Item

3.01: Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Extension

of Time to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)

On September 1, 2026, Gulf Resources

(the “Company”) received a written notice from Nasdaq (the “Extension Letter”) granting the Company an additional

exception to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). On September 2, 2026, the Company received

a further notice from Nasdaq confirming that the Company was no longer delinquent with respect to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

March 31, 2026, but remained non-compliant with the Rule because it had not filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

June 30, 2026 (the “June 30th Form 10-Q”).

As previously

reported in the current report on Form 8-K filed on August 28, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company, the Company

announced that it received delinquency notification from Nasdaq on August 24, 2026 (the “Deficiency Letter”), due to the

Company’s non-compliance with the Rule as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file the June 30th Form

10-Q. As of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company remains delinquent in filing the June 30th Form 10-Q.

The

Company submitted an updated plan to the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualification (the “Staff”) to regain compliance (the

“Updated Compliance Plan”) with the Rule on August 28, 2026. Under the Extension Letter, the Company is required to file

its delinquent June 30th Form 10-Q by the applicable extended deadline to evidence compliance with the relevant Nasdaq requirements.

The Extension Letter further provides that if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing the delinquent June 30th

Form 10-Q, Staff will notify the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s

determination to a hearings panel.

The

previously received Deficiency Letter and the Extension Letter have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s

common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other applicable listing requirements.

The

Company is committed to taking the actions set forth in the Updated Compliance Plan and intends to use all reasonable efforts to regain

compliance with the initiatives and conditions set forth in the Updated Compliance Plan within the plan period. However, there is no

assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Nasdaq requirements within the planned period.

Cautionary

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This

Current Report on Form 8-K includes information that constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “anticipate”,

“estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”,

“may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “likely” and similar

expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current

beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to the Company.

By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause

actual events and results to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward- looking statements. These factors

include, without limitation, the Company’s ability to respond in a timely and satisfactory manner to the inquiries by Nasdaq, the

Company’s ability to become current with its reports with the SEC, and the risk that the completion and filing of the June 30th

Form 10-Q will take longer than expected. For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the risk

factors contained in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s other subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company

undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events

or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.
