Eclipse Mining Licence Sale Extension

Empire Metals Limited, the AIM-quoted and OTCQX-traded exploration and development company, notifies the market that the sale of its 75% interest in the Eclipse Mining Licence ("Eclipse ML") has been extended by one month to 30 April 2026, with the purchaser granted additional time to complete due diligence following delays to drilling assay results.

The sale of Empire's 75% interest in the Eclipse ML is ongoing. The extension reflects the following:

· The purchaser has completed a drill programme, with a total of 10 RC holes drilled for 514 metres.

· Assay results have been delayed due to longer laboratory turnaround times than anticipated, and the purchaser requires additional time to complete their analysis.

· As per the RNS dated 30 December 2025, A$50,000 non-refundable deposit has been received, with the balance of A$700,000 due at settlement, pending successful due diligence.

The Eclipse ML sale is consistent with Empire's strategy to divest non-core assets and focus capital on the Pitfield Titanium Project.

About Empire Metals Limited

Empire Metals Ltd (AIM: EEE and OTCQX: EPMLF) is an exploration and resource development company focused on the commercialisation of the Pitfield Titanium Project, located in Western Australia. The titanium discovery at Pitfield is of unprecedented scale and hosts one of the largest and highest-grade titanium resources reported globally, with a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totalling 2.2 billion tonnes grading 5.1% TiO₂ for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO₂.

Titanium mineralisation at Pitfield occurs from surface and displays exceptional grade continuity along strike and down dip. The MRE extends across just 20% of the known mineralised footprint, providing substantial potential for further resource expansion.

Conventional processing has already produced a high-purity product grading 99.25% TiO₂, suitable for titanium sponge metal or pigment feedstock. With excellent logistics and established infrastructure, Pitfield is strategically positioned to supply the growing global demand for titanium and other critical minerals.
