Ramelius Resources (RMS) investor relations material

Executive summary

• Half year results to December 2025 delivered during a transition phase, with gold production at its lowest in recent years (100,623–101,000 ounces), mainly due to Edna May being placed into care and maintenance and lower mined grades; higher production is planned for Q4 FY26 with Dalgaranga high-grade ore.

• First ore from the Never Never Deposit at Dalgaranga hauled to Mount Magnet, marking a key milestone post-Spartan acquisition.

• Completed acquisition of Spartan Resources, adding Dalgaranga gold mine with significant reserves and resources, increasing net assets and providing substantial tax losses.

• Released Pre-Feasibility Study for Never Never Underground Deposit and Definitive Feasibility Study for Rebecca-Roe Gold Project, both showing strong economic returns.

• Production on track to deliver FY 2026 guidance just below 200,000 ounces, aiming for 500,000 oz by FY 2030.
