Bluebird Mining Ventures Ltd. Provides Update on Gold Project in the Philippines Bluebird Mining Ventures Ltd. announced that the agreement over its gold project in the Philippines is substantially now in final form being only subject to final reviews before execution. The Company expects the agreement to conclude imminently. The key terms, subject to execution, are as follows: Bluebird will receive a 10% profit share from the Philippine gold project in perpetuity over the life of the mine with the implementation of a transparent dividend policy to ensure cash receipts. Furthermore, Bluebird will receive additional bonus royalty payments of USD 250,000 at every gold sales milestone of 5,000 oz subject to the average gold price over the period being over $3,000/oz. The Philippine project has a JORC compliant resource estimate of 440,000 oz of gold over the total area of the licenses. Bluebird will incur no further expenditure but will retain certain rights of inspection of production plans and records. As announced on the 5 June 2025, the Company intends to convert cash receipts that it will receive in the future from streaming revenues into bitcoin. This is in line with the Company's strategy (that we believe is a first in the UK) to convert physical gold to "digital gold" i.e. bitcoin. The Company further confirms that it has received the proceeds from the Direct Subscription that was announced on 16 June 2025 and will make a further announcement in due course regarding the issuance of the shares and Admission to trading.

The Company expects to make further announcements in due course related to the complementary "digital gold" strategy that was announced last week. This first transaction in the Philippines, when concluded, will be the template for the gold "streaming" avenue that the Company is now to pursue married with the Bitcoin in Treasury strategy. New Risk • Jul 31
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €9.10m (US$9.85m) 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (725% average daily change). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (€9.10m market cap, or US$9.85m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.4% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • Jul 11

Bluebird Merchant Ventures Limited Provides South Korea Update Regarding Plans to Bring Two South Korean Gold Mines Back into Production Bluebird Merchant Ventures Limited announced an update on South Korea with regards to advancing the Gubong Gold Mine ('Gubong') and the Kochang Gold and Silver Mine ('Kochang'). The company and its new local JV partner, which is investing USD 5 million into Gubong. The two parties discussed the optimal path to advancing the project, the relevant community programmes that need to be initiated and discussed land area for mine access as well as meeting with the relevant local landowner. With regards to Kochang, discussions regarding a potential JV with the same consortium that invested in Gubong are at an advanced stage, and the team is confident of a positive conclusion in the near future with legal drafting underway. Kochang is recognised as the easier of Bluebird's two projects in South Korea to bring into production. It is an 8.3 sq km epithermal high grade vein deposit with a c.2.5km strike of which 600m between the two mines has not been exploited. It produced c.110,000 oz Au (19.6g/t) and 5.9Moz Ag (1,000g/t) from 1961-1975 and has a Non JORC estimate 550-700Kt, grading between 5.2-6.6 g/t Au and 27.3-34.8 g/t Ag. The team has an estimated production target of c.10-15koz pa and believes there is significant potential to expand operations laterally and at depth as well as exploit already mined areas.

Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd Announces High Grade Lobo Gold Prospect to Be Drilled in the Philippines Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd. announced a fully funded 5,666m drill programme at the Lobo prospect of the Batangas Gold Project in the Philippines. The 34-hole three phase programme is aimed at further delineating the Project's identified high-grade targets, upgrading the current mining inventory, and providing data to develop an underground mine plan. Lobo is a high-grade gold mining opportunity within the Batangas project area being developed in tandem with a local highly experienced JV partner in the Philippines. The three-phase drill programme will be initially focused on the South West Breccia target, which has not been tested at depth or along known extensions; this is just one of nine targets in the system, which has a current 15km strike. SWB has only been drilled to 80-100m but produced the majority of the initial Probable JORC Compliant Ore Reserves of 171,000 tons at 6.6 g/t for 36,000 oz Au excluding silver credits that can be mined in the first 18 months of any operation - Indicated Resource of 82,000 oz Au. Results at SWB extensions included: 6.7m at 11.6 g/t Au from 9.3m. o 18m at 6.85 g/t Au from 31 m down hole. 6m at 7.16 g/t Au from 43 m including 3m at 11.5 g/t Au. SWB is likely to be the first area to be mined by the JV - drill data will be used for a mine plan and included in the Definitive Feasibility Study ('DFS'). Lobo licence area is highly prospective with results across the nine identified targets including: 2.1m @14.4g/t Au and 3m at 12.1g/t at West Drift, which already has an Indicated and Inferred resource of 350,000t at 3 g/t Au. 8.35m at 18.3 g/t Au and 6.0m at 31.2 g/t Au located immediately west of the SWB Extension. 19m surface channel sample with intersections of 19m grading 9.8 g/t Au at Ulupong. Limestone Target trenching yielded 3.5m at 25.9 g/t Au including 1.5m at 56.8 g/t Au. To put this into context, it is open at depth and there are nine other identified high-grade gold zones. "The fully funded three-phase drill programme will test the most prospective and upper parts (below the current identified resource) first and then, if the results are as expected, progressively test deeper extensions and less well-known areas downdip of SWB. There is evidence that mineralisation grade may increase at depth and the aim is to dramatically expand the resource inventory and develop a mine plan for the submission of a DFS and final permitting. Details Three-Phase Drill Programme at Lobo The Lobo licence area covers 1,164-hectare. The main target is the SWB deposit where 38 holes identified five sub-parallel vein systems developed on northeast trending structures, spaced 500-1,000m apart and covering an area of approximately 3km by 1.5km. For example, diamond drilling and trenching previously tested the northern extent and at depth below the previous SWB resource. Eight drill holes for 530m were completed and results included 6.7m at11.3m and 18m at 6. 85 g/t Au from 31m, and down hole 6m at 7.16g/t Au from 43m including 3m at 11. 5 g/t Au. 15 diamond drill holes at West Drift totaling 3,111m identified generally increasing gold grades with depth. With the appointment of drilling contractors being finalised, the planned drilling campaign is expected to be completed. Announcement • Jul 12
Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd Provides an Update on the Gubong Gold Mine and Kochang Gold and Silver Mine in South Korea Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd. provided an update on the Gubong Gold Mine ("Gubong") and Kochang Gold and Silver Mine ("Kochang") in South Korea. As shareholders will be aware, the issuance of the Mountain Temporary Use Permits ("MTUPs"), small parcels of land needed to allow commencement of surface work at the two historic mines to stockpile ore, store equipment and machinery and for general logistic, are the last part of the legal requirements needed to commence bringing the historic high grade Gubong and Kochang mines back into production. The grant of these has taken far longer than anticipated, particularly in light of the fact that both projects have already received extraction licences. However, the Board, in tandem with its lawyers and planning consultants, remain positive that these will be granted, and the Company will be able to bring both Gubong and Kochang back into production. The potential value of the two projects is clear, as highlighted in the Scoping Study. This was conducted on a USD 1,750 per oz gold price, and reported a post-tax NPV of USD 181 million, free cash of USD 50 million per annum, an IRR of 111% and a USD 630 per oz All in Sustaining Cost. The Board remains totally committed to achieving the grant of the respective licences. Kochang: The issuance of the MTUP at Kochang has been referred to the Board of Audit and Inspection, Korea ('BAI Korea'). The BAI, which is a constitutional agency established under the President, but retains an independent status in terms of its duties and functions, inspects the work performed by local government to ensure that they followed the correct processes and law. Their adjudication is mandated to take 60 days but this is not guaranteed. Since the Kochang licence has already been awarded an extraction licence by the Ministry of Mines, has the support from the local landowners and community and the submission covered all the legal requirements, the Company remains in a strong position. The Company's lawyers and permitting consultants have again emphasized that all legal and regulatory requirements had been covered in Bluebird's initial c.800-page submission and that the additional actions requested re community engagement have been successfully completed, and the requested measures to reduce the risk of environmental impact of the development of Kochang, submitted. The Company believes that the issue of the MTUP has become regionally political and therefore welcomes the audit procedure. Gubong: On receiving the further questions from the local government at Kochang, the Board decided that the best course of action re the advancement of Gubong, was to pause the submission and identify a local partner to jointly develop the larger of its two projects. This has been successful in regard to the Company's high grade Batangas gold project in the Philippines, where its local joint venture partner has been instrumental in securing the recently announcedCertificate of Approval from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for its Two-Year Community Development Plan. The Company announced that it is in advanced negotiations with a local Korean entity to form a Joint Venture to advance Gubong. As part of the JV, where each party will be net contributors to the project, Bluebird's team will supply technical know-how and the Korean partner, permitting and in-country expertise. Gubong was historically the second largest gold mine in South Korea estimated 2.34M tonnes at some 7.3g/t Au garnered from 57 drill holes over 17,715.3 metres. The Board believe it has a geological potential of 1 million + oz Au in-situ, plus an estimated additional 300,000 oz Au from satellite ore bodies. The initial production opportunity is the 25 levels already developed with all the remnants and unmined areas left by the original miners. The 25 levels extend over 120km in total length which indicates the size of the opportunity. Announcement • Jun 15
Bluebird Merchant Ventures Limited Receives Approval to Advance Batangas Gold Project Bluebird Merchant Ventures Limited announce that it has received the Certificate of Approval from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for its Two-Year Community Development Plan at its Batangas Gold Project ('Batangas' or 'the Project') in the Philippines. This represents a significant step forward and underlines the importance of the Company's local development partner in navigating the regulatory environment to allow the key project area at Batangas, the Lobo underground mine, to be advanced to a production decision. Importantly the Company already has two 25 year Mineral Production Sharing Agreements ("MPSA") covering the Lobo Project area. Overview: Community Plan Approval allows for groundwork including supplementary drilling to commence at the highly prospective Lobo project area; Demonstrates that the JV is proving successful, and the Project development plan adheres to the relevant protocols required by the new Philippine Government for mining development; Lobo has a JORC Compliant Ore Reserves of 171,000 tons at 6.6 g/t for 36,000 oz Au, an 82,000 oz Au inferred resource plus multiple epithermal and high-grade targets identified over 14km of identified mineralised structures; Grades include high-grade surface trench intersections of 8.35m @ 18.4 g/t Au, 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au and 3m @ 22.2 g/t Au; The JV will now implement plans to commence a new drilling campaign to increase the resource and develop potential underground mine planand work with its environmental consultancy for the application of the Environmental Compliance Certificate; JV structure provides Bluebird with a free carry to production decision in return for 60% of the project equity. The highly prospective Batangas Gold Exploration Project in the Philippines is being advanced within a joint venture with a Philippine company, which has decades of experience in mining (see RNS dated 7 February 2023). The JV covers the entire Batangas Project area, which has a current JORC compliant resource of 440,000 ounces, including a maiden ore reserve of 128,000 ounces (including silver credits). The current focus of the JV and the two-year Community Development Plan is the Lobo underground mining operation. The Project has an initial Probable JORC Compliant Ore Reserves of 171,000 tons at 6.6 g/t for 36,000 ounces of gold excluding silver credits based primarily on the South West Breccia ('SWB') area of the licence that can be mined in the first 18 months of any operation. There is an Indicated resource of 82,000 oz au that is perceived as easily convertible. Additionally, the Lobo licence area has multiple epithermal and high-grade targets already identified for resource expansion with 14km of identified mineralised structures with grades including high-grade surface trench intersections yielded 8.35m @ 18.4 g/t Au, 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au and 3m @ 22.2 g/t Au. The Lobo underground mining operation is similar to Medusa Mining's Philippine project. Accordingly, a drill programme is being planned at Lobo and discussions are underway with drilling contractors. Furthermore, the Company's environmental consultancy is undertaking groundwork for the application of the Environmental Compliance Certificate, which is a key step towards obtaining a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement ('MPSA') with the Philippine National Government. The granting of the Community Plan Approval is a significant step in the development plans for Batangas. The Administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is focussing on improving mining standards in country. The Company's local JV partner understand the regulatory framework and is working closely with Bluebird to ensure that all Environmental, Social and Governance standards are adhered to, and the Project is developed for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Bluebird Merchant Ventures Limited Announces Batangas Gold Project and South Korea Update Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd. announced that it has opened discussions with potential partners to develop its high-grade Batangas Gold project in the Philippines. This follows positive feedback following the submission to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for a two-year extension to the exploration period to its current licence. The Company has a 25-year Mineral Production Sharing Agreement ('MPSA') for the Lobo area of Batangas, where the current period of exploration needs to be extended. This involved the submission of an Exploration Work Programme and Environmental Work Programme to focus on the potential for underground mining at Lobo. With this granted, the Company will have a clear path to a production decision. The Company believes that Lobo remains highly prospective and there is significant potential for underground mining operations. The mineral resources are associated with a linear, steeply dipping, epithermal lode with high grade 'shoots' of mineralisation. The previous partner published an initial Probable JORC Compliant Ore Reserves of 171,000 tons at 6.6 g/t for 36,000 ounces of gold excluding silver credits based primarily on the South West Breccia area of the licences, which can be mined in the first 18 months of any operation. However, the 1,160 hectare licence area has multiple epithermal and high grade targets already identified for resource expansion. These include the SWB extension, where testing of the footwall lode produced results including 2.1m @14.4g/t Au and 3m @12.1g/t, West Drift, which already has an Indicated and Inferred resource of 350,000t @ 3 g/t Au, as well as the Signal, Camo, Pica and Ulupong areas. The Board is also progressing operations in its primary activities of bringing the historic Kochang Gold and Silver Mine and Gubong Gold Mine back into production. The mines have acumulative estimated target recoverable resources of c.1.5 million oz Au, garnered from data from the historical operators, parastatal Korea Resources Corporation ('KORES') and work conducted by the Bluebird team. The team is in South Korea this week to finalise the plan to fulfil the qualifying spend of USD 160,000 in accordance with the 20-year mining licence terms; this will be satisfied primarily by purchasing equipment needed to continue underground development and exploration of the two mines. The Company believes that there is huge opportunity to develop low-cost low capex high grade mining operations due to the existing development work and understanding of the geology in what is a supportive and strong infrastructural environment.

A process of infill channel samples was undertaken at Kochang to test the validity of the samples taken at five metre intervals and to determine the short-range variability of samples. Samples were taken at one metre intervals on all three veins. These samples showed good correlation with the original five metre interval sampling. This confirms that five metre sampling is appropriate for the ore body thus saving time and costs. In addition, eight drain samples were taken along the length of the main adit to determine the grade of remanent gold in the drain system. Six of the samples contained gold ranging from 0.63 to 2.25 grams per tonne in fine ore. This confirms management's experience that fine ore from previous mining operations accumulates on the adit floor and can be quickly collected and stockpiled for future processing. The Company will update the market in due course following a review of additional data at Kochang. Board Change • Apr 27
