Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report
For the period ending 31 March 2026
Boab Metals Limited (ASX: BML) (“Boab” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Activities and Cashflow Report for the
quarter ended 31 March 2026. During the period, the Company received final regulatory approvals and executed a syndicated
facility agreement for A$236 million equivalent debt facilities to fund the development of its flagship Sorby Hills Silver-Lead-
Zinc Project (“Sorby Hills” or “the Project”), located in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.
Highlights
• On site Early Works completed.
• Works Approval and Mining Development and Closure Proposal for the Sorby Hills Project approved by the WA
Government, paving the way for primary site works to commence.
• Syndicated Facility Agreement for a A$236 million equivalent debt facility executed.
• Long term diesel supply contract executed.
• Process Plant detailed engineering & design, long lead item procurement and workforce mobilisation planning progress
as the Engineering Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contract nears execution.
• Sorby Hills on track to commence production in H2 2027.
• The Company had a cash balance of A$97.8 million as at 31 March 2026.
Boab Metals Managing Director & Ceo, Simon Noon, Said:
“The March quarter has seen construction activities continue to ramp up at Sorby Hills. The Early Works package, which
commenced in October last year, has been completed with site access secured and foundation pads for the Process Plant
and Mine Camp now in place. With final regulatory approvals received, the Company can move seamlessly into primary
construction works.
We’re nearing the finalisation of EPC contract negotiations and will be in position to provide further detail shortly. In the
meantime, we are advancing detailed engineering & design, procurement and workforce planning with the preferred
contractor meaning our development schedule remains unchanged.
Execution of a Syndicated Facility Agreement with our lenders formalises the binding terms sheet we entered last year and
our election to take half the debt in US dollars aligns this portion of the facilities with the US dollar revenue we will receive
from the sale of concentrate – thus reducing foreign exchange (“FX”) risk during operations. The Project remains fully funded
and on track for production in the second half of 2027.”

Early Works Completed
Early Works at Sorby Hills commenced in October 2025 and focused on establishing foundational elements of the Project including
all-weather site access and pads for the Process Plant and Mine Camp. This work package is now complete.
Final Regulatory Approvals Received
During the quarter, the Company received both the Works Approval and approval of the Mining Development and Closure Proposal
(“MDCP”) for the Sorby Hills Project. These approvals represent the final regulatory approvals required for the Project and allow for a
seamless transition from Early Works into primary construction work packages at Sorby Hills.
Bulk Earth Works Commenced
Following completion of the Early Works and receipt of the final regulatory approvals, execution of the Bulk Earthworks
Package commenced at Sorby Hills during the quarter. The Bulk Earthworks package comprises the construction of critical
water management infrastructure including the Evaporation Pond (“EVP”), Mine Water Settling Pond (“MWSP”) and the
Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”). The Bulk Earthworks Package will be undertaken by the same contractor who completed the
Early Work Package thus reducing mobilisation costs and improving execution efficiency. The Bulk Earthworks Package is due
to be completed by the end of 2026.
Mine Camp Refurbishment
Procurement of all major mine camp components has been finalised. Refurbishment of accommodation units is well advanced,
with the first 50 rooms completed. Installation of these initial rooms is on track for mid-May 2026, with full camp completion
scheduled for the end of Q2 2026. The camp will support the increasing on-site workforce as construction activity ramps up.
Long Term Diesel Supply Contract Executed
The Company has entered a long-term diesel supply contract with CGL Fuel Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Wyndham Port operator
Cambridge Gulf Limited. The six-year agreement provides a secure, reliable and long-term fuel supply solution for Sorby Hills
during construction, commissioning and operations. The agreement includes the provision of on-site diesel storage up to
600kL. As at 29 April 2026, the Company had 105kL of diesel stored on site with a further 315kL due to be delivered within the
next 7 days.
Process Plant EPC Contract
Negotiations for the EPC contract are nearing completion. A letter of intent has been issued to the preferred contractor,
enabling preparatory activities to proceed while final contract documentation is completed. Current preparatory works include
engineering & design, workforce mobilisation planning, procurement of long-lead items, and planning for plant relocation.
The Project schedule remains unchanged, with process plant commissioning and first ore targeted for the second half of 2027.
Contractor mobilisation to site is expected in May 2026.
Drilling Program – Unlocking Silver Upside
Planning is well advanced with commencement of drilling activities expected to occur late Q2 2026. Priority drilling at Sorby
Hills includes:
• Resource to Reserve conversion drilling, focused on upgrading portions of the existing Mineral Resource to support detailed
mine planning and production scheduling;
• Silver focused resource expansion drilling, targeting extensions to known mineralisation, particularly silver intercepts
previously excluded due to lead only based cut-off grades; and
• Exploration drilling within the broader Sorby Hills tenure, testing priority targets identified from geological interpretation
and historical datasets.

Other Activities
Additional development activities progressing include:

targeted for late Q3 2026
• Continued expansion of the project team across Perth and site-based operations

Syndicated Facility Agreement Executed
The Company has executed a full form Syndicated Facility Agreement (“SFA”) with Merricks Capital and Davidson Kempner
for A$236 million equivalent of debt facilities to fund development of the Sorby Hills Project. The execution of the full form
SFA is pursuant to, and consistent with, the terms of the binding commitment from Merricks Capital and Davidson Kempner
announced on 27 November 2025. Financial Close and first drawdown under the SFA are subject to certain conditions precedent
customary to project financing facilities of this nature. First drawdown under the SFA is expected to occur in Q3 2026.
The total A$236 million equivalent1
debt facilities comprise:
Construction Facilities Cost Overrun Facilities Total Facilities
A$113.0 million A$5.0 million AUD Tranche: A$118.0 million
US$80.8 million US$3.6 million USD Tranche: US$84.4 million
The Company has elected to take 50% of the financing commitment in US dollars.
The US dollar tranches will be drawn down and repaid in US dollars. With US dollar revenues from concentrate sales providing
a natural hedge, this design eliminates the need for the Company to enter into FX hedging during operations to service that
portion of the debt facilities.
Following the execution of the SFA, Boab executed FX hedging to minimise exchange rate risk during the construction period.
