Strong Institutional Backing to Accelerate Mumbezhi

Prospect Resources Limited (ASX: PSC) has completed a AU$45 million equity placement, issuing approximately 118.4 million new shares at AU$0.38 per share. The raising attracted participation from both domestic and offshore institutional investors, alongside existing shareholders.

The placement includes an unconditional tranche of approximately AU$38.2 million and a conditional tranche of AU$6.8 million subscribed by Eagle Eye Asset Holdings Pte Ltd, subject to shareholder approval. The issue price represents an 8.4% discount to the last traded price of AU$0.415 and a 12.7% discount to the 10-day VWAP of AU$0.435.

50,000m Drilling Campaign Planned

Proceeds will primarily fund an additional 50,000 metres of resource expansion and exploration drilling across 2026 and 2027 at the Mumbezhi Copper Project in north-western Zambia. The program will initially focus on extending and upgrading the flagship Nyungu Central deposit, where maiden cobalt and gold components have also been defined.

Phase 3 drilling is scheduled to commence in Q2 2026 and will also test high-priority regional targets including Chipimpa, Sharamba, Nyungu South and Kamafamba. Target generation is being supported by airborne geophysics, soil geochemistry, geological mapping, IP surveys, and first-pass aircore and RC drilling.

Advancing Toward Development Studies

In addition to drilling, funds will support metallurgical studies assessing gold and cobalt recoveries, completion of an internal Scoping Study in H2 2026, and progression toward a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for H2 2027. The company is also allocating capital toward broader technical studies and business development initiatives in Zambia.

The updated Mumbezhi Mineral Resource estimate of 173.8Mt @ 0.44% Cu (0.50% CuEq) for 772kt of contained copper provides a foundation for further scale growth. Located within Zambia’s Central African Copperbelt and surrounded by established copper operations (as shown in the project map on page 3 of the announcement), Mumbezhi remains positioned within a globally significant copper jurisdiction.

With funding secured, Prospect is now positioned to accelerate resource growth and technical advancement at Mumbezhi over the next 18–24 months.
