Teufelskuppe Delivers Compelling New Drill Results

Exceptional pXRF Correlation Reinforces Confidence in High-Grade Rare Earth Mineralisation

Kendrick Resources Plc is pleased to announce a further important validation milestone at the Teufelskuppe ("TK") Project, where X-ray fluorescence ("pXRF") measurements of Light Rare Earth Oxide ("LREO") grades in drill core have demonstrated an exceptionally strong positive correlation with certified laboratory assays. This compelling result provides confidence in the reliability of pXRF analysis at Teufelskuppe and highlights its value as a fast, effective exploration tool. Certified laboratory assays have now been received for three drill holes (TKDD002-4), each returning highly impressive LREO grades over significant widths and further reinforcing the scale, continuity and high-grade potential of the Teufelskuppe mineralised system.

Highlights

pXRF - Certified Assay Correlation

·   The full assay batch of 100 samples, excluding QA/QC samples, returned an impressive Simple or Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (r) of +0.82. r is a statistical number that measures the strength and direction of the connection between two variables and here provides strong statistical evidence of a close and predictable linear relationship between pXRF readings and certified laboratory assays.

·    On average, field-derived pXRF values are marginally lower than certified laboratory assays

·    The strong positive correlation provides clear support for the use of pXRF as an early, reliable and cost-effective indicator of LREO grade, strengthening Kendrick's ability to make informed exploration decisions, and optimise drill-hole planning.

New Certified Assay Results

·    TKDD002 intersected multiple sub-parallel dykes, delivering notably high-grade results of 3.16 wt% LREO over 5.4m and an exceptional 3.14 wt% LREO over 38.2m, demonstrating the strength and scale of mineralisation encountered.

·    TKDD003 further underlines the potential of the system, intersecting sub-parallel dykes that returned outstanding grades of 3.83 wt% LREO over 3.75m, 3.4 wt% LREO over an impressive 59.78m, and 3.97 wt% LREO over 4.35m.

·    TKDD004 intersected the near-surface exposure of a sill, returning a strong grade of 3.12 wt% LREO over 3.97m. The sill continues to dip below surface, where it reaches an average width of approximately 40m and where pXRF grades are consistently around 3 wt% LREO, highlighting attractive follow-up potential.

·    Targeting a Resource of not less than 40 million tonnes at a grade of 3.0 wt% LREO

Borehole ID	From (m)	To (m)	Width (m)	Grade (% LREO)
TKDD002	53.3 76.6	58.7 114.8	5.4 38.2	3.16 3.14
TKDD003	4.60 37.22 103.0	8.35 97.0 107.35	3.75 59.78 4.35	3.83 3.39 3.97
TKDD004	1.00	4.97	3.97	3.12

Colin Bird, Chairman of Kendrick Resources, commented "We have now been able to directly compare pXRF values with certified laboratory analyses, and the correlation is highly satisfactory. The strong positive correlation offers practical benefits allowing us to continue our accelerated drilling programme as we have a high confidence in the pXRF data and we can continue to build our geological model and commence resource estimation replacing pXRF analyses with certified results as new data is received.  Our target at Teufelskuppe remains a 40 million tonne resource at a grade of greater than 3.0 wt % LREO and the current programme is expected to continue to deliver impressive results on the ground allowing us to move towards a JORC (2012) Resource underpinned by ongoing petrological studies and metallurgical test work being undertaken in the United States and Europe, respectively. We look forward to providing shareholders with further updates as new data becomes available".

pXRF Sampling procedure

The strong linear relationship between certified assays and pXRF field analyses reflects the quality and consistency of Kendrick's field procedures. The Company uses a high-quality handheld XRF unit, supported by regular calibration using fresh samples collected from the Teufelskuppe site and independently validated by an external certified laboratory. Strict field protocols are applied throughout sampling, with four measurements taken on each 1m length of core at 25cm intervals and, as far as practicable, in the same location on every metre of core. The process is also designed to avoid sampling bias by preventing selective measurement of visually obvious high-grade mineralisation, thereby supporting confidence in the reliability and repeatability of the pXRF dataset.

Correlation Coefficient (r)

Correlation between pXRF and SGS Certified Laboratory assays for LREO

n = 100 (number of samples)

r (Simple or Pearson's correlation coefficient) = 0.82 with n-2 degrees of freedom

Using r to calculate t for the statistical significance level

t = 0.82 x Ö98 (n=2) ÷ 0.344

t = 23.3 with 98 degrees of freedom so the 2-tailed p-value is <0.0001(99.999 significance)

p = <0.0001 indicates the correlation is strongly positive.

About Kendrick Resources Plc

Kendrick Resources Plc is a mineral exploration and development company whose strategy is to acquire and enhance the value of its mineral resource projects through exploration, technical studies and resource development and to bring projects to production through joint venture or other arrangements or their sale.

The Kendrick Board has extensive resource project experience in southern Africa and has gravitated back to the region with the acquisition of the Bonya Rare Earth Project located in Namibia and in late 2025 exercised an option in relation to the acquisition of the Blue Fox Licence, 34412-HQ-LEL located in northwest Zambia.

About Teufelskuppe:

Development Plan Progress

The Company is progressing the TK project in line with the published Development Plan schedule announced on 6 May 2026. Verification of the in-house MRE and upgrading to compliance with JORC (2012) has been initiated alongside the still progressing diamond drilling and reverse circulation drilling campaign to ascertain the depth and sub-surface spread of carbonatite mineralisation below the natural surface profile of the TK landscape.

Economics and Markets

The predominant rare earths of economic value in the TK complex are light elements in the order Ce>La>Nd>Pr, with neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) together providing an average 25% (by wt) of the ca. 3% wt% rare earth pool. HREO's average 0.15 wt% across surface and deeper carbonatites. These grades continue to position the TK carbonatite complex in the upper quartile on a global scale compared with the major producers of rare earths elsewhere (Center for Strategic and International Studies, January 2026).

Rare earths are critical to specific modern technologies where no effective substitutes exist. Sustained demand for super magnets in electronics, renewable energy, and electric vehicles continues to push prices upwards and manufacturing need shows no sign of slowing. The global metals market is valued at approximately $18.2 billion with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.6% (Intnl. Energy Agency, 2026). The present trends are further underpinned by demands for rare earths used in defence systems, medical imaging, telecommunications and advanced visual displays. All these sector demands underpin the commercial potential of the TK project.

Diversification of market supply to meet increasing manufacturing need is a recognised priority for most industrialised nations and international partnerships are being formed to diversify and protect supply chains for key industrial sectors, and to safeguard against supply disruptions (Fortune Business Insights, 2026)

The Company is entirely focused on ways in which the development of TK can address the needs of free-market economies and to the benefit of all stakeholders including Namibia, the host nation.

Near-Term Development Plan for TK

The Company is advancing JORC-2012 certification of the provisional and visible 14Mt surface mineral resource estimate for TK as announced on 11 May 2026. Recent drill results further underpin the confidence that these surface resources are only a modest fraction of the mineable total as indicated on 15 May 2026. Channel data, when tied-in with the results from boreholes provide ever-increasing certainty of both lateral continuity in surface rare earth mineralisation and the continuation of REE-rich resources at mineable depths well below the natural desert land surface.

The Company projects a much larger resource for the overall project than is known at this time. Drill data is showing sub-surface geo-continuity thus offering a potentially significant resource upside.

TK is developing into a prospective new source of commercial rare earth production for free-market economies and industrialised nations, and the combination therein of ⁵⁹ Pr and ⁶⁰Nd remains the economic cornerstone of the Project. Development through to production will enable Namibia to realise and secure one of the largest newly recognised rare earth deposits in the world for defence and advanced technologies.

The nearby presence of other intrusive carbonatites at Kieshohe, together with a defined in-house (non-JORC) Mineral Resource and established access and infrastructure, positions TK as a near-term development opportunity with exciting potential.
