Funds to Support Los Lirios Antimony Drill Program, Mexico

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Receipt of A$600,000 in cash from Koba Resources Ltd (ASX:KOB) following the completion of the Khartoum Project sale.
  • Funds bolster the Company’s Balance sheet with maiden drill program at the Los Lirios Antimony Project in Mexico, scheduled to commence before the end of January 2026.
  • The transaction aligns with EVR’s strategy to monetise non-core assets and reallocate capital toward defining a maiden JORC resource at Los Lirios in Q3 CY2026.

EV Resources (ASX: EVR) (“EVR” or “the Company”) is pleased to confirm it has received funds pursuant to the binding sale of its 100% owned Khartoum Project in Queensland.

The receipt of funds follows the transaction announced on 7 October 2025, under which EVR agreed to sell the Khartoum Project to ASX-listed Koba Resources Limited (“Koba”) for total consideration of A$700,000 in cash plus a 1% net smelter return royalty, subject to customary conditions. With final conditions cleared, Koba has transferred the remaining balance of the settlement amount ($600,000) to EVR, completing the transaction.

Use of Funds: Accelerating High-Grade Antimony Exploration

The proceeds from this sale strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and will be applied primarily to:

  • Advancing the maiden drill program at the Los Lirios Antimony Project in Mexico; and
  • General and Administrative expenses

The capital allocation supports the Company’s strategic goal to monetise non-core assets and aggressively reallocate capital to high-priority antimony projects in North America.

Operational Update: Los Lirios Project

The Los Lirios drill program is designed to test priority targets along the Lirios Fault Zone (LFZ). The Company has recently commenced mobilisation of a drill rig and crew to site. Drilling is expected to commence prior to the end of January 2026.

The primary objective of this program is to accelerate exploration towards defining a maiden JORC resource in Q3 CY2026, capitalising on the growing demand for antimony as a critical and strategic metal.

Next Steps

Following the expected commencement of drilling in late January, the Company anticipates a steady flow of news over the coming months. Immediate milestones include:

  • Late Jan 2026: Commencement of drilling at Los Lirios.
  • Short Term: Receipt of channel sampling assay results from Los Lirios
  • Short Term: Receipt of rock chip reconnaissance sampling assay results from Dollar and Milton Projects, Nevada.
  • Next 6-10 weeks: Receipt of initial drilling results.
  • Mid Term: Commencing orientational geophysical surveys over historical pits to determine most responsive geophysical survey system-April.
  • Q1 CY2026: Finalisation of preliminary engineering and budget for Tecomatlán Plant and commencement of Phase 1 refurbishment.

About EV Resources

EV Resources (ASX: EVR) is a critical minerals exploration and development company focused on securing the North American antimony supply chain.

We are rapidly transitioning from a diversified explorer to a near-term producer. Our strategy is centred on antimony, a critical mineral designated by the US, EU, and Australia as essential for energy storage, battery technology, defence, and high-tech applications.

Our asset portfolio is strategically positioned in mining-friendly jurisdictions:

  • Los Lirios Antimony Project (Mexico): Our flagship, high-grade project. We are fast-tracking Los Lirios to production, a goal supported by our acquisition of the nearby Tecomatlán Processing Plant, which provides a low-capex path to cash flow.
  • US Antimony Projects (Nevada): We hold a 100% interest in the Dollar and Milton Canyon antimony projects, key assets in our strategy to build a secure, domestic critical minerals supply chain for the United States.
