Mr David Flanagan, Managing Director said:

"The team have achieved a great deal, and we are just getting started. We've raised the funds, put drilling rigs in the field, and there are more to come. We really like the geology and we are looking forward to results due from the laboratory later in April. The target for the June quarter is to complete 6 times the drilling we achieved this quarter - This is high impact drilling, testing another 5 target areas in the next three months. That means spreading out across the project, drilling more than 100 holes and staying focused.

"We are also very pleased to report our neighbours (Winning Consortium, Rio and SimFer Joint Venture) remain on track for commissioning a multi-user, heavy haul rail network linking the project to the port in late 2025."

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES DURING THE MARCH 2024 QUARTER

Strong start to 2024 drilling

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. Approximately 40 kilometres of strike of the prospective Simandou iron formation is interpreted to extend into the Company's Simandou North license. The Company (as disclosed via ASX Announcement 3 October 2023) has identified high grade mineralisation in the sequence and is now systematically testing targets across the project.

Arrow has already reported encouraging geology in drilling results (see ASX release dated 1 March 2024).

The Company eagerly awaits assay results which will start arriving from late April. Subject to weather and drilling conditions, the Company is planning to complete more than 10,000 metres in the June Quarter.

The Winning Consortium and the SimFer Joint Venture (Rio Tinto and Chinalco) are collectively spending $USD26 Billion to develop a mine, multi-user rail, and port system. This is a huge investment undertaken after 30 years of studies and investment due diligence. Arrow's Simandou North Iron Project comes within 25km of the rail construction corridor.

~$13 million raised in two placements to fund the Simandou North Iron Project

The proceeds of the Placements and recent Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") will be predominantly used to advance exploration at the Company's Simandou North Iron Project, with a focus on executing a high impact drilling programme in 2024;

1. $3,050,000 Tranche 2 Placement subscription funds (before costs) following shareholder approval on 15 February 2024;

Ltd ("Amalgamated"), which holds the Simandou North Iron Project, taking the Company's legal and beneficial interest to 100% (refer ASX Announcements of 13 and 27 March 2024 for further details) ("Amalgamated Acquisition").
