Lindian Resources Fully Funds Kangankunde Project as Q4 2026 Production Target Nears Lindian Resources is progressing construction at its Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, with first production targeted for Q4 2026.
The project is fully funded through a $100 million institutional placement and an additional $11.6 million facility from a Malawian bank, avoiding the need for external debt.
The company expects first ore on the run-of-mine pad in June, has secured in-country sulfuric acid supply, and has added seven new senior leaders to support its move from developer to producer, including plans to use the SARECO hydrometallurgical facility in Kazakhstan.
The combination of full project funding, locked-in key reagent supply and senior hires indicates that management is focused on reducing execution risk as Kangankunde progresses toward production.
Investors may want to monitor upcoming construction and commissioning milestones, as any delays, cost pressures or operational issues at Kangankunde or SARECO could influence the project’s timing and economics. Announcement • Apr 01

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 13% 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$48m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 40% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 42% 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.

Lindian Resources Limited Publishes an Exploration Target for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project Lindian Resources Limited published an Exploration Target for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project which, together with the recently published Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE'), clearly establishes Kangankunde as one of the world's largest rare earths projects, underpinned by excellent grade, uniquely non-radioactive material and a high percentage of rare earth elements that are key to the clean energy transition. The Exploration Target for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project Central Carbonatite is between 400 million tonnes (lower range) to 800 million tonnes (upper range) grading between 2.0% and 2.7% TREO. Lindian completed two deep core drill holes beneath the MRE to test the potential for additional extensions to mineralisation. Exploration Target has been determined for the Central Carbonatite of the Kangankunde rare earths project in addition to the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) [1]. The Exploration Target has been considered following the successful Phase 2 deep drilling program that showed the continuity of high-grade rare-earth mineralisation up to 800 metres beneath the limits of the MRE. The significant intercepts reported in these depth extension holes were: 853.6 metres at 2.73% TREO from 52 metres in KGKRCDD074[2] and, 1,000 metres at 2.60% TREO, including, 805.26 metres at 2.90% TREO from 152.85 metres in KGKDD009 The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore is an approximation. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource in the area considered an exploration target and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. The Exploration Target is based on the current geological understanding of the mineralisation geometry supported by more than 17,000 metres of drilling, resource estimation modelling and surface mapping but does not consider factors related to geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. This estimate provides an assessment of the potential scale of the Kangankunde project mineralisation beyond the existing MRE and the work programs needed to convert this estimate to a resource in the future. The reported Kangankunde Central Exploration Target is defined by: The resource model for Kangankunde Central which is based on three-dimensional geological domains defined by drilling and surface mapping. The reported resource from this model was limited by data density to an inferred classification with the depth limit ranging from 200 metres (800mRL to the 600mRL) to 400 metres (750mRL to 350mRL) below surface. Beneath the inferred resource limit mineralisation has been identified by drill holes KGKRCDD074 and KGKDD009 to extend to -200mRL, 600 to 800 metres below current MRE limit. In addition to depth extension, the margins of the mineralisation have not been fully tested with surrounding wall rock/carbonatite breccias shown to be mineralised where drilled. To date drilling has not tested fully the lateral extents of this mineralisation. The Exploration Target lower tonnage range of 400 million tonnes assumes a depth limitation to the 200m RL. This material was included in the assessment of the existing resource model estimation but has insufficient drilling data to be classified according to JORC guidelines. The Exploration Target upper tonnage range projects the mineralisation below the current model limit from the 200mRL to the -200mRL, a further 400 vertical metres beyond the Exploration Target lower tonnage range depth limit. This depth extent is supported by drill holes KGKRCDD074 and KGKDD009 that both contained consistent rare earths mineralisation to this depth. This upper range tonnage assumes the tonnes of the lower 400 metres of the existing resource model (600mRL to 200mRL) will be replicated from 200mRL to -200mRL. The Exploration Target lower grade range is based on a 10% reduction of the MRE grade to account for the halo of surrounding lower grade mineralisation, while the upper grade range is based on an approximation of the higher-grade contiguous carbonatite grades assayed from KGKDDRC74 and KGKDD009 at depth. Other potential areas for exploration at North Knoll and South Knoll have not been included at this stage and are the subject of a mapping and sampling program to be completed by December 2023. The Central Carbonatite exploration target will be evaluated by drill programs aimed at creating a reportable resource. This work is anticipated to be conducted on a staged basis in conjunction with mine development over future years and consistent with staged operation expansion planning. The Phase 3 infill drilling program is nearing completion. The aim of the program was to increase data density and subsequently resource estimation confidence in mineralisation to be included in the Project Feasibility Study. Announcement • Sep 18
Lindian Resources Limited Receives Assay Results from KGKDD009 Lindian Resources Limited advised of the receipt of assay results from KGKDD009, the second of two holes in the Phase 2 depth extension exploration drilling program, and drill hole KGKRCDD083, at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project, Malawi. These Phase 2 deep drill holes demonstrate mineralisation extends below the envelope of the maiden Minerals Resource Estimate of 261 million tonnes at 2.19% TREO. Both holes reported in this release were planned to test the depth extensions of the mineralisation. KGKDD009 was successfully completed to its design dept of 1,000 metres. Both holes reported in this release were planned to test the depth extensions of the mineralisation. KGKDD009 was successfully completed to its design dept of 1,000 metres. KGKRCDD083 was stopped at 325 metres due to excessive hole deviation. This hole was mineralised from surface and has provided valuable information on the undrilled western boundary of the carbonatite. Hole KGKDD009 is a core hole drilled from surface on the northern end of the Kangankunde rare earth deposit central carbonatite. The hole was drilled on an azimuth of 182 at a dip of -65 degrees and designed to test the northern mineralisation of the deposit to a vertical depth of over 1,000 metres below the hilltop surface and 700 metres below the current mineral resource estimate depth limit. The hole was collared toward the base of the Kangankunde hill. The hole intersected mineralised breccia from surface with the initial 64.82 metre intersection consisting of mixed gneiss and carbonatite breccia averaging 2.04% TREO. This interval was followed by 129.92 metres of wall rock gneiss breccia with intermittent narrow high-grade zones of carbonatite, as veins, or carbonatite clasts within the breccia and averages 1.06% TREO. From 194.74 metres down hole the rock type becomes dominantly carbonatite, initially as a mixed breccia with increasing carbonatite content and rare earth content with depth. This rock type is the main carbonatite core of the deposit and is highly mineralised, averaging 2.89% over 805.26 metre intersection to the end of hole (EOH). The grade increases in tenor and consistency with depth with the lower 288.08 metres from 711.92 metres to 1,000 metres (EOH) averaging 3.50% TREO. KGKRCDD083 was planned to be drilled from west to east on an azimuth of 090 and dip of -50 degrees. The hole was terminated at 325 metres depth due to excessive hole deviation 3). This drilling included a 150 metre RC pre-collar that intersected a mineralised carbonatite wall rock breccia (mixed breccia) from surface (the pre-collar has been previously reported as 150 metres @ 2.41% TREO, refer ASX release dated 31 July 2023). This high-grade mineralisation has led to the western boundary of the mineralisation being extended 100 metres to the west of previous interpretation and was included in the current MRE. The core tail drilled from 150 to 325 metres (EOH) is mineralised in a mixed breccia and carbonatite rock types as bands including 132.51 metres at 2.84% TREO from 192.49 metres to EOH. A phase 3 drill program has commenced and is designed as an infill program to define a portion of the current Inferred Resource as Indicated resources for mine development feasibility studies.

Lindian Resources Limited Reports Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 261 Million Tons At High Grade of 2.19% Treo Lindian Resources Limited announced the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi of 261 million tonnes averaging 2.19% TREO above a 0.5% TREO cutoff grade. The resource is entirely Inferred status, has been estimated in accordance with JORC 2012 guidelines. The Kangankunde Rare Earths Project is located in the south of Malawi, 90 km north of the city of Blantyre. The mineral tenements include a Medium Scale Mining Licence (MML0290/22) which is surrounded by Exploration Licence EPL0514/18R. The Exploration and Mining Licences have an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Licence No.2:10:16 issued under the Malawi Environmental Management Act No. 19 of 2017.Both licences are in good standing with no known impediments. On 1 August 2022 Lindian announced the acquisition of 100% of Malawian registered Rift Valley Resource Developments Limited (Rift Valley) and its 100% owned title to Exploration Licence EPL0514/18R and Mining Licence MML0290/22. Under the terms of the Transaction, Lindian has an agreement to acquire all the shares in Rift Valley from its existing shareholders for US$30 million, payable in tranches. To date, Lindian has paid US$20.0 million in cash and is the registered owner of 67% of the shares in Rift Valley. The remaining amount of USD 10.0 million is due 48 months from the signature date of the Share Purchase Agreement, or on the commencement of production at which time the remaining 33% of the shares in Rift Valley will be transferred to Lindian. The Kangankunde Hill rises to a height of up to 200 m above the surrounding plain. The deposit contains a central zone of carbonatite rocks passing outwards to a series of zones of altered breccias of varying composition of carbonatite and wall rock clasts in a carbonatite matrix, and ultimately into unaltered gneiss host rock. Similar to many rare earth deposits, the main rare earth containing mineral in the deposit is monazite. Estimation domaining utilised multi-element relationships from minor rock chemistry and rare earth mineralisation to define five domains within the overall carbonatite limits. These domains were assessed against geological understanding and field observations from surface mapping and drill core and were considered appropriate representations of the mineralisation distribution. Leapfrog was utilised to build mineralisation domain wireframes and to code sample intervals with the applicable domain. Drilling completed at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project and used to support the MRE includes eight diamond core (DD) holes, 76 reverse circulation (RC) holes, and 7 RC holes with diamond core tails (RCD) for a total of 15,831 m. All holes are drilled from surface with various orientations depending on terrain constraints. RC drilling utilised a 5.25" (134 mm) face sampling hammer to generate one-metre samples, which are placed into large plastic bags marked with the hole ID and sample interval. Sample weights are recorded for each sample, with recovery maximised via use of PVC collars in upper portions of the collar. Diamond drilling used a HQ triple tube size (~61.1 mm diameter) with the triple tube techniques used to maximise core recovery. NQ core was used for deeper drill holes. Drill core was collected from a core barrel and placed in appropriately marked core trays. Down hole core run depths were measured and marked with core blocks. Core was measured for core loss and core photography and geological logging completed. Samples from the RC drilling are collected on one-metre intervals from the rig mounted cyclone and placed into large plastic bags. These are subsequently split using a two-tier riffle splitter to obtain a ¼ sub-sample. This is subsequently reduced in a single-tier riffle splitter to generate an A and B sample reduced to a nominal 1.5 kg. Sample lengths for diamond drilling were determined by geological boundaries with a maximum sample length of 2 metres applied. The core was cut using an electric core saw. Quarter core was submitted to ALS for chemical analysis using industry standard sample preparation and analytical techniques. Certified reference materials (CRM), analytical blanks, and field duplicates were used as part of the QAQC procedures and were each inserted at a rate of 1:20 samples. All samples were dispatched by air freight direct to ALS laboratory in Johannesburg for sample preparation. Following sample preparation, a 30-gram pulverised sub-sample is shipped to ALS Perth Australia for analysis. Sample preparation included whole sample crushing to 70% less than 2mm, Boyd rotary slitting to generate a 750g sub-sample, and pulverising to achieve better than 85% passing 75 microns. Analysis for REE suite was via Lithium Borate Fusion ICP-MS (ALS code ME-MS81h), with elements analysed at ppm levels. This method is considered a total analysis. Insitu dry bulk density was determined using the Archimedes method on a 20 metre downhole interval from available core drilling. A total of 96 samples were tested with dry bulk density ranging from 2.08 g/cm3 to 3.45 g/cm3 with the average of 2.95 g/cm3 used in resource estimation. Future work should include more testing and establishment of a grade density relationship if possible. Board Change • Aug 01

Lindian Resources Limited Announces Receipt Further Assays from the Phase 1 Drilling Program At the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi Lindian Resources Limited announced the receipt further assays from the Phase 1 drilling program at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The assays reported are for reverse circulation (RC) drill holes. All holes again have intersections of non-radioactive material with excellent grade for their entire lengths (surface to end-of-hole) and with a significant percentages of critical Rare Earths metal elements of NdPr. The Company also confirms that metallurgical test work is underway in South Africa and will begin in Australia very shortly with the arrival of a 1 tonne sample which has now cleared Australian Customs and is undergoing sterilization in Brisbane prior to dispatch to the testing facility in Perth. DRILL ASSAY RESULTS: Assay results have been received for a further three (3) reverse circulation (RC) holes KGKRC0012, KGKRC0013, and KGKRC014 from the Phase 1 drilling program on the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. table 1 lists the significant intersections for holes KGKRC12, KGKRC13 and KGKRC014 reported in this announcement. These holes were designed to evaluate two areas: KGKRC12 and KGKRC014 are part of a radial pattern of holes testing the central northern area of the carbonatite complex. KGKRC012 drilled north (360o) at a dip angle of -45o on section with the previously reported KGKRC0081 (272 metres from surface averaging 2.06% TREO) intersected carbonatite and mixed carbonatite/gneiss breccia zones over its entire length assaying 210 metres at 1.92% TREO including significant intersections of 47 metres at 3.23% TREO from 134 metres and 13 metres at 3.28% TREO from 194 metres. East facing cross section showing KGKRC012 in relation to the previously reported holes KGKRC006 and KGKRC008 on this section. None of these holes has intersected the northern boundary of the central carbonatite and holes KGKRC008 and KGKRC012 will be extended by core drilling and planned to test the boundary of the carbonatite. KGKRC014 designed to be drilled east (090o) at a dip angle of -45o intersected carbonatite and mixed carbonatite/gneiss breccia from surface to 183 metres followed by 16 metres of a mafic rock interpreted to be a dyke barren of rare earths. From 199 metres to 209 metres (EOH) the drillhole intersected mineralised mixed carbonatite/gneiss breccia. The hole will be continued with core drilling. North facing cross section 8327100mN showing KGKRC014 in relation to previously reported holes KGKRC002, KGKRC003 and KGKRC006, and KGKRC025 which is awaiting assay results. This section also shows the planned depth extension drill hole to be drilled on completion of the Phase 1 definition drilling. None of these holes has intersected the eastern or western boundary of the central carbonatite and all except the vertical hole KGKRC006 will be extended by core drilling. KGKRC013 is drilled in the central Kangankunde carbonatite area. The hole is oriented due east (090) at a dip angle of -60o. The hole intersected carbonatite and mixed carbonatite breccia from surface to 162 metres (EOH) for its entire length. No sample was recovered between 62 metres to 73 metres due to broken ground. The hole finished in mineralisation and will be extended with core drilling. Neodymium and Praseodymium Ratio: The mineralisation is dominated by light rare earths cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr). The total of Nd+Pr content in oxide form constitutes on average 21% of the TREO in all holes reported in this release. Announcement • Jan 24
Lindian Resources Limited Announces Further Assays from the Phase 1 Drilling Program At the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi Lindian Resources Limited announced the receipt further assays from the Phase 1 drilling program at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The assays reported are for reverse circulation holes, KGKRC005, KGKRC007, KGKRC009 KGKRC0010 and KGKRC011. All holes have intersections of non-radioactive material with excellent grade for their entire lengths and with a large percentage of critical Rare Earths metal elements of NdPr. Assay results have been received for a further 5 reverse circulation holes, KGKRC005, KGKRC007, KGKRC009, KGKRC010 and KGKRC011 from the Phase 1 drilling program on the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. These holes were designed to evaluate two areas: KGKKRC005 and KGKKRC007 targeted discrete carbonatite zones on the western side of the complex observed from surface mapping to be within a mixed breccia host. Assay results from these drill holes show both holes intersected thick high-grade rare earths mineralisation including 82 metres at 3.12% TREO in KGKRC005. Thick intersections of mineralization including assays of 65 metres at 3.64% followed by 29 metres at 3.71% in KGKRC007. Examination of drill core of the unassayed KGKRCDD003 indicates this high-grade carbonatite hosted mineralisation is bounded to the east by a mixed breccia of carbonatite and wall rock as also indicated by the surface mapping. Mineralisation is present at the end of both holes, and they will be extended by core drilling The main central carbonatite to the east of KKRC007 and approximately 50 to 100 metres south of previously reported TREO assay intercepts. Hole KGKRC009 and KGKRC010 both intersected mixed breccia with KGKRC009 passing into the main carbonatite body at 38 metres depth. KGKRC009 was mineralised throughout with the carbonatite from 81 metres to 131 metres recording 50 metres 2.75% TREO. KGKRC009 will be extended with core drilling further east to test the full width of the central carbonatite. KGKRC010, a vertical hole, was drilled entirely in consistently mineralised mixed breccia of carbonatite and altered wall rock, with the entire hole intersecting 138 metres at 1.47% TREO. KGKRC11, a vertical hole drilled 60 metres south-south-west of KGKRC010 in the central carbonatite was stopped at 32 metres depth due to broken ground. The hole intersected carbonatite for its full depth with 32 metres at 2.68% TREO including 19 metres at 3.08% from 13 metres to the end of hole. This area will be subject to follow up drilling later in the program. The mineralisation is dominated by light rare earths cerium, lanthanum, neodymium and praseodymium. The total of Nd+Pr content in oxide form constitutes on average 19% of the TREO in all holes reported. Radionuclides uranium and thorium continue to be low in all drilling. Detailed individual interval assays are shown in Appendix 2 of this release. The western high-grade rare earths intercepts in the western holes KGKRC005 and KGKRC007 both show markedly lower levels of radionuclides than the eastern holes. This also indicates likely different carbonatite phases with some compositional variation. The Phase 1 drilling program is presenting core samples of the deposit that are allowing classification of the rock types and mineralisation by the geology team. The most common rock type seen is carbonatite, which is variably altered with iron oxide, manganese oxide and pink potassic alteration. To date all the carbonatite assayed has been mineralised with rare earths elements hosted in the mineral monazite. A typical monazite contains various quantities of light rare earths with the most common composition being PO4. Thorium is typically elevated in most monazite occurrences. The monazite at Kangankunde has an unusual variation including rare earths elements like praseodymium but with very low thorium levels. Kangankunde contains brecciated rocks related to wall fracturing during the intrusive formation including mixed breccias of carbonatite and the wall rock, often altered gneiss. This rock is being called a mixed breccia and contains mineralisation in monazite bearing carbonatite occurring as clasts and matrix. The Kangankunde drilling program is planned in separate phases with distinct target outcomes. The Company commenced drilling at Kangankunde in late October 2023 with the intention to undertake a drill program that could potenitally culminate in a mineral resources estimate by June 30 2023. PHASE 1 DRILL PROGRAM: The Phase 1 program consists of 10,000 metres of RC drilling and 2,500 metres of core drilling on the Kangankunde hill top. The drill pattern is based on 50 metre east-west sections, and as radial fans perpendicular to the interpreted carbonatite boundary where topography provides access. The program is designed to give initial data for resource evaluation and mine planning. PHASE 2 DRILL PROGRAM: Two additional deep drill holes are planned from drill pads near the base of the Kangankunde hill and are designed to allow drilling to continue during the wet season. These two drill holes, each planned to be 1,000 metres in length, are designed to test the N-S and E-W axies of the carbonatite between 300 metres and 800 metres below the hill top. The Phase 2 Drll Program has not yet commenced. Announcement • Jan 21

Lindian Resources Limited Announces Kangankunde Delivers More Outstanding Rare Earths Assays Lindian Resources Limited advised the receipt further assays from the Phase 1 drilling program at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The assays reported are for reverse circulation (RC) holes, KGKRC003, KGKRC004, KGKRC006 and KGKRC008. All holes have broad intersections of non-radioactive material with excellent grade and with a large percentage of critical Rare Earths metal elements of NdPr. Assay results have been received for a further four reverse circulation (RC) holes, KGKRC003, KGKRC004, KGKRC006 and KGKRC008 from the Phase 1 Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. These holes are in the same area as holes previously reported 1 holes KGKRC001 and KGKRC002. All holes were drilled from the hilltop of the central radial carbonatite pipe. Holes KGKRC003 and KGKRC008 are angle holes drilled from the carbonatite outward toward the interpreted contact of the carbonatite with the surrounding wall rock. Neither hole achieved the length to intersect the contact and finished in mineralised carbonatite. Both will be extended with core drilling. Holes KGKRC004 and KGKRC006 were drilled vertically down the vertical carbonatite pipe. Hole KGKRC004 was terminated at 97 metres depth due to broken ground. KGKRC006 was drilled to its planned depth of 300 metres with mineralisation grade generally increasing with depth. The final metre sampled (from 299 to 300 metres) assayed 2.55% TREO. The base of this hole is the deepest point drilled at Kangankunde to date and shows mineralisation in the carbonatite continues at depth. Below this depth, drilling will be tested during Phase 2 deep core drilling planned to follow the Phase 1 program. Drilling to date has not yet tested the margin of the mineralised carbonatite complex. Subsequently intercepts have been reported for the entire hole with multiple internal accumulations above 2% TREO also reported. Grade distribution is generally consistent and some zonation evident as highlighted by the greater than 2% TREO intercepts however no extreme variation evident. The mineralisation is dominated by light rare earths cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr). The total of Nd+Pr content in oxide form constitutes on average 20% of the TREO in all holes reported in this release with some minor local variation. Announcement • Jan 05
Lindian Resources Limited Announces Kangankunde Delivers Outstanding High Grade Rare Earths Assays Lindian Resources Limited announced the receipt of the first two batches of assays from the Phase 1 drilling program at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The assays reported are for the first two reverse circulation (RC) holes, KGKRC001 and KGKRC002. Both holes contain mineralisation with very high rare earths grades, broad intersections of non-radioactive material over the entire lengths of the holes, a large percentage of critical battery metal elements of NdPr. The holes ended in mineralisation which will be further extended with core drilling later in the program. Assay results have been received from the first two RC holes in the Phase 1 Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. Results for holes KGKRC001 and KGKRC002 demonstrate continuous rare earths mineralisation over their entire drill lengths. Both drill holes were collared in the central zone of the Kangankunde carbonatite complex and designed to drill toward the outer margin of the central carbonatite. Neither hole reached the outer margin of the central carbonatite. Figure 3 provides a plan view of the Kangankunde carbonatite geology. The holes were entirely drilled in carbonatite or carbonatite breccia with two main alteration types associated with mineralisation logged. The alteration comprises: Iron oxide and manganese oxide in moderately weathered to fresh carbonatite with individual Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) up to 11.8% TREO, the primary rare earth bearing mineral monazite, is frequently visible in the drill cuttings, and Potassic (fenite) alteration; associated with carbonatite ranging from 1% to 2% TREO. The mineralisation is dominated by light rare earths cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr). The total of Nd and Pr content in oxide form constitutes 21% of the TREO in KGKRC001 and KGRC0002. Radionuclides uranium (U) and thorium (Th) are low in grade in both drill holes. KGKRC001 averages 5.41ppm U and 53ppm Th over 110 metres and KGKRC002 averages 7.5 ppm U and 49 ppm Th over 250 metres. All drill samples are routinely scanned on site for radiation with results consistently in the 2- 3 counts per second (cps) range. These readings are very low and support the low radiation content of the rare earth bearing monazite mineralisation. A total of 26 RC holes for 4,061 drill metres and 2 core drill holes for 489 metres had been completed prior to the drilling break for the festive season. Drill crews and Lindian field staff will return to site on January 8th with drilling due to recommence on January 10th. The intention is to continue drilling with two RC and one core rig during the wet season for the duration of the program and manage rain delays as they occur. The Phase 1 program consists of 10,000 metres of RC drilling and 2,500 metres of core drilling on the Kangankunde hill top. The drill pattern is based on 50 metre east-west sections, and as radial fans perpendicular to the interpreted carbonatite boundary where topography provides access. The program is designed to give initial data for resource evaluation and mine planning. The Phase 1 Drill Program is only partialy complete with a total of 4,550 metres drilled of a planned 12,500 metres. Two additional deep drill holes are planned from drill pads near the base of the Kangankunde hill and are designed to allow drilling to continue during the wet season. These two drill holes, each planned to be 1,000 metres in length, are designed to test the N-S and E-W axies of the carbonatite between 300 metres and 800 metres below the hill top. The Phase 2 Drll Program has not yet commenced. Announcement • Jan 03

The objective of this program is to provide initial definition of the mineralised carbonatite and surrounding carbonatite breccia rocks within an area of 800m long and 800m wide. Monazite mineralisation hosting rare earth elements is clearly visible in the rocks that crop out in this area. Phase 1 drilling will be limited to the Kangankunde hill top using two RC rigs and one core rig to complete as many holes as possible until the wet season, typically from December to March, limits access. PHASE 2 DRILL PROGRAM: Two additional deep drill holes are planned from drill pads near the base of the Kangankunde hill and are designed to allow drilling to continue during the early stages of the wet season. These two drill holes, each 1,000 metres in length, are designed to test the N-S and E-W axies of the carbonatite between 300 metres and 800 metres below the hill top. Phase 2 will commence after Phase 1 is completed, and will be dependent on the wet season A cross section with the Phase 1 drilling plan from the hill top and (one of) the Phase 2 deep holes from the base of the hill on simplified interpreted geology. METALLURGICAL SAMPLING: During November, samples will be taken for metallurgical test work including mineralogy and recovery works. It is hoped that the outcomes of this work program will be available toward the end of the first quarter of next year. This will combine resource definition drilling with metallurgical recovery outcomes. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ASSAY: Samples from all works will undergo sample preparation at an internationally accredited laboratory in Africa with subsamples then shipped to Australia for assay. Testwork will be undertaken on-site to determine bulk density of the mineralisation and surrounding rock types which will be applicable to future resource modelling and mine planning. Assay turn around is anticipated to be 6 to 8 weeks to account for transport, customs clearances, sample preparation and assaying. GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION: The Resource Team has mapped the geology of the Kangankunde Complex over the last month. The team has identified three distinct target mineralised zones; Cabonatite/Carbonatite Breccia: This rock type contains abundant monazite minerlisation in a mixed Carbonatite and Carbonatite Breccia that consists dominantly of dolomite, and varying proportions of ankerite and apatite. This zone has a geometry fo 650 metres long and 450 metres wide. This zone is interpreted to be the most significantly mineralised portion of the system. Carbonatite Breccia: Peripheral to the Carbonatite/Carbonatite Breccia is a mixed breccia zone that consists of Carbonatite and altered (Fenite) host rock, contains monazite mineralisation, and varies in width from 50 metres to 300 metres. Within this peripheral mixed breccia are zones of Carbonatite/Carbonatite Breccia. This is interpreted to be a lower grade mineralised zone. Altered (Fenite) Zone Peripheral to the Carbonatite Breccia zone is a zone of altered (fenite or fenitised) host rock, that is likely to be unmineralised. Host Rock: The host rock, where mapped, is typically an interlayered amphibolite or gneiss rock with little or no alteration or mineralisation. Announcement • Oct 28

Lindian Resources Limited Provides Operational Update on Comprehensive 12,500 Metre Drilling Program at Kangankunde Lindian Resources Limited provided this operational update to shareholders with respect to a comprehensive 12,500 metre drilling program commencing next month. Mobilisation of Earthmoving Equipment: The Company has commenced the mobilisation to site of earth moving equipment for grading of roads, clearing of work areas, re-instatement of roads to the hilltop and preparation of drill pads. Drill Contract: The Company has signed a drilling contract for 10,000 metres of RC drilling and 2,500 metres of core drilling with Thompson Drilling who have extensive working experience in Malawi. The completion of the entire meterage will be dependent on the commencement of the wet season that will limit the safe access to some areas of the project. It is possible that drills may continue to operate from some locations during the wet season. This will be assessed on an ongoing risk minimal basis. Drilling from the top of the Kangankunde hill is initially limited to a relatively small area of 400m by 150m due to the topography. Geological Mapping: Geological mapping has determined the perimeter of the carbonatite intrusive contact with country rock. The estimated extent of the carbonatite is 650 metres long and 400 metres wide and consists of mixed carbonate breccia with visible monazite mineralisation. A zone of mixed carbonatite mineralisation and altered host rock mineralisation has been also identified and in places is up to 100 metre wide and envelopes the carbonatite core. Preliminary and Initial Grab Sample Assay: The company has received a preliminary mineralogical and assay assessment of mineralization sourced from a single isolated grab samples of mineralised rock from Kangankunde. Previous estimates by previous explores defined a resource containing 107,000 tonne REO from 2.5 million tonne grading 4.2%. This initial result indicates that the Kangankunde mineralisation is potentially low in radioactive elements. Further analysis for radionuclides will be conducted routinely on drilling and processing test work samples. If this is an indicative result of the mineralisation, then this could result in Kangankunde being classified as a general goods material for transportation purposes (as opposed to Class Seven for Radioactive materials) even when processed to a mineral concentrate. Using historic metallurgical test work, and an upgrade factor to a mineral concentrate, results in a predictive estimate of 790 ppm combined uranium and thorium assay in mineral concentrate and logically a general goods classification product. The Kangankunde deposit is located in Malawi about 90 kilometres north of the city of Blantyre and 15 kilometres from the regional town of Balaka. The project is located within 3 kilometres of the sealed M1 highway, 4 kilometres from the high voltage trans-Malawian power grid and 25 kilometres from the Shire River that is the only river to drain from the freshwater Lake Malawi. The project tenure comprises a granted Mining Licence MML0290/22 covering the entire known carbonatite and a surrounding Exploration Licence EL0514/18R. Announcement • Oct 01

Lindian Resources Limited Announces Digestion Test Results Lindian Resources Limited announced that it has received results of the Digestion test work on the screened ores from the Bouba Plateau within the Gaoual High Grade Conglomerate Bauxite Project in Guinea. A total of 28 tests were completed upon the coarse fraction bauxite ore samples, representing 4 samples from each of the 7 test pits sampled. Each sampled was digested at both low temperature and high temperature equivalents by Bureau Veritas Perth with Total Available Alumina and Reactive Silica reported. A summary of the results is as below: The Low Temperature Digestions of the high grade test pits bauxite averaged 88% TAA recovery (51.2% TAA) and 59% RSi recovery (1.6% RSi). The High Temperature Digestions of the HG test pits bauxite averaged 93% TAA recovery (54.4% TAA) and 92% RSi recovery (2.6% RSi). The lower of recoveries in TAA in the LT Digestions of the HG pits bauxite ore is caused by a minor component of Boehmite. This is determined by the HT digestions having a smaller range of TAA recoveries and are those TAA recoveries themselves being very high (>90% TAA). The increasing RSi recovery from LT to HT digestions for the HG test pits indicates that there is only a small presence of coarse unreactive quartz, and quartz that is present may be very fine grained and able to be digested at the HT digestions. The LG test pits indicated that all of the coarse fraction bauxite samples were able to be digested easily with LT TAA recoveries ranging from 85-87% recovery (averaging 86%), and the HT TAA recoveries ranging from 88-90% recovery (averaging 89%). The digestion test work completed upon the beneficiated ores has confirmed that these ores are gibbsite dominant and suited well to both LT and HT Bayer process alumina plants. With the much-reduced silica levels in the beneficiated ores, the RSi grades have now been decreased to levels in line with the quality bauxites being mined and exported from Guinea.

Lindian Resources Limited Announces Gaoual Screening Test Work Results Lindian Resources Limited advised that the company has completed the screening test work programme at the Gaoual High Grade Conglomerate Bauxite Project ("Gaoual Project") in Guinea, West Africa. A screening program of the Bouba Conglomerate Bauxite Plateau within the previously released Mineral Resource Estimate area of the Gaoual Project has been completed by Lindian Resources technical staff. The purpose of the test work programme was to determine the potential for upgrading of the conglomerate bauxite ores containing high-grade alumina and high silica, to higher grade alumina and low silica ores through the removal of the fines material. A total of 7 test pits within the Bouba Conglomerate Plateau were selected and 4 representative samples from each test pit were collected. All samples were dried, and then dry screened through a 1.5mm screen and recoveries of each fraction recorded, with one sample of four from each test pit undergoing a further procedure to determine if fines are retained in the coarse fraction by washing the coarse fraction post dry screening. All weights were recorded, and recoveries determined. All coarse and fines fraction samples were forwarded for analysis at Bureau Veritas. The test pits were 1-2m deep from surface and were located adjacent to resource drill holes. Five of the test pits were considered high grade with all head grades in excess of 45% Al2O3 and two (2) test pits were considered low grade with the head grade between 40% to 45% Al2O3. These subsets were analysed uniquely as the form of the conglomerate was consistent in the high-grade samples, but inconsistent in the low-grade samples with either potential induration of the conglomerate or very high fines percentages. The result of the screening test work for the high-grade samples is summarized: Dry screening at 1.5mm produced a coarse component of 87.2% of the total (12.8% fines component); The Al2O3 grade increased in the coarse component from 53.8% to 58.4% (an 8.6% increase in Al2O3); The SiO2 grade decreased in the coarse component from 9.8% to 2.8% (a 71.4% reduction in SiO2); The upgrade was extremely consistent in all samples from all test pits. The screening program completed has confirmed that through simple screening an increase in alumina and sympathetic fall in silica could be achieved with a small reduction in the mass volume. The collection and recording of all works completed was under the direct supervision of a qualified geologist. The individual samples for both coarse and fine were cone and quartered and forwarded to the Bureau Veritas laboratory facility in Mali for sample preparation. Standards and duplicates were added into the sample stream. Upon completion of the sample preparation the samples were forwarded to Bureau Veritas, Australia for XRF analysis. The high-grade coarse ore product will be further analysed by micro-digestion to determine if there have been any improvements or reductions in Total Available Alumina and Reactive Silica in both low and high temperature digests.

Lindian Resources Limited Updates Mineral Resource Estimate Lindian Resources Limited announced an updated Mineral Resource estimate ("MRE") which has been estimated by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. ("SRK") on behalf of Sarmin Bauxite Limited ("Sarmin") for the Lelouma Bauxite Project ("Lelouma or the "Project"), located in the Republic of Guinea. The Lelouma Project has an exceptional resource base and has been systematically explored with over USD 10 million of historic expenditure by the Project's previous owners. The plateaux hosting the Lelouma bauxite mineralisation are located around 100km northeast of Sangarédi, site of the CBG railway line loading area. The rail line is in turn around 100 km northeast of the port in Kamsar, which exports 25Mt/year of bauxite. Lelouma is located just 40km from Lindian's high grade Gaoual conglomerate bauxite project, with both projects within haul distance of existing rail infrastructure presenting the opportunity to fast-track development with moderate capital investment and deliver some of the highest grade ore into the global bauxite market. The Gaoual Project is one of the few conglomerate bauxite projects globally and has exceptionally high alumina grades. Test-work indicates that most of the silica present is as fine-grained quartz suggesting that the silica content can be greatly reduced by employing a simple screening methodology. The effect of this process would be to reduce the silica content, effectively raising the alumina content of the product with minimal loss of tonnage. The Company is currently examining a product blending strategy that aims to combine the world class nature of both the Gaoual and Lelouma projects, with the aim of identifying the optimal range of bauxite sales products for supply to both low temperature and high temperature alumina refineries. Initial desktop work indicates that in addition to producing standalone products from each asset, there may be merit in combining Gaoual's exceptionally high grade alumina product with the exceptionally low silica product from Lelouma, creating a further bauxite product with an alumina:silica (Al:Si) ratio of close to 10. This quality would be towards the top end of the current imported bauxite sales into Chinese refineries, with domestic Chinese ores currently mined at Al:Si ratio of just 4 to 6. The analysis will also consider the most capital and operating cost efficient infrastructure development being cognisant of the Gaoual's proximity to existing infrastructure. In 2020, a new drilling campaign was conducted at the Lelouma Project consisting of 365 auger drillholes over 3,922m and 10 core drillholes for 111 m. This drilling was completed on a 150 x 150 m grid spacing infilling the BRGM drilling which was completed on 300 x 300 m spacing, with minor areas drilled at 600 x 600 m. The inclusion of this new drilling data in to the existing database has enabled the reporting of a new, larger resource of 900 Mt at 45.0% Al2O3 and 2.1% SiO2. This additional exploration work has also enabled the definition of 155 Mt at 47.9% Al2O3 and 1.8% SiO2 within the Measured Mineral Resource category confirming the Project's potential to produce high-grade ore in the operational phase, delivering some of the highest quality ore into Atlantic and Pacific refinery markets. This is confirmed by the increase in the high grade portion of total Mineral Resource with 398Mt at 48.1% Al2O3 with continuous zones of exceptional quality material (>50% Al2O3).
