Tuesday, 9 April 2024 was heavily oversubscribed and closed early after only one week.¹⁴ Interested Eligible Shareholders are therefore encouraged to apply as soon as possible following the opening of the SPP.

Barton will coordinate with its share registry (Computershare) to provide online application facilities to allow expedited applications by all interested Eligible Investors. Further details of these facilities will be provided in the SPP Offer Booklet published to the ASX on Thursday, 23 October 2025.

Indicative Timeline – Placement & SPP

* Note: This timetable is indicative only and subject to change. The quotation and trading of new Placement Shares and SPP Shares is subject to confirmation from the ASX. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable rules, Barton reserves the right to amend this timetable at any time, without notice, including to extend or shorten the period during which Placement or SPP applications will be accepted. Accordingly, eligible parties are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible.

MONTRÉAL, QC / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2025 / There are books that entertain, books that educate, and then there are books that quietly change lives. The Light World by Canadian author and educator Heather I. Niderost belongs firmly in the last category. First published in 1990, the book emerged from a place of unimaginable loss; yet over three decades later it continues to travel the world as a source of solace for grieving families and children, carrying with it a message of courage, faith, and enduring love.

Readers today can find the book in Kindle format through Amazon: The Light World by Heather I. Niderost, ensuring its message of comfort remains widely accessible.

Born of Tragedy, Written in Love

Heather’s life changed forever when her ten-year-old son, Eric, was killed in a sudden accident. The devastation was overwhelming; but in the midst of grief, she turned to her faith for answers. A follower of the Bahá’í Faith, Heather searched for a way to explain death to her children – not as something to fear, but as part of a greater spiritual journey.

That search became The Light World; a book that gives children an image of death not as an ending, but as a continuation into a place of peace and joy. Written and illustrated by Heather herself, the book is tender, hopeful, and deeply personal.

“This book is Eric’s gift,” Heather reflects. “Through it, his light continues to shine for other children. It was written so no child would ever fear death again.”

A Universal Language of Comfort

Although its inspiration lies in Bahá’í teachings, The Light World speaks to families of every background. Its message is universal; that death is not to be feared but to be understood. Heather’s clear language and gentle illustrations allow children to approach one of life’s most difficult subjects without fear.

The book has been used by parents, educators, grief counselors, and spiritual groups across the globe. It has been translated into several languages, shared in classrooms, incorporated into grief support programs, and passed down through families for generations.

The Educator Behind the Author

Heather I. Niderost’s life has always been grounded in education and spiritual inquiry. Born in Montreal, she studied at McGill University before moving to Scotland, where she received a teaching certificate from the Aberdeen College of Education and a Diploma in Education from the University of Aberdeen. While in Scotland, she and her husband Adrian discovered the Bahá’í Faith, which would later guide much of Heather’s worldview.

After returning to Canada and raising five children, Heather faced the unthinkable loss of Eric. In the aftermath, she pursued a Master’s degree in Comparative Religious Studies at McGill University, deepening her understanding of spirituality and human belief systems. Her writing reflects both her academic insight and her lived experience of grief; a combination that gives The Light World its rare authenticity.

A Book That Listens When Words Fail

For parents, there are few conversations more difficult than explaining death to a child. How do you tell them what has happened, or what it means? The Light World answers this question with a voice both gentle and firm, replacing fear with reassurance.

Readers often describe the book as transformative. One parent shared:

“After reading Eric’s book, my children were able to face the loss of their grandfather without fear. It gave us peace in a time of pain.”

This response has echoed across cultures, making The Light World a quiet but enduring global lifeline.

A Vision Beyond Sorrow

At the heart of The Light World is an image of what lies beyond death; a place of light, love, and reunion. With vibrant illustrations and a simple, accessible voice, Heather paints a vision of the next world that children can not only understand but embrace.

The book reminds families that love does not end with death. Instead, it continues in a different form-one filled with beauty, peace, and joy.

Heather describes the book as a channel for Eric’s light; “his way of reaching other children so they never walk through grief alone.”

Timeless Relevance

In today’s world, where children are often confronted with fear, loss, and uncertainty from an early age, The Light World is more relevant than ever. It empowers families to have conversations about death with honesty and hope, filling a critical gap in both emotional and spiritual education.

It is read at bedtime, used in grief support groups, discussed in classrooms, and shared during spiritual gatherings. Wherever it appears, the book serves the same purpose; to guide children and adults alike through grief with love and clarity.

A Life Devoted to Light

Heather’s literary work extends beyond The Light World. Her later books-A Pilgrim’s Song (1998) and The Quest of the Light Knights (2014)-explore themes of inner strength, spirituality, and the eternal journey of the soul. Each book reflects her mission to help people confront life’s challenges with courage and compassion.

Availability

The Light World is available in Kindle format on Amazon; The Light World by Heather I. Niderost, as well as in select bookstores throughout Canada and the United States. With its message of peace and healing, it remains a trusted resource for grief support networks, educators, and families worldwide.

An Enduring Gift

More than a book, The Light World is a legacy of love born out of loss. It has carried families through their darkest nights and given children the courage to face life’s most difficult truths without fear.

As Heather herself says:

“There is no end to love. There is only a new beginning.”
