Lunnon Metals Limited Provides High Grade Gold Results in Latest Step Out Drilling Lunnon Metals Limited reported assay results from the latest reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its Kambalda Gold & Nickel Project (KGNP). The Company's expanded gold exploration program in the Foster Gold Belt is progressing successfully, with multiple prospects being actively tested through recent scout RC drilling campaigns. As previously reported, the objective is to rapidly identify multiple near-surface opportunities and prioritise those demonstrating the same promising characteristics observed at the successful Lady Herial discovery. Four RC holes tested the Koombana target and all four returned significant gold intercepts at shallow depths. The Foster-Baker Project area is situated on granted mining leases, benefitting from extensive nearby infrastructure that provides an ideal setting for rapidly advancing any new discoveries. The Company's strategy is to aggressively pursue these emerging gold prospects and, subject to continued exploration success, advance each of them through the same accelerated program of resource definition and permitting currently being implemented at Lady Herial. As seen elsewhere in the Foster Gold Belt, the results indicated the presence of multiple mineralised surfaces reflecting the structural pattern recorded at Lady Herial and the Hustler gold prospect. Significant gold mineralisation has been
confirmed along the Foster Gold Belt at Lady Herial, Hustler, Guiding Star, and now, the Koombana prospect. The area tested extends over a strike length of at least 1.8 km in a northwest-southeast direction, following the Defiance Dolerite stratigraphic unit. These encouraging results highlight the potential for further discoveries within the Foster Gold Belt, reinforcing the Company's strategy to accelerate exploration and unlock shareholder value.
In addition, in a northeasterly direction, and approximately 500m from Lady Herial, the Company recently intersected significant gold proximal to the iron-rich Lunnon Sediment. This is the same rock unit that hosted the "Father's Day Vein" discovery4 at Westgold Resources Ltd.'s Beta/Hunt mine in 2018 (15km to the north of Foster). The current Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) program5 at Defiance West is in this exploration target area, immediately adjacent to the Foster Gold Belt. The area also plays host to highly prospective targets where multiple gold bearing structures have the potential to interact with the iron-rich Lunnon Sediment on the Company's own tenements.
Current activity at Lady Herial includes targeted programs of holes at a grade control spacing of approximately 8m x 6m (or similar). This work is seeking to test for the presence of other high-grade zones that the 2024 drill
program spacing did not fully identify. Seven dedicated diamond drill (DD) holes have now been completed at Lady Herial to derive geotechnical parameters for open pit optimisation studies and to provide material for detailed metallurgical test work based on the Gold Fields' Lefroy Plant flow sheet. Each of Koombana, Guiding Star and Hustler are exhibiting strong potential to be Lady Herial lookalikes and the Company will evaluate and plan follow up programs at all three prospects to ensure that ongoing exploration activity is correctly prioritised. Technical analysis and permitting of Lady Herial is ongoing and the final heritage survey for the potential mining of the Lady Herial development footprint has now been completed by Company staff in collaboration with representatives of the Ngadju People. A Mineral Resource estimation exercise will be completed to finalise mining outlines and allow the submission of the relevant applications to the Western Australian Government, Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. The Company has recently announced a strategic agreement to work collaboratively with its major shareholder, Gold Fields Ltd, in regard commercial arrangements for the treatment of the Lady Herial deposit at that company's St Ives Lefroy Plant. The Kambalda /St Ives gold camp is one of Australia's most prolific gold production and discovery centres. Gold has been produced in the area since the discovery of the Red Hill gold mine in 1896 (adjacent to the Company's historical Silver Lake nickel mine at Kambalda). The area immediately encompassing and surrounding the Foster-Baker project (FBA) produced gold from the 1920s onwards, but this goldfield came to prominence in the early 1980s when WMC commenced dedicated gold production from the Victory-Defiance Complex and the Hunt nickel mine near Kambalda. The St Ives Gold Mine was sold by WMC to Gold Fields Ltd. (Gold Fields) in December 2001 after 5.6Moz8a of gold had been produced. With an expanded exploration budget requisite with being one of the world's major gold companies, Gold Fields has gone on to mine over 10Moz8b of gold itself and has found what is shaping to be the most significant discovery in the camp's history, the Invincible deposit, suggesting that the biggest deposits are not always found first in the discovery cycle. The Company holds all mineral rights over the FBA, except gold in specific "Excluded Areas" . The Company highlights that all gold prospects being tested and evaluated are 100% owned by Lunnon Metals. The FBA project is located on granted mining tenements with significant existing infrastructure in place. Nearby gold plants include the Lefroy, Lakewood and Higginsville plants, with the Lefroy plant, a few kilometres to the north, notably owned and operated by the Company's major shareholder, Gold Fields. The gold prospects of the Foster Gold Belt are hosted in the Defiance Dolerite, a known favourable host for gold in the immediate vicinity of FBA at the Victory-Defiance gold complex a few kilometres to the north. High-grade quartz veins were mined by prospectors in the 1920s in what was then called the Cooee/St Ives field with gold ore won from these workings treated at either the nearby historical State Battery or the privately owned Ives Reward battery, the relic sites of which are both located on what are now Lunnon Metals'
leases. New Risk • Jan 09
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.7% 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 (AU$1.6k revenue, or US$961). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.7% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$46.8m market cap, or US$29.0m). Announcement • Nov 27

Forecast to breakeven in 2027 The analyst covering Lunnon Metals expects the company to break even for the first time. New forecast suggests losses will reduce by 27% per year to 2026. The company is expected to make a profit of AU$11.0m in 2027. Average annual earnings growth of 69% is required to achieve expected profit on schedule. New Risk • Sep 23
New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$24m Forecast net loss in 2 years: AU$1.0m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$1.6k revenue, or US$1.1k). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (AU$1.0m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.1% increase in shares outstanding).

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 Earnings have declined by 64% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 64% 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 Earnings have declined by 64% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (12% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$151.1m (US$96.1m) This is considered a minor 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$14m free cash flow). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$7.5k revenue, or US$4.8k). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (11% increase in shares outstanding).
