$520,000 Cash R&D Tax Refund Received

ADELAIDE, AU / ACCESS Newswire / March 29, 2026 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to advise that it has received a ~$520,000 research and development (R&D) cash tax refund for the year ended 30 June 2025 under the Federal Government's R&D Tax Incentive Program.

Text size:

Further to the receipt of these funds, Barton's unrestricted cash balance (which excludes ~$4.5 million cash posted as security for rehabilitation bank guarantees) is approximately $13.5 million.

Barton has executed a range of R&D work programmes during fiscal year 2025, including trialling multiple technologies to develop new methodologies for exploration under cover in South Australia, and the development of new regional geological models. These work programmes have been completed in the vicinity of the Company's Tarcoola (Tarcoola) and Tunkillia Gold Projects (Tunkillia). Several of these work programs remain ongoing and are expected to be completed during the 2026 and 2027 financial years.

In conjunction with funding awarded to Barton under the South Australian Government's Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI), the Federal Government's R&D Tax Incentive Program has directly contributed to the significant acceleration of exploration activity and efficiency in an emerging gold province.[1]

Significant outcomes enabled by this support include the testing of a new regional structural model for the Tarcoola Goldfield, new predictive models for alteration zones on the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone (which hosts the Tunkillia project), and the validation of multiple predicted structures and alteration zones. Among others these have resulted in the targeting and identification of Barton's dual Tolmer gold and silver discoveries during 2024 and 2025, with gold and silver grades up to 17,600g/t Ag and 83.6g/t Au.[2]

Commenting on the receipt of R&D Tax Incentive funds, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:

"The Federal Government's R&D Tax Incentive Program is a highly beneficial initiative which supports smaller companies to pursue technical innovation across a wide range of Australian industries.

"Barton's participation in this program has enabled us to undertake a wide range of large-scale R&D programs which might otherwise not be possible, and has contributed to multiple significant technical outcomes.

"We are very grateful for the Federal Government's consistent support of our long-term regional efforts, and look forward to continuing these programs in pursuit of further contributions to regional technical development."
