Rapid Critical Metals Limited has returned a standout set of silver assays from its 100%-owned Webbs Silver Project in northern New South Wales, headlined by an intercept of 4 metres at 1,230 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 136 metres in hole WSRC0019.

The high-grade interval sits within a broader 37.4-metre intersection grading 278.8 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 126.6 metres. The silver grade in WSRC0019 equates to 981 grams per tonne silver over 4 metres, or 28.6 ounces per ton, which is approximately 25% higher than the 23-ounce-per-ton average grade of ore mined at Webbs between 1884 and 1901.

The latest assay batch covers 20 holes from the ongoing drill program, confirming the known lode while expanding the scale of the Webbs ore body to the south and improving resource classification confidence. A second high-grade intercept in hole WSRC0028 returned 7 metres at 641.8 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 75 metres in the main lode to the north. Meanwhile, hole WSRC0012 extended the mineralised system more than 300 metres south of the current resource, returning 2 metres at 118.0 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 117 metres. Mineralisation remains open in every direction tested.

The spatial distribution of the intercepts supports an evolving geological model in which the deposit operates as a broader mineralised corridor hosting stacked or parallel lodes rather than a single structure.

WSRC0019 is a standout result by any measure - 4m at 1,230 g/t silver equivalent, sitting inside a 37.4m zone averaging 278.8 g/t. Exceptional grade and real width in the same intersection is exactly what we have been drilling for.

Just as important, WSRC0012 has pushed the system more than 300m further south and WSRC0028 has delivered a second exceptional intercept a kilometre to the north. Webbs is behaving like a mineralised corridor rather than a single lode, and it is still open in every direction we test.

With approvals now in hand at Webbs Consol and a third rig joining us within weeks, we are stepping up the pace into the second half of 2026.

Assays for the remaining holes drilled in the current program are still pending, and a third drill rig is scheduled to join the operation shortly to accelerate testing across the corridor.
