In FY26 our team of 3,049 employees and contractors delivered record production of 387,354 ounces of gold. Our operations comprise four core processing hubs, with combined processing capacity of ~6Mtpa, and a footprint spanning some 2,500km2 across the Murchison and Southern Goldfields, two of Western Australia’s most prolific gold-producing regions. Our ongoing investment in resource definition and exploration drilling across this expansive portfolio, has seen our mineral inventory grow year-on-year for the past three years. Today, Westgold’s Ore Reserves of more than 4 million ounces of gold equates to ~10 years of production – a horizon we are committed to extending further. We have a clear opportunity to realise the potential of this endowment, leveraging assets we already own to grow our gold production and the value we create. How we plan to do this is articulated in our 3-Year Outlook. This multi-year strategy sets out our disciplined approach to investing in our existing mines and mills, to deliver the greatest returns for our shareholders, with the lowest execution risk. Importantly, with a healthy balance sheet and our portfolio of profitable producing mines driving exceptional cash flows, we have the financial flexibility to self-fund organic growth opportunities. OVERVIEW ABOUT WESTGOLD “ As we grow, we are committed to operating safely, responsibly and profitably – for the benefit of all our stakeholders today – and for many years to come. CHOOSE SAFETY ⟩ Think safety and act safely ⟩ Look out for each other ⟩ Protect our environment OUR CORE VALUES Our values and behaviours guide how we work with each other, our communities, and stakeholders. They influence our actions and decisions, hold us accountable and ultimately determine our success. OUR VISION AND PURPOSE Westgold’s vision is to become the leading Australian gold company – sustaining safe, responsible and profitable production. We have a clear purpose to unearth enduring value – for our stakeholders, shareholders, people and the communities we operate in. SHOW RESPECT ⟩ Appreciate everyone for who they are and what they contribute ⟩ Enable everyone to do a great job ⟩ Grow strong teams and communities DELIVER VALUE ⟩ Plan to succeed as a team ⟩ Execute with excellence ⟩ Rise to the challenge and keep on improving 3 ANNUAL REPORT 2026 OUR VALUE CHAIN At Westgold, we create value by discovering, developing, mining and processing gold deposits hosted across our extensive landholding in Western Australia, to produce unrefined gold doré bars which we sell to a domestic refinery. Our core business is enabled through the endeavour of our team – leveraging our asset portfolio and financial resources, and our relationships with our host communities, Traditional Custodians and our supplier network. We protect and enhance our core business – with a focus on safety, environmental stewardship, governance and risk management. Through these core and support functions, we generate returns for our shareholders, provide employment and career opportunities for our people, and support local businesses and suppliers. We also support community initiatives through local partnerships and investment, to deliver lasting benefits beyond the life of our operations. We create economic activity and jobs in regional communities - and the royalties and various taxes we pay contribute to the local, State and national economies and help fund public services for all Australians. OUR STRATEGY In October 2025 we outlined our first Three-Year Outlook (3YO), providing a clear multi-year pathway to grow production, increase cash generation and create long-term shareholder value. During FY26 we delivered strong progress against this strategy and, subsequent to year end, updated the 3YO to reflect operational progress, portfolio optimisation and expanded growth opportunities across our Murchison and Southern Goldfields operations. Our updated 3YO presents a fully funded organic growth plan to increase Group gold production from 385–425koz in FY27 to 460–510koz in FY29 while improving mill utilisation and reducing AISC. ABOUT WESTGOLD (CONTINUED) OVERVIEW 4 WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED VALUE PROTECT REPORT 2026 OVERVIEW LETTER FROM THE CHAIR A year of solid performance to plan – and disciplined investment in growth Dear Shareholders FY26 was a year defined by sound strategy – and the discipline to execute it. For the first time in Westgold’s history we set out a clear, credible, multi-year operating strategy. We told our shareholders and the market what we would do, and through focused execution, did what we said we would. We grew annual gold production by almost 20% compared to FY25 (326,384oz), exceeding the top end of our guidance with a record 387,354 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $2,841 per ounce, within our guided cost range. We also grew in profile, promoted from the ASX 200 to the ASX 100. Consistent quarter-on-quarter production and cash generation lifted our treasury by $575 million to $939 million in cash, bullion and liquid investments at year end. We enter the new year debt free and 100% unhedged, offering our shareholders full exposure to strong gold prices. This balance sheet strength is the foundation of a clear and considered strategy to self-fund growth from the organic opportunities within our portfolio – leveraging assets and processing infrastructure we already own to unlock value. We are investing shareholders’ capital prudently and selectively today – putting infrastructure in place ahead of new mining fronts across the Murchison and Southern Goldfields, and optimising milling capacity in time for higher mining rates to come. Across the Murchison, we invested in core infrastructure as enablers of growth – including the paste plant and ventilation that allowed South Junction to ramp up as a second mining front at Meekatharra, taking Bluebird-South Junction to a record 1Mtpa exit rate at year end. We recommenced high-grade reef mining at the iconic Great Fingall and brought our open pit program forward three months to add ore-feed flexibility. Both Meekatharra and Fortnum delivered record annual production under Westgold ownership – with ore stockpiles in front of every mill providing blending optionality, and supporting consistent, reliable gold production. In the Southern Goldfields, Beta Hunt continues to advance as capital investment in key mine infrastructure starts to deliver higher productivity and mine outputs. With mine outputs pushing through 1.7Mtpa run rates our Board had approved expanding the Higginsville plant from 1.6Mtpa to 2.6Mtpa. However, subsequent to year end, on the back of our team’s continued exploration success at Beta Hunt – we are reframing this study to engineer a capital-efficient investment that will support processing of up to 4Mtpa, in a single phase upgrade or a new plant site. In the two years since Westgold acquired Beta Hunt, we have rapidly and materially expanded its mineral inventory – from 2.6Moz to 5.4Moz, and at the time of this report, had announced a 1.1Moz maiden Ore Reserve for the Fletcher Zone – reinforcing its potential as an emerging third mining front within this historic mine. We have only just begun to show our shareholders the scale of Beta Hunt’s mineral endowment, with ongoing drilling in the Fletcher and Mason Zones likely to underpin another significant lift in mine outputs. 6 WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED We enter FY27 debt free and 100% unhedged. “ We enter FY27 with a portfolio of long-life mines with growing mine production and ore stockpiles in front of every mill. This is a major milestone for Westgold and sees the business transitioning capital allocation into mill expansions from FY27 onwards. This is consistent with our focus on a simplified portfolio producing higher returns to our shareholders – having spun off our Reedy and Comet assets into the newly-listed Valiant Gold (ASX: VAL) during the year, while retaining a material shareholding, and divesting non-core assets including Mt Henry–Selene, Peak Hill and Chalice. This refocus brought forward more than $200 million in value while preserving shareholders’ exposure to the future upside of non-producing assets not included in our planning horizon. While investing $383 million in our future growth and exploration, we also delivered value in the present – continuing our on-market share buyback and, subsequent to year end, rewarding shareholders with a record final dividend of 10 cents per share for FY26. Through this period of growth and change, the safety and wellbeing of our people remained our priority. We set a higher incident-reporting bar, which as we transition, is reflected in the short term as a weaker safety result – this is a timing issue not a relaxation in our commitment to safety and the new year will show improvement in this business critical area. You will note we have combined our annual report and Climate report this year. Sustainability is central to our strategic planning and daily operations, and our combined reporting reflects that. During the year we continued to strengthen our sustainability and risk management foundations. We refreshed our materiality assessment, developed our three- year environmental, social and governance (ESG) Strategic Plan – ‘More than Gold’ – and published our inaugural AASB S2 climate-related financial disclosures. In short, FY26 was a year of solid performance against a sound plan, and of disciplined investment in growth – rewarding shareholders today while building materially greater value for the years ahead. I thank all our stakeholders for the support that made this record year possible – and, in particular, our employees and contractors, whose energy and commitment through rapid change drives Westgold towards our vision of building the leading Australian gold company. We are excited to continue this journey with you. Finally, I would also like to acknowledge and thank Mr Gary Davison and Mr Julius Matthys, who retired from the Board on 30 June 2026 – for their dedicated service, wise counsel and significant contribution to Westgold’s growth and success over many years.

The introduction of the program reflected our confidence in the outlook for the business and formed part of our broader approach to capital management. Approximately $27 million was invested in on-market share buy-backs during FY26. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, on 28 August 2026, we announced a new Shareholder Capital Return Policy to continue supporting shareholder returns, including a $50 million on-market Share Buy-Back program for FY27. PORTFOLIO OPTIMISATION AND NON-CORE ASSET DIVESTMENTS FY26 marked significant progress in our portfolio optimisation strategy. As part of this work, we completed a series of transactions to divest and bring forward value from non-core, non-operating assets that did not feature in our forward production plans. These transactions unlocked approximately $200 million in shareholder value while retaining meaningful exposure to future exploration and development success through strategic shareholdings, deferred consideration arrangements and production royalties. VALIANT GOLD (ASX: VAL) SPIN-OUT A key part of this program was the spin out of the Reedy and Comet projects into a new standalone company into Valiant Gold Limited (ASX: VAL) in March this year. Valiant’s IPO, which included a $20 million priority offer for eligible Westgold shareholders, was significantly oversubscribed, raising $75 million before costs. We retained a substantial shareholding (44%) in Valiant, maintaining exposure to future exploration, development and production success while enabling a focused and well-funded team to advance assets that sat outside our forward production plans at the time. DIVESTMENT OF NON-CORE ASSETS We also completed the sale of three non-core gold projects during the year. At Mt Henry-Selene, we realised value of approximately $110 million at completion through cash, a 19.9% shareholding in Alicanto Minerals (since rebranded to Sinclair Gold Limited ASX:SGC) and up to $30 million in milestone-based deferred consideration. At the time of writing, the receipt of the first $5 million deferred payment for the completion of 20,000m of drilling at the Mt Henry Project was expected in mid September 2026. At Peak Hill, we received consideration valued at $54.4 million through cash and a 19.9% shareholding in Great Boulder Resources (ASX: KBR) and retained a 1.0% Net Smelter Return royalty over future production. At Chalice, we received upfront consideration of $12.6 million through cash and a 19.9% shareholding in Corazon Mining (ASX: CZN), together with a further $11 million in deferred milestone payments. Together, these transactions simplified our portfolio and sharpened our focus on the larger- scale mining and processing hubs that underpin our growth strategy. They also placed these projects with owners able to dedicate capital, management attention and technical resources to advancing their next phase of growth. 12 WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED BALANCE SHEET FLEXIBILITY In March 2026, we established a new $600 million unsecured syndicated revolving debt facility, replacing our previous financing arrangements (the Facility). The Facility comprises three tranches maturing between 2029 and 2031 and is supported by a syndicate of five Australian and international lenders. Entering FY27, the Facility remained undrawn. Together with our treasury position, it provides $1.5 billion in available financial capacity and supports our ability to continue self- funding our organic growth strategy. The Facility was negotiated at a time of considerable financial strength and in a supportive gold price environment. It is unsecured and does not require mandatory hedging, amortisation payments or cash sweep arrangements, giving us greater flexibility in how we allocate capital and manage the business. WESTGOLD VILLAGE – A STRATEGIC ACQUISITION During Q4 we completed the acquisition of the 327-room Bluebush Accommodation Village in Kambalda for $22M, since rebranded Westgold Village. The investment consolidates our Kambalda workforce, simplifies ground logistics, reduces reliance on third- party providers and secures long- term accommodation capacity for our expanding Southern Goldfields operations. 13 ANNUAL REPORT 2026 14 WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED OUR OPERATIONS REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FY26 was a defining year for Westgold, with record production, strong operational performance and significant progress across our growth pipeline. We produced a record 387,354 ounces of gold during the year, exceeding the upper end of our production guidance range and delivering costs within guided expectations. This outcome reflects the benefits of a larger production base, improved operating consistency and sustained investment in our assets. The year marked our first full financial year operating as an integrated business following the acquisition of Karora Resources, with both the Murchison and Southern Goldfields operations making strong contributions. Across the portfolio, we focused on increasing mine productivity, advancing development activities and improving operational flexibility through targeted investment in fleet, infrastructure and processing capacity. FY26 also saw us refine our asset portfolio and sharpen our strategic focus. Through our Three-Year Outlook (3YO) first released in October 2025 and subsequently updated following year end, we articulated a clear operating strategy centred on optimising the performance of our core operating hubs while investing in the projects and infrastructure required to support future growth. This included advancing key growth initiatives across the Murchison and Southern Goldfields, while divesting non- core and non-operating assets that did not feature in our forward production plans. At the operation level, we continued to strengthen the foundations for long-term growth. Mine development rates increased, key infrastructure projects progressed and exploration success supported the extension of mine lives and future production opportunities. We also advanced a number of strategic growth initiatives designed to increase mining flexibility, unlock future ore sources and support higher production rates across the portfolio. Our development and growth programs remained a key focus during FY26. We invested $383 million across growth, development and exploration activities, including projects designed to expand mining fronts, increase processing capacity and enhance operational resilience. These investments position the business to deliver sustainable growth while maintaining flexibility and optionality across our operating centres. The strength of our operations, combined with a favourable gold price environment, translated into record financial performance, strong cash generation and a significantly strengthened balance sheet. The business generated operating cash flow of $964 million during the year, providing the capacity to fund growth initiatives, optimise the portfolio and return capital to shareholders while finishing FY26 debt free and fully unhedged. As we enter FY27, our focus remains on safely delivering consistent operational performance, progressing key growth projects and continuing to optimise our core operating hubs. With a strengthened asset portfolio, a clear operating strategy and a pipeline of high-quality growth opportunities, we are well positioned to achieve our growth plans, delivering 500,000ozpa by FY29 while maintaining increasing shareholder returns. 15 ANNUAL REPORT 2026 QUEENSLAND PORT HEDLAND MARBLE BAR WESTERN AUSTRALIA PERTH OFFICE KALGOORLIE ESPERANCE MEEKATHARRA PORT HEDLAND MARBLE BAR NEWMAN ALBANY MURCHISON SOUTHERN GOLDFIELDS Current UG Mine Gold Processing Plant LEGEND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) OUR OPERATIONS 16 WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED OUR OPERATIONS Westgold operates a diverse portfolio of gold operations in Western Australia - a global Tier- 1 mining jurisdiction known for its geological endowment, stable regulatory framework and world-class mining infrastructure. OVERVIEW Westgold’s operations span some 2,500km² across the Murchison and Southern Goldfields – two of Australia's most prolific gold-producing regions. Our operations are centred around four processing hubs with combined processing capacity of ~ 6Mtpa, and underpinned by long-life mines. With 4.1 million ounces of Ore Reserves, a substantial growth pipeline and a strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to achieve the organic growth opportunity outlined in our multi-year outlook. OUR OPERATIONS REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) 17 ANNUAL REPORT 2026 FY26 PERFORMANCE Fortnum capped off a stellar year, producing a record 72koz of gold – its best annual result under Westgold ownership. The result was driven by consistently strong grades from the Starlight underground mine, particularly from the Nightfall lodes, with milled grade lifting to 2.6g/t for the year and recovery averaging 95%. Starlight delivered 876kt at 2.8g/t for 77,639oz of contained gold, with mining rates improving through the year as investment in the load and haul fleet and ventilation systems flowed through to higher productivity. Quarterly performance reflected stope sequencing rather than any change in the underlying orebody, with an exceptional Q2 followed by a return to normalised grades in Q3 and a strong finish in Q4. MURCHISON OPERATIONS Our Murchison operations in Western Australia comprise three processing hubs (Fortnum, Meekatharra and Cue) with a combined installed capacity of ~4.1Mtpa, five underground mines (Starlight, Bluebird–South Junction, Big Bell, Great Fingall and Fender), a newly established open pit program, and ore purchased from a third party under an ore purchase agreement. In FY26 our Murchison operations delivered 272,302oz of gold at an AISC of $2,629/oz, representing 70% of Group production and generating $846M in mine operating cashflow and $577M in net mine cashflow. It was a year of step-change for the region. Bluebird–South Junction reached a 1Mtpa annualised mining rate in June, ventilation upgrades at Big Bell unlocked latent mining capacity from the sub-level cave; Great Fingall progressed from mining lower-grade near-surface material, to virgin stopes in the Great Fingall reef and the Golden Crown orebody; and the Murchison Open Pit Programme commenced a full quarter ahead of schedule. Both the Meekatharra and Fortnum hubs delivered record annual gold production under Westgold ownership. We also simplified the portfolio. The Reedy’s and Comet assets were demerged into ASX-listed Valiant Gold in March 2026, and the Peak Hill Gold Project was divested to Great Boulder Resources in Q4, completing our non-core divestment program in the region while retaining exposure through strategic equity holdings. FORTNUM HUB The Fortnum Hub is located approximately 140km north of Meekatharra and encompasses the 0.9Mtpa Fortnum processing plant and the Fortnum and Horseshoe mining areas. The Starlight underground mine remains the predominant feed source, supplemented by surface stockpiles.

The Murchison’s Growth Engine Bluebird South Junction continues to build scale and processing flexibility. 19 ANNUAL REPORT 2026 MEEKATHARRA HUB The Meekatharra operations are located around the regional town of Meekatharra and include the historic gold mining centres of Meekatharra North, Paddy’s Flat, Yaloginda and Nannine. The hub incorporates the 1.8Mtpa Bluebird processing plant, the Bluebird–South Junction underground mine, a +500-person village and associated mining infrastructure. Bluebird–South Junction is the key growth driver of the Murchison. The larger stopes in the South Junction zone are materially more productive than the smaller, higher-grade Bluebird stopes, driving mining costs per tonne down while maintaining a consistent grade profile. The adjacent Polar Star zone provides the potential for a third mining front, with extensional and resource definition drilling underway. FY26 PERFORMANCE The Meekatharra hub produced a record 133koz of gold in FY26, processing 1,878kt at 2.4g/t. The result was underpinned by the continued ramp-up of Bluebird– South Junction, the progressive displacement of lower-grade stockpile feed, and the introduction of softer, higher-grade oxide ore purchased from the Crown Prince open pit through an ore purchase agreement. Bluebird–South Junction delivered 730kt at 2.7g/t for 62,332oz of contained gold, with mined tonnes increasing in every quarter of the year. Two key milestones were achieved early in the year – commissioning of the paste fill plant and completion of the first paste pour ahead of schedule, and the finalisation of an updated hybrid level access design that allows the productivity benefits of transverse mining while managing the ground conditions that had previously constrained the ramp-up. Development rates responded strongly, with jumbos consistently achieving over 280 development metres per month, and in June the mine achieved a milestone annualised mining rate of over 1Mtpa, mining 84kt of ore. Ore purchased from New Murchison Gold under the ore purchase agreement provided valuable mill feed flexibility during the year, with 529kt at 3.4g/t processed for 55,862oz of gold production. The softer oxide material allowed the Meekatharra plant to run at rates well above historical averages – exceeding a 2Mtpa run rate at times – unlocking capacity to process additional third-party ore alon
