Summary:

Cavalier Resources Limited ( ASX:CVR ) (“ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it is conducting a non-renounceable rights issue (“ Rights Issue ”) of one fully paid ordinary share (“ Share ”) for every three Shares held on the record date of 25 September 2024 (“ Record Date” ) at 12 cents per Share to raise up to $1.7 million before issue costs.

The Rights Issue will be undertaken via an offer document which has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act (“ Offer Document” ).

The Rights Issue will include a shortfall facility under which Eligible Shareholders (defined below) that have taken up their full entitlement under the Rights Issue can apply to take up additional Shares in excess of their pro rata entitlement (“ Shortfall Offer” ).

Shares under the Shortfall Offer may also be offered to third parties introduced by the Company or the Lead Manager (defined below). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to the Offer Document and will remain open for up to 3 months following the Closing Date (as outlined below). The Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer will have the same terms as those issued under the Rights Issue.

The funds raised under the Rights Issue will principally be used to conduct near-mine development and exploration drilling at the Crawford Gold Project, as well as additional drilling at the Ella’s Rock Li-Au-Ni Project, and for general working capital purposes.

The funds to be raised under the rights issue will be deployed primarily to enable the Company to finalise progress of regulatory approvals to enable the Stage 1 open pit at the Crawford Gold Project to advance towards production.

As previously announced, the Company is progressing discussions with potential investment, mining and processing partners, and in particular has commenced discussions with potential project finance providers.

The Rights Issue will be open to all shareholders who have a registered address within Australia or New Zealand on the Record Date (“ Eligible Shareholders” ). The Rights Issue will close on 9

October 2024 (unless extended), and Eligible Shareholders can apply for shortfall in excess of their entitlement.

All Shares issued under the Rights Issue and the Shortfall Offer will rank equally with existing Shares on issue and the Company will apply for quotation of the Shares.

A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be sent to Eligible Shareholders shortly after the Record Date.

Eligible Shareholders should consider the Offer Document in deciding whether to acquire Shares under the Rights Issue and will need to follow the instructions on the entitlement and acceptance form that will accompany the Offer Document.

Dalton Equities will act as lead manager to the Rights Issue (“ Lead Manager ”). In consideration for the services provided, the Company has agreed to pay/issue to the Lead Manager (or its nominees):

  • (a) a management fee of 2.0% of the total amount raised under any Shortfall Offer;

  • (b) an arranging fee of 4.0% of the total proceeds raised by the Lead Manager under any Shortfall Offer; and

  • (c) 2.5 million options to acquire Shares (“ Options ”) for every 7 million Shares issued under the Rights Issue and any Shortfall Offer), provided an aggregate of no less than $1,500,000 is raised from the Rights Issue and any Shortfall Offer.

About Cavalier Resources:

The Company has interests in three main project areas in Western Australia that are prospective for gold, nickel, titanium and lithium mineralisation (see Figure 1 ).

Crawford Gold Project, Stage 1 Oxide Only Pit:

The Company’s flagship asset is the Crawford Gold Project, located 25km east of the Tier 1 gold fields mining town of Leonora, Western Australia.

The Company recently completed a Stage 1 Oxide-only Pre-Feasibility Study (‘PFS’) that was constrained to the highly recoverable, low cost, oxidised portion of the Mineral Resource for application to heap leach processing.

The PFS Maiden Ore Reserve for Stage 1 oxide pit was 1Mt @ 0.91g/t for 29,300oz of gold with a preCAPEX undiscounted cashflow of A$24.6M , NPV8 of A$15.7M and an IRR of 130% using a gold price of A$2,900/oz.

The Ore Reserve estimate relates specifically to the conversion of Indicated Resources to Probable Ore Reserves only within the Crawford pit design and includes consideration of the modifying factors.

Ore Reserve Estimate

Reserve Classification Ore Tonnes Gold (g/t) Gold Produced (Oz)
Probable 1,002kt 0.91 29,300
Total 1,002kt 0.91 29,300

Some errors may occur due to rounding. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive ore Ore Reserves. Ore Reserves are based on a gold price of $2,900/oz. A cut-off grade of 0.3g/t was calculated based on the base case cost and processing recovery inputs and was used to generate the production schedule and calculate the Ore Reserve. Note that Ore Reserves are susceptible to geological, economic, geotechnical, permitting, metallurgical, mining, processing and other factors.

For more information on the Ore Reserve and Stage 1 Oxide PFS, please refer to the ASX announcements on 14 March 2024 and 5 September 2024.

Cautionary Statement:

The production target and forecast financial information referred to in this announcement comprise Indicated Mineral Resources (99.8%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (0.2%) within the planned Stage 1 oxidised pit at the Crawford Gold Project. There is a low-level of geological confidence associated with Inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.
