Important Notice and Disclaimers

Cautionary Statement – Preliminary Economic Assessment

The updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") referred to in this presentation is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Ashram Rare Earth & Fluoropar Project ("Ashram" or the "Project"). The PEA is based on low-level technical and economic assessments and has been completed to a level of accuracy of ± 50%. It is not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, nor to provide certainty that the conclusions of the PEA will be realised. Further exploration, technical, and economic studies are required before Mont Royal Resources Limited ("Mont Royal" or the "Company") will be in a position to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case.

Production Target and Mineral Resources

The production target referenced in this presentation is underpinned by approximately 53 Mt of mill feed over a 30-year initial mine life. Of that mill feed, approximately 93% is sourced from Indicated Mineral Resources and approximately 7% from Inferred Mineral Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the conversion of Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources, or that the production target itself will be realised. The mine plan has been sequenced such that Indicated Mineral Resources predominate in the early years of production, with Inferred Mineral Resources weighted towards the later stages of the mine life. The Company is satisfied that the proportion of Inferred Mineral Resources is not the determining factor in project viability. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Funding

To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the PEA, initial capital funding in the order of CAOS1.23 billion (excluding access road, including 30% contingency) will likely be required. There is no certainty that Mont Royal will be able to raise that amount of funding when needed, or that funding will be available on terms that are not dilutive to, or that do not otherwise affect, the value of Mont Royal's existing shares. Mont Royal may pursue other value realisation strategies, including a sale, partial sale, or joint venture of the Project, any of which could materially reduce Mont Royal's proportionate ownership of the Project.

Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Australian securities laws and "forward looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively, forward looking statements). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address circumstances, events, activities or developments that could, may or will occur are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the outcomes, economic metrics, production profile, capital and operating cost estimates, mine life, payback period, NPV, IRR, EBITDA and revenue projections of the PEA; expected commencement and outcomes of the Pre-Fossibility Study (targeted for H2 C72026); the timing and outcomes of permitting, environmental baseline studies and stakeholder engagement; the availability and terms of project funding, including potential refundable Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credits of approximately CAOS342 million incorporated into post-tax cash flows; opportunities relating to fluoropar, niobium, the BO-Zone and downstream value-chain participation; potential government, First Nations and third-party support for road and shared-infrastructure solutions; offtake, joint venture and strategic partnership opportunities; and statements about market and industry trends including rare earth pricing assumptions based on Adamas Intelligence's Rare Earth Pricing Quarterly Outlook (forecast prices applied 2026–2040, with 2040 pricing carried forward).

Forward looking statements involve subjective judgement and analysis and are subject to significant uncertainties, risks, contingencies and assumptions, many of which are outside the control of Mont Royal. These include risks inherent in mine development and production; geological, mining, metallurgical and processing technical risks; the ability to obtain licences, permits and regulators, stock exchange, court and stakeholder approvals; competition for capital, reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; changes in commodity prices (including rare earth oxide, NdPr, DyTb, Yttrium and fluoropar prices), foreign exchange rates and interest rates; events that may disrupt operations or the transportation of mineral products; availability of transportation, power, water and other infrastructure; the ability to secure adequate financing on acceptable terms; and management's ability to anticipate and manage the foregoing factors and risks. Forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "expect", "likely", "propose", "will", "intend", "should", "could", "may", "believe", "forecast", "estimate", "target", "outlook" and "guidance" (including negative or grammatical variations) and other similar expressions.

No representation, warranty, guarantee or assurance, express or implied, is given in relation to any forward looking statement or any underlying assumption. There can be no assurance that forward looking statements will prove accurate, and actual results may differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements and should rely on their own independent enquiries, investigations and advice. Reliance on the information in this presentation is wholly at the reader's own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law and the listing rules of the ASX and TSX-V, Mont Royal and its related bodies corporate, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisers and agents disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in expectations or in the events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Market and Third-Party Data

This presentation uses market data, industry forecasts and projections, including rare earth pricing assumptions sourced from Adamas Intelligence and basket pricing benchmarks for CIF Europe and FoB China as at the dates indicated on the relevant slides. There is no assurance that any forecast contained in third-party reports referred to in this presentation will be achieved. The Company has not independently verified this information.

Competent and Qualified Persons

The production target referred to in this presentation was first reported by the Company on 9 June 2026. The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information derived from the production target in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Exploration results from Ashram referred to in this presentation were first reported in accordance with Listing Rule 5.7 by the Company on 30 September 2025 and 1 October 2025. Exploration results from the Eldor Niobium Project referred to in this presentation were first reported in accordance with Listing Rule 5.7 by the Company on 26 May 2026. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements.

The Mineral Resource Estimate for Ashram was first reported in in the Company's replacement prospectus dated 30 September 2025 and released to ASX on 1 October 2025 (Prospectus). The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information relating to the estimate included in the Prospectus and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimate in the Prospectus continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Resource Estimates

Mineral Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on drilling results, geological interpretation, industry practice and other factors. Estimates that are valid when made may change substantially when new information becomes available. Mineral Resource estimation is an interpretive process and estimates may prove to be inaccurate. The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known until mining takes place and will almost always differ from the assumptions used to develop the estimate.

Risk factors associated with the Project, the Company and an investment in the Company are set out on slides 47 to 50 of this presentation, and forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified by, those risk factors.


ASHRAM PROJECT – UPDATED PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT

"The updated PEA marks a major step forward for the Ashram Project, confirming a large-scale, long-life development with strong underlying economics and a clear pathway to advancement. The study has highlighted Ashram's combination of scale, favourable mineralogy and competitive cost profile, supporting its potential to become a meaningful long-term supplier of rare earth products into Western supply chains. Importantly, we see further upside beyond the base case, including opportunities in fluorspar, resource expansion and downstream partnerships and collaboration.

This is a project that can have a meaningful and long-lived impact on the development of rare earth industries and technologies within Quebec, Canada, North America and Europe.

Our focus now is continuing to work with First Nations and Government agencies on developing infrastructures strategies and on progressing the project into pre-feasibility, advancing permitting and continuing engagement with strategic and offtake partners."

Development Strategy

Unlocking a globally significant rare earths asset

img-23.jpeg

Commence PFS

  • Monazite concentrate @ 30% TREO for offtake or Hydromet feedstock
  • Staged development of the REE Project
  • Develop Hydromet options
  • Work with First Nations, Provincial and Federal Government to secure infrastructure support

img-24.jpeg

Unlock Value from other Commodities

Fluorspar and Niobium

  • World's second largest fluorspar deposit (4.5% fluorspar in REE ore feed)
  • Additional flotation circuit can be added to existing flowsheet to potentially produce a second, value-adding fluorspar product
  • Eldor Niobium Project adjacent to Ashram
  • Northern Lights Project offers potential for lithium, copper and gold

img-25.jpeg

Diversify Downstream

Collaborate and JV with industry to capture additional value along the REO and magnet supply chain

  • Progress opportunities to participate further down the value chain with North American, European and Asian industries
  • Separation – either onsite to produce a refined MREO product for separators or JV and collaboration in new facilities
  • Metalisation – the production of REE metals and alloys through either JV or collaboration
  • Magnets – participate with industry and manufacturers in producing magnetic block or finished products
  • Pursue alternative processing options to Hydromet with emerging technology providers

26
Mont Royal Resources Limited

Multiple Pathways to Enhance PEA Base-Case

Optimise hydromet processing

  • Test work highlights clear optimisation opportunities to be advanced during Pre-Feasibility Study

Mine Plan Extensions + Resource Growth

  • PEA is based on only 25% of current MRE
  • Potential to incorporate higher-value zones not currently included in the mine plan, including the BD-Zone
  • Outstanding exploration upside at Ashram and surrounding properties

Inclusion of fluorspar

  • Globally significant fluorspar endowment within the current Ashram MRE
  • United States and Canada are Net importers of Fluorspar - Ashram has genuine potential to service local markets
  • Previous lab-scale test work has demonstrated ability to produce both Met and Acid grade fluorspar products
  • Dedicated fluorspar circuit to be considered as part of future study workstreams

Downstream and strategic partnership opportunities

  • Potential to produce value-added downstream products through JV’s or industry collaboration – eg rare earth metals, alloys and permanent magnets

Mineral Resource Statement (as at 1 October 2024)

Notes to Mineral Resource Table: Originally reported under CIM/NI 43-101.

  1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they have not demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this MRE are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as Indicated or Measured. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

  2. Resources are presented as undiluted and in-situ for an open-pit scenario and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The constraining pit shell was developed using an overall pit slope of 52°, and the resulting strip ratio is 2.7:1.

  3. Three-dimensional modelling was prepared using Leapfrog Geo v.2023.2.1 with a database of 213 surface drill holes, 6 surface channels and 32,962 samples, of which 117 drill holes and a total of 18,495 assays were used to interpolate the block model mineralised zones.

  4. Resources encompass three REE-bearing zones (A-zone, B-Zone, and Breccia (Classic)), each defined by wireframes. A value of zero grade was applied in cases of core not assayed.

  5. High-grade capping was done on the composited assay data and established on a per-zone basis for each element.

  6. Density values were interpolated using ordinary kriging for four rock types in the geological model, including the three mineralised rock types (A-Zone, B-Zones and Breccia (Classic)), with density averages of 3.08 g/cm³ for A-Zone, 3.00 g/cm³ for B-Zone, 3.05 g/cm³ for Breccia (Classic), and 2.92 g/cm³ for BD-Zone. Surrounding country rock lithologies were given a fixed density value from their range median values: Carbonatites ranging from 2.85 g/cm³ to 2.97 g/cm³, Metavolcanic = 2.84 g/cm³, and Lamprophyre = 2.97 g/cm³. Grade model resource estimation was interpolated from drill hole data using an ordinary kriging interpolation method in a sub-blocked block model using blocks measuring 5 m x 5 m x 5 m in size and sub-blocks down to 1.25 m x 1.25 m x 1.25 m.

  7. The Mineral Resource estimate zero-return cut-off, expressed as a net metal return value, was calculated to be C$154/t, which is based on a three-year annualised average (2021, 2022 and 2023) for the five payable oxides; (US$1.25/kg for La2O3, US$95/kg for Pr2O3, US$95/kg for Nd2O3, US$1,500/kg for Tb2O3, and US$375/kg for Dy2O3), estimated metal recoveries, and operating costs for mining, processing, transportation and G&A. The Mineral Resource reporting cut-off of C$287/t was considered as the base case for the Mineral Resource estimate and is guided by reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction over a reasonable timeframe. The cut-off grade considers a C$US$ exchange rate of 1.30. Metal prices sourced from Adamas Intelligence's Rare Earth Pricing Quarterly Outlook (Q1 2024).

  8. Inferred Mineral Resources are constrained to areas where drill spacing is less than 200 m, and where reasonable geological and grade continuity is shown. Indicated Mineral Resources are constrained to areas where drill spacing is less than 70 m, and where reasonable geological and grade continuity is displayed.

  9. An open pit mining method was considered for the Mineral Resource estimate and a conceptual pit shell to constrain the resources was developed using Hexagon's MinePlan 3D software, Version 16.05.

  10. TREO is the sum of lanthanides (as oxides) + yttrium oxide. NdPr distribution is calculated as (Nd2O3 + Pr2O3) / TREO x 100. TbDy distribution calculated as (Tb2O3 + Dy2O3) / TREO x 100. CaF2 is calculated from fluorine assay using factor of 2.055 (F to CaF2) and assumes all fluorine is contained within the mineral fluorite ('fluorspar').

  11. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes). Metric tonnages have been rounded, and any discrepancies in total amounts are due to rounding errors.

  12. CIM definitions and guidelines (2019) for Mineral Resource Estimates have been followed.

  13. The Qualified Persons are unaware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political or marketing issues or any other relevant issues that could materially affect this Mineral Resource estimate.

47

Risk Factors.

Project, PEA and Resource Risks

A PEA-stage study with material technical and resource uncertainties

PEA accuracy and reliance on preliminary work

The PEA has been prepared to an accuracy of ±50% and is based on low-level technical and economic assessments. It is not sufficient to support Ore Reserves or provide assurance of an economic development case. Actual capital costs, operating costs, recoveries, throughput and schedule may differ materially.

Mineral Resource estimation risk

Mineral Resource estimates are interpretive and may change materially as new drilling, geological and metallurgical information becomes available. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Inferred Mineral Resource risk

Approximately 7% of the 53 Mt mill feed underpinning the production target is sourced from Inferred Mineral Resources, which carry a low level of geological confidence. There is no certainty that further work will convert Inferred to Indicated Resources, or that the production target will be realised.

Production target realisation

Achievement of the 30-year production target, “17,466 tpa REO”, “4,035 tpa NdPr”, “100 tpa DyTb” and “230 tpa Y” depends on numerous assumptions, including ramp-up performance, recoveries, grade, dilution, equipment availability and concentrate specifications, any of which may not be achieved.

Metallurgical and process risk

The flotation and hydrometallurgical flowsheet (including acid bake, water leach, solvent extraction and oxalate precipitation) has been validated at lab and pilot scale only. Commercial-scale recovery, MREC quality, radionuclide control and reagent consumption may differ from assumptions used in the PEA.

Mine plan and pit risk

Geotechnical, hydrogeological, blasting, dilution and ore-loss outcomes may differ from those assumed. The strip ratio, tailings storage facility design and waste characterisation are based on preliminary work and may change at PFS or DFS stage.


48

Risk Factors.

Funding, Development and Operational Risks

Capital intensity, schedule and execution risks inherent to a major REE development

Funding risk and dilution

Initial capital of approximately CAD$1.23 billion (excluding access road, including 30% contingency) will likely be required to deliver the Project. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise that funding when needed, or on non-dilutive terms. Alternative funding pathways — including project finance, strategic partnerships, offtake-linked financing, government grants or a sale, partial sale or joint venture — may materially reduce the Company's proportionate ownership of the Project.

CTM ITC and government support risk

The PEA incorporates an estimated ~CAD$342M of refundable Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credits in post-tax cash flows, and assumes potential federal/provincial or shared-infrastructure support for the access road. There is no certainty that the Company will qualify for, or receive, any such credits, grants (including the NRCan CMIF road-study grant) or infrastructure support, or that the quantum or timing assumed will be achieved.

Schedule and execution risk

The Project is at PEA stage; PFS, DFS, FID, permitting, financing, engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning are subject to delay, cost overrun and scope change. The H2 CY2026 PFS commencement target is indicative only.

Infrastructure and logistics risk

The Project relies on access road, power, water, accommodation, port and airport infrastructure (including the proposed ~300 km Southern Access Route to Schefferville, Schefferville rail spur, and Port of Sept-Îles). Delivery, ownership, timing and cost of this infrastructure depend on third parties, including Federal and Provincial Governments and First Nations communities.

Hydromet site (Saguenay) risk

Establishment of the hydrometallurgical facility in Saguenay depends on land tenure, permitting, power supply, reagent supply, water rights, tailings management and community acceptance, none of which is assured.

Climate, weather and operational risk

Operations are located in a remote sub-Arctic environment with seasonal access, extreme weather, ground conditions and logistics constraints that may disrupt construction or operations.


49

Risk Factors.

Market, Commodity and Counterparty Risks

Exposure to rare earth pricing, FX, downstream markets and concentrated counterparties

Rare earth pricing risk

Project economics are highly sensitive to NdPr, Dy, Tb and Y prices and to the overall TREO basket. The PEA uses Adamas Intelligence Rare Earth Pricing Quarterly Outlook forecasts (2026–2040, with 2040 prices held flat thereafter). Rare earth prices are volatile, opaque and influenced by Chinese production, export controls, stockpile policy and substitution; actual realised prices may be materially lower than forecast.

Basket payability and product spec risk

The economics assume ~70% payability of basket value and the production of a saleable MREC meeting customer specifications (including radionuclide content). Payability, penalties, quality discounts and customer acceptance may differ.

Fluorspar and by-product risk

Fluorspar upside is not included in the PEA base case and is based on lab-scale test work only. Acid- and met-grade fluorspar markets, pricing and offtake are not assured.

Foreign exchange and interest-rate risk

The Project is reported in CAD but the Company's listings are in AUD and CAD. Movements in CAD/AUD/USD/EUR and interest-rate movements affecting project finance may materially affect outcomes.

Offtake, customer and counterparty risk

The Company has not yet entered binding offtake agreements. Concentration of potential customers, default risk, and dependence on a limited number of downstream processors (including potential JV separation, metallisation and magnet partners) introduces counterparty risk.

Competition and substitution risk

The Company competes with existing producers (including Chinese state-supported producers) and with new Western projects for capital, customers and skilled personnel. Technological substitution (e.g., non-REE magnets, recycling) may reduce long-term demand.

Inflation and input-cost risk

Operating and capital cost estimates are subject to changes in reagents, fuel, power, labour, contractor rates, shipping and equipment availability.


50

Risk Factors.

Regulatory, ESG, Corporate and Other Risks

Permitting, stakeholder, ESG and corporate risks

Permitting, licensing and regulatory risk

The Project requires multiple federal, provincial and municipal approvals, including environmental assessment under the JBNQA / NEQA frameworks, NI 43-101 disclosure compliance, water, air, tailings, transport, explosives and Indigenous consultation approvals. There is no certainty that approvals will be granted, or granted on acceptable terms or within the timeframes assumed.

Indigenous and community engagement risk

The Project's success depends on continued constructive engagement with First Nations communities, the Kativik Regional Government and other stakeholders, including agreements covering benefits, access, environmental protection and shared infrastructure. Disagreement, opposition or delay in negotiating these agreements could materially affect the Project.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk

Future Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") workstreams may identify issues — including water management, tailings, waste rock characterisation, biodiversity, archaeology, air quality, noise and socio-economic effects — that materially change Project design, cost or schedule. Climate-related transition and physical risks may also affect the Project.

Radioactivity and tailings risk

Monazite-hosted rare earth ores contain natural radionuclides (Th, U). Achievement of industry-accepted radionuclide levels in concentrate, MREC and tailings is subject to metallurgical and regulatory risk.

Title, tenure and royalty risk

The Property comprises 244 Exclusive Exploration Rights in good standing until May 2027, with limited third-party royalties on a small number of original claims. There is no certainty that EERs will be renewed, converted to mining leases or remain free of further encumbrances.

Corporate and structural risk

The Company is the product of the October 2025 merger between Mont Royal Resources and Commerce Resources. Integration, governance, dual-listing compliance (ASX and TSX-V), CDI structures, shareholder approvals and cross-jurisdictional tax outcomes may give rise to risk.

Forward-looking statement risk

All forward looking statements in this presentation involve significant uncertainties (refer Slide 2). Actual results may differ materially from expectations, and readers should not place undue reliance on them.

General risks

Macroeconomic conditions, capital market access, equity market volatility, geopolitical events, tariffs and trade measures (including those affecting critical minerals supply chains), cybersecurity, key personnel retention, litigation and insurance availability may also adversely affect the Company.
