Rome Resources Commences Small-Scale Tin Mining Programme At Kalayi Project Rome Resources plc commenced a small-scale tin mining programme at its Kalayi project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The small-scale tin mining programme fulfils a key regulatory requirement of the Company's small-scale exploitation permit 13274 (PEPM 13274) and is designed to support the conversion of PEPM 13274 into a full mining licence (Exploitation Licence under DRC mining law). Early indications are encouraging: the site team has reported portable XRF readings of up to 17% tin within the exposed mineralised zone. The mining programme is expected to generate valuable geological, metallurgical and processing data, supporting the further Mineral Resource Estimates and is expected to improve the Company's understanding of the Kalayi Project's vein system. Mining operations are anticipated to generate modest revenues through the sale of tin concentrate via the State facility at Walikale, with limited capital expenditure required. The Kalayi deposit is hosted within steeply dipping cassiterite-bearing quartz veins with strong surface expression. The small-scale mining programme targets the shallow tin-bearing material in the vicinity of previous trenching in the northern part of the deposit, with operations involving driving a short mining adit into the mineralised zone along strike. Early indications are positive, with the site team reporting portable XRF readings of up to 17% tin within in the shaft walls of the exposed mineralised zone, consistent with results from earlier surface trenching and supportive of the near-surface continuity of mineralisation. A small washing plant is expected to be installed. The resulting product, anticipated to be a 60-80% tin concentrate, will be sold through the State facility at Walikale. Operations are anticipated to generate modest revenues; income generated is incidental to the programme's primary regulatory and geological objectives. In addition to its regulatory purpose, the programme is expected to provide valuable material for further metallurgical testing and improve the Company's understanding of the detailed configuration and continuity of the tin-bearing vein system, information that cannot be fully obtained from drill core alone. The Board notes that the limited scale of the operation is not expected to have any material impact on the resource potential of the Kalayi deposit. Health, safety and environmental performance remain a key priority for management. Site supervisors will follow a regime of regular reporting to ensure safe operating practices are maintained throughout the programme. Announcement • Jun 11

Rome Resources Commences 2026 Field Programme At New Brunswick Tin-Tungsten-Indium Project Rome Resources plc provided an update on the proposed 2026 field programme at the New Brunswick tin-tungsten-indium project in Eastern Canada. As announced by the Company on 10 March 2026, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire working interests in early-stage exploration licences across 109 km2 of mining claims in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick, close to the Mount Pleasant deposit, hosting the Three Lakes and Schoullar Mountain Projects. It was further noted in the announcement that during the Option's period Rome Resources shall act as the operator of the licences connected to the Projects and be responsible, inter alia, for carrying out exploration on the Licences. It is expected that the 2026 field programme will commence this week. As operator, Rome Resources expects to incur a maximum of CAD 150,000 in costs in relation to the 2026 field programme, following which it will assess its position regarding the exercise of the Option. The 2026 field programme is commencing across three priority target areas in New Brunswick. Over 500 samples are planned from surface and trench sampling. The land package subject to the Option includes areas adjacent to the historic Mount Pleasant Tungsten Mine, a past-producing tungsten operation. The field programme targets tin, tungsten and indium mineralisation in a highly prospective North American critical minerals district. The Late Devonian Granite play of southwestern New Brunswick is a tin-tungsten-molybdenum-indium system with pervasive greisenisation in the later stages of intrusion. Substantial showings of the target minerals have been identified across the district. While the district remains largely underexplored by modern standards, it includes the historic Mount Pleasant Tungsten Mine and numerous historical tin and tungsten workings. The region hosts extensive granite-related mineralisation, including critical minerals such as tin, tungsten and indium, commodities which continue to attract increasing strategic attention globally. The 2026 programme of fieldwork will focus on assessing the potential for exploration drilling across several tin and tungsten showings in three key areas of the Devonian granite play of southwestern New Brunswick. The programme is expected to include over 500 samples which are likely to be taken for assays in a mixture of surface and trench sampling across the three main target areas. Schoullar Mountain is located a few kilometres east of the historic Mount Pleasant Tungsten Mine and in the vicinity of an undeveloped tin zone, this target lies within the same broader mineralised system. The programme in this area will focus on sampling along four historical IP profiles, including trenching in two areas where the IP chargeability is interpreted to be close to surface. Square Lake is situated on the eastern greisenised margin of the Mount Douglas granite, this area will be sampled in and around the vicinity of several groups of historical workings for tin and tungsten. Victoria Lake (an expanded and re-named Three Lakes Project referred to in the Company's 10th March 2026 announcement) comprises a large area of claims along the youngest greisenised phase of the Mount Douglas granite, where multiple showings of tin and tungsten have been identified. Grades of up to 1.4% tin have been identified in surface sampling. The proposed work programme will combine surface sampling in the greisen along with targeted trenching in areas with near-surface tin mineralisation. Rome Resources has been awarded an exploration grant covering a portion of its 2026 Field Programme expenditures.
