Forgent plc Reports Strong Gold Assay Results and Identifies New Exploration Corridor At Peak Hill Forgent plc announced encouraging gold assay results from its maiden drilling programme at the Peak Hill Gold-Copper Project in Western Australia, which has validated the Company's exploration model, confirmed multiple shallow gold systems and identified a significant new exploration corridor that has the potential to materially increase the scale of the project. Phase 2 drilling will commence in August 2026 to test this new target. Confirmed gold across multiple priority targets, with selected significant intercepts including: PKA040 - 2m @ 3.68g/t Au from 50m; PKA010 - 1m @ 3.11g/t Au from 44m; PKA030 - 1m @ 2.51g/t Au from 26m; PKA041 - 3m @ 0.60g/t Au from 24m; PKA036 - 3m @ 0.54g/t Au from 96m; PKA024 - 1m @ 0.52g/t Au from 29m; PKA019 - 3m @ 0.51g/t Au from 54m. Validated the Company's geological model. Materially de-risked the Peak Hill project. Identified a significant new undrilled exploration corridor which exhibits favourable structure, magnetic complexity and lithological controls. Accelerated phase 2 drilling programme scheduled to commence August 2026. Peak Hill was acquired as an advanced exploration project with an extensive historical exploration database that had not previously been comprehensively reprocessed or retargeted using modern geological modelling and targeting techniques. Following a detailed review of the historical data, Forgent identified seven priority exploration target areas across the Karalundi, Junction and Curley's prospects. At Junction alone, four priority targets were identified where widely spaced historical drilling had outlined broad zones of near-surface orogenic gold mineralisation over strike lengths of up to approximately 800 metres. The Phase 1 drilling programme was designed to: Validate historical drilling results. Extend known mineralisation. Test interpreted structural targets. Evaluate additional mineralised zones generated through the Company's geological reinterpretation. The programme comprised 40 aircore holes for 2,680 metres and was completed during July 2026. Gold assays have now been received for all 1,587 submitted samples. The programme confirmed gold mineralisation across multiple target areas, successfully validating historical exploration results and strengthening confidence in the continuity of the shallow gold mineralisation along several interpreted structural corridors. Together with numerous additional anomalous gold intersections, these results materially reduce geological risk and support the potential for multiple shallow gold systems across the Peak Hill project. Peak Hill is located in an established Western Australian gold district with multiple operating processing plants within trucking distance, providing an attractive development setting should exploration continue to prove successful. In addition to confirming the Company's existing priority targets, interpretation of the Phase 1 drilling programme has highlighted a significant exploration target between the Junction and Curley's prospects. This area displays favourable structural complexity, magnetic anomalies and lies adjacent to an interpreted lithological boundary-features commonly associated with gold mineralisation in the district. Importantly, this corridor has the potential to connect two already mineralised areas and substantially increase the overall exploration footprint of the project. Despite its prospective geological setting, the corridor has seen little historical drilling and represents one of the highest priority exploration targets within the project. It will form a key component of the Company's Phase 2 drilling programme. Planning for the Phase 2 drilling programme is already underway and will be further refined with the multi element assays results when known, with drilling expected to commence during August 2026. The Phase 2 programme is expected to focus on: Extending gold mineralisation along strike and down dip at Junction and Curley's. Further infill drilling across the strongest mineralised zones. First-pass drilling of the newly identified Junction-Curley's target corridor. Advancing the project towards an initial Mineral Resource Estimate. Alongside continued work at Peak Hill, the Company also retains exposure to additional exploration catalysts across its broader Western Australian portfolio, at the Green Rocks Copper-Gold project and the Mount Sholl Nickel-Copper-PGE project option. The information in this announcement that relates to exploration results, mineral resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by Mr. Edward Mead, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Mead is a consultant to the Company. Mr. Mead has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

Forgent PLC Completes Phase 1 Drilling Programme At Peak Hills Gold-Copper Project Forgent PLC has successfully completed the Phase 1 drilling programme at the Company's Peak Hills gold-copper project in Western Australia. The Phase 1 programme was designed to test multiple high-priority targets across the Karalundi, Junction and Curleys prospects. The programme has focused on validation of historic exploration results, extension of known mineralisation and evaluation of additional mineralised zones across the broader project area, to advance the Company's understanding of the gold-copper potential at Peak Hills. The programme comprised 40 drill holes for a total of approximately 2,680 metres, with drill depths of up to 100 metres. A combination of aircore ("AC") and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling techniques was utilised, with RC drilling employed where hard ground conditions prevented effective aircore drilling. 1,587 samples, a combination of 3m composite and single metre samples from the drilling programme have been submitted to a Perth-based independent laboratory for assay. The Company will provide a further update once assay results have been received and interpreted.

Forgent plc Mobilises Exploration Team for Maiden Field Programme At Green Rock Copper-Gold Project Forgent plc announced that its exploration team will mobilise to site over the coming weekend to commence the Company's maiden field programme at the Green Rock Copper-Gold Project in Western Australia. The mobilisation follows the Company's recently announced acquisition of a 99% interest in the Green Rock Project, located in the Ashburton Basin in the southern Pilbara region of Western Australia. Historical exploration at Green Rock has identified high-grade copper and gold mineralisation at surface, including reported grades of up to 46.7% copper and 5.31 g/t gold associated with structurally controlled mineralisation across multiple prospects within the project area. The upcoming programme represents the commencement of a systematic field campaign at the project, designed to validate and extend on historical data and define potential drill targets. Programme Objectives · Validate previously reported high-grade copper-gold rock-chip samples · Undertake systematic infill sampling between historical sample locations · Test strike extensions of known mineralised zones · Determine the orientation and structural controls of copper-gold mineralisation · Generate priority targets for potential drilling Planned Activities The exploration team will undertake systematic rock-chip sampling across four priority target areas: Minga Central/West, Green Hat, K16 South and Minga North. The programme includes infill and validation sampling of historical high-grade copper-gold results as well as stream sediment sampling across surrounding drainage systems to identify potential strike extensions and additional mineralised trends. All samples from the programme will be submitted for multi-element laboratory analysis including copper and gold assays. Next Steps Results from the programme will be used to refine the geological model for the Green Rock project and prioritise targets for follow-up drilling. Maiden drilling is currently targeted for August 2026. Further updates will be provided once the field programme is completed. Duyuru • Feb 25

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 66% 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.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 38% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of British stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: €11m Forecast net loss in 3 years: €597k 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (27% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (111% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£4.81m market cap, or US$6.04m).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 111% 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 (-€8.5m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (111% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£4.54m market cap, or US$5.73m).

EQTEC plc Announces Discontinuation of Billingham Project EQTEC plc announced its intention to cease activity on its Billingham project at Haverton Hill, Teesside, UK (the Project). The decision comes amidst increasingly challenging market conditions in the UK and following recent setbacks with the Project that make it unfeasible for the Company to prioritise against its broader strategic opportunities. The Project was one of the Company's most ambitious to date, aiming to create a refuse-derived fuel (RDF)-to-combined heat and power (CHP) facility that would transform 200,000 tonnes per year of RDF into up to 25MW of electricity for export to the national grid, with the potential for creating up to 34MW of thermal energy (the Plant). The Company had secured all relevant permits and permissions to build the Plant, agreed favourable heads of terms for over 250% of its required volume of feedstock and was pursuing discussions with neighbouring companies about provision of private wire offtake. Finalising private wire offtake terms was as an essential final step in making the Project attractive for investors seeking larger-scale investment opportunities, and EQTEC had been in discussion with candidate offtakers toward formal agreements. However, those candidate offtakers' recent announcements of their intentions to close their own Teesside operations created a significant setback for the Company in its efforts to finalise the investment case for the Project. Notably, nearby industrial companies announcing closures of Teesside operations cited increasing costs of doing business in the UK and the consequent challenges of remaining competitive as the rationale for their decisions. The Company has experienced similar challenges and is not in a position to fund further, expensive work on development of the Project. At the same time, and due to unprecedented demand for grid connectivity near the Haverton Hill site, Northern Powergrid Holdings Company (NPg) has informed the Company that it has terminated its grid connection contract with Billingham EFW Limited (Billingham EFW), which owns the land on which the Plant was to be built. Given that the Project is overdue on its milestone to commence construction, NPg informed the Company that it was under political pressure to cancel the contract given strong demand for connections from new energy projects and aggressive development around the specific grid connection point relevant to the Project. The Project's option to lease the land owned by Billingham EFW, a wholly owned subsidiary of Scott Bros. Limited (Scott Bros), is contingent upon retention of the grid connection and thus also at risk given the NPg contract termination. The Company remains in discussion with Scott Bros about options for recovering as much as possible from the investments made in the land and Project. The Company has to date invested c. £4 million in the Project. In line with accounting standards (IAS 36 - impairment of assets), the Company believes that a significant portion of its previous investment into development of the Project, less any amounts recovered as referred to above, will be impaired. This accounting treatment will be evident in the Fiscal Year 2023 audited financial statements, resulting in a reduction in assets and recognition of an impairment expense of the same amount.

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: -€10m 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 (-€10m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (28% increase in shares outstanding).
