29 January 2026
Presented by: Andre Labuschagne
Disclaimer
This investor presentation has been prepared by Aeris Resources Limited
(“Aeris” or the “Company”). By attending an investor presentation or
briefing, or accepting, accessing or reviewing this presentation, you
acknowledge and agree to the terms set out below.
SUMMARY INFORMATION
This presentation is for information purposes only and should be read in
conjunction with the most recent financial reports and other documents
lodged by Aeris with the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in
connection with its continuous disclosure obligations. This presentation
does not purport to contain all of the information that an investor should
consider when making an investment decision nor does it contain all of
the information which would be required in a product disclosure
statement or prospectus prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Corporations Act.
No reliance should be placed on the information or opinions contained
in this presentation, which are provided as at the date of this
presentation (unless otherwise stated) and to the maximum extent
permitted by law, Aeris has no obligation to update the information
contained in this presentation. An investment in securities is subject to
known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of
Aeris. Investors should consult with their own legal, tax, business and/or
financial advisors in connection with any acquisition of securities.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All financial information set out in this presentation is expressed in
Australian Dollars unless stated otherwise. Investors should be aware that
certain financial measures included in this presentation are “non-IFRS
financial information” under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: “Disclosing non-
IFRS financial information” published by ASIC and also “Non-GAAP
financial measures” within the meaning of Regulation G under the US
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not recognised under the AAS
or IFRS. Aeris believes the non-IFRS financial information and non-GAAP
financial measures provide useful information to users in measuring the
financial performance and condition of Aeris.
However, investors should note that the non-IFRS financial information
and non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardised meanings
prescribed by AAS or IFRS. Therefore, the non-IFRS financial information is
not a measure of financial performance, liquidity or value under the IFRS
and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
other entities, nor should the information be construed as an alternative
to other financial measures determined in accordance with AAS or IFRS.
Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any
non-IFRS financial information included in this presentation.
FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains certain ‘forward-looking’ statements, opinions
and estimates, which are based on assumptions and contingencies that
are subject to change without notice and involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties beyond the control of Aeris and its officers. This
includes statements about market and industry trends, which are based
on interpretations of current market conditions.
Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position
and performance are forward-looking statements. As are statements
containing the words “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”,
“believe”, “guidance”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “will”, “predict”, “plan”
and other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available to Aeris
as at the date of this presentation and should not be relied upon as an
indication or guarantee of future performance. Except as required by
law or regulation (including the ASX Listing Rules), none of Aeris, its
representatives or advisers undertakes any obligation to provide any
additional or updated information whether as a result of a change in
expectations or assumptions, new information, future events or results or
otherwise.
Investors are strongly cautioned against placing undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, especially considering the current economic
climate and significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused by
recent world events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and international
hostilities and associated economic changes.
DISCLAIMER
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aeris and each of
its respective related bodies corporate, shareholders and affiliates, and
each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives, affiliates, agents, consultants and advisers (each a
“Limited Party”):
• expressly disclaim any and all responsibility and liability (including,
without limitation, any liability arising from fault, negligence or
negligent misstatement) for any direct, indirect, consequential or
contingent loss or damage arising from this presentation or reliance
on anything contained in or omitted from it or otherwise arising in
connection with this presentation;
• disclaim any obligations or undertaking to release any updates or
revisions to the information in this presentation and;
• do not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
the accuracy, reliability, completeness or fairness of the information,
opinions and conclusions contained in this presentation or that this
presentation contains all material information about Aeris or the
Transaction or that a prospective investor or purchaser may require in
evaluating a possible investment in Aeris or acquisition of shares in
Aeris, or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward-looking statement or
any event or results expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statement.

NO NEW INFORMATION STATEMENT
This presentation refers to Exploration Results, estimates of Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves contained in the Group Mineral Resource

2025, “Maiden Open Pit Ore Reserve Estimate for Constellation Project”)
and prior market announcements released by Aeris, (Prior Reports). The
Prior Reports are footnote referenced in this presentation and available
