LETTER FROM THE BULLSEYE CHAIRMAN

28 December 2021

Dear Shareholder

TAKEOVER OFFER BY EMERALD RESOURCES NL

On 7 December 2021, Emerald Resources NL ( Emerald ) announced a Bullseye Board recommended off-market takeover offer of Bullseye Mining Limited ( Bullseye ) to acquire all of the Bullseye Shares ( Offer ).

Under the terms of the Offer, Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer will receive 1 Emerald Share for every 3.43 Bullseye Shares held. Based on Emerald’s 30-day VWAP of $1.03 as at 26 November 2021[1] , the Offer values Bullseye at approximately $117 million or a value of $0.30 per Bullseye Share (on a non-diluted basis) (enterprise value circa $105 million).

Based on the trading price of Emerald Shares as at the close of trading on 24 December 2021 (being the last trading day prior to the date of this Target’s Statement), the Offer would value Bullseye at approximately $131 million or a value of approximately $0.31 per Bullseye Share.

Accordingly, the Offer represents the highest all-time price for a Bullseye Share. No Superior Proposal has emerged.

You should have recently received the Bidder’s Statement from Emerald which sets out the details of the Offer. This Target’s Statement sets out the formal response of the Directors to the Offer.

Board Recommendation

After careful consideration, the Directors unanimously recommend that you ACCEPT the Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal. In recommending the Offer, the Directors have had regard to the following:

  1. the Offer provides a substantial premium for your Bullseye Shares;

  2. the Offer provides increased certainty of value for Bullseye Shareholders;

  3. completion of the Offer will lead to the merger of complementary businesses with a diversified asset base;

  4. the Offer will allow Bullseye Shareholders to reduce their exposure to risks associated with potential development of Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project;

  5. the Offer will allow Bullseye Shareholders to possibly avoid the likelihood of equity dilution associated with a future development decision on Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project;

  6. the opportunity afforded by the Offer to become a shareholder in Emerald, which is both an ASX-listed company (providing liquidity for Bullseye Shareholders) and is generating significant positive cashflows from gold production at its 100% owned 2.0Mtpa Okvau Gold Mine in Cambodia;

1 Based on Emerald Shares traded on the ASX for 30 calendar days from 27 October to 26 November 2021

vi

  1. the opportunity to benefit from the strong upside potential of Emerald’s prospective gold exploration tenure;

  2. the Offer is unanimously supported by Bullseye’s Directors;

  3. Bullseye Shareholders may obtain CGT rollover relief in relation to the Offer, provided Emerald acquires at least 80% of the Bullseye Shares under the Offer;

  4. at the date of this Target’s Statement, no Superior Proposal has emerged; and

  5. there are risks of not accepting the Offer.

A detailed explanation of these reasons is contained in section 1 of this Target’s Statement. The Board’s recommendation is based on the Offer as it currently stands, but may be reconsidered should circumstances change.

If you wish to accept the Offer, you should follow the instructions in the Bidder’s Statement and on the Acceptance Form.

The Offer is scheduled to close at 5pm (AWST) on 14 January 2022 , unless extended by Emerald.

The Directors recommend that you read this Target’s Statement in its entirety and in conjunction with the Bidder’s Statement you have received from Emerald.

If you have any questions in relation to the Offer, I encourage you to seek independent advice from your investment, financial, tax or other professional adviser, or contact the Company Secretary via email at [email protected].

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of Bullseye.

Yours faithfully,

1. DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATIONS AND REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE OFFER

  • 1.1 Directors’ recommendation

Your Directors unanimously recommend that you ACCEPT the Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal.

You should read this entire Target’s Statement before deciding whether to accept the Offer.

In considering whether you should accept the Offer, your Directors also encourage you to:

  • read the Bidder’s Statement in its entirety;

  • have regard to your own individual risk profile, portfolio strategy, tax considerations and financial circumstances;

  • obtain independent advice from your financial, tax or other professional adviser in relation to the Offer; and

  • consider the future prospects of Emerald and Bullseye as a Combined Group compared to Bullseye as a separate entity.

Each of your Directors who holds a Relevant Interest in Bullseye Shares has accepted the Offer in respect of the Bullseye Shares that they, or their Associates own or control or otherwise have a Relevant Interest in.

1.2 Reasons why you should accept the Offer

(a) Merger of complementary businesses with a diversified asset base

Bullseye Shareholders are expected to benefit from becoming part of a larger, diversified gold exploration and development company, with key projects in Cambodia and Western Australia. Having completed construction of the Okvau Gold Mine late in the 2021 financial year, Emerald has successfully ramped up to full production and is now seeking to expand on the current near mine resources and reserves with a sustained exploration programme funded from operational cash flows.

Emerald has publicly stated that it will also continue to actively explore for gold mineralisation within its current portfolio of projects in Cambodia with the object of identifying additional commercial resources. Emerald will also continue to identify and evaluate potential acquisition opportunities with the aim to become a multi-asset gold producer.

Through this diversification strategy, the Combined Group will have the ability to optimise exploration and development activities across its projects due to potential synergies associated with future project development and infrastructure requirements.

(b) Opportunity to receive shares in an ASX listed company and increased cashflow generating capacity

2

The Offer allows Bullseye Shareholders to receive shares in an ASX-listed company, being Emerald Shares. The Emerald Shares received as a result of acceptance of the Offer will be traded more freely than unlisted Bullseye Shares. This means Bullseye Shareholders will have exposure to a company with a larger market capitalisation and considerably more share trading liquidity on ASX. In this respect, as at the Last Practicable Trading Day, Emerald had a market capitalisation of $572.7 million.

The Combined Group will also have a significantly larger balance sheet than Bullseye on a standalone basis, which will enhance the Combined Group’s ability to attract partners and funding for its current operations and future growth opportunities.

(c) Allows Bullseye Shareholders to reduce their exposure to risks associated with the development of the North Laverton Gold Project

Bullseye Shareholders are currently subject to uncertainty and risks arising from the development of Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project. The risks currently faced by Bullseye Shareholders with regards to the North Laverton Gold Project include labour shortages and inflationary pressures being experienced in the Western Australian labour market, as well as the associated challenges of establishing a team with the required skills and experience to develop the North Laverton Gold Project into an operating mine.

In contrast, Emerald has an established workforce with strong operation and development experience, putting Emerald in a relatively stronger position to develop the North Laverton Gold Project and maximise its value for the benefit of shareholders.

Accepting the Offer will allow Bullseye Shareholders to significantly reduce their exposure to the risks associated with potential development of the North Laverton Gold Project.

(d) The Offer will allow Bullseye Shareholders the possibility of avoiding future equity dilution

Due to the fact that Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project is currently in early stages of development, any decision by Bullseye to fund the development of the North Laverton Gold Project is likely to lead to future equity dilution of Bullseye Shareholders.

In contrast, Emerald is in a strong financial position, with strong cashflows from its producing gold operations, as well as additional borrowing capacity to provide alternative funding sources to develop the North Laverton Gold Project without dilution of shareholders.

Accepting the Offer will allow Bullseye Shareholders to avoid the likelihood of equity dilution associated with future development of the North Laverton Gold Project.

(e) Opportunity to benefit from strong upside potential of Emerald’s significant prospective gold exploration tenure

Emerald is focused on the exploration and development of its Cambodian Gold Projects, which are made up of a combination of granted mining licences (100% owned by Emerald), tenement applications and rights and interests in earn-in and joint venture agreements. Collectively, Emerald’s Cambodian Gold Projects cover a combined area of 1,239km[2] .

3

Emerald has stated publicly that it is continuing to look to expand on its prospective tenure in Cambodia by seeking to make further applications for tenure when identified and advancing discussions with third parties. Emerald is also continuing to assess additional prospective gold development opportunities both in Australia and internationally, with the aim to create a multi asset gold producing company. Further details of Emerald’s projects are set out in section 3.1 of the Bidder’s Statement.

(f) Opportunity to become a shareholder in Emerald

Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer and decide to retain the Emerald Shares issued to them as a result will become shareholders in a financially strong gold producer with existing operations in Cambodia, a proven management team and a track record of growth.

The addition of a high-quality development asset such as Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project is consistent with Emerald’s growth strategy and highly complementary to Emerald’s existing portfolio of operational assets.

(g) Emerald is focused on a net positive impact on near-mine environmental and social values

As an ASX listed entity, Emerald is required to adhere to strict corporate governance protocols. The ASX Listing Rules require all ASX listed entities to include in their annual report either a Corporate Governance Statement, or a URL of the page on its web site where a Corporate Governance Statement can be found. The Corporate Governance Statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period on an ‘if not, why not’ basis.

Further information about Emerald’s policies and protocols with respect to the environment, community relations, occupational health and safety and corporate governance can be accessed via Emerald’s website.

(h) Exposure to the experienced Emerald board and management team with an operational track record

Emerald’s board, management and technical teams bring a proven track record for advancing acreage and delivering on project milestones. In a year in which the COVID19 pandemic has brought with it restrictions in both Australia and Cambodia, the Emerald team overcame unprecedented challenges to remain wholly focused on meeting its target of commissioning and first gold production from its Okvau Gold Mine on time and under budget.

Delivering this outcome could not have been achieved without Emerald’s experienced executive and management team led by its Managing Director, Morgan Hart and its Executive Director, Michael Evans.

(i) The Offer provides attractive value for Bullseye Shares

The Offer Price of 1 Emerald Share for every 3.43 Bullseye Shares you hold, implies a value of $0.30 per Bullseye Share, based on the 30-day VWAP for Emerald Shares up

4

to and including the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date.[2]

(j) No Superior Proposal

As at the date of this Target’s Statement, Bullseye has not received any alternative proposal from any party intending to make a Superior Proposal and your Directors are not aware of any other offer or proposal which might be made as an alternative to the Offer. Should such a proposal arise, your Directors will reconsider their recommendation and inform you accordingly.

Before recommending the Offer, your Directors considered a range of other options (including funding and asset transaction opportunities and an initial public offering by Bullseye) to best fund the growth of Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project and to maximise value for Bullseye Shareholders. After careful consideration of these other alternatives, your Directors formed the view that the Offer provides Bullseye Shareholders with an attractive opportunity to realise value for their investment in Bullseye.

Emerald announced the Offer to the market on 7 December 2021. As at the date of this Target’s Statement, no Competing Proposal or Superior Proposal has emerged.

In the event that the Board determines that a Competing Proposal is a Superior Proposal, Emerald has a right to be notified of the terms of the Competing Proposal and a right to match any Superior Proposal.

Further information on the choices available to Bullseye Shareholders is set out in section 5 of this Target’s Statement.

(k) Potential eligibility for CGT rollover relief

You may have access to scrip for scrip rollover relief, in which case you will not incur CGT as a result of accepting the Offer. If the Offer is successful and results in Emerald becoming the holder of 90% or more of the voting shares in Bullseye as at the close of the Offer Period, then if you would otherwise make a capital gain from the disposal of your Bullseye Shares pursuant to the Offer you may be able to choose to obtain full scrip for scrip CGT rollover relief.

If scrip for scrip CGT rollover relief is available and is chosen by the Bullseye Shareholders who would otherwise have made a capital gain on the disposal of their Bullseye Shares under the Offer, all of the capital gain from the disposal may be disregarded. For CGT rollover relief to be available to you, Emerald must become the owner of 80% or more of the Bullseye Shares under the Offer and you must make a capital gain on the disposal of the Bullseye Shares. If a capital loss arises, no CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief is available.

However, you may be subject to CGT as a result of a later taxable event (such as a disposal) happening to the Emerald Shares received as consideration under the Offer. For further information regarding the potential CGT relief refer to section 7 of the Bidder’s Statement.

2 All premia analysis is calculated using the 30-day VWAP for Emerald Shares (up to and including 26 November 2021, being the last trading day before the Announcement Date) of $1.03.

5

(l) There are risks in not accepting the Offer

If the Offer is unsuccessful and no other offers emerge, this may leave Bullseye Shareholders exposed to the ongoing risks associated with an investment in Bullseye. In particular:

  • (i) Bullseye Shareholders will have full exposure to the development risks associated with Bullseye’s existing projects, and will not benefit from Emerald’s development expertise or financial strength; and

  • (ii) there is a strong probability that Bullseye will have to raise additional funds to fund the development of its North Laverton Gold Project, potentially through an issue of equity (which could dilute your investment in Bullseye).

If you retain your Bullseye Shares, you will continue to be exposed to the risks associated with being a Bullseye Shareholder. A non-exhaustive summary of the risks is set out in section 8.4 of this Target’s Statement.

Bullseye Shareholders should also note that there are risks associated with accepting the Offer. Details of the risks associated with accepting the Offer are contained in section 8 of the Bidder’s Statement and section 8.1 of this Target’s Statement.

However, such a person will not be an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder if Emerald is satisfied that it is not legally or practically constrained from making the Offer to a Bullseye Shareholder in the relevant jurisdiction and to issue Emerald Shares to such a Bullseye Shareholder on acceptance of the Offer, and that it is lawful for the shareholder to accept the Offer in such circumstances in the relevant jurisdiction.

3. DETAILS OF THE OFFER

3.1 Background to the Offer

On 7 December 2021, Emerald announced that it had entered into a Bid Implementation Agreement with Bullseye under which Emerald agreed to make an off-market takeover offer to acquire all of the Bullseye Shares, together with all rights attached to them and subject to the terms and conditions set out in section 10 of the Bidder’s Statement.

You should have recently received the Bidder’s Statement from Emerald, containing the full terms and conditions of the Offer, together with the other information material to your decision whether or not to accept the Offer.

3.2 Consideration under the Offer

The consideration being offered by Emerald under the Offer for your Bullseye Shares is 1 new Emerald Share for every 3.43 of your Bullseye Shares. If this calculation results in you having an entitlement to a fraction of an Emerald Share, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Emerald Shares.

3.3 Value of the Offer

The implied value of the Offer consideration will fluctuate during the Offer Period with the Emerald Share price. Accordingly, if the Emerald Share price falls, the implied value of the Offer consideration will fall. Likewise, if the Emerald Share price rises, the implied value of the Offer consideration will rise. The table below illustrates the implied value of the Offer consideration based on a number of Emerald Share price ranges (noting that, as stated in section 7.5 of this Target’s Statement, the highest closing price for Emerald Shares on ASX in the four months prior to 3 December 2021 (being the Last Practicable Trading Day prior to the date Emerald announced the Offer) was $1.125 and that such price also represents the highest ever closing price for Emerald Shares on ASX).

3.7 Intentions of Emerald

See section 6 of the Bidder’s Statement for a summary of Emerald’s intentions following the completion of the Offer.

3.8 Implications of Conditions not being satisfied

Any Conditions which are not satisfied (or triggered, as appropriate) may be waived by Emerald. If, at the close of the Offer Period, any Condition has not been satisfied (or triggered, as appropriate) and has not been waived, the Offer will lapse.

If the Offer lapses, all contracts resulting from acceptance of the Offer and all acceptances that have not resulted in binding contracts will be void. In that situation, you will be free to deal with your Bullseye Shares as you see fit.

3.9 Notice of Status of Conditions

Sections 9.3 and 10.11 of the Bidder’s Statement indicate that Emerald will give a Notice of Status of Conditions to ASIC and Bullseye on 31 December 2021, subject to extension in accordance with section 630(2) of the Corporations Act if the Offer Period is extended.

Emerald is required to set out in its Notice of Status of Conditions:

  • whether the Offer is free of any or all of the Conditions;

  • whether, so far as Emerald knows, any of the Conditions have been fulfilled; and

  • Emerald’s Voting Power in Bullseye.

If the Offer Period is extended by a period before the time by which the Notice of Status of Conditions is to be given, the date for giving the Notice of Status of Conditions will be taken to be extended by the same period. In the event of such an extension, Emerald is required, as soon as practicable after the extension, to give a notice to ASIC and Bullseye that states the new date for the giving of the Notice of Status of Conditions.

If a Condition is fulfilled (so that the relevant Offer becomes free of that Condition) during the Offer Period but before the date on which the Notice of Status of Conditions is required to be given, Emerald must, as soon as practicable, give ASIC and Bullseye a notice that states that the particular Condition has been fulfilled.

As at the date of this Target’s Statement, Emerald has not given notice to any of the Conditions having been fulfilled.

3.10

Ineligible Foreign Securityholders

Bullseye Shareholders who are Ineligible Foreign Securityholders will not be entitled to receive Emerald Shares as consideration for the Bullseye Shares pursuant to the Offer unless Emerald otherwise determines.

A Bullseye Shareholder is an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder for the purposes of the Offer if their address as shown in the register of members of Bullseye is in a jurisdiction other than Australia or its external territories, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, British Virgin Islands, China, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America. However, such a person will not be an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder if Emerald is satisfied that it is not legally or practically constrained from

16

making the Offer to a Bullseye Shareholder in the relevant jurisdiction and to issue Emerald Shares to such a Bullseye Shareholder on acceptance of the Offer, and that it is lawful for the shareholder to accept the Offer in such circumstances in the relevant jurisdiction.

The Emerald Shares which would otherwise have been issued to Ineligible Foreign Securityholders will instead be issued to the Sale Nominee, who will sell these Emerald Shares. The net proceeds of the sale of such Emerald Shares will then be remitted to the relevant Ineligible Foreign Securityholders. Please refer to section 10.7 of the Bidder’s Statement for further details.

3.11 Offer Period

Unless extended or withdrawn, the Offer will remain open for acceptance during the period commencing on the date of the Offer (being 13 December 2021) and ending at 5:00 pm (AWST) on the later of:

  • 14 January 2022; or

  • any date to which the Offer Period is extended.

The circumstances in which Emerald may extend or withdraw the Offer made to you are set out in sections 3.12 and 3.15 respectively of this Target’s Statement.

3.12 Extension of the Offer Period

Emerald may extend the Offer Period at any time before giving the Notice of Status of Conditions (referred to in section 3.9 of this Target’s Statement) while the Offer is subject to any unfulfilled Conditions which have not yet been waived. However, if the Offer is unconditional (that is, all the Conditions are fulfilled or waived), Emerald may extend the Offer Period at any time before the end of the Offer Period.

In addition, there will be an automatic extension of the Offer Period if, within the last 7 days of the Offer Period:

  • Emerald improves the consideration offered under the Offer; or

  • Emerald’s Voting Power in Bullseye increases to more than 50%.

If either of these two events occurs, the Offer Period will automatically be extended so that it ends 14 days after the relevant events in accordance with section 624(2) of the Corporations Act.

3.13 Withdrawal of the Offer

Emerald may withdraw the Offer made to you if you have already accepted it if the Offer remains subject to one or more of the Conditions. Emerald may withdraw the Offer with the written consent of ASIC and subject to the conditions (if any) specified in such consent. See section 10.13 of the Bidder’s Statement for more information.

3.14

Lapse of the Offer

The Offer made to you will lapse if the Conditions are not satisfied or waived by the end of the Offer Period. If the Offer lapses, all contracts resulting from acceptance of the Offer and all acceptances that have not resulted in binding contracts are void. In those circumstances, you will be free to deal with your Bullseye Shares as you see fit.

17

3.15 Effect of acceptance

The effect of acceptance of the Offer is set out in section 10.5 of the Bidder’s Statement. Bullseye Shareholders should read that section in full to understand the effect that acceptance will have on their ability to exercise the rights attaching to their Bullseye Shares and the representations and warranties they give by accepting the Offer made to them.

3.16 Your ability to withdraw your acceptance

If you accept the Offer made to you, you will be unable to revoke your acceptance or otherwise dispose of your Bullseye Shares to which the Offer relates, except as follows:

  • if the Conditions have not been fulfilled or waived by:

  • (a) in the case of the Condition of No Prescribed Occurrences (in section 10.8(c) of the Bidder’s Statement), at the end of the third Business Day after the end of the Offer Period; or

  • (b) in relation to all other Conditions, the end of the Offer Period,

then the Offer will automatically terminate and your Bullseye Shares the subject of your acceptance will be returned to you; or

  • if the Offer Period is varied in a way that postpones the obligations of Emerald to deliver the consideration for more than one month and, at the time, the Offer remains subject to the Conditions, you may be able to withdraw your acceptance in relation to your Bullseye Shares in accordance with section 650E of the Corporations Act. Should such rights arise, a notice will be sent to you at the relevant time explaining your rights in this regard.

  • Your withdrawal rights under section 650E of the Corporations Act are, in summary:

  • (a) you may withdraw your acceptance of the Offer if Emerald extends the Offer Period for more than one month and the obligations of Emerald to deliver the consideration are postponed for more than one month; and

  • (b) in those circumstances, you will have one month after the date that notice of the extension is given to Bullseye to withdraw your acceptance. Your statutory withdrawal rights will terminate on the expiry of that one month, although if the Offer Period is further extended you may receive further statutory withdrawal rights.

Should such circumstances arise, a notice will be sent to you at the relevant time explaining your rights in this regard.

Full details of your ability to withdraw from your acceptance of the Offer are set out in section 10.5 of the Bidder’s Statement.

3.17 When you will receive your consideration if you accept the Offer

Subject to the terms of the Offer and the Corporations Act, you will be issued your Emerald Shares on or before the later of:

18

  • one month after the date of your acceptance of the Offer, or if the Offer is subject to a defeating condition when you accept the Offer, within one month after the Offer becomes unconditional; and

  • 21 days after the end of the Offer Period.

Ineligible Foreign Securityholders will be provided with the net proceeds of sale to which they are entitled under the Offer at a different time.

Full details of when you will be issued your Emerald Shares are set out in section 10.6 of the Bidder’s Statement.

3.18 Effect of an improvement in consideration on Bullseye Shareholders who have already accepted the Offer

If Emerald improves the consideration offered under the Offer, all Bullseye Shareholders to whom the Offer is made, whether or not they have accepted the Offer before that improvement in consideration, will be entitled to the benefit of that improved consideration should they accept the Offer and the Offer becomes unconditional.

3.19 Compulsory acquisition

(a) Compulsory acquisition following takeover

Emerald has indicated in section 6.3 of the Bidder’s Statement that if it satisfies the required ownership threshold under section 661A of the Corporations Act it intends to compulsorily acquire any outstanding Bullseye Shares.

Emerald will be entitled, under section 661A of the Corporations Act, to compulsorily acquire any Bullseye Shares in respect of which it has not received an acceptance of the Offer if, during or at the end of the Offer Period, Emerald and its Associates have a Relevant Interest in at least 90% (by number) of the Bullseye Shares and Emerald and its Associates have acquired at least 75% (by number) of the Bullseye Shares that Emerald offered to acquire under the Offer (whether the acquisitions happened under the bid or otherwise).

If this threshold is met, Emerald will have one month after the end of the Offer Period within which to give compulsory acquisition notices to Bullseye Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer. Bullseye Shareholders have statutory rights to challenge the compulsory acquisition, but a successful challenge will require the relevant Bullseye Shareholder to establish to the satisfaction of a court that the terms of the Offer do not represent ‘fair value’ for their Bullseye Shares.

If compulsory acquisition occurs, Bullseye Shareholders who have their Bullseye Shares compulsorily acquired will be paid their consideration later than the Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer.

(b) Later compulsory acquisition by 90% holder

Even if Emerald does not satisfy the compulsory acquisition threshold referred to in section 3.19(a) of this Target’s Statement, it is possible that Emerald will, at some time after the end of the Offer Period, become the beneficial holder of 90% of the Bullseye Shares. Emerald would then have rights to compulsorily acquire Bullseye Shares not owned by it within six months of becoming the beneficial holder of 90% of the Bullseye Shares. Should Emerald exercise this right, the price offered under this procedure would be the subject of a report of an independent expert.

19

(c) General compulsory acquisition provisions

Emerald will be entitled, under section 664A of the Corporations Act, to compulsorily acquire any outstanding Bullseye Shares if Emerald’s Voting Power in Bullseye is at least 90%, Emerald (either in its own right or through related bodies corporate) has acquired full beneficial interests in at least 90% (by value) of the aggregate of all Bullseye Shares and Emerald:

  • lodges a compulsory acquisition notice with ASIC within six months of achieving that 90% holding;

  • proposes a cash sum for compulsory acquisition of the Bullseye Shares; and

  • obtains the report of an expert stating whether, in the expert’s opinion, the terms proposed in the notice give fair value of the securities covered.

3.20 Further developments

Should there be any developments during the Offer Period (for example, the emergence of a Superior Proposal from another bidder) which would alter the Directors’ recommendations in relation to the Offer, Bullseye Shareholders will be notified through a supplementary Target’s Statement.

3.21 Taxation consequences

In making a decision whether to accept the Offer, Bullseye Shareholders should also have regard to the fact that the disposal of Bullseye Shares may have taxation consequences. Bullseye Shareholders should carefully read and consider the potential taxation consequences of accepting the Offer as set out in section 7 of the Bidders’ Statement.

4. REASONS AGAINST ACCEPTING THE OFFER

Whilst your Directors unanimously recommend that you ACCEPT the Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal, some Bullseye Shareholders may not agree with that recommendation. You are under no obligation to follow the recommendation of the Directors. This section sets out potential reasons why Bullseye Shareholders may decline to accept the Offer.

4.1 You may disagree with the Directors’ recommendation

You may believe the Offer consideration is insufficient and you may hold a different view as to the value of Bullseye Shares to that of the Directors.

4.2 You may wish to remain a Bullseye Shareholder

If you accept the Offer, you will no longer be able to participate in the future of Bullseye or exercise your rights as a Bullseye Shareholder.

4.3 The tax consequences of acceptance of the Offer may not be favourable to you given your financial position

Acceptance of the Offer by Bullseye Shareholders may have tax implications. You should carefully read and consider the potential Australia taxation consequences of accepting the Offer as summarised in section 7 of the Bidder’s Statement.

20

CGT rollover relief will not be available on the Offer if Emerald acquires less than 80% of the Bullseye Shares under the Offer.

As the outline is general in nature, you should consult your taxation adviser for detailed taxation advice before making a decision as to whether or not to accept the Offer. Bullseye Shareholders should not rely on the taxation considerations set out in section 7 of the Bidder’s Statement as being advice on their own affairs. Bullseye Shareholders should consult with their own independent taxation advisers regarding the taxation implications of accepting the Offer given their individual circumstances.

4.4 You may believe there is potential for a Superior Proposal to be made

You may believe that a Superior Proposal for all of the Bullseye Shares could emerge in the future. It is possible that a Superior Proposal could materialise in the future. However, as at the date of this Target’s Statement, no Superior Proposal has been received.

5. YOUR CHOICES AS A BULLSEYE SHAREHOLDER

As a Bullseye Shareholder, you have three choices currently available to you in relation to the Offer:

5.1 Accept the Offer

Bullseye Shareholders may elect to accept the Offer in respect of their Bullseye Shares. Bullseye Shareholders will receive 1 Emerald Share for every 3.43 Bullseye Shares they hold for which a valid acceptance has been received. This is what the Directors unanimously recommend you do unless a Superior Proposal emerges.

Section 10.3 of the Bidder’s Statement contain details of how to accept the Offer made to you.

If you decide to accept the Offer made to you, your acceptance must be received before the close of the Offer Period, which is currently scheduled to occur at 5pm (AWST) on 14 January 2022 unless the Offer Period is extended in accordance with the Corporations Act.

5.2 Sell your Shares

You may decide to try to sell your Bullseye Shares otherwise than by way of the Offer. If you do:

  • you will receive payment based on the price at which you privately negotiate with a third party and will not be able to accept the Offer or any Superior Proposal that may emerge; and

  • depending on the sale price achieved, you may receive more or less for your Bullseye Shares than the value of the Offer consideration.

The taxation implications of privately selling your Bullseye Shares will depend on a number of factors and vary according to your particular circumstances. You should seek your own specific personal advice regarding the taxation consequences for you of privately selling your Bullseye Shares relative to accepting the Offer.

5.3

Do nothing

If you do not wish to accept the Offer made to you, you can choose to do nothing.

21

Bullseye Shareholders should note that if Emerald acquires 90% of Bullseye Shares during or at the end of the Offer Period, Emerald will be entitled to compulsorily acquire the Shares it does not already own. See section 3.19 of this Target’s Statement for more details.

Bullseye acquired its first tenements at the NLGP in 2014. Since that time, Bullseye has consolidated the entire surrounding 800km[2] Dingo Range Greenstone Belt. After its initial acquisition, Bullseye has undertaken over 80,000m of drilling at the NLGP following a new geological and mineralisation interpretation delivering five virgin gold deposits (namely Bungarra, Boundary, Stirling, Neptune and Hurleys.) In parallel, Bullseye was in 2017 granted a new mining lease and obtained approval for a mining proposal and mine closure plan for the commencement of open pit mining at its first three gold deposits (being Bungarra, Boundary and Stirling), which are located within close proximity to one another (Figures 5 and 6).

Since September 2021, 12,579oz of gold have been recovered from the Bungarra gold mine, at an average recovery of between 94-94.8%. The first two gold processing campaigns in relation to Bungarra have yielded gold sales amounting to A$30.75 million in revenue, with 165.4oz of gold bullion and 2,335oz of silver remaining on hand. Haulage of Bungarra ore to

Further details in relation to the joint venture with Blue Cap and the ongoing mining and processing operations are set out in the following sections.

30

The five NLGP gold deposits drilled to date are located within a 36km[2] granted Mining Lease which is located centrally on Bullseye’s 800km[2] Dingo Range Greenstone Belt tenure. These five deposits are surrounded by a further 15 gold targets within close proximity to the central 36km[2] mining lease (see Figure 20).

(b)

Regional geology

The Greenstone Belts within the North Eastern Goldfields (see Figure 16) are dominated by thick mafic to ultramafic volcanic sequences, including tholeiitic, high-Mg basalts, and komatiiitic extrusive rocks and their intrusive equivalents. Significant portions of felsic and intermediate volcanic and subvolcanic sequences are present in the Yandal, Agnew-Wiluna and Duketon Belts. Pelitic and psammitic sedimentary sequences interbedded with chert, banded iron formation and shale are represented in the southern Agnew-Wiluna, Duketon and Dingo Range Belts. Dominantly monzogranitic granitoids are present both within and between the greenstone belts. These are often complexly associated with gneissic rocks and migmatite.

Throughout the North Eastern Goldfields, the Archaean rocks are cut by swarms of Proterozoic mafic, dolerite, microgabbro and gabbro dykes. These have variable trends, but the predominant groups are easterly to eastsoutherly, northeasterly and south-southeasterly trending.

==> picture [436 x 314] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 16 | The Greenstone Belts within the North Eastern Goldfields

(c) NLGP local geology

The NLGP lies in the central part of the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt which is a 5-12km wide, northwest trending sequence of ultramafic to felsic lithologies folded about a broad anticlinal axis. Transitions and hiatuses in volcanic activity are marked by chemical sedimentary episodes which include banded iron formations (BIF). The Dingo Range Greenstone Belt is

31

bounded to the east by the North Banja Batholith and to the west by the Mt. Blackburn Batholith. The granite-greenstone contacts are typically flat-bounded and the southwest margin of the belt is defined by a foliated granodiorite.

The centre of the project area is dominated by a north-westerly trending antiform. The limbs of the antiform are represented by Eastern and Western BIFs with interbedded chert, shale and weathered felsic volcanic rocks which form distinct ridges over a strike length of 9km on each limb. In the centre-north of the project area a thick, deeply weathered felsic, sulphidic granodiorite intrudes a mostly basaltic country rock. Lithologies become more mafic moving southeast, where such rock types as peridotite, basalt and gabbro have been encountered by Bullseye in drilling.

To the west of the western BIF, rock types consist of highly strained basalt, high-Mg basalts, porphyry and minor pelitic sediments. This area is part of the western sheared contact with granite. To the east of the eastern BIF lie amphibolites with sheared and unsheared granitoids.

The northern and southern parts of the project area are dominated by thick tholeiitic basalt flows and dolerites. Interspersed between the basalt and dolerite are chloritic schists, talc, schists, interflow volcanic sediments, felsic tuffs and minor komatiitic volcanics.

(d) NLGP gold deposits

The NLGP (and Bullseye’s overall tenure in relation to the Dingo Range greenstone belt) remains significantly underexplored, with initial drilling having focused primarily on three deposits – Boundary, Bungarra and Stirling – which are collectively located within a five kilometre radius and in respect of which an overall maiden Mineral Resource estimate, reported in accordance with the Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code 2012 ( JORC 2012 ), of approximately 3.4 million tonnes of ore @ 2.51g/t Au for 276,000 ounces of gold (across Indicated and Inferred categories) was originally announced by Bullseye in its Target’s Statement dated 27 AQpril 2018, in response to the takeover offer made by Red 5 Limited on 30 April 2018.Other than in relation to the depletion of Bungarra mineralisation due to the recent Bungarra mining and processing operations noted in section 6.2(e) below, Bullseye confirms that there has been no material change to this Resource estimate since the date of that original announcement.

Since the estimation of its maiden gold Resource, Bullseye has undertaken a further 34,946m of drilling at the NLGP, which has successfully resulted in a further two areas of gold mineralisation being delineated – the Hurleys gold deposit and the Neptune gold deposit. Neptune, a virgin gold discovery made by the Bullseye exploration team, was identified through the Bullseye NLGP exploration geochemical soil sampling campaign and detailed geological structural mapping conducted by the team. Both Neptune and Hurleys represent additional gold mineralisation that, upon the completion of further drilling, resource modelling and the development of a revised JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimate, is expected to add significant additional ounces to the maiden gold Resource previously announced by Bullseye (see Figures 17 – 19).

The Bullseye exploration team has also identified five additional gold targets: Freemans/Eclipse, St. Francis, Boundary North, Aviary/Red Cloud and Banjawarn, in respect of which Bullseye has conducted geochemical soil sampling in preparation for drilling (see Figures 20 and 21).

These ten overall areas of gold mineralisation at the NLGP (five drilled, five yet to be drilled) are located in very close proximity (within 15km) of one another.

This overall Resource was originally announced by Bullseye in its Target’s Statement dated 27 April 2018, in response to the takeover offer made by Red 5 Limited on 30 April 2018. Other than in relation to the depletion of Bungarra mineralisation due to the recent Bungarra mining and processing operations noted in section 6.2(e) above, Bullseye confirms that there has been no material change to this Resource estimate since the date of that original announcement.

(f) NLGP soil geochemistry programs

As part of Bullseye’s NLGP development plan, including ongoing exploration to discover additional gold deposits that can build into the life of mine (LOM) plan, Bullseye has been conducting an extensive regional soil geochemistry sampling programs in order to better understand the structural setting of the NLGP and to aid with future targeting. These programs resulted in the discovery of the Neptune gold deposit by Bullseye in 2017 and are still ongoing.

The Bullseye exploration team has also identified additional gold targets (being Freemans/ Eclipse, St. Francis, Boundary North, Aviary and Banjawarn) in respect of which Bullseye has conducted geochemical soil sampling in preparation for drilling (see Figures 20 and 21).

These 10 overall areas of gold mineralisation at the NLGP (five drilled, five yet to be drilled) are located in very close proximity (within 15km) of one another.

The purpose of the geochemical soil sampling programs at North Laverton are to test previously discovered gold in soil anomalies and to sample and identify new gold and polymetal in soil anomalies prior to drilling. Bullseye has used results from the initial stages of the programs for drill targeting at NLGP and has experienced success with the virgin Neptune discovery.

Bullseye‘s regional geochemical soil sampling programs are ongoing to include additional targets on the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt.

(g) Further exploration and development work

Bullseye’s ongoing exploration, mining and development plan at the NLGP involves a multistage approach, including innovative research and development, with the aim of leading ultimately to onsite gold processing at the NLGP based on a Life of Mine plan driven by existing and potential new gold deposits located along the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt.

In accordance with Bullseye’s exploration, mining and development strategy, Bullseye in tends in 2022 to commence drilling at all five deposits within the existing 36km[2] granted mining lease at the NLGP. Drilling is also proposed to commence at five new gold targets at the NLGP: Freemans/Eclipse, St. Francis, Boundary North, Aviary and Banjawarn (see Figure 20). Bullseye has completed geochemical soil sampling at all five of these new areas and has experienced success in using geochemistry to enhance drill targeting at the NLGP.

Bullseye’s exploration, mining and development strategy is to drill each prospect with the aim of creating a series of satellite deposits that, when mined together, can share the upfront capital expenditure requirements of on-site processing and can reduce the operating (mining, hauling and processing) costs.

Figure 21 | Five existing gold deposits and additional gold mineralisation targets located in close proximity on the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt

Bullseye has developed a systematic exploration, mining and development strategy for the NLGP, which is proposed to occur in stages over the coming five year period. This exploration strategy is aggressive and exploration targeting is highly advanced and well-refined as a result of the robust historic data compilations and validation undertaken by Bullseye, the onground geochemical soil sampling programs at the NLGP, the increased understanding of geological controls on gold mineralisation resulting from the extensive drilling (more than 80,000m) undertaken by Bullseye, the delineation of the first five gold deposits at the NLGP and the successful open pit mining and processing of gold from the Bungarra gold deposit.

Bullseye’s exploration, mining and development strategy has been planned and implemented in key Stages, as described below:

Stage 1 saw the successful drilling of the Bungarra deposit in 2014.

Stage 2 saw the successful drilling of the Bungarra, Boundary and Stirling deposits in 2015 to develop the current Life of Mine plan for the NLGP.

Stage 3 was undertaken in 2016 and 2017 with geochemical soil sampling and drilling at Boundary, Neptune and Hurleys. With further drilling and Resource modelling the total Resource at the NLGP is expected to increase.

Stage 4 saw the incorporation of Blue Cap Bullseye Joint Venture Pty Ltd ( BCBJV ), for the purpose of bringing the Bungarra gold project into production with a toll treatment agreement with the Wiluna Gold Processing Centre. Mining commenced at the new Bungarra open pit in early 2021 with the maiden gold pour successfully taking place in September 2021.

To date, the Bungarra mine has produced 12,579oz with a further approximately 8,640oz expected in early 2022.

39

Stage 5 of the exploration, mining and development strategy at the NLGP has commenced, with drilling taking place at the Neptune gold deposit as part of the mine planning works for the BCBJV to commence open pit mining operations at the Neptune deposit in early 2022.

Stage 6 , planned for 2022, will see the development of key research and development hypothesis in relation to gold operations at the NLGP being tested and further developed. Extensive drilling is planned for the five deposits within the 36km[2] mining lease and for new target areas additionally identified within that central location.

Stage 7 , planned for 2022 and 2023, will see drilling at the new NLGP targets at Boundary North, Freemans/Eclipse, St. Francis, Aviary, Banjawarn and Wonggano. This drilling aims to extend the life of mine at the NLGP to support the low-cost operating solution associated with an on-site plant. Pending successful extension of the NLGP life of mine from Stages 6 and 7, Bullseye will proceed with licensing and construction of the on-site plant at the NLGP.

Stage 8 of the exploration, mining and development strategy at the NLGP is to commence in 2024 and ongoing, with further extensional drilling. Bullseye expect to have generated additional exploration targets from the on-ground geochemical soil sampling and regional geological mapping that will be conducted every field season at the NLGP.

(h) Blue Cap Bullseye Joint Venture

Blue Cap Joint Venture

In October 2020, a special purpose joint venture entity, BCBJV, was incorporated in Western Australia as a proprietary company with shareholders being Bullseye (as to 70%) and Blue Cap Ventures Pty Ltd (as to 30%). BCBJV was established for the purpose of bringing the Bungarra Project into production, using a “turn-key” mining solution provided by associated Blue Cap entity Blue Cap Mining Pty Ltd comprising mining fleet, mining services, infrastructure works, drill and blast, ore transport and all other ancillary mining services. Contemporaneously with the execution of the relevant joint venture documentation, BCBJV entered into a toll treatment agreement with the Wiluna Gold Processing Centre (located approximately 180 km from the Bungarra minesite) to process the Bungarra gold ore on a campaign basis.

The Bungarra Gold mine is the first open pit to be mined by Bullseye at Bullseye’s flagship NLGP, signifying the establishment of the NLGP as a new gold mining centre in the North Eastern Goldfields, and the first large scale open pit mine on the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt.

Mining operations commenced at Bungarra in January 2021 and on 8 September 2021 Bullseye announced the milestone of pouring its maiden gold bar from the Bungarra Gold Mine. The maiden doré gold bar weighed in at 20.941 kilograms or 673 ounces (unrefined) (see Figure 8). The current mining and processing program at Bungarra consists of several stages of mining and processing campaigns, to produce approximately 20,000oz of gold for the joint venture as at the completion of the program (which is expected to occur in mid2022). As at the date of this Target’s Statement, approximately 12,579 ounces of gold have been produced from Bungarra, generating more than $30.7million in gross revenue for the joint venture.

The BCBJV securityholders agreement contemplates that the shareholders of BCBJV may, by unanimous resolution, agree to extend the coverage of the joint venture to include the development of projects other than the Bungarra Project. BCBJV and its shareholders have recently agreed by unanimous resolution to extend the scope of the joint venture (and the key agreements relating to BCBJV/the joint venture) to also include the development of

40

Bullseye’s Neptune gold deposit, based on an open pit mining scenario anticipated to involve the extraction and processing on a toll treatment basis of approximately 17,000 ounces of gold. The parties are currently in the process of finalising and executing relevant documentation to formalise the inclusion of the development of the Neptune gold deposit within the overall scope of operational activities of the BCBJV joint venture.

Dingo Range Joint Venture

Dingo Range Pty Ltd was incorporated on 9 March 2021 by the company and its joint venture partner Blue Cap, on the same terms and conditions as the Blue Cap joint venture, with shareholding being 70% Bullseye and 30% Blue Cap. Dingo Range was incorporated to provide research and development services for BCBJV. The board of Dingo Range Pty Ltd has two directors, each representing one of the joint venturers, with each director having equal voting rights.

(i) Southern Cross Gold Project

Bullseye holds a tenement portfolio in the Southern Cross area, located approximately 470km east from Perth, on the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt. The Southern Cross region has a long, illustrious history of mineral exploration dating back to early prospector activity in the 19[th] century. The Southern Cross Greenstone Belt boasts over 150 known gold deposits and has historically produced over 15 million ounces of gold. The Belt contains a number of plus 1 million ounce gold deposits including the 3Moz Marvel Loch gold deposit, the 2.6Moz Bullfinch–Copperhead gold deposit and the 2.2Moz Bounty gold deposit.

Bullseye’s Southern Cross Project consists of a series of satellite tenements surrounding the Hopes Hill mine site in Southern Cross. Hopes Hill was the site of a c.1Mtpa gold processing plant in the late 1980s/early 1990s, processing gold ore from the Hopes Hill open pit and from various satellite mines surrounding the Hopes Hill mine site. Consequently, the Hopes Hill site is large enough to situate a new gold processing plant. Existing infrastructure including haul roads, power and water link the Bullseye satellite portfolio at Southern Cross to Hopes Hill.

All of the tenements within Bullseye’s Southern Cross Gold Project are linked by existing infrastructure and are within 40km of Bullseye’s Hopes Hill mine site. Similar mineralisation styles across the Southern Cross Gold Project will allow processing to be focussed at the central Hopes Hill site. The combination of short haulage distances and shared processing facilities will keep mining and processing costs low (see Figure 21).

41

==> picture [418 x 380] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 21 | Bullseye’s Southern Cross tenure, surrounding the Hopes Hill mine site

Bullseye drilling is planned to commence at Southern Cross in 2022, with permits to drill already granted. The Bullseye field crew have collected geochemical soil samples at Southern Cross which will support and enhance drill targeting. The ultimate aim at Southern Cross is to develop a series of satellite gold deposits, that when mined together, can support the upfront capital costs of an onsite plant at Hopes Hill, and through economies of scale, create a low operating cost/tonne for the Southern Cross Project.

Bullseye and its wholly owned subsidiary Broken Hill Metals Pty Ltd ( BHM ) have been engaging with SC Mining Services Pty Ltd ( SC Mining ) and its associated entity SG Gold Pty Ltd ( SGG ) with respect to the operation and establishment of a joint venture arrangement in respect of the Southern Cross Gold Project. In this regard:

  • (a) on 3 October 2020 Bullseye, BHM and SC Mining entered in an operating agreement pursuant to which SC Mining was appointed to act as operator and to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project and to which it was envisaged the parties would enter into a 50:50 joint venture to develop the project;

  • (b) on 4 February 2021 Bullseye, BHM and SC Mining agreed to formalise and proceed with the joint venture, with SC Mining nominating SGG as its relevant joint venture participating in place of SC Mining; and

42

  • (c) the parties are in the process of finalising and executing formal documentation to establish the terms of a joint venture between them, with the joint venture expected to have the following key principals:

  • (i) the joint venture will be incorporated, with each of Bullseye and SGG having a 50% shareholding in the joint venture company;

  • (ii) the joint venture structure may involve a unit trust, in respect of which the joint venture company would be the corporate trustee and each of Bullseye and SGG would hold 50% of the units of the trust;

  • (iii) Bullseye will be free-carried for all expenditure relating to the project until such time as commercial production is achieved at the project; and

  • (iv) SC Mining will continue to be responsible to manage the project on a day-to-day basis.

(j)

Aurora Project

The Aurora Project is located on the Marda Greenstone Belt, approximately 200km North from Southern Cross town. The Marda Greenstone Belt is significantly under-explored, and Bullseye holds a substantial and prospective landholding at Aurora of circa 300km[2] .

Bullseye have collected geochemical soil samples with further sampling planned to support further targeting and drilling.

(k)

Leonora Nickel Project

The Leonora Nickel Project is located approximately 57km north west from Leonora town.

Historical exploration drilling on the tenement shows potential for nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth, although further drilling is required. Historical exploration drill results included 12m @ 1.07% nickel (Ni), 24m @ 1.76% Ni and 0.12m @ 4.13% Ni.

6.3 Applications for forfeiture

As disclosed in Bullseye’s 2021 Annual Report, between the dates of 27 June 2019 through to 12 March 2020, Bullseye has received applications for forfeiture lodged against many of Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project tenements and the Company’s Southern Cross tenements. The applications for forfeiture have been lodged by the following parties against the following projects:

Project Applicant for forfeiture
North Laverton Gold Project • Zygmund Wolski; and
• Golden Soak Enterprises Pty Ltd (Michael Jay
Williams).
Southern Cross Gold Project • West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd (Vernon
Wesley Strange); and
• Zygmund Wolski.

18 applications for forfeiture have been lodged against Bullseye’s mining tenements by Golden Soak Enterprises Pty Ltd ( Golden Soak ) and a total of 55 applications for forfeiture

43

have collectively been lodged by West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd ( WAP ) and Mr Zygmund Wolski ( Wolski ) against mining tenements held by Bullseye and its subsidiaries.

In addition to the above, 14 objections to exemption from expenditure applications have been lodged by WAP or Wolski against 17 mining tenements held by Bullseye and its subsidiaries. If any of the objections to exemption from expenditure applications are determined in favour of Bullseye, then any forfeiture applications in respect of those 17 tenements will fall away.

The objections to exemption applications lodged by WAP have been listed for a substantive hearing on 8 and 9 February 2022. Bullseye expects that a substantive hearing of the objections to exemption applications lodged by Wolski will not be listed until the second half of 2022, at the earliest.

Bullseye has agreed with both WAP and Wolski that any substantive hearing of the applications for forfeiture lodged by those parties will not be heard until after the applications for exemptions have been determined. Bullseye expects that any substantive hearings of the Wolski forfeiture applications will not occur until early 2023 at the earliest, and in respect of the WAP forfeiture applications until late 2022 or early 2023 at the earliest

Most of the Golden Soak applications for forfeiture are second in time to forfeiture applications lodged by either WAP or Wolski. On that basis, Golden Soak and Bullseye have agreed that the first in time applications for forfeiture should be heard first.

Bullseye Board is of the view that the Plaints are opportunistic and without merit. Bullseye has engaged specialist legal counsel to assist in defending all outlined actions.

7. INFORMATION RELATING TO EMERALD

7.1 Important Notice

The following information regarding Emerald is based on public information, including information in the Bidder’s Statement, and has not been independently verified. Accordingly, Bullseye does not make any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The information on Emerald in this Target’s Statement should not be considered comprehensive.

For more information on Emerald, please refer to:

  • (a) section 3 of the Bidder’s Statement;

  • (b) the website of Emerald (www.emeraldresources.com.au); and

  • (c) the ASX disclosures of Emerald available on Emerald’s website and on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (under ASX Code: EMR).

7.2 Overview of Emerald

Emerald is a public company incorporated in Australia, which is listed on ASX, and was incorporated on 15 September 1969. Emerald has its registered office based in Perth, Western Australia.

Emerald is a developer and explorer of gold projects. In particular, Emerald has been focused on the development and commissioning of its most advanced project, the Okvau Gold Mine in Cambodia which saw first production in June 2021. Since production commenced in June 2021, Emerald has now poured over 1,000kgs of gold bullion from its operations.

Emerald also holds a number of other projects in Cambodia which are made up of a combination of granted mining licences (100% owned by Emerald), and interests in joint venture agreements. Together, Emerald’s interest in its Cambodian Projects covers a combined area of 1,239km2. The market capitalisation of Emerald as at the date of this Target’s Statement is approximately A$572.7 million.

7.3 Operations of Emerald

(a) Okvau Gold Mine operation

The Okvau Gold Mine Operation is the most advanced of Emerald’s projects. The Okvau Gold Mine is located approximately 275km north-east of Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh in the province of Mondulkiri. The town of Kratie is located on the Mekong River approximately 90km to the west and the capital of Mondulkiri, Saen Monourom is located approximately 60km to the south-east.

The principal activity during the 2021 financial year was the development of Emerald’s 100% owned Okvau Gold Mine. On 26 June 2021, Emerald announced its maiden gold pour after successfully commissioning the processing plant and gold room. Subsequently, commissioning activities continued on the sulphide float regrind circuit which was

52

successfully completed in July 2021. This marked the practical completion of the Okvau Gold Mine commissioning process and commencement of normal run of mine operations.

Following the successful commissioning of the processing plant and commencement of production, Emerald has now poured over 1,000kgs of gold bullion from its operations with a total of approximately US$58 million of gold doré to the date of the Bidder’s Statement. Fourteen shipments of gold bullion have now been delivered to the refinery and outturns received.

Emerald’s gold production guidance at the Okvau Gold Mine remains in line with the Definitive Feasibility Study (released on 1 May 2017 and subsequently updated on 26 November 2019) of 100,000oz to 110,000oz on an annualised basis. Production guidance for the remainder of FY2022 remains in line with DFS forecasts at 25-30,000/oz per quarter and cash costs of US$720 – US$780/oz. An indicative AISC for August and September 2021 was approximately US$723 per ounce and now having reached a steady state of production, full reporting of the AISC will commence from the December 2021 Quarter.

(b)

Memot project

The 100% owned Memot project is located 95km southwest of the Okvau Gold Mine. Emerald has received approval from the Cambodian Ministry of Environment and all relevant approvals to allow formal exploration activities to commence at the Memot project following completion and submission of an independently commissioned environmental impact assessment.

Identified historical work includes mapping and 23 rock chip samples (verified) from around the shafts and the artisanal workings. These results include 8 values greater that 9g/t with peak values of 72.8g/t, 74.5g/t and 83.2g/t Au coincident with high values of the same associated elements observed at the Okvau Gold Project (As, Te, Sb and Bi). In addition to the peak gold values, 3 rock chips samples also returned significant Ag (>190 g/t) and Cu (>3 %) values (refer to Emerald’s ASX Announcement dated 28 January 20213). Notably the highest grade (historical) rock chip samples were collected from the stockpiles created from spoils from underground mining.

A drilling program to test these grades has recently commenced at the Memot project.

(c) Preak Khlong and O’kthung Projects

Both gradient array and dipole-dipole geophysical surveys have been completed on Emerald’s 100% owned Preak Khlong NW and Gossan prospects (refer to Emerald’s ASX Announcements dated 1 April 2020, 30 April 2021 and 27 October 2021), The data was processed and modelled with a significant drill target identified. The interpreted IP chargeability anomaly indicates a potential zone of massive and disseminated sulphide alteration which is located beneath artisanal workings and previously announced historical drill intersections. Drilling is to continue in the upcoming dry season to adequately test the anomaly.

During the Quarter ending 31 March 2021 both O’Kapai and Big Toe prospects (refer to Emerald’s ASX announcements of 1 April 2020, 30 April 2021 and 27 October 2021) had gradient array geophysical surveys completed on 50m space lines. The interpreted results have identified significant zones of high chargeability responses, which are often associated with zone of potential sulphide mineralisation.

7.4 Financial information of Emerald

8. RISK FACTORS

8.1 Risks associated with accepting the offer

(a) The Conditions of the Offer have to be met

As set out in section 10.8 of the Bidder’s Statement and section 3.6 of this Target’s Statement, the Offer is subject to a number of Conditions. If these Conditions are not satisfied by the relevant date (or waived by Emerald, as applicable), the Offer will not be free of Conditions and therefore will not proceed.

(b) If there is a Superior Proposal you cannot withdraw

If a Superior Proposal is announced, Bullseye Shareholders who have accepted the Offer cannot withdraw their acceptance of the Offer and accept a Superior Proposal.

See section 10.5 of the Bidder’s Statement for more information.

As at the date of this Target’s Statement, the Directors are not aware of any Superior Proposal.

(c) Capital Gains Tax

If Emerald acquires a Relevant Interest in at least 90% of Bullseye Shares, then it is expected that Bullseye Shareholders will be eligible for CGT rollover relief. In this regard, Emerald has undertaken in favour of Bullseye to do all things reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure that CGT roll-over relief is available to Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer made to them.

If Emerald does not acquire a Relevant Interest in at least 90% of Bullseye Shares and the Minimum Acceptance Condition is not waived, then the Offer will not be successful, and Bullseye Shareholders will not dispose of their Bullseye Shares under the Offer.

However, in circumstances where the Minimum Acceptance Condition is not satisfied and Emerald and Bullseye still want the Offer to proceed, then it is not certain whether scrip-forscrip CGT rollover relief will be available to Bullseye Shareholders as it will depend upon the ultimate Relevant Interest that Emerald acquires in Bullseye. For CGT rollover relief to be available to you, Emerald must become the owner of 80% or more of the Bullseye Shares under the Offer and you must make a capital gain on the disposal of the Bullseye Shares. If a capital loss arises, no CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief is available.

Please refer to sections 7 and 8.2(d) of the Bidder’s Statement for further information.

(d) Bullseye has not independently verified Emerald’s information

Bullseye has relied on publicly available information released by Emerald, which has not been independently verified by Bullseye. Bullseye assumes that Emerald has complied with its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

Any inaccuracy in this information could adversely affect the anticipated results of operations of the Combined Group.

8.2 Risks associated with being an Emerald Shareholder

(a) Issue of Emerald Shares as consideration

56

Bullseye Shareholders are being offered consideration under the Offer that consists of a specified number of Emerald Shares, rather than a number of Emerald Shares with a specified market value. As a result, the value of the consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of the Emerald Shares.

Furthermore, under the Offer, Emerald will issue a significant number of Emerald Shares. Some Bullseye Shareholders may not intend to continue to hold Emerald Shares and may wish to sell them on ASX. There is a risk that if a significant number of Bullseye Shareholders seek to sell their Emerald Shares this may adversely impact the price of Emerald Shares.

(b) Integration risks

There are risks that any integration between the businesses of the Emerald Group and the Bullseye Group may take longer than expected and that anticipated efficiencies and benefits of that integration may be less than estimated. These risks include possible differences in the management culture of the two groups, an inability to achieve synergy benefits and cost savings, and the potential loss of key personnel.

(c) Change in risk and investment profile

Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer will be exposed to risk factors relating to Emerald, and to certain additional risks relating to the Combined Group and the integration of the two companies. These include risks relating to the operation of a broader suite of assets (both in nature and scale) than Bullseye owns.

8.3 Risks associated with not accepting the Offer

(a) Emerald as a Bullseye Shareholder

There are some risks associated with the Offer for Bullseye Shareholders who do not accept the Offer and remain Bullseye Shareholders. If, in connection with or following the Offer, Emerald acquires between 90% and 100% of the Bullseye Shares, Emerald may be entitled to compulsorily acquire the remaining Bullseye Shares.

If Emerald does not acquire a Relevant Interest of at least 90% of the Bullseye Shares, it may choose to waive the 90% Minimum Acceptance Condition of its Offer. If Emerald acquires more than 50.1% but less than 90% of the Bullseye Shares, Emerald will hold a controlling interest in Bullseye. The remaining Bullseye Shareholders will be in a minority position in a company with a large controlling shareholder whose objectives for Bullseye may differ from their own. The remaining Bullseye Shareholders could also encounter a lower level of liquidity in Bullseye Shares than exists today, which could result in a lower price for those Bullseye Shares should they wish to sell them in future.

Further, if Emerald elects to free the Offer from the 90% Minimum Acceptance Condition, it is possible that Emerald could ultimately acquire less than 50.1% of Bullseye Shares on issue under the Offer. The existence of a minority interest in Bullseye may have an impact on the operations of Bullseye, although this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of Bullseye ownership acquired by Emerald.

This has a number of possible implications including the following:

  • Emerald will be able to cast the majority of votes at a general meeting of Bullseye, which will enable it to control the Board and senior management, determine Bullseye’s dividend policy and control the strategic direction of Bullseye;

57

  • subject to the Corporations Act and Bullseye’s constitution, Emerald may appoint nominees of Emerald to the Board;

  • your Directors believe it is reasonably likely that the liquidity of Bullseye Shares would be lower than at present if a number of Bullseye Shareholders accept the Offer; and

  • if Emerald acquires 75% or more of Bullseye Shares, it will be able to pass special resolutions of Bullseye. This will enable Emerald to amend Bullseye’s constitution.

Bullseye’s share value may fall

If the Offer is unsuccessful and no other offers emerge, the value of Bullseye Shares may decrease and Bullseye Shareholders will be exposed to the ongoing risks associated with an investment in Bullseye. In particular:

  • Bullseye Shareholders will have full exposure to the development risk associated with Bullseye’s existing projects, and will not benefit from Emerald’s development expertise or financial strength; and

  • there is a strong probability Bullseye will have to raise additional funds to fund the development of its projects potentially through an issue of equity, which could dilute your investment in Bullseye.

(c)

If you do not accept the Offer

Liquidity in Bullseye Shares may be significantly reduced, and Emerald may be entitled to acquire your Bullseye Shares through compulsory acquisition (see section 3.19 of this Target’s Statement).

(d) Potential difficulties securing requisite development capital

There can be no assurance that Bullseye, as an unlisted public company, will generate sufficient cashflow or have the same access to investment, loans or other financing alternatives as Emerald as an ASX listed company, with a larger balance sheet. The ongoing litigation referred to in section 9.11 of this Target’s Statement may also impact Bullseye’s capacity to obtain finance or capital if the Offer is unsuccessful.

(e) Severe tightening of WA resources labour market

The past 12 – 18 month period has seen a severe tightening of the resources labour market, particularly in Western Australia which has been further exacerbated by COVID-19 related border closures and restrictions on the movement of people and equipment in and out of the State. Acceptance of the Offer provides access to Emerald’s strong existing operational team and helps mitigate such labour risk in the current environment.

8.4

Risks associated with holding Bullseye Shares

If you decide not to accept the Offer and retain your Bullseye Shares, you will continue to be exposed to the risks associated with being a Bullseye Shareholder. Holding a Bullseye Share provides an economic interest in the ongoing operating activities of Bullseye. However, there is no guarantee that Bullseye will become profitable in the future as the business is affected by many risk factors.

These may be risks that are widespread risks associated with any form of business or specific risks associated with Bullseye’s business and its involvement in the exploration and mining

58

industry. The following summary sets out some of the major risks which affect Bullseye. These are not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Bullseye or by Bullseye Shareholders. These factors, and others not specifically referred to, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of Bullseye or the value of Bullseye Shares. Where relevant, the risk factors below assume the Offer will not be successful and Bullseye will continue to develop its projects interests.

(a) General market risks

The value of Bullseye Shares will be influenced by a number of factors that are common to most public companies, which may include:

  • the Australian and international economic outlook;

  • changes in economic conditions including commodity prices, inflation, recessions and interest rates; and

  • changes in government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.

(b) Company specific risks

Future Bullseye Share value

There is a risk the value of Bullseye Shares may fall if the Offer is unsuccessful. The Directors are not in a position to speculate on future trading price of Bullseye Shares. The future price of Bullseye Shares is dependent not only on Bullseye’s performance, but also external market and other factors.

Financing and capital

Bullseye’s continued ability to effectively implement its business plan over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. Notwithstanding Bullseye’s current financial position, Bullseye’s capacity to develop projects depends on its ability to put funding solutions in place.

There can be no assurance that Bullseye, as an unlisted public company, will generate sufficient cashflow or have the same access to investment, loans or other financing alternatives as Emerald as an ASX listed company. The ongoing litigation referred to in section 9.11 of this Target’s Statement may also impact Bullseye’s capacity to obtain finance or capital if the Offer is unsuccessful.

If the Offer is unsuccessful, there is a risk Bullseye may not be able to fund its own projects, or may only be able to do so on unfavourable terms. It is likely Bullseye will need to raise funds by way of an equity issue which could potentially significantly dilute your interest in Bullseye.

Exploration and development risk

Bullseye’s future value will be materially dependent on the success or otherwise of Bullseye’s activities which are directed towards the exploration, evaluation and development of gold and other resources. Exploration for and development of these resources is speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. Although the rewards can be substantial, there is no guarantee that future exploration on Bullseye tenure will lead to a commercial discovery or, if there is such discovery, that Bullseye will be able to develop it economically. If at any stage Bullseye is precluded from pursuing any

59

of its exploration programs or from developing any resource it may identify, this may have an adverse effect on the value of Bullseye Shares.

Resources and reserve estimates

Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgements 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 development and mining plans which may, in turn, adversely affect Bullseye’s operations.

Bullseye’s projects may yield less gold and precious metals under actual production conditions than indicated by Bullseye’s mineral resource estimates, which are estimates based on a number of assumptions.

Mine development

Possible future development of mining operations at Bullseye’s projects is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the acquisition and/or delineation of economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.

If Bullseye continues production, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control. No assurance can be given that Bullseye will achieve commercial viability through the further development of its projects.

Operating risks

The current and future operations of Bullseye, including exploration, appraisal and potentially construction and production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including adverse geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes, riots and other force majeure events, unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and the inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.

Key contracts

The potential future construction, commissioning and operation of Bullseye’s projects will be dependent on securing key contracts. There can be no assurance that contract negotiations will achieve the estimates assumed in any of the studies prepared in relation to Bullseye’s projects, or that contractors will comply with their obligations under the key contracts.

Geological, metallurgical and geotechnical

60

There is a risk that unforeseen geological, metallurgical and geotechnical difficulties may be encountered when exploring, developing and mining ore reserves. In this event, a loss of revenue may be caused due to the lower than expected production and/or higher than anticipated operation and maintenance costs and/ or on-going unplanned capital expenditure in order to meet production targets.

The future indebtedness of Bullseye

If Bullseye enters into a project financing facility, the conditions imposed on Bullseye by its financing arrangements could materially and adversely affect its business and results of operations. Any failure by Bullseye to comply with the terms of a proposed project finance facility could lead to a termination of that facility or accelerate amounts due under that facility. Bullseye could be exposed to adverse interest rate and exchange rate movements as a result of entering into any such proposed project finance facility.

Occupational Health and Safety risk

The mining industry is an inherently hazardous industry, and is subject to increasing occupational health and safety responsibility and liability. The potential for significant loss and liability is a constant risk. If Bullseye fails to comply with necessary occupational health and safety legislative requirements, it could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage.

Environmental risk

All phases of Bullseye’s exploration and potential mining operations are subject to environmental regulation. There can be no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Bullseye’s operations, including in relation to pre-existing environmental hazards unknown to Bullseye at present. Reclamation costs are uncertain and planned expenditures may differ from the actual expenditures required.

The Conditions of the Offer are set out in section 3.6 of this Target’s Statement, section 10.8 of the Bidder’s Statement and Schedule 2 of the Bid Implementation Agreement.

Excluded Arrangements as per Bid Implementation Agreement

On 29 November 2021, Emerald and Bullseye entered into a Bid Implementation Agreement in relation to the Offer, whereby the parties agreed to carve out certain Excluded Arrangements in relation to material Bullseye contracts:

Under the Bid Implementation Agreement the term “Excluded Arrangements” was defined to mean any transactional, operational and incidental activities undertaken by any member of the Bullseye Group in respect of any of the following:

  • (a) the progression of any transaction in respect of the Bullseye Group’s Southern Cross Gold Project portfolio, as contemplated under any draft agreement previously disclosed to Emerald (including the entry by any member of the Bullseye Group into any of those agreements on substantially the same terms as has previously been disclosed to Emerald);

  • (b) continuation of all current planned mining works by the Blue Cap JV at the Bungarra deposit, including Stage 3 cut-back, haulage and processing of circa 100,000 Bungarra ore tonnes, to be processed via toll treatment arrangement in or around March 2022;

  • (a) any such change of control results in Emerald having control of Bullseye as a result of the Offer; and

  • (b) the change of control occurs prior to 28 May 2022.

9.10 Continuous disclosure

64
