ASX Announcement

KGL Resources Limited (ASX:KGL) (“ KGL ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a Precious Metals Purchase Agreement totalling US$300 million (the “ PMPA ” or “ Streaming Arrangement ”) with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (together, “ Wheaton ”). The PMPA will, in part, fund construction and development of the Jervois Copper Project in the Northern Territory, Australia (the “ Project ”).

The funding provides US$275 million Stream Upfront Consideration and US$25million contingent cost overrun (the “ Cost Overrun Facility” or “ COF”). The US$275 million will be provided as;

  • US$32 million available prior to any construction expenditure (the “Early Deposit” ); and

  • US$243 million available in four tranches following achievement of certain construction expenditure milestones (the “Remaining Deposit” )

Key Terms of the PMPA are provided in Appendix 1.

With the necessary development and mining permits in place, the PMPA represents a major step forward towards development of the Project, positioning KGL to become the next meaningful Australian copper producer. This is Wheaton’s first streaming transaction in Australia and follows Wheaton's entry into a streaming agreement in respect of BHP's portion of the Antamina mine, announced in February 2026.

Highlights

  • KGL’s copper production remains unencumbered, with full exposure to the tightening copper market.

  • The transaction recognises the value of silver and gold.

  • This US dollar funding package is secured against US dollar revenue that effectively provides risk mitigation.

  • • The PMPA benefits from an absence of traditional fixed repayment obligations and project financing-style financial covenants, substantially de-risking the Project, especially during commissioning and ramp-up.

  • The Early Deposit will be immediately available upon the satisfaction of customary conditions to progress Project construction.

  • The PMPA applies only to the Jervois tenements and not to any other tenements held by KGL (i.e. it excludes the Unca Creek tenement).

Next Steps

KGL is in the process of finalising the scope and cost of the process plant construction contract, updating the production schedule, providing for price escalation (where applicable) and incorporating changes resulting from movements in commodity prices. KGL expects its review of these items (which remains ongoing) to result in changes to the technical and economic framework for Project delivery, as set out in the 2025 Feasibility Study Update (announced 10 February 2025) (" 2025 FSU "). Specifically, KGL expects both overall Project capital costs and revenue forecasts to increase. KGL's expects to be able to provide an update by May 2026. Any such update (including its content) is subject to the final outcomes of the ongoing review and KGL board approval.

KGL remains in active dialogue with global traders and off-takers as well as other capital providers and arrangers to finalise the full funding of the Project. In addition to the PMPA, Wheaton has committed to participate in any future equity raise by KGL in connection with funding the Jervois mine, for the lesser of up to (i) AU$35 million and (ii) that number of new shares representing 20% of the shares offered under the equity raise, where such equity raise is completed by the first anniversary of the date of the PMPA, at KGL's election and on commercial terms to be agreed (provided that Wheaton's interest in the Company shall not exceed 9.9%).

“We are delighted to secure this significant capital commitment from a leading global precious metals streaming company as a major cornerstone partner in our financing strategy for the Jervois Project.

“This partnership with Wheaton is the culmination of a significant amount of work and collaboration by KGL, our advisors and the Wheaton team. This is an exciting and significant milestone for KGL which supports the next phases of advancing the Jervois project towards production. The near-term availability of the Early Deposit ensures we can maintain our development schedule, and we are now on the cusp of breaking ground on Australia’s next major copper mine.”
