Interim Management Report

Dear shareholder,

I am pleased to present the interim report and accounts for the six-month period to 31 October 2023 for Citius Resources Plc.

The Company was pleased to announce during the period that we have entered into a binding Heads of Terms for the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Harena Resources Pty Ltd ("Harena") the 75% owner of the Ampasindava Rare Earths Project in Madagascar (the, "Acquisition"). Harena is an Australian domiciled company preparing to develop the 75% owned Ampasindava Rare Earths Project, which will include the mining and processing of Ionic Clay material to extract Rare Earth elements to produce Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate or Mixed Rare Earth Concentrate.

Harena is what can be described as Reverse Take Over ("RTO") advanced stages therefore the Company is well positioned to complete the Acquisition in this next reporting period which would constitute a RTO under the Listing Rules and accordingly, the company would apply for re-admission of its shares to the Official List and Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

I would like to thank the board and our advisors for their dedication and professionalism in what can only be described as challenging market conditions and we look forward to applying for re-admission and moving the exciting Ampasindava Rare Earths project forward.

Cameron Pearce

Chief Executive Officer
