corelithium.com.au 2 Commenting on the June quarter 2025, Core CEO Paul Brown said: “Completion of the Restart Study work programs and release of the study to the market was a standout highlight in the June quarter. We achieved our objective of demonstrating a pathway for Finniss to produce significantly higher margin volumes of spodumene concentrate by adopting a revised mine plan and processing strategy with reduced capital investment relative to the previous operating model. Finniss has many positive attributes that have been leveraged through our restart plan – established infrastructure, high-grade ore bodies well suited to low-cost underground mining and a proven processing plant with opportunity for performance optimisation. Following the release of the Restart Study , Core hosted a group of equity analysts and investors at Finniss to showcase the value creation opportunity. We were encouraged by the positive feedback as we undertake a strategic funding process with our advisors, Morgan Stanley. Over the financial year, Core took steps to simplify its contractual position , which has been key in reducing liabilities and strengthening our financial position. These strategic decisions have enhanced our balance sheet flexibility, positioning the business for a more resilient restart. Notably, expenditure, excluding the one-off payment to Yahua, decreased by 67% from the March quarter. We are well positioned to advance the restart of Finniss, with a capital-efficient plan, a cleansed balance sheet and the right strategic funding process underway.” Sustainability Core remains in compliance with all water discharge requirements. There were no environmental exceedances due to mine water discharge in 2025. Care and maintenance activities progressed across multiple areas at Finniss, with no safety incidents reported during the quarter. Year to date safety performance remains strong. The planned installation of a submersible pump in Grants Pit significantly improved dewatering efficiency with the volume of water discharged in 2025 increasing by 15%. Compared to diesel -powered pumps, the submersible system has led to savings in labour, maintenance and diesel use. Additional savings were achieved by significantly increasing the use of siphons for water transfer and discharge in lieu of pumping. The outcome of these measures was a reduction in diesel usage and a significant reduction in unit costs for dewatering. Balance Sheet Core ended the quarter with $23.5 million cash at bank (31 March 2025: $29.8 million). Cash outflows were in line with expectations. Th e recurring costs for the quarter consisted of site maintenance ; costs associated with the restart strategy and exploration. The key movements in the Company’s cash during the quarter were: • One-off non-recurring payment of $3.1 million (US$2.0 million) in relation termination of the Yahua offtake agreement • Finniss site maintenance costs of $ 0.3 million primarily related to DMS plant care and maintenance for operational readiness, and site salaries • Exploration expenditure of $0.5 million, primarily related to exploration salaries and tenement rents • Expenses relating to Restart Study, employee and other corporate-related expenses of $2.4 million Core has made strategic decisions that have contributed to a reduction in liabilities, strengthening our financial position and enhancing our balance sheet flexibility. Expenditure, excluding the one -off payment to Yahua, reduced by 67% from the March quarter. Exploration and any activities relating to FID will be considered subject to market conditions and funding opportunities. For personal use only

Finniss Lithium Operations Restart Study site visit Following the release of the Restart Study, Core hosted a group of equity analysts and investors at Finniss on 16 and 17 June 2025 with a tour of existing site infrastructure and outlining plans to further develop and enhance the project’s assets. Restart Study The Company completed a comprehensive, bottom -up assessment of the Finniss operation, with a focus developing a new mining and processing plan to reduce the cost base and improve operating efficiency. A Restart Study outlining the outcomes of this work was released to the ASX on 14 May 2025 4. The Restart Study includes: • Optimised underground mine plans for the Grants, BP33 and Carlton deposits and a base case mining schedule; • An enhanced process flowsheet and proposed process plant upgrades; • Detailed operating and capital cost estimates; and • Future upside opportunities. An updated Ore Reserve and Exploration Targets for the Blackbeard and BP33 Deeps was also completed to support the Restart Study and released to the ASX concurrently. The Restart Study demonstrates a robust base-case operation with an updated Mine Life of 20 years and future extension potential. Finniss boasts exceptional potential to grow beyond this base case production estimate. A summary of the Restart Study outcomes is shown in Table 1. The location of Finniss, including key deposits and infrastructure, is shown in Figure 1.

Upside Opportunities The Restart Study identified several opportunities to enhance the restart plan, including pathways to improve returns, extend mine life, and increase production. Process improvements Opportunities exist to enhance processing performance by increasing DMS feed efficiency and improving recovery. Further refinement of mining practices may also reduce dilution, contributing to higher feed grades and better plant outcomes. Increased production and LOM extension Immediate potential exists to target increased ore production from Finniss to extend the mine life. The Study mine plan only includes the Grants, BP33, and Carlton deposits defined Mineral Resources. Several prospects are planned to potentially increase th e LOM mineable quantities in future work programs ; these include Blackbeard and BP33 Deeps. Throughput expansion Further studies are underway to investigate the potential to increase the plant throughput beyond 1.2Mpta. Potential feed material could be sourced to support this expansion through bringing forward mining at Carlton and the potential addition of Blackbeard with exploration success. For personal use only

Effective date of the Ore Reserves is 30 April 2025. 2. Ore Reserves are the total for the Grants and BP33 Mines and the mineralised material within the TSF/stockpiles. 3. The long-term Spodumene price used for calculating the financial analysis is US$1,330/t. The analysis has been calculated with assumptions for crushing, processing and treatment charges, deductions and payment terms, concentrate transport, metallurgical recoveries, and royalties. 4. The breakeven cut-off for underground mining is $110/t NSR. 5. Measured Mineral Resources were used to estimate Proved Ore Reserves; Indicated Mineral Resources were used to estimate Probable Ore Reserves. 6. Tonnage and grade estimates include dilution and recovery allowances. 7. The Ore Reserves reported above are not additive to the Mineral Resources. 8. Totals within this table are subject to rounding. Insufficient work has been completed at Carlton to report an Ore Reserve. Core has commenced further study work capturing the outcomes from the Grants and BP33 Ore Reserves and the Study. Core will be targeting an updated Ore Reserve for Carlton however th ere is no certainty this work will result in the reporting of an Ore Reserve for Carlton. Further commentary on the updated MRE and Ore Reserve , including Table 1 disclosures, is provided in the Company’s ASX announcement Updated Finniss Lithium Project Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimate dated 14 May 2025. Exploration Target An Exploration Target of 10.9Mt – 16.5Mt at a grade of between 1.5% and 1.7% Li2O was defined by the Company across two different deposits. Exploration Targets have been defined at the existing BP33 Mineral Resource (ML32346) and at the Blackbeard deposit within MLN1148. Cautionary Statement: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The new Exploration Target is in addition to the Mineral Resource Estimate of 48.5Mt @ 1.26% Li 2O already defined by Core at Finniss and is summarised in Table 4. For personal use only

With gold prices trading near record highs, Shoobridge offers a strategic opportunity alongside Core’s primary lithium focus. Desktop evaluation was undertaken to better define the large, shallow gold system at Mt Shoobridge. Geological interpretation and modelling are in progress and will underpin preliminary understanding of the geometry, continuity, and controls on mineralisation to assist in guiding future drill targeting. This work will also help support preliminary considerations and testing related to bulk mining potential, metallurgical and economic studies. Planning for mapping and sampling at several regional Shoobridge Project targets was completed (Figure 2). The regional targets are comparable in scale to Mt Shoobridge but considered untested or undertested. Exploration activities across these areas are scheduled to commence during the second half of 2025 , with the aim of prioritising regional targets for follow-up exploration.

corelithium.com.au 8 Lithium Exploration At Blackbeard, planning is underway for a diamond drilling program in FY26. This program is designed to test the geology and lithium mineralisation associated with the Exploration Target at depth. The objective is to gather sufficient geological data to assess the potential for a future Mineral Resource Estimate. At the Anningie -Barrow Creek project, a gravity data survey was completed during May and June. This has provided insights into the geology of the northern part of the Barrow Creek pegmatite field in the area of Ringing Rocks. Further work is being assessed. Corporate Settlement of Offtake Agreement During the quarter Core settled the existing offtake agreement with Yahua International Investment and Development Co. (Yahua) in relation to sale of spodumene concentrate.6 The Company signed this agreement with Yahua in 2019 and updated the arrangement with a supplementary agreement in 2022.7 The agreement is now terminated through the execution of a comprehensive, legally binding deed of release. As part of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $3.1 million (US$2.0 million) in cash which was settled during the quarter. Termination of the offtake agreement will unlock previously contracted offtake tonnes and provide greater flexibility for the Company to engage with new strategic partners.
