Sustainability Report 2025

Executive Co-Chairman Message

Dear Stakeholders,

It is with great pleasure that I present the Novo Resources Corp (Novo) Sustainability Report for 2025,

reflecting our continued commitment to responsible growth and environmental stewardship.

Over the past year, we have taken steps to embed sustainability deeper into our operations, in line with our core values. This has included strengthening our acquisition due diligence process, placing greater emphasis on climate-related risks and sustainability performance. We have also reviewed and updated our Board Committee Charters to reflect the current state of our business and ensure sustainability considerations are integrated into strategic decision making at every level.

Novo remains in a strong financial position and continues to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value while supporting our sustainability objectives. This year, we expanded our portfolio with three new projects - two in New South Wales (John Bull and Tibooburra) and one in Western Australia (Toolunga). We also continue to manage our joint ventures, working collaboratively with partners SQM and Northern Star.

This report outlines our progress and sets out our commitments for the year ahead, including how we intend to evolve our approach to managing climate-related risks, community engagement and land management with a view to contribute to more sustainable outcomes.

I would like to thank the Novo team, our partners and our stakeholders for their ongoing support and engagement. Together, we are building a resilient and responsible business that delivers long-term value for all.

We hope you enjoy the report.

Mike Spreadborough

Executive Co-Chairman
