Marengo Goldfield Update

Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the base metal, critical mineral and precious metal exploration company, is pleased to notify the market that Eastern Resources Limited has provided an update of its exploration at the Marengo Goldfield in Queensland, Australia.

Eastern Resources Limited ("Eastern") entered into a binding farm-in agreement with Rockfire on the 29 September 2025 (the "Farm-in"), which sees Eastern sole-funding the exploration at Marengo for the next 3 years, with funding being engaged on direct expenditure on the tenement.

Highlights

• Recently collected rock samples all return anomalous to elevated levels of gold; 20 samples exceed 1.0 g/t Au, 13 exceed 5.0 g/t, with a peak grade of 12.3 g/t Au
• The results, together with historical high-grade rock chip results, confirms gold-silver rich mineralisation close to surface
• High grade gold values such as these enhance the significant potential of the shallow high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins in a district undergoing encouraging development of gold projects.

Latest high-grade rock chip results returned from the Marengo Goldfield include:

• Sample 3017021: 12.30 g/t Au, 9.2 g/t Ag
• Sample 3017027: 8.91 g/t Au, >100.0 g/t Ag
• Sample 3017036: 10.25 g/t Au, 9.9 g/t Ag
• Sample 3017049: 9.43 g/t Au, 3.5 g/t Ag
• Sample 3017053: 8.71 g/t Au, 21.0 g/t Ag

Principal terms of the joint venture (the "JV")

The Farm-in involves the Marengo Goldfield Project exploration permit EPM25715 in Queensland, Australia.

During the sole funding period, Eastern must keep the Tenements in good order and meet all statutory reporting, rehabilitation and expenditure obligations. This includes meeting the following expenditure on the Tenement (being for exploration and compliance activities):

• within the first 12-month period (Stage One), expend at least AUD $250,000
• within the second 12-month period (Stage Two), expend an additional amount of at least $500,000; and
• within the third 12-month period (Stage Three), expend an additional amount of at least $750,000

This results in a total expenditure of AUD$1,500,000 to the end of Stage Three.

On meeting expenditure in each Stage, Rockfire will:

• at the completion of Stage One, transfer a 20% interest in the Tenement;
• at the completion of Stage Two, transfer an additional 31% interest in the Tenement; and
• at the completion of Stage Three, transfer an additional 29% interest in the Tenement.

This results in a total of 80% transfer of interest in the Tenement once all of the expenditure has been made.

The broad outline of the JV Agreement (to be subsequently signed) allows for the following:

• Once Eastern has achieved an 80% equity in Marengo, the parties will continue to fund the project jointly on a pro-rata basis in accordance with a JV Agreement to be finalised.
• Eastern shall pay AUD$1 million to Rockfire in cash or Eastern shares at Eastern's option, upon Eastern announcing a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (the "MRE") of at least 500,000 ounces of gold, with a minimum average grade of 2.5 grams per ton Au. If Eastern elects to issue shares, the value will be at the 30 day VWAP for such shares at the time of announcement.
