The Project area is situated on predominantly cleared agricultural land with limited remnant native vegetation and minimal surface disturbance, estimated at approximately 300 hectares. The site lies within the Macquarie–Bogan River Catchment. Aeris Resources Limited operates the Tritton Copper Operations with ore sourced from surrounding deposits on Aeris tenements and transported to Tritton for processing. The Constellation Project represents a proposed new ore source within this operating framework, extending the life of the existing Tritton infrastructure. The Project proposes the development of an open pit and potential subsequent underground mine to extract copper ore. Ore from Constellation will be hauled to the Tritton processing facility via existing road networks where practicable. Lower-grade ore will be stockpiled onsite for future treatment options. Progressive rehabilitation will be undertaken throughout the life of the Project, with final landforms designed to be safe, stable, and suitable for post-mining agricultural use. Given the modest disturbance footprint, the Project is expected to have a limited surface impact while contributing significantly to the sustainability and longevity of the Tritton Copper Operations. 4 Figure 1. Constellation Project Locality. 5 Study Status The Constellation ORE has been derived from a comprehensive mining technical study completed to Pre-Feasibility Study level for an initial open pit operation. The study builds upon previous studies and incorporates updated geological, resource, geotechnical, metallurgical, and economic inputs. The current work included detailed pit optimisation, strategic scheduling, pit stage designs and trade-off analysis to assess potential open pit and underground transition options. This was followed by the design of the preferred open pit stages, waste rock storage facility, and rehabilitation concept, together with a fully integrated Life-of-Mine (LOM) schedule. Ore mined from the Constellation open pit will be processed through the existing Tritton Copper Operations, leveraging established processing, logistics, and product handling infrastructure. As such, downstream processing, transport, and marketing aspects of the Project are supported by a high level of confidence, exceeding typical PFS standards. The PFS demonstrates that the proposed mine plan is technically achievable and economically viable, and all material Modifying Factors have been appropriately considered in the estimation and classification of the Ore Reserve. Geology and Mineral Resource Estimate Local Geology The Constellation deposit is hosted within the early to mid-Ordovician meta-sedimentary sequence of the Girilambone Group, comprising highly deformed and strongly foliated sandstones (psammites), quartzite, pelites, phyllite, chert, and graphitic shales, with lesser mafic units. Regional metamorphism is of lower- to middle-greenschist facies, characterised by abundant quartz, muscovite, chlorite, and minor epidote. Altered Alpine- and Alaskan-type ultramafic bodies occur to the east of the region, while north–northwest-trending, post-orogenic monzodiorite intrusions crosscut the older metasedimentary sequences. The area has undergone a complex deformation history, resulting in the development of multiple shear zones, faults, and folding events, with two prominent foliations evident across the deposit. The Constellation deposit shares strong geological similarities with other copper deposits within the Tritton Copper Operations tenure, including the Tritton (+20 Mt) and Murrawombie (+15 Mt) deposits. These mineralised systems are typically constrained by structural and lithological elements and form pipe-like bodies. Deposits in the area, including Constellation, appear to correlate with zones of structural complexity, with evidence that mineralisation occurred late in the structural history. Folding and faulting in these structural domains have allowed for dilation and transport of enriched fluids to precipitate copper +/- gold +/- silver mineralisation within modified lithologic and structurally controlled positions. Mineralisation Style Mineralisation at Constellation comprises massive, banded to disseminated sulphides, dominated by pyrite, chalcopyrite, and minor pyrrhotite in the primary zones. Distinct oxide and supergene mineralised horizons are also well developed: 6  In the oxide domain, copper occurs primarily as malachite and azurite, with minor chrysocolla and native copper.  The underlying supergene zone is dominated by chalcocite, with variable amounts of pyrite and minor chalcopyrite, plus subordinate malachite/azurite. The highest copper grades are typically associated with quartz-rich breccia zones infilled by chalcopyrite and within chalcocite-dominant supergene domains. Deposit Geometry and Continuity The Constellation mineralised system plunges moderately (~30°) to the south-east and comprises two structural zones:  A main zone dipping moderately to the east, and  A steeper “stand-up” zone to the north, dipping to the south. The change in orientation is interpreted to be shear- and fold-related. The mineralised system has been delineated over a 1,100-metre down-plunge extent and up to 300 metres along strike, remaining open down-plunge. Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys have identified two large conductive bodies extending below the base of existing drilling, providing strong encouragement that the mineralised system remains open down-plunge and along both the northern and southern boundaries. 7 Figure 2 – Long section looking west showing the modelled copper mineralised domains and drill hole intercepts (Cu assays). 8 Drilling, Sampling and Data Quality Exploration and resource definition drilling at the Constellation Project has been completed using a combination of Reverse Circulation (RC), Diamond Drilling (DD), and RC pre-collars with diamond tails (RCD). Only assays derived from these drilling methods were used in the data informing the Constellation Mineral Resource Estimate3. In total, 264 drillholes comprising 110 RC holes and 154 diamond holes, for an aggregate 52,012 metres of drilling, were used in the resource dataset. Of this, 42,795 metres (82%) were diamond core. Drilling was carried out by DRC Drilling and Durock Drilling under contract to Aeris Resources Limited. Near-surface drilling (to approximately 200 metres depth) was predominantly completed by RC on nominal 25–30 m × 25–30 m spacing, while deeper drilling was completed by diamond core on 40–80 m × 80–100 m spacing. The combination of drilling techniques and spacing provides adequate definition of mineralisation geometry and grade continuity to support Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource classification. Sampling and Sample Preparation Diamond drill core was generally sampled on 1 metre intervals, although sample boundaries were adjusted to align with geological contacts, sulphide textures, and visible copper mineralisation. Sample lengths ranged from 0.2 m to 1.4 m. All core was cut along the axis, with one half submitted for assay and the other retained for reference. Samples weighing more than 3 kg were crushed using a Boyd crusher (90% passing 2 mm), rotary split to a 2–3 kg sub-sample, and pulverised in an LM5 mill to achieve 80% passing 75 µm. Samples under 3 kg were crushed in a jaw crusher (70% passing 6 mm) and the entire sample pulverised in an LM5 mill. A 300 g sub-sample was taken from the pulverised material for analysis. RC samples were collected at 1 m intervals from the cyclone splitter. Sample recoveries for the RC program averaged greater than 90%, as visually estimated at the drill rig. Based on observed geology, 1 m samples were collected within and proximal to mineralised zones, while background intervals were composited to 4 m. A comprehensive QA/QC program was implemented, incorporating certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates. Reference standards and blanks were inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 samples. Duplicate samples were collected from RC drilling at regular intervals to assess assay repeatability. The QA/QC results confirm that the sampling and analytical processes provide a high level of confidence in data accuracy and precision. Assaying and Analytical Methods All samples were dispatched to a certified commercial laboratory for multi-element analysis. A variety of analytical methods have been used that are summarised in the ASX announcement “Material Increase in Copper and Gold at Constellation” dated 31st March 2025. 3 Refer to ASX Announcement “Material Increase in Copper and Gold at Constellation” dated 31st March 2025, 9 Geological Interpretation and Modelling The geological interpretation for the Constellation deposit is well constrained by the close- spaced drilling and detailed geological logging of lithology, alteration, mineralisation, and structure. The deposit comprises two primary structural zones — a moderately east-dipping main zone and a steeper northern “stand-up” zone, both of which host copper–gold–silver mineralisation. Geological domains were modelled based on 1 m composited assay intervals, supported by detailed structural and lithological logging. Estimation domains were established for copper, gold, silver, sulphur, iron, and density, based on statistical and spatial analysis of grade distributions. Copper mineralisation domains were defined using 0.1% Cu grade shells in oxide material, and 0.3% Cu grade shells in supergene and primary sulphide zones, with using sequential copper data. Weathering surfaces were generated from drill hole logs. Sulphur and iron were modelled as correlated variables within the same domains. Resource Estimation Methodology All data validation, QA/QC review, geological modelling, and grade estimation were completed internally by Aeris Resources Limited. Data from the exploration and resource definition drilling programs are securely stored and validated within the company’s acQuire database. Copper, gold, silver, sulphur, iron, and density were estimated using Ordinary Kriging (OK) within a block model constructed with parent block dimensions of 10 m (E) × 10 m (N) × 5 m (RL). Sub-blocks down to 1 m × 1 m × 1.25 m were used to ensure accurate representation of mineralisation boundaries and volume control. Kriging neighbourhood analysis was undertaken to define optimal block and search parameters. The application of a top-cut was considered for each estimation domain (mineralised and background) for all elements. Most estimation domains applied a top-cut to exclude outlier high grades. The assessment of top-cuts was completed through statistical analyses (histogram distribution, lognormal probability plots, and summary statistics) and by reviewing the spatial location, continuity, and continuity of grade trends. All contacts are treated as hard domain boundaries based on reviewing grade trends between adjoining estimation domains. Different search parameters and variogram models were used as deemed appropriate for the specifics of each estimation domain. Model Validation The block model was validated through multiple approaches, including:  Visual comparison of estimated block grades with composite grades in section and plan;  Statistical comparison of declustered composites and model grades within each domain; and  Trend (swath) plots of easting, northing, and elevation to confirm the model reproduces local grade trends. 10 The validation process confirmed the block model provides an accurate and unbiased representation of the underlying data and geological interpretation. Mineral Resource Classification The Constellation Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)4 has been classified as Indicated and Inferred in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition). Classification is based on drill spacing and confidence in the geological interpretation and grade estimation.  Indicated Mineral Resource: Defined within areas drilled on spacing up to 40 m × 40 m, with a good understanding of the geology and copper grade continuity.  Inferred Mineral Resource: Assigned to areas drilled at a broader spacing of up to 80 m along strike and 100 m down-dip. Geological understanding is appropriate at the domain scale, and there is some understanding of mineralisation between drillholes. The classification reflects a robust understanding of the geology and mineralisation, supporting its use in mine planning and subsequent Ore Reserve estimation. 4 Refer to ASX Announcement “Material Increase in Copper and Gold at Constellation” dated 31st March 2025, 11 Mineral Resource Basis This Maiden Ore Reserve estimate has been prepared as a subset of this Mineral Resource reporting only mineralisation classified as Indicated Resource within the reserve pit design as shown in Figure 3. That is, the Ore Reserves is not additional to the Mineral Resource. Figure 3.

Isometric view looking north showing the March 2025 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Copper grade distribution plus the Ore Reserve pit stages Mining Factors The mining components of the study included detailed pit optimisation, strategic scheduling, pit stage designs and trade-off analysis to assess potential open pit and underground transition options. This was followed by the design of the preferred open pit stages and the waste rock storage facility, including rehabilitation concept. Pit Optimisation Parameters Cut-off inputs Economic cut-off grades were determined using a Net Smelter Return (NSR) methodology, which accounts for revenue contributions from copper, gold, and silver, and incorporates all costs associated with road haulage to the Tritton mill, processing, site overheads, realisation, and government royalties. The following economic parameters were used in the NSR calculations for the pit optimisations: Parameter Value Copper price US$10,377/t (~US$4.71/lb) Gold price US$2,797/oz Silver price US$34/oz Exchange rate AUD 1.00 = USD 0.682 13 Metallurgical inputs Supergene and sulphide ore types were considered in the pit optimisations. Oxide ore type was ignored. The average metallurgical recovery and payable factors adopted for the pit optimisation were as follows:  Copper: 94.5% supergene & sulphide  Gold: 86.7% supergene, 87.1% sulphide  Silver: 34.7% supergene, 83.1% sulphide  Deduction and payabilities are aligned with current Tritton offtake agreements.  No deleterious elements have been identified at concentrations likely to incur smelter penalties. Cost inputs Mining costs were derived from benchmark data for current Aeris managed open pit operations within the Tritton district, using similar equipment classes and local conditions. Processing and realisation costs were based on actual operating figures from the Tritton operations, adjusted for haulage distance. Mining Method and Mine Design Mining of the Constellation open pit will utilise conventional open cut hard-rock mining methods, employing hydraulic excavators and rigid off-highway haul trucks consistent with other Aeris open pit operations in the region. The Ore Reserve open pit design was based on the selected shell from the pit optimisations. It exhibits a relatively high life-of-mine strip ratio averaging 34:1 and is therefore predominantly a bulk waste mining operation. Mining will be undertaken on 10 m benches, with 5 m flitches applied around ore zones to enhance selectivity and ore control.

Plan view showing the 6 pit stages plus the waste rock storage facility. Geotechnical Detailed geotechnical site investigations and analysis to a Feasibility Study standard were conducted by PSM Geotechnical and Engineering Services. Geotechnical parameters were derived from geotechnical analysis of the following data sources:  Nearby open pit experience from four of Aeris owned open pits in similar conditions approximately 25km south-east of the Constellation deposit, including the Larsens, Hartmans, North-East and Murrawombie Pits.  3D geological models including ore, weathering and fault models,  Borehole data including 29 diamond core holes that were located in favourable locations to assess the conditions of the open pit.  Groundwater data including open standpipes, piezometers, falling head tests and packer testing.  Geotechnical laboratory testing. The resulting recommended design parameters are:  Bench Angles: Vary between 60° and 75°, with most sectors at 75°, except two sectors at 70° and 60°.  Berm Widths: Range from 6 m to 9 m depending on sector.  Berm Heights: Typically 10 m, except one sector with 20 m berm height.  Inter-Ramp Angles: Range from approximately 45.3° to 57.9°, with values specific to each sector.

Showing distribution of variable design parameters across different slope design sectors. 17 Mining widths and Dilution The mineralisation geometry varies significantly across the deposit, from sub-vertical to moderately plunging zones, and more flat-lying domains in localised areas. True ore thicknesses range from less than 2 m to over 20 m, and a minimum selective mining unit (SMU) of 4 m has been assumed for design and scheduling purposes. Mining shapes were developed to capture only Indicated Mineral Resources for inclusion in the Ore Reserve. Each ore domain was modelled to preferentially include minor dilution rather than risk ore loss. Inferred Resources, unclassified mineralisation, and internal waste have been included as planned dilution within the recoverable ore shapes. An additional 0.5 m of unplanned dilution was applied to all ore contacts, resulting in total dilution ranging between 11% and 41%, averaging 16%. The contact wall rocks are generally mineralised, and as such, no net metal loss is expected from dilution material. Metallurgical Investigations and Processing Assumptions Metallurgical Testwork and Ore Domains Comprehensive metallurgical testwork programs have been undertaken under the supervision of Aeris Resources Limited by independent commercial metallurgical laboratories. Testing has been conducted on samples representing all major mineralisation styles within the Constellation deposit, including oxide, supergene, transitional, and primary sulphide domains. Test samples were selected to capture the range of copper, gold and silver grades, mineralogy, and geotechnical characteristics across the deposit, and are considered representative of future mill feed. The Constellation mineralisation comprises massive to disseminated sulphides containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, and minor pyrrhotite in the primary zone, with well-developed oxide and supergene horizons. Oxide mineralisation is dominated by malachite and azurite with minor chrysocolla and native copper, while the supergene zone is dominated by chalcocite. Figure 8.

Samples were selected from multiple domains and elevations to ensure representativeness of both open pit and underground mining areas. Metallurgical Classification Basis For ore classification and recovery modelling, three metallurgical domains have been defined:  Oxide zone (malachite–azurite–chrysocolla–native Cu)  Supergene zone (chalcocite-dominant)  Primary zone (chalcopyrite–pyrite–pyrrhotite) Assay datasets for Acid Soluble Copper (ASCu), Cyanide Soluble Copper (CNCu), Copper (Cu), and Sulphur (S) were used to delineate these domains and underpin metallurgical recovery assumptions applied to the Ore Reserve estimate. 6 Refer to ASX Announcements “Constellation continues to shine” dated 27 May 2021 and ASX announcement “Constellation Update” dated 3 August 2021 for information relating to drill hole TAKD019. 2.37% Cu 2.08% Cu 1.68% Cu 1.33% Cu 19 Processing and Flowsheet The Tritton processing plant is located within the Tritton Mine operations and has a throughput history exceeding 26 Mt over 20 years from multiple ore sources. Metallurgical testing confirms that ore breakage characteristics and grindability are consistent with Tritton feed material and will be suitable for treating Constellation ore Figure10. The Tritton Ore Processing plant will treat the Constellation supergene, sulphide and high grade oxide mineralisation. Processing of supergene and primary ores will employ a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit.  Supergene ores will be treated using a bulk rougher flotation configuration, maximising copper recovery and producing concentrates exceeding 22% Cu.  Primary ores will use a selective flotation approach to reject pyrite while achieving copper recoveries above 95% and concentrate grades above 22% Cu.  Oxide ores respond favourably to CPS flotation using NaHS. Implementation of NaHS addition and minor instrumentation upgrades will be required at the Tritton plant prior to processing oxide feed. Oxide and supergene ores are expected to be treated in batch campaigns, while Constellation primary ore will be blended with other Tritton-area sulphide sources as part of normal plant operations. 20 Infrastructure The Constellation Project will leverage a combination of new and existing infrastructure to support mining and processing operations. Key infrastructure components proposed for the site include:  Waste rock storage to manage mined waste material facilities.  Mineralised waste and low grade ore stockpiles.  A run-of-mine (ROM) ore stockpile to facilitate ore handling and feed flexibility.  A mine laydown area and workshop for equipment maintenance and operational support.  Topsoil stockpiles for site rehabilitation purposes.  A solar farm and on-site power station to supply reliable and sustainable energy.  Water management and storage infrastructure, including a dedicated water pipeline connecting the Project site to the Murrawombie Copper Mine to optimise water supply.  Administrative facilities including offices, staff amenities, and car parking. Ore mined at Constellation will be hauled to the Tritton Operation, located approximately 45 km by road, where the ore processing and tailings storage facilities are established. Skilled labour is readily available in the region to support mining operations, with accommodation provided in the nearby town of Nyngan, situated within 55 km of the Constellation Project. To support haulage and operational traffic, the following external infrastructure upgrades are planned:  Upgrades to public roads between Constellation site and Tritton Operations.  An underground water pipeline within the road corridor. 21 Environmental & Regulatory Summary The Constellation Project is classified as a State Significant Development (SSD-41579871) under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The Development Application, supported by an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)7, was submitted in July 2024 and publicly exhibited between August–September 2024. A Response to Submissions and subsequent Amendment Report have been lodged, with determination and all secondary approvals anticipated prior to construction in mid-2026. A modification to DA 41/98 was approved in September 2025, integrating Constellation with the Tritton Copper Operations. Key approvals include increased tailings storage capacity, extended mine life, and tailings export across Tritton mines for potential use as mine backfill. The Project is located on freehold land within Bogan Shire, a region reliant on agriculture and mining. A Mining Lease Application is planned for early 2026, with access agreements under negotiation. Native Title has been extinguished on the subject land. A comprehensive environmental risk assessment has been completed, identifying all potential risks as manageable with mitigation. Biodiversity commitments include offsets, hollow tree salvage, and habitat restoration. Surface water impacts are expected to be minimal, and a progressive rehabilitation program will create safe, stable, and non-polluting landforms suitable for agricultural use while enhancing local biodiversity. Waste rock management will utilise a purpose-built waste storage facility (WSF) and potential underground backfill. Mineralised oxide material will be stored separately for potential future processing. The Project delivers strong social and economic benefits, supporting regional employment, local infrastructure, and Indigenous engagement. Copper, classified as a strategic mineral, continues to see rising global demand, reinforcing the strategic importance of the Project. Aeris remains committed to ecologically sustainable development, balancing operational objectives with e
