ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Mt Mulgine Scoping Study Demonstrates Globally Significant Critical Minerals Project

Australian tungsten developer Tungsten Mining NL (ASX:TGN) (Tungsten Mining, ” “ TGN, ” or “ the Company ”), is pleased to announce the results of the Scoping Study (“the Study”) for the Mt Mulgine Project in Western Australia. The study underscores the global significance of the Mt Mulgine Project, highlighting encouraging project economics and supporting an accelerated approach to tungsten and molybdenum production. The results provide a strong foundation for the immediate commencement of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

Highlights

  • The Scoping Study positions Mt Mulgine as a potential long-term, low-cost producer of tungsten and molybdenum, with additional copper, gold and silver upside.

  • Study highlights encouraging financial outcomes for the preferred 6 Mtpa Development Case:

  • Large Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate base of 175 Mt supporting long-term production, with significant scope to expand the Resource Estimate and extend mine life.

  • Given the size of the resource and the strategic nature of US critical minerals-listed tungsten & molybdenum, there is opportunity to increase the scale of processing up to 15 Mtpa.

  • Defined gold resource (67.5 koz) and additional exploration target (44 – 87 koz) provides optionality to monetise the enriched, near surface gold on the back of record gold prices.

  • Positive Scoping Study outcomes enable immediate commencement of the PFS, targeted for completion in Q2 2026.

  • Pending positive PFS outcomes, TGN will target Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completion in H2 2027.

Tungsten Mining Chairman, Gary Lyons commented:

“The Mount Mulgine Scoping Study confirms that Tungsten Mining's mineral resource inventory is of global significance. Located in Western Australia, a safe and well-regarded mining jurisdiction, previous drilling and ongoing analysis highlights that the Mount Mulgine project is one of the largest and most valuable tungsten deposits outside of China. With tungsten prices currently trading at record highs, it is important to note that the economics of this Scoping Study have been assessed at significantly lower long-term assumptions, underlining the robustness potential of the project. In short, this Scoping Study marks key milestone in Mt Mulgine’s evolution and an important step in securing diversified sources of critical minerals for the future.

Cautionary Statements

The Scoping Study referred to in this ASX announcement has been undertaken for the purpose of initial evaluation of a potential development of the Mt Mulgine Project in Western Australia. It is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Mt Mulgine Project.

The Scoping Study outcomes, production target and forecast financial information referred to in this release are based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves. Further exploration, evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before TGN will be able to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case.

Of the Mineral Resources scheduled for extraction in the Scoping Study production plan 100% fall within the Indicated Category. No inferred mineral resources or portion of the exploration target features in the mine plan and are not included in the production of financial models.

The Scoping Study is based on material assumptions as outlined in this announcement. These include assumptions about the availability of funding. While TGN considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.

To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, pre-production funding in the order of A$358 – $A495M (for the preferred development case) may be required. There is no certainty that TGN will be able to source that amount of funding when required. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of TGN’s shares. It is also possible that TGN could pursue other value realisation strategies such as a sale, partial sale or joint venture of the Project.

Statements in this announcement regarding TGN’s business or proposed business, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as Mineral Resource estimates, market prices of tungsten, molybdenum, copper, gold and silver, capital and operating costs, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, and statements that describe TGN’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that TGN or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by TGN, are inherently subject to significant technical, business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

TGN believes that this announcement includes a fair and balanced summary of the Study. TGN has concluded that it has a reasonable basis for providing these forward-looking statements and the forecast financial information included in this release. This includes a reasonable basis to expect that it will be able to fund the development of the Project upon successful delivery of key development milestones and when required. While TGN considers all material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Study will be achieved and are considered preliminary in nature. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results of this Study.

Project Background

The Mt Mulgine Project represents a strategically significant asset, hosting one of the largest undeveloped tungsten and molybdenum inventories globally, see Figure 2. Located in Western Australia, a recognised, low-risk mining jurisdiction with established infrastructure and strong regulatory frameworks. The project’s scale, combined with the critical importance of tungsten and molybdenum to industrial and defence applications, positions Mt Mulgine as a potentially key future supplier of strategic metals essential to global supply chain security.

As of 2025, the Mulgine Trench deposit has a JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource of 247 Mt containing 270 kt of tungsten (as scheelite) and 69 kt of molybdenum (as molybdenite)[1] . The project will involve development of a greenfield mine and processing operation to produce tungsten and molybdenum concentrates as its primary products, together with a copper-gold-silver (Cu-Au-Ag) concentrate.

The project site is located approximately 330 km northnortheast (NNE) of Perth in the Murchison Region of Western Australia, See Figure 1. Road access to site from Perth is via the Great Northern Highway or the MullewaWubin Road to the town of Perenjori. Access from Perenjori to site is via the Perenjori-Rothsay and Warriedar Copper Mine public roads.

Significant exploration has been undertaken at Mt Mulgine beginning in the early 1900s with gold prospecting, followed by small-scale molybdenum mining between 1910 and 1920. Mt Mulgine has since been explored and mined by several companies. In 2015 Tungsten Mining acquired the tungsten and molybdenum rights from Hazelwood Resources and has since completed an additional 46,648 m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and 5,608 m of diamond core drilling. Tungsten Mining’s drilling combined with historical drilling totals 112,938 m of drilling at Mulgine Trench. The Company obtained the tenements outright from Minjar Gold Pty Ltd in late 2024.

Study Purpose

The Mt Mulgine Integrated Scoping Study was undertaken to evaluate a range of strategic pathways to production. The objective was to maximise value from the project’s Mineral Resources, while balancing start-up capital requirements against project returns. The objective was to refine a sub-set of preferred development cases to advance into the PFS.

The Scoping Study included the following components:

  • Assessment of multiple start-up scenarios, including gold-first and tungsten-first processing at different scales.

  • Conceptual capital and operating cost estimates for different scale tungsten and gold start-up cases.

  • Evaluation of synergies between the gold and tungsten infrastructure.

  • High-level financial analysis of selected cases to understand project economics.

  • Strategic assessment to identify the most attractive pathway to advance into Pre-Feasibility.

Note – where this document references ‘tungsten ore’, ‘tungsten project’ or ‘tungsten production’, this includes production of a molybdenum concentrate and a mixed base metals concentrate containing gold, silver and copper.

Study Strategy

Engineering was independently completed by Mincore for gold and tungsten processing to establish base cases and support cost estimates. Gold processing was assessed at 1.5 Mtpa, while tungsten was assessed at 3 Mtpa. Mincore designed the flowsheet, and engineering was completed for both processing options to establish the equipment list and thus the capital and operating cost basis. The base cases were then scaled to test a range of throughput capacities, providing flexibility in evaluating different development scenarios.

The throughput capacities assessed are summarised for the gold (Table 1) and tungsten cases (Table 2):

Table 1: Gold Plant Capacity Cases

Gold Plant Capacity Cases Gold Plant Capacity Cases Gold Plant Capacity Cases Gold Plant Capacity Cases
Throughput (tpa) 1 Mtpa 1.5 Mtpa 2 Mtpa
Table 2: Tungsten Capacity Cases
Tungsten Capacity Cases
Throughput
(tpa)
3 Mtpa 4 Mtpa 6 Mtpa 9 Mtpa 12 Mtpa 15 Mtpa

Supporting mine-schedules were developed for each scenario to provide inputs for financial analysis. This approach allowed the Company to assess the relative merits of gold-first and tungsten-first development options before selecting the preferred pathway.

Study Scope

The Study scope incorporated a broad range of assessments required to be defined for the Gold and Tungsten cases. These scope elements have been outlined below:

Mining & Geology Scope:

  • Desktop Mining Assessment including:

  • Pit optimisations completed on the Mulgine Trench Resource model[3]

  • Preliminary pit designs and waste rock landform modelling

  • Mine schedules completed for a series of development options

  • Geological evaluation of gold potential at Mulgine Trench and surrounding prospects

Metallurgical & Process Infrastructure Scope:

  • Metallurgical testwork – completed on major lithologies for the Trench deposit

  • Metallurgical evaluation of historical testwork results

  • Process design for Gold and Tungsten Processing Facilities

  • Process Flowsheet Diagram (PFD)

  • Process Design Criteria (PDC)

  • Mass Balance (MB)

  • Mechanical Equipment List (MEL)

  • Preliminary engineering design for equipment sizing

  • Plant layouts

Non-Process Infrastructure Scope:

  • Assessment of Non-Processing Infrastructure (NPI) including:

  • Tailings storage facilities (TSF)

  • Power plant

  • Camp

  • Maintenance, offices, warehouses and other auxiliary infrastructure buildings

  • Desktop water supply assessment completed

Project Evaluation Scope:

  • Overall project operating expenditure (OPEX) estimate (AACE class 4/5, ± 50%)

  • Overall project capital expenditure (CAPEX) estimate (AACE class 4/5, ± 50%)

  • Financial evaluation

  • Project risk & opportunities evaluation

Internal Strategic Assessment

An internal strategic assessment was conducted to assess the merits of start-up gold processing transitioning into tungsten processing. The internal evaluation concluded the following:

  • Some of the oxide gold mineralisation sits above the proposed tungsten start-up pit.

  • The gold-start up strategy was to develop a conventional gold processing facility to process the near surface gold mineralisation before re-purposing the appropriate components of the project to process tungsten ore.

  • Whilst possibly allowing a lower CAPEX start-up solution to the Mt Mulgine Project by starting the project on gold processing, tungsten production from the project would be delayed.

  • Concurrent Tungsten and Gold ore processing options were also considered, however were not evaluated in detail as the current in-situ value of the tungsten ore is significantly more than the oxide gold ore and thus does not make economic sense to process gold ore once the tungsten ore is exposed and can be processed.

  • • The current definition around the oxide gold resource is limited and would require significant capital expenditure and time to improve the resource definition for detailed evaluation purposes.

  • Alternative ways to monetise the gold ore in the tungsten over-burden that do not delay the production of tungsten will be evaluated as a part of future studies.

Due to the above, and the strong tungsten market, the Scoping Study focus shifted to tungsten-only ore processing.

Market Assessment

Tungsten

The share of demand for tungsten has been shifting, globally as there is increasing interest in using tungsten for high performance defence, industrial and clean energy applications. Figure 3[4] displays the current demand segments across the market. Tungsten, typically traded as Ammonium Paratungstate (APT), occupies a pivotal position in the global supply chain, as shown in Figure 4.

Buyers are seeking reliable replacement volumes as existing mines approach depletion and limited new supply is coming online. Rising demand for tungsten products is unlikely to be met through increased recycling, as further scrap use would be inefficient, meaning higher product demand will directly increase concentrate demand. Consumers are looking to consolidate their supplier base to secure larger, more stable supply volumes and reduce costs.

Figure 4: Tungsten Industry Chain

==> picture [197 x 176] intentionally omitted <==

The tungsten market has historically maintained a balanced supply–demand dynamic with steady growth. However, recent Chinese export restrictions, where they control 80%[5] of the world’s supply, have disrupted this equilibrium by reducing supply in western markets. This shift is creating a favourable environment for new non-Chinese projects, which are rapidly gaining competitiveness and attracting growing interest from western governments and investors seeking to diversify supply chains.

Molybdenum

Molybdenum is a refractory metal that readily forms hard, stable carbides, used as an alloying agent in steels, cast irons and in superalloys. In these uses, molybdenum enhances hardness, strength, toughness and resistance to wear and corrosion. Molybdenum is usually added with other alloying metals such as chromium, niobium, manganese, nickel, and tungsten. Such uses account for most molybdenum consumption, but molybdenum is also used in chemical applications, such as in catalysts, greases and lubricants.

Within this, carbon steel, full alloy steel and high-strength-low-alloy steels, collectively referred to as ‘engineering steels’, are the greatest consumers of molybdenum, while stainless steel is the second largest. Other metallurgical applications for molybdenum include cast irons, superalloys, metallic molybdenum, and chemical applications. See Figure 6 for a summary of the molybdenum industrial chain.

Molybdenum is expected to continue to have strong demand in global power generation and infrastructure projects as countries continue to prioritise clean energy to address climate change.

==> picture [510 x 342] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Molybdenum Industrial Chain[6]

According to the 2025 USGS report[7] , China produced ~40% of the world’s molybdenum in 2024. Similar to tungsten, molybdenum has also been subject to export controls, disrupting global supply chains and consequently increasing demand in western markets. Estimated global molybdenum production in 2024 increased by 6% compared with that in 2023. In descending order of production, China, Peru, Chile, the United States, and Mexico provided 90% of total global production. Of the five major producers, only China and the United States produced molybdenum from both primary molybdenum mines and by-product copper mines; the other countries produced molybdenum as a byproduct from copper mines. Declining ore grades at porphyry copper mines are also affecting molybdenum production. Several large porphyry copper mines are expected to reach end-of-life in the mid-2030s which will further affect future molybdenum supply.

Copper, Gold and Silver

Copper and copper alloy products are used in building construction, 42%; electrical and electronic products, 23%; transportation equipment, 18%; consumer and general products, 10%; and industrial machinery and equipment, 7%. The world mine production reached 23 million tonnes in 2024[8] .

Gold is primarily used in jewellery, accounting for 45% of above ground stocks, followed by private investment 22%, Official Holdings 17% and Other 15%. The 10-year average between 2015 and 2024 for total mine supply is 3,572 tonnes per year, whereas recycled gold provides 1,199 tonnes per year[9] .

Silver’s primary use is industrial, accounting for approximately half of global demand, 21,200 tonnes in 2024 followed by jewellery, 6,500, coin & net bar, 5,900 tonnes and some minor uses in silverware, 1,700 tonnes and photography, 800 tonnes. The total mine supply in 2024 was 25,500 tonnes[10] .

Pricing Trends and Outlooks

The cumulative price change percentages for tungsten, molybdenum, copper, gold and silver are shown in Figure 7. The 5-year trends highlight significant increases in price action across commodities reflecting strong postpandemic recovery, persistent inflationary pressures, geopolitical factors and sustained demand growth linked to industrial expansion and the global energy transition. Sustained demand is expected to continue for these commodities through to development of the Mt Mulgine asset as strong fundamentals persist.

Geology & Mineral Resources

Background

The Mt Mulgine Project has been subjected to intense exploration for gold, tungsten and molybdenum since the 1960s. Initially exploration targeted molybdenum from 1910 to 1970, then Minefields and ANZECO conducted systematic exploration for tungsten at Mulgine Hill and Mulgine Trench until the mid-1980s. Activities from 1985 to 2016 mostly targeted gold, including the mining of the Highland Chief, Bobby McGee, Black Dog and Camp pits. Since 2015 Tungsten Mining has conducted systematic exploration targeting tungsten, molybdenum, gold, silver and copper. Figure 8 displays all the potential locations that are being targeted for further evaluation for tungsten and gold.

Figure 8: Overall View of Gold and Tungsten MRE's across Mt Mulgine's Tenements

Mt Mulgine is as an Archaean porphyry tungsten-molybdenum-gold-silver polymetallic system. The mineralised horizon at Mulgine Trench is 150–260 m thick, extends over 1.5 km of strike, and dips 25–40° northwest. The stratigraphy comprises mafic to ultramafic amphibolites with several narrow BIF units, which act as marker horizons. Numerous felsic quartz-muscovite-sericite units intrude the sequence, and these are interpreted as being associated with the Mulgine Granite intrusion. The Mulgine Granite is interpreted as the source of the fluids associated with the tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation. Long and cross sections of Mulgine Trench are shown in Figure 9.

Mineralisation

Scheelite is the dominant tungsten mineral within the deposit, generally presenting as a blend of fine and coarse grained scheelite particles, which tend to aggregate where significant alteration occurs. Scheelite is predominantly enclosed by or in contact with mica or quartz and is generally present in all lithologies. Molybdenite often occurs as flakes on the boundaries of differing rock types and can be finely disseminated or occur in local clusters. An example of the ultramafic unit is shown below (Wet and UV photography) in Figure 10 and Figure 11, with high grade scheelite populating the heavily altered ultramafic and quartz units.

Primary Tungsten Resource

Mulgine Trench

Mulgine Trench hosts the majority of Tungsten Mining’s mineral inventory, hosting a single primary ore body demonstrating considerable width and extent, known to be open along strike and at depth. The Mineral Resource Estimate defined by Optiro in 2020, demonstrates the strong continuity in the resource, being largely mineralised below the base of oxidation.

The Mineral Resource Estimate for Mulgine Trench is displayed below in Table 3[12] .

Gold Resource

Beyond Mulgine Trench, significant exploration has been undertaken at the Camp prospect, south of Mulgine Trench. Gold mineralisation at the Camp Prospect is hosted by a greenstone sequence comprising biotite schists with minor Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and felsic intrusive units. Two main zones occur at the Main Camp trend that hosts the Bell, Williams and Spock Pits and extends over 800 metres of strike and the Ocean prospect in Figure 12. Mineralisation is supergene enriched within the weathering profile and occurs in multiple stacked lodes in structurally controlled shallow northwest dipping zones.

Camp Prospect

The Mineral Resource Estimate specifically targeting gold at the Camp pits, is shown in Table 5. Figure 12 shows location of the primary Camp resource. Refer to the respective ASX announcement for cross-sections[14] .

The Camp pits have been subjected to drilling of 1,445 reverse circulation and diamond holes for a total of 42,191 metres, as shown in Table 6[16] . This included close spaced grade control drilling in 2014 prior to commencing mining activities. Minjar Gold Pty Ltd (Minjar Gold) mined six shallow pits at Camp targeting oxide gold mineralisation in 2014-2015.

Historic drilling identified significant shallow gold mineralisation beneath and adjacent to these pits. Potential also exists to define additional shallow zones of supergene enrichment in areas sparsely drilled where deeper TGN drilling intersected broad zones of anomalous gold down dip.

Future Exploration

Tungsten

There exists opportunity to expand the current Mulgine Trench resource with additional resource drilling to extend the resource along strike, and at depth. Holes extended to depth, have indicated strong continuity in tungsten mineralisation demonstrating the potential for the mineralisation to extend down dip.

Mulgine Hill remains a strong target with a significant resource already defined at elevated tungsten grades. There is opportunity to extend the mineralisation to the west towards Mulgine Trench and to the north. Significant molybdenum grades have also been identified in drilling within and adjacent to the Mulgine Hill resource generating strong targets, particularly to the east[18] . There is also anomalous tungsten and molybdenum that has been identified south of Mulgine Trench and Hill, which has yet to be adequately drill tested.

Gold

Within the exploration target stated above, are significant targets which have the potential to increase the standalone gold resource within the project. Namely, the primary Mulgine Trench gold target, Allentown, and Monza Prospects. At Mulgine Trench, mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, while there are significant high-grade intersections at Monza, including 4 m at 27.69 g/t Au and 4 m at 25.18 g/t Au, from 19 and 93 metres respectively. Allentown has significant mineralisation across three east–west structures over 180 m of strike, remaining open to the east and west, with highlights of 23 m at 1.84 g/t Au and 10 m at 2.02 g/t Au, from 12 and 4 metres respectively[19] . Together, these near-surface and high-grade targets, along with underexplored regional areas, offer opportunities to materially enhance the project’s gold potential and support its viability as a world-class tungsten operation.

Mining

This chapter presents the technical and physical aspects that have been given consideration in the development of the mine design and production schedules used for the Scoping Study. Such aspects include resource characteristics, geotechnical parameters, mining methods, pit design parameters, mine schedules and operating cost estimates. Modelling completed thus far is preliminary and will be refined in the subsequent study phase.

Mt Mulgine is an Archaean porphyry tungsten-molybdenum-gold-silver system. The Mulgine Trench deposit lends itself to open pit mining, due to the large and relatively homogeneous orebody, carrying a low strip ratio.

Pit Optimisations

Pit optimisations were completed on the Optiro Block Model generated for the Mulgine 2020 Mineral Resource Estimate[20] using whittle software. Optimisations were completed on Indicated material only, noting that a volume of Inferred material falls within the optimised pits, however this was regarded as waste and was not used to support the financial evaluation.

Conservative optimisation parameters were used, that align with the assumptions used in the financial modelling to estimate potential economic inventory. Optimisations were completed using tungsten and molybdenum as the denominators for ore and waste determination with cut-offs applied to classify material. Only fresh and transitional material of sufficient grade was classified as ore. All oxide material is treated as waste. There is opportunity with further definition that the in-situ gold bearing oxide material of sufficient grade could be stockpiled, further work is required to define and quantify this.

Geotechnical parameters were based on desktop assessments completed at Mulgine Trench, thus based on the rock mass classification, kinematic analysis and slope stability modelling, suitable parameters were adopted.

This study did not include modelling of detailed pit designs, however the conformance with pit optimisations and designs from the previously completed PFS is high, generating similar outcomes. This is expected to continue as the company progresses into the next study phase. Further optimisation of these is anticipated with detailed pit designs to follow.

It is anticipated that a JORC (2012) compliant Ore Reserve Estimate Statement will be released in the next study phase. Staged pits from completed optimisations are shown in Figure 13.

Mining Approach

Mining is expected to take place in stages with several cutbacks required to access lower benches. Stage 1, 2 and 3 pits largely conform with previous designs completed over the Mulgine Trench deposit, containing approximately 30, 60 and 140 Mt of material respectively (total material, not cumulative).

The project is expected to be mined by conventional drill, blast, load and haul methods. The current strip ratio is 0.8:1 (waste:ore) based on optimisations, however this would be expected to increase marginally once pit designs are completed. The study assumes mining will be operated by contractors as this presents a lower risk and reduced capital option. The mining contractor is expected to be selected and engaged through a competitive tender process.

Mine Schedules

The aim of the scheduling process was to generate preliminary benchmark schedules that meet mill feed requirements and prioritise higher grade ore within the nested pit optimisations. The schedule has constraints based on vertical rate advances but will require further optimisation and smoothing to generate a consistent waste schedule and limit fluctuations in fleet requirements. Material movement limits were revised to accommodate higher mining rates during stripping activities, enabling ore production in Year 1 and providing the necessary waste material for initial TSF construction. Mine modelling and schedules will be further developed in the next study phase.

Schedules for 6 Mtpa and 15 Mtpa mill feed options are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 below with tungsten and molybdenum grade profiles.

Metallurgy and Process Selection

Trench Testwork Overview

The Mulgine Trench deposit comprises of three ore zones: an oxide zone, a transition layer and a primary mineralisation zone that can be divided into three major lithologies:

  1. Basalt (mafic)

  2. Ultramafic

  3. Felsic

Following historical testwork completed in the 1970’s – 1980’s, considerable testwork has been undertaken on the Mulgine Trench samples, which included the 2021 PFS Testwork Program and the 2024-2025 Process Flowsheet Program.

2021 PFS Testwork

The 2021 PFS Testwork program was undertaken in a variety of laboratories and was focused on testing the following lithologies within the Trench deposit:

  • Basalt

  • Felsic

  • Ultramafic

  • Saprock Basalt

  • Lower Saprolite

The testwork was performed in two phases with the initial phase focused on a “fine” (212 µm) grind followed by bulk sulfide flotation and gravity separation. The first phase assessed different lithologies to understand process variability and to de-risk the flowsheet. This work consisted of mineralogy, QEMSCAN, comminution, ore sorting, bulk sulfide flotation, gravity separation and copper and molybdenum flotation.

A second phase of testing was undertaken using a “coarse” (1.18 mm) grind followed by gravity separation ahead of bulk sulfide flotation. This testwork was only conducted on the basalt rock.

A summary of the testwork is presented in Table 8.

2024 Process Flowsheet Testwork

The process flowsheet testwork program commenced in late 2024 and is currently ongoing. The testwork was undertaken on four main lithological samples from the Trench deposit and focused on gravity concentration and flotation as the primary beneficiation methods with some preliminary sighter tests on magnetic separation. The main objectives of the testwork program were to assess the amenability of gravity and flotation beneficiation for different lithologies and to develop a suitable process flowsheet for the production of the following products:

  • Tungsten (Scheelite) concentrate

  • Molybdenum concentrate

  • Base metals (Cu-Au-Ag) concentrate

  • Magnetite concentrate

A summary of the lithologies, composites and testwork to date is shown in Table 9.

Process Flowsheet Selection Basis

The flowsheet for this study was mainly selected based on testwork outcomes from the 2024-2025 program. The program primarily focuses on gravity and flotation concentration methods.

The outcomes of the 2024-2025 Process Flowsheet Testwork so far have shown significant potential in simplifying the flowsheet as a result of promising gravity and flotation tests. Further testwork is planned to validate.

Testwork Summary

Mineralogy

Two techniques, QEMSCAN and Optical Mineralogy were undertaken during the 2021 PFS Testwork Program. The analysis was performed on five lithologies and the two techniques exhibited similar findings. They are summarised as follows:

  • Modal Abundance:

  • Basalt - Silicates comprise about 89% of the sample with quartz (34%) dominant followed by phlogopite (16%), and calcium amphibole (10%). Sulfides comprise about 7% of the sample with pyrite (6.9%) dominant. Scheelite and molybdenite represent 0.41% and 0.14% respectively.

  • Ultramafic - Ultramafic ore had a much higher proportion of calcium amphibole and lower proportion of quartz, than the basalt ore, though the minerals distribution trend across the size fractions were similar for both lithologies.

  • Felsic ore was dominated by quartz and muscovite, with no phlogopite present.

  • Saprock basalt showed a similar mineral abundance to basalt, but with a higher proportion of clay minerals.

  • Similarly, lower saprolite had a characteristic basalt assemblage, with an even higher component of clay minerals.

  • Tungsten

  • Scheelite is the primary tungten bearing mineral, which was shown to be well liberated in the particle size range of P80 passing 150 -190 µm for the primary lithologies. The liberation sizes of scheelite in weathered lithologies were generally finer than that of the primary ores.

  • Molybdenum, Copper and Gold

  • Molybdenite and chalcopyrite are the dominate molybdenum, copper and gold bearing minerals. The liberation sizes of molybdenite and chalcopyrite were much finer, ranging from 35 to 60 μm.

  • Iron

  • Iron deportment is dominated by pyrite followed by silicates, then micas and clays. Magnetite was present and was categorised as an Fe oxide. The pyrite is relatively coarse grained and the proportion of pyrite increases with increasing particle size. Conversely, the proportion of mica and clay increases with decreasing particle size.

  • Sulfur

  • Sulfur deportment in most lithology samples is dominated by pyrite followed by chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrrhotite. Deportment is relatively even across the size fractions other than chalcopyrite which increases in distribution with decreasing particle size.

  • Calcium

ASX: TGN

Page 25

==> picture [595 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • Calcium deportment is dominated by Ca amphibole followed by epidote. Scheelite accounts for small portion (~1.5% in the Basalt sample) of total calcium. Scheelite is shown to be deported in the finer size fractions as the proportion of calcium as scheelite increased in the -212 +106 μm and -106 μm fractions compared to overall sample. This was probably due to the generation of scheelite fines in the crushing process. Fluorite accounted for ~6% of the total calcium of the Basalt sample and this remained relatively consistent across all size fractions.

Comminution

Comminution testwork was undertaken in both programs and included the following tests:

  • Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) – defines the unconfined compressive strength of rocks.

  • Crushing Work Index (CWi) – Low-energy impact work index which is used to define energy required to break rocks to coarse sizes.

  • Bond Rod Mill Work Index (RWi) – A measure of the resistance of the material to crushing and grinding, the rod mill work index is used to the define the grinding power required for a given throughput of material under rod mill grinding conditions.

  • Bond Ball Mill Work Index (BWi) – A measure of the resistance of the material to crushing and grinding, the ball mill work index is used to the define the grinding power required for a given throughput of material under ball mill grinding conditions.

  • Bond Abrasion Work Index (Ai) – Determines the abrasion index for the different rock types. The Ai is used to determine steel media and liner wear in crushers and mills.

The comminution results are summarised in Table 10 and Table 11 below:

According to the results:

  • The unconfined compressive strength tests on the different lithologies samples ranged widely, Basalt and Ultramafic lithologies in particular, 21.4 - 318.5 MPa for Basalt and 48.9 – 249.3 MPa for Ultramafic, which is typical of UCS results. Additional UCS tests will be required on larger number of samples and/or more reliable tests such as SAG Mill Comminution (SMC) should be considered.

  • The Basalt ore, including High Mo Basalt, is considered medium to high abrasive and medium hard to very hard.

  • The Ultramafic ore, including High Mo Ultramafic, is considered medium abrasive and medium hard to very hard.

  • The Felsic ore is considered medium abrasive and soft to medium hard.

  • The Saprock Basalt ore is considered is considered medium abrasive and soft to medium hard.

  • The Lower Saprolite is considered non-abrasive and soft.

Coarse Gravity Testwork

The 2024-2025 lithology samples after milling and classification into different size fractions (-600+300 µm, - 300+106 µm and -106 µm) were tested for wet tabling concentration. Wet tabling tests were initially performed on each of the size fractions to investigate the suitability of using spirals and wet table for separating heavy scheelite and sulfide minerals.

The results of these wet tabling tests (Table 12 and Table 13) were promising for the coarser fractions (-600+300 µm and -300+106 µm), where on average ~90% WO3 recovery was achieved with mass yield of <20%, confirming the suitability of using gravity spirals and/or tables for primary concentration of the scheelite and sulfide minerals. The results for the fines fraction, on the other hand, were modest, which is likely a result of insufficient density differences between the scheelite / sulfide minerals and the gangue minerals.

Given the positive results of initial table tests, further wet table testing on a wider particle size range, i.e., -600+106 µm, was undertaken to assess the potential of simplifying the gravity circuit while achieving similar performance. The test was performed on the High Mo Basalt Composite only and the results are summarised in Table 14. As indicated,

the wet table on the wider size range outperformed the wet table tests on narrower size ranges, where similar WO3 recovery was achieved, but the WO3 upgrade was >10 times compared to an approximate 5 times upgrade of the previous table results and the mass yield was also reduced to <10%.

Flotation Testwork

Initial flotation testwork, mainly bulk sulfide flotation on fines fraction and scheelite flotation on BSF tails, showed promising results of achieving significant upgrade of the tungsten and sulfide minerals while maintaining reasonably good recovery. Summaries of the flotation testwork are presented in Table 15 and Table 16.

Though low feed grades, the BSF flotation results showed >10 times sulfide upgrade with good recoveries achieved for Mo (82-99%), Cu (50-70%) and S (89-92%) for the two composites tested. This result aligns well to what was achieved in the 2021 PFS testwork program and provides a good guidance to future testwork / process flowsheet development when the production of molybdenum and based metal (Cu-Au-Ag) concentrates are desired.

Scheelite flotation results showed >24 times tungsten upgrade with good recoveries (71 – 89%) achieved for the two samples. Downstream testwork is in progress to produce concentrate grade product, previous downstream testwork completed on Mulgine Hill also achieved product grade and indicates that the selected flowsheet will likely be suitable.

Molybdenum and Base Metals Flotation Testwork

Preliminary flotation testwork was performed during the 2021 PFS Program for the production of saleable molybdenum and base metals (Cu-Au-Ag) concentrate products.

Table 17 shows the Mo rougher grades and stage recoveries achieved on the BSF concentrate for the five lithologies. Mo concentrate grade in the range of 40% to 50% was achieved for all lithologies, except for the Ultramafic ore. Recoveries were in the range of 70% to 85%. Overall molybdenum recoveries with respect to the ROM feed were in the range of 15% to 70%.

Note: The Ag and Au grade and recoveries are indicative only. The estimates were obtained by ratio against sulfur due to the sample size being too small for direct measurement.

Table 18 shows the copper rougher grades and stage recoveries achieved on the Mo rougher concentrate for the five lithologies. Copper rougher grade varied widely in the range of 2% to 12% and further testwork will be required to produce saleable grade concentrate, i.e., >20% Cu grade. The Saprock Basalt and Lower Saprolite were from a “supergene zone” which showed higher copper head grades and hence higher concentrate grades in these zones. Copper recoveries were relatively consistent in the range of 72% to 85%. Overall copper recoveries regarding ROM feed were in the range of 28% to 71%.

Note: There was insufficient sample available to determine Ag and Au grade and recovery other than for basalt. The estimates for the other lithologies were based on sulfur assays.

The 2021 PFS results also showed that silver and gold were strongly associated with the copper / molybdenum concentrate and that there appeared to be a lower association between gold and silver with pyrite.

Magnetic Separation Testwork

Preliminary magnetic separation testwork, including Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) and Low Intensity Magnetic Separation (LIMS), were carried out in both the 2021 PFS and 2024-2025 process flowsheet testwork programs to explore the potential for producing a magnetite product.

A summary of the 2024-2025 magnetic separation results, on a High Mo Basalt BSF tails sample, is shown in Table 19. The results yielded ~2% of the ROM feed mass as high grade (+68% Fe) magnetite. Further work will be required to define and quantify the magnetite throughout the deposit.

Gold Testwork

One oxide sample from the Trench deposit was tested for comminution properties and gold extraction using conventional bottle roll tests to test amenability to standard carbon-in-leach gold processing. Testwork results revealed that the oxide ore within the Trench deposit exhibits medium abrasiveness and soft to medium hardness. Excellent gold extraction of 92.5% was also achieved with this sample.

==> picture [362 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 17: Gold Extraction over Time

In addition, it should also be noted that Trech oxide ore was processed in the Golden Range Processing Plant which was operated by Minjar Gold between 2013 and 2019 at an annual throughput of 700 - 725 Ktpa. Ore from adjacent to Mulgine Trench (the Camp prospects) was processed in 2014 and 2015, achieving recoveries exceeding 90%, similar to recent laboratory results.

Product Grade and Recovery Assumptions

Based on the current metallurgical testwork outcomes, the following grade and recoveries have been adopted for this study:

Table 20: Product Grade and Recovery Assumptions

Product Grade Recovery
Scheelite Concentrate 50% WO3 72.5%
Molybdenum Concentrate 50% Mo 70%
Base Metals Concentrate 22-23% Cu
52.2 g/t Au
2,918 g/t Ag
62% Cu
41% Au
47% Ag

It should be noted that the current testwork does not account for scavenging / re-processing of intermediate flotation streams, which is expected to increase the overall recoveries of target minerals. Further testwork is underway to validate.

Future Testwork

Significant testwork is planned to further support the process flowsheet development and engineering design. As mapped out in Figure 18, the metallurgical testwork for the Trench deposit is divided into three main stages, with the process flowsheet development testwork currently in progress.

ASX: TGN

==> picture [511 x 335] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 18: Trench Metallurgical Testwork Plans and Approach

The Stage 2 metallurgical testwork will be a Variability Testwork Program testing 10-15 variability composites across the Trench deposit, which consists of multiple weathering zones and lithologies. Each type of ore will respond differently to gravity and flotation beneficiation, therefore need to be separately tested for the process flowsheet developed during the Stage 1 testwork. During this stage, samples from main weathering / lithologies zones will be composited to validate the proposed process flowsheet and confirm target recoveries and product qualities can be achieved. The variability program will also assist in confirming the most suitable ore blending strategy for mine planning as well as inform the sample composition for the Stage 3 Bulk Program.

Based on outcomes of the Stage 1 and 2 testwork, the Stage 3 Bulk Testwork will be carried out. It is anticipated that the bulk testwork will be performed on a representative bulk composite sample (3-5 tonne) and will be aimed to achieve the following:

  • Confirm operating conditions, recoveries and to simulate in a continuous environment.

  • Testing of equipment that operates with a minimum scale (e.g. spirals). Identify scale-up issues, such as flotation residence time etc.

  • Provide sufficient material for testing within the flotation circuit, to produce scheelite and by-product concentrates both for engineering and marketing.

  • Identify and account for possible operational issues, including fines losses in the gravity circuit, slimes entrainment, flotation stability etc.

  • Inform the final process flowsheet selection as well as allowing for further optimisation of process parameters.

  • • Provide realistic design criteria (reagent dosages, size distributions, residence times, pulp densities and kinetics etc.), supply data for engineering sizing and design.

Process Design

As part of the evaluation of processing gold and tungsten, a 1.5 Mtpa gold process plant was designed with the intent of re-purposing associated infrastructure for a 3 Mtpa tungsten processing facility once the primary ore body has been accessed.

The process design for the gold and tungsten processing facilities is detailed below.

Gold Processing Plant (1.5 Mtpa)

The preliminary process flowsheet proposed for the gold processing plant, as shown in Figure 19, is based on the conventional carbon in leach (CIL) processing.

To reduce upfront capital expenditure, a three-stage mobile crushing plant was selected (incl. primary jaw, secondary and tertiary cone) to achieve a target product size of 100% passing 12 mm. The crushed ore will be stockpiled prior to being reclaimed by a front-end loader (FEL) to feed to the ball mill circuit, where the ore will be ground and classified to 80% passing 106 µm. The mill discharge will be directed to the CIL and adsorption, where the gold is extracted into solution and loaded onto carbon. The loaded carbon is then fed to the elution circuit, where the gold is stripped off the carbon and the pregnant liquor will be fed to the electrowinning and a gold room for final doré bar production. After stripping, the carbon will be regenerated and recycled back to the CIL circuit.

Tailings from the gold plant will be pumped to a designated tailings storage facility for long term storage and water recovery.

Tungsten Processing Plant (6 Mtpa)

The tungsten processing plant is designed on the basis of processing 6 Mtpa of tungsten ore. A simplified preliminary process flowsheet for the tungsten operation is shown in Figure 20.

The ROM ore will be crushed to 100% passing 12 mm via a three-stage crushing circuit comprising a primary jaw, a secondary cone crusher and a tertiary cone crusher. The crushed ore will be conveyed to a crushed ore stockpile prior to feeding the milling circuit. The ball mill circuit will further reduce the particle size to 80% passing 600 µm and classify the ore into coarse and fines fractions before it is sent to the beneficiation plant.

The beneficiation plant is broken down into the following key areas:

  • Primary Gravity Circuit – consisting of spirals which will pre-concentrate the coarse ore and direct the concentrate to the bulk sulfide flotation, and the tails will be classified and the coarse rejects will be sent to the tailings thickener.

  • Bulk Sulfide Flotation (BSF) and Magnetic Separation – the primary gravity concentrate is re-ground, combined with the fines fraction and directed to the bulk sulfide flotation circuit where the sulfide minerals, predominantly molybdenite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, are separated from scheelite and other gangue minerals. The BSF tails will then be treated by a low intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) circuit to remove any magnetic minerals.

  • Tungsten Cleaning and Flotation Circuit – the non-magnetics from the LIMS circuit will be fed to a tungsten secondary gravity circuit which is expected to comprise spirals and tables that will further concentrate the scheelite stream. The concentrate from the gravity circuit will then be treated by flotation to produce the final saleable scheelite concentrate product.

  • Sequential Sulfide Flotation Circuit – the BSF concentrate will be treated by multiple flotation stages to facilitate separation of pyrite from the molybdenum and copper minerals, and subsequently separation of the molybdenite from chalcopyrite to produce the final molybdenite concentrate product and the Cu-Au-Ag product.

Overall Plant Layout

An overall plant layout has been developed for the tungsten operations. As illustrated in Figure 21, the process plant layout has been developed to follow the logical sequence of the processing operations.

The tungsten plant has been designed based on processing trains at a nominal 3 Mtpa capacity, with each train replicating the original design to allow for expansion. This will be subject to further assessment in the next study phase.

==> picture [455 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 22: Site Layout - Overall - Mt Mulgine – NPI Facilities

Tailings Storage Facility (TSF)

The TSF for the Mt Mulgine Project will service the primary tungsten operation (6 Mtpa). The tailings from processing will be thickened and pumped as slurry to the TSF. Refer to Table 23 for approximate dimensions and capacity:

Table 23: Total TSF Dimensions

Dimensions Tungsten
Embankment Volume (Mm3) 12.8
Tailings Volume(Mm3) 46.3
Tailings Tonnes (Mt) 64.8
Maximum Crest Height (m) 40.0

Run of mine, non-mineralised, fresh and oxidised waste rock will be used as the primary construction material for the embankments and landforms. The facility will be staged, each stage will be constructed using downstream methods, incorporating traffic-compacted mine waste and roller-compacted low-permeability materials. The design basis incorporates seismic, hydrological, and geotechnical considerations. Stability and seepage analyses confirm compliance with safety factors under drained, undrained, and seismic conditions .

Power Supply

The conceptual power supply strategy assumes primary thermal energy generation via gas-fired generation supported by lower capacity diesel generation and is intended to be supplemented by renewable energy sources (potential for a solar micro-grid solution). There will be consideration for expandability when designing the power station, switchboard and site layout to allow for additional thermal engines, battery containers, solar and / or wind generation. Contract options with lower capital will be assessed against a reduced levelised cost of energy. The power solution is expected to be refined during subsequent study phases.

Water Supply

  • Raw Water

The water requirement during the Mt Mulgine project is estimated to be between 0.4 – 0.6 GL/Mtpa for a 6 Mtpa operation, depending on raw water balance strategies employed by the project. Thus, required capacity is expected to range from 2.4 – 3.6 GL/a at 6 Mtpa. It is anticipated this supply will come from multiple sources including fractured rock systems on-tenure and palaeochannel systems within 30 km of the project. There are also several regional options, such as allocations in proximal basin systems which can supply substantial volumes of freshwater. This will be further assessed in subsequent study phases.

  • Potable Water

Potable water will be supplied through a containerised water treatment plant, which treats raw water to meet potable standards. The system will be designed to meet the 340 litres per person per day requirement as per AusIMM guidance.

  • Fire Water

Fire protection will be supported by a combined raw and fire water tank, sized to provide sufficient capacity for a single fire scenario lasting four (4) hours. Fire water and fire protection system design will be completed during the next phase of the project.

  • Process Water

Process water will operate within a closed-loop system, distributed across the site via a ring main, drawing supply from the process water storage pond. Make-up water requirements will be supplemented through the raw water supply to maintain system balance.

Transport

Transport infrastructure planning includes site roads and containerised concentrate shipments via Geraldton Port. Staff and contractors will travel by chartered flights to nearby airstrips such as Rothsay. Supplies can be delivered by road (330 km NNE) from Perth or imported through Fremantle or Geraldton.

The project’s main access is via the Warriedar Copper Mine Road, with allowance in the capital estimate for construction of two new roads:

  • A 10 km road to the camp site from Warriedar Copper Mine Road

  • A 5 km re-route of Warriedar Copper Mine Road around the TSF, to maintain access from the south, to the mine and processing plant.

Accommodation

A permanent camp village is proposed approximately 6km south-east of the processing plant. The camp is initially expected to comprise of between 250 - 300 rooms. Construction and temporary facilities are expected to be supported by a potential capacity in neighbouring site accommodation and / or mobile facilities. The permanent camp is expected to expand as operations increase in capacity, therefore have been designed with consideration for expandability.

The camp layout and facilities are expected to include:

  • En-Suite Single Rooms.

  • Storage Building with lockers for off-site personnel

  • Shared Laundry buildings c/w linen and chemicals storage

  • Camp Office Building

  • Male and Female Ablution Blocks

  • Kitchen / Cold Storage / Dry Storage / Dinning Hall

  • Wet Mess with outdoor covered seating area

  • Recreational / Gymnasium Block

  • All weather Walkway System

  • Carpark and bus stop

  • Area Lighting and electrical distribution system

  • Technical Services Building: supporting mining functions including Mine Management, Mining Engineering, Geology, Planning, Geotechnical, and Surveying.

Capital Cost Estimate

The capital and operating cost estimates were prepared through a combination of first-principles and benchmarking for the following case:

  • 3 Mtpa Tungsten & Polymetallic Processing Facility & Supporting Project Infrastructure

The estimate was then appropriately scaled to estimate the capital requirement for different plant capacities. These CAPEX numbers did not factor in some pre-production capitalised waste movements that were included in the financial evaluation. The capital cost estimate was developed in-line with AACE Class 4/5 standards, with an expected accuracy of ±50% covering all major project components, including the process plant, supporting process and non-process infrastructure, site facilities, and mining-related infrastructure. Table 24 summarises the capital cost below for some of the key development cases.

Three different contingency factors were applied to the final CAPEX to provide a probabilistic range of possible project CAPEX resulting in a low, medium and high CAPEX estimate for each option. These CAPEX values were used in the financial evaluation to understand the range of expected outcomes.

Operating Cost Estimate

The operating cost estimate was prepared to AACE Class 4/5 standard with an accuracy range of ±50%, using a first-principles based operating cost model including some top-down benchmarking based on comparable projects. Costs were scaled for plant throughput and adjusted for recovery, local conditions, and site specifics. A breakdown of the operating costs associated with both the gold and tungsten operations is summarised below in Table 25. All units are in Australian dollars per tonne (A$/tonne) of ROM feed.

Financial Evaluation

Based on the internal strategic evaluation, the 6 Mtpa and 15 Mtpa tungsten start-up cases were selected as the preferred development options for detailed financial analysis. These options were selected as they provided a reasonable production window balancing economies of scale relative to fixed costs and align with practical equipment sizes. These options also allowed Tungsten mining to evaluate different scenarios of possible market demand.

Financial outcomes are presented in Table 26 and Table 27. Conservative and aggressive cases are presented based on variations in the contingency applied to the capital and operating cost estimates generating a range of outcomes for 6 and 15 Mtpa cases. The OPEX contingency ranges from 0% to 20% and the CAPEX contingency ranges from 25% to 75% for the aggressive and conservative cases respectively. Spot price cases (as at 23[rd] of October 2025) are also presented for reference in Table 27.

Due to the favourable entry point and strong economics, the 6 Mtpa throughput presents as the preferred development case.

Key assumptions supporting the estimates are captured below in Table 28. Price assumptions are based on the Company’s long-term view of commodity prices relative to current spot prices. This will be subject to further assessment in the next phase of work.

Ongoing testwork has indicated strong tungsten recoveries through gravity and flotation, while previous programs successfully produced molybdenum and copper concentrates from five Mulgine Trench lithologies, supporting recovery assumptions. Further testwork is planned to validate.

The basis for product payability is also shown in Table 30 for each product.

Table 30: Payability Basis

Metal Payability % Basis
Tungsten 80% Payability reflects the cost of converting concentrate to APT and aligns with industry norms.
Contracts in the past decade typically use 77–80% of the APT benchmark price. Mt Mulgine’s
concentrate quality supports the upper end of this range.
Molybdenum 85% This accounts for a standard 1% metallurgical loss during roasting and the Platts Price
(approx. 10%-15%). Mt Mulgine’s concentrate falls within acceptable Mo content, justifying
the industry-standard 85% payability.
Copper 95.7% Payability 96.60% if copper content is less than 30%, subject to a minimum 1-unit deduction,
where
𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦% =
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐.𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒%−1%
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐.𝐺𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒%
.
This formula is consistent with industry norms for concentrates below 30% Cu.
Gold 96.5% Based on the expected grade of 52 g/t, which qualifies for up to 98% payability. 96.5% is a
conservative figure used in financial modelling to account for refining losses and contract
variability.
Silver 90% Standard industry rate for silver content is ≥30 g/t, otherwise payability is 0%. Mt Mulgine’s

Funding

The development of the Mt Mulgine Project is expected to be financed through a combination of debt and equity, with the final structure to be determined following completion of the DFS. The Company intends to engage with potential strategic partners, financiers, and investors to secure funding on competitive terms, balancing project leverage and shareholder value. The approach will aim to provide sufficient financial flexibility to support detailed engineering, project development, and construction activities.

To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, pre-production funding in the order of A$358M – A$495M (for the preferred 6 Mtpa case) may be required. There is no certainty that TGN will be able to source that amount of funding when required. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of TGN’s shares. It is also possible that TGN could pursue other value realisation strategies such as a sale, partial sale or joint venture of the Project.

Sensitivity Analysis

Figure 23 and Figure 24 present tornado plots from the sensitivity analysis completed for the 6 Mtpa Aggressive and Conservative cases. The analysis was based on base-case pricing, noting that the current spot price of US$647.5/mtu exceeds the +25% tungsten price scenario (US$425/mtu × 1.25 = US$531/mtu). The results show that project value is most sensitive to movements in the tungsten price, with a ±25% variation producing an NPV range of A$879 – 1,951M, while remaining positive even at US$325/mtu, reflecting tungsten’s contribution of approximately 60% to total project revenue. The next most influential factors are the USD:AUD exchange rate and tungsten recovery. In contrast, the project shows lower sensitivity to molybdenum price and recovery, which account for roughly 20% of revenue, and minimal sensitivity to capital or mining cost variations due to the project’s low strip ratio, high margins, and long mine life. Sensitivity trends are consistent across both the Aggressive and Conservative cases.

Heritage, Environment & Water Management

Extensive heritage and environmental studies completed across the Project provide the Company with strong confidence in its ability to advance development. With ongoing support for environmental studies and well-defined management measures for conservation-significant species, the Company is confident that remaining heritage and environmental approvals can be successfully secured to support project development.

Heritage

Nine ethnographic and archaeological surveys have been undertaken since 2007. Most of the project area has been surveyed; further surveys are required. Several heritage values have been identified within the Project Area. An Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 Section 18 has been granted to remove some of these values; additional s18 may be required to develop the project.

Significant Lands

The Northern half of the Project (M59/425, part of M59/386 and part of E59/1324) is located on the ex-Karara pastoral station which was acquired by Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) (Figure 25) for conservation purposes. East of E59/1324 a section of the ex Warriedar pastoral station has been acquired by DBCA and is proposed to be included in the Thundelarra Conservation Park.

Conservation Significant Area or Communities

Environmental Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are present within the project area. These ESAs are the known location of the Threatened species such as Acacia sulcaticaulis and Malleefowl (Figure 25).

No Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) or Priority Ecological Communities (PECs) were recorded in the Project (Figure 25).The closest PECs were within 5 km and are considered geologically restricted to the Banded Ironstone Formations of the Blue Hills, Warriedar, Pinyalling and Walagnumming ranges and are therefore, given a low likelihood of occurrence within the project.

None of the vegetation at the Project resembles any TEC/PEC communities.

Australian Wetlands Database

No nationally significant wetlands are located within the project area. The closest significant wetland is the Thundelarra Lignum Swamp, located 27 km to the north-east of the project area.

Flora and Vegetation

A total of 296 vascular plant taxa were recorded within the project area, of which 15 were introduced.

A total of 22 conservation-significant flora taxa have been recorded within the project area, one of which is a threatened flora taxa ( Acacia sulcaticaulis). Acacia sulcaticaulis is a locally and regionally significant taxa, which is predominantly known from with project area. In October 2025, the taxa was recorded for the first time outside of the project area.

Seven Priority Flora taxa have been found to be regionally significant but not locally significant. These taxa have a large percentage of records occurring in the vicinity of the project area and have been shown to be more widespread than in the immediate local vicinity. These taxa have a close distribution to the project area, with all records occurring within 150 km of the project area.

Beard Vegetation

Four vegetation associations, including one mosaic, have been mapped within the project area. All four vegetation associations have more than 97% of their pre-European extent remaining, have not been extensively cleared and all have good representation within DBCA-managed lands.

Vegetation Units and Conditions

Seven vegetation units were recorded in the project area, with three considered to have high local and regional significance due to their restricted distribution in the bioregion and forming habitat for restricted significant flora.

The majority of the project is mapped as Excellent (77%) conditions with minor clearing and tracks throughout the tenement. There were some areas of Very Good (19%) and Good (1%) due to roads, the drilling program, exploration and evidence of grazing. The existing airstrip and mine were mapped as Completely Degraded and comprised 3% of the Project.

Terrestrial Fauna

Since 2019, Spectrum Ecology and Western Ecological have completed terrestrial vertebrate fauna survey’s over the Project area. A total of six conservation-significant fauna species or their preferred habitat have been recorded, these being:

  • Gilled Slender Blue-tongue Cyclodomorphus branchialis (BC Act Vulnerable) individual was recorded from a patch of Mixed Shrubland habitat inside the project area,

  • Malleefowl mounds ( Leipoa ocellata ) (EPBC / BC Act Vulnerable) were recorded from Granite Outcropping habitat, which is dominated by dense shrubland and an individual was observed 21 km south west of the project area in suitable dense acacia shrubland habitat,

  • A Peregrine Falcon (BC Act OS) was observed flying over the disused airstrip, and

Secondary evidence (scats) from the Western Spiny-tailed Skink Egernia stokesii badia (EPBC Act Endangered/ BC Act Vulnerable) was recorded from Eucalypt Woodland, 200 m outside the project area.

Short Range Endemic Invertebrates

In 2024, Bennelongia completed a Targeted SRE Invertebrate Fauna survey to build in information previously collected by Spectrum Ecology in 2019-2020. Following this work, 29 SRE taxa have been recorded within the project area. Of these four conservation-significant Shield-backed Trapdoor Spiders where recorded Idiosoma gutharuka (P1), I. clypeatum (P3), I. intermedium (P3) and I. castellum (P4). No Threatened SRE taxa are now believe to occur.

Subterranean Fauna

Stantec undertook a pilot study for subterranean fauna in July 2019. The sampling intensity, in conjunction with the habitat characterisation, was considered sufficient to provide a reliable representation of the subterranean fauna values of the project area.

No stygofauna or troglofauna were recorded in the project area during the field survey. The findings were consistent with the database searches and literature review which revealed no subterranean fauna in the immediate project area. The habitat characterisation also indicated that the project area was not prospective for subterranean fauna.

Ongoing Work:

Ongoing work to support the definition of the flora, fauna values and the distribution of priority and threatened species across the project area is being completed. Work is detailed below:

Flora and Fauna

Integrate Sustainability in conjunction with Terrestrial Ecosystems and Bennelongia are conducting ongoing fauna, flora, and short-range endemic surveys, including targeted vertebrate and subterranean fauna assessments. Several conservation significant species have been identified within the project area. Therefore, approaches to minimise disturbance through drill program redesigns, habitat buffers, strict clearing protocols, supervised and approved ground disturbance have been incorporated and will form part of an active management plan. Further, a regional threatened species survey is planned to commence shortly to understand the density of regional populations outside of the project area.

Mine Waste

Desktop mine waste characterisation is complete, testwork planned for static and kinetic waste geochemical testing for Trench samples.

Water Management

A preliminary mine dewatering assessment has been completed for conceptual tungsten projects. Desktop water supply and surface water/flood assessments have been completed by Hydrologia and Rockwater. Field programs are now being planned to support project water supply, via on/off tenure exploration.

On-Tenure Water Assessment

Current water supply is limited to water obtained from dewatering proposed Mt Mulgine pits. It is expected that between 0.7 to 1.6 GL/annum will be generated, commencing from Year 3 when mining intersects the groundwater potentiometric surface. Supplemented by groundwater from the fractured rock aquifer, expected to be of brackish quality (<1,000 mg/L TDS); however, volumes are likely to be limited (< 1 GL/annum) and unsustainable in the longterm, consistent with typical yields from fractured rock aquifers.

hydrogeological assessment by measuring the yield of prospective water-bearing units within the palaeochannel aquifer, drilling investigation holes and constructing production bores where suitable, undertaking hydraulic testing of the fractured rock aquifer on-tenure, and providing initial assessments of potential groundwater yields.

Off-Tenure Water Assessment

A field program will be conducted to support the Section 5C licence application for an increased groundwater allocation. The program will include air-core drilling to verify the extent of the palaeochannel, along with production bores and monitoring bores. The program aims to deliver an H3-level hydrogeological assessment supported by numerical groundwater modelling. The key objectives of the program are: defining the lithology, geometry, and conducting hydraulic testing of the palaeochannel system.

Approvals

The following approvals are likely to influence the critical path for the project:

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is federal legislation that requires the protection and management of nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities, and heritage places – defined in the EPBC Act as ‘matters of national environmental significance’ (MNES).

The Project may require referral for assessment under the EPBC Act because of the presence of two nationally vulnerable species, which are classified as MNES. The MNES are the Malleefowl ( Leipoa ocellata ) and Western Spiny tailed skink ( Egernia stokesii badia ).

The Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act)

The Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) is the primary legislation that governs environmental impact assessment and protection in Western Australia. Approvals can be required under two sections of the EP Act:

  • Part IV – Environmental Impact Assessment; and

  • Part V – Environmental Regulation (Native Vegetation Clearing Permit, Works Approval and Prescribed Premises Licence).

Assessment under Part IV or Part V is determined by the significance of the environmental impacts. The project has been planned to minimise the overall impact on local environmental values; however, the project does have the potential to be assessed under the Part IV framework.

Should the Project not be assessed under the EP Act IV, all three Part V approvals will be required.

The Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016

The Biodiversity Conservation Act (BC Act) 2016, governs the process for obtaining permission to take threatened flora and fauna protected under the BC Act. Commonly referred to a Licence to take (s40) projects that do not go through the EP Act Part IV process that will remove state listed Threatened Species will need a Licence to take.

The Mining Act 1978

A Mine Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) will be required for the project, submitted to the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE), the regulatory body for mining and energy projects in WA. The MDCP will focus on the management of issues not covered by EP Act Approvals.

Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914

As the project intends to draw from on-tenure water sources as part of the water supply strategy, the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (RIWI Act) will apply, which provides the legislation for managing and allocating all terrestrial water resources in WA. Under the RIWI Act, the Project will require 26D licences (to construct, enlarge, deepen or alter a bore, including those required for dewatering) and 5C licences (to ‘take’ water from an underground source, including for dewatering purposes).

Native Title

The Badimia Peoples lodged a Native Title Claim over the regions surrounding the Project Area 1996 (WC1996/098; WAD6123/198); subsequently this claim was determined to have had Native title Extinguished.

Risks and Opportunities

A comprehensive risk assessment has been completed; a live risk register will be maintained as the project progresses and project definition increases.

The risk assessment methodology outlines each risk, rating them via an agreed upon matrix by likelihood and consequence to determine their overall risk level. Where relevant, prevention and mitigation measures have been identified to reduce either the likelihood or consequence of these risks. The intent is to maintain a proactive approach to risk management and ensure continuous review and improvement throughout the project lifecycle.

Table 31 highlights key risks identified by Tungsten Mining at the current stage of the project.

Table 31: Key Risk Table

contained in mine and process waste.

The risks outlined are not intended to be exhaustive, all the risks identified will be continually managed through the development lifecycle. Strategies to manage the above risks have been identified and the Company plans to address them via the work outlined in the Future Work section.

Opportunities

Key opportunities have been identified for future exploration, resource definition and cost optimisation. Table 32 describes key opportunities identified by the Company.

Table 32: Key Opportunities Table

Descriptor Key Opportunities
Resource growth Increase tungsten and gold inventory through additional exploration. Opportunity to potentially convert the
gold exploration target into an economic resource, supported by further testwork to define recoveries of
transitional and fresh material.
Flowsheet Optimise the overall flowsheet as testwork data becomes more robust.
For example - refining the downstream processing circuits, including processing of the by-products.
Mining Optimise pit schedules and mine designs – opportunities to streamline waste and ore movement. This will
improve with project definition as detailed mine designs and planning is undertaken.
Magnetite
resource
Complete further resource investigation to define and quantify magnetite potential, as initial testwork
indicates the potential recoverability of a high-grade magnetite concentrate.
Infrastructure
strategies
Explore strategies that leverage existing infrastructure at nearby operations to reduce capital costs – such
as airstrips, camp / accommodation and water supply etc.
Operating and
capital costs
Identify opportunities to optimise operating and capital costs, for example, refining the power and water
supply strategy.

About Tungsten Mining NL

Australian tungsten developer, Tungsten Mining NL is an Australian-based resources company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: TGN). Its prime focus is the exploration and development of tungsten projects in Australia.

Through exploration and acquisition, the Company has established a globally significant tungsten resource inventory in its portfolio of advanced mineral projects across Australia. This provides a platform for the Company to become a major player within the global primary tungsten market through the development of low-cost tungsten concentrate production.

About tungsten

Tungsten (chemical symbol W) occurs naturally on Earth, not in its pure form but as a constituent of other minerals, only two of which support commercial extraction and processing - wolframite ((Fe, Mn) WO4) and scheelite (CaWO4).

Tungsten also has the highest melting point of all elements except carbon – around 3400°C - giving it excellent high temperature mechanical properties and the lowest expansion coefficient of all metals. It is a metal of considerable strategic importance, essential to modern industrial development (across aerospace and defence, electronics, automotive, extractive and construction sectors) with uses in cemented carbides, high-speed steels and super alloys, tungsten mill products and chemicals.

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
The large diameter PQ core drill program of 29 holes was
undertaken to obtain core for further metallurgical test work.
No core was sampled or assayed for the drilling program.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools or systems used
The large diameter PQ core drill program was undertaken to
obtain core for further metallurgical test work. No core was
sampled or assayed for the drilling program.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information
The large diameter PQ core drill program was undertaken to
obtain core for further metallurgical test work. No core was
sampled or assayed for the drilling program.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
Holes were pre-collared to the base of oxidation by utilising
the Rig’s RC capability drilling rotary mud before switching to
DD for the collection of PQ core.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed
Core recovery was visually assessed, recorded on drill logs
and considered to be acceptable.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples
The large diameter PQ core drill program was undertaken to
obtain core for further metallurgical test work. No core was
sampled or assayed for the drilling program.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
The large diameter PQ core drill program was undertaken to
obtain core for further metallurgical test work. No core was
sampled or assayed for the drilling program.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
TGN uses specifically designed drill logs for tungsten and
molybdenum mineralisation to capture the geological data.
All core was scanned by Corescan Pty Ltd to map
mineralogical assemblages and textures and this was used
to assign appropriate geometallurgical domains.
All drill data is digitally captured and stored in a central
database

minerals associated with tungsten mineralisation and veining
are recorded. All holes were photographed both as wet core
and under UV light.

intersections logged
All drill holes were logged in full, from the start of PQ core.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
The large diameter PQ core drill program was undertaken to
obtain core for further metallurgical test work. No core was
sampled or assayed as part of the drilling program.
Whole core has been consumed for metallurgical test work,
with assays generated for composites over areas expected

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
Not applicable.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and

No core was sampled or assayed as part of the drilling
program. Suitable compositing techniques, using rotary
splitters were used to generate appropriate samples for
metallurgy
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
No core was sampled or assayed for the drilling program~~.~~For
metallurgy, Tungsten Mining assays samples for a tungsten
suite by XRF. XRF has proven to be a very accurate
analytical technique for a wide range of base metals, trace
elements and major constituents found in rocks and mineral
materials. Glass fusion XRF is utilised for assaying, since it
provides good accuracy and precision; it is suitable for
analysis from very low levels up to very high levels.
Gold was assayed by 40g charge lead collection fire assay
with silver used as secondary collector. Fire assay is
regarded as the preferred method for quantitative gold
analysis.
Molybdenum and silver plus additional elements were
assayed by Fused Bead Laser Ablation ICP-MS. The XRF
disk is laser ablated and the gas formed is introduced to the
Mass Spectrometer, providing an ideal platform for analysis.
The Fused Bead Laser Ablation ICP-MS technique is total
digestion of the sample achieved through the fusion process,
so quantifiable elemental data is produced at detection limits
that are equal if not better than acid digest techniques.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
Downhole geophysical surveys were completed on holes to
collect density, gamma, resistivity and magnetic susceptibility
data. No data was collected for MDD025, MDD031, MDD038,
MDD040 and MDD041 because holes were blocked and/or
had lost drilling equipment in them.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Trench deposit is related to the mineralisation events at
Mt Mulgine associated with the Mulgine Granite - a high-level
leucogranite forming a 2km stock intruding the Mulgine
anticline.
Trench deposit is a large low grade multi-metallic tungsten-
molybdenum-gold-silver-copper resource associated with a
stockwork vein system in a sequence of altered and
metamorphosed volcanics, felsic intrusives and banded Iron
formations. The host rocks to the Trench deposit comprise a
sequence of interlayered mafic to ultramafic volcanics and
banded iron formations dipping 35° to 40° to the northwest
intruded by aplites, microgranites, quartz porphyry and
geisenized sills. The rocks have undergone deformation and
metamorphism to amphibolite facies, followed by retrograde
metamorphism

These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
No Exploration results are being reported.
Holes were designed to appropriately intersect zones of
metallurgical interest as required.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to diagrams in the body of text.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
No Exploration results are being reported.

Commentary

Tungsten Mining undertook a comprehensive metallurgical testwork program on drill core from the 2020 PQ drilling at Mulgine Trench, aimed at validating and simplifying the process flowsheet through gravity and flotation concentration methods. Comminution testing (UCS, Bond work indices, and abrasion index) indicated variable ore hardness and abrasiveness across lithologies. Gravity testwork included dense media separation (DMS) and wet tabling, with DMS showing limited recovery potential, while wet tabling produced encouraging results—achieving up to ~90% WO ₃ recovery in coarser fractions and supporting the adoption of a single-stage gravity circuit for primary concentration.

Complementary flotation testwork achieved strong upgrades of both tungsten and sulfide minerals, with bulk sulfide flotation delivering >10× upgrade and good recoveries of molybdenum (82–99%) and copper (50–70%). Scheelite flotation achieved 71–89% WO ₃ recovery and >24× upgrade, confirming the flowsheet’s suitability for Trench material. Additional magnetic separation testing demonstrated potential for a minor magnetite by-product (~2% mass yield, >68% Fe), and gold leach testing on oxide samples returned excellent extraction (92.5%) under conventional CIL conditions. Collectively, the results confirm that the Mulgine Trench material is amenable to established comminution, gravity, and flotation processes, supporting a simplified and robust processing route.

Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. Tungsten Mining plans to advance Mt Mulgine into Pre-
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
