Breakthrough Delivers Material Uplift in Copper, Silver Recoveries
Test-work on simplified processing flowsheet using coarse grind whole-ore leach paves the way for a material
recovery uplift and CAPEX reduction.
Highlights
•
Coda has completed a preliminary testwork programme assessing two different whole-ore leach techniques on
mineralised material from the Emmie Bluff deposit.
•
The two methods, catalysed ammonia leach and ammonium chloride leach, have shown high copper recoveries of
approximately 92.5% and 95.9% respectively after leaches of just eight hours, with these excellent results achieved at
relatively coarse grind sizes (75µm).
•
Whole-ore leach is expected to materially reduce CAPEX by eliminating the need for a flotation plant, Albion circuit,
O2 plant and other items, replacing these items with simple polycarbonate (plastic) tanks.
•
Coda is rapidly progressing OPEX and CAPEX estimation work and trade-off comparison studies relative to the current
base case flowsheet.
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD, “Coda” or “the Company”) is pleased to report positive results from recent metallurgical
testwork at its 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project (ECCCP) in South Australia. The results demonstrate
significantly improved copper and silver recoveries using whole-ore leach techniques, with the potential to reduce capital
expenditure (CAPEX) and simplify the processing flowsheet.
Two whole-ore leach methods were trialled using ore from the Emmie Bluff deposit, the cornerstone of the Elizabeth Creek
Project. Both approaches delivered encouraging results, with short leach times and copper recoveries substantially exceeding
those achieved using the Company’s existing flotation-based flowsheet.
Key outcomes include:
• Catalysed ammonia oxidative leach (using a readily available, low-cost catalyst): 92.5% copper recovery
• Ammonium chloride and air oxidative leach: 95.9% copper recovery
• These compare favourably to the 82.8% average copper recovery from previous flotation testwork
Both methods are near-neutral or alkaline, making them well-suited to the carbonate-rich Emmie Bluff ore. Importantly, by
processing the full ore stream directly—without prior flotation—these approaches may lower both capital costs and
operational complexity.
Existing Base Case Flowsheet
Coda’s most recent Scoping Study, published in December 2024, demonstrated an economically robust project with a globally
competitive Net Present Value (NPV7) of approximately A$1.2 Billion Pre Tax and A$802 million Post Tax1 and an estimated
All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$1.80/lb of copper.

These numbers were achieved based on copper recoveries averaging 82% over the life of mine. The existing flowsheet is
based on a multi-stage flotation circuit followed by Albion™ to recover copper, silver, cobalt, and zinc from the flotation
concentrate. Close variants of this flowsheet are commonly used in mines globally, although it is relatively complex
compared to whole-ore leach based flowsheets.
Recent Testwork
Coda has been investigating methods to increase recoveries, especially of copper and silver which have the greatest scope
for improvement. Whole-ore leaching is also commonly used in mines globally and offers the potential to materially reduce
processing complexity and increase recoveries. This recent work demonstrates the successful application of this technology
to Elizabeth Creek for the first time and provides a viable pathway for additional work.
Coda Minerals CEO, Chris Stevens said: “Elizabeth Creek already demonstrates robust fundamentals, with a
published post-tax NPV(7) of $802 million and an IRR of 28%. These numbers were achieved based on copper
and silver price and FX assumptions materially below spot, and an average copper recovery of 82%. While
these metrics delivered a strong and buildable project, our current flowsheet still loses around 18% of copper
to tailings—a clear opportunity for further value creation.
“Improving recoveries is the single most powerful lever we can pull. Every percentage point gained translates
directly into increased revenue over the life of mine.
“Ammoniacal leaching of whole ore has now delivered results which are exceptional and provides multiple
pathways to copper recoveries of well over 90% and silver recoveries of 97%. These are outstanding outcomes
that further enhance the project’s potential.
“Our next step is to work with independent consultants to rapidly quantify the capital and operating costs,
enabling an updated economic assessment.
“Our strategy remains clear: progress Elizabeth Creek to a construction-ready state with technical and
economic studies, and approvals in place. There is strong global demand for quality copper projects in Tier 1
jurisdictions—and we are determined to take what is already a solid project and make it a true standout.”
Ongoing Work Programme
Coda is currently progressing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for Elizabeth Creek, with critical path approvals work well
underway. The Company will continue to advance the current base-case flowsheet whilst rapidly undertaking work required
to assess the full technical and economic implications of the whole-ore leaching breakthrough detailed in this
announcement. To date, work has primarily focused on the recovery of copper and silver, both of which benefit from
historically high price forecasts and offer the most scope for value improvement. Work is also currently underway on cobalt
leaching optimisation.
The Company will provide updates to the market on the ongoing whole-ore leaching optimisation and related trade-off
studies.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Metallurgical Testwork
The Company advises that the metallurgical results presented in this announcement are preliminary in nature and based on
early-stage testwork. While the testwork has been conducted and reported with due care, further work is required to confirm
the applicability of these results across the broader Elizabeth Creek Project, including additional variability testing at Emmie
Bluff, assessment of applicability to the MG14 and Windabout deposits, and detailed engineering studies to estimate
operating and capital costs. Investors are cautioned that these results are not definitive and should not be relied upon solely
as a basis for investment decisions. Further testwork and analysis will be required before any production or economic
outcomes can be confirmed.
Sample Selection and Testwork Method
Testwork was completed using sample from the Emmie Bluff deposit, specifically from drillholes DD21EB0028 and
DD21EB0025, both of which were drilled in 2021. The mineralised portions of the drillholes have been held in sub-zero cold
storage ever since to minimise oxidation. DD21EB0028 was chosen to be representative of the overall Emmie Bluff deposit
as possible (See Figure 2 and
Table 2, below). DD21EB0025 is a higher-grade sample designed to be more representative of the north-east corner of the
Emmie Bluff Resource.

Phase 1 Test-work Results - Catalysed Ammonia Leach
The sample was provided as HQ half diamond core and combined before being crushed to P100 2mm, homogenised and
split into 500g charges. One charge from DD21EB0028 was stage ground to a preselected grind size, specifically to P80 75,
53, 38 and 25µm. Ground sample was then leached in a 6M Ammonia solution at 70⁰C in the presence of the catalyst at 8%
solids, along with excess ammonium sulphate. The oxidative catalyst which promotes and accelerates sulphide oxidation, is
not consumed in the reaction, and can be recovered and recycled. This catalyst, which is currently commercial in confidence,
is a common, low cost and widely available material that Coda does not anticipate any challenges in sourcing. All lixiviants
and reagents were deliberately overdosed, and will be optimised in future rounds of testing. Residue and leachate samples
were taken for assay at regular intervals. 75µm was determined to be the optimal grind size, with total copper extraction of
92.5% after 8 hours.

Phase 1 Test-work Results – Ammonium Chloride Leach
An additional 100g, P80 75µm sample was taken as per the previous test, in this case from DD21EB0025, and leached in an
ammonium chloride solution at 90⁰C for 8 hours in the presence of excess ammonium sulphate and sparging air, with the
only consumed reagent being air. Residue and leachate samples were again taken for assay at regular intervals. Total copper
extraction of 95.9% was achieved after 8 hours. The results of the testwork are summarised as leach curves for copper in
Figure 3, below.
By-Products
A second round of leaching, this time using ammonium thiosulphate as a reductant, was undertaken following the catalysed
ammonia leach in order to extract silver. Tests were undertaken on residue from catalysed ammoniacal leaching, and
resulted in the extraction of approximately 51% Ag after 8 hours. Additional testwork is currently being undertaken to
further assess and enhance this second reductive stage of the leach. Priorities will include repeating the ammonium
thiosulphate leach on ammonium chloride leached residue and extending residence time beyond 8 hours. Additional
reductants will also be tested to assess the potential to extract cobalt.
Silver was extracted directly by the ammonium chloride oxidative leach, and achieved a significantly better result, with
97.3% extraction after 8 hours. The results of the testwork are summarised as a leach curves for silver in Figure 4, below.

Figure 4 Silver recovery curves via ammonium thiosulphate reductive leach of the residues from the catalysed ammonia leach
process and ammonium chloride oxidative leach of whole ore.
The current metallurgical testwork has focused on copper and silver, which offer the greatest opportunity for improved
recoveries and are expected to deliver the majority of project revenue at current spot prices. Notably, the value of the silver
component has increased significantly since the commencement of Coda’s study work, further enhancing project
economics. While Elizabeth Creek is primarily positioned as a copper-cobalt-silver project, it is also expected to produce
modest quantities of zinc over the life of mine.
Cobalt is not recovered in the initial oxidising phase of either the ammonium chloride or the catalysed ammonia leach, which
was expected due to the oxidation state of the cobalt in the primary host sulphide. Given that cobalt in the deposit is hosted
in carrollite, which has historically demonstrated strong flotation performance (75–90% recoveries3 in the most recent
update to the Scoping Study 4), there are multiple viable pathways for its extraction, including flotation or secondary leaching
of residues.

Please note that these figures relate to the current base case flowsheet as reported in the December 2024 Scoping Study. No cobalt figures are quoted
as part of results presented in this announcement.

Ongoing work in the short term will prioritise assessing a second-stage reducing leach using a variety of lixiviants to enhance
cobalt recovery.
Importantly, the revised flowsheet creates multiple new strategic pathways to investigate for project development. These
include a lower-CAPEX, fast-start scenario focused on early copper and silver production, as well as the potential to reoptimise open pit designs to enable a larger Stage 1 development. These enhancements are expected to provide greater
flexibility to stage the project and maximise value over time.
Implications and Next Steps
Per Coda’s most recent Scoping Study (see ASX Announcement 3 December 2024), the currently assumed flowsheet, which
utilises flotation to concentrate followed by an onsite Albion hydrometallurgical processing plant, sees a net weighted
average recovery of 82% copper across the project overall. A material improvement to this recovery, especially combined
with decreases in CAPEX and potentially OPEX, is anticipated to have a material impact on the project’s economics, assuming
co-product recoveries can be maintained or improved relative to the current base case flotation process.
Coda is actively engaged in ongoing test work to continue to improve the process, including by improving silver recovery
from catalysed ammonia leach and by assessing the recoverability of cobalt through the application of alternative
reductants. Once this work is concluded, future priorities will include optimisation of the reagent and lixiviant
concentrations, maximising the recyclability of all reagents, including the oxidative catalyst, and reducing OPEX as much as
possible while retaining high recoveries. The Company will also re-assess project economics to determine which oxidative
leach is the better solution to take forward, at which time Coda will provide an update to the market regarding the proposed
development pathway for the Elizabeth Creek Project overall.

Other Exploration Results
Coda has recently received assay results
for drillhole DD25EB0038, which was
initially announced as having intersected
narrow
mineralised
Tapley
Hill
Formation material in March of this
year6. These assay results broadly
confirm the observations as reported in
the earlier announcement, with an
interval of 0.76m @ 0.81% Cu from
435.6m.
These results clearly show that
additional mineralisation does occur
outside of the known major basin which
hosts the Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource,
and that scope exists to expand
mineralisation in several directions,
depending on the conditions during the
mineralising event.
Coda will continue to assess the
potential for Resource growth in this
area.

About Coda Minerals
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD) is focused on the discovery and development of minerals that are leveraged to the
global energy transformation through electrification and the adoption of renewable energy technologies.
Coda's flagship asset is the 100%-owned Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project, located in the world-class Olympic
Copper Province in the Eastern Gawler Craton, South Australia’s most productive copper belt. Elizabeth Creek is
centred 100km south of BHP’s Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium mine, 15km from its new Oak Dam West Project
and 50km west of its Carrapateena copper-gold project.
Coda consolidated 100% ownership of the Elizabeth Creek Copper Project after completing the acquisition of its
former joint venture partner, Torrens Mining, in the first half of 2022.
In December 2021, Coda announced a maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Emmie Bluff
copper-cobalt deposit at Elizabeth Creek, which was later updated in January of 2024. The Mineral Resource
comprises 40.2Mt @ 1.27% copper, 569ppm cobalt, 17g/t silver and 0.17% zinc (1.87% Copper Equivalent (CuEq))
containing approximately 510kt copper, 23kt cobalt, 21.7Moz silver and 70kt zinc (751kt CuEq) 7. Importantly, 95% of
the contained metal is classified in the higher confidence ‘Indicated Resource’ category and is available for use in
mining studies.
Emmie Bluff is one of three known ‘Zambian-style’ copper-cobalt deposits at Elizabeth Creek, including JORC 2012
compliant Indicated Mineral Resources at the Windabout (18Mt @ 1.14% CuEq) and MG14 (1.8Mt @ 1.67% CuEq)
deposits8. Collectively, the three resources at Elizabeth Creek now host a total of over 1 million tonnes of contained
copper equivalent.
A scoping study into the development of these three deposits was released in March of 2023 and updated in January 9,
March10 and December of 2024. The updated study demonstrated an economically robust project with a 16 year mine
life, capable of producing approximately 26,700 tonnes of copper and 1,300 tonnes of cobalt at steady state
production levels. The project had a lifetime average AISC of USD $1.80/lb of Cu (after by-product credits) and an
approximately pre-tax NPV7 of $1.18B 11.
Coda has also discovered a significant IOCG system adjacent to and below the Emmie Bluff target, with initial deep
diamond drilling in June 2021 intersecting 200m of intense IOCG alteration at the Emmie IOCG target, including
approximately 50m of copper sulphide mineralisation 12. Since then, Coda has drilled 21 holes into Emmie IOCG, with
all but three returning significant widths of mineralisation, some over 3% copper and 0.5g/t gold 13.
Coda has a dual strategy for success at Elizabeth Creek. Firstly, it is working towards the next step in the development
process for its Zambian-style copper cobalt projects by advancing technical and economic studies to build on the
results of the recently updated Scoping Study, while simultaneously undertaking exploration to further define and
extend known Zambian-style copper-cobalt resources across multiple prospects.
Secondly, it is undertaking a substantial geophysical and related assessment programme at the Emmie IOCG prospect
to further understand the structures and extent of the geological model defined through drilling.
Coda also has consolidated 100% ownership of the Cameron River Copper-Gold-Uranium Project, located in the highly
prospective Mount Isa Inlier in Queensland. The Project comprises 35km 2 of copper and gold exploration tenure
spanning two Exploration Permits (EPMs 27042 and 27053).

No Copper Equivalent was calculated for Cattle Grid South. Contained CuEq tonnes quoted in this column for Cattle Grid South consist of contained copper only.
Total figures have been aggregated purely for convenience and to contextualise the specific contribution of individual Mineral Resource Estimates to the overall project scale. Grades reported are tonnage-weighted
averages of the individual Mineral Resource Estimates. Coda notes that the total figure includes resources reported at varying cut-off grades, with varying estimation techniques, metallurgical properties and proposed
mining methods. Individual Mineral Resource Estimates should be considered individually. A total copper equivalent figure has not been disclosed as Coda does not believe it is currently appropriate to calculate a
copper equivalent for the Cattle Grid South Mineral Resource Estimate. Please see below sections Statement Regarding Metal Equivalent Calculations and Competent Persons Statement for full details on the calculation
of copper equivalents and links to original releases/CP statements. Figures have been rounded for simplicity.
16 No Zinc estimate was provided for the MG14 and Windabout deposits. This figure reflects the contained tonnage solely from Emmie Bluff and Cattle Grid South.
