Mardie Highlights

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Multi-generational and sustainable opportunity with annuity style income

  • Pilbara coast is a proven production region for high-quality, consistent salt with five existing solar evaporation salt projects, owned by Rio Tinto and major Japanese companies, operating here for up to 50 years

  • Mardie is a rare opportunity (the first in 25 years) to develop a largescale, low cost, environmentally sustainable solar evaporation project in northwest Australia

  • An inexhaustible seawater resource will be concentrated through solar and wind evaporation (99% of energy requirement) to sustainably produce 5.35Mtpa[1] of high purity salt and 140Ktpa of sulphate of potash (‘SOP’) fertiliser from waste salt bitterns

  • Mardie is integrated with its own port – significant cost advantages over other WA SOP projects which are based on inland lake brines and >700km road transport to public ports

  • Underpinned by strong market demand from the Asian chemical industry and global agricultural industry

  • Offering attractive multigenerational annuity-style EBITDA of ~$250M per annum over 60+ years

Underwriting Agreement: Key Terms

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Overview

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ABN 19 075 071 466) ('Underwriter') is appointed as the exclusive underwriter, bookrunner and lead manager to the Placement and SPP (together, the 'Offer'). The Company has entered in an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter in respect of the Offer ('Underwriting Agreement'). The Underwriter will underwrite the balance of the Placement Shares not allocated to Wroxby and AustralianSuper (after any scale back).

The Underwriting Agreement is subject to certain terms and conditions which are customary for an Underwriting Agreement of this type, including conditions precedent, representations, warranties and indemnities (in favour of the Underwriter), undertakings in favour of the Underwriter and termination rights.

Summary of AustralianSuper Sub Underwriting

AustralianSuper has agreed to sub-underwrite up to $20 million of the SPP. AustralianSuper has entered into a Sub-underwriting Letter with the Underwriter. AustralianSuper will receive a fee of 1% of (the number of AustralianSuper’s sub-underwritten securities multiplied by the fixed price per New Share and in the event that AusstralianSuper have shortfall securities allocated to it and meets all of its obligations to subscribe for those shortfall securities, then 0.25% of the number of shortfall securities (if any) allocated to AusstralianSuper multiplied by the fixed price per New Share. There are no significant events that could lead to the Commitment and Sub-underwriting Letter being terminated, other than termination of the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the Underwriter or where shareholder approval is not received for the issue of SPP shares at the upcoming general meeting. If AustralianSuper is required to take up its full sub-underwriting allocation, it and its associates would increase their voting power in the Company by 3.3% up to 18.4 % on the issue date of the Offer (assuming shareholder approval is received for the Offer and the Company does not scale back their subscription).”

46

Placement Agreement: Key Terms

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Overview

Company has entered into a Placement Agreement ('Placement Agreement') with AustralianSuper. Under the terms of the Placement Agreement, AustralianSuper has agreed to subscribe for, up to 174,418,605 New Shares at an issue price of $0.43 per New Share to raise up to $75 million with the Company’s ability to scale back AustralianSuper’s subscription to no less than $70 million.

Conditions Precedent

Completion of the subscription is subject to:

  • the Company obtaining shareholder approval (no later than 24 December 2021) for the issue of the New Shares to AustralianSuper under the Placement Agreement and the issue of Series 1 Convertible Notes under the Convertible Note Subscription Deed; and

  • contemporaneous completion under the Convertible Note Subscription Deed or on such date as agreed between the parties.

The latest date on which these conditions can be satisfied is 31 January 2022, after which AustralianSuper may terminate.

Termination Events

There are a limited number of termination rights under the Placement Agreement. The termination rights are customary, including AustralianSuper’s entitlement to terminate the Placement Agreement in the event the Convertible Note Subscription Deed is terminated, the capital structure is altered (subject to certain carve outs) or the agreement is materially breached and not remedied within a certain timeframe.

Undertakings

The Company has agreed to minimal undertakings that are customary and fall away after allotment and issue of the New Shares to AustralianSuper.

Representations/ Warranties

Representations and warranties are given by the Company in relation to its existence, authority, disclosure, capital structure and ability to “cleanse” the New Shares.

47

Key Risks (1)

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Development of the Mardie Salt and Potash Project

The Company’s ability to successfully develop and commercialise the Mardie Salt and SOP project ('Mardie' or 'Project') may be affected by numerous factors including but not limited to: macro-economic conditions, obtaining required approvals, ability to obtain sufficient funding, ability to procure contractors, materials, equipment and services and costs overruns. If the Company is unable to mitigate these factors and others not listed here, this could result in the Company not realising its development plans at Mardie or result in such plans costing more than expected or taking longer to realise than expected. Ultimately, this could have an adverse impact on the Company’s share price.

Capital and Operating Cost Risks

The capital and operating cost estimates in the Mardie Optimised Feasibility Study ('OFS') are subject to potential changes or increases. The overall OFS capital cost and operating cost estimates have been independently reviewed by GR Engineering which confirmed the estimates to be a Class 3 estimate, based on the level of engineering and design developed during the study, according to the AACE International Recommended Practice No 18R-97 with an estimate accuracy of ±10 to 15%. There is no certainty that through the tender process these capital costs estimates can be achieved and could be subject to cost overruns materially impacting the viability of Mardie during construction.

In addition, there are many operational risks with some of them beyond BCI’s control. BCI’s operations may be curtailed, delayed or suspended as a result of factors such as adverse weather conditions, cyclone event, mechanical difficulties, labour shortages or increases in costs for labour, reagents, consumables, spare parts, external services (including gas supply), ocean freight, industrial disputes, penalties and suspension of operations. Production ramp-up has assumed monthly average temperatures and rainfall conditions at Mardie and may incur unexpected delays and costs if adverse weather events occur.

Commodity Price and Exchange Rate Risks

If the Company is able to successfully develop and commission Mardie, future Australian dollar revenue from Mardie is subject to the sale of both salt and SOP products exposing the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risk. Salt and SOP supply demand dynamics, technological advancements and other macro-economic factors have the potential to impact pricing. Future expert reports may contain salt and SOP pricing, or actual salt and SOP prices may be, materially lower than those included in the OFS report resulting in Mardie being uneconomic with the project deferred until market conditions improve.

The Company’s revenues and cash flows are currently derived from the Iron Valley project. Mineral Resources Limited ('MIN') operates the mine entirely at its cost and purchases Iron Valley product from the Company at a price linked to MIN’s realised iron ore sales price. The Company’s financial performance is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the iron ore price. Iron ore prices may be influenced by numerous factors and events that are beyond the control of the Company, including increased global supply, decreased demand, currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, regulatory changes and other factors. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the future iron ore price. Changes in iron ore prices may have a positive or negative effect on the Company’s financial performance, as well as its future project development and production plans and activities, together with its ability to fund those plans and activities.

Construction Contracting Risks

The Company plans to outsource substantial parts of the development and construction of Mardie to third party contractors. Such contractors may not be available to perform services for the Company when required or may only be willing to do so on terms that are not acceptable to the Company. Further, performance may be constrained or hampered by the contractor’s capacity constraints, mobilization issues, plant, equipment and staff shortages, labour disputes, managerial failure and default or insolvency. Contractors may not comply with provisions in respect of quality, safety, environmental and land access compliance and timeliness, which may be difficult to control. In the event that a contractor underperforms or is terminated the Company may not be able to find a suitable replacement on satisfactory terms within time or at all. These circumstances may have a material adverse effect on the development and construction of Mardie.

Design Risk

The Company has undertaken extensive FEED studies regarding pond design on higher cost packages. However, adjustments to designs may be required before or during construction, resulting in cost increases or construction delays. The Company has also completed early pilot studies on production of market specification SOP samples, resulting in improvements to plant design. However further pilot studies may also result in requirement for redesign of the process plants, resulting in increased capital expenditure and installation delays.

Process Plant Design, Recovery and Product Specifications

Project development has inherent risks due to a number of variables having to be managed. This could lead to equipment not performing as required or as expected, not achieving nameplate design capacity, not achieving expected recoveries of salt and potassium or final product specifications, increased maintenance and overall operating costs.

The production of SOP is reliant on the Company’s ability to produce salt feedstock from the SOP crystallisers for the SOP plant. Insufficient feedstock would adversely impact the Company’s ability to produce saleable quantities of SOP, resulting in a negative impact on the Company’s business and financial position.

48

Key Risks (2)

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Offtake Risk

There is no certainty that BCI will be able to enter into binding offtake agreements in a timely manner, with acceptable parties, for sufficient volumes or on reasonable terms to satisfy the debt funding requirements. Offtake contracts could be entered into at a lower price to prices used in the OFS and are subject to counterparty risk. Further, any deterioration in Australia’s trading relationships with potential offtake countries including China may adversely affect the Company’s prospects for securing offtake arrangements. An inability to enter into offtake arrangements on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to draw down Project finance, and the commerciality of the Project.

Competition Risk

The market for the supply of salt and SOP is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company believes that will be in a robust competitive position in the salt and SOP markets, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities of its competitors, which activities may affect the operating and financial performance of the Company.

Funding Risk

Although Project debt termsheets have been agreed with Lenders, the facilities are still subject to long form documentation and finalization of intercreditor principles (including interactions between debt equity providers) and there is no certainty that the required levels of debt can be secured in a timely manner or on reasonable terms. BCI will be required to meet certain conditions (including obtaining minimum offtake commitments, financial metrics and approvals) prior to Project debt drawdown, and any delay or inability to meet these conditions may result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company’s activities. In addition, it is expected that Project debt terms will involve the granting of security over the Project, and any failure by the Company or a subsidiary to meet its commitments under any debt facilities may result in this security being enforced.

The Placement, Convertible Notes and the Underwriting of the SPP are subject to shareholder approvals – there is a risk approval may not be obtained for one or more resolutions and the funds could not be raised as proposed or that a party terminates or defaults.

The Company may not be able to draw-down on, and issue, the Series 2 and Series 3 Convertible Notes if certain conditions are not met, including the Company and AustralianSuper discussing and agreeing to any additional conditions to the issue of the relevant series of notes as the Company’s Project financers may reasonably require by 30 June 2022.

The funds raised under the Offer and the Convertible Notes, together with the existing cash reserves of the Company, the future income from the Iron Valley project, and the proposed corporate and project debt, are considered sufficient to meet the funding requirements for the development of the Project. However, the Company may require further financing in addition to these amounts in the event of cost overruns or unanticipated liabilities or expenses or if any component of the Offer or the issue of Convertible Notes is unable to be completed or future iron ore income or corporate debt facilities are lower than forecast or not available at all. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. Failure to obtain any additional required funding may result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company’s activities. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available when needed, or, if available, the terms of the financing may not be favourable to the Company.

Convertible Note Risk

Upon the issue of the Convertible Notes, the noteholder may become entitled to demand immediate repayment of the outstanding face value of, and accrued interest on, the Convertible Notes if an event of default occurs in relation to the Company. Such a demand may impact the solvency of the Company, or the Company’s ability to fund the Project. In addition, the occurrence of an event of default in relation to the Convertible Notes may constitute an event of default under the terms of any Project finance and entitle the Project financiers to enforce their security over the Project.

The issue of the Series 2 Convertible Notes and Series 3 Convertible Notes is conditional upon the Company, AustralianSuper and the Project financiers reaching an agreement on intercreditor arrangements in respect of the Series 2 Convertible Notes and Series 3 Convertible Notes. A failure to reach agreement on these matters would result in the Company being unable to draw down the Series 2 Convertible Notes and Series 3 Convertible Notes

Underwriting Risk

The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement (Underwriting Agreement) with Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited pursuant to which Canaccord has agreed to underwrite, subject to shareholder approval, the balance of the Placement Shares not allocated to Wroxby or AustralianSuper (after any scale back) and $20M of the SPP, which is subunderwritten by AustralianSuper. Canaccord will act as lead managers and bookrunners to the Offer, all subject to certain terms and conditions. If shareholder approval is not obtained to one or more of the resolutions or certain termination events occur, Canaccord may terminate the Underwriting Agreement in respect of either or both of the Placement and SPP as relevant. In addition, the commitments received for the Placement are conditional upon the Underwriting Agreement being in place and as such if Canaccord terminates the Underwriting Agreement following a termination event, then the commitments for the Placement and the underwriting of the SPP will also not proceed. See slides 45 and 46 for a summary of the key terms. Refer to the Company's notice of meeting released to ASX on or about 18 November 2021 (‘Notice of Meeting’) for additional information as to the terms, conditions and termination events under the Underwriting Agreement.

49

Key Risks (3)

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Control risk

Upon completion of the Placement and SPP (assuming full subscription and shareholder approvals), the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 599,957,864 to approximately 1,204,609,027. Further, if the Series 1, 2 and 3 Convertible Notes are converted to shares, then the number of Shares on issue would increase to 1,510,638,455.

The Company’s major shareholder, Wroxby, intends to subscribe for 255,813,953 Shares in the Placement and maintain its voting power of approximately 39%. Wroxby has informed BCI that it is presently supportive of BCI’s current direction, objectives and management. Wroxby has advised BCI it does not currently intend to: (i) make or propose any significant changes to BCI’s existing business, existing financial or dividend policy; or (ii) become involved in decisions with respect to future employment, the transfer of property or the redeployment of fixed assets except to the extent such decisions require shareholder approval under the Listing Rules or as a matter of law.

AustralianSuper intends to subscribe for up to 174,418,605 Shares in the placement and sub-underwrite the offer of 46,511,628 SPP Shares (each subject to Shareholder approval). The potential maximum voting power of AustralianSuper after completion of the Placement and SPP is 18.4% (assuming no shareholder subscribes for SPP Shares). The Company has agreed to grant AustralianSuper a right to nominate a director to the Board upon acquiring voting power in the Company of 15% or more.

In addition, if the Series 1, 2 and 3 Convertible Notes are converted to Shares, the maximum voting power of AustralianSuper would be 34.2%. The increase of AustralianSuper’s voting power above 20% would require further shareholder approval (or the availability of an alternative exception to the takeover prohibition in Section 611 of the Corporations Act). Refer to slide 44 showing AustralianSuper voting scenarios.

Further details on the potential control impact of the Placement, SPP and Convertible Notes on the control of the Company are set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Inclement Weather and Natural Disaster Risk

The Company's operational activities at Mardie are subject to a variety of risks and hazards that are beyond its control including hazardous weather conditions such as cyclones, excessive rain, flooding and fires. Mardie is located in a designated region D cyclone area (the highest) and is considered to be subject to severe tropical cyclones and therefore subject to more stringent Building Code and Australian Standards. Severe tropical cyclones and high rainfall may result in disruption or damage to construction works, roadways and pond walls. Once in production, if flood waters enter the ponds it will increase the total evaporation time and impact the production rate.

AMN and HFR risk

There is the risk that Highfield Resources’ Muga Potash and Salt Project and Agrimin’s Mackay Potash Project do not provide any opportunities or future upside and the projects may not ever get developed. There is risk that the value of the AMN and HFR shares will decrease and this will adversely effect BCI’s ability to sell the shares if required as an additional source of funds. There is no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the AMN and HFR shares

Environmental Approvals and Risks

There is a risk that BCI does not achieve Environmental Protection Act 1986 (WA) Part IV environmental approval for the entire Mardie Project or the approvals may be materially delayed or be approved subject to conditions that are materially different to thos envisaged. Material delays of >3 months or more can impact the start of construction and/or delay project implementation of the Mardie Project. Mardie received a positive referral (in relation to the DFS project description) to the Minister and BCI is now in the advanced stages of finalising the appeals process, with the Minister making a determination that the appeals do not require any further assessments. Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 11 November 2021 titled ‘Mardie Appeals Determined’. BCI is working closely with the relevant State and Federal government departments and Ministers to secure timely environmental approvals. Further environmental approvals are required for the OFS project description which will be submitted following DFS Ministerial Statement being issued and if these approvals are not obtained or are materially delayed, then this may negatively impact the Mardie Project implementation and debt draw down. Until the final environmental approvals are in place, the exact conditions, management plans and associated project impacts are not certain, which may negatively impact CAPEX and OPEX.

The proposed operations of the Company will be subject to compliance with any granted approvals, and State and Federal laws concerning the environment. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with such approvals and laws. The occurrence of any damage to the environment, including unplanned discharge of hydrocarbons to the marine environment, could result in penalties, reputational damage, and delay, suspension or termination of the Company’s activities at Mardie.

Key Risks (4)

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Climate Change Risk

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the proposed operations and financial position of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include the risk of increased frequency of severe weather events which may damage the Company’s assets and interrupt operations, the risk of long-term shifting climate patterns which may negatively affect the evaporation processes proposed to be used by the Company in the production of salt and SOP, and the risk of rising sea levels which may adversely impact the operation of the evaporation ponds.

Tenure

BCI holds granted exploration tenements that permit the Company to undertake exploration and investigative works. The majority of applications for Mining Act tenements that allow construction and operation of all permanent infrastructure required for Mardie have been applied for, however, they are subject to access agreements being obtained with underlying tenure holders, and otherwise subject to Ministerial consent, and there is no certainty that they will be obtained in time, or at all, to allow construction of main project infrastructure in accordance with schedule. Inability to have key tenure granted in time could result in a material delay and/or postponement in development of Mardie. In addition, once granted there is no certainty that the Mining Leases required for Mardie will be extended or renewed further than 42 years (being the initial 21 year term plus a 21 year extension).

Land Access

Whilst negotiations with the gas pipeline owners are significantly advanced, there is no certainty that BCI will secure access agreements to support Mining Act 1978 tenure being granted for Mardie’s development. A delay or failure to enter into an access agreement to cross and operate in the vicinity of the gas pipelines to the south of the Mardie Project, or a material breach of those agreements, could materially impact the start date of construction, suspend construction or operational activities and cause a delay to the projected commencement date of or interrupt production and product shipments.

Gas Pipeline

Two gas pipelines traverse the Project area between the proposed site of evaporation ponds 2 and 3. BCI is working collaboratively with the pipeline owners to obtain approval to access the area within the vicinity of the gas pipelines and to address the potential risks and interferences of its proposed infrastructure on the gas pipelines. Whilst all identified risks to the pipelines will be either eliminated or engineered to ensure that any residual risks are reduced to “As Low As Reasonably Possible”, there is a possibility that Project construction could damage the gas pipeline resulting in significant loss to the Company, restriction or delay in Project construction, increased Project costs and exposures to liabilities assumed under the gas pipeline agreements including consequential losses.

Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage

The implementation of the Project will require Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 section 18 approvals and consents from the relevant aboriginal groups. There is no certainty that the section 18 applications will be granted and the project footprint may therefore require modifications.

There are sites of Aboriginal heritage within the Project area. Whilst the Company seeks to ensure it has all appropriate safeguards in place with respect to preservation of heritage areas, unplanned damage to heritage sites could negatively impact the Company’s reputation and business, result in penalties, restrict or delay Project construction, or result in revocation of the Company’s licence to operate the Project.

Port Approvals

The construction of a new export facility at Cape Preston West is critical to Mardie to allow efficient export of salt and SOP to the various markets. Whilst the formal written support of the Minister for Ports and the Minister for State Development has been obtained for the creation of a new multi-user port at Mardie, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to secure the Mardie port lease and licence, development approvals, construction approvals and associated documents on acceptable terms and conditions and on schedule from the Pilbara Ports Authority (“PPA”) which could result in a delay and/or postponement in development and/or a cost increase.

In addition, the new port requires the creation of a port reserve under the Land Administration Act and Port Authorities Act and also the consent of the tradition owners through the execution of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (‘ILUA’). There is a risk that the traditional owners do not execute the ILUA and that the port reserve creation process may be materially delayed. Material delays of >3 months or more can impact the start of port related construction.

Covid 19 Risk

The global economic outlook is uncertain due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, which has been having, and will likely continue to have, a significant impact on global capital markets, commodity prices and foreign exchange. Any infections occurring at site or access to site could force activities to be suspended for an unknown period of time, or reduce availability of contractors and personnel, or impact contract packages pricing assumptions, which could have an adverse impact on future development plans at Mardie.

Key Risks (5)

==> picture [180 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Data Security Risk

It is possible that the Company’s procedures and systems may not stop or detect cyberattacks, data theft and hacking. Cyber security breaches may result in business interruption and loss of commercially sensitive data, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Insurance Risk

The Company intends to insure its business activities and operations in accordance with standard industry practice and in accordance with the requirements of any land access agreements or approvals. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurances will be subject to certain limits, exclusions and deductibles and in certain circumstances, may not be available or of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance to cover all possible losses and liabilities. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance may cause substantial delays to Mardie and/or require significant capital outlays, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, the ability to source and maintain requisite insurances and the costs of such insurances may be negatively impacted by market factors and future events.

Health and Safety Risks

Mining and construction activities have inherent hazards and risks. The Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. The Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information, medical facilities and training to all stakeholders through its health and safety management system. A serious site health and safety incident may result in delays in construction of Mardie. A heath and safety incident which results in serious injury, illness or death may also expose the Company to significant penalties and the Company may be liable for compensation. These liabilities may not be covered by the Company's insurance policies or, if they are covered, may exceed the Company's policy limits or be subject to significant deductibles. Also, any claim under the Company's insurance policies could increase the Company's future costs of insurance. Accordingly, any liabilities for workplace accidents could have a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity and financial results. In addition, it is not possible to anticipate the effect on the Company's business of any changes to workplace health and safety legislation or directions necessitated by concern for the health of the workforce. Such changes may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of the Company.

Regulatory Risk

Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Western Australia and Australia that affect mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities, income tax laws, royalty regulations, government subsidies and environmental issues may affect the viability and profitability of any planned development of Mardie. No assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could adversely impact the Company’s activities. The Company is working with the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies and other industry participants to engage with the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety, with a view to greater certainty being provided as to the applicable SOP royalty rate. If the rate of royalty applied to SOP is higher than the Company’s current expectations, it may have a material adverse effect on the economics of the Mardie Salt and SOP Project.

Labour Risks and Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company believes that it has, in general, good relations with its employees and contractors. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operations or those of its contractors will not be affected by labour related problems in the future, such as disputes relating to wages or requests for increased benefits. There are risks associated with staff including attracting and retaining key personnel and, no matter where located, staff acting out of their permitted authority and with contractors not acting in accordance with the Company’s policies.

The Company is substantially reliant on the expertise and abilities of its key personnel in overseeing the development and commercialisation of its Project. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their relationship with the Company.

Iron Valley Risk

The Company receives a royalty type payment from MIN in relation to the operating Iron Valley mine. Like any mine Iron Valley’s performance is subject to operational risks which are outside of the Company’s control. A reduction or suspension in Iron Valley operations, would negatively impact the Company’s royalty payments. Such circumstances may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of the Company. In addition, the Company is exposed to losses caused by any non-compliances of MIN with regulatory or other obligations (including rehabilitation obligations) in relation to Iron Valley. The Company may not be able to rely on any indemnification given by MIN to compensate for any such losses and as such BCI’s financial position and its social and legal licence to operate may be negatively impacted.

Key Risks (6)

Securities Investments and Share Market Conditions Generally

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Furthermore, the stock market, and in particular the market for exploration and mining resources companies may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company’s operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.

Force Majeure

The Company's projects now or 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, pandemics (i.e. Covid-19), explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

Liquidity Risk

The market for the Company’s Shares may be illiquid. As a consequence, investors may be unable to readily exit or realise their investment.

Government and Legal Risk

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to carry out its activities. The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect its current or proposed interests in tenements. However, changes in political and community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s exploration and/or development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of the tenements in which it holds interests. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay development of Mardie.

Economic Risk

Changes in both Australian and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as covid-19, inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.

Litigation Risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, 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, financial performance and financial position. To the best of the current Directors' knowledge, the Company is not currently engaged in any material litigation.

Taxation

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 point of view 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 applying for shares under this Offer.

Unknown Risks

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company may also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial and operational performance. The information set out in this document regarding the key operational and investment risks does not purport to be, not should it be considered as representing, an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company.

Speculative investment

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for shares pursuant to this Offer.
