HISTORY OF WOODLAWN

SUBSTANTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE

~\$340M INVESTED TO DATE – CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED IN 2019

HISTORICAL LEARNINGS

LEARNINGS FROM WOODLAWN'S HISTORICAL ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED BY DEVELOP

# Heron Historical Key Issues Develop Strategy / Learnings
1 Significant cost overrun and delays on
construction of project

Project now constructed and infrastructure already in place

Development only 25m away from the high-grade Kate Lens
2 Heron's mine plan relied heavily on reprocessing
tailings –
encountered recoverability issues
during ramp-up

Focussed on defining a robust underground only mine plan, where
metallurgy is well known given historical production

Tailings to potentially add additional value once operations are stable
3 Underground mining productivity issues during
ramp-up –
did not reach main Kate Lens prior to
C&M

Develop able to leverage its underground mining team and expertise to
significantly improve productivity
4 Insufficient working capital buffer to resolve
ramp-up issues

Develop's
scale allows it to be well capitalised ahead of production restart

To ensure sufficient buffer to work through plant commissioning
5 Onset of COVID pandemic exacerbated issues
above

Develop's
strategy in the near-term is to focus on defining a robust
underground mining inventory –
significantly reduced impact from COVID
relative to being in production
  1. Develop's ability to successfully recommence and Develop the Woodlawn Project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Refer to the Key Investment Risks (including the risks entitled "Proposed Acquisition", "Due Diligence risk", "Analysis of acquisition opportunity", "Restart and ramp-up of the Woodlawn Project" and "Development of projects") in Appendix A.

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

POTENTIAL TO BECOME A LARGE MINERAL SYSTEM AKIN TO GOLDEN GROVE AND ROSEBERY

  • Large mineral system; multiple lenses on multiple zones – open at depth and along strike
  • Potential akin to Golden Grove and Rosebery
  • Untested compared with other VMS mines
  • Multiple lenses totally open at depth
  • Numerous exploration targets identified

IN-MINE GROWTH POTENTIAL

SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL WITH VARIOUS UNTESTED CONDUCTORS AND OPEN LENSES

  • Potential for extension of known lenses and for discovery of additional lenses
  • Very limited step-out drilling historically
  • Known high-grade lenses remain open
  • DHEM data confirms untested conductors at depth
  • Leading consultants NewExco identified numerous exploration targets in the due diligence

WOODLAWN GROWTH STRATEGY

DEVELOP TO SPEND ~A\$30M OVER 24 MONTHS, FOCUSSING ON GROWING UNDERGROUND INVENTORY

  • Extensions of deposit is historically underdrilled - Kate lens was only discovered in 2013, c.40yrs post initial discovery
  • Develop to spend ~A\$30m over 24 months on inventory growth and C&M
  • ~1,000m underground Development to establish multiple drilling platforms
  • ~33km of underground diamond drilling to build inventory, targeting:
    • Extensions of known high-grade lenses (open in a number of areas)
    • Untested EM conductors
    • Additional mineralized horizons

WOODLAWN GROWTH STRATEGY

TARGETING 7-10 YEAR INITIAL MINE LIFE FROM UNDERGROUND SOURCES

  • Proposed drill drive take-off dewatered, powered, ventilated and ready for development
  • Allows Develop to drill year round and effectively conduct DHEM (given interference of surface infrastructure without UG platform)
  • Extension of C lens (main source of historical production) historically untested – will form key focus of Develop
  • Targeting Underground mining inventory to underpin a 7-10 year initial mine life

REGIONAL EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

SIGNIFICANT REGIONAL LANDHOLDING IN PROSPECTIVE LACHLAN FOLD BELT

  • Extensive 1,372km2 position over prospective stratigraphy in the highly regarded Lachlan Fold Geological Belt
  • Proven prospectivity with several historic mining centres
  • Currawang (10km from Woodlawn) historical prod 0.5Mt @ 13%Zn, 1.6%Cu, 2.2%Pb
  • Cowley Hills (2km from Woodlawn)
  • Limited systematic exploration for >30 years

DEVELOP POST ACQUISITION

Acquisition transforms Develop into a major base metals group centered on future-facing metals in Tier 1 locations

Three advanced high-grade base metal projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions

Project update – 8 December 2021

  • This update included the assays from ~25% of the resource/exploration holes drilled in the campaign
  • Outstanding infill drilling results point to a significant increase in the Indicated Resource. The Eastern lens is significantly thick than expected.
  • It also identified a new zinc -rich mineralisation in the hanging wall of the main deposits, results; o 20m @ 7.5% Zn and 20m @ 7.2% Zn
  • The first exploration drilling has confirmed significant extensions to the known mineralization, results;
  • o 49.0m @ 2.6% CuEq
  • Strength of results has prompted a review of the mine plan to consider the merits of establishing an underground operation ahead of the open pit
  • Develop may establish an exploration decline in CY22 to accelerate drilling from underground, which would be funded from existing cash reserves
  • Many assays still pending

APPENDIX A – KEY INVESTMENT RISKS

There are a number of risks associated with an investment in New Shares or Develop generally, as with any securities market investment. This section summarises the following key risks:

  • Risks specific to the business and operations of Develop, the Offer and investment in shares in Develop (including the New Shares).
  • Risks relating to the mining industry generally, which are common to copper/zinc production, development and exploration, and/or are risks to which Develop would continue to be exposed regardless of the Offer. • Risks relating to an investment in equity capital generally.
  • This section does not purport to list every risk that may be associated with an investment in Develop and the New Shares now or in the future, and the occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described in this section may be partially or completely outside the control of Develop, its directors and management.

The selection of risks in this section has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the directors as at the date of this Presentation, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of risks will not change, or other risks will not emerge. While it may be possible to mitigate some risks, there remain a number of risks beyond the control of Develop. You should consider whether the Offer is a suitable investment having regard to the key investment risks set out in this section, as well as your own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position. Develop recommends that you seek professional guidance from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent and qualified professional advisor in relation to the Offer.

SPECIFIC RISKS

Additional requirements for capital

Develop's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on Develop's ability to generate income from its operations, Develop may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. The terms on which debt financiers are willing to offer financing may vary from time to time depending on macro-economic conditions, the performance of Develop, and an assessment of the risk of the intended use of funds. There is no guarantee that Develop will be able to secure additional financing on terms favourable to Develop. Additionally, Develop is currently not a party to any binding offtake agreement and the ability to obtain debt financing may be tied to securing an appropriate offtake agreement in the future. Further, loan agreements and other financing arrangements such as debt facilities, convertible note issues and finance leases (and any related guarantee and security) that may be entered into by Develop may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance Develop will be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by Develop or default under a finance lease could also result in the loss of assets. If Develop is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be.

Key personnel

Develop is dependent on the experience of its current directors and key management personnel. The future direction of Develop, including the plans proposed to be implemented by the board, are dependent on the continuation of Develop's managing director and key management personnel. Although Develop has sought, and will continue to ensure, that its current directors and key management personnel are appropriately incentivised, their continued services cannot be guaranteed. The loss of any of Develop's directors or key management personnel's services may have an adverse effect on the performance of Develop pending replacements being identified and retained or appointed by Develop.

COVID-19

The global economic outlook is highly uncertain due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on global capital markets and the operation of a wide variety of businesses, including those in the mining industry.

Develop's share price may be adversely affected by the ongoing economic uncertainty, capital markets volatility or specific impacts on Develop and its operations that may arise in response to or otherwise as a result of COVID-19. Further, any measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by national, state and local governments (such as travel bans and quarantining) in Australia, Western Australia, or any other place that Develop may conduct operations, or deemed necessary by Develop, may adversely impact Develop's financial position and operations, including as to the availability of appropriate workers required for Develop to progress its operations and activities.

Additionally, there is a risk that there may be a COVID-19 outbreak at one or more of Develop's operational sites which may adversely impact the health and wellbeing of Develop's staff and adversely impact its operations.

The long term impacts of COVID-19 on general economic and industry conditions and consumer spending are uncertain and may adversely impact the financial and operational performance of Develop. In light of this, investors should exercise particular caution when assessing the risks associated with the Offer and an investment in Develop.

Proposed Acquisition

The Proposed Acquisition will be effected by way of a deed of company arrangement (DOCA), which must be approved by the requisite majorities of creditors of Heron in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). There is a risk that the DOCA will not be approved by the requisite majorities, that certain other conditions precedent to the effectuation of the deed of company arrangement will not be satisfied or waived (if applicable), or that there will be a delay in satisfaction of the conditions precedent, and that as a result, completion of the Proposed Acquisition may not occur or may be delayed, or the Proposed Acquisition may occur in a form different to that originally contemplated in this Presentation. A summary of the conditions precedent to completion of the Proposed Acquisition is set out in slide 9 and Appendix C.

If completion of the Proposed Acquisition does not occur, Develop will consider alternative uses for, or ways to return the proceeds of, any subscriptions raised under the Offer. In these circumstances, certain transaction costs such as underwriting and advisory fees will still be payable by Develop. Failure to complete the Proposed Acquisition, and/or any action required to be taken to return capital, may have an adverse impact on Develop's financial performance, financial position, and share price. In addition, the DOCA (if entered into) will release and discharge Heron from liability from unsecured "claims" against Heron, the circumstances giving rise to which occurred or arose before the time of the placement of Heron into voluntary administration. The releases and discharges will only take effect on effectuation of the DOCA. As with all deeds of company arrangement, there is a small risk that a creditor may dispute that its claim is effectively extinguished by the DOCA. In addition, there is a residual risk that a creditor may seek to terminate or vary the DOCA once executed, however Develop is not currently aware of any basis on which a creditor would seek to do so.

Due diligence risk

Develop conducted due diligence investigations in respect of the Proposed Acquisition, and Develop has relied upon information provided or disclosed by Heron in conducting its due diligence. The financial information, information on ore reserves and mineral resources and other information in relation to the Woodlawn Project included in this Presentation has been prepared by Develop (including any underlying assumptions to this information) in reliance on information provided or disclosed by Heron. As with any due diligence investigation, if any information provided and relied upon by Develop in its due diligence investigations proves to be incorrect, incomplete or misleading, or if Develop was not provided with all relevant information or there were other failings in the due diligence performed by Develop, there is a risk that there could be historical or other issues in relation to the Woodlawn Project or the Proposed Acquisition which could affect the success of the Proposed Acquisition or otherwise impact on Develop's financial position and performance.

Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive, and that all material issues and risks in respect of the Proposed Acquisition have been, or will be, identified (including issues that are material to the decision to undertake the Proposed Acquisition) and avoided or managed appropriately A material adverse issue that is not identified prior to undertaking the Proposed Acquisition could have an adverse impact on the financial performance or operations of Develop. There is a risk that issues and risks may arise which will also have a material impact on Develop (for example, Develop may later discover liabilities or defects which were not identified through due diligence or for which there is no contractual protection for Develop). This could adversely affect the operations, financial performance or position of Develop.

Further, the information reviewed by Develop in conducting its due diligence investigations includes forward looking information, which is inherently unreliable and based on assumptions that may change in the future. Therefore there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise which may also have a material impact on Develop.

Analysis of acquisition opportunity •

Develop has undertaken financial, tax, legal and commercial analysis on the Woodlawn Project, in order to determine its attractiveness to Develop and whether to acquire it. It is possible that despite such analysis and the best estimate assumptions made by Develop, the conclusions drawn are inaccurate or that synergies and benefits are not realised. Specifically, the Proposed Acquisition, and proposed development steps following it, carry risk, including potential delays and unforeseen costs, and difficulties in optimising various operations. To the extent that the actual results achieved by the Proposed Acquisition are different to those indicated by Develop's analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of Develop may be materially different from the profitability and earnings expected.

Underwriting risk

Develop has entered into an underwriting agreement with the Lead Manager, under which the Lead Manager has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer, subject to the certain terms and conditions summarised in Appendix C of this Presentation). If certain conditions contemplated by the underwriting agreement are not satisfied, or certain events occur, the Lead Manager may be entitled to terminate the underwriting agreement. Termination of the underwriting agreement would have an adverse impact on Develop's ability to raise the maximum amount of proceeds contemplated by the Offer, which in turn may impact on Develop's ability to complete the Proposed Acquisition or otherwise apply the proceeds of the Offer in the manner contemplated by this Presentation.

Risks associated with not taking up New Shares under the Offer

On completion of the Offer, assuming that no convertible securities currently on issue are converted prior to the Record Date (for the Entitlement Offer), the total number of issued shares in Develop would increase from 140.9 to 156.3 (an increase of 11%). If eligible shareholders do not take up all of their entitlements under the Offer, then their percentage holding in Develop will be diluted.

Regulatory risks

Develop's exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consents, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.

Develop requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise Develop's operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.

Obtaining the necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that Develop will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict Develop from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of Develop's activities or forfeiture of one or more of its tenements.

Development of projects

Develop's Sulphur Springs Project is at a pre-development stage, and potential investors should understand that development of mineral projects is a high-risk undertaking. The Woodlawn Project has been on care and maintenance since March 2020. There is no guarantee that Develop will achieve commercial viability through any of its projects, including the Sulphur Springs Project or the Woodlawn Project (assuming the Proposed Acquisition is completed).

Develop's future development activities may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond Develop's control.

Develop's success may also depend upon (amongst other things) Develop having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its tenements, obtaining all required approvals for its activities and recruiting appropriately skilled personnel. Many of these risks are also beyond the control of Develop.

Develop's development costs are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of development. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect Develop's viability.

Re-start and ramp-up of the Woodlawn Project

If the Proposed Acquisition completes, Develop will take ownership of the Woodlawn Project after the Woodlawn Project has been in care & maintenance for a period of approximately 23 months. All the risks associated with developing and operating a mine operation (as summarised in "Operating and project risks" below) are applicable during a production-ramp up and re-start phase. Additionally, the production ramp-up and re-start process may uncover failures or deficiencies in processes, systems, plant and equipment required for the Woodlawn Project, and addressing such failures or deficiencies may result in Develop incurring unexpected costs and production-ramp up delays. Any prolonged outage or shutdown due to technical problems or otherwise could substantially increase production costs or adversely impact Develop's financial performance.

Copper / zinc price volatility

If Develop achieves success leading to copper/zinc production, Develop's financial performance will be sensitive to the spot copper/zinc price. Copper/zinc prices, like all commodity prices, are affected by numerous factors and events that are beyond Develop's control. These factors and events include general economic activity, world demand, forward selling activity, copper/zinc reserve movements at central banks, costs of production by other copper/zinc producers and other matters such as inflationary expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates (particularly the strength of the US dollar) as well as general global economic conditions and political trends.

If copper/zinc prices should fall below or remain below Develop's costs of production for any sustained period due to these or other factors and events, Develop's exploration and production could be delayed or even abandoned. A delay in exploration or production or the abandonment of one or more of Develop's projects may require Develop to write-down its copper/zinc reserves and may have a material adverse effect on Develop's production, earnings and financial position.

Copper / Zinc operating and development risks

Develop's ability to achieve production, development, operating cost and capital expenditure estimates on a timely basis cannot be assured. The business of copper/zinc mining involves many risks and may be impacted by factors including ore tonnes, yield, input prices (some of which are unpredictable and outside Develop's control), overall availability of free cash to fund continuing development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, changes in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies. Other risks also exist such as environmental hazards (including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), industrial accidents and occupational and health hazards. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs and other monetary losses and possible legal liability to the owner or operator of the mine. Develop may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining activities for which it was not responsible.

These risks also mean that there can be no assurances as to the future development of a mining operation in relation to any of Develop's projects or which Develop may acquire in the future.

Potential merger and acquisition activity

As part of its current business strategy, Develop may make acquisitions or divestments of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies or assets. Develop may also be the subject of a change of control transaction in the future. Any such future merger and acquisition activity would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions or divestments.

MINING INDUSTRY RISKS

Exploration risk

Exploration is an inherently speculative and high-risk activity that requires significant amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time to present a reasonable probability of success. Develop's exploration activities are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including climatic conditions, hazards of operating vehicles and plant, technical difficulties, lack of sufficient water or power sources, industrial and environmental accident, adverse changes in government policy or legislation, lack of access to sufficient funding, lack of access to sufficient infrastructure, risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations.

Conclusions drawn during mineral exploration are subject to all the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

No assurance can be given that during the exploration process mineral resources will be defined with preferred or desirable tonnages and/or grades that would result in feasible economic extraction. Substantial expense may be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward.

Further, the costs of Develop's exploration activities may materially differ from its estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that Develop's cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the value of Develop's shares.

Operating and project risks

Unforeseen risks can arise in the development and production phase including mining or processing issues, environmental hazards, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, labour force disruption, the unavailability of materials and plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, unusual or unexpected geological formations, pit failures, changes in the regulatory environment, contractual disputes with offtakers, removal of access rights to the property(s) and adverse weather conditions. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Environmental

Develop's operations and activities are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia (and Western Australia (in respect of the Sulphur Springs Project) and New South Wales (in respect of the Woodlawn Project)) and any other places Develop may conduct business. As with most mining and exploration projects, Develop's operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced development proceeds at any one of Develop's existing or potential future projects.

Develop attempts to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. However, non-compliance with or breach of any conditions attached to Develop's mining or environmental licences, or the occurrence of an environmental incident, may lead to penalties or revocation of licences, a delay to Develop's operations or an increase in operating costs, and significant liability could be imposed on Develop for damages, rehabilitation and clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain environmental damage. This would require Develop to incur significant costs and may result in an adverse impact on Develop's cash flows, financial position and performance. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of its environmental licences, Develop may be required to pay bonds or guarantees to regulators and state or federal governments. Following closure of operations at any of Develop's mines Develop will incur costs for rehabilitation of the relevant mine site. The rehabilitation costs that are incurred following closure of a mine may exceed Develop's previous estimates of those rehabilitation costs.

Further, Develop is unable to predict the effect of additional or more onerous environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase Develop's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige Develop to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on Develop's operations, financial position and performance.

Water management

Water is a scarce commodity in much of regional Australia, and particularly in the areas in which Develop has existing or potential future operations. Water is a significant input into mine development and processing activities and access to sufficient water to support current and future activities is critical. There can be no guarantee that the cost of ensuring sufficient access to water at Develop's operations will not substantially increase in future. Reduced access to water may result in the reduction or suspension of Develop's operations.

Additionally, having and managing large quantities of water required at Develop's operations poses potential health and safety risks, environmental risks, and the risk of damage to property, in the event of a spillage or other accident.

Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable product, developing an economic process route to produce a saleable product, and changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent ore grades and recovery rates affecting the economic viability of the project.

Resource and reserve estimates

Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates must comply with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition, and are expressions of judgements based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and other similar examinations.

In addition, JORC compliant mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on geological interpretations, as well as various economic, commercial, technical, environmental and legal assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate or invalid due to the passage of time.

Should Develop encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted, mineral resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect Develop's operations.

Tenure and forfeiture

Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved. Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction (including Western Australia and New South Wales). The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal or conversion conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising Develop's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of Develop.

In Western Australia and New South Wales, tenements may also be forfeited or cancelled during the term pursuant to an application by any party, or by the Department. Irrespective of Develop's compliance with the conditions of the tenements, and applicable mining acts and regulations, there is no guarantee that applications for forfeiture or cancellation will not be made against the tenements. Further, any exemptions from tenement conditions (if available) are subject to the discretion of the Minister for Mines and objections by third parties.

If any application for forfeiture or objection to the grant of an exemption is lodged, Develop may be required to defend such applications or objections in the Warden's Court and incur significant costs.

Access and Co-operation Arrangements

Tenements are often subject to third party interests which may require rights of access to be granted to Develop. Where Develop wishes to undertake further exploration or production works on a tenement, it may need to negotiate access over land which is the subject of a third-party interest. If access arrangements cannot be agreed, or are agreed on conditions which are unfavourable to Develop, this may adversely affect Develop's ability to explore and develop its tenements. Develop may already have existing access arrangements, which may need to be renewed or renegotiated as access to and use of the tenements changes. Renegotiation of these agreements may be costly, or adversely affect Develop's ability to explore and develop its tenements.

Develop may be required to pay costs or provide guarantees to third parties under any access and/or co-operation arrangements that currently exist or are entered into in the future in respect of the Woodlawn Project. Any termination of or failure to renew existing access and/or co-operation arrangements, or renewal of existing arrangements on terms or conditions that are unfavourable to Develop, may adversely affect Develop's ability to explore and develop the Woodlawn Project.

Native title risk

Native title or Aboriginal heritage sites or objects may exist in the areas covered by Develop's tenements. Native title and heritage legislation in the jurisdictions in which Develop operates may affect Develop's ability to gain access to prospective exploration areas or obtain required permits or licences.

If native title has been claimed, Develop may seek a native title determination authorising entry onto land where native title has been claimed. If the title grants exclusive possession, the landowner may object to a notice of entry. Entry may only be granted on specific terms and conditions, and Develop may have to pay compensation to the landowner.

If there is a determination of native title over an area the subject of the prospecting and exploration tenements held by Develop, the native title holder's consent may be required for exploration and mining to occur.

Native title could potentially impact the status, renewal and conversion of existing tenements held by Develop and may impact the future grant of new tenements. Compensation may be required to be provided by Develop to native titleholders in the form of money, transfer of property or provision of goods and services.

Decarbonisation Risk

Develop may be required in the future to transition its mining operations to decarbonised mining operations. Such a transition may be required by changing environmental legislation or regulations, changing economic conditions or changing investor or lender sentiment. Decarbonisation may require changes to Develop's actual or planned mining activities and may affect the continuing viability or profitability of those activities.

GENERAL RISKS

Risks associated with an investment in equity capital

There are general risks associated with any investment in equity capital. The trading price of Develop's shares (including the New Shares) may fluctuate with movements in equity capital markets in Australia and internationally, and may also be influenced by a number of factors, some which are specific to Develop and its operations and some which may affect listed companies generally.

Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as general economic outlook, introduction of tax reform or other new legislation, interest rates and inflation rates, changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors, supply/demand of capital, terrorism and other hostilities, and pandemics and associated issues.

The market price of Develop's shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and industrial stocks in particular. Neither Develop nor the directors warrant the future performance of Develop or any return on an investment in Develop.

Investors should be aware that there is a risk that the market price of Develop's shares may change between the date of this Presentation and the date when New Shares are issued.

In addition, a decrease in the trading price of Develop's shares may make Develop a target of takeover offers from other entities. In these circumstances, there can be no guarantee as to the price that Develop's shareholders may be offered for their shares. The overall success of a third party offer to acquire all or a portion of Develop's shares is dependent on a number of factors outside of the control of Develop.

ESG risks

There is an increasing vigilance by investors, shareholders and other interested third parties regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. An increased focus on ESG issues may:

  • impact the implementation, interpretation or enforcement of legislation, regulations or formal and informal policies which affect Develop;
  • influence the investment criteria, sentiment or assumptions applied by investors and lenders dealing with Develop; or
  • influence the policies and negotiating positions of third parties currently contracting with Develop or who would otherwise be likely to contract with Develop in the future.

Insurance

Develop insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, Develop'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 Develop.

Insurance against all the risks associated with construction and engineering is not always available and, where available, costs can be prohibitive.

Liquidity and realisation risk

There can be no guarantee that an active market in Develop's shares will develop or continue, or that the market price of Develop's shares will increase. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares, as there may be relative few, if any, potential buyers or sellers of Develop's shares on ASX at any time.

Tax

Future changes in taxation law, including changes in the interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in Develop shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which Develop operates, may impact the future tax liabilities and performance of Develop. It is also possible for the jurisdictions in which Develop operates to increase the rate on which royalty is assessed with respect to the extraction and sale of copper/zinc and related products.

Shareholders are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring any New Shares under the Offer.

Develop, its advisors and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to shareholders resulting from the Offer.

Other general risks

The operating and financial performance of Develop is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions may result from many factors including government policy, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war, epidemic or pandemic or natural disasters. A prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions including an increase in interest rates or a decrease in consumer and business demand, could be expected to have an adverse impact on Develop's operating and financial performance and financial position.

Develop's future possible revenues and share prices may be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of Develop:

  • Default by a party to any contract to which Develop is, or may become, a party;
  • Insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the sub-contractors used by Develop in its activities;
  • Industrial disputation by Develop's workforce or the workforce of its sub-contractors;
  • Acts of war and terrorism or the outbreak or escalation of international hostilities and tensions; or
  • Epidemics or pandemics (including COVID-19).

Dividends

Any future payment of dividends by Develop will be at the discretion of the board and will depend on the financial position of Develop, future capital requirements, business operations and other factors considered relevant by the board at the time. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by Develop

Unknown Risks

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Develop may also have a material adverse effect on Develop's financial and operational performance and the information set out in this Presentation regarding the key operational and investment risks does not purport to be, nor should it be construed as representing, an exhaustive list of the risks.

A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser's Province for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as there are Canadian tax implications for investors in the Provinces.

Group, being 16 July 2021.

COPPER EQUIVALENT CALCULATIONS

All Copper equivalent (CuEq) figures included in this Presentation are calculated based on the following formula:

CuEq % = (Zn grade x Zn price x Zn recovery + Cu grade x Cu price x Zn recovery + Pb grade x Pb price x Pb recovery + Au grade x Au price x Au recovery + Ag grade x Ag price x Ag recovery) / Cu price

Commodity price used: Zn price of US\$3,635/t, Cu price of US\$9,557/t, Pb price of US\$2,274/t, Au price of US\$1,792/oz, and Ag price of US\$22.5/oz1

The following metallurgical recoveries applied:

  • Sulphur Springs metallurgical metal recoveries of 86.8% Cu, 93.6% Zn, 0.0% Au, 46.0% Ag & 0% Pb based on Sulphur Springs 2018 Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)
  • Sulphur Springs metallurgical recoveries also applied to Whim Creek given similar deposit2

It is Develop's opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation set out above have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold, however the commercial recovery and sale of any products from the Company's project are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Refer to the Key Investment Risks (including the risks entitled "Development of projects", "Copper / zinc price volatility" and "Copper / Zinc operating and Development risks") in Appendix A.
