It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.

Forward - looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5.
Overseas shareholders
These Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.9.
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Securities.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and 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 is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they
i
arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX. Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.
Electronic Prospectus
A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the website of the Company at www.conico.com.au. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian or New Zealand resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia or New Zealand.

You may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company by phone on +61 8 9282 5889 during office hours or by emailing the Company at [email protected].
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
Company Website
No documents or other information available on the Company’s website is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference.
Secondary Offers
This Prospectus also contains Secondary Offers of Shares pursuant to the Cleansing Offer. Please refer to 2.10 for further details.
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security
Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
Photographs and Diagrams
Photographs used in this Prospectus which do not have descriptions are for illustration only and should not be interpreted to mean that any person shown endorses the Prospectus or its contents or that the assets shown in them are owned by the Company. Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale.
Definitions and Time
Unless the contrary intention appears or the context otherwise requires, words and phrases contained in this Prospectus have the same meaning and interpretation as given in the Corporations Act and capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Glossary in Section 8.
All references to time in this Prospectus are references to Australian Western Standard Time.
Privacy statement
If you complete an Application Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder and to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, including bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the share registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. If you wish to do so, please contact the share registry at the relevant contact number set out in this Prospectus.
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

On 1 December 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,970,796,348 Shares (preconsolidation) following receipt of Shareholder approval at the Company’s annual general meeting ( Annual General Meeting ) held on 28 November 2025 ( Approved Shares ).

The Company expects to complete the Placement on 15 December 2025 through the issue of 37,500,000 Shares to the Unrelated Placement Participants using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, the Company is making the Cleansing Offer under this Prospectus to remove any trading restrictions that may otherwise attach to the Approved Shares and Placement Shares.
1.4 Key Risk Factors
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities involves a number of risks and an investment in the Company should be considered as highly speculative. The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are set out in Section 5.
The predominant risks relating to the Company and the Entitlement Offer are summarised below:
| **RISK1 ** | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Mineral Exploration Risks |
The Company is exposed to the risks typically associated with exploration companies. In particular, there is no assurance that the exploration results achieved by the Company or relevant economic factors will lead to the discovery and development of a commercially viable orebody. The Company’s future exploration activities may be adversely affected by a range of factors, including geological conditions, restrictions on activities arising from permitting requirements, the availability and cost of suitable exploration equipment, exploration and operating costs, seasonal weather patterns, unforeseen operational and technical difficulties, industrial or environmental incidents, and other factors beyond the Company’s control. |
| Future capital needs | The Company may be required to raise additional capital from time to time to continue funding its exploration activities. Such funding may not be available when required, or may only be available on terms unacceptable to the Company, including due to factors such as the failure to |
2
| **RISK1 ** | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| discover a commercially viable orebody and/or weak market conditions and/or adverse movements in prices for the metals the Company is seeking to explore and potentially produce. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional funding as and when needed, which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to carry out its business strategy and may dilute existing Shareholders if raised by way of equity. |
|
| Environmental | The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in relation to its exploration activities and is required to comply with all applicable requirements, including those relating to rehabilitation of exploration sites. Failure by the Company to comply with environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of penalties, suspension of operations, reputational damage, or increased costs, any of which could adversely impact the Company’s business, financial position and prospects. |
| General market risks | The Company is exposed to general market and economic risks, including adverse changes in levels of economic activity, exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, government policies, employment levels and the incidence of industrial disruption. Any deterioration in these factors may adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial performance and the market price of its securities. |
Notes:
- Refer to Section 5 for further details of the key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which the Company operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally.

1.6 Details of Substantial Holders
Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:
| SHAREHOLDER | SHARES | % |
|---|---|---|
| Orequest Pty Ltd1 | 29,493,300 | 10.52 |
| Tadea Pty Ltd | 17,641,364 | 6.29 |
Notes:
- Orequest Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company by virtue of Director, Guy Le Page’s spouse being a director and shareholder of Orequest Pty Ltd.
In the event all Entitlements are accepted under the Entitlement Offer, there will be no change to the substantial holders on completion of the Offers.
1.7 Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Templar Corporate Pty Ltd (AFSL 315235) ( Underwriter or Templar Corporate ) pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and the Underwriter ( Underwriting Agreement ). Refer to Section 6.4.1 for a summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
In accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Templar Corporate has also been engaged by the Company to provide lead manager services ( Lead Manager Services ) in relation to the Entitlement Offer. Refer to Section 6.4.1 for further details in relation to Templar Corporate’s engagement as lead manager and the total fees payable for the Lead Manager Services.
Templar Corporate is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity jointly controlled by the Company’s Director, Mr Guy Le Page. Accordingly, the Company has given consideration to the relevant Takeovers Panel guidance, in particular the provisions of Takeovers Panel Guidance Note 17 ( GN 17 ) to put in place appropriate strategies to mitigate the potential control effects of the Entitlement Offer.
Prior to entering into the Underwriting Agreement, the Company considered alternative funding options, which would mitigate against any potential control effects. The Company was not able to reach agreement in relation to any of these alternatives.
In the Board’s opinion, in the current commercial environment, the underwriting by the Underwriter of a non-renounceable entitlement issue was the only feasible option that was available to the Company in the context securing a commitment to raise a substantial amount of funding by the Company.
In order to further mitigate the potential control effects of the underwriting:
-
(a) the Company included a shortfall facility for Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for extra Shares (the Shortfall Offer ) , as described in Section 2.6; and
-
(b) the Underwriter has agreed with the Company that Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Shortfall Offer will be given priority over the Underwriters in respect of any Shortfall.
-
(c) the Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting agreements with unrelated parties of the Company for a total of approximately 85% percent of the potential Shortfall Offer, in order to reduce the amount of the Shortfall Offer that it would be required to subscribe for.
If the Entitlement Offer is oversubscribed (by take up of Entitlements and applications for Shortfall Shares by Eligible Shareholders), scale back will be applied to applications under the Shortfall Offer on a pro-rata basis to the respective shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders.
Allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board in conjunction with the Underwriter. No Shares will be issued to an applicant under the Prospectus or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Shares would contravene the takeover prohibition in
4
section 606 of the Corporations Act. To that end, in exercising their discretion regarding the allocation of the Shortfall, the Board will not do so in a manner which is likely to exacerbate a potential unacceptable control effect on the Company.
The Company has a clear need for funds which has not been contrived, and having regard to all available options, the Company has considered that entering into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter provides the Company with the highest degree of certainty in the time available that the Entitlement Offer will be successful.
The Company did consider the issue of renounceability of the Entitlement Offer. The fact that the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable should not be considered a significant factor given the Company considers that a market for rights is unlikely and the additional costs which would be incurred to make the Entitlement Offer renounceable.
In light of the above, the Company considers that the structure of the Entitlement Offer should not give rise to unacceptable circumstances.
Guy Le Page and related party considerations
As set out above, the Underwriter is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity jointly controlled by the Company’s Director, Mr Guy Le Page.
Mr Le Page, is a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act by virtue of being a Director.
The Board (other than Mr Le Page) considered prior Shareholder approval for the entry into the Underwriting Agreement with Mr Le Page (which is deemed under the Corporations Act to be the giving of a financial benefit to Mr Le Page) was not required on the basis that the terms of the agreement are considered to be ‘arm’s length’.
Having regard to ASIC Regulatory Guide 6: Takeovers: Exceptions to the general prohibition and Regulatory Guide 76: Related party transactions at section C, the Board considered the terms of the Underwriting Agreement to be on an arm’s length basis for the following reasons:
-
(a) the remaining terms of the Underwriting Agreement (a detailed summary of which is included in Section 6.4.1 of the Prospectus) are considered arm’s length;
-
(b) the purpose of the underwriting is not to confer control on Mr Le Page, but rather to provide a degree of certainty in raising funds under the Entitlement Offer on the basis that:-
-
(i) all Eligible Shareholders will have (in priority) a pro-rata entitlement to subscribe for Shares under the Entitlement Offer if they choose to participate);
-
(ii) the Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting agreements with unrelated parties of the Company for a total of approximately 85% percent of the potential Shortfall Offer, in order to reduce the amount of the Shortfall Offer that it would be required to subscribe for, as outlined above;
-
(c) there are no undisclosed fees payable to Mr Le Page; and
-
(d) Mr Le Page will not receive any benefits from the Company’s proposed use of capital raised (other than as a Shareholder).
The Company followed robust protocols to ensure conflicts of interest were appropriately managed in negotiating and structuring the underwriting, including ensuring that Mr Le Page was recused from Board considerations and abstained from voting on the matter.
1.8 Effect on Control
1.8.1 Current shareholding of the Underwriter
The Underwriter is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an entity jointly controlled by the Company’s Director, Guy Le Page.
5
As set out in the above section, Guy Le Page currently holds an interest in 6,775,798 Shares and 7,142 Options amounting to an 1.40% interest in the Company’s Shares (on a fully diluted basis).
As set out in Section 6.4.1, in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, in consideration for the underwriting and Lead Manager Services the Company agreed to pay Templar Corporate, subject to Shareholder approval, the following:
-
(a) an underwriting fee equal to 6% (plus GST) of the total gross proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer, of which an amount of $125,133.81 was settled via the issue of 15,641,726 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.008 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis);
-
(b) 3,750,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis); and
-
(c) 100,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.016 on or before 30 November 2029 (on a post-Consolidation basis).
(together, the Templar Securities ).
The Company received Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Templar Securities to Templar Corporate (or its nominees) at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2025.
ASX Listing Rule 10.13.5 mandates that where security holders approve an issue of or agreement to issue securities to a related party under Listing Rule 10.11, the securities must be issued within one month of that approval.
Accordingly, in light of the timing of the Entitlement Offer under this Prospectus and the Company’s obligations under ASX Listing Rule 10.13.5, the Company issued the Templar Securities to nominees of Templar Corporate on 1 December 2025, of which Mr Le Page is not considered to have a relevant interest.
Company and Templar Corporate have agreed that, if Templar Corporate does not satisfy its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement or provide the Lead Managers Services in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement:
-
(a) all options issued to Templar Corporate as part of the Templar Securities will be cancelled; and
-
(b) Templar Corporate will dispose of the Shares comprising the balance of the Templar Securities and account to the Company for the proceeds of sale.
Accordingly, if Templar Corporate does not fulfil its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement and the arrangements described above are implemented, the number of securities held by Templar Corporate will be reduced and its voting power in the Company correspondingly diminished. In these circumstances, the potential effect of the Templar Securities on the control of the Company, as outlined in this Section, will be reduced (and may, depending on the level of participation by other Shareholders in the Entitlement Offer, be materially reduced).
1.8.2 Effect on control following the Offers
If the Entitlement Offer is not fully subscribed and Shares are issued to the Underwriter under this Prospectus (depending on the level of any Shortfall), this will increase Guy Le Page’s relevant interest in the Company and dilute the Shareholding of other Shareholders to the extent they elect not to participate in the Entitlement Offer or are ineligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
A summary of the potential changes to the voting power of the Underwriter following completion of the Entitlement Offer is set out below:

| Shortfall of 50% | 317,868,484 | 178,325,968 | 28.05%2 |
| Shortfall of 75% | 317,868,484 | 257,793,089 | 40.55%2 |
| Shortfall of 100% | 317,868,484 | 337,260,210 | 53.05%2 |
Notes:
-
Calculated on the basis that there are 317,868,484 Shares on issue and assumes that the Placement Shares have been issued.
-
Calculated on the basis that there are 635,736,968 Shares on issue following completion of the Offers.
The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above shows the potential effect of the underwriting of the Entitlement Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders, other than the Underwriter will take up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer. The underwriting obligation and resulting voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer subscribed for by the other Shareholders.
In accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter will allocate the Shortfall to its sub-underwriters and/or clients and people who have otherwise agreed to assist with the completion of the Entitlement Offer such that neither the Underwriter, the sub-underwriters nor any of the Underwriter’s clients, individually, will have a voting power in the Company in excess of 19.9% after the issue of the Shortfall.
The Company, in consultation with the Underwriter, will ensure that the Entitlement Offer (including the equitable dispersion of any Shortfall Securities) complies with the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and is otherwise consistent with the policy guidelines contained in ASIC Regulatory Guide 6 and Takeovers Panel Guidance Note 17.
1.9 Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders
In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.8, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 50% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:
| Holder | Holding as at Record date |
% at Record **Date1 ** |
Entitlements under the Offer |
Holdings if Offer not taken Up |
% post Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 3.15% | 10,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 1.57% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 1.57% | 5,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 0.79% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 0.47% | 1,500,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.24% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.13% | 400,000 | 400,000 | 0.06% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.02% | 50,000 | 50,000 | 0.01% |
| Total | 16,950,000 | 5.33% | 16,950,000 | 16,950,000 | 2.67% |
Notes:
- Calculated on the basis that there are 280,368,484 Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus plus the issue of the Placement Shares of 37,500,000 and assumes no additional Shares are issued including on exercise or conversion of other Securities on issue.
7
- The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Underwriting and Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

2.3 Payment options
- (a) By BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00pm (WST) on the
10
Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
(b) Guidance where you have more than one CRN (Shareholding of Shares)
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
- (c) By Electronic Funds Transfer (overseas applicants)
For payment by Electronic Funds Transfer ( EFT ) for overseas Eligible Shareholders, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via EFT if you are the holder of an account that supports EFT transactions to an Australian bank account. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:

-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
(d) By Cheque
Payment by cheque or cash will not be accepted.
2.4 Implications of an acceptance

-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® or EFT payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
2.5 Minimum subscription

2.6
Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.008 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Entitlement Offer.
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders, the Underwriters or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer.
11
Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Section 2.3. Eligible Shareholders who wish to apply for Shortfall Shares will be given priority allocation of the Shortfall Shares over other applicants.
Allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board in conjunction with the Underwriter and will otherwise be subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, details of which are set out in Section 6.4.1. If the Entitlement Offer is oversubscribed (by take up of Entitlements and applications for Shortfall Securities by Eligible Shareholders), scale back will be applied to applications under the Shortfall Offer on a pro-rata basis to the respective shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive Securities applied for under the Shortfall Offer and the Company accepts no liability to any applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Shares they applied for under the Shortfall Offer.
The Company set about structuring the Entitlement Offer in the most fair, equitable and transparent way seeking to ensure that all Eligible Shareholders (including those in all foreign jurisdictions) were given the opportunity to subscribe for new Shares both through their pro rata entitlement and under the Shortfall Offer, however also seeking to ensure some certainty in funding recognising the Company’s urgent need to raise capital.
In seeking this balance, the Company has carefully considered its allocation policy and dispersion strategy in relation to the Shortfall Offer.
The Board intends to allocate Shortfall Shares in priority as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for Shares in excess of their Entitlement, provided the issue of Shortfall Shares to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%;
-
(b) to other external investors with no existing shareholding in the Company as identified by the Directors; and
-
(c) to the Underwriter in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement outlined in Section 6.4.1.
No Securities will be issued to an applicant under this Prospectus or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Securities would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.
Eligible Shareholders resident in jurisdictions outside Australia should note that their participation in the Shortfall Offer may be restricted by Australia’s foreign investment laws. The Company reserves the right to not issue Shortfall Shares to an Eligible Shareholder where it reasonably believes that doing so may infringe on Australia’s foreign investment laws.
2.7 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.
2.8 Issue of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is
12
made surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.
2.9 Overseas shareholders
The Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offers are not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
New Zealand
The Securities are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021 (New Zealand).
This Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.
Nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
2.10 Cleansing Offer
This Prospectus also includes the Cleansing Offer which is an offer of up to 10,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.008 per Share to raise $80.
The primary purpose of the Cleansing Offer is to remove any trading restrictions that may have attached to the Approved Shares and the Placement Shares issued by the Company without disclosure under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act prior to the Closing Date (including prior to the date of this Prospectus).
Accordingly, the Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $80 under the Cleansing Offer as the purpose of the Cleansing Offer is not to raise capital. The funds raised under the Cleansing Offer (if any) will be applied towards expenses of the Offers. On that basis, there will be no surplus proceeds from the Cleansing Offer. Refer to Section 6.8 for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Offers.
13
Relevantly, section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
- (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and
either:
-
(b) a prospectus is lodged with the ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(c) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
-
(d) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
Applicants for the Shares under the Cleansing Offer must only be made by investors upon request by the Company. The Directors will determine the recipients of the Shares under the Cleansing Offer in their sole discretion. The Company will only provide Application Forms to the persons invited to participate in the Cleansing Offer.

In addition, it should be noted that the Company’s budgets and forecasts will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results achieved from its business activities and operations.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus.

Cleansing Offer

Accordingly, the Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $80 under the Cleansing Offer as the purpose of the Cleansing Offer is not to raise capital.
All of the funds raised under the Cleansing Offer (if any) will be applied towards the expenses of the Offers. On that basis, there will be no surplus proceeds from the Cleansing Offer. Refer to Section 6.8 for further details relating to the estimated expenses of the Offers.

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
4.2 General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
4.3 Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(a) each Shareholder entitled to 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; and

(c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
4.4 Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
4.5 Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any
18
property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
4.6
Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
4.7 Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
4.8 Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
4.9
Variation of rights
Under section 246B of 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 is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated 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.
4.10 Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Shares may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. This Section 5 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 5 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.
5.2 Company specific
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution | In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.8, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 50% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share will be following the completion of the Offers being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.046 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offers. |
| Control risk | Orequest Pty Ltd is currently the largest Shareholder of the Company and has a relevant interest in approximately 10.5% of the Shares in the Company. Orequest Pty Ltd’s significant interest in the capital of the Company means that it is in a position to potentially influence the financial decisions of the Company, and its interests may not align with those of all other Shareholders. |
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financingas needed,it maybe required to reduce |
20
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |
|
| Going Concern | The Company’s annual report for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company and the possible existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ note included in the Financial Report, the Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current exploration commitments and short term working capital requirements. In the event that the Entitlement Offer is not completed successfully there is significant uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities. |
| Climate Risk | There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: (a) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and (b) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. |
| Overseas operations | Two of the Company’s projects (Projects) are located in Greenland. Consequently, the Company is subject to the risks associated with operating in that jurisdiction. Such risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, changes in government policy or regulation, currency volatility, and changes to laws affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, exchange controls, exploration and mining licences, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, mine safety,labour relations,indigenous and communityrights,as |
21
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| well as government control over or intervention in projects and related infrastructure. Changes to mining, environmental or investment policies and legislation in Greenland, or a shift in political or regulatory attitude towards mineral exploration and development (including with respect to climate, environmental and social considerations), may adversely affect the Company’s ability to explore and develop its projects, the costs of doing so, and the Company’s overall operations, financial performance and profitability. |
|
| Related Party Risk | The Company has a number of key contractual relationships with related parties. If these relationships breakdown and the related party agreements are terminated, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to find a satisfactory replacement. Further, the operations of the Company will require involvement of related parties and other third parties including directors, equity brokers and tenement managers. With respect to these persons and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-contracting due diligence, the Company is unable to completely avoid the risk of: (a) financial failure or default by a participant in any agreement to which the Company may become a party; and/or (b) insolvency, default on performance or delivery by any operators, contractors or service providers. There is also a risk that where the Company has engaged a contractor who is a related party, the contract between the contractor and the Company may terminate for reasons outside of the control of the Company. This may then result in the termination of the contract between the Company and the contractor and the impact the Company’s position, performance and reputation. |
5.3 Industry specific
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Exploration and development risk |
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Company’s projects (Projects) or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Mineral exploration and development is a speculative and high-risk undertaking that may be impeded by circumstances and factors beyond the control of the Company. Success in this process involves, among other things: (a) discovery and proving-up, or acquiring, an economically recoverable resource or reserve; (b) access to adequate capital throughout the acquisition/discovery and project development phases; (c) securing and maintaining title to mineral exploration projects; (d) obtaining required development consents and approvals necessary for the acquisition, mineral |
22
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| exploration, development and production phases; and (e) accessing the necessary experienced operational staff, the appropriate financial management and recruiting skilled contractors, consultants and employees. |
|
| Operational risk | The Company’s operational assets are subject to risks that may result in the assets failing to perform in line with expectations. For example, there is a risk that the Company’s assets may be damaged or destroyed by hail, wind, flood, cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, fire, war, explosion, terrorism or some other natural or man-made disaster. These risks may impact generation, lead to failure or deterioration of equipment, adversely impact performance and business stability of the Company's suppliers and contractors, and lead to transmission system congestion, curtailment or failure of the plant, labour issues and strikes, and other operational issues. |
| Occupational health and safety risk |
There is a risk that an incident could lead to a fatality or serious harm to an employee, a contractor, a joint venture/third party employee or a member of the public. Employees may be exposed to hazards and risks when working on operating assets. If such an incident were to occur, this may affect the Company's reputation. The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. |
| Environmental risk | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment. The Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment. It is the intention of the Company to adhere to its environmental obligations, including compliance with environmental laws. Further, events such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company's ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges to the environment, or non- compliance with environmental laws or regulations. |
| Resource estimates | Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource on other Projects, no assurance can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of new or additional resources on any Project. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when initially calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature resource and reserve estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations which may prove to be inaccurate. |
| Results of studies | Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in relation to its Projects. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive feasibility and bankable feasibility studies. These studies will be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of the subject Projects within |
23
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of these studies will confirm the economic viability of the subject Projects or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ from the results of a scoping study). Even if a study confirms the economic viability of a Project, there can be no guarantee that the Project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete a study may be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further funds to complete the study if required. |
|
| Rehabilitation of Tenements |
In relation to the Company’s proposed operations, issues could arise from time to time with respect to abandonment costs, consequential clean-up costs, environmental concerns and other liabilities. In these instances, the Company may become subject to liability if, for example, there is environmental pollution or damage from the Company’s exploration activities and there are consequential clean-up costs at a later point in time. |
| Tenement conditions |
The Company's projects will be subject to various tenement conditions (including, without limitation, minimum work requirements). Failure to comply with such conditions may lead to forfeiture. The tenements will also be subject to renewal. If any of the tenements are not renewed for any reason the Company could suffer damage through loss of opportunity to explore and develop those tenements. The Directors are not aware of any reason why renewal of the tenements will not occur. |
| Title and tenure | The Company's Projects only currently permit exploration activities. If the Company successfully delineates an economic resource on any of these exploration permits or implements a technology aimed at extraction of resources, it will need to apply for a mining permit to undertake development and mining. There is no guarantee that the Company will be granted a mining permit if one is applied for, as such grants are discretionary. Exploration permits are subject to annual review and periodic renewal. The renewal of the term of a granted exploration permit is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the permits comprising the Company’s Projects. While it is the Company’s intention to satisfy the conditions that apply to the tenements, there can be no guarantees that, in the future, the tenements that are subject to renewal will be renewed or that minimum expenditure and other conditions that apply to the tenements will be satisfied. If a tenement holder fails to comply with the terms and conditions of a tenement, the Minister may impose a fine or order that the tenement be forfeited. In most cases, an order for forfeiture can only be made where the breach is of sufficient gravity to justify forfeiture of the tenement. |
| Native title and Aboriginal heritage |
In relation to the Company’s Western Australian Mt Thirsty Project, where Native Title may exist over any of the Company’s tenements, the ability of the Company to convert the |
24
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| tenement or part thereof into a valid mining lease (for example in the event of the Company making a discovery) will be subject to the Company reaching a commercial agreement with the holders of or applicants for Native Title or on the Company obtaining a determination from the National Native Title Tribunal that the mining lease be granted in the absence of such an agreement. The negotiation of such a commercial agreement or proceedings in the courts could materially delay the grant of such a mining lease and substantially add to the Company’s costs; failure to reach such an agreement could result in the Company being unable to obtain a mining lease. Irrespective of whether Native Title exists in the relevant areas, in order to conduct exploration activities on the tenement, the Company will usually need to undertake clearance activities in conjunction with the appropriate Aboriginal parties, anthropologists and archaeologists to ascertain whether any sites of significance to Aboriginal parties exist in the relevant areas. Undertaking and completing such site clearance procedures can cause delays to the implementation of exploration activities. Delays in completing such clearance activities can impede or prevent the Company from satisfying the minimum expenditure conditions on the relevant tenements, with the result that the Company may in some instances need to seek whole or partial exemptions from expenditure under the relevant mining legislation in order to keep the tenement in good standing. There is no certainty that such exemptions will be granted in all instances. Where such significant sites do exist, the Company’s ability to conduct exploration on those areas may be subject to obtaining relevant consents under the Aboriginal heritage laws. |
|
| Failure to satisfy expenditure commitments |
Each exploration permit carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in a Tenement if the permit conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. Currently, each of the granted tenements is in good standing. |
| Force majeure | Events may occur within or outside the markets in which the Company operates that could impact upon the global and Australian economies, the operations of the Company and the market price of its Shares. These events include acts of terrorism, outbreaks of international hostilities, fires, pandemics, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, and other man-made or natural events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s services and its ability to conduct business. Given the Company has only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks, its business, financial performance and operations may be materially and adversely affected if any of the events described above occur. |
| Approvals risk | The Company's Projects may require further approvals from third parties before they can be developed. These are likely to include construction, environmental and Aboriginal heritage approvals. There can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained. Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not be able to obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and |
25
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development or operation of a project. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and licences, could result in fines, penalties or other liabilities. |
5.4 General risks
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| Economic | General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration and development activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. |
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. |
| Insurance | Insured or uninsured catastrophic events such as acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, widespread health emergencies, pandemics, epidemics, wars and strikes, could affect the value or the availability of the company's assets and the ability of the Company to sustain operations, provide essential products and services or recover operating costs. Should damage be sustained as a result of these risks, the Company's business and financial performance may be adversely affected. The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, it is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and, where it is available, the cost may be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that an insurer defaults in the payment of a legitimate claim by the Company. |
| Information systems and cyber risk |
The Company is reliant on information technology systems. Despite the Company’s security measures, it is possible that these systems may be breached. Unauthorised third party access to the Company’s information technology systems and the resulting potential theft,loss or misuse of the Company’s |
26
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| information could adversely impact the operations and performance of the Company and the price of its securities. |
|
| Intellectual property risk |
Should the Company acquire technology for use in the development of its Projects, there may be circumstances where the Company's intellectual property cannot be protected or is subject to unauthorised disclosure, infringement or challenge by a third party. The Company may incur significant costs in asserting its rights in such circumstances. Even a registered patent can be invalidated in certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that any technology the Company may acquire will afford the Company a competitive advantage, commercially significant protection of the intellectual property, or that the intellectual property will have successful commercial application. There is always a risk of third parties claiming involvement in technological discoveries. Further, competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes, for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. Some parties may be able to utilise their greater financial resources to better sustain the costs of litigation or proceedings. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company and its subsidiaries are not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Dividends | Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company. |
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus. |
| Reliance on key personnel |
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. |
| Economic conditions and other global or national issues |
General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and |
27
| RISK CATEGORY | RISK |
|---|---|
| international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance. |
|
| Global Conflicts Ukraine and Gaza Specific |
The current evolving conflict between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Palestine (Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by the Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts. The Directors are continuing to closely monitor the potential secondary and tertiary macroeconomic impacts of the unfolding events, including the changing pricing of commodity and energy markets and the potential of cyber activity impacting governments and businesses. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to the Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts, including limitations on travel and changes to import/export restrictions and arrangements involving the relevant countries may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and considers the impact of the Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts on the Company’s business and financial performance to, at this stage, be limited. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. |
| US Tariffs | The U.S. government has recently imposed and may continue to impose tariffs or other trade restrictions on imports from certain countries. A significant risk to the Company’s economic outlook is the threat of the imposition of US tariffs, which could disrupt global trade, business and investment. While the scope and duration of potential trade conflicts remain highly uncertain, any broad-based tariff measures could lead to weaker GDP growth and higher inflation across the global economy. The Company will continually monitor US tariffs and assess how they will impact the Company’s business and financial performance. The Company considers the impact, at this stage, to be limited. However, the implications and consequences of the US tariffs are uncertain and are beyond the control of the Company. |
5.5 Speculative investment
The risk factors described above, and other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares.
28

Remuneration
The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
