PYX CARES Update

Committed to Supporting Local Schools in Kalimantan   

PYX Resources (NSX: PYX | LSE: PYX), the world's third largest publicly listed zircon producer by zircon resources¹, is pleased to provide an update on its Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") initiative, PYX CARES, which in July, held a Back-to-School event at the SD Tumbang Lampahung School in Jl Ngantun, Desa, to mark the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic year.

PYX CARES aims to empower local communities, protect the environment, promote diversity, and make sure employees and the people of Central Kalimantan in Indonesia fully participate in PYX's long-term success.

Education, health, and wellbeing of young people in the communities near PYX's projects are key focuses of the PYX CARES initiative. In line with this commitment, and for the third consecutive year SD Tumbang Lampahung School, which serves over 100 students aged 6-12 was selected as the beneficiary of the initiative. Hosted by Headmaster Ibu Friskilae and attended by several senior PYX team members, the event saw the distribution of essential supplies to the school and its students. These supplies included school bags, stationery, coloring equipment, shoes, sandals, and packages containing healthy snacks, milk, and juice.

Following the event, Mining Manager Agusta Kurniawan commented: "PYX takes great pride in nurturing the academic journey of young people in the areas surrounding our operations and I am pleased that this scheme continues to develop. We believe that supporting the education of young learners is vital for the growth and development of our community."

PYX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Oliver B. Hassler added: "I am immensely proud to see the PYX CARES Back-to-School programme enter its third year. Supporting children through these crucial developmental years has always been a personal passion of mine. I remain deeply committed to the PYX CARES initiatives and eagerly anticipate our next project to support the communities near our operations."
