QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Pinnacle Minerals Limited (ASX: PIM) (“Pinnacle” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an
overview of its activities for the period ended 31 March 2026 (the “Quarter” or the “Reporting
Period”), as well as its Appendix 4C for the Reporting Period.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Pinnacle streamlined its portfolio, relinquishing the eight U.S. critical minerals projects
following mutual termination of the binding heads agreements in February of 2026, with
no adverse financial impact on the Company
• The Company retained its core Australian and Canadian project base in good standing,
including the Capel Mineral Sands Project (E70/6372, Western Australia), the Wirrulla
Rare Earth Element (REE) Project (EL 6968, South Australia), and its 75%-owned Adina
East Lithium Project in Québec.
• Pinnacle continued its strategic review across its portfolio, assessing strategic pathways
to unlock value across its retained assets, including potential farm-out, joint venture,
and other transaction structures, while evaluating new opportunities across critical
minerals, precious metals, and battery minerals
• Pinnacle’s Board was strengthened with the appointment of Mr Aharon (Ari) Zaetz as
Non-Executive Director, while Mr Jay Stephenson transitioned from the Board to focus
on his role as Company Secretary, maintaining continuity and support to the Company
• Pinnacle ended the Quarter with ~A$2.56 million in cash, providing a strong platform to
pursue new value-accretive opportunities
Chairman’s Comment, Stephen Ross
“The March 2026 Quarter marked an important repositioning for Pinnacle, with the Company now
streamlined around a focused portfolio of high quality assets in Australia and Canada. With a strong
balance sheet and no legacy obligations, we are placed to pursue strategic partnerships and new
opportunities that align with our critical minerals strategy. Our priority is to unlock value across Capel,
Wirrulla and Adina East while remaining disciplined in how we deploy capital and assess growth
opportunities”.

Overview of the Quarter
The March 2026 Quarter marked a decisive strategic reset for Pinnacle, sharpening the Company’s
focus and reinforcing its balance sheet and register. Following the mutual termination of the
Idaho Antimony transaction agreements in February 2026, Pinnacle exits the period
unencumbered, free of legacy obligations and with a strong cash position of A$2,558,547. This
repositioning provides a clean platform to pursue disciplined growth and value-accretive
opportunities. The Company now advances with a streamlined, high-conviction portfolio
comprising the Capel Mineral Sands Project in Western Australia, the Wirrulla REE and Uranium
Project in South Australia, and its 75%-owned Adina East Lithium Project in Québec, Canada—
assets aligned with global decarbonisation and critical minerals demand trends. With its retained
Projects in good standing and balance sheet preserved, the Company is focused on assessing
pathways to unlock value from its existing portfolio while reviewing new opportunities that align
with its strategy across critical minerals, battery minerals and precious metals.
The Quarter also saw a Board refresh with the appointment of Ari Zaetz, further strengthening
Pinnacle’s legal and transactional capability as it advances this next phase.
Capel Mineral Sands Project (Western Australia)
The Capel Mineral Sands Project (E70/6372) (“Capel”), located in the South West of Western
Australia, covers a palaeo-shoreline previously explored by Iluka Resources and Tronox Ltd (NYSE:
TROX).
Capel was maintained in good standing during the March 2026 Quarter, as the Company
evaluates strategic pathways to advance the project in a capital efficient manner.
Pinnacle completed a 2,067m, 95-hole aircore drill program in 2024 targeting two shoreline
trends, aimed at defining an ilmenite-dominant heavy mineral resource with accessory zircon and
rutile.
Key historical intercepts include:
• 21m at 3.3% HM from surface (RB007)
• 21m at 2.6% HM from surface (RB001)
• 18m at 2.2% HM from surface (RB003).
Capel benefits from favourable infrastructure access, being located on predominantly cleared
farmland with close proximity to existing roads, power and port facilities, supporting potential
development optionality. With two companies Doral and Tronox operating heavy mineral sands
mines nearby, the project is well located.
Wirrulla REE and Uranium Project (South Australia)
The Wirrulla Project (EL 6968) (“Wirrulla”) covers a 957 km² tenement on South Australia’s
Northern Eyre Peninsula, and is considered prospective for rare earth elements and uranium.
www.pinnacleminerals.com.au 3
Wirrulla hosts shallow clay-hosted REE mineralisation and is underlain by a circular magnetic
feature, with historical petrographic analysis indicating the presence of a pre-metamorphic ijolitic
intrusive potentially associated with carbonatites.
Wirrulla was maintained in good standing during the March 2026 Quarter, with the Company
focused on assessing strategic pathways to unlock value, including potential farm-out or joint
venture arrangements to advance the asset without significant capital outlay.

Resources (LSE:COBR) Boland Ionic REE Project
Adina East: Lithium (Canada)
The Adina East Lithium Project (“Adina East”) is located in Québec’s James Bay region,
encompassing 147 claims totalling 72.7km² (7,274.47 ha). Pinnacle holds a 75% interest through
Pinnacle Minerals James Bay Ltd.
Adina East is strategically positioned adjacent to an interpreted extension of the Trieste
greenstone belt and sits within a highly active lithium exploration corridor.
www.pinnacleminerals.com.au 4
Adina East is within Category-III lands and does not carry restrictions relating to mining or
exploration under the James Bay Agreement with the Cree Nation.
The Adina East Lithium Project adjoins Loyal Metals Ltd’s (ASX: LLM)’s Trieste Project, where
spodumene-bearing dykes have returned intercepts, including 31.8m at 2.2% Li2O, less than 6km
from the Adina East boundary, and Li-FT Power Ltd’s (TSXV: LIFT) Tilly Project, where swarming
pegmatites are interpreted to extend into the Adina East tenure.
No on-ground exploration was conducted at Adina East during the March 2026 Quarter. The Adina
East Lithium Project is being held in good standing while the Company assesses strategic options
and determines the appropriate timing for future field activities in the James Bay lithium corridor.

CORPORATE
During the March 2026 Quarter, the Company undertook the following key corporate activities,
aligned with its strategic reset.
On 31 March 2026, Mr Aharon (Ari) Zaetz was appointed as a Non-Executive Director, bringing his
experience in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and commercial negotiations to the
www.pinnacleminerals.com.au 5
Pinnacle Board. Mr Zaetz currently serves as an Executive Director of Resolution Minerals Ltd
(ASX: RML) and has strengthened the Company’s capability as it evaluates new opportunities.
Mr Jay Stephenson transitioned away from his role as a Director on Pinnacle’s Board and will
continue his role as Company Secretary, effective 31 March 2026.
As announced on 2 February 2026, the binding heads of agreement relating to the proposed
acquisition of U.S. critical minerals assets were mutually terminated. Pinnacle has no further
obligations under these agreements.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Pinnacle ended the March 2026 Quarter with cash and cash equivalents of A$2,558,547, supporting
disciplined capital management and the evaluation of new opportunities.
Outlook – June Quarter 2026 (Q4 FY2026)
• Continue active assessment of new mineral acquisition opportunities across critical minerals,
precious metals and battery materials.
• Progress strategic evaluation of the Capel and Wirrulla Projects, including potential farm-out
or joint venture arrangements.
• Determine the optimal development pathway for the Adina East Lithium Project in Québec,
Canada.
• Maintain disciplined capital management while engaging with capital markets advisors to
identify and evaluate value-accretive opportunities.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Pinnacle Minerals Ltd.
