MRG Metals Limited (ASX: MRQ) (“MRG” or “the Company”) is pleased to release its Q1
FY26 Quarterly Report, as it continues to advance its fully funded two-billion-tonne
Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) Joint Venture and potential district-scale Rare Earths
project.
Fully Funded 2 Billion Tonne JORC Compliant Heavy Mineral Sands Project Delivers
Major Step Forward as Corridor South Mining Licence Granted
During the quarter, the Mozambican National Mining Institute (INAMI) granted the
Corridor South (11137C) Mining Licence, marking a major milestone in the development
of MRG’s fully funded 2-billion-tonne Corridor Sands Project in partnership
with Sinowin Lithium (SLC).
Corridor South (11137C) hosts the Nhacutse and Poiombo deposits, with a JORC
Mineral Resource of 860 million tonnes @ 4.9% total heavy minerals (THM) with a high-
grade area of 257 million tonnes @ 6.0% THM using a 5.0% cut-off grade (refer ASX
Announcement 8 April 2022).
The grant of the Corridor South (11137C) Mining Licence follows the earlier approvals of
the adjacent and abutting Corridor Central (11142C) Mining Licence (refer ASX
MRG Metals Limited ABN: 83 148 938 532 / ASX Code: MRQ Phone: +61 3 5330 5800 / Fax: +61 3 5330 5890

Announcement 14 January 2025) and the Linhuane Exploration Licence (refer ASX
Announcement 14 May 2025).
Corridor Central (11142C) hosts the Koko Massava deposit, with a JORC Mineral
Resource 1,534 million tonnes @ 5.5% THM with a high-grade area of 103 million tonnes
@ 6.6% THM using a 5.5% cut-off grade (refer ASX Announcement 16 December 2021).
Together, Corridor Central and Corridor South underpin a combined JORC Resource
and Exploration Target exceeding 2 billion tonnes, forming the foundation of the fully
funded Corridor SandsJoint Venture with Sinowin Lithium (SLC).Under the Binding Joint
Venture Agreement, Sinowin funds 100% of development and operating costs through
to 440,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production.
The project is fully funded through an initial US$6 million commitment, with the first
US$3 million tranche to be released once the Mozambican Government formally
approves the transfer of the licences into the JV company. While final Mozambican
Government approval is still pending, Sinowin has already contributed a significant
proportion of the first US$3 million tranche of Sinowin’s US$6 million commitment.
The joint venture is therefore moving steadily towards production, with a more detailed
update to shareholders to be provided shortly.
First-Year Production Target of 130,000 to 160,000 Tonnes
Sinowin Lithium has formalised the Joint Venture’s first-year production target in the
range of130,000 to 160,000 tonnes per annum.The range reflectsthe progressive ramp-
up expected during commissioning and early operations, which will depend on plant
performance, logistics capacity and timing of infrastructure availability.
Following the grant of the Corridor South licence, Sinowin advised the Chongoene Port
and Rail Consortium that the Joint Venture’s future port capacity requirements are
expected to increase significantly — with potential to reach 360,000 tonnes per annum
once external rail and port infrastructure is developed. The Joint Venture has also set a
five-year production objective of 800,000 tonnes per annum.
This revised plan underscores Sinowin’s commitment to fast-tracking development and
scaling production capacity across the Corridor Sands Project. The JV is currently
reviewing Engineering requirements to develop 3 production trains to achieve the first

year’s production target while allowing for further expansion optimisation beyond year
1.
Sinowin’s engineers and local JV team in Mozambique is currently undertaking
extensive preparation work, including site planning, procurement and early-stage
logistical coordination, to expedite project delivery and reduce time to first production.
Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Sinowin will also manage all offtake
agreements, ensuring saleschannelsand providinga major de-risking elementforMRG
by securing long-term revenue certainty.
The grant of the Corridor South licence represents a decisive step toward production,
reinforcing the scale and quality of MRG’s Mozambique assets and positioning the Joint
Venture to deliver first concentrate output within 12-18 months.
Linhuane (7423L)
The Linhuane Exploration Licence (7423L) was granted by the Mozambican National
Mining Institute (INAMI) in May 2025, reflecting continued regulatory support for MRG’s
Mozambique portfolio (refer ASX Announcement 14 May 2025).
Linhuane will form part of Stage 2 of the Corridor Sands Joint Venture, to be added once
annual HMC production reaches 220,000 tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate.
Historical work shows the project contains continuous, near-surface zones of high-
grade heavy mineral sands, with total heavy mineral (THM) grades ranging from 5% to
25% (refer ASX Announcement 14 May 2025).
Historical drilling has intersected 10.5m @ 15.6% THM and 10m @ 17.9% THM,
confirming exceptional mineralisation well above industry averages (refer ASX
Announcement 14 May 2025).
Sinowin will maintain the licence in good standing and fund all field activities until its
formal inclusion in the JV, as per the binding agreement.

Marao (6842L)
At Marao, infill augerdrilling at the Magonde target withhigh grade results (up to 4% THM
over 13.5m from surface (refer ASX Announcement 29 April 2025) generated samples
for planned additional mineralogical studies.
Mineralogical studies are underway to determine valuable heavy mineral content, and
results may support the declaration of a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate
(MRE) for the Magonde target.
Marao is scheduled to join the Joint Venture under Stage 3, following expansion of HMC
production to 440,000 tonnes per annum, providing long-term growth
and additional feedstock for the Corridor Sands operation.
Both projects represent significant long-term upside for the Sinowin Joint Venture,
ensuring a multi-decade mine life and sustained shareholder value creation.
Post-Quarter Adriano Drilling Identifies Potential Alluvial Rare Earth Deposit & Field
Mapping Uncovers Possible Primary Source Rock
Post-quarter exploration commenced at MRG’s 100%-owned Adriano (11002L) Rare
Earth Element (REE) licence in Mozambique, following exceptional first-pass assay
results reported in 2024.
Past results showed all 42 initial stream sediment samples from Adriano returned
anomalous rare earth results, with 74% exceeding 1,000 parts per million (ppm) total
rare earth oxides (TREO) and a peak grade of 32,393 ppm TREO. The results also
confirmed a strong magnetic REE component (~22%) comprising neodymium,
praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium (refer ASX Announcement 17 October 2024).
Field activities commenced in October 2025, with auger drilling, soil sampling and
geological mapping conducted across Adriano’s high-grade drainage corridors.
A total of 37 auger holes were completed, each intersecting heavy-mineral–rich alluvial
material, confirming the potential for an alluvial rare earth deposit.
In addition, pegmatite outcrops were discovered at five separate locations along a 500-
metre stretch of the riverbed, indicating a possible primary hard-rock source for the rare
earth stream sediment anomalism identified in previous sampling.
MRG Metals Limited ABN: 83 148 938 532 / ASX Code: MRQ Phone: +61 3 5330 5800 / Fax: +61 3 5330 5890
12 Anderson Street West, Ballarat VIC 3350 / PO Box 237 Ballarat VIC 3353 www.mrgmetals.com.au / info@mrgmetals.com.au
Confirmation of the discovery of both alluvial and primary mineralisation styles at
Adriano will provide compelling evidence of a new rare earth district-scale system,
extending across the combined Adriano–Fotinho corridor.
Exploration at Fotinho, located directly adjacent to Adriano, is scheduled
to commence in November 2025.
The current program is scheduled to run four to six weeks, with samples to be
dispatched for laboratory analysis in late October and first results expected in
December 2025 / January 2026.
Olinga – Uranium and Rare Earth Exploration Planned
The Olinga Exploration Licence (11005L) forms part of MRG’s 100%-owned critical
minerals and uranium portfolio in Mozambique, positioned northwest of the Adriano–
Fotinho corridor.
Olinga has been prioritised for upcoming exploration based on elevated
uranium/thorium (U/Th) ratios identified in regional aero-radiometric and magnetic
survey data, indicating potential for uranium-rich granitic and metamorphic host rocks.
Exploration at Olinga is planned to commence following completion of current rare
earth fieldwork at Adriano and Fotinho.
The program will involve stream sediment sampling, soil sampling,
geological mapping and outcrop sampling across primary target zones already defined
through drainage analysis.
If successful, Olinga could significantly expand MRG’s exposure to the critical-minerals
sector, complementing the rare earth discovery potential at Adriano–Fotinho and the
large heavy mineral sands assets advancing under the Sinowin Lithium Joint Venture.
