Dry metric tonnes. 2. Stope cut-off grade 0.8% CuEq (Copper Equivalent) to define development limits, 0.6% CuEq for stopes along defined development. Development cut-off grade 0.4% Copper. 3. Approximately 40,000 tonnes of Measured Mineral Resource has been converted to Probable Ore Reserves. The tonnes are in Nugent Mine Area and are contained in a region with high water inflows from intercepting diamond drill holes. Further work is required to determine a strategy to profitably mine these tonnes. 4. Reported Ore Reserves do not include any diluting Inferred or Unclassified material. The mine schedule includes 277kt at 0.2% Cu of non-Reserving material that is mined as unavoidable dilution. 5. Reported grades are rounded to two decimal places, copper equivalent to one decimal place. Tonnes are rounded to two significant figures. Minimum stoping widths of 5m true width. 6. Reported grades are rounded to two decimal places. Tonnes are rounded to two significant figures. 7. Any minor apparent discrepancies for sums in the table are due to rounding. 8. The period of economic extraction is from July 2025 to April 2028. 9. Ore Reserves are converted from Mineral Resources based on October 2025 Mineral Resources, reported herewith. 10. Competent Person: Mark Hamilton MAusIMM (#221080). 11. Over 18 months of mining actual demonstrates very good ground conditions. It is expected that this will continue, with Geotech modelling demonstrating stability over modelled life of mine. CuEq calculation takes into account all material cost drivers that differentiate value derived from copper and gold, expressed as copper grade in-situ. Drivers applied are concentrator recoveries, metal payability and metal prices. Silver (Ag) is not included in CuEq calculation due to immaterial value contribution. The following formula is used to calculate CuEq: CuEq = Cu% + (Au g/t / 31.1034 x Au Rec x Au Pay x Au Price) / Cu Pay / Cu Price / Cu Rec. Driving values used for 2025 ORE: Metal prices: Cu Price = US$3.85/lb, Au Price = US$3,000/Oz. Metallurgical recoveries: Cu Rec = 94.5%, Au Rec = 55% Payability: Cu Pay = 95%, Au Pay = 90%. It is Hillgrove’s view that all metals within this formula will be recovered and sold. Metallurgical recoveries are based on current plant performance. Metal payability is based on current concentrate quality and contracted marketing terms. The information is extracted from the report entitled “Hillgrove Delivers Ore Reserve Extension at 1.0% CuEq”. released on 30 October 2025 and is available to view on the Hillgrove Website https://www.hillgroveresources.com.au/announcements. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement. 16 Appendix - Kanmantoo Mineral Resource Notes: 1.
