A.C.N. 648 687 094

Half-Year Report

for the 6 months ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [99 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

The directors of WIN Metals Ltd (“ Company ”) (“ WIN ”) submit herewith the half-year report of WIN and its subsidiaries (“ Group ”) (“ Consolidated Entity ”) for the six months ended 31 December 2025. Pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

Directors

The names of the directors of the company during or since the end of the half-year are:

Mr Johannes Stig (Steve) Norregaard – Appointed 1 July 2021 Mr Andrew Parker – Appointed 1 July 2021 Ms Felicity Repacholi – Appointed 1 July 2021 Mr Scott Perry – Appointed 1 July 2021

All directors have served on the Board for the period 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025.

Principal activities

During the financial period, the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of the exploration and evaluation of resource projects.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Company continued its revitalised focus on gold during the period with the opportune purchase of the Radio Gold Project completed in September 2025. The purchase was made on favourable terms with a strategy aimed towards a production restart scenario set to capitalise on the substantial investment made by previous owners which includes the mine itself on care and maintenance, mining equipment and light vehicles, staff accommodation and a partially built processing facility. WIN immediately got to work with a drill program aimed at evaluating near mine open pit opportunities with some encouraging first pass results leading to a Mineral Resource Estimate announced in January 2026. These initial outcomes provide strong validation for the acquisition and demonstrate the opportunity that WIN seeks to realise.

Building on WIN’s first drill program at its Butchers Creek Gold Project in late 2024 WIN has advanced the Project through early technical studies and an initial scoping study with encouraging results from this announced in November 2025. The Company continues to progress this Project with permitting activities ongoing and a planned drill program at the Golden Crown deposit designed to enable this Resource to be incorporated into an updated feasibility study, which is expected to further reinforce the substantial upside to the initial scoping study outcomes.

The Company completed two capital raisings during the period to support its activities. These placements were well supported by new incoming shareholders and by existing shareholders.

The Company retains its exposure to both nickel and lithium at the Mt Edwards Project with a limited expenditure strategy in place. Of note, a recent uptick in Li and Ni commodity prices and sentiment has been evident in the latter months of the period following Indonesia’s announced intended tightening of supply. The Company maintains its belief in the inherent value of these assets.

Radio Gold Project (WIN 100%)

Project Acquisition:

In September 2025, WIN completed the acquisition of the Radio Gold Mine, located north of Southern Cross in Western Australia, from Top Global Mining Pty Ltd. The transaction included a total cash payment of $500,000 plus GST and share consideration of $400,000 plus GST via the issue of 20 million shares at $0.02 per share. A deferred consideration arrangement also applies, comprising a stepped royalty of 5% of net smelter returns up to the first 18,000 ounces produced, followed by a trailing 1.5% royalty thereafter.

The acquisition included:

  • Modern underground decline access (330m of decline and 200m of ore development)

  • Existing surface ore stockpiles

  • Partially constructed 500ktpa processing facility

  • Operational offices, workshop, underground mining equipment and accommodation facilities

  • Mining Lease M77/633, Prospecting Licence P77/4492, and Miscellaneous Licence L77/81

WIN has rapidly advanced on-ground activities, with a 10m x 10m RC grade control and exploration drilling program to delineate near-surface resources and extend the resource footprint both along strike and down dip of known mineralisation. The results from this drilling have underpinned the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the project to feed into the economic mining studies. In parallel, the Company aims to capitalise on prior infrastructure investment by evaluating options for a fit-for-purpose crushing, grinding, and gravity circuit, including potential leaching of gravity tails to maximise gold recovery.

WIN also plans to systematically evaluate historic prospects across its broader tenure. While many of these prospects are small, high-grade occurrences that may lack standalone development potential, the Company sees significant opportunity to consolidate and unlock value by advancing these assets through targeted exploration and portfolio development.

Exploration and evaluation:

WIN’s first RC drilling program delivered exceptional drilling results at the Radio Gold Project, confirming shallow and depth extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation at the Repeater Prospect, located approximately 100m north of the main Radio mineralised body and now interpreted as its northern continuation, with standout intercepts including 1m @ 33.95g/t Au , 2m @ 30.58g/t Au (including 1m @ 50.8g/t Au) and 1m @ 10.11g/t Au from ~100m, highlighting a system that remains open and largely untested at depth.

Notable intercepts reported during the period include:

  • 2m @ 30.58g/t Au from 25m, including 1m @ 50.8g/t Au (25RDRC108)

  • 1m @ 33.95g/t Au from 27m (25RDRC055)

  • 1m @ 30.65g/t Au from 51m (25RDRC040)

  • 2m @ 13.95g/t Au from 26m (25RDRC037)

  • 1m @ 15.53g/t Au from 36m (25RDRC103)

  • 1m @ 14.00g/t Au from ~70m (25RDRC063)

  • 1m @ 11.40g/t Au from 46m (25RDRC102)

  • 1m @ 10.11g/t Au from ~100m (25RDRC082)

‑ ‑ These results confirm multiple stacked, high grade lodes with down dip continuity and support the interpretation ‑ of a plunging high grade shoot underpinning the maiden MRE at Repeater. The shallow nature of much of the mineralisation, immediately adjacent to existing Radio mine infrastructure, positions Repeater as a potential near ‑ term source of high grade ore for both open pit and potential underground mining scenarios.

Figure 3: Repeater drill section A-'A against preliminary optimised pit shell outline looking northeast (+/- 5m section window)

High-grade mineralisation at Radio extended both down-dip and along strike, including 2m @ 5.21g/t Au from 102m (25RDRC093), located approximately 20m beyond the current 10 Level development, confirming high-grade mineralisation continues south beyond existing mine development and supporting the definition of a maiden Mineral Resource at Repeater.

Mineral Resource Estimate Update:

The updated MRE declared in January 2026 now stands at 345,000 tonnes at 3.70g/t gold for 41,000 ounces , representing a 46% increase in contained ounces compared to the 2018 estimate (see Table 1 below). The increase is driven by WIN’s successful drill program delivering maiden MRE for the Repeater and Radio South and Green Harp domains, which collectively contribute 114,000 tonnes at 3.50g/t gold for 12,800 ounces.

Importantly, approximately half of the updated MRE, being 21,000 ounces are now classified as Indicated , reflecting improved confidence in geological continuity and data quality. Any potential near term development of the Radio Gold Project will remain subject to completion of further technical, economic and regulatory studies, receipt of all required approvals, and a positive production decision. The Company is currently working towards a potential development decision before end of Q2 2026. No Ore Reserves have yet been estimated for the Radio Gold Project and no production target or forecast financial information is being reported at this time.

Butchers Creek Gold Project (WIN 100%, 97% M80/106 & M80/315)

Exploration and Evaluation Activities:

In November 2025, WIN completed a transformational Scoping Study at the Butchers Creek Gold Project, confirming a 9-year Life of Mine with forecast production of approximately 200koz of gold, underpinned by strong operating margins, high-grade feed, and a simple, conventional processing flowsheet delivering robust project economics, based on a conservative gold price assumption of A$5,385 per ounce.

Key outcomes of the Scoping Study include (based on a gold price assumption of A$5,385 per ounce):

  • Life of Mine: 9 years

  • Ore processed: 3.29Mt @ 2.0g/t Au

  • Recovered gold: ~200koz

  • Average production: ~33kozpa during steady state operations

  • Peak production: ~37koz in Year 5

  • Pre-production capital: A$142 million

  • Free cash flow: A$288 million (pre-tax)

  • NPV (8%): A$143 million (pre-tax)

  • IRR: 25% (pre-tax)

  • AISC: A$3,032/oz

  • Payback period: Approximately 3.5 years from commencement of production

WIN Metals Ltd

==> picture [99 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

The Study is based on the Butchers Creek Mineral Deposit Resource only, which demonstrates the potential to develop a conventional gold operation comprising open pit and underground mining supported by a 600ktpa CIL processing plant and associated infrastructure a simple processing flowsheet and an open pit strip ratio of approximately 11.8. The robust financial outcomes reflect strong operating margins derived from high-grade feed, with the Project generating meaningful free cash flow over the Life of Mine at a gold price assumption of A$5,385 per ounce.

The Scoping Study also confirms that the Project benefits from low technical complexity, with no requirement for novel processing methods, and highlights opportunities to further enhance value through optimisation of mine scheduling, potential incorporation of the nearby Golden Crown deposit, and additional resource growth from continued exploration. These opportunities will be assessed as the Project progresses to the next level of technical evaluation.

The Company has commenced preliminary work streams to advance permitting pathways, stakeholder engagement and further technical studies aimed at improving confidence levels and refining development options.

The Scoping Study is a preliminary technical and economic assessment completed to a scoping level of accuracy of approximately ±40% and does not support the estimation of Ore Reserves. The production target is based on a combination of Indicated (approximately 96%) and Inferred (approximately 4%) Mineral Resources. While the inclusion of Inferred Mineral Resources is not material to the financial viability of the Project, there is no certainty that further exploration will result in the conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated or Measured categories.

Mt Edwards Nickel Project (WIN 100%) - Exploration and Evaluation activities

WIN controls a dominant ~240 km[2] land package over the prolific nickel-producing Widgiemooltha Dome in Western Australia. The Mt Edwards Nickel Project is positioned adjacent to key infrastructure, located just 80km south of the major regional centre of Kalgoorlie, 30km south-west of Kambalda and along strike to the north from Wyloo’s Cassini Nickel mine.

The Mt Edwards Nickel Project is comprised of 11 separate deposits with a total MRE of 12.7Mt grading 1.43% nickel for 180,900 tonnes.

In March 2024, the Company released a Scoping Study on the Mt Edwards Nickel Project. WIN Metals commissioned the Scoping Study for the purpose of carrying out a preliminary assessment of the technical and financial viability of a standalone nickel mining and processing operation.

No exploration activities were undertaken at Mt Edwards during the period. Ongoing test work is examining downstream options to produce nickel sulphate or NCM battery precursor (pCAM), with these studies expected to guide the project’s future direction.

Corporate

December 2025 Placement Capital Raising Completed for $5.5m

On 12 December 2025, WIN successfully completed a A$5.5 million capital raising through the issue of 157,142,857 new fully paid ordinary shares at A$0.035 per share, together with one free attaching option for every two shares issued in February 2026 following receipt of shareholder approval received at a General Meeting held on 28 January 2026. The options are listed and are exercisable at $0.07 per share with a two-year expiry. The placement was oversubscribed and strongly supported by existing and new sophisticated investors. GBA Capital acted as Lead Manager to the placement.

These funds will be applied to the second phase of drilling and resource definition activities at the Radio Gold Project, drilling and evaluation work at the Golden Crown deposit to support future studies at the Butchers Creek Gold Project, and general working capital to support the Company’s growth strategy.

August 2025 Placement Capital Raising Completed for $2.35m

In August 2025 WIN Metals successfully completed an oversubscribed Placement on 26 August 2025, raising gross proceeds of A$2.35 million through the issue of 117,514,599 shares at A$0.02 per share. Subsequently following receipt of shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 November 2025, the Company issued one attaching unlisted option for every two shares issued under the Placement. These options are exercisable at A$0.04 each and will expire two years from the date of issue.

Funds from the Placement were utilised for the acquisition and first phase of drilling at the newly acquired Radio Gold project, evaluation and study works on the Butchers Creek project and general working capital.

Divestment of Non-Core Assets for $0.5m

As announced on 9 September 2025, WIN finalised the sale of non-core assets to Auric Mining Ltd, including the divestment of nickel interests in the Munda tenement (M15/87). A final payment of $500,000 was received from Auric in November 2025. The Munda nickel deposit was not part of WIN’s short or medium-term development plans for Mt Edwards, and this transaction unlocks latent value for WIN while preserving the bulk of its nickel resource at Mt Edwards, enabling greater focus on advancing gold assets at Radio, Butchers Creek and pursuing new growth opportunities.

Future Work

A follow up drill program is planned at Radio for quarter 1 2026 to evaluate the full extent of the mineralisation at Repeater and to infill the resource of Radio main to assist in advancing the technical and economic evaluation of development of the Project and targeting a potential development decision by end of Q2 2026.

In addition, drilling is planned at the Butchers Creek Gold Project, Golden Crown deposit. A resultant upgraded resource at Golden Crown to complement a preliminary feasibility study on the Butchers Creek Project leading to an expected substantial improvement to the project outcomes, along with associated development permitting activities and approvals.

We draw attention to Note 2 in the half-year financial report which indicates that the Group has incurred losses of $2,037,729 (31 Dec 2024: $32,543,180 which includes a $30,823,857 impairment loss) and experienced net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $3,723,731 (31 Dec 2024: $2,485,898) for the half-year ended 31 December 2025. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Half-year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the halfyear financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

1. General information

WIN Metals Ltd was incorporated on 15 March 2021. The Company is incorporated in Western Australia, Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code WIN. The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are mineral exploration. WIN Metals Ltd is the ultimate parent of the Group. WIN Metals Ltd changed its name from Widgie Nickel Limited on 1 July 2024.

Registered office and principal place of business

Level 4, 220 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000

2. Material accounting policy information

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general-purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. This financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial report and ASX announcements.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company’s 2025 annual financial report for the financial period ended 31 December 2025. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

New accounting standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Boards (“AASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. These standards did not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred losses of $2,037,729 (31 Dec 2024: $32,543,180 loss which included a $30,823,857 impairment of capitalised exploration expenditure) and experienced net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $3,723,731 (31 Dec 2024: $2,485,898) for the half year ended 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $5,934,378 (30 June 2025: $2,340,394).

The directors recognise that additional funding is required to meet the Group’s budgeted ongoing exploration and evaluation activities. The Company expects its focus and majority of its expenditure to be directed at its gold assets; the newly acquired Radio Gold Project and its Butchers Creek Gold Project. Expenditure on the Company’s Mt Edwards Project continues to be tightly managed primarily comprised of some low scale test work and evaluation, tenement holding costs and other expenditure towards meeting minimum expenditure commitments.

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which assumes progressing the Radio Gold Project and its Butchers Creek exploration program in line with the Group’s strategic focus towards development decisions. The cashflow forecast for the period ending 31 March 2027 indicates a minimum funding of $4.9 million, excluding any Project development costs, will be

23

WIN Metals Ltd

==> picture [99 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

required over this period, progressively from June 2026, by way of equity, debt or other potential sources of funding such as the further partial divestment of the Group’s mineral rights.

As the Group moves towards potential investment decisions for the Radio Gold Project before the end of Q2 2026, the cash flow forecast will be revised to include development costs and additional funding needs beyond the minimum funding noted above.

Should the Group be unable to achieve the additional funding referred to above, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Refer to note 3 for a discussion of critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies, and key sources of estimation uncertainty.

3. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policie ~~s,~~ management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

3.1 Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies

The following are the critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(a) Recovery of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group capitalises exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred on ongoing projects. The recoverability of this capitalised exploration expenditure is entirely dependent upon returns from the successful development of mining operations or from surpluses from the sale of the projects or the subsidiary companies that control the projects. At the point that it is determined that any capitalised exploration expenditure is definitely not recoverable, it is written off.

(b) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments granted are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of share options is measured by use of an appropriate option pricing model and requires substantial judgement.

The fair value of performance rights issued during the period was made with reference to the Company’s closing share price on the date of grant. Management has been required to estimate the probability that the Company will meet the performance criteria determined by the board.

4. Acquisition of the Radio Gold Project – Asset Acquisition

On 23 September 2025 the Company completed the acquisition of the mining tenure and asset package known as the Radio Gold Project from Top Global Mining Pty Ltd. The acquisition of the tenement package comprises a mining lease M77/633, prospecting licence EP77/4492 and a miscellaneous licence L77/81. Other assets acquired include freehold land and buildings in the township of Bullfinch in addition to fixed mining and mining related infrastructure at the Radio gold mine and various mobile mining equipment and light vehicles.

The acquisition of the assets meets the definition of, and has been accounted for, as an asset acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the individual assets based on their relative fair values at the date of the acquisition. Assets acquired have been initially measured at cost including any directly attributable transaction costs. No goodwill nor deferred tax arises on the acquisition.

Consideration for the transaction at completion comprised the following:

  • I. $500,000 + GST in cash; and

  • II. WIN Shares to the value of $400,000 (calculated based on a deemed issue price per WIN Share of $0.02)

Deferred consideration contingent on gold production from the project comprises a stepped royalty, representing 5% of the net smelter returns from the sale of gold, calculated in line with the WA State Gold Royalty methodology, up to the production of 18,000 ounces, with a trailing 1.5% Royalty thereafter in perpetuity from the sale of gold mined from Radio.

  • Underlying share price: $0.04 to $0.045
Risk-free interest rate: 3.81% to 3.93%
Dividend yield: 0%
Expected volatility: 100%

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that historical volatility for companies of a similar type to WIN over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the case.

The recovery of exploration expenditure carried forward is dependent upon the discovery of commercially viable mineral and other natural resource deposits, their development and exploration, or alternatively their sale.

- Prior year Impairment of Mt Edwards nickel and lithium assets

At the half-year period ended 31 December 2024 the Company assessed the carrying amounts for its nickel and lithium assets. During the preceding twelve months the Company had shifted its focus towards gold assets through the acquisition of the Butchers Creek Gold Project and has allocated the majority of its attention and resources to this Project which the Company currently sees as most prospective for commercial success. In light of this the Company reviewed the carrying amount for its nickel and lithium assets in considering the market conditions and outlook for those commodities and determined accordingly to reduce the carrying value of those assets down to $7,500,000 resulting in an impairment charge of $30,823,857 being recognised during the reporting period. The Company estimated the fair value less costs of disposal ('FVLCOD') of the nickel and lithium exploration and evaluation assets with reference to comparable market activity.

13. Commitments and contingent liabilities

(a) Exploration and evaluation and associate commitments

Annual Tenement expenditure commitments for the group total $2,453,820 (31 Dec 2024: $2,524,040). These costs include the annual statutory rent and rates commitments which are expected to be met in the ordinary course of business. The annual expenditure commitment is expected to be met by the Company and other third-party tenement interest holders.

(b) Royalties

Various royalty agreements exist over certain portions of the Company’s tenement interests. The payment and amount of the royalties is contingent on commodity produced, levels of production and other factors. Royalties are brought to account by the Company when they are confirmed as due and payable.

Refer to note 4 for details of the contingent royalty payable over the Radio Gold Project from future gold production from the Project. At balance date, given the stage of the Project’s development any associated provision cannot be reliability measured and therefore no liability has been recognised.

(c) Contingent acquisition consideration

An additional $1,250,000 + GST is payable to Meteoric Resources NL as deferred consideration for the acquisition of the Butchers Creek Gold Project. The payment is contingent upon the production by the Company of 20,000 troy ounces of gold (in aggregate) at the Project. At balance date, given the stage of the Project’s development any associated provision cannot be reliability measured and therefore no liability has been recognised.

14. Reserves

The share-based payments reserve arises on the grant of share options and performance rights for the provision of services by Directors, employees and consultants under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (EIP), and to other parties for services provided. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the Options are exercised or when shares are issued pursuant to the terms of the performance rights.
