The consideration comprises US$200,000 in cash over two years (including a US$10,000 exclusivity fee) and 2,500,000 CRR shares, with a US$200,000 minimum exploration commitment. The Company may withdraw from the transaction at any time. Critical Resources Limited (ASX: CRR) (Critical Resources or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusivity agreement and agreed key commercial terms with N.V. Gadu Manda Wang Kai (the Vendor), an arm’s length private Surinamese company, to acquire a 90% interest in the Gadu Manda Gold Project (Gadu Manda or the Project) for staged cash and share consideration (the Acquisition). Gadu Manda comprises a single granted right of exploration, covering approximately 2,920 ha (~29 km²) in the Brokopondo District, approximately 4 km west of the open pits of Zijin’s Rosebel gold mine (Figure 1). It is the second project near Rosebel over which the Company has secured exclusivity, alongside the Greenstars project11. Completion of the Acquisition (Completion) is subject to conditions precedent, including due diligence and the prior written approval of the Minister of Natural Resources. On Completion, the Company will hold a 90% interest in the Project. The key terms, which are to be documented in a binding acquisition agreement, are summarised in the Acquisition Terms section below.

Critical Resources Managing Director, Tim Wither, commented: ‘Gadu Manda will be a strong addition to our Suriname portfolio. The Project is located about 4 km from the pits of Zijin’s Rosebel mine, on ground already being worked by small-scale miners. This gives us a head start in developing our understanding of the Project. ‘Together with Gonini and Greenstars, Gadu Manda will give Critical Resources three granted gold projects in a proven gold province. We are currently in Suriname completing due diligence on all three projects, including site visits, while high-level structural targeting work is under way. ‘We thank our vendors for their trust and support. Being here, there is a real sense of opportunity in Suriname, and we look forward to building a strong and successful portfolio in the country and getting boots on the ground for our first field programs as soon as possible.’ Critical Resources Limited – www.criticalresources.com.au Level 45, 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 P: +61 (8) 9465 1024 E: info@criticalresources.com.au ASX:CRR SURINAME GOLD PORTFOLIO The Company is securing a portfolio of granted gold projects in the Suriname greenstone belt, acquired on staged terms. Gadu Manda is the third project, following Gonini and Greenstars5,11: - Gonini (~164 km²). Two granted exploitation rights in the historic Sara Creek district, where gold was discovered in 1876, approximately 66 km from Newmont’s Merian mine5,15. - Greenstars (~35 km²). A granted exploitation right in the Para District, accessible by road from Paramaribo and approximately 35 km west of Zijin’s Rosebel mine11. - Gadu Manda (~29 km²). A granted exploration right approximately 4 km west of Rosebel’s open pits, giving the Company two projects near Rosebel (Figure 2). Figure 2 – Location of the Gadu Manda and Greenstars Gold Projects relative to Zijin’s Rosebel operation, road access and alluvial workings.4 GADU MANDA GOLD PROJECT Location and access. The Project lies in the Brokopondo District of northern Suriname, west of the Afobakaweg and between the villages of Loksie Hatti to the north-west and Nieuw Koffiekamp to the east. Tracks and cut lines extend from the east into the northern part of the permit area (Figure 5). The Rosebel mine area lies approximately 80 km from Paramaribo by sealed road. Geological setting. The Project lies within the Paleoproterozoic greenstone terrane of the Guiana Shield, which hosts Suriname’s major gold operations6. Regional mapping shows the Project to be underlain by Lower Proterozoic meta-arenite, metavolcanic and meta-conglomerate rocks. At Rosebel, gold is hosted in quartz- carbonate veins along structures and contacts within similar metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks. A deep tropical weathering profile has generated the secondary gold worked by small-scale miners across the belt6. Critical Resources Limited – www.criticalresources.com.au Level 45, 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 P: +61 (8) 9465 1024 E: info@criticalresources.com.au ASX:CRR Previous work and workings. The Project area previously formed part of ground held by Rosebel Gold Mines N.V. (RGM) under its previous owner, IAMGOLD, and was relinquished as part of RGM’s obligations. The Vendor held the area under an earlier right from 2020 to 2025, and the current right was granted on its renewed application. Small-scale miners have worked the northern part of the right, leaving alluvial workings, pits, trenches and cut lines (Figures 3 to 5). The Company will seek RGM-era exploration data as part of due diligence. No Exploration Results are reported within this announcement. Exploration right. The permit was granted in May 2025 for a three-year term ending in May 2028 (refer Appendix A). Under the Mining Decree 1986, it may be extended, each time by up to two years, subject to work program and expenditure obligations and a reduction in area of at least 25% at each extension. The holder may apply for a right of exploitation over the area; an exploration right does not of itself permit commercial production. REGIONAL SETTING – A PRODUCING GOLD DISTRICT Rosebel. Rosebel, Suriname’s first large-scale open-pit gold mine, has produced more than 6 Moz of gold since 20043. Zijin Mining acquired Rosebel from IAMGOLD for US$360 million in January 20232,3,4. Zijin reports Rosebel resources of 11.6 Moz (438 Mt at 0.82 g/t Au) and reserves of 5.1 Moz (204 Mt at 0.78 g/t Au) as of 31 December 2025, on a 100% basis4. Why this matters. Gadu Manda is approximately 4 km from an operating and expanding gold mine owned by a major international producer, in an established mining district with infrastructure, roads and a local mining workforce3,4. Rosebel transports ore from the Saramacca satellite deposit to its processing plant via an approximately 36 km haul road that passes just south of the Gadu Manda Project1.

No samples have been taken by the Company, and quartz veining is not in itself evidence of gold mineralisation. Figure 5 – Satellite image of the Gadu Manda Project showing alluvial workings, older disturbed areas, cut lines and tracks in the northern part of the right, with Rosebel’s western open pits to the east (Google Earth imagery12). EXPLORATION PLAN The Company’s plan is to move quickly from completion to systematic sampling: - Verification sampling. The Company will undertake a site visit, verification sampling of the third-party workings, and stream-sediment, soil and regolith sampling in the northern part of the right during the exclusivity period, together with the recovery of any historical data, including RGM-era data. Critical Resources Limited – www.criticalresources.com.au Level 45, 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 P: +61 (8) 9465 1024 E: info@criticalresources.com.au ASX:CRR - Targeting. The Company will compile field data, satellite imagery and structural interpretations to prioritise first-pass geochemical sampling. ACQUISITION TERMS The Company has entered into an exclusivity agreement with N.V. Gadu Manda Wang Kai (the Vendor), which holds 100% of the exploration right comprising the Project (Appendix A). The agreement sets out the key commercial terms below, to be documented in a formal binding acquisition agreement, for the Company to acquire a 90% interest in the Project, to be held through a Surinamese company (N.V.) (the Acquisition). None of the Vendor’s shareholders, directors or officers are persons to whom ASX Listing Rule 10.1 applies. - Exclusivity. The Vendor has granted the Company exclusivity for 60 days from payment of a US$10,000 exclusivity fee, extendable once by the Company by up to 30 days. The exclusivity fee forms part of the total cash consideration and is non-refundable unless the Vendor breaches the exclusivity or due diligence terms. - Year 1 payment. Upon signing the formal acquisition agreement, which the Company expects to occur following completion of due diligence, the Company will pay US$90,000 in cash and issue 2,500,000 CRR shares (Consideration Shares). The Consideration Shares will be issued using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, subject to any necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals. - Conditions precedent. Satisfactory legal, title and technical due diligence, including confirmation of the type, term and good standing of the right and verification sampling; the Vendor having met the right’s work program and expenditure obligations to date (or arrangements satisfactory to the Company); extension of the right, or confirmation to the Company’s satisfaction that it can be extended; the prior written approval of the Minister of Natural Resources; approval of the Vendor’s shareholders; resolution of any third-party mining activity on the right; and any approvals required under the ASX Listing Rules. - Year 2 payment. The Company will pay US$100,000 in cash on the first anniversary of Completion. Total cash consideration is US$200,000 over two years, including the US$10,000 exclusivity fee. - Exploration commitment. The Company will spend a minimum of US$200,000 on exploration of the Project within two years after Completion. - Joint venture. CRR will hold 90% and the Vendor 10% through a Surinamese company. The Vendor’s 10% interest is free-carried by the Company until a decision to mine, after which the Vendor may contribute pro rata, convert its interest into a 2.0% net smelter return royalty (half of which, 1.0%, the Company may buy back for US$1,000,000), or remain carried, with the Company recovering its funding from the Vendor’s share of distributions. At a decision to mine, the Company may instead acquire the Vendor’s 10% interest at fair market value set by an independent valuer. - Alluvial mining by the Vendor. The Vendor may continue small-scale alluvial gold mining on the right to a depth of no more than 20 metres, outside any area of mineralisation defined by the Company, in accordance with applicable laws and at its own cost and risk. - Reversion and withdrawal. If the Company fails to make a payment or meet the exploration commitment when due and does not remedy the failure within 60 days of notice, its 90% interest reverts to the Vendor at no cost. Critical Resources may withdraw at any time, including if the right is not extended, with no further payments due, in which case its interest returns to the Vendor, including all data. Critical Resources Limited – www.criticalresources.com.au Level 45, 108 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 P: +61 (8) 9465 1024 E: info@criticalresources.com.au ASX:CRR - Existing liabilities.
