Jaguar Partners Program (Parceiros do Jaguar) Centaurus also continued to deliver the Jaguar Partners Program (Parceiros do Jaguar), which provides training and information sessions for local businesses interested in supplying goods and services to the Project. The initiative aims to strengthen local supplier capacity and prepare companies to meet the requirements necessary to participate in the Project’s supply chain. During the year, 63 companies completed the training and received participation certificates. Towards the end of the year, Centaurus delivered a session in the Minerasul Village, where the participants consisted entirely of women, with six local female business owners also in attendance, reflecting the growing role of women in the region’s economic development. The program supports entrepreneurship, strengthens local businesses and promotes inclusive participation in future economic opportunities linked to the Project. Community Initiatives and Programs During 2025, Centaurus implemented a range of community initiatives designed to strengthen transparency, environmental awareness and local participation in the region where the JNP is located. Open Doors (Two Portas Abertas) Programs were delivered in partnership with the Brazilian Mining Institute (IBRAM), providing participants from the Capacita Jaguar training program with greater insight into mining operations and project development. Residents from Tucumã, Ourilândia do Norte and São Félix do Xingu, along with the villages of Minerasul and Ladeira Vermelha, attended technical presentations on the JNP, engaged with environmental, social, safety and project development specialists and participated in guided site visits. The program received 100% participant approval, reinforcing Centaurus’ commitment to transparent engagement with local stakeholders. Centaurus also continued its community recycling initiative, encouraging employees and local residents to collect plastic bottle caps and aluminium can tabs for donation to charitable organisations. By the end of 2025, approximately 130kg of plastic caps and 11.5kg of aluminium tabs had been donated, supporting the provision of essential medical equipment such as wheelchairs and hospital beds. Environmental education activities were also delivered in local schools in the in the Ladeira Vermelha and Minerasul villages in São Félix do Xingu, reaching more than 500 students. Sessions focused on waste segregation and recycling, preservation areas, forest fire prevention, domestic safety and opportunities for women in the mining sector. During the year, Centaurus also launched the Sow to Educate (Semear para Educar) program, establishing two school gardens within the JNP area. Developed in partnership with local schools, municipal authorities and community members, the initiative promotes environmental education, sustainable food production and healthy eating. The gardens provide hands-on learning opportunities covering soil health, plant life cycles and organic waste reuse, while part of the produce contributes to school meals, supporting student nutrition and local food security. 11 CENTAURUS METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 11 CENTAURUS METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT I have worked at the school for many years, and I have seen first-hand the difference the garden has made to our daily life. It has improved the children’s diet, brought more life to the school, and even contributed to improvements in the school’s infrastructure and water supply. It has been a very positive change, not only for the school, but for the whole community. “ †Ivany Dias Moraes (Vanda) – Sow to Educate Program
