Accordingly, to the full extent permitted by law, neither the Company nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees or advisers take any responsibility for, or will accept any liability whether direct or indirect, express or implied, contractual, tortious, statutory or otherwise, in respect of, the accuracy or completeness of the Information or for any of the opinions contained in this Presentation or for any errors, omissions or misstatements or for any loss, howsoever arising, from the use of this Presentation.
This Presentation may include certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this Presentation, other than statements of historical facts, that address future activities and events or developments that the Company expects, are forwardlooking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The Company, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees or advisers, do not represent, warrant or guarantee, expressly or impliedly, that the information in this Presentation is complete or accurate. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims any responsibility to inform any recipient of this Presentation of any matter that subsequently comes to its notice which may affect any of the information contained in this Presentation. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. DEVELOP assumes no obligation to update such information.

This Presentation has been prepared in compliance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition. The 'forward-looking information' contained here is based on the Company's expectations, estimates and projections as of the date on which the statements were made. The Company disclaims any intent or obligations to update or revise any forward looking statements whether as a result of new information, estimates or options, future events or results or otherwise, unless required to do so by law. The Production Target (and the forward looking financial information based on that Production Target) contained in the DFS includes material classified as Ore Reserves and Inferred Resources. Material classified as Ore Reserves contributes ~68% of the material within the LOM Production Target and Inferred Resources contribute ~32% of material included within the LOM Production Target. The mine plan has been sequenced to ensure that the reliance on material contributed from Inferred Resources is minimised within the first 5 years and the Company is satisfied that the proportion of Inferred Resources is not a determining factor for project viability. Nonetheless, the Company notes there is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Resources or that the LOM Production Target insofar as it relates to the Inferred Resources will be realised.

DEVELOP PRODUCING POTENTIAL DEVELOP.COM.AU
WOODLAWN – ZINC/COPPER

- Acquired the mine in NSW, Feb-22 for A\$30m upfront and A\$70m in success-driven milestone payments
- Combined with rapidly emerging Sulphur Springs it will transform the Company into a major base metals group centered on clean facing metals in tier-one locations
- Prior owners invested ~A\$340m in the operation; constructing a new box-cut, establishing an underground mine, a 1.0Mtpa processing plant and extensive surface infrastructure
- Woodlawn meets all Develop's strategic and key asset criteria:
- ✓ Clean future-facing metals (zinc and copper) in a Tier-1 location
- ✓ World-class geology: VMS system, strong and profitable historic production, significant potential to grow the inventory
- ✓ Outstanding value for money: Purchase price upfront is <10% of the previously invested capital
- The mine had a profitable 20-year production record, producing 13.8Mt at 19.7% ZnEq1


IN-MINE GROWTH POTENTIAL
- Substantial high-grade Resource of 7.3Mt at 13.2%ZnEq1 (ASX release 02 Aug-22)
- Massive opportunity to investigate the Remanent Resource geological models
- Known high-grade lenses remain open
- Significant potential for extensions of these lenses and for discovery of additional lenses
- Initial emphasis is aimed at converting Inferred Resources to Indicated, extending the mineralised lenses at depth/along strike and drill-testing recentlyidentified EM conductors
- To optimise drilling from underground an 800m drilling platform is under construction
- Have established an exceptional team for the development and drilling phase of the project
- Drilling to commence in the December quarter

1.The zinc equivalent grades for Woodlawn (Zn Eq) are based on copper, silver, lead and zinc prices of US\$9620/t Copper, US\$2224/t Lead, US\$3956/t Zinc, US\$22.8/oz Silver and US\$1877/oz Gold with metallurgical metal recoveries of 88% Zn, 70% Pb, 70% Cu, 33% Au and 82% Ag based on historical recoveries at Woodlawn and supported by metallurgical test work undertaken. The zinc equivalent calculation is as follows: Zn Eq = Zn grade% * Zn recovery + ((Pb grade % * Pb recovery % * (Pb price \$/t/ Zn price\$/t)) + (Cu grade % *Cu recovery % * (Cu price \$/t/ Zn price \$/t)) + (Ag grade g/t /31.103 * Ag recovery % * (Ag price \$/oz/ Zn price \$/t)) + (Au grade g/t /31.103 * Ag recovery % * (Au price \$/oz/ Zn price \$/t)) and are reported on 100% Basis. It is the opinion of Develop Global and the Competent Person that all elements and products included in the metal equivalent formula have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
-
The NSR has been calculated using metal pricing, recoveries and other payability assumptions detailed in 'Cut-off parameters' in Section 3 of the attached JORC Code Table 1. It is Entech's opinion that all metals used in the NSR calculation have reasonable potential to be extracted, recovered and sold. Tonnages are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding. 1. A NSR of \$100 was used for mineralisation in unmined (virgin) areas.
-
A NSR of \$140 was used for previously mined (remnant) areas, which reflects higher associated costs for mining and metal recovery these areas. Minable Stope Optimisation (MSO) shapes were applied to areas of remanent mineralisation.
