OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY CONCEPT

A PROGRESSIVE SUSTAINABILITY PHILOSOPHY

DEVELOP is committed to revolutionising underground mining by providing services and solutions that are safe, efficient and sustainable. Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our company values. As a new company we’re currently developing our sustainability strategy, which will define how we integrate environmental and social science into our commercial business model and guide us in our efforts to achieve a neutral or restorative relationship with all key measures of planetary stability.

SUSTAINABILITY DRIVEN DESIGN AND OPERATION

PARTNER OF CHOICE IN A NET ZERO MARKET

INNOVATING FOR POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION

==> picture [308 x 406] intentionally omitted <==

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY FOCUSING ON ACTION

  • Starting from lowest possible impact across all sustainability measures

  • Taking a systems approach to sustainability and regenerative business with focus on driving opportunities and closing loops across our operations, our regions and our value chain (areas beyond our direct control)

  • Intention to close loops between sustainable producers and end customers to strengthen the markets that will recognise and reward truly sustainable development

  • Defining all sustainability risks and impacts early and applying the mitigation hierarchy to avoid, minimise, restore, offset & contribute to net positive outcomes

  • Sustainability-driven decisions from planning to execution to materials traceability to partnership

  • Establishing best practice standards for environmental and social performance from the outset and aligning with most appropriate ESG mining standards

  • Finding new ways to tell our story aligned to the needs of our stakeholders and the audience we’re appealing to

  • A partner of choice in safe, efficient and sustainable mining to maximise commercial upsides in an increasingly ESG-focused marketplace

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

STRATEGY Developing our Sustainability Strategy

==> picture [42 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

DEVELOP is currently working with a leading sustainability consultancy to define our approach to sustainable development. By design, this will be atypical of what we’d see in the market today, and we will continue to engage with investors as we progress.

An innovative approach to test the latest thinking in sustainability that reflects the way we work at DEVELOP

  1. Characterising the current sustainability impacts at our Woodlawn asset, and determining net positive opportunities across our asset, our region and our value chain.

  2. Designing and developing a suite of standards that activate our business and our ways of working.

  3. Optimising our operating structure and model to enable us to be the business we want to be.

  4. Clearly defining our story, our strategy and the pathway forward for ethical, regenerative minerals production that contributes net positive benefits through genuine problem solving and partnership.

Completion end H2 FY24

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

TJIWARL-DEVELOP JV SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

  • DEVELOP and TJIWARL Traditional Owners (TCS) partner in a landmark 50/50 contracting joint venture

  • DEVELOP to act as capacity partner, whilst upskilling TCS to take on sole ownership and management of the enterprises post 36 months

  • First multi-million-dollar contract secured at Bellevue Gold via the run of mine (ROM) pad

WORLD-CLASS UNDERGROUND CAPABILITY

WOODLAWN - LOM

  • The Updated mine plan reflects the fundamentally different development and operational strategy adopted by Develop compared with that which has seen the project fail previously

  • Ore profile significantly improved from previous plans given huge amount of capital that has been developed.

  • Multiple stope working fronts gives optionality and blending capacity when processing polymetallic ores

  • Capital development and production working fronts are now decoupled with decline development, ~200 vertical metres ahead of stoping front for the mine plan

  • Reduced reliance of historic workings to access ore zones, with first 6 years of the mine life underpinned by in-situ material sitting outside of historic areas

32

WOODLAWN PROCESSING

COPPER RECOVERY

Copper “Cu” recovery budget uplift from 60% to an average of 75% is expected; due to:

  1. Reagent dosing regime alterations

  2. Additional depressants (lab testing ongoing) - Automation of dosing to follow metal in feed changes - Water quality improvement by pre-treatment

  3. Favourable Cu:Pb ratios improve Cu separation

  4. Campaign treating Cu only ores can maximise Cu recovery as opposed to blending with Pb/Zn ores

  5. Historic Denehurst operations achieved

    • Average 64.2% for Polymetallic Cu/Pb/Zn Average 84.1% for Cu only
  6. Cu concentrate grade targets reduced from an optimistic 27% to align with the historical 21% achieved by Denehurst

  7. Recent testing at Auralia Metallurgy shows there is potential for further upside with Cu and Zn recoveries

Comprehensive Asset Review

Develop aims to conduct a thorough examination of Essential's assets, operations, and employee requirements.

  • This step involves a meticulous analysis of all aspects, ensuring that all material facts and circumstances are considered.

  • Develop will delve into Essential's data and information in more detail post-implementation of the Scheme .

Pioneer Dome Lithium Project Development

Develop's primary focus is on advancing the Pioneer Dome Lithium Project.

  • Enhancing our understanding of the current Mineral Resource, conducting detailed metallurgical testwork, and carrying out comprehensive development studies.

  • Operational Planning Review - We will scrutinize Essential's study work to identify and implement improvements for optimal project development.

Project Optimization

To achieve the best outcomes for the Pioneer Dome Lithium Project.

  • Key considerations include evaluating whether to proceed with an open pit, underground mine, or a combination of both, and optimizing the deposit accordingly.

  • Early Ore Feed - Reviewing strategies to maximize material recovery for generating initial cash flow.

Geological Enhancement and Resource Classification

Improving the geological understanding and resource classification of the deposit.

  • This step involves a substantial infill drilling program on current resources, enhancing our geological knowledge, and upgrading resource classification.

  • Metallurgical Testing - Undertaking a significant metallurgical testwork program to determine the optimal processing pathway and parameters for the project.

Regulatory Approvals and Compliance

Preparing for the necessary regulatory approvals for project development.

  • Develop will work on the process of obtaining the required regulatory approvals, enabling operational activities to potentially commence in late CY24.

  • Final Development Investment Decision - This decision will still be contingent on the satisfaction of all technical and financial conditions according to Develop's criteria .

SULPHUR SPRINGS UPDATE

==> picture [84 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

A QUALITY PROJECT FOR THE ENERGY REVOLUTION SULPHUR SPRINGS ZINC-COPPER PROJECT

==> picture [39 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

  • The project is a high-grade zinc and copper deposit located in the Tier 1 world-class Pilbara district of Western Australia

  • Prior to 2023 the project development was burdened by inadequate reserves, approvals, strategy to develop open pit first, low commodity prices and the Company’s market capitalisation for equity finance

  • • To solve these issues a A$10m drilling program was completed in 2021

  • • This upgraded the grade of the Resource by 15% and significantly improved the Resource classification, with 90% of the Resource in the indicated category

  • Resource now stands at 17.4Mt @ 5.8% Zn, 1.0% Cu & 21gpt Ag

  • All major project approvals have been granted (Ministerial environmental approval, Mining Proposal and Mine Closure plan)

  • • Ability to fund the project is greatly enhanced by Develop’s balance sheet and cashflow, increased inventory and access to debt funding

A QUALITY PROJECT FOR THE ENERGY REVOLUTION

SULPHUR SPRINGS ZINC-COPPER DFS KEY OUTCOMES

==> picture [38 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

Project Revenue A$2,898 million
Free Cash-Flow(pre-tax real) A$745 million
Pre-Production ProcessingPlant and Infrastructure Capital A$296 million
Pre-Tax NPV5% A$523 million
Internal Rate of Return(pre-tax) 34%
Average Annual Pre-tax Cash flow(excludes capital construction) ~A$147M
  • Pre-tax NPV of A$523M (2018 DFS A$472M)

  • Average annual payable production for years one to four of 80.8kt of zinc metal and 16.4kt of copper metal

  • Life of mine payable metal of 490kt zinc and 83kt copper

  • Only 135kt of zinc is subject to an offtake agreement, no offtake for copper. This makes the project highly desirable for offtake partners

  • • Ore Reserve increased to 8.8Mt at 1.05% copper and 5.6% zinc; Reserves now account for 91% of the material in the DFS

  • New mine plan based on underground mining only and enables the metallurgically-superior material in the Reserve to be mined

  • Project shows very strong economics in a current inflationary market

  • Upfront capital requirement of A$296M including: A$234M for an improved 1.25Mtpa processing plant and other site infrastructure. This includes a paste plant for A$34M that wasn’t in the 2018 DFS

  • • Timing of clean energy transition metals and project timeline enables significant financial leverage from commodity price rises

  • Further opportunities to add value through exploration and increasing plant capacity

  • Currently Kangaroo Caves and Sulphur Springs open pit has not been considered in this evaluation.

Of Woodlawn’s Production Target, 17% is comprised of Exploration Targ et. The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to determine a resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of mineral reso urces or that the production target itself will be realised.

The Company confirms that: a) The form and context of the material in this presentation has not been materially modified from the above previous announcements; b) It is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the previous announcements and that all material assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed; and c) It is uncertain that following further exploration and evaluation that the historical estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code.

The Sulphur Springs MRE is reported at a A$80/t Net Smelter Return (NSR) cut-off and been extracted from the Company’s ASX announcement ‘Sulphur Springs Updated Mineral Resource Estimate’ issued 2 June 2023 (Original Announcement). The Woodlawn MRE is reported at a A$100/t NSR for virgin mineralisation and A$140/t remnant mineralisation and has been extracted from the Company’s ASX announcement “Woodlawn Updated Mineral Resource Estimate” issued 2 August 2022 (Original Announcement).

The zinc equivalent grades for Woodlawn (Zn Eq) are based on copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold prices of US$8330t Copper, US$2160/t Lead, US$2315/t Zinc and US$23.5/oz Silver, and US$1926/oz Gold (price deck based on LME spot as 23/08/2023), with metallurgical metal recoveries of 75% Cu, 67% Pb, 85% Zn, 77% Ag and 50% Au respectively based on historical recoveries at Woodlawn and supported by metallurgical test work undertaken. The zinc equivalent calculation is as follows: Zn Eq = (Cu grade % * Cu recovery % * (Cu price $/t/Zn price $/t)) + ((Pb grade % * Pb recovery % * (Pb price $/t/Zn price$/t)) + ( Zn grade% * Zn recovery) + (Ag grade g/t /31.103 * Ag recovery % * (Ag price $/oz/Zn price $/t)) + (Au grade g/t /31.103 * Au recovery % * (Au price $/oz/Zn price $/t))
