Letter from the Chairman
Dear Investors
On behalf of my fellow Directors, I am pleased to present this Prospectus and offer you the opportunity to participate in the future growth of Dynamic Metals Limited (ACN 659 154 480) ( Dynamic or the Company ).
The Company was incorporated on 24 May 2022 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Jindalee Resources Limited (ACN 064 121 133) ( Jindalee ) (ASX: JRL) for the sole purpose of separating Jindalee’s Australian Assets into a standalone vehicle ( Spin-Off ). Following the Spin-Off, Jindalee will operate as a pure-play US lithium company focussed on the development of the large-scale McDermitt Lithium Project in Oregon.
Over its more than 20-year history as a listed company, Jindalee has grown shareholder value by adopting a “project generator” model, resulting in a large and diversified portfolio of critical minerals projects primarily in Western Australia. Dynamic has been formed as a vehicle to further advance these projects, adding value by employing robust target identification methodology, completing systematic exploration activities, and applying clear decision points to determine whether to continue to fund development, introduce partners or seek to achieve a liquidity event.
Dynamic’s initial portfolio of Australian Assets is comprised of three main mineral projects located in Western Australia, as well as non-contributing interests in several joint ventures over a range of commodities, and a portfolio of early-stage generative projects.
On Admission, the Company’s three main projects will be comprised of:
-
the 100% owned Widgiemooltha Lithium Nickel Project;
-
the 100% owned Lake Percy Lithium Nickel Project; and
-
the 80% owned Deep Well Nickel Copper PGE Project.
The Australian Assets are prospective for a range of “future facing” minerals critical to global efforts to decarbonise industry, being lithium, nickel and PGEs, as well as gold. The Widgiemooltha Lithium Nickel Project will be an initial focus for the Company given its significant land position in this proven lithium and nickel province, which boasts a number of operating mines.
A detailed summary of the Australian Assets is in Section 2.3 and the Independent Technical Assessment Report in Annexure B.
Dynamic will also continually assess opportunities to grow its portfolio of projects with a particular focus on future facing metals and PGEs in Western Australia, or on projects where the Company can use its skills to add value.
Upon successful completion of the Offers and the Spin-Off, the Board of Dynamic believes that it will have sufficient resources to develop the Australian Assets and optimise their potential value. The Company is noteworthy for its dedicated Board and management team, which collectively have many years of experience in the resources industry and a track-record of discovering or acquiring valuable mineral projects.
Under this Prospectus, the Company is seeking to raise up to $7,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of up to 35,000,000 Shares at $0.20 each. The Offers under this Prospectus comprise:
-
an underwritten priority offer to Eligible Jindalee Shareholders to raise up to $2,500,000; and
-
an offer to the general public to raise up to $4,500,000.
7
The proceeds from the Offers will be used to:
-
enable the Company to systematically explore the Australian Assets (see Sections 2.5 to 2.7 for details);
-
fund the Company’s general working capital requirements; and
-
pay corporate and administration costs and the costs of the Offers.
This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Offers and the current and proposed operations of the Company, as well as the risks pertaining to an investment in the Company. Potential investors in the Company should carefully consider those risks (see Section 4).
Before deciding on whether to invest in the Company, you should read this Prospectus carefully and in its entirety, and consult with your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other suitably qualified professional adviser.
We look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder should you decide to participate in the Offers.
Yours faithfully

The Company was incorporated on 24 May 2022 in the state of Western Australia as a minerals exploration and development company, for the sole purpose of demerging the Australian Assets from Jindalee. The Company’s focus will be to advance the exploration activities of the Australian Assets. |
Section 2.1 |
| What is the Company’s business model, growth strategy and key objectives? |
Following Admission, the Company’s primary focus will be to explore the Australian Assets using a variety of geochemical, geophysical and drilling techniques to create value for Shareholders through the discovery and development of mineral deposits. See Section 2.3 for an overview of the Australian Assets. The Company aims to progress from an explorer, subject to the results of its exploration activities, technical studies and availability of appropriate funding, either to development and ultimately production, or to a position in which it may introduce funding partners or realise value in some other way. While the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Australian Assets, the Company will also assess the viability of new business opportunities in the resources sector that complement its business. |
Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 |
| Where does the Company operate and what are its main business activities? |
The Company’s main business activities, being mineral exploration and development, are in Western Australia. The Company will also hold a minority interest in the Prospect Ridge Joint Venture in Tasmania. See the Title Report in Annexure C for project specific location details. |
Section 2.4(a) |
| How does the Company propose to achieve its objectives? |
The Company intends to achieve its objectives by advancing exploration across its portfolio of projects; adding value by employing robust target identification methodology, completing systematic exploration activities and applying clear decision pointes to determine whether to continue to fund development, introduce partners or seek to achieve a liquidity event. |
Section 2.6 |
| What are the key dependencies of the Company’s business |
The key dependencies include: • ongoing access to capital for project exploration and development; • maintaining title to the Tenements; |

|
| Will the Company require more capital? |
The Company’s planned exploration activities and business strategy generally as set out in Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7will initially be funded by the funds raised by the Offers. However, the Directors anticipate the Company will in the future require additional capital to further its proposed project generator model. The amount and nature of any such additional funding will be determined based on market conditions and the needs of the business at the relevant time. |
Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 |
| Key risks | ||
| Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities in the Company involves a number of risks and uncertainties. The risk factors summarised in Section 4, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Securities in the future. An investment in the Company should be considered speculative. Investors may lose some or all of their investment. A non-exhaustive list of the key risk factors affecting the Company is provided below. Investors should refer to Section 4 for a more detailed summary of risks. The occurrence of any one of the risks below could adversely impact the Company’s operating and financial performance and prospects. |
||
| Exploration, development and operational risk |
A number of factors will influence the Company’s ability to pursue its exploration, development and operational activities. These include, amongst others, the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary regulatory consents and approvals, retain or engage appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants, access to equipment, materials and infrastructure, as well as access to adequate capital on acceptable terms and acts beyond the control of the Company. Geological and weather conditions, unforeseen costs, plant or equipment failures, accidents, natural disasters, pandemics, industrial disputes and/or social unrest may also interrupt operations. |
Section 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) |
| Limited operating history |
The Company was incorporated on 24 May 2022 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector (including those set out in Section 4.2), which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, its projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from projects, it is likely to incur operational losses. |
Section 4.1(c) |
| Future capital requirements |
Exploration and development involve significant financial risk and capital investment. Even incircumstanceswhere theMaximum |

| and funding risk |
Subscription is raised, the Company is expected to require further capital to achieve its ultimate strategy of transitioning from explorer to producer. Also, it is possible further capital may be required at an earlier stage if any risks, including those described in Section 4, materialise, or equally new and superior opportunities materialise. |
4.1(d) |
| Joint venture risk |
On Admission, Dynamic will hold a majority (80%) interest in a joint venture for the Deep Well Project. Dynamic will also hold non- contributing interests in several joint ventures. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate formal joint venture agreements on terms favourable to the Company. The Company may also be adversely affected by the financial failure, withdrawal or default of its joint venture partners. This may have an adverse effect on the operations and performance of the Company. |
Section 4.1(e) |
| Conditionality of the Offers |
The Offers are conditional on the successful implementation of the Spin-Off. To implement the Spin-Off, Jindalee must obtain shareholder approval for the disposal of the Australian Assets to Dynamic. Unless Jindalee Shareholders vote in favour of the disposal by the requisite majority, Dynamic will not be able to acquire the Australian Assets and the Offers will not proceed. The Spin-Off is also subject to a number of other conditions precedent which, if not satisfied or waived, will prevent the Spin-Off from completing and the Company will not be able to proceed with the Offers. |
Section 4.1(f) |
| Land access arrangements and native title risk |
The Company may be required to negotiate access arrangements and pay compensation to land owners, local authorities, traditional land users and others who may have an interest in the area covered by a mining tenement. Access is critical for exploration and development to succeed. The Company’s ability to resolve access and compensation issues will have an impact on the future success and financial performance of Dynamic’s operations. |
Sections 4.1(l), 4.1(m) and 4.1(n) |
| Exploration costs |
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. 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. |
Section 4.2(a) |
| Environmental risk |
The Company is subject to several laws and regulations relating to the environmental impact of its current and future intended activities, including rehabilitation. There is no guarantee that necessary environmental approvals for its proposed activities will be approved in a timely manner or be forthcoming at all. Changes to environmental laws may result in the cessation or reduction of the Company’s activities or materially increase planned exploration or development costs. Penalties for failure to adhere to requirements or, in the event of environmental damage, remediation costs can be substantial. |
Section 4.2(b) |
| Commodity and currency price risk |
It is anticipated that any future revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of minerals including nickel, gold and lithium. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of such commodities. It is impossible to predict commodity prices with confidence, which are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. A material and extended fall incommodity priceswill likely affect the timing andviability ofthe |

On these bases and after considering ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors do not believe they have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings and accordingly forecast financials are not included in this Prospectus. |

1.9 Effect on the control of the Company
Lindsay Dudfield (Non-Executive Director) is an executive director of Jindalee and a substantial shareholder, holding a relevant interest in 25.70% of the issued share capital of Jindalee.
In accordance with section 608(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, Mr Dudfield is deemed to have a relevant interest in the 12,500,000 Shares to be issued to Jindalee as consideration for the Australian Assets by virtue of his substantial shareholding in Jindalee (being 25.70% at the Prospectus Date).
At the Prospectus Date, Mr Dudfield has indicated to the Company that he intends to take up 750,000 Shares under the Priority Offer.
Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a person, unless an exception applies, from increasing their voting power in the Company:
-
(a) from 20% or below to above 20%; or
-
(b) from a starting point of above 20% and below 90%.
One of the exceptions to section 606(1) is where that increase occurs as a result of an issue under a disclosure document. Accordingly, on completion of the Offers, Mr Dudfield will have a relevant interest in 34.07% of the issued Share capital of the Company (on a Minimum Subscription basis). This increase would fall within the exception pursuant to section 611 (Item 12) of the Corporations Act.

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

(A) Dordie Far West
Dordie Far West is located on the northwest margin of the Widgiemooltha Dome on granted E15/1680. Nickel mineralisation at Dordie Far West was discovered by drilling completed by Mincor Resources NL (ASX: MCR) in the late 2000s.
A total of 16 rotary air blast ( RAB ) drilling and aircore ( AC ) drilling holes for 759 metres and 5 reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling holes for 525m were drilled by Mincor over a 2km northwest trend. Geological interpretation of the drilling data shows mineralisation hosted within the keel of a synform in the ultramafic stratigraphy.
Historic drill intercepts at Dordie Far West include:
-
MAC069 from 27m, 3m at 0.5% Ni
-
MAC075 from 4m, 2m at 1% Ni
-

(B) Sunday Soak
The Sunday Soak anomaly is located along the same greenstone unit at Franks Find 13km to the northwest and is the most western greenstone stratigraphy of the Widgiemooltha Dome. Previous AC drilling by Reward Mining in 1997 returned anomalous results with holes drilled vertically and spaced 40m apart with the strike extent open. Results include:
-
WMA 1348 from 56m, 4m at 0.46% Ni
-
WMA 1349 from 56m 4m at 0.4% Ni
(C) Pioneer Dome West and South
South of Chalice Gold Mine, previous drilling shows ultramafic stratigraphy and strong nickel anomalism at beneath shallow cover over 10km.
Pioneer Dome West is a broad target area on the western side of the Pioneer Dome. The immediate area has been subject to significant gold exploration and Dynamic has identified an opportunity to test the ultramafic stratigraphy for nickel sulphide mineralisation.
(D)
Democrat A1 A3 A5
At A5 nickel anomalism is associated with a basal stratigraphic position drilled by WMC Resources Ltd in the mid to late 1990s.
Nickel mineralisation at A1 was identified during gold exploration by Acacia Resources Ltd in 1996. Two significant nickel results within ultramafic stratigraphy were returned from AC drilling near a prominent magnetic feature that is interpreted to be a trough structure. The anomalous nickel results and their position in relation to the interpreted trough structure justify further nickel exploration efforts.

(A)
Mandilla Southeast
The Mandilla Southeast project tenement is located between the western Kunanalling Shear, and the eastern Zuleika Shear. Gold mineralisation at Mandilla held by Astral Resources Ltd, 2km to the north northwest, is related to north-south trending major thrust faults known as the “Spargoville Trend”. The Spargoville Trend contains four linear belts of mafic to ultramafic lithologies (the Coolgardie Group) with intervening felsic rocks (the Black Flag Group) forming an anticline modified and repeated by intense faulting and shearing.
The Mandilla West and Mandilla East gold mineralisation trends are around 3km directly along strike from E15/1645. The mineralisation appears to strike along several splays subparallel to the Emu Rocks Granite to the east. In 2007, around 200m northeast of the tenement boundary Anglo Australian Resources NL returned two drill hole results of:
-
MNAC816 from 47m, 5m at 1.6 g/t including 1m at 6.91 g/t Au from 47m
-
MNAC817 from 54m, 4m at 1.19g/t Au including 1m at 3.76 g/t Au from 55m
45
(B) Junction West and Junction East
3km west of the Junction deposit, anomalous gold was drilled by St Ives Gold Mining Company Pty Ltd in the early 2000s over three lines over 1.3km strike. The Junction West prospect is located between the Junction and Argo mines approximately 5km west of Junction gold deposit on Lake Lefroy.
In 2010-2012, AC drilling on 160m by 80m spacing returned the following gold anomalies:
-
TD9920 from 32, 2m at 1.36 g/t Au (transported cover)
-
TD9921 from 32m 2m at 0.42 g/t Au (transported cover)
-
TD9923 from 40m 5m at 0.24 (hematite altered sandstone)
-
TD9924 from 32m 2m at 0.2 g/t Au (transported cover)
-
TD9924 from 42m, 2m at 0.23 g/t Au (chlorite altered felsic porphyry with quartz veins)
-
TD9929 from 40m 1m at 0.29 g/t Au (hematite altered felsic porphyry)
-
TD12364 from 46m, 6m at 0.41 g/t Au (lower saprolite)
-
TD12400 from 46m 2m at 0.55 g/t Au (mottled zone)
In 2012, results from three follow up RC holes drilled to test for bedrock mineralisation were:
-
TD12748 from 23m 4m at 1.22 g/t Au (upper saprolite)
-
TD12748 from 43m, 8m at 3.95 g/t Au (upper to lower saprolite), including 2m at 10.62 g/t Au from 47m
-
TD12746 from 78m 5m at 0.47 g/t Au (upper to lower saprolite)
At Junction East, ten vertical AC holes were drilled by Goldfields Australasia Pty Ltd in 2013 for 556m to test the sheared contact of the granite with the tripod Hill Komatiite and the Black Flag sediment package to identify any low-level anomalous gold. The holes were drilled on two east west trending lines with holes between 80 and 40m apart.
The best intercepts from this program are listed below:
-
TD12814 from 22m, 2m at 0.46 g/t Au (felsic porphyry)
-
TD12814 from 60m 2m at 0.114 g/t Au (felsic porphyry)
-
TD12815 from 48m, 2m at 0.27 g/t Au (felsic porphyry)
-
TD12815 from 60m 2m at 0.26 g/t Au (felsic porphyry)
(C) Caspian
E15/1691 is 15km south-east of Higginsville and located entirely within Lake Cowan with geology concealed under lake sediments. Early regional data compilation indicated potential for gold prospectivity in hosting greenstone/gabbro sequences. The initial gold mineralisation targets were ‘deep lead’ paleochannel mineralisation and primary mineralisation in the basement, of the same nature as the Challenge-Swordsman ‘deep lead’ (>200K oz) and the Trident mine hosted in gabbro (>1M oz) at the nearby Higginsville Gold Centre. Regional evaluation highlights the nearest outcropping greenstones at Eundynie, to the north of the Lake Cowan tenement, which are also highly mineralised with historical mining activity.
46
Drilling reported by Newmont in 1989 shows AC holes returning significant results such as:
-
P014 from 18m, 6m at 2.7 g/t Au
-
P020 from 40m, 5m at 0.75 g/t Au
AC drilling programs completed in 2008, confirmed that the tenement includes a prospective package of greenstones that comprise ultramafic rocks, gabbros, magnesium rich basalts and sedimentary rocks under a variable thickness of younger (Cenozoic to recent) sedimentary cover. Elevated gold and arsenic values were obtained that defined thee zones of encouraging anomalism within basement characterised by gossanous quartz veining. The main anomaly at Caspian is an 800m x 400m >0.5 g/t gold anomaly within a 250ppm arsenic anomaly. The best gold result intersected 3m @ 3.4 g/t in a highly altered gabbro containing gossanous quartz. A coincident zone of magnetic destruction can be interpreted within the gabbro from the ground magnetic survey.
In order to test the Caspian anomaly, three diamond holes were drilled in December 2011 for a total of 579m.
The recovered core showed a favourable (basaltic to gabbroic) host rock for gold mineralisation with zones of strong alteration. This alteration was characterised by carbonate, biotite, chlorite, sericite, and albite with sulphides consisting of pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. A dilational zone promoting fluid flow was evidenced by structure dominated by sub vertical to east dipping foliation and shearing, with late cutting quartz vein breccias. Despite the promising alteration and structure, no significant gold mineralisation was returned, with the exception of a thin intersection, which intersected 0.1m @ 1.43g/t Au from 140.1m. The intersection occurred in quartz-carbonate-biotite veining with minor iron oxide.
Detailed follow up AC drilling by Mincor Resources NL in 2008, returned highlights of:
-
LCA125 from 94m to 94.2m, 0.2m at 2.99 g/t Au at end of hole.
-
LCA213 from 58m, 1m at 0.5 g/t Au
-
LCA230 from 75m, 6m at 0.42 g/t Au
-
LCA239 from 24m, 3m at 1.72g/t Au
-
LCA271 from 69m, 3m at 0.79 g/t Au and 0.28% Cu at end of hole
(D) Higginsville Northeast
P15/6246 is located 2.5km east of the Higginsville, Poseidon North, South and Trident Gold Deposits. Four AC drillholes have been completed on the tenement for 240m in 2000 by WMC Limited in a Joint Venture with Resolute Ltd.
Two of the holes 80m apart returned anomalous gold with WID 4253 returning mineralisation at the end of the hole. Mineralisation is open along strike to the north and south:
-
WID4252 from 28m, 4m at 0.41 g/t Au
-
WID4253 from 26m 6m at 1.14 g/t Au and from 48m to EOH (57m), 9m at 0.88 g/t Au including 2m at 5.2 g/t Au from 50m
47
(E) Franks Find Southeast
On E15/1705 the northwest to southeast trending Franks Find trend has been explored actively by soil sampling and drilling since the mid-1980s with companies such as CSR Ltd, WMC Ltd, Resolute Ltd, Avoca/Alacer Resources Ltd, Westgold Resources Limited and Metals X Limited conducting work.
A total of 369 RAB holes for 12168m, 491 AC holes for 20697 and 16 RC holes for 926m has been completed. Mineralisation is reported to be within foliated dolerite within foliation parallel quartz veins and tension gashes and is associated with arsenic. The Franks Find underground workings, where around 2017 tonnes of ore mined underground at 12.7 g/t was recorded, are 3km northwest of the northern most prospect.
Results from historical drilling include:
-
FFP19 from 15m, 4m at 2.78 g/t Au
-
FFP20A from 14m, 4m at 2.78 g/t Au at end of hole
-
WID4009 from 35m, 3m @ 8.64 g/t Au (inc. 1m @ 19.8ppm Au)
Best results returned from WMC/Goldfields RAB drilling in the mid2000s were:
-
WMR148 from 42m, 4m at 1.04 g/t Au
-
WMR149 from 50m, 4m at 1.04 g/t Au
-
WMR164 from 38m, 2m at 3.11 g/t Au
(F)
Cognac West and Remy
E15/1753 and E15/1900 applications are located 14km south of the Junction Gold deposit, owned and operated by Goldfields Australasia Pty Ltd, and 9km north of the Napoleon, Artreides, Josephine and Louise paleochannel gold deposits which form part of the Higginsville historic gold project. The Remy and Cognac West prospects were discovered by AngloGold Australia Ltd in the late 1990s at part of their Lake Cowan Project.
48
(v) Previous exploration – Lithium
==> picture [359 x 359] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Widgiemooltha tenure with lithium highlights
(A) Franks Find South East
In addition to gold prospectivity, the Franks Find area is prospective for lithium with open file drilling showing bottom of hole anomalism. In addition, the North Dome Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum ( LCT ) pegmatites held by Essential Metals are located 4km to the southeast of the tenement boundary.
The prospect geology consists of a north trending zone of undivided metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks trending northwest dipping east and is probably a folded thrust repetition of the greenstone stratigraphy west of the Pioneer Dome.
In 2012 Avoca Resources Ltd drilled fences of RAB and AC holes to bedrock nominally on 300m spaced lines and 70m spaced along the lines. Some infill drilling occurred in areas of gold anomalism. The holes were assayed for gold only, however the bottom of hole samples were assayed for multi-elements by four acid digest with an ICP-OES finish. Therefore, all lithium assays are bottom of hole spot sample results. A lithium anomaly 8km southeast of Franks Find is on three consecutive drill lines covering over 600m strike, containing five anomalous drillholes over 80ppm Li, with a peak anomaly of
49
853ppm Li. Associated anomalous elements are Be, Sn Ta Cs which are all associated with LCT pegmatites.
(c) Lake Percy Project

Figure 6: Lake Percy tenure with lithium and nickel highlights
(ii)
Project description
The Lake Percy Project consists of two Exploration Licences and four exploration licence applications in the South-Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Access from Perth is via the Brookton Highway from Perth east to Hyden and then via the Hyden-Norseman Road. Alternatively, access is via the sealed Great Eastern Highway to Southern Cross then south via the Marvel Loch-Forrestania Road until the road intersects the Hyden Norseman Road.
Access to the project tenements is via dirt tracks and cleared grid lines. The tenements are accessed along either the Nevoria or Mount Day tracks.
(iii) Previous exploration
Exploration for nickel in the Lake Percy Area dates back to the late 1960s and early 1970s when Kennecott first explored for nickel. In the late 1970s Anaconda Australia also explored for nickel followed by gold exploration in
50
the late 1980s and early 1990s by Forrestania Gold and Aztec Mining Co Ltd before Maggie Hays Nickel recommenced nickel exploration in the early to mid-1990s. The ground was then held and sporadically explored by LionOre Australia (Nickel) Ltd and Norilsk Nickel Australia Ltd and then sold by Norilsk to Poseidon Nickel who ultimately relinquished the southern part of the project area in the early 2010s and the northern part in 2018. In 2012 White Cliffs NL commenced nickel exploration on the southern part of the project, drilling RC and diamond holes and conducting further EM surveying before joint venturing with Liontown Resources Ltd in 2016 who explored for pegmatite hosted lithium. Jindalee applied for the area in 2019 and 2021.
Historic nickel exploration has largely consisted of extensive costeaning, mapping, ground and airborne EM, and RAB, AC, RC and diamond drilling along the basal ultramafic trends which host cumulate and thin flow ultramafics interleaved with BIF, mafic volcanics and sediments. From the mid-1990s exploration was conducted for nickel sulphides by Aztec Mining and the Lake Johnston joint venture partners (LionOre, formerly Maggie Hays Nickel). The best nickel results are associated with the southern unit, where a siliceous lateritic cap overlies the ultramafic unit. Several diamond holes have tested deeper into fresh rock, including LJPC075 which intersected 7m at 0.73% Ni from 117m.
Gold exploration in the Lake Percy area focused on regional sampling in areas deemed amenable to near surface soil and auger sampling, identifying a number of large gold anomalies the most significant being centred over the basal western contact of the western most ultramafic unit. Limited wide spaced follow up RAB drilled failed to identify a regolith or bedrock source to the soil anomalism.
Lithium exploration by Liontown in joint venture with White Cliff Minerals drill tested outcropping areas of pegmatite, where surface soil and rock chips indicated elevated lithium.
In 2016, Liontown drilled 6 RC holes to test pegmatite targets. Chips were assayed for Li, Sn, Ta and Nb. No anomalies were returned.
LPDD006 drilled by White Cliff Minerals intersected a pegmatite interval with lithium values up to 659 ppm.

(d) Deep Well Project
(i) Project map
==> picture [359 x 388] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7: Location Map for Deep Well Project with regional geology and structural interpretation
(ii)
Project description
The Deep Well project is located approximately 30km east to southeast of Meekatharra. The access is via Murchison Downs Road, Goldfields Highway and numerous pastoral station tracks within the Sherwood and Murchison Downs pastoral leases.
(iii) Exploration history
Within the project tenement area, from 1995-1999 Mines and Resources Australia Pty Ltd ( MRA ) drilled 44 first pass reconnaissance RAB holes along wide spaced traverses.
In 2015 and 2016 Doray Minerals Limited, in joint venture with Mithril Resources Ltd, conducted an airborne geophysical survey over the project area as part of the regional aeromagnetic survey flown across the whole Andy Well-Gnaweeda tenement package. The survey was designed to increase the quality and resolution of existing aeromagnetic datasets and to
52
improve the resolvable geological and structural detail for more accurate target identification.
Doray drilled 12 AC holes for a total of 394m with drilling testing the southern belt potential to host economic gold mineralisation as the continuation of the prospective Archean stratigraphy hosting the Turnberry gold deposit to the north. The drilling comprised 40m spaced holes on east west oriented lines perpendicular to the north south trending stratigraphy. Most of the gold values were below the detection limit of 1ppb. The main lithologies encountered were granitoids with minor felsic volcanics, mafic dolerites and ultramafics. No samples were assayed for nickel or PGEs.
Alicanto Resources conducted rock chip sampling and resampling of the bottom of hole samples from the MRA RAB holes from the late 1990s returning anomalous gold and base metal results.
Over the course of several field trips, geological reconnaissance work by M61 in 2021 has resulted in the collection of a total of 53 gossan, laterite, saprolite and drill chip spoil pile samples. Analysis has been undertaken for precious and multi-elements, along with 10 samples for whole rock geochemistry.
Assaying returned a series of strongly anomalous Ni, Cu, Co, Au, Pt and Pd results associated with gossanous material over a strike length of 6km. Some rocks have MgO values up to 30% indicating an ultramafic precursor. Two areas with strong anomalism are also associated with discrete magnetic highs.
2.5 Proposed exploration
(a) Widgiemooltha Project
The exploration budget allows for exploration at every stage of the pipeline across the diverse commodity portfolio. The first phase of exploration will focus on developing the lithium target through surface sampling, geological mapping and auger drilling.
The exploration budget for the Widgiemooltha Project is allocated to:
-
(i) RC drilling the Dordie Far West nickel target;
-
(ii) AC drilling at the Sunday Soak nickel target; and
-
(iii) AC drilling at the Mandilla and Higginsville gold targets.
The information generated from the above drill programs will be used for geological and geochemical studies to generate follow up drilling targets. The budget also has provision for targeted surface geochemistry programmes which will be undertaken to generate further gold and nickel targets within the Widgiemooltha Project.
(b) Lake Percy Project
The Lake Percy exploration budget includes provision for early stage lithium exploration work, including surface geological mapping and sampling.
The exploration budget for the Lake Percy Project is allocated to an AC drilling program to be conducted in two phases. The drilling targets areas of historic nickel drill hole anomalism coincident with prospective magnetic features. The information derived from each phase of the AC drilling will improve the geological and
53
geochemical understanding of the nickel mineralising environment to generate deeper drilling targets.
(c) Deep Well Project
The exploration budget for the Deep Well Project is allocated to completion of a heritage survey to allow for an initial scout AC drilling program to test the nickel targets generated by rock chip sampling completed to date. The information generated by the scout drilling will be used for geological and geochemical studies and to define targets that require deeper drill testing.
(d)
Generative Tenements
Exploration budgets proposed for the Generative Tenements include geological studies and targeted surface geochemical surveys.
2.6 Business strategy and objectives of the Company
Following Admission, the Company’s primary focus will be to explore the Tenements using a variety of geochemical, geophysical and drilling techniques to create value for Shareholders through the discovery and development of mineral deposits. This primary focus comprises the objectives the Company is seeking to achieve from its Admission and the Offers.
The Company proposes to adopt a “project generator model”. Its business strategy will be to add value by employing robust target identification methodology, completing systematic exploration activities, and applying clear decision points to determine whether to continue to fund development, introduce partners or seek to achieve a liquidity event. The Company will achieve this strategy by:
-
(a) systematically exploring existing and developing new lithium targets at Widgiemooltha and Lake Percy via surface sampling, surface geological mapping and drilling;
-
(b) determining nickel and gold potential at the Widgiemooltha, Lake Percy and Deep Well Projects with an immediate focus on AC drilling at Sunday Soak, Mandilla, Higginsville Area, Lake Percy and Deep Well targets and further defining the potential via infill AC drilling;
-
(c) determining the potential for economic nickel mineralisation at Dordie Far West Prospect by RC drilling;
-
(d) determining the prospectivity of lithium, nickel and gold prospects on the Generative Tenements;
-
(e) undertaking systematic exploration activities on the Tenements, with the aim of discovering an economic mineral deposit;
-
(f) undertaking economic and technical assessments of the Tenements in line with industry standards (for example, the completion of a scoping study, then a prefeasibility study, followed by a definitive feasibility study); and
-
(g) subject to the outcome of its economic and technical assessments of the Tenements, either undertaking (alone or with partners) project development and construction, or seeking to achieve a liquidity event.
Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the existing Tenements, as with most exploration entities, it will also assess new business opportunities in the resource sector that complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct
54
equity participation, all of which would complement the Company’s existing mineral portfolio. The Board will assess the suitability of investment opportunities by utilising its experience in evaluating projects with reference to the objectives of the Company.
2.7 Proposed exploration budget
The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the table below from the proceeds of the Offers. It should be noted that the budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Tenements and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. Subject to the above, the following budget takes into account the proposed expenses over the two years following Admission to complete initial exploration of the Tenements.

(c) maintaining title to the Tenements;
-
(d) maintaining existing and securing additional necessary consents and approvals required to carry out exploration activities; and
-
(e) retaining and attracting competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced directors, employees, contractors and consultants.
2.11 Dividend policy
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing business.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings, operating results, the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. The Company cannot give any assurances in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits.

3. Australian tax considerations
3.1 Australian tax considerations
This Section provides a general overview of the Australian tax consequences for investors who acquire Shares through the Priority Offer and the Public Offer. The comments in this Section are based on the Australian taxation laws (including established interpretations of those laws) as at the Prospectus Date, which may change.
This Section is general in nature and is not intended to be an authoritative or a complete statement of the Australian taxation laws. It should be noted that the Australian taxation laws are complex and the investor’s own circumstances will affect the taxation outcomes of making an investment in Shares through the Priority Offer and the Public Offer. It is therefore recommended that investors seek independent professional advice, having regard to their own specific circumstances, in considering an investment in Shares through the Priority Offer and the Public Offer.
The categories of investors considered in this summary are limited to individuals, complying superannuation entities and certain companies, trusts or partnerships, each of whom holds their shares on capital account.
This summary does not consider the consequences for investors who are recipients of the Advisor Offer, recipients of the Executive and Consultants Options and the Non-Executive Director Options, insurance companies, banks, investors that hold their shares (or entitlements) on revenue account or as traditional securities, carry on a business of trading in shares, investors who acquired shares/options in connection with an employee share scheme or as consideration for services performed, or investors who are exempt from Australian tax. This summary also does not cover the consequences for investors who are subject to Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (the Taxation of Financial Arrangements or TOFA regime). Both resident and non-resident investors should seek professional advice to determine if Shares are held in this capacity (and the corresponding income tax implications should this apply). All Shareholders are advised to seek independent professional advice regarding the acquisition of their Shares, having regard to their own specific circumstances.
Deloitte Tax Services Pty Ltd, a registered tax agent, has provided the tax comments below. Deloitte Tax Services Pty Ltd is not licensed under Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act to provide financial product advice. Taxation issues, such as those covered by this Section, are only some of the matters you need to consider when making a decision about a financial product. You should consider taking advice from someone who holds an AFSL before making such a decision.
3.2 Entitlements under the Priority Offer
Having an entitlement to subscribe for Shares under the Priority Offer should not, in and of itself, generally result in any amount being included in assessable income (refer further to the discussion in the following section).
Shareholders who take up their entitlement and acquire Shares under the Priority Offer will generally acquire those Shares with a cost base for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes equal to the Offer Price paid by them for those Shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring them. The Shares acquired under the Priority Offer should generally be taken to have been acquired on the day the entitlements were exercised for CGT purposes
59
(exercise of the entitlement for CGT purposes should generally occur when a Shareholder makes an application under the Priority Offer).
Shareholders should not generally make a capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from taking up their entitlement to participate in the Priority Offer or subscribing for Shares.
Shareholders who do not take up all or part of their entitlement to participate in the Priority Offer generally should not make a capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from non-participation in the Priority Offer as no separate consideration is to be received by them in this circumstance.
Certain Australian tax and stamp duty implications of acquiring and holding Shares are discussed in further detail in the following sections of Section 3.
3.3 Jindalee Shareholders participating in the Priority Offer
The Spin-Off of Dynamic from Jindalee and the IPO (of themselves) should have no material adverse direct Australian tax implication for Jindalee Shareholders.
On the basis that shares in Dynamic will not be distributed in-specie to Jindalee Shareholders (i.e. Jindalee will retain direct ownership of all its shares in Dynamic), Jindalee will not be seeking a taxation ruling from the Australian Taxation Office seeking demerger tax relief for Australian income tax purposes.
The fact that Jindalee Shareholders will be given a Priority Offer to subscribe for Dynamic shares brings into question whether the Priority Offer gives rise to some form of dividend or income for Jindalee Shareholders (e.g. to the extent that the Priority Offer rights have value).
As the Priority Offer is not for a subscription of shares in Jindalee (but rather in Dynamic), the specific section (section 59-40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) making such rights non-assessable non-exempt should not apply. Therefore, the value of the Priority Offer right is relevant. Given that, inter alia, the right does not give Jindalee Shareholders the ability to subscribe for Dynamic shares at a discount and the rights are non-transferrable / cannot be sold, it is unlikely that the rights have any material value. Therefore, it is unlikely that the rights would give rise to any material form of dividend or income to Jindalee Shareholders.
If the priority rights are not taken up, there should be no adverse income tax implications to Jindalee Shareholders. If the priority rights are taken up, refer to the above comments in terms of the acquisition of Dynamic Shares.
3.4 Participating in the Public Offer
Participating in the Public Offer should not, in and of itself, generally result in any amount being included in assessable income.
Shareholders who acquire Shares under the Public Offer will generally acquire them with a cost base for CGT purposes equal to the Offer Price paid by them for those Shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring them. The Shares acquired under the Public Offer should generally be taken to have been acquired when the contract under the Public Offer arises for CGT purposes (the contract for CGT purposes should generally arise when the Company accepts the application of the applicant under the Public Offer).
Certain Australian tax and stamp duty implications of acquiring and holding Shares acquired under the Priority Offer are discussed in further detail in the following sections of Section 3.
60
3.5 Dividends on a Share – Australian tax residents
Dividends may be paid to Shareholders in respect of their Shares. “Franking credits” may be attached to such dividends. Franking credits broadly represent the extent to which a dividend is paid out of profits that have been subject to Australian income tax. It is possible for a dividend to be fully franked, partly franked or unfranked.
Australian tax resident Shareholders will be required to include dividends in their assessable income in the income year in which the dividends are paid. To the extent that the dividends are franked, subject to the comments below, the associated franking credits should also be included in the Australian tax resident Shareholder’s assessable income (i.e. the dividends are required to be “grossed-up”). In such circumstances, Shareholders are subject to tax at their applicable rate of tax on the grossed-up dividends received (but may be entitled to a tax offset for the associated franking credits as discussed below).
To the extent that the dividends are unfranked, there is no gross-up (or tax offset) and Australian tax resident Shareholders are subject to tax at their applicable rate of tax on the unfranked dividends received.
The distribution statement for the dividends paid should advise of the franking status of the dividends.
(a) Australian resident individuals and complying superannuation entities
To the extent that the franking credits received by Shareholders that are Australian tax resident individuals or complying superannuation entities exceeds the amount of total income tax payable, those Shareholders should be entitled to a refund from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) of any excess franking credits over and above total income tax payable in an income year. Where the franking credits are less than the tax payable on the dividends, those Shareholders may need to pay an additional amount of tax.
(b) Trusts and partnerships
In relation to Shareholders that are trusts (other than trustees of complying superannuation entities or trusts treated as companies for tax purposes) or partnerships, such Shareholders should include any franking credits in determining the net income of the trust or partnership. The relevant beneficiary or partner may then be entitled to a corresponding tax offset, subject to certain requirements being satisfied.
In relation to trusts or partnerships, including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding the taxation of dividends are complex and advice should be sought to confirm the appropriate taxation considerations and treatment.
(c)
Corporate Shareholders
Shareholders that are Australian tax resident companies (including those which are deemed to be companies) are also entitled to a tax offset equal to the amount of franking credits received, however unlike non-corporate Shareholders, they are unable to claim refunds for excess franking credits. Where excess franking credits exist, a corporate Shareholder should be entitled to have the surplus credits converted into carry forward tax losses.
Corporate Shareholders (including those which are deemed to be companies) should also be entitled to a franking credit in their franking accounts equal to the franking credits received in respect of the dividends. A corporate Shareholder may be able to then use the credits to make franked distributions to its Shareholders.
61
(d) Qualified person rules
There are certain limitations imposed by the Australian taxation law which may prevent a Shareholder from obtaining the benefit of any franking credits. In this regard, Shareholders seeking to claim tax offsets for franking credits must be “qualified persons” in respect of the relevant dividends.
In broad terms, Shareholders who have held their Shares “at risk” for at least 45 days (excluding the dates of acquisition and disposal) should be qualified persons and should be able to claim a tax offset for the amount of franking credits received.
Special rules apply to arrangements which involve the making of related payments to pass on the benefit of any dividends paid, or in the context of franked dividends received via trusts or partnerships. Under the related payment rule, a different testing period applies where an investor or an associate of the investor has made, or is under an obligation to make, a related payment in relation to a dividend. A related payment is one where an investor or their associate effectively passes on the benefit of the dividend to another person.
Individual Australian Shareholders whose total franking tax offsets (for all franked distributions received in the income year) do not exceed $5,000 for the income year should generally be deemed to be qualified persons (provided also that no related payments are made with respect to the dividend).
Investors should seek professional advice to determine if these requirements, as they apply to them, have been satisfied.
(e) Integrity rules
A specific integrity rule prevents taxpayers from obtaining a tax benefit from franking credits where dividends are received as a result of “dividend washing”. Dividend washing is a practice through which taxpayers seek to claim two sets of franking credits by selling shares held on the ASX ex-dividend and then effectively repurchasing a substantial equivalent parcel of shares cum-dividend on a special ASX trading market.
Shareholders should consider the impact of these provisions (and other dividend tax integrity provisions) having regard to their own personal circumstances.
3.6 Dividends on a Share – non-Australian tax residents
Generally, unfranked dividends paid to Shareholders that are non-Australian tax residents should be subject to dividend withholding tax. To the extent that distributions to non-residents include unfranked dividends (which are not declared to be conduit foreign income – see below), there is a requirement for the payer to withhold tax at the rate applicable to each nonAustralian tax resident Shareholder. Australian dividend withholding tax is levied at a flat rate of 30% on the gross amount of the dividends unless a Shareholder is a tax resident of a country that has an applicable double tax treaty with Australia. In these circumstances, the withholding tax may be reduced (usually to 15%), although in certain cases, depending on the Shareholder’s country of residence and the size of their shareholding, the rate may be reduced further.
Fully franked dividends are not subject to Australian dividend withholding tax. No other Australian tax is applicable.
62
It is recommended that non-Australian tax resident Shareholders consider the tax implications of receiving dividends in respect of shares paid in Australia under their local tax regimes, including if a credit is available for any dividend withholding tax.
(a) Conduit foreign income
To the extent that unfranked dividends are declared in the distribution statement for the dividends to be conduit foreign income, the unfranked dividends paid to nonAustralian tax resident Shareholders should not be subject to Australian dividend withholding tax. Conduit foreign income is broadly foreign income paid to the Australian company where that foreign income is exempt from Australian income tax, such as certain branch profits, dividends and interest from subsidiaries.
Unfranked dividends declared to be conduit foreign income should be subject to tax in the same manner as other unfranked dividends for Australian tax resident Shareholders.
It is noted that, based on present activities, future unfranked dividends paid by the Company are unlikely to be declared to be conduit foreign income on the basis the group’s operations are expected to be within Australia.
(b) Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)
The comments in this Section do not consider the taxation implications of Shareholders participating in a DRP. If a DRP is activated at a future time, Shareholders are advised to seek advice prior to participating in the DRP.
3.7 Taxation of Share disposals – Australian tax resident
Australian tax resident Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account will be required to consider the impact of the CGT provisions in respect of the disposal of their Shares.
Where the capital proceeds received on the disposal of the Shares exceed the CGT cost base of those Shares, Australian tax resident Shareholders will derive a capital gain. The CGT cost base of the Shares should generally be equal to the issue price or acquisition price of the Shares plus, amongst other things, incidental costs associated with the acquisition and disposal of the Shares. In respect of the CGT cost base of the Shares, this amount may be reduced as a result of receiving non-assessable distributions from the Company, such as returns of capital.
Conversely, Australian tax resident Shareholders may recognise a capital loss on the disposal of Shares where the capital proceeds received on disposal are less than the reduced CGT cost base of the Shares.
All capital gains and losses recognised by an Australian tax resident Shareholder for an income year are aggregated. To the extent that a net gain exists, such Shareholders should be able to reduce the net gain by any amount of unapplied net capital losses or revenue losses carried forward from previous income years (provided the relevant loss recoupment tests are satisfied) or current year revenue or capital losses. Any remaining net gain (after the application of any carried forward tax losses or current year revenue losses) will then be required to be included in the Australian tax resident Shareholder’s assessable income (subject to comments below in relation to the availability of the CGT discount concession) and taxable at the Shareholder’s applicable rate of tax. Where a net capital loss is recognised, the loss should only be deductible against capital gains and should be capable of being carried forward indefinitely, provided the relevant loss recoupment tests are satisfied.
63
Non-corporate Shareholders may be entitled to a concession which discounts the amount of capital gain that is assessed. Broadly, the concession is generally available where the Shares have been held for tax purposes for 12 months or more prior to disposal. The concession results in a 50% reduction in the assessable amount of a capital gain for an individual Shareholder and a one-third reduction of a capital gain for an Australian tax resident complying superannuation entity Shareholder (including generally where a flow through trust or partnership distributes to such shareholders), after offsetting any current or carried forward losses. The concession is not available to corporate Shareholders (including those deemed to be companies).
In relation to trusts or partnerships including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding capital gains and the CGT discount are complex, but the benefit of the CGT discount may flow through to relevant beneficiaries or partners, subject to certain requirements being satisfied.
Australian tax resident investors who hold Shares on revenue account should seek separate independent professional advice.
3.8 Taxation of Share disposals – non-Australian tax residents
Non-Australian tax resident Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account should not generally be subject to the Australian CGT regime upon disposal of their Shares except in limited circumstances, for example where the Shares relate to a business carried on by the foreign resident through a permanent establishment in Australia or where the Shares are “indirect Australian real property interests”. The Shares should be indirect Australian real property interests to the extent that, broadly, the following two requirements are satisfied:
-
(a) the Company is considered “land rich” for Australian income tax purposes (i.e. greater than 50% of the market value of the Company’s underlying assets is principally derived from Australian real property or certain interests in relation to Australian minerals); and
-
(b) the non-resident Shareholder has an associate-inclusive interest of at least 10% in the Company (either at the time of disposal or throughout a 12 month period that began no earlier than 24 months before the disposal). This is commonly referred to as a “non-portfolio” interest.
Relevant non-resident Shareholders will need to determine if the above requirements are met at the time of disposal of their Shares.
It is noted that it is likely that the Company is considered “land rich” for Australian income tax purposes as at the Prospectus Date (noting this analysis is required to be undertaken at the time of disposal). Therefore, it is likely that a Shareholder with a relevant “non-portfolio interest” will be subject to the Australian CGT regime upon disposal of their Shares. It is recommended that non-Australian tax resident Shareholders (particularly those with a relevant “non-portfolio” interest) seek appropriate taxation advice regarding the Australian CGT implications of the disposal of their Shares, including if the Company is considered “land rich” in respect of the disposal.
Non-Australian resident investors who hold Shares on revenue account should seek separate independent professional advice.
3.9 Non-resident CGT withholding
Rules can apply to the disposal of certain taxable Australian property, whereby a 12.5% nonfinal withholding tax may be applied. However, the rules should not apply to the disposal of a Share on the ASX (in accordance with a specific exemption).
64
3.10 Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN)
An Australian tax resident Shareholder is not obliged to quote a TFN, or where relevant, ABN, to the Company. However, if a TFN or ABN is not quoted and no exemption is applicable, income tax is required to be deducted by the Company at the highest marginal rate (currently 45% plus Medicare levy of 2%) from certain dividends paid. Australian tax resident Shareholders may be able to claim a tax credit/rebate (as applicable) in respect of any tax withheld on dividends in their income tax returns.
No withholding requirement applies in respect of fully franked dividends paid in respect of the Shares or to unfranked dividends paid to non-Australian tax residents (as described above, the dividend withholding tax regime should instead apply in this situation).
3.11 Stamp duty
No stamp duty should be payable by a Shareholder on the acquisition of Shares in the Company pursuant to the Priority Offer or the Public Offer, or on the subsequent disposal of those Shares.
3.12 Goods and services tax (GST)
GST should not be applicable to the acquisition or disposal of Shares. The ability of Shareholders to recover any GST incurred as an input tax credit in relation to costs associated with the Offer (such as costs relating to professional advice obtained by Shareholders regarding the Offer) would vary according to individual circumstances and as such this should be reviewed by Shareholders, with professional advice taken as necessary, prior to making any claim.
No GST should be payable by Shareholders on receiving dividends (or other distributions) paid by the Company.
65
4. Risk factors
The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered speculative. Before applying for Securities, any prospective investor should be satisfied that they have a sufficient understanding of the risks involved in making an investment in the Company and whether it is a suitable investment, having regard to their own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position.
There can be no guarantee that the Company will deliver on its business strategy, or that any forward looking statement contained in this Prospectus will be achieved or realised. Investors should note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
The Directors strongly recommend investors examine the contents of this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
In addition, investors should be aware there are risks associated with investment in the Company. There are certain general risks and certain specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business and are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. Those risks, along with other specific and general risks involved in investing in the Company, are set out in more detail in this Section 4.
The risks described below are not to be taken as exhaustive. Where relevant, the risks below assume completion of the Offers has occurred. The specific risks considered below and other risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that are currently considered immaterial, may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business operations, the financial performance of the Company and the value and market price of the Securities.
4.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Exploration and development risks
The prospects of the Tenements must be considered in light of the considerable risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of exploration and development activities and, accordingly, carries significant exploration risk.
Potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration and development will result in the discovery of further mineral deposits. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site.
The future exploration activities of the Company 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 the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Tenements and
66
obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Tenements.
(b) Operating risk
There are significant risks in developing a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve economic production from any of the Tenements. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Tenements. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its Tenements, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
(c) Limited history
The Company was incorporated on 24 May 2022 and therefore has limited operational and limited financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Tenements. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Tenements, it is likely to incur operational losses.
(d) Future capital requirements and funding risk
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Tenements are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offers should be adequate to fund its exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.
Exploration and development involve significant financial risk and capital investment.
In order to successfully develop the Tenements and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. It is also possible further capital may be required at an earlier stage if any risks, including those described in this Section 4, materialise, or equally new and superior opportunities materialise.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities or the registering of security interests over the Company’s assets.
67
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities including resulting in the claims being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company’s existing Shareholders will be diluted.
(e) Joint venture risk
The Company’s interests in the Deep Well Project and the Minority Joint Ventures are subject to the terms and conditions of joint venture and earn-in agreements with other third parties (see Section 2.3 for further information).
There is a risk that the financial failure or default of the counterparties to such agreements may adversely affect the operations and performance of the Company or its interest in these projects. As is the case in all earn in and joint venture arrangements, there is a risk that joint venture partners may default in their obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture, which in either case would likely have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.
Whilst many of the agreements that govern the Minority Joint Ventures set out key operating provisions for a joint venture agreement, the joint venture terms are not comprehensive and do not purport to cover all of the requirements normally contained in a joint venture agreement. Until such time as a formal joint venture agreement can be negotiated between the parties, there is a heightened risk that disputes may arise between the parties which may have adverse financial impacts on the Company or cause delays in the development of the relevant projects. It is intended that the Company may negotiate formal joint venture agreements in relation to the GWE EarnIn and the Auroch Joint Venture (as defined in the Title Report in Annexure C). However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate a formal joint venture agreement on terms favourable to the Company, or at all.
As with any joint venture, the joint venture terms and any subsequent joint venture agreement are subject to various counterparty risks including failure by the joint venture counterparty, to act in the best interests of the joint venture. Any failure by the Minority Joint Venturers to act in the best interests of the joint venture may or may not give the Company contractual remedies, however, even if such remedies are available, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.
(f) Conditionality of the Offers
The obligation of the Company to issue the Securities under the Offers is conditional on (among other things) ASX granting approval for Admission to the Official List and the implementation of the Spin-Off in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Agreement, which includes the requirement for Jindalee to obtain Shareholder approval for the disposal of the Australian Assets pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 11.4.1(b). If any of these conditions are not satisfied,
68
the Company will not proceed with the Offers. Failure to complete the Offers may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
(g) New projects and acquisitions
Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Tenements, as with most exploration entities, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resource sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of claims/permits, and/or direct equity participation.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Tenements and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Tenements and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
(h) Title and grant risk
For a summary of the Company’s interests in the Tenements as at the date of this Prospectus, please refer to section 4.1(a) of the Title Report at Annexure C.
The Company is acquiring the following Tenements from Jindalee:
-
(i) Jindalee’s legal and beneficial interest in 62 tenements (comprising 50 exploration licences and 12 prospecting licences), including 16 exploration licences that are currently in their first year of grant, and the tenements to be granted from 55 tenement applications (comprising 3 applications for prospecting licences and 52 applications for exploration licences) pursuant to the WA Sale Agreement;
-
(ii) Jindalee’s 20% legal and beneficial interest in mining lease 53/1078-I pursuant to the M53/1078-I Agreement; and
-
(iii) Jindalee’s wholly owned subsidiary, HiTec’s 30% legal and beneficial interest in EL5/2016 (located in Tasmania) pursuant to the HiTec Share Sale Agreement under which, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued capital of HiTec from Jindalee.
The Company, pursuant to the Deep Well Agreement is granted the exclusive option to elect to acquire an 80% beneficial and registered interest in E51/1977 (held 100% by M61) and application for ELA51/2073 (of which M61 is the sole registered applicant for).
The Tenements comprise 66 exploration licence applications and three prospecting licence applications which must be granted before the Company may be transferred an interest in them (in the case of the applications in Jindalee’s name), or undertake mineral exploration on them (in the case of the applications applied for in the name of the Company). Accordingly, there is a risk that these applications may not be granted
69
in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company or that such grant will be delayed. In particular:
-
(i) several of the Tenement applications are subject to objections under the WA Mining Act, and objections lodged by affected native title parties which must be resolved prior to the applications progressing through the grant process. Accordingly, there is a risk that, in the event the objections are not withdrawn or resolved, the grant of the tenement applications may be delayed or refused;
-
(ii) several of the Tenement applications overlap either granted or first in time applications for mining leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences which have been applied for by or are held by third parties. The area the subject of the granted or first in time applications for mining leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences will be excised from the Tenement applications upon grant. Therefore, there is a risk that these Tenement applications will be granted for a significantly lesser area than applied for; and
-
(iii) several of the exploration licence applications overlap other pending applications for exploration licences which were all received by the DMIRS at the same time and will therefore be subject to a ballot to determine the first in time applicant to the land (or part thereof). Where the Company or Jindalee does not win the ballots, it is unlikely that these exploration licence applications will be granted, or will not be granted for the whole area applied for, and the entire area of the applications (or part thereof) will fall away.
If the Tenement applications are not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in these tenements. The Tenement applications therefore should not be considered as assets or projects of the Company. Moreover, if any of the Company’s tenement applications are granted in the 24-month period following Admission, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated towards current granted tenements, which may result in the Company reallocating funds towards newly granted tenements.
Tenements E80/5027, E63/1832 and E15/1552 are subject to extension of term applications that have been lodged with the DMIRS to renew the term of the Tenements for a period of 5 years. These extension of term applications have not yet been approved. If sufficient grounds cannot be provided for the renewals, these Tenements may expire at the end of the current term unless retention status is applied for or the Tenements are converted to a mining lease.
Interests in all tenements in Western Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it work program, annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the Tenements reduced or lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if licence conditions are not met or if sufficient funds are unavailable to meet expenditure commitments.
If in the future, the term of any of the tenements are not renewed or extended, the Company may suffer damage through loss of the opportunity to discover and/or develop any mineral resources on these tenements.
Certain exploration licences in Western Australia are currently at risk of invalidity following the Warden’s Court of Western Australia decision ( True Fella Pty Ltd v Pantoro South Pty Ltd [2022] WAMW 19) handed down on 18 August 2022 which created uncertainty over the validity of exploration licences in Western Australia. For
70
further information, please refer to section 5.1(a)(ix) of the Title Report at Annexure C.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company has the necessary licences and permits in order to satisfy the commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b) for its proposed exploration program and budget.
Please refer to the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
(i) Minimum expenditure requirements
In order to maintain an interest in the Tenements in which the Company is the holder, the Company is committed to meet the conditions under which the Tenements were granted and the obligations of the Company are subject to minimum expenditure commitments required by Australian mining legislation. The extent of work performed on each Tenement may vary depending upon the results of the exploration programme which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest. As at the Prospectus Date, the Company is not in breach of its minimum expenditure commitments. There is a risk that if the Company fails to satisfy these minimum expenditure requirements at the time of expiry, the Company may be required to relinquish part or all of its interests in these licences. Accordingly, whilst there is no guarantee that the Australian authorities will grant the Company an extension of the licences, the Company is not aware of any reason why the Tenements would not be renewed upon expiry.
(j) Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve Estimates
There are no current Mineral Resource or Ore Reserves (as defined by the JORC Code) identified by the Company on the Key Projects.
Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a Mineral Resources, no assurance can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Even if a Mineral Resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which are valid when originally calculated may change significantly when new information or techniques become available.
In addition, by their very nature, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate.
(k) Exploration costs
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. 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 the Company’s viability.
(l)
Native Title
There are significant areas of the Tenements that overlap with existing native title claims and there remains the possibility that, in the future, other native title claims may impact the Tenements. In addition, certain tenements are affected by Indigenous
71
Land Use Agreements ( ILUAs ) that fall into the area of the South West Native Title Settlement ( Settlement ). Under these ILUAs, the native title rights and interests in respect to the applicable native title claims are surrendered to the State of Western Australia in relation to the Settlement area, such that the native title rights and interests of the claims are extinguished and consent is given to 'future acts' over the Settlement area. Prior to conducting exploration activities over the area of these Tenements, the Company will be required to enter into heritage agreements with the affected native title groups. Please refer to sections 7.8, 7.9, 7.11 and 8.6 of the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
Native Title is not a large part of the legal and policy landscape in Tasmania. In Tasmania, Aboriginal claims to land and waters are managed via the return of land or collaborative management processes. EL5/2016 is not subject to any native title interests. Please refer to section 7.12 of the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
There is a risk that, in the engagement required with native title parties, there are delays and/or increased costs incurred by the Company that adversely impact the ability of the Company to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas in the manner that it desires.
(m) Heritage and sociological risk
Many of the Tenements located in Western Australia are subject to registered Aboriginal heritage sites and/or ‘other heritage places’.
Further investigations have not been undertaken to determine whether the ‘other heritage places’ meet the criteria to be registered as Aboriginal sites or heritage places.
There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites or places may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements or cause delays in the progression of the development of a mine.
Please refer to section 8 of the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
(n) Land owner and access risk
Under Western Australian mining legislation and, in the case of EL5/2016, the Tasmanian mining legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third party interests (including pastoral leases and private land) which lie under areas of the Tenements, in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements. Any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents (including those imposed on the tenement as conditions of grant), or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
The Tenements that are located in Western Australia overlap certain pastoral leases, crown reserves and water reserves, areas of Carbon Farming / Sequestration Projects, CALM Purchased Former Leases, Aboriginal Reserves, file notation areas, other mining tenements held by third parties (including miscellaneous licences the subject of access agreements), general leases, timber reserves and proposed areas of State forests, parcels of private/freehold land, reserve leases, proposed areas of nature reserves, exempt east locations, petroleum interests, areas of National Heritage Listings and ANCA Wetlands.
72
Please refer to section 9.1 of the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
In relation to the Tenements located in Western Australia that overlap miscellaneous licences, access agreements have been entered into which facilitate the access and co-existence of the Tenements and third party miscellaneous licences. For summaries of these access agreements, please refer to section 10.2 of the Title Report at Annexure C.
EL5/2016 overlaps areas of Permanent Timber Production Zone Land, Future Potential Production Forest Land and Regional Reserve land. For further information please refer to section 9.2 of the Title Report at Annexure C for further details.
Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. EL5/2016 has been granted with specific conditions in respect to these overlaps.
Notwithstanding the above, in respect to overlapping tenure, the Company has sufficient access to the Tenements in order to satisfy the commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b) for its proposed exploration program and budget.
(o) Reliance on key personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.
It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.
(p)
Conflicts of interest
Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.
4.2 Mining industry risks
(a) Exploration costs
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. 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.
(b) Environmental
The Company’s mining operations will be subject to extensive Australian health and safety and environmental laws and regulations which could impose significant costs and burdens on the Company (the extent of which cannot be predicted). These laws and regulations provide for penalties and other liabilities for violation of such standards and if established, in certain circumstances, obligations to rehabilitate
73
current and former facilities and locations where operations are or were conducted. Permission to operate could be withdrawn temporarily where there is evidence of serious breaches of health and safety and environmental laws and regulations and even permanently in the case of extreme breaches.
It is in the interest of the Company to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws, in order to minimise damage to the environment and risk of liability.
(c)
Regulatory risks
The Company’s operating activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, 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. The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.
While the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations, agreements or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Company or its properties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s current operations or planned development projects.
Obtaining necessary permits can be a time-consuming process and there is a risk that the Company 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 the Company 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 the event that the Company makes an economic discovery and seeks to develop its properties beyond the exploration stage, there is a risk that necessary government approvals may not be granted, or may be significantly delayed or may make the deposit uneconomic.
(d) Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
74
(e) Commodity price and currency price volatility
The success of the Company is contingent on exploration success. If the Company achieves exploration success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity prices and exchange rate risks.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be considered in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
(f)
Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s Tenements and business.
Some of the Company’s competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities or technical staff. Many of the Company’s competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
(g)
Climate risk
There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
-
(i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
-
(ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
75
4.3 General risks
(a) Economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
(b)
Market conditions
The market price of the Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
The price at which the Company’s Shares trade on ASX after listing may be higher or lower than the Offer Price. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c)
Liquidity risk
Certain Shares on issue prior to the Offers will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation. During the period in which these Shares are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of his or her Shares in a timely manner. If the Minimum Subscription is raised, the free float of Shares available for trading is expected to be approximately 64.29% of issued Shares at Admission (on a Minimum Subscription basis).
There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company’s Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or
76
many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid.
(d) Force majeure
The Company’s Tenements now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.
(e)
Government and legal risk
Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company’s assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company’s capacity to explore and mine.
The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Tenements. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company’s development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Tenements. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.
(f) Litigation risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(g) Insurance risks
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
(h) Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Securities under this Prospectus.
77
(i) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.
(j) Infectious diseases
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company’s operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not aware of any COVID-19 related interruptions on the Tenements.
4.4 Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
78
5. Financial information
5.1 General
The Independent Limited Assurance Report contained in Annexure A sets out:
-
(a) the audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for Dynamic for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2022; and
-
(b) the audited historical Statement of Financial Position for Dynamic as at 30 June 2022,
(together, the Historical Financial Information ), and

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

6.9 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations
The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company’s policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company’s needs.
To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).
In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
The Company’s main corporate governance policies and practices as at the Prospectus Date are detailed below. The Company’s full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company’s website at www.dynamicmetals.com.au.
(a) Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. Clearly articulating the division of responsibilities between the Board and management will help manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities.
In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:
-
(i) providing leadership and setting the strategic objectives of the Company;
-
(ii) appointing and when necessary replacing the Chair;
-
(iii) approving the appointment and when necessary replacement, of other senior executives;
-
(iv) undertaking appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a Director;
-
(v) overseeing management’s implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives and its performance generally;
-
(vi) approving operating budgets and major capital expenditure;
84
-
(vii) overseeing the integrity of the Company’s accounting and corporate reporting systems including the external audit;
-
(viii) overseeing the Company’s process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities;
-
(ix) ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within which the Board expects management to operate; and
-
(x) monitoring the effectiveness of the Company’s governance practices.
The Company is committed to ensuring that appropriate checks are undertaken before the appointment of a Director and has in place written agreements with each Director which detail the terms of their appointment.
(b)
Composition of the Board
Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in a general meeting. Upon Admission, the Board will consist of one Executive Director and two Non-Executive Directors. By virtue of Messers Mannolini and Dudfield being directors of Jindalee, the Company considers that Messers Mannolini and Dudfield are not independent. Upon Admission, Jindalee will be a substantial Shareholder of the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the composition of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
(c)
Identification and management of risk
The Board’s collective experience will assist in the identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company’s business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.
(d) Ethical standards
The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
(e) Independent professional advice
Subject to the Chair’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

Remuneration arrangements
The remuneration of any Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (e.g. non-cash performance incentives such as options).
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.
85
The Board reviews and approves the Company’s remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be commensurate for an entity of the Company’s size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, commitment and responsibility.
The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.
(g) Securities trading policy
The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e. Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.
(h)
Diversity policy
The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation’s ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. This policy outlines the Company’s diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company’s progress in achieving them.
(i)
Audit and risk
The Company will not have a separate audit or risk committee until such time as the Board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.
(j)
External audit
The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.
(k)
Social media policy
The Board has adopted a social media policy to regulate the use of social media by people associated with the Company or its subsidiaries to preserve the Company’s reputation and integrity. The policy outlines requirements for compliance with confidentiality, governance, legal, privacy and regulatory parameters when using social media to conduct Company business.
(l)
Whistleblower policy
The Board has adopted a whistleblower protection policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct including breaches of the Company’s code of conduct can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or
86
discriminatory treatment. The purpose of this policy is to promote responsible whistle blowing about issues where the interests of others, including the public, or of the organisation itself are at risk.
(m) Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy
The Board has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all business dealings. The Board has adopted an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy for the purpose of setting out the responsibilities in observing and upholding the Company’s position on bribery and corruption provide information and guidance to those working for the Company on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
6.10 Departures from Recommendations
Following Admission, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.
The Company’s compliance and departures from the Recommendations as at the Prospectus Date are detailed in the table below.

| PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE | BOARD TO BE EFFECTIVE AND ADD VALUE | |
| Recommendation 2.1 The board of a listed entity should: (a) have a nomination committee which: (1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (3) the charter of the committee; (4) the members of the committee; and (5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those |
No | The Company has not formed a nomination committee given the size of the Board and the nature and scale of the Company's activities. The Board as a whole reviews the size, structure and composition of the Board including competencies and diversity, in addition to reviewing Board succession plans and continuing development. The Board considers that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee. When the Board meets as a Nomination Committee it will carry out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter. Items that are usually required to be discussed by a nomination committee will be marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required.

| Recommendation 2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. |
Partially | The Board will review capabilities, technical skills and personal attributes of its directors.

An essential component of this will be the time availability of Directors. The Company has not disclosed a Board skill matrix. |
| Recommendation 2.4 A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors |
No | The Board is not comprised of a majority of independent directors. Messers Mannolini and Dudfield are not considered to be independent directors by virtue of being directors of Jindalee. Upon Admission, Jindalee will be a substantial shareholder of the Company. Ms Wellman is not considered to be an independent director because she is employed by the Company in an executive capacity as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The Board Charter provides that the majority of directors shall be independent at a time when the size of the Company and its activities warrants such a structure. |

These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to the Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.
-
(a) ( Ranking of Shares ): At the Prospectus Date, all Shares are of the same class and rank equally in all respects. Specifically, the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally with existing Shares.

-

In some circumstances, the Directors may refuse to register a transfer if upon registration the transferee will hold less than a marketable parcel. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares upon which the Company has a lien.
- (f) ( General meetings ): Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

-
(h) ( Rights on winding up ): If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may with the sanction of special resolution, divide the assets of the Company amongst members as the liquidator sees fit.

The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules.

An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.

If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
-
(i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
(j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
(k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
- (i) Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules: any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
111
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
-
(o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
(p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
(q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
112
-
(r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
-
(s) ( Employee Share Trust ): The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

Dear Directors
INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ( ‘BDO’ ) has been engaged by Dynamic Metals Limited ( ‘Dynamic’ or ‘the Company’ ) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report ( ‘Report’ ) in relation to certain financial information of Dynamic, for the Initial Public Offering (‘ IPO ’) of shares in Dynamic, for inclusion in the Prospectus.
Broadly, the Prospectus will offer up to 35,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to $7.0 million before costs. The Offer is subject to a minimum subscription level of 25,000,000 shares to raise $5.0 million before costs.
As detailed in the Prospectus, the Company will undertake:
-
a fully underwritten priority offer to eligible Jindalee Resources Limited (‘ Jindalee ’) shareholders of up to 12,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise up to $2,500,000 (before costs) (‘ Priority Offer’ ); and
-
an offer to the general public of up to 22,500,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to raise up to $4,500,000 (before costs) (‘ Public Offer’ ).
In addition to this, Dynamic has agreed to issue Discovery Capital and Canaccord (‘ Joint Lead Managers ’), up to 485,000 shares and 1,212,500 options as part consideration for the provision of underwriting, joint lead manager and bookrunner services provided to the Company (‘ Advisor Offer’ ).
Collectively these are referred to as ‘ the Offers’ .
Dynamic was incorporated on 24 May 2022 by its parent company Jindalee. The Company and Jindalee have entered into an Implementation Deed (‘ ID ’) Tenement Sale Agreement (‘ TSA ’) and Share Sale Agreement (' SSA ') in relation to the spin-out of Jindalee’s Australian mineral assets (the ‘ Australian Assets’ ) (‘ Spin-Off ’). The effect of the ID, TSA and SSA is that the Company acquires the Australian Assets for 12,500,000 shares (‘ Spin-Out Shares’ ) to be issued to, and retained, by Jindalee.
BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 27 124 031 045 AFS Licence No 316158 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
2
The Offers are conditional on the successful implementation of the Spin-Off. To implement the Spin-Off, Jindalee must obtain shareholder approval for the disposal of the Australian Assets to Dynamic. Unless Jindalee Shareholders vote in favour of the disposal by the requisite majority, Dynamic will not be able to acquire the Australian Assets and the Offers will not proceed. The Spin-Off is also subject to a number of other conditions precedent which, if not satisfied or waived, will prevent the Spin-Off from completing and the Company will not be able to proceed with the Offers.
On 14 October 2022, Dynamic entered into a binding option agreement to acquire an 80% interest in the Deep Well project from M61 Holdings Pty Ltd (‘ M61 ’). There is no pre-existing relationship or related parties between Dynamic, Jindalee and M61. The material terms of the agreement are:
-
$30,000 option payment to M61;
-
$200,000 consideration in the form of shares in Dynamic to be issued to M61 on receipt of a conditional admission letter from ASX (‘ Deep Well Consideration Shares’ ); and
-
$40,000 reimbursement of costs to M61 upon listing.
Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report. BDO holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS Licence Number 316158) and our Financial Services Guide (‘ FSG ’) has been included in this report in the event you are a retail investor. Our FSG provides you with information on how to contact us, our services, remuneration, associations, and relationships.
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
2. SCOPE
You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information (together the ‘Historical Financial Information’ ) of Dynamic included in the Prospectus:
-
the audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for Dynamic for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2022; and
-
the audited historical Statement of Financial Position for Dynamic as at 30 June 2022.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the company’s adopted accounting policies.
The Historical Financial Information of Dynamic has been extracted from the financial report for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2022, which was audited by Hall Chadwick WA Audit Pty
3
Ltd (‘ Hall Chadwick’ ) in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. Hall Chadwick issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the following pro forma historical financial information (the ‘Pro Forma Historical Financial Information’ ) of Dynamic included in the Prospectus:
- the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2022.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of Dynamic, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described in Section 6 of this Report and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 7 of this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Section 7 of this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by Dynamic to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Report on Dynamic’s financial position as at 30 June 2022. As part of this process, information about Dynamic’s financial position has been extracted by Dynamic from its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.
3. DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
The directors of Dynamic are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information and included in the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
4. OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information .
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
4
5. CONCLUSION
Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:
-
the audited Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows of Dynamic for the period from incorporation to 30 June 2022; and
-
the audited Statement of Financial Position of Dynamic as at 30 June 2022,
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:
- the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position of Dynamic as at 30 June 2022,
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The pro-forma statement of financial position reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to 30 June 2022:
-
The Company has entered into a binding option agreement to acquire an 80% legal and beneficial interest in the Deep Well Project by issuing M61 with 1,000,000 shares in the Company (‘ Deep Well Consideration Shares’ ) and paying a $30,000 option fee and $40,000 reimbursement of previous expenditure. For the purposes of accounting for the acquisition of the Deep Well Project, the exploration assets have been valued based on the value of the equity consideration granted. Refer to Note 13 in Appendix 4 for further details.
-
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the ID, TSA and SSA, the Company will issue to Jindalee 12,500,000 shares (‘ Jindalee Consideration Shares’ ) for the purchase of the Australian Assets. The Australian Assets include, amongst other assets, the Widgiemooltha and Lake Percy projects and 4,411,765 GWR Group Limited (‘ GWR’ ) shares, which have been valued at $397,059 based on the closing ASX price of GWR on 30 June 2022. Additionally, annual leave entitlements for the Managing Director and Exploration Manager, totaling $27,090, will be transferred from Jindalee to Dynamic. The acquisition of the legal and beneficial interests in the Australian Assets has not been deemed to be a business combination as they fall outside the scope of AASB 3 Business Combinations as they occurred within the Jindalee Group. Refer to Note 12 in Appendix 4 for further details.
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no other material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of Dynamic not described above, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

One half of the Executive and Consultant Options will vest one year after the date of admission to the ASX (‘ Tranche B’ ).
The Tranche A Executive and Consultant Options have been valued at $158,400 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The value of the Tranche A Executive and Consultant Options has been expensed through accumulated losses. The Tranche B Executive and Consultant Options have been valued at $158,400 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. In accordance with AASB 2: Share based payment, the value of the options is expensed over the vesting period, and therefore the expense incurred at the pro-forma date is not material therefore, no adjustment has been made to the pro forma Historical Statement of Financial Position based to reflect the issue of the Tranche B Executive and Consultant Options.
- The Company will issue 1,000,000 options exercisable at $0.30 with a three-year life to non-executive directors of the Company (‘ Non-Executive Director Options’ ). The NonExecutive Director Options will all vest one year after the date of admission to the ASX.
6
The Non-Executive Director Options have been valued at $99,000 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. In accordance with AASB 2: Share based payment, the value of the options is expensed over the vesting period, and therefore the expense incurred at the pro-forma date is not material therefore, no adjustment has been made to the pro forma Historical Statement of Financial Position based to reflect the issue of the Non-Executive Director Options.
-
The payment of accrued costs associated with the Spin-Off totaling $177,415. As such, an adjustment has been made to decrease cash and increase accumulated losses for this amount, being the net adjustment following the settlement of the costs.
-
The repayment of a related party loan from Jindalee totaling $63,275. As such an adjustment has been made to decease cash and decrease the value of existing borrowings balance to nil.

APPENDIX 4
DYNAMIC METALS LIMITED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information included in this Report have been set out below.
a) Basis of preparation of historical financial information
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement, but not all the disclosure requirements of the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ AIFRS ’), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
b) Going Concern
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the fundraising under the Prospectus. The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern. As a result, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However, should the fundraising under the Prospectus be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
c) Reporting Basis and Conventions
The Historical Financial Information is prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, and term deposits repayable on demand with a financial institution. No cash was held by the Company at period end.
e) Other Receivables
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value, less any allowance for expected credit losses
f) Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated using the prime cost method and is brought to account over the estimated economic lives of all plant and equipment. The rate used is 12.5% and is based on the useful life of the asset, being a motor vehicle.
The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
11
The carrying amount of an asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date.
g) Impairment of Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s values in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
As assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had the impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Company’s policy with regards to exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences and permits, is to capitalise this expenditure as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Under this method exploration and evaluation expenditure is carried forward on the following basis:
-
Each area of interest is considered separately when deciding whether, and to what extent, to carry forward or write off exploration and evaluation costs.
-
Exploration and evaluation expenditure related to an area of interest is carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and that one of the following conditions is met:
-
such evaluation costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
12
Exploration and evaluation costs accumulated in respect of each particular area of interest include only net direct expenditure. The Company did not hold any granted tenements at period end hence all exploration related expenditure during the period has been expensed.
i) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
j) Contributed Equity
Issued and paid-up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
- k) Income Tax and Other Taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
-
When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interest in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
13
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Goods & Services Tax
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flow arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
l) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accounting for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Company’s accounting policy is stated at Note (h). There is some subjectivity involved in the carrying forward as capitalised or writing off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income exploration and evaluation expenditure, however management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure fairly reflect the prevailing situation.
m) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
NOTE 2: RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
Transactions with Related Parties and Directors Interests are disclosed in the Prospectus.
NOTE 3: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At the date of the report no material commitments or contingent liabilities exist that we are aware of, other than those disclosed in the Prospectus.

Executive Summary
Dynamic Metals Ltd ( Dynamic or the Company ) commissioned Valuation and Resource Management Pty Ltd ( VRM ) to prepare an Independent Technical Assessment Report ( ITAR or the Report ) of the mineral assets in which Dynamic has an interest or has a right to acquire an interest. The ITAR is to be included in a prospectus issued by the Company and dated around the date of this Report for an initial public offer of up to 35,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to a total of $7,000,000 (before costs) ( Prospectus ) to facilitate the Company’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).
This Report has been prepared as a public document, in the format of an independent specialist’s report and in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – the 2015 VALMIN Code ( VALMIN ) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code ( JORC ).
This Report is a technical review of the Company’s three main mineral projects covering approximately 1,236 km[2] within the combined projects cover approximately 3,949 km[2] . The general location of these projects is shown in Figure 1. Dynamic also has several non-contributing Joint Venture agreements with other parties over a range of commodities and a portfolio of Generative projects mostly under tenement application also shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Location of Dynamic Projects in Western Australia and Tasmania
Widgiemooltha Lithium, Nickel and Gold Project
The Widgiemooltha Projects are located over a broad area 550km east of Perth and centred 100km south of Kalgoorlie (Figure 1) and consists of 17 Exploration Licences, 8 Prospecting Licences and 23 Exploration Licence Applications and 3 Prospecting Licence Applications totalling 848.8km[2] . The Widgiemooltha and Kambalda Mining Centres have produced over 1,600,000 nickel tonnes (ASX: MCR 25 January 2022) since the late 1960s to the present day. Prior to Dynamic acquiring the project, the tenements have had historical exploration for nickel and gold largely in the form of lines of rotary air blast ( RAB ), reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling and airborne and ground Electro Magnetic ( EM ) geophysical surveys.
Dynamic has developed an exploration budget and strategy based on the previous exploration and existing targets at multiple lithium, nickel and gold prospects. The proposed exploration plans to drill lithium targets at Franks Far Southeast and existing sulphide nickel targets at Dordie Far West, Sunday Soak, gold targets at Mandilla Southeast. Several more targets exist over tenements under application however these are not described in detail. The project is central to the newly emerging Coolgardie to Norseman lithium belt with three lithium-caesium-tantalum ( LCT ) pegmatite related mines developed in the past few years. The project also lies within a known corridor of world class komatiitic nickel sulphide deposits and orogenic gold deposits. $1.52 million is budgeted for exploration over the next two years

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
(assuming the maximum subscription is raised) and $1.27 million budgeted assuming the minimum subscription is raised. In VRM’s opinion, this budget and work program is justified and recommended.
Lake Percy Nickel and Lithium Project
The Lake Percy Project is located 430km east of Perth and 130km southeast of South Cross. The project contains the northern part of the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt. Access to the tenements is via the Brookton Highway from Perth east to Hyden and then via the Hyden-Norseman Road. Prior to Dynamic acquiring the project in 2019, the tenements had been subjected to historical exploration for nickel and gold including auger sampling, RAB, Aircore, RC drilling and airborne and ground geophysics including various EM techniques.
Exploration soil sampling, RAB, Aircore, RC drilling and diamond drilling has identified the southernmost ultramafic unit as prospective for nickel.
Within the project area several low Ca-type granites have intruded into the stratigraphy and pegmatites related to these intrusions these have penetrated some distance along the north-west trending bedding. These pegmatites have been identified in outcrop, in drilling and have also been uncovered in historical trenching. Analysis of the granitoids and resulting pegmatites showed elevated REE’s and associated elements such as zirconium, niobium, lithium, hafnium, potassium, and tantalum. Regionally spodumene bearing pegmatites have been identified 20km to the south at Mt Day-Lake Johnston and further to the south-east at Medcalf.
In VRM’s opinion, focus is warranted around the south-eastern fold closure of the western ultramafic unit where drilling and surface sampling shows possible nickel sulphide signatures. Further work is required to geochemically characterise the LCT type pegmatites identified in previous drilling and in outcrop for possible economic lithium mineralisation as the local Lake Johnston district is proving to show strong potential in recent years.
Dynamic has proposed an exploration program for the project totalling $1.09 million over the next two years (assuming the maximum subscription is raised) with $0.84 million budgeted assuming the minimum subscription is raised. In VRM’s opinion this exploration budget is justified.
Deep Well Nickel, Copper, PGE project
The Deep Well Project is located approximately 30km east to southeast of Meekatharra. The Project is a Joint Venture between M61 Holdings Pty Ltd ( M61 ) and Dynamic. The Project area covers the southern extension of the Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt which lies along the north-eastern most boundary of the Archaean Murchison Domain with the Southern Cross Domain part of the Youanmi Terrane within the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The boundary between the Murchison Domain and the Southern Cross Domain is marked by the Evanston-Edale Shear Zone where several mafic-ultramafic bodies with surrounding sedimentary rocks have been entrained within the Shear Zone and are associated with high
iii

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
amplitude magnetic anomalies along the trend of the shear zone/terrain boundary. These bodies may be part of the Gnaweeda Greenstone belt or the Meeline suite of mafic to ultramafic intrusive complexes.
Historical exploration along the belt to the north has been for gold whilst in the southern exploration for metals within layered mafic-ultramafic complexes has been conducted. No historical work for base metals has been conducted prior to M61’s work. Initial reconnaissance by M61 has identified anomalous associated nickel, copper, gold, platinum and palladium in gossanous samples and other outcropping ultramafic rocks over a strike length of over 6km.
Dynamic’s plans are to conduct scout drilling over these areas to further determine the potential. Dynamic has proposed an exploration program for the project totalling $0.88 million over the next two years (assuming the maximum subscription is raised) with $0.63 million budgeted assuming the minimum subscription is raised. In VRM’s opinion this exploration budget is justified.
Regional Tenements
Dynamic Metals holds 7 granted exploration licences covering approximately 161km[2] (60 sub blocks) and 39 exploration licence applications over 1,870km[2] (611 sub-blocks). These tenements represent Dynamic’s generative exploration program. Jindalee and now Dynamic has a history of generating projects through opportunistic tenement applications either adjacent to existing active exploration, development, or mining operations or within areas where the exploration potential has recently been identified. Value is created by partnering with other explorers and mining companies.
The granted tenements are located in the south Yamarna Belt E39/2134, Leinster area (near Auroch) E36/994, E37/1414, E53/2131, Joyners Find Greenstone Belt (near Great Western), E77/2800 in the Forrestania Belt near Forrestania JV, E20/992 in the Murchison north of Tuckabianna.
Joint Ventures
The company has nine non managed joint venture agreements over 26 tenements over the state. These include joint ventures with Auroch Minerals Ltd at Leinster for Nickel, Voltaic Strategic Resources Ltd in the Murchison around Burnakura for gold, Forrestania Resources Ltd in the Forrestania Greenstone Belt for nickel, Great Western Resources Group Ltd for iron in the Channings Joyners Greenstone Belt west of Wiluna, Great Western Exploration Ltd for gold in the Channings Joyners Greenstone Belt, Mt Monger Resources Ltd at Maxwells, Randalls and Salt Creek for gold, Torque Metals at Paris for gold, Odessa Minerals Ltd in the Kimberley for diamonds and Great Western Resources Group Ltd in north west Tasmania for magnesite (Figure 1).
Exploration Budget
Dynamic has proposed an exploration budget of $4.06 million (assuming the maximum subscription is raised) and $3.06 million assuming the minimum subscription is raised to test the targets within the
iv
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
granted tenements, which represents the primary use of funds from the proposed capital raising. The Company’s exploration budget consists of $2.32 million in the first year and $1.74 million in the second year following the date of the Company’s admission to the Official List of the ASX (assuming the maximum subscription is raised) and $2.32 million in the first year and $0.74 million in the second year assuming the minimum subscription is raised. VRM has reviewed the budget and work program and considers the lithium, nickel and gold targets justify additional work and considers the budgets reasonable, appropriate and in line with the current exploration costs. It is, in the opinion of VRM, considered likely that ongoing, targeted, and modern exploration activities would further extend known mineralisation and identify additional mineralisation. Subject to Dynamic obtaining sufficient funding, it is VRM’s recommendation that the proposed work programs be carried out.
A summary of the exploration budgets of the Company’s projects is presented in Section 11.
Should the minimum subscription be raised under the Offer, VRM considers that the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives, maintain the tenements in good standing by meeting or exceeding tenement expenditure commitments and also satisfy the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company has prepared staged exploration programs and budgets, specific to the projects, which are consistent with the findings of this Report. VRM considers that the identified targets have sufficient technical merit to justify the proposed programs, and associated expenditure. The proposed exploration budget exceeds the minimum statutory annual expenditure commitments for the tenements (assuming all tenements are granted), which is $0.54 million.
Conclusions
Dynamic Metals holds three priority exploration projects within Western Australia combined with a large portfolio of Generative projects and a portfolio of nine non-managed Joint Ventures.
There are no JORC Code 2012 Mineral Resource estimates within the projects.
The projects are prospective primarily for Archean hosted lithium, nickel and gold with a range of priority targets planned for follow-up drilling of mineralisation. At Deep Well, newly identified nickel sulphide gossans indicate the potential for a virgin discovery along the Murchison/Southern Cross Domain bounding fault a key location for nickel deposits. In addition, many tenements with priority targets remain ungranted and once granted will provide a further pipeline of quality targets. More regionally in Western Australia, Dynamic holds a range of generative tenement applications and Joint Ventures with seven other parties. Dynamic’s business model is focussed on the exploration and development of their portfolio of nickel, lithium and gold assets in Western Australia, leveraged to exploration success through a tight capital structure.

1. Introduction
Valuation and Resource Management Pty Ltd ( VRM ) was engaged by Dynamic Metals Limited ( Dynamic or the Company) to prepare an Independent Technical Assessment Report ( Report or ITAR ) on the mineral assets in which Dynamic has an interest or has a right to acquire an interest, for inclusion in a prospectus to be issued by the Company for an initial public offer of up to 35,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to a total of $7,000,000 (before costs) ( Prospectus ). The mineral assets comprise three main projects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia and one in Tasmania, combined with several regional exploration tenements and applications, (together the Mineral Assets ).
1.1. Compliance with the JORC and VALMIN Codes and ASIC Regulatory Guides
In preparing the ITAR, VRM has applied the guidelines and principles of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – 2015 VALMIN Code ( VALMIN ) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code ( JORC ). Both industry codes are mandatory for all members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy ( AusIMM ) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists ( AIG ). These codes are also requirements under Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) rules and guidelines and the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).
This ITAR is a Public Report as described in the VALMIN Code (Clause 5) and the JORC Code (Clause 9). It is based on, and fairly reflects, the information and supporting documentation provided by Dynamic and previous owners and associated Competent Persons as referenced in this ITAR and additional publicly available information.
1.2. Scope of Work
VRM’s primary obligation in preparing this ITAR is to independently describe mineral projects applying the guidelines of the JORC and VALMIN Codes. These require that the Report contains all the relevant information at the date of disclosure, which investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require in making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the projects.
VRM has compiled the Report based on the principle of reviewing and interrogating both the documentation of Dynamic and other previous exploration within the area. This Report is a summary of the work conducted, completed, and reported by the various explorers to 21 September 2022 based on information supplied to VRM by Dynamic and other information sourced in the public domain, to the extent required by the VALMIN and JORC Codes.
VRM understands that its review and report will be included in the Prospectus, and as such, it is understood that VRM’s review and valuation will be a public document. Accordingly, this report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 2015 VALMIN Code.

1.3. Statement of Independence
VRM was engaged to undertake an ITAR of the tenements and tenement applications in which Dynamic has an interest. This work was conducted applying the principles of the JORC and VALMIN Codes, which in turn reference ASIC Regulatory guide 111 Content of expert reports ( RG111 ) and ASIC Regulatory guide 112 Independence of Experts ( RG112 ).
Mr Paul Dunbar and Ms Lynda Burnett of VRM have not had any association with Dynamic, its individual employees, or any interest in the securities of the Company or potential interest, nor are they expected to be employed by the Company after the initial public offering ( IPO ), which could be regarded as affecting their ability to give an independent, objective, and unbiased opinion. VRM will be paid a fee for this work based on standard commercial rates for professional services. The fee is not contingent on the results of this review and is estimated to be approximately $40,000.
1.4. Competent Persons Declaration and Qualifications
This Report was prepared by Ms Lynda Burnett as the primary author and peer reviewed by Mr Paul Dunbar.
The Report and information that relates to geology, exploration, site visit, and the assessment of planned exploration programs is based on information compiled by Ms Lynda Burnett, BSc (Hons), a Competent Person who is a member of the AusIMM. Ms Burnett is an associate of VRM and has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, geology, and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person under the 2012 JORC Code. Ms Burnett consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on her information in the form and context in which it appears.
The Peer Review was completed by Mr Paul Dunbar, BSc (Hons), MSc, a Competent Person who is a member of the AusIMM and the AIG. Mr Dunbar is a Director of VRM and has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, geology, and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person under the 2012 JORC Code and a Specialist under the 2015 VALMIN Code. Mr Dunbar consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
1.5. Reliance on Experts
The authors of this Report are not qualified to provide extensive commentary on the legal aspects of the tenure of the mineral properties or the compliance with the legislative environment and permitting in Western Australia. In relation to the tenement standing within Western Australia, VRM has relied on the information publicly available on the Department of Industry and Resources ( DMIRS ). On this basis VRM has confirmed the tenements are located in Western Australia government records and understands that the tenements are in good standing and has confirmed such with Dynamic. Regarding the legal standing

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
of the tenements that constitute the projects, VRM directs the reader to the Solicitor’s Report on Western Australian Tenements included in the Prospectus to which this Report is appended.
In respect of the information contained in this Report, VRM has relied on:
-
Information and Reports obtained from Dynamic, including but not limited to:
-
Presentation material including several cross sections and plans
-
Annual Technical Reports for the tenements
-
WAMEX Reports for each of the project areas
-
Dynamic Metal’s internal reports.
-
Various ASX releases including from previous owners and neighbouring companies
-
Publicly available information including several publications on the regional geology by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA)
-
Government Regional WA datasets and other regional datasets, including geological mapping and explanatory notes.
The reader is referred to the Solicitor’s Report on Western Australian Tenements in this Prospectus for further information on mineral tenure and the status of material contracts.
1.6. Sources of Information
All information and conclusions within this Report are based on information Dynamic made available to VRM to assist with this Report and other relevant publicly available data to 21 September 2022. Reference has been made to other sources of information, published and unpublished, including government reports and reports prepared by previous interested parties and joint venturers to the areas, where it has been considered necessary. VRM has, as far as possible and making all reasonable enquiries, attempted to confirm the authenticity and completeness of the technical data used in the preparation of this Report and to ensure that it had access to all relevant technical information. VRM has relied on the information contained within the reports, articles and databases provided by Dynamic as detailed in the reference list. A draft of this Report was provided to Dynamic for the purpose of identifying and addressing any factual errors or omissions prior to finalisation of the Report.
1.7. Site visit
No site visits were conducted to the Widgiemooltha, Lake Percy and Deep Well projects during the preparation of this Report. VRM has reviewed reports for previous exploration and considers that a site visit would not reveal any additional information that would change the recommendations or make a material difference to the contents and of this report. All the projects are considered to be early-stage exploration projects with minimal recent exploration activities.

During the last 35 years Ms Burnett and Mr Dunbar have undertaken site visits to several mines and exploration sites similar in geological settings in the Eastern Goldfields, Lake Johnson Belt and Murchison Region. Previous site visits have been conducted to gold projects, including komatiite-hosted nickel exploration prospects, deposits, and mines at the Kambalda and Widgiemooltha domes, intrusive nickel deposits in Western Australia and several nickel sulphide prospects and deposits mines in Canada and Uganda. Ms Burnett has also worked at or undertaken site visits to several mines and exploration sites similar in geological settings to the Archaean orogenic gold mineralisation under investigation at the various projects. Her previous site visits to gold mines and projects have included Darlot, Meekatharra, Tuckabianna, Junction/St Ives, Big Bell, Sons of Gwalia, Tower Hill, KCGM and Mount Charlotte.

2. Mineral Assets
The Mineral Assets in this review include three active projects within the Eastern Goldfields and Murchison Region of Western Australia combined with 56 Generative Exploration Tenements and nine non-managed Joint Ventures. The locations of the projects are shown in Figure 1.
2.1. Mineral Tenure
The tenement schedule pertaining to the Mineral Assets is given in Table 1. The Western Australian tenements have been validated via checking with the DMIRS Mineral Titles Online database. A detailed tenement plan and description of each project area is included in sections 3 to 7.
VRM has made all reasonable enquiries regarding the status of these tenements and confirms that to the best of VRM’s knowledge these tenements remain in good standing with all statutory filings, reports and documentation supplied to the various government departments. As VRM and the authors of this Report are not experts in the mining acts for Western Australia, no warranty or guarantee, be it expressed or implied, is made by VRM with respect to the completeness or accuracy of the legal aspects regarding the security of the tenure. VRM relies on the various government databases and websites which confirm Dynamic’s tenements are, at the time of this Report, in good standing. Further information is provided in the Solicitor’s Report on Western Australian Tenements in this Prospectus.

3. Widgiemooltha Projects
The Widgiemooltha projects are located over a broad area 550km east of Perth and centred 100km south of Kalgoorlie.
3.1 Location and Access – Widgiemooltha Project
The Widgiemooltha projects, consist of 17 Exploration Licences, 8 Prospecting Licences and 23 Exploration Licence Applications and 3 Prospecting Licence Applications as detailed in Figure 1 and Table 1 in the South-Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Figure 2 shows the tenement location access and topographic features. Access is via the Kalgoorlie to Norseman Road and then via station and mining tracks.

3.2 Climate – Widgiemooltha Project
The Eastern Goldfields region is a semi-arid climate with hot summers and mild winters. The climatic information, sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au), is for the Norseman Post Office. During January, the mean maximum temperatures is 32.6°C with a mean minimum temperature of 15.8[o] C. In July, the average maximum is 16.8°C and mean low is 5.1°C. It is rare for the minimum to fall below zero. The rainfall, which averages 289mm per year, occurs throughout the year, with an average of approximately five to six days of rain per month.
Rainfall during the summer period is dominated by scattered thunderstorms with occasional tropical rain bearing depressions (ex-tropical cyclones) that commonly impact the Pilbara region of Western Australia. These systems often affect the Eastern Goldfields region several days after crossing the Pilbara coast. The bulk of the winter rainfall is associated with cold fronts, which impact the southern half of Western Australia.
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
3.3 Regional Geology – Widgiemooltha Project
The Widgiemooltha project is located within Kalgoorlie Terrane the westernmost Terrane of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane within the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 3). Within the Kalgoorlie Terrane the project consists of the Coolgardie Domain to the west separated by the Zuleika Shear Zone with the Kambalda Domain in the east (Cassidy et al., 2006).
The Kambalda Domain is well studied and has been used as a template for greenstone stratigraphy throughout the Yilgarn craton, Woodall (1965), Gresham and Loftus-Hills (1981), and Roberts (1988) and includes the 2720-2690 Ma mafic ultramafic Kambalda Sequence or Hannans Subgroup which is overlain by the felsic volcanics and volcaniclastics of the Black Flag Group dated at 2690-2665 Ma. In detail, basal Lunnon Basalt is overlain by the Kambalda Komatiite, Devons Consols Basalt, Kapai Slate and Paringa Basalt. The sequence is overlain conformably to locally unconformably by the Black Flag Group (Smithies et al., 2022).
The Coolgardie Domain has equivalent stratigraphy to Kalgoorlie Domain as shown in Figure 4.
Within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (Champion and Sheraton 1997) have recognised the following types of granites with magmatism occurring from 2720 to 2630Ma.
-
Mafic granites, a minor phase (~5%), peak between c. 2720-2680 Ma, decreasing until <2655 Ma.
-
High-Ca granites, the dominant granite type (~60%), mostly emplaced between c. 2720-2655 Ma.
-
Low-Ca granites, younger than c. 2655 Ma, and interpreted to be derived by recycling of the older granites.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
The Kambalda sequence is part of an extensional structural regime and was followed by cycles of transpression and extension/transtension (Blewett et al 2010). The emplacement of the LCT pegmatites in various greenstone belt lithologies in the Kalgoorlie terrane is dated between 2650–2630 Ma associated with widespread intrusions of low-Ca granitoids (Dittich et al 2019).

Mineralisation
Figure 5 summarises nickel, gold and lithium projects and mines in the area. The project area is central to the newly emerging Coolgardie to Norseman lithium belt with three lithium-caesium-tantalum ( LCT ) pegmatite related mines developed in the past few years. The project also lies within a known corridor of world class komatiitic nickel sulphide deposits and orogenic gold deposits.

Lithium Mineralisation
Pegmatite hosted lithium was identified in 2016, with explorers such as Neometals, Essential Metals Ltd, Forrestania Resources, Maximus Resources Ltd and Widgie Nickel Ltd discovering outcropping lithiumcaesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites in the district in the past few years. Mineral Resources’ Mt Marion lithium JV mining operations are located 70km to the northwest of the centre of the Widgemooltha project and the Essential Metals deposit at Dome is 27km to the south of the Widgiemooltha project tenements.
According to Cerny (1991), Galeschuk and Vanstone (2007), pegmatites of interest for lithium and tantalum mineralisation belong to the rare-element class of pegmatites. This class is divided into pegmatite families which include the lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT), rare-earth niobium-yttrium-fluorite ( NYF ) and mixed NYF and LCT subtypes.
16
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Rare element lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) type pegmatites is a general term used here and may include a variety of end model pegmatites that host lithium mineralisation. These include complex, lepidolite and albite-spodumene subtype pegmatites. Of most interest commercially, are the large complex or albite-spodumene pegmatites hosting the dominant lithium (Li) bearing minerals spodumene, petalite and lepidolite, and tantalum (Ta) bearing minerals and cassiterite (Sn). While lepidolite (Li mica) can be present in the complex pegmatites and dominates the lepidolite pegmatites it is currently of less commercial interest in terms of Li for energy uses than spodumene. Petalite is predominantly used in ceramics.
The widely accepted model for the formation of LCT pegmatites is that these pegmatites are derived from late orogenic mid-crustal granites which are derived from crustal rocks containing elevated rare elements such as lithium. As the granites evolve and crystalise incompatible and volatile elements accumulate in the residual melt. There is a well-documented pattern to pegmatite emplacement in relation to their parent granite intrusion, with pegmatites near the parent granite typically common or barren pegmatites and becoming more complex (enriched in incompatible and volatile elements) as the residual melt continues to crystallise, a process termed crystal-melt fractionation, and the evolving melt travels further from the parent granite.
The schematic model in Figure 6 shows regional zoning patterns in a pegmatite field (modified after Trueman and Cerný 1982; Galeschuk and Vanstone, 2007; Bradley et al., 2017). Characteristic rare-element suites of the most enriched pegmatites in each zone are indicated. The most prospective pegmatites are located in distal areas compared to the parental granite.

Nickel Mineralisation
17
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Nickel production from the Kambalda Region is in excess of 1,600,000 nickel tonnes (ASX: MCR 25 January 2022) with numerous operating mines and mineral explorers continuing to define additional mineralisation around the Kambalda and Widgiemooltha Domes.
Nickel sulphide mineralisation is hosted within the Kambalda suite of mafic and ultramafics, where the basal unit, Lunnon Basalt is overlain by the Kambalda Komatiite, the preferred host of the nickel deposits. The deposits are located around the Kambalda and Widgiemooltha granitoid domes which intruded approximately 40Ma later. The sulphide deposits are hosted within basal channels in the komatiite and may be up to 100m thick. 500m wide and up to 15km long. (Figure 7).
The volcanic and stratigraphic controls on the nickel deposits, and the deformation and alteration characteristics of the ore suggest original formation via magmatic processes (Ross and Hopkins, 1975; Lesher, 1989). The general accepted model is that a komatiiic lava flow erupted with channels formed by thermal erosion. Assimilation of sulphidic sedimentary substrate by the sulphur-undersaturated lava, and deposition of Fe–Ni sulphides on the channel floor. These deposits may be structurally modified and, in some cases, structurally relocated, with the Kambalda district showing all type of deposits (Beresford and Stone, 2004).

Gold Mineralisation
Gold mineralisation is Archean orogenic and is described in terms of the major deposits in the district. The Higginsville group of deposits include Trident, Two Boys and Poseidon South. The Trident deposits 200m north of Poseidon South open pit consists of a series of north-northeast trending shallowly north plunging tensional gash vein zones, hosted within a thick differentiated gabbro bounded by sediments to the east and west. The high-grade Athena and Artemis veins are high grade laminated veins on sheared lithological contacts.
The 600,000 ounce Chalice Gold Deposit, 20km to the west (Bucci et al 2002, 2004) is hosted in an interlayered mafic ultramafic sequence of tholeiitic and komatiitic basalts and is bounded to the west and
19

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
east by granitoids. There are four generations of monzogranitic dykes which intrude the sequence which is metamorphosed to middle to upper amphibolite facies.
Several paleochannel hosted deposits also occur in the Higginsville area. Discovered in the 1990s, the gold occurs at the base of the channel associated with Tertiary sand grit and conglomerate (Lintern 2004).
The Wattle Dam Gold Deposit was discovered in 2005, and ore was treated at Higginsville and at Burbanks South of Coolgardie. The deposit produced underground ore of 213,650 ounces at a high grade of 14.9 g/t Au and open pit ore of 52,700 ounces at a grade of 5.3 g/t Au. Mineralisation is associated with a steeply dipping interflow shale unit within a komatiitic ultramafic unit. The ore zone is 40-70m wide consisting of intense chlorite, biotite amphibole sulphide alteration. A feature of the deposit when it was mined was coarse free gold. Maximus the current owner has reported remnant mineralisation of 23,800 ounces for a total endowment of 290,000oz.
The St Ives-Kambalda Goldfield has a collective endowment of over 16Moz (Oxenburgh et al 2017), with 5 deposits over 2 million ounces. Historically gold was discovered and mined from the 1890s to the 1930s at Red Hill, Victory, Orchin, Delta Island and Ives Reward. A large range of stratigraphic and structural settings control gold mineralisation. Mineralisation is controlled by shallowly dipping thrusts, lodes associated with a compressional jog, cataclasite bands, and breccias. Extensive wallrock alteration is a feature of many of the deposits and mineralisation has been identified within most rock types, particularly on contacts and on contact/structural intersections. Extensive paleochannel mineralisation is developed over and near the deposits.
3.4 Regional Exploration History
Nickel
Nickel exploration around the Widgiemooltha Dome commenced soon after the discovery of nickel sulphides at Kambalda in January 1966 by Western Mining Ltd ( WMC ). The mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy was soon recognised as being similar to that at Kambalda. In the southern and western part of the dome, CRA Ltd and Anaconda in Joint venture discovered Redross and Wannaway, with the discovery at the northern end by BHP Minerals and Inco of Mt Edwards (Reeve, 2004). Wannaway and Mt Edwards had shafts sunk on them.
WMC gained control of the area by the mid-1980s as part of their Kambalda operation. The mines around the Widgiemooltha Dome were all closed by the end of 1999 and sold to Mincor Resources in 2001, who immediately put the mines into production until the operations closed in 2016 due to low nickel prices.
In 2021 following the discovery of the Cassini deposit in 2015 and a drastic improvement in the nickel price, the mines were reopened with production revenue achieved in 2022. A total of 72,000 nickel tonnes was produced at Miitel from 2000-2016, 70,000t from Mariners, 33,000 tonnes from Redross and 30,000 tonnes mined at Wannaway, (Mincor Website www.mincor.com.au) for a total of 175,000 tonnes for the

area and around 82,700 nickel tonnes remains as resources at Mincor deposits (Cassini, Miitel, Wannaway) on the Widgiemooltha Dome (ASX:MCR 30 June 2021) (Figure 8).

Gold
Gold mining and exploration extends back to the late 19[th] century when prospectors first discovered gold at Kalgoorlie, the St Ives area, and at Norseman 200km to the south in 1892. In the vicinity of the Widgiemooltha tenements, major discoveries of gold by Western Mining in 1960s around the Saint Ives complex south of Kambalda commenced the modern era of mining and exploration.
21
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
In the last 35 years, open pit and underground production has occurred at St Ives, Wattle Dam/Mandilla, Chalice, Widgiemooltha and Higginsville. In the far north-east of the project area, production from the Randalls mining complex is also significant and in the far south production from the Norseman District is significant. Most of the mining is from Archean orogenic deposits, with the addition of some near surface paleochannel mineralisation mined as well.
On the north-east Widgiemooltha Dome a group of deposits was defined by Mincor for 323,000 ounces with 32,583 ounces toll treated between 2018 and 2019 at the Higginsville Gold Operation and Lakewood plants.

Mineral Resources’ Mt Marion lithium JV mining operations are located 70km to the northwest of the centre of the Widgemooltha project. The Mt Marion Deposit is reported to contain 71.3Mt at 1.37% Li2O (ASX: MXR 7 June 2022) and the Essential Metals deposit at Dome has reported a resource of 11.2Mt at 1.21% Li2O (ASX: ESS 29 September2022) 27km to the south of the Widgiemooltha project tenements.
Exploration for pegmatites bearing tantalite-columbite has reportedly been significant in the CoolgardieWidgiemooltha area since 1909 when the WA Geological Survey discovered the Mt Marion pegmatites at Londonderry around 13km south southwest of Coolgardie (Miles et al 1945). The pegmatite was mined in the 1950s (de la Hunty 1951) and a resource was delineated in the 1960s by (WMC) with further work done in the 1990s including pilot plant activities. In 2009 Reed Resources explored the area and released the first JORC compliant resource of Li2O. The mine commenced in 2016 and is now owned by Mineral Resources Ltd and Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co.
Around the Widgiemooltha project area there are two currently operating lithium mines, the Bald Hill Mine owned by Alita Resources Ltd and the Mt Marion Mine owned by Mineral Resources (Figure 10). Several active lithium projects including Essential Metals Pioneer Dome Project, the Anna deposit at Liontown’s Buldania Project have been identified since the mid-2010s.
The pegmatites of the Mt Marion Mine form a zone of six intrusions or dykes striking northeast to southwest in a parallel swam trending northwest to southeast. The dykes dip shallowly to the northwest. The individual pegmatites vary from 300m to 700m long and average 15-20m in thickness varying from 2m to 35m thickness (www.portergeo.com.au).
At Dome North 4km to the southwest of Dynamic’s tenure spodumene bearing pegmatite dykes strike north northeast dipping steeply to the east with a resource of 11.2 Mt at 1.21% Li2O (ASX: ESS 29 September 2022). At Anna, the pegmatites strike to the northwest and dip shallowly or moderately to the west and to the east. Here the individual pegmatites are up to 35m thick and have an average thickness of 4-9m. The resource at Anna is estimated at 14.9Mt at 0.97% Li2O (ASX: LTR 8 November 2019). Figure 10 shows the resources in the area.

3.5.1 Lithium Targets generated from previous exploration
Several lithium targets have been generated as a result of analysis of multielement geochemistry from previous drilling, where holes have intersected pegmatite and have been assayed for lithium. Much of the previous drilling has not been assayed for multi-elements such as lithium. New mapping and prospecting for lithium bearing pegmatites in this prospective belt is continuing to delineate more lithium bearing zones within pegmatite. Figure 10 shows regional lithium prospects and deposits, previous drilling with lithium results coloured by grade with Dynamic’s lithium targets shown.
Franks Find South East
In addition to gold prospectivity the Franks Find area is prospective for lithium with open file drilling showing bottom of hole anomalism. In addition, the North Dome LCT pegmatites held by Essential Metals are located 4km to the southeast of the tenement boundary (Figure 11).
Targeting by CSA Global (Porter 2022) has identified a target area within E15/1705 along the eastern part of the tenement along the northern margin of the Pioneer Dome, which appears to be under-explored by drilling. The targeting exercise used rock chip sample data, which records highly anomalous lithium values and fractionation data indicating fertile pegmatites, anomalous lithium values in previous drilling and the presence of pegmatite and/or potential pegmatite (logged as granite) intercepts in previous drilling. A Low-Ca granite is located adjacent to this tenement which according to Porter (2022) enhances the potential for LCT pegmatites.
The prospect geology consists of a north trending zone of undivided metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks trending northwest dipping east and is probably a folded thrust repetition of the greenstone stratigraphy west of the Pioneer Dome.
In 2012 Avoca Resources drilled fences of RAB and Aircore holes to bedrock nominally on 300m spaced lies and 70m spaced along the lines. Some infill drilling occurred in areas of gold anomalism. The holes were assayed for gold only however the bottom of hole samples was assayed for multi-elements by four acid digest with an ICP-OES finish. Therefore, all lithium assays are bottom of hole spot sample results. A lithium anomaly 8km southeast of Franks Find is on three consecutive drill lines covering over 600m strike, containing five anomalous drillholes over 80ppm Li with a peak anomaly of 853ppm Li associated anomalous elements are Be, Sn Ta Cs all associated with Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites (Figure 11).

Figure 11: Franks Find South Lithium in bottom of hole drilling.
At Chalice North and South E15/1721, E15/900 Junction South and E15/1713 Mandilla East additional lithium anomalies in open hole drilling data have been detected however these are not discussed as the tenements are still ungranted.
Very little historical drilling has assayed for lithium meaning many of the tenements are unexplored for lithium. Careful analysis of previous geological logging, combined with mapping and surface sampling will assist defining new lithium targets on Dynamic’s tenements.

Dordie Far West
Dordie Far West is located on the northwest margin of the Widgiemooltha Dome on granted E15/1680. Nickel mineralisation at Dordie Far West was discovered by drilling completed by Mincor Resources (ASX: MCR) in the late 2000s.
A total of 16 RAB and Aircore holes for 759 metres and 5 RC holes for 525m were drilled by Mincor over a 2km northwest trend (A79779) (Figure 13). Geological interpretation of the drilling data shows mineralisation hosted within the keel of a synform in the ultramafic stratigraphy (Figure 14). The recognition of this structural position provides an opportunity to drill test the area for further nickel mineralisation.
Historic drill intercepts at Dordie Far West include:
-
MAC069 from 27m, 3m at 0.5% Ni
-
MAC075 from 4m, 2m at 1% Ni

Figure 14: Dordie Far West – Drill section and Geological Interpretation (Source ASX: JRL 16 February 2022)
A further 5km to the southeast along the trend 5 RC holes (RWC series) for 905m were drilled by Mincor to test the Railway Prospect which is a multi-layered anomaly consisting of a SQUID electromagnetic anomaly, a magnetic anomaly, a nickel, and copper soil anomaly and a high MgO komatiite situated over an interpreted north plunging mafic footwall unit. (A79779).
Dynamics interpretation is that the drilling was too far east and did not intersect the basal position. Figure 15 shows a 3d interpretation of the drilling and geology of the area. (Note the tenement on which Railway and Dordie North lies was not granted at the time of drafting the report).

(Source ASX: JRL 16 February 2022)
A further 2km to the east at Dordie North a zone of high-grade nickel sulphide was intersected by WMC in 1997. A total of 3 diamond holes DRD1302, 1303 and 1304 were drilled for 147.5m. Of particular interest is the result in DRD1304 which intersected a 20cm zone of massive sulphide from 45m-45.2m. This zone assayed 10.7% Ni, 3.1% Cu and 0.29% Co within a broader zone of 2.2m at 1.95% Ni from 43m.
This program was part of a program of 20 diamond holes (DRD1284-1304, for 3511m) which were completed at Dordie during the 1996 - 1997 period. Drilling concentrated on proving up open pittable and underground nickel ore below the planned Dordie pit limits. Most holes intersected high grade nickel mineralisation on the sheared ultramafic-mafic contact however in most cases these were thin, less than 1m intercepts. Interpretation of the drilling has indicated a southerly plunge to mineralisation at depth opposed to a weakly defined northerly plunge nearer the surface. At the time of writing the tenement upon which Dordie North sits was ungranted.

Sunday Soak
The Sunday Soak anomaly is located along the same greenstone unit as Franks Find 13km to the northwest and is the most western greenstone stratigraphy of the Widgiemooltha Dome. Previous Aircore drilling by Reward Mining in 1997 returned anomalous results with holes drilled vertically and spaced 40m apart with the strike extent open (Figure 16). Results include:
-

Figure 17: Pioneer Dome West exploration drilling showing anomalous results
Pioneer Dome West is a broad target area on the western side of the Pioneer Dome on tenement application E15/1721. The immediate area has been subject to significant gold exploration and Dynamic has identified an opportunity to test the ultramafic stratigraphy for nickel sulphide mineralisation. The primary focus is a series of prominent magnetic features along the western margin of the Pioneer Dome that appear broadly similar to magnetic features on either side of the Widgiemooltha Dome, which are known to host significant nickel mineralisation. No further discussion of previous work is made here as the tenement is currently still under application.

Democrat A1 A3 A5
Several nickel targets are located on E15/1753 application. At A5 nickel anomalism is associated with a basal stratigraphic position drilled by WMC in the mid to late 1990s.
Nickel mineralisation at A1 was identified during gold exploration by Acacia in the 1996. Two significant nickel results within ultramafic stratigraphy were returned from Aircore drilling near a prominent magnetic feature that is interpreted to be a trough structure. The anomalous nickel results and their position in relation to the interpreted trough structure justify further nickel exploration efforts. No further discussion is made here as the tenement has not been granted.

Mandilla Southeast E15/1645
The Mandilla Southeast project tenement is located between the western Kunanalling Shear, and the eastern Zuleika Shear (Figure 18). Gold mineralisation at Mandilla held by Astral Resources Ltd, 2km to the north northwest is related to north-south trending major thrust faults known as the “Spargoville Trend”. The Spargoville Trend contains four linear belts of mafic to ultramafic lithologies (the Coolgardie Group) with intervening felsic rocks (the Black Flag Group) forming an anticline modified and repeated by intense faulting and shearing. Flanking the Spargoville Trend to the east, a fault zone, (possibly the Karramindie Shear) is associated with the Mandilla mineralisation along the western flank of the Emu Rocks Granite, which has intruded the felsic volcanoclastic sedimentary rocks of the Black Flag Group.
The Mandilla West and Mandilla East gold mineralisation trends are around 3km directly along strike from E15/1645 (Figure 19). The mineralisation appears to strike along several splays subparallel to the Emu Rocks Granite to the east. In 2007 around 200m northeast of the tenement boundary Anglo Australian returned two drill hole results of
-
MNAC816 from 47m, 5m at 1.6 g/t including 1m at 6.91 g/t Au from 47m
-
MNAC817 from 54m, 4m at 1.19g/t Au including 1m at 3.76 g/t Au from 55m
The mineralisation was interpreted by Anglo (A79509) to be associated with the Mandilla East structure. The mineralisation was interpreted to be supergene derived consisting of a layer from 1-5m wide at between 40-45m below surface at the base of a bleached and weathered felsic volcanic/ granite bedrock.
In January 2022 Astral announced a resource of 784,000 ounces at Mandilla East (Theia), Iris and Eos (ASX: AAR 18 January 2022). Drilling has continued throughout 2022 and an additional resource was expected to be announced by Astral later in 2022. The structures controlling the mineralisation appear to splay onto Dynamic’s tenement and the Eos pit boundary is constrained by Astral’s tenement boundary which adjoins E15/1645. The Eos mineralisation is a 500m by 300m paleochannel located on the sediment granite boundary. The peak drilling result from Eos to date is 12m at 4.39 g/t from 52m.
Dynamic intends to test the area for paleochannel mineralisation and Archean orogenic structurally hosted gold mineralisation.

Junction West E15/1722 and Junction East E15/1808
3km west of the Junction deposit, anomalous gold was drilled by St Ives Gold in the early 2000s over three lines over 1.3km strike (A60119, 97166, 117052).
The Junction West prospect is located between the Junction and Argo mines approximately 5km west of Junction gold deposit on Lake Lefroy (Figure 20). The regional geology consists of undifferentiated Black Flag sediments intruded by mafic and felsic units. There are a series of northwest trending doleritic units analogous to the Junction Dolerite that are interpreted by Goldfields to transect the area (A97166).

The bedrock source was not confirmed but the presence of a high-grade supergene enriched zone was confirmed. Follow up drilling of these targets to bedrock to determine the source of the mineralisation is warranted.
At Junction East, ten vertical Aircore holes were drilled by Goldfields in 2013 for 556m to test the sheared contact of the granite with the Tripod Hill Komatiite and the Black Flag sediment package to identify any low-level anomalous gold (A119433). The holes were drilled on two east west trending lines with holes between 80 and 40m apart (Figure 22). The downhole logging largely confirmed the mapped geology and also the location of the Boulder Lefroy Fault. The mapped granite has the chemical composition of a felsic porphyry as was the host for the only anomalous gold within the program.

Caspian E15/1691
E15/1691 is 15km south-east of Higginsville and located entirely within Lake Cowan with geology is concealed under lake sediments (Figure 23). Early regional data compilation indicated potential for gold prospectivity in hosting greenstone/gabbro sequences. The initial gold mineralisation targets were ‘deep

lead’ paleochannel mineralisation and primary mineralisation in the basement, of the same nature as the Challenge-Swordsman ‘deep lead’ (>200K oz) and the Trident mine hosted in gabbro (>1M oz) at the nearby Higginsville Gold Mine. Regional evaluation highlights the nearest outcropping greenstones at Eundynie, to the north of the Lake Cowan tenement, which are also highly mineralised with historical mining activity.
Drilling in the WAMEX database reported by Newmont in 1989 shows Aircore holes P014 and P20 returning significant results such as:
-
P014 from 18m, 6m at 2.7 g/t Au
-
■ P020 from 40m, 5m at 0.75 g/t Au
Air core drilling programs completed in 2008 (A97316), confirmed that the tenement includes a prospective package of greenstones that comprise ultramafic rocks, gabbros, magnesium rich basalts and sedimentary rocks under a variable thickness of younger (Cenozoic to Recent) sedimentary cover. Elevated gold and arsenic values were obtained that defined thee zones of encouraging gold and arsenic anomalism within basement characterised by gossanous quartz veining. The main anomaly at Caspian is an 800m x 400m >0.5 g/t gold anomaly within a 250ppm arsenic anomaly. The best gold result was in LCA213, which intersected 3m @ 3.4 g/t in a highly altered gabbro containing gossanous quartz. A coincident zone of magnetic destruction can be interpreted within the gabbro from the ground magnetic survey. Figure 23 shows the previous drilling and highlighted gold intercepts.
In order to test the Caspian anomaly, three diamond holes (LCD001-003) were drilled in December 2011 for a total of 579m. LCD001 171m and LCD002 222m were drilled on section 80m to the north of LCD003.
The recovered core showed a favourable (basaltic to gabbroic) host rock for gold mineralisation with zones of strong alteration. This alteration was characterised by carbonate, biotite, chlorite, sericite, and albite with sulphides consisting of pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. A dilational zone promoting fluid flow was evidenced by structure dominated by sub vertical to east dipping foliation and shearing, with late cutting quartz vein breccias. Despite the promising alteration and structure, no significant gold mineralisation was returned with the exception of a thin intersection in LCD003, which intersected 0.1m @ 1.43g/t Au from 140.1m. The intersection occurred in quartz-carbonate-biotite veining with minor iron oxide.

Franks Find Southeast
On E15/1705 the northwest to southeast trending Franks Find trend has been explored actively by soil sampling and drilling since the mid-1980s with companies such as CSR, WMC, Resolute, Avoca/Alacer, Westgold and Metals X conducting work.
A total of 369 RAB holes for 12168m, 491 Aircore holes for 20697 and 16 RC holes for 926m has been completed (Figure 25 and Figure 26). Mineralisation is reported to be within foliated dolerite within foliation parallel quartz veins and tension gashes and is associated with arsenic. The Franks Find underground workings where around 2017 tonnes of ore mined underground at 12.7 g/t Au was recorded (A19628, 26054) are 3km northwest of the northern most prospect.
Results from historical drilling include:

4. Lake Percy Project
4.1 Location and Access
The Lake Percy project consists of two Exploration Licences and four exploration licence applications as detailed in Table 1 in the South-Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Access from Perth is via the Brookton Highway from Perth east to Hyden and then via the Hyden-Norseman Road. Alternatively, access is via the sealed Great Eastern Highway to Southern Cross then south via the Marvel LochForrestania Road until the road intersects the Hyden Norseman Road.
Access to the project tenements is via dirt tracks and cleared grid lines. The tenements are accessed along either the Nevoria or Mount Day tracks.
The tenements occupy areas of vacant Crown land, situated within the Dundas Mineral Field (District 63) and the Shire of Dundas, both of which are administered from Norseman.
4.2 Climate
The Eastern Goldfields region is a semi-arid climate with hot summers and mild winters. The climatic information, sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au), is for the Norseman Post Office. During January, the mean maximum temperatures is 32.6°C with a mean minimum temperature of 15.8[o] C. In July, the average maximum is 16.8°C and mean low is 5.1°C. It is rare for the minimum to fall below zero. The rainfall, which averages 289mm per year, occurs throughout the year, with an average of approximately five to six days of rain per month.
Rainfall during the summer period is dominated by scattered thunderstorms with occasional tropical rain bearing depressions (ex-tropical cyclones) that commonly impact the Pilbara region of Western Australia. These systems often affect the Eastern Goldfields region several days after crossing the Pilbara coast. The bulk of the winter rainfall is associated with cold fronts, which impact the southern half of Western Australia.
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
4.3 Regional Geology
The Lake Percy project is located within the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt, part of the Southern Cross Domain of the Youanmi Super terrane of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 30). The Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt is approximately 100km long trending north north-west and varies in width from 20km to 2km wide. The Youanmi Super Terrane is bounded by the Eastern Goldfields Domain to the east and the South Western Terrane to the west. Nd isotopic data collected from the Kalgoorlie and Youanmi Terranes is consistent with the interpretation that the Eastern Goldfields Terranes represent younger crustal growth onto the pre-existing Youanmi Terrane (Champion and Sheraton, 1997; Cassidy et al., 2005).

Further, the Lake Johnston greenstone belt is thought to have more similarities to the ForrestaniaSouthern Cross greenstone belt than to the Norseman Wiluna greenstone belt based on the continuous extent of banded iron formation (BIF), and a similar metamorphic grade.

4.4 Regional Exploration History
The Lake Johnston region has historically been outside the focus for mineral exploration in Western Australia, however, some prospecting and shaft sinking for gold was conducted at the turn of the twentieth century. Continued prospecting and modern exploration since the 1960’s led to the discovery www.varm.com.au 49 PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
of nickel at Maggie Hays South during the nickel boom, in the 1970s nickel at Forrestania 70km to the west and in the mid 1980s, discovery of gold at Bounty, at Forrestania by Aztec Minerals with nickel at Forrestania also “rediscovered” by Western Areas in 2002.
In the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt, nickel was first discovered at Maggie Hays South in 1971 by the Union Miniere-Laporte Mining JV, now known as the Maggie Hays South deposit. The Maggie Hays South deposit is the only known outcropping mineralisation in the belt. It is 400 metres south of the Maggie Hays “Main” mine. The deposit consists of low grade (0.9% average Ni), disseminated sulphides above the eastern contact of the Central Ultramafic Unit ( CUU ).
Underground mining at Maggie Hayes commenced in 2001 until 2009 under LionOre and continued from 2011 to 2013. Norilsk Nickel took over ownership of LionOre in 2007 and closed the mine in 2013 due to low nickel prices. In 2014 Poseidon Nickel purchased the mine from owner Norilsk (ASX: POS 3 September 2014 and 13 November 2014).
In total, Emily Ann (a satellite deposit north of Maggie Hays) produced 1.507Mt @ 3.8% Ni for 57,206t of nickel metal (2001-2007), and Maggie Hays produced 10Mt @ 0.6% Ni for ~60,000t of nickel metal (20082013). The current resources for the mining centre are stated at 3.5Mt at 1.5% Ni for 52,000t of nickel metal.
Despite a long history of exploration in the Lake Johnston area, variably thick surficial sediments continue to make discovery a challenge. There is an increasing reliance on geophysics and deep drilling techniques to define bedrock geology and alteration related to mineral systems. In addition, EM techniques, which are effective at identifying massive sulphides are less effective, where conductive banded iron formation is present and disseminated sulphides are present. The intrusive related nickel systems are underexplored in these belts due to these factors.
4.5 Local Geology
The Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt is approximately 100km long trending north north-west and varies in width from 20km to 2km wide. The Belt consists of three main stratigraphic units originally defined by Gower and Bunting (1976). These units are described from oldest to youngest:
Maggie Hays Formation : a thick package of pillowed and massive basalt with an overlying package of basaltic flows interlayered with thin quartz rich sedimentary interbeds towards the top of the unit. The mafic rocks are intruded by ultramafic rocks, dolerite sills, and aligned pods and sills of pyroxenite, gabbro, and leucogabbro. A genetic connection to the vanadium-bearing Lake Medcalf layered intrusion in the southern part of the greenstone belt is possible (Romano and Doublier, 2010).
Honman Formation : a sequence of clastic metasedimentary rocks, Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and felsic volcanics.

Glasse Formation : massive to fine grained basalt. Some amygdaloidal and pillowed horizons are observed. The Formation has a distinct REE signature compared to the Maggie Hays Formation, (Romano 2018).
There are three ultramafic horizons recognised within the stratigraphy; the Eastern within the Maggie Hays Formation, the Central within the Honman Formation, and the Western ultramafic within the Glasse Formation. All of the known economic nickel endowment is located in the Central Ultramafic Unit. Disseminated and low tenor nickel mineralisation is known from the other ultramafic units (Buck et al 1998)
The two main ultramafic units recognised in the Emily Ann — Maggie Hays area, are the Western Ultramafic Unit (WUU) and the Central Ultramafic unit (CUU). A thinner, less explored unit further to the east, the Eastern Ultramafic Unit (EUU) is also known but poorly understood. The WUU and the CUU are separated by a persistent banded iron formation unit which forms a prominent magnetic high ridge. The stratigraphically lower CUU, which hosts the Maggie Hays mineralisation, is dominated by high MgO cumulate facies ultramafic rocks ranging in composition from olivine orthocumulate to olivine mesocumulate. Minor pyroxenites and mafic differentiates are recognised. The WUU is dominated by thin-flow, spinifex textured low MgO ultramafic rocks, though in places smaller units of higher MgO rocks are recognised. The stratigraphic relationships between the Eastern and Central/Western ultramafic units are not certain because of the early thrust faulting (WAMEX A115161).
The age of the belt comes directly from the dating by Wang (1996) of two volcanic units from the Maggie Hays nickel prospect. A sample from the footwall to the komatiites that host the nickel mineralisation gives an age of 2921 ± 4 Ma, whereas a sample from the hanging wall gives an age of 2903 ± 5 Ma. These results constrain the age of the primary nickel mineralisation and the host komatiites, both of which appear older than the dates from the Norseman area.
Granitic rocks in the area consist of two phases dated from around 2770Ma and 2720-2710Ma and are considered part of the Lake Johnston zone. The granite domes have axes of intrusion parallel to the Lake Johnston belt trend, intrude into the greenstone package and in places form anticlinal cores to the stratigraphy. According to Romano et al (2013), the granites intrude further into the stratigraphy at the anticlinal cores than at the margins which are parallel to the regional trend. Later post kinematic granites are dated at younger than 2660Ma.
At least 4 deformation events are recognised within the belt varying from zones of intense shearing and boudinage, as observed within the felsic volcanic rocks, to undeformed igneous and sedimentary textures observed within the komatiite and sedimentary rocks (Joly et al., 2008).
The first phase (D1) consists of north north-east, south south-west shortening, responsible for the development of large fold nappes, followed by static prograde metamorphism to amphibolite facies during emplacement of granitoid intrusions.
51

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
D2 consists of shortening due to north north-west, south south-east to north-west-south-east–directed dextral shearing under peak metamorphic conditions.
The D3 event is an east-west shortening indicated from the development of crenulation cleavage.
The final deformation event (D4) is characterised by steeply dipping north northeast trending dextral brittle faults.
The belt has been metamorphosed from upper-greenschist to amphibolite facies with peak pressures of 5 to 7 kbars and temperatures of 596°C to 678°C (Joly et al., 2008).
The regional geology of the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt and Project area, includes significant, nickel and lithium mineral deposits and prospects and is shown in Figure 31.

The Lake Percy project covers the northern part of the Lake Johnston greenstone belt. Aeromagnetic data and interpretation from mapping and drilling shows geology is dominated by banded iron formations, sediments, basaltic and komatiitic ultramafic units and is intruded by various suites of granite (Figure 31).
There is extensive regolith as in-situ lateritisation and there is evidence to interpret that some of the area is covered by transported sands.
The project is located southeast of laterite nickel-cobalt prospects at Cat Camp. On the aeromagnetic image lithological trends are obvious, with the basal mafic/ultramafic units that host nickel prospects historically considered by previous explorers to be comparable to the units that host the Maggies Hays and Emily Ann nickel sulphide deposits.
The previous geological interpretation by LionOre/Norilsk invoked folding and thrust repetition to explain the ultramafic stratigraphy at Lake Percy. In 2013 a new geological interpretation by White Cliffs (A99724) considered that the Western Ultramafic Unit (WUU) is actually a detached and folded section of the Central Ultramafic Unit (CUU) which youngs to the north and east (folded 180 degrees). The new interpretation has important implications for nickel sulphide exploration. Historical drilling focussed on the eastern (upper) contact of the WUU and was oriented around 60 degrees to the west potentially parallel to the dip of the strata. Therefore, most of the drilling did not adequate test the contact as the drilling was mainly down dip and would have tested the upper contact of the cumulate unit rather than the more prospective basal contact.
4.5 Previous Exploration
Nickel
Exploration for nickel in the Lake Percy Area dates back to the late 1960s and early 1970s when Kennecott first explored for Nickel. In the late 1970s Anaconda also explored for nickel followed by gold exploration in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Forrestania Gold and Aztec Mining before Maggie Hays Nickel recommenced Nickel exploration in the early to mid-1990s. The ground was then held and sporadically explored by LionOre and Norilsk and then sold by Norilsk to Poseidon Nickel who ultimately relinquished the southern part of the project area in the early 2010s and northern part in 2018. In 2012 White Cliffs NL commenced nickel exploration on the southern part of the project, drilling RC and diamond drillholes and conducting further EM surveying before joint venturing it out to Liontown in 2016 who explored for pegmatite hosted lithium. Dynamic’s precursor company Jindalee applied for the area in 2019 and 2021.
Historic nickel exploration has largely consisted of extensive costeaning, mapping, ground and airborne EM, RAB, Aircore, RC and Diamond drilling along the basal ultramafic trends which host cumulate and thin flow ultramafics interleaved with BIF, mafic volcanics and sediments (Figure 32). From the mid-1990s exploration was conducted for nickel sulphides by Aztec Mining and the Lake Johnston Joint Venture partners (LionOre, formerly Maggie Hays Nickel). Concepts developed during the exploration and delineation of the Maggie Hays and Emily Ann deposits were applied to the Lake Percy area with most of the work concentrated on the southern ultramafic unit and the most northern ultramafic unit. The best

nickel results are associated with the southern unit, where a siliceous lateritic cap overlies the ultramafic unit. Several diamond holes have tested deeper into fresh rock. Such as LJPC075 which intersected 7m at 0.73% Ni from 117m.

Several of the White Cliff Minerals and LionOre holes series LPDD and LPRC drilled EM conductors which represent a sulphidic stratigraphic contact likely of sedimentary origin or an exhalative horizon. The electromagnetic anomalies modelled by White Cliff Minerals all dip between 45 and 70 degrees to the west and strike between west-northwest and north south (A99724, A97539).
LPDD005 and 006 were not assayed, however Spot XRF analyses were taken every metre. A spot result of 2.38% Ni was returned from LPDD006 from 210m with associated S of 1.4% and a probable sedimentary exhalative pyritic horizon from 77m-85m in LPDD005.
LPDD004 was drilled to follow up on a historical nickel intersection of 6 metres at 1.7% Ni on the contact of the interpreted CUU (the southernmost magnetic ultramafic unit) and a felsic intrusion. The drill hole encountered highly lateritised ultramafic cap rock followed by saprolite before intersecting an ultramafic intrusion from 36m to 75m. The intrusion has low MgO at around 0.5% and high nickel of around 2000ppm. From 75m the lithology is logged as pegmatite. Silver, copper, and tungsten mineralisation was identified on the upper and lower contact of the intrusion with the upper contact returning 2m at 72g/t Ag, 158ppm Cu and 158ppm W and the lower contact from 69m at 1m at 144 g/t Ag, 962ppm Cu and 58ppm W.
On the most prospective southern ultramafic unit, LPRC007 was drilled to follow up LPDD004 and returned assay results from 24m, 32m at 0.53% Ni, 176ppm Cu, 226ppm Co in the lateritic weathering profile. The hole also intersected pegmatite below a thin sediment contact. Limited multi-elements (no
55

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
lithium, niobium, caesium or tantalum) were assayed for, however the pegmatite has detectable and elevated Ag, As Bi Sb.
Soil sampling by White Cliff Minerals (A103314) around the undrilled south-eastern ultramafic unit and southern fold closure showed elevated Ni/Cr and Cu/Zn ratios which are used to identify prospective areas for nickel sulphides. An EM conductor on the interpreted basal ultramafic contact was also modelled.
Further exploration focussed in this south-eastern folded area by Dynamic is warranted.
Lithium
A review of lithium potential by Porter (2022) concluded the Lake Percy project tenements are prospective due to the presence of a low-Ca granite nearby. Regionally spodumene bearing pegmatites have been identified 20 km to the south at Mt Day-Lake Johnson and in drilling over the Lake Percy area by previous explorers (A99724, 97539)
Lithium exploration by Liontown in JV with White Cliff Minerals, drill tested outcropping areas of pegmatite, where surface soil and rock chips indicated elevated lithium. Within the project area several low-Ca granites have intruded into the stratigraphy and pegmatites related to these intrusions these have penetrated some distance along the north-west trending bedding. These pegmatites have been identified in outcrop, in drilling and also uncovered in historical trenching. Analysis of the granitoids and resulting pegmatites showed elevated REE’s and associated elements such as zirconium, niobium, lithium, hafnium, potassium, and tantalum.
In 2016, Liontown Resources drilled 6 RC holes LPRC008-0014 drilled to test pegmatite targets. Chips were assayed for Li, Sn, Ta Nb. No anomalies were returned.
LPDD006 drilled by White Cliff Minerals intersected a pegmatite interval with lithium values up to 659 ppm
Gold
Gold exploration in the Lake Percy area focused on regional sampling in areas deemed amenable to near surface soil and auger sampling identifying a number of large gold anomalies the most significant being centred over the basal western contact of the western most ultramafic unit. Limited wide spaced follow up RAB drilled failed to identify a regolith or bedrock source to the soil anomalism.
4.6 Exploration Potential
The exploration potential is for massive and disseminated nickel sulphides associated with ultramafic intrusions and high Mg komatiites and Lithium in Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Of particular interest at Lake Percy is the highly nickel anomalous western ultramafic unit which has been historically correlated to the mineralised units at Maggie Hays. Work to determine the facing (younging direction of the stratigraphy) and mafic ultramafic stratigraphy using relogging, EM modelling and geochemistry may determine opportunities where the prospective basal contact of the unit has not been tested. Soil sampling by White Cliff Minerals in the south-eastern ultramafic fold closure area may also warrant drill testing once stratigraphy has been determined.
LCT pegmatites and anomalous lithium in soils have been noted (ASX: LTR 27 October 2016) and drilled in 2017 (A114526, 97359) with some lithium anomalism. More regionally the area also has noted LCT rich pegmatites (spodumene noted) at Mt Day 20km to the southeast by GSWA and Lithium Australia (ASX:LIT 25 October 2016). Further drill testing around existing drilling anomalies is warranted.

5. Deep Well
5.1 Location Access and Tenure
The Deep Well Tenements are located approximately 30km east to southeast of Meekatharra. The access is via Murchison Downs Rd, Goldfields Highway and numerous pastoral station tracks within the Sherwood and Murchison Downs pastoral leases.
5.2 Climate
The Murchison Goldfields region has a semi-arid climate with hot summers and mild winters. The climatic information, sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au), is for the Meekatharra Airport. During January, the mean maximum temperatures is 38.3°C. In July, the average maximum is 19.2°C and mean low is 7.4°C. It is rare for the minimum temperature to fall below zero. The rainfall, which averages 234.9mm per year, occurs throughout the year, with an average of approximately 1–3 days of rain per month.
Rainfall during the summer period is dominated by scattered thunderstorms with occasional tropical rainbearing depressions (ex-tropical cyclones) that commonly impact the Pilbara region of Western Australia. These systems often affect the Eastern Goldfields region several days after crossing the Pilbara coast. The bulk of the winter rainfall is associated with cold fronts that impact the southern half of Western Australia.
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
5.3 Regional Geology
The Project area covers the southern extension of the Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt situated at the northeastern most boundary of the Archaean Murchison Domain with the Southern Cross Domain both part of the Youanmi Terrane within the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia
Much of the late history of the Murchison Domain, from 2720 to 2630 Ma, is similar and contemporaneous with events that also affected the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane, part of the Yilgarn craton. Shared events include komatiitic-basaltic volcanism at ca. 2720 Ma, followed by widespread felsic magmatism (2690–2660 Ma), early deformation at 2675 Ma, shear-hosted gold mineralisation at 2660–2630 Ma, and post-tectonic granites at ca. 2630 Ma. In addition, the whole craton experienced a period of maficultramafic magmatism (komatiitic–basaltic volcanic rocks, layered mafic-ultramafic complexes, and gabbros) at ca. 2810 Ma, indicating a shared early history.
The area is dominated by a typical Archaean greenstone sequence which usually consists of a basal mafic to ultramafic unit overlain by mafic volcanics, then felsic rocks and finally a series of sedimentary– volcaniclastic sediments. This general stratigraphic sequence is observed in multiple greenstone belts within the Yilgarn Craton and other Archaean granite–greenstone terrains globally. Ivanic et al. (2013)

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
reinterpreted the Murchison lithostratigraphy based on new mapping and geochronology in 2009 (Figure 33).
The geology consists of the following four greenstone sequences:
(1) ca 2960–2935 Ma mafic and felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks in the southern part of the domain.
(2) ca 2825–2805 Ma mafic volcanic rocks, felsic volcaniclastic sandstones and banded iron formation (BIF) (Norie Group) throughout the domain.
(3) ca 2800–2735 Ma mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks, intermediate to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, and BIF (Polelle Group) throughout the domain.
(4) ca 2735–2700 Ma coarse clastic sedimentary rocks, komatiitic basalt and minor rhyolite (Glen Group).
Five suites of granitic rocks have intruded the Murchison Supergroup both synchronously with the volcanism and post deformation. Two of the suites have been folded and metamorphosed and are now pegmatite-banded gneiss and voluminous recrystallised monzogranite. The other three suites, postfolding granitoids, Suite I and Suite II, retain igneous mineralogy and textures. The post-deformational granites only intrude the greenstone sequences.
Deformation consists of four events: two early periods of greenstone tilting (D1 = 2930–2825 Ma; D2 = 2735 Ma) – possibly associated with crustal extension – and two later (c. 2680–2640 Ma) periods of deformation resulting in tight to isoclinal folding of greenstones. D3 structures include steeply-plunging, east–west trending folds of greenstones and open domes of granitic rocks, which formed during a period of inferred partial convective overturn of dense greenstone upper crust and partially molten granitic middle crust at c. 2675 Ma. Overprinting D4 structures developed in response to strong east–west compression, resulting in broad, splayed, north–northeast striking dextral shear zones, upright, north to north–northeast trending folds, and minor north–northwest striking sinistral shear zones.
Gold mineralisation tends to be focused in regions of D4 dextral shear and/or low-pressure domains in fold interference structures.

The Gnaweeda Greenstone Belt is narrow and arcuate up to ten kilometres wide in the northern portion and decreasing to less than one kilometre in the south, separated from the adjacent sub-parallel Murchison Province greenstones by a belt of gneissic granitoid, 7km to the east. The Evanston-Edale Shear Zone, a 500km long shear zone/terrain boundary that extends across the eastern margin of the Gnaweeda belt, the Barrambie and Sandstone greenstone belts further south runs north to south through the centre of the tenement.
Several mafic-ultramafic bodies with surrounding sedimentary rocks are entrained within the EvanstonEdale Shear Zone and are associated with high amplitude magnetic anomalies along the trend of the
60

shear zone/terrain boundary. These bodies may be part of the Gnaweeda Greenstone belt or the Meeline suite of mafic to ultramafic intrusive complexes.
5.4 Regional Exploration History
The Murchison Belt has a long history of gold discovery and production dating back to the early 1900s. The Paddys Flat gold camp at Meekatharra has produced over 3Moz and is currently operated by Westgold. 40km to the north of the project within the Gnaweeda Greenstone belt, the Turnberry Deposit, and the St Annes prospect further to the south currently held by Meeka Minerals Ltd hosts steeply dipping orogenic load deposits.
Along the 30 km strike length of the belt, other historic gold workings (e.g., Bunarra, Mistletoe, Gnaweeda) are associated with kilometre-scale RAB drill hole gold-arsenic anomalies. The gold mineralisation is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veining hosted by sheared mafic rocks with carbonate-sericitequartz-silica-albite-pyrite (± arsenopyrite, tourmaline) alteration. Quartz porphyry is present at some prospects. Rock chip samples of the Bunarra South gossan have returned up to 25 g/t silver. Drill holes beneath the gossan intersected pyritic graphitic shales in a sequence of felsic to intermediate volcanics that contain narrow zones of up to 1% zinc, 0.42% copper and 2.5 g/t silver (A98949).
Along the trend of the Evanston-Edale shear and the Gnaweeda Greenstone belt previous exploration has been conducted by Archean Star Resources Pty Ltd, Teck, Alicanto and Newcrest and documented in various WAMEX reports listed in section 13.4.
5.5 Local Geology
Minor greenstone is present in small areas of outcrop with granite dominant. Regolith material is dominated by pisolitic laterite and duricrust with subordinate sandy alluvial/lacustrine sediments and saprolitic clays. Alluvial and colluvial covers varies from less than 5m up to 18m thick.
It is unknown whether the outcropping mafic and ultramafics are part of the Gnaweeda Greenstone belt or are intrusive bodies and part of the Meeline Suite of Intrusions which include the Barrambie Igneous complex along the same shear zone further to the southeast.
The mapped geology of the area within the Deep Well project is from the Gabanintha 1:100,000 geology map sheet (Romano, 2018) of the GSWA. The geology comprises several pendants of amphibolite derived from mafic volcanic and intrusive rocks that may be locally schistose and include metamorphosed BIF. These mafic bodies are entrained within the crustal-scale Evanston-Edale Shear Zone which on the western side forms the contact with foliated monzogranite intrusive rocks.
Elsewhere, foliated monzogranite appears to be in intrusive contact with the supracrustal lithologies. Mapping by the current holder M61 Holdings indicates many of the bodies entrained along the EvanstonEdale Shear Zone comprise mostly fresh ultramafic-mafic rocks with associated fine-grained sedimentary rocks that are strongly folded. Mafic-ultramafic bodies are themselves often strongly deformed,
61

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
particularly along their margins, but in places have massive, undeformed zones internally. Intensely weathered, finely laminated shale and siltstone lithologies are exposed along the eastern contact of the mafic-ultramafic units along with series of possible gossan outcropping at or near the contact.
At least five gossan ‘clusters’ comprising eight possible gossan horizons have been identified over a strike length of more than 6 km.
Regolith within the Deep Well tenement is highly variable. The northern part of the project is largely covered by transported alluvium associated several east-draining braided stream systems. Limited historical drilling in this area records cover depths up to 20m. The southern part of the tenements are characterised by a highly dissected terrain geomorphologically comprising an elevated relict Tertiary land surface, incised by large breakaways & erosive areas. Transported cover in this area is relatively thin. (Goddard 2022).
5.6 Previous Exploration
Within the project tenement area, from 1995-1999 Mines and Resources Australia Pty Ltd (MRA) drilled 44 first pass reconnaissance RAB holes along wide spaced traverses.
In 2015 and 2016 Doray in joint venture with Mithril conducted an airborne geophysical survey over the project area as part of the regional aeromagnetic survey flown across the whole Andy Well-Gnaweeda tenement package. The survey was designed to increase the quality and resolution of existing aeromagnetic datasets and to improve the resolvable geological and structural detail for more accurate target identification.
Doray drilled 12 Aircore holes for a total of 394m with drilling testing the southern belt potential to host economic gold mineralisation as the continuation of the prospective Archean stratigraphy hosting the Turnberry gold deposit to the north. The drill lines were designed on 40m spaced drill holes east west oriented perpendicular to the north south trending stratigraphy. Most of the gold values detected were below the limit of 1ppb. The main lithologies encountered were granitoids with minor felsic volcanics, mafic dolerites and ultramafics. No samples were assayed for nickel, or PGEs.
Alicanto Resources conducted rock chip sampling and resampling of the bottom of hole from the MRA RAB holes from the late 1990s returning anomalous gold and base metal results (A98949).
In 2020, M61 Holdings recognised a highly anomalous GSWA regional laterite sample (Cornelius et al 2007) that was associated with mapped mafic-ultramafic rocks along the Evanston-Edale Shear Zone and the tenements applied for in 2000 and 2021. Follow-up reconnaissance work to confirm the GSWA sample resulted in the identification of several gossan outcrops associated with the mafic ultramafic bodies.

5.7 Current Exploration
Over the course of several field trips, geological reconnaissance work by M61 Holdings Pty Ltd in 2021 has resulted in the collection of a total of 53 gossan, laterite, saprolite and drill chip spoil pile samples. Analysis has been undertaken for precious and multi-elements, along with 10 samples for whole rock geochemistry.
Assaying returned a series of strongly anomalous Ni, Cu, Co, Au, Pt Pd results associated with gossaneous material over a strike length of 6km (Table 4). Some rocks have MgO values up to 30% indicating an ultramafic precursor. Two areas with strong anomalism are also associated with discrete magnetic highs Figure 34 and Figure 35.

7. Generative Tenements
Dynamic and Jindalee have a history of generating projects through opportunistic tenement applications adjacent to or along strike of existing mining operations or advanced projects and through identifying underexplored and previously unrecognised exploration potential. This has resulted in 44 tenements (granted and applications), covering 2,030km[2] being lodged. There are currently seven granted tenements covering 161km[2] and 37 tenement applications covering 1870km[2] . Some of the tenement applications are competing with other applicants with the final tenement areas potentially granted to Dynamic to be determined by a ballot in accordance with the Western Australian Mining Act. This will determine the priority of the competing tenement applications and the area that may be granted to Dynamic. Therefore, there is uncertainty if any of the tenements that have competing applications will eventually be granted to Dynamic. Due to the uncertainty in the tenement status and the lack of an exploration budget for the tenement applications, and the geologically and geographically diverse location of the granted tenements VRM considers that these tenements currently have minimal exploration potential and only a brief description of the geology, previous exploration and exploration targets within the granted tenements should be provided in this report.
Some of the granted and tenement applications consist of small tenements that are “filling” gaps in existing tenements or small tenements granted as a result of compulsory reduction or the surrender of previous tenements.
All of the granted tenements are single tenements, however for several of these tenements, Dynamic have tenement applications adjacent to the granted tenements.
A brief summary of the seven granted tenements including the dominant geological feature and stratigraphy, a summary of previous drilling and any MINEDEX prospects are contained in Table 5 below.

9.0 Risks and Opportunities
The data included in this Report and the basis of the interpretations herein have been derived from a compilation of data included in annual technical reports sourced from the Western Australian Mineral Exploration reports ( WAMEX reports) compiled by way of historical tenement database searches. There are two potential sources of uncertainty associated with this type of compilation. The first is that significant material information may not have been identified in the data compilation, while the second potential risk is associated with the timely release of the exploration reports. Under the current regulations associated with annual technical reporting, any report linked to a current tenement that is less than five years old remains confidential and the company can also make submissions to ensure the reports remain confidential for longer periods. Finally, the historical reports are not all digitally available. Therefore, obtaining the historical reports often requires extremely time-consuming and costly searches in the DMIRS library. There is also duplication and compilation errors associated with several of the publicly available data compilations; this is commonly associated with multiple reporting of the exploration activities by different tenement managers using different grid references for the exploration activities. As such, these data may not be available and may have material errors that could have a material impact on potential exploration decisions.
Often the historical exploration reports do not include or discuss the use of quality assurance and quality control ( QAQC ) procedures as part of the sampling programs, this data frequently not reported. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the validity of much of the historical samples, even where original assays are reported. It is common for different grid systems to be reported in exploration reports including local grids. A review of drill hole locations against large-scale satellite images and historical exploration plans has revealed that some holes may be mislocated, either as result of incorrect grid reference, or due to errors in original location. The inability to properly validate all the exploration data reported herein, which has an impact on the proposed exploration, increases the exploration risk. Previous mining can limit potential drill pad locations or limit the drill sites to less optimal locations, especially regarding drill hole data collected before the common use of GPS.
There are environmental, safety and regulatory risks associated with exploration within an area where there has been historical exploration, including potential rehabilitation liabilities.
There are no Mineral Resource estimates prepared under the guidelines of the JORC Code 2012 within any of the projects. Mineral exploration, by its very nature has significant risks, especially for early-stage projects. Based on the industry-wide exploration success rates it is possible that no additional significant economic mineralisation will be located within any of the projects. Even in the event significant mineralisation does exist within the projects, factors both in and out of the control of Dynamic may prevent the location or development of such mineralisation.
This may include, but is not limited to, factors such as community consultation and agreements, metallurgical, mining, and environmental considerations, availability and suitability of processing facilities or capital to build appropriate facilities, regulatory guidelines and restrictions, ability to develop
71

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
infrastructure appropriately, and mine closure processes. In addition, variations in commodity prices, saleability of commodities and other factors outside the control of the Company may have either negative or positive impacts on the projects that may be defined.
The tenements have no publicly registered heritage sites at the date of this report. It is possible however, that additional surveys may identify heritage sites. VRM notes that heritage surveys have previously been undertaken in the area, with no new sites registered, and that exploration has been undertaken within the projects in the past.
At the time of writing this Report the impact of COVID-19 is being felt globally with waves of infections in many parts of the world, including hotspots in Australia. While to date the mining industry and resources sector has adapted quickly and largely continued business activities throughout this time, the potential risks for future exploration in the near future remains unclear.
Changes to commodity prices and access to capital to fund exploration can be considered as both risks and opportunities.
Within the three main projects there are also several opportunities that have been recently identified. These include:
At the Widgiemooltha Project, the opportunity to conduct further drilling focused along the already identified highly prospective geological trends in lithium, gold and nickel is high. The area is emerging rapidly as a premier lithium province, and it is likely that further sampling and prospecting will highlight further prospectivity on Dynamics tenements.
At the Lake Percy project the opportunity is the define nickel mineralisation along a basal contact which has been only recently reinterpreted and hence poorly tested. Further where the same horizon extends to the south east and is folded the fold hinge presents as an attractive target.
At Deep Well, recent prospecting and mapping along the Evanston-Edale Shear Zone has defined new occurrences with a strong nickel sulphide signature. The opportunity is for Dynamic to conduct the first drilling into these completely untested targets.

10.0 Proposed Exploration
To achieve the exploration strategy, it is expected that Dynamic will undertake distinctly different exploration activities within each of the projects as summarised below.
10.1. Widgiemooltha Project
Within the Widgiemooltha Project, Dynamic has proposed the following:
Widgiemooltha exploration budgets are allotted to RC drilling the Dordie Far West nickel target, scout Aircore drilling at the Sunday Soak nickel target and Aircore drilling at the Mandilla Southeast and Higginsville gold targets. The information generated from these drill programs will be used for geological and geochemical studies to generate follow up drilling targets.
The budget also has provision for targeted surface geochemistry programmes will be undertaken to generate further lithium, nickel and gold targets within the Widgiemooltha Project.
This includes surface sampling, surface geological mapping and auger drilling of targets generated from initial work.
10.2. Lake Percy Project
Within the Lake Percy Project, Dynamic has proposed the following:
Lake Percy exploration budgets are allotted to an Aircore drilling program to be conducted in two phases. The drilling targets areas of historic nickel in drill hole anomalism coincident with prospective magnetic features. The information derived from each phase of the Aircore drilling will provide information to improve the geological and geochemical understanding of the nickel mineralising environment to generate deeper drilling targets.
The Lake Percy budget includes provision for early-stage lithium exploration work which includes surface sampling and geological studies.
10.3. Deep Well Project
Within the Deep Well Project, Dynamic has proposed the following:
Deep Well exploration budgets are allotted to the completion of a heritage survey to allow for an initial scout Aircore drilling program to test the nickel targets generated by rock chip sampling completed to date. The information generated by the scout drilling will be used for geological and geochemical studies and to define targets that require deeper drill testing.
10.4. Regional Generative Projects
Within the Regional Projects, Dynamic has proposed the following:
73
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Exploration budgets proposed for Dynamic Metals’ WA Generative exploration supports geological studies and targeted surface geochemical surveys.
VRM has reviewed the proposed two-year budget and it is considered appropriate and reasonable for the mineralisation styles within the Projects and the stage of exploration. The proposed exploration budget for the minimum raising exceeds the minimum required expenditure commitment for Dynamic Metals’ Projects.

Note: * Activities on tenement applications budgeted in year two is subject to relevant approvals being received ** Drilling in year two is dependent on positive results from year one activities
In VRM’s opinion the proposed exploration budget and work programs are valid, consistent with the exploration potential within Dynamics’ projects and broadly in line with the current exploration costs in Western Australia. The exploration budget as presented includes exploration drilling at all granted tenements; however, the exact number and depth of these drill holes is not sufficiently advanced to document in this Report. The proposed exploration budget is sufficient to meet the statutory minimum exploration expenditure on the granted tenements, which is $545,120.

14. Glossary
Below are brief descriptions of some terms used in this report. For further information or for terms that
are not described here, please refer to internet sources such as Webmineral www.webmineral.com, Wikipedia www.wikipedia.org,
The following terms are taken from the 2015 VALMIN Code.
Annual Report means a document published by public corporations on a yearly basis to provide shareholders, the public and the government with financial data, a summary of ownership and the accounting practices used to prepare the report.
Australasian means Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and their offshore territories. Code of Ethics means the Code of Ethics of the relevant Professional Organisation or Recognised Professional Organisations.
Corporations Act means the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Experts are persons defined in the Corporations Act whose profession or reputation gives authority to a statement made by him or her in relation to a matter. A Practitioner may be an Expert. Also see Clause 2.1.
Exploration Results is defined in the current version of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Refer to http://www.jorc.org for further information.
Feasibility Study means a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a Pre-feasibility Study.
Financial Reporting Standards means Australian statements of generally accepted accounting practice in the relevant jurisdiction in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act.
Independent Expert’s Report means a Public Report as may be required by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules of the ASX or other security exchanges prepared by a Practitioner who is acknowledged as being independent of the Commissioning Entity. Also see ASIC Regulatory Guides RG 111 and RG 112 as well as Clause 5.5 of the VALMIN Code for guidance on Independent Expert Reports.
Information Memoranda means documents used in financing of projects detailing the project and financing arrangements.
Investment Value means the benefit of an asset to the owner or prospective owner for individual investment or operational objectives.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Life-of-Mine Plan means a design and costing study of an existing or proposed mining operation where all Modifying Factors have been considered in sufficient detail to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified. Such a study should be inclusive of all development and mining activities proposed through to the effective closure of the existing or proposed mining operation.
Market Value means the estimated amount of money (or the cash equivalent of some other consideration) for which the Mineral Asset should exchange on the date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after appropriate marketing wherein the parties each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Also see Clause 8.1 for guidance on Market Value.
Materiality or being Material requires that a Public Report contains all the relevant information that investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require, and reasonably expect to find in the report, for the purpose of making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the Technical Assessment or Mineral Asset Valuation being reported. Where relevant information is not supplied, an explanation must be provided to justify its exclusion. Also see Clause 3.2 for guidance on what is Material.
Member means a person who has been accepted and entitled to the post-nominals associated with the AIG or the AusIMM or both. Alternatively, it may be a person who is a member of a Recognised Professional Organisation included in a list promulgated from time to time.
Mineable means those parts of the mineralised body, both economic and uneconomic, that are extracted or to be extracted during the normal course of mining.
Mineral Asset means all property including (but not limited to) tangible property, intellectual property, mining and exploration Tenure and other rights held or acquired in connection with the exploration, development of and production from those Tenures. This may include the plant, equipment, and infrastructure owned or acquired for the development, extraction, and processing of Minerals in connection with that Tenure.
Most Mineral Assets can be classified as either:
(a) Early-stage Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where mineralisation may or may not have been identified, but where Mineral Resources have not been identified.
(b) Advanced Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where considerable exploration has been undertaken and specific targets identified that warrant further detailed evaluation, usually by drill testing, trenching or some other form of detailed geological sampling. A Mineral Resource estimate may or may not have been made, but sufficient work will have been undertaken on at least one prospect to provide both a good understanding of the type of mineralisation present and encouragement that further work will elevate one or more of the prospects to the Mineral Resources category.
(c) Pre-Development Projects – Tenure holdings where Mineral Resources have been identified and their extent estimated (possibly incompletely), but where a decision to proceed with development has not been made. Properties at the early assessment stage, properties for which a decision has been made not to proceed with development, properties on care and maintenance and properties held on retention titles are included in this category if Mineral Resources have been identified, even if no further work is being undertaken.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
(d) Development Projects – Tenure holdings for which a decision has been made to proceed with construction or production or both, but which are not yet commissioned or operating at design levels. Economic viability of Development Projects will be proven by at least a PreFeasibility Study.
(e) Production Projects – Tenure holdings – particularly mines, wellfields, and processing plants
– that have been commissioned and are in production.
Mine Design means a framework of mining components and processes taking into account mining methods, access to the Mineralisation, personnel, material handling, ventilation, water, power, and other technical requirements spanning commissioning, operation, and closure so that mine planning can be undertaken.
Mine Planning includes production planning, scheduling and economic studies within the Mine Design taking into account geological structures and mineralisation, associated infrastructure and constraints, and other relevant aspects that span commissioning, operation, and closure.
Mineral means any naturally occurring material found in or on the Earth’s crust that is either useful to or has a value placed on it by humankind, or both. This excludes hydrocarbons, which are classified as Petroleum.
Mineralisation means any single mineral or combination of minerals occurring in a mass, or deposit, of economic interest. The term is intended to cover all forms in which mineralisation might occur, whether by class of deposit, mode of occurrence, genesis, or composition.
Mineral Project means any exploration, development, or production activity, including a royalty or similar interest in these activities, in respect of Minerals.
Mineral Securities means those Securities issued by a body corporate or an unincorporated body whose business includes exploration, development or extraction and processing of Minerals.
Mineral Resources is defined in the current version of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Refer to http://www.jorc.org for further information.
Mining means all activities related to extraction of Minerals by any method (e.g., quarries, open cast, open cut, solution mining, dredging etc).
Mining Industry means the business of exploring for, extracting, processing, and marketing Minerals.
Modifying Factors is defined in the current version of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Refer to http://www.jorc.org for further information.
Ore Reserves is defined in the current version of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Refer to http://www.jorc.org for further information.
Petroleum means any naturally occurring hydrocarbon in a gaseous or liquid state, including coal-based methane, tar sands and oil-shale.
Petroleum Resource and Petroleum Reserve are defined in the current version of the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the World Petroleum Council, and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers. Refer to http://www.spe.org for further information.

Practitioner is an Expert as defined in the Corporations Act, who prepares a Public Report on a Technical Assessment or Valuation Report for Mineral Assets. This collective term includes Specialists and Securities Experts.
Preliminary Feasibility Study (Pre-Feasibility Study) means a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the Modifying Factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors that are sufficient for a Competent Person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resources may be converted to an Ore Reserve at the time of reporting. A Pre-Feasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than a Feasibility Study.
Professional Organisation means a self-regulating body, such as one of engineers or geoscientists or of both, that:
(a) admits members primarily on the basis of their academic qualifications and professional experience.
(b) requires compliance with professional standards of expertise and behaviour according to a Code of Ethics established by the organisation; and
(c) has enforceable disciplinary powers, including that of suspension or expulsion of a member, should its Code of Ethics be breached.
Public Presentation means the process of presenting a topic or project to a public audience. It may include, but not be limited to, a demonstration, lecture or speech meant to inform, persuade, or build good will.
Public Report means a report prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers when making investment decisions, or to satisfy regulatory requirements. It includes, but is not limited to, Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports, press releases, Information Memoranda, Technical Assessment Reports, Valuation Reports, Independent Expert Reports, website postings and Public Presentations. Also see Clause 5 for guidance on Public Reports.
Quarterly Report means a document published by public corporations on a quarterly basis to provide shareholders, the public and the government with financial data, a summary of ownership and the accounting practices used to prepare the report.
Reasonableness implies that an assessment which is impartial, rational, realistic, and logical in its treatment of the inputs to a Valuation or Technical Assessment has been used, to the extent that another Practitioner with the same information would make a similar Technical Assessment or Valuation.
Royalty or Royalty Interest means the amount of benefit accruing to the royalty owner from the royalty share of production.
Securities has the meaning as defined in the Corporations Act.
Securities Expert are persons whose profession, reputation or experience provides them with the authority to assess or value Securities in compliance with the requirements of the Corporations Act, ASIC Regulatory Guides and ASX Listing Rules.

Scoping Study means an order of magnitude technical and economic study of the potential viability of Mineral Resources. It includes appropriate assessments of realistically assumed Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that progress to a Pre-Feasibility Study can be reasonably justified.
Specialists are persons whose profession, reputation, or relevant industry experience in a technical discipline (such as geology, mine engineering or metallurgy) provides them with the authority to assess or value Mineral Assets.
Status in relation to Tenure means an assessment of the security of title to the Tenure. Technical Assessment is an evaluation prepared by a Specialist of the technical aspects of a Mineral Asset. Depending on the development status of the Mineral Asset, a Technical Assessment may include the review of geology, mining methods, metallurgical processes and recoveries, provision of infrastructure and environmental aspects.
Technical Assessment Report involves the Technical Assessment of elements that may affect the economic benefit of a Mineral Asset.
Technical Value is an assessment of a Mineral Asset’s future net economic benefit at the Valuation Date under a set of assumptions deemed most appropriate by a Practitioner, excluding any premium or discount to account for market considerations.
Tenure is any form of title, right, licence, permit or lease granted by the responsible government in accordance with its mining legislation that confers on the holder certain rights to explore for and/or extract agreed minerals that may be (or is known to be) contained. Tenure can include third-party ownership of the Minerals (for example, a royalty stream). Tenure and Title have the same connotation as Tenement.
Transparency or being Transparent requires that the reader of a Public Report is provided with sufficient information, the presentation of which is clear and unambiguous, to understand the report and not be misled by this information or by omission of Material information that is known to the Practitioner.
Valuation is the process of determining the monetary Value of a Mineral Asset at a set Valuation Date.
Valuation Approach means a grouping of valuation methods for which there is a common underlying rationale or basis.
Valuation Date means the reference date on which the monetary amount of a Valuation in real (dollars of the day) terms is current. This date could be different from the dates of finalisation of the Public Report or the cut-off date of available data. The Valuation Date and date of finalisation of the Public Report must not be more than 12 months apart.
Valuation Methods means a subset of Valuation Approaches and may represent variations on a common rationale or basis.
Valuation Report expresses an opinion as to monetary Value of a Mineral Asset but specifically excludes commentary on the value of any related Securities.
Value means the Market Value of a Mineral Asset.

The only material exploration activities undertaken on the three projects by Dynamic Metals has been a data compilation and historic exploration review. Dynamic Metals has not undertaken drilling, surface sampling or any other exploration activity that is reportable in a JORC table, therefore the information contained in the JORC Table 1 is associated with historical activities which have been previously reported by ASX listed companies and included in Annual Technical reports which are detailed in Section 3 above.

Given the nature of the data presented in the historical reports, VRM considers that the surface geochemistry, auger, RAB, Aircore, RC and diamond drill core sampling have been conducted using industry standard practices; however, details have largely not been documented in the historical reports used to compile this ITAR and for the most part, are not included in the JORC Code Table 1 here.

- – Appendix F JORC Code Table 1 Deep Well Project
Material exploration activities undertaken on the Deep Well Project by Dynamic Metals and its Joint Venture partner have been rock chip surface sampling and open file magnetic survey interpretation. The information contained in the JORC Table 1 is split into recent surface sampling and historical activities which have been previously reported by ASX listed companies and included in Annual Technical reports which are detailed in Sections above.
Historic Deep Well Project exploration information including drilling, sampling and assay results is extracted from WAMEX Report numbers A032767, A054553, A056809, A057878, A067376, A098949, A110375, and A120710.
Given the nature of the data presented in the historical reports, VRM considers that the surface geochemistry and drill sampling have been conducted using industry standard practices; however, details have largely not been documented in the historical reports used to compile this ITAR and for the most part, are not included in the JORC Code Table 1 here.
JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
M61 surface sampling 59 rock chip samples 4 samples taken from drill chip piles Rock chips taken were representative and geologically classified as either lateritic residuum, gossan or saprolite. Drill chips taken from residual sample piles at historic drill collars. Sample locations were recorded with a GPS Historic drilling Sampling from historic holes is documented in WAMEX reports referred to in Section |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g., core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit, or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
Historic drilling Information related to drilling techniques is located in WAMEX reports where recorded. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Historic drilling There is no information regarding drill sample recovery and drill sample recovery and grade. |

4.2 Grant
The Pending Tenements are not yet granted. There is a risk that:
5
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
(a) the Pending Tenements may not be granted or there may be a delay to grant of the Pending Tenements; and/or
-
(b) the Pending Tenements may be granted over a lesser area than applied for or the Pending Tenements may be granted subject to non-standard conditions.
In particular:
-
(c) Certain Pending Tenements are, or will be, subject to ballots, given that they were received by the DMIRS at the same time as other applications. The ballots will determine which tenement application is deemed to be first in time, and will therefore proceed to grant. There is a risk that should these Pending Tenements not be drawn first or ‘win’ the ballot, it is unlikely that these Pending Tenement will progress to grant and the applications will fall away. For further information, please refer to section 9.1(f) below and Part H of Schedule 3.
-
(d) Certain Pending Tenements have already been subject to a ballot and were not drawn first in time. Upon grant of the successful first in time tenement, the Pending Tenement applications will fall away. For further information, please refer to section 9.1(f) below and Part H of Schedule 3.
-
(e) In addition, some of the Pending Tenements overlap certain first in time mining leases, general purpose leases, exploration licences and prospecting licences (for further information on the overlaps, please refer to section 9.1(f) below and Part H of Schedule 3). Upon grant of the Pending Tenements, the area the subject of the first in time mining leases, exploration licences and prospecting licences will be excised from the Pending Tenements, therefore reducing the area of these Tenements (in some cases by over half of the original area of the Pending Tenement that was applied for).
-
(f) Several of the Pending Tenements are subject to Objections lodged under the WA Mining Act. In the event the Objections are not resolved and withdrawn, the grant of these Tenements will be delayed. Where parties cannot reach an agreement for the withdrawal of the Objections, then the matters may progress to a hearing before the Warden where the Warden will determine the Objections and make a recommendation to the Minister for the grant, or refusal of the Pending Tenements. For further information on the Objections, please refer to section 9.1(g) below and Part I of Schedule 3.
-
(g) Some of the Pending Tenements are subject to objections lodged by the affected native title holders. These objections will need to be resolved prior to the grant of the Pending Tenements. For further information, please refer to section 7.15 below and Part E of Schedule 3.
4.3 Renewal
Tenements E80/5027, E63/1832 and E15/1552 are subject to extension of term applications that have been lodged with the DMIRS to renew the term of the Tenements for a period of 5 years. These extension of term applications have not yet been approved.
If sufficient grounds cannot be provided for the renewals, these Tenements may expire at the end of the current term unless retention status is applied for (please refer to section 5.1(a)(v) below) or the Tenements are converted to a mining lease (please refer to section 5.1(a)(vii) below).
For further information on the term and renewals of these Tenements, please see Schedule 1 of this Report.

4.4 Overlapping tenure – WA Tenements
-
(a) Our Searches indicate that some of the WA Tenements overlap with land that is the subject of other rights, including:
-
(i) pastoral leases (see section 9.1(a) for further details);
-
(ii) crown reserves and water reserves (see section 9.1(b) for further details);
-
(iii) areas of Carbon Farming / Sequestration Projects (see section 9.1(c) for further details);
-
(iv) CALM Purchased Former Leases (see section 9.1(d) for further details);
-
(v) FNAs (see section 9.1(e) for further details);
-
(vi) other mining tenements held by third parties (including miscellaneous licences the subject of access agreements) (see section 9.1(l) for further details);
-
(vii) general leases (see section 9.1(h) for further details);
-
(viii) timber reserves and proposed areas of State forests (see section 9.1(j) for further details);
-
(ix) parcels of private/freehold land (see section 9.1(k) for further details);
-
(x) reserve leases (see section 9.1(l) for further details);
-
(xi) proposed areas of nature reserves (see section 9.1(m) for further details);
-
(xii) exempt east locations (see section 9.1(n) for further details);
-
(xiii) petroleum interests (see section 9.1(o) for further details);
-
(xiv) areas of National Heritage Listings (see section 9.1(p) for further details); and
-
(xv) ANCA Wetlands (see section 9.1(q) for further details).
-
(b) Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. In particular, some of the WA Tenements have been granted with specific conditions in respect to these overlaps. Under the WA Mining Act, the Company will be required to pay compensation to the affected land owners/occupiers for all loss and damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the owner and occupier resulting or arising from the mining activities of the Company.
4.5 Overlapping Tenure – EL5/2016
-
(a) Our Searches indicate that EL5/2016 overlaps with land the subject of other rights, including:
-
(i) Permanent Timber Production Zone Land (see section 9.2(i) for further information);
-
(ii) Future Potential Production Forest Land (see section 9.2(ii) for further information); and
7
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
(iii) Regional Reserve land (see section 9.2(iii) for further information).
-
(b) Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. EL5/2016 has been granted with specific conditions in respect to these overlaps.
4.6 Aboriginal Reserves
E63/2005 and E28/3138 are located within Aboriginal Reserves which require:
-
(a) the consent of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to explore on the Aboriginal Reserves; and
-
(b) an Entry Permit to be granted pursuant to the AAPA Act in order to access and carry out exploration activities on the Aboriginal Reserves. This will generally require consultation with the affected native title claimants in the area.
The legal regime around access onto the Aboriginal Reserves is discussed in detail in section 9.1(i).
The existence of the Aboriginal Reserves in the vicinity of the Tenements may also affect the Company's ability to secure the grant of, and access to, future tenure over the Tenements or in their surrounding area.
Any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
4.7 Native title
-
(a) The Tenements fall within registered native title determinations. The existence of native title determinations or claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act.
-
(b) The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
-
(c) The Pending Tenements are yet to fulfil the requirements of the Native Title Act and, if negotiations with the relevant native title party are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the Pending Tenements may be delayed, or they may be refused.
-
(d) For information on native title affecting the Tenements, please see section 7.11 for details.
4.8 Aboriginal Heritage
-
(a) The results of the AHIS Searches conducted in respect to the WA Tenements are summarised in Parts F and G of Schedule 3 of this Report. The WA Tenements are subject to several registered Aboriginal heritage sites and ‘other’ heritage places.
-
(b) Aboriginal heritage Searches have not been conducted in respect to EL5/2016.
-
(c) There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites or places may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may preclude or limit
8
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements or cause delays in the progression of the development of a mine.
4.9 Royalties
EL5/2016 is subject to a 1% gross value royalty payable to Peter Caristo, and WA Tenement P15/6112 is subject to an aggregate 1% net smelter royalty payable to third parties.
These royalties, along with the usual royalties payable to the State of Western Australia and State of Tasmania (if applicable), may have an impact on the economics of progressing any proposed mining operations on the Tenements. For further information on this royalty, please see section 11.
5. Tenements
5.1 Western Australia
The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the Tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the WA Mining Act which are relevant to the Tenements the subject of this Report.
-
(a) Exploration Licences
-
(i) Licence area and authority
The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploring for minerals with employees, contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient. An exploration licence will not be granted over land the subject of an existing mining tenement other than a miscellaneous licence.
- (ii) Term and extension
Exploration licences are granted for a term of 5 years. The Minister has discretion to extend the exploration licence for one further period of 5 years and then by further 2 year periods if satisfied that a prescribed ground for extension exists.
- (iii) Other conditions
Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and observance of Aboriginal heritage, environmental protection and reporting requirements. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
- (iv) Relinquishment requirement
Exploration licences of more than 10 blocks applied for after 10 February 2006 are subject to a requirement that the holder relinquishes 40% of the tenement area at the end of the sixth year that the licence is held. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the exploration licence liable to forfeiture.
- (v) Retention status
The holder of an exploration licence applied for after 10 February 2006 may apply for retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may
9
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is approved, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and ceases in future years, however, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
(vi) Transfer during first year
During the first year of grant of an exploration licence, a legal or equitable interest in or affecting the exploration licence cannot be transferred or otherwise dealt with, whether directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Minister. Exploration licences can otherwise be transferred or dealt with without the requirement to obtain the consent of the Minister.
(vii) Right to apply for mining lease
The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(viii) Rent and expenditure requirements
Annual rent is payable for an exploration licence and the holder of an exploration licence must comply with the prescribed minimum expenditure conditions unless the holder has been granted an exemption (in whole or part) from those conditions by the Minister. An exemption to the minimum expenditure conditions will only be granted on certain grounds set out in the WA Mining Act or at the discretion of the Minister. A failure to comply with expenditure requirements, unless an exemption is granted, renders the exploration licence liable to forfeiture or the Minister imposing a monetary penalty as an alternative.
(ix) Risk to Exploration Licences ( True Fella v Pantoro South )
On 18 August 2022, the Warden’s Court of Western Australia handed down a decision ( True Fella Pty Ltd v Pantoro South Pty Ltd [2022] WAMW 19) which has created uncertainty over the validity of exploration licences in Western Australia.
The case related to a priority dispute in respect of competing exploration licence applications. The Warden held that an exploration licence application will be invalid if the statement required to accompany an application for an exploration licence in accordance with section 58 of the WA Mining Act does not strictly comply with all of the requirements of section 58. The Warden held that this requires an applicant to include in such statement:
-
(A) a detailed work program and expenditure plan for the life of the exploration licence (ie each of the 5 years);
-
(B) a detailed work program proposal that identifies the intended areas of exploration and specifying the reasons for choosing those areas; and
-
(C) demonstration of a clear connection between the financial and technical resources available to an applicant and the proposed method of exploration and work program contained in the statement.
10
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
Common industry practice for most mining companies is to submit expenditure plans for the first one or two years of the licence. As such, it is possible that as a result of this decision, the vast majority of current exploration licence applications will be invalid on this basis alone.
Similarly to Forrest & Forrest Pty Ltd v Wilson [2017] HCA 30, the decision has also created uncertainty as to the validity of granted exploration licences that, at the time of application, did not comply with the initial section 58 requirements. It is expected that the Minister will need to step in and find a resolution following this decision, similar to what occurred after the Forrest & Forrest decision (albeit some five years later, a legislative fix to the issue regarding the validity of mining leases is still pending.)
It remains unclear whether the True Fella v Pantoro South decision impacts existing exploration licences. However, on 26 August 2022, the Minister for Mines released a statement advising that the McGowan Government is taking the decision very seriously, and will act to ensure certainty and security of tenure for proponents. This will include any steps necessary to ensure the validity of granted exploration licences.
The risk to validity is likely low, given that the Tenements are all granted exploration licences. However, it is uncertain of the timing that it will take for the Minister to ‘validate’ the granted exploration licences, and what steps are proposed by the Minister to validate the exploration licences. Until this time that the Minister resolves and implements steps to validate exploration licences, the risks to the validity of the Tenements remains uncertain.
(b) Prospecting Licences
(i) Rights
The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the purposes of prospecting for minerals with vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient for that purpose.
(ii) Term and transfer
A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and, if retention status is granted (see below), by further term or terms of 4 years. There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
(iii) Retention status
The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve retention status for the whole or any part of the land subject of a prospecting licence where there is an identified mineral resource within the prospecting licence but its impracticable to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. On the approval of the retention status the Minister may impose a condition requiring a holder to comply with a specific programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
(iv) Conditions
Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements.
11
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
(v)
Priority to apply for a mining lease
The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(vi) Rent and expenditure requirements
Annual rent is payable for a prospecting licence and the holder of a licence must comply with the prescribed minimum expenditure conditions unless the holder has been granted an exemption (in whole or part) from those conditions by the Minister. An exemption to the minimum expenditure conditions will only be granted on certain grounds set out in the WA Mining Act or at the discretion of the Minister. A failure to comply with expenditure requirements, unless an exemption is granted, renders the prospecting licence liable to forfeiture or the Minister imposing a monetary penalty as an alternative.
(c) Mining Leases
(i) Application
-
(A) Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.
-
(B) The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a supporting statement outlining mining intentions and a “mineralisation report” indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report” will only be approved where the Director considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.
(ii) Rights
The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.
(iii) Term and transfer
A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant. The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.
(iv) Conditions
Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and
12
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. For the purpose of this Report, we have only summarised key non-standard conditions and endorsements relating to the Tenements in Part A and Part B of Schedule 1.
(v) Royalty
A royalty is payable to the State of Western Australia in relation to minerals obtained from the land that is the subject of a mining lease granted under the WA Mining Act. In Western Australia, there are two systems used to collect mineral royalties:
-
(A) specific rate - calculated as a flat rate per tonne produced and generally applies under legislation to low value construction and industrial minerals. The rates on production between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2020 are 73 cents per tonne and 117 cents per tonne; and
-
(B) ad valorem - calculated as a percentage of the ‘royalty value’ of the mineral, which applies under the Mining Regulations 1981 (WA). The royalty value is broadly calculated as the quantity of the mineral in the form in which it is first sold, multiplied by the price in that form, minus any allowable deductions. The ad valorem royalty rate takes into account price fluctuations and material grades as follows:
-
(1) bulk material (subject to limited treatment) - 7.5% of the royalty value;
-
(2) concentrate material (subject to substantial enrichment through a concentration plant) - 5% of the royalty value; and
-
(3) metal - 2.5% of the royalty value.
(vi) Mining Rehabilitation Fund
The holders of all mining tenements, except those tenements covered by special agreements with the State of Western Australia not listed in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Regulations 2013 (WA), are required to participate in the Mining Rehabilitation Fund. This is a pooled fund to which Western Australian mining operators contribute and the money is used to rehabilitate abandoned mine sites in Western Australia. Tenement holders with an annual rehabilitation liability of $50,000 or less are not required to contribute.
(vii) Risk to Mining Leases ( Forrest & Forrest )
In 2017, the High Court of Australia handed down a decision, Forrest & Forrest Pty Ltd v Wilson [2017] HCA 30, that called into question the validity of a number of mining leases in Western Australia. In overturning the WA Court of Appeal decision, the High Court held that strict compliance with section 74 of the WA Mining Act was a pre-condition to the grant of a mining lease. Specifically, in this case, it was held that the failure to lodge a mining proposal or a mineralisation report at the same time as the Mining Lease application meant that the application was invalid. The fact that a mineralisation report was subsequently lodged, prior to the Warden's consideration of the application, made no difference to the validity of the original application. The Mining Amendment Bill 2022 was passed under its former name of the Mining Amendment Bill 2021 by the McGowan
13
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
Government on 20 September 2021. A period of public consultation followed (including consultation with industry, native title groups and the DMIRS).
The Bill proposes to amend the WA Mining Act, to improve regulation and regulatory practice in Western Australia, and, to validate those mining leases where the mineralisation report was not submitted concurrently with the mining lease application. It is expected the amendments will commence in mid-to-late 2023.
Until this time, there remains some uncertainty as to the validity of granted mining leases in Western Australia.
5.2 Tasmania
The following provides a description of the nature and key terms of the Tenements (including potential successor tenements) that may be granted under the Tasmanian MRDA which are relevant to EL5/2016.
(a) Exploration licences
- (i) Mineral categories, licence area and authority
ELs may be granted for one or more of the following mineral categories:
Category 1: metallic minerals and atomic substances; Category 2: coal, peat, lignite, oil shale and coal seam gas; Category 3: rock, stone, gravel, sand and clay used in construction, bricks and ceramics; Category 4: petroleum products except oil shale; Category 5: industrial minerals, precious stones, semi-precious stones; and Category 6: any geothermal substance.
ELs for most mineral categories cannot exceed 250km[2] , however category 6 (geothermal) licences may be up to 500km[2] , and category 4 (petroleum) licences may be up to 5000km[2] .
The holder of an EL (including a person authorised by the holder of the EL and a person acting under a contract of service, or a contract for services, with the holder of the EL) is authorised to:
-
(A) to explore, in accordance with the conditions of the EL, in the area of land specified in the EL for minerals, or minerals within the category of minerals, specified in the licence; and
-
(B) to enter on, and pass over, Crown land or private land, as the case may be for that purpose, in accordance with the conditions of the EL.
(ii) Term and extension
The initial term of an EL is a period of five years (except in the case of ELs for Category 4 minerals, which will have a term as determined by the Minister). The term of an EL may be extended at the discretion of the Minister if the holder is able to show grounds for extension. Extensions are generally considered on an annual basis.
- (iii) Approvals
14
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
EL holders must obtain written approval from MRT prior to undertaking any on-ground exploration. Work consistent with mineral exploration includes:
-
(A) Conducting geological, geophysical, geobotanical and geochemical surveys;
-
(B) Drilling;
-
(C) Taking samples for the purpose of chemical or other analysis;
-
(D) Using appropriate instruments, equipment and techniques;
-
(E) Extracting and removing from the land material, mineral or other substances for testing.
-
(iv) Conditions
ELs are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure (which must be at least $10,000 per annum), the payment of prescribed rent, annual reporting, compliance with the Mineral Exploration Code of Practice and undertaking certain work commitments.
Before an EL can be granted, the applicant must supply a copy of a certificate of currency for their public liability insurance. Insurance to be provided in the amount of $10 million or $20 million will be determined by the assessing geologist.
A failure to comply with any of the conditions imposed on an EL, or a failure to complete the agreed work program for a year, or failing to make the minimum expenditure for the EL in a year may result in the EL being revoked.
- (v) Right to apply for mining lease
Holders of ELs have an exclusive right to apply for a mining lease in respect of the category of minerals specified in the Exploration Licence.
-
(b) Mining Leases
-
(i) Mineral categories, licence area and authority
Similarly to ELs, MLs may be granted for one or more of the following mineral categories:
Category 1: metallic minerals and atomic substances;
Category 2: coal, peat, lignite, oil shale and coal seam gas;
Category 3: rock, stone, gravel, sand and clay used in construction, bricks and ceramics;
Category 5: industrial minerals, precious stones, semi-precious stones;
The area of a ML will be determined by the size and location of known mineral reserves and may include land for the establishment of treatment plants, freshwater dams, ore stockpiles, tailings dams and any other infrastructure associated with the mining operation.
The Minister may only grant an application for a ML if satisfied that the applicant:
- has demonstrated that there is sufficient quantity of minerals to justify mining;
15
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
intends to mine;
-
intends to comply with the MRDA;
-
has an appropriate mining plan;
-
is likely to have sufficient financial and technical resources to carry out the mining plan;
-
if the application is in respect of private land, has entered into a compensation agreement with the owner or
-
occupier of the land;
-
has provided evidence of current public liability insurance; and
-
has provided a security deposit.
The holder of a Mining Lease (including a person authorised by the holder of the Mining Lease and a person acting under a contract of service, or a contract for services, with the holder of the Mining Lease) is authorised to:
-
to carry out, in accordance with the conditions of the ML, mining operations in the area of land specified in the ML for minerals, or minerals within the category of minerals, specified in the ML;
-
to, in accordance with the conditions of the ML, enter on, and pass over, Crown land; and
-
to enter on, and pass over, private land, provided that a compensation agreement between the holder and private landowner has been entered in to prior to the grant of the ML (or in the absence of an agreement, a determination has been made by the Mining Tribunal).
(ii) Term and extension
MLs are granted for a term appropriate with the life of the mining project. The term of a ML may be renewed at the discretion of the Minister if the holder is able to show grounds for a renewal of term.
(iii) Approvals and conditions
The holder of a ML will be required to comply with certain conditions (including minimum expenditure commitments, payment of rent, the provision of security deposits, quarterly and annual reporting). The holder will also need to ensure it has an appropriate mining plan in place (which also provides for rehabilitation of the land) and will be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, the Quarry Code of Practice and effect and maintain public liability insurance throughout the term of the ML.
Prior to commencing any mining on the ML, the holder must obtain a land use permit under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (Tas).
Holders of MLs must take out public liability insurance and keep it current throughout the term of the ML.
If a holder fails to comply with a condition imposed on a ML, or a provision of the MRDA, including the maintenance of insurance and compliance with a mining plan, the ML may be revoked.
(iv) Conditions
ELs are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure (which must be at least $10,000 per annum), the payment of prescribed rent, annual reporting, compliance with the Mineral Exploration Code of Practice and undertaking certain work commitments.
16
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
Before an EL can be granted, the applicant must supply a copy of a certificate of currency for their public liability insurance. Insurance to be provided in the amount of $10 million or $20 million will be determined by the assessing geologist.
-
(v) A failure to comply with any of the conditions imposed on an EL, or a failure to complete the agreed work program for a year, or failing to make the minimum expenditure for the EL in a year may result in the EL being revoked.
-
(vi) Royalty
A royalty is payable to the State of Tasmania at a prescribed rate in respect of a mineral sold under a ML. Even where there is no production on a ML, the holder is still required to return a production and royalty return form every quarter.
(c) Retention licences
-
(i) The holder of an EL or ML may apply for a retention licence when the economic viability of mining procedures over the area has not yet been established. Economic viability takes into account the cost of mining and the amount of mineral to be mined on the area.
-
(ii) A retention licence allows for the holder to retain the right to mining minerals from the land.
-
(iii) The holder of a retention licence, or a person contracted by the holder is authorised to continue exploration, including carrying out exploration programs, metallurgical testing, mining feasibility and environmental studies which is necessary to evaluate the potential for mining on the area. The main duty of a holder of a retention licence is to carry out any exploration efficiently and effectively.
-
(iv) A retention licence will be granted for a period of up to five years, with the possibility of extending a further five years with the consent of the Minister.
-
(d) General
-
(i) A security deposit must be lodged before a mining tenement can be granted. For ELs, the amount of the deposit is determined by the size of the ELs and the program to be carried out. In respect to MLs, the security deposit is intended to cover the cost of rehabilitation or environmental liability arising from the proposed operation. The security deposit amount for MLs is determined by MRT according to proposed stages of development and rehabilitation outlined in the mining plan and reflects the cost to the government for carrying out rehabilitation in the event of default by the holder. Security deposits may be used to remedy damage to private property or to the environment caused by exploration or mining activities if this is not made good by the tenement holder. At the time of the renewal of a tenement, the security deposit amount will be reviewed and if necessary, may be increased.
-
(ii) The approval of the Minister is required to transfer any mining tenement in Tasmania. An application must be made in the approved form and be accompanied by a fee, a replacement security deposit, and environmental impact information where a change in program is anticipated.

6. Expenditure and Rent Compliance – WA Tenements
A failure to comply with the minimum expenditure and rent conditions imposed on the grant of a tenement may result in a penalty or forfeiture being enforced in respect to the tenement. Our Searches indicate that:
-
(a) unless otherwise noted as falling due, the rent has been paid in full in respect of all of the WA Tenements for the current reporting year; and
-
(b) unless otherwise noted as being due by a certain date, the Form 5 Operations Report has been lodged for the most recent reporting year for all of the Tenements which have either met, exceeded or had an exemption granted in respect to the minimum expenditure requirements for that year.
For further information, please refer to Schedule 1.
7. Native title
7.1
General
On 3 June 1992, the High Court of Australia held in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 that the common law of Australia recognises a form of native title. The Native Title Act came into effect on 1 January 1994, largely in response to the decision in Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1.
The law in Australia recognises that Aboriginal people may hold native title rights and interests in respect of their land. Native title exists where Aboriginal people have maintained a traditional connection to their land and waters, provided it has not been extinguished.
The grant of a mining tenement also creates rights in respect of land. Those mining tenement rights may affect (i.e. be inconsistent with) certain native title rights and interests. As a general statement, those mining tenement rights will be invalid as against any native title rights, unless made valid by certain procedures in the Native Title Act.
7.2 Native title claims
The Native Title Act sets out a process by which Aboriginal people may seek a determination by the Federal Court that they hold native title rights and interests. Whilst the Federal Court is assessing the claimed native title rights and interests, a Registrar of the NNTT will assess whether the native title claim meets certain registration requirements set out in the Native Title Act, and if so, the native title claim will be entered on the RNTC. If the Federal Court determines that the claimed native rights and interests exist, details of the determined native title claim (and the determined native title rights held) are then entered on the NNTR.
If a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR, the Native Title Act provides the claimants/holders with certain rights, including procedural rights where a ‘future act’ is proposed. An example of a ‘future act’ is the grant of a mining tenement.
The Native Title Act sets out when ‘acts’ will be ‘valid’ in the event they affect (i.e. are inconsistent with) native title, however, this process need only apply where native title exists (a determined native title claim entered on the NNTR) or is claimed to exist (a native title claim entered on the RNTC). The ‘acts’ can be a proposed activity or development on land and waters. A common example in Western Australia is the proposed grants of mining tenements by the Department.
18
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
7.3 ‘Past Acts’ (ie grants of mining tenements): Prior to 1 January 1994
The Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain ‘acts’ which were done before 1 January 1994. In Western Australia, that legislation is the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA) and in Tasmania, that legislation is the Native Title (Tasmania) Act 1994 (Tas). It provides that all ‘acts’ (e.g. grants of mining tenements) prior to 1 January 1994 are valid to the extent they affect native title.
7.4 ‘Future Acts’ (i.e. proposed grants of mining tenements): After 1 January 1994
Generally, a ‘future act’ is an ‘act’ (e.g. grant of mining tenement) occurring after 1 January 1994 which affects native title.
The Native Title Act sets out the circumstances in which, and procedures by which, ‘future acts’ will be valid should that ‘act’ affect native title.
Such circumstances include if the ‘act’ was done in certain circumstances between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 (called ‘Intermediate Period Acts’), or if the ‘act’ is permitted by an ILUA, or if certain procedures are to be followed where a claim for native title is entered on the RNTC, or a determined claim is entered on the NNTR. Such procedures include the ‘Right to Negotiate Procedure’ and the ‘Expedited Procedure’. The key elements of these processes are outlined below.
7.5 Intermediate Period Acts Between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996
Similarly to Past Acts, the Native Title Act permits, and all States and Territories of Australia have passed, legislation validating certain Intermediate Period Acts (e.g. grants of mining tenements) done between 1 January 1994 and to 23 December 1996 over land or water where a freehold estate or lease (including a pastoral lease but not a mining lease) had been validly granted.
7.6 Right to Negotiate Procedure
Under the Right to Negotiate Procedure, the native title party whose details are registered on the RNTC or NNTR, the applicant for the mining tenement and the relevant State or Territory (collectively, the Negotiation Parties ) are required to negotiate in good faith with a view to the native title party agreeing to the proposed future act.
The scope of the negotiations includes any matters relating to the effect of the grant of the future act on the claimed or determined native title rights and interest. Where the future act is the proposed grant of an exploration or prospecting licence, usually an agreement is reached which aims to protect Aboriginal heritage. This is because exploration licences confer only limited rights to the registered holder of the licence, conferring rights to conduct exploration and disturb the land for that purpose.
Where the future act is the proposed grant of a mining lease, the negotiations and resulting agreement are usually more complex, as the nature of rights granted for a mining lease contemplates substantial ground disturbance over a portion of the area granted. Such an agreement may address employment and training, environmental rehabilitation, Aboriginal heritage protection, cultural awareness and the payment of compensation.
If the Negotiation Parties negotiate in good faith but cannot reach agreement as to the doing of the future act, then provided at least 6 months have elapsed since the notice issued pursuant to section 29 of the Native Title Act, any party (in most cases the applicant for the mining tenement) may apply to the NNTT for a determination as to whether the future act may be done, and if so, on what conditions.
19
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
7.7 Expedited Procedure
If the proposed future act (i.e. grant of the tenement) is not likely to interfere with the activities or sites of significance of the registered native title party or involved major disturbances to land or waters, a simplified process may apply (known as the Expedited Procedure). A registered native title party may object to this process and, if it does, the NNTT must determine the validity of the objection (which may result in the Expedited Procedure not being able to be followed).
Previously, Department policy on the inclusion of the Expedited Procedure statement in application of the Expedited Procedure to prospecting licences, exploration licences, and retention leases.
However, as at 1 June 2022, the current Department policy is that it application/case management approach of the Expedited Procedure process. This is done as follows:
-
(a) promoting early engagement between tenement applicants and native title parties (including by providing a statement of expectations in respect to engagement with the native title parties, and engagement protocols);
-
(b) in terms of engagement, the Department expects that tenement applicants will actively engage with native title parties and provide details of early proposed works to native title parties (ie as required under section 58 of the WA Mining Act when lodging an application); and
-
(c) in the event that the State determines that a tenement applicant has not actively engaged with the native title parties, it may consider withdrawing the Expedited Procedure statement and move the tenement application to the Right to Negotiate Procedure, or, in extreme circumstances, seek consideration from the WA Minister as to whether it is in the public interest under section 111A of the WA Mining Act for the tenement application to be refused.
The Department will also conduct a risk assessment in respect to tenement applications (such risks include:
-
(d) prior adverse decisions as to whether the expedited procedure was found to not apply to the area of the tenement application;
-
(e) known sites of significance over the area of the tenement; and
-
(f) impact to communities and water bodies.
This assessment runs parallel to the WA Mining Act objections process and does not delay the grant of a tenement application.
The purpose of the new process implemented is to encourage early agreement making between tenement applicants and native title parties and reduce delays to the grant of exploratory titles.
7.8 South West Settlement Area
In respect to tenements which fall within the boundaries of the Settlement, other ILUAs entered into with a registered native title body corporate or prescribed body corporate or ILUAs which are 'area agreements' in respect to a certain area, native title may be extinguished and the future act process is no longer applicable.
The Settlement was negotiated between six registered native title claims comprising of traditional Noongar people and the Western Australian State Government, primarily. In
20
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
exchange for the extinguishment of native title over the Settlement area, a package of benefits (including economic, social and community benefits) was provided to the Noongar people. In respect to any mining tenements within the Settlement area, which are granted after the Settlement came into force, a condition is imposed on the tenement which requires the tenement holders to enter into an Aboriginal heritage agreement or a Noongar standard heritage agreement with the relevant native title agreement group before exercising any rights conferred by the grant of the tenement. The Settlement took full effect on 25 February 2021 and native title was resolved in the Settlement area on 13 April 2021.
The ILUAs forming part of the Settlement prescribe that native title will be resolved in the Settlement area and that the future act process (including the native title expedited procedure process in respect to the grant of tenements) will no longer occur within the Settlement area.
The Settlement ILUAs bind the parties including the State of Western Australia, which encompasses all State Government Departments and certain State Government agencies) in respect to processes dealing with Aboriginal heritage over the Settlement.
Pursuant to the Settlement ILUAs, respectively, the Settlement claim groups surrender all native title rights and interests in relation to the Settlement area comprising of their claims, to the State of Western Australia. This surrender is intended to extinguish the native title rights and interests of the claims over the Settlement area and gives consent to 'future acts' over the Settlement area.
Certain WA Tenements fall within the South West Settlement Area. For further information on the effect of the ILUAs forming part of the Settlement in respect to Aboriginal heritage in the Settlement area, please refer to section 7.9.
7.9 ILUA
An ILUA is an agreement which has been authorised by the native title claimant group and has been registered with the NNTT. An ILUA binds the parties to the ILUA and also all persons holding native title to the relevant area that may not be a party. If an ILUA provides that any particular mining tenement(s) may be granted, then the relevant mining tenement(s) may be granted as provided for by the ILUA, generally without following other procedures, including the Right to Negotiate Procedure or the Expedited Procedure.
An ILUA may:
-
(a) extinguish native title over the area by surrender;
-
(b) validate future acts which have already been done invalidly (ie the grant of mining tenements); or
-
(c) allow for a change in the amount of extinguishment of native title caused by the validation of an intermediate period act.
Certain WA Tenements fall within the area of body corporate ILUAs and area agreement ILUAs . However, neither Jindalee or the Company are parties to these ILUAs, and therefore, we have not reviewed the terms of these ILUAs in detail. For further details of these ILUAs, please refer to Part D of Schedule 3.
In respect to the Settlement, our searches indicate that:
-
(d) E70/6169 is partially (89.47%) subject to the Yued ILUA which was registered on 17 October 2018; and
-
(e) E70/6169 is partially (10.53%), and E77/2575, E77/2576, E77/2701 and E77/2800 are wholly subject to the Ballardong People ILUA which was registered on 17 October 2018.
21
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
The Yued ILUA and Ballardong People ILUA (in conjunction with the remaining ILUAs forming part of the Settlement), prescribe that native title will be resolved in the Settlement area and that the future act process (including the native title expedited procedure process in respect to the grant of tenements) will no longer occur within the Settlement area.
The Yued ILUA and Ballardong People ILUA bind the parties including the State of Western Australia, which encompasses all State Government Departments and certain State Government agencies) in respect to processes dealing with Aboriginal heritage over the Settlement.
Pursuant to the Yued ILUA and Ballardong People ILUA, respectively, the Yued claim and Ballardong People claim groups surrender all native title rights and interests in relation to the Settlement area comprising of the Yued claim and the Ballardong People claim, respectively, to the State of Western Australia. This surrender is intended to extinguish the native title rights and interests of the Yued claim and the Ballardong People claims over the Settlement area and gives consent to 'future acts' over the Settlement area.
For further information on the effect of the Yued ILUA and the Ballardong People ILUA in respect to Aboriginal heritage in the Settlement area, please refer to section 8.6.
7.10 Compensation
In certain circumstances holders of native title (a determined native title claim that is registered on the NNTR) may be entitled to apply under the Native Title Act to the Federal Court for compensation for any effect on their native title. The WA Mining Act provides that holders of mining tenements are liable for such compensation where awarded by reason of their mining tenements having affected native title. Consequently, if it has been, or is in the future, determined that native title exists over any of the land the subject of a mining tenement (or granted future act) and the holders of the native title apply to the Federal Court for compensation, the holder of the tenement may be liable and directed to pay any compensation determined.
7.11 Native title claims affecting the WA Tenements
The NNTT Searches in respect of the Tenements indicate that the Tenements lie within certain native title claims and registered determinations, the details of which are summarised in Part C of Schedule 3.
The existence of any native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights and interests of the holder under the Tenements provided they have been validly granted.
However, the grant of any future tenure over areas that are covered by a registered claim or a positive determination of native title will require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
7.12 Native title claims affecting the Tasmania Tenement
Native title is not a large part of the legal and policy landscape in Tasmania. In Tasmania, Aboriginal claims to land and waters are managed via the return of land or collaborative management processes.
7.13 Compliance with the Validity of Tenements
With respected to the granted Tenements, we have assumed that, prior to grant, the Department was satisfied that the Native Title Act had been complied with. Provided that the Tenements are validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act, they will be valid as against native title rights and interests.
22
==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
7.14 Validity of Tenements
The Tenements were all granted after 23 December 1996 and were therefore granted subject to the Native Title Act. Provided that the Tenements are validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act, they will be valid as against native title rights and interests.
7.15 Native title status of Pending Tenements
For an overview of the status of the Pending Tenements in respect to native title (including any objections lodged by affected native title parties), please refer to Part E of Schedule 3.
In respect to any objections lodged by the affected native title parties, these objections will need to be resolved and withdrawn before the Pending Tenements can proceed to grant.
8. Aboriginal heritage
8.1 General
Aboriginal heritage is protected by both Commonwealth legislation as well as legislation in each State and Territory of Australia.
8.2 Commonwealth Legislation
The Commonwealth Heritage Act is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
We have not undertaken any searches in respect of the Commonwealth Heritage Act for the purposes of this Report.
8.3 Western Australian legislation
The regime regulating dealings with Aboriginal cultural heritage in Western Australia is currently in a transitional period of reform.
In December 2021, a new ACH Act was passed to replace the existing WA AHA. Although the ACH Act is now law, the substantive provisions of the new ACH Act will not come into effect until after a transition period, while the underlying regulations and management code are prepared. It is likely the transition period will apply for 12 to 18 months. During the transition period, the WA AHA will continue to apply, but new section 18 consents will expire after a minimum of 5 years.
In late March 202 - ions and framework documents to support the ACH Act. The process will be split into three phases of public engagement (set out below) with the intention to bring stakeholders together to collaborate on and develop the regulations and framework documents in a culturally appropriate manner. The phases are summarised as follows:
- (a) Phase 1 (mid-April late May 2022): releases of initial documents for consideration and workshops in Perth and Regional Areas, followed by a period for submissions;
23
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
(b) Phase 2 (early-July to mid-August 2022): release of second round of documents for consideration (based on phase 1 feedback) and workshops in Perth and Regional Areas, followed by a period for submissions; and
-
(c) Phase 3 (mid-October to mid-December 2022): release of third round of documents for consideration (based on phase 1 and phase 2 feedback) and workshops in Perth and Regional Areas, followed by a period for submissions.
Under the ACH Act, existing section 18 consents granted under the WA AHA will continue to apply. In the absence of a section 18 consent, proponents of resource projects proposing to undertake activities that may harm Aboriginal cultural heritage will need to comply with the new tiered approvals process.
All activities that may harm Aboriginal cultural heritage, other than exempt activities, will trigger obligations to undertake due diligence and take all reasonable steps to avoid harm, the nature of which will be expanded on in the management code.
Activities involving a moderate level of ground disturbance are classed as tier 3 activities and will require an Aboriginal cultural heritage management plan, to be agreed with a representative of the local Traditional Owners and approved by the ACHC or authorised by the Minister where no agreement can be reached.
Low level ground disturbance may be classed as tier 2 and will require an Aboriginal cultural heritage permit granted by the ACHC (for a maximum period of 4 years) or an approved Aboriginal cultural heritage management plan.
The ACH Act includes continuous disclosure obligations, broad Ministerial powers to issue orders to stop activities, prohibit activities or enforce remediation and significantly increased penalties for offences.
8.4 Tasmanian Legislation
In Tasmania, the regime in respect to the protection of Aboriginal heritage is governed by the Tas AHA, administered by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment.
Under the Tas AHA, all persons are required to comply with the following general obligations:
-
(a) to report findings of relics;
-
(b) to not harm relics through acts including “destroy, damage, deface, conceal or otherwise interfere with” relics;
-
(c) to not harm relics (and/or what are defined as “protected objects”) in protected sites.
-
‘Relics’, are defined under the Tas AHA as:
-
(d) any artefact, painting, carving, engraving, arrangement of stones, midden, or other object, made or created by any of the original inhabitants of Australia or the descendants of any such inhabitants, which is of significance to the Aboriginal people of Tasmania; or
-
(e) any object, site, or place that bears signs of the activities of any such original inhabitants or their descendants, which is of significance to the Aboriginal people of Tasmania;
-
(f) the remains of the body of such an original inhabitant or of a descendant of such an inhabitant that are not interred in:
24
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
(i) any land that is or has been held, set aside, reserved, or used for the purposes of a burial ground or cemetery pursuant to any act, deed, or other instrument; or
-
(ii) a marked grave in any other land.
A person may only lawfully impact an Aboriginal relic if they have been granted a permit to do so by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and may only do so in accordance with the terms of any permit granted by the Minister.
The Tas AHA also establishes the Aboriginal Heritage Council, comprising members from the Tasmanian Aboriginal community who have extensive knowledge and experience in Aboriginal heritage management.
The Aboriginal Heritage Council provides advice and recommendations to the Director of National Parks and Wildlife, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and stakeholders on the protection and management of Aboriginal heritage in Tasmania.
8.5 Aboriginal sites and other heritage places on the WA Tenements
The results of the AHIS Searches in respect to registered Aboriginal heritage sites or 'other heritage places' within the WA Tenements are summarised in Parts F and G of Schedule 3.
The AHIS Search results do not mean that there are no other Aboriginal sites or Aboriginal heritage places within the area of the Tenements. It is only an indication that no other Aboriginal sites or Aboriginal heritage places have been registered in the area to date.
8.6 Aboriginal heritage agreements affecting the WA Tenements
As discussed above at section 7.7, Department policy provides that applications for exploration licences will generally not be processed for grant through the Expedited Procedure unless the applicant for the licence provides evidence that an appropriate Aboriginal heritage agreement has been entered into with any affected registered NTC (if any).
Jindalee is party to the Ngadju HPA in respect to WA Tenements E15/1624, E15/1626, E15/1680, E15/1691, E15/1697, E15/1700, E15/1705, E15/1720, E15/1721, E15/1722, E15/1736, E15/1747, E15/1752, E15/1753, E15/1802, EI15/1806, E15/1807, E15/1808, E15/1816, E15/1900, E63/1832, E63/1874, E63/1875, E63/2005, P15/6112, P15/6245, P15/6246, P15/6267, P15/6342, P15/6367, P15/6584 and P15/6586, which fall within the Ngadju and Ngadju Part B native title determinations.
The Ngadju HPA is on relatively standard terms for agreements of this nature and contains provisions for cooperation in respect to identifying, managing and preserving Aboriginal sites, sets out the process for the conduct of an ethnographic and/or archaeological survey and contracting opportunities in respect to activities on the Tenements the subject of the Ngadju HPA. Jindalee is required to provide notice to the NNTAC prior to undertaking activities on the Tenements the subject of the Ngadju HPA.
E77/2701, E77/2576, E77/2575, E77/2800 and E70/6169 all fall wholly within the Settlement. Therefore they are subject to the procedures in place for those tenements which fall within the Settlement in respect to Aboriginal heritage.
As a component of the Settlement, from 8 June 2015, it became a requirement for State Government land users (including tenement holders) to enter into a NSHA (or as agreed by the parties, an Alternative Agreement, which determines when an Aboriginal heritage survey is required. The requirement to enter into the NSHA or an Alternative Agreement is an obligation under the ILUAs forming part of the Settlement. Further, the DMIRS is required to apply a heritage condition to all tenements which are granted on or after 8 June 2015 and that fall within the Settlement. The condition requires that tenement holders must enter into an
25
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
NSHA or an Alternative Agreement with the relevant native title agreement group before any rights can be exercised on the tenement, in accordance with the applicable Settlement ILUA (in the case of the whole area of E77/2701, E77/2576, E77/2575 and E77/2800, the Ballardong People ILUA and in the case of part of E70/6169 (10.53%) the Ballardong People ILUA and for the remaining part of E70/6169 (89.47%) the Yued ILUA).
The registered tenement holder must then provide a statutory declaration to DMIRS as evidence of compliance with that condition.
The NSHA provides a uniform and efficient approach to Aboriginal heritage surveys in the Settlement area in compliance with the AHA when a planned use activity (such as mining or exploration) may adversely impact an Aboriginal site. The NSHA provides all parties with a clear, timetabled framework about their various Aboriginal heritage obligations. The NSHA also delivers a process for improving the quality of data on the Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System, which in turn enhances the protection of Aboriginal heritage through identification of sites that are important to Noongar people. An Alternative Agreement is generally on substantially similar terms to a NSHA. E70/6169, E77/2701, E77/2576, E77/2575 and E77/2800 were granted after 8 June 2015, and were granted subject to the condition that the tenement holder must enter in to a NSHA before conducting any activities over the Tenements.
In relation to E77/2576, E77/2575 and E77/2701, Jindalee and Forrestania have entered in to a NSHA with the SWALSC (for and on behalf of the Ballardong People Agreement Group on 27 June 2022.
In relation to E70/6169, Dynamic has executed two NSHAs with the with the SWALSC (one in relation to the Ballardong People Agreement Group and the other in relation to the Yued Agreement Group.
In relation to E77/2800, the Company intends to enter into a NSHA with the SWALSC (for and on behalf of the Ballardong People Agreement Group) prior to conducting activities on the Tenement.
The entry into Aboriginal heritage agreements is not a requirement of the AHA but is an industry standard means of managing the risk of contravention of the AHA where there is a NTC or other claim group with a recognised connection to the relevant land.
9. Land access
9.1 WA Tenements
- (a) Pastoral leases
The Tengraph Searches indicate that several of the Tenements either wholly or partially overlap pastoral leases, as summarised in Part H of Schedule 3.
The WA Mining Act:
-
(i) generally prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;
-
(ii) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
26
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
- (iii) provides that a holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (i.e. the pastoral lease holder) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the lessee as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities.
Compensation payable to a pastoral lease holder can be, and usually is, determined by agreement with the pastoral lease holder or by the Warden’s Court if no agreement can be reached. The Company has advised that there are no compensation agreements in place in respect to the Tenements.
In addition to the above, standard conditions are imposed on mining tenements which affect pastoral leases at grant which set out notification requirements to the affected pastoral lease holders.
(b) Crown Reserves and Water Reserves
Our Searches indicate that the land the subject of certain Tenements overlap several Water Reserves and Crown Reserves, as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
A crown reserve refers to land set aside or “reserved” for a designated purpose (i.e. for parks, recreation, drainage or church sites) and is managed by the State of Western Australia or designated management authority/agency.
There are three different categories of crown reserves, with class A having the highest form of protection, class B having a medium form of protection and class C, which forms the vast majority of reserves, having a lower level of protection.
The existence of a water reserve or crown reserve may require consents, additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to progress with exploration activities on these Tenements. In respect to the Pending Tenements, it is possible that these Tenements may become subject to future tenement conditions in respect to water, managed lands, reserves or conservation parks which may require additional approvals and / or consents to be obtained prior to commencing any ground disturbing activities on the Tenements.
For further information on the conditions imposed on the Tenements in respect to the water reserves and crown reserves, please refer to Part A of Schedule 3.
(c) Carbon Farming / Sequestration Projects
The Western Australian Government has recently approved certain areas of farming (or pastoral lease) land as part of the Western Australian Carbon Farming and Land Restoration Program ( CF-LRP ). The program seeks to increase vegetation and soil carbon farming projects and innovative sequestration activities in Western Australia that deliver environmental, social and economic co-benefits to the WA community and the greater farming industry.
Implementing a revegetation project for carbon sequestration purposes is similar to current revegetation practices aimed at improving biodiversity, establishing farm forestry and other commercial woody crops, or to improve on farm and other land management practises.
Our searches indicate that certain Tenements overlap areas that have been approved for CF-LRP, as set out in Part H of Schedule 3. These areas overlap with existing pastoral leases.
(d) CALM Purchased Former Leases
27
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
The Searches indicate that certain Pending Tenements overlap CALM Purchased Former Leases, as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
Since 1988, the Western Australian Government, with assistance from the Australian Government purchased over five million hectares of pastoral lease land (now 'former' pastoral lease land). These areas are owned by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, (formerly known as the Department of Environment and Conservation) and were acquired to protect ecosystems containing threatened species and ecological communities which may not be adequately represented in existing reserves ( CALM Purchased Former Lease ).
Through conservation focused management, the purchases of these CALM Purchased Former Leases improved Western Australia's ability to conserve the natural diversity in these areas.
As a result of the purchases for CALM Purchased Former Leases, properties were no longer intended to be run as commercial pastoral operations by private individuals or corporations and therefore no longer able to comply with the pastoral lease provisions of the LAA. As a result, the former pastoral leases were surrendered at purchase, and these areas were reverted to unallocated Crown land, on an interim basis (pursuant to the LAA).
In the future the areas of the CALM Purchased Former Leases will be considered for conversion to Crown reserves, or possibly other tenure, to allow for vesting in the Conservation and Parks Commission of WA.
The existence of these CALM Purchased Former Leases may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company in order to progress with exploration activities on the Tenements. In respect to the Pending Tenements, upon grant, conditions may be imposed on the Tenements requiring the prior written consent of the Minister before commencing any exploration activities on the CALM Purchased Former Lease.
(e) File Notation Areas
-
(i) FNAs are generally an indication of areas:
-
(A) where Government has proposed some change of land tenure that is being considered or endorsed by the Department for possible implementation; or
-
(B) areas of some sensitivity to activities by the mineral resource industry that warrants the application of specific tenement conditions.
-
-
(ii) The existence of an FNA will not, of itself, prevent the grant of a tenement or preclude exploration or mining activities, but it may delay or impact the Company’s activities.
-
(iii) FNAs may relate to land in respect of which Ministerial approval is sought under section 16(3) of the WA Mining Act. Section 16(3) requires prior Ministerial approval be obtained for any Crown land that is in a mineral field to be leased, transferred in fee simple, or otherwise disposed of under the provisions of the LAA.
-
(iv) The Searches indicates that several WA Tenements are overlapped by various FNAs as further detailed in Part H of Schedule 3.
-
(f) Overlapping mining tenements
28
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
Our searches indicate that the WA Tenements overlap with several mining tenements held by third parties, as set out in section H of Schedule 3. Due to the high number of WA Tenements with overlapping mining tenements, we have reduced the scope of overlapping tenure to those Tenements with significant encroachments only.
Many Pending Tenements overlap pending exploration licence applications applied for by non-related parties of the Company and Jindalee. The applications for the Pending Tenements and third party tenements were all received by the DMIRS at the same time and will therefore be subject to a ballot to determine the first in time applicant to the land (or part thereof). A ballot process is conducted under the WA Mining Act when multiple applications for an exploration licence are made at the same time, over the same area and where the Warden is satisfied that the applicants have complied with the initial requirements. There is a risk that certain Pending Tenements that are subject to a ballot, or that will become subject to a ballot may not be drawn first in time. Where Jindalee or the Company does not win the ballot, it is unlikely that the Pending Tenements will be granted and the application will fall away, unless the application by a competing party with higher priority (as determined by the ballot) is withdrawn.
In addition, certain Pending Tenements have already had ballots conducted in respect to the competing exploration licence applications and have not been drawn first. In this case, unless the tenement application drawn first in time is withdrawn, upon grant of the first in time tenement application, the Pending Tenement will fall away.
In addition to the above, certain Pending Tenements overlap either granted or first in time applications for mining leases, general purpose leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences. Upon grant of the Pending Tenements, the area the subject of the granted or first in time applications for mining leases, general purpose leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences will be excised from the Pending Tenements. Therefore, there is a risk that these Pending Tenements will be granted for a significantly lesser area than applied for.
Several of the WA Tenements overlap miscellaneous licences. A miscellaneous licence may be granted for one or more prescribed purposes that are directly connected with mining operations and may be granted over any existing tenements, whether held by the applicant or another person. Where this occurs, the miscellaneous licence and the mining tenement will coexist on the land. Generally, although not a requirement under the WA Mining Act, an access agreement will be entered in to in order to facilitate and coordinate the activities between the holder of the miscellaneous licence and the mining tenement holder. Please refer to section 10.3 of this Report for the access agreements in place in respect to miscellaneous licence overlaps.
Regardless of whether an access agreement is entered in to, in the event that a tenement is granted over an existing miscellaneous licence, standard conditions will be imposed on the tenement which preserve the rights of access to the miscellaneous licence to the holder of the miscellaneous licence and which provide that the tenement holder must not interfere with the purpose or installations on the miscellaneous licences. For further information on the conditions imposed on the WA Tenements relating to miscellaneous licences, please refer to Part A of Schedule 3.
For further information of the overlapping mining tenements in relation to the WA Tenements (including those Pending Tenements that will fall away following the ballots that have already been conducted), please refer to in Part H of Schedule 3.
(g) Objections
Several Pending Tenements are subject to WA Mining Act objections. The current status of the Objections is summarised in Part I of Schedule 3.
29
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
If the parties cannot reach an agreement for the withdrawal of the Objections, then the matters may progress to a hearing before the Warden where the Warden will determine the Objections and make a recommendation to the Minister for grant or refusal of the applications. In these circumstances, the grant of the Pending Tenements which are subject to an Objection will be delayed or may be refused. Following the withdrawal of the Objections, the Pending Tenements will be subject to a four-month native title advertising period.
(h) General Leases
Some of the WA Tenements overlap general leases as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
Under Part 6 of the LAA, general leases may be granted by the Minister for Lands over a parcel of Crown land for any purpose and subject to any conditions. Generally, any land of a general lease will need to be surrendered out of an affected pastoral lease and legal access be determined. It is not clear from our searches as to the nature of the general leases that affect the WA Tenements.
(i) Aboriginal Reserves
- (i) Overlap with Aboriginal Reserves
The Tengraph Searches indicate that E63/2005 (5.98% overlap) and E28/3138 (22.05% overlap) partially fall within Aboriginal Reserves as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
The AAPA Act governs the establishment, management and access to areas of land in Western Australia designated as Aboriginal Reserves. The AAPA Act established a statutory body, the ALT, to be responsible for the overall management of Aboriginal Reserves. The ALT administers the issue of permits for entry onto those designated Aboriginal Reserves subject to Part III of the AAPA Act.
(ii) Entry Permit
A mining access entry permit is required for any mining activity on any Aboriginal Reserve ( Entry Permit ). Mining activity includes surveying and/or marking out of tenements, fossicking, prospecting, exploring and mining. An Entry Permit also covers travelling through such Aboriginal Reserves to access mining tenements outside the reserve for the purpose of mining activities.
The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs issues Entry Permits after seeking the views of the ALT, which in turn must be satisfied there has been adequate consultation with any resident Aboriginal community and relevant native title interests (which in the case of E63/2005 is the Ngadju People and in the case of E28/3138 is the Nyalpa Pirniku People).
An application for an Entry Permit usually consists of the following actions:
-
(A) submitting a written request to the DPLH requesting advice on the grant of Entry Permits. The request must include tenement details (number, holder, grant status), details of the relevant Aboriginal Reserve and brief details about what works are proposed over the area;
-
(B) completing the requirements set out in the response provided by the DPLH which usually includes consultation with the parties nominated by the ALT (usually the resident communities and native title
30
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
interests, which in the case of E63/2005 is the Ngadju People and in the case of E28/3138 is the Nyalpa Pirniku People) and obtaining an agreement from the consulted parties; and
-
(C) the DPLH prepares a submission for consideration by the ALT and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs based on the results of the consultation process.
-
(iii) Consent to Mine
In addition, mining may not take place on a tenement located within an Aboriginal Reserve without the written consent of the Minister under the Mining Act who will consult with the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and obtain a recommendation from them as to whether mining should be allowed ( Consent to Mine ). "Mining" in this context is consistent with the broader definition applied to Entry Permits in that it includes prospecting and exploration and is therefore required before conducting activities pursuant to prospecting licences and exploration licences, not just mining leases.
The Company has advised that it intends to access the portion of E63/2005 (5.98%) that overlaps the Aboriginal Reserve (and that there are no immediate exploration targets on this area) in the future and prior to doing so, will obtain the necessary Entry Permits and Consent to Mine.
- (j) Timber Reserves and proposed areas of State forests
State forests and timber reserves are areas of Crown land set aside for certain uses including timber production, conservation and recreation and include Crown land set aside for these purposes. State forests and timber reserves are managed by the DBCA and are the only areas where timber harvesting can occur on DBCA managed land.
It is an offence to do any of the following in a State forest or timber reserve:
-
(i) Plant, cultivate or abandon any plant;
-
(ii) Remove any native flora, except firewood for campfires in the immediate vicinity of a camping area;
-
(iii) Place litter or other material on a reserve;
-
(iv) Remove, damage or disturb any naturally occurring feature (such as a fossil, marine shells, minerals etc);
-
(v) Abseil or sand-board down any slope; or
-
(vi) Erect any structure or building.
Our Searches indicate that Pending Tenements ELA25/572 and ELA25/597 overlap areas of timber reserves and proposed State forests. For further details of the overlap, please refer to in Part H of Schedule 3.
Generally, prior to the grant of tenements over an area that is a timber reserve or State forest, the holder of the tenement will need to prepare a conservation management plan and progress the plan with the DBCA. Once the plan has been approved and formal recommendations made by the DBCA, the DMIRS will receive a recommendation in respect to the grant of the tenements.
31
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
In respect to Pending Tenements ELA25/572 and ELA25/597, a conservation management plan will need to be prepared by the Company and approved by the DBCA prior to the grant of Pending Tenements ELA25/572 and ELA25/597.
It is possible that upon grant, these Tenements may become subject to future tenement conditions in respect to the timber reserves or State forest, which may require additional approvals and/or consents to be obtained prior to entering or commencing any ground disturbing activities on the area.
(k) Private Land
The Tengraph Searches indicate that some of the Tenements overlap parcels of private freehold land (many of the overlaps are minimal in nature), as shown in Part H of Schedule 3.
Pursuant to the provisions of the WA Mining Act, a mining tenement can only be granted or amended to give a right to the surface (or to within a depth of 30 metres of the natural surface) with the written consent of the owner and the occupier of private land which is:
-
(i) in bona fide and regular use as a yard, stockyard, garden, orchard, vineyard, plant nursery or plantation or is land under cultivation;
-
(ii) the site of a cemetery or burial ground;
-
(iii) the site of a dam, bore, well or spring;
-
(iv) land on which there is erected a ‘substantial improvement’;
-
(v) within 100 metres of any private land referred to above; or
-
(vi) a separate parcel of land having an area of 2,000 square metres or less.
If the holder of a mining tenement holds surface rights, the holder is not permitted to commence any mining on the natural surface or within a depth of 30 meters from the lowest part of the natural surface of any private land unless and until the tenement holder has:
-
(vii) paid or tendered to the owner and the occupier thereof the amount of compensation, if any, that is required to be paid under or ascertained in accordance with the WA Mining Act; or
-
(viii) made an agreement with the owner and occupier as to the amount, times and mode of the compensation, if any.
Under the WA Mining Act, the Company will be required to pay compensation to the affected land owners and any occupiers of private land for all loss and damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the owner and occupier resulting or arising from the mining activities of the Company. Compensation payable to the owner and occupier of private land can be, and usually is, determined by agreement with the owner and occupier of private land or by the Warden’s Court if no agreement can be reached.
- (l) Reserve Leases
ELA25/572 and ELA25/597 overlap areas of reserve leases. Under the LAA, the Minister for Lands may lease unmanaged reserves for any term. The depending on the nature of the lease, the lease must be in accordance with the reserve’s purpose,
32
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
or may be for a purpose different to, but compatible with or ancillary to, the reserve’s purpose.
An example of a reserve lease under the LAA, is the lease to local government of managed reserves, typically for terms up to 21 years and for purposes consistent with the reserve’s purpose.
On grant, ELA25/572 and ELA25/597 may become subject to future tenement conditions in respect to the reserve leases, which may require additional approvals and/or consents to be obtained prior to entering or commencing any ground disturbing activities on the area.
(m) Proposed Nature Reserves
In 2019, the Western Australian State Government announced a plan to create five million hectares of new national and marine parks and conservation reserves across Western Australia. The purpose of the parks and reserves is to create more opportunities for nature-based and cultural tourism, provide enhanced biodiversity conservation and build on Aboriginal joint management throughout Western Australia.
Certain WA Tenements overlap areas of proposed nature reserves, as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
It is possible that these Tenements may become subject to future tenement conditions in respect to the nature reserves, which may require additional approvals and/or consents to be obtained prior to entering or commencing any ground disturbing activities on the area.
The plan will deliver on a number of existing strategic priorities and commitments, and create new, visionary opportunities for parks and reserves. An additional one million hectares has been identified to ensure the five-million-hectare target is met.
(n) Exempt East Locations
ELA15/1818 falls partially (13.35%) within an area (Exempt East Location 48) that has been classified under the WA Mining Act as private land which is not available for mining. Therefore, exploration activities cannot take place on this portion or ELA15/1818.
(o) Petroleum interests
Some of the WA Tenements minimally encroach on petroleum interests. For the purposes of this Report, and given the minimal encroachment, we have not summarised the overlaps in Schedule 3 and have not conducted further searches in respect to the petroleum permits/petroleum pipelines.
There are no express mechanisms in the PGERA or the WA Mining Act in respect to the co-existence or priority of rights between mining tenement holders or applicants and petroleum permit holders or applicants. However, overlapping titles can be granted to petroleum and mining tenement holders. The WA Mining Act provides that, in respect to any dispute arising between the holder of a petroleum permit or mining tenement, either holder, or both holders may refer the matter to the Warden for inquiry and report. The Warden will then provide its report to the Minister, who may make such orders or give such directions as are in the public interest and he considers to be just and equitable.
The Minister may cancel the petroleum permit or the mining tenement if the relevant holder (as the case may be) fails or neglects to comply with such order or direction. The Company may consider seeking an access agreement (or similar) with the holders of the petroleum permits/petroleum pipelines in relation to the interaction of
33
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
rights in the encroachment area to effectively manage the access and interests of both parties, although, this is not a legislative requirement.
In respect to overlapping pipelines, the affected WA Tenements have been granted with conditions that limit or prevent mining activities to take place on or around the pipeline. For further information on the conditions imposed, please refer to Part A of Schedule 3.
(p) National Heritage Listings
E80/5027 and E15/1552 both fall within National Heritage Listings (being the West Kimberley and the Great Western Woodlands of Western Australia, respectively).
Places deemed to be of outstanding heritage significance to Australia are listed on the ‘National Heritage List’ register.
The list includes natural and historic places, including those of cultural significance to Indigenous Australians such as Aboriginal Australian sacred sites. Having been assessed against a set list of criteria, once a place is put on the National Heritage List, the provisions of the EPBC Act apply in respect to any proposed activities (including mining activities) on the area.
Under the EPBC Act, certain approvals and consents will be required before any activities can take place on these Tenements. Any delay in obtaining these consents and approvals may delay or impact the Company’s activities over these Tenements.
(q) ANCA Wetlands
Certain WA Tenements overlap an ANCA Wetland, as set out in Part H of Schedule 3.
These types of wetlands are deemed to be nationally and internationally significant (and many regionally significant) which are in existing or proposed conservation reserves managed by DBCA.
Wetlands are identified as nationally important if they:
-
(i) provide a good example of a wetland type occurring within a biogeographical region in Australia;
-
(ii) play an important ecological or hydrological role in the major functioning of a major wetland system/complex;
-
(iii) provide important habitat for animals at a vulnerable stage in their life cycles, or a refuge when adverse conditions (such as drought) prevail;
-
(iv) support at least one per cent of the national populations of any native plant or animal species;
-
(v) support nationally threatened plant or animal species, or ecological communities; and
-
(vi) are of outstanding historical or cultural significance.
Our Searches do not indicate that the Tenements are subject to any special conditions in respect to the wetlands.
34
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
9.2 EL5/2016
- (i) Permanent Timber Production Zone Land
EL5/2016 falls partially within PTPZ land. The land management and wood production in PTPZ land is managed by Sustainable Timber Tasmania in accordance with the Permanent Native Forest Policy, which sets out requirements such as obligations on Sustainable Timber Tasmania to:
-
(A) regenerate all harvested native forest in a timely manner;
-
(B) re-establish all harvested plantation coupes to plantation except where areas are deemed unsuitable for such use;
-
(C) revert areas unsuitable for plantation re-establishment back to their pre-existing vegetation type or native vegetation;
-
(D) not clear or convert native forest except in certain circumstances;
-
(E) seek to minimise conversion in situations where other parties have legislative power to clear or convert native forest on Sustainable Timber Tasmania managed land; and
-
(F) not trade in products arising from the conversion of native forest on land that it does not manage.
EL5/2016 has been granted subject to certain conditions in respect to this land. Please refer to Part B of Schedule 3 for additional information.
- (ii) Future Potential Production Forest Land
EL5/2016 partially lies within FPPF land, which is a land class described in the Forestry (Rebuilding the Forest Industry) Act 2014 (Tas). The FPPF was established to secure a ‘wood-bank’ to provide for future sustainable forestry production in Tasmania. No native forest harvesting can be undertaken on FPPF land. Special species timber harvesting can occur on FPPF land, however it can only be by partial harvest techniques and is subject to approvals.
EL5/2016 has been granted subject to certain conditions in respect to the forest land. Please refer to Part B of Schedule 3 for additional information.
(iii) Regional Reserve
EL5/2016 partially lies within regional reserve land. In Tasmania, a regional reserve is land set aside under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 (Tas) for the purposes of mineral exploration and the development of mineral deposits in the area of land, and the controlled use of other natural resources of that area of land, including special species timber harvesting, while protecting and maintaining the natural and cultural values of that area of land.
Our Searches do not indicate that EL5/2016 has been granted with any conditions in respect to the regional reserve land. However, under legislation, the Company may be required to provide certain notices and/or obtain certain consents prior to accessing and conducting activities on the regional reserve land.

36
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
With effect:
-
(i) in respect of a Granted Tenement, on and from completion; and
-
(ii) in respect of an Application, once a tenement is granted in respect of the Application, and
subject to the WA Mining Act, the conditions of grant imposed on the various tenements, and the terms of the various Transferring Agreements, the Company will be entitled to exclusive possession of the tenements the subject of the WA Sale Agreement and to do all such things in relation to the tenements as the registered holder of the tenements is entitled to do.
The WA Sale Agreement also sets out the process for dealing with each of the Consent Caveats lodged in respect to E15/1736, E15/1747 and E15/1752, such that these Tenements can be transferred to the Company, by either removing the Consent Caveats or by obtaining the consent of the Warden under the WA Mining Act for the transfers of the E15/1736, E15/1747 and E15/1752 to the Company to be registered while the Consent Caveats remain in force.
Completion of the Asset Transfer under the WA Sale Agreement and Implementation under the Implementation Deed will occur simultaneously.
The WA Sale Agreement otherwise contains additional provisions, including various warranties in favour of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
(b) M53/1078-I Agreement
Jindalee and the Company have entered into a tenement sale agreement dated dated on or around the date of this Report in respect of mining lease 53/1078-I ( M53/1078-I Agreement ), pursuant to which the Company will be transferred certain assets (described below) ( Asset Transfer ).

The following assets will be transferred to the Company under the M53/1078-I Agreement (subject to the process set out in the M53/1078-I Agreement including for obtaining the Minister’s consent):
-
(i) Jindalee’s 20% legal and beneficial interest in mining lease 53/1078-I ( M53/1078-I );
-
(ii) associated mining information; and
-
(iii) Jindalee’s rights and interests under the GWR Group Agreement. The GWR Group Agreement is further summarised at 10.4(g) below.
Completion of the Asset Transfer is conditional upon consent being given by the Minister to the transfer of M53/1078-I on such terms as are acceptable to the Company acting reasonably. The consent of the Minister to transfer Jindalee’s 20% interest in M53/1078-I was received by the DMIRS on 7 November 2022.
With effect on and from completion, subject to the WA Mining Act, the conditions of grant imposed on M53/1078-I, and the terms of the GWR Group Agreement, the Company will be entitled to exclusive possession of M53/1078-I and to do all such things in relation to M53/1078-I as the registered holder of that tenement is entitled to do.
37
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
Completion of the Asset Transfer under the M53/1078-I Agreement and Implementation under the Implementation Deed will occur simultaneously.
The M53/1078-I Agreement otherwise contains additional provisions, including various warranties in favour of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
(c) HiTec Agreement
Jindalee, the Company and HiTec Minerals Pty Ltd (ACN 611 841 573) ( HiTec ) have entered into a share sale agreement dated on or around the date of this Report ( HiTec Agreement ).
HiTec is the legal and beneficial owner of a 30% interest in EL5/2016, subject to the terms of the Prospect Ridge Agreement (which is further summarised at 10.4(j) below).
Pursuant to the HiTec Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued capital of HiTec from Jindalee ( Share Purchase ). The consideration payable to Jindalee under the HiTec Agreement is 4,813,510 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, having an issue price of $0.20 per share.
Completion of the Share Purchase under the HiTec Agreement and Implementation under the Implementation Deed will occur simultaneously.
The HiTec Agreement otherwise contains additional provisions, including various warranties in favour of the Company (including in respect of HiTec and E5/2016), which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
10.2 Access Agreements
The following access agreements are in place in respect to the Tenements. Jindalee’s rights, interest and obligations in these access agreements will be assigned to the Company when it acquires the Tenements:
-
(a) St Ives Access Agreement - E15/1722: On 9 June 2020, Jindalee entered into an access agreement with St Ives in respect to the overlap of St Ives’ existing miscellaneous licence L15/178 and Jindalee's E15/1722.The access agreement contains relatively standard terms for agreements of this nature, including removal and relocation of infrastructure provisions in the event any activities proposed by Jindalee on the overlap area is likely to interfere with or prevent St Ives’ use of its infrastructure on L15/178. Under this access agreement, St Ives retains a priority right in the event of unavoidable conflict between the respective activities of the parties.
-
(b) St Ives Access Agreement – E15/1752: On 5 May 2020, Jindalee entered into an access agreement with St Ives in respect to the overlap of St Ives’ existing miscellaneous licence L15/263 and Jindalee's E15/1752. This access agreement is largely on the same terms as the agreement referred to in section 10.3(a).
-
(c) Mincor Access Agreement – E15/1624 and E15/1700: On 29 May 2020, Jindalee entered into an access agreement with Mincor in respect to the overlap of Mincor’s application for miscellaneous licence L15/401 over Jindalee’s existing E15/1624 and E15/1700. The access agreement contains relatively standard terms for agreements of this nature, including the requirement for the parties to consult and co-operate in respect to their activities over the area of overlap of L15/401, E15/1624 and E15/1700 and includes provisions for the relocation of infrastructure and expert determination for new infrastructure locations in circumstances where a new location cannot be agreed by the parties.

We are advised that GWE has satisfied this minimum expenditure requirement under the GWE Agreement. On meeting the minimum expenditure requirement and provided that E53/2129 is in good standing, GWE may withdraw by providing written notice to Jindalee.
GWE then has the option (to sole fund exploration on E53/2129 for a further 2 year period by spending a minimum of $100,000 per year on E53/2129. If satisfied, GWE will earn a 50% interest in E53/2129 ( Initial Interest ).

Upon defining a compliant mineral resource in accordance with the JORC Code (and provided a withdrawal notice has not been provided to Jindalee), GWE has the option to sole fund a bankable feasibility study (as that term is defined in the JORC Code) on E53/2129.
In the event that Jindalee’s percentage interest in E53/2129 reverts to 5%, its interest will revert to a 2% net smelter return royalty.

-
(i) that there are no other documents or materials other than those which were disclosed to us and which we were instructed to review, which related to the matters examined.
-
(j) the Material Agreements have been duly executed and the copies of the Material Agreements made available to us are accurate, complete and conform to the originals of the Material Agreements and there have been no material breaches of the Material Agreements.
13.3 Qualifications
This Report is subject to the following qualifications:
-
(a) there may be native title, Aboriginal heritage or other third party agreements of which we are not aware;
-
(b) the information in Schedule 1, Schedule 1 and Schedule 3 is accurate as at the date of the relevant Searches. We do not comment on whether any changes have occurred in respect of the Tenements between the date of the Searches and the date of this Report;
-
(c) this Report is based only upon the information and materials which are described in this Report. There may be additional information and materials (of which we are unaware) which contradict or qualify that which we have described;
-
(d) a recording in the mining tenement register of a person’s holding in a mining tenement is not absolute proof of that person’s entitlement to the tenement. The mining tenement system is not based on a system of indefeasibility by registration;
-
(e) a registered mining tenement holder’s entitlement to a tenement can be defective if there were procedural defects in the original grant of a tenement or if there are any subsequent dealings with a tenement. We are unable to confirm whether there are any such defects in the Tenements disclosed in this Report without a detailed review of the register for each Tenement and other matters;
-
(f) this Report relates only to the laws of Western Australia, Tasmania and the Commonwealth of Australia in force at the date of this Report and we do not express or imply any opinion as to the laws at any other time or of any other jurisdiction;
-
(g) in the performance of our enquiries for this Report, we have acted on the Company’s written and oral instructions as to the manner and extent of enquiries to be conducted;

We have not undertaken independent surveys of the land the subject of the Tenements to verify the accuracy of the Tenement areas or the areas of the relevant native title claims;
-
(k) where compliance with the terms and conditions of the Tenements and all applicable provisions of the mining legislation and regulations in Western Australia, Tasmania and all other relevant legislation and regulations, or a possible claim in relation to the Tenements is not disclosed on the face of the searches referred to above, we express no opinion as to such compliance or claim;
53
==> picture [78 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
-
(l) where Ministerial consent is required, we express no opinion as to whether such consent will be granted, or the consequences of consent being refused, although we are not aware of any matters which would cause consent to be refused;

-
(n) native title may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements. Whilst we have conducted searches to ascertain what native title claims, if any, have been lodged in the Federal Court in relation to the areas covered by the Tenements, we have not conducted any research on the likely existence or non-existence of native title rights and interests in respect of those areas. Further the Native Title Act contains no sunset provisions and it is possible that additional native title claims could be made in the future; and
-
(o) Aboriginal heritage sites, sacred sites or objects (as defined in the WA AHA, the Tas AHA or under the Commonwealth Heritage Act) may exist in the areas covered by the Tenements regardless of whether or not that site has been entered on the relevant Register or is the subject of a declaration under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
