ASX Announcement: 28 October 2025 Quarterly Activities Report ASX: NMT neometals. com.au 3/13 UPSTREAM EXPLORATION PROJECTS Barrambie Gold Project (Neometals 100%) Background The Barrambie Gold Project is highly prospective for gold mineralisation and is located within Neometals’ 505 square kilometre tenure, which contains approximately 40km strike of Greenstone Belt. Minimal gold exploration has occurred since the 1980s with Neometals only commencing gold exploration activities in the second half of 2024. Figure 1 – Plan showing favourable location of Barrambie Gold Project relative to other gold producers and developers in the Murchison region The potential for high -tenor gold mineralisation is demonstrated by several historic mining sites, with an average production grade of 24.8g/t 5, and based on historic drill data, a gold Exploration Target for the Barrambie Project has been estimated at between 8Mt at 1.3g/t Au and 10.5Mt at 2.3g/t Au, for 335k and 5 For full details refer to Neometals’ ASX announcement dated 23 September 2024 “Barrambie Gold Exploration Target”.

While the Company reported a 13,000 ounce Au Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) in respect of the Ironclad deposit6, this did not result in any modifications to the gold Exploration Target for the Barrambie. Neometals considers the Barrambie Gold Project to have the potential to host multiple gold occurrences and has resumed gold exploration for the first time in over 20 years, with a view to advanc ing and growing existing and new targets. Activity Summary During the quarter, the results of 760m diamond drilling (completed at the Ironclad deposit and at the Mystery prospect in the previous quarter) were announced1. Figure 2 below shows the location of the seven diamond holes drilled at the Ironclad deposit and significant drill intercepts. Figure 2 – Ironclad deposit plan view showing geology, location of 2025 Ironclad Inferred MRE6 and 2025 diamond drilling collars with significant intercepts1. Note: Reported significant intercepts are inclusive of core loss (C/L) at a grade of 0.0g/t. 6 For full details refer to Neometals ASX announcement dated 25 June 2025 “Barrambie Gold Mineral Resource Estimate” CAUTIONARY STATEMENT- EXPLORATION TARGET The Competent Person cautions that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature and insufficient gold exploration has been undertaken to support estimation of a gold Mineral Resource for the Barrambie Project (notwith standing the initial Ironclad Inferred MRE 2) and that there is no certainty that future exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Competent Person further cautions that exploration data relied on for this Exploration Target is based on activity undertaken by previous historical operators and have not or may not have been previously reported under the JORC Code or any of its prece dents and the Competent Person considers that these data are indicative and not absolute measures of the presence of gold mineralisation.

ASX Announcement: 28 October 2025 Quarterly Activities Report ASX: NMT neometals. com.au 5/13 All objectives of the drilling were achieved, that is: to verify higher-grade zones and to gain new knowledge regarding the nature of mineralisation, key structural associations and controls within the Ironclad Inferred MRE. At the Mystery prospect, the ob jective was to verify the continuation of mineralisation below underground workings as indicated by sparse historic drilling. Also announced were the h istorical assay data for 61 reverse circulation (“ RC”) drill holes at the Ironclad deposit which were sourced from archives of previously unreported internal company documents, adding 2,271 gold assays to the project dataset.2 This is a valuable and material addition, equivalent to an increase of approximately 25% of the number of holes and assays in the Ironclad dataset and will be extremely helpful in informing future MRE updates and continued Mineral Resource extension drilling. Figure 3 illustrates the location of additional historic assays. Figure 3 - Ironclad deposit plan view showing geology, location of 2025 Ironclad Inferred MRE6 and location of drill holes with additional historic assay data. Further, a Mining Lease application was lodged over the Ironclad deposit, advertised and is currently in Native Title negotiation process. Metallurgical test work and waste rock characterisation has also commenced. Next steps for the Barrambie Project include completion of 8,300m RC drilling which is currently underway7. The scope of the current programme includes: • An Initial programme at the Golden Treasure historic high-grade gold mine which produced 15,326 ounces at 29.4 g/t Au5; • Testing of mineralisation along the Barrambie Ranges gold trend; • Further testing of the Mystery gold trend, f ollowing-up recent drill results below the historic mine (10.2m at 2.72g/t Au from 83.3m, including 1.45m at 8.97g/t Au 1) and; 7For full details refer to Neometals’ ASX announcement dated 8 October 2025 “Exploration Update - Drilling Commences at Barrambie Ranges”.

Figure 4 – Indicative timeline for Barrambie Gold Project8 Barrambie Titanium and Vanadium Project (“Ti-V Project”) (Neometals 100%) Background The Barrambie Ti-V Project is adjacent to and shares the same tenure as the Barrambie Gold Project , located approximately 80km north -west of Sandstone in Western Australia . It hosts one of the largest vanadiferous titanomagnetite (“VTM”) Mineral Resource estimates globally (280.1 Mt at 9.18% TiO 2 and 0.44% V2O5), containing the world’s second highest grade hard rock titanium Mineral Resource Estimate (53.6Mt at 21.17% TiO2 and 0.63% V2O5).9 Activity Summary Discussions continued in relation to the divestment of the Barrambie Ti-V Project. 8 The indicative schedule is subject to change and is dependent on approvals, funding, permitting, development outcomes and mar ket conditions. Actual outcomes may differ materially from those indicated. 9 For full details refer to Neometals ASX announcement dated 17 April 2018 “Updated Barrambie Mineral Resource Estimate” For personal use only

ELi has potentially significantly lower operating cost and carbon footprint compared to conventional production processes, replacing costly, bulk chemical reagents with electricity and low -cost internally generated reagents. RAM holds twenty-one (21) granted national phase patents with a further thirteen (13) pending. Figure 5 – Schematic flowsheet of patented ELi Process™ Activity Summary During the quarter, RAM and Rio Tinto (via Livent USA Corp.) held initial planning meetings in Perth, attended by Rio Tinto’s teams from the US, Australia, and Argentina. These discussions were conducted under the objectives of the existing non -binding Memorandum of Understanding announced in June 2025 between RAM and Rio Tinto, which aims to facilitate collaborative efforts to advance optimisation test work and process design criteria for a potential pilot or demonstration plant with the broader aim of industrially validating the ELi Process™. RAM is presently awaiting Rio Tinto’s advice on its selection of brine for the planned optimisation test work. In addition , RAM continues to advance discussions with potential ecosystem partners in relation to the provision of technical and equipment support, as well as prospective licensees .

A pilot trial and feasibility study indicated the potential for lowest-quartile operating costs 10 and low carbon-footprint, utilising conventional equipment at atmospheric pressure, mild temperatures and standard construction materials. Avanti Materials Ltd (100% NMT), the intellectual property holding company, has seven (7) national phase patents pending. Activity Summary During the quarter RISAB continued the project financing process for equity and debt , with a number of parties in the VRP1 data room. Figure 6 – Schematic View of the proposed VRP1 Plant at Tahkoluoto Port, Pori, Finland Lithium-ion Battery Recycling (Intellectual Property via ACN 630 - NMT 50%, SMS 50%) (Plant supply via Primobius - NMT 50%, SMS 50%) Commercial During the quarter, Neometals completed the sale of its interests in Primobius and ACN 630 to SMS in consideration for the payment of €5 million (A$8.8 million) cash plus an ongoing commercial compensation fee representing 2% of Primobius’ annual revenues determined for each fiscal year from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2037 and capped at €7 million (indexed to inflation) (c. A$12.5 million11). The transaction enables Neometals to redeploy capital to other opportunities which are believed to be more net value accretive for Neometals’ shareholders. 10 For full details refer to Neometals ASX announcement titled “Vanadium Recovery Project Delivers Strong Feasibility Results” r eleased on 8 March 2023. 11 Reserve Bank of Australia 0.5602 AUD:EUR exchange rate, 6th August 2025.
