Reporting Requirements for Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
As an Australian public company with securities listed on the ASX, Northern Minerals is subject to Australian disclosure
requirements and standards, including the requirements of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. Investors
should note that it is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
in Australia is in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) and that Northern Minerals’ Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates and
reporting comply with the JORC Code.
Production Target
The DFS has confirmed a 11-Year Life of Mine (LOM) production plan target of up to 181,000 tonnes of TREO in
concentrate and up to 4,350 tonnes per annum TREO (Production Target). The Production Target and forecast financial
information derived from the Production Target referred to in this release are underpinned by Probable Ore Reserves
(approximately 85%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (approximately 15%). There is a low level of geological confidence
associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the
determination of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target or forecast financial
information reported will be realised. Accordingly, the Company has scheduled the Production Target such that
Inferred Mineral Resources do not feature as a significant proportion of the first 10 years of the 12-year mining plan.
Approximately 6% of the Production Target material mined over the first 10 years is underpinned by Inferred Mineral
Resources. The Company is satisfied that the proportion of included Inferred Mineral Resources is not the determining
factor of the viability of the Project."

JORC Code
It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply
with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee’s Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC
Code"). Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company in
this document comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore
Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries
and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the
Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, which
governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the SEC. Information contained in this
document describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws.

Clear pathway to execution
▶ All key approvals in place, proven process flowsheet and existing site infrastructure allowing rapid
mobilisation
▶ Long-term supply agreement and strategic partnership with Iluka Resources Limited (ASX:ILU) 2
▶ Project funding discussions underway supported by outcomes from the DFS
Developing a world class Heavy Rare Earth Asset with
significant exploration upside
Corporate Overview
Strategic and globally significant heavy rare earth project
▶ The Browns Range Heavy Rare Earth (HRE) Project is one of the most advanced HRE projects
globally, with one of the highest known Dy/Tb grade deposits outside of China1
▶ Strategic importance and supply risk of HREs, particularly Dy/Tb, highlighted by ongoing China
export restrictions on Dy/Tb compounds and Dy/Tb containing products
Establishing an Australian rare earth supply chain
▶ Aligned with Australian and other government policies focused on creating alternative rare earth
supply chains and reducing dependence on China
▶ Browns Range concentrate plans to be key HRE feedstock to Iluka’s Eneabba refinery, establishing
a new domestic supply chain
Compelling market opportunity
▶ Emerging supply deficit for Dy/Tb driven by demand growth of NdFeB magnets in EV, renewables
and defence applications
▶ Magnet demand underpinned by accelerating global energy transition
▶ ~70% of Browns Range basket value from Dy/Tb, critical components for NdFeB magnet operability
Growth focused strategy
▶ Strong pipeline of defined mineral resources and prospects within >5,600 km2 of highly prospective
and underexplored tenement holdings
▶ Potential opportunity to extend project life with further exploration
