 Teufelskuppe - New Drill Results

Kendrick Resources ('Kendrick" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the latest portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analytical results from diamond drill holes TKDD001 to TKDD003 at the Teufelskuppe Project ("TK" or "the Project"), further confirming the presence of extensive, high-grade rare earth element ("REE") mineralisation.

Highlights

· Previously unanalysed core from TKDD001 returned outstanding individual pXRF values of 6.42 wt%, 3.95 wt%, 3.87 wt% and 2.50 wt% TREO within the upper section of the hole, further enhancing the mineralised profile.

· Previously reported exceptional intercepts from TKDD001 remain unchanged, including 8.14 wt% TREO over 21.16m, confirming the continuity of the mineralisation.

· TKDD002 delivered excellent peak individual pXRF values of 15.10 wt%, 10.02 wt%, 9.99 wt%, 5.33 wt% and 4.00 wt% TREO, with a significant mineralised intercept of 2.75m at 4.91 wt% TREO from 109.25m

· TKDD002 also demonstrates widespread REE mineralisation throughout the drill hole, with multiple high-grade intervals separated by zones of core loss. Notable intercepts include:

o  1.83 wt% TREO over 0.50m from 61.75m

o  1.76 wt% TREO over 1.25m from 63.75m

o  2.55 wt% TREO over 0.50m from 76.75m

o  1.20 wt% TREO over 2.00m from 78.75m

o  1.16 wt% TREO over 1.50m from 83.75m

· TKDD003 also confirmed excellent continuity of mineralisation, returning strong intercepts including:

o  10.91 wt% TREO over 1.25m from 90.75m

o  4.67 wt% TREO over 3.75m from 42.75m

o  3.15 wt% TREO over 0.50m from 34.75m

o  2.60 wt% TREO over 1.75m from 36.25m

· The continuity of mineralisation in TKDD003 is further demonstrated by consistently high individual pXRF readings recorded between zones of core loss, including 5.10 wt%, 9.72 wt%, 9.64 wt% and 10.48 wt% TREO at 69.0m, 69.5m, 70.0m and 71.0m respectively. Multiple additional mineralised intervals ranging from 1.5 wt% to 8.2 wt% TREO were identified throughout the hole, highlighting the scale and persistence of the REE system.

· LREOs consistently account for more than 95 wt% of TREOs, reinforcing the Project's strong LREE-dominant mineral assemblage.

· Samples have been dispatched for certified laboratory analysis and drilling is continuing.

Colin Bird, Chairman of Kendrick Resources commented "The continuity of mineralisation is very encouraging, particularly our ability to match extensive surface exposures of mineralisation with depth extensions intersected during drilling. Ultimately, we would expect this continuity to be reflected in the Mineral Resource Estimate. Drilling is continuing at pace as we build the drilling database ahead of a Mineral Resource Estimate for Teufelskuppe".

Development Plan Progress

The Company is progressing the Project in line with the published Development Plan schedule announced on 5 May 2026. Verification of the in-house MRE and upgrading to compliance with JORC (2012) has been initiated alongside the still progressing diamond drilling campaign to ascertain the depth and sub-surface spread of carbonatite mineralisation below the natural surface profile of the TK landscape.

Economics and Markets

The predominant rare earths of economic value in the TK complex are light elements in the order Ce>La>Nd>Pr, with neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) together providing an average 25% (by wt) of the ca. 3% wt% rare earth pool. HREO's average 0.15 wt% across surface and deeper carbonatites. These grades continue to position the TK carbonatite complex in the upper quartile on a global scale compared with the major producers of rare earths elsewhere (Center for Strategic and International Studies, January 2026).

Rare earths are critical to specific modern technologies where no effective substitutes exist. Sustained demand for super magnets in electronics, renewable energy, and electric vehicles continues to push prices upwards and manufacturing need shows no sign of slowing. The global metals market is valued at approximately $18.2 billion with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.6% (Intnl. Energy Agency, 2026). The present trends are further underpinned by demands for rare earths used in defence systems, medical imaging, telecommunications and advanced visual displays. All these sector demands underpin the commercial potential of TK.

Diversification of market supply to meet increasing manufacturing need is a recognised priority for most industrialised nations and international partnerships are being formed to diversify and protect supply chains for key industrial sectors, and to safeguard against supply disruptions (Fortune Business Insights, 2026)

The Company is entirely focused on ways in which the development of TK can address the needs of free-market economies and to the benefit of all stakeholders including Namibia, the host nation.

Near-Term Development Plan for TK

The Company is advancing JORC-2012 certification of the provisional and visible 14Mt surface MRE for TK, as announced on 11 May 2026. Recent drill results further underpin the confidence that these surface resources are only a modest fraction of the mineable total as indicted in the announcement of 15 May 2026. Channel data, when tied-in with the results from boreholes provide ever-increasing certainty of both lateral continuity in surface rare earth mineralisation and the continuation of REE-rich resources at mineable depths well below the natural desert land surface.

The Company projects a much larger resource for the overall Project than is known at this time. Drill data is showing sub-surface geo-continuity thus offering a potentially significant resource upside.

TK is developing into a prospective new source of commercial rare earth production for free-market economies and industrialised nations, and the combination therein of 59 Pr and 60Nd remains the economic cornerstone of the Project. Development through to production will enable Namibia to realise and secure one of the largest newly recognised rare earth deposits in the world for defence and advanced technologies.

The nearby presence of other intrusive carbonatites at Kieshohe, together with a defined in-house (non-JORC) Mineral Resource and established access and infrastructure, positions TK as a near-term development opportunity with exciting potential.

About Kendrick Resources Plc

Kendrick Resources Plc is a mineral exploration and development company whose strategy is to acquire and enhance the value of its mineral resource projects through exploration, technical studies and resource development and to bring projects to production through joint venture or other arrangements or their sale.

The Kendrick Board has extensive resource project experience in southern Africa and has gravitated back to the region with the acquisition of the Bonya Rare Earth Project located in Namibia and in late 2025 exercised an option in relation to the acquisition of the Blue Fox Licence, 34412-HQ-LEL located in northwest Zambia.
