South Harz Executive Chairman Mr Len Jubber, commented:

“With our recent capital raising initiatives completed, South Harz is now focused on advancing its dual-asset strategy and securing a second project to complement our South Harz Potash Project. During the September quarter, we made strong progress in reviewing new asset opportunities, with initial focus on projects located in Europe and the UK. This process will accelerate throughout the December quarter as we work to narrow down the most suitable additions to our portfolio.

“In Germany, we remain committed to preserving and enhancing the long-term value of the South Harz Project. Despite the current weakness in the potash market, we are confident in the project’s future potential as conditions improve. We continue to pursue funding opportunities to support our operations in Germany, while maintaining and strengthening the relationships we have established with local stakeholders and the broader community.”

Dual-Asset Strategy

The South Harz Board is pursuing a dual-asset strategy through a targeted and aligned second asset acquisition and advancement, leveraging on its existing corporate foundation and established presence in Europe and Australia, with a disciplined focus from a proven (existing and new) team with suitable capability.

During the quarter, South Harz advanced this process, with a number of new asset opportunities currently under review, including site visits.

Simultaneously, the Company believes that “strategic patience” is required in relation to its potash assets, as the current depressed potash price remains a key factor in the relatively low valuation that the ASX market is attributing to its South Harz Potash Project. This approach includes targeting minimal holding costs for the South Harz Potash Project, which benefits from perpetual tenure. South Harz is well placed to advance the Ohmgebirge Development following the completion of the PFS, first level of permitting (Spatial Planning Assessment) and Base Line Environmental Study in 2024.

South Harz’s dual-asset strategy over the next 9-12 months comprises:

  • i. Identification and targeted acquisition of a second mining project complementary to the Company’s South Harz Potash Project.

  • ii. Preservation and growth in the longer-term option value of Ohmgebirge and the broader South Harz Potash Project via targeted additional funding sources such as German and European government grants/rebates and ongoing engagement with financial and industry parties on potential strategic asset-level investment.

South Harz Potash Project

During the quarter, South Harz’s corporate and operational activities focused on aligning its in-country presence and organisational capability in Germany with its “strategic patience” approach in regard to its potash assets.

The substantially reduced level of activities in Germany has resulted in South Harz no longer currently requiring an in-country executive presence. As such, Regional Director Dr Babette Winter will be leaving South Harz at the end of October 2025. The Board wishes to thank Babette for her significant contribution to the Company, including the many relationships she established with key German stakeholders, which the Company will continue to maintain and wishes her well in future endeavours.

To that end, the offices in Erfurt and Holungen were consolidated into one office located in Bernterode. The office in Bernterode is located in close proximity to the proposed location of the Ohmgebirge processing plant and immediately adjacent to the Bernterode shaft located in the Sollstedt mining licence.

South Harz continues to pursue a range of potential non-dilutive funding sources to advance the South Harz Project, including its German R&D tax rebate application, and ongoing engagement with financial and industry parties on potential strategic asset-level investment. The Company has proceeded to the second stage of the R&D tax rebate process. The second stage determination is expected to be completed during the December 2025 quarter, with South Harz’s potential cash refund ranging between A$400,000 and A$650,000.

During the quarter, the Company advised that it had been informed by the European Raw Materials Alliance ( ERMA ) that the Company’s application has been unsuccessful as potash is not currently considered a European Union ( EU ) critical raw material. South Harz will continue to advocate for potash to be included in the list of critical raw materials, as well as seek opportunities to gain support from other EU funding agencies to advance the South Harz Potash Project.

Potash added to United States Critical Minerals List

The United States became the latest country to recognise potash as a critical mineral, with its inclusion in the draft 2025 US Critical Minerals List released by the US Geological Survey ( USGS ) in August 2025[1] . The addition of potash followed modelling of supply-chain vulnerabilities, which showed that the USA imports more than 90% of its potash, primarily from Canada.

According to USGS, the USA is now prioritising agricultural supply chains with the same strategic weight as energy transition and defence minerals due to increasing geopolitical and trade risks in the fertiliser market.

Canada, the world’s largest producer and exporter of potash, has previously recognised potash as a critical mineral, with it retained in its 2024 list.

The inclusion of potash as a critical mineral by both North American nations is an important international development as the importance of food security increases globally.

The Entitlement Offer was also strongly supported by South Harz Directors who took up entitlements as follows:

  • A$67,856 (22,618,728 shares and 11,309,364 options) of entitlements subscribed for by Rory Luff (NonExecutive Director) through his related entities;

  • A$8,000 (2,666,670 shares and 1,333,335 options) of entitlements subscribed for by Reinout Koopmans (Non-Executive Director); and

The commitments include the following:

  • Commitments of A$110,000 in gross new equity for 36,666,668 Shortfall Shares and 18,333,335 options.

  • Commitments by Directors to take up A$70,000 worth of Director Shares (subject to approval at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting) as follows:

  • Executive Chairman Len Jubber committed to A$50,000 of new equity representing 16,666,665 shares and 8,333,331 options).

The Company held a General Meeting of shareholders on 15 August 2025, at which all resolutions were passed.

Share Consolidation

Following gaining shareholder approval at the 15 August 2025 General Meeting, South Harz implemented a consolidation of its issued share capital on a 1 for 15 basis on 20 August 2025.

Cash

South Harz’s cash balance at 30 September 2025 was A$0.989 million (A$0.547 million at 30 June 2025).The Company has proceeded to the second stage of its German R&D tax rebate process. The second stage determination is expected to be completed during the December 2025 quarter, with South Harz’s potential cash refund ranging between approximately A$400,000 to A$650,000.

South Harz continues to focus on streamlining its corporate, general and administrative overheads expenditure. As previously stated, the current quarter has included the payment of Ohmgebirge residual costs and outstanding creditors, which were higher than anticipated for future quarters, owing to the timing of payments.

Looking ahead to the remainder of FY26, the Company expects that Ohmgebirge Project related payments will reduce substantially in comparison to FY25, with discretionary project spend dependent upon receipt of funding from the various initiatives currently being undertaken.

Creditor Balances
Trade payables balances were owing to two creditors of the Company’s wholly-owned
German subsidiary, Südharz Kali GmbH (SHK) totalling $1,406,704 (€784,772) as at 30
June 2025. The outstanding invoices relate to engineering services provided to SHK for the
Ohmgebirge Pre-Feasibility Study by K-Utec AG Salt Technologies (K-Utec) and
ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau GmbH (Ercosplan). SHK has
paid interest to these creditors at 5% per annum on the amount owed on a monthly basis,
which will continue until the debts have been repaid.
On 20 August 2025, pursuant to an agreement reached in the June 2025 quarter, the
Company issued K-Utec with 152,327,000 new shares and 76,163,500 attaching options in
the Company as part of Tranche 2 of its share placement announced on 30 June 2025. The
amount of A$456,981 owing by K-Utec on this subscription (representing €260,381 owed)
was partially offset against the outstanding balance of €309,861 owed to K-Utec by the
Company upon the issue of shares, with the residual balance of €49,480 paid in cash by the
Company to K-Utec on 27 August 2025 in full settlement of the debt owing to K-Utec.
The company and Ercosplan had agreed non-binding terms during the financial year ended
30 June 2025 to defer the repayment of invoices owing, totalling €474,911 ($851,278) as at
30 June 2025, until 31 December 2026 on the basis that the Company continues to pay
interest monthly at a rate of 5% per annum on the balance owed, and the grant by the
Company of a first ranking mortgage over its interest in the Ebeleben mining lease in
Thuringia, Germany, as security for the amount owed. In July 2025 the parties signed
binding agreements to reflect these arrangements.

If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net
operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
(715)
-
(715)
989
-
989
Answer: No. As previously announced Company has moved to a lower cost structure as a
result of initiatives to further reduce its corporate, general and administrative
costs.
As previously advised, the current quarter has seen the payment of Ohmgebirge
residual costs and creditors which are higher than expected in future quarters
due to the timing of payments, including for technical and business running costs
including project internal value engineering and submissions for supplementary
funding sources (as referred to in ASX announcement_ENTITLEMENT ISSUE_
_PROSPECTUS_dated 30 June 2025).
Looking forward to the FY26 financial year as a whole, Ohmgebirge project
related payments will reduce substantially in comparison to FY25, with
discretionary project spend dependent upon receipt of funding received from the
various funding initiatives being undertaken.

12

==> picture [135 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

Answer: Yes. As previously advised, the Company undertook capital raising activities over the period from June to August 2025 where it has announced that it received gross equity commitments of $2.58m (of which $1.96m is cash) from a total targeted gross equity of $3.11m (of which $2.49m is cash).

In addition, as previously announced the Company is expecting the receipt of funds of around $400-650k in the December 2025 quarter following the first stage approval of the Company’s recent application for German R&D tax rebates.

8.8.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?

Answer: Yes. The Company believes, as shown by its current fund raising activities as set out above that it has the ability to raise the funds needed to meet its business objectives.

Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
