MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE (MRE) Information in this Presentation that relates to exploration results, the data and geological interpretation used as the basis of the mineral resources was reported by Ballard on the 26 February 2026 and for which the consent of the Competent Person Mr Todd Hibberd was obtained. Ballard confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the 26 February 2026 announcement.

Ballard confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the 26 February 2026 announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed. Past Exploration results and Mineral Resource Estimates reported in this announcement have been previously prepared and disclosed by Ballard in the IPO Prospectus. JORC CODE DIFFERS FROM REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the JORC Code. Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company in this presentation comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators or (ii) Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, which governs disclosure of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Presentation describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of other countries. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” in this Presentation will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will be able to legally and economically extract them. FINANCIAL INFORMATION All dollar amounts are in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated. EFFECT OF ROUNDING The figures in this Presentation may be subject to rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ from the figures set out in this presentation. 3ASX: BM1
