2.6. ENTITLEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN OFFER

Only Qualifying Shareholders are eligible to participate in the Offer.

The number of Shares to which each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Document.

In relation to Foreign Shareholders, please refer to section 2.17 of this Offer Document.

6

1488279v1

2.7. NON - RENOUNCEABLE - NO RIGHTS TRADING

This Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis such that Qualifying Shareholders may not sell or transfer all or any part of their Entitlement. If Qualifying Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement by the Closing Date, their Entitlement to new Shares under this Offer will lapse.

2.8. APPLICATIONS

This 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 withdraw the Offer.

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

2.9. APPLICATION MONEY

All Applicants who exercise their Rights in full will receive their Entitlement in full.

New Shares will be issued to Applicants only after all of their Application Money has been received and ASX has granted permission for the new Shares to be quoted.

Application Moneys received by the Company from Applicants for new Shares will be held in a separate account by the Company until those Shares are issued. Any interest earned on Application Moneys will be applied against the costs of the Issue, with any balance being retained by the Company.

If the Offer does not proceed (for whatever reason), the Application Moneys will be returned without interest.

2.10. CLOSING DATE

The Closing Date for the Issue is 5.00 pm WST on 3 May 2024. Subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Directors may extend the Closing Date at any time prior to the date set out in the timetable in section 2.2 of this Prospectus. The date the Shares are expected to commence trading on ASX may vary with any change to the Closing Date.

2.11. ISSUE OF NEW SHARES

The new Shares will be issued to Applicants, and holding statements for the new Shares will be dispatched to Applicants, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

2.12. RANKING OF NEW SHARES

On issue, the new Shares will rank equally with all other Shares then on issue.

2.13. SHORTFALL

If not all Qualifying Shareholders take up their Entitlements under this Offer in full, the portion not taken up will form part of the Shortfall.

Qualifying Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall, regardless of the size of their present holding.

The offer of the Shortfall is a separate offer pursuant to this Offer Document (“QS Shortfall Offer”). The issue price of any new Shares comprising part of the Shortfall shall be $0.001, being the same price at which the Shares are being offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to this Offer Document.

7

1488279v1

Qualifying Shareholders who wish to participate in the offer of the Shortfall by applying for new Shares above their Entitlement, should insert the number of additional new Shares they wish to apply for in that section of the table in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form headed "Number of Shortfall Shares (if any) applied for in excess of the Entitlement shown above". Any additional new Shares applied for must be paid in the same manner as the Entitlement Shares are paid for. A single payment should be made for the Application Moneys for any new Shares a Qualifying Shareholder has applied for as part of its Entitlement and any additional new Shares applied for as part of the Shortfall. It is an express term of the offer of the Shortfall that applicants for new Shares comprised in the Shortfall will be bound to accept a lesser number of additional new Shares than the number applied for.

The Shortfall will be placed at the discretion of the Company, and the Company reserves the right to not allot any of the Shortfall or to allot to a Qualifying Shareholder a lesser number of the new Shares comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the Qualifying Shareholder applies or to reject an application. In assessing any application by a Qualifying Shareholder to take up a portion of the Shortfall, the Company will take into account the number of Shares held by that Qualifying Shareholder as at the Record Date and the Company does not intend that a Qualifying Shareholder with a small shareholding in the Company will be issued a large portion of the Shortfall (if any). 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 for which they apply. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not receive all or any of the additional new Shares they apply for, any excess Application Moneys will be returned to them (without interest).

The Directors (whether personally or through their associated companies or trusts) will not apply for any additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall under the QS Shortfall Offer.

The Directors also reserve the right to place the balance of the Shortfall not subscribed for by Qualifying Shareholders under the QS Shortfall Offer within 3 months of the Closing Date, at an issue price of not less than the issue price under this Offer, being $0.001 per Share. The Directors intend, in placing any remaining Shortfall (if any), to allocate it to sophisticated and professional investors.

2.14. ASX QUOTATION

The Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares to be issued under this Offer granted official quotation.

2.15. MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION

There is no minimum subscription.

2.16. OVERSUBSCRIPTIONS

Oversubscriptions will not be accepted.

2.17. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend this Offer to Foreign Shareholders having regard to the number of Foreign Shareholders in each jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand, the number and value of Shares that would be offered to them and the costs of complying with the laws, and any requirements of regulatory authorities, of the applicable jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Recipients (including Custodians) may not send or otherwise distribute this Offer Document or the Accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia or New Zealand.

Accordingly this Offer is not extended to, and no Shares will be issued to, Foreign Shareholders, and no Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be sent to Foreign Shareholders. However, in compliance with Listing

8

1488279v1

Rule 7.7.1, the Company will send each Foreign Shareholder details of this Offer and advise them that the Company will not offer Shares to them.

2.18. DIRECTOR SHAREHOLDING

As at the date of this Offer Document, all of the Directors (either personally, or through associated companies or trusts) hold Shares in the Company. All of the Company’s Directors are therefore Qualifying Shareholders and will receive Rights to subscribe for new Shares pursuant to this Offer.

The relevant interest of each of the Directors in the Shares and Options of the Company as at the date of this Offer Document, and the Rights they will receive under this Offer are as follows:

Gregory
Solomon and
Arkenstone Pty
Ltd (and
associated
companies and
trusts)
(“Arkenstone
Group”)
Douglas
Solomon and
March Bells Pty
Ltd (and
associated
companies and
trusts)
(“MB Group”)

Shares currently held 51,292,600 51,651,400 29,793,200
New Shares offered under
this Offer (estimated)
51,292,600 51,651,400 29,793,200
Options currently held - - -

Nothing in this Offer Document will be taken to preclude any of the Directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of their subsidiary companies from applying for new Shares under this Offer.

2.19. 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 Offer. The proportionate interest of a Qualifying Shareholder who takes up their Entitlement in full and applies for (and is issued) additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall will increase.

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

Foreign Shareholders will have their interest in the Company diluted.

Existing Optionholders who do not exercise all or any of their Options before the Record Date will not be entitled to participate in this 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 Issue).

2.20.

IMPACT ON CONTROL

The new Shares offered under this Offer represent 100% of the Company’s current issued Share capital.

The Company’s largest shareholder, BNP Paribas Nominees Pty Ltd, which is an institutional investor, holds 9.56% of the Company’s total current issued Share capital.

9

1488279v1

The Company’s next two largest shareholders, Tasman Resources Ltd (“Tasman”) and Tadea Pty Ltd (and associated entities) (“Tadea”) (both non-institutional investors), currently hold 7.34% and 6.79% respectively of the Company’s total current issued Share capital. Tasman and Tadea are unrelated shareholders.

If all Qualifying Shareholders take up their Entitlements in full, the voting power of all Qualifying Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Offer on the control of the Company.

In view of the current shareholding of Tasman and Tadea, irrespective of the extent of the Rights under this Issue which are taken up, and the extent to which Tasman and Tadea take up their Entitlements under this Issue, this Issue is not anticipated to have any material effect on the control of the Company.

Further, if either of Tasman or Tadea elect to take up their Entitlements in full and to subscribe for any of the Shortfall, by virtue of the prohibition in s.606 of the Corporations Act, the maximum percentage interest which either of them can acquire in the Company’s total issued share capital at the completion of the Offer and QS Shortfall Offer is 19.99%. The Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of the Shares under the QS Shortfall Offer (which is placed at the discretion of the Company) on the control of the Company will also be minimal.

2.21. MARKET PRICES OF EXISTING SHARES ON ASX

The highest and lowest market sale price of the existing Shares during the 3 months immediately preceding the lodgement of this Offer Document with ASX, and the last market sale price on the Business Day immediately preceding the lodgement date of this Offer Document, are set out below.

3-Month High 3-Month Low Last Market Price
12/01/2024 27/03/2024 05/04/2024
Existing Shares $0.005 $0.001 $0.001

2.22. RISKS

Investing in new Shares in the Company involves risk. There are a number of factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of an investment with the Company.

2.22.1. 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 Ltd are located in Greenland) and delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals and delays in securing appropriate contractors (e.g. drillers). Profitability depends on successful exploration and identification and/or acquisition of reserves. Exploration is a speculative endeavour and the Company may not be successful in identifying any commercial mineral deposits on any of the tenements in which it holds an interest.

2.22.2. 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

10

1488279v1

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.

2.22.3. 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.

2.22.4. Operating Risks

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors including failure to identify or acquire 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, inability to obtain satisfactory, or retain existing, joint venture partners, difficulties in obtaining requisite planning approvals, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, 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 any of the tenements in which it holds an interest. Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects, it will incur ongoing operating losses.

2.22.5. Production Risks

Even assuming that viable deposits of minerals are identified and able to be mined (of which there is no guarantee), 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:

  • government regulation;

  • processing interruptions;

  • equipment failure;

  • equipment or manpower shortages;

  • force majeure;

  • well blowouts;

  • explosions;

  • fires;

  • pollution;

  • releases of toxic gas; or

  • other environmental hazards and risks.

2.22.6. 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 current Russia/Ukraine conflict, supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancement, 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.

11

1488279v1

2.22.7. Title Risks and Native Title

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 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 Ltd) could lose title to or its interest in the tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. In relation to tenements in Australia which the Company has an interest, there are areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. The Greenlandic Inuit people may also have certain rights with respect to the tenements held by Longland Resources in Greenland. The ability of the Company to obtain the consent of any relevant land owner, or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of the operation (if a commercial mineral deposit is identified), may be adversely affected.

2.22.8. 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 the Company identifies a commercial mineral deposit (of which there is no guarantee) and 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 area, no definitive study has been carried out over the area, and if any were discovered this could prevent mining occurring.

2.22.9. Share Market Conditions

The price of the Shares when quoted on the 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 new Shares may fall or rise, and the price of the new Shares may trade below or above the issue price of $0.001.

2.22.10. Working Capital

Until the Company is able to realise value from its projects or investments, it will incur ongoing operating losses. It is therefore likely the Company will have to raise further capital or borrow funds in the future. 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.

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.

2.22.11. No formal valuation of Shares, tenements or assets

No formal valuation of any of the tenements in which the Company has an interest have been carried out.

2.22.12. Arbitration Proceedings

Conico’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Longland Resources Ltd, 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 has counterclaimed 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. Longland and

12

1488279v1

Conico have applied to have Cartwright’s claim dismissed at a hearing of preliminary issues to be heard on 17 June 2024.

2.22.13. 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, social disorder or war in Australia or overseas, international hostilities and acts of terrorism, pandemics (including the impacts of COVID-19), as well as many other factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

2.22.14. 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 offered under this Offer Document. Therefore, no assurances or guarantees of future profitability, distributions, payment of dividends, return of capital, the future performance of the Company or its Shares, the price of the Shares or the return on any investment in the Company can be, or is, provided by the Company.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential Applicants should read this Offer Document 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, including the new Shares offered under this Offer Document, will be achieved.

3.1. WHAT YOU MAY DO – CHOICES AVAILABLE

If you are a Qualifying Shareholder, you may take any of the following actions:

  • take up all or part of your Rights (refer to section 3.2);

  • take up part of your Rights and allow the balance to lapse (refer to section 3.2);

Qualifying Shareholders who take up all of their Rights may also apply for additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall (see section 2.13 of this Offer Document for further details).

3.2. TAKING UP ALL OR PART OF YOUR RIGHTS

If you are a Qualifying Shareholder and you wish to take up all or part of your Rights, you should:

  • read this Offer Document in full and decide whether to participate;

  • consider the risks associated with this Offer, as summarised in section 2.22, in light of your personal circumstances; and

  • either:

  • (1) pay the Application Moneys for the Rights you are taking up by BPay® by no later than 5.00 pm WST on 3 May 2024. Qualifying Shareholders who pay electronically (by BPay®), do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and they will be taken to have accepted the Offer upon making payment by BPay®. This acceptance cannot be withdrawn. Instructions on how to make a payment by BPay® are set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Qualifying Shareholders should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and they should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of Qualifying Shareholders to ensure that funds submitted through BPay® are received by 5:00pm WST on the Closing Date.

OR

  • (2) pay the Application Moneys for the Rights you are taking up by via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Multiple acceptances must be paid separately. Please use your unique reference on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. This will ensure your payment is processed correctly to your Application electronically. Applicants should be aware of Automic’s financial institution’s cut off-time, their own financial institution’s cut-off time and associated fees with processing a funds transfer. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure funds are submitted correctly by the Closing Date and time, including taking into account any delay that may occur as a result of payments being made after 5:00pm WST and/or on a day that is not a business day (payment must be made to be processed overnight). Qualifying Shareholders who pay by EFT do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and they will be taken to have accepted the Offer upon making payment via EFT. This acceptance cannot be withdrawn. Your reference number will process your payment to your application electronically and you will be deemed to have applied for such Shares for which you have paid.

OR

  • (3) complete the enclosed Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on the back of the form and deliver it, together with your cheque or money order for the

16

1488279v1

Application Money for the Rights you are taking up, by no later than 5.00 pm WST on the Closing Date, to:

Conico Ltd. c/- Automic

GPO Box 5193, Sydney NSW 2001

OR Conico Ltd. c/- Automic Level 5, 126 Phillip Street Sydney NSW 2000

Cheques (drawn on and payable at any Australian bank) should be made payable to “Conico Limited – Rights Issue” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

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

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form which does not specify an Australian or New Zealand address for service (or which is accompanied by payment drawn on a foreign bank account) may be rejected and returned unless Shareholders provide evidence which satisfies the Company that the issue of the Shares will not contravene the laws of any other jurisdiction.

If an Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly the Company can reject it or treat it as valid. The Company’s decision as to whether to reject the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or treat it as valid and how to construe, amend or complete it is final.

If Qualifying Shareholders apply for more Shares than their Entitlement, they will be deemed to have applied for their full Entitlement and for additional new Shares under the QS Shortfall Offer in section 2.13 to the extent of the excess. If the amount a Qualifying Shareholders pays is insufficient to pay for their full Entitlement, they will be taken to have applied for such lower number of Shares as that amount will pay for.

No brokerage or duty is payable by Qualifying Shareholders on the issue of Shares.

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.
