HARTS RANGE PROJECT
DISCOVERY OF NEW PROSPECT - OLD TRAFFORD
On 24 July 2025, NFM announced the geology team had identified additional high
priority targets for drill-testing at the Harts Range Project. Assay results
from the June 2025 field program confirmed a new drill target and new prospect
- Old Trafford - located ~320m west of the mineralised Westminster Prospect.
This new prospect, along with the mineralised prospects - Cusp and Bobs,
Paddington and Westminster - occur within an east-west trending structural
corridor now extending over 2.4km (Figure 1).

The geology team commenced ongoing fieldwork during the month of June 2025 to
further identify prospects and targets for drilling across previously untested
areas within the mineralised east-west trending structural corridor. Utilising
the airborne geophysical radiometric imagery, the team identified further
targets and extensions of Heavy Rare Earths, Niobium and Uranium
mineralisation at the newly identified Old Trafford Prospect (Table1). The
Old Trafford prospect extends mineralisation a further 320m west of the
Westminster Prospect.
Additional rock chip samples (namely HRS064) from the Westminster Prospect
returned significant assay results and validated Westminster as a priority
target for drilling (Table 1).

Bank Copper Prospect
North of Cusp, the Bank Prospect has identified copper mineralisation
(malachite) in foliated gneissic rocks. The outcropping unit is discontinuous
and seen to trend a north-south orientation and is noted to outcrop adjacent
to a creek-bed over 200m away. Numerous rock chip samples from the exposed
outcrops have returned anomalous copper assay results (Table 2).

HRS058 0.99%
HRS059 0.23%
HRS061 0.99%
HRS062 2.72%

Further validation may require the use of ground geophysics including IP or EM
surveys to further validate and prioritise targets at depth for drilling at
the Bank Prospect.
Geophysical Target
The recent airborne geophysical survey identified a local magnetic anomaly at
the Kings Cross Prospect which is located to the south of the project area
(Figure 2). Twelve rock chip samples (HSR033 - HSR044) were collected along
the east-west structure, which appears to the north of the magnetic anomaly.
FIGURE 2: MAGNETIC FEATURE IDENTIFIED AT THE KINGS CROSS PROSPECT
Source: Southern Geoscience Consultants
Sample HRS035 displays the most notable geochemical anomalism, particularly in
Light Rare Earth Elements (LREEs), with elevated values in CeO(2) (196 ppm),
La(2)O(3) (111.9 ppm), Nd(2)O(3) (86.7 ppm), Pr(6)O(11) (24.4 ppm), and
Sm(2)O(3) (16.1 ppm). The results suggest a localised enrichment of LREEs
relative to surrounding samples, which exhibit only modest background levels.
While no high-grade or economically significant concentrations were present,
the clustering of elevated LREEs in HRS035 warrants further exploration and
follow-up sampling to investigate potential mineralised trends.
Again, further validation may require the use of ground geophysics to further
validate and prioritise the geophysical target for drilling at the Kings Cross
Prospect.
BULK SAMPLE & NEW PROSPECT
On 13 August 2025, NFM announced that a 25kg bulk sample was collected from
the Cusp Prospect which was submitted to Intertek for comprehensive analysis.
Additionally, assay results from the July 2025 field program have confirmed
a new drill target at the Headingley Prospect, located ~620m west of the
mineralised Bobs Prospect.
Bulk Sample Collected from Cusp Prospect
The 25 kg bulk sample was collected from the Cusp Prospect. Specifically, the
sample was taken from the outcrop which comprised of clustered fragments of
mineralised pegmatite containing samarskite (enriched in heavy rare earths,
niobium, and tantalum) which were readily identifiable by weight and colour,
enabling efficient bulk sample collection.
Previous surface sampling (HRS004) at the Cusp Prospect has returned
high-grade heavy rare earth mineralisation, with assays from earlier campaigns
reporting grades up to 9.97% TREO (including 1.13% Dy(2)O(3), 0.18%
Tb(4)O(7)), 25.46% Nb(2)O(5) and 4.77% Ta(2)O(5) (Figure 3).

Discovery of New Drill Target at Headingley Prospect
Assay results from the July 2025 field campaign identified additional heavy
rare earth and titanium mineralisation, extending the mineralised corridor
along strike from the Cusp, Bobs, Paddington, Westminster and Old Trafford
Prospects.
Analysis of the geochemical results from the newly identified Headingley
Prospect (Figure 4) have confirmed the occurrence of rare earth and titanium
mineralisation within a 2.3km mineralised corridor extending along strike from
the Cusp, Bobs, Paddington, Westminster, and Old Trafford prospects. Notable
results include HRS067, which returned 0.73% TREO, incorporating 0.031%
Dy₂O₃ and 0.006% Tb₄O₇, and HRS068 and HRS071, which recorded titanium
grades of 1.8% TiO₂ and 2.3% TiO₂ respectively.

BULK SAMPLE ASSAYS & AND EXCEPTIONAL HREO/TREO RATIO
On 25 August 2025, NFM announced that bulk sample assay results were returned,
with a notably high HREO/TREO ratio confirming the dominance of heavy rare
earths.
Bulk Sample Collected from Cusp Prospect
The 25kg bulk sample collected from the Cusp Prospect was taken from outcrop
which comprised mineralised pegmatite containing samarskite that were
identifiable by weight and colour (and subsequently laboratory assays),
enabling efficient bulk sample collection.
Analysis of the bulk sample assays from the Cusp Prospect confirm grades of
1.72% TREO, with a heavy rare earth distribution exceeding 94%, and highlights
exceptional niobium (4.51% Nb₂O₅) and tantalum (0.91% Ta₂O₅)
enrichment (Table 3).

The rare earth sample distribution from the Cusp bulk sample is consistently
enriched in dysprosium (11.23%, Dy(2)O(3)) and terbium (1.86%, Tb(4)O(7)),
with a rare earth basket that comprises over 94.8% heavy rare earth minerals
(Figure 5). The combined dysprosium and terbium distribution at the Cusp
Prospect makes up 13.09% of the TREO basket mix.

GEODRILL APPOINTED AS DRILLING CONTRACTOR
On 11 September 2025, GeoDrill Australia was appointed to undertake the maiden
RC drilling campaign at the Harts Range Project. GeoDrill is a well-regarded,
family-owned drilling contractor based in Queensland, with a strong track
record of servicing exploration projects across Australia. Notably, it is
recognised for an outstanding safety record, professional culture, and
advanced capabilities across exploration, geotechnical, and water drilling.
In parallel, NFM engaged MBS Environmental to complete a desktop flora and
fauna assessment for the Harts Range Project. All required environmental and
regulatory documentation was lodged with the Northern Territory Mines
Department, with final approvals to commence drilling pending.
NWQ COPPER PROJECT
On 3 July 2025, NFM announced highly encouraging preliminary metallurgical
results from bulk samples collected from legacy stockpiles at the Big One
Deposit, part of the NWQ Copper Project located in north-west Queensland.
A total of 12 composite samples collected from three ex-mine stockpile sites
were submitted for geochemical analysis and sequential metallurgical leach
testing by NFM at ALS, Mt Isa. Testing focused on determining the leachability
of copper via sulphuric acid and cyanide reagents, simulating standard copper
heap leach and vat leach processing options.
Metallurgical Test Work Overview
Metallurgical test work on 12 composite samples from three historical
copper-bearing stockpiles at the Big One Deposit was completed. These samples,
totalling ~200 kg, were collected from previously mined material located
adjacent to the open pit and represent a range of visually mineralised
lithologies including siltstone, greywacke, sandstone, and altered trachyte
dykes.
The purpose of the program was to assess the leachability of copper under
conventional processing conditions, ahead of a potential fast-track production
scenario in collaboration with Austral Resources via the Mt Kelly Processing
Plant. ALS Mt Isa conducted the test work using a sequential copper assay
suite, targeting total copper, acid-soluble copper, cyanide-soluble copper,
and residual copper fractions.
The metallurgical investigation forms a key part of assessing how well the
mineralised stockpile material aligns with processing conditions at Austral
Resources' Mt Kelly facility (Figure 6).

Key Results
Ø Sulphuric Acid Leach:
Sulphuric acid leaching of the samples that assayed between 3.9% and 11.85%
copper returned significant recoveries ranging from 83.18% to 99.09%, with
over two-thirds of the samples achieving greater than 95% recovery. These
results indicate the copper minerals are predominantly amenable to
conventional acid leaching methods commonly used in heap or vat leach
operations.
Ø Cyanide Leach:
Selected samples (notably 2C and 2D) displayed cyanide-leachable Cu values
above 10%, indicating the presence of copper sulphide minerals, such as
covellite, chalcocite, bornite or potentially native copper. These minerals
are not readily soluble in acid but respond to cyanide leaching, suggesting
that a minor portion of the copper inventory may require alternative or
supplemental recovery methods.
Ø Compatibility with Mt Kelly Processing:
Copper recovery testing suggests that mineralised material from the Big One
stockpiles is highly compatible with the existing processing flowsheet at
Austral Resources' Mt Kelly facility, supporting the potential for streamlined
integration into established infrastructure.
Ø Residual Copper:
Low residual copper concentrations (<1.2%) across most samples suggest
minimal presence of resistate copper minerals (e.g., chalcopyrite or
refractory cupric phases), further supporting efficient copper recovery using
conventional processing pathways.
Low-Cost Development Pathway through Existing Infrastructure
These initial metallurgical results reinforce the suitability of conventional
sulphuric acid leaching for the mineralised stockpile material at the Big One
Deposit. The consistently high copper recovery rates confirm strong alignment
with established hydrometallurgical practices employed at Austral Resources'
Mt Kelly Processing Plant. This positive correlation with Mt Kelly's existing
flowsheet design supports a streamlined development pathway for near-term
production.
Importantly, the test work outcomes are consistent with the strategic
objectives outlined in NFM's Memorandum of Understanding with Austral
Resources, which provides processing optionality via the Mt Kelly facility(1).
This demonstrated compatibility materially reduces barriers to production and
positions NFM to potentially capitalise on existing infrastructure, permitting
channels and operational expertise. The ability to process legacy stockpile
material as a potential starter operation enhances commercial flexibility
while broader exploration and resource growth programs continue across the NWQ
Copper Project.
CORPORATE ACTIVITY
New Corporate Broker
On 13 August 2025, NFM confirmed it had appointment of S.P. Angel Corporate
Finance LLP (SP Angel), a leading UK-based corporate finance firm, as its
Corporate Broker with immediate effect. SP Angel's mandate is to enhance
engagement with UK and European institutional investors, broadening NFM's
