Geologist Report in
Annexure C

Page 1

Topic Summary More information
What is the
Company's
financial position?
The Company was incorporated in March 2021 and has not
traded. Therefore, it has not earned any revenue or incurred
expenses from its activities, other than the expenses of the
Offers.
An Independent Limited Assurance Report is included in
Annexure A which contains financial information about the
Company.
The Board is satisfied that upon completion of the Offers, the
Company will have adequate working capital to meet its stated
objectives.
Section 4 and
Annexure A
What is the
proposed capital
structure of the
Company?
Following completion of the Offers and Secondary Offers
under this Prospectus, the proposed capital structure of the
Company will be as set out in Section 1.4.
Section 1.4
What is the
proposed use of
funds raised under
the Offers?
The Company proposes to use the funds raised from the
Offers towards exploration activities on the Projects, expenses
of the Offers, general administration fees and working capital.
Section 1.3
What is the
Company's
strategy?
Following Admission, the Company intends to undertake
exploration activities on each of the Projects. Although the
Company’s immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with
most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new
business opportunities in the resources sector over time which
complement its business (although the Company confirms that
it is not currently considering other acquisitions and that future
acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resources sector).
Sections 1.3
and 2.5
Summary of key risks
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a
number of risks. The risk factors set out in Section 3, and other general risks applicable to all
investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Securities in the future. Accordingly, an
investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. This Section summarises the key
risks which apply to an investment in the Company and investors should refer to Section 3 for a more
detailed summary of the risks.
Exploration and
development
risks
The Orange East Project lies on the boundary between the
Molong Arc and Hill End Trough within the Ordovician –
Silurian aged Lachlan Fold Belt (which is known to be a major
mineral province with a number of significant mines in
operation or under development in the near vicinity of the
project) and the Byro East Project is located in the Narryer
Gneiss Complex in the northern most part of the Western
Gneiss Terrane which forms the north western corner of the
Yilgarn Craton (which is a globally significant source of gold as
well as base metals).
Section 3.1(a)

Page 2

Topic Summary More information
However, no historical mineral occurrences have been
recorded on the Orange East Project or the Byro East Project
and the Projects have no reported exploration targets, mineral
resources or ore reserves.
Investors are cautioned that the proximity of the Projects to
nearby known historical mineral occurrences is no guarantee
that the Projects will be prospective for an economic reserve.
Investors are cautioned that while the Company believes the
Projects are prospective for gold and nickel-copper, PGE and
orogenic gold mineralisation, as set out in the Independent
Geologist's Report, it is likely, based on industry accepted
statistics, that no significant mineralisation will be located
within the Projects. However, that does not preclude the
Projects from being prospective for small high value deposits.
Further, the reliability of the historical exploration reports used
to produce the Independent Geologist's Report in this regard is
limited as its accuracy and quality, including accuracy of
location of observations, drillholes and sample points,
sampling methodology, laboratory techniques and quality
assurance and is not always detailed within the historical
exploration reports. The inability to properly validate historical
data, included in the Independent Geologist's Report, and
upon which future exploration decisions will be made
increases the overall risk of the exploration process. However,
the Company does not consider that this is a material risk to
its planned exploration as the Independent Geologist has
reviewed and reported on the results in accordance with the
JORC Code as set out in the Independent Geologist's Report,
which indicates that the historical sampling and logging was
performed to a standard sufficient for planning exploration
programs and generating target's for investigation.
Limited history The Company was incorporated on 22 March 2021 and
therefore has limited operational and financial history on which
to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the
Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses
and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the
early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral
exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and
uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will
achieve commercial viability through the successful
exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until
the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is
likely to incur operational losses.
Section 3.1(b)
Contractual risk As at the date of this Prospectus, completion of the Demerger
Implementation Deed has not yet occurred and is subject to
the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent, including RareX
obtaining Shareholderapproval forthe purposes of Listing
Section 3.1(c)

Page 3

Topic Summary More information
Rule 11.4 for the sale of the Spin-out Assets to the Company
(refer to Section 6.2 for further details).
If completion of the Demerger Implementation Deed does not
occur, the Company will not acquire the Spin-Out Assets, the
Offers will not proceed and the Company will not be Admitted.
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives
may be materially affected by the performance by the parties
of their obligations under certain agreements. If any party
defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be
necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a
legal remedy, which can be costly.
Future capital
requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to
generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects
are successfully developed and production commences. The
future capital requirements of the Company will depend on
many factors including its business development activities.
The Company believes its available cash and the net
proceeds of the Offers should be adequate to fund its
business development activities, exploration program and
other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this
Prospectus.
Section 3.1(e)
Title and grant risk As at the date of this Prospectus, ELA09/2443, ELA09/2525
and ELA09/2527 (Pending Tenements), which comprise
three of the seven Tenements within the Byro East Project are
pending applications which must be granted to the Company,
in respect of ELA09/2525 and ELA09/2527, and to RareX (and
then transferred to the Company), in respect of ELA09/2443,
before the Company may undertake mineral exploration on
them. Accordingly, there is a risk that these applications may
not be granted in their entirety or may be granted on
conditions unacceptable to the Company.
If the Pending Tenements are not granted, the Company will
not acquire an interest in these tenements. Unless and until
these tenements are granted (and in the case of ELA09/2443,
transferred to the Company), the Company has limited rights
in respect of those tenements. However, the Company is of
the view that the Pending Tenements (if not granted) will not
have a material impact on its planned exploration program.
Interests in all tenements in Western Australia and New South
Wales are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by
the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for
a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and
reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring
compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to
additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the
Tenementsreduced or lose title to or itsinterestinthe
Section 3.2(a)

Page 4

Topic Summary More information
Tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient
funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
Environmental risk The operations and proposed activities of the Company are
subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning
the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining
operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an
impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration
or field development proceeds.
Section 3.2(k)
Infectious diseases The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having
a material effect on global economic markets. The global
economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic,
which has had and may continue to have a significant impact
on capital markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the
economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures
to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by
governments around the world (such as travel bans and
quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations
and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual
obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.
Section 3.3(j)
Resource
estimation risk
At present none of the Projects host a mineral resource or
reserve estimate. Whilst the Company intends to undertake
exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no
assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the
determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no
assurance can be provided that this can be economically
extracted.
Section 3.2(d)
Third party risks Under Western Australian, New South Wales and
Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to
obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders
of third-party interests which overlay areas within the
Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and
other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining
activities on the Tenements.
Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights entering
into applicable agreements, obtaining necessary consents, or
compensation obligations, may adversely impact the
Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities
within the affected areas. In addition, any third party may
terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully
or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to
exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the Tenements.
However, the Company currently has in place sufficient
access agreements and regulatory approvals in place to
access a sufficient portionoftheProjects to satisfy the
Section 3.2(j)

Topic Summary More information
commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b) for its proposed
exploration program and budget. Whilst the Company does
not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned
exploration, there is a risk that any delays in respect of
conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or
compensation obligations, may adversely impact the
Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities
within the affected areas.
Aboriginal heritage
risk
The Company must comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation
requirements which require heritage survey work to be
undertaken ahead of the commencement of exploration and
mining operations.
The Solicitor's Report searches demonstrate that Byro East
Tenement E09/2387 overlaps with one 'other heritage place'
and Byro East Tenement ELA09/2527 overlaps with one
registered Aboriginal heritage site.
In respect to the Orange East Tenement, the Solicitor's Report
searches indicate that one Aboriginal site is recorded on the
tenement.
The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining
activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the
locations of these sites do not interfere with the Company's
proposed exploration activities.
There remains a risk that future heritage surveys may locate
additional Aboriginal sites on the land the subject of the
Tenements. The existence of such sites may further preclude
or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.
Section 3.2(i)
Native title risk All of the Byro East Project Tenements wholly overlap one
registered native title determination (being Wajarri Yamatji
Part A) and one registered native title claim (Wajarri Yamatji
#1). The Solicitor's Report searches in respect of the Orange
East Tenement indicate that the Tenement does not overlap
any native title claims or determinations.
There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or
registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of
the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements.
The existence of native title claims over the area covered by
the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title
over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the
holderundertheTenements provided theTenementshave
Section 3.2(h)

Page 6

been validly granted in accordance with the_Native Title Act_
1993(Cth) (Native Title Act).
However, if any Tenement was not validly granted in
compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse
impact on the Company's activities. The Company has no
reason to believe the Tenements were not validly granted.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that
are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely
require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title
holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
General risks The Company is subject to various general risks, including the
following (among others):
(a)
economic risk;
(b)
market conditions risk;
(c)
force majeure risk;
(d)
unforeseen expenditure risk; and
(e)
climate change risk.

  3. Working capital includes the general costs associated with the management and operation of the business including administration expenses, rent and other associated costs. Working capital also includes surplus funds and funds for potential future acquisition costs which include costs required for the identification of new projects and opportunistic acquisitions. The Company notes that:

  4. (a) it is not currently considering other acquisitions;

  5. (b) that any future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resources sector;

Page 18

  • (c) that the timing of any such transactions is not yet known; and

The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus.

The Board believes that the funds raised from the Offers will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives as detailed in this Prospectus.

The use of further equity funding may be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to

accelerate a specific project or strategy.

Based on the intended use of funds detailed above, the amounts raised pursuant to the Offers will provide the Company sufficient funding for approximately 2 years' operations. As the Company has no operating revenue, the Company will require further financing in the future. See Section 3 for further details about the risks associated with the Company's future capital requirements.

1.6

Forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters detailed 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.

The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.

Refer to Sections 2.1 and 2.5 for further information in respect to the Company's proposed activities.

1.7

On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of securities.

Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be sent to Shareholders as soon as practicable

Page 24

after allotment. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's Share Registry (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of existing Shares (where applicable) and the number of new Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder's holder identification number (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or Shareholder reference number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder at the end of each month in which there is a transaction on their holding, as required by the Listing Rules.

1.9

ASX Listing and Official Quotation

Within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for admission to the Official List and for the Shares, including those offered by this Prospectus, to be granted Official Quotation (apart from any Shares that may be designated by ASX as restricted securities).

If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or within such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC) none of the Shares offered by this Prospectus will be allotted and issued. If no allotment and issue is made, all Application Monies will be refunded to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.

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

1.10

Application Monies to be held in trust

Application Monies will be held in trust for Applicants until the allotment of the Shares. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company. No allotment of Shares under this Prospectus will occur unless the Offer Conditions are satisfied (refer to Section 1.2).

1.11

Allocation and issue of Shares

The Directors, in conjunction with the Lead Manager will allocate Shares pursuant to the Offers at their sole discretion with a view to ensure an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward.

The allocation of Shares will be influenced by the following factors:

  • (a) the number of Shares applied for (in particular under the RareX Offer);

  • (b) the overall level of demand for the Offers;

  • (c) the desire for a spread of investors, including institutional investors; and

  • (d) the desire for an informed and active market for trading Shares following completion of the Offers.

Whilst priority will be given to Eligible RareX Shareholders, the Directors, in consultation with the Lead Manager, will allocate Shares at their sole discretion with a view to ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward. While it is intended that as

Page 25

many Eligible RareX Shareholders as possible receive at least the Minimum Allocation under the RareX Offer, there is no guarantee that all Eligible RareX Shareholders will have their Applications accepted in full. Eligible RareX Shareholders are encouraged to submit an Application Form as soon as possible.

There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any Shares, or the number of Shares for which it has applied. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or to issue a lesser number of Shares than those applied for. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Closing Date.

Subject to the matters in Section 1.9, Shares under the Offers are expected to be allotted on the Issue Date. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares issued under the Offers. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.

1.12 Risks

Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and involves a number of risks inherent in the various business segments of the Company. Section 3 details the key risk factors which prospective investors should be aware of. It is recommended that prospective investors consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

This Prospectus should be read in its entirety as it provides information for prospective investors to decide whether to invest in the Company. If you have any questions about the desirability of, or procedure for, investing in the Company please contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent adviser.

1.13

Escrow arrangements

ASX will classify certain existing Securities on issue in the Company as being subject to the restricted securities provisions of the Listing Rules. Restricted securities would be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months and would not be able to be sold, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred for that period without the prior approval of ASX. During the period in which these Shares are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of their Shares in a timely manner.

None of the Shares issued pursuant to the Offers are expected to be restricted securities.

As at the date of this Prospectus the Company expects approximately 10,000,000 Shares, 3,350,000 Options and 3,000,000 Performance Rights will be subject to 24 months escrow from the date of quotation.

The Company anticipates that the number of Shares classified as restricted securities by ASX will be approximately 28.57% of the Company's issued share capital on an undiluted basis, and approximately 24.18% on a fully diluted basis (assuming all Options and Performance Rights vest and are exercised and that no other Shares are issued).

Prior to the Company's Shares being admitted to quotation on the ASX, the Company will enter into escrow agreements with certain recipients of the restricted securities in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, and the Company will announce to ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares required to be held in escrow.

2.4 Overview of the Projects

Byro East Project

The Byro East Project covers an area of 1,600km[2] and is located approximately 300km southeast of the township of Carnarvon in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The project comprises seven exploration licences, of which four licences are granted.

The Project is located in the Narryer Gneiss Complex in the northern most part of the Western Gneiss Terrane which forms the northwestern corner of the Yilgarn Craton consists of a highgrade metasedimentary rocks predominately quartzo feldspathic gneisses and migmatites with amphibolite’s quartzites, Banded Iron Formations (BIF), felsic volcanics and layered mafic ultramafic intrusions. The mafic intrusive’s vary from large well layered quartz gabbro to olivine cumulate to lenses of amphibolite.

The area has had a complex structural and metamorphic history, several major linear features have been mapped striking parallel to the craton margin with splay and link structures between the main faults evident.

Previous exploration work on the project has been restricted to regional scale stream sediment sampling, rock chip, limited soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. As set out in the Independent Geologist's Report, there does not appear to have been any drilling undertaken within the project area to date.

==> picture [343 x 285] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Byro East Project location map: Created by the Company, September 2021.

As the project sits on a craton margin, in a similar setting to the Nova-Bollinger and Julimar Deposits the Company believes the project has potential for mafic to ultramafic intrusive related

Page 29

nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation. The tenement package in part covers the eastern side of the Milly-Milly ultramafic intrusion where previous exploration has returned some indicators of nickel sulfides. The Company believes using available regional magnetics and geological survey mapping they can trace the intrusive under cover within their tenement.

Based on interpretation of available data Cosmos has identified four exploration prospects on the western side of the project area potentially associated with the Milly-Milly Intrusive which could be prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Past exploration has only been completed on the Dottyback Prospect which returned anomalous nickel copper in soil geochemistry. In addition, regional processing of aeromagnetic data has identified a number of magnetic signatures within the project area that could relate to mafic to ultramafic intrusive which Cosmos intends to test with further exploration.

Due to the complex structural setting of the project area there is also potential for structurally controlled gold mineralisation similar to other deposits within high metamorphic terranes within the Archean Western Australian goldfields.

RareX applied for the tenements comprising the Byro East Project (namely, means E09/2386, E09/2408, E09/2409, E09/2387) during the quarter ended 30 June 2020. Each of these applications has now been granted. The Byro East Project also includes one application (ELA09/2443) which remains pending.

Orange East Project

The Orange East Project covers an area of approximately 40km[2] , and is located approximately 200 km west of Sydney and 15 km south east of the regional center of Orange. Access and support services to the project are excellent. The project comprises a single granted exploration licence. The project covers freehold farmland. Cosmos will hold a 75 % interest in the project with the remaining 25% interest being retained by RareX and free carried by the Company until completion of a bankable feasibility study.

The project straddles the boundary between the Molong Arc and Hill End Trough within the Ordovician – Silurian aged Lachlan Fold Belt. The Molong Arc is dominated by ultramafic to andesitic volcanics and volcaniclastic sediments whilst the trough facies include siltstones, sandstones mudstones, limestones and dacitic lavas. The north south striking Godolphin Fault, a major bounding structure between the Molong Arc on the west and Hill End Trough to the east as well as number of splay structures running off the main fault runs through the project. The project is in a major mineral province with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity of the project.

Based on past exploration work, Cosmos has identified several targets prospective for gold and copper mineralisation that are closely associated with the Godolphin Shear or splay structures of the shear. The Godolphin Shear is a major controlling structure on the 2.02 M oz McPhillamys Gold Deposit to the south of the project area.

Page 30

==> picture [389 x 276] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Orange East Project location map: Created by the Company, September 2021.

At the Carangara Prospect four target areas have been identified based on past soil geochemistry and drilling as well as remodelling of IP geophysical data. The targets area all within sediments that have been interpreted as belonging to the Anson Formation. At the Gunnarbee Prospect, a strong copper and gold in soil geochemical anomaly has been defined associated with the Lewis Ponds Fault zone within Anson Formation. The strong association of anomalous geochemistry within Anson Formation sediments adjacent to major regional structures is considered to be a setting analogous to the McPhillamys Deposit and warrants targeting drill testing. The project is on freehold farmland and approval from the landholders will be required to undertake the work.

(a) Tenements

A comprehensive summary of regional and local geology, historical mining and historical exploration pertaining to the Tenements is contained in the Independent Geologist Report in Annexure C. A comprehensive summary of the status of the Tenements can be found in the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B.

The Projects are located in Western Australia as shown in Figure 1 below.

Page 31

Figure 3: Project location map: Created by the Company, September 2021.

2.5 Business strategy/objectives of the Company

The Company believes that the proximal location of the Orange East Project on the boundary between the Molong Arc and Hill End Trough within the Ordovician – Silurian aged Lachlan Fold Belt (which is known to be a major mineral province with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity of the project) and the Byro East Project in the Narryer Gneiss Complex in the northern most part of the Western Gneiss Terrane which forms the north western corner of the Yilgarn Craton (which is a globally significant source of gold as well as base metals) presents a unique strategic opportunity to create a gold and nickel-copper, platinum group elements ( PGE ) and orogenic gold mineralisation company.

However, investors are cautioned that the Projects have no reported exploration targets, mineral resources or ore reserves, that the proximity of the Projects to nearby historical mineral occurrences is no guarantee that the Projects will be prospective for an economic reserve and that any similarities to targeting models is no guarantee that the Projects will hold a comparable mineral deposit.

Following Admission, the Company's project portfolio will consist of the Orange East Project and the Byro East Project (together, the Projects ). The Company's primary focus will be to drill, prove and classify these Projects to JORC Code standards in order to assess development options at the Projects.

Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits,

Page 32

and/or direct equity participation. The Board will assess the suitability of investment opportunities by utilising its experience in evaluating projects. There are uncertainties in the process of identifying and acquiring new and suitable projects. The Company confirms that it is not currently considering other acquisitions and that future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resources sector.

2.6

Proposed exploration budgets

The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the tables below from the proceeds of the Offers. It should be noted that the budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration undertaken. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Company's Projects and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. Subject to the above, the following budget takes into account the proposed expenses over the next 2 years to complete initial exploration of the Tenements. As budgeted below, the Company's exploration expenditure will exceed the expenditure requirements for each of the Tenements (see Annexure C for further details):

Total 1,925,300 1,318,500 3,243,800

At the date of this Prospectus, the Company confirms that it has entered into a number of access agreements across its Projects, which provides the Company with access to a sufficient portion of the Projects to satisfy the commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b) for its proposed exploration program and budget as set out above.

The Independent Geologist's Report states that, in the Independent Geologist's opinion, the Company's proposed exploration budget has been well thought out and should be sufficient to evaluate the properties at the level the Company has stated in this Prospectus.

The majority of the funds will be used to advance the Byro East Project, exploring for Julimar style Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Funds will be used to test four (4) prospects the Company has identified from its evaluation of available data and to commence regional exploration for other ultramafic – mafic intrusion targets within the Company’s extensive ground holding. Planned work includes use of airborne VTEM and aeromagnetic geophysical surveying to identify potential intrusive bodies under cover. New geophysical targets will be followed up by rock and/or soil sampling, ground geophysics and drill testing.

Within the Orange East Project, the Company intends to undertake diamond drilling and reverse circulation drill testing at the Carangara Prospect and the Gunnarbee Prospect. The Orange East Project is in a major mineral province, with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity. Based upon past exploration work, the Company has identified several targets that are prospective for gold (Au) and copper (Cu) mineralisation that are closely associated with the Godolphin Fault or splay structures off the fault. The Independent Geologist's Report states that the Orange East Project is regarded as an advanced exploration project.

2.7

Dividend policy

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing businesses.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon matters such as the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances are given in relation to the payment of dividends, or that any dividends may attach franking credits.

3. Risk Factors

As with any securities investment, there are risks involved. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

3.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Exploration and development risks

The Orange East Project lies on the boundary between the Molong Arc and Hill End Trough within the Ordovician – Silurian aged Lachlan Fold Belt (which is known to be a major mineral province with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity of the project) and the Byro East Project is located in the Narryer Gneiss Complex in the northern most part of the Western Gneiss Terrane which forms the north western corner of the Yilgarn Craton (which is a globally significant source of gold as well as base metals).

However, no historical mineral occurrences have been recorded on the Orange East Project or the Byro East Project and the Projects have no reported exploration targets, mineral resources or ore reserves.

Investors are cautioned that the proximity of the Projects to nearby known historical mineral occurrences is no guarantee that the Projects will be prospective for an economic reserve.

Investors are cautioned that while the Company believes the Projects are prospective for gold and nickel-copper, PGE and orogenic gold mineralisation, as set out in the Independent Geologist's Report, it is likely, based on industry accepted statistics, that no significant mineralisation will be located within the Projects. However, that does not preclude the Project from being prospective for small high value deposits.

Further, the reliability of the historical exploration reports used to produce the Independent Geologist's Report in this regard is limited as its accuracy and quality, including accuracy of location of observations, drillholes and sample points, sampling methodology, laboratory techniques and quality assurance and is not always detailed within the historical exploration reports. The inability to properly validate historical data, included in the Independent Geologist's Report, and upon which future exploration decisions will be made increases the overall risk of the exploration process. However, the Company does not consider that this is a material risk to its planned exploration as the Independent Geologist has reviewed and reported on the results in accordance with the JORC Code as set out in the Independent Geologist's Report, which indicates that the historical sampling and logging was performed to a standard sufficient for planning exploration programs and generating target's for investigation.

The prospects of the Tenements must be considered in light of the considerable risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of exploration and development activities and, accordingly, carries significant exploration risk.

Page 35

Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration and development will result in the discovery of further mineral deposits. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

(b) Limited history

The Company was incorporated on 22 March 2021 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.

(c)

Contractual risk

As at the date of this Prospectus, completion of the Demerger Implementation Deed has not yet occurred and is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent, including RareX obtaining shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.4 for the sale of the Spin-out Assets to the Company (refer to Section 6.2 for further details).

If completion of the Demerger Implementation Deed does not occur, the Company will not acquire the Spin-Out Assets, the Offers will not proceed and the Company will not be Admitted.

The Sale Agreement incorporates the JV Terms pursuant to which, from Completion of the Demerger Implementation Deed (and Sale Agreement), the Orange East Joint Venture will be formed between Cosmos and RareX. The JV Terms provide only the key operating provisions for a joint venture agreement, are not comprehensive and do not purport to cover all of the requirements normally contained in a joint venture agreement. Until such time as a formal joint venture agreement can be negotiated between the parties in accordance with the Sale Agreement (further details in respect of which are set out in Section 6.2), there is a heightened risk that disputes may arise between the JV Parties which may have adverse financial impacts on the Company or cause delays in the development of the East Orange Project. While the Company intends to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement with RareX, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement on terms favourable to the Company, or at all.

The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties of their obligations under certain agreements. If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.

If the Company enters into agreements with third parties for the acquisition or divestment of equity interests in mineral exploration and mining projects there are no guarantees that any such contractual obligations will be satisfied in part or in full.

Page 36

(d) Conditionality of the Offers

The obligation of the Company to issue the Securities under the Offers is conditional on certain conditions being satisfied, including ASX granting approval for Admission to the Official List. If this condition is not satisfied, the Company will not proceed with the Offers. Failure to complete the Offers may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

(e) Future capital requirements

The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offers should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.

In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities or the registering of security interests over the Company's assets.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Tenements being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.

(f) New projects and acquisitions

Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.

The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is

Page 37

not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.

3.2 Mining Industry Risks

(a) Title and grant risk

As at the date of this Prospectus, ELA09/2443, ELA09/2525 and ELA09/2527 ( Pending Tenements ), which comprise three of the seven Tenements within the Byro East Project are pending applications which must be granted to the Company, in respect of ELA09/2525 and ELA09/2527, and to RareX (and then transferred to the Company) in respect of ELA 09/2443, before the Company may undertake mineral exploration on them. Accordingly, there is a risk that these applications may not be granted in their entirety or may be granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company.

If the Pending Tenements are not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in these tenements. Unless and until these tenements are granted (and in the case of ELA09/2443, transferred to the Company), the Company has limited rights in respect of those tenements. However, the Company is of the view that the Pending Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program.

Interests in all tenements in Western Australia and New South Wales are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the Tenements reduced or lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

(b)

Operating risk

There are significant risks in developing a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve economic production from any of the Tenements. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs 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 mining of its Projects. Unless and until the

Page 38

Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

  • (c)

Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:

  • (i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;

  • (ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and

  • (iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

(d)

Resource estimation risks

The Projects do not currently host an exploration target, mineral resource or reserve estimate. The Company has not yet undertaken any exploration programs over the Tenements.

Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. The calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(e)

Payment obligations

Pursuant to the terms of the Tenements comprising the Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects. Further details of these conditions and obligations are set out in section 6 and Schedule 1 of the Solicitor's Report.

(f)

Minerals and currency price volatility

The Company's ability to proceed with the development of its Projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control.

The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. These variables include world demand for minerals that may be mined

Page 39

commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, technological advancements, forward selling activities and production cost levels in major mineralproducing regions. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets, which could have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.

(g) Competition risk

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's Projects and business.

Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities or technical staff. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.

(h)

Native title risks

All of the Byro East Project Tenements wholly overlap one registered native title determination (being Wajarri Yamatji Part A) and one registered native title claim (Wajarri Yamatji #1). The Solicitor's Report searches in respect of the Orange East Tenement indicate that the Tenement does not overlap any native title claims or determinations.

There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements.

The existence of native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ).

However, if any Tenement was not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities. The Company has no reason to believe the Tenements were not validly granted.

Page 40

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

(i) Aboriginal Heritage Risk

The Company must comply with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of exploration and mining operations.

The Solicitor's Report searches demonstrate that Byro East Tenement E09/2387 overlaps with one 'other heritage place' and Byro East Tenement ELA09/2527 overlaps with one registered Aboriginal heritage site.

In respect to the Orange East Tenement, the Solicitor's Report searches indicate that one Aboriginal site is recorded on the tenement.

The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the locations of these sites do not interfere with the Company's proposed exploration activities.

There remains a risk that future heritage surveys may locate additional Aboriginal sites on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may further preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.

(j) Third party risks and access risks

Under Western Australian, New South Wales and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests which overlay areas within the Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements.

In respect to the Orange East Project Tenement, EL8442, the tenement overlaps parcels of private land and the Company is party to three exploration land access agreements which sets out the access and compensation requirements to affected private land owners.

Several of the Byro East Project Tenements overlap a File Notation Area. In respect to the File Notation Area, third party tenure and access rights may be granted in the future. All of the Byro East Project Tenements overlap pastoral leases and E09/2409, ELA09/2443 and ELA09/2525 overlap a small portion of two Crown Reserves. The existence of the Crown Reserves may in the future require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to progress with exploration and development activities on the Tenements.

Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights entering into applicable agreements, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. In addition, any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the Tenements.

Page 41

However, the Company currently has in place sufficient access agreements and regulatory approvals in place to access a sufficient portion of the Projects to satisfy the commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b) for its proposed exploration program and budget. Whilst the Company does not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned exploration, there is a risk that any delays in respect of conflicting thirdparty rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

(k)

Environmental risk

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.

Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.

Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.

Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities.

(l) Licences, permits and approvals

While the Pending Tenements have not yet been granted (further details in respect of which are set out in Section 3.2(a) and in the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B), the Company confirms that it holds all material authorisations required to undertake the exploration programs described in this Prospectus.

However, many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.

(m) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

Page 42

It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(n)

Conflicts of interest

Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.

3.3 General Risks

(a) Economic risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

(b)

Market conditions

The market price of the Shares 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.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

Page 43

Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c)

Force majeure

The Company's Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.

(d) Government and legal risk

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.

The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.

(e)

Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, 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 is not currently engaged in any litigation.

(f)

Insurance risks

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. 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. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

(g) Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Securities under this Prospectus.

Page 44

(h) Unforeseen expenditure risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

(i)

Climate change risks

Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:

  • (i) 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

  • (ii) 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.

  • (j)

Infectious diseases

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.

The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.

3.4

Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Page 45

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

Investors are urged to read the Independent Limited Assurance Report in full.

4.2

Forecast financial information

There are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues and expenses of the Company. In light of uncertainty as to timing and outcome of the Company's growth strategies and the general nature of the industry in which the Company will operate, as well as uncertain macro market and economic conditions in the Company's markets, the Company's performance in any future period cannot be reliably estimated. On these bases and after considering ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors do not believe they have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings and accordingly forecast financials are not included in this Prospectus.

5.9 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company's policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted the 4[th] edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).

In light of the Company's size and nature, the Board considers that the current Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed below. The Company's full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company's website at www.cosmosx.com.au .

(a) Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. Clearly articulating the division of responsibilities between the Board and management will help manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities.

In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:

  • (i) providing leadership and setting the strategic objectives of the Company;

Page 51

  • (ii) appointing and when necessary replacing the Executive Directors;

  • (iii) approving the appointment and when necessary replacement, of other senior executives;

  • (iv) undertaking appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a Director;

  • (v) overseeing management's implementation of the Company's strategic objectives and its performance generally;

  • (vi) approving operating budgets and major capital expenditure;

  • (vii) overseeing the integrity of the Company's accounting and corporate reporting systems including the external audit;

  • (viii) overseeing the Company's process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities;

  • (ix) ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within which the Board expects management to operate; and

  • (x) monitoring the effectiveness of the Company's governance practices.

The Company is committed to ensuring that appropriate checks are undertaken before the appointment of a Director and has in place written agreements with each Director which detail the terms of their appointment.

(b)

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. The Board currently consists of one Executive Chair and two Non-Executive Directors (none of whom the Company considers to be independent). As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the composition of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.

(c) Identification and management of risk

The Board's collective experience will assist in the identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

(d) Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

Page 52

(e) Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chair's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

(f) Remuneration arrangements

The remuneration of Executive Directors will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.

In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (eg non-cash performance incentives such as options).

Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the Company's remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company's size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.

The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.

(g) Securities trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (ie Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chair (or the Board in the case of the Chair) must be obtained prior to trading.

(h) Diversity policy

The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation's ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. This policy outlines the Company's diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company's progress in achieving them.

(i) Audit and risk

The Company will not have a separate audit or risk committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial

Page 53

reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company's internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.

(j) External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

(k) Social media policy

The Board has adopted a social media policy to regulate the use of social media by people associated with the Company or its subsidiaries to preserve the Company's reputation and integrity. The policy outlines requirements for compliance with confidentiality, governance, legal, privacy and regulatory parameters when using social media to conduct Company business.

(l) Whistleblower policy

The Board has adopted a whistleblower protection policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct including breaches of the Company's code of conduct can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or discriminatory treatment. The purpose of this policy is to promote responsible whistle blowing about issues where the interests of others, including the public, or of the organisation itself are at risk.

(m) Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy

The Board has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all business dealings. The Board has adopted an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy for the purpose of setting out the responsibilities in observing and upholding the Company's position on bribery and corruption provide information and guidance to those working for the Company on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.

Principles and Recommendations Explanation for Departures
Recommendation 2.1
The board of a listed entity should have a
nomination committee.
The Company will not have a separate
Nomination Committee until such time as
the Board is of sufficient size and structure,
and the Company’s operations are of a
sufficient magnitude for a separate
committee to be of benefit to the Company.

Page 54

Principles and Recommendations Explanation for Departures
In the meantime, the full Board will carry out
the duties that would ordinarily be assigned
to that committee under the written terms of
reference for that committee.
Recommendation 2.4
A majority of the board of a listed entity
should be independent directors.
The Company does not currently have any
independent directors on the Board.
This is not considered unreasonable due to
the current size and nature of the existing
Board and the magnitude of the Company’s
operations.
Recommendation 2.5
Chair should be an
Independent Director (and not
the CEO).
The Chair of the Company is not currently
considered an independent Director due to
his role as an executive with the Company.
The Board does not have an independent
Chair because, at this stage in the
Company's development, Jeremy Robinson
is considered best placed to fulfil this role.
The Board will, as necessary, consider the
appointment of an independent director who
can fulfil the role in the event the Chair is
conflicted.
Recommendation 4.1

audit committee of at least three members
that are non-executive.
The Board has not established a separate
audit committee. The full Board carries out
the duties that would ordinarily be assigned

not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of
such complexity to justify having a separate
audit committee.
Recommendations 7.1
The board of a listed entity should have a
risk committee.
The Board has not established a separate
Risk Management Committee. The Board is
ultimately responsible for risk oversight and
risk management. Discussions on the

considered by the Board.
The Board considers that the Company is
not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of
such complexity to justify having a separate
risk committee.
Recommendations 8.1
The board of a listed entity should have a
remuneration committee of at least three

The Board may obtain external advice from
independent consultants in determining the
Company's remuneration practices,

These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to the Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

  • (i) (Dividend and voting rights): The Options do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote at general meetings of the Company or to receive dividends.

Total 3,000,000
  • (c) ( Vesting Process ): Provided the Vesting Conditions are met, a vesting notification will be sent to the holder from the Board ( Vesting Notice ), informing them that some or all of the Performance Rights have vested. Unless and until the Vesting Notification is issued by the Company, the Performance Rights will not be considered to have vested.

Following the issue of the Vesting Notification for the Performance Rights, the holder will have until the Expiry Date of the Performance Rights to convert any vested Performance Rights. Any vested Performance Rights that remain unconverted after this date will automatically expire and lapse.

  • (d) ( Conversion of Vested Performance Rights ): Following the vesting of any Performance Rights the holder has until the Expiry Date to convert any such vested Performance Rights, at their election.

The holder may convert vested Performance Rights (in whole or if converted in part, multiples of 10,000 must be converted on each occasion) by lodging with the Company, on or prior to the Expiry Date a written notice of conversion of Performance Rights specifying the number of vested Performance Rights being converted ( Conversion Notice ).

Upon conversion, the holder will be issued and/or transferred one Share for each vested Performance Right.

  • (e) ( Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on conversion ): As soon as practicable after the valid conversion of a vested Performance Right, the Company will:

Page 66

  • (i) issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to the holder the number of Shares to which the holder is entitled;

  • (ii) issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unconverted Performance Rights held by the holder;

  • (iii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act; and

  • (iv) in the event the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, do all such acts, matters and things to obtain the grant of quotation of the Shares by ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules.

All Shares issued upon the conversion of Performance Rights will upon issue rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares.

  • (f) ( Restrictions on transfer or disposal of Shares ): If the Company is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on conversion of the Performance Rights may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

Except as set out in the Company's share trading policy and applicable laws, no other specific disposal restrictions apply to any Shares that are issued or transferred as a result of the conversion of the Performance Rights.

  • (g) ( Shares issued on exercise ): All Shares issued upon exercise of Performance Rights will upon issue rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (h) ( Expiry Date of Performance Rights ): All unvested, or vested but unexercised, Performance Rights will expire automatically at 5.00pm WST on the date which is 3 years from their date of issue unless an earlier lapsing date applies (as set out below).

  • (i) ( Lapse of Performance Rights ): Where the holder becomes a leaver, all unvested Performance Rights will automatically be forfeited and lapse, subject to any determination otherwise by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may take into account the holder's longevity in the role and the reasons for leaving. For example, the Board may, at its sole and absolute discretion, determine that unvested performance right vest upon the holder becoming a leaver due to their role being made redundant, where the other vesting conditions have been met.

Where, in the opinion of the Board, the holder:

  • (i) acts fraudulently, or dishonestly;

  • (ii) wilfully breaches their duties to the Company;

  • (iii) is responsible for: material financial misstatements; major negligence; significant legal, regulatory and/or policy non-compliance; or a significant harmful act,

Page 67

then the Board may, at its sole and absolute discretion, deem some or all of the unvested, or vested but unconverted, Performance Rights to be forfeited and to have lapsed.

Unless the Board otherwise determines in its sole and absolute discretion, unvested Performance Rights will lapse in accordance with the Rules, which includes (without limitation):

  • (i) if the Vesting Conditions applicable to that Performance Right are not achieved by the relevant time;

  • (ii) if the Board determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any Vesting Condition applicable to that Performance Right has not been met and cannot be met prior to the Expiry Date; or

  • (iii) if the holder becomes Insolvent.

  • (j) ( Transfer of Performance Rights ): The Performance Rights are not transferable unless they have vested and then only with the prior written approval of the Board and subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (k) ( Quotation of Performance Rights ): No application for quotation of the Performance Rights will be made by the Company.

  • (l) ( Change of control ): In the event that a Change of Control Event occurs or the Board determines that either such an event is likely to occur before the Vesting Conditions are met, the Board will have a discretion whether to allow the vesting of the Performance Rights and on what terms. When determining the vesting of the Performance Rights, the Directors will take into consideration a number of criteria, but in particular the value to shareholders as a result of the event.

  • (m) ( Participation in entitlements and bonus issues ): Subject always to the rights under items (n) and (o), the holder of the Performance Rights will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

  • (n) ( Adjustment for bonus issue ): If securities are issued pro-rata to shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends by way of dividend reinvestment), the number of Performance Rights to which the holder is entitled will be increased by that number of securities which the holder would have been entitled if the Performance Rights held by the holder were converted immediately prior to the record date of the bonus issue, and in any event in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules at the time of the bonus issue.

  • (o) ( Reorganisation of capital ): In the event that the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all the holder's rights as a holder of Performance Rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation provided that, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, following such reorganisation the holder's economic and other rights are not diminished or terminated.

  • (p) ( No Voting Rights ): The Performance Rights do not confer any right to vote, except as otherwise required by law.

Page 68

  • (q) ( No Dividend Rights ): The Performance Rights do not carry an entitlement to a dividend.

  • (r) ( No Return of Capital ): The Performance Rights do not permit the holder to participate in a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

  • (s) ( No Surplus Profit or Assets ): The Performance Rights do not permit the holder to participate in the surplus profit or asset of the Company upon winding up of the Company.

The following information is provided in respect of Guidance Note 19 of the Listing Rules:

  • (a) 1,000,000 Performance Rights were issued to each of Jeremy Robinson, Andrew Denniss and James Bahen (or their respective nominees), being an aggregate of 3,000,000 Performance Rights, in conjunction with the Offer and the Company's application for Admission. While the Performance Rights form part of Mr Robinson's, Mr Denniss' and Mr Bahen's remuneration, the Performance Rights are not "ordinary course of business remuneration securities".

  • (b) Mr Robinson is the Executive Chair, Mr Denniss is a Non-Executive Director and Mr Bahen is a Non-Executive Director and Joint Company Secretary.

  • (c) Each of Mr Robinson, Mr Denniss and Mr Bahen will assist the Company in meeting each of the Milestones as follows:

  • (i) Mr Robinson will assist in meeting the Milestones by managing the day to day performance of the business (being directly responsible for delivering against key performance indicators) and providing strategic leadership in further developing the Projects and overseeing the strategic direction of the Company. In addition, Mr Robinson will chair the Board, which is responsible for the strategic direction and control of the Company's business. The Board is charged with making decisions that will affect the performance of the Company, such as working towards satisfying the Milestones;

  • (ii) Mr Denniss will assist in meeting the Milestones by providing strategic leadership in further developing the Projects and overseeing the strategic direction of the Company; and

  • (iii) Mr Bahen will assist in meeting the Milestones by providing strategic leadership in further developing the Projects and overseeing the strategic direction of the Company.

  • (d) The remuneration payable to each of Mr Robinson, Mr Denniss and Mr Bahen is set out at Section 5.7.

  • (e) Other than the 3,000,000 Performance Rights issued to the Directors (or their nominees) on the terms set out in this Section 7.3, the Directors and their related entities do not hold any interests in Securities in the Company as at the date of this Prospectus.

  • (f) The Performance Rights are part of Mr Robinson's, Mr Dennis' and Mr Bahen's proposed remuneration package, which is designed to incentivise the long term performance of the Company. The Board considers it appropriate for a company of its

Page 69

size to have a portion of its Directors' remuneration "at risk". This form of at risk remuneration preserves cash and aligns the Directors' interests with the performance of the Company.

  • (g) In determining each of Mr Robinson's, Mr Dennis' and Mr Bahen's remuneration package, the Board (excluding in the case of their own remuneration packages) considered:

  • (i) the proposed role, position and responsibilities of Mr Robinson, Mr Dennis and Mr Bahen, respectively;

  • (ii) the Company's reliance on a limited number of personnel;

  • (iii) the need for the Company to effectively incentivise its Directors while aligning the incentives with increasing shareholder value; and

  • (iv) the terms of the long term incentives ( LTI ), including the nature of, and benefit to the Company of achieving, the LTI hurdles for the Performance Rights.

Each of Mr Robinson, Mr Dennis and Mr Bahen were required to negotiate their packages with the non-interested members of the Board on an arms' length basis and, accordingly, the Company considers the number of Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Directors to be appropriate and equitable.

  • (h) The Company considers that the Performance Rights are appropriate and equitable, including because there is an appropriate link between each Milestone and the purpose for which the Performance Rights were issued, as:

    • (i) consistent with Guidance Note 19, performance securities are sometimes issued to directors, senior managers or contractors as a means of incentivising them to achieve a particular performance milestone;

    • (ii) as stated above, the Performance Securities will be issued to the Directors as a means of incentivising performance; and

    • (iii) each Milestone is based on a sustained increase in the volume-weightedaverage-price of Shares above the Offer Price and therefore represents a reasonable target for the Company on readily ascertainable and verifiable metrics.

  • (i) The Performance Rights will convert into an aggregate of 3,000,000 Shares (comprising 1,000,000 Shares for each of the Directors) upon satisfaction of the Milestones and (assuming no other Shares are issued) will comprise approximately 8.6% of the Shares on issue.

  • 7.4 Summary of the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan

The Company's Employee Incentive Security Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on 9 September 2021. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours. A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below. It is intended that both the Executive and Non-Executive Directors will participate in the Plan.

Page 70

  • (a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an "eligible participant" (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

  • (b) ( Maximum allocation )

  • (i) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan where the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph 7.3(m) below) that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Plan Convertible Securities offered, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.

  • (ii) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of the Listing Rules is 4,000,000 ( ASX Limit ), meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder Approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Company by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (d) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • (e) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant

Page 71

number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

(g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

(h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

(i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

  • (k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested

Page 72

Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Company, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  • (l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  • (m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  • (n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share or Convertible Security is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, where a Plan Share or Convertible Security is issued in reliance on the Company satisfying the start-up company requirements in section 83A-33 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) ( Tax Act ), a legal or a beneficial interest in the Convertible Security may not be disposed of until the earlier of:

Page 73

  • (i) the Eligible Participant to whom the Convertible Securities were offered under an invitation becoming neither an employee nor a director of the Company;

  • (ii) three (3) years after the acquisition date of the Convertible Security;

  • (iii) a disposal under an arrangement which meets the requirements in section 83A-130 of the Tax Act;

  • (iv) such time as the Commissioner of Taxation allows in accordance with section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act; and

  • (v) the Board determines that the Commissioner of Taxation is reasonably likely to allow a disposal of the Convertible Security under section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act.

  • (o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  • (q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

  • (r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for

Page 74

any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

The Directors Cosmos Exploration Limited Unit 6, 94 Rokeby Road Subiaco WA 6008

Dear Directors

INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT

1. Introduction

BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ( ‘BDO’ ) has been engaged by Cosmos Exploration Limited ( ‘Cosmos’ or the ‘ Company ’) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report ( ‘Report’ ) in relation to certain financial information of Cosmos, for inclusion in a Prospectus ( ‘Prospectus’ ) in relation to the initial Public offering ( ‘IPO’ ) of shares in Cosmos.

Broadly, the Prospectus will offer up to 25,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to $5 million before costs (‘ the Offer ’).

Cosmos is an Australian company incorporated in Australia on 22 March 2021 by it’s parent Company RareX Limited ( ‘RareX’ ). On 23 August 2021 the Company and RareX entered into a Demerger Implementation Deed ( ‘DID’) and Tenement Sale Agreement (' TSA ') in relation to the spin-out and for the sale and purchase of a 100% interest in the Byro East Project and a 75% interest in the Orange East Project (together with associated mining information) (together the ‘Spin-out Assets’ ). The effect of the DID and TSA is that the Company acquires the Spin-out Assets for 10,000,000 shares to be issued to, and retained by RareX. Upon completion of the DID and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ‘ASX’ ), the Company will own a 75% interest in the Orange East Project and 100% of the Byro East Project. RareX will retain a 25% interest in the Orange East project which will be free carried until completion of a bankable feasibility study.

Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this report. BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ( ‘BDO’ ) holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS Licence Number 316158) and our Financial Services Guide (‘ FSG ’) has been included in this report in the event you are a retail investor. Our FSG provides you with information on how to contact us, our services, remuneration, associations, and relationships.

BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 27 124 031 045 AFS Licence No 316158 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

2. Scope

You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.

The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001(Cth).

You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information (together the ‘Historical Financial Information’ ) of Cosmos included in the Prospectus:

  • the audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for Cosmos for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021; and

  • the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of Cosmos as at 30 June 2021.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the Company’s adopted accounting policies.

The Historical Financial Information of Cosmos has been extracted from the financial report for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021 which was audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ( ‘BDO Audit’ ) in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. BDO Audit issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report.

For the year ended 30 June 2021, BDO Audit included an emphasis of matter relating to the material uncertainty around the ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the audit opinion was not modified in respect of these matters.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

You have requested BDO to review the following pro forma historical financial information (the ‘Pro Forma Historical Financial Information’ ) of Cosmos included in the Prospectus:

  • the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of Cosmos, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described in Section 6 of this Report and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 7 of this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the event(s) or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 7 of this Report, as if those event(s) or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.

3

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by Cosmos to illustrate the impact of the event(s) or transactions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Report on Cosmos’ financial position as at 30 June 2021. As part of this process, information about Cosmos’ financial position has been extracted from the Company’s audited financial statements for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021.

3. Directors’ responsibility

The Directors of Cosmos are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

4. Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .

Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

5. Conclusion

Historical Financial Information

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:

  • the audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for Cosmos for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2021; and

  • the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of Cosmos as at 30 June 2021,

is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.

4

Pro Forma Historical Financial information

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:

  • the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position of Cosmos as at 30 June 2021,

is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.

6. Subsequent events

Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of Cosmos, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

7. Assumptions adopted in compiling the pro-forma statement of financial position

The pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position is shown in Appendix 1. This has been prepared based on the financial statements of Cosmos as at 30 June 2021, the subsequent events set out in Section 6, and the following transactions and events relating to the issue of Shares under the Prospectus:

  • The issue of 25,000,000 Shares at an offer price of $0.20 each to raise $5 million before costs pursuant to the Prospectus;

  • Subject to and conditional on the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Demerger Implementation Deed, the Company will issue to RareX 10,000,000 Shares for the purchase of 75% interest in the Orange East Project, and 100% of the Byro East Project, reimburse RareX $30,000 for expenditure incurred on the Byro East Project tenements, and reimburse RareX $50,000 for expenditure incurred on the Orange East Project tenements.

The acquisition of the legal and beneficial interests in the Byro East Project and Orange East Project has not been deemed to be a business combination as they fall outside the scope of AASB 3 Business Combinations . Deferred exploration expenditure is estimated to be $2,000,000. Total reimbursement of $30,000 and $50,000 on the respective tenements have been treated as liabilities with an increase to equity of $1,920,000 under the raise;

  • Cash repayment of $30,000 and $50,000 on the respective tenements to RareX following the acquisition of the legal and beneficial interests in the Byro East Project and Orange East Project;

  • Cash repayment of approximately $100,000 to RareX for an amount equal to approximately 50% of the IPO costs expected to be incurred by the parent entity;

  • Cash costs of the Offer are estimated to be approximately $437,103. The costs directly attributable to the capital raising being $340,519, are offset against contributed equity, with the remaining costs of the Offer expensed through accumulated losses.

  • The Company will issue 1,250,000 Lead Manager Options ( ‘Lead Manager Options’ ), 1,750,000 Corporate Advisor Options ( ‘Corporate Advisor Options’ ), and 350,000

5

Exploration Manager Options ( ‘Exploration Manager Options’ ) (together the ‘ Options’ ) exercisable at $0.25 with an expiry date that is 3 years from the Admission Date. The Lead Manager Options, Corporate Advisor Options, and Exploration Manager Options have been valued at $155,303, $217,424 and $43,485 respectively using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The issue of Options is reflected in the pro forma statement of financial position by an increase in reserves and accumulated losses; and

  • The Company proposes to have 3,000,000 Performance Rights on issue to the Directors. There are milestone conditions which must be achieved in order for the Performance Rights to vest. These milestone conditions are detailed in section 7.3 of the Prospectus and are also included under note 6 to our Report.

In accordance with AASB 2: Share based payment , the value of the Performance Rights are to be expensed over the vesting period. Therefore, as at the pro forma date, no adjustment has been made to account for the vesting of these Performance Rights.

8. Independence

BDO is a member of BDO International Ltd. BDO does not have any interest in the outcome of the Proposed IPO other than in connection with the preparation of this Report and participation in due diligence procedures, for which professional fees will be received. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd is the auditor of Cosmos for which normal professional fees are received.

9. Disclosures

This Report has been prepared, and included in the Prospectus, to provide investors with general information only and does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific investor. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice and potential investors should not make specific investment decisions in reliance on the information contained in this Report. Before acting or relying on any information, potential investors should consider whether it is appropriate for their objectives, financial situation or needs.

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 2 of this Report, which describes the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

BDO has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Prospectus in the form and context in which it is included. At the date of this Report this consent has not been withdrawn. However, BDO has not authorised the issue of the Prospectus. Accordingly, BDO makes no representation regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any other statements or material in or omissions from the Prospectus, except to the extent consented by BDO.

Yours faithfully

APPENDIX 4

COSMOS EXPLORATION LIMITED

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The company was incorporated on 22 March 2021 and this represents the first reporting period for the company. The financial report therefore does not include comparative information.

a) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

b) Basis of preparation of historical financial information

The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all the disclosure requirements of the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ AIFRS ’), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial information has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivatives and available-for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The carrying values of recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are adjusted to record changes in the fair value attributable to the risks that are being hedged. Non-current assets and disposal groups held-for-sale are measured at the lower of carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell.

c) Going Concern

The historical financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the fundraising under the Prospectus. The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the fundraising under the Prospectus be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

d) Reporting Basis and Conventions

The report is also prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

10

e) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, which has been identified by the Company as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of Directors.

The Company has identified its operating segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments, where the segments have similar characteristics. For the current reporting period, the Company’s sole activity was mineral exploration and resource development wholly within Australia, which is its only reportable segment.

The reportable segment is represented by the financial statements forming this financial report.

f) Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit (revenue) for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the period adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown as borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

h) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit loss.

11

i) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Company: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

k) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Company that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

l) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.

m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

12

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

n) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Acquisition Costs

Exploration expenditure is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as and when it is incurred and included as part of cash flows from operating activities. Exploration costs are only capitalised to the statement of financial position if they result from an acquisition. Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest which is abandoned are written off in the year in which the abandonment decision is made.

o) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Financial Assets

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial performance. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

p) Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument at the date at which they are granted when the fair value of goods and/or services cannot be determined. The fair value of options granted is measured using the BlackScholes option pricing model. The model uses assumptions and estimates as inputs.

13

p) Share-based payment transactions (cont.)

The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the year in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘ vesting date ’).The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting year has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date.

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a year represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the year. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of the modification.

Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The cost of equity-settled transactions with non-employees is measured by reference to the fair value of goods and services received unless this cannot be measured reliably, in which case the cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

q) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

r) Accounting estimates and judgements

In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made certain judgements or estimations which have an effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the company decides to exploit the related lease itself, or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

14

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options and performance rights are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Company proposes to have 3,000,000 Performance Rights on issue. There are milestone conditions which must be achieved in order for the Performance Rights to vest. In accordance with AASB 2: Share based payment , the value of the Performance Rights are to be expensed over the vesting period. Therefore, as at the pro forma date, no adjustment has been made to account for the vesting of these Performance Rights. The maximum value of the Performance Rights as at the pro-forma date is $0.20 per share, based on the Public Offer Price. This means

17

that the maximum value of the performance rights as at the pro-forma date is $600,000. If the above milestones are met there may be value accretion, meaning that the shares issued may have a value in excess of $0.20 per share at the time of vesting. However, there is currently insufficient grounds to assume that these vesting conditions will be achieved, therefore we have presented the maximum value of the performance rights as at the pro forma date for information purposes only.

The acquisition of the legal and beneficial interests in the Byro East Project and Orange East Project has not deemed to be a business combination as they fall outside the scope of AASB 3 Business Combinations . Deferred exploration expenditure is estimated to be $2,000,000. Total reimbursement of $30,000 and $50,000 on the respective tenements have been treated as liabilities with an increase to equity of $1,920,000 under the raise.

Annexure B Solicitor's Report

==> picture [199 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

15 September 2021

The Directors Cosmos Exploration Limited Unit 6 94 Rokeby Road Subiaco WA 6008

Dear Directors

Cosmos Exploration Limited Solicitor's Report – Mining Tenements

This report has been prepared for Cosmos Exploration Limited (ACN 648 890 126) ( Company ) for inclusion in the Company's prospectus ( Prospectus ) issued in connection with the Company's application for the admission of the ordinary shares of the Company to the Official List of the ASX.

  • (d) the conditions precedent to completion set out in the DID being satisfied or waived in accordance with that deed; and

Page 3

Doc ID 878223633/v3

  • (e) the assignment of RareX's rights and interest under any relevant third party agreements to the Company and any assignment requirements (such as third party consents) being obtained under the relevant third party agreement.

In particular:

  • (a) Ministerial consent is required to transfer the Orange East Tenement to the Company;

  • (b) Tenements E09/2386, E09/2408, E09/2409, E09/2387 are all still within their first year of grant and, accordingly, Ministerial consent will be required to be obtained in order to transfer these Tenements to the Company (or the transfer will happen on the first anniversary of grant for each Tenement); and

  • (c) Pending Tenement ELA09/2443 is subject to grant and, if granted, will require Ministerial consent to be transferred within the first 12 months of grant). Pursuant to the Tenement Sale Agreement,

Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is granted a licence to carry out exploration activities on the Byro East Tenements for the period until the Tenements are transferred to the Company by the parties obtaining Ministerial approval or on the first anniversary of grant for each of the Tenements.

For further information on the Tenement Sale Agreement, please refer to section 10 of this Report.

5.2 Grant

The Pending Tenements have not yet been granted. There is a risk that:

  • (a) the Pending Tenements may not be granted or there may be a delay to grant of the Pending Tenements; and/or

  • (b) the Pending Tenements may be granted over a lesser area than applied for or the Pending Tenements may be granted subject to non-standard conditions.

5.3 Native title

The existence of native title determinations or claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been or will be validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.

The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

For information on native title affecting the Tenements, please see sections 7.9 and 7.10 for details.

Doc ID 878223633/v3

5.4 Aboriginal Heritage

The Searches indicate that there is one registered Aboriginal heritage site within Cosmos Tenement ELA09/2527 and NSW EL8442 and one application for an 'other' Aboriginal heritage place which has been lodged within Byro East Tenement E09/2387. Please see sections 8.6 and 8.7 for further details.

However, there remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites or places may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements or cause delays in the progression of the development of a mine.

See section 8 below for further details.

5.5 Overlapping Tenure

Our Searches indicate that the Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements overlap with land that is the subject of other rights, including:

  • (a) a File Notation Area ( FNA ), the details of which are set out in section 9.1(a) of this Report;

  • (b) pastoral leases, (see section 9.1(b) for details); and

  • (c) certain 'C' Class Crown Reserves, the details of which are set out in section 9.1(c) of this Report.

Our Searches indicate that the Orange East Tenement overlaps several parcels of private land (see section 9.2(a) for details).

Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.

6.

Tenements

6.1 Western Australia (Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements)

The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the Tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the WA Mining Act which are relevant to the Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements.

  • (a) Exploration Licences

  • (i) Licence area and authority

The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploring for minerals with employees, contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient. An exploration licence will not be granted over land the subject of an existing mining tenement other than a miscellaneous licence.

Page 5

Doc ID 878223633/v3

(ii) Term and extension

Exploration licences are granted for a term of 5 years. The WA Minister has discretion to extend the exploration licence for one further period of 5 years and then by further 2 year periods if satisfied that a prescribed ground for extension exists.

(iii) Other conditions

Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and observance of Aboriginal heritage, environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.

(iv) Relinquishment requirement

Exploration licences of more than 10 blocks applied for after 10 February 2006 are subject to a requirement that the holder relinquishes 40% of the tenement area at the end of the sixth year that the licence is held. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the exploration licence liable to forfeiture.

(v) Retention status

The holder of an exploration licence applied for after 10 February 2006 may apply for retention status for the exploration licence. The WA Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is approved, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years, however, the WA Minister has the right to impose a programmed of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.

(vi) Transfer during first year

During the first year of grant of an exploration licence, a legal or equitable interest in or affecting the exploration licence cannot be transferred or otherwise dealt with, whether directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the WA Minister. Exploration licences can otherwise be transferred without the requirement to obtain the consent of the WA Minister.

(vii) Right to apply for mining lease

The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the

Page 6

Doc ID 878223633/v3

exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.

  • (viii) Rent and expenditure requirements

Annual rent is payable for an exploration licence and the holder of an exploration licence must comply with the prescribed minimum expenditure conditions unless the holder has been granted an exemption (in whole or part) from those conditions by the WA Minister. An exemption to the minimum expenditure conditions will only be granted on certain grounds set out in the WA Mining Act or at the discretion of the WA Minister. A failure to comply with expenditure requirements, unless an exemption is granted, renders the exploration licence liable to forfeiture or the WA Minister imposing a monetary penalty as an alternative.

(b) Mining Leases

  • (i) Application

  • (A) Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The WA Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.

  • (B) The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a "mineralisation report" indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report" will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.

  • (ii) Rights

The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.

(iii) Term and transfer

A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant. The consent of the WA Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.

  • (iv) Conditions

Page 7

Doc ID 878223633/v3

Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. For the purpose of this Report, we have only summarised material conditions and endorsements relating to the Byro East Tenements in Schedule 2.

(v) Royalty

A royalty is payable to the State of Western Australia in relation to minerals obtained from the land that is the subject of a mining lease granted under the WA Mining Act. In Western Australia, there are two systems used to collect mineral royalties:

  • (A) specific rate - calculated as a flat rate per tonne produced and generally applies under legislation to low value construction and industrial minerals. The rates on production between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2025 are 73 cents per tonne and 117 cents per tonne; and

  • (B) ad valorem - calculated as a percentage of the 'royalty value' of the mineral, which applies under the Mining Regulations. The royalty value is broadly calculated as the quantity of the mineral in the form in which it is first sold, multiplied by the price in that form, minus any allowable deductions. The ad valorem royalty rate takes into account price fluctuations and material grades as follows:

  • (1) bulk material (subject to limited treatment) - 7.5% of the royalty value;

  • (2) concentrate material (subject to substantial enrichment through a concentration plant) - 5% of the royalty value; and

  • (3) metal - 2.5% of the royalty value.

(vi) Mining Rehabilitation Fund

The holders of all mining tenements, except those tenements covered by special agreements with the State of Western Australia not listed in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Regulations 2013 (WA), are required to participate in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund. This is a pooled fund to which Western Australian mining operators contribute and the money is used to rehabilitate abandoned mine sites in Western Australia. Tenement holders with an annual rehabilitation liability of $50,000 or less are not required to contribute.

Page 8

Doc ID 878223633/v3

6.2 New South Wales

The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the NSW Mining Act which are relevant to the Orange East Tenement.

(a) Exploration Licences

  • (i) Licence area and authority

An exploration licence gives the holder the exclusive right to explore for minerals over a specific area of land. The holder of an exploration licence may, in accordance with the conditions of the exploration licence and subject to the NSW Mining Act, conduct exploration activities on the land specified in the exploration licence for the group of minerals specified in the exploration licence.

An exploration licence does not permit mining, and an exploration licence holder will not necessarily be permitted to mine in the future if a discovery is made.

The size of an exploration licence will generally be defined as a list of 'map units' which are units contained within map blocks. A map 'unit' is approximately 3km in size.

  • (ii) Term, extensions and transfer

An exploration licence may be granted for up to of six years and may be extended by successive periods of up to six years, on application by the holder.

An exploration licence will not usually be renewed over more than half the number of units comprising the original exploration licence unless the NSW Minister is satisfied that special circumstances exist, including that the conditions of the exploration licence have been satisfactorily complied with, the full area of the exploration licence has been explored effectively, and the proposed program satisfactorily covers the full area to be renewed.

An exploration licence may be transferred to another person upon approval by the NSW Minister. In approving a transfer, the NSW Minister may impose amended or additional conditions on the holder of the exploration licence. Applications for exploration licences cannot be transferred.

  • (iii) Other conditions

An exploration licence will be granted subject to certain conditions that must be complied with, including commitments to meet the annual proposed work program, which requires the holder to carry out the operations, and any other activities described in the work program, including commitments in relation to the conduct of

Page 9

Doc ID 878223633/v3

operations specified in the work program, such as annual expenditure commitments, payment of government fees, and the requirement to lodge annual technical reports. Standard conditions include basic environmental and rehabilitation conditions and also stipulate that a tenement holder must obtain the consent of an officer of the DPIE prior to conducting any ground disturbing work.

Failure by the holder of an exploration licence to comply with these conditions may render the exploration licence liable to cancellation.

  • (iv) Rent and fees

Annual rent and an administrative levy are payable, based on the size of the exploration licence. A failure by the holder of the exploration licence to pay the annual rental fee or administration levy may result in the imposition of a fine.

  • (v) Work program

An application for an exploration licence must be accompanied by a proposed work program that sets out:

  • (A) the nature and extent of operations to be carried out on the area;

  • (B) the commitments and timing in respect to those operations; and

  • (C) any activities (such as community consultation and environmental management and rehabilitation) in connection with the proposed operations.

Upon grant of an exploration licence, as mentioned above, a condition will be imposed requiring the exploration licence holder to comply with the commitments set out in the work program.

(b) Mining Leases

  • (i) Application

Under the NSW Mining Act, a mining lease may only be applied for by the holder of an existing exploration licence (or assessment lease or mining lease) over that land or with the consent of the NSW Minister.

Applicants for a mining lease must:

  • (A) provide an assessment of the mineral bearing capacity of land in the area subject to the mining lease application and of the extent of any mineral deposits in that land;

Page 10

Doc ID 878223633/v3

  • (B) demonstrate that they have the financial and technical resources to carry out mining in a responsible manner; and

  • (C) be accompanied by a proposed work program which sets out:

  • (1) the nature and extent of operations to be carried out on the area;

  • (2) the commitments and timing in respect to those operations; and

  • (3) any activities (such as community consultation and environmental management and rehabilitation) in connection with the proposed operations.

  • (D) provide a current development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW) in respect of the carrying out of the activities and operations on the land the subject of the mining lease.

(ii) Rights conferred by a mining lease

A mining lease gives the holder the exclusive right to mine for minerals over a specific area of land. The holder of a mining lease may, in accordance with the conditions imposed on the grant of the mining lease and subject to the NSW Mining Act, conduct mining operations on the land.

  • (iii) Conditions of mining lease

A mining lease is subject to such conditions as the NSW Minister may impose when the mining lease is granted, including commitments to meet the annual proposed work program, which requires the holder to carry out the operations, and any other activities described in the work program, including annual expenditure commitments. Any failure by the holder of a mining lease to comply with the conditions imposed on the mining lease may render the mining lease liable to cancellation.

  • (iv) Term of mining lease and transfer

A mining lease remains in force for a maximum period of 21 years or such longer period as may be determined by the NSW Minister.

The holder of a mining lease may apply for approval NSW Minister of the transfer of the mining lease. Upon review of the application, the NSW Minister may approve the transfer in accordance with the application or refuse the application. In approving a transfer, the Minister may impose amended or additional conditions on the holder of the mining lease.

Page 11

Doc ID 878223633/v3

(v) Rent and fees

Rent and an administrative levy are payable on an annual basis, based on the size of the mining lease.

(vi) Royalty

The holder of a mining lease is liable to pay a royalty to the Crown on publicly owned minerals recovered by the holder under the mining lease, and in the case of privately owned minerals recovered from the mining area, the holder is liable to pay a royalty to the Crown as if those minerals were publicly owned.

Royalties are payable on a quarterly basis and are required to be accompanied by a royalty return in the approved form. Royalty rates for Group 1 Minerals, comprising metallic minerals, are generally 4% of the value of the mineral recovered.

(vii) Rehabilitation

As of 2 July 2021, new standard rehabilitation conditions were introduced which will apply to all new mining lease granted on and from this date.

For mining leases that were in force before this date, the conditions apply for 'large mines' from 2 July 2022 and for 'small mines from on 2 July 2023. These new rehabilitation conditions will replace existing rehabilitation and environmental management conditions on current leases.

The conditions support best practice mine site rehabilitation by ensuring progressive rehabilitation occurs in a manner that achieves sustainable final land uses following the completion of mining.

7. Native title

7.1 General

  • (a) On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia held in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 that the common law of Australia recognises a form of native title. The Native Title Act came into effect on 1 January 1994, largely in response to the decision in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1.

  • (b) The law in Australia recognises that Aboriginal people may hold native title rights and interests in respect of their land. Native title exists where Aboriginal people have maintained a traditional connection to their land and waters, provided it has not been extinguished.

  • (c) The grant of a mining tenement also creates rights in respect of land. Those mining tenement rights may affect (ie be inconsistent with) certain native title rights and interests. As a general statement, those mining tenement rights

Page 12

Doc ID 878223633/v3

will be invalid as against any native title rights, unless made valid by certain procedures in the Native Title Act.

7.2 Native title claims

  • (a) The Native Title Act sets out a process by which Aboriginal people may seek a determination by the Federal Court that they hold native title rights and interests. Whilst the Federal Court is assessing the claimed native title rights and interests, a Registrar of the NNTT will assess whether the native title claim meets certain registration requirements set out in the Native Title Act, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims ( RNTC ). If the Federal Court determines that the claimed native rights and interests exist, details of the determined native title claim (and the determined native title rights held) are then entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).

  • (b) If a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR, the Native Title Act provides the claimants / holders with certain rights, including procedural rights where a 'future act' is proposed. An example of a 'future act' is the grant of a mining tenement.

  • (c) The Native Title Act sets out when 'acts' will be 'valid' in the event they affect (ie are inconsistent with) native title, however, this process need only apply where native title exists (a determined native title claim entered on the NNTR) or is claimed to exist (a native title claim entered on the RNTC). The 'acts' can be a proposed activity or development on land and waters. A common example is the proposed grants of mining tenements.

7.3 'Past Acts' (ie grants of mining tenements): Prior to 1 January 1994

The Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain 'acts' which were done before 1 January 1994. In Western Australia, that legislation is the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA) and in New South Wales, that legislation is the Native Title (New South Wales) Act 1994 (NSW). Both legislation provides that all 'acts' (eg grants of mining tenements) prior to 1 January 1994 are valid to the extent they affect native title.

7.4 'Future Acts' (ie proposed grants of mining tenements): After 1 January 1994

  • (a) Generally, a 'future act' is an 'act' (eg grant of mining tenement) occurring after 1 January 1994 which affects native title.

  • (b) The Native Title Act sets out the circumstances in which, and procedures by which, 'future acts' will be valid should that 'act' affect native title.

  • (c) Such circumstances include if the 'act' was done in certain circumstances between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 (called 'Intermediate Period Acts'), or if the 'act' is permitted by an Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ), or if certain procedures are to be followed where a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR. Such procedures include the 'Right to Negotiate Procedure' and

Page 13

Doc ID 878223633/v3

the 'Expedited Procedure'. The key elements of these processes are outlined below.

7.5 Right to Negotiate Procedure

  • (a) Under the Right to Negotiate Procedure the native title party whose details are registered on the RNTC or NNTR, the applicant for the mining tenement and the relevant State or Territory (collectively, the Negotiation Parties ) are required to negotiate in good faith with a view to the native title party agreeing to the proposed future act.

  • (b) The scope of the negotiations includes any matters relating to the effect of the grant of the future act on the claimed or determined native title rights and interest. Where the future act is the proposed grant of an exploration or prospecting licence, usually an agreement is reached which aims to protect Aboriginal heritage. This is because exploration licences confer only limited rights to the registered holder of the licence, conferring rights to conduct exploration and disturb the land for that purpose.

  • (c) Where the future act is the proposed grant of a mining lease, the negotiations and resulting agreement are usually more complex, as the nature of rights granted for a mining lease contemplates substantial ground disturbance over a portion of the area granted. Such an agreement may address employment and training, environmental rehabilitation, Aboriginal heritage protection, cultural awareness and the payment of compensation.

  • (d) If the Negotiation Parties negotiate in good faith but cannot reach agreement as to the doing of the future act, then provided at least 6 months have elapsed since the S29 Notice, any party (in most cases the applicant for the mining tenement) may apply to the NNTT for a determination as to whether the future act may be done, and if so, on what conditions.

7.6

Expedited Procedure

  • (a) If the proposed future act (ie grant of the tenement) is not likely to interfere with the activities or sites of significance of the registered native title party or involved major disturbances to land or waters, a simplified process may apply (known as the Expedited Procedure ). A registered native title party may object to this process and, if it does, the NNTT must determine the validity of the objection (which may result in the Expedited Procedure not being able to be followed).

  • (b) Current Department policy is that it will process applications for exploration and prospecting licences through the Expedited Procedure once the applicant provides evidence by way of a statutory declaration / affidavit that a regional standard heritage agreement ( RSHA ) exists or has been signed by the proponent and sent to any affected registered Native Title Claimant ( NTC ) group (if any) or that an alternative heritage agreement exists between the NTC group and the explorer. If this cannot be demonstrated, the Right to Negotiate Procedure will apply.

7.7 ILUA

Page 14

Doc ID 878223633/v3

An ILUA is an agreement which has been authorised by the NTC group and has been registered with the NNTT. An ILUA binds the parties to the ILUA and also all persons holding native title to the relevant area that may not be a party. If an ILUA provides that any particular mining tenement(s) may be granted, then the relevant mining tenement(s) may be granted as provided for by the ILUA, generally without following other procedures, including the Right to Negotiate Procedure or the Expedited Procedure.

7.8 Compensation

In certain circumstances holders of native title (a determined native title claim that is registered on the NNTR) may be entitled to apply under the Native Title Act to the Federal Court for compensation for any effect on their native title. The NSW Mining Act and WA Mining Act provides that holders of mining tenements are liable for such compensation where awarded by reason of their mining tenements having affected native title. Consequently, if it has been, or is in the future, determined that native title exists over any of the land the subject of a mining tenement (or granted future act) and the holders of the native title apply to the Federal Court for compensation, the holder of the tenement may be liable and directed to pay any compensation determined.

7.9 Native title claims and determinations affecting the Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements

The NNTT Searches in respect of the Tenements indicate that all of the Tenements wholly (100%) lie within:

  • (a) the registered native title determination of Wajarri Yamatji Part A (NNTT file number WCD2017/007, Federal Court file number WAD6033/1998). This claim was determined on 19 October 2017 and came into effect on 29 July 2021; and

  • (b) the registered native title claim of Wajarri Yamatji #1 (NNTT file number WC2004/010, Federal Court file number WAD28/2019). This claim was filed on 21 December 2004 and registered on 5 December 2005.

The existence of any native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights and interests of the holder under the Tenements provided they have been validly granted.

However, the grant of any future tenure over areas that are covered by a registered claim or a positive determination of native title will require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.

Pursuant to the Native Title Act, a NTC application cannot be determined for an area over which there is already an approved determination of native title (which is the case for the Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements as the Wajarri Yamatji #1 claim overlaps the Wajarri Yamatji Part A determination).

Page 15

Doc ID 878223633/v3

However, the Company should note that, in very limited circumstances, an application may be made to vary or revoke an approved determination of native title determination over an area, but only the relevant RNTBC, the Commonwealth Minister, the relevant State or Territory Minister or the Native Title Registrar can make a revised native title determination application. Whilst a number of approved determinations of native title have been revised on applications made by the relevant RNTBCs, to date, no approved determination of native title is yet to be revoked.

7.10 Native title claims and determinations affecting the Orange East Tenement

The NNTT Searches in respect of the Orange East Tenement indicate that the Tenement does not overlap any native title claims or determinations.

In the event that a claim for native title is applied for over the area of the Orange East Tenement, the Company may be required to consult with the NTCs.

7.11 Indigenous Land Use Agreements

The Searches indicate that none of the Tenements overlap any ILUAs.

7.12 Compliance with the Validity of Tenements

With respect to the Tenements, we have assumed that, prior to grant, the Department was satisfied that the Native Title Act had been complied with. Provided that the Tenements are validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act, they will be valid as against native title rights and interests.

7.13 Native Title status of Pending Tenements

The table below summarises the current Native Title status and comments in relation to the Pending Tenements:

8. Aboriginal heritage

8.1 General

Page 16

Doc ID 878223633/v3

Aboriginal heritage is protected by both Commonwealth legislation as well as legislation in each State and Territory of Australia.

8.2

Commonwealth Legislation

The Commonwealth Heritage Act is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal objects that may be located on the Tenements.

Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.

It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.

We have not undertaken any searches in respect of the Commonwealth Heritage Act for the purposes of this Report.

8.3 Western Australian legislation

The provisions of the WA Heritage Act are endorsed on all tenements in Western Australia.

The WA Heritage Act protects all Aboriginal sites in Western Australia which meet the criteria in section 5 of the WA Heritage Act.

It is an offence under the WA Heritage Act to excavate, destroy, damage, conceal or in any way alter an Aboriginal site or any object on or under an Aboriginal site, unless the person or company is acting with the authority of the registrar or the consent of the relevant Minister. The offence applies regardless of whether the Aboriginal site has been entered on the Register of Aboriginal sites. It is a defence if the person (or company) charged can prove that he did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known, that the place or object was protected by the WA Heritage Act.

A holder of a Western Australian mining tenement has the legislative right to submit an application under the WA Heritage Act seeking approval to disturb or destroy an Aboriginal site.

8.4 Proposed Aboriginal Heritage Bill (Western Australia)

On 2 September 2020, the WA State Government released the draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill 2020 ( ACH Bill ) which is intended to replace the current WA Heritage Act. The ACH Bill proposes that proponents of resources projects will (depending on the type of activity to be carried out on the tenements) need to apply for an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Permit or obtain approval of an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

The ACH Bill also establishes an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Council, with broader functions, intended to replace the current Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee,

Page 17

Doc ID 878223633/v3

introduces a 'tiered' approvals system and a 'continuous disclosure' obligation, gives broad ministerial powers to issue orders to stop activities, prohibit activities or enforce remediation, and imposes harsher penalties for carrying out activities which harm Aboriginal cultural heritage, failing to report on Aboriginal cultural heritage or non-compliance.

Public consultation on the ACH Bill closed on 9 October 2020 and around 157 submissions were received in relation to the ACH Bill, the vast majority of which did not support the ACH Bill. Further changes have been made to the draft ACH Bill, which we understand is intended to be introduced to Parliament before the end of the year.

8.5 New South Wales Legislation

The legislation governing Aboriginal heritage in New South Wales is the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW) ( NSW Heritage Act ).

Under the NSW Heritage Act land containing Aboriginal objects or sites may be reserved as an ‘Aboriginal area’ for the purpose of identifying, protecting and conserving such objects or sites. It is unlawful to prospect or mine for minerals in an Aboriginal area unless expressly authorised by an Act of Parliament or, among other things, an authority issued under the NSW Mining Act. Subject to this exception, the NSW Heritage Act excludes the application of the NSW Mining Act to lands in an Aboriginal area.

The NSW Heritage Act also authorises the NSW Minister to declare a place that is or was of special significance to Aboriginal culture to be an ‘Aboriginal place’ and makes it an offence knowingly to destroy, deface or damage, or knowingly to permit the destruction, defacement of or damage to, an Aboriginal object or ‘Aboriginal place’ without the consent of the Director ‐ General.

Tenement holders, landowners or land managers are encouraged, but not obliged, to prepare a management plan to guide the management of Aboriginal areas, objects or places.

8.6 Aboriginal sites and other heritage places on the Tenements (Western Australia)

The AHIS Searches of the Tenements identified one registered Aboriginal heritage site within Tenement ELA09/2527, as shown in the below table.

Registered Aboriginal Site Registered Aboriginal Site
Site ID Site name Status Type
12078 Mt Narryer Lunette Registered Site Artefacts / Scatter, Camp, Meeting

The other Aboriginal heritage place summarised above has been lodged but is not registered. As of the date of this Report, it has not been assessed to determine whether this place meets the criteria to be registered as an Aboriginal site or heritage place.

In respect to Aboriginal heritage sites, the AHIS search results do not mean that there are no other Aboriginal sites within the area of the Tenements. It is only an indication that no other Aboriginal sites have been registered in the area to date.

8.7 Heritage sites on the Orange East Tenement (New South Wales)

The AHIMS Search of NSW EL8442 indicates that one Aboriginal site is recorded on the tenement, however additional information on the site is not available.

8.8 Aboriginal heritage agreements affecting the Tenements

As discussed above at section 7.6, Department policy provides that applications for exploration licences will generally not be processed for grant through the Expedited Procedure unless the applicant for the licence provides evidence that an appropriate Aboriginal heritage agreement has been entered into with any affected registered NTC (if any).

Aboriginal heritage agreements will generally include a process of engagement between the parties to protect Aboriginal heritage. This process includes the undertaking of heritage surveys to identify Aboriginal site. A procedure is usually included for the parties to consider the proposed works on the tenements, and decide on the best course of action given any potential impacts the proposed works may have on Aboriginal sites.

The Company has advised that a heritage agreement dated 25 March 2021 has been entered into between RareX and the Wajarri Yamatji People Part A (Federal Court file number WAD6033/1998) in respect to Byro East Tenements E09/2386, E09/2408 and E09/2409. This agreement will be assigned to the Company in accordance with the Tenement Sale Agreement.

The entry into Aboriginal heritage agreements is not a requirement of the WA Heritage Act but is an industry standard means of managing the risk of contravention of the WA Heritage Act where there is a NTC or other claim group with a recognised connection to the relevant land.

There are no Aboriginal heritage agreements in place in respect to the Orange East Tenement.

9.1 Byro East Tenements and Cosmos Tenements (Western Australia)

(a) File Notation Areas

File Notation Areas ( FNAs ) are generally an indication of areas:

  • (i) where the Government has proposed some change of land tenure that is being considered or endorsed by the Western Australian Department for possible implementation; or

  • (ii) areas of some sensitivity to activities by the mineral resource industry that warrants the application of specific tenement conditions.

The existence of an FNA will not, of itself, prevent the grant of a tenement or preclude exploration or mining activities.

FNAs may relate to land in respect of which Ministerial approval is sought under section 16(3) of the WA Mining Act. Section 16(3) requires prior Ministerial approval be obtained for any Crown land that is in a mineral field to be leased, transferred in fee simple, or otherwise disposed of under the provisions of the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA).

The Searches indicates that the following Tenements are overlapped by one FNA as further detailed in the table below.

The WA Mining Act:

  • (i) generally prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;

  • (ii) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and

  • (iii) provides that a holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (i.e. the pastoral lease holder) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the

Page 21

Doc ID 878223633/v3

lessee as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities.

Compensation payable to a pastoral lease holder can be, and usually is, determined by agreement with the pastoral lease holder or by the Warden’s Court if no agreement can be reached.

(c)

Crown Reserves

Our Searches indicate that the land the subject of E09/2409, ELA09/2443 and ELA09/2525 overlap two Crown Reserves, as shown in the below table.

ID Tenement (%
overlap)
Description shown on Tengraph Search
R 9701 E09/2409 (3.31%)
ELA09/2443 (4.31%)
"C" Class Reserve - De Grey Mullewa Stock
Route
R 2048 ELA09/2525 (1.45%) "C" Class Reserve - Stopping place for
travellers and stock

A Crown Reserve refers to land set aside or “reserved” for a designated purpose (ie for parks, recreation, drainage or church sites) and is managed by the State of Western Australia or designated management authority/agency.

There are three different categories of Crown Reserves, with Class A having the highest form of protection, Class B having a medium form of protection and Class C, which forms the vast majority of reserves, having a lower level of protection.

The existence of a Crown Reserve may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to progress with exploration activities on the Tenements. In respect to the above Tenements (with the exception of ELA09/2443 and ELA09/2525, which have not yet been granted), although the encroachment on the various Crown Reserves is minimal, conditions have been imposed on E09/2409 which places certain restrictions on exploration activities on the reserves.

9.2 Orange East Tenement

(a) Private Land

The Orange East Tenement overlaps parcels of private land. Under the NSW Mining Act, the prior written consent from the owner of any dwelling that is a principal place of residence, garden or significant improvement must be obtained by the exploration licence holder before carrying out any exploration within 200 metres of the dwelling, and within 50 metres of the relevant garden or significant improvement.

Page 22

Doc ID 878223633/v3

The holder of an exploration licence has an obligation to pay compensation to the landholder of any land (including land not subject to the licence, ie land which may be adjacent to the licence) for any compensable loss suffered, or likely to be suffered, by the landholder as a result of the exercise of the rights conferred by the exploration licence or by an access arrangement in respect of the licence.

The amount of compensation payable may be agreed between the exploration licence holder and the landholder. However, any agreement reached is not valid unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the parties to the agreement.

The Company has advised that the following exploration land access agreements ( ELAA ) have been entered in to with the affected landholders in respect to activities over the land. The table below (see over page) sets out the applicable ELAAs:

Parties to the ELAA Date of
ELAA

  • (i) permitted paths of entry and gates to be used in order to access the to the Tenement;

  • (ii) contact landholders before accessing the portion of the Tenement which overlaps the private land; and

  • (iii) access restrictions and protocols are to be abided by in respect to the lambing season (generally between July to early September of each year).

Executive Summary

Cosmos Exploration Limited (“Cosmos”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of RareX Limited (“RareX”). The companies have entered into a Demerger Implementation Deed and Tenement Sale Agreement (“Demerger Agreement”) whereby Cosmos will acquire a 100% interest in the Byro East Project, located in Western Australia, and a 75% interest in the Orange East Project, located in New South Wales, as well as Cosmos pegging a number of leases in its own name in the Byro East area. Cosmos proposes to list on the securities market operated by the ASX Limited (“ASX”) in order to raise additional capital to be used in accordance with the use of funds set out in its initial public offering prospectus including to undertake further exploration work on the projects. Cosmos has engaged James Guy and Associates Pty Ltd (“JGA”) to prepare an Independent Geologist’s Report (“IGR”) on the mineral properties to be included in a prospectus for an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) to be lodged with the ASX. Cosmos proposes to issue 25,000,000 ordinary shares at 20 cents per share to raise $5,000,000 dollars before costs .

The IGR is a Technical Assessment Report prepared in accordance with the 2015 VALMIN Code and the 2012 JORC Code. Both codes are mandatory for all members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (“AIG”). The codes are also a requirement under the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) rules and guidelines, and the listing Rules of the ASX.

This report is not a valuation report and does not express an opinion as to the value of the mineral assets, or the reasonableness of any commercial transaction entered to acquire the minerals assets. Factors considered for the preparation of the report include geological setting, district scale mineral perspectivity results of past exploration on the properties and planned exploration. Social and environmental factors that have the potential to impact exploration access include native title, access to freehold land, and Crown Land Reserves. Cosmos has, or is, in the process of gaining the necessary agreements with other stake holders in order to conduct its planned exploration activities.

The effective date of this report is 17[th] September 2021

Byro East Project

The Byro East Project is located in Western Australia. The project covers an area of 1,600 km[2] and is located approximately 300 km south east of the township of Carnarvon in the Gascoyne region. The project comprises four granted exploration licences (“ELs”) and three ungranted Exploration Licences (“ELAs”). Following completion of the Tenement Sale Agreement (in accordance with the terms of the Demerger Implementation Deed), Cosmos will hold a 100% interest in the tenements held by RareX.

The Project is located in the Narryer Terrane which forms the north western corner of the Yilgarn Craton. Geology consists of a high-grade metasedimentary rock predominately quartzo feldspathic gneisses and migmatites with amphibolite’s quartzites, Banded Iron Formations (BIF), felsic volcanics and layered mafic- ultramafic intrusions. The mafic-ultramafic intrusive’s vary from large well layered quartz gabbro to olivine cumulate; to lenses of amphibolite.

Page | 5

The area has had a complex structural and metamorphic history. Several major linear features have been mapped striking parallel to the craton margin, with splay and link structures between the main faults evident.

Previous exploration work on the project has been restricted to regional scale geological mapping, stream sediment sampling, rock chip sampling, limited soil sampling and ground geophysical surveys. There does not appear to have been any drilling undertaken within the project area to date.

As the project sits on a craton margin, it is in a similar setting to the Nova -Bollinger and Julimar Deposits. Cosmos believes the project has potential for mafic-ultramafic intrusion related nickel (Ni)-copper (Cu)and platinum group elements (‘PGE”) mineralisation. The tenement package is immediately east of the Milly-Milly ultramafic intrusion where previous exploration has returned some indicators of Ni sulphides. Using available regional magnetics data and other geological survey mapping, Cosmos believes they can trace other mafic-ultramafic intrusions under cover within the tenement areas.

Based on interpretation of available data, Cosmos has identified four (4) exploration prospects on the western side of the project which are potentially associated with the Milly-Milly Intrusive and which could be prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Past exploration on the Dottyback Prospect returned anomalous Ni-Cu soil geochemistry. In addition, regional processing of aeromagnetic data has identified a number of magnetic signatures within the project area that could relate to mafic to ultramafic intrusive’s which Cosmos intends to test with further exploration.

Due to the complex tectonic setting the project area, there is also potential for structurally controlled gold mineralisation similar to other deposits within high metamorphic terranes of the Archean age Western Australian goldfields.

The Byro East Project is regarded as an Early-Stage Exploration Project.

Orange East Project

The Orange East Project is located in New South Wales. The project covers an area of approximately 40 km[2] and is located approximately 200 km west of Sydney and 15 km south east of the regional center of Orange. Access and support services to the project are excellent. The project comprises a single granted exploration licence (EL). The project occurs in freehold farmland. Following completion of the Tenement Sale Agreement (in accordance with the Demerger Implementation Deed) Cosmos will hold a 75 % interest in the project with the remaining 25% being retained by RareX to be free carried until completion of a bankable feasibility study.

The project straddles the boundary between the Molong Arc and Hill End Trough within the Ordovician – Silurian aged Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”). The Molong Arc is dominated by ultramafic to andesitic volcanics and volcaniclastic sediments whilst the trough facies include siltstones, sandstones mudstones, limestones and dacitic lavas. The NW-SE striking Godolphin Fault, a major bounding structure that separates the Molong Arc (West) from the Hill End Trough (East), has a number of splay structures that

Page | 6

also run through the EL. The project is in a major mineral province, with a number of significant mines in operation or under development in the near vicinity.

Based upon past exploration work, Cosmos has identified several targets that are prospective for gold (Au) and copper (Cu) mineralisation that are closely associated with the Godolphin Fault or splay structures off the fault. The Godolphin Fault is a major controlling structure for the 2.02 Moz McPhillamys Gold Deposit, located to the south of the project.

At the Carangara Prospect, four (4) targets have been identified based on past soil geochemistry and drilling as well as new remodeling of IP geophysical data. The targets are within sediments that have been interpreted as belonging to the Anson Formation. At the Gunnarbee Prospect, a strong Cu-Au soil geochemical anomaly has been defined which is associated with the Lewis Ponds Fault zone and is within Anson Formation. The strong association of anomalous geochemistry within Anson Formation sediments adjacent to major regional structures is considered to be a setting analogous to the McPhillamys Deposit and, therefore, warrants drill testing. The project is on freehold farmland and approval from the landholders will be required to undertake planned work.

The Orange East Project is regarded as an Advanced Exploration Project.

Cosmos has prepared a plan, and two (2) year budget to complete further exploration across both projects.

The majority of the funds will be used to advance the Byro East Project, exploring for Julimar style Ni-Cu - PGE mineralisation. Funds will be used to test four (4) prospects the company has identified from its evaluation of available data and to commence regional exploration for other ultramafic – mafic intrusion targets within the company’s extensive ground holding. Planned work includes use of airborne VTEM and aeromagnetic geophysical surveying to identify potential intrusive bodies under cover. New geophysical targets will be followed up by rock and/or soil sampling, ground geophysics and drill testing.

Within the Orange East Project, the company intends to undertake diamond drilling (”DD”) and reverse circulation (“RC”) drill testing at the Carangara Prospect and the Gunnarbee Prospect.

The company’s exploration budget for the two (2) year period is $3,243,800, with $2,476,000 dedicated to the Byro East Project. In the Authors opinion the program prepared has been well thought out and should be sufficient to evaluate the properties at the level Cosmos has stated in the prospectus.

The company’s projects are both at an exploration stage and as such there is no certainty that the proposed exploration work will identify economic concentrations of mineralisation. Aside from the inherent risks associated with mineral exploration, other risk factors included Aboriginal heritage, access to freehold land and environmental considerations. Risk factors aforementioned could affect the company’s ability to adequately test targets in a manner it requires to access their potential.

The native title agreement will be assigned to Cosmos as a condition precedent to completion of the Tenement Sale Agreement. Investors are referred to the Independent Solicitors Report in Annexure B for details of the agreement.

2.1 Previous Mining and Exploration

There is no evidence of historical mining activity within the prospect area. Modern mineral exploration for chrome, nickel, copper, platinum, diamonds, iron ore, and gold has been conducted in the area since the late 1960’s by various companies. A summary of the significant exploration on the ground is presented below:

1969 Electrolytic Zinc Company

Exploration for chromite and Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. Work completed includes geological mapping, soil rock and laterite sampling, aeromagnetic surveying.

1971-1973 Jododex Australia Pty Ltd

Exploration targeted Ni-Cu and chromite mineralisation. Work completed includes gridding, geological mapping, rock and gossan sampling, soil and auger geochemistry, ground magnetics, IP and SP geophysical surveying .

Within the current project, systematic soil sampling was completed on a local grid along a 7 km strike of outcropping ultramafic units. The local imperial grid was established on 400’ x 100’ spacings with selective infill sampling on a 200’ x 50’ spacings. Samples were collected approximately 6” below the surface. The entire sample was analysed for Cu, Ni, Zn by AAS. A second phase of shallow auger sampling was completed over selected soil anomalies.

1996-2002 Redback Mining NL

Completed geological mapping, gossan analysis, ground IP and EM geophysical surveying.

1996-2007 Helix Resources Limited and Normandy Yandal Operation Joint Venture

Helix held ground covering parts of the eastern and western blocks of the Project. To the east, work focused on the Milly-Milly Prospect and included - 80# soil sampling analysed for Au, and stream sediment sampling analysed for Au, Pb, Zn, As, Mo, Ag and W. No significant results were returned. The ground was later joint ventured with Normandy who completed additional stream sediment sampling with no significant results.

2002-2006 Yilgarn Mining Pty Ltd

Yilgarn Mining explored the ground for Ni sulphide mineralisation. Work included the acquisition of detailed aeromagnetic and radiometric data, geological reconnaissance and gossan sampling, petrology, and ground EM geophysical surveying.

Page | 13

2005-2007 Mithril Resources Limited (JV with Yilgarn Mining)

Mithril held ground covering the Byro East Project which they explored for Ni sulphide mineralisation. Within the current project area, work was restricted to digitally capturing the Jododex soil sampling data and completing a small Geoferret EM geophysical survey over outcropping ultramafic units.

2009-2020 Complex Exploration Pty Ltd and Byro Exploration Pty Ltd Joint Venture

The joint venture (“JV”) held a large land position in the Narryer Terrane however the majority of the work focused on areas outside the current Project tenure.

2010-2012 Athena Resources Limited (JV with Complex Exploration and Byro Exploration Pty Ltd)

Athena targeted orthomagmatic Ni-Cu mineralisation They completed field reconnaissance, geological mapping and rock chip sampling, data compilation and review before withdrawing from the JV and surrendering the tenements.

2012-2015 Aurora Minerals Limited

Aurora held parts of the eastern tenement area. They explored for gold (Au), base metals, and iron ore mineralisation. Work included geological mapping, reprocessing of open file, and government geophysical data and satellite imagery, stream sediment, and rock chip sampling Samples were analysed for a multielement suite of elements. No significant results were returned.

Past exploration work has been fragmented and concentrated in selected areas depending on historical tenement boundaries and generally restricted to areas of out crop or sub crop. Historical sample spacing has been generally wide spaced with minimal follow up. This has resulted in large areas of the project having had minimal or no first pass exploration undertaken in the past which provides an opportunity for discovery of mineralisation .

In addition to the above historical activities, the Geological Survey of Western GSWA) undertook a program of regional geochemistry and regolith mapping over the Byro and Glenburgh 1:250,000 map sheets which cover part of the Byro East Project (Morris & Verren 2001, Sanders et al 1998). The nominal sample spacing was one sample per 16 sq km. In 2008, the GSWA flew a magnetic and radiometric survey over the Byro and south portion of the Glenburgh map sheets.

2.2 Regional Geology

The Byro East Project is located within the Narryer Terrane, a gneissic complex at the north-western corner of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 3). The project lies approximately 35 km south of the margin of the Errabiddy Shear Zone, which marks the collision between the Yilgarn Craton and the Glenburgh Terrane (Glenburgh Orogeny). Further deformation of this part of the Yilgarn Craton occurred during the latter Capricorn Orogeny). The Narryer Terrane contains some of the oldest rocks in the Yilgarn and is geological

Page | 14

distinct from the granite greenstone terranes to the south and east. The Yilgarn Craton is a globally significant source of gold as well as base metals.

The Narryer Terrane consists of a high-grade metasedimentary rock, predominately quartzo feldspathic gneisses and migmatites with amphibolite’s, quartzites, Banded Iron Formations (“BIFs”), felsic volcanics and layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions (Occhipinti et al 2001). The mafic intrusives vary from large well layered quartz gabbro’s to olivine cumulate, to lenses of amphibolite (Jordan 2011). The rocks have been metamorphosed to upper amphibolite to granulite facies, with greenschist retrograde metamorphism common (Williams et al 1983).

==> picture [382 x 432] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 Byro East Project Regional Geological Setting

Page | 15

The main deformation events within the Narryer Terrane are related to continental scale collisions. The first of these was the 2700-2650 Ma. collision between the Narryer and Murchison Terranes along the Yalgar Fault Zone which resulted in thrusting, granitoid intrusions and associated upright folding (Occhipinti et al 2001). Two (2) Paleoproterozoic orogenic events are recognised, 1) the 2000-1960 Ma Glenburgh Orogeny, along the Errabiddy Shear, which thrust the Glenburgh Terrane over the Narryer Terrane, and 2) the 1830-1780 Ma Capricorn Orogeny related to the collision between the Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons. Discrete shear zones cutting the north west margin of the Yilgarn Craton have been active throughout this time.

2.3 Local Geology

The western side of the Byro East Project area is predominately quartzo feldspathic gneiss and migmatites with amphibolite’s, quartzites, Banded Iron Formation (BIF), felsic volcanics and layered mafic ultramafic intrusions (figure 4). Large areas over the north and eastern licences are covered by Quaternary alluvium and eolian cover.

GSWA and company geological mapping shows a series of ultramafic bodies along the western boundary of the project. The larger ultramafic body (Milly-Milly intrusion) is a lens shaped body, roughly 6 km long by 1.4 km wide, which has intruded the metasediment gneiss. Compared to the Milly-Milly intrusion immediately to the west, ultramafic units on the Cosmos ground are thinner and less continuous units within the gneissic rocks. Geological mapping of the Milly-Milly Intrusion indicates the ultramafic units are relatively homogenous, medium-grained and serpentinised peridotite without gabbro in association. The age of these ultramafic bodies is unknown. Surrounding rocks are Archean age, however, as the ultramafic are intrusive, it is possible they could be younger, possibly equivalent to the Proterozoic age ultramafic bodes of the Gascoyne Orogen (McKinnon-Matthews 2007). The margins of the ultramafic are generally intensely sheared (Hayden 1998).

On the eastern side of the project area, the outcrop is more extensive with rock units trending in an east – west direction. The dominant rock types are quartz–grunerite (including meta-BIF), calc silicate and amphibolite serpentinite–actinolite–talc chlorite ultramafic, feldspar–quartz biotite gneiss and migmatite (Williams et al 1997). Remnant Tertiary laterite caps are preserved as low hills along the northern side of the tenement. Quaternary covers increase toward the south.

2.4 Nickel-Copper-PGE Mineralisation

Cosmos believe that the Byro East Project area is prospective for orthomagmatic Ni-Cu ±PGE mineralisation and orogenic gold (Au) mineralisation.

Orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE Mineralisation.

Tholeiitic intrusion hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, such as Norilsk, Voisey’s Bay and Jinchuan, dominate world nickel mining production. These deposits typically form on the margins of Archean Cratons.

In Western Australia, most nickel mines are Archean komatiitic hosted deposits, typified by the Kambalda and Forrestania Nickel Mining Camps. The 2012 discovery of the intrusion related Nova-Bolinger Ni-Cu Deposit, hosted within the Albany-Frazer Tectonic Zone, and the more recent 2020 discovery of the

Page | 17

Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu Deposit, near Perth, have confirmed the craton margin model seen elsewhere in the world and, in particular, highlighted the prospectivity of the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province (Figure 3).

The craton margin provides a zone of weakness that can facilitate the flow of mantle derived magmas into the crust. The degree of mineralisation within these bodies is a function of a number of factors including the parental magma composition, the source of sulfur (mantle or crust), and the degree of fractionation of the sulphide melt. Intrusive bodies are relatively small (10’s to 100’s of metres thick) and can form a variety of shapes including dykes, channel, and chonoliths (Maier & Groves 2011). Sulphide bodies can occur within a number of settings or trap sites within the intrusion including at the margins (especially base), or where the dykes enter magma chambers (Figure 5).

==> picture [326 x 258] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 Idealised Layered Intrusive showing potential massive sulfide trap sites (Maier and Groves 2011)

Along an active craton margin, latter tectonic activity can remobilise intrusive bodies and massive sulphide bodies formed within them into secondary structural settings. Figure 6 below, from Barnes et al 2016, demonstrates the complex geology and mineralisation setting for several major orthomagmatic Ni-CuPGE deposits.

Page | 18

==> picture [224 x 306] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6 Geological setting of major orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE Deposits (Barnes et al 2016)

The overall tectonic setting of the Narryer Terrane, in which the Byro East Project is located, has similarities with other intrusion related style Ni-Cu-PGE style deposits such as Nova-Bollinger and Julimar. These include:

  • Located on the margins of the Yilgarn Craton

  • Major district scale structures that could tap the mantle

  • Presence of mafic and ultramafic intrusions within the Narryer Terrane

  • Past exploration on ground outside the current project has returned indications of sulphide mineralisation including gossans and anomalous rock chip geochemistry

The Byro East Project occurs between Mount Rebecca Fault and Yalgar Fault, interpreted by the company to be first order bounding structures encasing the Narryer Terrane (Figure 7). It is believed these deepseated structures and lesser splay faults could provide the necessary pathways for mafic- ultramafic melts to intrude the host rocks and form Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation.

The Milly-Milly ultramafic intrusive, located immediately to the west of E09/2386 andE09/2387,is a large intrusive body with a strike of approximately 7 kilometers, hosted within metasediments and gneiss. Previous exploration returned low order pentlandite [(Fe,Ni)9S8] and chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) mineralisation associated with pyrrhotite {Fe(1-x)S] and pyrite (FeS2). Due to close spatial associations, a number of

Page | 19

smaller ultramafic bodies mapped by the GSWA within E09/2387 are thought to be part of the Milly-Milly Intrusive and are therefore considered to be prospective for Ni-Cu- PGE mineralisation.

3.5 Exploration Potential

The Byro East Project is a large tenement position situated in an emerging mineral province, prospective for mafic–ultramafic intrusion related Ni–Cu-PGE mineralisation and potentially orogenic gold (Au) mineralisation.

Historical exploration work in the greater area has been fragmented, and rarely systematic exploration work has been completed. The Company is in the process of acquiring and validating historical exploration

Page | 20

data and compiling it into a relational digital database. Comos are also collating precompetitive government geophysical data and relevant GSWA geochemical data sets.

Preliminary exploration targeting undertaken by Cosmos has identified four (4) targets (Dottyback, Leatherback, Bluebottle and Glasswing) within the central tenure block and to the east of the Milly-Milly Intrusion (Figure 8). The Company intends to focus initial exploration activity on these prospects whilst it undertakes broader regional exploration across the greater project area to identify additional targets.

Figure 8 Milly-Milly Intrusive and Target Areas

Page | 21

3.5.1 Dottyback Prospect (E 09/2386, E 09/2387)

The Dottyback Prospect hosts numerous outcrops of pod-like mafic-ultramafic that appear to be related to the larger Milly-Milly Intrusion to the west (Figure 8). Structurally, the prospect is well located, being on a regional flexure (evident in the regional magnetics) and at the intersection of two (2) gravity ridges which suggests that deep-seated structures may have been active during emplacement of maficultramafic units.

Only limited work has been undertaken on this prospect (Figure 9). Jododex completed a soil program over the area in 1973. The survey was undertaken on a local grid, but details concerning the sample medium taken, methodology and analytical procedures are poorly documented. Jododex drilled two (2) shallow holes to test their best geochemical anomalies. Details of the drilling are sparse, but a petrological sample taken from drill chips identified violarite, a weathered product of pentlandite (A 69061).

In 2004, Yilgarn Mining Limited completed a ground moving loop electromagnetic (EM) survey over a portion of the Jododex soil survey area. In 2006, Mithril Resources Limited completed a small, fixed loop EM survey over an outcropping gossan within the Yilgarn EM survey area. The Yilgarn Mining survey was compromised by heavy cyclonic rains, which caused the soils to become conductive. The survey identified several early time conductors interpreted to be responding to the conductive regolith and one possible shallow basement conductor, but no drill targets were identified.

Page | 22

==> picture [317 x 384] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9 Dottyback Prospect Past Exploration Work and Geology

The Cosmos view which the author concurs with that Dottyback is under-explored, and there exists a greenfield opportunity to discover a Ni-Cu-PGE mineralised system. The presence of ultramafic bodies associated with the nearby Milly- Milly Intrusion, known areas with Ni-Cu geochemical anomalism and favourable structural setting; indicates that Dottyback is prospective for Ni-Cu mineralisation. In addition, several known ultramafic outcrops and their potential extensions under thin transported cover remain open for testing.

3.5.2 Leatherback Prospect (E 09/2386)

The Leatherback Prospect lies on the same magnetic trend as the Irrida Hill Prospect of Desert Metals Limited, located 25 kilometres to the north-east (Figure 7, Figure 10). The Irrida Hill Prospect is an oval shaped, discrete magnetic low identified in regional aeromagnetic’s. VTEM surveying of the target identified a conductor that was drill tested and returned massive sulphide mineralisation.

Page | 23

The Leatherback Prospect is defined by a magnetic low measuring 2.0km x 0.9km adjacent to a linear magnetic high (Figure 10). To date, no exploration has been conducted on this target however the similarity of the Leatherback magnetic anomaly with the Irrida Hills Prospect is regarded as a positive feature that required additional exploration. Cosmos intends to undertake an airborne VTEM survey, ground geophysics and surface geochemical sampling across the prospect to define potential drill targets. Whist this is an early stage prospect further exploration appears warranted.

==> picture [456 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 10 Leatherback Target and Magnetic Signature

The Dottyback Prospect has a similar magnetic signature and appear to be on the same regional magnetic trend to the Irrida Hills Prospect which has intersected massive sulphide mineralisation. Whilst there is no certainty the Dottyback Prospect contain similar geology or mineralisation, the target represents a valid exploration concept and warrants testing.

3.5.3 Bluebottle Prospect (E 09/2386)

The Blue Bottle Prospect is approximately 5 km south west of the Dottyback Prospect (Figure 11). The target, interpreted from regional aeromagnetic survey data, is a discrete 1km wide magnetic high within a broader 4km wide circular ring structure. The magnetic feature is located immediately south of the Milly-Milly Intrusion and coincides with a flexure in an adjacent gravity ridge (Figure 7, Figure 8). GSWA

Page | 24

geological mapping indicates that bedrock is porphyritic granite with inclusions of amphibolite and ultramafic rock.

The magnetic high could be caused by a number of factors. If it represents a buried ultramafic unit related to the Milly-Mill Intrusion, then it is prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation.

==> picture [312 x 378] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11 Blue Bottle Prospect Target Outline on Regional Magnetics

3.5.4 Glasswing Prospect (E 09/2386, E 09/2387)

The Glasswing Prospect (Figure 8) is the conceptual target developed from interpretation of regional aeromagnetic survey data. It is the closest target area to the Milly-Milly Intrusion (Figure 7, Figure 8). The aeromagnetic signature suggests it could be an extension of the intrusion under Cenozoic cover. The internal magnetic fabric is different, particularly when compared to the high magnetic response observed over the Milly-Milly intrusion which outcrops to the west of the project. This high magnetic response is likely due to the combination of outcropping lithology and a high content of magnetic minerals produced during serpentinisation of the Milly-Milly intrusion.

Page | 25

Structural architecture plays an significant role in the emplacement of magmatic related intrusive complexes. The prospect occurs at the apex of a significant structural offset in regional geology and is also evident in the magnetic imagery which shows magnetic trends wrapping around the feature of interest, changing from southwest to northerly trend.

3.5.5 Regional Ni-Cu-PGE Potential

Cosmos has a significant tenement portfolio within the Narryer Terrane which forms the northern portion of the developing West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province, located at the edge of Yilgarn Craton (Figure 3). The recent (2020) Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu find highlights the discovery potential for orthomagmatic base metal deposits elsewhere within the belt. The company’s tenement portfolio is largely unexplored for this deposit type. Regional aeromagnetic survey data interpretations indicate that the Byro East Project is in a favourable structural setting with a number of magnetic trends that may be related to igneous intrusive bodies (Figure 7). The potential to locate Ni-Cu mineralised mafic-ultramafic intrusions within the Project area remains good

3.5.6 Gold Potential

The Byro East Project, located on the NW margin of the Yilgarn Craton, is in a similar regional setting to the Tropicana Gold Deposit located in the Albany Fraser Zone at the SE margin of the Yilgarn Craton.

The Tropicana Gold Deposit, jointly owned by AngloGold Ashanti and Regis Resources Limited, is hosted within Neoarchean gneiss of the Plumridge Terrane of the Albany- Fraser Zone. The gneiss is derived from a felsic to mafic protolith and has been intruded by granite. The Tropicana Deposit is structurally controlled, with gold localised on listric faults that form an imbricated thrust stack (Doyle et al 2017).

The Byro East Project setting is considered analogous to the Tropicana setting. Both occur on the edge of Yilgarn Craton where deep crustal sutures, and associated splay faults occur. The gneiss host rock is similar and has also undergone high grade metamorphism.

No specific gold targets have been identified to date. During the course of the company’s regional exploration work, the company intends to assay samples for gold and gold indicator elements and will follow up anomalies generated.

3.5.7 Planned Exploration

Cosmos has a plan to commence exploration on the Dottyback, Leatherback, Bluebottle, and Glasswing prospects. Prospect scale work, which aims to define drill targets, includes geological mapping, ground EM geophysical surveying and multielement soil and rock chip geochemistry surveys. In addition, the company intends to undertake low level airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys and airborne VTEM geophysical surveys over the project tenements to regionally map geological units, define structures and potential sulphidic bedrock conductors. The targets identified from the regional work will be field checked

Page | 26

and ranked based on Cosmos’s criteria, suitable exploration programs will be undertaken in order to evaluate the targets .

3.0 Orange East Project

3.0.1 Location

The Orange East Project is located approximately 15 km southeast of Orange and 200 km west of Sydney, New South Wales (Figure 13). The city of Orange is a major regional centre, servicing a population of approximately 42,000 people. The major industries in the district are the agriculture, mining, and government services sectors. The city is well serviced by a network of roads, rail lines, and regular air services to Sydney.

==> picture [379 x 269] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 12 Orange East Location Plan

The Project lies within the 1:250,000 BATHURST [SH55-08] sheet area.

3.0.2 Access and Mining Infrastructure

The Great Western Highway runs to the southeast of the project. A network of sealed and unsealed shire roads runs off the highway providing access throughout the tenement.

3.0.3 Topography and Vegetation

The project area is in an area of gently rolling hills. Due to extensive clearing for agricultural purposes, most of the area has been cleared with little natural vegetation remains.

Page | 27

3.0.4 Mineral Tenure

The Orange East Project consists of a single Exploration License (EL) covering an area of 40 km[2] (Table 2).

Table 2 Orange East Project Tenement Details

RareX has been granted a 5-year extension of term on the 11 May 2021 by the Department of New South Wales Regional – Mining, Exploration and Geoscience Division who administer mineral titles in the state. As a condition of the renewal, RareX committed to undertake a 5-year work program involving surface geochemical sampling, ground geophysics and drilling. The total expenditure commitment over the five year period is $550,000.

Cosmos has signed a Demerger Implementation and Tenement Sale Agreement with RareX whereby on completion of the Tenement Sale Agreement (in accordance with the Demerger Implementation Deed) Cosmos will acquire a 75% interest in EL 8442. RareX will retain a 25% interest in the tenement which is to be by Cosmos until completion of a bankable feasibility study. Investors are directed to the Independent Solicitor’s Report in Annexure B of the prospectus for details of the agreement.

3.0.5 Land Tenure and Surface Rights

The project tenure coexists with a number of freehold titles. The owners of these freehold titles use the land for commercial farming, as well as hobby and residential lots. To access the land for exploration and potentially mining purposes, the holder of the mineral title must negotiate access and compensation agreements with the individual landholders. The access agreements set out the conditions under which Cosmos can enter the land and carry out exploration, as well as compensation payable by Cosmos to the landholder. JGA understands that RareX has concluded several access deeds with landholders over parts of the project, and negotiations over other areas are ongoing. We have not reviewed the contents of the concluded access agreements, and potential investors are directed to the Solicitors report accompanying the prospectus. It is noted in several historical technical exploration reports that there have been lengthy delays in reaching agreements with some landholders in the area.

The network of shire roads crossing the tenure are within local road reserves where permission from relevant authorities is required prior to undertaking work.

3.0.6 Heritage

JGA understands there are currently no Registered Native Title Application, Determine Outcomes, or Indigenous Land Use Agreements in place over the project area.

3.0.7 Current District Mining Activity

There are several major open pit and underground mining operations in the vicinity of the Orange East Project including (Figure 13):

Page | 28

  • Cadia Valley Operations (Newcrest Mining Ltd): A large tonnage underground block cave Cu-Au mine located approximately 25 km south-west of Orange. (Newcrest 2020 Annual Report)

  • McPhillamys (Regis Resources Ltd): Located on the Godolphin Fault which also strikes through EL 8442 .. Regis is currently progressing mine permits and approvals.

  • Lucknow (Talisman Mining Limited): The Lucknow gold field is located approximately 6 km SW of the project area. A series of historic underground mines produced approximately 400,000 oz Au (Talisman ASX announcement 27/8/2020). Mineralised lodes are developed on an easterly dipping contact between ultramafic unit and andesitic volcanics. Talisman are currently undertaking additional drilling.

3.1 Previous Mining and Exploration

Shortly after settlement of the area in the 1830’s, small scale mining occurred in the district, with most extracting copper and gold ore via underground shafts. Within the EL8442 project area, there a number of old mine shafts, the largest of which is the Carangara Mine located in the south-eastern corner. Production records are incomplete, available records suggest approximately 700 tons of copper ore (malachite-bornite-chalcopyrite) ore was extracted from mine (Stevens 2021). Production records from the other mines within the project area are not available

Since the mid 1980’s the EL8442 area has been subject to a number of mineral exploration programs targeting gold and base metal mineralisation:

1981-1983 Teck Exploration Pty Ltd

Teck targeted Silurian age volcanic sequences for volcanogenic base metal mineralisation (“VHMS”). Work undertaken included literature research, field mapping, and a DIGHEM II airborne electromagnetic survey. Field checking, and geochemical sampling was undertaken over a number of conductors which appear to be outside of current tenure. Follow-up base metal results were low, conductor targets were downgraded, and the ground was surrendered.

1993-1994 Compass Resources NL

Compass Resources explored the area for epithermal-mesothermal Cu-Au deposit types and VHMS style mineralisation. Work undertaken included literature research and following up anomalous historical geochemical results. Within the current tenure, the Carangara working were inspected, and chip sampled. Copper (Cu) mineralisation was found to be associated with a large number of narrow stockwork veins within slightly altered andesite. Silicified porphyry and massive quartz biotite altered rock was also observed in waste dumps. Historical records indicate that veins withs are approximately 45 cm wide and the working extend to approximately 73m below surface. Only five (5) rock chip samples were collected and analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au.

1995-1997 Michelago Resources NL and North Limited JV

The Michelago/North JV covered part of the current tenure. The joint venture was formed to explore the Ordovician lithologies for large tonnage intrusion related Au-Cu deposits. Work included aeromagnetic

Page | 29

interpretation, geological mapping, rock chip sampling and stream sediment sampling. This work generated the Woodville and Raptor Cu-Au anomalies within the current tenement which were later drilled tested by rotary air blast (“RAB”), air core (“AC”) and percussion drilling.

A total of 89 RAB holes, 77 AC holes and, 12 percussion holes were drilled vertically to test the defined anomalies. The drilling intersected a foliated sequence of juvenile lithic volcanoclastic which had been pervasively chlorite-talc altered. The vertical holes were drilled on a nominal east-west grid. Drill depths ranged from 2m and 46m. Two (2) metre downhole composite samples were analysed for Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Mo, Pb, S, Sb, Sn, Te, and Zn.

Anomalous results in the upper part of the holes were interpreted to be a supergene enrichment caused by weathering processes and fluctuating water tables over geologic time. North Limited withdrew from the joint venture.

1998-2000 Michelago Resources NL

The company completed a data review whilst it tried to attract another JV partner before surrendering the ground.

2004-2016 Clancy Exploration Limited

Clancy undertook substantial exploration programs over the current Orange East Project. Work included:

  • Landholder negotiations and consultation

  • Probabilistic modeling

  • Sampling:

  • 3,718 hand auger soil samples, analysed by laboratory and pXRF

  • 381 rock chip samples

  • Geophysics:

  • Ground magnetics survey (542-line km)

  • 3D IP surveying (2 sq km) .

  • Drilling:

  • Ten (10) reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes for 1,463m

  • Eight (8) diamond drill (“DD”) holes for 1,564.3m

  • Petrology and infrared spectral analyses

The surface auger and rock chip sampling identified a number of targets along the major Godolphin Fault system, some were subsequently tested by ground geophysics and RC & DD drilling. The ground magnetics survey identified demagnetised zones along fault which were commonly associated with strongly potassic altered and mineralised rocks on surface. IP surveying between the Pendarves and Carangara South prospects identified several >20 mV IP chargeability units which were all within Anson Formation rocks, to the east of the Godolphin Fault. These targets were tested by 8 DD holes which intersected zones of moderate to intense potassic alteration, quartz veining and disseminated sulfides. Whilst no economic intersections were returned from the drilling, several holes intersected anomalous Au and Cu

Page | 30

geochemistry associated with wide zones of potassic alteration (refer Clancy Exploration Limited ASX announcements 29[th] October 2009 and 27 October 2010.)

2017-2020 Clancy Exploration Limited Alkane Minerals JV

Alkane, the operator of the joint venture, did not complete any on-ground activities before withdrawing.

2020-2021 RareX Limited (formerly Clancy Exploration Limited)

RareX engaged Resource Potentials Pty Ltd, a Perth based geophysical consultancy firm, to:

  • Compile and reinterpret all historic magnetic, gravity and IP geophysical data on the project, and

  • Complete 3D inversion modelling of magnetic data and offset pole-dipole IP survey data.

Exploration Database

Pursuant to the Tenement Sale Agreement between Cosmos and RareX, Cosmos has access to, and from completion of the Tenement Sale Agreement (in accordance with the Demerger Implementation Deed) will acquire ,an extensive digital exploration database compiled by RareX and Clancy, including drilling, surface geochemistry, exploration reports and geophysical data on the project and surrounding areas. Three (3) DD holes by Clancy are in storage at the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) core library in Londonderry. Figure 14 below spatially maps the past exploration activity.

3.2 Regional Geology

The Orange East Project lies within the Lachlan Fold Belt (LBF) (Figure 14). The LBF is part of a convergent plate margin that occupies a large area of what is now Central New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania (Foster & Gray 2000). The LBF is part of a larger plate margin that stretched around the Gondwana supercontinent. The LBF consists of a series of accreted terrains dominated by Ordovician-Devonian age volcaniclastics and marine sedimentary rocks. Silurian to Devonian and Carboniferous age granites have intruded the sequence. Volcanism during the Cenozoic times extruded flood basalts across wide areas of the LBF as evidenced by flood basalts from the Mt Canobolous volcano to the north-east of the project area.

Page | 32

==> picture [344 x 415] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 14 Orange East Project Regional Geological Setting and Mineral Deposits

The project hosts the Molong Volcanic Arc and the Hill End Trough. The Godolphin Fault zone, which runs through the project, separates these two (2) domains. The Molong Volcanic Arc is characterised by Ordovician to Silurian age mafic to intermediate volcanics with porphyry intrusions, including those that host the Cadia Cu-Au and Copper Hill Deposits. The Hill End Trough is characterised by Silurian – Devonian age siliciclastic sediments and acid volcanics. The Carboniferous age Bathurst granite batholith intrudes the sequence to the south-east of the project area.

3.3 Local Geology

The Orange East Project comprises a series of slices of Ordovician – Silurian stratigraphy offset by a series of roughly N_NW strike faults, dominated by the Godolphin Fault (Figure 16). The interpreted bedrock geology and structure of the project was obtained from the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW). Principal rock unit details are presented in Table 3 below.

Table 3 Orange East Project Stratigraphy (GSNSW)

Interpretation of Clancy’s diamond drill data, obtained from the Carangara South, Wentworth and Pendarves South prospects, indicates that siltstone lithologies in the SE of the project are similar to the Anson Formation rather than the Oakdale Formation shown on regional maps (Vassallo 2012). Whether these siltstones are faulted rafts of Anson Formation caught up along the Godolphin Fault or a different unit is unknown but they could be significant as the McPhillamys Deposit is hosted in Anson Formation sediments.

==> picture [424 x 351] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 15 Orange East Project - Interpreted Bedrock Geology and Prospects

Page | 34

Work completed by previous explorers has identified two (2) broad styles of hydrothermal alteration within the project area (Vassallo 2012):

  • Potassic (amphibolite- biotite – K-feldspar – carbonate) alteration. This style of alteration has been recognised in the vicinity of the Carangara Copper Mine. The source of the alteration is not known but could be related to a buried intrusion.

  • Albite-chlorite-sericite orogenic style alteration associated with gold (Au) mineralisation.

The spatial relationship between the two (2) styles of hydrothermal alteration is not fully understood due to the limited subsurface drilling completed so far on the tenement.

Structurally, the area is dominated by the Godolphin Fault, a regionally significant NW-SE trending terrane boundary structure that has a strike length of approximately 60 kms from the thrusted boundary between the Molong Arc and Hill End Trough. Several district scale thrust faults, including the Lucknow and Lewis Ponds Faults, splay off the Godolphin within the tenement area (Figure 16). These faults have juxtaposed large blocks of stratigraphy against each other. Significant gold and base metal mineralisation, including McPhillamys (2.02 Moz Au Resource), Lucknow (300 koz Au past production) and Lewis Ponds (300 koz Au + base metals), all occur on or adjacent to these structures suggesting they played a major role in the conduit of ore fluids throughout the district (Figure 13, Figure 16, Figure 17).

3.4 Deposit Types and Mineralisation

Gold and base metal mineralisation is widespread throughout the region. The main mineralisation styles that Cosmos are exploring for include:

  • McPhillamys’ style structurally controlled gold (Au) hosted in Anson Formation sediments to the east of the Godolphin Fault

  • Porphyry Style Au-Cu Mineralisation. Examples include the world class Cadia Deposit associated within Ordovician to Early Silurian mafic to intermediate volcanics, volcanoclastic and alkaline to shoshonite intrusions

  • Fault or hydrothermally controlled Au mineralisation within volcanics and sediments in the western part of the project, similar to the Lucknow Gold Deposits

3.5 Exploration Potential

Based on a review of the past exploration, Cosmos has identified four (4) targets (Carangara, Pendarves, Wentworth, and Gunnarbee)(figure XX) which it intends to focus its exploration activities

Page | 36

==> picture [339 x 410] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 17 Orange East Project - Prospect Plan

3.5.1 Carangara Prospect

The Carangara Prospect is centered around the historic Carangara mine which produced 760 t of oxide copper ore. Previous exploration work has identified a number of targets within the area that remain largely untested and warrant additional exploration.

The Carangara Prospect straddles the Godolphin Fault (Figure 17). Regional geological plans indicate that Byng Volcanics underlay the area, however, drilling undertaken by Clancy indicated that siltstone units intersected on the eastern side of the Godolphin Fault may be Anson Formation which would be significant as this setting is similar to the McPhillamys deposit to the south.

Recent reprocessing of Carangara IP data has identified two >30 siemens chargeability anomalies to the east of the Carangara Mine which have been poorly tested to date (Figure 18). The northern IP anomaly is undrilled. The southern anomaly has a single DD hole into the top of the IP anomaly (Figure 19).

Figure 19 Carangara South IP Anomaly Cross Section showing planned drillhole

Previous DD hole OED��� intersected a sedimentary package of siltstones, carbonaceous siltstones, volcanic sandstones, and sedimentary breccias and ended in dacite tuff. Zones of chlorite, silica and sericite altera�on were recorded within the hole. Structural measurements, taken from interbeds of siltstone and shale, indicate that the beds dip moderately to the east, which is sub parallel to the drill direc�on. No significant mineralisa�on was returned, however broad zones of low tenor copper anomalism were intersected.

To the north-west of the northern IP anomaly, a series of RC drillholes were completed by Clancy to test the Carangara North soil geochemistry anomaly. The northern most hole, OERC���, drilled through a sequence of volcanic sandstones which have been interpreted as Anson Forma�on (Figure ��, Figure ��). No significant mineralisa�on was returned in the drilling however several zones of weakly anomalous gold and copper mineralisa�on were returned in holes OERC ��� and OERC���. There is poten�al for the mineralised envelope to improve as it plunges north. This target remains open and warrants addi�onal drill tes�ng.

3.5.2 Pendarves Prospect

The Pendarves Prospect, located to the north of the Carangara Prospect, is a north east striking Cu-Au geochemical soil anomaly straddling the Godolphin Fault (Figure 17). Interpretation of regional magnetics suggests that the prospect sits on a regional anticline and is subparallel to an interpreted cross structure. The geochemical anomaly has a strike of approximately 1600m and has not been drill tested. Due to the complex structural setting and strong geochemical signature, the prospect represents an attractive target for Cu-Au mineralisation.

3.5.3 Wentworth Prospect

The Wentworth Prospect is a series of geochemical soil anomalies that straddle the Godolphin Fault (Figure 17). The bedrock geology is interpreted to be Byng volcanics. No drill testing of the anomaly has been undertaken . Due to the location of the anomaly being on a major regional mineralised structures the prospect represents an attractive target for Au or Cu-Au mineralisation

3.5.4 Gunnarbee Prospect

The Gunnarbee Prospect is located on the north-eastern side of the tenement (Figure 17). The prospect occurs to the east of the Lewis Ponds Fault which is a major splay structure off the Godolphin Fault. Regional geological mapping indicates that the underlying bedrock lithologies are carbonaceous pyritic siltstone, felsic volcanics, and volcanic sandstones of the Anson Formation. Regional radiometric imagery also indicates potassic altered bedrock which indicates that the geological setting is similar to the McPhillamys Gold Deposit (Figure 17)

Previous surface geochemical sampling over the area has identified a N-S striking Au in soil geochemical anomaly . The anomaly approximately 1000m long and 200m wide. Whist the prosect is at an early stage of exploration due to is overall similarities to the McPhillamy Deposit drill testing is warranted

3.5.3 Planned Exploration

At Carangara, Cosmos intends to complete a program of deep diamond drill to test IP defined targets. The IP anomalies suggest a mineralised quartz stockwork system or McPhillamys style gold mineralisation.

In addition, RC drilling will also be completed on the and Pendarves and Wentworth Prospects. Both prospects have been poorly tested however past exploration has identified strong geochemical anomalies warranting additional drill testing.

At Gunnarbee, drilling will test of the existing geochemical anomaly for a McPhillamys’ style gold mineralisation.

The planned exploration work on the Orange East Project will be conditional on Cosmos obtaining necessary landholder access approval. At the time of preparation of this report, the company had yet to receive the necessary consents from landholder to undertake some of the planned work programs.

4.0 Technical Risks

All compiled data presented in this report has been derived from open-source state geological survey data, and historical explora�on reports submi�ed state geological surveys by previous explorers. In the compila�on of this report, Cosmos and JGA undertook searches of the WAMEX system in the case of Byro East Project and the DIGS system in the case of the Orange East Project. These searches were thorough but rely on reports being catalogued correctly and, in the case of pre digital era, this may not always be the case and, therefore, best efforts may have failed to iden�fy material informa�on. In addi�on, recent explora�on work is in some cases retained in confiden�ality by the geological surveys for varying periods of �me. As such, this recent data may not be available which could have a material impact on future explora�on decisions.

The accuracy and quality of the data in the historical explora�on reports, including accuracy of loca�on of observa�ons, drillholes and sample points, sampling methodology, laboratory techniques and quality assurance of analy�cal data, can be variable and is not always adequately detailed. The inability to properly validate historical data, included in this report, and upon which future explora�on decisions will be made, increases the overall risk of the explora�on process.

is an intrinsically risky process, par�cularly at an early stage. It is likely, based on industry accepted sta�s�cs, that no significant mineralisa�on will be located within the Projects. Both projects are in geological terranes prospec�ve for the styles of mineralisa�on Cosmos is exploring for. Whilst there can be no certainty of success, addi�onal explora�on on both projects is warranted. In the event that significant mineralisa�on is iden�fied on the project, factors both in and out of the control of the Company may impede the defini�on of mineable resources. This may include, but is not limited to, factors such as a social licence to operate, mineability of the mineralised body, metallurgy of the ores, mee�ng regulatory requirements, ability to develop infrastructure appropriately, and mine closure processes. In addi�on, varia�ons in commodity prices, saleability of commodi�es and other factors outside the control of the Company may have either nega�ve or posi�ve impacts on the project.

5.0 Proposed Exploration Budget and Use of Funds

Cosmos has developed a two (2) year exploration plan which aims to evaluate the mineral potential of the Byro East Project and the Orange East Project.

The Byro East Project is located in Western Australia. It is an Early-Stage Exploration Project within the Narryer Terrane, a gneiss complex on the north western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Only limited base metal exploration has been undertaken to date. The company has identified the potential for a new target type, namely PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation associated with layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions. The setting of the Project is analogous to similar deposits on the margins of the Yilgarn Craton, such as the NovoBollinger Mine and the Julimar Prospect. The project is to the east of the Milly-Milly Ultramafic Intrusive. Cosmos has identified four (4) prospects that appear to be associated with the Milly-Milly intrusive which will be the initial focus of its exploration. Work planned includes detailed soil geochemistry and ground EM surveys. Anomalies generated from this work will be tested by reverse circulation (RC) drilling or

Page | 42

diamond drilling (DD). In addition, existing regional scale aeromagnetic data exhibit signatures that could represent previously unrecognised mafic – ultramafic bodies within the metasedimentary sequence. The company intends to fly low level airborne aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys, and airborne electromagnetic surveys (VTEM) over prospective areas. The aeromagnetic data assist with geological and structural interpretive maps and models, while VTEM surveys are expected to identify conductive bodies that could be related to massive or semi massive sulphide mineralisation. These are standard techniques for early stage exploration. Follow up work will include surface geochemical sampling, ground electromagnetic (EM) surveying and geological mapping. Gold and gold pathfinder elements will be added to the analytical suite as gold potential has not been fairly tested by exploration to date.

The Orange East Project is an Advanced Exploration Project located in New South Wales. The Project is on the Molong Arc within the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB). The company has identified several targets associated with the Godolphin Fault, a major structure which bisects the property. The Project is prospective for McPhillamys style gold mineralisation and, potentially, Au-Cu porphyry mineralisation at depth. The company is planning to undertake DD and RC drilling on these targets to assess their mineral potential.

The two (2) year exploration budget prepared by Cosmos amounts to $3,243,800 (Table 4). The activities budget includes all associated costs, such as field labor, travel, assaying, interpretation, field operation costs supervision, as well as heritage and land access costs. The exploration program and budget will be subject to modifications on an ongoing basis, depending on results obtained from exploration activities as they progress. The proposed budget is sufficient to cover the minimum expenditure commitments for the existing tenements as specified by statutory authorities in Western Australia and New South Wales.

The Author opinion that the Company’s proposed exploration program and budget over the two (2) years is reasonable, and consistent with its stated objectives. It is also considered that the program is warranted and justified based on the potential for discovery of economic mineral resources within the tenement package, and results of past exploration efforts.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc.). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
All information reported on is historical and was obtained
from open file exploration reports. Samples are from early-
stage exploration work comprising surface soil and rock
samples, auger soil samples, rotary air blast (RAB)
geochemical sampling. Some prospects have reverse
circulation (RC) percussion sampling and limited diamond
drilling. The majority of the samples collected for analysis
were processed through commercial laboratories, but pXRF
readings with limited laboratory checks were used on
number of soils programs
Because of the early-stage exploration style of the work,
limited documentation and quality control are available. The
inability to properly validate historical data, included in this
report, and upon which future exploration decisions will be
made increases the overall risk of the explorationprocess
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
All work reported in this report was completed by previous
explorers. Based on the information provided in the reports
the work was completed in a competent manner using
industry standard techniques and systems to collect and read
the data.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
The Competent Person has reviewed all the past exploration
reports. No economic intersections of mineralisation have
been returned from either project. At the Orange East
Project, mineral alteration and anomalous gold and base
metal assays have been returned from wide spaced
exploration
drilling,
sufficient
to
indicate
further
investigations are required. At the Byro East Project, there
has been no drilling.
In cases where “industry standard” work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. “reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay”). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
All data presented in the report is from historical exploration.
Specific details on sample collecting were not always
provided in the past reports.
Based on the information provided in the exploration reports
there is sufficient confidence that sampling was performed to
adequate industry standards for the time in which it was
undertaken and is fit for the purpose of planning exploration
programs and generating targets for investigation.
