Solidcore Resources plc ("Solidcore" or the "Company") announces that its ISS STOXX ESG Corporate Rating has been upgraded to "B" from "B-" while the Company has retained "Prime" status, placing it among the industry leaders worldwide.

Solidcore ranked in the top decile of the Mining & Integrated Production industry, with an overall Performance Score of 59 and a "Very High" transparency level, as of 28 August 2026. "Prime" status is granted to companies whose ESG performance meets or exceeds a sector-specific threshold. For industries such as mining, ISS STOXX applies its highest Prime threshold.

"This upgrade reflects the sustained efforts of our senior management and teams across all our operations to embed responsible business practices throughout the Company. Retaining "Prime" status well above the sector threshold is an important independent validation of our sustainability management systems and our commitment to transparency towards investors and other stakeholders", said Michael Vasilev, Head of Sustainability Reporting at Solidcore Resources.

The Company also participates in the S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment (score of 63, placing Solidcore in the top 10% of mining companies worldwide) and CDP disclosure ("B" for Water Security, "B" for Supplier Engagement and "C" for Climate Change).
