Background to the Resolutions 2.1 January Placement On 29 January 2026, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments from sophisticated and professional investors and certain Directors to raise $1,750,000 (before costs) by the issue of 175,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share (January Placement). EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Critical Resources Limited – 2026 General Meeting 5 Pursuant to the terms of the January Placement, the Company agreed to issue free attaching options on a 1:4 basis, exercisable at $0.008 on or before 23 April 2028 (CRRAC Options). Securities under the January Placement will be issued as follows: (a) Tranche 1: 160,500,000 Shares and 37,500,000 Options issued on 11 February 2026, comprising: (i) 37,500,000 Options issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1); and (ii) 150,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2); and (b) Tranche 2: 25,000,000 Shares and 6,250,000 Options to be issued to participating directors subject to Shareholder approval, comprising: (i) 20,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options to Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Bilal Ahmad (being the subject of Resolution 3); and (ii) 5,000,000 Shares and 1,250,000 Options to Managing Director, Mr Tim Wither (being the subject of Resolution 4). 2.2 Use of Funds Funds raised under the January Placement will be used to advance key work programs across the Company’s project portfolio. This includes further work at the 100%‑owned Mavis Lake Lithium Project in Canada, progression of gold and antimony exploration activities in New Zealand and New South Wales, and the commencement of a solid‑state lithium-ion battery evaluation program with the South Dakota School of Mines, together with working capital. The Company will also retain sufficient flexibility to support corporate activities and ensure efficient execution of planned programs. 2.3 Lead Manager The Company engaged 62 Capital Pty Ltd (62 Capital) to act as sole lead manager to the January Placement (Lead Manager Mandate). Pursuant to the terms of the engagement, the Company has agreed to pay 62 Capital: (a) 17,500,000 Options on the same terms as the Options issued under the January Placement (being the subject of Resolution 5); and (b) a fee of 6% of the gross amount raised payable in cash or Shares and Options on same terms as January Placement (being equal to 10,500,000 Shares and 2,625,000 Options) at 62 Capital’s election (being the subject of Resolution 6). All Securities which the Company has agreed to issue to 62 Capital have been issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 together with the Securities under Tranche 1 of the January Placement. The Lead Manager Mandate is otherwise on terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of its nature. 3. Resolutions 1 & 2 Ratification of Securities Issued under January Placement 3.1 General As set out at Section 2.1, these Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 150,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 to raise $1,500,000, together with 37,500,000 free attaching Options pursuant to the terms of the January Placement. 37,500,000 Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 150,000,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. 3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period. Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Critical Resources Limited – 2026 General Meeting 6 obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025. The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue. 3.3 Listing Rule 7.4 Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue. 3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue. If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue. 3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5 Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares: (a) Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected: Professional and sophisticated investors who were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved 62 Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non- related parties of the Company. The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. (b) Number and class of Securities issued: 150,000,000 Shares and 37,500,000 Options were issued on the following basis: (i) 37,500,000 Options pursuant to the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and (ii) 150,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2). (c) Terms of Securities: The Shares were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. (d) Date(s) on or by which the Securities were issued On 11 February 2026. (e) Price or other consideration the Company received for the Securities: $0.01 per Share for Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Options were issued for nil, being free attaching to Shares under the January Placement. (f) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue: Refer to Section 2.2 for details of the proposed use of funds. (g) Voting Exclusion Statement: A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Critical Resources Limited – 2026 General Meeting 7 4. Resolutions 3 & 4 Approval for Director participation in January Placement 4.1 General As set out in Section 2.1 above, these Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 25,000,000 Shares and 6,250,000 Options to Directors (or their nominee(s)) participating in the January Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants as follows: (a) 20,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options to Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Bilal Ahmad (being the subject of Resolution 3); and (b) 5,000,000 Shares and 1,250,000 Options to Managing Director, Mr Tim Wither (being the subject of Resolution 4). 4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must: (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act. The issues constitute giving a financial benefit and Mr Ahmad and Mr Wither are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Directors (other than Mr Ahmad and Mr Wither who have a material personal interest in these Resolutions) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues because the Securities will be issued to Mr Ahmad and Mr Wither (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as Securities issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms. 4.3 Listing Rule 10.11 Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to: 10.11.1 a related party; 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company; 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so; 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. 4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issues within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 2.2. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issues (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Critical Resources Limited – 2026 General Meeting 8 If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and no further funds will be raised. 4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 (a) Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued: Mr Bilal Ahmad and Mr Tim Wither (or their nominee(s)). (b) Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11: Mr Ahmad and Mr Wither each fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of Mr Ahmad and Mr Wither who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4. (c) Number of Securities and class to be issued: An aggregate of 25,000,000 Shares and 6,250,000 Options will be issued, comprising: (i) 20,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options to Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Bilal Ahmad (being the subject of Resolution 3); and (ii) 5,000,000 Shares and 1,250,000 Options to Managing Director, Mr Tim Wither (being the subject of Resolution 4). (d) Terms of Securities: The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. (e) Date(s) on or by which the Securities were issued: The Company expects to issue the Securities within 15 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). (f) Price or other consideration the Company received for the Securities: $0.01 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a 1:4 basis. (g) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue: Refer to Section 2.2 for details of the proposed use of funds. (h) Voting Exclusion Statement: A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. 5. Resolution 5 Ratification of issue of Options to Lead Manager 5.1 General As set out in Section 2.3 above, the Company engaged 62 Capital to act as lead manager to the January Placement.

The Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 together with the Securities under Tranche 1 of the January Placement (being on 11 February 2026). 5.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 3.2 and 3.3 respectively. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue. 5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Critical Resources Limited – 2026 General Meeting 9 If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue. 5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5 (a) Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected: 62 Capital Pty Ltd (or its Nominee(s)).

Resolution 6 Ratification of issue of Securities to Lead Manager 6.1 General As set out in Section 2.3 above, the Company engaged 62 Capital to act as lead manager to the January Placement. As consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to pay 62 Capital a fee of 6% of the gross amount raised, which may be settled in cash or by issuing Securities on the same terms as the January Placement. In accordance with their election, the Company has issued 10,500,000 Shares and 2,625,000 Options to 62 Capital in lieu of cash pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 together with the Securities under Tranche 1 of the January Placement (being on 11 February 2026). Accordingly, this Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 10,500,000 Shares and 2,625,000 Options in consideration for amounts owing to 62 Capital under the Lead Manager Mandate. 6.2 Listing Rule 7.1 A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above. The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the issue. 6.3 Listing Rule 7.4 A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 3.3 above.
