IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Prospectus is dated 11 May 2026 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC, ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

No Securities may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.

It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative.

Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.

This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.

No Investment Advice

The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice or investment advice and does not take into account your financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.

Forward-looking statements

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as 'may', 'could', 'believes', 'estimates', 'targets', 'expects', or 'intends' and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.

These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.

Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and

unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company's management.

The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5.

Overseas shareholders

The Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.10.

Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Securities.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making

5573-06/8781395_19


that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.

Target Market Determination

In accordance with the design and distribution obligations under the Corporations Act, the Company has determined the target market for the offer of New Options issued under the Entitlement Offer set out in this Prospectus. The Company and the Lead Manager will only distribute this Prospectus to those investors who fall within the target market determination (TMD) as set out on the Company's website (acdcmetals.com.au).

Electronic Prospectus

A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the website of the Company at https://acdcmetals.com.au. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian or New Zealand resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia or New Zealand.

The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing on to another person an Application Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus. You may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company by phone on +61 3 8548 7880 during office hours or by emailing the Company at [email protected].

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

Company Website

No documents or other information available on the Company's website is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference.

Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead,

investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The statement will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

Photographs and Diagrams

Photographs used in this Prospectus which do not have descriptions are for illustration only and should not be interpreted to mean that any person shown endorses the Prospectus or its contents or that the assets shown in them are owned by the Company. Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale.

Definitions and Time

Unless the contrary intention appears or the context otherwise requires, words and phrases contained in this Prospectus have the same meaning and interpretation as given in the Corporations Act and capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Glossary in Section 8.

The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder and to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, including bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. If you wish to do so, please contact the share registry at the relevant contact number set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

  2. Comprising:
    (a) 3,928,230 Shares indirectly held by Mark Stephen Saxon & Paula Saxon ; and
    (b) 100,000 Shares indirectly held by Sierra Peru Pty Ltd.

  5. 500,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.12 each on or before 4 December 2027 indirectly held by Badgeworth KBE Pty Ltd .

The Board recommends all Shareholders take up their Entitlements. The Directors reserve the right to take up their respective Entitlement in whole or in part at their discretion.

1.6 Details of Substantial Holders

Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons who (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:

SHAREHOLDER SHARES %
Thomas John Burrowes 7,796,991 8.32%
Michael Robert Hudson 6,518,139 6.96%

In the event all Entitlements are accepted, there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Offers.

1.7 Lead Manager

Cygnet has been appointed as the lead manager and book runner to the Entitlement Offer and the Placement. Terms of the Lead Manager Mandate and total fees payable are set out in Section 6.4.1 below.

1.8 Effect on Control

Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Entitlement Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.

Further, as set out in Section 2.7, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation in the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Shares on issue on completion of the Entitlement Offer.


Further there will be no change to any Shareholder's voting power as a result of the issue of the New Options. Where New Options are exercised into Shares, the voting power of the Shareholders who exercise the New Options will increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the price of Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.

1.9 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders

In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.8, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).

No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However, subsequent exercise of any or all of New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offers, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 40% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).

For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:

HOLDER HOLDING AS AT RECORD DATE % AT RECORD DATE ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER HOLDINGS IF ENTITLEMENT OFFER NOT TAKEN UP % POST ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Shareholder 1 10,000,000 10.68% 3,333,333 10,000,000 8.01%
Shareholder 2 5,000,000 5.34% 1,666,667 5,000,000 4.00%
Shareholder 3 1,500,000 1.60% 500,000 1,500,000 1.20%
Shareholder 4 400,000 0.43% 133,333 400,000 0.32%
Shareholder 5 50,000 0.05% 16,667 50,000 0.04%

Notes:

  1. This is based on a share capital of 93,660,755 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue are exercised, and no other Shares are issued (including upon exercise of any New Options or Performance Rights).
  2. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

As set out in Section 2.4, if you pay by BPAY or EFT, you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Section 2.4 and Section 2.5
Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse If you do not wish to accept any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Entitlement Offer to you will lapse. N/A

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

2.4 Payment options

(a) By BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and

(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.

You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00pm (AEST) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.

Guidance where you have more than one CRN (Shareholding of Shares)

If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).

(b) By Electronic Funds Transfer (overseas applicants)

For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via EFT if you are the holder of an account that supports EFT transactions to an Australian bank account. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:

(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and

(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.

(c) By Cheque

Payment by cheque or cash will not be accepted.

2.5 Implications of an acceptance

Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application monies by BPAY® or EFT will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:

(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;

8


(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® or EFT payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.

2.6 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription in respect of the Entitlement Offer.

2.7 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall Offer (Shortfall Securities). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.05, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Entitlement Offer.

If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement, you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer.

Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Section 2.4.

The Board presently intends to allocate Shortfall Securities as follows:

(a) first, to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement, so long as the issue of Shortfall Securities to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.9%; and then
(b) second, to other parties identified by the Directors or Lead Manager, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.

No Shares will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party's voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.9%.

The Company reserves the right to issue an Eligible Shareholder a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than applied for or no Shortfall Securities at all. However, the Directors do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Securities from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act. If the number of Shortfall Securities applied for by Eligible Shareholders exceeds the total Shortfall, the Shortfall Securities will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders proportionate to their existing holdings.

All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer; as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Securities applied for will be issued to Eligible Shareholders.

The Company will have no liability to any applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back any applications for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer any Application monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.

2.8 ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

5573-06/8781395_19


Application for Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus is also intended to be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any of the Securities offered under this Prospectus and all application monies will be returned.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.

2.9 Issue of Securities

Securities issued pursuant to the Offers will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.

Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.

Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each applicant waives the right to claim interest.

Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offers will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

2.10 Overseas shareholders

The Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

Nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

3. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFERS

3.1 Purpose of the Offers

The purpose of the Entitlement Offer is to raise up to $1,561,013 before costs.

The funds raised from the Offers are intended to be applied in accordance with the table set out below:

5573-06/8781395_19

Notes:
1. Refer to Section 6.8 for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Offers.

On completion of the Offers, the Board believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives. In the event the Entitlement Offer is not fully subscribed, operational objectives are likely to be modified, which may result in delay or substantial changes to the Company's future plans. In this event (and after accounting for associated costs of the Offers) it is likely that the Company will appropriately scale back funds available for the new project (Item 2) and working capital (Item 3).

In addition, it should be noted that the Company's budgets and forecasts will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results achieved from its business activities and operations.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

3.2 Effect of the Offers

The principal effect of the Offers, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Shares are issued including on exercise or conversion of other Securities on issue prior to the Record Date, will be to:

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. The Company's Constitution permits the use of technology at general meetings of Shareholders (including wholly virtual meetings) to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and applicable law.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by them, or in respect of which they are appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any Shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law


be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as the liquidator considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributors as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h) Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of Constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days' written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

4.2 Terms of New Options

(a) Entitlement

Each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) Share upon exercise of the New Option.

5573-06/8781395_19
15


(b) Exercise Price

Subject to paragraph (i), the amount payable upon exercise of each New Option will be $0.075 (Exercise Price).

(c) Expiry Date

Each New Option will expire at 5:00 pm (AEST) on the date that is 24 months from the date of issue (Expiry Date). A New Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.

(d) Exercise Period

The New Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date (Exercise Period).

(e) Notice of Exercise

The New Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the New Option certificate (Notice of Exercise) and payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.

(f) Exercise Date

A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in cleared funds (Exercise Date).

(g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise

Within 5 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of New Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;

(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options.

If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

(h) Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with the then issued Shares of the Company.

(i) Reconstruction of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

5573-06/8781395_19
16


(j) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options without exercising the New Options.

(k) Change in exercise price

A New Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.

(l) Transferability

The New Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.

The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.

The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company's business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.

The risk factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities. This Section 5 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 5 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.

If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.

5.2 Company specific

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Potential for dilution In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.8, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 25% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).

No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However, subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Entitlement Offer are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 40% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).

It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share or an Option will be following the completion of the Entitlement Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.056 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Entitlement Offer. |
| Completion Risk | As noted in Section 6.4.2, the Company has entered into an exploration lease with an option to purchase in respect of the MJ Project with the Lessors, pursuant to which the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ACDC Metals LLC, has been granted the exclusive right to explore and develop minerals on the MJ Project and an option to purchase 100% of the Lessors' interest in the MJ Project. |


RISK CATEGORY RISK
In order for the Company to be able to achieve its stated objectives in respect of the MJ Project, the Company is reliant on the Lessors to comply with their respective contractual obligations under the Mount Jackson Agreement, including maintaining the exclusivity and option rights granted to the Company throughout the term of the agreement.

If either party defaults in the performance of their respective obligations under the Mount Jackson Agreement, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly. In particular, the Mount Jackson Agreement imposes ongoing financial obligations on the Company, including annual lease payments, minimum exploration expenditure commitments and milestone payments, and a failure by the Company to meet those obligations could entitle the Lessors to terminate the Mount Jackson Agreement.

The Board has no reason to believe that the Lessors would fail to comply with their respective obligations under the Mount Jackson Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, there remains a risk that the Mount Jackson Agreement may be terminated prior to the Company exercising its option to purchase, or that the Company may be unable to satisfy its minimum expenditure or payment obligations, which could result in the loss of the Company's rights in respect of the MJ Project. |
| Foreign Jurisdiction Risk – United States | The Company's operating activities will be subject to laws and regulations governing exploration of property, health and worker safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, land and water use, prospecting, taxes, labour standards, occupational health standards, toxic wastes, the protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.

While the Company understands that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations affecting its activities, future changes in applicable laws, regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Company, its subsidiary or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's current operations or planned development projects.

Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licences can be a complex, time-consuming process and the Company cannot be sure whether any necessary permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with any future exploration or development of its properties. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in interruption or closure of exploration, development or other activities and could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

Adverse changes in US government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of |

5573-06/8781395_19

RISK CATEGORY RISK
exploration and mine permitting in the US may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company's properties without adequate compensation.
Additional requirements for capital The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offers. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
Going Concern The Company's Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the 'going concern' note included in the Financial Report, the Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Offers, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company's current exploration commitments and short term working capital requirements. However, it is likely that further funding will be required to meet the medium to long term working capital costs of the Company.

In the event that the Offers are not completed successfully there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. |
| Limited history | The Company has limited operating history and limited historical financial performance. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Tenements or the development of the Rare Earth Processing Technology. Until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects or the Rare Earth Processing Technology, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. |
| Contractual Risk | The Company's interests in the Projects and the Rare Earth Processing Technology are subject to contracts with Providence, Oro Plata, Fish Hawk Resources and Gamma Resources Limited (formerly Medallion Resources Ltd). The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on performance by the parties of their obligations under these agreements.

If the Company is unable to satisfy its undertakings under these agreements, the Company's interests in their subject matter may be jeopardised.

If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly. |

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Related Party Risk The Company has a number of key contractual relationships with related parties. If these relationships breakdown and the related party agreements are terminated, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to find a satisfactory replacement.

Further, the operations of the Company will require involvement of related parties and other third parties including suppliers, manufacturers and customers. With respect to these persons and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-contracting due diligence, the Company is unable to completely avoid the risk of:

(a) financial failure or default by a participant in any agreement to which the Company may become a party; and/or
(b) insolvency, default on performance or delivery by any operators, contractors or service providers.

There is also a risk that where the Company has engaged a contractor who is a related party, the contract between the contractor and the Company may terminate for reasons outside of the control of the Company. This may then result in the termination of the contract between the Company and the contractor and impact the Company's position, performance and reputation. |
| Rare Earth Processing Technology | The Rare Earth Processing Technology has been tested to bench scale and is now in the pre-pilot stage and has not been proven at a commercial scale.

The initial testing activities planned to be conducted will be of a confirmatory nature to establish the efficacy of the Rare Earth Processing Technology on resources originated from south-eastern Australian HMS, which will enable Rare Earth Processing Technology's operating parameters and conditions to be fine-tuned to the specific requirements of both the Company's Projects' monazite and potential feedstock from third parties seeking to utilise the technology. There is a possibility that the Rare Earth Processing Technology may not be suitable for monazite sourced from the Company's Projects and resources originated from south-eastern Australian HMS.

Additionally, further laboratory and engineering studies are required to advance the Rare Earth Processing Technology to higher readiness levels, which are likely necessary to support the financing or successful commercial development of a Rare Earth Processing Technology plant. There is no certainty the results of such work will validate the results achieved to date. Any proposed development will be subject to risks usual with this type of development including but not limited to scale up risk, cost increases, commissioning risk, process variability, regulatory and environmental approvals and the ability to attract and retain personnel with the requisite technical expertise. |
| Exploration and operations | The Tenements comprising the Projects are at various stages of exploration, and prospective investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.

There can be no assurance that future exploration of these exploration licences, or any other mineral licences that may be acquired or granted in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is |

5573-06/8781395_19
21


RISK CATEGORY RISK
identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or adverse weather conditions, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages and increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant, equipment and staff, native title process and Aboriginal heritage factors, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company being able to maintain title to the mineral exploration licences forming the Projects and obtaining all required approvals for their contemplated activities. In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral exploration licences forming the Projects. |
| Access and third-party interests | A number of the Tenements respectively overlap certain third party interests that may limit the Company's ability to conduct, exploration and mining activities including Crown land, flora and fauna reserves, pastoral leases, private/freehold land and encroachment by other tenements and tenement applications.

There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies have access to land in Australia. Negotiations with both Native Title and landowners/occupiers are generally required before the Company can access land for exploration or mining activities. Inability to access, or delays experienced in accessing, the land may impact on the Company's activities. |
| Tenement Renewals | Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of granted tenements is subject to compliance with the applicable mining legislation and regulations and the discretion of the relevant mining authority. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the Tenements. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Victoria and the ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted Tenement for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant. |
| Radioactivity Risk | Mineral sands naturally contain low levels of radioactive materials, being uranium and thorium, which are mostly contained within the minerals zircon and monazite. As the valuable heavy minerals are concentrated and the sand is |

5.3 General risks

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Operating and development risks Even if the Company's exploration is successful, the Company's ability to achieve any production, development, operating cost and capital expenditure estimates in a timely basis cannot be assured. The business of minerals development and mining involves many risks and may be impacted by factors including ore tonnes, yield, input prices (some of which are unpredictable and beyond the Company's control), overall availability of free cash to fund continuing development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, change in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies.

The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran and the associated disruption to the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to a global fuel supply crisis, resulting in increased fuel costs and potential fuel shortages. This may further impact the availability and operability of drilling and exploration equipment, and increase the overall cost of the Company's exploration activities.

Other risks also exist such as environmental hazards (including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), industrial accidents and occupational and health hazards. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs and other monetary losses and possible legal liability to the owner or operator of a mine.

The Company may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining activities in an area for which it was not responsible.

The risks outlined above also mean that there can be no assurances as to the future development of a mining operation in relation to any of the Company's projects or which the Company may acquire in the future. |
| Economic | General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. |

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
(a) general economic outlook;
(b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
(c) interest rates and inflation rates;
(d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
(e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
(f) terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Dividends | Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus. |
| Reliance on key personnel | The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

The Company's future depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain key personnel. It may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical |

personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. In addition, the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
Economic conditions and other global or national issues General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial performance, including the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance.
Competition The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
Commodity price volatility and exchange rate If the Company achieves success with the MMP Technology test work and/or exploration and development leading to production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are typically denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
Government policy changes Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Victoria and Nevada may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company's properties without adequate compensation.
Insurance The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could

have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.
Insurance of all risks associated with mineral exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
Force Majeure The Company's existing Projects or projects acquired in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

5.4 Speculative investment
