ASX Announcement
30 April 2026
Bindi Metals Approves Executive and Director Option Incentive Plan
Bindi Metals Limited (ASX: BIM, "Bindi" or the "Company") advises that the Board has approved an equity-based incentive plan designed to align key executives, directors and in-country personnel with the successful execution of the Ravni Project and long-term shareholder value creation.
Overview
The approved incentive structure comprises a total of 15,690,000 options, issued across management and key management personnel (KMP), with a focus on:
- Aligning incentives with drilling success and discovery outcomes
- Retaining critical operational and in-country capability
- Maintaining a disciplined cash cost base
- Linking equity participation to value creation milestones
Management Option Grants
The Company has approved the issue of 4,000,000 options to key operational personnel. These options will be issued in two tranches:
- Tranche 1 (50%) – Exercise Price $0.15
- Completion of 2,000 metres of drilling
- 12 months continuous service
- Tranche 2 (50%) – Exercise Price $0.20
- Achievement of a defined material drilling result
- 24 months continuous service
Options issued to management will expire at 5:00pm (WST) on 31 July 2028.
A material drilling result is defined as an intercept of at least 20 gram-metres gold, with a minimum grade of 3.0 g/t Au, reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
Key Management Personnel (KMP) Option Grants
The Company has approved the issue of 3,000,000 options to the Chief Executive Officer, Mark Freeman, which will vest immediately on issue and expire on 31 July 2030.
In addition, the Company proposes to issue:
- 2,000,000 options to Director Henry Renou

- Have exercise prices of $0.15 and $0.20 (split equally across two tranches)
- Vest immediately on issue (other than Henry Renou, whose options are subject to performance-based vesting conditions consistent with management).
- Options issued to KMPs will expire at 5:00pm (WST) on 31 July 2030.
Rationale
The Board considers the incentive structure to be appropriate given the Company’s current stage of development and the importance of aligning the team with key near-term milestones, particularly the upcoming maiden drilling program at Ravni.
The inclusion of performance-based vesting for operational personnel and Henry Renou reflects their direct involvement in exploration execution, while immediate vesting for other KMP is intended to align longer-term strategic oversight with shareholder outcomes.
Next Steps
Options to KMPs and the CEO will be issued shortly.
The Company will seek shareholder approval for the proposed issue of options to Directors.
This announcement has been authorised for release to the market by the Board of Bindi Metals Limited.
