Xtract Resources Plc Moves Towards Production on Antimony Licences Xtract Resources Plc provided an update on work completed on the Amghas and Ighoud antimony licences, both former producing antimony mines and the Board's decision to formally approve further investment to specifically fast track towards production at both mine sites. The antimony exploration licences are held by Xtract's 80%-owned venture, Wildstone SARL. Since the acquisition of these licences last September, the focus has been on the assessment and development of two former mining licences Amghas and Ighoud and completion of baseline and Environmental Impact Assessments and Feasibility Studies required in order to reactivate these former mining licences. Work has revealed notable antimony mineralisation at both sites. Results are such that the Xtract Board has instructed the on-site team to progress project development initially at Amghas and to complete all necessary steps to take the project to production in the shortest timeframe. Clearing of the Amghas site has uncovered an extensive network of underground development providing access to clearly visible high-grade mineralisation (15-40% Sb). Underground sampling has confirmed antimony mineralisation in brecciated wall rock and a potential additional source of future bulk production. Historically mining only recovered visible mineralisation that could be recovered by hand. A mineralised breccia wall rock sample is being collected for dry ore sorting test work. Amenability to dry sorting would potentially a significantly greater tonnage of feed for flotation, producing more antimony in concentrates whilst reducing crushing and milling costs. Successful completion of Independent Phase 1 flotation metallurgical test work. Results confirm the suitability of flotation to produce a saleable concentrate. External metallurgical consultant engaged to produce a final flow sheet and estimated capital expenditure for a centralised float plant situated at Amghas. Front-end gravity test work commissioned to assess the capacity of gravity separation to further improve the final antimony concentrate. In-house resource estimation to be completed in tandem with reinstatement of mining status at Amghas. The current mine plan envisages the installation of a flotation plant to produce a >65% Sb concentrate. New Risk • Nov 15
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 39% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (39% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£7.14m market cap, or US$9.40m).

Xtract Resources plc Announces Operational Xtract Resources Plc announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("Period"). A Phase 1 drill programme completed at the Silverking Cu-Ag project in Zambia. Results received indicate a significant extension of the high-grade mineralisation, tripling the known surface expression to over 260m strike length. Ground VTEM geophysical and geochemical studies are ongoing to define potential drill targets. Initial lithological drilling at the Western Foreland project has confirmed the presence of prospective stratigraphic units that have the potential to host Kamoa-Kakula-style high-grade copper mineralisation. Xtract will manage the exploration and development of the project and meet an expenditure commitment of not less than USD 900,000 over an initial 3-year period. Wildstone SARL hold the exploration and extraction rights for copper, silver, and antinomy across 20 non-contiguous licences in Central Morocco which boast the potential for the rapid development towards a small-scale mining operation. The company also acquired dump material from various sites in the Zambian Copperbelt, valued at USD 1.15 per tonne, for a total investment of USD 300,000, representing an attractive investment for the company. During the reporting period, the focus was on evaluating prospective mining opportunities at the advanced Silverking Cu-Ag Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold project. A phase 1 drilling programme completed on the licence delivered highly encouraging results, more than tripling the surface expression of the high-grade mineralized core at the main Silverking orebody. A Phase 1 diamond drilling programme was completed at Silverking during the reporting period. The main aims of the drilling were to assess the continuity of the main Silverking orebody at surface and at depth, indicate the potential scale of wall-rock alteration assemblages and any potential lower-grade mineralised envelopes surrounding the main breccia pipe body, and test recently discovered satellite targets. The results returned from the drilling have so far tripled the surface expression of the high -grade copper and silver mineralisation to over 260m and include consistent returns of mineralisation over downhole intervals of 25m. Following the completion of the Phase 1 drilling the expenditure threshold has been reached and Xtract have the option to increase its interest to 70% by expending an additional USD 1,000,000 over the subsequent two years. The Phase 2 exploration programme will focus on evaluating mapped and inferred redox boundaries identified during the lithological studies accomplished in Phase 1, conducting detailed ground electro-magnetic (EM) and magnetic surveys along selected profiles, and following-up prospective targets with diamond drilling. Exploration is expected to re-commence at the end of the rainy season in mid-2025. Reconnaissance surface mapping and lithological drilling completed to date have been successful in establishing the prospective stratigraphy of the target area and have provided invaluable information for a broader exploration programme. The licence is currently subject to a dispute with the previous joint venture partner which has restricted Chibwe from developing the project, and a case has been lodged with the High Court for Zambia to have the existing joint venture terminated, releasing the 100% interest in the licence back to Chibwe. Small and Larger Scale Mine Development The parties anticipate that the collaboration could rapidly progress towards small scale mining. Any small-scale mining operation developed will utilise Wildstone's own contractors, and the capital funding for the operation of USD 200,000 will be provided by Xtract, who will be allowed to recover the initial capital by being paid 75% of free cashflow. Australia Bushranger Cu-Au Project, Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales A two-stage review of potential ore pre-concentration methodologies was completed in the previous reporting period by Altrius Consulting Pty. The study concluded that coarse particle flotation tests, using advanced NovaCellTM kinetic flotation equipment technology provided the best results, yielding 78% of copper mineralisation into only 5% of copper mineralisation into Only 5% of the mass, achieving an average average of the mass,000,000,000,000.

Xtract Resources plc Announces Successful Completion of 90-Day Reconnaissance Programme on the Antimony Exploration Licences Held by Wildstone Sarl The Board of Xtract Resources Plc announced the successful completion of a 90-day reconnaissance programme on the antimony exploration licences held by Xtract's 80%-owned venture, Wildstone SARL ("Wildstone"). The licences are located within the Fez-Meknes and Beni Mellal-Khenifra directorates of northern Morocco, situated within two strategic districts inside the "Antimony Triangle," an area bounded by the cities of Rabat, Fez, and Khenifra. Together, the licences cover approximately 380 square kilometres, incorporating areas of known antimony mineralisation, newly identified mineralised structures, potential extensions of antimony-bearing veins, and several former commercial producing mines. Wildstone is now commencing with a focused exploration programme across identified high-priority targets. Exploration activities are being led by Xtract's technical team, in collaboration with newly appointed Moroccan geologists who have appropriate expertise in antimony exploration and mining. The Company is also working closely with a Moroccan-based exploration service provider, responsible for conducting ground geophysical surveys, diamond drilling, and associated fieldwork. The current exploration team of 7 persons will be joined by a mining engineer. Additionally, Xtract is actively building partnerships with small-scale miners operating within and nearby its licences, building on the experience and local knowledge of its Moroccan partners in the sourcing, processing, and trade of antimony ores. Xtract continues to engage with the relevant ministries as well as local landowners and the small-scale mining community. Project Highlights: Reconnaissance completed over all Wildstone's exploration licences across two major districts within Morocco's Antimony Triangle, many exhibiting significant potential antimony mineralisation, historical workings, or prospective structural extensions of known antimony vein systems. Active and historic small-scale mining confirms the widespread presence and prospectivity of antimony mineralisation within the licensed areas. Ground magnetic orientation surveys completed on known mineralised structures to establish geophysical signatures for antimony targets which can now be rolled out to all licences in the portfolio. On 26 February 2025, Xtract announced that it had acquired a 50% share in Wildstone. Under the terms of the agreement ("Agreement"), Xtract committed to spend USD 900,000 over a period of 3 years which will make up the minimum spend on the licenses. On 15 July 2025, Xtract announce that as provided for in the Agreement, it had increased its interest in Wildstone to 80%. With the addition of the New Licences, Xtract has committed a further USD 300,000 for exploration expenditure (being the minimum spend on the New Licences). Wildstone and Xtract intend initially to evaluate all 24 licences and thereafter establish the next exploration and development priorities. Once priorities are established, general exploration, including drilling, will commence and based on results, appropriate projects will be advanced into either small-scale production or in the course of time evaluated for large scale potential. Wildstone has to date has employed a seven strong exploration team, to be complemented by the appointment of a mining engineer. Subject to exploration results, Wildstone envisages the employment of mining and mineral processing personnel to manage future operations in Morocco. Annuncio • Jun 19

Xtract Resources Plc Announces Silverking Project Drilling Update The Board of Xtract Resources Plc confirmed the successful completion of the first three diamond drill holes SKIDD001, 002 and 003 at Silverking and the interception in drill core of copper mineralisation over near-continuous downhole lengths of 46.4 metres, 95 metres and 66.2 metres respectively. Silverking is subject to an option and joint venture agreement ("Joint Venture") with Oval Mining Limited, enabling Xtract to earn-in up to a 70% interest in the Silverking copper mine and accompanying exploration licence located in the Mumbwa District of the Central Province of Zambia. Highlights: · Drill hole SKIDD001 intersected what is described in core logs as significant sulphide mineralisation comprising chalcopyrite, bornite and chalcocite over a drill intercept width of 46.4m from a depth of 93.6m. · Drill hole SKIDD002, drilled approximately 30m below SKIDD001, intersected strong oxide copper mineralisation over a width of 38.2m and a further 56.8m sulphide intersection for a combined 95m mineralised package from a depth of 28m. · Drill hole SKIDD003 intersected semi-continuous oxide and sulphide mineralisation over a substantial width of 66.2m from a depth of 93m. · Drilling is continuing with a focus on establishing the morphology of the main pipe-like structure before moving on to drill a second pipe and other structures within the Project area. · The bornite and chalcocite intercepts together with native copper are encouraging ahead of scheduled copper assays. Silverking Project: As announced on 3 April 2024, Xtract entered into a joint venture agreement with Oval Mining in relation to the Silverking Project and licence. Silverking mineralisation is characterised by deep levels of intense oxidation, breccia, vein and stockwork hosted copper mineralisation and is distinguished by high-grade supergene enrichment, also diagnostic of the nearby Kitumba deposit. The former Silverking open pit and underground mine extends to a mining depth of only 70m and based on underground mapping and historic diamond and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling is believed to remain open both down-dip and along strike. Historic peak Silverking reported drill intercepts including 50m @ 5.47% Cu in borehole SVKRC002 from 55m to 105m depth. The hole stopped in mineralisation. Mineralised intercepts peaked at 52.2% Cu over a 1m drilled interval. A wide-spaced geochemical soil survey supplemented by magnetic and IP ground geophysical surveys undertaken by Glencore identified a number of high priority targets warranting follow-up. In particular, a second breccia pipe located 800m from the main Silverking mineralised body was identified and has not been explored. Evidence at surface suggested possible stockwork or disseminated copper mineralisation between the two breccia pipes. Xtract's proposed exploration work will focus on testing the depth extension of the Silverking breccia pipe, the nearby pipe and general licence exploration. New Risk • Feb 15

Xtract Resources plc Announces the Results ofSecond Stage Review of Pre-Concentration Options for the Bushranger Project in the Lachlan Fold Nsw, Australia Xtract Resources Plc announce the results of a second stage review of pre-concentration options for the Bushranger project in the Lachlan fold NSW, Australia prepared for the Company by Altrius Consulting Pty ("Altrius"). Highlights: The Altrius review concluded that while the Racecourse mineralisation is not considered amenable to upgrade by Tomra ore sorting, other methods of ore sorting/pre-concentration may be more suitable and the Bushranger flowsheet may benefit from alternative pre-concentration technologies. To this end Altrius has recommended further test work on Pre-Screening, Gravity Separation and Coarse Particle Floatation. Accordingly, test work is now being undertaken by ALS in Perth on Pre-Screening and Dense Media Separation (two separate tests). In addition, the Company has commissioned NovaCell Coarse Particle Floatation test work, and this work is progressing favourably. As previously reported, the Bushranger Racecourse project has the potential to be economically mined at rates of 20Mtpa or greater at USD10,000 per tonne copper price or above. The objective of the current work is to re-assess the breakeven copper price for the Project.

Xtract Resources plc Announces Bushranger Pre-Concentration Test Results Xtract Resources Plc announced the results from a study to determine the applicability of the ‘TOMRA’ method to pre-concentrate copper-gold mineralisation from the Racecourse Mineral Resource on the Bushranger Copper-Gold Project (‘Project’) in central New South Wales, Australia. Bushranger Project TOMRA Pre-Concentration Study Following conclusion of the Phase 2 drilling programme on the Bushranger Copper-Gold Project in central New South Wales, Australia, and the finalisation of the upgraded Mineral Resource for the Racecourse Prospect, Xtract undertook pre-concentration test work on five composite samples from four drill holes. Pre-concentration of mineralisation reduces the amount of material needed to be milled and placed through a flotation processing plan, which in turn can reduce pre-production capital and operating costs, with subsequent improvements in the overall economic performance of a project. Xtract engaged TOMRA Sorting Solutions (‘TOMRA’) of Sydney, Australia, to undertake the pre-concentration test work on the five samples. Data was collecting using TOMRA's COM X-Ray Transmission (‘XRT’) system. The COM XRT system detects mineralised particles and then sorts the material into a pre-concentrated product and waste using amplified mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic processes. The sorter is set up /trained using images taken of the samples. The images are then analysed using proprietary TOMRA image processing software. Based upon the images sorting task specific algorithms are then developed and applied to sorting the mineralised material. For the training of the XRT sorter, samples were exposed to high energy X-rays, which project an image onto a sensor. The X-ray sensor signal depends on atomic density and material thickness and gives information on the inner composition of the particles. By combining two energy levels simultaneously, it is possible to differentiate particles by their atomic densities and then separate material into a pre-concentrated product and waste. The primary sorting task was to produce a high-grade product fraction by way of sulphide classification and ejection in a single stage for each sample. All runs conducted for this set of test work were ‘Dual-Energy’ XRT runs. This form of processing is designed to classify and eject relatively high-density sulphides away from the relatively low-density host-rock. All samples were screened to a 20-40mm particle size with the exception of Run 1 (BRDD21_010_Comp) which was run at 25-75mm. All five samples processed with TOMRA achieved upgrades to the copper and gold content of the pre-concentrated ore, while rejecting significant volumes of waste material, with one higher grade sample (Run 4) being an outlier. Excluding the outlier, the average original grade of the four samples of copper-gold mineralisation was 0.23% Cu, while the average grade of the pre-concentrated mineralisation was 0.35% Cu, which shows a grade uplift of 52%. The average mass yield was 36%, meaning that 64% of the original mass of the sample was rejected into the waste product, suggesting that it will be possible to greatly reduce the volume of material needed to be processed through the milling and floatation circuits of a processing plant. The TOMRA pre-concentration results do exhibit a significant amount of variability depending on the quantity of sulphides in the original composite drill core samples. The outlier was Run 4, which had the highest original feed grade material (0.52% Cu), achieved the highest sorted product grade (0.94% Cu), but in a very low mass (mass yield of 5.1%). This suggests that higher-grade material may not benefit from ore sorting to the same extent as the more typical deposit grades and would be more suited to direct processing. The results overall show the potential of the TOMRA system to significantly increase the copper grade into a pre-concentrated product while rejecting potentially over 50% of the original rock mass into waste. The variability of the results indicate that more samples would need to be tested in order to determine an accurate average overall effect for TOMRA pre-concentration. The pre-concentration results are sufficiently positive for the effects of TOMRA pre-concentration to be incorporated into the overall financial model for the Bushranger Project. Consequently, Xtract has engaged Optimal MiningSolutions (Pty) Ltd. of Australia (‘Optimal Mining’)to incorporate the TOMRA results into an updated economic model for the overall Bushranger Project.

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 11% 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. 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 (-UK£5.4m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 20% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (UK£2.1m revenue, or US$2.7m). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£12.0m market cap, or US$15.2m). Reported Earnings • Jun 30

Xtract Resources Plc Provides Update on Kakuyu Copper Project Zambia The Board of Xtract Resources Plc provided shareholders with an update on the Kakuyu copper joint venture project located approximately 53km north-west of the town of Mumbwa, Central Province of Zambia. The Kakuyu Project is located approximately 53km north-west of the town of Mumbwa, Central Province of Zambia, in a region well-known for mining including the nearby mines and occurrences of Sable Antelope, True Blue, Crystal Jacket, Maurice F Gifford, Lou Lou, Silverking and Kamiyobo. The most recent discovery is the Iron Oxide Copper Gold Kitumba project. The Kakuyu Project is covered by two mineral licences, one small-scale mining licence 29805-HQ-SML issued to Kakuyu Mining Limited which is valid until 7 November 2031 covering an area of 201.78 hectares and a second small-scale mining licence currently under application by Kakuyu Mining Limited over an adjoining area of similar size. The Kakuyu Project has been operated at various times in the past by both small-scale commercial and artisanal miners. There has been limited exploration to date of the Kakuyu Project which provides Xtract with an opportunity to make fresh discoveries in an under-explored but prospective region. The Kakuyu Project is centred around the Kakuyu Hill pit and a large hematitic lens found in a fault-controlled setting which is understood either to be a shear hosted Cu-Au deposit or an oxidised post orogenic IOCG deposit, or a combination thereof. The extension of the lens feature with depth is not currently known although the hematitic lens may extend to the west, along strike of the mapped iron unit. Field investigations showed similar features, structures and alteration in the western diggings, outside of the larger Kakuyu Hill pit. There is also a potential for mineralisation to the north of the hill as the area is highly faulted with a smaller wedge of older dolomites sitting within the younger meta-sediments which could form fluid traps. Copper occurs as both oxides and sulphides on fractures, in breccias and as stockworks. The Kakuyu Hill pit has been worked historically (although there is no historic data) to the extent that benches have been put in place to open up the pit. There are also underground artisanal workings with tunnels and a collapsed shaft. Oval Mining has currently removed bulk samples of the potential higher-grade sulphide ores from the pit which have been hand-sorted and stockpiled on site, targeting grades of 3.5-4% Cu. A site has also been created south of the pit for the new waste rock dumps. The deposit type and mineralisation mechanisms are not yet clear from initial field observations and Xtract plans an exploration programme to understand further the type of deposit and mineralisation potential at Kakuyu. This programme is likely to comprise initially a detailed ground IP and/or EM geophysics survey with follow up drilling on identified targets. Reported Earnings • Sep 30
