SHAREHOLDER UPDATE

CAPITAL RAISING AND EXPLORATION PLANS

Conico Ltd ( Conico or the Company ) is pleased to provide the following update to shareholders regarding its capital raising efforts and future plans.

On 6 June 2025, Conico released an announcement to the ASX ( June 2025 Announcement ) confirming it had raised a total of $900,000 through placement of converting loans, which are to be converted to fully paid ordinary shares subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting. Subsequently, the Company has raised a further $495,000 through a converting loan placement on the same terms, raising a total of $1.395 million. See Annexure A for detailed terms of the converting loans.

Funds raised will be applied towards a drilling program at its Mount Thirsty Joint Venture project as outlined below, which is expected to be undertaken in the coming months, as well as for settling the legal dispute in relation to its Greenland projects and to provide working capital. The Company confirms that the funds raised will provide Conico with sufficient working capital for the next 12 months to carry out the exploration activities outlined below and to pay all debts when they are due.

The funds raised from the converting loans (excluding the Company’s rights issue) are expected to be deployed as follows:

As outlined in the June 2025 Announcement, the Company is undertaking a fully underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer to shareholders. to provide further funds to advance its exploration projects ( Entitlement Offer ). Conico advises that the ratio for the entitlement offer will be revised to a 3 for 5 basis to raise approximately $1.23 million (before expenses). The record date for the Entitlement Offer of is 6 November 2025, which will follow a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders on 13 October 2025 ( General Meeting ).

Further, the Company advsies that the lead manager and underwriter for the Entitlement Offer has changed to Templar Corporate Pty Ltd (AFSL 315235). The underwriting agreement with Templar Corporate is on the same terms as detailed in the June 2025 Announcement (Annexure B).

Details of the General Meeting and timetable for the Entitlement Offer are set out below.

Mount Thirsty Joint Venture Project

The Mt Thirsty Co-Ni-Mn-Sc project (figure 1) is situated 16 km north-northwest of Norseman, Western Australia (50% Horizon Minerals, 50% Conico Ltd) and hosts the Mt Thirsty cobaltnickel-manganese-scandium deposit, with a current JORC Resource (CNJ, ASX announcement, 26 April 2023).

Previous drilling at Mt Thirsty in 2022 to 2023, comprising mostly of shallow air core drilling, returned several elevated intersections in excess of 40g/t scandium (CNJ ASX Announcement, 23 January 2023) in an upper zone of nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium (Ni-Co-Mn-Sc).

Exploration over this period also confirmed the presence of a lower and potentially highergrade, Ni-Co-Mn-Sc zone, which is currently outside of the existing resource and supported by historical drilling.

Scandium has the potential to significantly improve the economics of the Mt Thirsty project and this was not taken into consideration in the results of either the 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study or the Scoping Study completed (but not released to ASX) in Q3 2023.

Conico is planning an aircore/reverse circulation drilling program of approximately 20-30 holes to test the extent of the elevated scandium in the oxide zone. This drilling is planned to commence in October 2025 following permitting. The Company will continue to update shareholders. Scandium is a valuable commodity, currently trading at above US$325,000/tonne[1] , and its applications are essential to the continued decarbonisation of the economy.

The Mount Thirsty JV partners also continue to assess development options for the project, opportunities to expand JORC resources as well as potential project funders and offtake partners.
