Summary of important events in the second quarter of 2025:

· The Company recorded one Lost Time Injury (LTI) related to production at the
Engebø Plant in the second quarter.

· The initial commercial shipment of garnet was dispatched in May, and a total
3,900 tonnes of garnet were produced in the second quarter.

· The production ramp-up continued in the second quarter until the planned
maintenance and modification downtime in July. The shutdown was executed
according to plan and allowed for essential upgrade and repairs, ensuring
reliability and throughput in the process plant.

· Ramp-up of rutile production has commenced with the target of producing
rutile ready for shipment to customers by the end of the third quarter.

· The company reported first revenues from Engebø in the quarter of NOK 2.7
million from the sale of two first shipments of garnet. Reported operating loss
for the second quarter was NOK -103.4 million.

· In August, the court of appeals ruled in favor of the NGOs in their case
against the Norwegian state in which the NGOs challenged the key permits for the
Engebø rutile and garnet project. Nordic Mining is not a party in the court
case. The permits for the Engebø rutile and garnet project remain valid for the
company and the production ramp up proceeds according to plan.


· The Company ended the quarter with NOK 438.5 million in cash, providing a
financial foundation and sufficient liquidity to support operations until
positive cash flow is achieved.

The production of garnet was stabilized at low volumes awaiting further
production volume ramp up after planned downtime for maintenance and
modifications in July. The initial commercial shipment of garnet was dispatched
in May, and a total 3,900 tonnes of garnet was produced in the second quarter.

In August the processing plant started production again and we are working on
ramping up the plant throughput and mineral recoveries. The modifications made
in July are so far showing capacity performance according to expectations.

The crushing and milling circuit are currently at around 75% of throughput
design capacity with downstream mineral separation equipment being re-adjusted
for the increased throughput.

Main focus for the production ramp-up at Engebø going forward is threefold:

· Increase towards designed throughput in each liberation and separation step
· Increase operational time of the plant
· Increase recovery of final mineral concentrate

As the ramp-up continues we are in a phase with uncertainty, where process
equipment increases load and extend operating hours. Additional unforeseen
challenges or debottlenecking requirements might occur as the ongoing tasks are
of high complexity, and activities are running in parallel to achieve the
production ramp-up plans. Nordic Mining remains committed to reaching steady
production at design capacity for both rutile and garnet by the end of 2025.
