New major risk - Financial position The company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend. Free cash flow: -AU$15m This is considered a major risk. With less than a year's worth of cash, the company will need to raise capital or take on debt unless its cash flows improve. This would dilute existing shareholders or increase balance sheet risk. 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 (-AU$15m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 47% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$80k revenue, or US$55k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$10.9m market cap, or US$7.49m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 14% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates 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. It also 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 20% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$9.48m market cap, or US$6.60m). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). New Risk • Mar 09
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$13.7m (US$9.65m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 20% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$13.7m market cap, or US$9.65m). New Risk • Jan 15

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 7.6% 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 Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (7.6% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$124.5m market cap, or US$85.4m). Announcement • Sep 25

Highfield Resources Limited Receives Process Plant Licence Authorisation Highfield Resources Limited announced that the Muga Potash Mine has received from the Government of Navarra the authorisation to build on non-urbanised land" the process plant of the Muga Mine The Company has received authorisation from the Government of Navarra to build Muga's process plant on non-urbanised land within the municipality area of Sangüesa. This Authorisation follows the granting of the construction licence for the mine-gate and declines from the Town hall of Undués de Lerda (Aragón) and the licence for the construction of the electricity line from the main network to the Muga Mine by the Town hall of Sangüesa (Navarra). In line with Navarran Licensing and procedural laws, the Town hall of Sangüesa was required to seek authorisation from the Government of Navarra to officially allow construction of the process plant on non-urbanised land. This Authorisation consists of a thorough review of the Muga's process plant construction against Sangüesa's urbanistic plan and any other land management legislation as well as confirming there were no potential constraints related to its location. Although the Town hall of Sangüesa still needs to finalise the granting of the process plant construction licence, the authorisation granted by the Government of Navarra is a very important prerequisite and pivotal milestone. To obtain this Authorisation, the Government of Navarra, the Town hall of Sangüesa and the Company maintained significant levels of engagement and will continue to work together to expedite the grant of the process plant construction licence.

Highfield Resources Limited Provides an Update to the Muga-Vipasca Potash Project Highfield Resources provided an update to the Muga-Vipasca Potash Project (Muga or the Project) Feasibility Study (FS) that reconfirms the compelling economics of the Project. The Project Economics of the Feasibility Study have been updated while maintaining the same Mineral resources and Mine Plan as presented in the 2021 Muga Feasibility Study Update. The 2021 Mine Plan was prepared by Highfield with technical mine planning support from the Spanish mining engineering consultants, IGAN Consulting Group. The portion of the plan that supports the Ore Reserve was reviewed by SRK Consulting ("SRK") which incorporated various capital and operating cost sensitivities into their assessment to confirm its robustness in December 2021. The Mine Plan is based on the Proved and Probable Ore Reserves, but also integrates Inferred Mineral Resources1 as well as the abutting Exploration Target2 tonnes that remain unchanged as per the ASX announcement released on the 23 November 2021, and the additional Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources audited by SRK as per the ASX release on 30 March 2021. All technical parameters in the 2021 Mine Plan continue to apply and have not changed in 2022. Regarding the Inferred Resources included in the Mine Plan, specific areas with thickness below the expected minimum of 2 metres but greater than 1.6 metres have also been considered, given it has the potential to be mined with low profile equipment. The Measured and Indicated Resources that have been included in the Mine Plan refer to the pillars in the exclusion zones under towns and the Bardenas Channel. Highfield considers that these could potentially be mined in the future if and once the backfilling provides enough support to demonstrate there will be no impact on the surface. The Mine Plan which has not changed from the December 2021 Muga Feasibility Study update with a planned production up to approximately 1,000,000 tpa of Muriate of Potash ("MOP") over a mine life of 30 years 3 comprising approximately 18 years of mine life from Ore Reserves and 12 years from additional Mineral Resources and the Exploration Target. Graph 1 below shows the sequencing of the mine plan. Developed by the engineering company Subterra Ingeniería S.L. ("Subterra"), the twin parallel declines have an approximate length of 2.6 km and are planned to be constructed at an average gradient of 15%, which will provide underground access from surface to an approximate depth of 350 metres. The two declines will be built 25 metres apart and will be linked by six cross-cuts. Both declines will have an arched profile and a cross-sectional area of approximately 31 m2 and will be widened at the cross-cut connections and at other various points to accommodate pumping stations and electrical substations. The West decline will accommodate the permanent backfill conveyor during mine operation and will work as the intake ventilation airway, while the East decline will contain the permanent ore conveyor and also act as the return ventilation airway to surface. A bypass will be constructed at the top of the East decline to accommodate the main fans. The planned decline gradients are suitable for both ore conveying and vehicle access, and the decline design provides for underground infrastructure requirements, i.e., staged pumping stations and underground electrical installations. Five different levels of ground support have been specified depending on the various rock type and ground conditions expected along the full length of the declines. A single portal boxcut is shared by both declines and will be adequately protected against rainfall and surface water incursion into the decline developments. The Company plans to implement mechanical excavation by roadheader and/or conventional excavator combined with conventional drilling and blasting. This has now been included in a revised construction project design, which does not include the use of a bolter miner in the West ramp as had been anticipated in the 2021 feasibility study. The bolter miner had a long lead time to construction that required significant advanced payments and did not provide as much flexibility as the Company initially anticipated. This change was the result of extensive engagement with ramp construction contractors who confirmed that the current methodology provides more flexibility in terms of construction and scheduling. Both declines will be excavated using trackless mobile equipment. Roadheaders and/or conventional excavators in combination with two-boom jumbos will be utilised for excavation, face drilling and rockbolting, while 30-tonne low profile mining haul trucks and 14-tonne load-haul-dump loaders ("LHD") will be used to transport material to surface. Development waste rock will initially be moved back from the faces to storage bays and then loaded onto trucks to be hauled to the surface during other development activities. The development excavation will be supported by sprayed concrete and rockbolts. The thickness of sprayed concrete and bolt spacing will be determined by the geological surveys developed by the horizontal drilling undertaken. Announcement • Sep 12
Highfield Resources Limited Provides Update on Muga Mine Construction Highfield Resources Limited provided an update on the progress of the Muga Mine construction. Following Highfield's announcement on 30 June 2022 that the Townhall of Undués de Lerda in Aragón had issued the licence for the construction of the mine gate and the declines, and that construction had commenced, the initial construction work has progressed rapidly through the months of July and August 2022. The construction team are currently ahead of schedule and work is progressing in accordance with the planned budget. Progress has been assisted by favourable dry weather conditions as well as good equipment availability. HIGHLIGHTS: Construction at the Muga Mine commenced in late June 2022 and the preliminary works around the mine gate have progressed ahead of schedule through July and August and are within the planned budget Key items include the completion of the staff facilities, site fencing and stream protection, as well as construction of the box cut, slope and mine gate. Once the excavation of the bottom level of the mine gate area is completed, the slopes will be stabilised with bolts and dry shotcrete through September and October 2022. All of the preliminary works around the mine gate are planned to be completed during the last quarter of calendar 2022. Announcement • Jun 25
Highfield Resources Limited Announces Construction Licence Granted Muga Mine Gate and Declines Highfield Resources Limited announced that the Townhall of Undués de Lerda in Aragón has issued the licence for the construction of the mine gate and the two underground declines. The local Townhalls (councils) of Undués de Lerda (Aragón) and Sangüesa (Navarra) are the responsible approving authorities for the mine gate and the process plant construction licences respectively. Following on from the grant of the mining concession last year, these two licences are essential for the construction of the Muga project (the "Project"). In anticipation of receiving the licence from Undués, the Company had already tendered and contracted the initial works and plans to start initial on-ground construction works in the next few days at the mine gate. The construction of the declines is on the critical path of the Muga project's development timetable and, therefore, starting construction of the declines before the plant improves the Company's internal construction plan. While starting the work in Undués, the Company continues to maintain its active engagement with the Townhall of Sangüesa and the Government of Navarra to complete the Licensing process for the plant.

Muga Project Receives Authorisation for the Electricity Line Construction from the Government of Navarra Highfield Resources Limited announced that the Muga Project has received from the Government of Navarra the authorisation to build on non-urbanised land the electricity line to the mine site. The townhalls of Sangüesa (Navarra) and Undués de Lerda (Aragón) are responsible for the construction licences for the process plant and the mine gate respectively. The part of the electricity line in Navarra is an element of the main construction licence of the processing plant, however the Company requested the authorisation for the electricity line to be approved separately so that it could get it ahead of the main licence. In line with local Licensing procedural laws, the town hall of Sangüesa required an official authorisation from the Government of Navarra to allow construction of the electricity line on non-urbanised land before it can complete the construction licence. The authorisation to build the line on a non-urbanised area is the key step in advancing the grant of the construction licence and has now been granted by the Government of Navarra. The construction of the electricity line is subject to the urbanistic authorisations of the installations which will supply electricity. The Company has been maintaining significant engagement with the town halls of Sangüesa and Undués de Lerda as well as the governments of Navarra and Aragón to continue to expedite the construction licences. Additionally, the Spanish electricity network, Red Eléctrica de España, ("REE") recently announced its Electricity Transmission Network Plan for Navarra up to 2026 to promote green energy and it has already incorporated the connection of the Muga Project to the electricity main network at its Sangüesa substation in its Plan. This connection provides access to a higher voltage network than the electricity line recently authorised by the government of Navarra and which is going to be used during construction. The connection to REE will therefore be a significant advantage for the mine at its operational phase. Price Target Changed • Dec 14

NPV8 of 1.89 billion and 25% IRR; Sensitivity analysis using current flat real spot prices for the whole life of mine results in a post- tax NPV8 of 2.8 billion and a 42% IRR; At full production, EBITDA of around 400 million per annum; Economics resulting in a 30-year mine life; The Feasibility Study is based on significantly more advanced engineering and procurement: in the current Study, 86% of the capex estimate is based on signed contracts, firm offers and updated prices. Compared with 59% in the previous feasibility study update from 2019; Higher degree of confidence in the updated capex numbers with: phase 1 capex of 398 million; phase 2 capex of 209 million. The Company continues to work with its Financial Advisor, Endeavour Financial, to secure an appropriate financing for Phase 1. Based upon its assessment of the Muga Project and following positive feedback on a draft term sheet by a potential syndicate of lenders, the Company is targeting debt sizing of around 300m to start construction of phase 1. The 2021 Mine Plan is based on the Proved and Probable Ore Reserves as well as the abutting Exploration Target as per the ASX announcement released on the 23 November 2021 and the additional Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources audited by SRK Consulting ("SRK") as per the ASX release on 30 March 2021. Underground access will be by twin parallel declines from surface, over a length of 2.6 km to a depth below surface of approximately 350 metres. The declines, approximately 25 metres apart along their length, are connected by three crosscuts. The West decline will be developed with a bolter-miner using continuous haulage systems to transport mined material to surface and the East decline with road-headers. The same type of equipment will be used to develop underground infrastructure including workshops and service areas such as emergency evacuation chambers, pumping stations and electrical rooms. The potash seams are constrained by a minimum mining height of around 2 metres which is consistent with the planned mining equipment. The shallow dipping seams have been detailed designed, utilising a set of two parallel roadways as the main development access, one for fresh air intake and access and the other for exhaust ventilation and both with conveyor belt materials handling systems. The mining method approach is a typical Room and Pillar ("R&P") panel layout. The room width is specified at 8 metres and the height and pillar size is determined by the total combined seam thickness, geotechnical constraints due to depth below surface and/or any equipment limitations. The more steeply inclined potash seams in the north west of the deposit required an alternative mining approach to the R&P panel layout used for the shallow dipping seams, to minimise dilution and maximise extraction, taking into consideration the geotechnical constraints and equipment limitations. For that area, a panel has been designed and the extraction ratio has been applied considering geotechnical constraints due to the seam thickness, depth below surface and/or any equipment limitations. An adaptation of the existing R&P method was considered for developing a practically achievable inclination for the roadways and mining rooms while maintaining the same production targets and utilising the same excavation, material handling and backfill approach. The Project schedule assumes that construction will commence in the first half of 2022 following the preparation for construction. The preparation for construction assumes: Agreement is reached on the construction contract and maximum price with construction partner; Successful procurement of long-lead items; The award of local town hall construction licenses; Finalisation of the debt package, that the Company is running in conjunction with Endeavour Financials. Capex: phase 1 capital expenditure of 398 million; phase 2 capital expenditure of 209 million. Given changes in the potash market and prices since October 2019 and November 2019, with prices increasing considerably, the current European delivered spot price is around 575/t and the Brazil delivered spot price is currently around USD 800/t, compared to an average price of 440/t used in this feasibility study over the life of mine. The potash prices used in the financial modelling have therefore been updated and are now based on the recently released September 2021 forecasts from the independent research company CRU Group ("CRU"). The potash price forecasts in the model are only modestly higher than those used in 2019 (440/t vs 438/t) given the long-term fundamentals of the market have not significantly changed. The potash price forecasts also include the effect of updating foreign exchange rates to reflect current levels, as potash price forecasts are expressed in US dollars as seen in Table 4 above. The salt by-product credit is based on a forecast by Argus Media's most recent salt prices and continue to reflect the commercial production of vacuum salt as well as de-icing salt. The mine gate sales price is 36/tonne for de-icing salt and 55/tonne for vacuum salt. The destination sales strategy is based on 50% of the total phase 1 and 2 production is assumed to be sold into local and regional markets, with 25% sold into northern European markets and 25% to export markets. This has not changed from the strategy used in 2019 and in clarification document published in November 2019 is unchanged. The Company reported to the market that it had received the mining concession permit in an announcement on 5 July 2021. This permit followed the positive environmental permit announced in June 2019 concludes the Government permitting process. The Company has requested the construction licences from the town halls of Sangüesa and Undués, being the two towns closest to the mine site, one in the province of Navarra and the other in Aragón, as well as licences from the water authorities. Key Risks: Key risks identified in this document included: Future conversion of additional Resources (including Inferred) and the Exploration target into Ore Reserves; Adverse movement in the potash price; Adverse movement in key operating costs; Timely project approvals by authorities; Results of future detailed engineering can be uncertain; and Project funding.

Highfield Resources Limited Announces Ore Reserve Estimate and Exploration Target Prepared for Its Muga-Vipasca Potash Project Highfield Resources announced the results of an independent technical review undertaken by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited of the updated Ore Reserve estimate ("ORE") and Exploration Target prepared for its Muga-Vipasca Potash Project. Highfield together with IGAN, a Spanish mining consultant company, recently completed a detailed mine plan for the Project with revised production and backfilling schedules. The mine plan providesdetailed design of access development to the production zones where the shallow dipping seams, which cover most of the initial years of production, will be mined. The updated ORE takes into account the conditions and constraints resulting from the Environmental Permit ("DIA") and Mining Concession (awarded 1 July 2021), primarily related to exclusion zones. The updated ORE also considers the most recent MRE which now includes the Vipasca Licence areawhere seven additional drillholes have been completed since the previous estimate was produced.

Highfield Resources Limited Provide an Update on the Muga Project Highfield Resources announced that the company is now ready to issue all relevant engineering documentation to construction partner. The key areas covered by the engineering documentation are the design of: the mine, including the declines to the mineralization; the processing plant, and urbanization; and the tailings dewatering and the backfilling systems. The work on formalising the Company's debt financing strategy has already started with Endeavour Financial, a leading independent advisor dealing exclusively with the natural resources sector. The aim of this work is to maximise the debt package as part of the overall Muga Project financing strategy. The Company also continues to engage with key brokers and strategic partners as it prepares to secure the equity portion of the financing at some stage after the receipt of the Mining Concession. The Authorities in Aragon, Madrid and Navarra started their detailed review and analysis during the year. Following the public exposition in August 2020, the Authorities split the Mining Concession review into five sections covering all aspects of the Project. The Company has made significant progress in the last quarter of the year in engineering and ordering long lead items, notably the bolter miner, to ensure Project readiness by year end. At the same time, in the last few months, the Company has implemented cash preservation measures including a headcount reduction and a significant reduction in consultant spend. With all of that, the Company is committed to maintain a cash balance of approximately AUD 20 million by year end. The Project has been advanced to this point in line with expectations and it does not require any significant development until the final stage of the Mining Concession process is completed. On that basis, the Company is undertaking additional austerity measures to ensure that it continues to maintain a healthy cash balance and will not require any additional capital until after the Muga Mining Concession is granted.
