Early Validation of Biochar-Asphalt by NCAT Marks Industry Breakthrough

On July 28, 2025, Verde Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "Verde") announced that its proprietary Cold-Mix Biochar Asphalt has received early performance validation from the National Center for Asphalt Technology ("NCAT"), following approximately 50,000 Equivalent Single Axle Loads ("ESALs") of testing at NCAT's Pavement Test Track located in Opelika, Alabama.

NCAT's initial observations indicate that Verde's carbon-sequestering asphalt has demonstrated resilience and flexibility under continuous 80-ton truck traffic. According to NCAT, Verde's material is the first tested at its facility with a dedicated carbon sequestration component, distinguishing the Company as an early mover in climate-positive infrastructure solutions. Based on performance observed to date, the material appears suitable for low-traffic applications such as local roads and residential subdivisions. While this early validation supports use in light-duty pavements, long-term evaluations are ongoing as part of NCAT's multi-year testing cycle to assess viability in medium to high-traffic environments.

The Company believes this early validation represents a key milestone in support of its ongoing commercialization strategy. On May 30, 2025, the Company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, the largest liquid asphalt producer in North America, and anticipates executing a long-term exclusive agreement by September 2025 to enable nationwide rollout of its technology.

This development follows the company's April 2025 announcement that its Biochar-Asphalt was the first in the world to generate verified Carbon Removal Credits from asphalt, certified by Puro.earth and purchased by a major global financial institution. The proof-of-concept project was completed in partnership with Oregon Biochar Solutions (OBS).

The Company considers the NCAT validation to be a material event, given the independent nature of the technical assessment, its role in accelerating commercial adoption, and the broader implications for sustainable infrastructure, particularly in mitigating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across the construction sector.

A copy of the press release dated July 28, 2025, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Verde's Carbon-Sequestering BioAsphalt™ Earns Early Validation from NCAT**

ST. LOUIS, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- <u>Verde Resources Inc.</u> (OTCQB: VRDR), an emerging leader in sustainable infrastructure solutions, and the <u>National Center for Asphalt Technology_(NCAT)</u> are pleased to share early performance observations from the Biochar- Asphalt test section installed at NCAT's world-renowned Test Track since December 2024.

The test section, composed of Verde's proprietary Cold-Mix Biochar Asphalt, represents a world-first deployment of an asphalt material engineered to sequester carbon while maintaining competitive strength and flexibility for roadway applications. The Biochar- Asphalt test section is showing indicators of durability and resilience, particularly for low- volume applications.

"We've had plenty of materials and ideas come through the Test Track over the years, but few show the carbon reduction potential that Verde's Biochar Asphalt does, and it's definitely the first technology on the track with a carbon sequestration component," said Nathan Moore, Assistant Director for Test Track Research at NCAT. ''After nearly 50,000 ESALs of heavy 80-ton truck traffic, the surface remains flexible and has delivered consistent performance. Based on what I've observed to date, this material appears well suited for use in low-traffic applications like local roads and subdivisions."

While the early validation confirms its suitability for light-duty pavements, continuous evaluations are underway to determine its long-term viability for medium to high-traffic roadways, as part of NCAT's multi-year test cycle.

Verde's Biochar-Asphalt is also <u>the first in the world to generate verified Carbon Removal Credits</u>, certified through Pura.earth and purchased by one of the largest financial institutions in the world earlier this year. This breakthrough has positioned the company as a pioneer in turning asphalt from a traditional emitter into a climate-positive material, actively mitigating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across the construction value chain. Scope 1 reductions arise from lower temperature mixing and onsite emissions, Scope 2 from reduced energy needs, and Scope 3 through the upstream carbon sequestration potential of biochar and downstream emissions avoidance. Verde's long-term vision is to reimagine road infrastructure as a scalable climate solution, turning roads, streets, and pathways into carbon sinks.

As part of the strategy to realize that vision, the company has signed a <u>memorandum of understanding with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions,</u> the largest liquid asphalt producer in North America, and is actively working toward finalizing a long-term exclusive agreement by September 2025. This partnership is expected to accelerate the nationwide commercialization of Verde's technologies, marking a pivotal step toward reshaping and modernizing the future of sustainable roadbuilding at scale.
