Copper Market Outlook
Hillgrove is well-positioned as supply tightens

Copper Concentrate Supply, Demand, & LME
Price Forecast

Recent major discoveries tiny vs. older deposits
(Top 5 discoveries per year group)
Bubble size correspond to total copper in discoveries.
- Very few new copper discoveries – long development time frame
- Existing mines trending higher cost and lower grade
- Reserve replacement running below depletion
- Demand is increasing, supported by ongoing investment in electrification, grid infrastructure, and the rapid build-out of data centres
- Structural deficits emerging
- Hillgrove’s copper concentrate is directly exposed to the tightening copper market and includes gold and silver credits

Mutooroo Copper Development Project Farm-In¹

High-grade copper growth option unlocked by Hillgrove’s infrastructure advantage
- Hillgrove’s Kanmantoo processing facility provides a potential lower capital intensity and lower execution risk pathway to develop Mutooroo’s 192kt of Cu from the JORC Sulphide Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE);
- Subject to further test work and the outcomes of the PFS, Hillgrove believes Mutooroo has the potential to lift Hillgrove’s Cu production beyond 20kt per annum
- PFS expenditure is phased to mitigate material risks, fully funded from Hillgrove’s cashflow
- The partnership provides the potential to bring Mutooroo into production and generate positive cashflow with a logical, experienced partner, for minimal capital outlay on Havilah’s part
- Established JORC Sulphide Mineral Resource Estimate of 12.5Mt at 1.53% Cu and 0.20 g/t Au comprising 195kt of Cu and 82koz of Au
-
Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, highlighting strong potential for resource extensions
-
Refer ASX release on 21 May 2026 titled “Hillgrove and Havilah Enter Mutooroo Partnership”.

Mutooroo Transaction Overview¹
Phased earn-in aligns spend with confidence
Farm-In Arrangements
- Conditional on the renewal of Exploration Licence (EL) 6592 on terms reasonably acceptable to Hillgrove, up-front consideration of $5 million payable in Hillgrove fully paid ordinary shares (and one attaching unlisted option per share issued) which are to be issued by Hillgrove using its current available placement capacity
- Hillgrove will invest up to $10 million including a commitment to 5,000m of drilling for resource definition, over an earn-in period of up to 24 months to be spent in two phases:
- Phase 1: approximately $2 million focused on rail logistics and metallurgical test work;
- Phase 2: balance of PFS expenditure, contingent on the success of Phase 1.
Joint Venture Agreement
- Hillgrove to earn an 80% interest in Mutooroo upon Final Investment Decision (FID), at Hillgrove’s election, includes:
- Payment of Stage 2 consideration of $35 million comprised of cash between 30% to 70% (at Hillgrove’s election), with the balance in Hillgrove fully paid ordinary shares.
- The Stage 2 consideration and transfer of an 80% interest in Mutooroo are subject to satisfaction of the customary conditions outlined in the Transaction Overview section.
- A Tolling and Marketing Agreement for the processing of Mutooroo ore at Hillgrove’s Kanmantoo processing facility, currently in draft form, will be finalised once the PFS is completed.

Notes:
1. Dry metric tonnes.
2. Stope cut-off grade 0.8% CuEq (Copper Equivalent) to define development limits, 0.6% CuEq for stopes along defined development. Development cut-off grade 0.4% Copper.
3. Approximately 40,000 tonnes of Measured Mineral Resource has been converted to Probable Ore Reserves. The tonnes are in Nugent Mine Area and are contained in a region with high water inflows from intercepting diamond drill holes. Further work is required to determine a strategy to profitably mine these tonnes.
4. Reported Ore Reserves do not include any diluting inferred or Unclassified material. The mine schedule includes 277kt at 0.2% Cu of non-Reserving material that is mined as unavoidable dilution.
5. Reported grades are rounded to two decimal places, copper equivalent to one decimal place. Tonnes are rounded to two significant figures. Minimum stoping widths of 5m true width.
6. Reported grades are rounded to two decimal places. Tonnes are rounded to two significant figures.
7. Any minor apparent discrepancies for sums in the table are due to rounding.
8. The period of economic extraction is from July 2025 to April 2028.
9. Ore Reserves are converted from Mineral Resources based on October 2025 Mineral Resources, reported herewith.
10. Competent Person: Mark Hamilton MAusIMM (#221080).
11. Over 18 months of mining actual demonstrates very good ground conditions. It is expected that this will continue, with Geotech modelling demonstrating stability over modelled life of mine.
CuEq calculation takes into account all material cost drivers that differentiate value derived from copper and gold, expressed as copper grade in-situ. Drivers applied are concentrator recoveries, metal payability and metal prices. Silver (Ag) is not included in CuEq calculation due to immaterial value contribution. The following formula is used to calculate CuEq: CuEq = Cu% + (Au g/t / 31.1034 x Au Rec x Au Pay x Au Price) / Cu Pay / Cu Price / Cu Rec. Driving values used for 2025 ORE: Metal prices: Cu Price = US$3.85/lb, Au Price = US$3,000/Oz. Metallurgical recoveries: Cu Rec = 94.5%, Au Rec = 55% Payability: Cu Pay = 95%, Au Pay = 90%. It is Hillgrove's view that all metals within this formula will be recovered and sold. Metallurgical recoveries are based on current plant performance. Metal payability is based on current concentrate quality and contracted marketing terms.
