Southern Palladium Executive Chairman, Roger Baxter, commented: "The September quarter has been another
period of substantial progress for Southern Palladium as we continue to advance the Bengwenyama PGM Project
through its final stages of permitting and through the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) phase of development.
The completion of the Environmental Authorisation process without objection was a key milestone which
underscores the quality of our environmental management and community engagement approach. Alongside
this, the results of the Optimised Pre-Feasibility Study have further validated Bengwenyama's exceptional project
economics while introducing a pragmatic staged development model that significantly improves its funding
attractiveness amid a positive market environment for PGM prices globally. The commencement of the
metallurgical and geotechnical drill programme continues the definitive study phase that will underpin the
Company's development decision. In that context, we are pleased to have secured commitments for a two-
tranche placement to raise $20m post quarter-end, which leaves Southern Palladium fully funded for its near-
term works program, and provides the financial strength to advance towards Mining Right approval and a Final
Investment Decision in 2026. Southern Palladium remains committed to developing one of the last low-cost, high
grade, close to surface world-class PGM deposits in the Bushveld Complex, with a strong focus on community
engagement, responsible development, and shareholder value creation."

Southern Palladium (ASX: SPD, "Southern Palladium" or the "Company") is pleased to report on its quarterly
activities summary for the three months ended 30 September 2025.

During the quarter, Southern Palladium made several key advancements on its mine development strategy for
the Bengwenyama PGM (platinum group metals) project, in which it holds a direct 70% stake. The project is
strategically positioned in the heart of the world class Bushveld Complex – the largest source of PGMs globally
– in a significant underground mining region with established expertise, services and critical infrastructure.

Overview of September Quarter Activities

September quarter activities were highlighted by the delivery of an optimised PFS via staged development with
NPV of US$857m, the commencement of the DFS drilling and metallurgical works program to further the DFS
work that started earlier in the year, and the formal receipt of Environmental Authorisation approval with no
objections lodged. These developments were complemented by ongoing strength in global PGM prices, and
strong commitments post quarter end for a two-tranche placement to raise A$20 million which leaves Southern
Palladium fully funded to advance the Bengwenyama PGM project through to a final investment decision.
                                                                                                               
Completion of Environmental Authorisation (EA) Process

In early July, the Company confirmed that no objections were lodged during the designated objection period
following the granting of EA by the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR). This marked the
successful completion of the EA approval process and represented an important regulatory milestone toward the
award of a Mining Right for Bengwenyama.

Optimised PFS via staged development with NPV of US$857m

Released in July, the optimised Pre-Feasibility Study (OPFS) confirmed robust project economics with a staged
production option will provide the best balance between unlocking project value and allowing the Company to
fund project development with minimal future dilution for shareholders

Key parameters of the OPFS included:

• Project level NPV8 (after tax, 100% basis) for the OPFS is estimated at US$857m (A$1.3bn) and an internal
  rate of return of 26.4%.
    •   Valuation based on the weighted basket PGM price used in the original PFS. The current spot basket prices
        are ~32% higher, equating to a ~US$600m uplift in real post tax NPV. After considering the strengthening of
        the South African Rand since the completion of the study, the uplift is still ~US$300m.
• A staged production proposal, assuming an initial Stage 1 production rate of 1,200,000 tpa expanding after
  4 years to 2,400,000 tpa.
• Peak funding requirement of US$279m – representing a 38% reduction (US$173m) to the peak funding total
  set out in the PFS (refer ASX Announcement 28 October 2024).
• Stage 1 is expected to be a strongly cash generative project in its own right, meaning that it should be able
  to attract traditional market-related debt project financing, with Stage 2 to be funded through cash
  generated via Stage 1 production.
• All-in Sustaining costs for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 remain attractive and lie within the lowest quartile for
  PGM projects globally. The stage 1 decline will intersect UG2 reef at 50m below surface and the whole reef
  is shallow in comparison to most mines on the Eastern limb.

The options to utilise existing mineral processing infrastructure in the area — which could result in further
significant reductions to peak funding requirements — are also being evaluated.

Continued Strength in Global PGM Prices

Platinum group metal (PGM) markets continued to strengthen through 2025, supported by persistent structural
supply deficits, particularly in platinum and rhodium. The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) forecasts a
platinum deficit of 850,000 ounces for the year — the third consecutive year of supply shortfalls — driven by
declining South African mine output and constrained recycling growth. The WPIC predicts ongoing deficits of over
500,000 ounces per annum through to 2029, with above ground stocks being whittled down at a fast pace. Supply
of palladium remains constrained by the gradual decline in South African mining production along with
recalibration of production from the USA. Slower mine supply offsets the growth in palladium scrap recovery.
Nonetheless, palladium is in its fourth year of deficit.

Demand fundamentals also remain firm, with slight declines in platinum demand for automotive catalysts and
industrial applications, being more than offset by strong growth in jewellery and investment demand. In palladium,
stable automotive and industrial demand are key features as hybrid vehicles gain market share. Meanwhile, the
expansion of the hydrogen economy — particularly in heavy transport applications — is emerging as a major new
source of medium-term demand for platinum and iridium.

As a result, platinum prices have risen more than 79% year-to-date, making it one of the strongest performing
metals of 2025, while palladium and rhodium prices have risen more than 50% and the ruthenium price nearly
doubled ytd. This ongoing price strength continues to support the favourable economics and global strategic
relevance of the Bengwenyama PGM Project.

Commencement of Metallurgical & Geotechnical Drilling

During the quarter, Southern Palladium advanced its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) with the commencement in
September of a ~10,000m metallurgical and geotechnical drill programme. Five rigs are active on site, with drilling
designed to collect a 140kg bulk sample from the UG2 Reef for definitive metallurgical testing. Ongoing
geotechnical drilling will also inform the design of the initial decline and surface infrastructure foundations. The
surface geotechnical drilling programme for design of the declines and civils of the surface infrastructure started.

Activities Post Quarter-End

Environmental Guarantee Lodged

In early October, the Company lodged its Environmental Guarantee with the DMPR, in compliance with mine
development and rehabilitation financial provision regulations. This milestone follows the completion of the EA
process and supports the imminent approval of the Mining Right.

A$20 Million Placement and SPP

Post quarter-end, Southern Palladium received firm commitments for a two-tranche placement of 18.18 million
shares at A$1.10 per share to raise A$20 million before costs. The Placement was supported by one of the
Company's largest shareholders and new offshore institutional investors. An accompanying Share Purchase Plan
(SPP) of up to A$1 million will allow retail shareholders to participate on equal terms. Funds will be used to advance
the DFS, permitting (including decline development), and early mine development activities leading up to the Final
Investment Decision (FID).

December 2025 Quarter Planned Activities

•     Continued execution of metallurgical and geotechnical drilling, with results to feed into the DFS model.
•     Ongoing evaluation of processing and offtake options to optimise project economics.
•     Planned finalisation of the Mining Right award process with the DMPR.
•     Progress of stakeholder and community engagement in support of the project's mine development phase.
•     Integration of updated metallurgical and resource data into a Definitive Feasibility Study, targeting completion in
      1H CY2026.
