Minerals - Year End Operational Update and Early 2026 Objectives

✅ Blue Mountain – Strong Alluvial Results & Visible Gold
✅ Lolworth – Maiden Drilling Confirms Gold-Silver System
✅ Raglan – Acquisition Pending Completion & Production Pathway Secured

Expected 2026 Operational Milestones. ECR enters the new year with a focused and deliverable plan:

✅ Raglan: Commencement of first alluvial gold production, following completion of acquisition, site preparation and mobilisation of personnel.
✅ Blue Mountain: Progression towards early-stage production, building on visible gold, expanding mineable corridors and further wash-plant trials.
✅ Operational integration between Raglan and Blue Mountain, seeking to establish a scalable, repeatable alluvial production model.
✅ Lolworth: Ongoing exploration for gold, silver and REE targets.
✅ Progression of the proposed Creswick JV discussions with Bold Gold.
✅ Strategic use of the aggregate A$76m of ECR and Raglan tax losses, expected to materially enhance early-stage future profitability for Raglan and Blue Mountain.

Chairman Nick Tulloch: “2025 has been a pivotal year for ECR. Across the portfolio we have delivered meaningful progress...we believe that the year ahead will see ECR evolve from a pure explorer into a company with nearer-term production and cashflow potential, supported by two complementary alluvial projects and substantial tax losses that enhance early economics. We enter 2026 with alignment, momentum and a clear plan to deliver a step-change year for the business. On behalf of the Board, I would like to wish all our shareholders, partners and stakeholders a safe and happy Christmas. We greatly appreciate your continued support and look forward to a transformational year ahead for ECR Minerals.”
