2 ASX: BM1 ballardmining.com.au Commenting on the quarterly activities report, Managing Director Paul Brennan said: “It has been a pleasing first Quarter for Ballard since listing on the ASX and I’d like to thank all shareholders, employees and contractors for enabling a successful start for the Company. We are committed to advancing our parallel growth and development work streams as set out in the Prospectus and the Use of Funds. Early proof of concept exploration drill results and interpretation is showing encouraging signs of Mt Ida growing to a camp scale Project. We remain on track to achieve our first milestone of delivering a targeted 400-500koz Maiden Ore Reserve at Baldock by mid CY2026”. Ballard Mining (ASX:BM1) (“Ballard” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its first Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B, for the quarter ending 30 September 2025. Located 540km northeast of Perth, in the Goldfields region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Mt Ida Gold Project covers 26km of prospective greenstone belt, folded around the Copperfield Granite. Figure 1 - Ballard’s Mt Ida Gold Project, located in Western Australia’s Goldfield Region. The Project includes six granted mining leases, and is fully permitted for mining and processing, including an approved Mining Proposal, Mine Closure Plan and a Works Approval for up to 2.0 Mtpa Processing and Tails Storage (the Works Approval was received after the end of the September Qtr). Mining approvals are already in place for both open pit and underground mining at the Baldock deposit, which is the primary area of high-grade gold mineralisation.

3 ASX: BM1 ballardmining.com.au The Mt Ida Gold Project hosts a JORC 2012- compliant Mineral Resource Estimate totalling 10.3 million tonnes @ 3.3 g/t Au for 1.1 million ounces of contained gold^. The Baldock deposit, which comprises over 84% of the total ounces, is advanced and forms the basis for near-term development studies. An 80,000m infill and extensional drilling program commenced in the September Quarter and is approximately 75% complete at the date of this report. The infill is designed to increase the resource confidence at Baldock by converting inferred resources to indicated. In addition, a 50,000m exploration program has been budgeted across the Project particularly targeting highly prospective and underexplored zones along the 26km strike of both the Baldock Thrust and the Ballard Fault. Several encouraging early results have been received and are discussed later in this report. Those results have been separately released to the ASX (refer later in report for full list of announcements). Figure 2 - Mineral Resources at the Mt Ida gold project Ballard is pursuing a dual stream Growth and Development Strategy. The Company’s ambition is to establish by mid CY2026, a 5 to 6 year mine life at Baldock underpinned by a Maiden Ore Reserve of 400 - 500koz and visibility over a 10 year mine life with exploration success (Figure 3). 1 Refer to the Ballard IPO Prospectus lodged with ASIC and dated 30 May 2025 (as amended by the Supplementary Prospectus lodged with ASIC and dated 17 June 2025) for further information on the MRE, and Appendix A.

Mt Ida Infill Program - Development The 80,000m infill and extensional drilling program at the Baldock deposit is a core component of Ballard Mining's exploration and development strategy at the Mt Ida Gold Project (Figure 3). The infill drilling program is designed to increase the confidence of the existing Mineral Resource at Baldock, upgrading the Resource classification from Inferred to Indicated categories. The drilling is also providing geotechnical and metallurgical data to support ongoing studies to a Feasibility Level of detail. The Company is currently focussed on just five major lodes (1090, 1100, 2140, 2120, and 2160) out of a total of 47 lodes. Many of the results in this announcement are from outside these five lodes and potentially will contribute to Resource growth at Baldock. A Mineral Resource Estimate update for Baldock is planned for the March Quarter. At the date of this report, the infill program is approximately 75% complete. Mt Ida - Regional Exploration Along with infill and extensional drilling being undertaken at Baldock, the Company has received results from initial regional exploration drilling, identifying a new gold discovery at the Neptune Prospect. This discovery confirms the prospective nature of the underexplored Ballard Fault where additional priority exploration targets (Figure 4 ) are located and are being systematically drilled with a Phase 1 “Proof of C o n c e p t ” p r o g r a m .

Post Quarter Ballard received a Works Approval to construct a 2.0 Mt pa Processing Plant and Tailings Storage Facility. Ballard has also applied for an additional 2.5 GL/yr water abstraction license and has constructed three production bores, which were pump tested for 24 hours to support Ballard’s applicatio n. The application is progressing and Ballard expects to receive the additional water license in the December Quarter which will increase Ballard’s overall water license to 3.7 GL/yr. As part of the infill drilling program at Baldock, diamond core and samples are being collected to advance Geotechnical and Metallurgy to a Feasibility Level of Detail. This will support the resource conversion (from the infill drilling) for a Maiden Ore Reserve at Baldock for mid-CY2026.

6 ASX: BM1 ballardmining.com.au Corporate Ballard was formed via a spin-out of the Mt Ida gold rights from Delta Lithium Limited (“Delta”) into Mt Ida Au Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ballard. Delta initially received 220 million shares in Ballard for vending the Mt Ida gold rights . Delta subsequently distributed approximately 29% of these shares to its shareholders via an in-specie distribution. Ballard was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 14 July, 2025 after a successful IPO which saw $30 million through the issue of 120 million shares at $0.25 each, with both existing Delta shareholders and new investors participating. Capital Structure The current capital structure of Ballard is shown below.
