Risks

You should read this document in its entirety and, if in any doubt, consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities. There are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The Securities offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to return on capital investment, payment of dividends or the future value of the Securities. Refer to Section D of the Investment Overview as well as Section 9 for details relating to some of the key risk factors that should be considered by prospective investors. There may be risk factors in addition to these that should be considered in light of your personal circumstances.

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

i

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 forwardlooking 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 performance and actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 9.

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.

Competent person statement

The information in the Investment Overview Section of this Prospectus, included at Section 4, Projects Overview and Business Plan Section, included at Section 7, and the Technical Assessment Report, included at Annexure A of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration results, exploration targets and mineral resources is based on information announced by the Company on 18 August 2025 (compiled by Mr Jerome Randabel). Mr Randabel has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code ). Mr Randabel is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and is a fulltime employee of GoviEx Uranium Inc. Mr Randabel consents to the inclusion of the information in these Sections of this Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the announcements and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which Mr Randabel’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the announcement.

Continuous disclosure obligations

Following re-admission, the Company will be a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be 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.

Price sensitive information will be publicly released through the ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and

market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

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

The Company is a participant 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 notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Securityholder 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 this 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 14.

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 details set out in this Prospectus.

Change in nature and scale of activities and recompliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules

ASX has determined that the Proposed Transaction, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations. The change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations will require:

  • (a) the approval of Shareholders which will be sought at the general meeting to be held at 10:00am (WST) on 8 October 2025 ( General Meeting ) (refer to notice of meeting released on the ASX on 5 September 2025 ( Notice of Meeting ); and

  • (b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

The Company expects that the conduct of the Public Offer made pursuant to this Prospectus will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.

The Company’s Shares are currently suspended from trading on the ASX and will remain suspended until the

Company re-complies with the admission requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

The Proposed Transaction is conditional on the conditions set out in Sections 5.9 and 11.1.1, namely the satisfaction of the Conditions to the Public Offer and approval of the ASX of the Company’s re-compliance with the admission requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of ASX for re-instatement to trading. In the event the Conditions are not satisfied, or the Company does not receive conditional approval for reinstatement to trading, then the Company will not proceed with the Offer and will repay all application monies received.

1. LETTER FROM CHAIR

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to present this Prospectus and to offer you the opportunity to become a shareholder of Tombador Iron Limited (to be renamed ‘Atomic Eagle Limited’) ( Tombador or Company ).

The Board considers that a natural progression to deliver shareholder value is to assess an acquisition opportunity which is consistent with the Company’s previous mineral exploration activities and stated objectives.

As announced on 18 August 2025, the Company has entered into a binding arrangement agreement ( Arrangement Agreement ) whereby Tombador will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GoviEx Uranium Inc (TSXV: GXU; OTCQX: GVXXF) ( GoviEx or GXU ) by way of a plan of arrangement ( Arrangement ) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ( BCABC ), which will result in GoviEx becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tombador.

GoviEx is a Canadian-based mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of its flagship Muntanga Uranium Project, which is located in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts in the southeastern region of Zambia.

GoviEx has a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Muntanga Uranium Project through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which comprises three (3) mining licences for Muntanga, Dibbwi and Chirundu, two (2) exploration licences for Nabbanda and Chirundu Extension and one (1) mining licence for Kariba Valley (Chisebuka). Information relating to the location, tenure, geology and mineralisation and previous exploration at Muntanga Uranium Project is set out in Section 7.1.

The Arrangement is conditional on (among other things) the Company and GoviEx obtaining all necessary regulatory, court and Shareholder approvals required to effect the Arrangement and satisfying all other requirements for the Company to be re-admitted to the Official List.

For the purposes of re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will undertake a capital raising (the Public Offer ) to raise $5,000,000 (before costs) ( Minimum Subscription ), with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to a further $5,000,000 (before costs) ( Maximum Subscription ), at an issue price of $0.28 per Share.

This Prospectus is issued for the purpose of supporting an application to have the Company’s Shares reinstated to trading on the ASX. This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Company, the Muntanga Uranium Project and the Public Offer, as well as the risks of investing in the Company, and I encourage you to read it carefully. The Shares offered by this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

I look forward to you joining us as a Shareholder and sharing in what we believe are exciting and prospective times ahead for the Company. Before deciding to invest in the Company, you should read this Prospectus in its entirety, and in particular, the technical, geological and financial information and the risk factors that could affect the Company’s business and activities, its future prospects and the value of its Securities. You should also seek professional advice before making an investment in the Company.

Yours sincerely,

David Chapman Non-Executive Chair

  • (d) Matador Capital, a renowned Australian based advisory group with a strong track record in identifying opportunities (including Lotus Resources Limited and Boss Resources Limited) and with deep networks in the uranium sector will play a critical role in the Proposed Transaction and roll out of the reinvigorated strategy through strategic investment and provision of technical expertise;

  • (e) with cash at bank of approximately A$20.2 million (before costs) under the Minimum Subscription and A$25.2 million (before costs) under the Maximum Subscription, at Completion, the Company will be in a strong position to execute its development strategy in a systematic and purposeful manner;

  • (f) re-instatement to the ASX is expected to provide the Company access to deeper pools of capital for African uranium explorers and developers, with potential for significant valuation uplift upon delivery of key milestones; and

BUSINESS MODEL
What is the
Company’s
business
model?
Following
Completion,
the
Company’s
proposed
business model will be to focus on exploration and
development of mineral resource opportunities, and
specifically exploration and development of the
Muntanga
Uranium
Project,
initially
as
per
the
Company’s proposed exploration programs.
The Company will aim to progressively transition from a
junior exploration and development company (subject
to the results of exploration activities, technical studies
and the availability of suitable funding), to a uranium
producer, delivering growth and value for Shareholders.
The Company proposes to fund its exploration activities
over the first two years following listing as outlined in the
table at Section 7.4.2.
A detailed explanation of the Company’s business
model and strategy post re-admission is provided at

strategy through strategic investment and
provision of technical expertise;
(e)
with cash at bank of approximately A$20.2
million (before costs) under the Minimum
Subscription and A$25.2 million (before costs)
under
the

KEY RISKS
Completion
risk
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company
has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital of
GoviEx via plan of arrangement, subject to the
satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions precedent.
If any of the conditions precedent are not satisfied (or
waived), or any of the counterparties do not comply with
their obligations under the Arrangement Agreement,
completion of the Arrangement may not occur. Failure
to effect completion of the Arrangement would mean
the Company may not be able to meet the requirements
for re-quotation of the Company’s Shares, and the
Shares may remain suspended from quotation, until such
time as the Company does re-comply with Chapters 1
and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
In addition, if completion of the Proposed Transaction is
not effected the Company will incur costs relating to
services provided by advisers and other costs associated
with the Proposed Transaction without any material
benefit being achieved.
The Board has no reason to believe that GoviEx would fail
to comply with its respective obligations under the
Arrangement Agreement, including completion of the
Arrangement.
Section 9.2.

ITEM SUMMARY FURTHER
INFORMATION
Notwithstanding the above, there remains a risk that
Completion may not occur.
Re-quotation
of Shares on
ASX
The Proposed Transaction constitutes a significant
change in the nature and scale of the Company’s
activities, and the Company needs to re-comply with
Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were
seeking admission to the Official List. There is a risk that
the Company may not be able to meet the requirements
of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX.
Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded
on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be
met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from
trading their Shares should the Company be suspended
until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing
Rules. Shareholders will be aware that the Company’s
Shares have been suspended from quotation since 11
October 2023 (Deadline).
If the Proposed Transaction does not proceed, the
Company’s Shares will remain suspended from quotation
and the Company may be removed from the Official List
on the Deadline given that, at that time, the Company’s
Shares will have been suspended from quotation for a
continuous period of 2 years.
Following lodgement of this Prospectus, the Company
will apply for a short extension from the ASX to the
Deadline. The Company notes that the ASX, in its sole
and absolute discretion, will decide whether such
extension of time is granted and for the period of time for
which the extension is to be granted. The Company
cannot guarantee the outcome of the application for
the extension of time with the ASX. If ASX do not grant an
extension to the Deadline the Company may be
removed from the Official List.
Section 9.2.
Exploration
and operations
The mineral licences comprising the Muntanga Uranium
Project 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 licences, or any other mineral licences that may be
acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an
economic resource. Even if an apparently viable
resource is 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, 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 Muntanga Uranium
Project and obtaining all required approvals for their
Section 9.3.

ITEM SUMMARY FURTHER
INFORMATION
contemplated activities. In the event that exploration
programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a
diminution in the value of the Muntanga Uranium Project,
a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and
possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral
exploration licences forming the Muntanga Uranium
Project.
Title GoviEx’s Zambian subsidiaries are the registered holders
of the Licences forming the Muntanga Uranium Project.
The Company’s exploration and development activities
(including at the Muntanga Uranium Project) are
dependent upon the grant, maintenance and renewal
of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and
regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made
subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and
granting of these mineral rights depend on the Company
being
successful
in
obtaining
required
statutory
approvals and complying with regulatory processes. A
failure to obtain these statutory approvals or comply with
these regulatory processes may adversely affect the
Company’s title to the mineral rights, may prevent or
impede the grant, acquisition or advancement of, or the
conduct of activities within, mineral rights and may have
a material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects of the
Company.
Further, there is no guarantee or assurance that the
licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be
renewed or extended as and when required or that new
conditions will not be imposed in connection with the
Licences. The renewal or grant of the terms of each
licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant
government authority. To the extent such approvals,
consents or renewals are not obtained, the Company
may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its
exploration and development activities or proceeding
with any future development, which may have a
material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects of the
Company.
Section 9.3.
Approvals,
authorisations,
licences and
permits
Post re-admissions, the Company’s activities will be
subject to the need for a variety of governmental
approvals, authorisations, licences and permits, including
work permits and environmental approvals, at various
stages
of
exploration
and
development.
These
requirements will change as the Company’s operations
develop.
There can be no assurance that the various approvals,
authorisations, licences and permits required for the
Company to carry out exploration, development and
mining operations on the Muntanga Uranium Project will
be obtained on reasonable terms or at all or, if obtained,
will not be cancelled or renewed upon expiry in the
future. In addition, there is no assurance that such
approvals, authorisations, licences and permits will not
contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect
the Company’s exploration and development activities
and mining operations.
Delays may occur in obtaining necessary renewals or
modifications of authorisations, approvals, licences and
permits for existing or future activities and operations, or
additional
or
amended
approvals,
authorisations,

What is the
financial
outlook for the
Company?
Given the current status of the Proposed Transaction and
the speculative nature of its business, the Directors do not
consider it appropriate to forecast future earnings.
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 on a reasonable basis.
What is the
Company’s
dividend
policy?
Payment of dividends by the Company is at the
discretion of the Board. Given the stage of development
of the Company, the Board anticipates that significant
expenditure will be incurred in the evaluation and
development of the Muntanga Uranium Project. These
activities, together with the possible acquisition of
interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at
least the first two-year period following the Company’s
re-admission. Accordingly, the Directors have no current
intention to declare and pay a dividend and no
dividends are expected to be paid during the
foreseeable
future
following
the
Company’s
re-
admission.
In determining whether to declare future dividends, the
Directors will consider the level of earnings of the
Company, the operating results and overall financial
condition of the Company, future capital requirements,
capital management initiatives, general business outlook
and other factors the Directors may consider relevant at
the time of their decision.

Section 5.7.
Will any Shares
be subject to
escrow?
None of the Shares issued under the Public Offer will be
classified as restricted securities and accordingly they will
not be subject to escrow.
However, subject to the Company complying with
Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and completing
the Public Offer, it is anticipated that certain Securities on
issue (including the Consideration Securities) may be
classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be
required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from
the date of Official Quotation.
Namely, the Adviser Shares proposed to be issued to
Yelverton Capital and Matador Capital (or their
nominee(s)), subject to Shareholder approval, are likely
to be restricted from trading for a period of 12 to 24
months after the date of re-admission of the Company
to the Official List.
Subject to in-principle confirmation from ASX in relation
to Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11, the Consideration
Securities will not be restricted from trading for a period
of 12 to 24 months after the date of re-admission of the
Company to the Official List.
During the period in which restricted Shares are
prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may
be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a
Shareholder to dispose of his or her Shares in a timely
manner.
The Company will announce to ASX full details (quantity
and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow
prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX.
The Company confirms its ‘free float’ (the percentage of
the Shares that are not restricted and are held by
shareholders who are not related parties (or their
associates) of the Company at the time of re-admission)

5.8.1 Cleansing Offer

The Cleansing Offer is being undertaken for the purposes of section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to remove any restrictions on the sale of Shares issued without disclosure under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act prior to the closing date of the Cleansing Offer (including the Adviser Share and Consideration Shares). The Cleansing Offer will otherwise have no impact on the Company. The Cleansing Offer will open on the opening date of the Public Offer and remain open until the Company’s re-admission to the Official List, unless closed earlier by the Company, in its sole discretion.

The Cleansing Offer is only available for application by those persons invited to apply by the Company. Accordingly, applications for Shares under the Cleansing Offer should only be made if you are instructed to do so by the Company. Applications for Shares under the Cleansing Offer must only be made using the Application Form to be provided by the Company and attached to, or accompanying this, Prospectus. If issued, the Shares issued under the Cleansing Offer will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 12.2 (being the same terms and conditions as the Shares currently on issue).

Prospective investors should note that the Cleansing Offer is only being undertaken for the specific purpose set out in this Section. Given the Cleansing Offer is not considered material, and as there is no intention to issue any Shares under the Cleansing Offer, the impacts of the Cleansing Offer on the Company’s capital structure and its financial position have not been factored in or taken into account throughout this Prospectus (including to calculate diluted interests).

While the Shares offered under the Cleansing Offer are in the same class as the Shares to be issued under the Public Offer for which quotation will be sought, the Company will not apply for quotation of the Shares to be issued under the Cleansing Offer as there is no intention to issue any Shares under the Cleansing Offer. The Company reserves all discretions in relation to applications under the Cleansing Offer.

5.8.2

GoviEx Warrantholder Offer and GoviEx Optionholder Offer

The purpose of the GoviEx Warrantholder Offer and GoviEx Optionholder Offer (together, the Options Offers ) is to remove any trading restrictions attaching to Shares on exercise of the New Options to be issued under the Options Offers, given that the Securities offered under those Offers are being issued with disclosure under this Prospectus. The Options Offers will open on the opening date of the Public Offer and remain open until the Company’s readmission to the Official List, unless closed earlier by the Company, in its sole discretion.

The GoviEx Warrantholder Offer is only available for application by eligible GoviEx Warrantholders and the GoviEx Optionholder Offer is only available for application by eligible GoviEx Optionholders.

An Application Form and instructions on how to apply in relation to the Options Offers will only be provided to the relevant parties by the Company. Applications for New Options under the Options Offers must only be made using the Application Form to be provided by the Company and attached to, or accompanying this, Prospectus.

22

The New Options to be issued under the GoviEx Warrantholder Offer will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 12.3 and the New Options to be issued under the GoviEx Optionholder Offer will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 12.4.

No payment is required to subscribe for New Options under the Options Offers. Accordingly, no funds will be raised pursuant to the Options Offers. The Company will not apply for quotation of the New Options to be issued under the relevant Offer.

The Shares issued upon the future exercise of New Options issued under the Options Offers will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. A summary of the material rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares is set out in Section 12.2.

For the avoidance of doubt, the issue of the New Options, the subject of the Options Offers, is conditional on receipt of Shareholder approval at the General Meeting.

5.9 Conditions of the Offers

The Offers are conditional upon the following conditions being satisfied:

  • (a) the Minimum Subscription to the Public Offer being raised;

  • (b) Shareholder approval being obtained for all resolutions required to conduct the Proposed Transaction at the General Meeting;

  • (c) ASX granting conditional approval for the Company to be re-admitted to the Official List (and the Company being satisfied it can meet those conditions set by ASX); and

  • (d) the Arrangement Agreement becoming unconditional,

(together the Conditions ).

If these Conditions are not satisfied within the requisite period, then the Offers will not proceed, and no Securities will be issued pursuant to this Prospectus. If this occurs, the Company will repay all application monies received under the Offers within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

5.10 ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation by the ASX of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. However, applicants should be aware that the ASX will not grant Official Quotation of any Shares until the Company has complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and has received the approval of the ASX to be re-instated to quotation. Accordingly, the Shares may not be able to be traded for some time after the close of the Public Offer.

If the Shares are not re-instated to Official Quotation by the ASX before the expiration of three (3) months after the date of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by the ASIC, the Company will not issue any Shares under the Public Offer and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

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

The Company will not apply for Official Quotation of the New Options issued pursuant to this Prospectus.

5.11 Issue

Subject to the Conditions set out in Section 5.9 being satisfied, issue of Securities offered by this Prospectus will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the issue of the Shares under this Prospectus 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. However, the Company will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each applicant waives the right to claim interest.

23

The Directors (in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers) will determine the recipients of the Shares in their sole discretion in accordance with the allocation policy detailed in Section 5.7. The Directors reserve the right to reject any application or to allocate any applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for. Where the number of Shares 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.

Holding statements for Shares allocated to the Company’s sponsored subregister and confirmation of allocation for Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) holders will be mailed to applicants being allocated Shares under the Public Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

5.12 Applicants outside Australia

This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia is restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should observe any of these restrictions, including those outlined below. In particular, this Prospectus may not be distributed in the United States or elsewhere outside Australia except to Institutional Investors in New Zealand, Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces), the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore and the European Union (excluding Austria) (the Permitted Jurisdictions ) in transactions exempt from local prospectus or registration requirements. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by you that you have complied with these restrictions.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This Prospectus constitutes an offering of Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the Provinces ), only to persons to whom Shares may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

No securities commission or authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the Shares or the offering of the Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. While Canadian purchasers may be able to resell Shares on the ASX, they should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Shares.

Some of the Company’s directors and officers could be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon such persons. A portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission. Securities legislation in certain Provinces may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation, provided the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities

24

legislation of the purchaser’s Province. A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s Province for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Shares as there are Canadian tax implications for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu’il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation d’achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

The Company’s Shares are currently suspended from trading on the ASX and, for so long as the Company continues to pursue the Proposed Transaction, will remain suspended and not ‑ be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has re complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

6. CORPORATE AND PROPOSED TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

6.1 Background to the Company

6.1.1 General

Tombador Iron Limited ( Company or Tombador ) is an Australian public company, which was incorporated on 5 May 2004.

The Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX on 18 November 2004 as ‘Allied Brands Limited’ (ASX: ABQ). Since that time, the Company has gone through a number of transformations.

Most recently, the Company had been focused on exploration and development of the Tombador Iron Ore Project (the TIO Project ) upon its re-admission to the Official List of ASX on 6 October 2020 as ‘Tombador Iron Limited’ (ASX: TI1) (formerly, ‘Resa Group Limited’ (ASX: RE1)), following its re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

6.1.2 Suspension and disposal of main undertaking

On 11 October 2023, the Company’s Shares were suspended from quotation at the request of the Company, shortly after which the Company announced that the Board had determined to suspend operations at the TIO Project.

The decision to suspend operations at the TIO Project was driven by several key factors including, safety and geotechnical concerns, market conditions and resource conservation.

Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement released on 11 October 2023 for further details regarding the Board’s decision to suspend operations at the TIO Project.

On 25 October 2023, the Company confirmed that it had accepted an offer for the acquisition of the TIO Project from PJ Investimentos e Participações Ltda ( PJIEP ), via the sale of 100% of the issued share capital of Tombador Iron Mineracao Ltda ( TIM ) ( Disposal Transaction ).

The decision to accept the offer was made after a thorough and diligent evaluation of its merits and with the primary aim of preserving value to Shareholders, and was, in the view of the Board, in the best interests of Shareholders.

The Disposal Transaction was deemed to constitute a sale of the Company’s main undertaking under the ASX Listing Rules and therefore, the Company obtained the approval of Shareholders for the Disposal Transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 at the Company’s general meeting held on 27 December 2023.

Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement released on 25 October 2023 and its notice of general meeting dated 27 November 2023 for further details of the Disposal Transaction, including the Company’s reasons for undertaking the Disposal Transaction.

The Disposal Transaction was subsequently completed in January 2024.

6.1.3 New business opportunities

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not hold any mineral projects and all previous operations of the Company noted above have ceased.

Since completing the Disposal Transaction, the Company has continued to evaluate new business opportunities in order to add a new asset to the Company, including in the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

As announced on 18 October 2024, the Company had entered into a binding agreement with Colomi Singapore Pte Ltd ( Colomi ) to purchase 100% of the issued capital of Colomi Iron Mineração S.A. ( CIM ) which holds the Colomi Iron Project. It was proposed that the acquisition would be undertaken in conjunction with a re-compliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules ( Previous Proposal ). The Board has since determined that current market conditions for iron ore could make it challenging for the Previous Proposal to proceed.

29

In light of the above, the Company continued assessing other suitable investment and acquisition opportunities in order to add a new asset.

The Company has terminated the Previous Proposal and is now proposing to acquire GoviEx by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ( BCABC ) which will result in GoviEx becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tombador ( Arrangement ).

Refer to Section 6.2.1 for further details of the Arrangement.

6.2 Background to the Proposed Transaction

6.2.1 The Arrangement

As announced on 18 August 2025, the Company entered into a binding arrangement agreement with GoviEx ( Arrangement Agreement ) to result in a reverse takeover of Tombador by GoviEx by way of a plan of arrangement under the BCABC, which will result in GoviEx becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tombador. The Arrangement Agreement was subsequently amended and reinstated by the parties on 5 September 2025.

GoviEx is a Canadian-based mineral resource company focused on the exploration and development of uranium assets in Africa. Originally incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 16 June 2006, GoviEx was continued under the BCABC on 1 March 2011. On 20 June 2014, the common shares in GoviEx ( GoviEx Shares ) then on issue were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ( CSE ). On 11 July 2016, GoviEx transferred its listing from the CSE to the TSX-V maintaining its ticker code, GXU. GoviEx’s common shares are also quoted for trading on OTCQB under the ticker code GVXXF.

GoviEx operates as a single-segment entity with its core business activity being the advancement of uranium projects located in Africa. GoviEx’s focus is the exploration and development of its flagship Muntanga Uranium Project, which is located in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts in the southeastern region of Zambia.

GoviEx has a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Muntanga Uranium Project, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which comprises three (3) mining licences for Muntanga, Dibbwi and Chirundu, two (2) exploration licences for Nabbanda and Chirundu Extension and one (1) mining licence for Kariba Valley.

Information relating to the location, tenure, geology and mineralisation and previous exploration at Muntanga Uranium Project is set out in Section 7.1.

For the purposes of re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will undertake the Public Offer in conjunction with the Arrangement (together the Proposed Transaction ).

6.2.2 Arrangement Agreement

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, securityholders in GoviEx ( GoviEx Securityholders ) will receive the following consideration securities in the capital of Tombador in consideration for their respective GoviEx Shares, GoviEx options ( GoviEx Options ) and/or GoviEx warrants ( GoviEx Warrants ) held at the Record Date under the Arrangement:

  • (a) 0.2534 Shares for every one GoviEx Share held by shareholders in GoviEx ( GoviEx Shareholders ) ( Consideration Shares );

  • (b) 0.2534 new unlisted Options exercisable at various exercise prices and expiry dates set out in Section 6.2.6 ( New Options ) for every one (1) GoviEx Option held; and

  • (c) 0.2534 New Options for every one (1) GoviEx Warrant held,

(together, the Consideration or Consideration Securities ).

Assuming no GoviEx Shares, GoviEx Options or GoviEx Warrants are issued (including upon the exercise of any current convertible securities in GoviEx) prior to completion of the Arrangement, the Company will issue GoviEx Securityholders a total of 258,990,559 Consideration Shares and 95,892,041 New Options.

The Arrangement is conditional on (among other things) the Company and GoviEx obtaining all necessary regulatory, court and Shareholder approvals required to effect the

30

Arrangement and satisfying all other requirements for the Company to be re-admitted to the Official List.

The material terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement are set out in Section 11.1.1.

6.2.3 Sell Down

In connection with the Arrangement, substantial holder Colomi has agreed to sell 14,492,754 Shares to Matador Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 144 992 781) ( Matador Capital ) (and/or its nominee) at $0.138 per Share ( Sell Down ). Matador Capital is owned and controlled by proposed strategic adviser, Grant Davey. Settlement of the Sell Down will occur concurrently with Completion.

Matador Capital (and/or its nominee(s)) also propose to participate in the Public Offer for up to 2,772,183 Shares ( Matador Investment ).

As a result of the Sell Down and the Matador Investment, Matador Capital (or its nominee(s)) will acquire a shareholding of 4.63% in the Company on Completion (assuming the Minimum Subscription is raised) and 4.42% (assuming the Maximum Subscription is raised) under the Public Offer.

6.2.4 Advisers

Yelverton Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 667 868 199) ( Yelverton Capital ) and Matador Capital have been engaged in connection with the Arrangement to provide corporate and transactional support, including due diligence, assistance with transaction execution and documentation.

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue each of Yelverton Capital and Matador Capital (or their respective nominee(s)) 5,000,000 Shares on Completion ( Adviser Shares ).

The Adviser Shares will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for the provision of corporate and transactional support to the Company.

6.2.5 Group structure

Upon Completion, the corporate structure of the Group is anticipated to be as follows:

  2. Menel Energy and Resources Limited (a company incorporated in Zambia) ( Menel Energy ) is a substantial shareholder of GoviEx and, as a result of the Arrangement, is entitled to receive 35,149,114 Consideration Shares.

  3. As noted above, Colomi has agreed to sell 14,492,754 Shares to Matador Capital (and/or its nominee(s)) as part of a Sell Down, settlement of which is to occur concurrently with Completion. In addition, Colomi intends to distribute its remaining 25,111,498 Shares to a number of its shareholders in satisfaction of outstanding amounts owed by the Company under convertible notes currently on issue in Colomi and held by those shareholders.

The Company will announce to the ASX details of its top 20 Shareholders following the Completion and prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX.

6.4 Restricted Securities

Subject to the Company being re-instated to quotation and completing the Public Offer, certain Securities (including the Adviser Shares) will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation. During the period in which these Securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Securities may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of Securities in a timely manner.

None of the Shares issued under the Public Offer will be subject to escrow.

Subject to in-principle confirmation from ASX in relation to Listing Rule 1.1 Condition 11, the Consideration Securities will not be restricted from trading for a period of 12 to 24 months after the date of re-admission of the Company to the Official List.

While the ASX has not yet confirmed the final escrow position, the Company anticipates that the Adviser Shares proposed to be issued to Yelverton Capital and Matador Capital (or their nominee(s)) are likely to be restricted from trading for a period of 12 to 24 months after the date of re-admission of the Company to the Official List.

The number of Securities that are subject to ASX imposed escrow are at ASX’s discretion in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and underlying policy. The above is a good faith estimate of the Shares that are expected to be subject to ASX imposed escrow.

The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on ASX (which admission is subject to ASX’s discretion and approval).

Assuming Minimum Subscription under the Public Offer, the Company’s ‘free float’ (being the percentage of Shares not subject to escrow and held by Shareholders that are not

34

related parties of the Company (or their associates) at the time of re-admission to the Official List) will be approximately 78%, comprising all Shares issued pursuant to the Public Offer and the Consideration Shares (other than Shares to be applied for by Director, Stephen Quantrill under the Public Offer) and all Shares currently on issue (other than those held by related parties of the Company).

6.5 Dividend policy

Payment of dividends by the Company is at the discretion of the Board. Given the stage of development of the Company, the Board anticipates that significant expenditure will be incurred in the evaluation and development of the Muntanga Uranium Project. These activities, together with the possible acquisition of interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at least the first two-year period following the Company’s Admission. Accordingly, the Directors have no current intention to declare and pay a dividend and no dividends are expected to be paid during the foreseeable future following the Company’s re-listing on the ASX.

In determining whether to declare future dividends the Directors will consider the level of earnings of the Company, the operating results and overall financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, capital management initiatives, general business outlook and other factors the Directors may consider relevant at the time of their decision.

The Directors cannot and do not provide any assurances in relation to the future payment of dividends or the level of franking credits attaching to any future dividends.

7. PROJECTS OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS PLAN

7.1 Muntanga Uranium Project

7.1.1 Overview

The Muntanga Uranium Project is located in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts in the southeastern region of Zambia. The Project is controlled 100% by wholly-owned subsidiaries of GoviEx; GoviEx Uranium Zambia Limited, Chirundu Joint Ventures Zambia Limited and Muchinga Energy Resources Limited (all entities incorporated in Zambia).

The Muntanga Uranium Project encompasses three (3) mining licences – Muntanga, Dibbwi and Chirundu, covering 691 km[2] , that are located approximately 200 km south of Lusaka, north of Lake Kariba. Additionally, the Company holds two (2) exploration licences for Nabbanda and Chirundu Extension, and a recently granted mining licence for Kariba Valley, which expands the total combined area to 1,100 km².

==> picture [410 x 291] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 - Muntanga Uranium Project Location

After independence in 1964, Zambia was initially ruled by a single party until 1991, when it transitioned to fully democratic rule and has remained so to date. Zambia primarily follows a legal system based on English common law. Zambia currently ranks as the world's 7th largest producer of copper and is one of the largest in Africa. In 2024, the country produced 820,000t of copper and Zambia’s Minister of Mines and Mineral Development announced an ambitious strategy to increase the country’s copper production to 3 million tonnes by 2031. In addition to its ambitious copper production goals, the Zambian government has recognised the importance of diversifying its mining sector to reduce reliance on copper and strengthen its economic resilience. This strategy includes promoting the development of other critical minerals, such as uranium, which is increasingly valued in the global transition to clean energy.

Against this backdrop, the Project is well-positioned to benefit from the government’s diversification strategy and its commitment to the sector. The Project already holds the necessary mining licences and has filed the required studies to apply for Environmental Permits, which once secured will enable development to commence, subject to financing.

36

Key technical aspects of the Muntanga Uranium Project supporting its low technical risks and potential for low operating cost include:

  • (a) shallow open pit mine and heap leaching with industry-standard, conventional downstream processing methods;

  • (b) excellent local infrastructure with road access, water and grid power;

  • (c) well-established export routes through Namibia, presenting the ability to supply Western and non-Western markets;

  • (d) no tailings storage required, reducing the environmental impact;

  • (e) soft rock reduces powder factor and lowers mining costs;

  • (f) optimized ore processing:

  • (i) high liberation of minerals (only requires crushing to 25mm prior to agglomeration);

  • (ii) LOM average recovery rates of at least 90% with rapid uranium recoveries within 21 days from start of heap irrigation;

  • (iii) low acid consumption, averaging less than 16.5 kg H₂SO₄ per tonne of ore treated, with Zambia's position as a net surplus acid producer ensuring reliable local supply; and

  • (iv) quick start up: first uranium production expected within 4 months of mining.

The Mineral Resource is reported in accordance with the JORC Code, as set out in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 18 August 2025 and released on 19 August 2025 ( Acquisition Announcement ). Further information regarding the Mineral Resource is set out in Sections 7.1.5 of this Prospectus and contained in the JORC Code 2012 Table 1 annexed to the Acquisition Announcement.

The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Acquisition Announcement, and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Acquisition Announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

7.1.2 Tenure

The Muntanga Uranium Project comprises six (6) licences as set out in the table below, each legally and beneficially held by GoviEx:

There are no agreements or encumbrances on the Licences comprising the Muntanga Uranium Project, which is a greenfield exploration site with no history of previous development or industrial activity.

GoviEx also has an option to acquire a 51% legal and beneficial interest in the mineral claims and rights to exploration license Lundazi (32188-HQ-LEL) ( Lundazi Licence ) pursuant to an earn-in option agreement with Stalwart Investments Limited ( SIL ) dated 3 September 2024 ( Earn-In Option Agreement ). The material terms and conditions of the Earn-In Option Agreement are set out in Section 11.2.1.

7.1.3 Geology

The uranium mineralisation occurs within the sandstone of the Karoo Supergroup and is described as a sandstone hosted fluvial channel type deposit. The Karoo Supergroup of subSaharan Africa contains what may be the world’s largest sandstone-hosted uranium province. Compared to the well-known uranium-bearing sandstone basins of the western US, the area of the Karoo basin is about 30% greater but remains relatively under explored.

7.1.4 Mineralisation

In the oxide zones, uranium mineralisation is seen as crystal coatings on surfaces and as concentrations close to surfaces with secondary uranium phosphate mineralisation (Autunite, meta-Autunite). Primary uranium mineralisation consists mostly of Pitchblende, Uraninite or Coffinite.

7.1.5 Mineral Resource Estimate

SRK Consulting (Canada) ( SRK Canada ) prepared a mineral resource estimate ( MRE ) for the Muntanga Uranium Project in November 2017, in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 ( NI 43-101 ). Following additional drilling at the Muntanga Uranium Project, SRK Canada updated the MRE as of 31 January 2024, with the revised estimate completed and reported in March 2025 in accordance with NI 43-101.

The updated MRE is reported in accordance with the JORC Code and is summarised below.

Table 1: Mineral Resource statement of the Muntanga Uranium Project, Zambia as of 31 January 2024

Notes:

  1. Mineral resources are constrained within an optimised pit shell using a uranium price of US$100/lb, mining costs of US$3.30/t, processing costs of US$9.00/t, additional mining costs of US$0.55/t, G&A costs of US$1.50/t, transport costs of US$1.50 and a royalty of 5%.

  2. Mineral Resources are reported at a U3O8 ppm cut-off grade within the optimised pit shell and are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

  3. Mineral Resources are inclusive of mineralisation in the low-grade U3O8 80 ppm halo but reported above the relevant cut-off and classed as Inferred Resources. This mineralisation represents approximately 5 % of the total Mineral Resources metal (Mlb).

  4. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.

Note : Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve. There is no direct link from an Inferred Mineral Resource to any category of Ore Reserves.

Further information for the MRE is contained the Acquisition Announcement, and specifically in the JORC Code 2012 Table 1 annexed to the Acquisition Announcement.

7.1.6 Infrastructure

The Muntanga Uranium Project location in the southeastern region of Zambia, being near the town of Chirundu and close to the Zimbabwe border, means access to the Muntanga Uranium Project is straightforward, with the site connected by sealed roads to the main road running between Chirundu and Lusaka as well as the sealed road to Siavonga. The nearest commercial airport is in Lusaka, located 144km by road from Chirundu. Additionally, the town of Livingstone, situated 560km west of Muntanga via sealed road, provides a critical gateway to Namibia and the export port of Walvis Bay.

7.1.7 Resource and exploration potential

In 2025 a campaign started testing high priority areas, ranging from near-mine targets that could extend Muntanga itself to a potential larger-scale opportunity at Kariba Valley, situated on strike and on trend 70 kilometres to the south-east of Muntanga.

The two main targets being:

  • (a) Muntanga East where historical intercepts over a radiometric anomaly located five kilometres from the planned Muntanga open pit in the same Escarpment Grit Formation host rocks that contain the current resource. Geological interpretation of existing data suggests a conceptual shallow exploration target ranging from two to four million pounds of U3O8 at grades between 150 and 350ppm; and

  • (b) Kariba Valley where available drilling data, as well as ground radiometric and mapping data, confirms that the Chisebuka mineralisation remains open up-dip, down-dip at depth and potentially on strike. Geological modelling suggests a shallow, gently dipping mineralised body that can be traced for approximately 4km along strike and up to 1km across, with mineralised horizons outcropping from surface to roughly 110m depth. On this basis, GoviEx has delineated a conceptual model to guide exploration with targets of 20–30 million lb U3O8, and grades estimated between 150–300ppm, consistent with the grades already defined at Muntanga-Dibbwi.

7.2 Madaouela Project

From 2007 GoviEx focused on the exploration and development on the Madaouela Uranium Project in Niger (the Madaouela Project ). The Madaouela Project was controlled 100% by the Nigerien mining company, Compagnie Miniere Madaouela SA, owned 80% by GoviEx and 20% by the Government of the Republic of Niger (the State ).

39

The Madaouela Project previously included a mining permit for Madaouela I which was withdrawn by the Niger Ministry of Mines in July 2024. As a result of the withdrawal, GoviEx no longer holds any rights to the mining permit, which has reverted to the State and is now part of the public domain.

GoviEx has since commenced arbitration proceedings against the State under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes Convention, asserting that the withdrawal breached obligations under applicable mining law in Niger and that the conduct was a breach by the State of its obligation to execute its undertakings in good faith.

In February 2025, GoviEx signed a letter of intent with the State, outlining a structured roadmap to negotiate a resolution to the dispute. As part of this process, GoviEx agreed to a temporary suspension to the arbitration proceedings while negotiations continue. This process is ongoing at the date of this Prospectus.

7.3 Uranium Market Overview

The positive momentum in the uranium industry has continued to grow with the importance of uranium as a low-carbon reliable and secure source of power supply now more evident than ever. This was validated in the latest World Nuclear Association ( WNA ) World Nuclear Fuel Report which was released in early September this year. This document reports that in 2024 nuclear power supplied approximately 10% of the world’s power demands and approximately 22% of the world’s low-carbon power demand.

On top of the clean energy principles, there is increased interest in nuclear power for energy security and sovereignty especially in light of the significant shift by some utilities and countries away from Russian sources of energy.

Over the last two (2) years, nine (9) new reactors have been connected to national grids, including reactors in France, India, South Korea, UAE and China. In the same period new reactor builds have also commenced in China, Egypt, Pakistan, Russia and South Korea. Supporting this growth has also been multiple announcements by various countries on expanding their existing nuclear programs or initiating their first reactor builds.

By the end of June 2025, global nuclear capacity was 398GWe (439 units) with 71GWe (69 units) under construction. The WNA provides estimates of nuclear growth concluding with indications of the global nuclear capacity over the next 15 years based on these growth assumptions. The WNA generates three scenarios; a reference case based on government and utility published targets, a lower case with some delays assumed to the reference case and an upper case which assumes more favourable conditions for nuclear growth. The three scenarios predict:

  • (a) Lower case – 419GWe by 2030 and 552GWe by 2040;

  • (b) Reference case – 449GWe by 2030 and 746GWe by 2040; and

  • (c) Upper case – 492GWe by 2030 and 966GWe by 2040.

Two significant contributors to the WNA scenarios, on top of new builds, have been reactor life extensions and small modular reactors ( SMR’s ). Several countries are increasing reactor operating lives to 60 years and in the case of the USA to an even higher 80 years. SMR’s have also for the first time been considered by WNA in the forecast predictions. SMR have gained significant interest from governments due to the perceived prospect of simpler construction and financing.

Global reactor demand for uranium in 2024 was over 67,000tU (~174Mlbs U3O8) with global supply of only 60,213tU (~156.6Mlbs U3O8). For the three WNA scenarios the predicted reactor demand is:

  • (a) Lower case – 76,000tU (~197.7Mlbs) by 2030 and 107,000tU (~278.3Mlbs) by 2040;

  • (b) Reference case – 85,600tU (~222.7Mlbs) by 2030 and 150,000tU (~390.2Mlbs) by 2040; and

  • (c) Upper case – 98,900tU (~257.2Mlbs) by 2030 and 204,600tU (~532.2Mlbs) by 2040.

40

Primary production from uranium mines, conversion and enrichment facilities still continues to supply the majority of the demand for nuclear reactors. Secondary supply (including inventory and underfeeding in conversion) has decreased significantly. This is in some part due to the complication of the Russian conversion facilities where the majority of the world’s conversion takes place and the geopolitical risks of Russian supply. How this plays out in the secondary supply market is still to be determined.

The WNA generated three scenarios for supply along the same lines as those on the demand side i.e. a reference case supported by a lower and upper case. Uranium production in the near terms is expected to exceed current levels based on fairly stable production from existing mines. In the long term however production from existing mines is expected to halve between 2030 and 2040 resulting in a significant shortage for reactor demand in this period.

In order to try and fill this supply gap, idled mines, mines under development, planned mines along with prospective mines will all need to be brought into production. Even with all of this additional production, the future demand cannot be met from the currently identified supply sources and unspecified new supply sources will need to be discovered to fill this gap. As it currently takes 10-20 years for a mine to be taken from discovery to first production, new projects will need to be identified this decade and go through an accelerated development program in order to deliver the required production.

The supply and demand data for the reference scenario case are represented below:

==> picture [444 x 243] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Reference scenario for uranium supply and demand.[1]

The conclusions drawn from this latest report clearly indicate that the growing demand for nuclear power is driving an increased demand for primary uranium production. In order to meet the increasing supply and demand for nuclear power, the Company will need to progress current mining projects into production and advance the exploration and development of new uranium projects, which will be dependent on further investment, improved permitting efficiency and higher uranium prices.

7.4 Business overview

7.4.1 Business model

The Company’s proposed business model following Completion will be primarily focused on undertaking exploration and development activities on the Muntanga Uranium Project.

The Company will aim to progressively transition from a junior exploration and development company (subject to the results of exploration activities, technical studies and the

1 Source: WNA Nuclear Fuel Report 2025.

41

availability of suitable funding), to a uranium producer, delivering growth and value for Shareholders.

The Company’s main objectives on Completion are to:

  • (a) systematically explore and seek to further develop the Muntanga Uranium Project, including undertaking studies to define the optimal development path for the Muntanga Uranium Project, to increase the Muntanga Uranium Project’s value;

  • (b) increase the size and quality of the existing Mineral Resource estimate, and convert a portion of the Mineral Resource estimate to an Ore Reserve;

  • (c) evaluate opportunities for mineral production at the Muntanga Uranium Project, assuming exploration and development success; and

  • (d) implement a growth strategy and actively canvass other mineral exploration and resource opportunities which have the potential to generate growth and value for Shareholders.

In addition to the points noted above, the Board will consider and evaluate the merits of any acquisition and investment opportunities that arise depending on current market sentiments and the Company’s current finances and appetite for additional assets. The Company has not identified any acquisition or investment opportunities for evaluation as at the date of this Prospectus.

7.4.2 Use of funds

The Company intends to apply funds raised from the Public Offer, together with existing cash reserves, over the first two (2) years following re-admission to Official Quotation as follows:

AVAILABLE FUNDING MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION MAXIMUM SUBSCRIPTION MAXIMUM SUBSCRIPTION

Notes :

  1. The Company intends to apply these funds towards the purposes set out in this table, including the payment of the expenses of the Public Offer of which various amounts will be payable prior to Completion. Since 31 December 2024, the Company has expended approximately $510,000 in progressing the Proposed Transaction, preparing the Prospectus and general operational costs.

  2. The Technical Assessment Report at Annexure A of this Prospectus contains further details with respect to the Company’s proposed work programs for the Muntanga Uranium Project.

  3. Corporate and administration costs include the general costs associated with the management and operation of the Company’s business including administration expenses, management salaries, directors’ fees, rent and other associated costs in each location.

  4. To the extent that:

  5. (a) the Company’s exploration activities warrant further exploration activities; or

42

(b) the Company identifies additional acquisition or investment opportunities, the Company’s working capital will also be utilised to fund such further exploration activities and/or acquisition or investment costs (including due diligence investigations and experts’ fees in relation to such acquisitions or investments) as applicable. Any amounts not so expended will be applied toward corporate and administration costs for the period subsequent to the initial two-year period following readmission of the Company to the Official List.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of 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. Accordingly, the Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Public Offer together with existing cash reserves will enable two years of exploration (if the Minimum Subscription is raised). It should be noted that the Company will not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company will require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success or failure of the Muntanga Uranium Project. The Board will consider the use of additional debt or equity funding where it is appropriate to accelerate growth, support additional exploration and development on the Muntanga Uranium Project or to fund on acquisition or investment opportunities in the resources sector.

In the event the Company raises more than the Minimum Subscription of $5,000,000 under the Public Offer, the additional funds raised will be first applied towards the expenses of the Public Offer and then to proportionally increase the allocation of funds to the budget at the Muntanga Uranium Project and working capital.

The Directors consider that following completion of the Public Offer together with existing cash reserves, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. However, it should be noted that an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and prospective investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 9.

7.4.3 Proposed exploration program and development plan

The Muntanga Uranium Project is made up of five deposits (Muntanga, Dibbwi East, Dibbwi, Njame and Gwabi) contained within three mining licences (13880-HQ-LML, 13881-HQ-LML and 12634-HJQ-LML). The technical work undertaken by GoviEx has been primarily focused around the Muntanga and Dibbwi East deposits with the other deposits, being smaller in nature, considered secondary.

The focus for the Company is to initially focus on growing the resource base further to enable an operation with significant scale that would support the financing requirements for a stand-alone operation. To do this the Company has considered both a brownfield and a greenfield exploration strategy, both of which it plans to implement. These programs are described in further detail below.

The brownfield program will target areas where previous work including some drilling has already delineated a potential resource. The brownfield program will infill drill so that at least an Inferred Resource can be determined for that area. Two areas have been identified for this part of the program, which include Muntanga East and Chisabuka (see Figure below).

Muntanga East
Chisabuka
----- End of picture text -----

Figure 3: Muntanga Uranium Project – Muntanga East and Chisabuka.

Muntanga East is within close proximity to the Muntanga deposit (<2kms) with shallow mineralisation and lithology similar to the main Muntanga deposit. A down-the-hole (DTH) drilling program with ~27 holes to produce a 100m x 100m grid spacing that is applicable for Inferred Resource is planned. A diamond drill program to support QAQC requirements as well as the necessary resource modelling and pit optimisations are included in this program.

The second brownfield target is Chisabuka where a recently completed drill program has identified a shallow mineralised area (<50m from surface) and a further second zone at depth. The uranium mineralisation dips ~30 degrees to the south with the northern zone plunging under the southern one. The initial program will target the shallow mineralisation with a similar 100m x 100m grid spacing planned to deliver an Inferred Resource.

The greenfield exploration program is more conceptual in nature. In this program three areas have been identified; Muntanga North, Kariba Valley and an area to the south of Dibbwi (see Figure below). Of the three areas Muntanga North is the most prospective.

Figure 4: Muntanga Uranium Project – Muntanga North, Kariba Valley and Dibbwi.

Muntanga North has not previously been drilled but shows large radiometric anomalies similar in scale to Dibbwi East and Muntanga, on the same geological trend as these deposits and with NS faulting that tends to support mineralisation. The anomalies also appear to connect on the same trend to the Njame deposit, and mineralised holes on the Nabbanda exploration license.

Three specific targets within this area have been determined via a field verification program. Broad spaced drilling on an initial 400m x 200m pattern is planned for all three targets that will confirm any mineralisation and allow the targets to be ranked. Resource definition drilling (circa 200m x 200m grid) followed by infill drilling (100m x 100m grid) is proposed for the identified mineralised areas. A diamond drill program (~10% of holes) to provide the QAQC information for any resources will also be undertaken.

At Kariba Valley numerous radiometric anomalies have been identified that are Karoo sandstone hosted and occur along fault structures. Two main targets that occur within the change of direction of paleochannels, have been selected for further work. The proposal is to carry out a radon survey in these locations with follow up drilling, using the same concept as that described for Muntanga North.

The final greenfield target is south of Dibbwi where a number of anomalies in sandstones occur. These overlay Interbedded sandstone and mudstone formations at the boundary, similar to Dibbwi and Dibbwi East and are on the same trend. Very little data for this area is available with a preliminary exploration program required, including radon and soil samples, to generate targets.

In addition to these programs, the Company also plans to undertake a regional review to determine if there are prospective areas for uranium mineralisation where new tenements can be pegged or acquired. This review will consider the extensions of the Karoo Sandstones as well as other geological features prominent for uranium discoveries.

A breakdown of the estimated costs is shown in the table below.

Notes

  1. Loss after tax from discontinued operations

On 25 October 2023, Tombador entered into an agreement with PJ INVESTIMENTOS E PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA, where Tombador agreed to sell 100% of its equity interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Tombador Iron Mineracao Ltda, subject to shareholders’ approval. Tombador Iron Mineracao Ltda held the mining concession, “Portaria nº 165/SGM/MME”, which comprised the Tombador Iron Ore Project. Shareholders’ approval was obtained at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 27 December 2023 and the subsidiary was sold on 31 December 2023. The above loss after tax from discontinued operations in the year ended 31 December 2023 is comprised of the profit from trading for that year from the subsidiary, related income tax expense, and the loss on sale of the subsidiary after income tax. The balance for the year ended 31 December 2024 is comprised of various sundry amounts relating to the disposed subsidiary that arose during that year.

8.11 Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position - Group

The table below sets out the adjustments relating to subsequent events and pro forma adjustments that have been incorporated into the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2025.

The subsequent events reflect the material transactions that have occurred since 30 June 2025. The pro forma adjustments include the financial impact of the Public Offer and the acquisition of GoviEx as if they had occurred at 30 June 2025. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of GoviEx by Tombador Iron Limited (“the Company”) has the features of a reverse acquisition under Australian Accounting Standards AASB 3 Business Combinations , notwithstanding that the Company is the legal parent of the Group. At acquisition date, the net assets of GoviEx are recorded at their book values and the net assets of the Tombador Iron Limited Group are recorded at their fair value. Consequently, the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is based on the GoviEx Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2025 adjusted for the effects of the pro forma adjustments, which include recording the net assets of the Tombador Iron Limited Group at fair value together with the resulting assessment of the fair value of consideration for the acquisition.

The Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position is provided for illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with the notes below. The GoviEx balances as at 30 June 2025 have been translated to $A as a result of changing the presentation currency of GoviEx from $US to the $A. All assets and liabilities have been translated at the $A/$US closing rate at 30 June 2025 and all income and expenses for each of the Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income presented in section 8.6 have been translated at the average $A/$US exchange rates for the years presented, resulting in the $A position below for GoviEx as at 30 June 2025.

8.13 Material Accounting Policies

8.13.1 Basis of preparation of historical financial information

The Historical Financial Information and pro forma historical financial information have been prepared in accordance with the measurement requirements (but not all of the disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia using the accrual basis of accounting and the historical cost convention, insofar as it relates to the Financial Information of Tombador. The Historical Financial Information of GoviEx has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The financial information complies with the measurement requirements but not all of the disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.

As disclosed in Section 8.13.17, under reverse acquisition accounting, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (the Company) but are a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (GoviEx), with the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary being recognised and measured at their precombination carrying amounts rather than their fair values. As a result, the accounting policies adopted by GoviEx (which is a Canadian mineral resources company originally incorporated in the British Virgin Islands) have been continued to be applied, with certain changes in some terminology to comply with principles applied in Australia.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.

The financial information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected noncurrent assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

8.13.2 Adoption of new and revised standards

The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for future reporting periods. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and therefore, no change will be necessary to Group accounting policies.

8.13.3 Going concern

The historical financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

8.13.4 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated historical financial information of Tombador comprise the financial statements of Tombador Iron Limited and its controlled entities. The consolidated historical financial information of GoviEx comprise the financial statements of GoviEx Uranium Inc and its controlled entities.

In preparing the consolidated historical financial information, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the respective group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the respective group. Control exists where the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the group controls another entity.

Unrealised gains or transactions between the group and its subsidiaries are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interests in the subsidiaries. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the respective group.

57

When the respective group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the group has directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

8.13.5 Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • (a) when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • (b) when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • (c) when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • (d) when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

58

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

8.13.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

8.13.7 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for expected credit loss. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit loss, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost less any allowance for expected credit losses.

8.13.8 Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of GoviEx is US dollars ($US). The functional and presentation currency of Tombador is Australian dollars ($A). For the purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position, the presentation currency adopted is $A. As a result, the GoviEx balances as at 30 June 2025 have been translated to $A.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

59

8.13.9 Revenue

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

8.13.10 Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

8.13.11 Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

8.13.12 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

60

8.13.13 Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

8.13.14 Financial instruments

Recognition and de-recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:

  • (e) amortised cost;

  • (f) fair value through profit or loss ( FVTPL );

  • (g) equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income ( FVOCI ); or

  • (h) debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income ( FVOCI ).

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

The classification is determined by both:

  • (a) the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and

  • (b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):

  • (a) they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows; and

(b) the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit or loss. Further, irrespective of business model, financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial

61

instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.

The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at FVOCI. The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost.

Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income ( Equity FVOCI )

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI.

Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.

This category includes unlisted equity securities.

Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) are not recycled upon de-recognition of the asset.

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income ( Debt FVOCI )

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at debt FVOCI.

The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:

  • (a) they are held under a business model whose objective it is to “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell financial assets; and

  • (b) the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income ( OCI ) will be recycled upon de-recognition of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

Instruments within the scope include loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15, loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Recognition of credit losses by the Group is based on a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • (a) financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Level 1’);

  • (b) financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Level 2’); and

  • (c) ‘Level 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

62

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis and as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

8.13.15 Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees and consultants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

When provided, the cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants, where the fair value of the services is not readily determinable, is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense is recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

63

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

8.13.16 Exploration and evaluation expenditure

GoviEx’s accounting policy with respect to exploration and evaluation expenditure (mine properties) is to capitalise costs of acquiring mineral exploration rights, licences and mining permits. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.

All other exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to profit and loss when incurred.

A regular review will be undertaken on each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. A provision is raised against exploration and evaluation assets where the directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable or the right of tenure in the area lapses. The increase in the provision is charged against the results for the year. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

8.13.17 Reverse acquisition accounting

The acquisition of GoviEx by the Company has the features of a reverse acquisition under Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business Combination s, notwithstanding the Company being the legal parent of the Group. Consequently, the pro forma financial information presented in this Report as at 30 June 2025 has been based on the historical financial information of GoviEx translated to an $A presentation currency.

The acquisition of GoviEx by the Company is outside the scope of AASB 3 as the accounting acquiree does not constitute a business as defined by this Standard. In this instance, the principles of reverse acquisition accounting are applied to determine the accounting acquirer but the transactions are accounted for as share-based payments by the accounting acquirer for the net identifiable assets of the accounting acquiree in accordance with AASB 2 “ Share-based Payment ”.

The legal structure of the group subsequent to the acquisition of GoviEx will be that the Company will remain as the legal parent entity. However, the principles of reverse acquisition accounting are applicable where the owners of the acquired entity (in this case, GoviEx) obtain control of the acquiring entity (in this case, the Company) as a result of the combination.

Under reverse acquisition accounting, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (the Company) but are a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (GoviEx), with the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary being recognised and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts rather than their fair values.

64

8.13.18 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it effects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants, where the fair value of the services is not readily determinable, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model based on certain assumptions at the date at which they are granted.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

9. RISK FACTORS

9.1 Introduction

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

The 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 that have a direct influence on the Company, the Muntanga Uranium Project and activities are set out in Section 4. Those key risks as well as other 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 risks factors set out in this Section 9, and 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 9 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 9, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.

Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 9 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.

9.2 Risks relating to the Company and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Completion risk Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company has agreed to
acquire 100% of the issued capital of GoviEx via plan of arrangement,
subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions precedent,
including Zambian regulatory approval, as summarised in Section
11.1.1. If any of the conditions precedent are not satisfied (or waived),
or any of the counterparties do not comply with their obligations under
the Arrangement Agreement, completion of the Arrangement may not
occur. Failure to effect completion of the Arrangement would mean
the Company may not be able to meet the requirements for re-
quotation of the Company’s Shares, and the Shares may remain
suspended from quotation, until such time as the Company does re-
comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
In addition, if completion of the Proposed Transaction is not effected,
the Company will incur costs relating to services provided by advisers
and other costs associated with the Proposed Transaction without any
material benefit being achieved.
The Board has no reason to believe that GoviEx would fail to comply
with its respective obligations under the Arrangement Agreement,
including completion of the Arrangement.
Notwithstanding the above, there remains a risk that Completion may
not occur.
Re-quotation of
Shares on ASX
The Proposed Transaction constitutes a significant change in the nature
and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to re-
comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were
seeking admission to the Official List. There is a risk that the Company
may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation
of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to
be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met,
if at all. Shareholders maybeprevented from tradingtheir Shares should

69

RISK CATEGORY RISK
the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with
the ASX Listing Rules. Shareholders will be aware that the Company’s
Shares have been suspended from quotation since 11 October 2023,
with 11 October 2025 being the deadline for re-instatement (Deadline).
If the Proposed Transaction does not proceed, the Company’s Shares
will remain suspended from quotation and the Company may be
removed from the Official List on the Deadline given that, at that time,
the Company’s Shares will have been suspended from quotation for a
continuous period of 2 years.
Following lodgement of this Prospectus, the Company will apply for] a
short extension from ASX to the Deadline. The Company notes that the
ASX, in its sole and absolute discretion, will decide whether such
extension of time is granted and for the period of time for which the
extension is to be granted. The Company cannot guarantee the
outcome of the application for the extension of time with the ASX. If ASX
do not grant an extension to the Deadline the Company may be
removed from the Official List.
Dilution risk Existing Shareholders will be diluted as a result of the Proposed
Transaction. The Company currently has 86,324,684 Shares on issue.
Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, the Company is proposing
to issue:
(a)
258,990,559 Consideration Shares to GoviEx Shareholders;
(b)
95,892,041 New Options to holders of GoviEx Options and
GoviEx Warrants (as applicable);
(c)
up to 35,714,285 Shares under the Public Offer; and
(d)
10,000,000 Adviser Shares to Yelverton Capital and Matador
Capital.
The New Options, if and when exercised or converted to Shares, will also
have dilutionary effects on the holdings of existing shareholders and
investors.
Following Completion and assuming the issue of a maximum 35,714,285
Shares under the Public Offer:
(a)
existing Shareholders will retain 22.08% of the Company’s
issued share capital (assuming existing shareholders do not
acquire shares under the Public Offer);
(b)
GoviEx Shareholders will hold 66.23% of the Company’s issued
share capital (assuming such shareholders do not acquire
shares under the Public Offer); and
(c)
investors under the Public Offer will hold 9.13% of the
Company’s issued share capital.
Trading in Shares
may not be liquid
There is currently no public market for the Shares, as the Company’s
Shares have been suspended from trading since 11 October 2023.
There can be no assurance that an active market for the Shares will
develop or continue following the Company’s re-admission to the
Official List.
An illiquid market for the Company’s Shares could increase the volatility
of the price of the Company’s Shares and have an adverse impact on
the Share price.
Following the end of any mandatory escrow periods, a significant
number of Shares will become tradable on ASX. This may result in an
increase in the number of Shares being offered for sale on market (or
cause market perception that such a sale might occur) which may in
turn put downward pressure on the Company’s Share price.

9.3 Company specific risks

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Future funding
requirements and
ability to access
debt and equity
markets
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any
operating revenue unless and until the Muntanga Uranium Project is
successfully
explored,
evaluated,
developed
and
production
commences. As an exploration and development entity, the Company
does not operate on a cashflow positive basis and is reliant on raising
funds from investors in order to continue to fund its operations and
execute its exploration and development strategy.
Existing cash reserves together with the funds to be raised under the
Public Offer are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives
of the Company. However, the Company’s capital requirements
depend on numerous factors and the Company will require additional
debt or equity financing in the future to maintain or grow its business in
addition to funds raised under the Public Offer. Specifically, should the
Company consider that exploration results support commencement of
production on the Muntanga Uranium Project, additional capital will be
required to progress the Company’s development plans and
commence mining.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure
additional capital from debt or equity financing on favourable terms or
at all. The Company may also seek to raise funds through earn-in and
joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means.
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital if and when
required, this could delay, suspend or reduce the scope of the
Company’s business operations (including scaling back exploration
and development programs) and could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
Any additional equity financing may result in dilution for some or all
Shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants which limit operations and business strategy.
Contractual risk GoviEx’s interest in the Lundazi Licence is subject to the Earn-In Option
Agreement.
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend
on the performance by the parties of their obligations under that
agreement.
If GoviEx is unable to satisfy its undertakings under the Earn-In Option
Agreement GoviEx’s interest in the Lundazi Licence may be
jeopardised.
If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be
necessary for GoviEx to approach a court to seek a legal remedy,
which can be costly.
Exploration and
operations
The mineral licences comprising the Muntanga Uranium Project 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 licences, or
any other mineral licences that may be acquired in the future, will result
in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable
resource is 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,spareparts, plant,equipment and staff,

71

RISK CATEGORY RISK
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 Muntanga Uranium Project 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 Muntanga Uranium Project, a reduction in the cash reserves of the
Company and possible relinquishment of one or more of the mineral
exploration licences forming the Muntanga Uranium Project.
Title GoviEx’s Zambian subsidiaries are the registered holders of the Licences
forming the Muntanga Uranium Project. Following Completion, the
Company’s exploration and development activities (including at the
Muntanga Uranium Project) are dependent upon the grant,
maintenance and renewal of appropriate licences, concessions,
leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or
made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of
these mineral rights depend on the Company being successful in
obtaining required statutory approvals, complying with the conditions
of the Licences and complying with regulatory processes. A failure to
obtain these statutory approvals or comply with these conditions and
regulatory processes may adversely affect the Company’s title to the
mineral rights, may prevent or impede the grant, acquisition or
advancement of, or the conduct of activities within, mineral rights and
may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.
Further, there is no guarantee or assurance that the licences,
concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed or extended
as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in
connection with the Licences. The renewal or grant of the terms of each
Licence is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority.
To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained,
the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its
exploration and development activities or proceeding with any future
development, which may have a material adverse effect on the
business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the
Company.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Title in Annexure B for further
details.
Approvals,
authorisations,
licences and
permits
Post re-admission, the Company’s activities will be subject to the need
for a variety of governmental approvals, authorisations, licences and
permits, including work permits and environmental approvals (including
environmental impact assessments and environmental management
plans), at various stages of exploration and development. These
requirements will change as the Company’s operations develop.
There can be no assurance that the various approvals, authorisations,
licences and permits required for the Company to carry out exploration,
development and mining operations on the Muntanga Uranium Project
will be obtained on reasonable terms or at all or, if obtained, will not be
cancelled or renewed upon expiry in the future. In addition, there is no
assurance that such approvals, authorisations, licences and permits will
not contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect the
Company’s exploration and development activities and mining
operations.
Delays may occur in obtaining necessary renewals or modifications of
authorisations, approvals, licences and permits for existing or future
activities and operations, or additional or amended approvals,
authorisations, licences and permits associated with new legislation.
Such approvals, authorisations, licences and permits are subject to
changes in regulations and in various operating circumstances. Delay
or failure to obtain required approvals, authorisations, licences and
permits may materially affect the Company's business and prospects.

72

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Title in Annexure B for further
details.
Access and third-
party interests
Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by factors
such as land ownership, nature reserves, government regulation and
environmental restrictions. While mineral rights in Zambia are granted
through exploration or mining licences that authorise the holder to
undertake exploration and mining activities within a defined area,
securing and maintaining surface access is critical to the success of
exploration programs. The ability to negotiate satisfactory access or
compensation arrangements with landowners, farmers, and occupiers
is often essential to enable such activities to proceed without disruption.
Maintenance of
tenure
The continuation of the term of the Licences is subject to compliance
with the conditions of their grant under applicable mining legislation.
Failure to satisfy these conditions may result in the imposition of fees or
forfeiture of the Licences. While it is the Company’s intention to satisfy
the conditions that apply to the Licences, there can be no guarantees
made that, in the future, the conditions that apply to the Licences will
be satisfied.
Renewals Mining and exploration licences are subject to periodic renewal. The
renewal of the term of granted licences 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 Licences. 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.
Accordingly, the Company may, subject to compliance with the
regulatory requirements, seek to apply for renewal of the exploration
permits at the relevant time or lodge the necessary documentation to
apply for conversion to a mining permit. There is a risk that the Company
will not be able to comply with the relevant requirements to renew its
tenure or convert the tenure into mining permits.
The Company considers the likelihood of tenure forfeiture to be low
given the laws and regulations governing exploration in Africa and the
ongoing expenditure budgeted for by the Company. However, the
consequence of forfeiture or involuntary surrender of a granted Licence
for reasons beyond the control of the Company could be significant.
Please refer to the Solicitor’s Report on Title in Annexure B for further
details.
Mine development Possible future development of mining operations at the Muntanga
Uranium Project is dependent on a number of factors including, but not
limited to, the conversion of the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve,
receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and
parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and
operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production
activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment,
shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and
plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of
funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential
services.
If the Company commences production on Muntanga Uranium
Project, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards
which are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be
given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the
development of the Muntanga Uranium Project.
The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered
in full should the Muntanga Uranium Project reach that stage and will
be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.

73

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Mineral Resources
and Reserves
estimation
As set out in Section 7.1.5 and in section 4 of the Technical Assessment
Report, a Mineral Resource estimate has been reported on the area of
the Muntanga Uranium Project and on the other tenements held by
GoviEx and its subsidiaries. While the Company intends to undertake
additional exploration and development works with the aim of
improving confidence in the Mineral Resource estimate, expanding the
resources, converting the Mineral Resource estimate to an Ore Reserve
and assessing potential development options, no assurance can be
provided that ore can be economically extracted or that additional
resources will be identified.
Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on
knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were
valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new
information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very
nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to
some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. As
further information becomes available through additional fieldwork,
drilling and analysis, the estimates are likely to change.
The actual quality and characteristics of ore deposits cannot be known
until mining takes place and may differ from the assumptions used to
develop resources. Further, Ore Reserves are valued based on future
costs and future prices and, consequently, the actual Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves may differ from those estimated, which
may result in either a positive or negative effect on operations.
Insufficient
Resources or
Reserves
Additional expenditures will be required to increase the existing Mineral
Resource and convert it to an Ore Reserve, as well as establish other
Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimates, and to develop processes
to extract the minerals. No assurance can be given that minerals will be
discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or
that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely
basis or at all.
Uranium mining
regulations
Generally, exploration for uranium, and the development and
operation of uranium mines, are subject to more stringent and rigorous
approvals than for many other types of mining. Uranium mining and
exploration is subject to complex government legislation and
regulations. These regulate a wide range of uranium mining and
exploration activities, including but not limited to exploration,
prospecting, development, transportation, exporting, royalties and the
discharge of hazardous waste and materials. The cost of compliance
of such regulations ultimately increases the cost of exploration,
development and operation of uranium mines and closing of uranium
mines. There can be no guarantee that government policy towards
uranium mining will remain the same in the future.
Uranium mining
risks
The Company considers that the Muntanga Uranium Project has the
potential to host uranium mineralisation.
The Directors expect that the price of the Company's securities is likely
to be highly sensitive to fluctuations in the price of uranium. Historically,
fluctuations in these prices have been, and are expected to continue
to be, affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control.
Such factors include, among others: demand for nuclear power;
political and economic conditions in uranium producing and
consuming countries; public and political response to a nuclear
accident; improvements in nuclear reactor efficiencies; sales of excess
inventories by governments and industry participants; and production
levels and production costs in key uranium producing countries.
In addition, nuclear energy competes with other sources of energy like
oil, natural gas, coal and hydroelectricity. These sources are somewhat
interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term.
If lower prices of oil, natural gas, coal and hydroelectricity are sustained
over time, it may result in lower demand for uranium concentrates and
uranium conversion services,which,amongother things,could lead to

74

RISK CATEGORY RISK
lower uranium prices. Growth of the uranium and nuclear power
industry will also depend on continuing and growing public support for
nuclear
technology
to
generate
electricity.
Unique
political,
technological and environmental factors affect the nuclear industry,
exposing it to the risk of public opinion, which could have a negative
effect on the demand for nuclear power and increase the regulation
of the nuclear power industry. An accident at a nuclear reactor
anywhere in the world could affect acceptance of nuclear energy and
the future prospects for nuclear generation.
All of the above factors could have a material and adverse effect on
the Company's ability to obtain the required financing in the future or
to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company,
resulting in material and adverse effects on its exploration and
development programs, cash flow and financial condition.
New projects and
acquisitions
Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Muntanga
Uranium Project, as with most exploration and development entities, it
will pursue and assess other new acquisition and investment
opportunities in the resource sector over time that are complementary
to its business.
These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project
acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/mineral
properties/permits and/or direct equity participation.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the
payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only
limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due
diligence. There can be no guarantee that any Proposed Transaction
will be completed or be successful. If the Proposed Transaction is not
completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that
time the funding allocated to the Muntanga Uranium Project and new
projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the
Muntanga Uranium Project and/or raising additional capital (if
available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may
proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks
associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
Agents and
contractors
The Company intends to outsource substantial parts of its exploration
and development activities to third party contractors. In addition, the
general operations of the Company will also require involvement with a
number of third parties including for equipment, road freight, logistics,
port and sea freight, as well as suppliers and customers. The Company
is yet to enter into these formal arrangements. The Directors are unable
to predict the risk of financial failure or insolvency of default, or other
managerial failure by any of the contractors that are used by the
Company in any of its activities. Contractors may also underperform
their obligations, and in the event that their contract is terminated, the
Company may not be able to find a suitable replacement in a timely
manner or on satisfactory terms. It is not possible for the Company to
protect itself against all such risks.
Future profitability The Company is currently in the growth stage of its development and
will not immediately generate an income. The Company’s future
financial performance will be impacted by, among other things, the
success of its mining activities, economic conditions in the markets in
which
it
operate,
competition
factors
and
any
regulatory
developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits (if any) and the
time required to achieve sustained profitability are uncertain and
cannot be reliably predicted.

75

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Management of
growth
There is a risk that management of the Company will not be able to
implement its growth strategy after completion of the Proposed
Transaction. The capacity of the Company’s management to properly
implement the strategic direction of the Company (and its subsidiaries)
may affect the Company’s financial performance.
Economic, Political
and Social Context
in Africa
The Company’s success in Africa may be impacted by economic
performance and political stability. Changes in government policies
such as tax, environmental, mining, or royalty regulations can introduce
costs, delays, or risks, potentially affecting the Company’s operations
and financial condition. The Company monitors these developments to
manage potential impacts.
Sovereign risk The Muntanga Uranium Project is located in the Republic of Zambia,
Africa. Following Completion, the Company’s operations in the
Republic of Zambia are exposed to various levels of political, economic
and other risks and uncertainties and any changes in the political or
economic climate in the Republic of Zambia or neighbouring countries
may adversely affect the Company’s exploration activities and
operations.
These risks and uncertainties vary from time to time and include without
limitation: labour disputes, invalidation of governmental orders and
permits, uncertain political and economic environments, nationalistic
agendas, potential for bribery and corruption, high risk of inflation,
currency devaluation, high interest rates, war (including in neighbouring
states), military repression, civil disturbances and terrorist actions,
arbitrary changes in laws or policies, consents, rejections or waivers
granted, corruption, arbitrary foreign taxation, delays in obtaining or the
inability to obtain necessary governmental permits, opposition to
mining from environ-mental or other non-governmental organisations,
limitations on foreign ownership, difficulty obtaining key equipment and
components for equipment and inadequate infrastructure.
Changes to government laws and regulations may bring additional
sovereign risk which include, without limitation, changes in the terms of
mining legislation including renewal and continuity of tenure of permits,
transfer of ownership of acquired permits to Company, changes to
royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and concessions,
restrictions on foreign ownership and foreign exchange, changing
political conditions, changing mining and investment policies and
changes in the ability to enforce legal rights.
Additionally, any unforeseen changes to the mining laws, regulations,
standards and practices could significantly affect the exploration at the
Muntanga Uranium Project and the Company’s ability to execute its
business plans.
These risks may limit or disrupt the Company’s operations and
exploration activities, restrict the movement of funds or result in the
deprivation of contractual rights or the taking of property by
nationalisation or expropriation without fair compensation, all of which
may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
There can be no assurance as to the future legal, political or economic
stability of Zambia, Niger, or any other country in which the Company
may, in the future, have an interest.
Control Following Completion, Menel Energy is expected to hold voting power
of up to 9.42% in the Company, while Proposed Director Eric Krafft’s may
hold voting power of up to 6.30%, on an undiluted basis and assuming
the Minimum Subscription is achieved.
Accordingly, Menel Energy and Mr Krafft will each hold significant
interests in the capital of the Company meaning that both parties will
be in a position to potentially influence the election of directors and the
financial decisions of the Company, and their interests may not align
with those of all other Shareholders. Further details in respect of the
interests of Menel Energy and Mr Krafft, respectively, are set out in
Section 6.3.

76

9.4 Industry specific risks

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Climate There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the
operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate
change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
(a)
the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated
with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market
changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company
may be impacted by changes to local or international
compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation
efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon
emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit
amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may
further impact the Company and its business viability. While
the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit
any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that
the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences;
and
(b)
climate
change
may
cause
certain
physical
and
environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the
Company, including events such as increased severity of
weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events
and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate
patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may
significantly change the industry in which the Company
operates.
Nature of mineral
exploration and
mining
The business of mineral exploration, development and production is
subject to a high level of risk. Mineral exploration and development
require large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time
with no guarantee of revenue, and exploration and development
activities may be deterred by circumstances and factors beyond the
Company’s control.
There can be no assurance that exploration and development at the
Muntanga Uranium Project, or any other projects that may be acquired
by the Company in the future, will result in the Mineral Resource being
increased and/or the discovery of mineral deposits which are capable
of being exploited economically. In particular, there is a risk that,
following further exploration and resource drilling at the Muntanga
Uranium Project, the Company will not be able to increase the quantity
of the existing Mineral Resource.
Even if the Mineral Resource is increased or other significant mineral
deposits are identified, there can be no guarantee that any of them
can be commercialised and profitably exploited. In addition, the
Mineral Resource may become depleted, resulting in a reduction of the
value of the Licences.
Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a
number of factors. The combination of these factors may result in the
Company expending significant resources (financial and otherwise)
without receiving a return. There is no certainty that expenditures made
by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral
deposits will result in discoveries of an economically viable mineral
deposit.
The future exploration and development 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,spareparts, plant,

77

RISK CATEGORY RISK
equipment and staff, 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 Licences forming the Muntanga
Uranium Project, or any other projects that may be acquired by the
Company in the future and obtaining all required approvals for their
contemplated
activities.
In
the
event
that
exploration
and
development programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a
diminution in the value of the Muntanga Uranium Project, a reduction
in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of one
or more of the Licences forming the Muntanga Uranium Project.
Whether positive income flows ultimately result from exploration and
development expenditure incurred by the Company is dependent on
many factors such as successful exploration and development,
establishment of production facilities, cost control, commodity price
movements, successful contract negotiations for production and
stability in the local political environment.
Exploration costs The exploration costs of the Company as summarised in Section 7.4.2
are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and
timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions
are subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly, the actual costs
may materially differ from the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly,
no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying
assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and
adversely impact the Company’s viability.
Furthermore, the Company may be subject to significant unforeseen
expenses or actions, which may include unplanned operating
expenses, future legal actions or expenses in relation to future
unforeseen events. The Directors expect that the Company will have
adequate working capital to carry out its stated objectives. However,
there is the risk that additional funds may be required to fund the
Company’s future objectives.
Grant of future
authorisations to
explore and mine
If the Company determines that there is an economically viable mineral
deposit that it then intends to develop, it will, among other things,
require various approvals, licences and permits before it will be able to
mine the deposit. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able
to obtain all required approvals, licenses and permits. To the extent that
required authorisations are not obtained or are delayed, the
Company’s operational and financial performance may be materially
adversely affected.
Environmental The minerals and mining industry has become subject to increasing
environmental regulations and liability.
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to
extensive laws and regulations (specifically, under Zambian law)
concerning the environment. If such laws or regulations are breached
or modified, the Company could be required to cease its operations
and/or incur significant liabilities including penalties, due to past or
future activities.
As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the
Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the
environment,
particularly
if
advanced
exploration
or
mine
development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its
activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including
compliance with all environmental laws.
Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with
safety and damage to the environment and the disposal of waste
products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production.
The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could
delay production or increase production costs. Events, such as
unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company’s
ongoingcompliance with environmental legislation,regulations and

78

RISK CATEGORY RISK
licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for
damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges
into the environment, environmental damage caused by previous
operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.
The disposal of mining and process waste and mine water discharge
are under constant legislative scrutiny and regulation. There is a risk that
environmental laws and regulations become more onerous making the
Company’s operations more expensive.
Approvals are required for land clearing and for ground disturbing
activities. Delays in obtaining such approvals can result in the delay to
anticipated exploration programs or mining activities.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable
environmental laws and regulations and future permitting as may be
required may limit the Company from being able to develop potentially
economically viable mineral deposits and consequently affect the
value of the Muntanga Uranium Project.
Regulatory
compliance
The Company’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and
regulations (specifically, under Zambian law) relating to numerous
matters including resource licence consent, environmental compliance
and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker
safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, culture and
heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species
and other matters. The Company requires permits from regulatory
authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate
to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
While the Company believes that it will operate in substantial
compliance with all material current laws and 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 or its properties, which could
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s current exploration
or development activities.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and
there is a risk that Company will not obtain these permits 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 materially delay or restrict the
Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the
operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could
result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases,
failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture
of one or more of the Licences (or any other licences the Company
may acquire in the future).
Metallurgy Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical
process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a
saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such
as:
(a)
risks associated with identifying a suitable metallurgical process
through test work that produces a saleable metal and/or
concentrate;
(b)
risks associated with developing an economic process route to
produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
(c)
changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in
unexpected and inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the
economic viability of a project.
Operating and
production risks
The Company’s ability to achieve production on a timely basis cannot
be assured and the operations of the Company may be affected by
various factors that are beyond the control of the Company. These
factors include failure to identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve
predictedgrades in exploration or mining,ore tonnes, grade,mining

79

RISK CATEGORY RISK
recovery, mass recovery, input prices (some of which are
unpredictable and outside the control of the Company), overall
availability of free cash to fund continuing exploration and
development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, changes
in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies. The
Company’s operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and
hazards which are beyond its control, such as environmental hazards
(including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), flooding
and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather
conditions and fires, industrial accidents, occupational and health
hazards and slope failures. Such occurrences could result in damage
to, or destruction of, equipment, 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 the mine. The Company may become subject to liability
for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot
insure.
In addition, the Company’s profitability could be adversely affected if
for any reason its exploration, mine development or production and
processing of ore is unexpectedly interrupted or slowed. Examples of
events which could have such an impact include unanticipated
technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and
production activities, unscheduled plant shutdowns or other processing
problems, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment,
shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and
plant and equipment, pit slope failures, explosions or accidents, unusual
or unexpected rock formations, poor or unexpected geological or
metallurgical conditions, failure of mine communications systems,
insufficient water or poor water conditions, interruptions to fuel or
electricity supplies, human error and adverse weather conditions. No
assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial
viability through the development or mining of the Muntanga Uranium
Project or the treatment and sale of uranium.
These factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and, if
they occur, may have an adverse effect on the financial performance
of the Company and the value of its assets.
Infrastructure Exploration, development and processing activities depend, to one
degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges,
power sources and water supply are important elements of
infrastructure, which affect access, capital and operating costs. The
lack of availability on acceptable terms or the delay in the availability
of any one or more of these items could prevent or delay exploration or
development of the Muntanga Uranium Project (or other projects the
Company may acquire in the future). If adequate infrastructure is not
available in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that the
exploration or development of the Muntanga Uranium Project will
commence or be completed on a timely basis, if at all. Furthermore,
unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or
other interference in the maintenance or provision of necessary
infrastructure could adversely affect operations.
International
operations
The Company initially intends to operate in Africa. However, the
Company
may
also
consider
expanding
into
other
markets
internationally in the future. Therefore, the Company will be exposed to
risks relating to operating in those countries. Many of these risks are
inherent in doing business internationally, and will include, but are not
limited to:
(a)
changes in the regulatory environment or legal system;
(b)
trade barriers or the imposition of taxes;
(c)
difficulties with staffing or managing any foreign operations;
(d)
issues or restrictions on the free transfer of funds;
(e)
technology export or import restrictions; and

80

RISK CATEGORY RISK
(f)
delays in dealing across borders caused by customers or
regulatory authorities.
Social License to
Operate
Maintaining a social licence to operate is critical for the Company’s
exploration and future mining activities, particularly in regions where
local communities and stakeholders are directly impacted. This involves
adhering to ESG standards, engaging in transparent and proactive
communication, and mitigating adverse social or environmental
impacts. Failure to meet these expectations can result in community
opposition, reputational harm, and potential legal disputes, including
claims related to environmental damage, land rights, or insufficient
stakeholder consultation. Additionally, failure to comply with applicable
regulations or international standards may lead to regulatory penalties,
project delays, or revocation of permits, all of which could adversely
impact the Company’s operations and financial condition.
Operating Hazards
and Risks
The ownership, exploration, operation and development of a mine or
mineral property involves many risks which even a combination of
experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to
overcome. These risks include environmental hazards, industrial
accidents, explosions and third-party accidents, the encountering of
unusual or unexpected geological formations, ground falls and cave-
ins, mechanical failure, unforeseen metallurgical difficulties, power
interruptions, flooding, earthquakes and periodic interruptions due to
inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These occurrences could
result in environmental damage and liabilities, work stoppages,
delayed production and resultant losses, increased production costs,
damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities
and resultant losses, personal injury or death and resultant losses, asset
write downs, monetary losses, claims for compensation for loss of life
and/or damages by third parties in connection with accidents (for loss
of life and/or damages and related pain and suffering) that occur on
Company property or associated Company activities, and punitive
awards in connection with those claims and other liabilities. Any such
occurrences could also have a material adverse impact on the
Company’s reputation and attract negative sentiment from the
government and local communities.

9.5 General risks

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Future funding
requirements and
the ability to access
debt and equity
markets
The funds raised under the Public Offer are considered sufficient to
meet the exploration and evaluation objectives of the Company as
described in this Prospectus. Additional funding may be required in the
event exploration costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to
effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to
take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other
business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or
expenses which the Company may incur.
In addition, should the Company consider that its exploration results
justify commencement of production on the Muntanga Uranium
Project, or any other licences acquired in the future, additional funding
will be required to implement the Company’s development plans, the
quantum of which remain unknown at the date of this Prospectus.
The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt
financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other
means.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and
future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of
exploration, development or production on the Company’s properties
or even loss of a property interest. There can be no assurance that
additional finance will be available when needed or,if available,the

81

RISK CATEGORY RISK
terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and
might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
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 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.
Specifically, it should be noted that the current evolving conflicts
including between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East may
impact global macroeconomics and markets generally. The nature
and extent of the effect of this conflict on the performance of the
Company and the value of the Shares remains unknown. The trading
price of the Shares may be adversely affected in the short to medium
term by the economic uncertainty caused by conflicts and overall
impacts on global macroeconomics. Given these situations are
continually evolving, the outcomes and consequences are inevitably
uncertain.
Competition The mining industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to
intense domestic and global competition.
The Company’s ability to compete depends on, among other things,
knowledgeable personnel, high product quality and competitive
pricing. Increased competition may require the Company to reduce
prices or increase costs and may have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition and results of operations.
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,
whose activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the
operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and
business. Some of the Company’s competitors have greater financial
and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a
better position to compete for future business opportunities. Some of
the Company’s competitors not only explore for and produce uranium,
but also carry out refining operations and other products on a
worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can
compete effectively with these companies.

82

RISK CATEGORY RISK
Currently no market There is currently no public market for the Company’s Shares, the price
of its Shares is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance
that an active market for the Company’s Shares will develop or
continue after the Public Offer.
The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on the ASX after listing
may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under this
Prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in response to
variations in operating performance and general operations and
business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the
Directors and the Company have no control, such as movements in
mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to government policy,
legislation or regulation and other events or factors.
There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s
Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There
may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares
on the ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the
market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price
at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in
Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or
below the price that Shareholders paid.
Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s Shares
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)
global health epidemics or pandemics;
(e)
currency fluctuations;
(f)
changes in investor sentiment toward particular market
sectors;
(g)
the demand for, and supply of, capital;
(h)
political tensions; and
(i)
terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of Shares 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.
Potential investors should be aware that there are risks associated with
any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in
particular securities of exploration companies experience extreme
price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the
operating performance of such companies. These factors may
materially affect the market price of the shares regardless of the
Company’s performance.
In addition, after the end of the relevant escrow periods affecting
Shares in the Company, a significant sale of then tradeable Shares (or
the market perception that such a sale might occur) could have an
adverse effect on the Company’s Share price. Please refer to Section
6.4 for further details on the Shares likely to be classified by the ASX as
restricted securities.
Commodity price
volatility and
exchange rate
To the extent the Company is involved in mineral production, the
revenue derived through the sale of commodities may expose the
potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange
rate risks.
The Licences are primarily prospective for uranium. The prices of
uranium and other minerals fluctuate widely and are affected by
numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, such as
industrial and retail supplyand demand,technological advancements,

83

RISK CATEGORY RISK
exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies,
confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales by producers
and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or
economic events. Future serious price declines in the market values of
the minerals that the Company has exposure to could cause the
development of, and eventually the commercial production from, the
Licences to be rendered uneconomic. Depending on the prices of
commodities, the Company could be forced to discontinue production
or development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell,
some of its properties. There is no assurance that, even as commercial
quantities of uranium are produced, a profitable market will exist for it.
Furthermore,
international
prices
of
various
commodities
are
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. The Company may
undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board, to
mitigate such risks.
In addition to adversely affecting any potential future reserve estimates
of the Company and its financial condition, declining commodity prices
can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of
a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a
management
decision
or
may be required under
financing
arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is
ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct
such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt
operations until the reassessment can be completed.
In addition to the risks associated with exploration for uranium, the
Company may face additional commodity specific risks in connection
with the market for and price of other commodities, to the extent that
the Company engages in exploration for and ultimately production of
these commodities.
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
the Republic of Zambia in Africa (and other jurisdictions in which the
Company may acquire projects and operate) 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 Muntanga Uranium Project 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.
Dilution In the future, the Company may elect to issue Shares or engage in
capital raisings to fund operations and growth, for investments or
acquisitions that the Company may decide to undertake, to repay
debt or for any other reason the Board may determine at the relevant
time.

84

RISK CATEGORY RISK
While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing
Rules regarding the percentage of its capital that it is able to issue within
a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), Shareholder
interests may be diluted as a result of such issues of Shares or other
securities.
Taxation Taxation law is complex and frequently changing, both prospectively
and retrospectively.
Zambian tax reform could materially impact the Company’s future
profitability and returns to shareholders.
Changes in Australian taxation laws (including employment tax, GST,
stamp duty and the ability to claim offsets) and changes in the way
taxation laws are interpreted or administered, create a degree of
uncertainty and may impact the tax liabilities or future financial results
of the Company. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may
change.
The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences,
which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each
investor. All potential 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 Shares
under this Prospectus.
Litigation The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including tenure
disputes, environmental claims, 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, reputation, financial performance and
financial position. The Company and its subsidiaries are not currently
engaged in any litigation.
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.
Health and safety The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of industry-specific
health and safety laws and regulations which are formulated to
improve and to protect the safety and health of personnel, contractors
and visitors. Mining operations have inherent risks and hazards and
those risks and hazards are not able to be completely eliminated. While
the Company will seek to implement best practice procedures in
occupational health and safety, the occurrence of any industrial
accidents, workplace injuries or fatalities may result in workers’
compensation claims, related common law claims and potential
occupational health and safety prosecutions. In addition, any such
incidents may also adversely affect the Company’s reputation.

10.6 Corporate governance

(a) ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance.

The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council ( Recommendations ).

In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company.

As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are outlined below and the Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company’s website: www.tombadoriron.com.

(b) Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company.

The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

  • (i) maintain and increase Shareholder value;

  • (ii) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities consistent with the Company’s stated values; and

  • (iii) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

  • (i) leading and setting the strategic direction, values and objectives of the Company;

  • (ii) appointing the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer and approving the appointment of senior executives and the Company Secretary;

  • (iii) overseeing the implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives, values, code of conduct and performance generally;

  • (iv) approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and significant acquisitions and divestitures;

91

  • (v) overseeing the integrity of the Company’s accounting and corporate reporting systems, including any external audit (satisfying itself financial statements released to the market fairly and accurately reflect the Company’s financial position and performance);

  • (vi) establishing procedures for verifying the integrity of those periodic reports which are not audited or reviewed by an external auditor, to ensure that each periodic report is materially accurate, balanced and provides investors with appropriate information to make informed investment decisions;

  • (vii) overseeing the Company’s procedures and processes for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities;

  • (viii) reviewing and ratifying systems of audit, risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of conduct and legal compliance to minimise the possibility of the Company operating beyond acceptable risk parameters; and

  • (ix) approving the Company’s remuneration framework and ensuring it is aligned with the Company’s purpose, values, strategic objectives and risk appetite.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

(c) Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting, subject to the following:

  • (i) membership of the Board of Directors will be reviewed regularly to ensure the mix of skills and expertise is appropriate; and

  • (ii) the composition of the Board has been structured so as to provide the Company with an adequate mix of directors with industry knowledge, technical, commercial and financial skills together with integrity and judgment considered necessary to represent Shareholders and fulfil the business objectives and values of the Company as well as to deal with new and emerging business and governance issues.

The Board currently consists of four (4) Directors (two (2) non-executive Directors, one (1) non-executive Chairman and one (1) executive Director) of whom David Chapman and Anna Neuling are considered independent.

Upon Completion, it is proposed that the Board will consist of four (4) Directors (three (3) non-executive Directors and one (1) non-executive Chairman) of whom one (1) is considered independent. The Board considers the balance of skills and expertise of the proposed Board to be appropriate given the Company’s size and its currently planned level of activity.

To assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the Board’s mix of qualifications, experience and expertise, the Board intends to maintain a Board Skills Matrix to ensure that the Board has the skills to discharge its obligations effectively and to add value.

The Board undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person as a Director or putting forward to Shareholders a candidate for election as a Director or senior executive.

The Board ensures that Shareholders are provided with all material information in the Board’s possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director.

92

The Company shall develop and implement a formal induction program for Directors, which is tailored to their existing skills, knowledge and experience.

The purpose of this program is to allow new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity, and to enable new directors to gain an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures.

The Board maintains oversight and responsibility for the Company’s continual monitoring of its diversity practices.

The Company’s Diversity Policy provides a framework for the Company to achieve enhanced recruitment practices whereby the best person for the job is employed, which requires the consideration of a broad and diverse pool of talent.

(d)

Identification and management of risk

The Board’s collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business.

Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

(e)

Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards and to conducting all of the Company’s business activities fairly, honestly, with integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

In particular, the Company and the Board are committed to preventing any form of bribery or corruption and to upholding all laws relevant to these issues as set out in in the Company’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy.

In addition, the Company encourages reporting of actual and suspected violations of the Company’s Code of Conduct or other instances of illegal, unethical or improper conduct.

The Company and the Board provide effective protection from victimisation or dismissal to those reporting such conduct as set out in its Whistleblower Protection Policy.

(f)

Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

(g)

Remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of an executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

In accordance with the Constitution, the total maximum remuneration of nonexecutive Directors is initially set by the Board and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meetings in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable.

The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $350,000 per annum.

In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts, for example (subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) non-cash performance incentives such as options as the Directors determine, where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.

93

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility.

The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equitybased plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

(h) Trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e., Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the managing director).

The policy generally provides that, the written acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.

(i) External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company. From time to time, the Board will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

(j) Audit committee

The Company will not have a separate audit committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to:

(i) monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance;

(ii) verifying the integrity of those periodic reports which are not audited or reviewed by an external auditor; and

  • (iii) monitoring and reviewing the Company’s internal audit and financial control system, risk management systems.

(k) Diversity policy

The Company is committed to workplace diversity.

The Company is committed to inclusion at all levels of the organisation, regardless of gender, marital or family status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disabilities, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural background, socio-economic background, perspective and experience.

The Board has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for the Company to achieve, amongst other things, a diverse and skilled workforce, a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all staff, improved employment and career development opportunities for women and a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

(l) Departures from Recommendations

Under the ASX Listing Rules the Company will be required to provide a statement in its annual financial report or on its website disclosing the extent to which it has followed the Recommendations during each reporting period.

94

Where the Company has not followed a Recommendation, it must identify the Recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following it.

The Company’s compliance with and departures from the Recommendations will also be announced prior to re-admission.

10.7 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Underpinning the business model of the Company is a commitment to sustainability through adherence to high standards of Environmental Social Governance ( ESG ). The Company aspires to have industry leading credentials in ESG with a focus on:

  • (a) Environment – the Company is committed to safeguarding the environment and managing potential impacts on water, land and air quality.

  • (b) Climate Change – the Company recognises that climate change is a shared global challenge that requires collective action between business, government and society. The Company supports the move to a low emission economy to reduce future climate change impacts and avoid increasing their severity.

  • (c) Social – strong community relationships are the foundation of our social licence to operate and we aim to make a meaningful contribution to the communities in the regions where our projects are located.

  • (d) People - we aim to create an inclusive and supportive workplace, where people are empowered and aligned. Our future success and ability to execute our strategic plan depends on attracting and retaining the right people with the right skills.

  • (e) Governance – we support on-going development of good corporate governance and believe that high standards of governance create a corporate culture that values integrity and ethical behaviour. Strong, effective governance is essential for earning the trust of our stakeholders.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company and its subsidiaries are not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

12.2 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 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 him, or in respect of which he is 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

109

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 he 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 contributories 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.

12.5 Employee Incentive Securities Plan

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval at the General Meeting for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Plan ) and for

114

the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 19,051,476 Securities under the Plan.

The Company has not issued any Securities under the Plan as this will be the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan.

The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is 19,051,476 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately. The Company may also seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in the ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

A summary of the principal terms of the Company’s Employee Incentive Securities Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.

Eligible Participant Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’ (as that
term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in
relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined
in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be
eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:
(a)
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
(b)
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
(c)
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the
Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies
Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants
to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of
Securities.
Maximum number
of Convertible
Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves
monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or
acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an
invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that
may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year
period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total
number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the
Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits
approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under
the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exemption 13(a)), following
Shareholder approval, is 19,051,476 Securities. It is not envisaged that the
maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately.
Plan
administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any
power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and
absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant
relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its
powers and discretion.
Eligibility,
invitation and
application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant
may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible
Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities
provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board
decides.

115

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the
Securities which are the subject of the invitation by sending a completed
application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application
from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible
Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in
whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
Grant of Securities The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed
application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of
Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the
Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan
Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a
Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any
Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as
expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting
of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(d)

Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned,
transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with
unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in
the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the
consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be
exercisable on terms determined by the Board.
A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging
their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted
to them.
Vesting of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be
described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or
otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the
Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant
Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is
issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered
to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions
relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise
waived by the Board, that security will lapse.
Forfeiture of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:
(a)
in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the
holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with
the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as
defined in the Corporations Act) (theGroup);
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently,
in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their
duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to
deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a
Participant to have been forfeited;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)

Listing of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the
ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its
absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities
granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Exercise of
Convertible
Securities and
cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of
exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next
paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the
Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if
subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the
invitation or vesting notice.
In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying
the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the
Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby
the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded
down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the
following formula:
S=O*
(MVS-EP)
MVS
Where:
S =
number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options.
O =
number of Options being exercised.
MVS =
market value of shares, being the volume weighted
average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five
trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise.
EP =
Exercise Price of the Options.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or
negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise.
Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security
has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set
out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares and
quotation of
Shares on
exercise
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a
Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that
Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under
the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining
unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
Restriction periods
and restrictions on
transfer of Shares
on exercise
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of
a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or
other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement
any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the
Participant with this restriction.
Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice
that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act,
Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not
be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company,
at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to
section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act;
(b)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in
Shares by persons who possess material information likely to
affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally

subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Rights attaching to
Shares on
exercise

in all respects with the then Shares of the Company.

117

Change of control If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any
person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50%
of the Company’s issued capital), the Board may in its discretion
determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Convertible
Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that
allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction
arising from or in connection with the change of control event. The Board
may specify in the Invitation how the Convertible Securities will be treated
on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that
such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon
circumstances in which the Participant becomes a leaver and preserve
some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule.
Participation in
entitlements and
bonus issues
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs,
Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital
offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
Adjustment for
bonus issue
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than
an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the
Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to
receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued
to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in
respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Reorganisation If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including
any
subdivision,
consolidation,
reduction,
return
or
cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each
Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent
necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a
reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
Buy-Back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back
Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share
Trust
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share
trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible
Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of
holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Amendment of
Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend
any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms
and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the
Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given
retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they
existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment
introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to
correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or as agreed to
in writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The
Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed
period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension
must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing
that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be
cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular
event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed
between the Company and the Participant.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act)
except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.

Executive Summary

Valuation and Resource Management Pty Ltd ( VRM ) was engaged by Tombador Iron Limited (ASX: TI1) ( Tombador or the Company ) to prepare a Technical Assessment Report ( TAR or Report ), on the Mineral Assets involved in the transaction whereby Tombador will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) ( GoviEx ) through a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ( BCABC ) (the Arrangement or Acquisition or Transaction ). The transaction will create a new ASX-listed mineral resource company (the Merged Company ) (subject to shareholder approval). The report is to be included in a re-compliance Prospectus issued by Tombador for a Public Offer ( PO ) related to a re-compliance listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Tombador aims to raise A$5.0 million (before costs) (Minimum Subscription) with the option to accept oversubscriptions up to an additional A$5.0 million (before costs) (Maximum Subscription) through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares (Tombador Shares) (Capital Raising).

This Report has been prepared as a public document, in the format of a Specialist’s Report and in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – the 2015 VALMIN Code ( VALMIN ) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code ( JORC ).

This Report is a technical review of the Mineral Assets involved in the Proposed Transaction, which includes the 100% GoviEx-owned Muntanga Uranium Project (the Project ) in the Republic of Zambia. The Project covers a combined area of approximately 1,100 km[2] .

The Merged Company is committed to systematic exploration and development of the associated tenement portfolio and has an experienced exploration and development team. The proposed ASX listing seeks to raise funds to advance exploration on the uranium-prospective ground.

Muntanga Uranium Project

The Muntanga Uranium Project is located approximately 200 km south of Lusaka in the southeastern region of Zambia, in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts. Currently, GoviEx owns 100% of the project.

The Project consists of six (6) licences, covering an area of approximately 1100 km[2] which includes four mining licences and two (2) exploration licences.

Mineral Resource estimates were reported by Tombador in an ASX announcement dated 18 August 2025. These estimates were prepared by Jerome Randabel, who is a full-time employee of GoviEx and reported applying the guidelines of JORC, described further in Section 4.

The 2024 Mineral Resource estimates supersede the previously reported estimates. Discussion of the previously reported estimates is provided within the body of the Report and additional information can be found by reviewing the required JORC Code Table 1, Sections 1 to 3 included in the Tombador ASX announcement of 18 August 2025.

The Project is geologically situated on the northwestern edge of the mid-Zambezi Rift Basin, which consists of sediments from the Karoo Supergroup – a thick terrestrial sedimentary layer dating from the Carboniferous to late Triassic period – and hosts a substantial sandstone-hosted uranium province.

1

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Uranium mineralisation occurs within the Karoo Supergroup and is described as a sandstone-hosted fluvial channel-type deposit. Known uranium mineralisation typically occurs within sandstones of the Escarpment Grit Formation near the basin margin.

Proposed Budgets

Tombador has proposed an exploration budget of approximately $8.4 million, with the potential to increase it to about $12.9 million (assuming the Maximum Subscription is raised) to advance uranium exploration within the tenements. This amount, along with project development costs of $3.9 million, represent the primary use of funds from the proposed capital raising. The funds raised in this Prospectus will therefore be allocated accordingly, along with other commitments as detailed in the 'Use of funds raised under the Offer' table in the main body of the Prospectus.

VRM has reviewed the budgets and work programmes and believes that uranium mineralisation and prospectivity justify additional work. They consider the budgets reasonable, appropriate, and aligned with current exploration costs. The budgets are sufficient to meet the minimum exploration expenditure commitments necessary to retain tenure. VRM considers that the tenure and the identified exploration potential have sufficient technical merit to justify the proposed programs and associated expenditure, and it is likely that ongoing, targeted, and systematic exploration activities are justified and could potentially uncover additional mineralisation. VRM recommends that these ongoing exploration programs proceed.

A summary of the exploration strategy is presented in Section 6 and funding in Section 8. VRM has confirmed with Tombador that its Board believes that the funds raised will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives, maintain the tenements in good standing by meeting or exceeding tenement expenditure commitments and satisfy the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

Conclusions

Subject to successful listing, Tombador will hold key prospective areas within permissive geology in the southern region of Zambia. The Company is focused on continuing uranium exploration and potential future development at the Muntanga Uranium Project, which is in an area of known uranium mineralisation within the current mining licences.

The Minister of Mines and Mineral Development in Zambia has a strategic plan to diversify its mining industry, and promote important minerals like uranium, which is becoming more significant in the global move towards clean energy (The Ministry of Mines and Minerals, Strategic Plan 2022-2026). In this context, the Project is well-positioned to benefit from the government’s diversification efforts and sector support. The Project has valid mining licences, and the Company is committed to advancing its potential development (ASX Announcement, 18 August 2025).

VRM notes that the Project comprises prospect areas that range from early to pre-development stage exploration properties with reported Mineral Resource estimates. It is uncertain if the proposed exploration programs would result in additional Mineral Resource estimates being reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code. However, several prospects containing uranium mineralisation are adjacent to or along strike or trend from known uranium mineral systems. Whilst there are no operating uranium mines in Zambia, the Muntanga Project area has been actively explored by previous owners, with encouraging exploration results, and these represent high-quality prospects for further exploration and potential future development.

1. Introduction

Valuation and Resource Management Pty Ltd ( VRM ) was engaged by Tombador Iron Limited (ASX: TI1) ( Tombador or the Company ) to prepare a Technical Assessment Report ( TAR or Report ), on the Mineral Assets involved in the transaction whereby Tombador will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) ( GoviEx ) through a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ( BCABC ) (the Arrangement or Acquisition ). The transaction will create a new ASX-listed mineral resource company (subject to shareholder approval) which will focus on exploration and development of the Muntanga Uranium Project in the Republic of Zambia.

The report is to be included in a prospectus issued by Tombador for a public offering related to a proposed compliance relisting on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Tombador aims to raise A$5.0 million (before costs) (Minimum Subscription) with the option to accept oversubscriptions up to an additional A$5.0 million (before costs) (Maximum Subscription) through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares (Tombador Shares) ( Capital Raising ).

The Mineral Assets covered in this Report are collectively known as the Muntanga Uranium Project ( Muntanga or the Project ), which comprises several mining and exploration licences for uranium, held 100% by GoviEx and are located in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts in the southeastern region of Zambia.

1.1 Reporting Compliance

In preparing this Report, VRM has adhered to the guidelines and principles of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – 2015 VALMIN Code ( VALMIN ) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code ( JORC ). Both industry codes are mandatory for all members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy ( AusIMM ) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists ( AIG ). Furthermore, these codes are also requirements under the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) rules and guidelines, as well as the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).

This Technical Assessment is a Public Report as described in the VALMIN Code (Clause 5) and the JORC Code (Clause 9). It is based on, and fairly reflects, the information and supporting documentation provided by Tombador, GoviEx, and associated Competent Persons, as referenced in this Report, as well as additional publicly available information.

1.2 Scope of Work

VRM’s primary obligation in preparing this Report is to independently describe GoviEx's Zambian asset portfolio using JORC and VALMIN guidelines. These require the report to include all relevant information as of the date of disclosure, which investors and their professional advisors would reasonably need to make a well-informed and balanced judgement about the Projects.

VRM has compiled the report based on the principle of reviewing and interrogating the documentation of the involved companies and their consultants, along with other previous exploration in the area. This report summarises the work conducted, completed, and reported by GoviEx and Tombador up to August 2025, relying on information supplied to VRM by both companies and other information sourced from the public domain, as required by VALMIN and JORC.

3

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

VRM understands that its review and report will be included in a Prospectus, and as such, it is understood that VRM’s review will be a public document. Accordingly, this report has been prepared in accordance with VALMIN's requirements.

Much of this report relies on information provided by Tombador, along with publicly available data, including ASX releases and information obtained from various companies, government geological surveys, databases, and published articles. VRM has made all reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy, validity, and completeness of the technical data forming the basis of this report. The opinions and statements expressed are given in good faith and are believed to be accurate and not misleading.

1.3 Statement of Independence

VRM was engaged to undertake a Technical Assessment on the Muntanga Uranium mineral asset. This work was carried out in accordance with the principles of the JORC and VALMIN Codes, which reference ASIC Regulatory guide 111 Content of expert reports ( RG111) and ASIC Regulatory guide 112 Independence of Experts ( RG112 ).

Ms Deborah Lord of VRM or VRM associates, who have contributed to this report, have not had any association with Tombador or GoviEx, its individual employees, or any interest in the securities of the companies, that could be regarded as affecting their ability to give an independent, objective, and unbiased opinion. VRM will receive a fee for this work based on standard commercial rates for professional services. This fee is not contingent on the results of this review and is estimated to be approximately $50,000 (plus GST).

Mr Jerome Randabel, the Competent Person who has undertaken the Muntanga Uranium Mineral Resource estimates that have been incorporated into this Report is a full-time employee of GoviEx and is therefore not considered by VRM to be independent of Tombador.

2. Property Description

2.1 Location, Access and Utilities

The Muntanga Uranium Project is located approximately 200 km south of Lusaka in the southeastern region of Zambia, in the Siavonga and Chirundu Districts (Figure 1). The northern extent of the Project, where Gwabi and Njame deposits are situated, is near the Zimbabwe border, approximately 100 km southeast of the Zambian capital, Lusaka, and close to the town of Chirundu. The prospect areas extend south towards Siavonga and along the northern edge of Lake Kariba to Kariba Valley in the southernmost extent. The Kariba Valley (Chisebuka) uranium project, further south, is approximately 180 km south of Lusaka.

Sealed roads run between Lusaka, Chirundu, and Siavonga; however, the Project is accessed via gravel tracks, and four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.

No powerlines exist within the Project area, and many local villages are not connected to the national power grid, instead relying on wood and kerosene for power requirements. The Project area relies on wells and boreholes for potable water.

2.2 Tenure

The Muntanga Uranium Project consists of six (6) tenements, covering an area of approximately 1,100 km[2] . It includes three Large Scale Mining Licences ( LML ): Muntanga (13880-HQ-LML), Dibbwi (13881HQ-LML), and Chirundu (12634-HQ-LML), which together span about 691 km[2] . The Kariba Valley (Chisebuka) uranium project, located in the southwest, is covered by mining licence 38555-HQ-LML.

7

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Additionally, there are two Large Scale Exploration Licences ( LEL ) for the Nabbanda (22803-HQ-LEL) and Chirundu Extension (22075-HQ-LEL) uranium areas projects. The project tenure is shown in Figure 2 and summarised in Table 1. The project and associated tenure are wholly owned and controlled by GoviEx Uranium Inc or its subsidiaries (GoviEx Uranium Zambia Ltd, Chirundu JV Ltd and Muchinga Energy Ltd).

The Dibbwi and Muntanga mining licences were acquired by GoviEx through a share purchase agreement from Rockgate Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Denison Mines Corporation, on June 13, 2016. The Chirundu mining licence was acquired from AFR on October 31, 2017. The Kariba Valley (Chisebuka) licence, which was then an exploration licence, was also acquired from AFR on October 31, 2017, and later successfully converted to a mining licence by GoviEx in December 2024. GoviEx also has an option to acquire a 51% legal and beneficial interest in the mineral claims and rights to exploration licence Lundazi (32188-HQ-LEL) pursuant to an earn-in option agreement with Stalwart Investments Limited (SIL) dated 3 September 2024. The location of this licence relative to the Muntanga Project is shown in Figure 3.

The Mines and Minerals Development Act 2015 of Zambia governs the rights to explore and mine for minerals. A large-scale mining licence is issued for 25 years. The holder must maintain security and prevent illegal miners from entering the licence area. They must also provide an annual audited financial statement to the Mining Cadastre Office, submit a compliance return, prepare annual mine plans, report ore recovery and production costs, and produce ore resource and reserve statements every two years.

An exploration licence is valid for four years and can be renewed twice for periods not exceeding three years each. The total duration from the initial grant of the licence must not exceed ten years, and at each renewal, 50% of the exploration licence shall be relinquished. On the basis of two renewal periods, the Chirundu Extension (22075-HQ-LEL) expires on 17 July 2033, and the Nabbanda licence (22803-HQ-LEL) expires on 4 February 2029.

The Project tenements have been validated by VRM, who reviewed the tenement information provided by Tombador and compared it with the tenement register from the Zambia Mining Cadastre Portal (https://portals.landfolio.com/zambia/) on 27 August 2025. The area, expenditure, and anniversary dates for each licence have been verified against those provided to VRM. VRM confirmed that the licences and outlines are consistent with those reported by Tombador in the ASX Announcement dated 18 August 2025 and on the Zambia Mining Cadastre Portal, noting minor discrepancies in the reported grant and expiry dates, as well as the area for the Dibbwi licence 13881-HQ-LML and the area for Chirundu Extension (22074-HQ-LEL). These discrepancies were addressed with Tombador, who confirmed that the tenure information reported in the Zambia Mining Cadastre Portal is accurate as stated.

2.3 Environmental, Social, Regulatory Context

The Muntanga Project area, lies just south of the Zambezi Escarpment, which features a hilly landscape with fault-bounded valleys, ranging in elevation from about 500 m to 960 m above sea level. The landscape contours influence surface runoff, and the Zambezi River flows east of the area. Lake Kariba, to the south and aligned similarly to the project tenure, is the world’s largest artificial lake and reservoir, created by the Kariba Dam, supporting hydroelectric power, fisheries, and recreation that local communities rely on. Future mine planning and design such as haul roads, will likely be influenced by the topography.

The region has a tropical climate characterised by a hot, wet season with high 30s daytime maximums and a cool, dry season with high 20s daytime highs maximums according to the weathernetwork.com. Most of the annual rainfall, around 720 mm, occurs between November and March during the hot, wet season with the wettest months December and January.

Environmental management in Zambia is governed by the Zambia Environmental Management Act ( EMA ) which provides regulation for pollution control, water, air, waste management, pesticides and other toxic substances, noise, ionizing radiation and natural resources management.

GoviEx was granted a licence to manage hazardous waste on 9 August 2022 which is valid until 8 August 2028 (as confirmed by email correspondence from Tombador to VRM, 5 September 2025).

There are a number of heritage sites of cultural significance that have been identified through various studies conducted within the Project area in 2006, 2007 and more recently in 2023. As per the Zambian Mines and Minerals Development Act, the holder of a mining licence shall not mine at a dedicated place of burial, land containing monuments defined in the National Heritage Conservation Commission Act, or land within 90 m of any building or dam owned by the State without written consent from the appropriate authority. Previous studies at the Project documented a number of sites of local significance including graves. There are no graves within 100 m radius from the boundary of either the open pit or Waste Rock Dumps.

There are social impacts noted for the potential development of the Project, including resettlement of local communities and relocation of sites such as graves. VRM highlights the importance of ongoing community engagement to ensure the project's success.

2.4 History

Zambia gained independence in 1964 and transitioned to a fully democratic system in 1991. Its legal system is mainly based on English common law. Zambia is the largest copper producer in Africa, and in 2024, it produced 820,000 tonnes of copper. Uranium was first discovered west of Siavonga in 1957 through a ground radiometric survey. In the early 1970s, the Zambian Geological Survey, followed by an Italian petroleum company ( AGIP SpA ), focused exploration on radiometric anomalies along the northern shores of Lake Kariba, including Dibbwi and Chisebuka.

After a prolonged hiatus in exploration between 1984 and 2006, Denison Mines conducted drilling programs that defined NI 43-101 compliant resources and named the project “Kariba”. GoviEx Uranium acquired Denison’s African uranium assets in 2016 and continued to acquire neighbouring licences to define additional uranium deposits.

There has been no uranium production from any of the licences within the Muntanga Uranium Project.

11

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The Minister of Mines and Mineral Development have a strategic plan to increase copper production, diversify its mining industry, and improve economic stability. This includes promoting other essential minerals like uranium, which is becoming more significant in the global move towards clean energy. In this context, the Project is well-positioned to benefit from the government’s diversification efforts and sector support.

3. Mineral Asset

3.1 Regional Geology

The Muntanga Project is located on the northwestern edge of the mid-Zambezi Rift Basin, a rift-like topographical feature that spans across the southern part of Zambia. The Basin is composed of sediments from the Karoo Supergroup which is divided into two subgroups: the lower and upper Karoo groups.

The Lower Karoo Group is Late Carboniferous to Permian in age and consists of three formations: the basal Siankondobo Sandstone, the Gwembe Coal Formation, and the overlying Madumabisa Mudstone Formation at the top. The Madumabisa Formation comprises lacustrine to floodplain mudstones and is thought to form a regional basal control for uranium mineralisation due to its impermeable nature (Ahmed et al., 2017). The Lower Karoo Group is also host to coal deposits throughout Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

The Upper Karoo Group, dated from the early to middle Triassic, includes four formations: the basal Escarpment Grit Formation (coarse fluvial gritstones and sandstones), the Interbedded Sandstone and Mudstone Formation, the Red Sandstone Formation, and the Batoka Basalt Formation which are regional continental flood basalts that cap the sequence. Sandstones of the Escarpment Grit Formation are the main host for uranium mineralisation at Muntanga and Dibwe East (Ahmed et al, 2017).

The Mid-Zambezi Valley basin is an extensional fault-controlled basin of graben type, where Karoo sediments were deposited. Major structures including the Lusitu, Dibwe and Bungua Mountain fault zones control basin architecture.

Regional geology maps, stratigraphic profiles and uranium occurrences in Zambia are shown in Figure 4,

3.2 Local Geology and Mineralisation

Uranium deposits within the Muntanga Project are found within the Karoo Supergroup, which comprises thick, terrestrial sedimentary layers from the Carboniferous to late Triassic periods and is widespread across much of southern Africa. The uranium mineralisation occurs within the sandstone of the Karoo Supergroup and is described as a sandstone-hosted fluvial channel type deposit. The Karoo Supergroup of sub-Saharan Africa is a large sandstone-hosted uranium province (Figure 8).

Known uranium mineralisation occurs within the sandstone of the upper Escarpment Grit Formation ( EGF ) near the basin margin and is controlled by redox conditions. While rift-margin faults may influence the geometry and grade distribution, it is the sandstones confined between impermeable Siltstone beds that regulate uranium mineralisation in a typical roll-front style of mineralisation deposition model (Figure 9). Uranium mineralisation is interpreted to have been introduced after sedimentation (epigenetic).

The EGF is locally conglomeratic, fining upwards into fine-grained sandstones and intercalated mudstones. A change in fluvial style is interpreted as a way to distinguish the units, with a lower “Braided Facies” comprising poorly sorted, pebbly sandstones with mudclasts and thin, discontinuous mudstones, while the overlying “Meandering Facies” typically features well-sorted, upward-fining sandstones with mudclasts and pebble-lag layers, interbedded with laterally extensive mudstones. The thickness of the two facies varies (Ukwazi, 2025).

At Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East, northeast-trending faults likely controlled deposition of the Escarpment Grit “Braided Facies”, and fault-related folds may control blind mineralisation in the Dibbwi and Dibbwi East area. Uranium mineralisation occurs within pore spaces, fractures, joints and coatings on sand grains and is therefore believed to have been introduced after sedimentation (Ukwazi, 2025).

==> picture [482 x 298] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8: Detailed geology map of the project area

Source: ASX:TI1 Announcement, 18 August 2025

All of the faults in the Project area are interpreted to be normal faults that cut the EGF. Soft-sediment folds are also noted, suggesting potential seismic activity which may have enabled diagenetic fluids to contribute to the mineralisation event. The mineralised zones are reportedly offset and impacted by various faults and fractures, but the mineralisation itself is not believed to have any significant structural controls.

The source of uranium is believed to be the surrounding Proterozoic gneisses and plutonic basement rocks, where weathering has caused uranium to dissolve, be transported in solution, and precipitate under reducing conditions in siltstones and sandstones. Mineralisation occurs in multiple units within the EGF and generally follows the dip in line with the south-easterly dip direction of the stratigraphy (Ukwazi, 2025) and as indicated in Figure 10.

At Njame, the primary concentration of uranium mineralisation occurs at the contact between sedimentary sequences where there is a rapid transition from fine to coarse sediments. Whereas at Gwabi, the main concentration of uranium mineralisation is hosted in a 10 m to 20 m thick coarsegrained sandstone situated above a thick siltstone/mudstone unit (Ukwazi, 2025).

In the oxide zones, uranium mineralisation is seen as crystal coatings on surfaces and as near-surface concentrations with secondary uranium phosphate mineralisation (Autunite, meta-Autunite). Primary uranium mineralisation mainly consists of Pitchblende, Uraninite, or Coffinite.

The shallow, lateral continuity of these sandstones make them suitable for open pit development where economic quantities of uranium are determined.

3.3 Previous Exploration

Exploration activity by previous holders primarily included geological mapping, ground radiometric surveys, aeromagnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveys, soil geochemical surveys, trenching and drilling. Soil geochemical and radon surveys were found to correlate with drill-defined mineralisation and radiometric anomalies, making this a suitable exploration approach for other areas. Trenching was undertaken to access fresh bedrock and test priority anomalies prior to drilling (Ukwazi, 2025).

Uranium was first discovered in the Project area in 1957 through a ground radiometric survey, which identified five anomalous zones near Bungua Hill, west of Siavonga. In 1958 and 1959 Chartered Exploration detected low-grade uranium mineralisation.

Most of the exploration work occurred between the late 1970s and the mid-1980s, when numerous radiometric anomalies were identified along the northern shores of Lake Kariba. These were followed up with more detailed radiometric surveying and drilling. In 2006 OmegaCorp/Denison completed airborne aeromagnetics, soils and radon surveys. More recently post the acquisition of Denison Mines by GoviEx in 2016 exploration activity has been carried out by GoviEx.

A summary of previous exploration, as reported in the Muntanga NI 43-101 Technical Report (Ukwazi, 2025), and updated, is provided below:

  • 1957: Ground radiometric survey located five anomalous areas in the vicinity of Bungua Hill, west of Siavonga.

  • 1958 and 1959: Chartered Exploration found low-grade uranium mineralisation

  • 1974: Chartered Exploration confirmed uranium mineralisation was further defined in two campaigns after regional airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys had been flown over the area by Geometrics.

  • 1973 to 1977: The Geological Survey of Zambia ( GSZ ) conducted ground investigation work – principally regional geological mapping, sampling and radiometric and magnetic surveys.

  • 1974 to 1984: Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli ( AGIP ) completed reconnaissance exploration ground campaign, including investigation of the Muntanga and Dibbwi uranium deposits.

  • 2006: OmegaCorp Minerals Limited drilled11 holes (649 m) at the Muntanga mineral deposit to confirm the uranium deposit identified by AGIP.

  • 2007 (August): Denison acquired OmegaCorp Limited. Denison was, at the time, a publicly owned, uranium exploration and development company listed on the Toronto (Canada) and NYSE MKT. OmegaCorp became a wholly owned subsidiary of Denison.

  • 2010: The prospecting licences were converted to two mining licences that were held by Denison’s wholly owned subsidiary Denison Mines Zambia Limited.

  • 2016 (June): GoviEx acquired Denison Mines Zambia Limited.

  • 2021 to 2023: GoviEx completed infill and extension drilling, comprising 468 drill holes (52,924 m) mostly over Muntanga and Dibbwi/Dibbwi East.

  • In 2024, GoviEx drilled five holes on the Nabbanda exploration licence and three of these drillholes intersected EGF..

VRM understands that all drilling conducted has been reported within the JORC tabulation.

3.4 Deposit Summary

There are six main deposits within the Muntanga Uranium Project. Gwabi and Njame are within the Chirundu mining licence to the north, the Muntanga and Dibbwi East and Dibbwi deposits are within the two central mining licences, and Chisebuka, within the Kariba Valley mining licence, is the southernmost area of the Project. These primary deposits are described in more detail within this section and can be seen in Figure 2 in Section 2. In addition, two exploration licences cover the Chirundu Extension and Nabbanda prospects. Information in this section has been primarily taken from the NI 43-101 Technical Report (Ukwazi, 2025).

3.4.1 Chirundu Area

Chirundu, located in the northern area of the Muntanga Project, covers mining licence 12634-HQ-LML and comprises the Gwabi and Njame deposits. Initial drilling at the Gwabi and Njame deposits was completed between 2006 and 2009, followed by GoviEx conducting limited drilling between 2022 to 2024. During this program, three diamond drill holes on each of the Njame and Gwabi deposits were drilled for data confirmation and geometallurgical sampling.

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Njame Uranium Deposit

The Njame uranium deposit features EGF exposed on a gentle dip slope facing southeast. To the northwest, the slope becomes a much steeper scarp, controlled by the position of a northwest-dipping normal fault. Uranium mineralisation occurs at the interface between siltstones and sandstones, typically at redox interfaces. About 25% of the mineralisation at Njame is hosted in siltstone, with the remainder found in coarser-grained sandstones and grits. Siltstone horizons are generally laterally continuous for hundreds of metres, except where younger grit or sandstone channels have cut through them.

Drilling on 100m spacings has been carried out along the entire length of the known deposit, confirming uranium mineralisation over the full 5 km. A stratigraphic control on mineralisation at the deposit scale is observed, although structural control may influence the larger scale. Two main mineralised horizons were identified, with the thickest, most consistent, and highest-grade in the lower horizon. Figure 11 and Figure 12 show a geological cross-section and geological plan of the Njame deposit, respectively. Figure 13 shows a plan and sectional view of the known Njame mineralisation as used for the mineral resource estimate.

Gwabi Uranium Deposit

Gwabi uranium mineralisation is associated with one main mineralised horizon interpreted to be controlled by both lithology and the redox boundary. Similar to Njame, and interpreted to be the alongstrike, Gwabi is entirely within the Upper Karoo Escarpment Grits exposed on a gentle-dipping, southeast-facing slope.

Mineralisation is hosted by the coarse-grained sediments (red, oxidised, coarse-grained sandstones, grits, and pebble conglomerates) which overlie a green, non-mineralised, reduced silty-shale horizon.

The Gwabi mineralisation stratigraphic setting is interpreted as representing a major redox boundary, and may represent the regional unconformity between the upper and lower Karoo stratigraphic units.

3.4.2 Muntanga and Dibbwi Licences

The Muntanga and Dibbwi licences are central to the main Muntanga Uranium Project and include three primary deposits – Muntanga, Dibbwi East to the southeast, and Dibbwi to the southwest, as shown in Figure 17. The Muntanga and Dibbwi East deposits are located within mining licence 13880-HQ-LML, while Dibbwi falls within 13881-HQ-LML.

Muntanga, Dibbwi East and Dibbwi Uranium Deposits

The Muntanga, Dibbwi East and Dibbwi deposits have been grouped together due to their central location within the Muntanga Project and their similar characteristics.

The earliest phase of exploration for uranium in the area covering the Muntanga and Dibbwi deposit areas was in the late 1970s to the mid‐1980s. This included outcrop mapping, ground radiometric surveys, airborne photographic and geophysical surveys, trenching and pitting. In 2013, a helicopterborne geophysical electromagnetic (VTEM[TM] plus) survey was done, followed by extensive field mapping. Soil geochemical and radon surveys were done between 2013 to 2015 to focus exploration

outside of the already identified uranium mineralisation from drilling, and test areas buried by regolith (Figure 18). A radon survey for exploration involves measuring radon gas (a radioactive gas) in soil, rocks, or water to detect subsurface mineral deposits, particularly uranium. Radon is a decay product of uranium.

Radon surveys are a type of geophysical–geochemical exploration technique used mainly in uranium exploration, environmental studies, and geotechnical work.

Initial drilling was completed by AGIP and the Zambian Geological Survey between 1973 and 1984. This was followed by additional drilling from 2006 to 2012 by OmegaCorp and Denison (Figure 19) which discovered primary mineralisation at depth, and increased the strike length to 4.0 km. GoviEx carried out the most recent drilling between 2021 and 2024, mainly consisting of infill drilling at Dibbwi East and some confirmation drilling at the Muntanga and Dibbwi deposits for resource estimation. Uranium grade data were determined using a downhole gamma probe. In 2024, sterilisation drilling was conducted around the potential infrastructure and relocation sites.

Uranium mineralisation at all three deposits is suggested to be younger than some of the normal faults that cut the EGF, as indicated by the correlation of radiometric logging data between adjacent holes within the Muntanga deposit separated by interpreted faulting (Ukwazi, 2025). Figure 20 and Figure 21 shows geological mapping and cross-sectional interpretation of the Muntanga and Dibbwi geology respectively.

There are multiple styles of uranium mineralisation reported (Ukwazi, 2025):

  • Disseminated mineralisation - located in sandstones, conglomerates, and mud layers/balls/flakes; uranium occurs as fine crystals or amorphous masses (<1% by volume). Grades vary from ~20 ppm to 2,000 ppm U₃O₈. Association with sulphides may reflect transitional zones or differing chemical reduction pathways.

  • Mudstone and siltstone-hosted mineralisation – Occurs in mud balls, flakes, and interbeds within sandstones. Replacement of mud varies from complete to partial depending on groundwater chemistry, reducing matter, and porosity.

  • Fracture-hosted mineralisation – Uranium coats fracture surfaces, commonly associated with iron/manganese oxides and secondary uranium phosphates (autunite, meta-autunite, selenite), especially noted in the Dibbwi–Muntanga–Dibbwi corridor.

  • Primary mineralisation – Found below oxidised zones at redox fronts within sandstones, marked by colour changes and pyrite presence. Controlled by permeability contrasts and reducing agents (organic matter, sulphides). Mineralisation is primary, mainly as pitchblende, uraninite, or coffinite.

Figure 22 to Figure 24 show plan and sectional views of the known drilled mineralisation at Dibbwi, Dibbwi East and Muntanga, respectively.

3.4.3 Kariba Valley Area

The Chisebuka uranium prospects are located within the Kariba Valley mining licence (38555-HQ-LML) in the southern part of the Muntanga Uranium project. Additionally, the Namakande prospect is within this licence. There is no JORC compliant mineral resource estimate available for the Kariba Valley licence.

Early exploration by previous owners, discovered uranium mineralisation in this area. Work included ground radiometric surveys, geochemical soil and rock-chip assessments and percussion drilling. GoviEx acquired the licence in 2017 and the area remains relatively unexplored. Mineralisation is hosted within the same Karoo sedimentary package as the Muntanga-Dibbwi deposits. Existing drillhole collar locations and holes with uranium mineralisation greater than 100 ppm U3O8 are shown in Figure 25.

Some notable results >100 ppmU3O8 from this drilling are:

Chisebuka prospect:

  • CHI004: 13m at 211 ppm U3O8 from 61m

  • CHI039: 30m at 298 ppm U3O8 from 34m; including 7m at 751 ppm U3O8 from 34m and 1m at 3760 ppm U3O8 from 36m

32

  • CHI062: 4m at 211 ppm U3O8 from 48m (including 1m at 426 ppm U3O8

Namakande prospect:

  • NAM002: 3m at 150 ppm U3O8 from 56m

  • NAM037: 6m at 130 ppm U3O8 from 44m

3.5 Current Exploration

The focus of exploration activity is on expanding the resource base to enable a large-scale operation that would meet the financing needs for a standalone project. To achieve this, the Company has considered both a brownfield (near defined Mineral Resources) and a greenfield (away from Mineral Resources) exploration approach.

33

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

In 2025, GoviEx initiated an exploration campaign to evaluate uranium prospectivity in high-priority areas, including near-mine targets that could potentially extend the Muntanga and Dibbwi deposits, as well as a larger-scale opportunity at the Kariba Valley, situated on strike and on trend 70 kilometres to the south-east of Muntanga. Of note, GoviEx identified prospective areas between historical drill holes where potential mineralised continuity may exist, or as extensions to known mineralisation. These areas of focus are circled in red in Figure 26 and summarised below.

==> picture [483 x 329] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 26: Location of areas identified as priority for exploration follow-up, marked in red

Source: Modified from GoviEx website, Announcement 24 June 2025 (http://www.GoviEx.com)

  • Muntanga East, where there are historical intercepts over a radiometric anomaly that are within the same EGF host rocks that contain the current resource. It is an area located approximately five kilometres from the current Muntanga resource; and

  • Kariba Valley, where geological modelling from drilling data, as well as ground radiometric and mapping data, indicates that the Chisebuka mineralisation may be open up-dip, down-dip at depth and potentially along strike. A potential shallow, gently dipping mineralised body was interpreted that can be traced for approximately 4 km along strike and up to 1 km across, with mineralised horizons cropping out from surface to roughly 110 m depth. This is shown in Figure 27.

In addition, drilling by GoviEx in 2024, on the Nabbanda exploration licence, identified the same rock type known to host mineralisation in the area which may warrant further exploration.

  • The brownfield program will focus on two areas where previous work has already delineated mineralisation. The brownfield program will comprise infill drilling at both Muntanga East and Chisabuka, as shown in Figure 28.

  • Muntanga East is less than 2 km from the main Muntanga deposit and has similar shallow mineralisation and lithology to Muntanga. A down-the-hole (DTH) drilling program with approximately 27 holes planned on a 100m x 100m grid spacing. In addition, a diamond drill program with appropriate QAQC, geological and resource modelling and pit optimisations is included and aimed at defining a JORC 2012 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource estimate.

  • Chisabuka, on the Kariba Valley license, has an initial program planned that will focus on known shallow mineralisation (less than 50m from surface). Drilling designed on a similar 100m x 100m grid spacing, is aimed at defining a potential Inferred Resource.

  • The greenfield exploration program is focussed on three conceptual prospects areas; Muntanga North, Kariba valley (northeast of Chisebuka) and an area to the south of Dibbwi. Of the three areas, Muntanga North is considered the most prospective. These proposed areas of focus are shown in Figure 29, and summarised below:

  • Muntanga North contains several large radiometric anomalies and has not been drilled before. The geology has similarities to the Dibbwi East and Muntanga deposits. The anomalies are located on the same interpreted trend as the Njame deposit and where mineralisation was identified from holes on the Nabbanda exploration license. Three specific areas have been determined via a field verification program. Broad-spaced drilling on an initial 400m x 200m pattern is planned to confirm mineralisation and allow the resultant areas to be ranked.

Follow up drilling, with the aim of defining a resource, is proposed on a 200m x 200m pattern, followed by infill drilling on a 100m x 100m based on successful results.

Subsequent diamond drilling would then follow with appropriate QAQC, geological and resource modelling and pit optimisations aimed at defining a JORC 2012 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource estimate.

36

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  1. At Kariba Valley, several radiometric anomalies are proposed for further work, including a potential radon survey and follow-up drilling using the same concept as that described for Muntanga North.

  2. The final greenfield area is south of Dibbwi, where a number of anomalies in sandstones occur. These overlay Interbedded sandstone and mudstone formations at the boundary, similar to Dibbwi and Dibbwi East and are on the same trend. Very little data is available for this area with a preliminary exploration program required, including radon and soil samples, to generate areas of interest.

==> picture [482 x 340] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 29: Proposed Greenfields exploration program

In addition to these programs, the Company also plans to undertake a regional review to determine if there are prospective areas for uranium mineralisation where new tenements can be pursued. This review will consider the extensions of the Karoo Sandstones as well as other geological features prominent for uranium discoveries.

On 24 June 2025, GoviEx announced via its website (www.GoviEx.com) an exploration program consisting of 35 drill holes for approximately 3,500 metres and trenching. This program was planned to include:

  • Ten drill holes (less than 60m depth) to follow up historical intercepts over a radiometric anomaly close to the east of the Muntanga resource.

37

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • Five drill holes to test a previously untested radon anomaly just east of the Dibbwi resource.

  • Twenty drill holes (approximately 2,000m) to test potential mineralisation extensions on the Kariba Valley licence.

  • Trenching over radon anomalies south of the Dibbwi deposit to expose the underlying geology for sampling and mapping.

This program was planned to commence in June/July 2025 and Tombador confirmed on 3 September 2025, that drilling had commenced, however further details are not available.

3.6 Exploration Potential

The Karoo Basin is considered to be relatively underexplored compared to other well-known uraniumbearing sandstone basins, particularly those of the western United States.

The EGF is known to have a distinct radiometric signature because of its feldspathic composition, where the presence of potassium gives a reddish-brown radiometric signature. In addition, mudstones and sandstones have distinguishable potassium/magnetic signatures (Ukwazi, 2025). These characteristics may provide beneficial vectors to guide exploration and identify areas of interest.

VRM considers that there is strong potential to extend known mineralisation and resources and also to discover new uranium mineralisation within the known prospective stratigraphic packages.

4. Mineral Resource Estimate

A Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the Muntanga Uranium Project has been prepared in accordance with the 2012 Joint Ore Reserves Committee’s Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ( JORC ). An ASX Announcement dated 18 August 2025, released by Tombador, provided details of the proposed transaction with GoviEx Uranium Inc., and was the first-time reporting of the MRE by Tombador. The reader is referred to that announcement for further information, including JORC Table 1 Sections 1, 2 and 3. The MRE was summarised by classification and reported on a deposit basis and is detailed in Table 3.

Table 3: Mineral Resource statement for the Muntanga Uranium Project, Zambia (31 Jan 2024)

==> picture [482 x 291] intentionally omitted <==

Notes:

  1. Mineral resources are constrained within an optimised pit shell using a uranium price of US$100/lb, mining costs of US$3.30/t, processing costs of US$9.00/t, additional mining costs of US$0.55/t, G&A costs of US$1.50/t, Transport costs of US$1.50 and a royalty of 5 %.

  2. Mineral Resources are reported at a U3O8 ppm cut-off grade within the optimised pit shell and are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

  3. Mineral Resources are inclusive of mineralisation in the low-grade U3O8 80 ppm halo but reported above the relevant cut-off and classed as Inferred Resources. This mineralisation represents approximately 5 % of the total Mineral Resources metal (Mlb).

  4. Mineral Resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves in the future.

  5. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.

The information related to Mineral Resources in Table 3 is sourced from Tombador’s ASX Announcement dated 18 August 2025, including Tombador Mineral Resources JORC Table 1 and is available to view on Investors - Tombador Iron. The Company confirmed with VRM that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the details in the original market announcement, and that the estimates of the Mineral Resources, along with all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning those estimates, continue to apply and have not changed materially. The Company also confirmed with VRM that the presentation format and context of the Competent Person’s findings remain consistent with the original market announcement.

SRK Consulting (Canada) ( SRK ) prepared an initial MRE for the Muntanga Uranium Project in November 2017, as per the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). Following additional drilling at the project, SRK revised the MRE as of 31 January 2024, with the updated estimate completed and reported in March 2025, in accordance with NI 43-101 guidelines. Earlier MREs were developed for Gwabi in February 2009 and Njame in December 2009 then reviewed and included by SRK in the 2024 MRE.

The Competent Person ( CP ), as defined by JORC and responsible for the MRE announcement for Tombador in August 2025, is Mr. Jerome Randabel, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Randabel is a full-time employee of GoviEx Uranium Inc. and has adequate experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, the type of deposit, and the activities being undertaken to meet JORC requirements.

Whilst GoviEx had previously reported Mineral Reserve Estimates in the Muntanga Uranium Mine Ni 43101 Technical Report, compiled by Ukwazi Transaction Advisory (Ukwazi, 2025), Tombador is not reporting Ore Reserves for the Project.

The information summarised below provides an overview of the 2025 MRE and related details prepared by Tombador and SRK, who compiled the MRE section of the 2025 Muntanga Uranium Mine NI 43-101 Technical Report. VRM has relied on this information as a basis for this section. The JORC MRE summary is included in Appendix B. JORC Table 1 Sections 1 to 3 for the MRE Study are included in Appendix C.

A breakdown of the Mineral Resource statement by resource classification is shown in Table 3. Note that there are no reported Ore Reserves, as there is no demonstrated economic viability. About eighty-four per cent (84%) of the metal pounds are classified as Measured and Indicated, while the remaining sixteen per cent (16%) are classified as Inferred.

Seequent’s Leapfrog GeoTM (“Leapfrog”) and EdgeTM (“Edge”) version 2024.1.1 software was used utilised to review historical MREs and conduct sensitivity analyses, construct updated geological solids, prepare sample data for geostatistical and variography analysis, develop the block models, estimate uranium grades, and tabulate Mineral Resources (Ukwazi, 2025).

VRM completed a review of the Mineral Resource estimation reports and provides the following assessment on the reasonableness of the MRE for the Muntanga Project material types. The contents of this Review have been created using the following reports and announcements:

  • Tombador Iron, 2025. Tombador to acquire GoviEx and the Muntanga Uranium Project. ASX announcement dated 18 August 2025, including Project summary and JORC Table 1, Sections 1 to 3 and supplementary Appendices.

  • Ukwazi, 2025. NI 43-101 Technical Report: Feasibility Study of the Muntanga Uranium Project, Zambia, dated 7 March 2025.

  • SRK, 2024. Muntanga – Geotechnical Feasibility Study. SRK Consulting for GoviEx dated September 2024.

In VRM’s opinion, the information provided is of reasonable quality and satisfactorily addresses the requirements for an assessment of the reasonableness of the approach to the various Mineral Resource estimates. VRM has not verified the underlying geological datasets, nor has VRM completed a full review or re-reported the Mineral Resources for the Project as at the date of this report. The technical data was reviewed at a high level; however, full due diligence was not undertaken.

4.1 Drilling, Sampling and Analysis

The MRE includes 2,366 historical drill holes totalling 191,711 metres of drilling carried out between 2006 and 2012, and 468 drill holes drilled by GoviEx from 2021 to 2023 totalling 52,924 m of drilling. The database contains 33,280 uranium (U3O8) assays and 114,364 m of down-hole radiometric probe data converted in equivalent U3O8 ( eU3O8 ) grade data for MRE purposes (Ukwazi, 2025). A drillhole summary is shown in Figure 30.

Prior to GoviEx ownership, drilling campaigns included Diamond Drill Hole (DDH) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling, mostly drilled vertically, along with some inclined holes. Limited checks on hole deviation showed deviations of less than 2°. All DDH were drilled at angles ranging from 55° to 80°, and at a number of azimuths although dominantly towards 135° or 315°. Down-hole survey measurements were taken using a single-shot camera at 15 m down-hole intervals. Sampling of RC chips involved splitting a 1.5 kg primary sample and equal size duplicate.

Drilling campaigns were completed by GoviEx between 2021 and 2023 using DDH and DTH drilling technique (Down-the-Hole). This is an open-hole technique and therefore does not provide sample material for assaying. Down-hole deviation surveys were conducted using a Boart Longyear Trushot digital survey tool. Deviation survey measurements were taken at intervals of 5 m to 10 m, depending on the total depth of the hole.

42

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

A 2024 drilling program was mainly conducted outside the Muntanga, Dibbwi, and Dibbwi East mineralised zones. It was carried out by GoviEx for sterilisation, hydrological, and geotechnical purposes, and thus, the results were not included in the MRE.

All drill cores and chips were systematically logged with a Terraplus RS-125 Gamma-Ray Spectrometer/Scintillometer, which supported the identification of uranium mineralisation in the core and select intervals for geochemical sampling.

Down-hole geophysical logging was done to derive the natural gamma radiation which enabled an indirect estimate of uranium content. Denison used an internally developed computer program (GAMLOG), whereas GoviEx used ALT Wellcad software to convert gamma data into eU3O8.

Representative chips or cores from the anomalous sections of holes that collapsed prior to down-hole probing were sent for XRF analyses.

The CP, Mr Jerome Randabel, accepted that the Project drill hole database is adequate to support the current geological interpretation of the Project uranium deposits and to support the estimation of Mineral Resources (TI1 ASX Announcement, 18 August 2025).

4.2 Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)

Historical drilling programs by Denison, which represent the majority of historical data for the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits, used a variety of systematic checks and standards for routine checking and calibration of down-hole radiometric logging tools. They also engaged a senior geophysical consultant to oversee training, implementation, and quality control protocols with the Zambian logging personnel. There was suspected radon contamination in the 2011 drilling campaign which prompted 14 holes to be re-probed and analysed. This re-testing achieved acceptable repeatability of results.

Historical drilling prior to 2006 had limited down-hole radiometric QAQC data available. QC samples (reference materials, blanks and duplicates) were included with each analytical run between 2009 to 2012.

Tombador reported (ASX Announcement, 18 August 2025) that the CP (Mr Jerome Randabel) reviewed and analysed the results of data verification programmes conducted by previous companies and accepted the results of these programmes. The sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures was determined to meet industry standards, and the QAQC programmes, as designed and implemented by GoviEx and past operators, are adequate; consequently, the assay and down-hole probe data within the drill hole database are suitable for MRE purposes. The 2024 drilling was primarily outside of the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East mineralised zones, and drilled for sterilisation, hydrological, and geotechnical purposes and as such, was not used in the MRE.

4.3 Estimation Methodology

The Mineral Resource evaluation methodology involved the following procedures:

  • Database compilation and verification

  • Review of Njame and Gwabi historical MRE

  • Construction of grade shell wireframe models for the boundaries of uranium mineralisation for the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits

  • Data conditioning (compositing and capping) for geostatistical analysis and variography

43

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • Block modelling and grade interpolation

  • Mineral Resource classification and validation

  • Assessment of “reasonable prospects for economic extraction” (“RPEEE”) and selection of appropriate COGs

  • Preparation of the Mineral Resource statement.

Uranium grade data were composited into 1.0 m lengths within the grade shell boundaries, with all residual composites smaller than 0.5 m in length added to the adjacent composite interval. Assay samples were mainly collected using a 1.0 m sample length, and eU3O8 data from down-hole radiometric probing are gathered at 0.1 m intervals. Grade continuity analysis of uranium mineralisation was performed on capped composites for each deposit. Variogram analysis was carried out using Seequent’s Edge software.

Block Model

A parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5m was sub-blocked for volumetric reporting. Grade interpolation was conducted at the parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5m. Estimates of uranium grade (U3O8 ppm) were interpolated into the block model using Ordinary Kriging ( OK ), and a multiple-pass estimation strategy with successively expanding search criteria in subsequent estimation passes.

Block model validation was conducted using multiple techniques including:

  • Visual inspection of estimated block grades relative to composite grades

  • Swath plot analysis of grade profiles between OK, inverse distance ( ID2 ) and nearest-neighbour ( NN ) block estimates, and

  • Statistical comparison of global average MRE estimated block grades and declustered composite grades (NN).

Density

A total of 450 bulk density measurements were collected across the Muntanga, Dibbwi, and Dibbwi East deposits. A global dry bulk density of 2.1 t/m³ was used for reporting all three deposits. SRK noted variations related to lithology and redox conditions and recommended collecting additional density values. A wax coating was used in 88% of the volume displacement density measurements, accounting for rock porosity to avoid overstating the density. The Coefficient of Variation ( CV ) of the density measurements is around < 0.06. Therefore, using a mean density value was deemed appropriate for the MRE.

Mineralised lenses at Njame were assigned uniform densities ranging from 1.98 t/m3 to 2.08 t/m3, dependent on the dominant sedimentary lithology type hosting the mineralisation. At Gwabi, a global density of 2.09 t/m3 was used for the MRE (Ukwazi, 2025).

Grade Estimation

Mineralisation domains used for MRE within the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits have been defined based on grade shells generated using a 100 ppm eU3O8 cut-off with an 80 ppm eU3O8 cut-off low-grade halo.

A deposit/probe-specific Radiometric-Grade (Ra-Grade) correlation was established to enable accurate conversion of down-hole radiometric probe data into equivalent uranium eU3O8. This process included a preliminary adjustment of raw probe data to compensate for gamma signature attenuation caused by

44

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

the logging environment (e.g. drillhole size, presence of fluid). Analysis by SRK in 2023, found that the Ra-Grades generally reported lower than analytical results in the order of 7 % to 10 %.

Estimates of uranium grade (U3O8 ppm) were interpolated into the block model using OK, and a multiple-pass estimation strategy with successively expanding search criteria in subsequent estimation passes. Outlier restrictions were used for the Muntanga and Dibbwi East deposits to mitigate the potential of over-estimation of grade due to the presence of a small number of high uranium-grade composites.

The resource estimation methodology was based on the following:

  • 1 m composite data were used for the estimation

  • Hard boundary conditions were employed in the estimation to limit the estimation to stratigraphic contacts

  • Only samples from within individual mineralisation model domains were used to estimate blocks within those domains

  • Estimation of U3O8 (ppm) grade was completed in multiple passes to assess various search and sampling criteria.

  • Variogram parameters, search criteria and sample numbers are provided in the 2025 NI 43-101 Technical Report (Ukwazi, 2025)

  • Sub-block grades were assigned the grade of the parent block.

4.4 Classification and Reporting Criteria

Mineral Resource classification criteria considered the following components:

  • Quality of the data used to support MRE

  • Confidence in the interpretation of the mineralised zones

  • Average drill hole spacing within the deposits and

  • Estimation parameters including the number of drill holes and assay composites used to estimate a block.

The Muntanga deposits are classified as Indicated Mineral Resources, where the average drill hole spacing is less than 50 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than 75 m. No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at the Muntanga deposit.

The Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources where the average drill hole spacing is less than 80 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than 150 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters. No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at either the Dibbwi or Dibbwi East deposits. The estimation parameters for each “pass” are described in JORC Table 1 Section 3 of Appendix C.

The Gwabi and Njame deposits have been classified as Measured Mineral Resources where drill hole spacing is less than 50 m x 25 m. Indicated Mineral Resources have been classified where drill hole spacing is less than 50 m x 50 m, and all remaining Mineral Resources are classified as Inferred Mineral Resources.

4.5 Assessment of Modifying Factors

The resultant block model quantities and grade estimates were reviewed by SRK to determine the portions of the MRE having Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction ( RPEEE ) from an open pit mine. This was based on parameters summarised in Table 5. SRK determined that the blocks located within the conceptual pit envelopes show RPEEE and can be reported as a Mineral Resource.

  • A U3O8 90 ppm cut-off value was calculated for all pits, except for Gwabi where a 110 ppm cut-off was applied due to significantly lower demonstrated recoveries

To illustrate grade sensitivity to cut-off-grade ( COG ), grade tonnage curves were created using only grade tonnages from the MRE. These are shown in Figure 31 which is a compilation of charts for each deposit.

Metallurgy

Prior to GoviEx completing their own program of works, previous owners African Energy Resources and Denison Mines conducted metallurgical testing. The test work was carried out on samples from Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East along as well as some work on Njame and Gwabi, and focused on bottle rolls, column leaching (including geomechanical testing), ion exchange, impurity removal and uranium precipitation.

Test work achieved the following recoveries:

  • Muntanga 93%

  • Dibbwi 92.2%

  • Dibbwi East 89.7%

47

  • Njame 93%

  • Gwabi 73.1%

4.6 VRM Comment

VRM has reviewed the reasonableness of the approach to the Mineral Resource Estimates within the Muntanga Project and has not identified any material concerns. The reader is directed to the ASX release of 18 August 2025, where Tombador reports the Mineral Resources.

There are mineral resources classified as Measured for Gwabi and Njame. Under the JORC Guidelines, this classification is used when there is a high level of confidence, and the estimate is sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and financial evaluation of the project's economic viability.

As drilling density is increased to improve confidence and allocate future MREs, there is a risk that this may result in a reduction in resource tonnage.

Detailed structural modelling will increase confidence in fault geometries, improving the understanding of mineralisation continuity and geotechnical implications to benefit resource estimation and future mining studies.

A global dry bulk density was applied to Dibbwi East, Dibbwi, and Muntanga. However, in JORC Table 1 Tombador’s ASX release on 18 August 2025, variations in density were noted in relation to lithology and redox state. While these bulk densities seem reasonable for the MRE, VRM believes that the variability and spatial distribution should be documented. VRM considers that this does not affect the validity of the Mineral Resource as reported by Tombador.

In VRM’s view, the information provided was of reasonable quality and sufficiently addressed the requirements for assessing the reasonableness of the approach to the various Mineral Resource estimates. VRM has not verified all underlying geological datasets, nor has VRM completed a comprehensive review of the Mineral Resources for the Project as at the date of this report. The technical data was reviewed at a high level; however, full due diligence was not carried out.

5. Technical and Economic Studies

Prior to announcing the Proposed Transaction, GoviEx appointed Ukwazi Transaction Advisory Pty Ltd ( Ukwazi ), SRK Consulting ( UK ) Limited ( SRK ), SGS Bateman (Pty) Ltd ( SGS ), and Cresco Global Ltd ( Cresco ) to conduct technical studies to a feasibility level for the Muntanga open pit project, process plant, and related infrastructure.

A report was prepared in line with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 and Form 43-101F1. Titled NI 43-101 Technical Report: Feasibility Study of the Muntanga Uranium Project, Zambia, it was completed in January 2025 and dated 7 March 2025 and is publicly accessible via various websites. VRM retrieved this report from the SEDAR website (https://www.sedarplus.ca/home/), the official Canadian platform where public companies and investment funds submit and disclose documents.

The report provides details covering the MREs, mining methods, metallurgical test work results, process design, infrastructure, capital and operating costs and economic analysis. As per the ASX Announcement by Tombador on 18 August 2025, the Merged Group intends to implement a revised development strategy supported by additional exploration including drilling to upgrade resources and assess optimal development pathways.

6. Corporate and Exploration Strategy

The Company’s strategy is to establish a mineral resource company focused on exploring and developing uranium assets in Africa, with its primary asset being the Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia and its associated exploration potential. The Proposed Transaction with GoviEx aims to support the significant growth of Muntanga Uranium resources and achieve economies of scale to substantially enhance the project's economics and benefits for all stakeholders.

To achieve this, Tombador plans to concentrate on the Muntanga East and Kariba Valley prospects within the Muntanga Project area. This focus intends to create value not only for shareholders but also for the communities in which it operates and its people, in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Exploration programs to date have confirmed that uranium mineralisation and five deposits with JORC compliant MREs. GoviEx is currently conducting additional drilling programs (as of the date of this report). VRM supports the focus areas for planned exploration programs described in the report, and funds raised should be prioritised for these areas.

At Muntanga East, the Company plans to follow up historical intercepts with drilling over a radiometric anomaly located approximately five kilometres from the defined Muntanga deposit, and uranium mineralisation has been identified in the same EGF host rocks that contain the current resource.

At Mutunga North the plan is to drill test several radiometric anomalies which have never been drill tested with a systematic program of drilling planned with the objective of defining an initial Resource in this area.

At Kariba Valley, the plan is to follow up on potential strike continuity and mineralised extensions from the known Chisebuka prospect with drilling. Additionally, mapping and soil sampling will be carried out to validate geological interpretation and refine exploration planning for further drilling.

The Muntanga Project is well-positioned to benefit from the Zambian government’s diversification strategy to promote the development of critical minerals, such as uranium.

By applying the Minimum Subscription funds raised, combined with the Company’s existing cash at bank, it is anticipated to be well funded to undertake thorough and cost-effective exploration and evaluation programs. By applying the Maximum Subscription funds raised, the Company would be able to advance this more quickly.

Tombador has assembled a Board and Management team with extensive experience, including uranium project development and operations, which is expected to support exploration efforts and the advancement of its projects. The Company has indicated it aims to maintain a safe working environment for all of its employees and contractors and apply high environmental, social and governance standards during all exploration and potential future mining activities.

7. Risks and Opportunities

7.1 General Risks and Opportunities

Zambia has a rich endowment of resources, and while known for its Copperbelt Copper and Cobalt deposits, it is expanding into growing exploration for critical and energy minerals such as uranium to meet the demand for the global energy transition. The Zambian government is encouraging diversified mining and exploration with its revised Mines and Minerals Development Act, No 14 of 2024 (MRCA). Whilst these reforms reportedly aim to streamline regulation, any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting ownership of assets, mining policy, monetary policy, taxation, exchange rates, environmental regulations, labour relations and return of capital may affect Tombador's ability to undertake exploration and development activity at the Project. Currently, Namibia and South Africa are the only known uranium-producing African nations, however uranium is found in a wide variety of geological settings. In Zambia, apart from Muntanga, uranium mineralisation is known at Lumwana Copper Mine, owned by Barrick. Whilst there are reported uranium resources at Lumwana, no uranium has been produced by Barrick (Sinkana et al, 2025).

The data included in this Report and the basis of the interpretations herein have been derived from a compilation of data found in published technical papers and historical reports sourced from publicly accessible information and supplied by Tombador. Additionally, other company presentations and reports have been used to evaluate the historic exploration data and determine the potential prospectivity within the tenement holdings. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine the validity of much of the historical samples, even where original assays are reported.

There are JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimates within the Muntanga Uranium Project. The calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when calculated initially may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to future reporting of Mineral Resource Estimates.

Mineral exploration, by its very nature, is speculative and carries significant risks, particularly for earlystage projects, of which many of the Project areas are considered. Based on industry-wide exploration success rates, it is possible that no additional significant economic mineralisation will be found within the Project. Even if significant mineralisation does exist, factors both within and outside Tombador’s control may hinder the identification or development of such mineralisation. However, these risks need to be considered in light of the future requirements for critical minerals such as uranium.

Risks that all exploration companies may be exposed to include, but is not limited to, factors such as community consultation and agreements, metallurgical, mining and environmental considerations, availability and suitability of processing facilities or capital to build appropriate facilities, regulatory guidelines and restrictions, ability to develop infrastructure appropriately, and mine closure processes.

There are often environmental, safety, and regulatory risks associated with exploration. This may include, but is not limited to, factors such as community consultation and agreements, as well as environmental considerations. Once projects advance, they are assessed for risks related to mining, metallurgical, and processing facilities' requirements and services, the ability to develop infrastructure appropriately, and mine closure processes. The assessment of these risks are typically addressed in successive technicaleconomic studies, which generally commence once a project has initiated mineral resource definition

51

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

drilling and estimation activities. There is a risk that fatal flaws may be identified during these studies that impede project development.

Global economics, including changes in commodity prices and access to capital for exploration funding, can be viewed as both risks and opportunities. Nuclear energy generated from uranium, competes with other sources of energy like oil, natural gas, coal and hydro-electricity. These sources are somewhat interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term and may result in variations in demand for uranium concentrates and uranium conversion services, which, among other things, could lead to lower uranium prices. Growth of the uranium and nuclear power industry will also depend on continuing and growing public support for nuclear technology to generate electricity. These factors lie outside the Company’s control, similar to broader societal issues.

According to S&P Capital IQ, the economic growth of Zambia is projected to grow by over 4.9% in 2025, supported by a rebound in agricultural production, a more stable electricity supply, and stronger mining output, particularly in copper.

Some of the above factors could have a material and adverse effect on the ability of Tombador or the Merged Company to obtain the required financing in the future or to obtain such financing, which may result in material and adverse effects on its exploration and development programs.

7.2 Project Specific Risks and Opportunities

The Muntanga project has further exploration potential adjacent to or along strike of the existing Mineral Resources, offering an opportunity for additional evaluation and assessment. These potential resource extensions represent a significant opportunity for each of the project areas with the tenure.

The potential future development of a mining operation at the Muntanga Uranium Project depends on several factors, including but not limited to, converting the Mineral Resource into an Ore Reserve, favourable geological and mineralogical conditions with viable mass recoveries, obtaining the necessary approvals, leases, licences, and permits from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, minimal technical and operational difficulties during extraction and production, low mechanical failure of plant and equipment, stable prices or minimal fluctuations in consumables, commodities, spare parts, and equipment, avoiding cost overruns, access to sufficient funding, and managing contracting risks from third-party providers of essential services.

At this stage, no JORC Compliant Ore Reserves are current for the Muntanga Project. VRM considers that a full review of associated modifying factors, will be required for Ore Reserves to be declared. There are risks and potential opportunities associated with these studies.

52

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

8. Proposed Exploration Activities

The Company proposes to fund its exploration and evaluation activities over the first two years postlisting via its cash reserves and the proposed capital raise. VRM notes that exploration and evaluation programs are subject to modification on an ongoing basis and are contingent on circumstances, results, and other opportunities.

Programs and expenditure may be reallocated due to such modifications or new opportunities that arise, and will be prioritised, having due regard to geological and techno-economic merits as well as the Company's other activities. Ongoing assessment of the Company's Projects may result in increased or decreased levels of funding reflecting a change of emphasis or operating environment.

In 2025, GoviEx commenced a drilling campaign to test both the areas around the Muntanga and Dibbwi resources and better understand the uranium potential at Kariba Valley, which is situated on a trend approximately 70 kilometres to the south-east of the Muntanga resource.

Tombador have proposed an initial focus on the areas outlined in Section 3.5 and summarised below. These areas and activities are supported by VRM:

Brownfield

  • Upgrade Mineral Resource Estimates, Conduct concept, scoping or feasibility studies and mining approval activities as and when required

  • Muntanga East DTH and DDH drilling to extend and upgrade MRE. Follow up historical intercepts over a radiometric anomaly located approximately five kilometres from the Muntanga resource. Here, mineralisation is within the same EGF host rocks that contain the current MRE, and geological interpretation of existing data has suggested the potential for shallow mineralisation.

  • Chisabuka drilling to define an Inferred Resource where existing ground radiometric, mapping and drilling data indicates the Chisebuka mineralisation remains open up-dip, down-dip at depth and potentially on strike. Geological interpretation indicates the potential for shallow, gently dipping mineralisation that may extend for 4 km along strike and up to 1 km across strike, with prospective stratigraphy outcropping from surface to roughly 110 m depth.

Greenfield

  • Muntanga North: drill test large radiometric anomalies. Follow up with systematic drilling programs based on success with a view to defining an MRE.

  • Kariba Valley: Additionally, mapping and soil sampling will be carried out to validate geological interpretation and refine exploration planning for further drilling.

  • Radon surveys are planned for between Dibbwi and Kariba Valley licences, and to the north at Chirundu, where mineralisation is under cover. Drill testing of the identified priority radiometric anomalies will follow this work.

  • Continuously review and rank exploration concepts and target areas, consider tenement divestment where exploration programs have tested concepts effectively;

  • Consider the expansion of its asset base by pursuing acquisitions that have a strategic fit for the Company.

Section 9.1 summarises the proposed use of funds allocated to exploration activities.

9. Use of Funds

Tombador proposes to undertake a capital raise of at least A$5,000,000 (before costs), with the option to accept oversubscriptions to raise an additional A$5,000,000 (before costs).

Proceeds raised will enable the Merged Group to fund resource growth and advance the Muntanga Uranium Project, as well as facilitate Tombador’s re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX listing rules (Listing Rules) and secure re-admission to the ASX. Table 6 outlines the proposed use of funds using existing cash and proceeds of the capital raise.

VRM notes that GoviEx also has an option to acquire a 51% legal and beneficial interest in the mineral claims and rights to exploration licence Lundazi (32188-HQ-LEL) pursuant to an earn-in option agreement with Stalwart Investments Limited (SIL) dated 3 September 2024.

Regarding Madaouela legal costs, since 2007, GoviEx has been working on developing the Madaouela Uranium Project in Niger, held through Compagnie Miniere Madaouela SA (80% GoviEx, 20% the State). In July 2024, the Niger Ministry of Mines withdrew the associated mining permit, leaving GoviEx without rights to the project. GoviEx launched arbitration under ICSID in December 2024, claiming the withdrawal breached Niger’s mining law and State obligations. In February 2025, GoviEx and the State signed a letter of intent to negotiate a resolution, suspending arbitration while talks continue. VRM directs the reader to Tombador’s ASX announcement dated 18 August 2025 for further explanation.

9.1 Exploration Funding

The exploration strategy and prospects are discussed in more detail in the various project sections. Table 8 summarises the combined Year 1 and Year 2 expenditure by task and project/deposit area. The costs are shown as all-inclusive cost that includes the cost of drilling, sampling, assaying, mapping, personnel and all other on-costs to support expenditure activities. All costs are expressed in Australian dollars (A$) and are shown for the budget of $8,377,300 and $12,886,600 (assuming oversubscriptions are raised and including existing cash reserves) as further outlined in the ‘Use of funds’ table in the main body of the Prospectus.

54

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

In VRM’s opinion, the proposed exploration budget and work programs are appropriate, consistent with the exploration potential within the Muntanga Projects.

The exploration budget as presented includes exploration drilling; however, the exact number and depth of these drill holes are not available to document in this Report. This is reasonable, given the relatively early stage of exploration of the Projects. The proposed exploration budget is sufficient to meet the statutory minimum exploration expenditure on the granted tenements, which is A$1,923,076.

In VRM’s opinion, ongoing, targeted, and systematic exploration activities will likely extend known mineralisation and potentially discover additional mineralisation. VRM believes that the proposed programs have sufficient technical merit to justify the related expenditure, contingent on continued exploration success. VRM believes the Company intends to maintain the tenements in good standing by meeting or exceeding tenement expenditure commitments.

Appendix B JORC MRE Summary, Muntanga Uranium Project

The following information is taken from directly from Tombador ASX Announcement dated 18 August 2025 Schedule 3 Material Information Summary .

Geology and Geological Interpretation

Geologically, the Muntanga uranium mineralisation is situated within the Karoo Supergroup, which comprises thick, carboniferous to late Triassic age, terrestrial sedimentary strata and is widespread across much of what is now southern Africa. The Karoo Supergroup in the Project area consists of three formations within the Lower Karoo; the Siankondobo Sandstone Formation, overlain by the Gwembe Coal Formation, which itself is overlain by the Madumabisa Mudstone Formation. The Madumabisa Formation is unconformably overlain by the Upper Karoo which consists of four formations; the Escarpment Grit is overlain by the Interbedded Sandstone and Mudstone Formation, followed by Red Sandstone which is finally capped by the Jurassic Bakota Basalt Formation.

In the region, known uranium mineralisation typically occurs within the Upper Karoo. At the Project, all the known uranium mineralisation occurs within the Escarpment Grit. Uranium mineralisation appears to have been introduced after sedimentation (epigenetic) and occurs as fillings into pore spaces, fractures, joints, coatings on sand grains and occasionally along steeply dipping cross beds.

The mineralised zones are offset and impacted by various faults and fractures, but the mineralisation itself does not appear to have any significant structural controls. At Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East, northeast-trending faults likely controlled deposition of the Escarpment Grit “Braided Facies”, and faultrelated folds may control blind mineralisation in the Dibbwi and Dibbwi East area.

The source of the uranium is believed to be the surrounding Proterozoic gneisses and plutonic basement rocks. Having been weathered from these rocks, the uranium was dissolved, transported in solution and precipitated under reducing conditions in siltstones and sandstones

Drilling Techniques

OmegaCorp's 2006 and Denison’s 2007 to 2012 drilling campaigns consisted of DDH and RC drilling, predominately drilled vertically, along with some inclined holes. Limited checks on hole deviation demonstrated deviations of less than 2°. All DDH were drilled at angles ranging from 55° to 80°, and at a number of azimuths although dominantly towards 135° or 315°. Down-hole survey measurements were taken using a single-shot camera at 15 m down-hole intervals.

During the 2021 and 2022 GoviEx drilling campaigns, down-hole deviation surveys were conducted using a Boart Longyear Trushot digital survey tool. Deviation survey measurements were done at 5 m to 10 m interval spacing depending on the total depth of the hole. All drill cores and chips were systematically logged with a Terraplus RS-125 Gamma-Ray Spectrometer/ Scintillometer. This allows the geologist to identify uranium mineralisation in the core and to select intervals for geochemical sampling.

Sampling and Sub-Sampling

During Denison’s tenure, all percussion chips were collected via a cyclone and split on-site at the time of drilling. The cuttings for each metre were put through a riffle splitter to give an approximate 1.5kg primary sample, an approximate 1.5kg field duplicate and, depending on the hammer size, a residual bulk sample of approximately 15kg to 20kg. Approximately 10% of anomalous intercepts (more than twice the background level of counts per second (“cps”) as determined by a handheld scintillometer) in RC holes were selected for assay in 2012.

58

During the 2005 to 2007 drilling, approximately 1.5kg primary samples representing anomalous intervals of RC holes that collapsed before they could be probed were also sent for pressed powder x-ray fluorescence (“XRF”) analysis. During 2021 to 2023, no samples were collected from the DTH drilling as this drilling technique is an open-hole technique and therefore does not provide appropriate representative sample material for assaying.

Drill chip samples from RC and DTH drilling were laid out in piles next to the rigs for geological logging. They were logged for lithology, grain size, alteration, and colour. Representative samples were collected in chip trays for eventual relogging if required and storage at the Muntanga Camp core yard. All DDH were logged for lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation and geotechnical characteristics. Prior to core logging, down-hole geophysical probe information is reviewed, with the major lithological contacts, structures and mineralised horizons being inferred from the Gamma and conductivity readings. These inferences are then reviewed alongside the core.

Sample Analysis Method

Down-hole geophysical logging was conducted to measure the electrical properties of the rock from which lithologic information can be derived and natural gamma radiation, from which an indirect estimate of uranium content can be made. The down-hole geophysical probes measure the following parameters: conductivity, resistivity, self-potential, single point resistance, deviation and natural gamma.

Denison used an in-house developed computer programme known as GAMLOG to convert the measured cps of the gamma rays into an equivalent per cent U3O8 (eU3O8%). GAMLOG was based on other “standard” grade calculation programs that were developed within the uranium industry using Scott’s Algorithm developed in 1962.

Down-hole gamma data collected by GoviEx were converted into eU3O8 using the ALT Wellcad software supplied by an external geophysical contractor, Terratec Geophysical Services.

To facilitate a reliable conversion of down-hole radiometric probe data into equivalent uranium eU3O8, a deposit/probe-specific Radiometric-Grade correlation must be established. The Ra-Grade correlation for Muntanga was conducted by comparing geochemical sample assays to their corresponding probe data. Data was segregated into historical data comprised of down-hole gamma data predominately acquired by Denison from 2007 to 2012, and data collected by GoviEx during the 2021 to 2023 drilling campaigns.

Probe calibration was undertaken initially in the USA, using the Grand Junction DOE pits prior to delivery to site. Further periodic checks were undertaken using drill hole MTC51600-04 as a standard. If problems were detected in the probes in the test hole located at Muntanga, the equipment was sent back to the USA for repair and calibration.

Estimation Methodology

The Mineral Resource model considers 2,366 historical drill holes totalling 191,711 m of drilling completed between 2006 and 2012, and 468 drill holes drilled by GoviEx from 2021 to 2023.

Uranium grade data was composited to 1.0 m lengths within the grade shell boundaries, with all residual composites smaller than 0.5 m in length added to the adjacent composite interval. Assay samples were predominately collected using a 1.0 m sample length and eU3O8 data from down-hole radiometric probing is collected at 0.1 m intervals

Grade continuity analysis of uranium mineralisation was conducted on capped composites for each deposit. Variogram analysis was conducted using Seequent’s Edge software.

59

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

A parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5m was sub-blocked for volumetric reporting. Grade interpolation was conducted at the parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5m. Estimates of uranium grade (U3O8 ppm) were interpolated into the block model using OK, and a multiple-pass estimation strategy with successively expanding search criteria in subsequent estimation passes.

Block model validation was conducted using multiple techniques including:

  • Visual inspection of estimated block grades relative to composite grades

  • Swath plot analysis of grade profiles between OK, inverse distance (“ID2’) and nearest-neighbour (“NN”) block estimates, and

  • Statistical comparison of global average MRE estimated block grades and declustered composite grades (NN).

A dry density value has been applied to calculate tonnages in the block model. A total of 450 valid bulk density measurements were collected from DD cores across the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits. After the core was dried the density was determined by calculating the core volume which was then divided into the weighed dry mass to calculate the in-situ dry bulk density. A wax coating was used in 88% of the volume displacement density determinations, taking the rock’s porosity into account to prevent overstating the density.

Classification Criteria

Mineral Resource classification criteria considered the following components:

  • Quality of the data used to support MRE

  • Confidence in the interpretation of the mineralised zones

  • Average drill hole spacing within the deposits and

  • Estimation parameters including the number of drill holes and assay composites used to estimate a block.

The Muntanga deposit has been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources where the average drill hole spacing is less than 50 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than 75 m. No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at the Muntanga deposit.

The Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources where the average drill hole spacing is less than 80 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than 150 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters. No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at either the Dibbwi or Dibbwi East deposits.

Block model quantities and grade estimates were reviewed to determine the portions of the MRE having RPEEE from an open pit mine.

Mining and Metallurgical Assumptions

Block model quantities and grade estimates were reviewed to determine the portions of the MRE having RPEEE from an open pit mine, based on parameters summarised in the table shown below. SRK considers that the blocks located within the conceptual pit envelopes show RPEEE and can be reported as a Mineral Resource.

Metallurgical testing was carried out by the previous owners including African Energy Resources and Denison Mines prior to GoviEx completing their own program of works. The testwork was carried out on samples from Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East along as well as some work on Njame and Gwabi. The testwork focused on bottle rolls, column leaching (including geomechanical testing), ion exchange, impurity removal and uranium precipitation

The scope of test work for the samples generally included the following:

  • Particle size distribution (“PSD”) and chemical head assay

  • Curing acid optimisation (agglomeration and soaking) tests

  • Iso-pH (constant pH) acid consumption tests

  • Uni-axial compression (stacking) tests and hydrodynamic column tests

  • Leach column tests (6 m tall, 160 mm ID)

  • Ion exchange/ neomembrane filtration/ acid neutralisation/ uranium precipitation

  • Geochemical assays on residues and leach liquors.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

  • Criteria JORC Code explanation SamplingNature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, techniques random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

  • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

  • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Commentary

  • Drilling at the Dibbwi East, Dibbwi, and Muntanga deposits was completed in three major phases. Historically, drilling was conducted by AGIP and the Zambian Geological Survey (1973 to 1984), followed later by OmegaCorp and Denison (2006 to 2012), and most recently by GoviEx between 2021 and 2024.

  • • Drilling at the Gwabi and Njame deposits was managed by AFR and completed between 2006 and 2009. GoviEx conducted limited drilling at Njame and Gwabi from 2022 to 2024.

Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

  • During Denison’s tenure, all percussion chips were collected via a cyclone and split on-site at the time of drilling. The cuttings for each metre were put through a riffle splitter to give an approximate 1.5 kg primary sample, an approximate 1.5 kg field duplicate and, depending on the hammer size, a residual bulk sample of approximately 15 kg to 20 kg. Approximately 10 % of anomalous intercepts (more than twice the background level of counts per second (“cps”) as determined by a handheld scintillometer) in RC holes were selected for assay in 2012.

  • During the 2005 to 2007 drilling, approximately 1.5 kg primary samples representing anomalous intervals of RC holes that collapsed before they could be probed were also sent for pressed powder x-ray fluorescence (“XRF”) analysis.

  • In 2021 and 2022, no samples were collected from the DTH drilling as this drilling technique is an open-hole technique and therefore does not provide appropriate representative sample material for assaying.

Gwabi and Njame

  • AFR used well ‐ documented procedures for RC and DDH sample logging. In general, RC chips were logged immediately after drilling whereas the core was ‐

  • logged after being carefully joined up and marked on a V trough. The information recorded included lithological, structural, geotechnical, weathering/ oxidation and mineralogical logs. For cored holes, the mineralised zones of each were selected at the discretion of the logging geologist.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

The RC samples were collected as follows:
o
RC drill chips were collected at 1m intervals down‐hole using a cyclone into
PVC bags prior to splitting.
o
The collected samples were riffle split using multiple passes through a
single- stage riffle splitter; a final sample of approximately 2 kg was
collected for submission to the laboratory for analysis.
o
In wet holes, the samples were left to dry as best possible and then
homogenised and quartered by hand.
o
RC chip trays were systematically logged by collecting the sieved RC chips
and storing them in a tray, with each labelled compartment of the tray
containing the chips from 1 m.

The DDH sampling methodology was as follows:
o
Sampling was preceded by radiometric scanning of the core whilst on the
V‐frame. Scanning was carried out using either a RS‐125 spectrometer or
an Exploranium GR‐110G handheld scintillometer. Care was taken to
ensure minimum influence from any possible source of ionising radiation,
thus scanning of the core on the V‐trough was carried out at a minimum
distance from any suspected ionising radiation source.
o
The maximum sample length was 1 m and the minimum sample length was
0.25 m.
o
The total width of the sampled zone extended 2 m above and below the
mineralised zone as determined by the scintillometer readings.
o
The other guiding factor to sampling besides the scintillometer readings
was lithology. Sampling across lithologies was avoided where possible.
o
NQ core was sampled using half-core samples, while the PQ core was
sampled using a core saw taking a 25 mm wide ‘fillet’ from the core width.
o
Trained and supervised technicians sampled the drill core. Each sample
was taken from the left‐hand half of each piece of core for that metre
(leaving the half with the orientation line and/or metre marks in the tray)
and placed into an appropriate sample bag.
o
Calico sample bags with drawstrings were used for core sampling. Sample
tickets were used in the sampling process with one half (identical halves)
of each ticket, which had a printed sequence of sample numbers (six
figures), placed in the calico sampling bag.
o
The sample tickets were annotated with the drill hole number and the
sample interval. As part of the quality control protocols, the technician
verified that the metered interval marked on the core matched the metred
interval written on the sample ticket and matched the metered interval on

Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

Historically, all holes were drilled vertically, and no down-hole survey data were
available for historic drilling prior to the 2006 OmegaCorp drilling campaigns.

OmegaCorp's 2006 and Denison’s 2007 to 2012 drilling campaigns consisted
of DDH and RC drilling, predominately drilled vertically, along with some
inclined holes. Limited checks on hole deviation demonstrated deviations of
less than 2°. All DDH were drilled at angles ranging from 55° to 80°, and at a
number of azimuths although dominantly towards 135° or 315°. Down-hole
survey measurements were taken using a single-shot camera at 15 m down-
hole intervals.

During the 2021 and 2022 GoviEx drilling campaigns, down-hole deviation
surveys were conducted using a Boart Longyear Trushot digital survey tool.
Deviation survey measurements were done at 5 m to 10 m interval spacing
depending on the total depth of the hole.

Core logging and sampling methodologies used by GoviEx closely follow the
practices used by Denison.

All drill cores and chips were systematically logged with a Terraplus RS-125
Gamma-Ray Spectrometer/ Scintillometer. This allows the geologist to identify
uranium mineralisation in the core and to select intervals for geochemical
sampling.
Gwabi and Njame

The RC drilling technique was the primary method for obtaining suitable
samples for MRE at these deposits and was carried out along drill lines spaced
between 25 m and 50 m apart along prospective anomalies. All RC drilling at
Njame and Gwabi was completed by Capital Drilling (Zambia) Limited using rig
types typically similar to Schramm 450, medium-sized truck-mounted rigs with
air capability of 1,100 cfm/350 psi. All RC drilling was completed with a 5” face
hammer.

The majority of the DDH drilling was completed in 2008 and was carried out by
Capital Drilling (Zambia) Limited. A truck-mounted LF‐90 (Rig31) and a truck-
mounted LF‐90 (Rig26) rig were used. All DDHs were completed using PQ and
NQ wireline tools.

No detail has been provided regarding core recovery in historical drilling,
however for the drilling programs in 2021 and 2022 it is noted that core
recovery was recorded and was generally at 90% or above.

Based on the information available, there is nothing to indicate that bias is
being introduced into the sampling based on sample recovery. HQ3 triple
tube coring technique was used to minimize core losses, which were minimal.
Mineral Resource Estimates are based on downhole radiometric data so the
potential effects of poor sample recovery introducing bias is low.

Drill chip samples from RC and DTH drilling were laid out in piles next to the
rigs for geological logging. They were logged for lithology, grain size, alteration,
and colour. Representative samples were collected in chip trays for eventual
relogging if required and storage at the Muntanga Camp core yard.

All DDH were logged for lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation and
geotechnical characteristics.

Prior to core logging, down-hole geophysical probe information is reviewed,
with the major lithological contacts, structures and mineralised horizons being
inferred from the Gamma and conductivity readings. These inferences are then
reviewed alongside the core.

The core is then measured and metre marked, and the core yard technician
records core recovery, longest piece and scintillometer readings.

Once the core is marked up, a geologist records lithology, alteration, structure
and faults.

Down-hole geophysical logging was conducted to measure the electrical
properties of the rock from which lithologic information can be derived and
natural gamma radiation, from which an indirect estimate of uranium content
can be made. The down-hole geophysical probes measure the following
parameters: conductivity, resistivity, self-potential, single point resistance,
deviation and natural gamma.

Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

Records and details for drilling conducted on the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi
East deposits prior to 2006 (circa 1980) are not available to allow sufficient
verification of data collected during this timeframe. Therefore, all drilling prior
to 2006 has been excluded from the MRE process.

Drilling conducted by OmegaCorp (2006) and Denison (2007 to 2012) included
both percussion and diamond drilling. Drill core and/or chips were
photographed, logged, marked for sampling, split, bagged, and sealed for
shipment at their field logging facility.

From 2006 to 2008, the samples were transported in a dedicated truck from
Zambia to Johannesburg, South Africa where Genalysis Laboratory Services
(“Genalysis”) operates a dedicated sample preparation facility. Sample
preparation was carried out via a process of drying, crushing and milling of RC
and diamond core samples. Crushers were cleaned with a silica rock (waste
rock) after every sample. Milling was done in a ring and puck pulveriser and
contamination was avoided by cleaning with compressed air and silica rock
(waste rock) after every sample. With every batch of 40 samples one waste
rock blank was assayed, to monitor contamination.

From 2009 to 2012, sample preparation was undertaken at ALS Chemex in
Johannesburg. Received sample information was verified by ALS personnel
andloggedintheALS tracking system; a samplereceipt and samplelistwere

generated and sent to the appropriate authorised Denison personnel. Sample
preparation consisted of weighing and drying of each sample, followed by fine
crushing of the entire sample to 70 % passing -2 mm. A 250 g split was collected
from each sample and pulverised to 85 % passing 75 microns for analysis.
Gwabi and Njame

Sample preparation on site was restricted to core logging and splitting. Once
individual samples were placed in the calico bags, along with the sample ticket,
the bags were closed and taped firmly.

ALS Chemex Ltd was used as the principal analytical laboratory company for
U3O8analysis. The sample preparation was completed at ALS Chemex
Johannesburg, with analytical analysis (i.e. assaying) of the sample pulps
completed at either the ALS Chemex analytical laboratories in Johannesburg or
Vancouver, Canada. The ALS Chemex laboratories in Johannesburg and
Vancouverare both ISO 9001:2000 accredited.

The analytical method used by ALS Chemex is ME‐XRF 05. The method
description for this is as follows: “A pressed pellet is prepared and analysed by
wavelength dispersive XRF for the selected elements. Uranium (DL–2.5 ppm),
converted to U3O8(by ALS Chemex) using conventional conversion factors.”

2021, GoviEx used Ndola, Zambia prep facility of ALS Global. Here the samples
are crushed to >70 % passing through a 2 mm screen, and a 250 g subsample
is collected and pulverised to >85 % passing through a 75-micron screen (Tyler
200 mesh). The pulverised sample is then bagged and dispatched to ALS
Global’s Johannesburg analytical laboratory.
• Since 2021, sample analysis undertaken by ALS Global (ALS) has used their ME-
MS61 technique which involves a four-acid digest followed by ICP-MS and ICP-
AES. Results are sent via email to be authorised by GoviEx personnel for

Limited down-hole radiometric QAQC data are available to support the
historical drilling completed prior to 2006, however Denison’s drilling
campaigns, which represent the majority of historical data for the Muntanga,
Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits, used a variety of systematic checks and
standards for routine checking and calibration of down-hole radiometric logging
tools.

Probe calibration was undertaken initially in the USA, using the Grand Junction
DOE pits prior to delivery to site. Further periodic checks were undertaken
using drill hole MTC51600-04 as a standard. If problems were detected in the

probes in the test hole located at Muntanga, the equipment was sent back to
the USA for repair and calibration.

An exercise of repeat down-hole probing was completed by Denison on 14
selected drill holes to review the repeatability of the results from the down-hole
radiometric probe. Although the exercise was based on a relatively small eU3O8
database, results of the study suggested that the down-hole probe was
performing within acceptable limits.

CSA Global (“CSA”) conducted data verification exercises in 2009 and 2012 to
support the historical MRE updates completed by CSA. The following items
were included in their data verification process, including exploration protocols
used by Denison:
o
Core sampling, sample preparation and assaying
o
QAQC control procedures
o
Drill hole collar and down-hole deviation surveys
o
Down-hole radiometric logging procedures and results and
o
Database validation.

No material issues were identified by CSA regarding data collected by Denison.
For drill holes completed prior to Denison (circa 1980) on the Muntanga and
Dibbwi deposits with collar prefixes ‘DDH’ and ‘DWD’, a number of data
concerns were identified which could not be resolved due to insufficient
information available. Therefore, these drill holes were excluded from use
within the MRE process.

AFR completed twin hole drilling of RC and DDH to confirm AC holes, as well as
DDH to confirm RC holes. A total of 23 twins were completed and compared
versus the original holes during the exploration programmes at Njame and
Gwabi. Although some of the holes were not directly comparable due to extra
sampling requirements, the results indicate that the comparison between twin
holes is generally acceptable.

SRK conducted a review of the Project drill hole assay database, comparing
database entries to the original Lab assay certificates. Approximately 10 % of
historical assay database entries and 85 % of recent assay database entries
were validated against the original Lab assay certificates, and no errors were
noted.

No data validation was conducted on historical drill holes completed prior to
2006, as insufficient documentation and details were available for review.
Therefore, SRK excluded all historical data collected prior to 2006 from the
MRE process.

During the 2021 and 2023 drilling campaigns on the Dibbwi East deposit, radon
contamination was identified within some drill holes, causing inflated down-hole
radiometric signatures and overestimated eU3O8grades within those holes. The
down-hole location and extent of the radon contamination was found to be
associated with the presence of fracturing within the drill hole and depth of the
water table. Where fractures were encountered above the water table, radon
contamination was generally limited to above the water, and vice versa.

SRK reviewed the down-hole radiometric and eU3O8profiles for all 2021 and
2023 drill holes, and where radon contamination was identified, adjusted
(corrected) the eU3O8profiles to produce a more robust eU3O8grade profile.

SRK also reviewed the down-hole radiometric and eU3O8profiles for all historical
drill holes (circa 2006 to 2012), and where radon contamination was identified,
adjusted (corrected) the eU3O8profiles to produce a more robust eU3O8grade
profile. A total of 167 drill holes were identified as having variable degrees of
suspected radon contamination and were adjusted accordingly to produce
more robust eU3O8grade profiles.

SRK compared down-hole radiometric probe eU3O8grade data to
corresponding geochemical assays for drill holes located on the Muntanga,
Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits. The comparison was conducted for each
deposit separately and data were segregated into historical data collected by
Denison and recent data collected by GoviEx. This analysis was completed to
establish a radiometric- grade correlation to use for mineral resource

All historical data collected prior to 2006 were collected using the UTM
Coordinate: Arc 1950 Map Datum, Zone 35S. Drill collar surveys were
completed by Datum Surveying Consultants, from Lusaka, Zambia, using a
high-precision GPS.

Post 2006, drill collar locations were spotted on a grid and surveyed by
differential base station GPS using the WGS84 UTM zone 35S reference datum.
Drilling was conducted on a nominal drill hole grid spacing of 200 m northeast-
southwest by 100 m northwest-southeast. Drill collar elevations were estimated
by the Denison DGPS system, which was on average approximately 8m lower
than the previously used elevation datum for historical holes drilled in the
1980s. As a result, all historical data had been adjusted in elevation to fit the

Denison elevation datum at that time.

For the 2021 to 2023 drilling campaigns completed by GoviEx, all drill collar
locations were initially spotted using a handheld GPS and final collar surveys
were

by
professional
surveyors
(Benchmark
Geospatial
Engineering Consultants) using DGPS systems using the WGS84 UTM Zone
35S reference datum. Base stations were used as control points for the 2021
and 2022 final surveys. Check surveys of historical collar locations were also
performed during the 2021 and 2022 final surveys on all deposits.

As part of the 2021 and 2022 drilling campaigns, check surveys were
conducted on a limited number of historical drill hole collars to verify the location
and relative position of the historical collars to drill holes completed by GoviEx.
Through this verification exercise, it was determined that the UTM WGS84 drill
hole collar coordinates for the historical drill holes were on average
approximately 7.25 m off in the easting coordinate and 0.15 m off in the northing
coordinate. Therefore, all historical collar coordinates for drill holes located on
the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits were shifted to align with the
2021 to 2023 survey locations.

In addition, all drill hole collar elevations were adjusted to align with the 2023
LIDAR survey conducted on the Muntanga Project area in Q1 2023. All drill hole
collar adjustments were completed in preparation for mineral resource
estimation purposes.
Gwabi and Njame

Collar positions for all holes were initially established using handheld GPS. Drill
sites and access were cleared using a bulldozer when required and the drill
position was re‐marked using handheld GPS. Upon hole completion, each drill
hole was left with a polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) collar tube cut at ground level.
The collar coordinates were re‐checked using handheld GPS. Subsequently,
most drillhole collars were surveyed with a differential global positioning system
(“DGPS”) by a professional surveyor (Chris Kirchhoff) and Lusaka-based
Rankin Engineering.

Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.

From 2021 to 2023 GoviEx carried out drilling mostly on the Dibbwi East deposit
to infill the existing drill pattern to a 100 m line spacing with drill holes at 50 m
between holes. Selected areas were drilled at a closer spacing of 25 x 25 m to
assess the continuity of mineralisation for MRE purposes.

The AC method was only used at the early-stage exploration at Njame in 2006,
and all subsequent drilling at the Njame and Gwabi deposits was completed by
RC and DDH techniques.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

RC drilling was used for obtaining suitable samples for MRE at the Njame and
Gwabi deposits and was carried out along drill lines spaced between 25 m and
50 m apart along prospective anomalies.

No sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.


The uranium bearing horizons at Dibbwi East, Dibbwi & Muntanga follow the
stratigraphy and are flat-lying. At Njame & Gwabi uranium mineralization has a
gentle dip of 10-20 degrees, Most holes have been drilled vertical which is the
optimum angle for testing the mineralization. No bias in the drilling orientation
has been identified.

During the 2021 and 2022 GoviEx drilling campaigns, core orientation was
conducted using a Boart Longyear Trucore UPIC orientation tool and down-
hole spear. Orientation of the drill core was completed on every drill run for the
DDH.

In 2023, a structural defect analysis was conducted across the Project area
using only geotechnical logging data from 13 out of 14 drillholes, due to joint
orientation logging issues and low-confidence data from earlier resource holes.
At Dibbwi Pit a steep NW dipping set was present but not consistently detected
in both boreholes due to orientation bias, however at Dibbwi East Pit although
orientations varied, all identified joint sets were assumed to be present
throughout the pit.

Although some variations in joint sets were identified per drillhole, the absence
of a joint set in one drillhole, where it was present in others, was considered
unreliable due to potential drillhole orientation biases. Joint sets identified in
one pit but not in others were considered to be ubiquitous across all sites and
applied to all pits. The joint data presented in this section was used as the basis
to determine the risk of structurally controlled failures across the study area.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

From 2006 to 2008 following sample preparation, the assay pulps were
forwarded by Genalysis to its Perth, Australia assay laboratory where the
samples were held in secure, quarantined storage.

Between 2009 and 2012, sample analysis was undertaken at ALS Minerals in
Johannesburg, South Africa where access to the assay laboratory premises
was restricted by an electronic security system and sample results were stored
using encryption and password protection.

AFR drilling procedures required samples to be taped closed once taken from
the RC sampling site or diamond core sampling facility. Samples were then
transported directly to Lusaka, Zambia for air freight to ALS Chemex
Johannesburg.
Audits or
Reviews

The results of any audits of sampling techniques and
data.

SRK is not aware of any independent audits or reviews that have been
undertaken on the Project, except for the verification activities completed by
previous operators and CSA described in preceding sections.
Competent persons’ comments:

In the opinion of the CP, the sample preparation, security, and analytical
procedures meet industry standards, and the QAQC programmes, as designed
and implemented by GoviEx and past operators, are adequate; consequently,
the assay and down-hole probe data within the drill hole database are suitable
for MRE purposes. The 2024 drilling was primarily outside of the Muntanga,
Dibbwi and Dibbwi East mineralised zones, and drilled for sterilisation,
hydrological, and geotechnical purposes and as such not used in the MRE.

The CP has reviewed and analysed the results of data verification programmes
conducted by previous companies and accepts the results of these programmes.
Based on this review and analysis, along with the additional data verification
conducted directly by SRK, the CP is of the opinion that the Project drill hole
database is adequate to support the current geological interpretation of the
Project uranium deposits and to support the estimation of Mineral Resources.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Project encompasses three mining licences – Muntanga (Licence no.
13880- HQ-LML), Dibbwi (Licence no. 13881-HQ-LML), and Chirundu (Licence
no. 12634- HQ-LML), covering 691 km2. Additionally, the Company holds two
exploration licences for Nabbanda (Licence no. 22803-HQ-LEL) and Chirundu
Extension (Licence no 22075-HQ-LEL), and a recently granted mining licence
for Kariba Valley (Licence no. 38555-HQ-LML), which expands the total
combined area to 1,100 km². The Mineral Resources reported herein are
contained within these licences.

100% of the Muntanga and Dibbwi mining licences, which comprise the
Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits, was acquired by GoviEx in a
share purchase agreement from Rockgate Capital Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Denison Mines Corporation on June 13, 2016. 100% of the
Chirundu mining licence, which contains the Njame (north and south) and
Gwabi deposits, and the Kariba Valley (Chisebuka) exploration licence, was
acquired from AFR, on October 31, 2017.

The Nabbanda exploration licence, acquired by GoviEx on February 5, 2019,
was successfully renewed and approved in 2023. The Chirundu Extension
exploration licence, a new GoviEx application, was granted in 2023. In 2024,
GoviEx Uranium Zambia Limited applied for the conversion of the Kariba Valley
exploration licence to a mining licence. The application has been validated was
granted final approval from the Mining Licence Committee in December 2024.

In 2008, the Zambian Government introduced the Mines and Minerals

Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Uranium was first identified in the area in 1957 by ground survey which
located five anomalous areas in the vicinity of Bungua Hill, west of Siavonga.
In 1958 and 1959, Chartered Exploration found low-grade uranium
mineralisation that could be followed for over 800 m of strike extent.

The main exploration took place between the late 1970s and mid 1980s initially
by the Geological Survey of Zambia (“GSZ”), followed by AGIP SpA (“AGIP”),
an Italian petroleum company. The AGIP exploration campaign included a
regional ground radiometric surveying programme which highlighted numerous

73

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

radiometric anomalies along the northern shores of Lake Kariba including
Dibbwi and Chisebuka. Several of the anomalies were investigated via more
detailed ground radiometric surveying and subsequent drilling. Their campaign
predominantly focused on the Muntanga and Dibbwi deposits, and in 1983/4 a
small uneconomic resource was outlined at Njame but AGIP ceased work in
1985.

setting

The Project area is situated within the Karoo Supergroup, which comprises
thick, carboniferous to late Triassic age, terrestrial sedimentary strata and is
widespread across much of what is now southern Africa.

The Karoo Supergroup in the Project area consists of three formations within
the Lower Karoo; the Siankondobo Sandstone Formation, overlain by the
Gwembe Coal Formation, which itself is overlain by the Madumabisa Mudstone
Formation. The Madumabisa Formation is unconformably overlain by the
Upper Karoo which consists of four formations; the Escarpment Grit is overlain
by the Interbedded Sandstone and Mudstone Formation, followed by Red
Sandstone which is finally capped by the Jurassic Bakota Basalt Formation.

The Project is situated in the mid-Zambezi Rift Valley. In the region, known
uranium mineralisation typically occurs within the Upper Karoo. At the Project,
all the known uranium mineralisation occurs within the Escarpment Grit. The
underlying Madumabisa Mudstone appears to have acted as an impermeable
barrier controlling the base of the mineralisation.

Uranium mineralisation appears to have been introduced after sedimentation
(epigenetic) and occurs as fillings into pore spaces, fractures, joints, coatings
on sand grains and occasionally along steeply dipping cross beds.

Stratabound uranium mineralisation in the Escarpment Grit is known in the
lower part of the “Meandering Facies” at Njame, and the upper part at Dibbwi.
Association with boundaries between sandstone-dominated stratigraphic units
suggests that permeability contrast is a factor controlling uranium
mineralisation.

Widespread soft-sediment folds suggest syn-depositional seismic activity and
fault re-activation, with potential seismic pumping of diagenetic fluids
contributing to the mineralisation event.

The mineralised zones are offset and impacted by various faults and fractures,
but the mineralisation itself does not appear to have any significant structural
controls.

At Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East, northeast-trending faults likely
controlled deposition of the Escarpment Grit “Braided Facies”, and fault-related
foldsmay controlblindmineralisation intheDibbwiandDibbwi East area.

74

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==


The Njame uranium deposit consists of Escarpment Grit exposed on a gentle
dip slope which faces to the southeast. In the northwest, the slope is a much
steeper scarp controlled by the position of a northwest dipping normal fault.

Gwabi uranium mineralisation forms a broadly tabular body that dips very
gently to the southeast and occurs at very shallow depths of between 3 m and
29 m below surface. In the northwest, the slope is a much steeper scarp
controlled by the position of a northwest dipping normal fault. Minor post-
mineralisation faulting has locally caused metre-scale offsets to the
mineralisation and may have truncated the mineralisation along its southern
boundary.

The source of the uranium is believed to be the surrounding Proterozoic
gneisses and plutonic basement rocks. Having been weathered from these
rocks, the uranium was dissolved, transported in solution and precipitated under
reducing conditions in siltstones and sandstones. Post-lithification fluctuations
in the groundwater table caused dissolution, mobilisation and redeposition of
uranium in reducing, often clay- rich zones and along fractures.

Mineralisation is not strictly associated with a particular unit in the stratigraphic
section. It is observed to occur in both the fine-grained and coarser material
and in mudstones, especially where fractures and mud balls occur. Some
mineralisation occurs in association with manganese oxide or disseminated
with pyrite.

Mineralisation in some bore holes is seen to occur where there was a grey
alteration, limonite and feldspar alteration and in dark grey mudstones.

In 2025 a campaign started testing high priority areas, ranging from near-mine
targets that could extend Muntanga and Dibbwi to a potential larger-scale
opportunity at Kariba Valley, situated on strike and on trend 70 kilometres to the
south-east of Muntanga.
The two main targets being;

Muntanga East where follow up historical intercepts over a radiometric anomaly
located five kilometres from the planned Muntanga open pit, in the same
Escarpment Grit Formation host rocks that contain the current resource.
Geological interpretation of existing data suggests a conceptual shallow
exploration target ranging from two to four million pounds of U₃O₈at grades
between 150 and 350 ppm; and

Kariba Valley where available drilling data as well as ground radiometric and
mapping data confirms that the Chisebuka mineralisation remains open up-dip,
down-dip at depth and potentially on strike. Geological modelling suggests a
shallow, gently dipping mineralized body that can be traced for approximately 4
km along strike and up to 1 km across, with mineralised horizons cropping out
from surface to roughly 110 m depth. On this basis, GoviEx has delineated a
conceptual model to guide exploration with targets of 20–30 million lb U₃O₈, and
grades estimated between 150–300 ppm, consistent with the grades already
defined at Muntanga-Dibbwi.

In 2009, data were entered into DHLogger software on laptops in the field and
then transferred into a Fusion database. Hard copies of drill logs are stored at
the site.

At GoviEx in 2021 and 2022, the DDH core data were collected using tablets
and the Seequent MX Deposit Application, with data stored directly in the cloud.
Local backup and backup to the company’s cloud server were carried out
regularly. Most of the core mark-ups and photography are done on the drill pad
so that the quality of the core is not lost during transport to the core farm.

Data from the 2006 to 2012 drilling programme was converted by Denison
using an in-house developed computer program known as GAMLOG to
convert the measured cps of the gamma rays into an equivalent per cent U3O8
(“eU3O8%”), while down-hole gamma data collected by GoviEx from 2021 to

The primary uranium mineralisation in the Karoo rocks of the Project conforms
to a sandstone-hosted fluvial channel-type deposit. Sandstone uranium
deposits are contained within medium to coarse-grained sandstones
deposited in a continental fluvial or marginal marine sedimentary environment.

Impermeable shale or mudstone units are interbedded in the sedimentary
sequence and often occur immediately above and below the mineralised
horizon. Uranium is mobile under oxidizing conditions and precipitates under
reducing conditions, and thus the presence of a reducing environment is
essential for the formation of uranium deposits in sandstones.

Mineralisation domains for the Gwabi and Njame deposits were generated
using the three-dimensional (“3D”) software package Gemcom Surpac®
(“Surpac”). Uranium mineralisation occurs in fine to coarse-grained
sedimentary units consisting of siltstone, sandstones, pebbly/gritty sandstones,
and grits-to-pebble conglomerates. Mineralised lenses occur as sub-parallel

78

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

layers with shallow dips of 2° to 5° to the southeast at Njame and to the east-
northeast at Gwabi and were defined using a 100 ppm U3O8COG.

At Njame, the main concentration of uranium mineralisation occurs at the
contact between sedimentary sequences where there is rapid change from fine
to coarse sediments. At Gwabi, the main concentration of uranium
mineralisation is hosted in a 10 m to 20 m thick coarse-grained sandstone
located above a thick siltstone/ mudstone unit.

Mineralisation domains used for MRE within the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi
East deposits have been defined based on grade shells generated using a 100
ppm eU3O8cut-off with an 80 ppm eU3O8cut-off low-grade halo. The updated
mineralisation domain models incorporate additional drill hole information and
database QAQC conducted since the previous MREs were completed in 2023
for Muntanga, Dibbwi East and Dibbwi (SRK, 2023). 3D grade shells were
generated using Leapfrog software predicated on equivalent uranium (eU3O8)
grade data obtained from down-hole radiometric probing.

Njame:

The drill hole database was composited to 1 m down-hole composite intervals,
within the modelled Mineral Resource wireframes; more than 90 % of samples,
within the modelled mineralisation, were 1 m length or less and the mining
approach is assumed to be reasonably selective.

Residual (partial) composites less than 40 % of the 1 m interval were rejected
from further study.

The composites have been grouped into two main modelled zones for the
purposes of statistical analysis; Njame North and Njame South, as many of
the individual modelled lenses are small and contain statistically insignificant
numbers of samples.

The U3O8grade distribution displays a positive skew with a moderate coefficient
of variation.

Upon review of the basic statistics and histogram charts, a high-grade cap of
2,500 ppm U3O8was selected.

Grade continuity was modelled using variography calculated and modelled
within the geostatistical software Isatis and in the mining package Surpac.

Variography was generated for the U3O8variable, based on the 1 m capped
down-hole composites. In summary, the key aspects of the variography are:
o The relative nugget has been modelled at approximately 35 %
o 40 % relative variance is modelled to a range of 40 m and
o The overall range of 120 m major, 90 m semi-major, and 8 m minor is noted
to be more than the current drill spacing.

The variography indicates that moderate levels of short-range variability
exist, which is consistent with this mineralisation style.

Residual (partial) composites less than 40 % of the 1 m interval were rejected

search criteria and sample numbers as summarised in the table below.

  • Sub-block grades were assigned the grade of the parent block.

  • Block model validation conducted as part of the original estimation process included:

  • Review of the block estimate and the composite data in cross-section, long- section and plan views

  • Comparison of the mean grade of the estimate versus the mean grade, subdivided by estimation domain

  • Comparison of composite grades and block model grades broken down into nothing and reduced level (“RL”) zones.

  • AFRs validation indicates that the Mineral Resource model replicates the source input data well in regions of higher-density drilling. In the regions where the data density is lower, smoothing is evident, however, the estimates are considered appropriate.

  • SRK validated the grade estimates for Gwabi and Njame by conducting independent estimates using alternative estimation parameters and found that the results agreed very closely with those achieved in the AFR models. In the opinion of SRK, the AFR Mineral Resource models for the Gwabi and Njame deposits are reasonable representations of the global U3O8 Mineral Resources at the current level of sampling.

  • Uranium grade data was composited to 1.0 m lengths within the grade shell boundaries, with all residual composites smaller than 0.5 m in length added to the adjacent composite interval. Assay samples were predominately collected using a 1.0 m sample length and eU3O8 data from down-hole radiometric

probing is collected at 0.1 m intervals.
Statistics show total proportions of uranium grade data based on down-hole
radiometric data vary within each deposit but typically comprise the majority of
the total grade data set (by drill hole mineralised length) for each deposit.
A sensitivity study was run to determine the effect of the inclusion or exclusion
of minor intervals during the compositing process for the Muntanga deposit.
The minor intervals affected reduced the U3O8composites mean grade by 16
%. On investigation the majority of these minor intervals are associated with
very thin mineralized horizons. The CP decided to exclude these minor
intervals to prevent them negatively biasing the resource estimates. This was
dealt with by adjusting the minimum coverage parameter in LeapfrogTM to 100
%.
Outlier analysis was conducted on the 1.0 m composited data for all deposits.
Histograms and normal quantile plots were generated for each data population
and used to assess appropriate grade capping thresholds. Composites were
capped before grade estimation.
Grade continuity analysis of uranium mineralisation was conducted on capped
composites for each deposit. Variogram analysis was conducted using
Seequent’s Edge software. Variogram parameters used for grade interpolation
are provided in the table below.
A parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5 m was sub-blocked for volumetric reporting.
Grade interpolation was conducted at the parent block size of 20 x 10 x 2.5 m.
Estimates of uranium grade (U3O8ppm) were interpolated into the block model
using OK, and a multiple-pass estimation strategy with successively expanding
search criteria in subsequent estimation passes.
Outlier restrictions were used for the Muntanga and Dibbwi East deposits to
mitigate the potential of over-estimation of grade due to the presence of a small

number of high uranium-grade composites.
A summary of the estimation parameters used for the Muntanga, Dibbwi and
Dibbwi East deposits is provided in the table below.

==> picture [370 x 228] intentionally omitted <==

Block model validation was conducted using multiple techniques including:
o Visual inspection of estimated block grades relative to composite grades
o Swath plot analysis of grade profiles between OK, inverse distance (“ID2’)
and nearest-neighbour (“NN”) block estimates and
o Statistical comparison of global average MRE estimated block grades and
declustered composite grades (NN).
A reasonable visual correlation between the block estimates and composite
data can be observed.
A reasonable correlation between the OK, ID2 and NN estimates is observed
on swath plots, with the OK estimates showing slightly lower grade profiles for
all three MREs. The lower grade profile seen in the OK estimate is associated
with the secondary high-grade restrictions used in the estimation workflow (i.e.,
Muntanga and Dibbwi East) and the sample weighting scheme derived from
the OK algorithm.

Moisture
Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or
with natural moisture, and the method of determination
of the moisture content.
• A dry density value has been applied to calculate tonnages in the block model.
Cut-off
parameters

The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality
parameters applied.

SRK considers that the blocks located within the conceptual pit envelopes
show RPEEE and can be reported as a Mineral Resource.
Mineral Resources are reported within the pit shell with a U3O890ppm cut-off
value calculated for all pits, except for Gwabi where a 110ppm cut-off was
applied due to significantly lower demonstrated recoveries.

Mineral Resources are constrained within an optimised pit shell using a
uranium price of USD100 /lb U3O8, mining costs of USD3.30 /t, processing
costs of USD9.00 /t, additional mining costs of USD0.55 /t, G&A costs of
USD1.50 /t, Transport costs of USD1.50 and a royalty of 5 %.

Mineral Resources are reported at a U3O8COG within the optimised pit shell
and are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

Mineral Resources are inclusive of mineralisation in the 80 ppm halo but
reported above the relevant cut-off and classed as Inferred Resources. This
mineralisation represents approximately 5 % of the total Mineral
Resourcesmetal(Mlb).
Mining
factors or
assumptions

Assumptions
made
regarding
possible
mining
methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal
(or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always
necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable
prospects
for
eventual
economic
extraction to consider potential mining methods, but
the assumptions made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may
not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this
should be reported with an explanation of the basis of
the mining assumptions made.

Block model quantities and grade estimates were reviewed to determine the
portions of the MRE having RPEEE from an open pit mine, based on
parameters summarised in the table shown below. SRK considers that the
blocks located within the conceptual pit envelopes show RPEEE and can be
reported as a Mineral Resource.

* A U3O890 ppm cut-off value was calculated for all pits, except for Gwabi where a 110 ppm cut-off was applied due to
significantly lower demonstrated recoveries.

The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding
metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as
part of the process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider
potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions
regarding metallurgical treatment processes and
parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources
may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case,
this should be reported with an explanation of the basis
of the metallurgical assumptions made.

Metallurgical testing was carried out by the previous owners including African
Energy Resources and Denison Mines prior to GoviEx completing their own
program of works. The testwork was carried out on samples from Muntanga,
Dibbwi and Dibbwi East along as well as some work on Njame and Gwabi.
The testwork focused on bottle rolls, column leaching (including
geomechanical testing), ion exchange, impurity removal and uranium
precipitation

The scope of test work for the samples generally included the following:
o
Particle size distribution (“PSD”) and chemical head assay
o
Curing acid optimisation (agglomeration and soaking) tests
o
Iso-pH (constant pH) acid consumption tests
o
Uni-axial compression (stacking) tests and hydrodynamic column tests
o
Leach column tests (6 m tall, 160 mm ID)
o
Ion exchange/neomembrane filtration/acid neutralisation/uranium
precipitation
o
Geochemical assays on residues and leach liquors.

Environmental
factors or
assumptions

Assumptions made regarding possible waste and
process residue disposal options. It is always
necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable
prospects
for
eventual
economic
extraction to consider the potential environmental
impacts of the mining and processing operation. While
at
this
stage
the
determination
of
potential
environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields
project, may not always be well advanced, the status
of early consideration of these potential environmental
impacts should be reported. Where these aspects
have not been considered this should be reported with
an explanation of the environmental assumptions
made.

An environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) was prepared for the Chirundu
(Njame and Gwabi) sites in 2008. This was based on baseline data collected
between March 2007 and February 2008 (AFR, 2008). Similarly, an
environmental impact study was prepared for the Project in 2009 by African
Mining Consultants (“AMC”) as part of the Denison Feasibility Study (MDM,
2009).

As of December 2024, AMC is in in the final stages of a full ESIA process that
builds on the earlier studies but includes a comprehensive update of the
baseline studies and assessment of the impacts based on the new project
design. GoviEx is committed to developing the Project to International Finance
Corporation (“IFC”) standards and the ESIA process has been scoped to
achieve this.

The Project will result in the resettlement of a number of villages and
accordingly AMC are developing a resettlement action plan (“RAP”).

The potential environmental impacts of the Project are being systematically
assessed using the source-pathway receptor framework. An environmental
management plan (“EMP”) will form part of the AMC deliverable. AMC plans
to finalise the ESIA in quarter (“Q”) 1 2025 and submit the report for regulatory
comment and approval towards the end of Q1. The regulatory consultation
process for the ESIA and RAP is expected to take approximately 6 to 12
months.

None of the identified impacts constitute a fatal flaw. Several potentially
significant social and environmental impacts have been identified. However,
adequate mitigation measures have been shown for these impacts so that no
unacceptable environmental and social risks persist following mitigation
Bulk density
Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the
basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method
used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the
measurements,
the
nature,
size
and
representativeness of the samples.

The bulk density for bulk material must have been
measured by methods that adequately account for
void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and
differences between rock and alteration zones within
the deposit.
Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

A total of 450 valid bulk density measurements have been collected from DD
cores across the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits. After the core
was dried the density was determined by calculating the core volume which was
then divided into the weighed dry mass to calculate the in-situ dry bulk density.
A wax coating was used in 88 % of the volume displacement density
determinations, taking the rock’s porosity into account to prevent overstating
the density.

The mean and median density values are 2.1 t/m3with very low variance and
coefficient of variation (“CoV”) values There was no recognisable correlation
between density and depth or lithology. A global dry bulk density of 2.1 t/m3

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used
in the evaluation process of the different materials.
was used for the estimation of the Muntanga, Dibbwi and Dibbwi East Mineral
Resources.

A global dry bulk density of 2.1 t/m3has been assigned for tonnage reporting
for all three deposits. SRK noticed variations related to lithology and redox
state. However, the individual sample populations are not significant and
therefore SRK recommends that more density values be collected in the future
to improve local density estimates. The CoV of the density values is in the
order of < 0.06. Therefore, the use of a mean density value is suitable for the
current MRE.
Gwabi and Njame

Specific gravity (“SG”) determinations were carried out by AFR. The method
applied to density collection included sun drying, weighing the core in air,
followed by plastic wrapping and weighing in water. The bulk density was then
determined as a ratio of weight in air overweight in water. The weighing was
completed using high-quality electronic scales which underwent regular
calibration.

Samples were taken from the dominant rock types at both Njame and Gwabi.
The average measured density per logged rock type for all samples weighing
more than 1.0kg for each rock type was recorded.

Based on the sample data, mineralised lenses at Njame were assigned
uniform densities ranging from 1.98 t/m3to 2.08 t/m3dependent on the
dominant sedimentary lithology type hosting the mineralisation. At Gwabi, a
global density of 2.09 t/m3was used for Mineral Resource reporting.
Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral
Resources into varying confidence categories.

Whether appropriate account has been taken of all
relevant
factors
(i.e.
relative
confidence
in
tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data,
confidence in continuity of geology and metal values,
quality, quantity and distribution of the data).

Whether
the
result
appropriately
reflects
the
Competent Person’s view of the deposit.

Mineral Resource classification criteria considered the following components:
o
Quality of the data used to support MRE
o
Confidence in the interpretation of the mineralised zones
o
Average drill hole spacing within the deposits and
o
Estimation parameters including the number of drill holes and assay
composites used to estimate a block.

The Gwabi and Njame deposits have been classified as Measured Mineral
Resources where the drill hole spacing is less than 50 x 25 m. Indicated Mineral
Resources have been classified where drill hole spacing is less than 50 x 50
m spacing, with all remaining Mineral Resources classified as Inferred Mineral
Resources.

The Muntanga deposit has been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources
where the average drill hole spacing is less than 50 m and blocks were
estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral
Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than

88

==> picture [111 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

75 m. No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at the Muntanga
deposit.

The Dibbwi and Dibbwi East deposits have been classified as Indicated
Mineral Resources where the average drill hole spacing is less than 80 m and
blocks were estimated by pass 1 estimation parameters. Inferred Mineral
Resources were classified where the average drill hole spacing was less than
150 m and blocks were estimated by pass 1 or pass 2 estimation parameters.
No Measured Mineral Resources were classified at either the Dibbwi or Dibbwi
East deposits.

Block model quantities and grade estimates were reviewed to determine the
portions of the MRE having RPEEE from an open pit mine, based on
parameters given above.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral
Resource estimates.
Dibbwi East, Dibbwi and Muntanga

Numerous historical Mineral Resource Estimates (“MRE”) have been prepared
by a variety of companies and consultants using several different
methodologies. Considering the successive exploration drilling completed at
the project, all estimates, in general, compare favourably and demonstrate
similar U3O8grades and tonnages.

The most recent historical Mineral Resources as at September 12, 2013. SRK
does not consider the historical estimates to be relevant or reliable, as
additional drilling and data analysis have been completed as part of the 2021
and 2022 work campaigns. The CP has not completed sufficient work to
classify the historical estimates as current Mineral Resources and as such
GoviEx is not treating these estimates as current.
Gwabi and Njame

An MRE for the Njame and Gwabi deposits and the Chirundu Project as a whole
(now part of the Project) was conducted in 2009. GoviEx is not treating the
estimate as current because additional work has beenundertaken.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative
accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource
estimate using an approach or procedure deemed
appropriate by the Competent Person. For example,
the
application
of
statistical
or
geostatistical
procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the
resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative
discussion of the factors that could affect the relative
accuracy and confidence of the estimate.

The CP is satisfied that the mineralisation domain models honour the current
geological understanding of the project area, and the location of the drill hole
data and quality of uranium grade data are sufficiently reliable to support
resource evaluation.

The CP considers that the blocks located within the conceptual pit envelopes
show RPEEE and can be reported as a Mineral Resource.

  • The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.

  • These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.

Tenure can include third-party ownership of the Minerals (for example, a royalty stream). Tenure and Title have the same connotation as Tenement.

Transparency or being Transparent requires that the reader of a Public Report is provided with sufficient information, the presentation of which is clear and unambiguous, to understand the report and not be misled by this information or by omission of Material information that is known to the Practitioner.

Valuation is the process of determining the monetary Value of a Mineral Asset at a set Valuation Date.

Valuation Approach means a grouping of valuation methods for which there is a common underlying rationale or basis.

Valuation Date means the reference date on which the monetary amount of a Valuation in real (dollars of the day) terms is current. This date could be different from the dates of finalisation of the Public Report or the cut-off date of available data. The Valuation Date and date of finalisation of the Public Report must not be more than 12 months apart.

Valuation Methods means a subset of Valuation Approaches and may represent variations on a common rationale or basis.

Valuation Report expresses an opinion as to monetary Value of a Mineral Asset but specifically excludes commentary on the value of any related Securities.

This meant that the files at the time that we reviewed them may not have contained all documents that may have been lodged in relation to the said licence. We

3

were advised that this did not imply that the documents were not lodged at the Mining Cadastre.

  • 2.3 The officer we dealt with advised that there existed a separate portal (“Internal Mines Portal”) where he was able to determine the compliance status of a Licence Holder. In view of this, you will note below that we shall refer to the Internal Mines Portal that determines the compliance status of the individual Licence Holder separately from our review of the Documents that we have had sight of.

  • 2.4 We have also reviewed the following legislation in preparing this legal opinion:

  • (a) Companies Act No 10 of 2017.

  • (b) Minerals Regulation Commission Act No. 14 of 2024.

  • (c) Zambian Environmental Management Act No. 12 of 2011.

  • 2.5 Further, we have undertaken electronic searches at the Companies Registry at the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (“ PACRA ”), Lusaka High Court Registry, Ndola High Court Registry, Kitwe High Court Registry, and the Mining Cadastre in relation to the Licence Holders. A summary of the search results is set out in the Schedule hereto (the “ Searches ”).

3. Assumptions

  • 3.1 In our examination of the Documents and for the purpose of preparing this legal opinion, we have assumed:

  • (a) that all parties other than the Licence Holders have the capacity, power and authority to enter into or issue the Documents and that such parties have duly authorised, executed, issued and delivered those Documents to which they are a party;

  • (b) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures, stamps and seals on all Documents, the authenticity of all original documents and the conformity to original documents of all Documents produced to us as copies (save where there are obvious factors evidencing a lack of authenticity of such documents, in which case we shall raise appropriate enquiries);

  • (c) that the copy of the Documents obtained by us from the official public records at various public registries as outlined in paragraph 2.1 above are complete, true and accurate and up to date and that no amendments have been made to the Documents; and

  • (d) within the opinion where statements are qualified by the terms “we understand that”, “we have been informed that” or any equivalent statement, such statements are included in the opinion on the basis of responses received from Malan or its representatives to our enquiries (which have not been independently verified).

4. General overview of mining concessions granted in the Republic of Zambia

  • 4.1 The primary law governing the mining sector in Zambia is the Minerals Regulation Commission Act, No. 14 of 2024 (the “ Minerals Act ”), which repealed and replaced the Mines and Minerals Development Act, No. 11 of 2015 (the “ Repealed Mines Act ”) in June 2025. Note however that despite the repeal of the Mines Act, any licence, permit, certificate or authorisation issued under the Repealed Mines Act shall continue to be valid until the expiry, revocation or surrender of the said licence. Therefore, all licences issued to the Licence Holders under the Repealed Mines Act shall accordingly remain valid[1] .

  • 4.2 Under Zambian law, there are two types of mining concessions, these being mining rights and non-mining rights. The mining rights include exploration licences and mining licences whereas non-mining rights include mineral processing licences, mineral trading licences and gold panning licences. Under mining rights, there are small scale and large scale exploration and mining rights. However, emphasis throughout this opinion shall be made to the large-scale mining rights as those are the rights held by the Licence Holders.

4.3 Mining Rights

A. Exploration Licenses

  • 4.3.1 An exploration licence is a licence that grants the holder the right to undertake searches for a mineral(s) by any means and carrying out of such works, and removal of such samples, as may be necessary to test the mineral bearing qualities of any land and define the extent and determine the economic value of a mineral deposit.[2]

  • 4.3.2 An exploration licence is granted for an initial term of 4 years and a large-scale exploration licence is renewable for two further periods not exceeding three years each. A small-scale exploration licence on the other hand cannot be renewed. Further, at each renewal, a holder of a large-scale exploration licence is required to relinquish fifty percent of the exploration area[3] .

  • 4.3.3 The Minerals Act in accordance with the Environmental Management Act, 2011 further provides that a person shall not undertake exploration activities without obtaining the prior written approval of the environmental impact assessment relating to the exploration operations by the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (“ ZEMA ”) through a decision letter.

  • 4.3.4 Once granted with a large-scale exploration licence, the holder of the licence is expected to comply with the following[4] :

  • (a) pay the relevant taxes under the Income Tax Act, Chapter 323 of the laws of Zambia;

  • (b) promote local business development;

1 Section 97 of the Minerals Act.

2 Section 2 of the Minerals Act.

3 Section 17 of the Minerals Act.

4 Third Schedule of Mines and Minerals Development (General) Regulations, 2016.

  • (c) execute the environmental management plan;

  • (d) employ and train Zambians;

  • (e) execute the programme of prospecting;

  • (f) commence the exploration operations within one hundred and eighty days of grant of the licence;

  • (g) give notification of any discovered minerals or commercial deposits within thirty days of the discovery;

  • (h) give preference to Zambian products and services;

  • (i) permanently preserve or make safe any water boreholes and surrender water rights on expiry of licence;

  • (j) surrender to Government the drill cores and other mineral samples;

  • (k) remove, within sixty days of the expiry, cancellation or termination of the exploration licence, any camp, temporary buildings or machinery and repair or make good any damages as required under the Minerals Act;

  • (l) keep and preserve such records as the Minister may prescribe in relation to the environment;

  • (m) submit reports to the Minerals Regulation Commission (the “ Commission (in the current absence of the Commission, to the Director of Geological Survey, Director of Mines and Director of Mines Safety) in both hard and electronic copies;

  • (n) keep full and accurate records of the prospecting operations, at the holder’s office;

  • (o) obtain appropriate insurance for all phases of its operations;

  • (p) submit a Pegging Certificate for approval within one hundred and eighty days of grant of the licence; and

  • (q) comply with the provisions of the Minerals Act and other relevant laws of Zambia.

B. Mining Licences

  • 4.3.5 A mining licence on the other hand confers on the holder exclusive rights to carry on mining and exploration in the mining area and to do all such other acts and things as are necessary for, or incidental to, the carrying on of those operations. A mining licence in Zambia has the characteristics highlighted below.

  • 4.3.6 A holder of a mining licence may: (a) enter onto the mining area and take all measures on or under the surface for the purpose of the mining operations; (b) erect the necessary equipment, plant and buildings for the purposes of mining, transporting, dressing or treating the mineral recovered in the course of mining operations; (c) dispose of any recovered mineral product, and in the case of recovered gemstones, as prescribed by the Minister of Mines and Minerals Development, by statutory instrument; (d) explore for any mineral within the mining area; and (e) stack or dump any mineral or waste products within the licenced area[5] .

  • 4.3.7 A mining licence is granted for an initial period of not exceeding: (a) two years, for artisanal mining; (b) ten years, for small-scale mining; and (c) twenty-five years, for large-scale mining. The holder of the relevant licence is allowed to apply for renewal of the licence and an application for the renewal of a mining licence must

5 Section 24 (5)of the Minerals Act

6

be submitted within the following timeframes prior to the licence’s expiry: three months for artisanal mining, six months for small-scale mining, and one year for large-scale mining[6] .

  • 4.3.8 Further, a holder of a large-scale mining licence is obligated under the Minerals Act, to:

    • (a) develop the mining area in accordance with the approved programme of mining operations;

    • (b) execute the environmental management plan;

    • (c) implement the local business development programme;

    • (d) employ and train Zambians in accordance with the approved program;

    • (e) demarcate the mining area and keep it demarcated;

    • (f) pay mineral royalty in accordance with the Minerals Act and the Income Tax Act, Chapter. 323 of the laws of Zambia;

    • (g) maintain at the holder’s office complete and accurate technical and financial records of the mining operations;

    • (h) permit authorised officers, at any time, to inspect all records, mining and mineral processing operations;

    • (i) submit statutory reports and any other information concerning the mining or mineral processing operations, including annual mine plans and sections, primary and secondary developments, ore recovery and treatment and production costs; and every two years; ore resources and reserves statements.

    • (j) submit a copy of the annual audited financial statements within three months of the end of each financial year;

    • (k) submit reports on external supplies of ore, concentrates, tailings, slimes or any other mineral fed to the plant;

    • (l) provide current information on recovery from ores, mineral products, production costs and sales;

    • (m) conduct operations only upon meeting the requirements of the Environmental Management Act;

    • (n) contribute to the Environmental Protection Fund as required under the Minerals Act;

    • (o) obtain appropriate insurance for all phases of the mining operations;

    • (p) give preference to Zambia products and services;

    • (q) submit a Pegging Certificate for approval within one hundred and eighty days of the grant of the licence; and

    • (r) comply with the provisions of the Minerals Act and other relevant laws of Zambia.

  • 4.4 Non-Mining Rights: the Minerals Act defines non-mining rights as any rights stemming from a mineral processing licence or mineral trading permit, mineral import permit, mineral export permit and gold panning certificate granted under the mining legislation[7] . A mineral processing licence grants the holder exclusive rights to beneficiate or liberate valuable minerals from their ores through various processes such as crushing, grinding, screening, concentration, leaching, smelting, refining, and other related operations. In contrast, a mineral trading permit entitles the holder to exclusively trade in minerals, gemstones, or mineral products. Mineral export and import licences provide

6 Regulation 21 of the Mines and Minerals Regulations 2016

7 Section 11(2) of the Minerals Act

7

exclusive rights to import and export minerals, gemstones, or mineral products, ensuring lawful cross-border mineral transactions. Finally, a gold panning certificate gives the holder exclusive rights to pan for gold within a designated, clearly defined area, but such certificates cannot be issued over land already subject to an existing mining right or mineral processing licence.

4.5 Transfer of Mining and Non-mining Licenses

  • 4.5.1 The Minerals Act regulates the transfer or disposal of mining rights and mineral processing licences. A holder of such a right, or any person with an interest in it, cannot transfer, assign, encumber, or otherwise deal with the right without prior approval from the Commission and the production of a valid tax clearance certificate issued by the Commissioner-General of the Zambia Revenue Authority.[8]

  • 4.5.2 Further, the Minerals Act stipulates that a holder of a mining right or a mineral processing licence shall not, after the date of the grant of the right or licence, without the prior written approval of the Commission[9] :

  • (a) register the transfer of any share or shares in the company to any person or that person’s nominee if the effect of doing so would give that person control of the company; or

  • (b) enter into an agreement with any person if the effect of doing so would be to give that person control of the company.[10]

  • 4.5.3 In view of this, a mining licence cannot be transferred, encumbered or dealt with for instance through the creation of a royalty without the Commission’s approval. The change of control of a licence holder similarly requires the Commission’s approval. In the absence of the Commission, such approval is being obtained from the Minister of Mines as was the case under the Repealed Mines Act.

  • 4.5.4 Note that a failure to obtain this consent may result in the cancellation of the licence involved.

  • 4.5.5 Once the transfer or any other application to the Commission (or Minister of Mines) is approved, the transferee assumes all rights, liabilities, and obligations of the transferor under the licence for the remainder of its unexpired term[11] .

5. Legal Opinion

Subject to the assumptions contained in paragraph 3 above, we are of the opinion that (having made due and careful enquiry):

The Board of Directors Tombador Iron Limited Level 4, 66 Kings Park Road West Perth WA 6005

Dear Board Members

INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF TOMBADOR IRON LIMITED (TO BE NAMED ATOMIC EAGLE LIMITED)

Introduction

This Independent Limited Assurance Report (“Report”) has been prepared for inclusion in a prospectus to be dated on or around 6 October 2025 (“Prospectus”) and issued by Tombador Iron Limited (“the Company”) in relation to the Company’s offer of 17,857,143 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.28 per share to raise $5,000,000 (before costs) (“the Public Offer”). Oversubscriptions of up to a further 17,857,143 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.28 per share to raise up to a further $5,000,000 (before costs) may be accepted.

This Report has been included in the Prospectus to assist potential investors and their financial advisers to make an assessment of the financial position and performance of the Company. All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars and expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

This Report does not address the rights attaching to the shares to be issued in accordance with the Offer, nor the risks associated with accepting the Offer. HLB Mann Judd (“HLB”) has not been requested to consider the prospects for the Company, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder, and accordingly has not done so, nor purports to do so. HLB has not made and will not make any recommendation, through the issue of this Report, to potential investors of the Company, as to the merits of the Offer and takes no responsibility for any matter or omission in the Prospectus other than the responsibility for this Report.

Further declarations are set out in Section 7 of this Report.

This Report has been divided into the following sections:

  1. Scope of Report;

  2. Directors’ Responsibility; 3. Our Responsibility;

  3. Conclusions;

  4. Restriction on Use;

  5. Liability; and

  6. Declarations.

Independent Limited Assurance Report

1. Scope of Report

We have been engaged to perform a limited assurance engagement and to report on the Financial Information as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus.

This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. HLB disclaims any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which this Report relates for any purposes other than the purpose for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.

Historical Financial Information

The historical financial information, as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus, comprises:

  • the historical Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 and half year ended 30 June 2025 for Tombador Iron Limited and its subsidiaries (“Tombador”) and separately for GoviEx Uranium Inc and its subsidiaries (“GoviEx”);

  • the historical Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 and half year ended 30 June 2025 for Tombador and separately for GoviEx;

  • the historical Statements of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023, 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2025 for Tombador and separately for GoviEx;

(together the “Historical Financial Information”).

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act insofar as it relates to the Financial Information of Tombador. The Historical Financial Information of GoviEx has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Historical Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all the presentation, disclosures, statements or comparative information as required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act or International Financial Reporting Standards.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The pro forma financial information, as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus, comprises:

  • the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position of the Group (following the acquisition of GoviEx by the Company) as at 30 June 2025, prepared on the basis that the pro forma adjustments and subsequent events had occurred as at 30 June 2025; and

  • the Notes to the pro forma financial information,

(together, the “Pro Forma Financial Information”).

References to “the Group” relate to the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tombador Iron Singapore Pte Ltd, and ultimately GoviEx Uranium Inc and its subsidiaries, once GoviEx Uramium Inc is acquired.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information of the Company and GoviEx, after adjusting for the effects of pro forma adjustments as described in Section 8 of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Section 8 of the Prospectus, as if those event(s) or transaction(s) had occurred at 30 June 2025. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information does not represent the Group’s actual or prospective financial position, financial performance or cash flows.

Independent Limited Assurance Report

This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. HLB disclaims any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which this Report relates for any purpose other than the purposes for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.

2. Directors’ Responsibility

The Directors of the Company and GoviEx Uranium Inc are responsible for the preparation and presentation of their respective Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Financial Information.

This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3. Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Financial Information based on the procedures performed and evidence we have obtained. Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or reissuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

In relation to the information presented in this Report:

  • a) support by another person, corporation or an unrelated entity has not been assumed; and

  • b) the amounts shown in respect of assets do not purport to be the amounts that would have been realised if the assets were sold at the date of this Report.

4. Conclusions

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of the Company, as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus, is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements, and nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of GoviEx, as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus, is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of International Financial Reporting Standards.

Independent Limited Assurance Report

Pro Forma Financial Information

Based on our review, which was not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group as set out in Section 8 of the Prospectus is not presented fairly, in all material respects, with the measurement and recognition requirements (but not all of the presentation and disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.

5. Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Section 8 of the Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

6. Liability

The liability of HLB is limited to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus. HLB makes no representation regarding, and has no liability for, any other statements or other material in, or omissions from, the Prospectus.

7. Declarations

  • a) HLB will be paid its usual professional fees based on time involvement, for the preparation of this Report and review of the Financial Information, which is estimated to be $25,000 plus GST;

  • b) Apart from the aforementioned fee, neither HLB, nor any of its associates will receive any other benefits, either directly or indirectly, for or in connection with the preparation of this Report;

  • c) Neither HLB, nor any of its employees or associated persons has any interest in the Company or the promotion of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

  • d) HLB Mann Judd are appointed as the Company’s auditors;

  • e) Unless specifically referred to in this Report, or elsewhere in the Prospectus, HLB was not involved in the preparation of any other part of the Prospectus and did not cause the issue of any other part of the Prospectus. Accordingly, HLB makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any other part of the Prospectus; and

  • f) HLB has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.

Yours faithfully

HLB Mann Judd Chartered Accountants
