To whom it may concern

Nittetsu Mining: Acquisition of the Oracle Ridge Project in USA

Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter “Nittetsu” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, dated April 20, 2026, with Eagle Mountain Mining (Head Office: Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia; hereinafter “EM2”) to participate in the Oracle Ridge Project (the “Project”), a copper exploration venture located in the State of Arizona, U.S.A.

The Company today announced “Notice Concerning the Change in Subsidiary in the United States.” The announcement is also available on the Company’s website. (https://www.nittetsukou.co.jp/eng/)

Outline

The Project is located approximately 40 km northeast of Tucson, the second-largest city in the State of Arizona, U.S.A. (see Figure 1). Under this agreement, a total of USD 20 million will be invested in the Project over four years to obtain environmental permits, conduct drilling exploration, and carry out a feasibility assessment.

Upon payment of the initial expenditure at the time of contract signing, the equity interests in the joint venture company will be 80% held by Nittetsu and 20% held by EM2 holding a 20% stake (see Figure 2). In addition, Nittetsu will hold 100% offtake rights (product purchase rights) for the Project.

Figure 2. Participation Structure

==> picture [204 x 168] intentionally omitted <==

Nittetsu believes that the Project is of a scale well-suited to the Company's financial capacity and development capabilities, and that the Company can leverage its track record and experience in Chile — including over 20 years of copper concentrate production at the Atacama Mine and the development of the Arqueros Mine, scheduled to commence operations in 2026. The establishment of a presence in the United States is also seen as contributing to the growth of the Company's metal resources business by diversifying away from concentration risk in Chile. The pipeline of our overseas resource development is shown in Figure 3.

Fabio Vergara, Executive Director of Eagle Mountain Mining, commented: "The Oracle Ridge Project benefits from existing infrastructure as a previously operated underground mine, and offers the attractive potential for high-grade copper resources. Exploration to date has demonstrated the Project's potential, and we see room for further development. We are very pleased to be partnering with Nittetsu, which has extensive knowledge and experience in mine exploration, development, and operations — this is a significant step forward for our company."

Shinichiro Mita, General Manager of the Overseas Resources Department, commented: "We have long been engaged in mining operations in Japan and Chile, and the Oracle Ridge Project represents our first opportunity to enter the copper mining sector in North America. The Project shares many commonalities with our copper mining operations in Chile, and we aim to leverage our knowledge and experience to advance this asset toward production."

Appendix 2

Over the last 10 months, the Company has implemented a strategy designed to realise value from the Oracle Ridge project in Arizona, USA.

Today the Company announced the signing of binding agreements on essentially the same terms of the nonbinding indicative offer (NBIO) received in November 2025 from Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd (Nittetsu) [5] . Nittetsu will shortly acquire an 80% interest in a joint venture (JV) with Eagle Mountain concerning the Oracle Ridge project. To retain its 80% interest, Nittetsu will contribute the first US$20 million towards all JV expenditures including the cost of exercising the MMV option and extinguishing the Vincere loan.

As announced on 5 November 2025, the Company entered two agreements as follows:

  • An option agreement with Marble Mountain Ventures LLC (MMV) to re-acquire the Oracle Ridge mine[6] including the mine infrastructure and the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 28.2Mt at 1.35% Cu, 11.06g/t Ag and 0.16g/t Au (380,000 tonnes of Cu, 10 Moz of Ag and 142 koz of Au)[7] . The cost of exercising the option is US$1.0 million with the final payment of US$9.0 million due before commencement of commercial production. The JV is in the process of exercising the option.

  • An amendment to the loan agreement with Vincere Resource Holdings LLC (Vincere)[8] to potentially extinguish the current debt of US$7.25 million by repaying US$2.5 million within 12 months. The revised agreement also extended the US$1.5 million repayment due in November 2025 to November 2026. The JV has initiated the US$2.5 million payment to Vincere with the US$7.25 million debt to be extinguished once funds are received by Vincere.

Further details of the agreements are provided below.

Binding Agreements with Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd

The Company has signed binding agreements with Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd (Nittetsu) on essentially the same terms as those in the non-binding indicative offer (NBIO) received in November 2025.

Nittetsu will acquire an 80% interest in a joint venture (JV) with Eagle Mountain relating to the consolidated Oracle Ridge Project (Project) including the Oracle Ridge mine and the Wedgetail Project. To retain its interest, Nittetsu will make contributions totalling US$20 million (~A$28 million at the current exchange rate) over four years. Nittetsu is the manager of the JV with Eagle Mountain free-carried until Nittetsu’s contributions reach US$20 million. At that time, the Company can elect to maintain its 20% interest in the Project by contributing to further JV expenditure or dilute its ownership.

The terms of the transaction are:

  • JV interests of 80% Nittetsu and 20% Eagle Mountain over the consolidated Oracle Ridge Project;

  • 4 year timeframe with provisions for extensions if delays are due to permitting or other non-technical reasons;

  • 100% off-take rights to Nittetsu on arm’s length commercial terms.

Oracle Ridge Mine and Marble Mountain Ventures

Key terms and updated status:

  • The initial payment of US$1.0 million to MMV was paid upon exercise of the option;

  • The obligation to make yearly payments to MMV of US$540,000 delivered quarterly until the Final Payment is discharged has now commenced; and

Outstanding Debt Owing to Vincere Resource Holdings LLC

In November 2025, the Company announced the renegotiation of the loan agreement with Vincere Resource Holdings LLC (Vincere, loan).

Key revised terms and updated status:

  • 12 month right to extinguish the loan by the payment of US$2.5 million (Early Repayment Right), representing a US$4.75 million discount to the current principal amount of US$7.25 million;

  • The 12 months extension is subject to Eagle Mountain entering into a binding option agreement with MMV, the owners of the Oracle Ridge mine, on terms acceptable to Vincere. The option signed with MMV represents a binding option agreement on such terms;

  • The Early Repayment Right is subject to Eagle Mountain entering into a binding agreement with a Third Party regarding exploration and development at the Oracle Ridge Project on terms acceptable to Vincere and including the exercise of the MMV option. The binding agreements which have been signed with Nittetsu represent a binding agreement on such terms; and

  • The Company has entered into a JV with Nittetsu on essentially the same terms as the NBIO; the JV is in the process of exercising the MMV option and of paying US$2.5 million to Vincere. The Vincere loan will be formally extinguished once payment is received by Vincere.
