LE T TER FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Shareholders,
FY25 has been a year of steady and important progress for Coda Minerals as we continue to advance the Elizabeth Creek
Copper-Silver Project in South Australia.
In December 20241, we published an updated study which delivered a material improvement in the project’s economics.
This reflected the significant work undertaken to refine our understanding of the orebody and optimise our approach, and
it gave us a stronger foundation from which to move toward the next stage of development.
In March 20252, we announced the results of drilling at Elizabeth Creek which reinforced the quality of the Resource base.
Our team also made major advances in approvals, positioning the project well as we transition into the Pre-Feasibility
Study (PFS) phase. The submission of the Draft Scoping Report to the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining
post financial year3 end continued our progress toward project development.
While outside the formal reporting period, it is important to acknowledge the metallurgical breakthrough achieved in
mid-2025 4 which built on a work programme that ran through the first half of 2025. The adoption of a copper-silver based
flowsheet has been transformational for Elizabeth Creek. The new approach materially improves recoveries of copper
and silver significantly de-risks the project, and delivers economics that are compelling. The updated study, published in
August 2025 5, makes clear the scale of the opportunity that lies ahead.
This year has demonstrated the value of disciplined, technically rigorous work. Each step - study refinement, drilling,
approvals, and metallurgical test work - has brought us closer to unlocking the potential of Elizabeth Creek as a
significant copper project. The upcoming PFS will be a critical stage in demonstrating the full commercial potential of
the project.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our management team, led by Chris Stevens, for their dedication and
professionalism in advancing the project. I also thank our shareholders for their continued support.
We remain committed to delivering value as we move into the next stage of Coda’s journey.
Yours sincerely,
Keith Jones

CEO ’S REPORT
I am pleased to present my address to shareholders as we look ahead to the 2026 Financial Year, which promises to be a
defining period for Coda.
The year has begun with what we consider the most important development in the history of the Elizabeth Creek Project:
the successful shift to a copper-silver flowsheet6. This change places the project on a far stronger foundation, anchored
by two globally traded commodities with deep, liquid markets.
Throughout FY25 our focus was firmly on unlocking value at Elizabeth Creek. Through determined and technically
rigorous work, we have achieved a step-change in the project, clearly demonstrating the strength of this strategy.
In September 2025 7, we launched a fully underwritten entitlement offer that received overwhelming support from
both institutional investors and major shareholders. This is a significant capital raising, undertaken only after careful
consideration, and it now provides the funding required to accelerate our path to pre-feasibility. Critical technical
programs and approvals work are already underway.
We are also beginning to see encouraging signs of renewed strength in the copper market, alongside heightened M&A
activity across the sector. With increasingly fewer copper development peers remaining on the ASX, these broader
industry dynamics coincide with a year in which we have materially improved the technical and economic foundations of
Elizabeth Creek. Together, these factors place us in a strong position to move decisively towards commercialisation.
Looking ahead, FY26 will be marked by an intensive program of technical and economic work that will generate a steady
flow of results. Importantly, the groundwork completed in FY25 has given us the confidence to now transition into a
period of rapid advancement. The hard yards have been done; the project has been materially de-risked and enhanced.
Our task now is to follow a proven path—progressing Elizabeth Creek methodically and efficiently through the prefeasibility stage and beyond.

Scoping Study
Coda released it’s initial Scoping Study into the Elizabeth Creek Project in March of 20231. This initial Scoping Study
demonstrated an economically robust project with a 14 year mine life, capable of producing 25,000 tonnes of copper and
1,000 tonnes of cobalt at steady state production levels with an average AISC USD $2.19/lb of Cu (after by-product credits)
and an approximate pre-tax NPV8 of $570M.
During the 2023-2024 financial year, the Company released two updates to this study 2,3 , which further optimised the
project and improved project economics.
Two important updates have occurred in the subsequent reporting period. The first was one further update during the
reporting year4, which refined the flotation processing flowsheet and introduced the Cattle Grid South deposit, previously
excluded from earlier studies, and first reported to the market in July of 20245. This resulted in an estimated pre-tax
NPV 7 of $1.18 billion ($802M post-Tax), with an average steady state production rate of 26,700tpa copper, 1,300tpa cobalt
and 1.1MOz pa silver. AISC was estimated at USD $1.80/lb Cu after by-product credits, and mine life was estimated at 15.5
years.
The second major change occurred in June of 2025, with the announcement of significant improvements in net copper
recovery using whole-ore leach methods6. Chloride leaching, which ultimately proved to be the more economically
attractive of the tested options, achieved copper and silver recoveries of 95.9% and 97.3% respectively from material
from the Emmie Bluff deposit, This preliminary testwork was undertaken at a relatively coarse grind and required only
8 hours of residence time.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, and following further refinement of the leaching techniques, Coda
released updated CAPEX and OPEX estimates, as well as a preliminary update to project economics7. Under this new
metallurgical paradigm, Elizabeth Creek would see an increase in both economic performance (pre and post-tax NPV 7 of
$1.29B and $855M respectively) and to overall copper and silver production (steady state average production of 31.4ktpa
Cu and 1.4MOzpa Ag). The key economic assumptions underpinning this update were unchanged from the December
study. A summary comparing both studies is included below as Table 1 and a summary of the financial changes is detailed
in Table 2.

Mineral Processing
Stage 1: Flotation
All ore will undergo primary crushing followed by grinding in a SAG mill with a pebble
crushing circuit. Crushed ore from MG14 and
Windabout will pass through an additional
deslime circuit before flowing through a
conventional rough-cleaner-scavenger
flotation circuit to produce a copper cobalt
concentrate.
Stage 2: Hydromet
The concentrates from Windabout and Emmie Bluff will then proceed to a downstream
hydrometallurgical processing plant based
on an Albion Process™ leach circuit. The
overflow liquor, containing copper, cobalt,
and zinc, will be directed to an SXEW plant,
followed by a Cobalt SX and Zinc precipitation circuit. The CCD discharge slurry,
containing silver, will be processed through
a lime boil and cyanidation circuit.
All Deposits: The whole ore leach flowsheet
consists of a single stage oxidative circuit,
wherein sample is ground to p80 75µm before
being pumped into a series of tanks for leaching. A 4-hour chloride leach under air-sparged,
oxidative conditions at 90 degrees C and an ore
solids ratio of 6%. The mixture is then passed
through a series of thickeners, with the resultant pregnant liquor solution being pumped away
for hydrometallurgical processing, while the
residue is sent to tailings.
Hydrometallurgical processing will consist of
an SX/EW plant producing copper cathode, followed by a Merrill Crowe circuit producing silver
dore and a zinc carbonate precipitation circuit.

NEXT STEPS – ELIZABETH CREEK (SHORT-TERM CATALYSTS)
Coda intends to commence drilling for a detailed PFS into Elizabeth Creek in October of 2025. This drill programme will
provide sample for metallurgical and geotechnical testwork which will serve as the baseline for further and more detailed
project design work.
Potential catalysts during the next year include:
Variability Testwork: Verification of applicability and consistency of copper and silver recovery of whole-ore leach across
all deposits will provide final confirmation that the new flowsheet will be applicable across all major deposits.
Reoptimised Mine Schedules: Current economic models around whole-ore leach assume the same mining schedule and
cut-off grades as were originally developed for flotation. Reoptimisation of this mining schedule for the new flowsheet
may result in increased average profit per tonne.
Environmental Approvals: Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, Coda submitted its Scoping Report to the
South Australian Department of Energy and Mining (SA DEM) 8. This is one of the final steps in the development of the
project specific environmental studies and associated work plans for Elizabeth Creek, which will provides a clear and
transparent pathway towards the grant of a Mining Lease, which Coda will pursue over the coming year.
Reintroduction of Cobalt: Test work to confirm the leachability of cobalt from Elizabeth Creek mineralisation is ongoing.
Coda believes that the future re-integration of cobalt into the flowsheet represents an attractive upside opportunity but
is not integral to the progression of the copper-silver based flowsheet.
EXPLORATION – SED-HOSTED
Exploration during the year focused on drilling south and east of the Emmie Bluff deposit, commencing in February 20259.
The four-hole program tested geophysical anomalies identified in seismic and magnetotelluric (MT) surveys, interpreted
as possible Tapley Hill Formation black shale, and was completed in March 2025.
One hole (DD25EB0038, “Hole 38”) intersected a narrow band of mineralised Tapley Hill Formation mudstone conglomerate
— the first such mineralisation encountered outside the Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource. A second hole (Hole 39)
intersected a thicker but unmineralised, partially oxidised shale sequence, while two holes (37 and 40) did not intersect
the formation.
The program confirmed that Tapley Hill Formation shale extends beyond the existing Mineral Resource and that parts of
this unit are mineralised, with mineralisation not closed off by current drilling. Coda intends to further investigate out-fill
opportunities during feasibility work.
