Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
North Stanmore Heavy Rare Earth Elements Project
As one of the largest heavy rare earth clay projects globally, the North Stanmore Project (North Stanmore or the Project) presents
a unique opportunity to establish a long-term, low-cost supply of critical minerals essential for high-growth industries including
renewable energy, electric vehicles and defence.
North Stanmore is located in the Tier-1 mining jurisdiction of Western Australia, where both Federal and State Governments have
committed billions of dollars of support for rare earth projects. The Project is strategically positioned to become a potential
producer of heavy rare earth elements and critical minerals currently subject to export restrictions from China, including
dysprosium, terbium and yttrium.
Figure 1. Location of Victory Metals’ North Stanmore Project
Major enhancement of MRE with the inclusion of Gallium as a by-product
In April, Victory unveiled a significant enhancement to its North Stanmore Project’s Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), with the
inclusion of Gallium Oxide (Ga₂O₃).
The addition of Gallium further strengthens the Company’s diversified critical minerals portfolio, positioning the Company as a
potential dependable Western supplier of metals currently under tight global supply due to Chinese export restrictions.
Victory added 4,788 tonnes of Gallium Oxide to its updated North Stanmore MRE.
The inclusion of Gallium in the MRE makes Victory is one of the few companies in Australia with a declared Gallium Oxide Mineral
Resource, further positioning the Company as a globally relevant and potential diversified critical minerals supplier.
At North Stanmore, Gallium is recovered concurrently with Victory’s Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC) with no additional
processing required, making it a cost-effective by-product. The addition of Gallium enhances the value and strategic appeal of
Victory’s MREC, although the Company remains firmly focused on its high ratios of heavy rare earths as its core revenue drivers.

MIXED RARE EARTH OXIDE
Subsequent to the end of the year, Victory produced a Mixed Rare Earth Oxide (MREO) containing 94% Total Rare Earth Oxides
(TREO) from its North Stanmore Heavy Rare Earth Project.
To the Company’s knowledge, this represents the highest grade heavy rare earth enriched MREO produced in Australia directly
from an Australian clay-hosted rare earth project. It further demonstrates the technical viability of Victory’s proprietary processing
flowsheet and its ability to produce market ready, high value MREO product without the need for additional CAPEX concentration
and cracking processes.

Corporate
$4M Placement
Victory raised $4 million (before costs) via a placement of new shares at $0.73 each, representing a 15% discount to the last
traded price of $0.86 on 26 May 2025. The raise included 5,136,986 shares to professional investors and 342,466 shares to
directors and management (subject to shareholder approval). In addition, 1.8 million unlisted options (exercise price $1.30, twoyear term) issued to unrelated parties under the Investor Participation.
U.S. Government Funding LOI for US$190M to advance North Stanmore
In April, Victory advised that it had received a Letter of Interest (LOI) from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM),
for up to US$190 million (~A$292 million) in project financing support for the development of the North Stanmore Project. This
marked a significant milestone in the Company’s growth and established Victory as one of the few Australian critical minerals
developers attracting high-level, government-backed international support.
Highlights of the LOI include:
•
Up to US$190 million (~A$292 million) in potential debt financing support
•
Non-binding LOI with a 15-year indicative repayment term
•
Opportunity to access further U.S. government financing through China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP)
•
Final financing commitment is subject to standard due diligence and must be compliant with EXIM policies, as well as
program, legal and eligibility requirements.
The LOI received from EXIM may also be eligible for special consideration under Section 402 of EXIM's 2019 re-authorisation (P.L.
116-94), which directs EXIM to take steps to mitigate the competitive impact of export support provided by the People's Republic
of China and other covered countries for opportunities aimed at enhancing U.S. leadership in areas deemed critical to economic
and national security, including rare earths and advanced materials.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Directors Report
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
Other than as described in the Review of Operations above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during
the financial year.
Material business risks
The proposed future activities of the Consolidated Entity are subject to a number of risks and other factors which may impact its future
performance. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside
the control of the directors and management of the Company and cannot be mitigated. An investment in the Company is not risk free and
should be considered speculative.
This section provides a non-exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Consolidated Entity or by investors in the Company. The risks should be
considered in connection with forward looking statements in this Annual Report. Actual events may be materially different to those described
and may therefore affect the Consolidated Entity in a different way.
Investors should be aware that the performance of the Consolidated Entity may be affected by these risk factors, and the value of its Shares
may rise or fall over any given period. None of the directors or any person associated with the Consolidated Entity guarantee the Consolidated
Entity’s performance.
Business risks
Exploration and evaluation
Geological, exploration and development: The
exploration, development and mining of mineral
resources is a high risk, high-cost exercise with no
certainty of confirming economic viability of projects
with high risk of project delays and unforeseen
geological challenges.
Market Volatility, there are risks associated with
fluctuations in rare earth element prices, market
demand and global economic conditions. These
factors could impact the Company’s financial
performance and stability.
Human Resources and Occupational Health and Safety
New operational commodity and lack of experience:
The exploration and development of clay-hosted REE
minerals is an emerging industry in Australia and there
may be a lack of suitably trained professionals to
conduct such activities.
Hazardous activities: The Company’s exploration and
evaluation activities may be hazardous, with potential
to cause illness or injury.
Mitigating actions
-
-
-
-
-
The Company has announced a large inferred and
indicated HREE MRE and significantly larger exploration
target. Further exploration to increase the resource
grade, higher confidence resource categories and
increased MRE tonnes is planned.
Following MRE updates, further metallurgical testwork
and understanding of the REE concentrate product grade
and marketability, the Company will undertake studies
and target the North Stanmore project to be in the
lowest cost quartile/highest margin quartile for REE
producers based on its simple mining and low strip ratio,
metallurgical performance including simple processing
flowsheet, locational and logistics benefits, high value
REE mix and scale. Low cost and high margin projects
survive through low prices and difficult macroeconomic
conditions.
Strong human resources and employee relations
framework.
Competitive remuneration structure focused on
attracting diverse, engaged and suitably qualified
employees and consultants.
Retention of staff through contemporary HR practices
and performance management systems that make the
Company a first-choice employer.
The nascent industry is advancing and progressively
developing Australian-based knowledge and skills.
Industry standard safety management system.
Embedded safety culture.
Regular review of safety management system.

Business risks
-
-
The need to fund exploration and evaluation activities.
Future funding risk: Continued exploration and
evaluation is dependent on the Company being able to
secure future funding from equity markets. The
successful development of a mining project will
depend on the capacity to raise funds from equity and
debt markets.
Due to rare earth elements typically being traded in
USD, there are risks associated with currency
fluctuations and foreign exchange rate exposure. This
could potentially have impact on revenues, costs or
probability.
Mitigating actions
-
The Company will need to source equity funding for
continued exploration and evaluation prior to accessing
equity and debt markets to undertake development
funding. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive
to Shareholders, as pricing of the Company’s shares are
dependent on endogenous and exogenous outcomes.
-
There can be no assurance that such funding will be
available on satisfactory terms or at all at the relevant
time. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing for the
Company’s activities and future projects may result in
the delay or cancellation of certain activities or projects,
which would likely adversely affect the potential growth
of the Company.
-
The Company will engage expert consultants to
undertake
required
baseline
environmental
assessments and to prepare major approval application
documents to ensure it meets regulatory requirements.
The North Stanmore Project benefits from low levels of
radioactive elements relative to most other REE projects.
Regulatory Approvals and Social Licence to Operate
-
The Company’s exploration activities and major
projects depend on receipt of regulatory approvals
(e.g. tenure, environmental licences and permits,
heritage approvals, etc). There is a risk that required
approvals may be delayed or declined.
-
Maintenance of positive relationships with
stakeholders and the community, particularly
traditional owners, is important in ensuring The
Company retains its social license to operate.
-
Potential risks arising from changes in government
regulations, policies, or environmental standards that
may affect the extraction, processing or export of rare
earth elements. Such changes may impact the
Company’s operations, costs or market access.
Changes in Federal and State Regulations
Changes in Federal or State Government policies or
legislation may impact royalties, tenure, land access
and labour relations.
Climate Risk
The emergence of new or expanded regulations
associated with the transitioning to a lower carbon
economy and market changes related to climate
change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by
changes to local or international compliance
regulations related to climate change mitigation
efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon
emissions or environmental damage.
The Company considers potential environmental impacts
as a key factor in its project design and evaluation and
will ensure impacts are reduced to as low as reasonably
practicable.
-
The Company has engaged legal support and specialised
services for the negotiation and preparation of Land
Access Agreements with Traditional Owners, to ensure
we obtain prior and informed consent for our activities.
-
The Company will develop and implement a Stakeholder
Engagement Plan to enable positive engagement with
our stakeholders to ensure we retain our social licence
to operate.
-
The Board regularly assesses developments in State and
Federal legislation and policies and regularly engages
with Government Departments.
-
Whilst the Company will seek to manage such risk as and
when they arise, there can be no guarantee that the
Company will be able to do so in a cost-effective manner,
if at all.
