2.1.1 a non-renounceable pro rata rights issue to Qualifying Shareholders of approximately 214,995,435 New Shares and 107,497,718 New Options (assuming that none of the existing Options issued in the Company are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date) on the basis of 1 New Share for every 7 Existing Shares held as at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.01 each, together with 1 New Option free of charge for every 2 New Shares acquired (each New Option to acquire 1 Share at an exercise price of $0.026 exercisable at any time up to and including 31 December 2026), to raise approximately $2,149,955 before expenses of the Offer (“ Entitlement Offer ”); and
2.1.2 if the Entitlement Offer is not fully subscribed, an offer of the Shortfall to:
2.1.2.1 Qualifying Shareholders who wish to apply for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) in excess of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer (“ the QS Shortfall Offer ”); and
2.1.2.2 any investor to whom the Directors elect, in their discretion, to place the Shortfall,

on the terms set out in section 2.12 (the “ Shortfall Offers ”).

The Rights Issue is not underwritten.

All New Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares (see section 7.4 of this Prospectus).

The New Options to be issued under this Prospectus will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in section 7.5 of this Prospectus and will rank equally with all of the Company’s Listed Options (ASX Code: CNJO).

2.2 Entitlement Offer

As the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to exercise their Rights to subscribe for some or all of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) being offered to them under this Prospectus may not sell or otherwise transfer those Rights, and those Rights will lapse upon the expiry of the Offer Period.

2.3 Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer

Shareholders who are registered on the Company’s Share Register and whose registered addresses are in Australia or New Zealand (Qualifying Shareholders) at the close of business on the Record Date, being 5.00 pm WST on 17 March 2023, are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. An Acceptance Form setting out Qualifying Shareholders’ Entitlements to New Shares and New Options accompanies this Prospectus.

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares and accompanying New Options.

2.4 Applications

The Entitlement Offer may be accepted by Qualifying Shareholders in whole or in part prior to the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Company to extend the Offer Period or close the Entitlement Offer early.

Instructions for accepting an Entitlement are set out in section 3 of this Prospectus and on the Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

2.5 Application money

All Qualifying Shareholders who accept the Entitlement Offer made to them in its entirety will receive their Entitlement in full.

New Shares and accompanying New Options will be issued to a Qualifying Shareholder only after all of their Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the New Shares and New Options to be quoted.

All Application Money received before the New Shares and accompanying New Options are issued will be held in a special purpose bank account. After the New Shares and New Options are issued to Qualifying Shareholders, the funds in the account, plus accrued interest, will be received by the Company. All Application Moneys will be

1307714v1

returned (without interest) if this Rights Issue is withdrawn or otherwise does not proceed.

If the New Shares and New Options are not admitted to Quotation by ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will refund all Application Money in full.

2.6 Issue outside Australia and New Zealand

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Securities in any place outside Australia and New Zealand in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue the Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form (including nominees, trustees or custodians) should seek advice on and observe those restrictions. Any failure to comply with those restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

No action has been taken to register the Rights, the New Shares or New Options or this Prospectus or otherwise permit an offering of the New Shares or New Options or the Rights in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand. Without limitation, the Rights and the New Shares and New Options have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or the securities laws of any State of the United States of America and may not be offered in the United States of America or to, or for the account of or benefit of, US persons.

2.7 Treatment of Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders

The Entitlement Offer and the QS Shortfall Offer in this Prospectus are not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand (Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders). This is because the Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer and the QS Shortfall Offer to Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders having regard to the small number of such NonQualifying Foreign Shareholders, the small number and value of the Securities which would be offered to them, and the cost of complying with the applicable legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, of the applicable jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Recipients (including any nominee, trustee or custodian who receives this Prospectus) may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the accompanying Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand (other than to Qualifying Shareholders).

2.8 ASX Quotation of New Shares and New Options

The Company has already, or will, apply to the ASX for the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus to be granted Quotation within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus.

If approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options the subject of an Offer under this Prospectus is not granted within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by ASIC), the Company will not allot or issue any New Shares or New Options pursuant to that Offer and will repay all Application Moneys without interest as soon as practicable.

Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that the New Shares and New Options under the Entitlement Offer will be issued on 19 April 2023 and that Quotation of the New Shares and New Options under the Entitlement Offer will commence on ASX on a normal basis on 19 April 2023. It is the responsibility of all Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares and New Options. Applicants who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before they receive holding statements will do so at their own risk. The Company disclaims all liability in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise to persons who trade or otherwise deal with New Shares and New Options before receiving holding statements.

ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that the ASX may approve Quotation of the New Shares and New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares or New Options offered under this Prospectus.

2.9 Allotment of New Shares and New Options

Subject to ASX granting approval for Quotation of the New Shares and New Options, the allotment of the New Shares and New Options to Applicants will occur as soon as possible after the relevant Offer has closed, following which holding statements setting out the number of New Shares and New Options allotted to Applicants under this Prospectus will be despatched.

1307714v1

2.10 Minimum subscriptions and oversubscriptions

There is no minimum subscription to this Rights Issue, and no oversubscriptions will be accepted.

2.11 No Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.

2.12 Shortfall

The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place the Shortfall within three months of the Closing Date at an issue price of not less than the issue price under the Entitlement Offer, being $0.01 per Share (together with one free attaching New Option for every two (2) new Shares issued).

2.12.1 QS Shortfall Offer to Qualifying Shareholders

Qualifying Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall, regardless of the size of their present holding. However, in assessing any applications by Qualifying Shareholders to take up a portion of the Shortfall, the number of Existing Shares held by that Qualifying Shareholder will be taken into account by the Directors and it is not intended that Qualifying Shareholders with a small shareholding in the Company will be allocated or issued a large portion of the Shortfall (if any).

Qualifying Shareholders who wish to participate in the QS Shortfall Offer by applying for New Shares (and accompanying New Options) above their Entitlement, should insert the number of additional New Shares they wish to apply for in that section of the table in the Acceptance Form headed “Number of Shortfall Shares (if any) applied for (in excess of the Entitlement shown above)”. The issue price of any New Shares comprising part of the Shortfall shall be $0.01, being the price at which the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer have been offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus. Any additional New Shares applied for must be paid for in the same manner as the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are paid for. A single payment should be made for the Application Moneys for any New Shares you have applied for as part of your Entitlement and any additional New Shares applied for as part of the Shortfall. It is an express term of the QS Shortfall Offer that applicants for New Shares comprised in the Shortfall will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) than the number applied for.

Pursuant to the Mandate Letter, the Lead Manager has the first right to place the Shortfall (but is not obliged to place any or all of the Shortfall). The Lead Manager’s right to place the Shortfall ranks ahead of applications for the Shortfall received by the Company under the QS Shortfall Offer contained in this section 2.12.1. If the Lead Manager does not place all of the Shortfall under the Mandate Letter, the remaining Shortfall may be placed at the discretion of the Company to Applicants under the QS Shortfall Offer. The Company reserves the right to reject (either in whole or in part) any applications for the Shortfall. The Company also reserves the right to allot to an Applicant a lesser number of the New Shares (and accompanying New Options) comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the Applicant applies, or to allot none of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) applied for by the Applicant. As mentioned above, in assessing any applications by Qualifying Shareholders to take up a portion of the Shortfall, the number of Existing Shares held by that Qualifying Shareholder will be taken into account by the Directors and it is not intended that Qualifying Shareholders with a small shareholding in the Company will be allocated or issued a large portion of the Shortfall (if any). As a result of the first rights granted to the Lead Manager to place the Shortfall, the Director’s allocation policy as noted above and the possibility that applications under the QS Shortfall Offer could exceed the Shares (and accompanying New Options) available for issue under the QS Shortfall Offer, Qualifying Shareholders who apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement receive no guarantee that they shall receive all or any of those additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) for which they apply. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not receive all or any of the additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) they apply for under the QS Shortfall Offer, any excess Application Moneys will be returned to them (without interest).

2.12.2 Investors

The Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations

1307714v1

Act, to place the Shortfall, within 3 months of the Closing Date, at an issue price of not less than the issue price under the Entitlement Offer, being $0.01 per Share (together with one free attaching New Option for every two (2) New Shares issued). The Shortfall will, in the first instance, be placed to investors nominated by the Lead Manager pursuant to the Mandate Letter. To the extent the Shortfall is not placed by the Lead Manager under the Mandate Letter or to Qualifying Shareholders under the QS Shortfall Offer referred to in section 2.12.1 above, the Directors may place the Shortfall in their discretion. The Directors in placing any remaining Shortfall (if any) intend to allocate it under this section 2.12.2 to sophisticated and professional investors. The offer of the remaining Shortfall under this section 2.12.2 shall remain open under this Prospectus (and may be accepted by any investor who has been offered any portion of the Shortfall by the Directors in their discretion) until the date which is 3 months after the Closing Date.

The Shortfall Offers are separate offers pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Directors, whether personally or through their associated companies or trusts, will not apply for any additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall under any of the Shortfall Offers in this section 2.12.

2.13 Purpose of the Issue

The purpose of this Rights Issue is to raise approximately $2,149,955 (before the expenses of the Entitlement Offer). The funds raised under this Rights Issue will be utilised in the manner set out in section 6.5 of this Prospectus.

If you are paying by cheque or money order, New Shares and accompanying New Options will only be issued to Qualifying Shareholders on receipt of an Acceptance Form which was issued together with this Prospectus. A completed and lodged Acceptance Form, together with payment for the number of New Shares accepted, cannot be withdrawn and constitutes a binding application for, and acceptance of, the number of New Shares specified in the Acceptance Form on the terms set out in this Prospectus. The Acceptance Form does not need to be signed to be binding.

Acceptance Forms which do not specify an Australian or New Zealand address for service (or which are accompanied by payment drawn on a foreign bank account) will be rejected and returned unless Qualifying Shareholders provide evidence which satisfies the Company that the issue of the New Shares and accompanying New Options will not contravene the laws of any other jurisdiction.

If the Acceptance Form is not completed correctly the Company may reject it or treat it as valid. The Company’s decision as to whether to reject the Acceptance Form or treat it as valid and how to construe,

1307714v1

amend or complete it is final.

If the amount a Qualifying Shareholder pays is insufficient to pay for their full Entitlement, they will be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as that amount will pay for. If Qualifying Shareholders pay for more New Shares than their Entitlement, they will be deemed to have applied for their full Entitlement and for additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) under the QS Shortfall Offer in section 2.12.1 to the extent of the excess.

No brokerage or duty is payable by Qualifying Shareholders on the issue of New Shares (or the accompanying New Options).

If you are a Qualifying Shareholder and you take up part of your Rights only the balance of your Rights will lapse.

3.3 Consequences of doing nothing – Rights not taken up

Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to take up any of their Entitlement do not need to take any action. Any Rights not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders will lapse at the expiration of the Offer Period.

4. COMPANY OVERVIEW

4.1 Background

Conico Ltd (“Conico”) (ASX Code: CNJ) is based in Perth, Western Australia.

A brief overview of the Company’s projects is contained in section 4.3 of this Prospectus.

4.2 Directors

The current Directors of the Company are:

Gregory Solomon, LLB (Non-Executive Chairman)
Douglas Solomon, B. Juris (Hons), LLB (Non-Executive Director)
Guy Le Page, B.A., B.Sc. B.App.Sc. (Hons), M.B.A., M.Fin.Plan., GradDipAppFin&Inv, GAICD, FFIN, MAusIMM (Executive Director)

4.3 Projects

Conico (through its wholly owned subsidiary, Longland Resources Ltd) holds two, 100% owned, mineral exploration projects in Greenland, and a 50% interest in the Mt Thirsty Cobalt Joint Venture near Norseman in Western Australia.

GREENLAND

RYBERG PROJECT (100% Conico Ltd – MEL 2017/06 & MEL-S 2019/38)

The Ryberg Project is located on the east coast of Greenland, approximately 345km NW of Iceland. It is a large licence area covering an area of 4,521km[2] prospective for precious and base metals. The project contains abundant occurrences of magmatic sulphide mineralisation (Cu-Ni-Co-Pd-Au) with the most advanced referred to as the Miki Prospect. Also, within the Ryberg Project area are the Sortekap Prospect which contains Archean greenstone rocks with associated gold mineralisation and the Cascata prospect, a newly identified prospect with diamond drilling identifying both layered intrusions and volcanogenic massive sulphides that are prospective for precious and base metals. The 2022 field season commenced at Ryberg in May 2022 and comprised further reconnaissance exploration activities at a number of newly identified prospects including Cascata, Quest, Pyramid and Qiterpiaaneq and included follow up drilling at Miki, Pyramid, Sortekap and Cascata.

MESTERSVIG PROJECT (100% Conico Ltd – MEL 2020/64 & MEL-S 2021/24)

The Mestersvig Project is located north of the Ryberg project on the east coast of Greenland and is 600km northwest of Iceland. It contains base and precious metal bearing sulphides, rare earth element (REE) mineralisation and the historic Blyklippen Mine (past production of 545,000 tons of ore at 9.3% Pb and 9.9% Zn between 1956-1962). The licence area of this project is 1,447km[2] . Drilling over 2022 focused on down dip and strike extensions to the vein hosted old Blyklippen Mine (Pb-Zn), the newly identified high-grade mineralisation at Nuldal (Pb, Cu, Ag) and high-grade drill Pb-Zn intercepts from previous drilling at the Sortebjerg Prospect which represents a 15km southerly strike extension from Blyklippen.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

MOUNT THIRSTY COBALT PROJECT (50% Conico Ltd (operator): 50% Greenstone Resources Ltd – Joint Venture) The Mt Thirsty Cobalt Project is located 16km north-northwest of Norseman, Western Australia. The Project contains the Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel (Co-Ni) Oxide Deposit that has the potential to emerge as a significant cobalt producer. In addition to the Co-Ni Oxide Deposit, the Project also hosts nickel sulphide (Ni-S) mineralisation.

1307714v1

5. RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risk factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the financial position, financial performance, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and growth prospects of the Company and the outcome of an investment in the Company. These risks are both specific to the Company and generally relate to an investment in the stock market. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives, or that forward looking statements will be realised.

5.1 Exploration Risk

Mineral exploration and mining are speculative operations that may be hampered by circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Exploration activity may be impacted or delayed due to inclement weather (particularly noting that the tenements of Longland Resources are located in Greenland) and delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals and delays in securing appropriate contractors (e.g. drillers). The profitability of the Company depends on successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves. Exploration is a speculative endeavour and the Company may not be successful in locating or identifying any commercial mineral deposits.

5.2 Title Risk

Interests in exploration and mining tenements are governed by the legislation in force at the place where they are located, and are evidenced by the granting of leases or licences. Each lease or licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting conditions as well as other conditions requiring compliance. These conditions may include the requirement, particularly for exploration licences, for compulsory reduction in the area held under licence from time to time. Consequently, the Company (or its wholly owned subsidiary, Longland Resources) could lose title to or its interest in its exploration licences if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet minimum annual expenditure commitments.

5.3 Mineral Resources Risk

Resources estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience, and resource modelling. As such, resource estimates are inherently imprecise and rely to some extent on interpretations made. Despite employing qualified professionals to prepare resource estimates, such estimates may nevertheless prove to be inaccurate. Furthermore, resource estimates may change over time as new information becomes available. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or geological formations different from those predicted by any past drilling, sampling and interpretations, resource estimates may need to be altered in a way that could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

5.4 Project Financing

Even assuming a successful exploration outcome on any of its projects, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds to progress any of its projects to a mining operation.

5.5 Operating Risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in exploration and mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, inadequate water supplies, unanticipated technical or metallurgical problems which may affect extraction rates and costs, shortages of skilled contractors, inability to obtain satisfactory joint venture partners, difficulties in obtaining requisite planning approvals, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages and increases in the cost of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or operation of its tenements or its tenement interests. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it will incur ongoing operating losses.

5.6 Production Risks

Even assuming the Company’s projects are viable and able to be commercially developed, the quality and rate of extraction of minerals will be variable (depending, for example, on the size of the deposits, timing and/or success of development work and mineral quality). Production may be impacted or shut down for considerable periods of time due to any of the following factors:

1307714v1

government regulation;
processing interruptions;
equipment failure;
equipment or manpower shortages;
force majeure;
epidemics and pandemics;
well blowouts;
explosions;
fires;
pollution;
releases of toxic gas; or
other environmental hazards and risks.

5.7 Commodity Price Volatility & Exchange Rate Risks

If the Company achieves success which results in mineral production (of which there is no guarantee), the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company, including the present Russian/Ukraine conflict, supply and demand fluctuations for commodities, forward selling activities and other micro and macro-economic factors. International prices of various commodities are largely denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company, whilst operating on Australian projects, will be in Australian currency and whilst operating in Greenland will be in numerous currencies, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar and other currencies including the Danish and Iceland krone.

5.8 Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulation (both in Australia and Greenland) concerning the environment. 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. The Company attempts to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

Although the Company is not aware of any endangered species of fauna or flora within the tenement areas, no definitive study has been carried out over the area, and if any were discovered this could prevent mining occurring.

5.9 Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

5.10 Arbitration Proceedings

Conico’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Longland Resources, withheld payment for drilling services in Greenland in the 2022 drilling season claimed by the drilling contractor, Cartwright Drilling, for the reason that the amount claimed was not payable because of failure to provide those services with due care, skill and diligence. The drilling contractor has commenced an arbitration in Canada claiming the withheld fees. Longland will be counterclaiming in the arbitration for damages being the anticipated amount required to be paid for future drilling in Greenland which should have been done during the 2022 drilling season.

5.11 Share Market Conditions

The price of the New Shares and New Options when quoted on ASX will be influenced by international and domestic factors affecting market conditions in equity, financial and commodity markets. These factors may affect the share price for all listed companies, and the price of the Company’s Shares and Options may fall or rise, and the price of the New Shares may trade below or above the issue price of the New Shares and the price of the New Shares and New Options may trade below or above their prevailing market price as at the date of

1307714v1

this Prospectus. The price of the Shares and Options may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

If the prevailing trading price of the Company’s Shares during the option exercise period for the New Options is lower that the option exercise price, of $0.026, then it is unlikely that the New Options will be exercised. In this scenario, the unexercised New Options will not have any value and will lapse at the end of the option exercise period (on 31 December 2026).

5.12 Working Capital

Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. Assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Company is only raising sufficient funds pursuant to this Rights Issue (when augmented with the funds which were raised under the Placement), to cover approximately 12 months’ working capital requirements and, subject only to the terms of any joint venture or other commercial arrangement which may be entered into, the Company is likely to have to raise further capital or borrow funds at the expiration of that period. There is no guarantee that such additional funds will be available to the Company. Further, any additional equity financing which is available may be dilutive to Shareholders.

If this Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Company will likely have to raise further capital before the expiration of the 12-month period referred to above. The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

5.13 No formal valuation of Shares, Options or tenements

No formal valuations of any of the Shares or Options, or any of the assets in which the Company has an interest, have been carried out.

5.14 General investment risks

In addition, there is a risk that the price of the Shares and returns to Shareholders may be affected by changes in many general factors including local and world economic conditions and outlook, general movements in local and international stock markets, investor sentiment, interest rates, the rate of inflation, exchange rates, levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practice, government legislation or intervention, inflation or inflationary expectations, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics (including COVID 19) social disorder, military conflicts or war in Australia or overseas (including the present Russian/Ukraine conflict), international hostilities and acts of terrorism, as well as many other factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

5.15 Other risks

The above list of risk factors is not exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company and its Shareholders and investors. The above risks, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, no assurances or guarantees of future profitability, distributions, payment of dividends, return of capital or performance of the Company or its Securities can be, or is, provided by the Company.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, in particular, should consider the risk factors that could affect the financial performance of the Company. Applicants should carefully consider these factors in light of their personal circumstances and should consult their professional advisers (for example, their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser) before deciding whether to invest.

Neither the Company nor its officers, employees, agents and advisers guarantee that any specific objectives of the Company will be achieved or that any particular performance of the Shares and Options, including the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus, will be achieved.

1307714v1

6. EFFECT OF THE ISSUE

6.1 Introduction

Assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the gross proceeds that will be raised by the Company under this Rights Issue (before expenses of the Rights Issue) will amount to approximately $2,149,955 (on the assumption that none of the existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date). No funds will be raised by the issue of the New Options, which are being issued free of charge.

6.2 Pro-forma capital structure on completion of the Rights Issue

The pro-forma capital structure of the Company is set out below and reflects the issued and paid up capital structure of the Company assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed (and assuming that none of the existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date or before completion of this Rights Issue).

Capital Structure

	Shares	Percentage	Options	Percentage
ExistingShares and Options	1,504,968,045	87.50%	338,874,162	75.92%
Maximum number of New Shares and New Options under the Entitlement Offer(estimated)	214,995,435	12.50%	107,497,718*	24.08*%
Total Shares and Options upon completion of the Entitlement Offer (estimated)	1,719,963,480	100.00%	446,371,880*	100.00%

*In addition, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained at the Company Meeting, a further 24,999,967 Options will be issued to the Placement Subscribers and a further 15,000,000 Options will be issued to the Lead Manager in accordance with the terms of the Mandate Letter (see section 7.7).

On the assumptions set out above, approximately 214,995,435 New Shares and approximately 107,497,718 New Options will be issued by the Company upon the successful completion of this Rights Issue. The maximum number of New Shares and New Options which may be issued under this Rights Issue cannot be calculated precisely until Rights have been determined following the Record Date because of the possibility some of the existing Options will be exercised before the Record Date and the rounding up of fractional Entitlements.

The terms and conditions of the New Options, and the exercise price and expiry date of the Options currently on issue in the Company, are detailed in sections 7.5 and 7.6 of this Prospectus.

6.3 Effect on Existing Shareholders and Optionholders

Qualifying Shareholders who take up their Rights in full will not have their proportionate interest in the Company diluted by this Rights Issue. The proportionate interest of a Qualifying Shareholder who takes up their Entitlement in full and applies for (and is issued) additional New Shares (and accompanying New Options) forming part of the Shortfall will increase as a result of this Rights Issue.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not exercise their Rights in full will have their interest in the Company diluted.

Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders will have their interest in the Company diluted.

Existing Optionholders who do not exercise all or any of their Options in sufficient time before the Record Date will not be entitled to participate in this Rights Issue with respect to those Options (and, if the Options are subsequently exercised, the interest which the Shares issued consequent upon the exercise of the Options will confer in the Company will have been diluted by this Rights Issue).

6.4 Impact on Control

The New Shares will represent approximately 12.50% of the expanded issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed).

The Company’s largest shareholder, excluding nominees, trustees and custodians, only holds 7.7% of the Company’s issued Share capital and therefore does not have control of the Company. The Rights Issue is not therefore anticipated to have any impact on the control of the Company.

1307714v1

6.5 Purpose of the Offers and use of funds raised under the Offers

The gross proceeds to be raised by the Company under the Entitlement Offer (i.e. before expenses of the Entitlement Offer) will be approximately $2,149,955 (on the assumption that none of the existing Options are converted to Shares prior to the Record Date and the Rights Issue is fully subscribed).

The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. As noted in section 7.8.1, all of the Directors have indicated to the Company that they intend to take up (and to procure that companies which are associated with them take up) a majority or all of their Entitlements.

The funds raised under this Rights Issue are to augment the funds raised under the Placement and existing funds held by the Company, and are intended to be used to fund:

(a) further assessment of the Mt Thirsty Co-Ni Project (Conico 50%, Greenstone Resources Ltd 50%);
(b) care and maintenance of Longland’s East Greenland licences, which include the Ryberg (Ni Cu Co PGE Au) and Mestersvig (Pb Zn) projects (Conico 100%);
(c) administrative costs and expenses and for ongoing working capital to cover operating expenses of the Company, assuming this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, for approximately 12 months; and
(d) to pay the costs of the Offers.

Set out below is a table summarising approximately how the Directors intend to apply the proceeds of this Rights Issue and the Placement against the above use categories, in each of the following scenarios:

(a) this Rights Issue raises approximately $644,987 (on the assumption this Rights Issue is 30% subscribed);
(b) this Rights Issue raises $1,397,471 (on the assumption this Rights Issue is 65% subscribed, being the mid-point between scenario (a) & (c));
(c) this Rights Issue raises $2,149,955 (on the assumption that it is fully subscribed).

Funds raised under this Rights Issue Funds raised under the Placement Intended Allocation of Funds: Costs of the Placement ASX Quotation Fees for the New Placement Options and New Lead Manager Options Costs of the Entitlement Offer Further assessment of the Mt Thirsty Co-Ni Project (Conico 50%, Greenstone Resources Ltd 50%); 2023 East Greenland Care & Maintenance (Conico 100%); General working capital**	30% (paragraph (a) above)	65% (paragraph (b) above)	Maximum (paragraph (c) above)
	$644,987 $500,000 $33,546 $6,956 $41,938 $412,547 $150,000 $500,000	$1,397,471 $500,000 $33,546 $6,956 $47,604 $1,084,365 $175,000 $550,000	$2,149,955 $500,000 $33,546 $6,956 $53,000 $1,756,453 $200,000 $600,000

*The changing costs of the Entitlement Offer reflect the change in the ASX quotation fee for the New Shares and the New Options (which will increase as the level of subscription increases).

**The working capital funds will be used to meet all the normal ongoing operating costs and expenses of the Company.

1307714v1

*** These fees include the lead manager’s fee of 1%, the placement fee of 5% and the ASX Listing Fees on the Placement Shares.

**** Subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to issue the New Placement Options and New Lead Manager Options at the Company Meeting.

Given the speculative nature of the Company’s business, the intended allocation of funds as set out above may change depending upon market conditions.

Based on the information available to it, and its current plans and budgets (and subject to any changes thereto), and provided this Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due, and fund ongoing working capital requirements for approximately 12 months after completion of this Rights Issue.

6.6 Effect on the Company's financial position

Upon the successful completion of this Rights Issue, and assuming it is fully subscribed the Company's cash reserves will increase by approximately $2,149,955, minus the expenses of the Entitlement Offer.

Set out below for illustrative purposes is a historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022 and an unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022 after the Rights Issue. The undated pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company and having regard to the basis and assumptions set out below.

1307714v1

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet set out above has been prepared on the basis and assumption that there has been and will be no material movements in the assets and liabilities of the consolidated entity between 1 January 2023 and the Closing Date other than:

the issue of approximately 214,995,435 New Shares and 107,497,718 New Options under the Entitlement Offer raising $2,149,955 before expenses of the Entitlement Offer, and on the assumption that this Rights Issue is fully subscribed;
the issue of 49,999,934 Shares as part of the Placement raising $500,000 before the expenses of the Placement (being $33,546);
the payment of the expenses of the Placement of $33,546 is made from Cash and cash equivalents; and
the accrual of the estimated expenses of the Entitlement Offer of $53,000 (assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed) is included in "Trade and Other Payables".

The above pro-forma balance sheet does not include the effect of the issue of 24,999,967 New Placement Options or the issue of 15,000,000 New Lead Manager Options, all of which are subject to shareholder approval at the Company Meeting and are likely to occur subsequent to the Closing Date.

The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022 above is intended to be illustrative only. It does not take into account activities occurring between 1 January 2023 and the date of this Prospectus (or the Closing Date) other than those noted above and as such it does not accurately reflect what the actual balance sheet will be as at the date of this Prospectus or at the completion of this Rights Issue (by way of example, the cash and cash equivalent assets will not be as set out in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet because, amongst other things, no allowance has been made in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet for expenditure incurred in the normal course of business of the consolidated group after 1 January 2023).

1307714v1

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

7.1 Nature of this Prospectus

This Prospectus, is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. That section enables listed disclosing entities to issue a prospectus with less rigorous disclosure requirements if:

the securities offered by the prospectus are in a class of securities that have been quoted enhanced disclosure securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of the prospectus or are options to acquire such securities; and
the company is not subject to certain exemptions or declarations prescribed by the Corporations Act during the period during which the securities have been quoted or the 12 months before the date of the prospectus (whichever is the shorter period).

Securities are quoted enhanced disclosure securities if:

the company is included in the official list of ASX; and
the Listing Rules apply to those securities.

The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offers and the information necessary to make an informed assessment of:

the effect of the Offers on the Company; and
the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus.

The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX. This Prospectus does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that was not already listed on a stock exchange. Applicants should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to subscribe for New Shares and New Options.

7.2 Regular reporting and disclosure obligations

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it becomes aware concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities in the Company.

7.4 Constitution and rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which can be inspected, free of charge, at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

All Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will, from the time they are issued, rank equally with all of the Company’s Existing Shares.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares (at present there are none), at meetings of Shareholders of the Company:

(a) each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
(b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote (save that if a Shareholder is present at any meeting of the Company and any one or more proxy, attorney or representative is also present, or if more than one proxy, attorney or representative for a Shareholder is present at any meeting of the Company, then no such proxy, attorney or representative is entitled to vote on a show of hands); and
(c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or who is a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid shares, shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid Share. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating the proportion. If a Shareholder is present at any meeting of the Company and any one or more proxy, attorney or representative is also present, or if more than one proxy, attorney or representative for a Shareholder is present at any meeting of the Company, then on a poll, the vote of each one is of no effect unless each such person is appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights, not exceeding in the aggregate 100%).

Rights on winding up

Subject to the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding up (at present there are none) and the constitution of the Company, on a winding up of the Company all assets that may be legally distributed among members will be distributed in proportion to the number of shares in the Company held by them, irrespective of the amount paid-up or credited as paid up on the shares.

Transfer of shares

Subject to the constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other laws, Shares are freely transferable.

Future increases in capital

The allotment and issue of any Shares is under the control of the Board. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act, the Directors may allot or otherwise dispose of Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

Variation of rights

Under 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 of the Company is

1307714v1

divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of the issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and 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.

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with special, preferential or qualified rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company that the Directors determine to distribute by way of dividend are divisible among the holders of Shares and is payable on each Share on the basis of the proportion which the amount paid is of the total amounts paid, agreed to be considered to be paid or payable on the Share. A dividend may be declared at a rate per annum in respect of a specified period but no amount paid on a Share in advance of calls is to be treated as paid on that Share.

7.5 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Options

The New Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will, from the time they are issued, rank equally with all of the Company’s Listed Options (ASX Code: CNJO).

The terms and conditions of the New Options are as follows.

(1) The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00pm WST 31 December 2026 ("the Time of Expiry"). Options not exercised on or before the Time of Expiry will automatically lapse.
(2) The Options entitle the holder to subscribe (in respect of each Option held) for one Share at an exercise price per Option of $0.026 (“Price”).
(3) The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by both completing and serving a notice of exercise of options (“Notice of Exercise”) substantially in the form attached to the option certificate ("Certificate") on the Company, and by causing payment to be received by the Company (in cleared fund and in Australian currency) of the Price for all Options being exercised, in the manner specified in the Notice of Exercise, prior to the Time of Expiry. A Notice of Exercise cannot be withdrawn by the holder after service of it on the Company.
(4) Upon the exercise of the Options and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, Shares will be issued ranking equally with the then issued Shares. If at the date of exercise of the Options the Shares of the Company are quoted on the ASX, the Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares so issued granted Quotation.
(5) A summary of the terms and conditions of the Options including the Notice of Exercise will be sent to all holders of Options when they are issued.
(6) Any Notice of Exercise received by the Company prior to the Time of Expiry will, unless otherwise determined by the Company, be deemed effective as at the earlier of the last Business Day of the month in which such notice is received by the Company and the Time of Expiry.
(7) There are no participating entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in new issues of capital, which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. Prior to any new pro rata issue of securities to Shareholders, holders of Options will be notified by the Company and will be afforded 10 business days before the Record Date (as defined in the Listing Rules) (to determine entitlements to the issue), to exercise Options.
(8) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Time of Expiry, the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options or both shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on holders of Options which are not being conferred on Shareholders and (subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of Shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), in all respects, the terms for the exercise of Options shall remain unchanged. For these purposes the rights of the Option holder may be changed from time to time to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.

1307714v1

(9) The Options may be transferred at any time prior to the Time of Expiry.
(10) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be issued not more than 5 Business Days after the Notice of Exercise.
(11) A Notice of Exercise may be served by the holder on the Company by delivery or post to the Company’s registered office or in such other manner as specified in the form of Notice of Exercise attached to the Certificate.
(12) Any notice which is required to be given by the Company to the holder under these conditions or otherwise concerning the Options may be served on the holder by email (if the holder has provided the Company, or its share registry, with the holder’s email address) or by post. If a notice is sent by email it will be deemed to have been served on the date of transmission of the email and if sent by post it will be deemed to have been served on the third business day after the date of its posting.
(13) These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of Western Australia.

These percentages also do not take into account the New Placement Options or the New Lead Manager Options (the issue of all of which require Shareholder approval at the Company Meeting).

Further, some of the Directors (either personally, or through associated companies or trusts) also hold a relevant interest in shares of Tasman Resources (which, as at the date of this Prospectus, holds 115,852,963 (7.7%) of the Shares of the Company), as follows:

(1) Solomon Brothers as solicitors to the Company;

7.11 Expenses of the Issue

It is estimated that approximately $53,000 (excluding GST)* will be payable by the Company in respect of ASX quotation fees, legal, printing, postage and other costs arising from this Prospectus and this Rights Issue if the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, as follows:

ASIC prospectus lodgement fee ASX quotation fees on New Shares and New Options Legal fees and expenses Other expenses (including printing) Total	$3,206 $19,643 $10,000 $20,151 $53,000

The Board is not able to indicate when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as payment of any dividend will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.

7.13 Australian and New Zealand taxation implications

The acquisition and disposal of New Shares and New Options in the Company will have tax consequences in both Australia and New Zealand that will differ depending upon the individual financial affairs of each Applicant. The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to give Qualifying Shareholders and other Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus. All Applicants applying for New Shares and New Options are therefore first urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring the New Shares and New Options from a taxation viewpoint and generally. Qualifying Shareholders and other Applicants should consult their own professional tax advisers in connection with subscribing for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus.
