E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T EM E N T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 7
1.1 Placement
As announced on 12 February 2026, the Company received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors via two-tranche placement of Shares at an issue price of $0.038 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise approximately $2,500,000 (before costs) ( Placement ).
The Placement is to be completed in two tranches as set out below:
-
(a) 29,907,489 Placement Shares were issued on 23 February 2026, comprising:
-
(i) 14,268,988 Placement Shares issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity which is available to it under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 15,638,501 Placement Shares issued within the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2),
(together, Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and
-
(b) 35,881,985 Placement Shares will be issued under the second tranche of the Placement, comprising:
-
(i) 34,828,985 Placement Shares to unrelated participants in the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 3; and
-
(ii) an aggregate of 1,053,000 Placement Shares to Directors, Messrs Downes, Chadwick and Purcell, subject to Shareholder approval and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 (being the subject of Resolutions 4 to 6),
(together, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
1.2 Broker Options
- (a) Salient Mandate
The Company engaged Salient Corporate Pty Ltd ( Salient ) under a letter of engagement dated 2 February 2026 ( Salient Mandate ) to provide corporate advisory services and capital raising support, including acting as lead manager to the Placement.
In connection with the lead manager services, the Company agreed to:
(i) pay Salient a capital raising fee of 6% plus GST of the amount raised under the Placement; and
-
(ii) issue Salient (or its nominee) an aggregate of up to 11,000,000 unlisted options, comprising:
-
(A) Class A Broker Options : 7,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.06 each and expiring 3 years from the date of issue; and
-
(B) Class B Broker Options : 4,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.10 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue.
In addition to the above, the Company will pay Salient a $5,000 per month retainer (plus GST). The Salient Mandate also provides for market-based success fees if Salient is engaged in relation to an M&A transaction, including a base
7
success fee and additional percentage-based amounts calculated by reference to the transaction consideration, payable on completion.
The engagement is for a period of 18 months, unless earlier terminated by either party with 3 months’ notice.
The Salient Mandate is otherwise on customary terms.
(b) Taurus Mandate
The Company engaged Taurus Capital Pty Ltd ( Taurus ) under a separate mandate dated 2 February 2026 ( Taurus Mandate ) to provide corporate advisory and consulting services to the Company, including acting as broker to the Placement. In consideration for these services, the Company has agreed to:
(i) issue Taurus (or its nominee) an aggregate of up to 11,000,000 Broker Options, comprising:
-
(A) 7,000,000 Class A Broker Options; and
-
(B) 4,000,000 Class B Broker Options; and
(ii) reimburse reasonable disbursements (capped at $4,000 per calendar month unless prior Board consent is obtained).
The Taurus Mandate can be terminated by either party with 14 days’ notice and is otherwise on customary terms.
The issue of the Class A Broker Options and Class B Broker Options (together, the Broker Options ) to Salient and Taurus is subject to Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 7).
1.3 Use of funds
Funds raised from the Placement will position the Company to continue exploration at its Western Australian gold projects (including multiple planned drill campaigns at both the Company’s Kalgoorlie gold projects and its Yamarna Greenstone belt gold projects), to evaluate new project opportunities, and for general working capital purposes.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 , Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of 29,907,489 Placement Shares on 23 February 2026 to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors who participated in the first tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 1 Participants ).
14,268,988 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 15,638,501 Shares were issued on 23 February 2026 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at its 2025 annual general meeting on 26 November 2025.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity
8
securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
2.5 Information required by Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

3. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
3.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 34,828,985 Placement Shares to unrelated participants in the Placement ( Tranche 2 Participants ).
3.2
Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 which excludes from the restrictions in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of its ordinary securities approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will be forced to consider alternative means of financing its exploration activities.
3.4
Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO DIRECTORS
Resolutions 4 to 6 Shareholder seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 1,053,000 Placement Shares to Directors Jonathan Downes, Mark Chadwick and Graeme Purcell (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below to enable their participation in the Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants ( Participation ).
Further details in respect of the Participation are set out in the table below:
| RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | PARTICIPATION | PARTICIPATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| QUANTUM | FUNDS RAISED | ||
| SHARES | |||
| Jonathan Downes | 4 | 394,921 | $15,007 |
| Mark Chadwick | 5 | 394,921 | $15,007 |
| Graeme Purcell | 6 | 263,158 | $10,000 |
| Total | 1,053,000 | $40,014 |
4.1 Director recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 on the basis that each Director (or their respective nominee(s)) would be permitted to participate in the Placement should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 6 of this Notice.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue will constitute the giving of a financial benefit as the proposed recipients are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The Directors (other than Mr Downes who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Downes on the same terms the Placement Shares issued to unrelated
11
participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Chadwick who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 5 because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Chadwick on the same terms the Placement Shares issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Purcell who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Mr Purcell on the same terms as the Placement Shares issued to unrelated participants in the Placement, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
4.3 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that all of the Directors comprising the Board have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 4 to 6 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 4 to 6 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length terms exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
4.4
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
12
4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares under the Participation within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.3 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Placement Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If any of Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares and the $365,000 that would be raised via the Participation under the Placement will not be raised.
4.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the persons to whom Securities will be issued |
Mr Jonathan Downes (Resolution 4), Mr Mark Chadwick (Resolution 5) and Mr Graeme Purcell (Resolution 6) (or their nominee(s)). |

6. RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES
6.1 Acquisition Agreement
As announced on 30 December 2025, the Company entered into an agreement ( Cazaly Agreement ) with Cazaly Resources Limited ( Cazaly ), pursuant to which the Company was entitled to earn up to an 80% interest in the tenements comprising the Romano Project from Cazaly ( Acquisition ). The earn-in requires $2 million in exploration expenditure within 2 years.
In consideration for the Acquisition, on 6 January 2026 the Company paid $150,000 to Cazaly and issued Cazaly 9,188,764 Shares ( Upfront Consideration Shares ).
Additionally, the Company agreed to pay an additional $150,000 and issue an additional $150,000 worth of Shares on grant of each application of tenements E38/3983, E38/3995, E38/4000 and E38/4002 (each, a Milestone ), at a deemed issue price equal to the 5-day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) prior to the grant date, subject to Shareholder approval ( Deferred Consideration Shares ).
On 12 February 2026, the application for tenement E38/3983 was granted and a Milestone was achieved. Accordingly, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company intends to issue $150,000 worth of Deferred Consideration Shares to Cazaly as soon as practicable following the Meeting.
The Cazaly Agreement otherwise contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of its type. Refer to the Company’s announcement on 30 December 2025 for further information on the Acquisition.
The Company is seeking ratification of the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares under Resolution 8 and Shareholder approval for the issue of Deferred Consideration Shares under Resolution 9 .
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue.
6.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
15
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

8. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO MR STEVE FORMICA
8.1 General
On 6 March 2026 the Company announced the appointment of Mr Steve Formica and Non-Executive Chair.
As part of his remuneration package, the Company has agreed to issue Mr Formica (or his nominee) 10,000,000 Options on the terms and conditions set out below and subject to receipt of Shareholder approval:
| CLASS | QUANTUM | EXERCISE PRICE | EXPIRY DATE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class A Options Class B Options |
5,000,000 | $0.08 | Four (4) years from the date of issue |
| 5,000,000 | $0.12 | Four (4) years from the date of issue |
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 10,000,000 Options to Mr Steve Formica (or his nominee(s).
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 4.2 above.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Steve Formica is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Steve Formica who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Steve Formica, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis. Accordingly, the issue falls within the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 4.4 above.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will consider alternative arrangements to remunerate Steve Formica.
8.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

The Securities will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Steve Formica to motivate and reward his performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Steve Formica, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Steve Formica. |

STEP 1 - APPOINT A PROXY
If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default. DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel. STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise.
