Announcement PDF ASX Announcement & Media Release | ASX: KAL | 19 August 2026 Heritage Protection Agreement with Kakarra Aboriginal Corporation, covering Pinjin and Bulong Taurus gold projects KalgoorlieGoldMiningLimited | ACN645666164 Suite 2, 1209 Hay St, West Perth WA 6005, Australia T: +61 (0)8 6002 2700 | E: info@kalgoldmining.com.au | www.kalgoldmining.com.au Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX:KAL) (‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce that it has executed a comprehensive Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) with the Kakarra Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC (KAC) over Kakarra Country east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The agreement provides a framework to protect Kakarra heritage for future generations while supporting KalGold’s gold exploration and discovery work at the Pinjin and Bulong Taurus Gold Projects. Discussing the updated and expanded Kakarra HPA, KalGold MD and CEO Dr Matt Painter said: “Executing a comprehensive Heritage Protection Agreement with the Kakarra Traditional Owners is a significant milestone for KalGold. We sincerely thank the Kakarra people for their constructive and proactive engagement to produce an agreement that benefits both organisations and the people of the land. While cultural heritage protection is foremost for the Kakarra Aboriginal Corporation, the pragmatism and enthusiasm shown in meetings and on-country is very encouraging for KalGold’s exploration programs. We are very much looking forward to continuing to work with the Kakarra people, both personally and directly with the elders and the board, as well as on-country with the mining professionals and people of this land, as we accelerate our exploration efforts towards discovery and success at Pinjin and Bulong Taurus.” Determination of title, new tenements, and gold rights necessitated an update The updated agreement supersedes an earlier limited agreement covering tenement E28/3134 where KalGold recently completed the Laverton Tectonic Zone (LTZ) Flexure aircore drill program. That agreement itself was modified from earlier versions related to tenements that the Company no longer holds. Building on the most recent agreement, a Deed of Assignment, Assumption, and Variation was required for the following reasons: • Determination of native title – On 30 April, 2025, the Federal Court of Australia issued a consent determination recognising the native title rights of the Kakarra people over lands and waters in the Goldfields and Great Victoria Desert region, north-east and south-east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, covered by the Kakarra Part A Native Title Claim (Figure 1). • Amalgamation of former claims – Following determination, the Kakarra Part A and Part B claims were amalgamated under the KAC. • Updated tenement coverage – The new HPA is now with KAC and has been updated to include: o All of KalGold’s tenements on which it is listed as a tenement holder. o All tenure where KalGold holds secure, long-standing gold rights by agreement with the tenement holder (Bulong Taurus Gold Project). Page 2 Heritage Protection Agreementwith Kakarra Aboriginal Corp Corporation n RC KalGold’s original HPA required fundamental and wide-ranging modification to reflect these substantial changes. It also required adjustment for the Company’s current tenement holdings within Kakarra country. Figure 1 – Kakarra country in relation to KalGold’s projects, covering the entire Taurus Goldfield in the Bulong Taurus Gold Project, and the southern, most active part of the contiguous Pinjin Gold Project containing, Providence, Lighthorse and other targets. A series of exploration tenement applications south of Pinjin along the southern extension of the LTZ also lie within Kakarra country. Projection: MGA 94 Zone 51. Streamlining effects of the agreement The updated HPA will have a positive material impact on KalGold operations within Kakarra country. At the Pinjin Gold Project, containing the Kirgella Gift-Providence gold deposit and the Lighthorse gold prospect, the agreement is expected to assist: • Implementation of timely heritage surveys; • Prompt clearance for forthcoming exploration and resource drill programs; and • Streamlining application processes for new Exploration (E) and Prospecting (P) licences. At the Bulong Taurus Gold Project, which includes the outcropping La Mascotte gold deposit, 35km east of Kalgoorlie Boulder, the agreement is expected to facilitate: • Timely site-appropriate heritage surveys; and • Heritage clearances for proposed work programs near the culturally significant Lake Yindarlgooda (via either the Western Australian Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH) or by collaborative Section 18 application). Page 3 Heritage Protection Agreementwith Kakarra Aboriginal Corp Corporation n RC Other prospective areas within Kakarra Country remain a focus for KalGold as the Company applies its exploration experience from Pinjin and Bulong Taurus to identify and assess new gold targets. The HPA is expected to support future exploration and grant of new tenure by providing: • A streamlined application process where the Western Australian Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) can reference the HPA as a requirement for grant, potentially leading to quicker granting and access to new project areas. • Automatic inclusion of newly granted tenements within the agreement. KalGold looks forward to continuing to build a strong and enduring relationship with KAC and the Kakarra people supporting responsible exploration and discoveries that will benefit KalGold shareholders and stakeholders.

Page 4 Heritage Protection Agreementwith Kakarra Aboriginal Corp Corporation n RC About KalGold ASX-listed resources company Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (KalGold, ASX: KAL) is a proven, low-cost gold discoverer with a large portfolio of West Australian projects and a total gold resource in excess of 214,000 oz. KalGold prides itself on defining shallow, potentially open-pittable gold resources at very low costs, currently less than A$4.60 per ounce of gold2 . Current focus includes: • The Pinjin Project within the 30 Moz Laverton Tectonic Zone (host to Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith, Rebecca, Anglo Saxon, and Wallaby projects) is located only 25 km north along strike from Ramelius Resources (ASX: RMS) Rebecca Gold Project. A first JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate at Kirgella Gift and Providence (2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,400 oz1 ) represents the first area targeted at Pinjin, with many more targets scheduled for testing. The company aims to define further resources as these targets are tested. Some tenure is the subject of a farm-in over two years. Between this tenure and KalGold’s own tenure and applications, the Company has established a significant presence in a strategic and important gold producing region. • The Bulong Taurus Project, 35 km east of Kalgoorlie- Boulder. Contains the outcropping La Mascotte gold deposit where KalGold has defined a JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 3.61 Mt @ 1.19 g/t Au for 138,000 oz2 , plus a series of satellite prospects and historic workings of the Taurus Goldfield. Work continues at the project. • The Central Yandal Gold Project, 45 km east of Wiluna and in the heart of the prolific Yandal Greenstone Belt that is home to some of the world’s greatest gold discoveries since the 1990s. Some tenure remains in application and assessment is ongoing. 1 See KalGold ASX release, “First Kirgella Gift Inferred Resource of 76,400oz from 3m”. 25 July 2024. 2 See KalGold ASX release, “La Mascotte gold deposit: First JORC (2012) Mineral Resource of 138,000 oz Au”. 7 March 2023.
