Announcement PDF 26 August 2024 Ms Scarlette de Lavaine Australian Securities Exchange Level 40, Central Park 152-158 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 Dear Ms de Lavaine, Amended Announcement Graphite Bull & Narryer Projects Exploration Update Buxton Resources Limited (ASX:BUX) refers to the announcement released on Friday 23 August titled “Graphite Bull & Narryer Projects: Exploration Update” (‘Announcement’). Buxton overlooked to include the sampling techniques for the RC and diamond drilling in the JORC Table. An amended announcement is attached. This announcement was authorised for release by: Sam Wright Company Secretary ASX Release 23rd August 2024 Graphite Bull & Narryer Projects: Exploration Update • Core drilling completed for 1221.5 m in two holes • RC drilling ongoing 3,534m (9-22 Aug) at 246 metres per day • All holes intersect graphite inc. 68 metres @ >10% visually estimated TGC • Product qualification commenced with BTR in China • RC drilling to commence at the Narryer Project Buxton Resources Ltd (‘Buxton’; ASX:BUX) is pleased update shareholders in relation to activities at the 100% owned Graphite Bull and Narryer Projects. The ongoing drilling program at Graphite Bull aims to support a substantial Mineral Resource Estimate in Q4 2024. Recent drilling-related activities include; - Diamond drilling (DD), completed 8th August with a total of 1,221.5 metres of HQ diamond core drilled across two holes. - An initial batch of 57 samples from a ~52 metre length of diamond core (GB006DD 491.00 – 541.96 metres) is currently at ALS laboratories and has completed sample preparation. Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) results are expected within two weeks. - Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling has progressed smoothly, with 3,534 metres drilled across 24 holes (GB008RC – GB031RC – Table 3) averaging 146 metres depth, at 246 metres per day. Most holes have been drilled across 1,080 metres of geological strike East of the existing Resource area (Figure 1). Several new RC holes within the existing Resource aim to provide support for conversion to JORC Indicated classification. - The RC drilling has intersected graphite mineralisation > 5% visually estimated TGC within 832 metres, or 24% of the metres drilled (Table 1). Results include 68 metres at >10% visually estimated TGC from 43 metres in GB012RC (see table inset on Figure 1). These new results are highly encouraging given that the 2011-2012 programs, which were drilled to the South (generally subparallel with ore zones), achieved an equivalent rate of 25% (1050.7 metres >5% TGC assayed across 4,149.7 metres of drilling). The current program is drilled mostly North with the aim of intersecting ore zones at an angle closer to true width. This result is interpreted to reflect generally thicker true widths of mineralisation in the East compared to the Resource area.

Full assays to support mineral resource estimate are expected to take 2-3 months to complete. A substantively increased Mineral Resource Estimate is now targeted based on results from the 2023 & 2024 drill programs (>5,000m RC) supported by improved confidence in geological continuity provided by results from diamond drilling and recent structural mapping. Drilling activities will be finalised over the coming days. Figure 1: Graphite Bull Project plan showing recent drilling with visual estimates of graphitic carbon, existing Resource zones (steeply dipping to the South) are also shown. The table inset shows the top six intersections at >10% visually estimated TGC (true widths not determined). Cautionary Statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

The concentrate was prepared by at ALS Metallurgy to a >95% TGC specification. BTR has held the top global market share for anode materials for 14 years, serving major lithium-ion battery manufacturers such as Panasonic, Samsung SDI, LGES, SKOn, CATL, and BYD. 1 The Topdrill RC rig will move to the Narryer Project over the weekend to test the 800 m x 150 m Ranger EM target (6,000 Seimens – Figure 2). This program will consist of 1-2 holes, with capacity for further drilling if warranted. ---ooo--This announcement is authorised by the Board of Buxton Resources Ltd.

Graphite Bull was acquired by Buxton in 2012 and by 2014 an airborne EM survey, several drilling programs and two resource estimates were completed. The Graphite Bull project currently has a JORC (2012) compliant Inferred Resource of 4 Mt @ 16.2 % TGC (ASX 24/10/2014). Due to projected growth of the global Lithium-ion battery market, and the essential part graphite will play in that – graphite is the single largest component of Li-ion batteries – Buxton recommenced work at Graphite Bull in 2022. Work since then has been focused on metallurgical test work through to final product (Activated Anode Material), and increasing Resource confidence and size, with very promising results to date. Forecast battery-related demand (Benchmark Mineral Intelligence) means that by 2027, global graphite production needs to double and that, by 2040, eight times current production will be required to supply the world’s lithium-ion battery anode market. Non-China battery anode capacity, and investment, is being spurred by US IRA legislation. Graphite Bull is therefore a very attractive project, being a high-grade deposit located in a Tier 1, US FTA mining jurisdiction, with ore materials having demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance and with outstanding Resource growth potential. Figure 3: Buxton’s Graphite Bull & Narryer Projects are located within the Gascoyne / Murchison Region of Western Australia.

This new discovery by Chalice Mining Ltd and the presence of numerous Ni-Cu-PGE occurrences along a >1,000km strike length defines the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province - a highly prospective new exploration frontier now subject to intense exploration activity. Buxton has also now identified that the Narryer Project has potential for carbonatite-related Rare Earth Element (REE) style deposits in the Proterozoic Badgeradda Basin rocks which have been accreted to the Yilgarn Craton. The Narryer Project also has potential for regolith-hosted REE within both Proterozoic and Archean successions. With the granting of E09/2722, Buxton now holds 1,918 km2 in four granted ELs along the highly prospective Yilgarn Western Margin, including the adjoining ~30 km long tectonic sliver of the Proterozoic Badgeradda Basin which has been emplaced here along this craton margin. During 2021 & 2022, Buxton completed ground reconnaissance, a regionally extensive 1-km spaced ground gravity survey and a highly targeted 2566.6-line km Airborne EM survey. Interpretation of the AEM data has identified multiple high priority anomalies, three of which warranted immediate followup by moving loop EM, which was completed at Bandito, Prodigy and Ranger Prospects in early 2023. Additional soil sampling was conducted over AEM targets in late 2003 which provided encouragement to extend the Ranger ground EM coverage. In additional to well defined Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity, the broad tectonic and geological setting is prospective for REE, with the Gascoyne region shaping up as next Australia’s REE hotspot. REE projects nearby include Yangibana (under construction, ASX: HAS), Mangaroon (ASX: DRE), Mick Well (ASX: KFM), and Innouendy (ASX: DM1). The only REE operation in production in Australia is Mount Weld (ASX: LYC), near Laverton, WA.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Diamond core drilling and Reverse Circulation drilling was completed using standard industry best practice. Diamond drilling at Graphite Bull produced HQ diameter core (63.5mm diameter). All core runs are oriented using an Axis Mining Technology Champ Ori tool. Diamond drilling core samples taken from halved or quartered (for duplicate samples) HQ2 core. Samples were cut at approximately 1 m intervals according to recommendations from previous resource estimate reports. Reverse Circulation drilling produced samples that were collected at one-metre intervals. A one metre ‘split’ sample was collected in pre-numbered calico bags at the time of drilling using a cone splitter integrated into the drill cyclone to produce an approximate 1.5kg sample, which is considered representative of the full drill metre. The residual material from each metre interval was collected in 600mm x 900mm biodegradable bags preserved at the drill sites whilst laboratory analysis is ongoing. Drill samples selected for analysis were limited to those containing visible graphite (using the one metre split samples) alongside composites containing either a two, three or four-metre buffer either side of the visible intervals. Analyses will be undertaken by ALS Geochemistry in Perth and include Total Graphitic Carbon with other parameters as necessary. Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Diamond drilling (DD) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken by by Topdrill PL using a Sandvik DE880 trick mounted rig (DD) and a Schroamm T685 truck mounted rig (RC). Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Sample recovery for DD core loss is recorded by the drillers with any core loss intervals noted on annotated wooden blocks inserted into the core boxes by the driller. Core loss averages 99.5% for the hole. No significant core loss is recorded in the reported mineralised intervals. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Rod counts are routinely carried out and marked on the core blocks by the drillers to ensure the marked core block depths are accurate. RC recoveries were considered good with available air for drill sample recovery being deemed adequate for the ground conditions and depth of sampling undertaken. Appropriate measures have been undertaken to maximise sample recovery and ensure the representative nature of samples, including: - PO Box 661 Nedlands WA 6009 15 Robinson Av Belmont WA 6104 Terminating RC holes when recovery amounts are reduced at depth Terminating RC holes when excess water is encountered T: 08-9380 6063 E: info@buxtonresources.com.au W: www.buxtonresources.com.au Visit our investor hub: investorhub.buxtonresources.com.au Full assessment of recovery will be undertaken when the core is transported to BUX’s core processing facility in Perth, with QA/QC of the recovery to be assessed by reconstructing the core into continuous runs in an angle iron cradle. No apparent relationship has been defined between sample recovery and grade based on the various drilling programs to date at Graphite Bull. Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. Diamond Drilling Logging of the diamond drill hole was conducted at the Project site by qualified geologists with sufficient knowledge of the deposit style and the geological terrane the drilling was completed in. Logging of the hole is ongoing with lithology, mineralogy and mineralisation being recorded digitally. Logging completed can be considered qualitative in nature. Once the core is transported to BUX’s core processing facility in Perth, further qualitative logging of the entire hole will be undertaken recording weathering, colour, and other features of the samples. In addition to the qualitative logging, once the hole has been transferred to BUX’s core processing facility in Broome the core will be logged in a quantitative manner in terms of structure and geotechnical parameters. Photographs of all DD trays will be taken at BUX’s core processing facility at the Project, and in Perth and retained on file with the original core trays stored at BUX’s core library in Peth. Logging to date can be considered sufficient to report the intersection of low grade (trace-5% TGC), moderate (5-10%) and high-grade (>10% TGC) graphite mineralisation based on visually estimates and with reference to previous drillhole samples and results. Logging to be completed at BUX’s core processing facility in Perth will be adequate to support downstream exploration studies and follow-up drilling. Reverse Circulation Drilling For the RC program, chip trays were collected from each one metre interval this was used to log lithology, oxidation and visual graphite content estimate a streak test was used to assist with visual estimates alongside historical samples. Visual estimates for TGC were based on comparison with historic samples from Buxton’s 2014 program, YBRC0018 and YBRC0019 which constituted 276 metres of previously assayed material with grades from 0.1% to 30.9% TGC. This included 52 samples greater than 10% TGC. 19 samples from 5-10% and 87 samples from 0-5%. Samples were noted if they were wet or where recovery was significantly impacted. Photographs of all RC chip trays will be taken at BUX’s core processing facility at the Project, and in Perth and PO Box 661 Nedlands WA 6009 15 Robinson Av Belmont WA 6104 T: 08-9380 6063 E: info@buxtonresources.com.au W: www.buxtonresources.com.au Visit our investor hub: investorhub.buxtonresources.com.au retained on file with the original chip trays stored at BUX’s storage facility in Peth. Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Quality of assay data and laboratory tests Verification of sampling and assaying Logging is considered to be semi-quantitative. Diamond Drilling Following core processing at BUX’s core processing facility in Perth, the mineralised intervals will be subsampled into quarter and/or half-core using a wetdiamond-blade core saw and submitted to ALS Limited Perth. All samples to be submitted for assay will be selected from the same side of the core, with exceptions only being for duplicate samples of selected intervals, where quarter-core subsamples will be cut from the half-core. Reverse Circulation Drilling All RC one-metre sub-samples from drill holes were collected from a cone splitter respectively, to produce an ~15% routine split sample for analysis.
