2 of 10 CEO AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Commenting on the September 2025 quarter, Hillgrove Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Bob Fulker said: “The September quarter marked a period of significant progress for Hillgrove . The Nugent Acceleration Project was completed ahead of schedule, while initial drilling at Emily Star delivered outstanding early results that further strengthen our growth pipeline. With the early Nugent development, stope ore is expected in early October, a major milestone for the Company. This is anticipated to lift the mill throughput rate at the Kanmantoo plant by approximately 25%, to between 1.7 and 1.8Mtpa by mid 2026. The strong drilling results at Emily Star have provided the confidence to establish a drill platform aimed at expanding the Emily Star Resource with the long-term goal of establishing a third mining front. The successful $28 million placement received strong support from new and existing institutional investors in Australia and offshore. This funding provides the financial capacity to complete the Nugent development and sets us up for further growth with the acceleration of the development of Emily Star.” SUSTAINABILITY The Company is proud to have been named a finalist for the Premier’s award in the ‘Environment’ category, which acknowledges outstanding achievement in delivering positive environmental results. More specifically, the award recognises the Kanmantoo Grassy Woodland Revegetation Project and Habitat Corridor Initiative , which are being undertaken by the Company and the Kanmantoo Callington Community Consultative Committee (K4C). The Kanmantoo Grassy Woodland Revegetation Project and associated Habitat Corridor Initiative (Project) are outstanding examples of what can be achieved when the re is a shared vision bet ween mining operations and the local community towards a common goal, which in this case is the local environment. The project will revegetate a significant area of degraded land to re -establish critically endangered peppermint box communities, improve the quality of riparian red gum remnants, provide a habitat for endangered bird species and link adjacent revegetation areas. This will create a continuous habitat corridor for both indigenous fauna and flora. OPERATIONS The Kanmantoo Copper Mine is situated in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, 60 kilometres from Adelaide. The strategic location of the mine offers significant advantages from an operating and capital cost perspective, as well as making the mine an employer of choice for the local skilled workforce. Safety The Total Recordable Injury Frequency ( TRIF) increased to 37.3, with the majority of incidents related to musculoskeletal injuries. In response, the Company has launched a targeted health, wellbeing and injury prevention program in partnership with an external specialist. This initiative focuses on daily job-specific injury prevention using innovative methodologies and technology to reduce risk and improve workforce engagement. On the compliance and training documentation front, the Company rolled out an Operational Training and Assessment Package, mental health first aid training, and nationally accredited programs. Work on regulatory dust compliance continued on-site, reinforcing Hillgrove’s commitment to a safe and compliant operating environment. For personal use only

4 of 10 On 11 September 2025, FY25 copper production guidance was amended to 11,000-11,500 tonnes, reflecting current mining performance through the Kavanagh ‘Pinch Zone’ and the strategic sequencing of Nugent ore 4. The updated guidance incorporated observed grade variability and operational learnings, with no change to long -term resource potential4. All-in cost (AIC) guidance was adjusted to US$4.20 -4.45/lb payable Cu, excluding Nugent Acceleration capital expenditure4. Gross AIC have decreased for the quarter however, due to the timing of copper payable tonnes sold versus copper tonnes produced, the AIC per pound for Kanmantoo has increased. Operational performance strengthened across the September quarter, with continued improvement across mining, processing, and copper production. Total copper production increased 8% to 2,808 tonnes (Q2: 2,593t), reflecting improved mining and development efficiency. The operation delivered consistent advancement in both underground development and load-haul productivity, despite intermittent workforce and equipment constraints. Ore mined increased to 375kt (+12% QoQ), underpinned by steady underground development and stope availability. Processed tonnes rose to 366kt, with grade improving to 0.81% Cu (Q2: 0.77%) and recoveries maintained at 94.5%, consistent with historical performance. By-product output also increased, with gold production up 28% and silver up 4%, providing additional revenue and strengthening by-product credits. Realised copper prices increased to A$14,447/t, resulting in revenue exceeding Q2 levels despite lo wer sales volumes and delivery into a number of lo wer priced hedges. Concentrate inventories increased from 502 tonnes at June to 1,729 tonnes at September, positioning the Company for a stronger sales and revenue outcome in Q4 as shipments align with production. AISC improved to A$6.36/lb (US$4.07/lb), a 5% reduction from $6.69/lb (US$4.28/lb) in Q2, driven by stronger by - product credits, increased concentrate inventory, and stable site expenditure. AIC excluding Nugent closed at US$4.54 for Q3, however, is currently sitting at US$4.24/lb year-to-date, which is within the updated FY25 guidance range of US$4.20-4.45/lb. While production volumes increased, payable copper sales declined 6% to 2,422 tonnes as a result of shipment timing and a build -up of concentrate stocks at quarter end. This led to temporarily higher unit costs, despite lower underlying operating costs. With Nugent stope production commencing in October, Hillgrove is well positioned to increase mining rates and deliver further unit cost reductions through the next quarter. The Q3 results reflect a stable and improving operational performance as we head into Q4. Nugent Acceleration Project In early August, the Nugent Acceleration Project 4 was completed ahead of schedule and largely within budget. This milestone enabled the processing of 6,167 tonnes of Nugent development ore from the 1020 Southern ore drive . Subsequent to quarter end, Nugent stoping production commenced on 15 October 2025, marking the transition from development to production at Nugent. At the end of September , 1,379 metres of underground development had been completed , with only 229 metres remaining to connect the Nugent incline and declin e. The connection , expected in Q4 2025, w ill streamline ore haulage and further improve underground mining efficiency. The Nugent development provided the platform for exploration drilling to commence at Emily Star, which has the potential to open a new mining front and further optimise mill throughput. 4 Refer to ASX release on 11 September 2025 titled ‘Nugent Acceleration Project Completed Enabling Production Ahead of Schedule .

5 of 10 Resource Drilling Active resource drilling focused on extension and infill opportunities. This dual approach delivered near-term value through increased geological confidence, leading to more accurate mine planning while also unlocking longer-term growth potential by testing the boundaries of known mineralisation zones. These efforts form a core part of the strategy to extend mine life, optimise stoping sequences, and position Kanmantoo for sustained copper production. The resource drilling target ed along strike and down -dip extensions of the Kavanagh and Nugent Cu -Au Mineral Resources. 109 holes were drilled, with a total of 22,400 drilling metres completed. Drilling across the Nugent mineralisation confirmed high-grade copper-gold extensions and strong mineral continuity, reinforcing the strategic value of th is resource within the broader underground operation. Kavanagh intercepts, extended known mineralisation beyond current development fronts, supporting future stoping and potential resource upgrades. These results underpin near-term mine planning and provide a compelling basis for continued exploration targeting both resource expansion and operational flexibility. Significant intersections included: • Nugent: o 4m @ 1.03% Cu + 2.32g/t Au (uncut) from 348m down hole in 25KVUG05685 o 21m @ 0.85% Cu + 0.98g/t Au from 136m downhole in 25KVUG06536 o 15m @ 0.91% Cu + 0.29g/t Au from 161m downhole in 25KVUG06536 o 11.5m @ 0.99% Cu + 0.79g/t Au from 145.5m downhole in 25KVUG05436 ▪ Including 4m @ 1.93% Cu +1.14g/t Au from 153m o 8m @ 0.85% Cu + 0.36g/t Au from 177m downhole in 25KVUG05556 o 5m @ 1.43% Cu + 0.34g/t Au from 194m downhole in 25KVUG05556 o 3m @ 0.98% Cu + 0.99g/t Au from 171m downhole in 25KVUG05596 o 4m @ 0.76% Cu + 0.46g/t Au from 177m downhole in 25KVUG05596 • Kavanagh7: o 15.1m @ 2.52% Cu & 0.09g/t Au (uncut) from 101.9m downhole in 25KVUG0606 o 12.9m @ 1.29% Cu & 0.22g/t Au (uncut) from 205m downhole in 25KVUG0598 o 12.2m @ 0.82% Cu & 0.18g/t Au (uncut) from 175m downhole in 25KVUG0598 • Saddle zone – new high-grade mineralisation between the existing Kavanagh and Nugent mining area7: o 14m @ 2.67% Cu + 0.36g/t Au (uncut) from 136m downhole in 25KVUG0567 o 10.2m @ 1.28% Cu + 0.18g/t Au (uncut) from 138m down hole in 25KVUG0569 o 10.5m @ 1.01% Cu + 0.03g/t Au (uncut) from 170.5m down hole in 25KVUG0569 Drilling from underground remain ed on track for the planned Mineral Resource update in Q4 2025 , with results received up to 11 August 2025 to be incorporated into the estimate update. 5 Refer to ASX release on 19 August 2025 titled ”New High Grade Copper – Gold Discovery at Kanmantoo”. 6 Refer to ASX release on 16 September 2025 titled ‘High-grade Copper-Gold Extensions at Nugent’ 7 Refer to ASX release on 19 August 2025 titled ”New High Grade Copper – Gold Discovery at Kanmantoo”.

6 of 10 EXPLORATION Near Underground Infrastructure Drilling focused on the Emily Star down dip extension, Critchley and Paringa brownfield exploration targets. The first underground drill results at Emily Star intersected multiple mineralised zones, validating the geological model and opening a new growth corridor proximal to existing infrastructure. Notable intersections included: Emily Star8: • 6.3m @ 1.76% Cu + 0.12g/t Au from 425.15m downhole in 25KVUG0699 • 19.1m @ 1.91% Cu + 0.15g/t Au from 500m downhole in 25KVUG0699 • 5.7m @ 2.12% Cu + 0.36g/t Au from 531m downhole in 25KVUG0699 Critchley8: • 3.0m @ 0.70% Cu + 0.11g/t Au from 251m downhole Paringa8: • 2.7m @ 0.40% Cu + 0.01g/t Au from 124.3m downhole Near mine The copper-gold targets within ten kilometres of the Kanmantoo processing plant include the South Kanmantoo, Stella, Mullewa and North west Kanmantoo geochemical and geophysical targets. An Magnetotelluric9 (MT) Survey was completed over the eastern margin of the interpreted alteration corridor surrounding the Kanmantoo deposit across both the EL6526 and ML6345. The survey identified several conductive features at depth, some of which are spatially associated with known mineralised trends and interpreted structural corridors10. These results will guide future drilling campaigns. Regional The Southeast tenement area comprises 4,187km 2 of exploration licences within the Kanmantoo Province in the south-east of South Australia. The work plan for the coming year will focus on target areas to provide key geological knowledge to assist in identifying potential high-value economic areas of interest. Hillgrove completed passive seismic and gravity survey s within the Southeast tenements, with results pending . Along with this , an assessment of tenement s was completed, with low potential tenements flagged for relinquishment. Further geophysical work is planned for higher potential Southeast tenements prior to year end. 8 Refer to ASX release 18 September 2025 titled “Outstanding Emily Star Drill Results” 9 Magnetotellurics (MT) and Audio -frequency MT (AMT) are electro -magnetic survey and imaging techniques that use naturally -occurring ionospheric current sheets and lightning storms — passive energy sources — to map geologic structures to depths of 1500 meters or more. 10 Refer to ASX release on 24 July 2025 titled “Kanmantoo MT Survey Identified Alteration Targets”.
