### Footnotes:

(1) Represents common stock and the number of shares of common stock underlying Chess Depositary Interests ("CDIs") as converted on a 1:12 common stock to CDI ratio pursuant to a scheme of arrangement, completed on June 16, 2016 (the "Scheme") between Nova Minerals Ltd., an Australian public company and predecessor to the Issuer ("Predecessor"). The CDIs are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX") and are held by CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty, Limited, a subsidiary of ASX Limited, the company that operates the ASX.

(2) As the sole shareholder and director of this entity, the reporting person has voting and investment control over the reported shares of common stock.

(3) 93,750 of the shares underlying these stock options are fully vested and exercisable. The remaining shares underlying these stock options will vest upon the completion of certain operational and/or sales milestones, subject to continuing employment by the reporting person.

(4) These stock options were originally rights to receive ordinary shares of the Predecessor. Pursuant to the Scheme, the stock options became rights to be issued shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the ratio of one share of Common Stock for every 12 ordinary shares of Predecessor to which the holder would otherwise have been entitled.

(5) The exercise price was converted from A$0.45, which reflects the 12:1 consolidation ratio applied in converting ordinary shares of Predecessor to shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, using the exchange rate as published by the Reserve Bank of Australia in effect on June 14, 2026. The actual exercise price will be the Australian dollar amount regardless of the exchange rate on the date of grant or of exercise.

(6) Each performance right represents the right to receive a fully paid share of common stock  subject to certain operational and financial milestones prior to the expiration date.

(7) These performance were originally rights to receive ordinary shares of the Predecessor. Pursuant to the Scheme, the performance rights became rights to be issued shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the ratio of one share of Common Stock for every 12 ordinary shares of Predecessor to which the holder would otherwise have been entitled.

(8) As the sole shareholder and director of this entity, the reporting person has voting and investment control over the underlying shares of common stock.
