28 JANUARY 2026 | ASX: E25 4 Crushing and Mineral Sizer Solutions13 Element 25 has undertaken a detailed assessment of the crushing requirements for the expanded operations at Butcherbird, extensively evaluating the design requirements of the mineral crusher and sizers, including the associated equipment and circuit design to establish the most cost effective and efficient design for this capability. Mineral sizers from MMD have been selected as the preferred equipment for this application, and a procurement contract signed with MMD to supply both the primary and secondary sizer units along with critical spares and commitment for commissioning support and post-commissioning maintenance services. Equipment delivery is scheduled to align with the overall project plan and will be closely monitored. Logwasher13 The logwasher is a large-scale scrubbing unit with two counter‑rotating paddle shafts that scrub the feed while an opposing water flow separates liberated fines discharging clean product at the upper outlet of an inclined trough. This is a key step on the process flowsheet for BBX where the process aims to liberate the lump manganese product for the intercalated lateritic clay material. E25 has entered into a supply contract with KISA Gmbh to supply a logwasher unit with a nominal 600 t/h federate and max 11° gradient. The unit has been carefully selected for the proposed BBX use. The logwasher has been manufactured and awaits transportation to the Project site in accordance with the current schedule. Logistics13 Element 25 maintains a close partnership with REGROUP, the logistics service provider who supported the Stage 1 operations at Butcherbird, providing road haulage services for manganese concentrate from the Butcherbird mine site. The road haulage agreement for the BBX Project is currently being negotiated with REGROUP to provide for increased volumes as well as more efficient material movement through revised equipment selection and scheduling and improved analytics as well as a broader review of contract terms. As the largest cost of the proposed operation, both parties are working together to maximise efficiencies and reduce transportation costs, with identifying opportunities for continuous improvement being a key priority. As per the Stage 1 operations, the Company will utilise the Utah Point common user facilities to export manganese concentrate cargos, with adjustments to the logistics plan being developed to accommodate the larger volumes and optimise the overall transport costs.

28 JANUARY 2026 | ASX: E25 5 Offtake13 Discussions remain ongoing with a number of key counterparties to finalise offtake for the increased production from the BBX Project. The manganese concentrate product produced from the Butcherbird Mine has a unique set of properties which make it attractive to smelters, particularly in the silico-manganese market. These attributes include a high silica content (>20%), low levels of deleterious contaminants such as phosphorous, heavy metals and arsenic, a suitable iron-manganese ratio and a physical competency which minimises fragmentation and fines generation which can be important for transport and in smelting operations. The Company continues to refine the terms of the offtake under these negotiations and plans to finalise the preferred offtake partner and commercial terms as soon as practicable. Core Operating Systems13 The Core Operating and Business Intelligence Systems are key for the success of both the BBX Project and the long-term operations of the Butcherbird Manganese Mine. Element 25’s procurement team is working with selected consultants to develop the solution design document and define the scope of work for the core systems and associated infrastructure, including the Company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. These systems will provide the foundation for the Company’s vision to deliver a highly granular digital business intelligence system with detailed visibility on all operational elements form pit-to-port to support ongoing efficiency improvements, optimise product quality and reduce costs. As a long-term operation, it is critical that the Butcherbird Mine utilises a future facing technology strategy to maintain its competitive edge as the world moves towards the expanded adoption of real-time data driven automated decision making to maximise performance across all key metrics including safety, performance, and profitability. Permitting and Approvals13 The Element 25 Butcherbird Project is fully approved under the Western Australian Regulatory Framework14 to construct the 1.1Mpta15 processing plant. The Company has maintained all regulatory approvals including the Environmental Licence, since the Stage 1 plant commenced in 2021 through ongoing compliance and regular statutory reporting. The water abstraction licence, heritage clearances, native title and pastoral agreements are in place and continue to remain applicable. An established Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) is fully approved to support the storage requirements of the expansion for the first six years of operations and subsequent staged lifts and engineering designs have been completed to sustain the current Reserve life of the project. 14 E25 ASX Released dated 12 March 2025 15 E25 ASX Released dated 22 January 2025 For personal use only
