Second R&D Funding Tranche Secured as CODES
Partnership Delivers New Mineral Systems
Insights
Highlights
• Company gains access to a A$755,000 loan facility for R&D-related activities forecast for FY2026
under the Federal Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive (R&DTI) program. This
non-dilutive funding is in addition to the A$930,000 facility established in March 2026.
• R&D program includes continued collaboration with CODES (University of Tasmania), a globally
recognised leader in ore deposit research, leveraging world-class expertise in Reduced
Intrusion-Related Gold Systems.
Right Resources Limited (ASX: RRE) (Right Resources or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has
secured an approved facility of A$755,000 with Rockford RDF Pty Ltd (Rockford) to provide funding for R&D
activities undertaken during the period February to April 2026 (inclusive).
Following an evaluation of the Company’s ongoing R&D activities with Deloitte, this facility represents the
second tranche of R&D funding secured for FY2026. This follows an initial facility of A$930,000 covering
the period July 2025 to January 2026 (refer ASX announcement 31 March 2026), bringing the total R&D
funding secured for FY2026 to A$1,685,000.
This facility essentially advances funds to the Company that are otherwise expected to be received when its
R&DTI refund is paid, providing early access to non-dilutive capital based on eligible R&D expenditure
incurred and the forecast R&DTI refund expected to be received for FY2026. Full repayment of the facility is
expected to be made by the Company upon receipt of its R&DTI refund, anticipated in H2 CY 2026. This
funding approach was successfully utilised in FY2025.
Right Resources Managing Director, Graham Howard, commented:
“Early access to forecast FY2026 R&D funding provides non-dilutive capital to accelerate and expand our
collaboration with CODES and advance our understanding of the Tumbarumba metallogenic province. Our
ongoing research and project evaluation continues to deliver significant insights into both gold and newly
recognised critical mineral systems, reinforcing our view that Tumbarumba is emerging as a highly prospective
metallogenic province.”
Right Resources continues to undertake this work in collaboration with the Centre for Ore Deposits and
Earth Sciences (CODES) at the University of Tasmania, a globally recognised leader in ore deposit research.
Working closely with Professor David Cooke, Dr Francisco Testa and a dedicated research team, the
collaboration is developing an enhanced mineral systems model for the Tumbarumba district, improving
understanding of previously unrecognised mineralisation styles and strengthening the technical foundations
for future exploration.
Following a two-week site visit to the Company’s Tumbarumba tenure in February 2026, CODES highlighted
that the collaboration is:
“…advancing understanding of the hydrothermal history behind newly discovered Au and associated Cu
systems across the Tumbarumba district in NSW; one of Australia’s most promising emerging mineral
provinces” (CODES Newsletter, March 2026).

Funding from this facility will support the continuation and expansion of field programs, data collection and
technical interpretation. Ongoing and planned work programs are expected to generate further insights to
refine the Company’s evolving metallogenic model for the district and inform future exploration targeting.
The expanded program with CODES will continue to deliver valuable datasets and technical insights,
supporting ongoing collaborative work and near-term outcomes aimed at building confidence in the
metallogenic model for the Tumbarumba province.

About Right Resources (ASX: RRE)
Right Resources Limited is a New South Wales-based mineral exploration company focused on advancing a
portfolio of gold, copper and critical mineral assets across 2,177 km² of tenements in the Tumbarumba and
New England regions, both located within historically significant goldfields and mineral provinces.
The Company's flagship asset is the Pilot Project, a high-grade gold target in the Tumbarumba Region with a
history of high-grade underground gold production (~38 g/t Au), which is being advanced through a maiden
diamond drilling programme in collaboration with CODES (Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences,
University of Tasmania). The Blue Prospect tungsten discovery adds a significant critical minerals dimension
to the Company's portfolio.
