BHP-Mundoro Projects, Serbia

Exploration continued across the five licenses that are part of the earn-in agreement with BHP.

Borsko Project

• Q2-2025 Exploration Activities:

• Geophysics: A 3D inversion model from the ground Audio-Magnetotelluric (AMT) survey was received.
• Geochemistry: Green Rock analysis was completed at the end of the quarter.
• Drilling: Drill testing was initiated near the end of the quarter at a new target area in the northwest portion of the license.

• H2-2025 Exploration Plans:

• Drilling & Analysis: The drill program at the northwest target was completed in July and will be followed by analysis of the results.
• Data Integration: The ground AMT geophysical model will be integrated and analyzed in Q3-2025 to refine drill targets. Resampling of approximately 63% of historical drillhole pulps will be undertaken to consolidate geochemical data.
• Geochronology: A molybdenite sample will be analyzed to estimate the timing of mineralization.

Trstenik and Crvena Zemlja Projects

• Q2-2025 Exploration Activities:

• Field Work: Mapping was conducted in the central target area, focusing on areas with elevated magnetic geophysical data.
• Modeling: Analysis of geophysical, geochemical, and spectral drilling data was performed to outline an optimal drilling target for a future campaign in the southern targets area.

• H2-2025 Exploration Plans:

• Drilling: Execution of the drill program in the north-central target area is a key priority for H2-2025, pending the receipt of the final permits.
• Modeling & Geochronology: 3D modeling of the southern targets is planned for 2025 to enhance understanding of the mineralized system. Molybdenite samples will be analyzed to determine the age of mineralization.

Southern Timok Properties (Vitanovac, Ponor, Lipovica, Orlovac)

• Q2-2025 Exploration Activities:

• Geological Interpretations: Geological cross-sections were built across all four license areas to compare with available geophysical information.
• Lipovica: A ground AMT infill survey was completed, and reconnaissance field mapping is ongoing.
• Orlovac: A ground gravity survey was completed, with reconnaissance field mapping ongoing.

• H2-2025 Exploration Plans:

• Modeling: A comprehensive interpretation and modeling of all geophysical surveys for each of the four properties is scheduled for completion in H2-2025 to generate refined exploration targets.
• Geochronology: Age-dating of zircon and andesite samples will be conducted for the Vitanovac, Ponor, and Orlovac properties.

JOGMEC-Mundoro EE1 Copper Project, Bulgaria

• Q2-2025 Project Update:

• Permitting Delay: In Q2-2025, a higher court in Bulgaria granted an appeal filed by an objecting party against the positive Appropriate Assessment decision for the project's drill program. The case has been sent back to a lower court for further review, which will extend the permitting process and delay the planned drill program.

• H2-2025 Exploration Plans:

• Drilling: The planned drilling program, designed to test high-priority sediment-hosted copper targets, remains contingent on the final resolution of the permitting process and receipt of all government approvals.
