4 I Talisman Mining Limited Letter from the Chairman I am pleased to present Talisman’s 2026 Annual Report and to reflect on what I believe is the start of an important new chapter for the Company. Our exploration work in New South Wales continued to advance on multiple fronts during the year, with the most encouraging development being the emerging gold opportunity at Sheepyard within our Walkers Hill Project. Drilling at Sheepyard has now outlined broad zones of shallow gold mineralisation over an unconstrained strike length of approximately 800 metres. Importantly, this mineralisation sits around the margins of a substantial IP chargeability anomaly, the main body of which remains largely untested. There is still a great deal of work to be done, but Sheepyard has developed into a genuine exploration opportunity which warrants further systematic drilling. We also generated encouraging results at East Peak Hill, where maiden air-core drilling has identified both gold and pathfinder anomalism and a separate copper-cobalt-gold system, providing several targets for follow-up exploration. With the support of expert independent consultants, we also initiated a detailed review of the base metal discoveries we made last year at Durnings and Rip N Tear in order to establish a potential pathway towards value realisation, while also re-evaluating our broader NSW portfolio. During the year, Talisman received $3.858 million from its Wonmunna Iron Ore royalty, taking cumulative receipts since production commenced to approximately $35.3 million. This royalty has been an outstanding asset for Talisman, providing substantial non-dilutive funding for exploration over a number of years. While current operations at Wonmunna have wound down, Talisman retains its royalty interest should production recommence in future. Importantly, we also refreshed the leadership of the Company. Todd Ross joined Talisman as CEO in June and was appointed as Managing Director in August following the retirement of Andrew Munckton. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Todd in recent months, as he brings fresh energy, ideas and vitality to the business, drawing on his experience in corporate finance, capital markets and business development across the Australian mining industry. Todd has a clear mandate to advance our existing exploration portfolio while pursuing new project opportunities capable of materially enhancing the scale and value of the Company. Dear fellow Shareholder,

Annual Report 2026 I 5 I also welcome Mark Cossom, who recently joined the Board, bringing valuable geological, operational and corporate experience. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Andrew and Peter Benjamin for their strong contribution to Talisman following their retirement in August. Subsequent to financial year-end, we secured commitments for a $4.0 million capital raising, which was our first in more than a decade. The strong support received from institutional and sophisticated investors, together with the strong commitment from your Board was pleasing and reflects our confidence in the Company’s strategy and the opportunities ahead. The additional funding provides Talisman with the capacity to accelerate exploration in NSW while actively pursuing new business development and growth opportunities, with a particular focus on gold in Western Australia. Our objective is simple: to deploy shareholders’ capital carefully and pursue opportunities capable of generating substantial value. As Talisman’s largest shareholder, I remain strongly aligned with that objective and optimistic about what lies ahead. On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience. There is plenty of work ahead of us, but I believe we now have the team, the projects and the financial capacity to make the most of the opportunities in front of us. Yours faithfully, Kerry Harmanis Chairman

6 I Talisman Mining Limited Review of Operations Overview During the 2026 financial year (FY2026), Talisman Mining Limited (Talisman or the Company) systematically advanced its extensive portfolio of gold and copper-gold exploration assets in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, delivering encouraging results from early-stage exploration at the Walkers Hill Gold Project and East Peak Hill Project. A key focus during the year was the Sheepyard Prospect, part of the broader Walkers Hill Gold Project. A series of Reverse Circulation (RC) and Air-core (AC) drilling programs progressively expanded the footprint of shallow gold mineralisation at Sheepyard and provided important new geological information on the scale and orientation of the mineralised system. Results from these programs have outlined broad zones of shallow gold mineralisation over a currently unconstrained strike length of approximately 800m. Importantly, this mineralisation is interpreted to be associated with the margins of a significant Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeability anomaly, with the main body of the anomaly yet to be definitively tested by drilling. Exploration also advanced at the Company’s East Peak Hill Project within the highly prospective Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt, approximately 10km south-east of the Tomingley Gold Operations. A maiden 5,546m AC drilling program identified anomalous gold and pathfinder geochemistry in a geological position interpreted to have similarities to nearby Tomingley mineralisation, as well as a separate broad zone of anomalous copper-cobalt-gold mineralisation further south. A follow-up Phase 2 AC drilling program commenced during the June 2026 Quarter. At the Yarindury Project within the Macquarie Arc, Talisman completed a 2-hole, 930m mud rotary and diamond drilling program to test buried Induced Polarisation-Magnetotelluric (IP-MT) geophysical anomalies considered prospective for porphyry-style copper-gold mineralisation. While the drilling did not return significant copper or gold intersections, geological and alteration information generated by the program has added to the Company’s understanding of this under-explored, under-cover portion of the Molong Volcanic Belt. During FY2026, Talisman received $3.858 million in royalty payments from the Wonmunna Iron Ore Mine in Western Australia, where the Company holds an uncapped 1% gross revenue royalty on all metals produced and sold. As previously foreshadowed, production from the current Wonmunna operation progressively declined during the year as Mineral Resources Limited transitioned Pilbara Hub ore supply towards its Lamb Creek operation. Talisman finished FY2026 with cash of $3.09 million and an investment in Novo Resources Corp valued at approximately $165K. The Company also continued to actively review potential new growth opportunities during the year. This strategic focus was enhanced with the appointment of experienced resources and finance executive Todd Ross as Chief Executive Officer, effective from 1 June 2026. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, Mr Ross was appointed Managing Director following the retirement of Andrew Munckton. In addition, experienced geologist and mining executive Mark Cossom joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director and long-serving Non-Executive Director Peter Benjamin retired from the Board. These changes position Talisman with a complementary mix of geological, operational, corporate, capital markets and commercial expertise as it continues to advance its NSW exploration portfolio while actively assessing broader opportunities to grow and enhance its asset base.

Annual Report 2026 I 7 Lachlan Fold Belt Projects – NSW Talisman holds an extensive portfolio of highly prospective exploration tenure across the Lachlan Fold Belt in central New South Wales. The Company’s tenure includes the Walkers Hill Gold Project, which covers a consolidated land package extending over approximately 90km of strike and encompasses a number of prospective mineralised litho-structural domains. Exploration activity during FY2026 increasingly focused on the emerging gold opportunity at Sheepyard, where systematic RC and AC drilling continued to build on historical exploration and the comprehensive geological, geochemical and geophysical review undertaken by Talisman during FY2025. Walkers Hill Gold Project The Walkers Hill gold trend is a significant regional-scale geochemical feature located along the interpreted contact between the Erimeran Granite and the Ordovician-age Girilambone metasediments. Within this broader trend, the Sheepyard Prospect has emerged as the principal focus for exploration following the identification of extensive gold and arsenic soil anomalism, historical shallow gold intersections and a significant underlying IP chargeability anomaly. The Sheepyard Prospect forms the southern part of an approximately 5.5km-long, north-west trending gold-in-soil anomaly (>25ppb Au). Surface mapping and drilling indicate that gold mineralisation is associated with sheared, veined and locally brecciated quartz-pyrite alteration zones within the Girilambone metasediments. Gold mineralisation is also associated with anomalous arsenic, antimony and tungsten, a geochemical association consistent with orogenic-style gold sulphide mineralisation. Figure 1: Talisman’s Lachlan Projects, which covers the Mineral Hill-Canbelego Volcanic Belt (MHCVB), shown on a regional TMI Airborne Magnetic image. High-grade base metals and copper-gold deposits in the belt include CSA, Peak, Hera, Federation and Mineral Hill. Figure 2: Regional Location Plan of Walkers Hill Project

8 I Talisman Mining Limited Initial RC drilling During the September 2025 Quarter, Talisman completed an initial five-hole, 857m RC drilling program at Sheepyard. The program was designed to test both the near-surface gold mineralisation identified by historical drilling and the significant IP chargeability anomaly located below the mineralised positions. Four of the five RC holes intersected broad zones of gold mineralisation, with significant results including: • SYRC0001: 10m at 0.36g/t Au from 22m and 41m at 0.29g/t Au from 162m; • SYRC0002: 16m at 0.38g/t Au from 124m, including 4m at 0.99g/t Au; • SYRC0003: 42m at 0.44g/t Au from 4m, including 8m at 0.85g/t Au; and • SYRC0004: 24m at 0.58g/t Au from 124m, including 14m at 0.86g/t Au. The drilling confirmed the presence of both shallow and deeper gold mineralisation. Near-surface mineralisation was associated with quartz veining within broad north-east trending structural positions, while deeper mineralisation intersected in SYRC0001, SYRC0002 and SYRC0004 was associated with thin quartz veining and disseminated pyrite and was broadly coincident with the interpreted position of the IP chargeability feature. These results provided further evidence of a potentially extensive mineralised system and supported follow-up drilling to test other higher-tenor gold-in-soil trends within the Sheepyard area. Phase 1 Air-core drilling Following the encouraging RC results, Talisman completed 49 air-core holes for 2,229m during November 2025, comprising two drill lines spaced approximately 200m apart across the southern portion of the Sheepyard geochemical trend. The program was designed primarily to test higher-tenor soil anomalies and better define the geometry and grade distribution of near-surface oxide gold mineralisation ahead of deeper drill testing. The drilling intersected a broad zone of gold mineralisation on the Western Line and a smaller zone on the Eastern Line, with mineralisation encountered across several consecutive holes. Significant results included: • SYAC0040: 6m at 0.63g/t Au from 54m to end-of-hole; • SYAC0041: 9m at 1.05g/t Au from 30m; • SYAC0042: 15m at 0.26g/t Au from 6m; • SYAC0043: 15m at 1.10g/t Au from surface, including 6m at 1.95g/t Au; • SYAC0044: 21m at 0.38g/t Au from surface; • SYAC0022: 6m at 0.47g/t Au from 39m to end-of-hole; and • SYAC0024: 6m at 0.69g/t Au from 21m. Drilling on the Western Line outlined a broad zone of near-surface gold mineralisation containing a coherent higher-grade zone across five consecutive holes. The higher-grade portion extended over approximately 60m, with true width not known, and was interpreted to correspond with altered, quartz-veined, pyrite-rich and sheared sediments within a north-east to south-west trending structural position. The results represented an important step forward in the understanding of Sheepyard, demonstrating that the extensive surface geochemical anomaly contains coherent zones of near-surface mineralisation grading above 1.0g/t Au. Figure 3: Sheepyard Prospect AC drilling plan view. Arsenic (As) in soil contoured results indicating a NE-SW trend to the surface expression of mineralisation. Broad zones of near-surface gold mineralisation were intersected in both the Western and Eastern line of AC drilling with selected holes of higher-grade gold mineralisation. True width of mineralisation is not known.

Annual Report 2026 I 9 Phase 2 Air-core drilling Based on the results of the initial AC program, Talisman completed a further 1,657m of AC drilling during the latter part of FY2026. Results received subsequent to the end of the financial year confirmed that this phase of drilling continued to intersect broad zones of shallow gold mineralisation, extending the known mineralised system over a currently unconstrained strike length of approximately 800m. Significant results included: • SYAC0085: 9m at 0.94g/t Au from 42m, including 6m at 1.28g/t Au; • SYAC0088: 15m at 0.55g/t Au from 3m, including 9m at 0.67g/t Au, and 15m at 0.46g/t Au from 30m, including 3m at 0.97g/t Au; • SYAC0082: 12m at 0.68g/t Au from 21m, including 9m at 0.78g/t Au to bottom-of-hole; • SYAC0083: 12m at 0.47g/t Au from 6m, including 3m at 0.82g/t Au; • SYAC0059: 9m at 0.57g/t Au from 18m, including 3m at 1.02g/t Au; • SYAC0064: 9m at 0.54g/t Au from 12m, including 3m at 0.88g/t Au; and • SYAC0067: 9m at 0.38g/t Au from 30m, including 3m at 0.54g/t Au. Importantly, the emerging mineralised footprint is interpreted to broadly coincide with the margins of the IP chargeability anomaly previously generated by Talisman. The main IP chargeability anomaly remains largely untested, providing a priority target for deeper drilling. Taken together, the RC and AC programs completed during FY2026 have significantly advanced Talisman’s understanding of Sheepyard and demonstrated the presence of an extensive gold mineralised system. Further exploration is expected to comprise additional AC drilling to expand the near-surface mineralised footprint, together with RC drilling to provide a more definitive test of the IP chargeability anomaly at depth. The broader Walkers Hill trend remains significantly under-explored, providing scope to identify additional mineralised positions along the extensive regional geochemical trend. Figure 4: Sheepyard Prospect western line of AC drilling - cross section 479050E looking east. A zone of higher-grade gold mineralisation, approximately 60m wide at surface, is indicated by the near-surface intersections in holes SYAC00040 to SYAC0044 within a broad zone of low-grade gold mineralisation. High-grade intersections include 15m at 1.10g/t Au from surface in SYAC00043 and 9m at 1.05g/t Au from 30m in SYAC0041are highlighted. Assaying is by 3m composite sample. True width of mineralisation is not known.

Annual Report 2026 I 11 Macquarie Arc Projects – NSW Talisman holds a significant portfolio of exploration tenure within the Macquarie Arc of central-western New South Wales. The Macquarie Arc is one of Australia’s premier gold and copper-gold mineral provinces and hosts major operating mines and deposits including Cadia, Northparkes, Cowal, Boda-Kaiser and Tomingley. During FY2026, Talisman undertook significant exploration programs at both the East Peak Hill and Yarindury Projects. East Peak Hill Gold-Copper Project The East Peak Hill Project (EL 9395) is located in the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt of the Macquarie Arc, approximately 10km south-east of the Tomingley Gold Operations. Talisman considers East Peak Hill prospective for orogenic shear-hosted gold, high-sulphidation epithermal gold and porphyry- style copper-gold mineralisation. Following initial auger drilling, which demonstrated that transported cover was deeper than anticipated across portions of the project, Talisman transitioned to AC drilling to systematically test the interpreted prospective geological trend. Phase 1 Air-core drilling During FY2026, Talisman completed a maiden 5,546m, 95-hole air-core drilling program across seven drill lines at East Peak Hill. The program tested approximately 4.5km of interpreted intrusive rocks within the highly prospective Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belt. On Line 2, drilling intersected a zone of sericite-carbonate alteration with anomalous gold, silver, arsenic and antimony on the eastern contact between the Mingelo Volcanics and Cotton Formation sediments. Significant results included: • EPAC0001: 9m at 0.22g/t Au, 837ppm As and 50ppm Sb; and • EPAC0003: 9m at 0.67g/t Au, 1,582ppm As and 62ppm Sb, including 3m at 1.75g/t Au, 3,030ppm As and 107ppm Sb. The style of alteration, geochemical association and structural position observed on Line 2 was considered encouraging given its similarities with the geological setting of mineralisation at the nearby Tomingley Operations. Further south, drilling on Line 7 intersected a broad, approximately 350m-wide zone of anomalous copper-cobalt- zinc-gold mineralisation adjacent to a large de-magnetised geophysical target. Significant results included: • EPAC0064: 21m at 460ppm Cu, 507ppm Co and 289ppm Zn; and • EPAC0084: 16m at 400ppm Cu, 360ppm Co and 150ppm Zn, including 3m at 0.21g/t Au, 0.11ppm Ag, 513ppm As, 400ppm Cu, 679ppm Co and 100ppm Zn. The results identified two distinct areas warranting further exploration – the anomalous gold-arsenic-antimony trend on Line 2 and the broader copper-cobalt-gold geochemical system associated with Line 7. Phase 2 Air-core drilling A follow-up program comprising 4,500m of air-core drilling commenced in May 2026. The program was designed to extend the mineralised trends identified in the maiden program and test additional geophysical targets across up to nine drill lines, including extensions to Lines 3 and 4 where prospective positions could not be fully tested during the initial program because of wet weather and temporary landholder access restrictions. Drilling was subsequently paused because of unfavourable weather conditions. The results generated from Phase 1 have provided Talisman with a significantly improved geological and geochemical framework for East Peak Hill and established a number of priority areas for systematic follow-up exploration.

Red colours highlight strong magnetic features which are interpreted as andesitic and or mafic intrusions. Recent AC drilling (red dots) has highlighted anomalous pathfinder elements on Line 2 and Line 7.

12 I Talisman Mining Limited Yarindury Porphyry Copper-Gold Project The Yarindury Project (EL 9679) is located approximately 30km north-east of Dubbo within the Molong Volcanic Belt of the Macquarie Arc. The project lies along the same prospective geological corridor as the Boda-Kaiser copper-gold system approximately 20km to the south-east, with the Cadia copper-gold operation located approximately 100km along strike to the south. The project is largely concealed beneath younger cover, making modern geophysical techniques an important component of Talisman’s exploration strategy. During July 2025, Talisman completed a three-line, approximately 13km combined Induced Polarisation- Magnetotelluric (IP-MT) ground geophysical survey at the Yarindury East Prospect. The survey identified several chargeability features, two of which were prioritised as potential targets for buried porphyry-style copper-gold mineralisation. During late 2025 and early 2026, Talisman completed two mud rotary and diamond drill holes, YRMRD0002 and YRMRD0003, for a total of 930.6m. The drilling was designed to provide an initial test of the two priority IP-MT anomalies, both of which sit beneath approximately 200m of cover. Assay results from both holes were received during the March 2026 Quarter, with no significant copper or gold intersections encountered. Core from the drilling has subsequently been characterised for alteration studies to enhance the Company’s understanding of the geological setting and provide potential vectors towards other prospective exploration positions within the broader Yarindury system. Gawler Craton – South Australia Mabel Creek IOCG Project Talisman holds 100% of the Mabel Creek Project, comprising approximately 1,048km² of tenure around 30km west of Coober Pedy in South Australia. The Project covers post-mineral concealed portions of the Northern Gawler Craton across the Nawa Domain and Mount Woods-Coober Pedy Ridge Complex and is considered prospective for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralisation. Talisman completed a three-hole, 1,367m diamond drilling program during FY2025, which intersected basement at depths of approximately 205m to 305m and identified variable hydrothermal alteration, including a broad alteration zone with elevated molybdenum and rare earth elements in MCMRD002. Talisman continued to assess the broader project area and the significance of these geological observations during FY2026 while prioritising exploration expenditure towards the more advanced opportunities within its NSW portfolio. The Company retains three granted exploration licences covering the Mabel Creek Project.

Annual Report 2026 I 13 Corporate Wonmunna Iron Ore Royalty Talisman holds an uncapped 1% gross revenue royalty on all metals produced and sold from the Wonmunna Iron Ore Mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Wonmunna is owned and operated by Mineral Resources Limited and has formed part of the ore supply to its broader Pilbara Hub operations. During FY2026, Talisman received a total of $3.858 million in royalty payments from Wonmunna. Royalty receipts progressively reduced during the year as the contribution of Wonmunna ore to Pilbara Hub production declined. Mineral Resources commenced transitioning Pilbara Hub ore supply from Wonmunna to Lamb Creek during FY2026, with first ore production from Lamb Creek commencing during the June 2026 Quarter. As previously foreshadowed, current operations at Wonmunna have wound down, however Talisman retains its royalty interest should production re-commence in future. Since production commenced at Wonmunna in March 2021, Talisman has received approximately $35.3 million in cumulative royalty payments. The Wonmunna royalty has provided Talisman with an important source of non-dilutive funding over a number of years, enabling the Company to maintain an active exploration program while preserving a strong capital structure. Project Portfolio Management Talisman continued to actively manage and rationalise its exploration portfolio during FY2026 to focus expenditure on opportunities considered to offer the strongest potential to generate shareholder value. During the June Quarter, the Company divested its 51% ownership of the Lucknow Joint Venture and its 51% interest in EL 6455 to Gold and Copper Resources Pty Ltd, a company associated with Lucknow Gold Limited, the existing 49% owner of the Joint Venture and EL 6455. Talisman received $35,000 cash consideration for the divestment and retained a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty over minerals produced from the tenement. New Project and Growth Opportunities Throughout FY2026, Talisman continued to review potential new mineral growth opportunities in Australia and elsewhere. The Company’s business development strategy is focussed on identifying value-accretive and consolidation opportunities, with a particular emphasis on gold opportunities in Western Australia that have the potential to provide Talisman with greater scale and a clear pathway to shareholder value creation. In parallel, Talisman undertook an extensive external review of its NSW exploration portfolio with highly regarded geological consultants Omni GeoX. This review was designed to ensure the Company’s exploration strategy and expenditure remain focused on the opportunities considered to offer the greatest potential for meaningful discovery and value creation in the near term. This strategic focus was enhanced during the June 2026 Quarter with the appointment of experienced resources and finance executive Todd Ross as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 June 2026. Mr Ross has extensive experience spanning the resources industry, corporate finance, business development and capital markets. He previously served as Managing Director of DevEx Resources and Nordic Resources Ltd, and before entering the junior resources sector held senior banking positions with BNP Paribas, including Managing Director, Head of Western Australia and Head of Metals & Mining. His appointment formed part of a planned leadership succession designed to provide an orderly transition from outgoing Managing Director Andrew Munckton. Subsequent Board and Leadership Changes Subsequent to the end of FY2026, Talisman completed the next stage of its leadership transition. On 20 August 2026, Todd Ross was appointed to the Board as Managing Director following completion of the planned handover period and the retirement of Andrew Munckton from the Board. Mr Munckton retired following three years at Talisman’s helm and a distinguished career spanning more than four decades in the Australian mining and exploration industry. Long-serving Non-Executive Director Peter Benjamin also retired from the Board after seven years to focus on his other business interests. During his tenure, Mr Benjamin provided significant technical and commercial experience and continuity through an important period in Talisman’s development. At the same time, highly experienced geologist and mining executive Mark Cossom was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Cossom has extensive experience spanning mineral exploration, mining operations and the management and governance of ASX-listed resource companies. He was a key member of the team that helped transform Doray Minerals from a junior explorer into an ASX-300 gold producer, holding a number of senior positions including General Manager – Geology and Exploration prior to its takeover by Silver Lake Resources. More recently, he held senior leadership positions with Gateway Mining, including Managing Director, where he led the company’s exploration and corporate strategy.

16 I Talisman Mining Limited Operating and Financial Risks The Group’s activities have inherent risk and the Board is unable to provide certainty of the expected results of activities, or that any or all of the activities will be achieved. Material business risks that could influence the Group’s future activities and prospects and how the Group manages these risks, are detailed below. Operational risks The Company may be affected by various operational factors. In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s operational and financial performance may be adversely affected. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, insufficient or unreliable infrastructure such as power, water and transport, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. The tenements are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are speculative and high-risk undertakings that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that exploration of the tenements, or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. There is no assurance that exploration or project studies by the Company will result in the definition of an economically viable mineral deposit or that the exploration tonnage estimates, and conceptual project developments discussed in this Report are able to be achieved. In the event the Company successfully delineates economic deposits on any tenement, it will need to apply for a mining lease to undertake development and mining on the relevant tenement. There is no guarantee that the Company will be granted a mining lease if one is applied for and if a mining lease is granted, it will also be subject to conditions which must be met. Revenue and Royalty risks The Company’s main source of recent revenue has been the Wonmunna Iron Ore Royalty. The royalty is based on 1% of gross revenue from the Wonmunna Iron Ore Project. The Owner and operator of Wonmunna is Mineral Resources Limited (MinRes). Due to a shift in priority by MinRes to the Lamb Creek deposit, Wonmunna mining has now ceased with some remaining stockpiles being processed. Wonmunna production may restart again in future but is in no way guaranteed. If Wonmunna does restart, future production may be affected by various operational factors including but not limited to customer demands, commercial iron ore prices, operational performance of Wonmunna, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve extension, Iron Ore product quality, weather and road transport interruption. In the event that any of these potential risks eventuate, the Company’s financial performance may be adversely affected. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial outcomes through the mining of Wonmunna and its tenement interests. Further capital requirements The Company’s projects may require additional funding in order to progress activities. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed to further exploration or possible development activities and operations or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Company. The Group’s ability to continue to explore and evaluate its projects is contingent upon its ability to source timely access to additional equity funding as is required. The Group closely monitors and controls its available funding and actions equity raising activities as required. Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage There are areas of the Company’s projects over which legitimate common law and/or statutory Native Title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. Where Native Title rights do exist, the Company must obtain consent of the relevant landowner to progress the exploration, development and mining phases of operations. Where there is an Aboriginal Site for the purposes of the Aboriginal Heritage legislation, the Company must obtain consents in accordance with the legislation.
Page 17
Annual Report 2026 I 17 The Company’s activities are subject to Government regulations and approvals The Company is subject to certain Government regulations and approvals. Any material adverse change in government policies or legislation in the States that the Company operates in or Australia in general that affect mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities, export activities, income tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability and profitability of any planned exploration or possible development of the Company’s portfolio of projects. Global conditions General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, commodity prices, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance. Tenure risks The Group is exposed to loss of its tenure holding if it is unable to meet its tenement commitments due to lack of funding or the inability to meet any of the other tenement requirements. The Group actively manages its tenure holding and exploration budgets to ensure that funds are available to meet commitments and engages with external tenement management consultants as required. Climate risks The Group is committed to being an effective environmental steward and managing its climate impacts, whilst fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities. The Group is committed to positive environmental management outcomes. The Group acknowledges the threat posed by climate change and works to interact with the environments in which it operates in a measured, proportionate and sustainable manner.

The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. Non-Audit Services Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 24 to the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are of the opinion that the services do not compromise the auditor’s independence as all non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board. Auditor Independence Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the Directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the annual report.

The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group.

On the same date Mr Peter Benjamin retired as Non-Executive Director and Mr Mark Cossom was appointed to fill this role. Key Management Personnel (excluding Non-Executive Directors) The Board is responsible for determining the remuneration policies for the Group, including those affecting Executive Directors and other key management personnel. The Board may seek appropriate external advice to assist in its decision making. The Company’s remuneration policy for Executive Directors and key management personnel is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Group. The main principles of the policy when considering remuneration are as follows: • Executive Directors and key management personnel are motivated to pursue long term growth and success of the Group within an appropriate control framework; • interests of key leadership are aligned with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders; and • there is a clear correlation between performance and remuneration. The remuneration policy for Executive Directors and other key management personnel comprises a mix of fixed remuneration and at-risk variable remuneration consisting of short-term and long-term incentives.
Page 27
Annual Report 2026 I 27 Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Remuneration Committee has access to external, independent advice where necessary. Executive Directors and other key management personnel are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. The fixed remuneration component is detailed in the remuneration for key management personnel tables for the years ended 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025. Short term incentives An annual short term incentive plan (STIP) exists for Executive Directors, other key management personnel and staff. The STIP represents a cash-based incentive that provides for a meaningful proportion of the total remuneration package for Executive Directors and other key management personnel to be at-risk. Benefits under the STIP may only be realised on the achievement of targets linked to the Company’s annual business objectives, prevailing economic conditions and individual commitment and performance. Potential rewards under the STIP only become payable at the absolute discretion of the Board. For the financial year ended 30 June 2026, there was no amount awarded in STIP to key management personnel as recommended by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. In the prior year there was also no award in STIP to key management personnel. The proportion of cash bonus paid/payable or forfeited is as follows: Name Bonus Payable Bonus Payable / Paid 2026 Bonus Forfeited 2026 Bonus Payable / Paid 2025 Bonus Forfeited 2025 Executive Director Andrew Munckton 0% 100% 0% 100% Executive Management Tim Sharp 0% 100% 0% 100% Long term incentives To align the interests of key management personnel with the long-term objectives of the Group and its shareholders, the Group’s policy, having regard to the stage of development of its assets, is to issue share options under the shareholder approved ‘Incentive Awards Plan’ (IAP) and at the discretion of the Board, subject to shareholder approval for Directors. The issue of share options as remuneration represents cost effective consideration to Directors and key management personnel for their commitment and contribution to the Group and are used as a strategic tool to recruit and retain high calibre personnel. Options issued under the IAP during the year vest after a fixed period during the life of the options (currently after 3 years) and value is only realised by Directors and key management personnel upon growth at a fixed premium to the 30-day volume weighted share price of the Company’s share price from the date of the grant of the options. Vesting conditions relating to the performance of the Group are not considered appropriate having regard to the stage of development of the Group’s assets. Participants in the IAP are prohibited from entering into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme. In addition, under the IAP , if the Board makes a determination that in its opinion an optionholder has been dismissed or removed from office for a reason which entitles the Company to dismiss the optionholder without notice or who has committed any act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the affairs of the Company (whether or not charged with an offence) or has done any act which brings the Company and its related bodies corporate or any one of them into disrepute, the options held by that optionholder will lapse. Non-Executive Directors The Group’s Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation) for their services and the reimbursement of reasonable expenses. The fees paid to the Group’s Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands on, and responsibilities of, the Directors. They do not receive any retirement benefits (other than compulsory superannuation). The Board decides annually the level of fees to be paid to Non-Executive Directors with reference to market standards. Non-Executive Directors may also receive share options where this is considered appropriate by the Board as a whole and with regard to the stage of the Group’s development. Such options vest across the life of the option and are primarily designed to provide an incentive to Non-Executive Directors to remain with the Group. Options issued to Non-Executive Directors are subject to shareholder approval. A Non-Executive Directors’ fee pool limit of $500,000 per annum was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2022. For the financial year ended 30 June 2026, this pool was utilised to a level of $245,079 (inclusive of superannuation). The fee paid for the 2026 financial year to the Chairman was $85,245 (including statutory superannuation) whilst each Non-Executive Director was paid $53,278 per annum (including statutory superannuation).

Remuneration of key management personnel (excluding Non-Executive Directors) is recommended annually by the Remuneration Committee in consultation with the Managing Director. Remuneration Philosophy The Board recognises that the performance and continued success of the business depend upon the quality of its people. To ensure the Group continues to innovate and grow it must attract, motivate, and retain highly skilled directors, executives and employees. To deliver this, the philosophy of the Group in determining remuneration levels is to set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees and to link a significant component of executive rewards to shareholder value creation. The size, nature and financial strength of the Group is also taken into account when setting remuneration levels so as to ensure that the operations of the Group remain sustainable. In considering the Group’s performance and impact on shareholder returns, the Board has regard to the following indicators of performance in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years: 30 June 2026 30 June 2025 30 June 2024 30 June 2023 30 June 2022 Revenue/Other Income ($) 3,615,950 7 , 7 3 5 , 2 2 2 9 , 5 0 0 , 1 6 6 7 , 6 5 8 , 2 8 7 6 , 4 5 8 , 9 9 7 Net profit/(loss) after tax ($) (2,704,685) (2,325,923) (2,915,550) 65,664 (1,110,828) Earnings/(loss) per share (cents) (1.44) (1.24) (1.55) 0.04 (0.60) Share price ($) 0.067 0.135 0.250 0.170 0.140

36 I Talisman Mining Limited INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial repor t or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. − Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s repor t unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

HLB Mann Judd M R Ohm Chartered Accountants Partner Perth, Western Australia 25 September 2026 our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of: (a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and (b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of : (a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and (b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the d irectors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: − Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. − Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. − Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. − Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or

Annual Report 2026 I 37 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial repor t or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. − Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s repor t unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2026.

42 I Talisman Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2026 Note 1: Statement of Material Accounting Policies Talisman Mining Limited (the Company) is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: TLM) and incorporated and operating in Australia. The Company’s Registered Office and its principal place of business is: Ground Floor, Suite 1 33 Colin Street West Perth WA 6005 The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report. Material Accounting Policies a. Basis of preparation These financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law. The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements for the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Talisman Mining Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated as permitted by the option available to the Company under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2026/183. The Company is an entity to which this instrument applies. b. Adoption of new and revised standards Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2026 During the year ended 30 June 2026, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2026. The consolidated entity’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The standard replaces IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ , with many of the original disclosure requirements retained and there will be no impact on the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements. But the standard will affect presentation and disclosure in the financial statements, including introducing five categories in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The standard introduces two mandatory sub-totals in the statement: ‘Operating profit’ and ‘Profit before financing and income taxes’ . There are also new disclosure requirements for ‘management-defined performance measures’ , such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’) or ‘adjusted profit’ . The standard provides enhanced guidance on grouping of information (aggregation and disaggregation), including whether to present this information in the primary financial statements or in the notes. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2027 and it is expected that there will be a significant change to the layout of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. c. Statement of compliance The financial report was authorised for issue on 25 September 2026. The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Annual Report 2026 I 43 Note 1: Statement of Material Accounting Policies (continued) d. Material accounting estimates and judgements The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Exploration and Evaluation Exploration and evaluation acquisition costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production of the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes, and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and Directors by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value of employee and Director options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of performance rights containing market-based vesting conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant assumptions used in these valuation models include expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, share price, expected life and the specific vesting conditions attached to the instruments. Refer to Note 17 for details of the assumptions used. e. Going concern The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. f. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: • has power over the investee; • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights in an investee, it has the power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including: • the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

44 I Talisman Mining Limited Note 2: Revenue, Other Income and Expenses Interest revenue Interest revenue from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition. Royalty income Royalty income represents the right to receive royalties from metals produced and sold by the operator of the mines in which the Group owns a royalty interest and are generally structured as a percentage of the gross revenue received by the producer for metals sold. The Group records income in the relevant period upon receipt of the sales-based information for that period from the mine operator.

Income Tax Consolidation Talisman Mining Limited and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries (Controlled Entities) implemented the tax consolidation legislation effective as of 1 July 2003. The Controlled Entities have also entered into tax sharing and tax funding agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, the Controlled Entities will reimburse Talisman for any current income tax payable by Talisman arising in respect of their activities. The reimbursements are payable at the same time as the associated income tax liability falls due and will therefore be recognised as a current tax-related receivable by Talisman when they arise. In the opinion of the Directors, the tax sharing agreement is also a valid agreement under the tax consolidation legislation and limits the joint and several liability of the Controlled Entities in the case of a default by Talisman. Change in tax rate Having regard to the future operations and potential income derivation, it is considered that Talisman Mining Ltd should be considered a ‘base rate entity’ for income tax purposes and subject to a future corporate tax rate of 25%. Accordingly, the numerical reconciliation of tax expense and the unrecognised deferred tax positions have been calculated using the corporate tax rate of 25%.

46 I Talisman Mining Limited Note 4: Segment Reporting Talisman management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board for strategic decision making. The Group operates in one geographical segment, being Australia and has identified the following continuing operating segment: Regional Exploration. The Group’s Board are responsible for budgets and expenditures relating to the Group’s Regional Exploration activities. Regional Exploration activities do not normally derive any income. Should a project generated by Regional Exploration activities commence generating income or lead to the development of a mining operation, that operation would then be disaggregated from Regional Exploration and become reportable in a different segment.

48 I Talisman Mining Limited Note 8: Financial Assets Financial assets represent an investment in shares in a public listed company that were purchased with cash of $500,000. At 30 June 2026, this investment was marked to market resulting in a fair value loss recognised in profit or loss of $97,500. The fair value of the financial assets is a level 1 input, derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. 30 Jun 26 $ 30 Jun 25 $ Non-Current Assets Balance at beginning of year 262,500 250,000 Net fair value (loss)/gain (97,500) 12,500 Carrying value at end of financial year 165,000 262,500 Note 9: Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and less any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Buildings and Leasehold improvements 10 years Office furniture and equipment 2-6 years Motor vehicles 5-10 years The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to profit or loss as incurred except in the following circumstances in which case the expenditure may be capitalised: • the existence of a mineral deposit has been established however additional expenditure is required to determine the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction and it is anticipated that future economic benefits are more likely than not to be generated as a result of the expenditure; and • the exploration and evaluation activity is within an area of interest which was acquired as an asset acquisition or in a business combination and measured at fair value on acquisition. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. An impairment exists when the carrying value of expenditure exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The area of interest is then written down to its recoverable amount and the impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years. Upon approval for the commercial development of an area of interest, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment and transferred to ‘Mine properties and development’ . No amortisation is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase. On 12 June 2023, the Company issued 580,852 shares to First Au Limited (ASX: FAU) at a market value of $0.17216 per share, representing $100,000 of the $300,000 consideration payable for the acquisition of three tenements (the “Mabel Creek” tenements) in South Australia. 30 Jun 26 $ 30 Jun 25 $ Costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the following phases: Exploration and evaluation phase – at cost Balance at beginning of year 300,000 300,000 Acquisition costs - - Carrying value at end of financial year 300,000 300,000

54 I Talisman Mining Limited Note 17: Share-Based Payment Plans Incentive Awards Plan (“IAP”) The Group has an Incentive Awards Plan (“IAP”) for executives and employees of the Group. In accordance with the provisions of the IAP , as approved by shareholders at a previous Annual General Meeting, executives and employees may be granted options at the discretion of the Directors. Each employee share option converts into one ordinary share of Talisman Mining Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The number of options granted is at the sole discretion of the Directors subject to a cap on the total number of securities which may be issued as determined by General Meeting of shareholders from time to time and currently set at 20,000,000. Options issued to Directors under the IAP are subject to approval by shareholders and have attached vesting conditions as appropriate. The contractual life of each option granted is 4 years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.

The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under the incentive plan is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The key inputs into the option model for the options issued in the current period are as follows: Key inputs into option model(i) Staff December 2025 Exercise price $0.227 Grant date share price $0.125 Expected volatility 72.4% Risk-free interest rate 4.26% Dividend yield (%) 0% Expected life of options (years) 4.00 (i) The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Each other tranche whose performance condition is satisfied within 120 days after the Initial Satisfaction Date will also vest (subject to the 3% cap). At the end of that 120-day period (the vesting cut-off date), all tranches of performance securities whose performance conditions have not been satisfied will automatically lapse and be cancelled for no consideration. Vesting of the performance securities is also subject at all times to continued employment and a 3-year disposal restriction. Note 18: Financial Instruments (a) Introduction The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments: • Credit risk • Interest rate risk • Liquidity risk • Capital risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this note and the financial report. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group’s aim is to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value on a recurring basis approximate their fair value. (c) Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses publicly available financial information and its own trading record to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the Risk Committee annually. Credit risk in other receivables is managed by the Group undertaking a regular risk assessment process including assessing the credit quality of the counterparty, considering its financial position, past experience and other factors. As there are a relatively small number of transactions, they are closely monitored to ensure payments are made on time. Credit risk arising from royalty receivables is managed by a contract that stipulates payment terms and penalties for default. The Group does not have any significant receivables which are past due or impaired at the reporting date and it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. (d) Liquidity Risk Management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following table details the Company’s and the Group’s expected contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. These have been drawn up based on undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial assets and liabilities based on the earliest date the Group can be required to repay.

Some of the Group’s assets are subject to interest rate risk but the Group is not dependent on this income. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date has been determined based on a change of 50 basis points in interest rates taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the year. At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were constant, the Group’s net loss would have reduced by $15,345 (2025: $22,210). (f) Capital risk management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Group consists of equity only, comprising issued capital and reserves, net of accumulated losses. The Group’s policy is to use capital market issues and debt funding to meet the funding requirements of the Group. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Annual Report 2026 I 59 Note 19: Joint Operations Mt Walton Joint Venture In November 2017, Haverford Holdings Pty Ltd (“Haverford”), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Talisman, entered into a Farm-In Agreement (“FIA”) with Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX, “Peel”) over Peel’s Mt Walton (EL8414) and Michelago (EL8451) Projects (collectively the Peel Tenements) in the Cobar Basin region of New South Wales. On 11 September 2020, and in accordance with the terms of the FIA, Haverford earned a 75% interest in the Peel Tenements and formed an unincorporated joint venture (the “Mt Walton JV”) with Peel. Haverford was the Joint Venture Manager. Subsequent to the formation of the Mt Walton JV , Peel elected to dilute parts of its participating interest in the joint venture and both parties were required to contribute funds to ongoing exploration activities on the Peel Tenements based on their participating interest in order to maintain their respective interests. During the reporting period, Peel elected not to contribute further funding and diluted below the 10% ownership threshold with their interest reverting to a 1.5% NSR royalty and Talisman’s ownership increasing to 100%. As a result of this, the costs associated with the former joint venture are now consolidated within the Group’s exploration expenditure. Lucknow Gold Joint Venture In August 2019, Talisman B Pty Ltd (“TLMB”), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Talisman, entered into a Farm-In Agreement (“Agreement”) with privately-owned Lucknow Gold Ltd (“LGL”) over LGL’s Lucknow Gold Project (EL6455) (Lucknow Project) in New South Wales. During the period ending 30 June 2021, and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, TLMB earned a 51% interest in the Lucknow Project and formed an unincorporated joint venture (the “Lucknow Gold JV”) with LGL. Both parties were required to contribute funds to future activities on the Lucknow Project based on their participating interest (TLMB 51% and LGL 49%) in order to maintain their respective interests. During the period the Company divested its 51% ownership of the Lucknow JV and its 51% interest in EL6455 to Gold and Copper Resources Pty Ltd, a company associated with LGL resulting in the termination of the joint venture. The tenement and JV interest was sold for $35,000 cash plus a 1% NSR royalty on minerals produced from the tenement. Up until the date of termination of both joint ventures, the Group was entitled to a proportionate share of the income received and bore a proportionate share of the operation’s expenses for each joint venture. Expenditure incurred on the Mt Walton JV during the period was $119,587 and on the Lucknow JV was $4,412. These costs are included in the Group’s exploration expenditure.

60 I Talisman Mining Limited Note 20: Commitments and Contingencies Commitments In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by various State governments. These obligations are not provided for in the financial report and are payable as follows: 30 Jun 26 $ 30 Jun 25 $ Exploration expenditure Within one year 2,550,764 1,902,508 After one year but not more than five years 3,001,759 4,134,467 Greater than five years - 184,084 5,552,523 6,221,059 If the Group decides to relinquish certain exploration tenements and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. Contingent Asset A Gross Royalty deed has previously been executed where the Company was granted an uncapped and perpetual 1.0% gross royalty on all metals produced and sold from the Wonmunna Iron Ore project. Royalty income received for the period was $3.494m. It is not possible (due to uncertain future production) to estimate the financial effect of the royalty described above. During the period the Company divested its 51% ownership of the Lucknow JV and its 51% interest in EL6455 to Gold and Copper Resources Pty Ltd, a company associated with Lucknow Gold Limited resulting in the termination of the joint venture. The tenement and JV interest were sold for $35,000 cash plus a 1% NSR royalty on minerals produced from the tenement. Contingent Liability During the period, Peel Mining Limited elected not to contribute further funding towards the Mt Walton Joint Venture with Haverford Holdings Pty Ltd and as a result diluted their interest below the 10% ownership threshold which resulted in their interest reverting to a 1.5% NSR royalty and Talisman’s ownership increasing to 100%. Apart from the above, there are no other material contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2026 and no contingent liabilities or assets were incurred in the interval between the period end and the date of this financial report.
