Announcement PDF 29 September 2025 ASX: CRI Excellent Bulk Sample Results Highlight Jupiter’s Consistent Upgrade Potential Initial results show consistent ~95% mass rejection and 6–10x TREO grade uplift in open-circuit bulk trials at GAVAQ (Vietnam); closed-circuit pilot plant now being built to optimise recoveries and produce a Mixed Rare Earth Product (MREP)-ready feed Critica Limited (ASX: CRI) (Critica or the Company) is pleased to report preliminary results from the bulk metallurgical testwork program underway at Centre for Science and Technology of Mineral and Environment (GAVAQ) in Vietnam. This program follows the dispatch of a 400 kg bulk sample announced on 28 May 2025 and represents the first set of outcomes from open-circuit beneficiation trials. The scope will provide key data on tailings characteristics, process efficiency and flowsheet economics. These first bulk sample results show that ore from across Jupiter can consistently achieve ~95% mass rejection with six-to-ten-fold grade uplift, validating Critica’s beneficiation approach on larger samples and providing the technical foundation for downstream testwork and development studies. Announcement Highlights • • • • • • ~95% mass rejection observed across all ore types tested in open-circuit bulk flotation trials. 6–10x grade uplift: head grades of 1,310–2,240 ppm TREO upgraded to 1.2–2.0% TREO in concentrate (12,000–20,000 ppm). Up to 4,500 ppm of Magnet Rare Earth Oxides and 171 ppm Scandium Oxide in intermediate concentrates. Closed-circuit pilot plant under construction at GAVAQ (announced 1 September 2025) to optimise recoveries, generate concentrate for downstream hydromet testwork, and advance MREP specification. Integrated pathway in motion: beneficiation at GAVAQ with parallel hydromet programs at GAVAQ, ANSTO and Minutech to define product chemistry and support future Mixed Rare Earth Product (MREP) qualification and offtake engagement activities. Why this matters: Results support a beneficiation-first flowsheet, providing a clearer pathway toward saleable Mixed Rare Earth Products (MREP). Critica’s CEO Jacob Deysel commented: “We’re very pleased with these bulk trial results. Regardless of ore type, Jupiter consistently delivers about 95% mass rejection with six-to-ten-fold TREO grade uplifts under open-circuit conditions. This validates our beneficiation-first strategy and reinforces the key advantage of Jupiter’s clay mineralogy - unlike ionic clays, it allows us to beneficiate upfront, reducing mass and simplifying downstream processing.

Importantly, we now have an integrated pathway in motion. Together with ANSTO and Minutech, Critica has beneficiation, hydrometallurgy and product chemistry advancing in parallel - all directed toward producing Mixed Rare Earth Products (MREP), which include both Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC) and Mixed Rare Earth Oxide (MREO), setting the technical foundation for our Scoping Study and supporting future offtake engagement.” Understanding Open vs. Closed Circuit 1. Open-circuit trials pass material through each stage once, without recycling intermediate streams. They are the right tool to demonstrate upgrade potential quickly and cost-effectively. 2. Closed-circuit pilots recycle intermediate streams, enabling tuning and stabilisation of the circuit to maximise recoveries while maintaining target concentrate grade. Bulk Testwork Program – What Was Done and Why • • • • Sample & logistics: A ~400 kg composite representing multiple Jupiter ore types was dispatched to GAVAQ (Vietnam) on 28 May 2025. Objective: Demonstrate upgrade potential (mass rejection and grade uplift) in open-circuit beneficiation trials; inform pilot design and downstream hydromet planning. Key metrics so far: o Mass rejection: ~95% across ore types. o Grade uplift: 6–10×, upgrading 1,310–2,240 ppm TREO heads to 1.2–2.0% TREO concentrate. Interpretation: o Open-circuit results, though preliminary, demonstrate Jupiter’s ability to upgrade rare earth content (concentrate grade vs head grade) while rejecting the majority of mass. o Recoveries are expected to be higher under closed-circuit conditions once recycle streams are included and the circuit is tuned. Results are set out in Table 1 below. Table 1.

Jupiter is magnetREE dominant (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb), the value drivers for EV, renewable and defence supply chains. Breakthrough beneficiation testwork has demonstrated ~95% mass rejection with an ~8× grade uplift into a magnet-REE-rich concentrate, underscoring the potential for a simple, capital-efficient flowsheet. With exceptionally low U/Th content, Jupiter presents a distinctive development profile. Critica is pivoting from explorer to developer with a clear mine-to-magnet roadmap: scale beneficiation and leach to pilot, finalise MREP specifications, progress development studies and approvals, and advance product qualification and offtake with Western-aligned partners.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. • • • • • CRITICA LIMITED Level 2, 16 Altona Street, West Perth, Western Australia ABN 51 119 678 385 | T: +61 8 6279 9428 | F: +61 8 6500 9986 | admin@critica.limited | www.critica.limited 11 29 September 2025 ASX: CRI Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary • Data aggregation methods • • • Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths • • • Diagrams • Balanced reporting • Other substantive exploration data • Refer to previous ASX announcements for relevant intersections and assay results. Metal equivalents have not been applied. Refer to previous ASX announcements for relevant Jupiter project intersections and assay results. Standard element to oxide conversion factors have been used and TREO was calculated on an unrounded basis. In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true width not known’ • • • The intersected clay and saprolite zones blanket weathered granitoid basement such that downhole thickness approximate true thickness Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. • Drill hole sample locations are given in Table 2 and above drill hole information section.
