Retirement of Hugh McCullough

Hugh joined the board of Mincon in December 2016 as a Non-Executive Director
and was appointed Chair of the Company in August 2019. During Hugh's years of
service, he has played a crucial role in guiding the Company at board level.
He departs from a Company poised to expand into new technologies and markets,
and his significant contribution has been instrumental in nurturing the
culture within the Group throughout his nine years of service.

Paul Lynch, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, commented: "It has been
a privilege to serve as Non-Executive Director with Hugh as Chair since my
appointment in 2019. He has been a very effective link between the Board and
the Executive. He has also overseen the development of an excellent board and
provided great leadership during his tenure. I would like to thank him
sincerely for all his input, support and guidance since joining."

Joe Purcell, CEO of Mincon, commented: " It has been my pleasure to serve the
Company with Hugh as Chair. He has been a steady and wise counsel for me and
the senior management through some challenging times for Mincon. As we look at
the opportunities in front of us and the effective Board dynamic that has been
fostered, there is no doubt that he has left a positive and lasting
impression. With that in mind I would like to offer my thanks to Hugh as well
as the appreciation of the senior management and the wider Mincon Group for
his years of steadfast service"

Appointment of Frank Heisterkamp

Frank (aged 61 years) brings extensive experience of the global building
materials sector from his +26 years working with CRH plc, the world's largest
provider of building materials solutions.

Frank joined CRH in the United States in 1999 as Vice President Business
Development and throughout his career has held several senior operational and
leadership roles across the US, Europe, China and Brazil. In 2013 Frank became
CRH's Head of Investor Relations and subsequently Director of Capital Markets
& ESG in 2019. Following the successful move of CRH's primary listing to
the New York Stock Exchange in 2023, Frank moved to his current position as
Senior Advisor in the Office of the CEO of CRH in January 2025.

Prior to joining CRH, Frank worked with the Financial Services Group of
Matheson in Dublin.

Hugh McCullough, Chairman of Mincon, commented: "On behalf of the board as a
whole, I am really pleased to welcome Frank to the board of Mincon. I believe
that Frank's wide-ranging experience, both geographical and commercial, will
complement the board's skillset very effectively.  His senior roles with CRH
in China and the US in particular will bring valuable additional knowledge to
the table and will be of great assistance to his board colleagues and to the
Executive.  I am delighted that Frank has agreed to join us.

As to my own retirement, it has been an honour for me to serve on the board of
the Mincon Group for the last nine years.  It has been an exciting period as
we built out our offering across the mining, construction and renewable
sectors.

I would like to thank each of my fellow Non-Executive Board members, past and
present, for their commitment and insight.  I also thank our Executive, Joe,
Tom and Mark for their support and their consistent dedication to the pursuit
of our goal of providing innovative engineering solutions for the mining,
infrastructure and renewable sectors. I also greatly appreciate the
contribution of my colleagues in the wider Mincon community who have helped to
make us the proud Company we are today.

I am very pleased that Paul has agreed to assume the Chair. He has a deep
corporate and commercial background and will be a very effective board leader.
I have every confidence that we have a bright and rewarding future ahead."
