- Drilling continued with a further 5 holes completed for 252 metres subsequent to quarter end, results pending

Mr David Flanagan, Managing Director said:
"The iron ore industry has enormous potential to create shareholder value, deliver huge benefits in the countries where it's developed, and provide the steel to industrialise and electrify the world. Combined with the multi-user rail and port infrastructure being built in Guinea, the opportunity for economic diversity and prosperity will be transformative. Arrow has a highly prospective iron project, we've just drilled our first 11 targets and reported very encouraging early drilling results and there are many more to come. Our strategy focuses on the discovery of and defining economically viable mineral deposits, and efficiently delivering ore to the Simandou multi-user railway, located approximately 25 km from our tenement."
"We are also very pleased to report our neighbours, Winning Consortium Simandou and Rio Tinto Simfer, remain on track for commissioning a multi-user, heavy haul rail network linking our Simandou North Iron Project to the port in late 2025."
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES DURING THE JUNE 2024 QUARTER
Arrow's Simandou North Iron Project is located immediately north of the Simandou Iron Ore Project, the world's largest high grade iron ore project (Figure 1*). Approximately 40 kilometres of strike of the prospective Simandou iron formation is interpreted to extend into the Company's Simandou North license (Figure 1*) which has been validated by an extensive field mapping and rock chip sampling campaign. As announced, the Company has identified high grade mineralisation in the sequence and is now systematically testing targets across the project.
Arrow's Simandou North Iron Project comes within 25km of the rail construction corridor (Figure 1*) which presents a unique opportunity to Arrow to access this rail infrastructure under the Government of the Republic of Guinea's mandate that the rail should be available for third party use.
Winning Consortium Simandou and Rio Tinto Simfer are collectively spending approximately US$26Bn (equivalent to approximately AU$38Bn) to develop a mine, multi-user rail, and port system (Figure 2*). This is a significant investment undertaken after 30 years of studies and investment in due diligence.
