Operational Update
12 June 2025 Vast Resources plc('Vast' or the 'Company') Operational Update Vast Resources plc, the AIM quoted mining company, is pleased to announce that it has established a group technical services function including the input of experienced mining engineers, geologists and operations management which will be tasked with undertaking a review of Vast's existing asset base. The focus will be to establish a sustainable operational plan that will subsequently support ongoing technical studies aimed at unlocking the potential of the current asset base as well as assessing new potential opportunities in Romania, Tajikistan and Zimbabwe. Overview Very encouraging initial indications of diamond quality following preliminary cleaning of a representative of parcel of stones. Initial diamond sales, by way of public or private tender in Dubai, are expected to commence in the coming weeks. Comprehensive technical review of the Romanian assets focussing on the Baita Plai Mine in Romania in Q3 2025 with the objective of establishing the optimal mining strategy. This plan will likely include the development a new drilling programme and mine plan designed to grow and increase the confidence of the current JORC Resource and Reserve base. The technical review will also consider the opportunity to restart activities at the Manaila-Carlibaba Copper Mine in Romania during H2 2025. Andrew Prelea, CEO of Vast, commented:'Our recent success with the return of the Historic Parcel of diamonds has sparked a comprehensive review of our asset portfolio and our strategy for becoming a mid-tier production company. Our Romanian assets, specifically Baita Plai and Manaila-Carlibaba, hold significant value for the Company. We are now working towards realising the potential of these assets through a comprehensive and diligent technical assessment of these assets, including the development of a sustainable mining plan at Baita Plai, and the opportunity of restarting mining activities at Manaila-Carlibaba. I look forward to providing updates on these processes in the coming months, along with news on the expected diamond sales in the coming weeks.' Further Information Update on Diamond ConsignmentThe Company is now undertaking initial cleaning of a representative selection of parcels of stones from the Diamond Consignment, with initial indications of quality, interpreted by industry specialists using industry standard inspections, being very encouraging and supportive of the Company's current sales and marketing strategy which involves primary beneficiation, and a phased sale of stones to maximise revenues. Vast expects that initial diamond sales, by way of public or private tender in Dubai, will commence in a matter of weeks, and further updates on this process will be provided in due course. Romanian OperationsOne of the Company's immediate priorities is to overhaul operations at Baita Plai by undertaking a comprehensive review of the geology of the project and the mining strategy. This will include the generation of a new mine plan, supported if necessary, by a drilling programme to further inform the mining studies. To ensure that there is an optimal outcome from this review it has been deemed prudent to undertake a temporary suspension of operations, currently expected to last for up to three months. Vast's decision to commence this work is underpinned by its confidence in its ability to realise significant value from the sale of the diamonds recently returned to the Company by way of Settlement Deed. The Company also notes that this review will also include reviewing the existing plan to restart activities at its Manaila-Carlibaba project in Romania during the second half of 2025 and is in ongoing associating discussions with potential offtake partners. **ENDS** For further information, please visit the Company's website at or contact: Vast Resources plcAndrew Prelea (CEO) +44 (0) 20 7846 0974 Strand Hanson Limited – Nominated & Financial AdviserJames Spinney / James Bellman +44 (0) 207 409 3494 Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited – Joint BrokerToby Gibbs / James Thomas (Corporate Advisory) +44 (0) 20 7408 4050 Axis Capital Markets Limited – Joint BrokerRichard Hutchinson +44 (0) 20 3206 0320 St Brides Partners LimitedSusie Geliher (0) 20 7236 1177 ABOUT VAST RESOURCES Vast Resources plc is a United Kingdom AIM quoted mining company with mines and projects in Romania, Tajikistan, and Zimbabwe.
