Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders,
FY25 has been a defining year for MRG Metals. We are proud of the substantial progress
achieved across our portfolio, particularly in advancing the World-class, two billion tonne
Corridor Sands Joint Venture (JV) in Mozambique.
During the year, we materially advanced the Corridor Sands JV with our partner, Sinowin
Lithium. Securing both the Corridor Central and Corridor South mining licences was a major derisking milestone, providing the regulatory foundation for development. These licences
underpin a JORC resource in excess of two billion tonnes, positioning MRG as one of the most
significant heavy mineral sands developers in the region.
Sinowin has already invested more than US$1 million into pre-production activities, and the
first US$3 million tranche of their US$6 million commitment will be deposited once the
Mozambican Government finalises the transfer of the licences into the JV entity, Terriland.
Importantly, the JV structure ensures Sinowin funds 100% of development and operating costs
up to 440,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of production, with MRG free-carried at 30% equity in
Stage One, reducing to a floor of 20% in later stages. A binding US$50 million drag-along clause
further underpins the strategic value of our equity position.
Our pathway is now clear: initial production of 110,000tpa of heavy mineral concentrate within
12–18 months, scaling up to 220,000tpa and then 440,000tpa. Offtake agreements are fully
managed by Sinowin, ensuring sales channels are in place and de-risking a key component of
project delivery.
Beyond licences and funding, important groundwork has been laid. A US$500,000
Environmental and Social Impact Study is underway; Mozambique’s state utility EDM has
indicated they would invest US$820,000 for electrical infrastructure to enable year one
production and Sinowin has assumed full operational control on the ground. Once final
government approvals are received, the JV is well-positioned to move rapidly into construction
and production.
Parallel to progress at Corridor Sands, MRG advanced its highly prospective rare earth element
portfolio. At Adriano, our maiden exploration program delivered outstanding results, with every
sample returning anomalous rare earths, 74% exceeding 1,000 parts per million TREO, and a
peak of 3.24%. Notably, magnetic rare earths such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium,
and terbium accounted for ~22% of the total, commodities critical to electric vehicles and wind
energy.
Adjacent to Adriano, the Fotinho licence creates the foundation of a district-scale rare earth
corridor. Exploration will commence in October 2025, building on Adriano’s early success and
targeting both hard rock and alluvial mineralisation. Together, these assets represent a second
growth engine for MRG, well aligned with global demand, which is forecast to triple by 2035.
Adding further depth to our portfolio, the Olinga Project was granted during the year, providing
exposure to both uranium and rare earth elements. Early work programs including stream
sediment sampling, auger drilling, and mineralogy are underway. Olinga diversifies our footprint
into uranium, a commodity experiencing renewed global demand as nuclear power re-emerges

as a key part of the clean energy transition. Adriano, Fotinho, and Olinga together establish
MRG as a critical minerals and energy-transition company, not just a HMS developer.
Our ability to achieve these milestones has also depended on the continued support of our
Shareholders. Over the past 12 months, we successfully executed minimal capital raisings, as
required to provide critical working capital to advance both the JV and our exploration
portfolio. This funding has been instrumental to our progress, and I extend sincere thanks to
Shareholders for their confidence and commitment.
The foundations laid this year provide a strong platform for the future. With a fully funded path
to production, strategic partnerships, and an increasingly diversified critical minerals portfolio,
we are confident in our ability to deliver sustainable shareholder value.
On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your ongoing support as we move into this exciting next
chapter.

Review of Operations
Mozambique Joint Venture – Fully Funded 2 Billion Tonne Heavy Mineral Sands
The financial year marked a transformational period for MRG Metals as it advanced the fully
funded two billion tonne Corridor Sands Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) Project in Mozambique
toward development.
Production is targeted in the next 12 to 18 months.
The Joint Venture (JV) with Sinowin Lithium (HK) Co., Ltd and Sinowin Lithium Cobalt Ltd
(collectively “Sinowin”) was formally established, with the JV company Terriland now
operational and majority-funded by our partner. Sinowin brings a strong history of identifying
high-growth resource projects and converting them into significant shareholder value, having
advanced and exited major ventures in other jurisdictions, including a recent successful exit in
Canada valued at approximately US$86.5 million, before committing capital to Mozambique.
Key regulatory approvals were secured during the year. In January 2025, the Corridor Central
Mining Licence (11142C) was granted by Mozambique’s National Mining Institute (INAMI) and
signed by the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy. This licence covers the Koko Massava
deposit, which hosts a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.53 billion tonnes at 5.1% total
heavy minerals (THM), including a high-grade zone of 103 Mt at 6.6% THM.
In June 2025, the Corridor South Mining Licence (11137C) was approved, which includes the
Nhacutse and Poiombo deposits, collectively containing 860 Mt at 4.9% THM with 257 Mt at
6.0% THM in high-grade material.
The JV is awaiting only the final approval from the Mozambique Government on the transfer of
these licenses into the JV entity. Administrative restructuring within INAMI has temporarily
delayed the formal transfer of Corridor Central and South licences into the JV entity. This is
expected to be resolved before the end of 2025.
Although the first US$3 million tranche has not yet been formally deposited, a large share of
these funds has already been applied to advance pre-production activities, with Sinowin having
contributed an estimated US$1 million so far. Once the formal transfer of ownership has been
approved, the first US$3 million tranche will be deposited into the JV’s bank account.
Importantly, Sinowin has committed to fund 100% of capital and operating costs through to a
production rate of 440,000 tonnes per annum.
Joint Venture Structure
The JV is structured such that Sinowin holds 70% and MRG 30% at inception, with MRG free
carried until steady-state operations.
The staged development pathway is clearly defined:
• Phase One will target production of 110,000 tonnes per annum of heavy mineral
concentrate within 12–18 months, with mine planning, environmental and social impact
assessments, and procurement already advanced.
Annual Report FY25 I MRG Metals Limited | ABN: 83 148 938 532 | Year ended 30 June 2025

•
•
Phase Two will expand production to 220,000 tpa, underpinned by the integration of
Linhuane’s high-grade mineralisation, where drilling has confirmed intercepts up to
17.9% THM.
Phase Three will lift output to 440,000 tpa, incorporating the Marao licence, at which
point MRG’s interest adjusts to 20% but remains free carried.
In addition, the Linhuane Licence (7423L) was granted in May 2025. This asset is regarded
as a potential company-maker given:
• The Linhuane project contains continuous, near-surface zones of HMS and is within
proximity of Corridor Sands.
• Exceptionally high Total Heavy Mineral grades, ranging from 5% to 25%.
• THM at shallow depths (up to 10.5m), with standout drill results such as 10.5m @ 15.6%
THM and 10m @ 17.9% HM.
• Such grades are well above industry averages and have the potential to substantial
value to the JV.
During FY25, MRG completed a 100-hole infill auger drilling program at the Magonde target
within the Marao licence.
Results:
• Laboratory assay results confirming standout mineralisation: 24MUHA048 returned
4.0% THM to 13.5m depth; 24MUHA070 returned 3.4% THM to 13.5m depth.
• Individual sample grades as high as 4.57% THM.
• Average THM assay grades were 8% higher than visually estimated values.
• Valuable Heavy Mineral (VHM) content confirmed at 48.16%, including rutile, zircon, and
ilmenite.
• Geological continuity confirmed across 100-hole program totalling 1,350m.
• Potential to support a future JORC-compliant resource.
These results validate Marao inclusion as a future JV asset, scheduled to be transferred into
the JV once Stage 3 production is underway.
Offtakes are De-Risked
A key strength of MRG’s Joint Venture structure with Sinowin Lithium is the complete
de-risking of the offtake strategy — often a major barrier for early-stage resource projects in
frontier markets.
Unlike most junior-led developments, where offtake must be secured before funding or
construction, the MRG-Sinowin JV structure delegates all offtake responsibilities to Sinowin.
Advantages:
•
•
•
•
•
Removes the need for MRG to source offtake partners or negotiate long-term contracts
independently.
Eliminates the requirement for a pilot plant, avoiding up to US$10 million in CAPEX and
associated delays.
Streamlines project delivery by avoiding complex sampling and testwork logistics.
Leverages Sinowin’s established commercial network in China to secure multiple
offtake options and downstream engagement.
Sinowin has advised the Chongoene rail and industrial wharf consortium that JV
production targets are increasing to 360,000 tonnes in Year 1, with a five-year goal of
800,000 tonnes per annum
Annual Report FY25 I MRG Metals Limited | ABN: 83 148 938 532 | Year ended 30 June 2025

With current market prices for concentrate exceeding US$300 per tonne the Company has
strong near-term revenue visibility.
Project Delivery
Sinowin Lithium has taken control of JV field operations in early 2025 and is now driving the
development roadmap. Key activities include:
•
•
•
•
•
Funding all costs associated with licensing, permitting, exploration, management and
early works.
EDM (Mozambique’s state utility) has confirmed electricity supply for Year 1 production
with ~US$820,000 in JV capex committed for substation and line connection.
Expansion planning is underway to meet the staged ramp-up.
EIAS Study (contracted at >US$500k) expected to complete in 2025, after minor delays
due to post-election disruption.
Progressing pre-construction engineering works and procurement to meet the 12–18
month production timeline, supported by in-country staff and approvals from key
government bodies.
In parallel, Sinowin is progressing pre-construction engineering works and
procurement to meet the 12–18 month production timeline, supported by in country
staff and approvals from key government bodies.
Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIAS)
EIAS with contract value in excess of USD$500,000 (refer ASX Announcement 8 November
2024):
•
•
Progresses after 6-8 week delay associated with social unrest.
Planned completion moved to mid Q3, 2025.
Electrical supply
•
•
•
•
The JV has requested power supply from Electricidade de Moçambique, E.P. (EDM), a
state-owned energy company of Mozambique. EDM has confirmed capacity for year 1,
with transmission line and substation connection costs of circa USD$0.82 million.
Supply in years 2 and 3 will be at higher levels with a planned plant expansion to require
substation work, with Capex commitments from EDM/JV approaching USD$2 Million.
The confirmation of year 1 supply is a significant benefit as the JV will be able to
evaluate the best approach for plant expansion, while knowing Stage 1 plant
requirements can be met by local supply.
With licences secured, funding commitments in place, and Sinowin managing the pathway
to production, the Joint Venture is firmly positioned to transition from development to
revenue generation within the next 12–18 months.
Developing Highly Prospective Rare Earths and Uranium Assets
In parallel with advancing the Heavy Mineral Sands joint venture, MRG Metals has built
significant momentum across its pipeline of rare earth element (REE) and uranium assets in
Mozambique.
These licences are supported by exceptional results from Adriano, which highlight its strong
potential as a rare earth deposit. In addition, Fotinho lies directly adjacent to Adriano, together
forming a large drainage catchment with proven rare earth element and thorium prospectivity.

Mozambique Exploration Portfolio
•
•
•
•
Adriano Project (Licence 11002L): The Company’s maiden program delivered
outstanding results, with 100% of stream sediment samples anomalous in rare earths
and 74% assaying above 1,000 ppm TREO. Peak assays reached 32,393 ppm TREO
(3.24%), with magnetic rare earths (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb) comprising ~22% of the assemblage,
underscoring the project’s high-value profile. Mobilisation for follow-up exploration,
including auger drilling, soil sampling, and mineralogical testwork, is scheduled for late
September 2025.
Fotinho Project (Licence 11000L): Granted in late 2024, Fotinho sits directly adjacent
to Adriano, creating a district-scale REE corridor with combined potential for both
hard-rock and alluvial mineralisation. Exploration will commence in October 2025 and is
expected to validate the catchment-wide REE potential.
Forming a large drainage catchment: Fotinho sits directly alongside Adriano, with
exploration commencing mid-October and targeting the definition of a strong, districtscale REE corridor
Olinga Project (Licence 11005L): Olinga’s Uranium potential is based on elevated
uranium/thorium ratios observed in geophysical surveys.
Together, Adriano, Fotinho and Olinga establish a highly prospective exploration hub in
Mozambique outside the HMS joint venture, providing a diversified portfolio.
Zimbabwe – Shawa Carbonatite Complex
Exploration at the Shawa Carbonatite Complex has confirmed multi-commodity potential.
Laboratory assays returned phosphate grades up to 17.24% P₂O₅ and rare earth concentrations
exceeding 2,500 ppm TREO.
A 50 kg bulk sample is undergoing metallurgical testwork targeting a concentrate grade of
~30% P₂O₅, while vermiculite and additional REE mineralisation provide further upside.
Trenching and reverse circulation drilling are planned to test continuity of grade and tonnage in
the coming phases.
Strategic Value
Taken together, MRG’s REE and uranium portfolio positions the Company at the forefront of
future-facing commodities.
While the HMS joint venture is expected to deliver near-term cash flow, the exploration
portfolio provides exposure to sectors with structural long-term demand growth.
This dual strategy ensures shareholders benefit from both imminent production and
participation in the accelerating global shift toward critical minerals.

Business risk management
The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertainty in the
Company’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value. There are various
risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives
and future prospects.
Key risks and mitigation activities associated with the Company's objectives are set out
below:
The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertainty in the
Company’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value. There are various
risks that could have a material impact on the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives
and future prospects.
Exploration and development risk
The Company’s projects are at various stages of exploration and development, and potential
investors should understand that mineral exploration is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no
assurance that exploration of these projects, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the
future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including
geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated
operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, local title
processes, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the
Company.
Annual Report FY25 I MRG Metals Limited | ABN: 83 148 938 532 | Year ended 30 June 2025
15
In addition, the tenements forming the projects of the Company may include various restrictions
excluding, limiting or imposing conditions upon the ability of the Company to conduct
exploration activities. While the Company will formulate its exploration plans to accommodate
and work within such access restrictions, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
satisfy such conditions on commercially viable terms, or at all.
The Company uses a number of exploration techniques in order to reduce the level of
exploration risks and continues to explore new and innovative technologies through its day to
day operations.
Regulatory risk
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including
renewal) of the tenements in which the Company has or acquires an interest. Maintenance of the
Company’s tenements is dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet the
licence conditions imposed by relevant authorities. Although the Company has no reason to
think that the tenements in which it currently has an interest will not be renewed, there is no
assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that
new conditions will not be imposed by the relevant authority or whether the Company will be able
to meet the conditions of renewal on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
The Company works with local government and mining departments to ensure it meets the
required level of reporting requirements and to reduce any potential for breach of regulatory
requirements
Future funding risk
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue in the
foreseeable future. Exploration and development costs and pursuit of its business plan will use
funds from the Company's current cash reserves and the amounts raised under future Equity
Offers.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower
prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit
the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictions on financing and operating activities.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be
made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms
favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as
needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The Company’s funding requirements are reviewed on a regular basis in
order to mitigate future funding risk.
Farm in and joint venture risk
The Company has commenced a joint venture on its Mozambique Corridor Sands projects during the
year. This joint venture arrangement is subject to conditions and expenditure requirements to
achieve certain ownership percentage ownership of the relevant projects.
