EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.

BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTION

As announced to ASX on 26 June 2025, the Company issued Shares to new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $3.20 per Share to raise $85 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

The Placement completed on 3 July 2025 and comprised the issue of 26,562,500 Shares that were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Shares ).

Funds raised from the Placement, in conjunction with existing cash of approximately $55 million (as at 24 June 2025), are intended to be allocated and utilised for the following purposes:

  • $64 million for construction activities ahead of FID, including earthworks and design;

  • $40 million for infrastructure costs pertaining to construction, water and power; and

  • $36 million for general working capital and costs of the Placement.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, Shaw and Partners Limited and Jett Capital Advisors LLC (together, the Joint Lead Managers ) acted as joint lead managers and joint book runners to the Placement.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company seeks approval for the issue of the Placement Shares to enhance the Company’s flexibility to consider and, if required and appropriate, implement a further capital raising under a refreshed 15% issuance capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 in conjunction with a financing and final investment decision ( FID ) to build the Etango Uranium Mine. As previously announced, the Company targets a positive FID during 2025, market conditions permitting. In the absence of the approval sought under Resolution 1, the Company would be unable to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval until 3 July 2026. While the issue of further equity securities may not be required for the Company to undertake a FID (depending on the final funding route that might be selected), the inability to do so for this period without Shareholder approval has the potential to adversely impact the Company’s flexibility and breadth of options in making a FID during 2025 should favourable market conditions develop.

1. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES

1.1 Shareholder approval sought

Please refer to the “Background to Resolution” section above for information about the Placement and Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively used the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares to zero.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, under Resolution 1, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, meaning that the Company will not be able to issue any equity securities without Shareholder approval for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

The Company confirms that the issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the issue occurred.

1.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to, and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors who are clients of one or more of the Joint Lead Managers (or co-managers) following a bookbuild process carried out for the purposes of the Placement.

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that:

  • (i) Paradice Investment Management Pty Ltd, a substantial holder in the Company, was issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital under the Placement (being 2,601,127 Placement Shares); and

(ii) MM Asset Management Inc., a substantial holder in the Company, was issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital under the Placement (being 2,265,625 Placement Shares).

4

  • (c) 26,562,500 Shares were issued under the Placement and were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued on 3 July 2025;

  • (e) the Placement Shares were issued at $3.20 per Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $85,000,000, which will be used for the purposes set out in the “Background to Resolution” section above;

  • (g) there are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the issue of the Placement Shares; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 (the details of which are set out in the Notice of Meeting).

1.3 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
