Accelerate Resources Limited Announces Positive Developments At Its 100% Owned Comet Gold Project in the Prolific Murchison Goldfield of Western Australia Accelerate Resources Limited advised of positive developments at its 100% owned Comet Gold Project in the prolific Murchison Goldfield (>20Moz Au endowment) of Western Australia. Project Boost; The company has received notification from the Department of Energy, Mines Industry Regulation and Safety that exploration licence E20/1000 has been granted for an initial term of 5 years. This licence is located just 700m from the Westgold Resources 1.2Mtpa Tuckabianna gold mill and, this hosts several shear zones and banded iron formation ("BIF") targets adjacent to the highly endowed Cundimarra East Shear Zone, host to over 1.2 million ounces of previous gold Production. Following recent high-grade gold discoveries of Caprice Resources and former ASX-listed Musgrave Minerals nearby, Accelerate completed detailed reassessment of the tenement including field reconnaissance. This work has identified three new gold targets within interpreted trends of the nearby discoveries. New Gold Targets; Following a detailed review initiated on 24 February 2024 Accelerate has identified three new high-priority exploration targets at Comet. The review included assessment of historic drill holes and reinterpretation of geophysical data, which led to the identification of an untested and highly prospective BIF zone yet to be effectively drill tested. This discovery highlights the Project's potential for hosting new gold discoveries similar to that of nearby exploration success and operations. Target C1 at Comet East is defined by an intensely folded BIF unit located 400m east of Accelerate's 2020 RC drill program that included 9m at 3.89 g/t Au from 34m (20CORC002), 6m at 1.11 g/t Au from 30m (20CORC003), 6m at 2.29 g/t Au from 44m (20CORC019) and 6m at 1.45 g/t Au from 50m (20COR024)1. Last drilled in the mid 1990's2 with shallow RAB holes averaging 34m depth, the Company identifies exciting potential at depth and within interpreted fold-hinge and deformation zones which can concentrate gold bearing fluids in quartz-carbonate veins and sulphide replacement zones. Target C1 is drill ready subject to heritage clearances. Target C2 & C3 occur where shallow RAB drilling from 1990-2000 defines a North-east trending gold bearing structure parallel to the highly endowed Tuckabianna Shear Zone. Traversing the C2 and C3 Targets is an area of shears as opposed to BIF mineralisation, with ~500m of strike in C2 and 700m of strike in C3. Electrical geophysical surveys will be required to focus drill targets along the structure. Duyuru • Jan 31

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 72% 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. 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$3.5m free cash flow).

Accelerate Resources Limited Identifies Multiple Corridors of Manganese Mineralization Accelerate Resources Limited announced a project-wide evaluation has identified multiple corridors of manganese mineralisation within the central part of the Project that demonstrate the potential for structurally controlled large tonnage mineralisation at its Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project in Western Australia. Based on an evaluation of the distribution of manganese outcrops, structural domains interpreted from high resolution imagery, regional and historic geophysical data (magnetic, gravity and dipole- dipole induced polarisation (DDIP) datasets), and a recent project-wide heli-bourne mapping program, Accelerate has identified corridors of manganese mineralisation linked to major reverse faults and the linking structures formed between them. This form of mineralisation is characteristic of the Woodie Woodie Mine Corridor. Five significant manganese corridors are shown in the shaded grey areas in Figure 2. Gum Creek and Parsons Creek corridors are the largest and are under explored. These corridors represent persistently mineralised trends that are analogous to the mineralisation at the Area 42 discovery and are extensions of the world class Woodie Woodie Mine Corridor to the south. What is most exciting is the scale and the underexplored nature of these mapped mineralised zones within the highly prospective geological setting. Planning for maiden drilling of these high priority targets is underway. Consolidated Minerals' Woodie Woodie mine is a world-class high-grade manganese producer, well-known for its premium high-grade low-impurity Manganese product for the last 50 years. In 2007, it was sold to Ukrainian owned Palmary Group company for $A1.3 billion. Current owner since 2017 is the Chinese owned TMI Group. The Woodie Woodie Mine Corridor, as per Figure 4 below, is a cluster of high-grade fault-hosted manganese deposits, over an area of approximately 3.5 km wide and extending for some 15 km along strike from Radio Hill in the north to Lox mine in the south. The manganese deposits are predominantly hydrothermal in origin with a late supergene overprint. The orebodies range in size from 0.2 Mt to 5.5 Mt with an average of 0.5 Mt. Historically, more than 56 deposits and over 35 Mt of high-grade manganese have been mined within the Woodie Woodie Mine Corridor (Jones et al, Ore Geology Reviews 50, 2013). Large- sized deposits, such as Bells, Chris D and Greensnake with resources in the order of 5 Mt are intimately related to NNW fault lines and the intense hydrothermal alteration of the host dolomite. Below is a table comparing the Company's Woodie Woodie North Manganese project which is 70km north of the Woodie Woodie mine along the same system of NNW trending structures. The 2023 drilling campaign will target both high-grade structurally controlled mineralization and the supergene enriched surface caps for Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) style mineralization.

Accelerate Resources Limited Reports Encouraging New Results from Its Phase 2 Drilling Campaign At the Woodie Woodie North Manganese Project in Western Australia's Pilbara Accelerate Resources Limited reported encouraging new results from its Phase 2 drilling campaign at the Woodie Woodie North Manganese project in Western Australia's Pilbara. Assay results confirm the presence of large and well developed hydrothermal zones at Area 42, with the potential for substantial manganese resources to be delineated. In Phase 2, AX8 completed 46 holes (2,400 m) to follow up near surface manganese outcrop and historical drill intersections and to define extensions of known manganese mineralisation along strike and at depth. Thirty holes returned good intercepts greater than 3 m above 8.5% Mn. Two large surface slabs of outcropping manganese were shown to be connected and exhibit internal continuity. A substantial mineralised cap measuring 2 m to 7 m in thickness over an area of 120m by 25 m to 35 m in width was discovered to be mineralised. In addition, a triangular zone of deeper mineralisation centred on WNRC059 (which totalled 20 m at 23% Mn) remains open to the NE and represents an excellent target. Significant intervals included: WNRC047 7 m @ 26.4% Mn & 5.7% Fe from surface incl. 4 m @ 28.9% Mn & 6% Fe from surface; WNRC054 5 m @ 33.7 Mn & 13.4% Fe from surface; WNRC059 12 m @ 18.3% Mn & 9.5% Fe from surface and 8 m @ 30.8% Mn, 2.7% Fe from 13 m. The surface outcrops at Nathan's Flat extend over 65 m x 20 m to 25 m along a NNW axis and 75 m x 20 m to 35 m on a NE axis joined as a rough T-shape. This shows the manganese cap remains untested along its NE edge and may extend under thin alluvial cover to the SW past WNRC065 where 11 m @ 21.5% Mn was intersected. Ten of the 15 holes drilled at Nathan's Flat recorded manganese over a minimum interval of 3 m. The first drill hole, WNRC060, recorded Mn mineralisation from 3 m to 71 m in six intervals ranging in thickness from 3 m to 13 m (totalling 44 m). Maximum values of 35.5% and 33.5% Mn were recorded at 3 m and 19 m depths respectively. The individual intervals are listed below. WNRC060 overall 44 m @16.3 % Mn & 13.2% Fe (weighted averages): 4 m @ 23.4% Mn & 6.5% Fe from 3 m, incl. 1 m @ 35.5% Mn & 1.3 % Fe from 3m; 13 m @ 17.3% Mn & 14.1% Fe from 14 m; 10 m @ 12.1% Mn & 4.7% Fe from 32 m; 9 m @ 14.2% & 8.7% Fe from 43 m; 3 m @ 21,5% Mn & 7.6% Fe from 57 m; 5 m @ 17.3% Mn & 36.1% Fe from 66 m. Adjacent holes, WNRC063 and 74 returned the following results: WNRC063 9 m @ 22% Mn & 8.7% Fe from 4 m, incl. 2m @ 34% Mn & 5.8% Fe from 9 m. WNRC074 - 6 m @ 28.4% Mn & 9.9% Fe from 3 m, incl. 3 m @ 37.4% Mn & 9.1% Fe from 5 m (with maximum 42.9% Mn). WNRC065 11 m @ 21.5% Mn & 12.7% Fe from surface, incl 3m @ 38.5% Mn & 9.1% Fe from surface (with maximum 40.9% Mn). The long section below depicts the development of the near surface cap and the continuity of mineralisation from hole to hole. Deeper manganese mineralisation was intersected in several holes (five in total), indicating that low to moderate grade mineralisation exists to significant depths beneath the surface cap (down to a maximum of 71 m). There is insufficient deep drilling at this stage to establish lateral continuity or orientation, but there appear to be two irregular slabs of manganese mineralisation centred on holes WNRC060 and WNRC067 respectively. Six holes were initially drilled over a series of layered manganese outcrops. The holes were drilled to confirm the historic drilling results (e.g. BX76 6 m @ 39.9% Mn from the surface) and to test for the presence of deeper mineralisation. Deeper, lower-grade intersections were located in holes WNRC034 and 37. The results indicate that the manganese outcrops downslope and to the west of WNRC037 and penetrate back into the slope as far as WNRC034, indicating the potential for a significant mineralisation. Significant intervals included: WNRC034 - 4 m @ 12.3% Mn & 2.5% Fe from 20 m; WNRC036 6 m @ 16.4% Mn & 17.3% Fe from 27 m; WNRC037 4 m @ 12.9% & 23.5% Fe from 3 m; WNRC038 7 m @ 31.4% Mn & 1 9% Fe from surface with a maximum assay of 42.2% Mn from 1 m. Dirk's Valley: Four holes were drilled at Dirk's Valley, with all intersecting modest-grade manganese with low iron. The best results were achieved in the neighbouring holes, WNRC077 (12 m at 12.7% Mn & 3.8% Fe from 15 m) and WNRC076 (8 m at 18.3% Mn & 2.2% Fe from 14 m). Because WNRC077 was directed to the SW and WNRC077 to the W, this represents a triangular shaped slab of low-grade mineralisation worthy of additional drilling. It is noteworthy that sub 5% iron content enhances the target's potential. Significant intervals included: WNRC077 12 m @ 12.7% Mn & 3.8% Fe from 15 m; WNRC076 8 m @ 18.3% Mn & 2.2% Fe from 14 m; WNRC076 5 m @ 15.4% Mn & 1.6% Fe from 31 m; WNRC075 3 m @ 14% Mn & 3.1% Fe from 36 m. Accelerate's Critical Minerals Strategy: The Company has engaged Perth based engineering firm Simulus Laboratories to conduct a preliminary test work program to produce HPMSM. High Purity Manganese, also known as battery grade manganese, is purchased in either metal or sulphate form by cathode and battery manufacturers. High Purity Manganese is used in lithium-ion battery cathodes, specialty steels, aluminium and chemicals. The work has been carried out since late 2022, with material collected from surface mineralisation within Area 42. The purpose of the test work is to develop a refining process to produce high purity manganese sulphate crystals (MnSO4) from a Braeside West concentrate. Simulus has extensive experience in manganese projects and within the wider minerals industry and is ideally placed to complete this scope of work. The Company is expected to receive results of the preliminary test work by end of February 2023. Future Work: Planning is underway for the Phase 3 drilling program. Follow up drilling of the presently defined targets at Dale's Patch and Nathan's Flat will be completed, and the extents and continuity of the mineralisation confirmed. Detailed drilling will be undertaken at Chris's Ridge and Drape's Hill to continue defining the surface cap mineralisation and to identify deeper mineralised zones. Additional scout drilling along the Dirk's Valley line towards the discovery at Drews Find (WNRC017) is planned. Work programs for new targets identified will be developed in the coming weeks.
