Develop has also entered into a binding Co-operation Agreement with Trafigura which provides the ability for both parties to collaborate together on future opportunities.

Develop Managing Director Bill Beament said:

"These agreements are transformational for Develop, setting us up to have three projects producing highly sought-after metals in tier-one locations.

"With these funding and binding offtake agreements in place, the growth outlook for our cash generation is now exceptional.

"Woodlawn is now operating at steady-state production rates and we have already completed significant construction work and underground development at Sulphur Springs.

"As a result, we are on track for first concentrate production at Sulphur Springs in the June 2028 quarter.

"Pioneer Dome is a compelling opportunity to generate significant free cash flow following a capital-light, fast-to-market DSO pathway. We have fast-tracked development to take advantage of this current market opportunity.

"The commercial terms we have secured across our offtake agreements are highly favourable and reflect how tight global base metal concentrate and lithium supply chains are right now.

"At the same time, it is expected that our collaboration arrangements with Trafigura will immerse us in their strong deal flow, which will give us exposure to a vast number of potential acquisition and development opportunities.

"This will see us combine Trafigura's extensive global network with our talented technical and operational team, enabling us to assess and consider value-creating opportunities".

Trafigura's Global Head of Metals and Minerals Gonzalo De Olazaval said:

"Two years after backing Develop's first project Woodlawn we are delighted to see this relationship reach a new milestone with this US$350 million financing facility which enables Develop to take Final Investment Decisions on two further critical minerals projects in Australia — a defining moment as they grow from a single producing asset into a miner that will soon have three producing assets across a diversified basket of metals. This transaction exemplifies what Trafigura does best: working alongside strong management teams and leveraging our financial strength and market expertise to help bring the critical industrial and battery metals the world needs to market."

LOAN FACILITY

Loan Facility Overview

Develop is pleased to announce it has entered into a US$350 million (approximately A$500 million³) senior secured debt facility ('Loan Facility') with Trafigura, one of the world's leading commodity traders. Proceeds of the Loan Facility will be used to fund development of the Sulphur Springs Copper-Silver-Zinc project, development of the Pioneer Dome Lithium project and refinancing of the existing Woodlawn loan facility. Further details of the Loan Facility are set out in Appendix A and the table below.

Warrants

The financing package also includes the issue of approximately 7.78 million warrants to Trafigura ('Warrants'), exercisable at A$9.12 per share, representing a 50% premium to Develop's 20-day VWAP of A$6.08 per share⁴. The Warrants are issued upon first drawdown of the Loan Facility, carry a five-year expiry from issue date and are non-transferable (Appendix B). They will be issued within Develop's existing placement capacity under ASX listing rule 7.1. If exercised in full, the Warrants would provide Develop with additional cash proceeds of US$50 million (approximately A$70 million⁵), resulting in a 2.2% fully diluted interest in Develop.

The addition of the Warrants reflects the depth of Trafigura's strategic collaboration with Develop and aligns their interests with Develop shareholders over the long-term.

Product Offtake Agreements

The Loan Facility has been structured alongside two new offtake agreements with Trafigura, providing Develop with an integrated financing and marketing solution across its entire portfolio of Australian assets. The new offtake agreements cover Sulphur Springs Copper and Zinc concentrates (Appendix C) and Pioneer Dome lithium DSO (Appendix D). The existing Woodlawn Copper, Zinc and Lead concentrate offtake agreement has been amended as part of the transaction (Appendix E), with terms updated to reflect current market conditions.

SULPHUR SPRINGS PROJECT

Develop's Board has approved a Final Investment Decision ('FID') for development of the Sulphur Springs Copper-Silver-Zinc project, committing A$450 million capital expenditure to advance the project through construction and into production. This decision follows the completion of an Updated Definitive Feasibility Study in October 2025⁶ ('Updated DFS') and the successful execution of pre-FID underground development and early works and reflects the Board's confidence in the quality of the Project and its potential to deliver superior returns for Develop's shareholders.

Project Overview

The Sulphur Springs Copper-Silver-Zinc Project is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 110 kilometres south-east of Port Hedland. Develop (previously Venturex Resources Limited) acquired 100% ownership of the project in 2010. The project hosts a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit containing copper, silver and zinc mineralisation.

Develop completed the Updated DFS in October 2025, which included declaration of an Ore Reserve of 8.8 Mt at 5.4% Zn, 1.1% Cu, 0.2% Pb, 21 g/t Ag and 0.1 g/t Au. The Updated DFS contemplated underground mining and treatment through a process plant at a nameplate capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum to produce separate copper-silver and zinc concentrates for sale under an offtake agreement. The key physical parameters included in the Updated DFS, and on which FID is based, are summarised in the table below. The material assumptions underlying these physical parameters are summarised in Develop's announcement entitled "Updated DFS on Sulphur Springs – Substantial Value Uplift", dated 9 October 2025. These assumptions continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Concentrates Offtake

Develop has executed an offtake agreement with Trafigura for sale of 100% of the zinc and copper concentrate produced at Sulphur Springs (excluding any amounts to be sold to Toho under separate offtake arrangements between Develop and Toho Zinc Co. Ltd.)8 for a minimum of 1,250,000 tonnes delivered on a CIF China basis (Appendix C). Pricing is determined to market standard treatment charges, payability and deduction terms. The minimum delivery represents approximately seven years of forecast production.

Capital Cost Estimate

The estimated pre-production capital expenditure for Sulphur Springs is A$450 million based on updated cost estimates effective June 2026 and reflecting all capital expenditure required to achieve first production. It comprises:

  • A$390 million in direct costs covering construction of the process plant, underground mine development, tailings storage facility, roads, surface facilities and infrastructure required to deliver first production
  • A$22 million in indirect costs, including engineering, procurement and construction management fees
  • A$18 million in owners' costs, covering Develop's project team, permitting, insurance and legal costs during construction.
  • A$20 million in contingency, representing 5% of total direct costs.

The capital cost estimate has been prepared based on a Front-End Engineering Design Study ('FEED Study') completed by GR Engineering Services Limited in May 2026, reflecting an accuracy range of -15% to +15%. The FEED Study capital cost estimate supersedes the capital cost estimate of A$329 million contained in the Updated DFS. The escalation in the capital cost estimate from the Updated DFS has been driven by cost refinement, inflationary pressures and minor scope changes to the Project.

Develop's Board previously approved pre-FID expenditure for early works at Sulphur Springs of which approximately A$41 million has been invested up to 31 May 2026. This investment has allowed Develop to accelerate construction progress critical path activities including procurement of long-lead items (ball mill, concentrate filter presses, electrical infrastructure), site establishment, bulk earthworks, box cut construction and development of the twin declines.

Project Economics & Financing Strategy

The Sulphur Springs Project presents a robust investment case across a range of commodity price scenarios, delivering strong returns which underpin the Board's decision to commit capital and proceed with the FID. Key

Pre-tax NPV₈ of Free Cash Flow Firm A$921 million A$811 million
Pre-Tax IRR 59% 37%
Payback Period of Capital Expenditure 35 months ~23 months

The Company's investment in the Sulphur Springs Project will be funded from a combination of drawing on the Loan Facility, Develop's strong balance sheet (A$130 million cash as of 31 March 2026¹²) and, if required, positive cashflows generated from Woodlawn and Pioneer Dome operations and the Mining Services division.

Timeline & Execution Plan

Construction of the Process Plant is expected to be delivered under a fixed-price, lump-sum EPC contract, with GR Engineering Services chosen as the preferred contractor. Underground development and production over the Life of Mine will be undertaken on an owner-operator basis by Develop Mining Services. Key construction milestones are set out in the table below.

Sulphur Springs Key Milestones Target Date
Procurement of remaining Long-lead Items June 2026 Quarter
Award of Major Contracts June to September 2026 Quarter
EPC Contractor GR Engineering Services Mobilisation September 2026 Quarter
Process Plant Cold Commissioning March 2028 Quarter
First Saleable Concentrate Production June 2028 Quarter

Early works completed to date include identification and procurement of long lead items (ball mill, concentrate filters, electrical infrastructure) which are currently in transit to site. Surface works are advancing, with site establishment and box cut constructions complete. Bulk earthworks and construction of the site access/haul road has commenced. Underground development is continuing in parallel, with approximately 2,050 metres of lateral development in the twin declines completed to date, which is 26% above the FY26 budget schedule.

Project readiness workstreams are advancing in parallel with construction activity, including appointment of key management personnel, negotiation of power supply and site services agreements, finalisation of concentrate haulage and logistics arrangements to Port Hedland.

PIONEER DOME PROJECT

Develop's Board has also approved a Final Investment Decision for development of the Pioneer Dome Lithium Project as a Direct Shipping Ore ('DSO') operation, committing A$40 million capital expenditure to bring the project into production in the December 2026 quarter. Development of Pioneer Dome via the DSO pathway enables Develop to begin extracting value from a fully permitted and shovel ready asset, taking advantage of a timely lithium market opportunity to generate significant free cash flow.

Project Overview

The Pioneer Dome Project is located in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 130km south of Kalgoorlie and 270km north of Esperance. Develop acquired 100% of the project in 2023 following its takeover of Essential Metals Limited¹³. The project contains multiple outcropping pegmatite orebodies containing lithium mineralisation.

In May 2024, Develop published a Scoping Study¹⁴ on the Pioneer Dome Project, outlining a production target of 8.1 Mt at 1.2% Li₂O from open pit and underground mines. Following recent improvements in lithium prices, Develop commenced internal workstreams in the March 2026 quarter to evaluate the near-term development of Pioneer Dome via a DSO sales route.

Develop's Board has now approved FID for Stage I of the Pioneer Dome Project, which contemplates production of 850,000 tonnes of DSO ('DSO Production Target') through open pit mining of the Cade deposit over a 12-month period, with DSO product sales commencing in the December 2026 quarter.

DSO will be crushed and transported approximately 270km to the Port of Esperance for export. The DSO Production Target is underpinned entirely by Mineral Resources. Of the total DSO Production Target, approximately 94% is classified in the Indicated Mineral Resource category and 6% in the Inferred category.

There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the 6% of the Production Target itself will be realised. There is no unclassified material included in the DSO Production Target.

Pioneer Dome Stage I Physicals
Direct Shipping Ore Mined 850,000 tonnes
Direct Shipping Ore Production Rate ~70,000 tonnes per month
Direct Shipping Ore Product Grade ~1.2% Li₂O
Waste Mined ~4.8 Million tonnes
Average Strip Ratio ~6.5 to 1.0

Further development of the Cade deposit via underground mining ('Stage II') will be evaluated in the March 2027 quarter, with a development decision subject to prevailing lithium market conditions at that point in time. Planning for Stage II is well advanced.

Spodumene DSO Offtake

The DSO product will be sold on a CIF China basis through an offtake agreement with Trafigura for a minimum of 750,000 tonnes (Appendix D). Under the offtake agreement, DSO pricing is calculated using a floating price formula linked to Lithium Carbonate prices, lithium grade of the DSO product, lithium recovered from the DSO product to a spodumene concentrate and lithium grade of the spodumene concentrate.

The DSO offtake includes a floor price applicable to no longer than the first 2 months of deliveries up to a cap of 150,000 tonnes of DSO for an initial period of the offtake.¹⁵ This offtake structure provides Develop with full upside participation in lithium prices and downside protection through the floor price. Furthermore, under the offtake agreement, Develop has pricing optionality which will allow Develop to effectively manage price exposure through forward sales at its election.

Project Economics & Financing Strategy

The Pioneer Dome Stage I estimated pre-production capital expenditure is A$40 million and is expected to deliver attractive returns to the Company, including a forecast payback within approximately two months from first DSO sale. Key financial outcomes for Stage I of the Project are summarised below.

Pioneer Dome Stage I Financial Outcomes
Stage I Pre-Production Capital Expenditure for Development A$40 million
Average Lithium Carbonate Price over Stage I US$26,000/t CIF China
AUD:USD Exchange Rate 0.70
Implied Average DSO Price over Stage I US$339/t DSO CIF China
Average Operating Cost^{16} A$206/t DSO
Royalties A$41/t DSO
Stage I Pre-tax Free Cash Flow to Firm A$201 million
Stage I Pre-Tax IRR 55%
Stage I Payback Period of Capital Expenditure ~2 Months from first DSO sale

Develop intends to fund the A$40 million Stage I pre-production capital expenditure for development of the Pioneer Dome project through drawing on the Trafigura Loan Facility and existing cash reserves.

Timeline & Execution Plan

Develop's dedicated owners' team are rapidly advancing project execution activities following the positive FID. Key project execution milestones are summarised below.

Pioneer Dome Key Milestones Target Date
Award of Mining, Crushing & Haulage Contracts June 2026 Quarter
Site Establishment & Contractor Mobilisation September 2026 Quarter
Open Pit Mining Commences September 2026 Quarter
DSO Production Commences & First DSO Product Sale December 2026 Quarter

WOODLAWN PROJECT

Develop has refinanced the existing Trafigura debt facility at Woodlawn¹⁷, securing an 18-month grace period for debt repayments. Full details of the amended offtake terms are set out in Appendix E.

STRATEGIC COLLABORATION WITH TRAFIGURA

Develop has entered into a strategic collaboration with Trafigura, one of the world's leading commodity trading and logistics companies. The collaboration pairs Develop's operating capability with Trafigura's balance sheet, market intelligence and offtake platform.

Both Develop and Trafigura are aligned commercially, with Trafigura collaborating with Develop as financier, offtaker and equity holder via warrants, ensuring their interests are linked to Develop's long-term success. Through this relationship, Develop considers it is now positioned to accelerate its growth strategy and create value for shareholders.

Develop has entered into a binding Co-operation Agreement with Trafigura, under which the parties may collaborate on future acquisition opportunities including financing and offtake arrangements.
