June 22, 2023 Vancouver, British Columbia – Eastern Platinum Limited (“Eastplats” or the

employees of the Company that vest in 90 days. The options were granted for a term of five years

Eastplats at an exercise price of CDN$0.10.

The Company further announces that it is filing an Amended Management’s Discussion and
Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to reflect the following change:

Page 10 of the MD&A has been updated to correct “Total Tailings Feed (Tons)” for Q1 2023,
which has been revised from 432,005 to 631,954 as the original number excluded 199,949 tons
processed in March of 2023. No other changes were made to the MD&A and the first quarter
financial statements were not impacted.

The previously filed MD&A was originally filed by the Company on SEDAR on May 12, 2023. This
restated MD&A replaces and supersedes the previously filed MD&A and has been filed on
SEDAR and also on the Company’s website at www.eastplats.com/investors/.
