      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt; line-height: 1.25;">Eltek Ltd. (&#8220;Eltek&#8221;, &#8220;we&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;) has evaluated its current product lines and determined that certain products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain tin,
        tungsten, tantalum, or gold, which are defined as &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221; by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Accordingly, Eltek is filing this disclosure along
        with a Conflict Minerals Report to disclose the measures we have taken to determine the origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products.</div>
      <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">

      <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt; line-height: 1.25;">We undertook due diligence measures, including surveying our direct suppliers via an industry-standard survey template for Conflict Minerals to try to determine the sources of
        these minerals, which we purchase through a complex supply chain.</div>
      <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt; line-height: 1.25;">Currently, we do not have sufficient information from our suppliers or other sources to determine the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products or
        identify the facilities used to process those Conflict Minerals. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and are not from
        recycled or scrap sources.</div>

    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 1.25;">This is the Conflict Minerals Report for Eltek Ltd. (&#8220;Eltek&#8221;, &#8220;we&#8221; or &#8220;our&#8221;), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;) under
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. The Rule was adopted by the SEC to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to Conflict Minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall
      Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.
      &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221; are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold ("3TG") for the purposes of this assessment.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 1.25;">If a registrant can establish that the Conflict Minerals in its products originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country
      ("Covered Countries"), or from recycled and scrap sources, the registrant must submit a specialized disclosure report under Form SD that describes the steps that the registrant took to determine the origin of the Conflict Minerals in its products.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 1.25;">If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the 3TG minerals in its supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries, or if the registrant is unable to determine the
      country of origin of those 3TG minerals, then the registrant must exercise due diligence on the 3TG minerals&#8217; source and chain of custody, and the registrant must annually submit a Conflict Minerals Report to the SEC that includes a description of
      those due diligence measures.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 1.25;">As permitted by the Rule and the SEC, this report has not been subject to an independent&#160;private sector&#160;audit.</div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 1.25;">For the year ended December 31, 2024, we conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) to determine whether any of the necessary 3TG minerals originated, or likely
      originated in the DRC or Covered Countries, or did not originate entirely from recycled or scrap sources and found that the 3TG minerals can be found in our products and are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.&#160;Therefore,
      we are subject to the reporting obligations of the Rule.</div>

      refining of 3TG minerals and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the original sources of 3TG minerals and the ultimate manufacture of our products. Therefore, tracing these minerals to their sources is a challenge that requires
      us to rely on direct suppliers in our efforts to achieve supply chain transparency, including obtaining information regarding the origin of the 3TG minerals. Using our supply chain due diligence processes, we work to develop transparency into our
      supply chain by continuing our outreach efforts. This work is not intended to eliminate sourcing from the DRC or Covered Countries, but to engage in the responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals, where possible.</div>

      reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary Conflict Minerals, since the information comes from direct and secondary suppliers. Further, the information gathered from our suppliers is not obtained on
      a continuous, real-time basis. Based on the results of our due diligence thus far, we believe it is likely that years of engagement and communication of expectations through many tiers of the supply chain will be necessary before information returned

      our ability to implement improvements in our Conflict Minerals program and our ability to identify and mitigate related risks in our supply chain. If one or more of these or other risks materialize, actual results may vary materially from those
