$6.7m Placement to Expedite PFS Workstreams
Key Points
• $6.7 million raised to accelerate high-value PFS workstreams, including expanded metallurgical programmes,
additional hydrogeological drilling and enhanced independent technical review.
• Oversubscribed share placement completed at $0.13 per share, raising $6.7 million from institutional and
sophisticated investors, with an attaching listed CODO option on a 1-for-4 basis.
• Strong balance sheet with ~$13m cash at bank post placement, provides flexibility as the Company advances
multiple parallel workstreams towards PFS delivery.
• Expanded metallurgical programme brings forward critical technical de-risking, allowing key processing
assumptions to be tested earlier and increasing confidence in future development pathways.
• Elizabeth Creek Copper Silver Project PFS gathering momentum across multiple work streams:
- 19 hole infill and geotechnical drill programme fully complete
- Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) process advancing with completion expected early July 2026
- Stage 1 approvals (Scoping Agreement) in South Australia nearing completion
- Water drilling due to commence within coming weeks
- Tailings Study (TSF) has commenced
- Environmental and ecology surveys (phase 2) commenced
- Lidar and aerial surveys to commence in late June 2026
- Integrated mine planning across two open pits and one, 400m underground to commence
following completion of MRE update
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX: COD; “Coda” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of a $6.7
million placement to institutional and sophisticated investors (“Placement”). The Placement strengthens the Company’s
balance sheet and will accelerate a number of key Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) workstreams at its flagship 100%-owned
Elizabeth Creek Copper-Cobalt Project in South Australia’s Olympic Copper Province.
The Placement was conducted at $0.13 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.
A total of $6.7 million has been raised before costs. The Company will have approximately $13 million cash at bank following
costs of the offer.
Chief Executive Officer Chris Stevens said: “This is a good outcome for Coda and positions the Company to accelerate key
workstreams with confidence as we advance the Elizabeth Creek Pre-Feasibility Study, which we believe will be a defining
milestone in demonstrating the technical and commercial foundations of the Project.

“The Company entered this process from a position of strength,with approximately $7 million in cash prior to the Placement.
The decision to raise capital is never taken lightly. We have determined that a modest capital raising is appropriate to
accelerate several high-value workstreams, particularly metallurgical lock-cycle testing and additional hydrogeological and
approvals-related activities that have the potential to materially enhance the quality and robustness of the PFS.
“Importantly, the expanded metallurgical programme brings forward a range of test work that would otherwise have been
undertaken in later study phases. This will allow us to address key technical questions earlier and further de-risk the Project,
delivering a high quality PFS.
“The Placement also ensures the Company remains well funded as multiple parallel workstreams advance toward delivery
of the PFS. Maintaining a strong balance sheet provides flexibility as we evaluate future development, financing and strategic
opportunities from a position of strength.
“Recent financing and strategic transactions involving advanced-stage copper projects have highlighted growing demand
for high-quality development assets and alternative pathways to project funding. We believe the Elizabeth Creek Project is
approaching an important stagewheredemonstrating technical robustness, commercial viability and development readiness
becomes increasingly important.
“The copper sector continues to experience strong strategic interest globally, while the number of advanced copper
development projects in Tier-1 jurisdictions remains limited. Against this backdrop, webelieve the PFS represents a significant
opportunity to demonstrate the technical, commercial and strategic value of Elizabeth Creek.
“With resource, metallurgical, and geotechnical drilling now complete and major field programmes underway, we expect a
substantial increase in project activity and news flow over the coming months as we continue to systematically de-risk
Elizabeth Creek and progress toward PFS delivery.”

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.
