Resource Development Group Limited Announces High Purity Manganese Project Update Resource Development Group Limited provided an update on the successful production of further samples of High Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM) using its own proprietary technology to process ore from its 100% owned Ant Hill manganese deposit, and its aim of securing a strategic partner to advance the project into full-scale production. This announcement follows on from the one made on 29th November 2024 and is in line with the Company's objective of becoming a Battery Minerals producer. The initial Micro Plant runs used ore from the same diamond drill holes as used in the previously reported testwork. The assorted samples remaining after the previous testwork were blended to give a series of samples of different feed composition which partially covered the anticipated variability in composition across the Ant Hill deposit. A further 100kg of ore were obtained from stockpiles to the south of the deposit and at the former site of the beneficiation plant developed prior to RDG taking ownership of the project. An additional 250kg was collected from the same stockpiles to allow continuation of the optimisation work in the Micro Plant and to produce samples of HPMSM which have been made available for qualification testing to various OEM's. Following on from previous announcements, the present runs were made using the same flowsheet but at larger scale on a semi-continuous basis. Reagents commercially available in bulk were used to better understand the importance of reagent purity on the process. Reagents from different sources were trialled and were found to have variable levels of impurities which affected the purification process. Additional work was undertaken to source reagents with lower impurities from other suppliers. The initial runs in the Micro Plant were used to provide technical data, which was used by Carnac Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd. (Carnac) to develop the 50,000tpa (Train 1) SysCAD model of the process. The leachate was processed through purification and crystallisation to give manganese sulphate crystals. Substantial process development occurred during these runs to gain a better understanding of the interrelationship between temperature, time, impurity removal, reagent type and addition and the general
operating conditions. The reagent requirements, operating temperature, residence times, maximum impurity levels in solution and a range of other parameters were optimised for each stage using the Micro Plant.Further smaller scale runs were undertaken to allow investigation of alternative process options, including alternative methods for removing impurities. The most recent runs to produce samples for OEM qualification used the same flowsheet, reagents and operating conditions in order to assess the consistency of the process.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.3% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (10% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.3% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$132.8m market cap, or US$89.0m). お知らせ • Oct 05

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (10% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 11% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$129.8m market cap, or US$83.5m). Reported Earnings • Sep 01

Resource Development Group Limited Provides Lucky Bay Garnet Project Update Resource Development Group Limited provided the following project update as the processing plant construction is now completed with commissioning well underway. Finished screened garnet products are now being produced with the commissioning of the Mineral Separation Plant and Screening & Packaging facility. Further resource extension drilling and heavy mineral (HM) analysis is planned to commence in November after which an update to the project resource will be completed. RDG acquired the Lucky Bay Garnet Project (Lucky Bay) during January 2021 through its wholly owned subsidiary, Australian Garnet Pty Ltd. (AGPL). Lucky Bay's tenements, located between the coastal towns of Kalbarri and Port Gregory, are contiguous with the world's largest supplier of highquality alluvial garnet. Highquality alluvial garnet products are used in the abrasive blasting and waterjet cutting markets. Since acquiring the project, RDG has undertaken the design, procurement and construction of a worldclass processing facility with RDG's wholly owned subsidiary, Central Systems (Centrals) responsible for the overall construction of the project. The Company is extremely pleased to report that it has maintained a safe work environment at Lucky Bay with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of zero for the duration of the construction period, a pleasing statistic enjoyed by the entire Company, for the duration of the construction works onsite. Topsoil clearing and establishment of the bund walls is now completed for the initial mining stage. The Mining Unit Plant has completed commissioning and is performing well. Scheduled throughput for the plant is approximately 480tph. During commissioning the plant was able to sustain its design throughput of 600tph comfortably, without any issues. The Wet Concentrator plant construction is completed. Some upgrade work has been designed and implemented to the slime tails thickener and tailings stackers to improve operational performance. These changes are performing well, and the plant is continuing to steadily increasing daily throughput as the plant performance and heavy mineral recoveries are optimised. Commissioning of the Mineral Separation Plant is nearing completion and is performing well. The screening plant and packaging facility commissioning is also proceeding well with first bagged garnet products coming off the production lines last week. Packaged products are being stocked for dispatch to customers during this coming week. Foundations are being prepared for the renewable energy infrastructure that will initially include seven 600kw wind turbines that will be connected to the local mine grid. The foundations and underground cabling are targeted for completion by the end of this year. Installation of the towers, turbines and associated electrical infrastructure to integrate and manage the windfarm is planned to be commissioned by mid2023. Resource drilling is planned to commence in November to extend and upgrade the northern end of the Menari North deposit. The drilling program is designed to evaluate 4.5km of northerly strike length from the northern boundary of M70/1387 where drilling by Westralian Sands in the late 1990's intersected zones of significant Heavy Minerals. An updated resource estimate that includes this new drilling is anticipated towards the end of March 2023. Lucky Bay is located approximately 530km north of Perth and 35km south of Kalbarri. RDG's wholly owned subsidiary Australian Garnet Pty Ltd. (AGPL) holds two granted mining leases covering 1,572 hectares and two Exploration Licences totalling 7,394 hectares, which combined make up the Lucky Bay Garnet Project area. The Lucky Bay project area is north of GMA Garnet Group's existing garnet operation, which is the world's largest supplier of highquality alluvial garnet and have successfully been in operation for the past 40 years. お知らせ • Oct 05

Resource Development Group Limited Provides Sunday Hill Mineral Resource Statement Resource Development Group Limited provided Sunday Hill Mineral Resource Statement. The Sunday Hill Mineral Resource, reported in accordance with the JORC Code as of the 1st June 2021, is estimated to be 5.0 million tonnes at 18.0 % Mn, 22.8 % Fe and 19.1 % SiO2, using a nominal Mn cut-off of
10%. The Sunday Hill Deposit is located on tenement M46/237, approximately 120 km southeast of Marble Bar and 5 km north of the Ant Hill Deposit. The topology is denoted by a prominent mesa that rises 20-30 metres above the surrounding plain. The following Mineral Resource Estimate was generated by Jason Gotte, who is a full time employee of Mineral Resources Limited. The Resource Estimate was reviewed by Matt Watson who is a full time employee of Mineral Resources Limited. Mr. Watson is acting as the competent person as defined by JORC 2012. Sunday Hill is a fault-bounded, remnant outlier of mid-Proterozoic sediments forming a broad syncline approximately 3 km wide and 4 km long and dipping shallowly to the West. The area contains rocks from the Coondoon (MnC), Hamersley (Hm) and Fortescue (Fj) Formations. A prominent scarp occurs along the North Eastern margins of the deposit, where the Manganese and Hamersley Groups are faulted against Fortescue Group sediments. Massive manganite mineralisation is also hosted within the sub-horizontal mudstones of the Marra Mamba Formation (Hamersley Group) and siliceous cherts of the Pinjan Chert Breccia: a karst-replacement of the Carawine Dolomite. Mineralisation trends NW-SE, dipping to the south-west. The mineralisation has a strike extent of 800 m with down dip extensions of 200 m and thicknesses of 40 m. In 2020, Resource Development Group completed an additional 71 RC holes (4,239m) and 3 Diamond holes (150.4m) with the aim of generating a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in compliance with JORC 2012. All drilling completed in the 1970s was completed using open hole percussion. All post 1970 drilling was completed using RC face sampling hammers, and PQ3 size core for diamond drilling. Drill spacing is variable across the deposit. In the southern areas, drill spacing is nominally 25 mE x 50 mN while in the Northern areas drilling spacing is wider where the steep nature of the topography has hindered the accessibility of drill rigs. The majority of post 1970 drilling has been orientated at -60 degrees towards 055°, designed to intercept the true width of mineralization. All collars have been snapped to a topographical surface derived from a LIDAR dataset. お知らせ • Feb 02
