CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Thursday, 24 February 2022

Dear Shareholder ,

On behalf of the directors of Develop Global Limited ( Develop or the Company ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 18.6 accelerated pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in Develop ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $3.30 ( Offer Price ) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

On 17 February 2022, Develop announced the proposed acquisition of all of the shares in Heron Resources Limited (Administrators Appointed) (including the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project) under a Deed of Company Arrangement ( Proposed Acquisition ) and its intention to raise approximately $50 million in total under the Entitlement Offer and a placement to institutional shareholders ( Placement ). Develop intends to raise approximately $25 million under the Entitlement Offer and $25 million under the Placement.

Together, the Entitlement Offer and Placement are the Equity Raising or the Offer .

In addition to the Equity Raising, Develop intends to issue up to A$1 million worth of New Shares to certain directors of Develop (subject to shareholder approval).

The Equity Raising

The Entitlement Offer will be conducted in two stages:

  • an accelerated non-renounceable institutional entitlement offer of New Shares to eligible institutional shareholders ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ), which is already complete and which was conducted in conjunction with the Placement; and

  • a non-renounceable retail entitlement offer of New Shares to eligible retail shareholders ( Retail Entitlement Offer ), which will be conducted in accordance with the Key Dates for the Entitlement Offer set out below.

This information booklet relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Information Booklet ). Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, eligible retail shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 18.6 existing fully paid ordinary shares in Develop ( Shares ) held at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 21 February 2022 ( Record Date ), at the Offer Price of $3.30 per New Share ( Entitlement ). This is the same price that was offered to institutional investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Placement. The Offer Price represents:

  • 4.1% premium to the last traded price of Develop shares on ASX of A$3.17 on Wednesday, 16 February 2022; and

  • 5.2% premium to the 5-day volume average weighted price ( VWAP ) for the period ending on Wednesday, 16 February 2022.

New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will, from their date of issue, rank equally with existing Shares then on issue.

The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00 (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022 (unless extended).

The Equity Raising is lead managed and fully underwritten by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Canaccord ) (the Lead Manager ). A summary of the key terms of the underwriting agreement is provided in the investor presentation released by Develop in connection with the Equity Raising ( Investor Presentation ) on Thursday, 17 February 2022 and incorporated in section 3 of this Information Booklet.

AUS\BCTS\68250295

6

In addition to the Placement and Entitlement Offer, Develop intends to issue up to A$1 million worth of New Shares to Develop directors ( Director Placement ). The Director Placement is not underwritten and will be undertaken at the same issue price as the Equity Raising. The Director Placement is subject to shareholder approval.

Use of proceeds

The Equity Raising seeks to raise at least $50 million in gross proceeds, which will be used by the Company to fund:

  • upfront cash consideration amount of A$15 million payable on Effectuation of the Deed of Company Arrangement for the Proposed Acquisition;

  • exploration costs and care & maintenance costs for the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project; and

  • working capital including transaction costs incurred in connection with the Proposed Acquisition and Equity Raising[*] .

Details about the use of proceeds from, and the conditions and risks associated with, the Equity Raising as well as further information about the Proposed Acquisition, are set out in the Investor Presentation (a copy of which is incorporated in section 3 of this Information Booklet).

Information Booklet

This Information Booklet is important and requires your immediate attention. It is accompanied by your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, which contains details of your Entitlement, as includes important information, such as:

  • key dates for the Entitlement Offer;

  • instructions on how to apply , setting out how to accept all or part of your Entitlement in the Retail Entitlement Offer if you choose to do so; and

  • the ASX Offer Announcements in respect of the Equity Raising.

The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022 (unless extended).

To participate, you need to ensure that you have completed your application by:

  • paying Application Monies via BPAY® pursuant to the instructions that are set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form so that your payment via BPAY® has been received by Develop by 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022, or by accessing your payment details at the offer website – https://events.miraqle.com/ dvp-offer ; or

  • lodging your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with payment of Application Monies, by cheque, bank draft or money order so that it is received by Develop (care of Link Market Services Limited) by 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022.

Develop encourages eligible retail shareholders to submit their application online through the offer website (https://events.miraqle.com/ dvp-offer ), as there can be no guarantee that an application lodged by post will be received by Develop before the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer (5.00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022).

  • Develop reserves the right to change its intentions in relation to the use of funds. 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.

1. OVERVIEW OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER

1.1

Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is an offer of approximately 7.6 million New Shares at the Offer Price of $3.30 per New Share. Under the Entitlement Offer, all Eligible Institutional Shareholders and all Eligible Retail Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 18.6 Shares held at 7:00 pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date.

The Entitlement Offer comprises two parts, being:

  • the Institutional Entitlement Offer : Eligible Institutional Shareholders were invited to take up their Entitlements. The Institutional Entitlement Offer closed on Friday, 18 February 2022; and

  • the Retail Entitlement Offer : Eligible Retail Shareholders are now being invited to take up all or part of their Entitlements. The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022 (unless otherwise extended).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that Entitlements are personal to you and non-transferable and cannot be sold or traded on ASX or any other securities exchange, or assigned or otherwise dealt with.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will, from their date of issue, rank equally with existing Shares then on issue.

1.2

Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is lead managed and fully underwritten by Canaccord. A summary of the key terms of the underwriting agreement is provided in Appendix D of the Investor Presentation incorporated at section 3 of this Information Booklet.

1.3

Who is eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer

Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 18.6 Shares held at the Record Time (7:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 21 February 2022), at the Offer Price of $3.30 per New Share.

Eligible Retail Shareholders are those Shareholders who:

  • (a) are registered as a holder of a Share at the Record Time, being 7:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 21 February 2022;

  • (b) as at the Record Time have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as recorded on Develop's share register;

  • (c) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent they are holding Shares for the account or benefit of such person in the United States);

  • (d) are not Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders; and

  • (e) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Develop may (in its absolute sole discretion) extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to any institutional shareholder who was eligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer

AUS\BCTS\68250295

10

but was not invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and was not treated as an Ineligible Institutional Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer, (subject to compliance with applicable laws).

Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer is determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal and regulatory requirements, logistical and registry constraints and the discretion of Develop and the Lead Manager. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each of Develop and the Lead Manager and each of their respective affiliates disclaim any duty or liability (including for fault or negligence) in respect of that determination and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion.

1.4

What is your Entitlement

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 18.6 Shares you held at the Record Time, being 7:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 21 February 2022. If the result is not a whole number your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.

Note : The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up; for example, you are not permitted to take up an Entitlement to the extent you are holding Shares for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (see definition of Eligible Retail Shareholders in section 1.3 of this Information Booklet).

1.5 Can you trade your Entitlement

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that your Entitlement is personal to you, is non-transferable, and cannot be sold or traded on ASX (or any other securities exchange), or assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your Entitlements by 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 March 2022, your Entitlement will lapse.

By allowing your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares you would have acquired had you taken up your Entitlement, and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement. Your percentage shareholding in Develop will also be diluted to the extent that New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer.

1.6 Reconciliation

The Entitlement Offer is a complex structure and in some instances Shareholders may believe that they will own more Shares in Develop than they actually do on the Record Date. This results in a need for reconciliation.

If reconciliation is required, it is possible that Develop may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares ( Top Up Shares ) to ensure all Eligible Shareholders receive their full Entitlement. Any Top Up Shares will be issued at the Offer Price.

1.7

ASX quotation

Subject to approval being granted, quotation of the New Shares is expected to commence on:

  • Monday, 28 February 2022, for New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (on a normal settlement basis); and

AUS\BCTS\68250295

11

  • Tuesday, 15 March 2022, for New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer (on a normal settlement basis).

Holding statements will be despatched in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of a holding statement will do so at their own risk.

Develop and the Lead Manager disclaim all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by Develop, the Lead Manager, the Registry or otherwise.

1.8

Ineligible Retail Shareholders

All Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders, Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders are Ineligible Retail Shareholders. Ineligible Retail Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Develop has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders, having regard to:

  • the number of Shares held by Ineligible Retail Shareholders in each applicable jurisdiction;

  • the number and value of New Shares that Ineligible Retail Shareholders in each applicable jurisdiction would be offered; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of Shares to Ineligible Retail Shareholders in each of those places.

1.9 Fractional Entitlements

No fractions of New Shares will be issued. Any fractional Entitlements have been rounded up to the nearest whole number.

1.10 Rights of Develop and the Lead Manager

  • (a) Adjusting Entitlements

Develop reserves the right (in its absolute sole discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

(b) Acknowledgement

By taking up or exercising an Entitlement, Eligible Shareholders irrevocably acknowledge and agree that Develop and the Lead Manager may do anything contemplated by paragraph 1.10(a) above or otherwise in this Information Booklet. Shareholders also acknowledge that:

  • there is no time limit on the ability of Develop and the Lead Manager to require any of the actions set out above; and

  • where Develop and the Lead Manager exercise their right to correct a Shareholder's Entitlement, the Shareholder is treated as continuing to accept or not take up any remaining Entitlement (as the case may be).

ASX Announcement 17 February 2022

Not for release to US wire services or distribution in the United States

Develop agrees to acquire Woodlawn zinc-copper project in NSW for A$30M

Acquisition includes an underground mine, new processing plant, significant JORC Reserve and Resource, all established at a cost of ~A$340m; Initial emphasis will be on growing inventory by extending known high-grade lenses

Key Points

  • Develop has agreed to buy the Woodlawn zinc-copper mine in NSW and the extensive tenement package for A$30m upfront and success-driven milestone payments; Acquisition comes via purchase of Heron Resources Limited (administrators appointed) pursuant to the terms of a DOCA.

  • Acquisition comes with zero debt or creditor obligations

  • Heron completed a substantial re-development of Woodlawn, including construction of a new box-cut, significant underground development and infrastructure to ~300m below surface and a 1.0Mtpa processing plant

  • Woodlawn was put on care and maintenance in 2020 due to ramp-up issues, difficulties stemming from COVID and a corporate strategy which was not suited to this operation

  • Woodlawn has a JORC-compliant Resource of 18.2Mt at 9.8% ZnEq[1] , which includes a high- grade underground Resource of 7.4Mt at 15.2% ZnEq[1]

  • Woodlawn has a JORC-compliant Reserve of 12.4Mt at 7.8% ZnEq[1] , which includes a high-grade underground Reserve of 3.1Mt at 13.1% ZnEq[1 ]

  • The mine had a profitable 20-year operating record, producing 13.8Mt at 19.7% ZnEq[2]

  • The mineralisation is hosted in a VMS geological system with numerous lenses which all remain open at depth

  • Develop’s initial focus will be on growing the mineral inventory by extending the known lenses at depth; It will also undertake infill drilling to upgrade the Inferred Resource and target EM conductors identified by leading consultants NewExco during due diligence

1 See Heron Resources Limited's ASX announcement "Woodlawn Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement 2019" dated 30 October 2019. Develop will complete a review of Heron's previously stated ore reserves and mineral resources (using its own economic assumptions and modifying factors), and will release an updated ore reserve and mineral resource to the market in due course.

2 Data relates to the operational period of the Woodlawn project between 1978 and 1998, and is based on publicly available information reported by Heron. Develop has not independently verified this information. Zn equivalent calculation based on formula applied by Heron in its ASX announcement "Woodlawn Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement 2019" dated 30 October 2019.

21

  • This accelerated growth strategy will involve the immediate construction of 1000m of underground development to enable drilling to be conducted from underground, increasing the speed and reducing the cost of growing the inventory

  • Woodlawn acquisition meets all Develop’s strategic and key investment criteria:

  • Future-facing metals (copper and zinc) in a Tier-1 location

  • World-class geology: Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) system, strong and profitable historic production, significant potential to grow the inventory

  • Outstanding value for money: Purchase price is <10% of the previously invested capital

  • Combination of the Woodlawn acquisition and Develop’s rapidly emerging Sulphur Springs copper-zinc-silver project in the Pilbara will transform the Company into a major base metals group centred on future-facing metals in tier-one locations

  • Develop will be able to leverage its people, particularly its underground mining expertise, across both projects, providing attractive career opportunities in the process

Acquisition Terms and Funding

  • Develop will acquire Woodlawn for A$15m cash and A$15m worth of Develop shares in an upfront consideration. Acquisition comes via purchase of Heron Resources Limited (administrators appointed) pursuant to the terms of a DOCA. DOCA extinguishes historical claims of Heron, enables Develop to acquire Woodlawn unencumbered

  • Develop will also make success-driven milestone payments of up to A$70m in cash or shares (or a combination thereof) at the Company’s election

  • Develop will undertake a fully underwritten A$50m equity raising via a A$25m share placement at A$3.30 per share and an accelerated non renounceable entitlement offer to raise a further A$25m at the same price

  • The offer price under the equity raising is a 5% premium to the five-day VWAP for the period ending on 16 February 2022, reflecting the strong support of existing shareholders

  • Major shareholders Bill Beament (16%) and Mineral Resources (15%) will take up their full entitlements, totalling ~A$8m

  • In addition, Develop intends to issue up to A$1m of additional Develop shares to Develop directors at the same issue price as under the placement and the entitlement offer, subject to shareholder approval

Presentation by Managing Director

  • Develop Managing Director Bill Beament will deliver a presentation on the Woodlawn transaction today at 11am (AEDT) / 8am (AWST). To view the presentation, click on the link below. A recording will also be available shortly after completion of the presentation.

Develop (ASX:DVP) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire the Woodlawn zinc-copper project in NSW for an upfront consideration of A$30 million and success-driven milestone-related payments of up to A$70 million.

The Woodlawn underground mine and processing plant was developed by Heron Resources Limited (Heron), which invested ~A$340 million in the project before it was put on care and maintenance in 2020, and Heron was placed in administration in July 2021.

Develop’s strategy will centre on growing the inventory through an aggressive underground drilling program which will target extensions to the mineralised lenses. These remain open at depth. It will also infill drill the Inferred Resource to improve the geological confidence and target EM conductors identified by leading consultants NewExco during due diligence.

Develop Managing Director Bill Beament said Woodlawn was an exceptional acquisition opportunity.

“Such outstanding acquisition opportunities are extremely rare,” Mr Beament said. “Woodlawn hosts future-facing metals in a tier-one location and meets all our criteria for creating shareholder value.

“It is a substantially-developed project with extensive underground infrastructure and a new processing plant. The previous owners invested ~A$340m to re-establish the operation.

“The geology is first-class, with a VMS system which is under-explored and open in a number of areas. We are very confident that we will be able to grow the inventory rapidly by extending the key lenses using underground drilling.

“The potential to create value for our shareholders through inventory growth is enormous.

“Woodlawn also provides us with a valuable opportunity to further leverage Develop’s team of underground mining specialists, which is a key plank of our growth strategy.”

Woodlawn has a strong and profitable history, producing 13.8Mt at 19.7% ZnEq[3] (Zinc Equivalent) from 1978-1998[2] , when it was closed due to depressed commodity prices and insufficient drilling to extend known mineralisation.

Heron began redeveloping Woodlawn in 2017, investing $340m in Resource/Reserve definition, underground infrastructure and a 1.0Mtpa processing plant. However, the Company encountered rampup challenges and COVID-related issues in 2020, coupled with a corporate strategy that was not suited to this type of operation. As a result of these factors, the project was placed on care and maintenance in 2020.

Acquisition Terms

Develop has entered into binding Co-Operation Deeds with Orion, Nomad and Castlelake who, together, hold in aggregate more than 50% of the value of the total claims against Heron, pursuant to which those creditors have agreed to vote in favour of the deed of company arrangement proposed by Develop ( DOCA ) pursuant to which Develop will acquire Heron (which owns Woodlawn).

3 Data relates to the operational period of the Woodlawn project between 1978 and 1998, and is based on publicly available information reported by Heron. Develop has not independently verified this information. Zn equivalent calculation based on formula applied by Heron in its ASX announcement "Woodlawn Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement 2019" dated 30 October 2019.

23

The DOCA extinguishes historical claims against Heron, to enable Develop to acquire Woodlawn unencumbered.

The consideration payable by Develop comprises:

  • Upfront consideration of A$30 million payable to Heron secured and unsecured creditors on effectuation of the DOCA, comprised of:

  • A$15m payable in cash; and

  • A$15m payable by the issue of new fully paid ordinary shares in Develop at an issue price of $3.14 per share (being the 5 trading day VWAP before the date of the agreements with Heron’s secured creditors)

  • Aggregate contingent consideration of up to A$70 million (in cash or Develop shares, at the Company’s election) payable to Orion subject to certain milestones being met as follows:

  • A$12.5m payable on definition of 550,000 tonnes ZnEq underground JORC Reserves

  • A$7.5m payable on definition of 680,000 tonnes ZnEq underground JORC Reserves

  • A$20.0m payable on a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) in respect of Woodlawn

  • o A$30.0m payable on 18 months of continuous commercial production from Woodlawn

Develop can elect to satisfy the contingent consideration in cash, Develop fully paid ordinary shares or a combination of both. Any issue of shares under the contingent consideration is subject to Develop shareholder approval and will be at the deemed issue prices based on the 5 trading day VWAP prior to the relevant milestone.

The existing Nomad stream arrangement in respect of Woodlawn will remain in place, subject to the following changes:

  • The aggregate amount of silver to be delivered to Nomad will be capped at A$27 million

  • A secondary stream will be introduced in respect of tailings, under which Tarago Operations Pty Ltd (at the hands of Develop) will pay A$1.0 million for every 1Mt of tailings ore processed at a certain tenement at Woodlawn, capped at A$10 million

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to:

  • Approval of the Develop DOCA by the requisite majority of Heron creditors at the Second Creditors’ Meeting for Heron

  • Effectuation of the DOCA occurring which is subject to the following conditions precedent: o court approval of the transfer of the Heron shares to Develop pursuant to section 444GA of the Corporations Act;

  • ASIC relief for the purposes of section 606 of the Corporations Act;

  • ministerial approval for the change of control relating to Heron’s tenements;

  • payment by Develop of A$8.5m to the Administrators, to form part of the trust fund used to provide a distribution to the unsecured creditors of Heron and to pay the Administrators remuneration and expenses; and

  • execution of any documents necessary to release the securities held by Orion, Nomad and Castlelake.

The Second Creditors Meeting for Heron to approve the DOCA is anticipated to be held in late February 2022. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent, completion of the Acquisition to anticipated to occur in April 2022.

Woodlawn Overview and Develop Strategy

Woodlawn is a high-grade VMS base metal system in the world class Lachlan Fold belt in NSW, 250km south-west of Sydney and 40km south of Goulburn.

Historically, the Woodlawn Mine operated from 1978 to 1998 and processed 13.8Mt of ore from the Woodlawn open pit, underground and satellite deposits grading 9.1% Zn, 1.6% Cu, 3.6% Pb, 0.5g/t Au and 74g/t Ag[2] .

Woodlawn has existing high grade Underground Reserves of 3.1Mt @ 13.1% ZnEq and existing Underground Resources of 7.4Mt @ 15.2% ZnEq. Including tailings, Woodlawn would have a total Reserve of 12.4Mt @ 7.8% ZnEq and total Resource of 18.2Mt @ 9.8% ZnEq[1] .

Develop believes that Woodlawn has significant growth potential, having historically

been under-explored and untested at depth. In particular, the Company believes that Woodlawn has strong potential for extensions of existing lenses which are open at depth and along strike, and for the discovery of additional lenses, with logical structural positions untested.

==> picture [457 x 289] intentionally omitted <==

25

Develop’s growth strategy for Woodlawn is to aggressively grow the underground mining inventory over the ~24 to 36 months by investing in ~1,000m of underground development to establish multiple drilling platforms and to subsequently complete a ~33,000m underground diamond drilling program targeting lens extensions, untested EM conductors and additional mineralised horizons. Develop is ultimately aiming to define a robust high-grade 7 to 10 year underground mining inventory, ahead of a potential restart of operations.

Equity Raising Overview

Develop is undertaking a fully underwritten A$50 million equity raising (“ Equity Raising ”) comprising:

  • an institutional placement of approximately 7.6 million new fully paid ordinary shares in Develop (“ New Shares ”) to raise A$25.0 million (“ Placement ”); and

  • a 1-for-18.6 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of approximately 7.6 million New Shares to raise approximately A$25.0 million (“ Entitlement Offer ”).

Key highlights include:

  • The Equity Raising price is at a 5% premium to the 5 day VWAP for the period ending on 16 February 2022 reflecting the strong support of existing shareholders

  • Major shareholders Bill Beament (16%) and Mineral Resources (15%) will take up their full entitlements, totalling ~A$8m

In addition to the Placement and the Entitlement Offer, Develop intends to issue up to A$1 million of New Shares to Develop directors (“ Director Placement ”).

The Director Placement is not underwritten, does not form part of the Equity Raising and is subject to shareholder approval.

Provided shareholder approval is obtained, the Director Placement will be conducted at an issue price of A$3.30 per New Share, being the same price as under the Placement and the Entitlement Offer.

Develop intends to use the funds raised from the Equity Raising as follows:

Develop Managing Director Bill Beament and major shareholder Mineral Resources Limited have indicated their intention to take up their full entitlements in the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and entitlements will not be tradeable or otherwise transferable. Eligible shareholders who do not take up their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer in full or in part, will not receive any value with respect to those entitlements not taken up.

Each New Share issued under the Equity Raising will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in Develop then on issue.

Develop (ASX:DVP) is pleased to announce the completion of the institutional component of its 1 for 18.6 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer and institutional placement at A$3.30 per share.

Develop Managing Director Bill Beament said: "The strong demand for the raising and the premium price at which it was completed reflects the quality of the Woodlawn project, the attractive purchase price and the significant growth potential.

Completion of the Placement and the Institutional Entitlement Offer represents completion of the first stage of Develop's A$50 million equity raising, announced on 17 February 2022 (“ Equity Raising ”).

About Develop

Develop (ASX: DVP) is an exploration and development company with two advanced copper-zinc projects near Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The two projects are the Sulphur Springs Project which includes the Sulphur Springs and Kangaroos Caves deposits, plus 27km of prospective tenements on the Panorama trend; and the JV on the Whim Creek Project, which includes the Resources at the Whim Creek, Mons Cupri and Salt Creek mines together with the Evelyn project and 18,100 ha of prospective tenements over the Whim Creek basin. The Company’s focus is to finance its flagship Sulphur Springs Project, paving the way for its transformation into a new mid-tier ASX-listed base metal producer in the medium term. This will position it to be a long-term supplier of copper and zinc to global markets at a time when significant shortfalls are expected for both metals, especially copper.
