Cautionary Statement regarding Exploration Targets
An Exploration Target of 10 – 15 Mt @ 0.32-0.42% Tin for the Doradilla Project (please see SKY ASX Announcement SKY ASX Announcement 14 July 2025 for details). The potential quantity and grade referred to in this presentation as Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature,
as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. SKY will continue drilling of these exploration targets in the coming months with the aim to grow confidence in
estimated Exploration Targets. Supporting report and further details on the Exploration Target are included in SKY ASX Announcement 14 July 2025.

SIMPLE MINING AND PROCESSING
ASX: SKY
• Simple single open-pit mining operation with a low
1.99:1 life-of-mine strip ratio
• +4 years of metallurgical testwork confirm simple,
low-risk processing of coarse tin, tungsten and silver
mineralisation
• Exceptional ore sorting pre-concentration performance
demonstrated across multiple test programs
• 75t bulk sample sorting testing achieved >90% mass
reduction while maintaining high tin, tungsten and
silver recoveries
• Pre-concentration reduces downstream processing
capacity from 3.0Mtpa to ~0.5Mtpa, significantly
lowering capital and operating costs
• Conventional gravity processing then produces separate
tin and tungsten concentrates, plus silver doré

ASX: SKY
• Low-Cost Mining Proposition – Shallow
deposit at surface, very low strip ratio and
growing with every new drill-hole
• Exceptional Upgrade – Ore sorting ideally
suited to the deposit – increases grade >10x,
removing over 90% of mined mass in high tin
recovery bulk testwork
• Low-Cost Processing – Simple gravity circuit
for a saleable tin concentrate
• High Payability on Tin Concentrate – over
90% payability on a +60% tin concentrate,
with sample tin concentrate from bulk sample
metallurgical program available shortly

LOW CAPITAL COST TO STRONG CASHFLOWS
ASX: SKY
Processing Plant layout
• Low pre-production capital of A$138.8M (excluding
contingency) comprising A$113.4M processing plant
and A$26.3M site and mine establishment costs
• Conventional off-the-shelf processing equipment
supports a simple flowsheet, short lead times and a
rapid 7-month construction schedule
• Strong infrastructure advantage with grid power at
site and local water sources significantly reducing
development risk
• Well-positioned regional location with Condobolin
just ~70km away, providing access to a skilled mining
workforce and services
• Clear pathway to development, targeting mining
approvals in late CY2027 and first production by mid-
CY2028
• Low operating costs of ~A$98 million per annum for
a 3Mtpa operation, supported by a low strip ratio of
1.99:1 and a simple gravity-based processing
flowsheet:
• Mining costs of ~A$49 million per annum,
equivalent to a life-of-mine average of A$5.45/t
mined (ore and waste) using contract mining
• Processing costs of A$35 million per annum, or
A$11.90/t ROM processed, including A$3.75/t
crushing costs before ore sorting and processing
• Site operating costs of A$13 million per annum,
including power, water supply, freight and site
administration
• Coarse, near-surface tin-tungsten-silver
mineralisation and the absence of large-scale
chemical processing support low operating costs,
simplified approvals and straightforward project
construction and operation

• Resource grade increases from 0.15% tin x 10 =
over 1.50% tin with 95% tin recovery
• Reduced mass means smaller, lower plant costs to
produce a saleable tin concentrate
• Bulk sample of +75t of mineralisation was excavated,

large, discrete ‘chunks’, easily classified
by the TOMRA XRT ore sorter
• 75t bulk sample testwork on full-scale

– Stage 1 Sorting: Tin upgraded from
0.17% Sn to 2.32% Sn (a 13x increase)
with +94.8% Sn recovery in total.
– Stage 2 Sorting: Further upgrade to
10.8% Sn (a further 4.6x increase on
Stage 1) with a +70% Sn recovery.
• Over 90% mass reduction significantly
reduces any future project CAPEX and
