Orion Minerals Limited (ASX/JSE: ORN) (Orion or Company) issues this cleansing notice under section
708A(5)(e) in relation to a number of issues of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) completed
today.

Orion refers to its announcements on:

  •   30 September 2025, 2 October 2025 and 3 October 2025, regarding the issue of new Shares via a
      placement of 574 million Shares at an issue price of 1.5 cents per Share (ZAR17 cents) to sophisticated
      and professional investors and, subject to receipt of shareholder approval, Orion Chairman, Denis
      Waddell (Placement); and

  •   8 July 2025, 14 July 2025 and 23 July 2025, regarding the issue of Shares under:
      
      o   a placement of 289 million Shares to sophisticated and professional investors (July Placement); and

      o   agreements to convert outstanding loan amounts owed by Orion to shareholders Ratel Growth and
          (subject to receipt of shareholder approval) Tarney Holdings Pty Ltd (being an entity associated
          with Orion's Chairman Denis Waddell) to equity via the issue of Shares,

      at an issue price (or deemed issue price, as applicable) of 1.1 cents (being ZAR13 cents) per Share, for
      a total aggregate value of ~A$5.8 million (~ZAR67 million).

Orion has also engaged:

  •   South African adviser Webb Street Capital (Pty) Ltd (Webb Street) to provide professional services to
      Orion in South Africa over recent years, including for the recent Placement and the July Placement
      (Webb Street Services). Orion has agreed to issue Shares to Webb Street, in lieu of cash payment for
      the Webb Street Services, at a deemed issue price equal to the price paid by investors under the July
      Placement, in respect of the Webb Street Services provided for the July Placement; and

  •   adviser BPDT & Co. Pty Ltd (BPDT) to provide professional services to Orion (BPDT Services). Orion has
      agreed to issue Shares to BPDT, in lieu of cash payment for the BPDT Services, at a deemed issue price
      of 1.1 cents per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued under the July Placement.

Orion has today issued:

  •   133,333,333 Shares at an issue price of 1.5 cents (being ZAR17 cents) per Share, to raise A$2.0 million,
      following receipt of funds from investors for commitments pursuant to the Placement. The Company has
      secured firm commitments for the balance of the Placement (being A$5.7 million) and these Shares are
      expected to be issued shortly;

  •   44,230,769 Shares (together with the Shares issued under the Placement, the Placement Shares) at an
      issue price of 1.1 cents (being ZAR13 cents) per Share, to raise A$0.5 million, following receipt of funds
      from the remaining investors pursuant to the July Placement, which now finalises the issue of Shares
      under the July Placement;

  •   14,178,323 Shares to Webb Street (Webb Street Shares), in lieu of the remaining cash payment owing to
      Webb Street for the Webb Street Services provided in respect of the July Placement, at a deemed issue
      price of 1.1 cents per Share, being the price paid by investors under the July Placement; and

  •   3,272,726 Shares to BPDT (BPDT Shares), in lieu of cash payment for the BPDT Services, at a deemed issue
      price of 1.1 cents per Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued under the Placement.

The issue of the Placement Shares, 454,457 of the Webb Street Shares and the BPDT Shares falls within Orion's
15% capacity for issues of equity securities without shareholder approval afforded by ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The
issue of the remaining Webb Street Shares was approved by shareholders at the general meeting held on 28
August 2025. Together, the Placement Shares, Webb Street Shares and the BPDT Shares are the Relevant
Shares.
