E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3
1.1 Background to Placement
On 30 April 2025, the Company announced it had received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ) to raise $750,000 (before costs) through the issue of 93,750,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.008 per Share (together with one (1) free attaching Option for each Placement Share issued, exercisable at $0.015 on or before three (3) years from the date of issue, subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 2) ( Placement Options ).
On 15 May 2025, the Company issued 86,812,500 Placement Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement ) to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants, raising approximately $694,500 (before costs). The Company previously received Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 at a general meeting held on 10 April 2025.
Subject to Shareholder approval for Resolution 1, a further 3,187,500 Shares and 3,187,500 Options will be issued to Mr Gino D’Anna ( Resolution 1 Related Party ) in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 ( Tranche 2 Placement ).
1.2 Use of Funds
The funds raised under the Placement will be used to fund continued exploration and development of the Company’s Uis Project in Namibia.
1.3 Lead Manager
CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) ( Lead Manager ) was engaged as the lead manager, broker and adviser to the Tranche 1 Placement under a lead manager mandate dated on or about 21 April 2025 ( Lead Manager Mandate ). In consideration for the provision of the lead manager services and pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company agreed to:
-
(a) pay the Lead Manager a 2% manage fee on funds raised under the Placement plus GST;
-
(b) pay the Lead manager a placing fee of 4% on funds raised under the Placement plus GST ( Placement Fee ); and
-
(c) issue the Lead Manager 10,000,000 Options on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options, subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3 of this Notice.
The Lead Manager may be liable to pay a placing fee to parties of up to 4% plus GST, which will be payable from the Placement Fee.
The Lead Manager has a first right of refusal for any capital raise contemplated by the Company for 6 months from the date of the Placement.
The Lead Manager will also receive:
-
(a) a monthly corporate advisory fee of $5,000 plus GST per month, where applicable, payable in cash for services performed by the Lead Manager from the date of the Lead Manager Mandate, and for a minimum term of 12 months;
-
(b) reimbursements, excluding travel expenses, only if prior written approval has been given by the Company; and

5358-02/3714152_10
2. RESOLUTION 1 – DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT – MR GINO D’ANNA 2.1 General
The Resolution 1 Related Party wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Participants ( Director Participation ), as set out in Section 1.1 above, for an aggregate of 3,187,500 Shares and 3,187,500 Options. This is in addition to the Placement and the Company will raise up to a further $25,500 from the Director Participation.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 3,187,500 Shares and 3,187,500 Options to the Resolution 1 Related Party (and/or his nominee/s).
2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(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 Director Participation will result in the issue of Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Resolution 1 Related Party is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than the Resolution 1 Related Party who has a material personal interest in Resolution 1) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Participation because the Securities will be issued to the Resolution 1 Related Party (and/or his nominee/s) on the same terms as Securities issued to non-related party participants in the capital raising and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
2.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver
8
5358-02/3714152_10
or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.2. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Director Participation and the additional Placement funds will not be raised.
2.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
The Resolution 1 Related Party (and/or his nominee/s). |
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |

Any nominee(s) of the Resolution 1 Related Party who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
3,187,500 Shares and 3,187,500 Options will be issued. |
| Terms of Securities | The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
$0.008 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Placement Shares on a one (1) for one (1) basis. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue of the Securities under the Director Participation is to raise an additional $25,500 (before costs) under the Placement, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.2 above. The Securities to be issued under the Director Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Resolution 1 Related Party. |

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT OPTIONS TO TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT PARTICIPANTS

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 86,812,500 Placement Options. Further information in respect of the Placement and the issue of the Placement Options is set out in Section 1.
9
5358-02/3714152_10
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

-
The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.

8.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 to 11on the basis that all of the Directors (and/or their nominee/s) are to be issued Securities should Resolutions 6 to 11 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 6 to 11.
8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
8.4
Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 2.3 above.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 6 to 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 6 to 11 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company may seek to remunerate the Related Parties through other means (i.e. cash bonuses).
8.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the persons to whom Securities will be issued |
The proposed recipients of the Securities are set out in Section 8.1 above. |

| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Securities will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the proposed recipients in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties. |

| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Options for the following reasons: (a) the issue of Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; (b) the issue to the proposed recipients will align the interests of the proposed recipients with those of Shareholders; (c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non- cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; (d) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the recipient in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the recipient is not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and (e) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed. The Company has agreed to issue the Performance Rights for the following reasons: (a) the issue of Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; (b) the milestones attaching to the Performance Rights to the proposed recipients will align the interests of the recipient with those of Shareholders; (c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non- cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the proposed recipients; and (d) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Performance Rights on the terms proposed. |
| Consideration of quantum of Securities to be issued |
The number of Securities to be issued has been determined based upon a consideration of: (a) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company; (b) the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and (c) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of theproposed recipients who have |

9. RESOLUTION 12 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES – FUTURE PLACEMENT
9.1 General
The Company is proposing to undertake a future placement to raise up to $2,000,000 through the issue of Shares ( Future Placement Shares ) at an issue price per Share which is not more than a 20% discount to the 5-day VWAP of the securities of the Company ( Future Placement ).
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1
As summarised in Section 3.2, 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.
The proposed issue of the Future Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Future Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Future Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Future Placement Shares and the Company may have to consider alternative methods of raising capital.
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Future Placement Shares.

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Rights and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Performance Rights without converting the Performance Rights. |
| 12. | Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares |
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue. |
| 13. | Reorganisation | If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation. |
| 14. | Dividend and voting rights |
The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends. |
| 15. | Transferability | The Performance Rights are not transferable. |

| 16. | Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares |
If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraphs 7 or 10 would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act (General Prohibition) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition: (a) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and (b) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (n)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition. |
|---|---|---|
| 17. | No rights to return of capital |
A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise. |
| 18. | Rights on winding up | A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up. |
| 19. | ASX Listing Rule compliance |
The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules. |
| 20. | No other rights | A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms. |
