Accordingly, the half-yearly financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the 31 December 2024 annual report and any public announcements made by Waratah Minerals Limited during the period from 1 January 2025 to the date of this report in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Directors' Report Your Directors present their half-yearly report on the Group consisting of Waratah Minerals Limited ("Waratah Minerals" or "the Company") and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 ("the Group"). Directors The names of the Directors of Waratah Minerals Limited during the interim reporting period are as follows. Appointed Mr Peter Duerden Managing Director 10 January 2022 Dr Andrew Stewart Non-Executive Chairman 4 September 2023 Dr Darryl Clark Non-Executive Director 22 October 2020 Ms Naomi Scott Non-Executive Director 4 November 2024 All Directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated. Review of Operations The Group loss for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 was $5,754,659 (30 June 2024: $5,429,115). The Group has continued to carefully manage the operating cost base to ensure the most effective use of its available funding. SPUR PROJECT GOLD-COPPER (EL5238, WTM 100%) The Spur Project (EL5238) is located 5km west from Newmont Corporation's Cadia Valley Project (>50Moz Au, 9.5Mt Cu) and is hosted in equivalent Late Ordovician aged geology of the Molong Belt within the wider Lachlan Fold Belt. Waratah's exploration strategy of targeting the margins of the main early-stage intrusive complex for epithermal-porphyry mineralisation is gaining momentum and supported by the importance of this setting at several major deposits in the Macquarie Arc, e.g. Cadia (>50Moz Au & 9.5Mt Cu, Newmont ASX:NEM), Cowal (9.6Moz Au, Evolution ASX:EVN 2023) and Boda (6.4Moz Au & 1Mt Cu, Alkane ASX:ALK 2023). Figure 1: Spur Project location in the Macquarie Arc, and nearby gold operations and resources, total metal endowment from Phillips 2017, Newmont 2023, CMOC 2023, Evolution 2023, Alkane 2023, Regis 2023 SPUR GOLD CORRIDOR - GROWING EPITHERMAL GOLD SYSTEM The ongoing extensional RC and diamond drilling activity at the Spur Gold Corridor is designed to test zones of epithermal gold mineralisation and investigate a potential link with a porphyry gold-copper system. The drilling is directly testing for extensions to epithermal gold trends whilst building a multielement geochemical dataset to enhance our porphyry vectoring capabilities. A total of 76 RC drillholes totalling 18,852m have been completed to date. Results received in 1H2025 have extended gold zones at the Spur Gold Corridor, with results including: High-grade down plunge extensions at Spur with SPRC063 returning: - 50m @ 1.96 g/t Au from 160m inc. 23m @ 3.48 g/t Au from 187m inc. 8m @ 7.87 g/t Au from 202m High-grade down plunge extensions at Spur with SPRC050 returning: 74m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 310m to EOH inc. 50m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 310m Wide gold zone at Thistle with SPRC036 returning: 251m @ 0.54 g/t Au from 0m inc. 83m @ 0.84 g/t Au from 168m Along strike extensions at Spur South with SPRC052 returning: 4m @ 4.62 g/t Au from 90m and 5m @ 2.50 g/t Au from 158m Along strike extensions at Dalcoath North with SPRC058 returning: 7m @ 3.04 g/t Au from 131m Faulted offset extension at Essex with SPRC062 returning: 11m @ 1.49 g/t Au from 90m and 42m @ 0.61 g/t Au from 211m Drilling extended gold mineralisation 100m downdip at the Spur Zone, within the >1km Spur Gold Corridor and demonstrated continuity of mineralisation at depth, with SPRC050 returning: SPRC050: 74m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 310m to EOH inc. 50m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 310m ending in 5m @ 2.44 g/t Au from 379m at rig capacity Numerous outstanding final intercepts confirmed significant extensions at the Spur Zone, results included: SPRCD050: 77m @ 1.31 g/t Au from 310m inc. 8m @ 3.19 g/t Au from 327m SPRC064: 56m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 252m inc. 32m @ 2.02 g/t Au from 276m SPRCD053: 63m @ 0.69 g/t Au from 327m inc. 8m @ 2.75 g/t Au from 377m Significant new extensions to mineralisation north of the Essex fault in the northeastern extents of the Spur Gold Corridor, with SPRC062 returning: SPRC062: 11m @ 1.49 g/t Au from 90m inc. 1m @ 14.45 g/t Au from 98m and 42m @ 0.61 g/t Au from 211m and 13m @ 1.57g/t Au from 350m and 8m @ 1.59 g/t Au from 397m to EOH. Figure 2: Spur Gold Corridor, Spur Zone, Long Section BRECCIA WEST - DEVELOPING PORPHYRY TARGET Diamond drilling commenced at the Spur Gold-Copper Project in late February1, testing for porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation on the western margin of the main intrusive complex at Breccia West. During the quarter, diamond drilling intersected two zones of porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. One associated with potassic altered magmatic-hydrothermal breccia and a second associated with strong magnetite alteration - porphyry veining hosted within basaltic volcaniclastic/volcanics at the western contact of the main intrusive complex2. Given the strong association with magnetite, a high priority follow-up drill target was defined by a nearby magnetic anomaly and down dip projection of the mineralised magmatic-hydrothermal breccia and is the focus of the current drilling activity. Diamond drill hole BZD001 was designed to test the Breccia West target area for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. The drillhole intersected a sequence of intermineral magmatic-hydrothermal breccia and monzonite porphyry intrusions. Chalcopyrite mineralisation is associated with potassic altered hydrothermal/magmatic breccia and A and B-style porphyry veins (calcite ± magnetite breccia in-fill). There are at least three generations of veining evident within the magmatic-hydrothermal-breccia including: quartz-K-feldspar bearing A veins, early quartz-chalcopyrite-K-feldspar-magnetite ± molybdenite veins within clasts that do not cut the matrix and molybdenite-bearing veins cutting both the clast and the matrix of the breccia. Complex alteration overprinting relationships of early sericite (retrograde phyllic) overprinted by later prograde K-feldspar-biotite-magnetite-actinolite indicates a dynamic multi-phase hydrothermal system. Intercepts reported included 197m @ 0.54% CuEq (0.35% Cu, 0.23g/t Au & 74.55ppm Mo) from 1m, inc. 84m @ 0.62% CuEq (0.40% Cu, 0.26g/t Au & 83.16ppm Mo) from 29m, inc. 12m @ 1.03% CuEq (0.65% Cu, 0.44g/t Au & 79ppm Mo) from 185m. ‌1 ASX Announcement 18 February 2025: Second Rig Commences Drilling at Spur Gold-Copper Project ‌2 ASX Announcement 5 May 2025: Porphyry Copper-Gold intersected at Breccia West Drill hole BZD002 was designed to test the magnetic trend outboard of the main intrusive complex and along strike from the strong proximal porphyry alteration/pathfinder anomalism defined by RC drilling at Dalcoath, 500m south. Chalcopyrite and minor bornite mineralisation is hosted within basaltic volcanics and is associated with strong magnetite-quartz-chalcopyrite veining and magnetite-actinolite-chlorite-k-feldspar (calc-potassic) porphyry alteration. Both zones of mineralisation appear to be late stage in relation to earlier stage pre-mineral intrusions, early-stage porphyry veining and magmatic breccias.

Iron Clad and Golden Clad licences are excised from EL5238. STAVELY STAWELL PROJECT GOLD-COPPER (EL6871, WTM 100%) Exploration activity during the reporting period included community and landholder liaison in preparation for future target definition and exploration activity in the White Rabbit-Wonga corridor. Ongoing exploration results have highlighted the prospectivity of the White Rabbit-Wonga corridor in the project area, with robust indications of Intrusion-related gold (IRG) systems and will form the focus of future exploration activity. Directors' Report (continued) The significance of IRG Mineralisation in the White Rabbit District is demonstrated by the presence of the Wonga IRG Deposit, located 12km northeast and at the southern end of the ~6Moz Stawell Gold Field (Stawell Gold Mines Pty Ltd - Arete Capital Partners) (Figure 4). The White Rabbit District lies along the same regional, northeast trending structural corridor that contains the Wonga Deposit (Figure 4) (Miller and Wilson, 2004). Figure 4: Summary of Stawell Region, highlighting priority IRG White Rabbit-Wonga Corridor, modified from Miller and Wilson 2004 AZURA PROJECT COPPER-NICKEL-GOLD (E80/4944, E80/5116, E80/5347, E80/5348, WTM 100%) Exploration activity during the reporting period included progressing environmental and cultural clearance permitting and discussions with potential funding partners.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (a) Basis of Preparation These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. This interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual report. It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2024 and any public announcements made by Waratah Minerals Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The accounting policies have been consistently applied with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except in relation to the matters disclosed below. The Group has adopted all new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in a significant or material change to the Group's accounting policies. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group. (b) Going Concern The financial report is prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at 30 June 2025, the consolidated entity has net assets of $12,852,446 (2024: $9,891,261) of which $5,888,712 is capitalised exploration expenditure. During the financial year the consolidated entity had cash outflows from operating activities of $4,527,058 (2024: $1,570,126). The Group's principal objective is to create value through the exploration and development of its portfolio of gold and copper projects in Australia. The Group remains in the early stages of the development of its projects and does not presently have sources of operating income to fund these activities. The Directors has prepared a detailed forecast of cash flows through to 30 September 2026 which shows that capital raisings will be required for the Company to continue to fund exploration, corporate and administrative expenditure. It is noted that subsequent to the end of the period the Company raised $11.67m via a share placement with a further $18.33m to be raised subject to shareholder approval in early October 2025. To support its planned level of activities, the Group is reliant on its ability to raise capital from equity markets. Should the Group be unable to realise proceeds from this source, the Directors' have assessed that base case cash needs required to maintain its Australian exploration assets and to support its current level of corporate overheads, could be met from existing cash reserves. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as the Directors believe the Company will be able to pay its debts as when they fall due. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Segment Information Operating Segments Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, is the Board of Directors of Waratah. Segment Reporting AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The Group's operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the Group's operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Group, the Board as a whole has been determined as the chief operating decision maker. The Group operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely mineral exploration in Australia. AASB 8 Operating Segments states that similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one reportable segment. Also, based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, namely mineral exploration. None of the other operating segments currently meet any of the prescribed quantitative thresholds, and as such do not have to be reported separately. The Group has therefore decided to aggregate all segments into one reportable operating segment. The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Group as a whole and are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the Group and are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The performance rights have an expiry date of 4 January 2028 and vest upon announcement of a minimum 1,000,000 ounces of Inferred, Indicated and/or Measured Resources, at a minimum lower cut-off grade of 0.5 grams per tonne of gold at any of the Company's projects reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). As at 30 June 2025, management has assessed that the performance rights are not probable of vesting during the next 12 months therefore no expense has been recognised in relation to these performance rights for the period.

Peter Duerden Managing Director Sydney, New South Wales 2 September 2025 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WARATAH MINERALS LIMITED Report on the Half-Year Financial Report Conclusion We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Waratah Minerals Limited ("the company") and controlled entities ("the consolidated entity") which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 30 June 2025, or during the half year. Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Waratah Minerals Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Conclusion We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. Independence We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Page 22 Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2025 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. PKF P ERTH Shane Cross Partner 02 September 2025 Perth, Western Australia Page 23
