FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NTL FY 202 4 Preliminary Results (non-audited) [ASX, NZX: NTL]

New Talisman has today reported its preliminary FY 2024 results. Our focus for the year has continued to be

readying Talisman mine for production. We are pleased that this has been achieved. Now we await final

Department of Conservation approvals at Talisman and, with shareholder support, we will be able to commence

production.

Summary of key Results and Events

•Completion of a successful Capital Raise and placement of shortfall, to support recommencement of

our operations at Talisman Mine

•Appointed Terra Firma Mining to operate the mine and commitment by them to take a 300k shareholding

in NTL.

•Progressed the Talisman mine to a state of readiness to begin production, including appointing key

statutory roles, completing digitised survey plans and mine development plan, inspection, maintenance

and rehabilitation of the site.

•Extensive due diligence on processing options.

•Engagement with key community, iwi and other stakeholders

•Continuous engagement on access arrangements with the Department of Conservation, including a

site visit.

•Positive underground inspection at Talisman by Worksafe senior inspectors.

•Partial conversion of the Convertible Debt Security to shares (to the ceiling permitted under NZ takeover

law)

•Obtained a 2 year extension of time for the Vanuatu Prospecting License and continues to seek

exploration partners.

•No dividend attributed to this period.

In summary, the Company's financial year to March 31, 2024 has been somewhat frustrating.

New Talisman has been able to progress the Talisman mine to a state of readiness to begin production in the

Quarter to December 2023.

However, despite our best efforts at proactive engagement, the Department of Conservation has been extremely

slow and unfocussed in progressing our long-term Access Arrangement and associated Authority to Enter and

Operate. We now expect a decision in June 2024.

The inevitable result of these delays, and the impact on our original production and revenue timetable, is that

we will now have to raise further funds before we are able to remobilise our team, finalise a processing

agreement, buy a processing plant and commence production. NTL continues to seek interest from potential

partners to explore our Vanuatu permit. Given that we have not been able to finalise any arrangements during

the year, the Board has taken the prudent approach to book an impairment provision against these Assets.
