Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
The March quarter marked another period of significant advancement for the Company as we progressed our Endeavor Mine restart strategy, continuing to lay the foundations for sustained cashflow and long-term growth.
Our experienced team remains laser-focused on hoisting and processing of first ore in early May with cashflow to follow in June. We are particularly encouraged by our progress in re-establishing access to the Upper North Lode area, where highgrade silver mineralisation is to be mined.
==> picture [250 x 164] intentionally omitted <==
During February, we raised $33.32 million (after costs) through an institutional placement, with strong support from both new investors and existing shareholders. In keeping with our strategy of facilitating shareholder participation, a Share Purchase Plan was completed in March which raised a further $423,500. Total capital raised of $33.74 million ensures a healthy balance sheet, increased liquidity and scaled up exploration as we transition into production. The Board thanks all participants for their support and will continue to work in the best interests of all shareholders.
Our workforce continues to grow, with more than 120 full time personnel now employed by the Company. In addition, a further 60 casual employees and contractors are engaged in the restart activities. Company employee numbers will continue to grow to approximately 200 to fully support continuous operations.
We are very pleased to welcome Polymetals director Jess Oram to the Executive role of Director – Exploration. Jess is an economic geologist with more than three decades of international and domestic exploration experience (including the Cobar Basin) and will drive our near-mine and regional programs across the highly prospective wholly owned 1,107 km² Cobar Basin tenement package.
In conclusion, whilst the business plan has been ambitious, the Board is very pleased with restart progress and accelerating exploration, both well supported by a robust balance sheet.
Polymetals is on track to become Australia’s next silver and zinc producer, and we look forward to updating you again shortly as we advance to production and unlock further value for our shareholders.
Best Regards, David Sproule Executive Chairman

Endeavor Silver Zinc Mine Cobar, NSW
Redevelopment activities for the restart of the underground Endeavor Silver Zinc Mine commenced in November 2024 which has been substantially accelerated during the past quarter. The company remains on track for wet commissioning of the mill during April with first ore processing and concentrate production in May 2025.
Endeavor Restart Update
Underground and surface redevelopment continued in line with the Mine Restart Plan. Key activities during the quarter included:
-
Site-wide recruitment, safety and training systems were embedded, with operational readiness progressing across all departments. At quarter-end, full time site employee numbers exceeded 120.
-
Approval by the NSW Resources Regulator of an updated explosives license.
-
Arrival and commissioning of further key underground mobile fleet including production drill rigs, loaders, charging rig, concrete spray rig and trucks.
-
Continued rehabilitation and the establishment of services (power and ventilation) in multiple underground drives to allow safe access to stopes.
-
First full-face development advance underground aimed at accessing the high-grade silver Upper North Lode
-
Blasting of first ore on the 775 level of the main orebody.
-
Surface site water management optimisation which included excavation of 20,000m[3] of solids from the process water dam and the re-establishment of surface drains to harvest storm water.
-
In the processing plant the fabrication of replacement chutes and hoppers and rubber lining of the same. Major refurbishment works on the SAG and ball mills.
-
Repair of concrete plinths and structural steel supports including new civil works to enhance operational efficiencies.
-
Continued structural, mechanical and electrical refurbishment for both surface and undergound.
Underground Readiness & Mobile Equipment
Polymetals has adopted an owner operator approach to mining. During the quarter, site access and underground rehabilitation has progressed in line with the Mine Restart Plan. This has included modifications to the mine entry portal, decline floor and backs to enable larger 65-tonne trucks to operate within the mine which will significantly improve haulage efficiencies.
For the quarter ended 31 March 2025

Works to extend ventilation and rehabilitation of existing drives to allow access to ore and commence production is progressing to schedule. A recently commissioned production drill rig commenced drilling on the 775 Level in February with the first ore production blast completed in mid-March (Figures 1 and 2). Ore is being stockpiled underground until commencement of crushing and hoisting in early May.
Rehabilitation also continued to establish access to the high-grade silver Upper North Lode (UNL) which is scheduled to be mined during the early stages of production.

Surface Refurbishment
On surface, refurbishment of the 1.2 Mtpa processing plant and supporting infrastructure remains on schedule.
Critical tasks for operational readiness are in clear focus which also includes recruitment of operating personnel. Priority structural and electrical works identified by early audits are progressing as planned and first fill reagents and critical spares have been ordered or are in store.
Wet commissioning of the mill is scheduled to occur during April with first ore to be processed during May.

Near Mine Exploration
The Carpark Prospect, adjacent and south of Endeavor Main Zone, was the Company’s priority for nearmine exploration this quarter. Phase 4 drilling resumed in January 2025 to target a high-priority geophysical anomaly identified by downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) and induced polarisation (IP) surveys.
Previous drilling at Carpark has found significant lead and zinc anomalism. This Phase 4 drilling is targeting a geophysical anomaly showing overlapping high conductivity (from EM) and chargeability (from IP). This largely untested area is within 300 metres of the Endeavor Resource boundary.
The Company considers the Carpark Prospect to have high potential to host a southern extension to the Endeavor mineral system and a key opportunity to add near-term resource growth immediately adjacent to existing mining infrastructure.
The recent excavation of solids from the process water dam revealed a north-south striking silicified zone 500 m south of Endeavor (Figure 5). Three shallow RC holes were subsequently drilled beneath the

silicified zone, returning significant silicification that warrants further follow-up drilling, sometime after the current drilling at Carpark is completed.
The results of this RC drilling provide further evidence that mineralisation may extend further south than the Main Zone through the area drilled. The geological structure, the increase in silica alteration, and the position on the line of lode, along with the broad zones of anomalism observed from recent drilling at Carpark, indicate an untested volume of rock close to the orebody that warrants further investigation. This volume has little previous drilling is highly prospective and remains open for further follow-up drilling.
At the end of the quarter the company is drilling the first of four, 600m diamond drill holes into the carpark prospect.

Regional Exploration
During the March quarter, Polymetals advanced its regional exploration strategy across the broader 1,107 km² tenement holding. Further desktop investigation of various explorer’s historic data dating back to the 1970’s confirmed known targets and identified new areas of interest. The recent capital raise now allows on-ground investigation of these targets to determine the best approach for testing potential new ore bodies. This large, underexplored land package contains multiple historic target areas identified through a two-year data compilation exercise completed by Polymetals in 2024.
As the mine restart progresses, the Company is now focussing on project growth through organic development based on a pipeline of projects. During the quarter, the exploration team has completed plans to acquire 18 line-kilometres of induced polarisation (IP) geophysics over a selection of highpriority prospects within its large exploration tenement package.
For the quarter ended 31 March 2025

These surveys, set to commence in Q2 2025, will be followed by geological mapping and surface geochemistry to define new drill targets in structurally complex areas which have potential to host sulphide mineralisation.
The regional strategy seeks to identify satellite deposits and sustain mill feed flexibility at Endeavor over the long-term. Several of these targets are within logistical reach of the existing processing infrastructure, offering significant strategic value should Resources be confirmed.
Regional Exploration Plan
Having compiled the historic geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling information generated over the last 50 years within the Company’s wholly owned exploration licences surrounding Endeavor we can now focus on prospects ranging from ready-to-drill to those more grassroots in nature. The region shows many promising exploration targets. Additional exploration, including regional BLEG geochemistry surveys and mapping, may reveal more drill targets, especially in areas of deeper regolith cover. Now that the Endeavor Mine redevelopment is well underway, the Company plans to actively advance exploration targets during the 2025 field season.
Historic drilling has made No. 4 Tank Prospect and Furney’s Tank Prospect top priorities. Other prospects are ranked based on data anomalies, particularly if there is a coincidence of anomalies. The prospect ranking across the entire tenement package is shown in Figure 6.
Before targeted drilling, Polymetals will advance high-priority regional targets in Q1 2025 using IP geophysics, geological mapping, prospecting, and auger drilling. The goal is to cost-effectively increase prospectivity levels (as represented by Figure 6), ultimately defining economic ore accumulations.

Corporate
During the March quarter, Polymetals significantly strengthened its balance sheet through the successful completion of a $35 million institutional placement at $0.80 per share. The placement was well supported by both new and existing institutional investors and strengthens the Company’s balance sheet to complete mine restart activities and accelerate exploration across its tenement portfolio.
To complement the placement and provide existing shareholders an opportunity to participate, a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) was conducted during February and March, raising an additional $423,500. Notably, the Board and management contributed $295,000, reflecting strong internal alignment with the Company’s shareholders, strategy and growth outlook.
On 13 January 2025, the Company appointed Mr Jess Oram to the role of Executive Director – Exploration. Mr Oram brings more than 30 years of experience in mineral discovery and development across a range of commodities and jurisdictions and has already played a key role in shaping Polymetals’ near-mine and regional exploration focus.
The company is progressing replacement of the Environmental Bond held by the vendor, due for exchange by August 2026. Site visits have recently been completed, and the company is engaging with potential financing partners.
The Endeavor Project development expenditure during the quarter was $8.3m.
Exploration and evaluation expenses were $168,000 during the quarter.
Payments in cash to related parties of the Company and their associates during the quarter amounted to $9,000. This comprised non-executive Director fees of $9,000.
On 31 March 2025, the Company held a pro forma cash position of approximately $32.24 million, with access to an additional US$10.0 million (~A$16 million) in undrawn funding under the US$20 million Ocean Partners facility. With mine redevelopment advancing on schedule and exploration programs ramping up, Polymetals enters the June quarter in a strong financial and operational position.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company and MAC Copper have completed the Share Subscription Agreement entered into on 27[th] May 2024. Polymetals has now received $2.5 million in cash and has issued 7,142,587 fully paid shares to MAC Copper. The Water supply and Zinc milling arrangements which were conditions precedent under the agreement have also been executed.
As of 1 April 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $34.74 million.
