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.

TALLEBUNG PROJECT PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY
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
Tin 79%
Tungsten 60%

• Only ~60% of latest MRE included in the PFS Mine Life
• Latest MRE still remains open in all directions
• Updated MRE exceeded the previous Exploration Target:
• 32.7Mt @ 0.16% Tin Equivalent1 for 36.8kt of
contained tin, 1.14M mtu of WO₃ and 9.94Moz
of contained Ag
• Over 4,000m of drilling completed since the MRE update
• Drilling already underway targeting Resource growth and
upgrade of MRE confidence to support longer mine life
• MRE update demonstrated exceptional conversion of
Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated Resources
required to support extended mine life

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

TALLEBUNG PROJECT
KEY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
19
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
Tallebung Tin Mine – Drone Photo looking East down the Central Lead Open Pit.
• Tallebung tin deposit is ideally matched to ore sorting
technology
• Conservative, Stage 1 bulk TOMRA Ore Sorting
testwork demonstrated increases in grade of +1000%
and rejects +90% of mass
• 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,
crushed and ore sorted on a full-scale TOMRA ore
sorter to optimise process, culmination of more than
3 years of testwork

ASX: SKY
• Extremely effective sorting of Tallebung
tin achieved, as tin is ideally present as
large, discrete ‘chunks’, easily classified
by the TOMRA XRT ore sorter
• 75t bulk sample testwork on full-scale
ore sorters demonstrate:
– 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
OPEX
TOMRA-HIGH TECHNOLOGY CHANGES THE GAME

Details on the MRE for Tallebung can be found in SKY ASX Announcement 13 July 2026,
available at skymetals.com.au.
Multi-commodity metal resources within the Tallebung Deposit were defined using a cutoff
calculated for a Net Smelter Return (NSR) equation. This equation combines conservative
base-case commodity prices, recovery factors for each of Sn, W, and Ag, and concentrate
payability factors to classify resources.
Tin resources recently estimated in NSW for open pit mining have previously used a 0.05%
tin cut-off grade. At a standalone tin grade of 0.08% Sn, the previous cutoff grade used at
Tallebung (SKY ASX Announcement 23 January 2024), an NSR of approximately 23.34 USD/t
is given by the equation in Table, hence, to account for the multicommodity nature of the
mineralisation the MRE has used a cutoff of US$20/t as calculated in Table 2 below.
Table 1 – Tallebung MRE showing total tonnage, grade and contained metals at a US$20/t NSR cut-off grade. NB: Previous MRE cut-off of 0.08% Sn without any WO3 or Ag
credits equates to a ~US$23/t NSR at the base case Tin price of US$37500/t. Additionally, WO3 refers to the Tungsten reported as an oxide for which it is sold and “mtu” refers
to metric tonne units as Tungsten is conventionally reported in, 1 mtu = 10 kg WO3.

Details on the Doradilla Exploration Target can be found in SKY ASX Announcement 14 July 2025, available at skymetals.com.au.
Exploration Target
The Exploration Target at Doradilla of approximately 10-15 million tonnes (Mt) grading 0.32-0.42% Sn, representing a potential 32,000 to 63,000 tonnes of contained
tin. The potential quantity and grade referred to as the Exploration Target is 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.
The drilling that was used to estimate the Exploration Target has not been completed at sufficient drillhole or sampling density to have these results included in an MRE.
To advance the Exploration Target toward Mineral Resource classification, the following work is planned:
• Infill and step-out drilling to confirm continuity and geometry of mineralisation, particularly to follow up:
• Multiple aircore holes returning intercepts >0.5% Sn over significant widths with confirmed cassiterite-dominate mineralisation and,
• Newly recognised historic drilling which has not been digitised into SKY’s drilling database.
• Metallurgical test work to assess tin recovery from oxide and sulphide zones to continue to build on the excellent results achieved to date.
• Culminating in geological modelling and resource estimation in accordance with JORC Code (2012).
