Shareholders should read this document in its entirety and, if in doubt, should consult their professional advisers. The Options the subject of this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

This Prospectus is dated 17 August 2021 ( Prospectus ) and a copy of this Prospectus was lodged with the ASIC on that date.

The ASIC and ASX take no responsibility for the content of this Prospectus.

The expiry date of the Prospectus is 13 months after the date the Prospectus was lodged with the ASIC. No Options will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus after the expiry date.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus which is not contained in the Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.

Applications for Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be submitted on an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this document comes should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions constitutes a violation of those laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with Section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Entitlement and Acceptance Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Entitlement and Acceptance Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘may’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and its Directors and management.

The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this prospectus, except where required by

2

law. These forward looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 4 of this Prospectus.

Risk Factors

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

The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively manage them is limited.

Your acceptance of the Offer must be made by completing the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form sets out the number of Options you are entitled to subscribe for. Your acceptance must not exceed your Entitlement as shown on that form. If it does, your acceptance will be deemed to be for the maximum Entitlement. Payment for acceptance of the Offer can be made via BPAY or EFT.

You may participate in the Offer as follows:

  • (a) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement:

  • (ii) pay the application monies (in full) by BPAY or EFT, so that it is received by no later than 5.00pm WST on the Closing Date; or

You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Options will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

1.5 Non-renounceable

The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

1.6 Underwriting

The Offer is not underwritten.

1.7 Effect on Control of the Company

In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings, upon the future exercise of the Options, are likely to be diluted by approximately 9.09% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus and assuming no other Options are issued).

1.8 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Option to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.002 being the price at which Options have been offered under the Offer.

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Options at their absolute discretion. Accordingly, Shareholders are directed to not apply for Shortfall Options unless instructed to do so by the Directors. The Directors will allocate the Shortfall Options taking into account the period that each Shareholder has held Shares in the Company in order to reward such Shareholders for their loyalty.

1.9 Issue of Options

Options issued pursuant to the Offer will be allotted in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Options issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be allotted on a progressive basis. Where the number of Options issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made surplus application monies will be refunded without an interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.

Pending the allotment and issue of the Options or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

5

Holding statements for Options issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Options issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

1.10 Overseas Shareholders

This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Options these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Options will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia and New Zealand.

1.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer

Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing option certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

1.12 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder or Optionholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder or Optionholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Share Registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

4. Risk Factors

4.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

4.2

Company specific

4.2.1 Fluctuations in Metal Prices

The price of manganese, base metals and other minerals fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company such as industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. The supply of metals consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks held by governments, producers, speculators and consumers.

Any exploration scenario for the Company’s existing projects will be dependent upon the price of manganese, base metals and other minerals being adequate to make these properties economic.

Depending on the metal prices, the Company could be forced to discontinue any current or planned development and may lose its interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of its tenements. There is no assurance that, even as commercial quantities of manganese and other base metals are produced, a profitable market will exist for them.

Declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may eventually interrupt operations until a satisfactory reassessment can be completed.

4.2.2 Environmental risks and regulations

The Company’s projects are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with all mining projects, these projects would be expected to have a variety of environmental impacts should development proceed. The Company has received environmental approval for its projects.

The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. Areas disturbed by the Company’s activities will be rehabilitated as required by the conditions attaching to the Tenements.

14

4.2.3 Litigation

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including contractual disputes. 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.

4.3 General Risks

The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

4.3.1 Operating Risks

The current and future operations of the Company, including appraisal and possible exploration activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • (a) adverse geological conditions;

  • (b) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, heavy localised rainfall and cyclone activity;

  • (c) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, and drilling activities;

  • (d) mechanical failure of drilling equipment;

  • (e) industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

  • (f) unavailability of necessary support services in a timely fashion to support activities on site;

  • (g) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • (h) inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.

4.3.2 Future funding requirements

The Company will require additional funding in the future in order to develop its projects, including the exploration and development of any other projects. In addition, the Company will need to undertake a capital raising to raise additional funds to meet the administration and working capital costs in the medium to long term.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders and any project financing if available may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.

Further, there can be no assurance that any such equity or project funding will be available for the Company on favourable terms or at all.

Accordingly, the Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

15

4.3.3 Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to activities planned with respect to the Company’s projects, which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

4.3.4 Exploration Risks

There is no assurance that manganese and other base metals will be discovered in the areas in which the Company has an interest. Even if further base metals are discovered in those areas, there is no assurance that commercial quantities of these minerals can be recovered from the Company’s permits.

Mineral exploration by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:

  • (a) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore resources;

  • (b) successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;

  • (c) access to adequate capital for project development;

  • (d) securing and maintaining title to tenements;

  • (e) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;

  • (f) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants;

  • (g) native title risks; and

  • (h) adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period which may adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues.

Whether or not income will result from development of tenements depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.

4.3.5 Contracts Risk

From time to time the Company will have in place contracting arrangements with third party contractors for exploration services conducted on its projects. The Directors are unable to predict the risk of:

  • (a) financial failure or default of the contractor or any other third party to a contract for which the Company is a party, or

  • (b) insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the operators and contractors used the Company in its mining activities, or

16

  • (c) insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company or operators for any activity, or

  • (d) mechanical, other operating or commercial failure by the contractor or of the contractors’ equipment or services, which are used by or provided to the Company.

The occurrence of such an event may result in alterations to the exploration plans of the Company which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations.

4.3.6 Tenure risks

Interests in exploration and mining tenements in Australia are governed by State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of leases or licences. Each lease or licence is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting conditions as well as other conditions that must be complied with. The Company’s project tenements are currently in good standing, however the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, its mining tenements if conditions of grant are not met or if expenditure commitments are not satisfied.

4.3.7 Native title and heritage risks

The Company’s tenements are subject to common law and native title rights of indigenous Australians. Legitimate native title rights are recognised and protected under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ). Further, certain areas containing sacred sites or sites of cultural significance to indigenous people are also protected under state legislation. The Company’s ability to utilise this land and to conduct its exploration activities will be subject to such terms and conditions as the Company may achieve though negotiations with traditional owners or by legal determination under the Native Title Act and/or heritage legislation

4.4 Economic Risks

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

4.4.1 Security Investments

Applicants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Shares listed on the stock market and, in particular, securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of the Company’s performance.

4.4.2 Legislative changes, Government policy and approvals

Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. For example, any increased rentals under the relevant legislation may impact on the Company's actual financial statements. The Company's capacity to explore and exploit any projects may be affected by changes in government policy, which are beyond the control of the Company.

4.4.3 Tax and Royalties Risk

Changes to income tax (including capital gains tax), GST, stamp duty or other revenue legislation, case law, rulings or determinations issued by the Commissioner of Taxation or other practices of tax authorities may change following the date of this Prospectus or adversely affect the Company’s profitability, net assets and cash flow. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change.

17

4.4.4 Reliance on Key Personnel and Employees

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. To manage its growth, the Company must attract and retain additional highly qualified management, technical, sales and marketing personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

4.4.5 COVID-19 risk

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.

5. Additional Information

5.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and Nature of Prospectus

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.

The new Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are options over continuously quoted securities. This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in Section 713 of the Corporations Act, and is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms, a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This enables listed disclosing entities, such as the Company, to issue a prospectus for options to acquire continuously quoted securities with modified disclosure requirements if they satisfy certain requirements.

The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the Offer and the information reasonably necessary to make an informed assessment of:

  • (a) the effect of the Offer on the Company; and

  • (b) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus and the underlying securities.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

19

As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company, states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in Section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents (as applicable), free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • i. the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

  • ii. any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

  • iii. any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.

The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC:
