Teufelskuppe - New High-Grade REE Drill Results Continue to Demonstrate Shallow Mineralisation and Strong Continuity

Kendrick Resources Plc is pleased to announce the latest portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analytical results from diamond drill holes TKDD004 to TKDD006 at the Teufelskuppe ("TK") Project, further demonstrating the extensive, shallow and high-grade nature of rare earth element ("REE") mineralisation within the carbonatite complex.

The latest drilling continues to confirm broad zones of near-surface mineralisation together with multiple high-grade TREO intercepts, reinforcing the Company's confidence in the scale, continuity and resource potential of the TK Project.

Highlights

·      TKDD004 intersected continuous near-surface REE mineralisation from surface to 5.50m, returning an average grade of 2.30 wt% TREO, including high-grade intervals of:

o  3.21 wt% TREO over 0.50m from 3.25m

o  3.61 wt% TREO over 0.75m from 4.75m

·      TKDD005, designed to test shallow mineralisation, returned an intersection of 2.35 wt% TREO over 8.00m from surface, confirming the continuity of high-grade mineralisation close to surface.

·      TKDD006 intersected an extensive mineralised zone characterised by multiple high-grade intervals, including:

o  3.40 wt% TREO over 2.50m from 3.25m

o  3.01 wt% TREO over 1.50m from 9.75m

o  3.33 wt% TREO over 2.75m from 17.25m

o  3.02 wt% TREO over 2.75m from 22.25m

o  3.00 wt% TREO over 3.75m from 32.75m

·      These high-grade intervals in drill hole TKDD006 are hosted within broad zones of continuous REE mineralisation, with the intervening lower-grade sections returning an average grade of 2.04 wt% TREO across a combined 20 metres of drill intercept, highlighting the exceptional continuity of mineralisation throughout the hole.

·      Drill core has been comprehensively logged and submitted for laboratory analysis to validate the pXRF results and support ongoing resource estimation.

·      The results from TKDD004 to TKDD006 continue to demonstrate the consistency of high-grade REE mineralisation across the TK carbonatite complex and further enhance confidence in the project's potential to define a significant shallow rare earth resource.

Colin Bird, Chairman of Kendrick Resources, commented: "Further evidence of excellent continuity of mineralisation is enhanced by the presence of mineralised drill intercepts beginning at surface. Mineralisation is found occurring over substantial widths and it important to note that between the highlighted high-grade intercepts we have continuous mineralisation running at equally impressive grades relative to TK's peers at an average grade of approximately 2 wt% TREO. We will continue to update shareholders with further drill results."

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.
