Andromeda Metals Limited | 2 Discussion Andromeda reports the following activities, undertaken during the quarter ended 3 0 June 2025. Project Funding During the quarter , the Stage 1A+ project funding process was progressed , with Merricks Capital confirming credit approval for a $75 million debt facility (Facility) to support the Projects’ development. Credit approval for th e Facility follow ed a period of extensive due diligence conducted by Merricks Capital on the technical, financial, legal, market, environment and social aspects of the Project. Key terms of the Facility include1: • Amount of $75 million includes principal, capitalised interest and fees, cash reserving requirements and a cost overrun tranche. • Tenor of 78 months, with scheduled amortisation beginning after a 12 -month grace period following the completion of Project development, and ending at maturity with a 50% bullet repayment. • Security and covenant package customary for a facility of this nature , including the Company securing the necessary balance of funding to support a final investment decision for the Stage 1A+ development of the Project. Following credit approval being confirmed, Andromeda and Merricks Capital have worked on finalising the binding financing documentation for the Facility . These documents are now well progressed, with finalisation and execution subject to finalisation of the balance of funding . Whilst the formal exclusivity period expires on 31 July 2025, this does not mean documentation must be executed by this date. In parallel, the Company also progressed its funding process for the balance of Stage 1A+ project funding required to support a final investment decision , with a select number of capital financiers undertaking due diligence. This process includes discussions for investment through cornerstone equity and alternative funding structures, either at the company or project level. Technical During the period, commercial scale pilot plant trials using Great White CRM ™ in industrial glaze formulations at an established ceramic frit and glaze producer in Spain, were successfully completed2. The findings of the trials successfully validate Great White CRM ™ as a high-quality kaolin product for use in industrial glaze formulations, opening up new sales opportunities for Andromeda’s high -quality kaolin and enhancing Andromeda Metals’ position as a key supplier to the ceramic industry. The trials assessed the use of Great White CRM™ in two key glaze formulation segments: • a standard glaze composition to manufacture single -fired wall tiles with a glossy white opaque finish, with kaolin content of 8.3% by weight; and, • a matt “smaltobbio” glaze composition for the manufacture of porcelain tiles, with a kaolin content of 22%. For each glaze formulation, the trials also compared the results to glazes using the industry benchmark kaolin used by most ceramic glaze companies in Southern Europe. 1 Terms are further outlined in Schedule 1 of ADN ASX dated 4 June 2025 titled Credit Approved A$75 million Debt Facility, and are subject to confidentiality requirements. 2 Refer ADN ASX date 25 June 2025 titled Successful Commercial Scale Pilot Plant Ceramic Glaze Trials.

Andromeda Metals Limited | 3 Key trial findings, successfully validating Great White CRM™ for use in glaze formulations, were3: • Tests strongly support using Great White CRM ™ in the industrial manufacture of ceramic glazes , providing improvement in key glaze properties, such as adhesion, cohesion, and whiteness; • Enhanced Glaze Properties : The use of Great White CRM ™ significantly enhanced the properties of the glazed tiles. Notably, the adhesion and cohesion of the glaze layer before firing were improved, ensuring greater stability and reduced risk of defects such as chipping or peeling during handling; and, • Feasibility for Industrial Scale Production: Great White CRM™ can be successfully used in industrial- scale ceramic glaze production, with positive impacts on adhesion, whiteness, and overall tile performance. The trials were conducted at an established ceramic frit and glaze producer in Alcora, Spain. Using their glazing pilot plant, which replicate the industrial equipment and conditions found in typical commercial tile production facilities, the trials were under the control and monitoring of the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC)4 and overseen by Galesk Consultancy. During the quarter, the product validation program for the commercialisation of Great White HRM ™ was progressed. A program of testing samples of Great White HRM ™ in overseas markets to assess its suitability across a range of potential customer applications, was progressed. This includes the following activities during the quarter: • Japan & Singapore – a testing program across a range of potential customer applications in these and other Asian markets was progressed, using samples of Great White HRM™ previously sent; • Traxys – following a request by Traxys, a sample was sent to France for assessment in support of the conditional offtake agreement for Great White HRM™ with Traxys5; and, • IberoClays – a sample was sent to Spain for assessment in support the conditional offtake agreement for Great White HRM™ with IberoClays6. Operations In anticipation of a final investment decision, a significant amount of operational planning and project readiness activities were carried out during the quarter. Stage 1A+ detailed plant design and engineering were advanced, and activities supporting procurement and operational planning were undertaken by the Project team. As part of project readiness and financing requirements, during the quarter a capital expenditure review was commenced, in conjunction with refinement of the detailed design and engineering for Stage 1A+, together with a review of certain operational costs. In addition, significant engagement activities with financiers, and their advisers , were undertaken in support of the Stage 1A+ project funding process, as the Company progresse d through various funding due diligence processes. 3 Industrial validation of Andromeda CRM kaolin for ceramic glazes, Galesk Consultancy, May 2025. 4 Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica (ITC), located at the University Jaime I of Castellón in Spain. 5 Refer ADN ASX dated 17 July 2024 titled Binding Offtake Agreement signed with Traxys. 6 Refer ADN ASX dated 19 January 2024 titled Binding Sales and Distribution Agreement Signed with IberoClays.

Andromeda Metals Limited | 5 Figure 3 – Status of preparations ahead of planned construction Regional Exploration Eyre Kaolin Project (Andromeda has earned a 51% interest by expending $750,000 by November 2024) The Eyre Kaolin Joint Venture (EKJV) comprises four tenements located in close proximity to the GWP, which include kaolin prospects with complementary properties to those at GWP. During the quarter, drilling was conducted at the Chairlift Deposit to test for potential extensions and better define areas of the deposit that best complement Great White kaolin, with high brightness and low titanium. Samples collected from the drilling campaign have been sent for analysis. Additionally, Andromeda progressed a program to assess approximately 300 historic drillholes within the EKJV Project and surrounding area. Most of these holes were previously assayed only for uranium or heavy mineral sands, are now being reanalysed for a broader spectrum of commodities. The Company has the right to earn a further 29% interest in the EKJV (for a total of 80%) by expending a further $2 million on exploration by November 2027.

Andromeda Metals Limited | 6 Figure 5 - Recent drilling conducted at Chairlift Deposit (aerial view) Metals Projects Andromeda’s strategic focus remains on developing our portfolio of kaolin projects which has resulted in the Company divesting its gold and copper assets. During the quarter, the Company continued to progress the tenement transfers related to the previously completed sales of the Wudinna Gold Project and Moonta Copper Gold Project , via South Australia’s subdivision process. HPA Project – Breakthrough Results During the quarter, test work to optimise the Company’s novel flowsheet for the production of the critical mineral high purity alumina ( HPA), using high-quality refined kaolin product from GWP , produced breakthrough results7. Samples of HPA produced from the test work were submitted for independent analysis to EAG Eurofins USA, a globally recognised leader in materials testing located in the United States of America . The analysis conducted by EAG Eurofins USA confirmed the HPA sample as 99.9985% pure , which was independently confirmed by analysis conducted by Australia’s National Science Agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Andromeda’s novel flowsheet uses established metallurgical unit operations to refine the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) from kaolin. The successful trials at lab scale of the flowsheet sets Andromeda apart from other HPA producers, as the process is more cost and carbon effective than other reported processes . These outstanding results demonstrate the potential to expand Andromeda’s product portfolio in the future to include a value-added critical mineral. 7 Refer ADN ASX dated 1 May 2025 titled Andromeda Achieves HPA Breakthrough: Successful Production of 4N HPA & Validation of Novel Flow Sheet.
