CEO Statement

It has been an eventful period for Viscaria, during which we have taken several important steps towards realising our vision of reopening the Viscaria mine. We have strengthened our financial platform, continued to develop operations, and recent market conditions for copper further confirm our strategy.

Shortly after the end of the quarter, we took a very important step by signing a mandate letter with Societe Generale and ING – two of Europe's most experienced mining financiers. The mandate covers a structured project financing package of up to approximately SEK 3.9 billion, including a cost overrun facility, and is the result of an extensive market sounding process with strong international interest. Our goal is to finalise the financing during the first half of 2026.

Thanks to the news about the debt financing, we were soon able to carry out a directed share issue of approximately SEK 800 million, with participation from both existing and new institutional investors. Among the new investors are, among others, the Third Swedish National Pension Fund (AP3) and Unionen. We are very grateful for the continued confidence from our existing shareholders and pleased to welcome new long-term owners who share our vision. Several investors have also expressed their intention to participate in the planned rights issue, which further strengthens our financial platform ahead of reopening the Viscaria mine.

Meanwhile, operations have continued to progress at a rapid pace. The inauguration of the water treatment plant in October marked an important milestone. The facility, expected to reach full operation at the beginning of 2026, ensures compliance with stringent environmental standards and supports long-term sustainable development in the region. With a capacity of 1,000 m³ per hour, it sets a new benchmark that exceeds both Swedish and international environmental requirements. Work on dams, infrastructure, and logistics has also proceeded according to plan, and we have strengthened the organisation in preparation for upcoming ground and construction work.

Exploration activities have also intensified. The focus has been on the area near the mine, where so-called step-out drilling has confirmed further extensions of mineralisation beyond the current resource. Three drill rigs are currently in operation, and work will continue during the current quarter. The geology team has also completed an extensive mapping programme in the southern exploration permit areas, aimed at refining geological interpretations and identifying new target zones. As a direct follow-up, a high-resolution magnetic drone survey has been initiated, which is expected to be completed during the current quarter.

The global copper market continues to validate our strategic direction. During the quarter, the shortage of copper concentrate deepened, partly due to production disruptions at major mines such as Grasberg in Indonesia. This contributed to rising copper prices, further underscoring the need for new, stable suppliers in Europe. With an environmental permit that has gained legal force, a skilled team, a clear path forward, and secured financing, Viscaria is well positioned to take on that role – as a leading European supplier of responsibly produced copper.

Jörgen Olsson, CEO Viscaria

Development of operations during the period

Market

The market for copper concentrates remained strained during the third quarter of 2025, with falling treatment charges (TC) and refining charges (RC) on the spot market, which is favorable for Viscaria. Additional production disruptions occurred at mines during the quarter, the most serious being a mudslide at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the world's second-largest copper mine. Industry analysts now estimate that the copper concentrate market will be in deficit for the remainder of 2025 and throughout 2026. The shortage of copper concentrate is also reflected in the copper metal market. The tight conditions in both the copper concentrate and copper metal markets led to a significant increase in the copper price during the latter part of the quarter.

Environmental permit and land allocation

In order to resume mining operations at Viscaria, a permit under the Environmental Code for mining and water operations (environmental permit) is required. On April 16, 2025, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal regarding Viscaria's environmental permit, which was originally granted on May 6, 2024, meaning the permit can no longer be appealed and thus gained legal force.

In addition, a land allocation (markanvisning) is required. The land allocation was initially granted by the Chief Mining Inspector on June 29, 2023. On December 6, 2024, the land allocation in favour of the mining concessions Viscaria K no. 3, Viscaria K no. 4, and Viscaria K no. 7 in Kiruna municipality gained legal force. All necessary permits have thus gained legal force.

Geology

Viscaria - Step-out drilling confirmed further mineralisation extensions

Since the publication of Viscaria's updated Mineral Resource Estimate in May this year, which outlined significant resource growth with higher copper grades, exploration drilling continued into the third quarter. The focus remained mostly in the near-mine setting, with step-out drilling confirming further extensions to the mineralisation, beyond the current resource boundaries. There are currently three drill rigs in operation on the Viscaria site, with exploration drilling planned to continue throughout the remaining fourth quarter.

The geology team has also been busy in the field, recently completing a detailed summer mapping program in Viscaria's southern exploration permit areas. The aim of this field campaign was to integrate new geological and structural observations in order to refine existing interpretations and to outline target areas for future exploration work. As an immediate follow-up, a high-resolution drone magnetic survey across the area has been initiated and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter.

In late October 2025, Viscaria's geologists attended the Fennoscandian Exploration and Mining (FEM) conference in Finland. Marcello Imaña, Chief Geologist, was invited to present an update regarding the recent exploration success and improved geological understanding of the Viscaria deposit and its upside potential.

Arvidsjaur

Total Mineral Resources in the Arvidsjaur project area (consisting of the Eva, Svartliden and Granliden deposits) currently amount to 34 Mt of copper-, zinc-, gold-, and silver-enriched rock, which have been reviewed and approved by a Competent Person in accordance with PERC standards. In recent years, exploration drilling and extensive geophysical investigations have outlined a significant potential to discover further mineralisation across the property and at depth beneath the existing resources, which could have implications for the lifetime and economics of the future mining project in the area.

Processing

Work on the project is progressing at a high pace. Design and planning have continued and intensified across several disciplines. At the same time, the organisation has been strengthened and prepared for the groundwork that began during the summer and will expand in scope during the autumn as construction work commences. In parallel, continued testing has been carried out to fine-tune and ensure the quality of the process flow diagram, which is a natural part of the process as drilling continues in the ore zones.

Infrastructure

The construction of the dams continued over the summer with good progress, thanks to both an experienced organisation and very favourable weather conditions, with almost no rainfall. Excavation of the clarification basin is 50 per cent complete, the repair works on the cuttings are also 50 per cent finished, and the support fill on the downstream side of the existing sand reservoir has been fully completed. Foundation work on the north-eastern side for the new sand reservoir is 80 per cent complete. Work on the dams will be paused as planned during October and will resume in the spring. In June, a connection agreement for a permanent power supply of 45 MW was signed with Vattenfall Eldistribution. Viscaria is currently in discussions with contractors who may build Vattenfall's substation during 2026.

The water treatment plant, WTP 1000, was inaugurated as planned on 22 October. The plant is currently operating at limited capacity (250 m³/hour), with full capacity expected to be reached at the beginning of 2026.

Project Site Phase 2, which includes a new entrance gate with an updated access control system, fencing of the operational area, groundwork for the power supply, expansion of the project offices with two new modules, and other related works, was ongoing during the period and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.

Logistics

The construction of the railway yard is facilitated by using surplus materials from the dam project for the railway substructure and as a support fill for the existing sand reservoir instead of being taken to landfill. Viscaria has agreed to take over the earthworks for the Swedish Transport Administration's switch road from the Ore Line (Malmbanan) in order to reduce the cost and meet the schedule with connection in week 24, 2026. This meant that Viscaria needed to start the design of the entire railway yard ahead of time. Used sleepers (4,100 pieces) for the railway yard were taken from the track change between Kiruna and Gällivare at freight cost.

Mine

The work to refine the mine design and optimise the production plans continued during the quarter. A number of recruitments were made to be able to start rehab and re-strengthening of the old mine's infrastructure. Recruitment will continue as the team still needs to be strengthened ahead of upcoming work. At the same time, extensive purchasing work is underway with the aim of securing resources and material for the emptying phase and reopening of the mine. A feasibility study has been started to compare potential future transport systems.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Viscaria's operations

Viscaria is committed to genuine sustainability work. Therefore, it is required that the business is planned and implemented with solutions that provide good conditions for minimising the negative impact on the environment. When the Viscaria mine is commissioned, Viscaria will be one of the most climate-efficient copper mines in the world and thus be able to deliver sustainable and responsibly produced copper to the European market.

The company has made commitments in the environmental permit process with far-reaching purification processes, which means that all the effluent water will be purified to very low levels of pollutants during the lowering of water from the old mine as well as the new mine area. The waste rock deposits, which normally largely affect the landscape, will be designed and laid out with geomorphological design. This means that the landscape, which is initially significantly affected by mining operations, will be able to return to natural conditions more quickly after the end of mining operations.

Viscaria conducts sustainability work that includes seven focus areas with associated goals. The focus areas are based on the principles of ICMM (International Council on Mining & Metals), Svemin's guidelines, TSM Protocols (Towards Sustainable Mining), the UN's Agenda 2030 and the UN Global Compact. In addition, the results of stakeholder dialogues and external analysis have been considered. The focus areas will guide our sustainability work in the coming years. Follow-up and reporting of the sustainability goals will continue in 2025.

The company has identified a number of critical issues to work on, and a timetable has been drawn up for further work, which also includes the completion of the sustainability policy. The purpose is to further strengthen and clarify goals and requirements for the business, both before the restart of the mine and when the company is in production.

Outlook

Viscaria's financial position is solid, with a cash position of approximately SEK 317 million at the end of September 2025. The Board of Directors' assessment is that Viscaria will be able to use long-term interest-bearing debt of up to 60 percent for future financing of the mine and enrichment plant. The shareholder loans agreed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025, along with an intention to offset the loan amounts against shares in a future new share issue, shows great confidence from Viscaria's largest shareholders. In October 2025, the company raised approximately SEK 800 million through a directed share issue, which is intended to be followed by a rights issue of around SEK 700 million. The combined proceeds will primarily be used for essential investments in infrastructure, the processing plant, mine dewatering and mine rehabilitation, as well as provisions for remediation. The target for completing the next capital raise – a structured debt-based project financing package of up to approximately SEK 3.9 billion – is the second quarter of 2026.

The company's budget and base scenario form the basis for liquidity planning. The capital requirement is continuously analysed, and the company maintains close control to ensure that upcoming investments are aligned with available liquidity, thereby securing liquidity for the next 12 months.

Copper prices have risen in recent years, albeit with some increased volatility due to recent global uncertainty. Short-term fluctuations in copper prices and exchange rates are not expected to affect the company in the current preparatory phase. The copper price on the London Metal Exchange has increased by just over 50 percent over the past five years. From a longer-term perspective, there remains a significant demand gap for copper. In addition, Viscaria benefits from the trend towards more locally produced minerals, as well as a from the long-term increase in demand from future European customers. In the medium to long term, the demand for responsibly produced copper within the EU is expected to increase further.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Mineral exploration is a high-risk activity where only a few of the evaluated projects lead to producing mines. The exploration results are continuously evaluated by the company and there is no guarantee that exploration of mineralisation will lead to commercial production in Kiruna, Arvidsjaur or Smedjebacken. There is no guarantee that the company will be able to generate sufficient funds to finance continued operations. Failure by the company to generate funds at the right time may result in postponed investigations, reduced, or terminated operations. A more detailed description of the company's risks and uncertainties can be found in the Annual Report for 2024. The Board of Directors believes that the progress made since the Viscaria acquisition was made in 2019 and the intensified development of the project in recent times have significantly reduced the risks.

Auditor's report

Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria 556704-4168

Introduction

We have conducted a limited review of the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria as of September 30, 2025, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The board of directors and the managing director are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited review.

The focus and scope of the limited review

We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A limited review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, performing analytical procedures, and other review procedures. A limited review has a different focus and a significantly smaller scope compared to the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The review procedures taken in a limited review do not enable us to obtain the assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a limited review does not have the assurance that a conclusion expressed based on an audit has.

Conclusion

Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Notes

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annu-al Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board RFR 1 and for the Parent Company, RFR 2. The same accounting principles and calculation methods were used in the 2024 annual report.

Key estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events considered reasonable under current circumstances. For a more detailed description of key estimates and assumptions, see Note 2 in the Group Annual Report 2024.

New and amended standards applied by the Group

The new and amended standards with application for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025, have not had any material impact on the group's financial statements.

Segment

The Board of Directors evaluates the Group's operations based on the Group as a whole, and therefore identifies an operating segment, i.e. exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. Operations are conducted in Sweden. The Group's main operations are conducted in the subsidiary Viscaria Kiruna AB.

New and amended standards that are not yet applied by the Group

A number of new accounting standards and interpretations come into effect for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2025, and thereafter, and have not been applied in the preparation of this financial report.

The Group has issued warrants to the Board of Directors, senior executives, and key employees. Fair value has been paid for the warrants, and the premium is reported as retained earnings. The holder can only receive shares upon redemption. Upon exercise of warrants, the exercise price will be reported against equity.

Rounding differences may accur in the financial tables due to the use of standard rounding conventions. For a more detailed description of the accounting and valuation principles applied to the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company in this interim report, see the Annual Report 2024.
