Nordic Mining ASA Advances the Nordic Quartz Project At Kvinnherad into Its Next Development Phase Nordic Mining ASA is advancing the Nordic Quartz project at Kvinnherad into its next development phase. Key milestones have now been achieved, including establishment of a dedicated project team and enhancement of the landowner agreement, ensuring long-term stability. The Company is preparing to initiate necessary regulatory processes, engage with potential customers and partners for product validation, and plan a qualified drilling programme to update the mineral resource estimate in accordance with international reporting standards. Together, these developments strengthen the project's foundation and support the Company's plans for further progression. The Kvinnherad quartz deposit, held through the wholly owned subsidiary Nordic Quartz AS, has long been a promising asset in Nordic Mining's portfolio. Recent pilot testing has demonstrated that the deposit can be processed to exceptionally high-purity levels, reinforcing its potential as a future source of a high-value industrial mineral. Nordic Mining is currently initiating dialogue with several potential partners and customers to validate product quality and suitability for industrial applications, such as crucibles, silicon metal and specialized glassware for the semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing value chains. Nordic Mining sees this phase as an important step toward de-risking the project and welcomes interest from parties seeking long-term, high-quality quartz supply or collaboration opportunities in high-value end markets. In collaboration with Dorfner Anzaplan GmbH, Nordic Mining has carried out metallurgic testing and pilot-scale production to support the upcoming product qualification with potential customers. In total, 800 kilograms of processed sample material has been produced from raw quartz feedstock from the Kvinnherad deposit. The material underwent a full industrial processing route, including magnetic separation, acid treatment, and hot chlorination, to replicate the conditions of a finished product. The tests generated high-purity quartz (HPQ) with very low impurity levels, demonstrating that the Kvinnherad quartz deposit is among the most suitable quartz resources globally to produce high-end HPQ. HPQ is a critical raw material used in semiconductors, fiber optics, and solar-grade applications, where high chemical purity and thermal stability are essential. Demand for HPQ continues to rise, driven amongst others by rapid growth in semiconductor manufacturing linked to AI development and data-center expansion. As a key input in chip production, HPQ plays an increasingly strategic role in global technology supply chains. The Company has also strengthened its landowner agreement at Kvinnherad, enhancing prospects for long-term planning and stability for the operations, and securing land access and use rights throughout the life of mine. Nordic Mining has the flexibility to advance the project in line with its overall project strategy. While no material investments have been made to date, the progression and pace of further development will be aligned with the Company's overall funding situation and capital allocation plans. Nordic Mining expects less than NOK 20 million in costs for the project during 2026. Although the Kvinnherad Quartz project represents a highly attractive opportunity, Nordic Mining's primary focus remains the continued ramp-up of the Engebø Rutile and Garnet operation toward design capacity by year-end 2026. Progress at Engebø is well underway and remains the Company's top operational priority. The Kvinnherad Quartz project will advance in parallel without drawing resources from Engebø, while at the same time offering additional value-creation potential for the Company. Annuncio • Mar 13
Nordic Mining ASA Provides Operational And Ramp-Up Update At Engebø Rutile And Garnet Nordic Mining ASA provided an operational and ramp-up update from Engebø Rutile and Garnet, including progress made since the launch of the improvement plan in January and the key priorities for reaching steady-state production. Nordic Mining continues to advance through the ramp-up phase. Since January, several technical and operational initiatives have been implemented, with early effects now becoming visible, particularly in the wet plant. In February, an independent third-party validation confirmed that the processing plant can operate at full design capacity. Structured ramp-up plan progressing, with clear priorities for both wet and dry plant. Steady-state production at design capacity by year-end remains the target. Technical adjustments underway across circuits, combined with strengthened operational routines and training. Team of technical and operational experts onsite to support the execution of the ramp up plan. Process and logistics setup continues to support efficient operations as stabilization improves. Overall, the plan initiated in January is beginning to deliver results, with the main operational gains expected through Second Quarter as remaining bottlenecks are addressed. Wet plant improvements: Adjustments to water management and process control have improved water quality, supporting lower number of downtime events and higher throughput. Additional effects are expected during Second Quarter. Rutile circuit: Optimization depends on stable dry-plant performance. This remains a key focus area, supported by external rutile-processing expertise now being brought in. WHIMS circuits: Magnetic separators are being tuned and adjusted for increased capacity and more stable output. The Company will publish a production update on April 13 and present its First Quarter results on May 12. New Risk • Feb 11
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 15% This is considered a minor 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 Earnings have declined by 54% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (kr4.8m revenue, or US$504k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.6% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (15% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Jan 16

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 3.3% 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 (-kr1.2b free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 3.3% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Recent Insider Transactions • Apr 07

Nordic Mining ASA Wins Against AMR on All Counts at the Supreme Court Nordic Mining ASA announced that reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Nordic Mining ASA on 30 November 2022 regarding Artic Mineral Resources' appeal of the ruling from Borgarting Court concerning the Engebø deposit. After full oral arguments before the Supreme Court over 5 days in late January, the Norwegian Supreme Court has ruled. As expected, the ruling is in favour of Nordic Mining on all counts. The court has also ruled that AMR shall pay all legal expenses. With this ruling the litigation from AMR is at an end. As argued by Nordic Mining and the Norwegian Government, the ruling concludes that all minerals in the Engebø deposit ore are owned by the Norwegian state. As a consequence, Nordic Mining, through the mining rights granted by the state, has a sole and exclusive right to mine the Engebø deposit, including titanium and garnet. AMR has never had any claim or rights in the deposit. Recent Insider Transactions • Mar 01
