Norfolk Ciclón Copper Project – Transaction Update
• Norfolk acquisition of the Ciclón Copper Project extended via SPA Extension agreement with Pampa
Camarones SpA.
• Ciclón is situated within the prolific Domeyko Cordillera hosting the giant copper deposits including
Collahuasi, Chuquicamata, La Escondida and others. Ciclón is located in proximity to the
substantial El Salvador copper mine (CODELCO) and Franke copper mine (Minera Las Cenizas).
• Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 2012) of 11.8Mt at 2.88% CuEq for the Ciclón Copper Project.1
• Ciclón offers outstanding exploration upside potential being central to an extensive district scale
mineralised epithermal and related mineralised porphyry system.
• Ciclón received an Environmental Qualification Resolution in December 2025, approving
underground mining operations, processing plant and supporting infrastructure.
• Transaction is conditional on (amongst other things) Norfolk raising a minimum of AUD $75 million
under a public offer through the issue of ordinary fully paid shares (before costs) pursuant to a
Prospectus to fund acquisition and exploration.
• The Public Offer will be lead managed by Petra Capital, with Beacon Securities and JP Equity
Partners acting as Co-Managers.
• Transaction close and reinstatement subject to the Company satisfying ASX conditions of
reinstatement.
Norfolk Metals Limited (Norfolk or the Company) refers to its announcement dated 11 June 2026 regarding its
proposed re-compliance transaction, including a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the acquisition of 100% of
Eco Earth Elements SpA (EEE) and Don Gabriel SpA (DG), which together own or have an option to acquire 100%
of the Ciclón Copper Project in Chile (Project).
The total consideration under the SPA is USD $50 million, consisting of USD $45 million in cash (Cash
Consideration) and USD $5 million in Norfolk Metals shares, subject to various conditions precedent.
As announced on 27 July 2026, in accordance with the SPA, Norfolk paid an extension fee of USD $250,000 to
extend the date that the conditions precedent must be satisfied or waived by 2 months (End Date). The Company
paid a further extension fee of USD $150,000 on 11 September 2026 and has agreed with Pampa Camarones to
vary the SPA, including:
• extending the End Date to 31 December 2026; and
• reducing the condition precedent to obtain minimum binding investment commitments for the re-
compliance capital raising (Capital Raising) to AUD $75 million (previously AUD $100 million).
All extension fees paid to date are non-refundable and, if completion occurs, will be credited against the Cash
Consideration.
Completion of the transaction is expected to occur following the Capital Raising and re-listing process on the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), which is intended to fund the resource expansion and future development
of the Project among other things.

The Company intends to lodge a prospectus in the coming weeks in connection with the proposed Capital Raising
and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. An updated indicative timetable will be included
in the prospectus.
As detailed in the Company’s announcement dated 11 June 2026, EEE and DG held certain options under Ciclón
Option Agreement #1 and #2 (as defined in that announcement) to acquire mining concessions from Compañía
Minera Fénix. Norfolk procured the payment of USD $1,286,439 and these options were exercised by EEE and DG
on or about 11 September 2026 and the relevant concessions are to be transferred to EEE and DG, which Norfolk
will acquire on completion of the SPA.
The Company has entered into a loan agreement with Anthina Nominees Pty Ltd (Anthina), an entity controlled by
Mr Anthony McClure (Anthina Loan Agreement), under which Anthina has provided the Company with an
unsecured loan facility to assist with operational costs and working capital. As the date of this announcement, the
current amount drawn under the Anthina Loan Agreement is A$1,905,903.
Interest accrues on the outstanding balance at 8% per annum and is capitalised monthly. The loan and accrued
interest is repayable in cash on the earlier of completion of the Capital Raising or 15 October 2027.
The Anthina Loan Agreement otherwise contains representations, undertakings and events of default (non-
payment, breach and insolvency) that are standard for an agreement of this nature.
Annual report
The Company has not yet lodged its annual report (including its audited financial report) for the year ended 30 June
2026, and expects to do so by 23 October 2026.
Continuous disclosure
The Company confirms that it is in compliance with Listing Rule 3.1 and has remained in compliance with Listing
Rule 3.1 at all times.

• Exploradora Prospect: Metal Equivalents:
Metal equivalents have been reported in respect of mineral resources for the Exploradora Prospect based on the following
parameters:
Cut-off grade Exploradora CuEq% = 0.8%
Formula:
CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + Zn (%) *0.25180 +Pb(%)*0.13489 +Ag(ppm)*0.01660 +Au(ppm) *0.61955
ZnEq(%) = Cu(%)*3.971 + Zn (%) +Pb(%)*0.536 +Ag(ppm)*0.066 +Au(ppm) *2.461
AgEq(ppm) =Cu(%)*60.256 + Zn (%) *15.172 +Pb(%)*8.128 +Ag(ppm) +Au(ppm) *37.332
Assumed commodity prices: Copper (Cu) US$12,000/t; Zinc (Zn) US$3,000/t; Lead (Pb) US$1,800/t, Silver (Ag) US$70/ozt; Gold
(Au) US$3,000/ozt.
Assumed metallurgical recoveries: Copper (Cu) 97.3%; Zinc (Zn) 98.0%; Lead (Pb) 87.50%; Silver (Ag) 86.1%; Gold (Au) 75%.
The metallurgical recoveries used in the metal equivalent calculations are the average metallurgical recoveries determined
through preliminary metallurgical test work undertaken at the Ciclón and Exploradora Prospects. A program of 7 rougher
metallurgical tests has been completed at a conceptual engineering stage level (Ciclón = 4, Exploradora = 3). Sample pulp
material (70% passing 2mm) was utilised for one test, with the remainder using crushed drill samples (85% passing 75 microns).
It is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be
recovered and sold.
Please refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 19 June 2026 for full details regarding the Ciclón Project
Mineral Resource Estimate.
