Page 2 of 13 Brisbane, Australia - 27 October 2026: Australian copper developer KGL Resources Limited (ASX: KGL, KGL or the Company) provides its Quarterly Activities Report for the three months ended 30 September 2026. KGL Chief Executive Officer Sam Strohmayr said: “During the September quarter, KGL made substantial progress in preparing Jervois for construction, following the completion of our A$300 million equity raising. Site works advanced alongside engineering, procurement of critical long- lead equipment and exploration drilling, while our project delivery team continued progressing the major construction packages. “Since quarter-end, we have reached Final Investment Decision, marking a significant step for KGL and Jervois. With approximately 60% of project costs covered by executed contracts and capital costs remaining consistent with our Baseline Economic Model, we have a strong foundation for delivery. “As at the end of September 2026, the LME Copper cash settlement price has achieved four consecutive quarters of increases resulting in a cumulative 40% increase year on year, underpinning KGL’s timely development of the fully funded Jervois high grade Cu project in Australia. Our focus is firmly on safe and disciplined execution as we advance Jervois towards first copper concentrate production in H1 CY2028, while continuing to pursue exploration opportunities and growth, across our tenements.” Operational: Jervois Copper Project During the quarter, activity across KGL's 100%-owned Jervois Copper Project focused on site preparation, engineering, procurement and exploration, ahead of the commencement of principal construction. Site works At quarter-end: • the 72-room Camp had been installed, with service connections underway and camp operations to mobilise in October; • more than 40 permanent village modules (160 rooms) were in production in Darwin; • enabling civil works were underway; • crushing and screening activities for construction materials were underway; • demolition, clean-up and rehabilitation of the old Jervois mine site had commenced; and • geotechnical core drilling and assessments continued to support construction planning.

Page 6 of 13 Exploration Update Exploration continued during the quarter as part of the A$20 million 2026-2028 exploration program targeting resource growth, potential mine-life extensions and new discoveries across the broader Jervois and Unca Creek tenements. The program focused on drilling at Area 4 (Kylie Prospect) and continued magnetotelluric (MT) data collection across the Jervois tenement. The Kylie Prospect (Area 4) was identified through previous integrated 3D geophysical inversion modelling, incorporating magnetically guided gravity and MT inversions constrained by downhole geological information (Figure 1). The integrated models have delineated several new exploration targets, many of which coincide with geochemical anomalies identified during earlier exploration programs, providing additional support for their prospectivity. The Kylie Prospect is located approximately 500 metres south of Reward South, on the eastern limb of the regional J-fold. The prospect is concealed beneath cover, with no surface outcrop, making it an undercover exploration target. Its identification through integrated geophysical modelling highlights the potential for discovering additional mineralisation beyond the known surface expressions of the Jervois deposits. A three-hole drilling program was designed to test the Kylie Prospect in September 2026. The first two holes have been completed with the final hole underway. Assay results will be announced as they come available. Figure 1. Horizontal slice of the joint magnetic imagery guided MT and gravity inversion model at 0.0 mRL (approximately 350 m below surface). Resistivity is displayed using the colour scale, while inverted density is represented by contour lines. Purple triangles denote MT sounding stations, and black lines indicate structural interpretations derived from magnetic data. Several anomalies have been identified within Jervois Tenement (EL25429): Area 1 is positioned directly over the F3/J-Fold axis, Area 2 defines a distinct parallel trend to Bellbird, Area 3 forms an offset parallel trend to Rockface, and Kylie prospect aligns closely with the Reward South trend. Kylie Prospect

Page 7 of 13 Figure 2. Kylie Prospect KJCD687 hole completed and the final hole planned in red and the integrated joint inversion model represents resistivity. Geophysics The integrated 3D modelling utilised a cross-gradient approach to promote structural similarity between the gravity, magnetic and MT datasets. This approach integrates three key physical rock properties: density, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity, enabling the identification of potential mineralised zones. The resulting models successfully delineate known mineralisation at Jervois and demonstrate strong correlations with existing geological data. The MT survey crew was active on site during the quarter, collecting MT data across the Jervois Project area. The survey is expanding the spatial coverage of the existing MT dataset to better align with the coverage of the gravity and magnetic datasets, while also infilling previously identified areas of interest with additional, more closely spaced stations. In addition, vertical magnetic field data are being collected for the 2015 3D MT survey dataset to enhance the existing geophysical coverage. These data will support the reprocessing and updating of the integrated 3D geophysical inversion models across the broader Jervois and Unca Creek tenements. The expanded dataset is expected to improve regional geological interpretation, refine existing exploration targets and assist in identifying additional exploration opportunities across both tenements.

Page 9 of 13 KGL has no project debt and copper production remains fully leveraged to the copper price. Board and governance On 28 August 2026, KGL appointed Gerard Hutchinson as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Mr Hutchinson brings more than 15 years of Board experience and extensive senior finance, governance and executive experience across engineering and infrastructure businesses. KGL also established: • an Audit & Risk Committee, chaired by Mr Hutchinson; and • a Remuneration Committee, chaired by Independent Non-Executive Director Lindi Deguara. The appointment and new committees strengthen KGL’s governance framework as the Company advances Jervois through development and construction. Post-quarter end - Wheaton Early Deposit completed On October 6, KGL received the second US$16 million payment from Wheaton Precious Metals, completing the US$32 million Early Deposit under the Precious Metals Purchase Agreement. A further US$243 million remains available in four construction-linked tranches, subject to applicable conditions, together with a US$25 million contingent cost-overrun facility, while KGL’s copper production remains fully unencumbered. S&P/ASX All Ordinaries inclusion During September, KGL was included in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index, effective 21 September 2026, representing KGL’s entry into an S&P/ASX index, and reflecting the Company’s increased market profile as its Jervois Copper project became fully funded 8 to deliver first concentrate in H1 2028. The Copper Market Copper price remained elevated year on year where during the July to September 2026 quarter. COMEX futures peaked at an all-time record of US$6.89/lb and the LME hit an intraday high of US$14,858 per metric tonne. Over the period LME cash settlements increased from US$13,617 to US$14,740 per metric tonne (8% increase). The Copper price used in the Jervois Baseline Economic Model was US$13,362 per metric tonne 9. The market saw elevated volatility over the period, key factors influencing market sentiment included US tariff uncertainty, severe mine disruption of Chilean production, DRC ban on concentrate exports and constrained supply of sulphuric acid, whilst the longer-term structural demands forecasts continue to outpace mine output. 8 Subject to satisfaction of Conditions Precedent detailed in ASX Announcement: “US$300mill agreement Ag and Au Streaming with Wheaton”, 2 April 2026. 9 ASX Announcement: “Baseline Economic Model Confirms Attractive Economics”, 24 April 2026.
