Arkle Resources PLC Announces Drilling Update For Stonepark Zinc Project Arkle Resources PLC announced that Group Eleven intends to expand drilling at the Stonepark Zinc Project from approximately 3,000 m to approximately 15,500 m. Group Eleven is the Operator of Stonepark in which Arkle holds a 22.36% interest. Arkle co-discovered the Stonepark zinc deposit in County Limerick - now Ireland's second largest undeveloped resource - in a joint venture with Teck Ireland. Teck Ireland's interest was acquired by Group Eleven. Group Eleven (in which Glencore is a 13% shareholder) continues to advance the project alongside Arkle. Stonepark is formed of five contiguous prospecting licences covering an area of 148 km² and is adjacent to Glencore's Pallas Green zinc project, one of the world's largest undeveloped zinc-lead deposits at 45.4 Mt. Stonepark has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.1 Mt grading 11.3% combined zinc and lead (8.7% Zn, 2.6% Pb) - and the deposit remains open along and across strike. It is higher grade and shallower (190-395 m depth) than the neighbouring Pallas Green deposit (8.4% Zn+Pb). Ireland is ranked number one in the world for zinc discovered per square kilometre. It is home to some of the world's largest and highest-grade zinc deposits, including Tara (120 Mt+ mined since 1977, Europe's largest zinc mine), Lisheen (22.3 Mt at 11.7% Zn), and Galmoy (8Mt at 12% Zn). Six zinc mines have been permitted and operated over the past 60 years, and every major Irish zinc discovery has been profitably mined. Majors active in Ireland include Boliden and Glencore. The joint venture's thesis is that the Carrickittle area within the Stonepark project may host a "mirror image" of the mineralising system that created Glencore's adjacent Pallas Green deposit on the opposite side of the Limerick Volcanic Complex. In 2022, drilling at Carrickittle West intersected the first major fault structure directly drilled in the Limerick region - a fault with 150 m of vertical displacement and zinc mineralisation on both sides. Three follow-up holes were drilled on Stonepark ground in late 2024, totalling 1,372 m at depths of 350-550 m. Results released in 2025 demonstrated proximity to strong mineralisation. Group Eleven's recent focus has been on nearby exploration at its Ballywire prospect (on a wholly owned Group Eleven licence, southeast of Stonepark) indicating high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation over a 2.6 km trend that remains open in all directions. Group Eleven plans step-out drilling around the known resource at Stonepark as well as a follow-up drill programme on the Carrickittle West prospect (within the Stonepark licence) and its announced intention to drill approximately 15,500 m at Stonepark is welcomed by Arkle's Board.

Arkle Resources PLC Announces the Initiation of Its Phase 1 Uranium Exploration Programme in Namibia Arkle Resources PLC announced the initiation of its Phase 1 uranium exploration programme in Namibia, with airborne and ground based geophysical surveys now underway. In January 2026, Arkle completed a transformative acquisition of four uranium exploration licences in Namibia's Erongo Region, covering 540 km2. As a result, Arkle now provides investors with unique London Stock Exchange-listed uranium discovery exposure in one of Africa's key uranium belts, proximal to some of the world's largest uranium producers. Following a successful sampling programme in 2025, which confirmed the presence of surficial uranium on Arkle's licences, the Company is fully funded to advance a two-phase work programme as detailed further below. One of three planned lines of horizontal loop electromagnetic survey ("HLEM"), primarily to test the potential paleochannels on EPL 8995, has already been completed. The HLEM survey will assist in mapping the basement rock profile of channels allowing geophysicists to determine the potential depth and extent of fill across the paleochannels. The airborne survey is expected to be completed by mid-March with final delivery of the processed data anticipated within 30 days of completion of data acquisition. Analysis of data from both these surveys will be used to prioritise areas for follow-up mapping and sampling. This in turn will guide the identification of drill targets. Phase 2 exploration work to begin in H2 2026 will focus on targets developed from Phase 1 and will include detailed mapping (with potential for further geophysical surveys), additional sampling, and up to 4,000 metres of Reverse Circulation drilling. A successful 2026 drill programme would be followed by a phase 3 programme which would include detailed infill drilling, leading to the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in first half of 2027. Initial work on EPL 7986 will be focused on mapping, sampling and developing a model of the alaskite outcrop. A sampling programme was carried out in 2025 comprising 178 samples taken from small pits dug to depths of 0.35 to 0.5 m. Highlights from the programme included: EPL 8995 and 8290 Uranium in calcrete values up to 2,782 ppm U3O8 - surficial uranium confirmed in all areas surveyed; Uranium in alaskite values up to 3,855 ppm U3O8 - strong indications of the presence of basement highs and the identification of alaskite mineralisation surrounding Trekkopje's large paleochannel systems, which may extend into Arkle's tenements EPL 7986 - Uranium in alaskite value up to 2,923 ppm U3O8 - adjacent to Rossing and located on margins of the same domal structure and mineralisation.

Arkle Resources plc Provides an Update on Its Strategy and Project Portfolio Arkle Resources PLC provided an update on its strategy and project portfolio. In January 2026, Arkle completed a transformative acquisition of four uranium exploration licences in Namibia's Erongo Region. As a result, Arkle now uniquely offers investors uranium discovery exposure in one of Africa's key uranium belts, proximal to some of the world's largest uranium producers. The Company's portfolio comprises complementary metals which are essential for the generation and storage of clean energy - uranium, lithium and zinc - in the premier mining jurisdictions of Namibia, neighbouring Botswana, and Ireland. Portfolio Summary - Priority Projects Uranium in Namibia Poised to Imminently Commence Funded Exploration Programme on Shallow Prospects Adjacent to Major Projects in the World's Third Largest Uranium Producing Country. Arkle's projects are situated in prime acreage in one of Asia's key uranium belts. Further updates will be provided as these workstreams progress. Phase 2 (commencing H2 2026): Initial exploration work will focus on targets developed from Phase 1 and will include detailed mapping (with potential for further geophysical surveys), additional sampling, and up to 4,000 metres of RC drilling. Initial work on EPL 7986 will focus on mapping and developing a model of the alaskite outcrop. A successful 2026 drill programme would be followed by detailed infill drilling, leading to the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in first half 2027. Arkle holds 100% of three Prospecting Licences ("PLs") in the Makagdikgadi Salt Pans covering 1,612 km2. Highlights: Geophysical surveys of PL 148 and PL 075 carried out in 2024 confirmed the presence of continuous thick brine-bearing conducting layers with some thin conducting layers within the top 5m from the surface; The thickness of the more conducting layers at depth ranged from approximately 30 m to 60 m; Geochemical sampling in 2024 identified lithium in all samples tested, alongside significant magnesium grades, establishing the prospectivity of the licensed areas; Further geophysical surveys conducted in Fourth Quarter 2025 now also indicate the presence of brines to depths of approximately 25 metres on PL 1716; Further exploration and drilling is planned to assess lithium brine concentrations at depth; Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") is underway as a prerequisite to drilling; Botswana consistently ranked among the world's top destinations for mining investment; Work to Date Geophysics and soil sampling across the licence package in 2024-2025 indicate brines to shallow depths across a large area, with confirmed lithium in samples. There are also significant grades of magnesium that may be economically extracted as an additional product under the process of Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") where it is now possible to extract 100% of the magnesium from the brines as a second income stream. The initial stages of the EIA have been completed with the full study targeted for completion by June 2026. Next steps The scale of the Makgadikgadi licence package and the consistency of brine indications across all three licences highlight the potential for a large brine system. Annuncio • Feb 03

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 14% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€384k free cash flow).

Arkle Resources PLC Provides Update on Progress on African Lithium Licences Arkle Resources PLC update shareholders on lithium exploration activities in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Botswana The Company holds two licences totaling 837sq km in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Earlier work confirmed the presence of a layer of brines across the licences. The current project is to recover samples of the brines which will be analysed to detect trace lithium. 5kg samples of brines will be taken from below the hard crusty salt core using an auger drill. The samples will be analysed by ALS in Brisbane using ICP-MS technology. The initial sampling work will take about two weeks. Assuming the detection of lithium traces, a structural grid sampling program has been developed using larger augers to reach the shallow water table. The samples will be sent for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) analysis to identify grades. Zimbabwe The Company holds 3 licences covering 153 hectares in the Insiza area of Matabeleland of Zimbabwe. The area has a number of active lithium explorers. Arkle is undertaking a reconnaissance of the ground to look for traces of, and extent of, spodumene and /or lepidolite rock. Earlier work indicated the presence of these rocks. Why Lithium The supply /demand balance for Lithium is being transformed by surging demand, growth at 25% yearly, especially for high-purity, battery-grade Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Hydroxide. There is no plausible way that currently identified hard rock deposits in Africa and Australia can supply this demand so the search is on for lithium in the brines of salt pans. Lithium mineralisation has long been known in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. But Botswana exploration interest was mainly in diamonds. Confirmatory work was conducted on the brines by Australian and South African explorers from time to time, but their main expertise was in hard rock sources, especially spodumene. Until recently the economics of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans seemed inferior to those of the world's richest, proven salt pans. However, the recent development of Direct Lithium Extraction technologies have the potential to greatly increase output of high-purity Lithium salts from brines, at much lower cost and less water and energy consumption than traditional evaporation techniques.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 9.9% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent.

Arkle Resources PLC Announces Drilling Starts on Stonepark Licence Block in Limerick, Ireland Arkle Resources PLC has begun a drilling campaign. The targets were identified in previous work and the programme intends on drilling 4-5 holes totaling 1,700m, focusing on the Carrickittle West area in the southern part of the block of 7 licences. Highlights: A drill programme of 4-5 holes at Carrickittle West, Stonepark block, totaling approx. 1,700m (hole depths of 350m to 550m) testing the southern margin of the Limerick Volcanic Complex (‘LVC’), a prospective area of approximately 11km in strike-length. Targets include areas of brecciation and mineralisation seen in previous drilling, the Kilteely volcanic centre and the SW extensions of the Coonagh Castle Fault first intersected by Group Eleven, in 2022. The volcanic centre at Kilteely, covering 2km x 6km, is the focus of renewed attention by the joint venture given its potential association with zinc mineralization - the only other interpreted volcanic centre in the LVC is located adjacent to the Glencore owned Pallas Green deposit which is 5km north of Carrickittle West which contains over 45 million tonnes of zinc/lead ore.

Arkle Resources plc Provides Drilling Update on Stonepark Property Arkle have been informed by the Company's partner Group Eleven that they will undertake a drilling program on the Company's seven license block Stonepark property in the coming months. The announcement made by Group Eleven reads as follows: Stonepark - Planning Underway Planning is underway for a drilling program at Group Eleven's 76.56%-owned Stonepark Project later in 2024. This will include follow-up on drilling at the Carrickittle West target in 2022, which resulted in the first intersection by Group Eleven of a major fault in the Limerick basin. Group Eleven expects to drill a series of widely spaced holes to examine mineralization, brecciation and Waulsortian thickness variations in the area to improve understanding of the best area of potential for a major discovery. This incremental follow-up on the target reduces the risk associated with a single, deep hole and follows the exploration model that successfully resulted in the Ballywire discovery in 2022. In addition, other prospective targets across the Stonepark block will be drill tested during the course of the program. Further details on the program will be provided in due course.

Arkle Resources Reports Results from Inishowen Co. Dogal Gold Drilling Update Arkle Resources announced the results from the Company's December 2023 drilling programme at the Inishowen Co. Donegal gold prospect. These results expand the strike length of the known gold bearing structure with grades of up to 1.65 g/t gold over 0.8m gold from split core samples. Highlights of drill results. Vein was drilled perpendicular to vein strike. Vein estimated to dip at around 80 degrees. All lengths reported as downhole widths not true width. Gold grades were found within both quartz veins but also within fault gouge and surrounding wall rock. Core loss was encountered within 23-MR-14 and if fault gouge had washed out, grade may have been reduced. In future, drilling is expected to use triple-tube in order to limit the core-loss. Four drill holes were completed during this phase of drilling totaling 220.4 metres. The first two drill holes, 23-MR-13 and 23-MR-14 were drilled from the same drill pad at 45 and 70 degrees respectively, targeting the main vein at the Meeneragh target which was found during the previous trenching campaign. Hole 23-MR-13 intercepted the vein from 23.50m and returned 0.52g/t gold over 1.2 metres. Hole 23-MR-14 incepted the vein at 33 metres returning a grade 0.3g/t over an interval of 8 metres, including 2.05 metres at 0.51g/t gold. Due to significant core loss, the directors believe that the grade is under represented. 23-MR-15 and 23-MR-16 were drilled 50 metres along strike, also from one drill pad at 45 and 70deg respectively. 23-MR-15 intercepted the vein at 33 metres and returned a grade of 1.65g/t gold over 0.6 metres. All core was drilled at NQ size. Half core was sent for analysis to ALS Laboratories in Loughrea, Ireland. Regular blanks and standards were inserted in the sample stream for QA/QC purposes. Samples were prepared using PREP-31B crush to 70% less than 2mm, riffle split off 1kg and pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Multi-element analysis was conducted using ME-ICP61 a four acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Gold was analysed using Au-AA26 ore grade fire assay. Annuncio • Dec 20

Arkle Resources PLC Announces Drilling to Start on the Inishowen Gold Project Arkle Resources announced that a drilling programme at Inishowen Co. Donegal will begin this week. The drilling is follow up to work completed at the Meeneragh target and will aim to test the main gold bearing outcrop. Four holes are planned in this phase from two drill pads drilling at minus 45 and minus 70 degrees. The focus of this drilling programme will be on the main vein target that was discovered in earlier work. The vein that was discovered produced intercepts of 3.05 metres at 5.8g/t gold and 4.82 metres at 5.48g/t gold. Drilling will aim to intercept this vein at different depths and along strike to determine vein continuity. Further drill holes have been permitted but will be results dependant. The Inishowen gold project is located on the Inishowen peninsula in north County Donegal and comprises a prospecting licence totalling 46km squared. Initial drilling success was achieved in 2016, with Arkle Resources being the first company known to drill specifically for gold in the area. Drilling by Arkle at the Meeneragh prospect gave intercepts of 3.05m grading at 5.8g/t gold and 4.82m at 5.48g/t gold. The targets are similar (mesothermal veins) and hosted in similar geology (Dalradian) to the gold deposits at Cavanacaw and Curraghinalt in Tyrone over 40km away to the south. The main target area at Meeneragh now extends over 750m. The historic high grade boulders in the surrounding fields demonstrates that there may be more unidentified veins which would be expected in this type of geological setting. New Risk • Nov 19

Arkle Resources plc Announces Lithium Pegmatites Discovered At Mine River Arkle Resources PLC announced the discovery of lithium bearing pegmatites in its Mine River Block on the Wexford/Wicklow border in Ireland. Of the 34 rock chip samples collected late last year, six returned lithium grades over 0.02% Li2O with one sample assaying 0.09% Li2O from the Bunclody area. Elevated lithium also correlated with enriched levels of Caesium Rubidium and Tantalum, which are known pathfinder elements for Lithium. The Directors believe these results are compelling as it suggests the Mine River Block is fertile for Lithium Caesium Tantalum pegmatite deposits. The six samples that returned elevated lithium were all pegmatite rock boulders collected around mapped granite bodies. The geochemical results demonstrate clear pathfinder elements, which can be used in the targeting of pegmatites in future soil surveys. The results also show a correlation between the lithium bearing pegmatites and north-west south-east trending faults. These fault structures, as well as newly identified mafic and ultramafic bodies to the south-east, have been selected as target areas for the coming months. Once the main areas of interest have been identified, follow up soil surveys will aim to locate areas for trenching and drilling. The recent results follow on from the initial prospecting work over mapped granite bodies in the Company's Mine River licence block. Although the Company has been focused on gold until now, the markets and work of companies in neighbouring licences have driven a revaluation of the ground for other elements. The aim of the reconnaissance work at Mine River was to locate and collect specimens of granite, pegmatite, and aplite for geochemical analysis. All three rock types were discovered and 34 samples were sent to ALS Life Sciences in Loughrea, Ireland for geochemical analysis. All samples were analysed for trace elements using lithium borate fusion prior to acid dissolution followed by ICP-MS and ICP-AES for a full suite of 44 elements. Conversion of lithium parts per million results to percent Li2O involved dividing the ppm results by 10,000 to give a percentage and then multiplying by 2.153 to obtain Li2O equivalent.
