SGA: Upstream Definitive Feasibility Study

Sarytogan Graphite Limited announced the results of its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the Upstream Sarytogan Graphite Project in Central Kazakhstan, confirming robust economics with a pre-tax NPV8 of US$132.7M and an IRR of 19.8%. The DFS outlines an Ore Reserve of 14.5Mt at 29.1% TGC, supporting a 50+ year mine life, and projects 50,000 tpa of 90% LOI1000 graphite concentrate at a low operating cost of US$364/t. The study de-risks the project development pathway, although financing and offtake agreements are still pending.

Drill Results

ARRAS MINERALS DRILLS 574 METRES @ 0.40% CUEQ (0.23 G/T AU, 0.11% CU, 0.76 G/T AG, 38.84 PPM MO) AT BEREZSKI CENTRAL AND INTERSECTS 22.8 METRES @ 5.37 G/T AU ON THE NEWLY DEFINED EPITHERMAL TARGET AT K-OZEK IN KAZAKHSTAN

Arras Minerals announced new drill results from its Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, highlighting a broad 574-meter intercept at 0.40% copper equivalent at Berezski Central and a high-grade 22.8-meter intercept at 5.37 g/t gold at the K-Ozek epithermal target. These results support an emerging large porphyry copper-gold system and a well-preserved epithermal gold system, with potential for a deeper porphyry beneath K-Ozek. The company continues its 40,000-meter diamond drill program, with some lab turnaround times still extended.

Replacement: US Strategic RE Separation MoU

Ferro-Alloy Resources Limited has signed a non-binding MoU with US-based Maglut Heavy Industries Inc to potentially supply mixed rare earth concentrate (MREC) from its Balasausqandiq project. Initial test work demonstrated high purities (>99%) and strong indicative recoveries (~91.4%) using a proprietary chromatography platform. The REEs would be recovered from residual leach solutions generated during vanadium extraction, offering a low-cost value-add opportunity.

ARRAS MINERALS FURTHER DEFINES 2.5 KM AND 3.5 KM COPPER-GOLD TARGETS ALONG BEREZSKI PORPHYRY TREND & APPOINTS DR. FARHAD BOUZARI AS PRINCIPAL GEOSCIENTIST

Arras Minerals has defined two large, untested copper-gold target corridors extending up to 3.5 km north of the Berezski deposits using top-of-bedrock (KGK) drilling. The results show strong gold and copper geochemistry coincident with magnetic lows, suggesting hydrothermal alteration and potential concealed porphyry mineralization. The company also appointed Dr. Farhad Bouzari as Principal Geoscientist.
