Operations Update

 

Kiln 2 discharge performance continuing to increase, supporting accelerated
ramp-up across Limeco

 

Firering Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: FRG), an emerging producer of
high-quality quick- and hydrated lime, is pleased to provide an operational
update from its Limeco project in Zambia ("Limeco").

 

Youval Rasin, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Firering,
commented: "Kiln 2 discharge is now at over 70 tonnes per day compared to an
average of over 60 tonnes per day a fortnight ago, reflecting solid
operational progress and setting a clear benchmark for the remaining kilns as
we scale production at Limeco."

 

DETAILS

Limeco, the Company's vertically integrated quicklime and hydrated lime
operation in Zambia, continues to advance its production ramp-up and capacity
expansion.

 

Following completion of hot commissioning of Kiln 2 in February 2026 (see RNS
dated 9 February 2026), output is expected to ramp up over an approximate
three-month optimisation period. Accordingly, performance at Kiln 2 continues
to strengthen, with average output now reaching over 70 tonnes per day.

 

This level of performance reflects ongoing process optimisation, establishes a
clear benchmark for the remaining six kilns, and increases confidence in
Limeco's ability to bring additional capacity online efficiently while
delivering consistent, high-quality output.

Notes

Firering Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: FRG) is an Africa-focused producer and
developer of industrial and critical minerals. The Company's near-term focus
is the ramp-up of production at the Limeco project in Zambia, where Firering
holds a 36.2% interest with an option to increase this to 45%. Once fully
optimised, Limeco is expected to be among the largest lime operations in the
region, supplying a range of mining, agricultural and industrial customers.
Firering's portfolio also includes the highly prospective Atex
Lithium-Tantalum Project in northern Côte d'Ivoire.
