3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
3.1 General
On 18 March 2026, the Company announced a capital raise of approximately $10.0 million (before costs) (Placement) via the issue of up to 434,782,609 Shares (Placement Shares) at an issue price of $0.023 each.
The Placement is being undertaken in the following tranches:
(a) Tranche 1: comprising 225,532,948 Placement Shares issued on 26 March 2026 (Tranche 1 Placement Shares), utilising the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) respectively);
(b) Tranche 2: comprising 162,922,126 Placement Shares (Tranche 2 Placement Shares) to be issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 2); and
(c) Director Placement: comprising up to 46,327,535 Placement Shares (Director Placement Shares) to Directors Philip Warren, Phillip Jackson and Peter Cordin (collectively, the Participating Directors), subject to Shareholder approval, in the following proportions:
(i) 4,347,826 Director Placement Shares to Mr Philip Warren (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 3(a));
(ii) 38,718,840 Director Placement Shares to Mr Phillip Jackson (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 3(b)); and
(iii) 3,260,869 Director Placement Shares to Mr Peter Cordin (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 3(c)).
On 26 March 2026, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares pursuant to the Placement without prior Shareholder approval as follows:
(a) 115,319,769 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1(a)); and
(b) 110,213,179 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 1(b)).
The Company engaged Sternship Advisers as lead manager and corporate advisor to the Placement (Lead Manager). Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as co-manager to the Placement. As partial consideration for the provision of lead managerial and corporate advisory services in connection with the Placement, the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s) will be issued 20,000,000 Options (Lead Manager Options), subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 4).
Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of Placement Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2025 annual general meeting.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities after it has been made or agreed to be made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 115,319,769 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 115,319,769 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 115,319,769 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 110,213,179 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 110,213,179 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 110,213,179 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
The Company confirms that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A were not breached at the time the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued.
3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
(a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to a range of sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company, other than as disclosed below. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking

(ii) Gold Valley Pilbara Pty Ltd, a substantial Shareholder of the Company, was issued 17,282,608 Tranche 1 Placement Shares,
which, in each case, comprised more than 1% of the Company's issued capital at the time of the agreement to issue the Tranche 1 Placement Shares. Accordingly, each of the abovenamed subscribers for Tranche 1 Placement Shares is considered to be a Material Investor in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21.
(b) A total of 225,532,948 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

(ii) 110,213,179 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval of issue of Director Placement Shares
5.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares, is set out in Section 3.1 above.
The Company has received firm commitments from the Participating Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated parties, as follows:
| Participating Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) | Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Philip Warren | $100,000.00 | 4,347,826 |
| Phillip Jackson | $890,533.32 | 38,718,840 |
| Peter Cordin | $74,999.99 | 3,260,869 |
| Total | $1,065,533.31 | 46,327,535 |
Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.
5.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 apply, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without shareholder approval:
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (10.11.5).
The Participating Directors are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares and receive the $1,065,533.31 (before costs) committed by the Participating Directors.
If Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Placement Shares and will not receive the additional funds committed by the Participating Directors for those Director Placement Shares.
Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other and Shareholders may approve one or all of these Resolutions in which case, the Director Placement Shares the subject of the approved Resolution(s) will be issued even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.
5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
(a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 5.1 above.
(b) Each of the Participating Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of a Participating Director, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
(c) A maximum of 46,327,535 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s), in the proportions set out in Section 5.1 above.

(e) The Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

(g) The proceeds from the issue of the Director Placement Shares are intended to be used in the same manner as the proceeds from the Placement Shares, as set out in Section 3.3(e) above.
(h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Participating Directors.
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting, and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (Anax Metals Limited)
Each of the Participating Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) and, as a result of a quorum of Directors not being achieved, have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Participating Directors to Shareholders to resolve.
5.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
5.6 Additional information
Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
Mr Geoff Laing, being the only Director without a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive), recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive).

6. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Lead Manager Options
6.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options, is set out in Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s).
6.2 Summary of Lead Manager Mandate
The Company entered into a mandate with the Lead Manager dated 13 March 2026 for the provision of lead managerial and corporate advisory services, including the coordination and management of the Placement (Lead Manager Mandate).
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the Lead Manager:
(a) a management fee of 2% of the funds raised under the Placement (plus applicable GST);
(b) a selling fee of 4% of the funds raised under the Placement (plus applicable GST), excluding funds raised from any Chairman's list;
(c) the Lead Manager Options; and
(d) a corporate advisory fee of $100,000 (excluding GST) payable upon completion of the Placement.
The Lead Manager Mandate contains additional provisions, including warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
6.3 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 3.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date of the Lead Manager Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options and will have to consider other means of payment, including cash alternatives.
6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Lead Manager Options:
(a) The Lead Manager Options will be issued to the Lead Manager (or its nominee/s).
(b) A maximum of 20,000,000 Lead Manager Options will be issued.
(c) The Lead Manager Options will be exercisable at $0.0345 each and expire 3 years from the date of issue, and will otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.
(d) The Lead Manager Options will be issued within 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
(e) The Lead Manager Options will be issued for a nominal issue price $0.00001 each, as partial consideration for the provision of lead manager and corporate advisory services pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate. Accordingly, only $200 will be raised by the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
(f) A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is in Section 6.2 above.
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.5 Additional information

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
