_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quarterly Report September 2025 Page 2 Background Information Sorby Hills is located 50km from the regional centre of Kununurra in the East Kimberley of Western Australia and has access to existing sealed roads to transport the concentrate 150km from the mine site to the facilities at Wyndham Port. The Project comprises a Mineral Resource of 47.3Mt containing 1.5Mt Pb at 3.1% and 53Moz silver at 35g/t. The current Sorby Hills mine plan comprises 18.3Mt at 3.4% Pb and 39g/t Ag of which ~83% is classified as an Ore Reserve. On 6 June 2024, Boab released the results of a Front -End Engineering & Design Study (“ FEED Study”) on the Project showing strong pre -tax economics including C1 operating costs of US$0.36/lb payable Pb (incl. a net s ilver credit of US$0.37/lb payable Pb), NPV 8 of A$411M, IRR of 37%, A$778M free cash flow, and an average annualised EBITDA of A$126M. Pre-production capital costs were estimated to be A$264M of which a new processing plant comprised A$136M. Commodity Price Leverage With project operating costs expected to be covered by revenue from lead —underpinned by its historically stable pricing—project free cash flow is highly leveraged to silver prices. • The FEED Study assumed a silver price of US$27.4/oz (A$40.4/oz) • As of 24 October 2025, the spot silver price has increased to US$50.0/oz (A$76.5/oz) - an 82% uplift versus the FEED Study assumption. EPBC Approval On 3 September 2025, Boab announced that it had received approval under Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (“EPBC Act”) for the development of Sorby Hills. The approval, granted to Boab’s wholly-owned subsidiary Sorby Management Pty Ltd, permits the development of the planned open -pit operation, including the construction of a tailings storage facility, evaporation pond, borrow pit, and supporting infrastructure. The EPBC approval was a key milestone for Sorby Hills, providing certainty for the Project and enabling the Company to advance development plans with confidence. Appointment of Project Director On 12 September 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Russell Taylor as Project Director for Sorby Hills. Mr Taylor will be responsible for the delivery of the Sorby Hills Project through to commercial production. Mr Taylor is a seasoned mining executive with over 28 years’ experience in the development and operation of large -scale mining projects across Australia and internationally including senior executive and project leadership roles with leading resources companies including BHP, Peabody, Mineral Resources, Downer Mining, and Thiess. Mr Taylor’s appointment significantly strengthens Boab ’s capability as the Company progress es toward project execution. For personal use only

On 24 October 2025, the company advised that trading of Boab shares on the OTCQB Venture Market had commenced. Silver has been included in the U.S. Department of Interior’s draft 2025 Critical Minerals List, underscoring its role in clean energy, electrification and advanced technology. Furthermore, U.S. capital markets are home to many of the world’s leading silver companies, which typically attract higher valuations than their ASX-listed peers. The OTCQB listing provides U.S. based investors with improved accessibility and convenience to trade in Boab shares, while supporting the Company’s broader strategy to enhance market awareness and expand its international shareholder base. A$50 million capital raising On 14 October 2025, the Company announced it had received firm commitments for a two-tranche placement of 125,000,000 new shares to professional and sophisticated investors to raise A$50 million (before costs) (“ Placement”). The Placement issue price of A$0.40 per Placement Share represented an 11.1% discount to the 5 -trading day volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of A$0.450, an 8.7% discount to the 15-trading day VWAP of A$0.438 and a 2.3% discount to the 20 trading day VWAP of A$0.409 to 9 October 2025. Funds raised from the Placement will be applied towards the development of the Sorby Hills Project, including: early development works; the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in the Sorby Hills Project , the payment at FID for the acquisition of the DeGrussa plant; and general working capital.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quarterly Report September 2025 Page 8 Metal Equivalent Calculation Method The contained metal equivalence formula is based on the Sorby Hills Feed Study including: • Lead Price US$2,253.19/t; • Lead recovery of 91.0% (weighted average of oxide and fresh Pb recoveries); • Lead Payability rate of 95%; • Silver Price US$27.4/oz; • Silver recovery of 81.8% (weighted average of oxide and fresh Ag recoveries); and • Silver Payability rate of 95%. • Zinc Price US$2,500/t • Zinc Recovery of 91% • Zinc Payability of 95% It is Boab’s opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. The formula used to calculate lead equivalent grade is: MetalEq (%) = Gpri + (Gpri × [∑i Ri Si Vi Gi ]/(Rpri SpriVpriGpri)) where R is the respective metallurgical metal recovery rate, S is the respective smelter return rate, V is metal price/tonne or ounce, and G is the metal commodity grade for the suite of potentially recoverable commodities (i) relative to the primary metal (pri). Metal equivalents are highly dependent on the metal prices used to derive the formula. Boab notes that the metal equivalence method used above is a simplified approach. The metal prices are based on the DFS values adopted and do not reflect the metal prices that a smelter would pay for concentrate nor are any smelter penalties or charges included in the calculation. Owing to limited metallurgical data, zinc grades are not included at this stage in the lead equivalent grade calculation. For personal use only
