$12.3m Funding Secured, PFS Fully Funded
Key Points
• $12.33m total fundraising secured, positioning Coda as fully funded for the Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver
Project Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”).
• PFS now fully-funded, providing a strong cash runway to deliver key technical work and drive robust
commercial outcomes. All PFS work streams are now underway.
• Oversubscribed $4m placement to institutional and sophisticated investors completed at $0.105 per share
(“Placement”).
• The Placement complements the heavily oversubscribed Entitlement Offer to existing shareholders at $0.10
per share, increasing the total amount raised from the Entitlement Offer and follow-on Placement to
$12.33m before costs.
• Cash at bank expected to be approximately $14m after costs of the offer including current cash at bank.
• Drilling on site has commenced (2 rigs onsite currently, with a third expected next week) with major news
flow to come from ambitious work programme in the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD; “Coda” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its
underwritten $8.3m Entitlement Offer and a subsequent $4m institutional placement to underpin pre-feasibility study work
at its flagship 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project in South Australia’s Olympic copper province.
The institutional placement was undertaken to accommodate demand from quality institutional investors who supported
the Entitlement Offer as sub-underwriters. The Company originally contemplated a follow-on placement in the Entitlement
Offer Prospectus1
which was subsequently increased in scale from $2 million to $4 million to accommodate strong inbound
demand.
The Placement was conducted at $0.105 per fully paid ordinary share (“Share”) with an attaching option in the existing listed
CODO class exercisable at $0.15 each and expiring on 28 March 2029 (“Option”) based on 1 Option for every 4 Shares
subscribed. The Placement was undertaken at $0.005 per Share higher than the Entitlement Offer to existing shareholders
underscoring strong investor appetite.
A total of $12.33 million has been raised before costs. The Company will have approximately $14 million cash at bank
following costs of the offer, which is expected to fully fund the Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project Pre-Feasibility Study
(PFS), including piloting work and contingency.
Chief Executive Officer Chris Stevens said: “This is a tremendous outcome and puts Coda in an excellent position, allowing
us to move forward decisively — fully funded, fully focused and without distraction — to deliver the Elizabeth Creek Pre-

Feasibility Study, including geotechnical, metallurgical, engineering and hydrogeological workstreams, all with built-in
contingency.
“A PFS is the single most important milestone on the path from discovery to commercialisation, and we have been pushing
our studies forward for some time now. But timing is everything in project development; our recently announced
metallurgical breakthroughs and improved copper and silver recoveries2
came at the same time as both commodities have
entered a period of fundamentally stronger price dynamics, both of which have been critical in helping the market understand
Elizabeth Creek’s potential.
“The Coda team has been dedicated to Elizabeth Creek for many years. In that time, we’ve more than quadrupled the known
Resources3
, completely re-engineered the flowsheet and transformed the project into a true copper-silver standout — at a
time of historic price strength and growing global demand. With this funding secured, we are entering the most exciting
phase yet in Coda’s journey.
Over the coming months, investors can expect steady and meaningful news flow as we complete key components of our
study.”
Work Programme and Use of Funds
Funds raised from the Entitlement Offer and Placement will be used to accelerate the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the
Elizabeth Creek Copper-Silver Project. The PFS marks the next major step towards development and commercialisation of
the Project, building on the significantly improved economics and stronger commodity prices that have bolstered Elizabeth
Creek’s trajectory over the past several months.
Coda has already commenced all key PFS workstreams. Drill rigs are now on site and turning, signalling the start of an
intensive and fast-paced program designed to deliver a steady stream of news and progress updates over the months ahead.
2025: PFS-Level Drilling
Diamond drill rigs are currently active at Emmie Bluff, completing a drill programme consisting of approximately 19 holes
for 6,000 – 7,000 metres of drilling. Results and sample from this program will underpin most of the key early workstreams,
including:
• An updated Mineral Resource Estimate at Emmie Bluff, including follow-up drilling in potential extension areas.
• Metallurgical studies to finalise the PFS-level flow sheet and feed into process engineering studies.
• Detailed geotechnical studies to improve mine design confidence, and potentially increasing total extraction and
mining productivity.
2026: Key Studies
Mine Plan Optimisation
The new Mineral Resource Estimate will underpin a comprehensive mine plan re-optimisation. With greater geological
confidence and more data density, this work will include a trade-off study between mechanical cutting and drill-and-blast
methods. The updated mine plan will be fully aligned with the new copper-silver flowsheet and current commodity price
forecasts, with the objective of delivering a material uplift in project economics.

Water and Infrastructure
Expanded funding will also allow Coda to drill and monitor new water bores, which will contribute to water supply de-
risking, infrastructure studies and environmental approvals for future operations. The Company will appoint a major
engineering partner to complete both process and non-process plant designs to PFS level confidence, ensuring that all
critical pathways to development are advanced in parallel.
Ongoing: Environmental Approvals
The Elizabeth Creek government approvals process continues to advance rapidly. The Scoping Report, a key milestone
within South Australia’s mining approvals framework, is nearing completion. Contractors are expected on site from
November, with work continuing on an as-needed basis throughout 2026, progressing environmental and technical studies
that will form the foundation for the full Mining Lease Application.
Follow-on Placement
The Company received significant excess demand under the Entitlement Offer from institutional and sophisticated investors.
It has therefore elected to undertake a follow-on placement to accommodate this demand and further strengthen its cash
position (“Placement”).
The Placement, led by Cumulus Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL 524450) (“Cumulus Wealth”) and Leeuwin Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL
561674) (“Leeuwin Wealth”), has closed fully subscribed with firm commitments received to raise approximately $4 million
(before costs). The Placement was made to institutional and sophisticated investors. The Placement was undertaken at
$0.105 per Share and with the same entitlement to attaching Options as the Entitlement Offer.
The commitments comprise 38,095,239 new Shares at $0.105 per Placement Share, together with 9,523,810 quoted,
attaching CODO Options, to be issued on the basis of one (1) attaching Option for every four (4) Placement Shares subscribed
under the Placement. The Placement was very well supported with bids received materially exceeding the targeted amount.
Placement Compliance
Of the 38,095,239 new Shares to be issued, 4,807,912 Shares will be issued utilising the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1
placement capacity, and 33,287,327 Shares will be issued utilising the Company’s existing 10% placement capacity under
Listing Rule 7.1A. 9,523,810 new Options will be issued utilising the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
None of the Placement applicants are related parties of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules.
The issue price of $0.105 per new Share represents a 24.8% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price of Shares
up to close of trade on Wednesday, 22 October 2025 and a 25% discount to the last close Share price on Wednesday, 22
October 2025.
Settlement of the majority of the Placement is expected to occur on or around 30 October 2025 with issue of the 28,571,429
Shares and 7,142,858 Options. 9,523,810 Shares and 2,380,952 Options will be settled on a deferred basis on or around 15
December 2025.
Coda appointed Cumulus Wealth and Leeuwin Wealth as joint lead managers for the Placement. Cumulus Wealth and
Leeuwin Wealth together will receive a customary fee of 6% payable on the total funds received under the Placement.

Statement Regarding Metal Equivalent Calculations
Metal Equivalent grades are quoted for one or more of the Emmie Bluff, Windabout and MG14 Mineral Resources, or for
exploration results considered by the company to be related directly to one of these Mineral Resources, in this
announcement.
For the Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource:
The Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource is reported as 40.2Mt @ 1.27% Cu, 569 ppm Co, 16.8 g/t Ag and 0.17% Zn (1.87%
Copper Equivalent (CuEq)) reported at a cut-off grade of 1% CuEq. The calculation of this metal equivalent is based on
the following assumptions.
Metal Coefficient Forecast Price Price Unit
Copper 0.8 $7,000 USD/Tonne
Cobalt 0.85 $55,000 USD/Tonne
Zinc 0.9 $2,100 USD/Tonne
Silver 0.85 $18.50 USD/Oz
Price assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based primarily on Consensus Economics
forecasts of metals, except for Cobalt, which was sourced via communication with subject matter experts. Metallurgical
assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based on a simple bulk float utilising rougher and
minimal cleaner/scavenger circuits. The produced a reasonably consistent mean recovery across most metals of between
approximately 83 and 94 percent. For simplicity, and to in part account for losses associated with less intensive cleaner
floats and losses to the hydromet plant, these figures were rounded down to the nearest 5%.
Application of these assumptions resulted in the following calculation of CuEq:
𝐶𝑢𝐸𝑞% = 𝐶𝑢% + 0.00068 × 𝐶𝑜 𝑝𝑝𝑚 + 0.337 × 𝑍𝑛 % + 90.3 ×
𝐴𝑔 𝑝𝑝𝑚
10000
For the Windabout and MG14 Mineral Resource:
The Windabout and MG14 Mineral Resource are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.5% CuEq as:
• Windabout: 17.67Mt @ 0.77% Cu, 492 ppm Co and 8 g/t Ag (1.41% CuEq)
• MG14: 1.83Mt @ 1.24% Cu, 334 ppm Co and 14 g/t Ag (1.84% CuEq)
The calculation of this metal equivalent is based on the following assumptions.
Metal Mining
Recovery %
Dilution % Recovery % Payability % Forecast Price Price Unit
Copper 0.9 0.05 0.6 0.7 $6,600 USD/Tonne
Cobalt 0.9 0.05 0.85 0.75 $55,000 USD/Tonne
Price assumptions used when calculating copper equivalent grades were based on recent historical metal prices at the
time of calculation (2018). Metallurgical assumptions are based on extensive metallurgical testwork undertaken on the
two deposits to 2018 across various potential flowsheets involving both floatation and leaching. Ag analyses in the
estimation and metallurgical testwork were considered insufficient at the time to include in the metal equivalent
calculation.
Application of these assumptions resulted in the following calculation of CuEq:
𝐶𝑢𝐸𝑞% = 𝐶𝑢% + 0.0012 × 𝐶𝑜 𝑝𝑝𝑚
It is the opinion of the company that both sets of prices used in the calculations are reasonable to conservative long-term
forecasts for real dollar metal prices during the years most relevant to the deposits (approx. 2026-2030).
It is the opinion of the company that all of the elements included in the metal equivalent calculations have a reasonable
potential to be recovered and sold.
