LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Ookami Limited ( Ookami or the Company ), I am delighted to invite you to participate in a one (1) for 10 non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an offer price of A$0.18 per New Share ( Offer Price ), together with one (1) free attaching New Option for every three (3) New Shares, to raise gross proceeds of up to A$683,040 ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer was announced to the ASX on 22 April 2022 in conjunction with a A$1,350,000 placement of 7,500,000 New Shares at the Offer Price, together with one (1) free attaching New Option for every three (3) New Shares, issued to institutional and professional investors ( Placement ). Refer to Sections 2 and 4 for further detail regarding the Entitlement Offer, the Placement and the indicative use of funds to be raised from each of them (among other things).

On 22 April 2022, Ookami announced that it had entered into a share sale agreement ( Share Sale Agreement ) to acquire the entire issued share capital of African Mining Corporation Pty Ltd ( AMC ) ( Transaction ), which is party to an earn-in agreement ( Earn-In Agreement ) with three Cameroonian incorporated entities, Elephant Mining Limited, Heritage Mining Limited and Mungo Resources Limited ( Cameroonian Companies ), pursuant to which AMC has the right to earn up to an 85% equity interest in the Cameroonian Companies. The Cameroonian Companies have applied for six mineral exploration permits in southern Cameroon, covering a total of 2,600 km[2] , that are considered prospective for rutile and Heavy Mineral Sands.

Ookami intends to use the proceeds from the Entitlement Offer and Placement to fund the Earn-In (if the conditions of the Share Sale Agreement are satisfied and the Transaction completes). Completion of the Entitlement Offer and/or the Placement is not conditional on the completion of the Share Sale Agreement. Refer to the Company's ASX announcements dated 22 April 2022 for further information regarding the Transaction and Earn-In Agreement.

Offer details

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders as at the Record Date will have the opportunity to subscribe for New Shares at the Issue Price, being the same price as the Shares to be issued under the Placement. Shares issued under the Placement and the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing shares in all respects.

Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer can choose to take up all, part or none of their Entitlement. The Entitlement Offer will open on 5 May 2022 and close at 5.00pm (AEST) on 6 June 2022. There is also an opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to apply for more than their Entitlement as part of the Shortfall Offer outlined in Section 2.9. The Shortfall Offer is made on the same basis as the Entitlement Offer (i.e. one (1) New Option for every three (3) New Shares subscribed for and issued). Further information about how to take up all or part of your Entitlement is detailed in Section 3 of this Prospectus.

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten and under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter agreed to act as arranger for the underwriting of the Entitlement Offer. The obligations of the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement are conditional on (amongst other matters) the Share Sale Agreement not being terminated. The Entitlement Offer will be underwritten by CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd, with Inyati Capital Pty Ltd acting as sub-underwriter.

Further information

Further information and application instructions for the Entitlement Offer, as well as the risks associated with investing in the Entitlement Offer are detailed in this Prospectus which you should read carefully and in its entirety.

Topic Summary Summary Further
Information
Risks Specific Some of the key risks of investing in the Company are Section 6
to the detailed below. The list of risks is not exhaustive and further
Company details of these risks and other risks associated with an
investment in the Company are detailed in Section 6.
Foreign operations –The Company's operations
are located in Cameroon and Senegal, both of
which are considered to be developing countries
and as such subject to emerging legal and political
systems compared with the system in place in
Australia.
Possible sovereign risks include, without limitation,
changes to the terms of mining legislation
including renewal and continuity of tenure of
permits, transfer of ownership of acquired permits
to the Company, changes to royalty arrangements,
changes to taxation rates and concessions,
restrictions on foreign ownership and foreign
exchange, changing political conditions, changing
mining and investment policies and changes in the
ability to enforce legal rights.
Future operations and profitability in Senegal and
Cameroon
may
be
affected
by
changing
government regulations with respect, but not
limited, to restrictions on production, price controls,
export controls, currency remittance, income
taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims,
environmental legislation, land use, land claims of
local people, water use, mine safety and
government and local participation. Failure to
comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations
and local practices relating to mineral tenure and
development could result in the loss, reduction or
expropriation of entitlements. The occurrence of
these and other various factors cannot be
accurately predicted and could have an adverse
effect on the Company's future operations and
profitability.

Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its Securities. No assurance can be given regarding the future stability in these or any other country in which the Company may have an interest.

Title Risk – The Company’s exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including the grant and renewal) of the mineral exploration applications and permits in which the Company will acquire an interest in. Maintenance of the Company’s future mineral exploration permits is dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet the licence conditions imposed by relevant authorities including compliance with the work program requirements which, in turn, is dependent on the Company being sufficiently funded to meet those expenditure requirements.

A failure to satisfy the minimum expenditure requirements and/or the exploration work program in respect to the Company's projects could result in a refusal by the mining authorities to renew or extend the relevant exploration permit or, in certain circumstances, the exploration permits may be withdrawn or revoked by the relevant authorities.

12

Topic Summary Summary Further
Information
Transaction Risk –Completion of the Transaction
is subject to the satisfaction of a number of
conditions precedent (including the grant of four of
the permits) – refer to the ASX announcement
dated 22 April 2022 for further details. There is a
risk that one or more of these conditions
precedents under the Share Sale Agreement may
not be satisfied and/or waived (and consequently
the Transaction does not complete). Further, there
is also a risk that the Share Sale Agreement may
be terminated due to (amongst other matters) a
breach of the terms of the Share Sale Agreement.
If
the
Transaction
does
not
complete,
Shareholders will not receive any benefits and/or
obtain any potential return from this acquisition.
COVID-19 Risk –The global economic outlook
continuing to face uncertainty due to the current
COVID-19 pandemic, which has been having, and
will likely continue to have, a significant impact on
global capital markets, commodity prices and
foreign exchange. As at the date of this
Prospectus, the nature and extent of the effect of
COVID-19 on the performance of the Company
remains unknown and the Share price may be
adversely affected in the short to medium term by
the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-
19 pandemic. In addition, 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 Company's inability to move people and
equipment freely and/or access the Company's
projects (including by reason of any restrictions
imposed by the Senegal and/or Cameroon
government) could have a material adverse effect
and/or impact on the Company's activities,
exploration budget and program and the strategy,
funding and objectives of the Company. The
Directors are continuing to monitor the situation
and will update the market in respect to any
material impact regarding COVID-19.

Exploration Potential and Mine Development – The applications and permits comprising the Company's projects are at a very early stage of exploration and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the permits, or any other licenses that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The risk associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full as part of the Company's exploration activities and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.

Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company'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 parties and authorities, seasonal
weather patterns, unanticipated technical and
operation 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. No
assurance can be given that the Company will
achieve
commercial
viability
through
the
development of the Company's projects.
Future capital requirements –The Company's
growth through its proposed and future exploration
campaigns will require additional expenditure. The
Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely
to generate any operating revenue unless and until
the projects are successfully explored, evaluated,
developed and production commences. The future
capital requirements of the Company will depend
on
many
factors
including
its
business
development activities. Whilst the Company
believes its available cash and the net proceeds of
the Placement and Entitlement Offer should be
adequate to fund its business development
activities, exploration program and other Company
objectives in the short term, there can be no
guarantees that it will be sufficient to successfully
achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall
business strategy.

If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Placement and Entitlement Offer and existing working capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or if at all.

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

Exploration Costs – Exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's operations.

Operational – The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including

failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure
to achieve predicted grades in exploration,
operational and technical difficulties encountered
in mining, difficulties in commissioning and
operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure
or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical
problems which may affect extraction costs,
adverse
weather
conditions,
industrial
and
environmental accidents, industrial disputes and
unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of
consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment,
fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the
control of the Company.
Earn-in and contractual risk– The Company has
an initial 57% interest in Valhalla Minerals Ltd
(being a 51% indirect interest in the Boulbi Project)
and is a party to a joint venture for the
management of the Boulbi Project. Refer to the
replacement prospectus dated 23 April 2021 for
further details. Under the terms of the Boulbi earn-
in agreement, the Company will have the right to
spend a minimum amount of US$750,000 to earn-
in an additional 21% interest in Valhalla (resulting
in a 70% indirect interest in the Boulbi Project). If
the Company elects not to earn this additional
interest, its interest in the Boulbi Project will be
reduced to a 49% minority interest and the
Company will lose effective control over the Boulbi
Project.

Further, following the completion of the Transaction, the Company will hold 100% of AMC which is a party to the Earn-In Agreement. Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, the Company will have the right to spend up to US$5,500,000 to earn up to an 85% interest in the Cameroon Companies. The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives under the Earn-In Agreement will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the Earn-In Agreement. There is a risk that the parties to the Boulbi earnin agreement and/or the Earn-In Agreement may default on their obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture, which in either case will likely have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.

Commodity price volatility – As future revenues will primarily be derived from the sale of copper, nickel and cobalt, any future earnings will be closely related to the price of these commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for copper, nickel and cobalt, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in major copper, nickel and cobalt producing regions.

Moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the commodity as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration and development

2.4 Removal of Secondary Trading Restrictions

Generally, section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to on-sell those securities within 12 months after the date of their issue.

Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act provides an exception to section 707(3) where an entity issues a ‘cleansing’ notice under section 708A(5). However, the Company has been suspended from trading on the ASX for more than 5 days in the last 12 months and as a result is precluded from issuing a ‘cleansing’ notice in accordance with section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act.

Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides another exemption from this general requirement where:

  • (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on ASX;

  • (b) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:

  • (i) on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or

  • (ii) before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and

  • (c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

A secondary purpose of this Prospectus is to comply with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to remove any trading restrictions that may have attached to the Placement Shares to be issued by the Company so that the holders of the Placement Shares, if they choose to, may sell those Placement Shares within the 12 months following their issue, without the issue of a prospectus. The Company did not issue the Placement Shares with the purpose of the persons to whom they were issued selling or transferring the Placement Shares, or granting, issuing or transferring interests in the Placement Shares within 12 months of the issue, however this Prospectus provides them with the ability to do so should they wish.

2.5 Purpose of this Prospectus

The purpose of this Prospectus is to:

  • (a) make the Offers;

  • (b) ensure that the on-sale of Placement Options, Lead Manager Options and Underwriter Options do not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act;

19

  • (c) ensure that the on-sale of the underlying Shares to be issued upon the conversion of Placement Options, Lead Manager Options and Underwriter Options is in accordance with ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/80; and

  • (d) ensure that the on-sale of the Placement Shares does not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act by relying on the exemption to the secondary trading provisions in section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

2.6 No Rights Trading

The rights to New Securities under the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your rights to subscribe for New Securities under the Entitlement Offer to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to New Securities under the Entitlement Offer by the Closing Date, your Entitlement will lapse.

2.7

2.8

Please note that payment made by BPAY® must be received no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on the Closing Date. It is the responsibility of all Eligible Shareholders to ensure that their BPAY® payments are received by the Company on or before the Closing Date.

The closing date for:

  • (a) the Placement Options Offer is until 5.00pm (AEST) 2 June 2022 ( Placement Options Offer Closing Date ). The Company will accept the Placement Options Offer Application Forms from 5 May 2022 until the Placement Options Offer Closing Date;

  • (b) the Lead Manager Options Offer is until 5.00pm (AEST) 2 June 2022 ( Lead Manager Options Offer Closing Date ). The Company will accept the Lead Manager Options Offer Application Forms from 5 May 2022 until the Lead Manager Options Offer Closing Date; and

2.9 Shortfall Offer and Allocation Policy

Any New Securities under the Entitlement Offer that are not applied for will form the Shortfall Securities. The offer to issue Shortfall Securities is a separate offer under this Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ).

Under this Prospectus, the Company offers to issue the Shortfall Securities to investors at the same price of A$0.18 per New Share as that offered under the Entitlement Offer (together with one (1) free attaching New Option for every three (3) Shortfall Shares issued). The Shortfall Shares will have the same rights as the New Shares as detailed in Section 7.1. The New Options offered under the Shortfall Offer will have the terms and conditions detailed in Section 7.2.

20

Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Securities by completing the relevant section of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form (refer to Section 3 for further details).

Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Underwriter, the Company will allocate Shortfall Securities according to the following priority:

  • (a) to each Eligible Shareholder who applied for Shortfall Securities through the Shortfall Offer; and

  • (b) if following the allocation in paragraph (a) there remains unallocated Shortfall Securities, the Shortfall Securities will be allocated to the Underwriter, who may allocate the Shortfall Securities to any sub-underwriter.

This shortfall allocation policy has been structured to allow each Eligible Shareholder to participate in priority to any other investors to try to reduce the number of Shortfall Securities that may be issued to the Underwriter. Shortfall Securities will not be offered or issued to any Applicant if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase the Applicant's voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or other applicable law.

An Application for Shortfall Securities accompanied by payment of Application Monies does not guarantee the allotment of Shortfall Securities. The Shortfall Securities will be allocated within three months from the Closing Date.

In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the Company reserves the rights to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than the number applied for, reject an Application or not proceed with the issue of the Shortfall Securities or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Securities issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.

The Directors reserves, in consultation with the Underwriter and subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the right to place Shortfall Securities within three months of the Closing Date.

2.10 Fractional Entitlements

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, with Entitlements to less than half of a New Security rounded down. For this purpose, holdings in the same name are aggregated for calculation of Entitlements, to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules. If the Company considers that holdings have been split to take advantage of rounding, the Company reserves the right to aggregate holdings held by associated Shareholders for the purpose of calculating Entitlements, to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules.

2.11 Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten and under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter agreed to act as arranger for the underwriting of the Entitlement Offer.

A summary of the Underwriting Agreement (including the circumstances in which it may be terminated) is set out in Section 8.1.

2.12 Risks of the Offers

As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. However, having regard to the matters detailed in the Letter and the risks applicable to the Company and its business detailed in Section 6, Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the New Securities should be considered highly speculative and there exists a risk that you may, in the future, lose some or all of the value of your investment.

Before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety, in particular the specific risks associated with an investment in the Company (detailed in Section 6),

21

and should consider all factors in light of their personal circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.

23

(an Eligible Shareholder ).

If you are a Shareholder who does not satisfy each of the criteria listed above, you are an “ Ineligible Shareholder ”. Where this Prospectus has been despatched to Ineligible Shareholders, this Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. The Company reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder.

By making a payment by BPAY®, you will be taken to have represented and warranted that you satisfy each of the criteria listed above to be an Eligible Shareholder. Nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent professional advice as to how to proceed.

By receiving this Prospectus, you will be taken to have acknowledged and agreed that determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer is determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal and regulatory requirements, logistical and registry constraints and the discretion of the Company and each of the Company and the Joint Lead Managers and each of their respective affiliates disclaim any duty or liability (including for negligence) in respect of that determination and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand, having regard to the number of such holders in those places and the number and value of the New Securities that they would be offered, and the cost of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places. The Company may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have registered addresses outside Australia or New Zealand in accordance with applicable law.

2.19 Nominees

The Entitlement Offer is only being made to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares (e.g. for the purposes of determining whether any such persons may participate in the Entitlement Offer).

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside those jurisdictions is restricted by law and persons outside of those jurisdictions should observe such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

This document has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority.

2.22

Taxation Implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Securities.

4.4 Effect on Control

The Company has not appointed a nominee in respect of the Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the exemption to the 20% takeovers threshold under item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act is not available to Shareholders taking up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

No New Shares will be issued to any Shareholder or Applicant pursuant to this Prospectus if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Shareholder's or Applicant's Voting Power in the Company above 20% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

The Offers are not expected to give rise to control implications for the Company albeit that the effect of the Offers on the Voting Power in the Company, for the purposes of the Corporations Act, is dependent upon the number of New Shares taken up.

As at the date of this Prospectus, no persons (including any persons with their associates) have voting power in 5% or more of the Shares on issue.

Risks

New Securities are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors that may affect its future performance. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Directors and management of the Company and cannot be mitigated.

The risks described in this Section are not an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. It should be considered in conjunction with other information in this Prospectus. The risks described in, and others not specifically referred to, in this Section 6 may in the future materially affect the financial performance and position of the Company and the value of New Securities offered under this Prospectus. The New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of those securities. The risks described in this Section 6 also necessarily include forward looking statements. Actual events may be materially different to those described and may therefore affect the Company in a different way.

Investors should be aware that the performance of the Company may be affected and the value of its Shares may rise or fall over any given period. None of the Directors or any person associated with the Company guarantees the Company's performance, the performance of the New Securities the subject of the Offers or the market price at which the New Securities will trade. The Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consider the risks detailed in this Section 6, together with information detailed elsewhere in this Prospectus, and consult their professional advisers, before they decide whether to apply for New Securities.

6.1

Risks Specific to the Company

(a) Foreign operations

The Company's operations are located in Cameroon and Senegal, both of which are considered to be developing countries and as such subject to emerging legal and political systems compared with the system in place in Australia.

Possible sovereign risks include, without limitation, changes to the terms of mining legislation including renewal and continuity of tenure of permits, transfer of ownership of acquired permits to the Company, changes to royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and concessions, restrictions on foreign ownership and foreign exchange, changing political conditions, changing mining and investment policies and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights.

Future operations and profitability in Senegal and Cameroon may be affected by changing government regulations with respect, but not limited, to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, income taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use, mine safety and government and local participation. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral tenure and development could result in the loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements. The occurrence of these and other various factors cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company's future operations and profitability.

Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its Securities. No assurance can be given regarding the future stability in these or any other country in which the Company may have an interest.

(b) Title Risk

The Company’s exploration activities are dependent upon the maintenance (including granting and renewal) of the mineral exploration applications and permits in which the Company will acquire an interest in. Maintenance of the Company’s future mineral exploration permits is dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet

36

the licence conditions imposed by relevant authorities including compliance with the work program requirements which, in turn, is dependent on the Company being sufficiently funded to meet those expenditure requirements.

A failure to satisfy the minimum expenditure requirements and/or the exploration work program in respect to the Company's projects could result in a refusal by the mining authorities to renew or extend the relevant exploration permit or, in certain circumstances, the exploration permits may be withdrawn or revoked by the relevant authorities.

(c)

Transaction Risk

Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent (including the grant of four of the permits) – refer to the ASX announcement dated 22 April 2022 for further details. There is a risk that one or more of these conditions precedents under the Share Sale Agreement may not be satisfied and/or waived (and consequently the Transaction does not complete). Further, there is also a risk that the Share Sale Agreement may be terminated due to (amongst other matters) a breach of the terms of the Share Sale Agreement. If the Transaction does not complete, Shareholders will not receive any benefits and/or obtain any potential return from this acquisition.

(d)

COVID-19 Risk

The global economic outlook continuing to face uncertainty due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has been having, and will likely continue to have, a significant impact on global capital markets, commodity prices and foreign exchange. As at the date of this Prospectus, the nature and extent of the effect of COVID-19 on the performance of the Company remains unknown and the Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, 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 Company's inability to move people and equipment freely and/or access the Company's projects (including by reason of any restrictions imposed by the Senegal and/or Cameroon government) could have a material adverse effect and/or impact on the Company's activities, exploration budget and program and the strategy, funding and objectives of the Company. The Directors are continuing to monitor the situation and will update the market in respect to any material impact regarding COVID-19.

(e) Exploration Potential and Mine Development

The applications and permits comprising the Company's projects are at a very early stage of exploration and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the permits, or any other licenses that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. The risk associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full as part of the Company's exploration activities and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.

Possible future development of a mining operation at any of the Company'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 parties and authorities, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operation 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. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Company's projects.

(f) Future capital requirements

37

The Company's growth through its proposed and future exploration campaigns will require additional expenditure. The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the projects are successfully explored, evaluated, developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. Whilst the Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Placement and Entitlement Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term, there can be no guarantees that it will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company's overall business strategy.

If the Company is unable to use debt or equity to fund expansion after the substantial exhaustion of the net proceeds of the Placement and Entitlement Offer and existing working capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital resources for that purpose, or other purposes, or that it will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or if at all.

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

(g)

Exploration Costs

The Company advises that the exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's operations.

(h) Operational

The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.

(i)

Earn-in and contractual risk

The Company has an initial 57% interest in Valhalla Minerals Ltd (being a 51% indirect interest in the Boulbi Project) and is a party to a joint venture for the management of the Boulbi Project. Refer to the replacement prospectus dated 23 April 2021 for further details. Under the terms of the Boulbi earn-in agreement, the Company will have the right to spend a minimum amount of US$750,000 to earn-in an additional 21% interest in Valhalla (resulting in a 70% indirect interest in the Boulbi Project). If the Company elects not to earn this additional interest, its interest in the Boulbi Project will be reduced to a 49% minority interest and the Company will lose effective control over the Boulbi Project.

Further, following the completion of the Transaction, the Company will hold 100% of AMC which is a party to the Earn-In Agreement. Under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, the Company will have the right to spend up to US$5,500,000 to earn up to an 85% interest in the Cameroon Companies. The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives under the Earn-In Agreement will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the Earn-In Agreement.

38

There is a risk that the parties to the Boulbi earn-in agreement and/or the Earn-In Agreement may default on their obligations or not act in the best interests of the joint venture, which in either case will likely have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.

(j)

Commodity price volatility

As future revenues will primarily be derived from the sale of copper, nickel and cobalt, any future earnings will be closely related to the price of these commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for copper, nickel and cobalt, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in major copper, nickel and cobalt producing regions.

Moreover, commodity prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the commodity as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration and development activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

International prices of various commodities, including copper, nickel and cobalt, are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken in account in Australian dollars, consequently exposing the Company to fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined by the international markets.

(k)

Reliance on key management personnel and labour shortages

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people, due to the relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(l)

Contractual disputes

As with any contract, there is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement or dispute in relation to a term of the contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and performance generally. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against all such risks.

(m)

Competition

The Company will be subject to competition from other operators in the minerals and resources industry. A number of factors, including any one or more of the following, could increase the market share of any of those competitors relative to the Company's share and materially affect the Company's financial performance and position:

  • (i) acquiring or developing technologies which give them a competitive advantage;

  • (ii) lowering prices;

  • (iii) increasing scale or range of products or services; or

  • (iv) undertaking strategic moves to combine or consolidate their business.

  • (n) Insurance

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance' with industry practice. However, insurance of all risks associated with exploration is not always available and,

39

where it is available, the cost may be high. The Company will have insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs.

The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as extreme weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties, buildings, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms.

The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that an insurer defaults in the payment of a legitimate claim by the Company.

(o) Occupational health and safety risk

The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. Exploration activities have inherent risks and hazards. The Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information and training to all stakeholders through its occupational, health and safety management systems.

(p) Environmental

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the intention of the Company to adhere to its environmental obligations, including compliance with environmental laws.

Mining operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with the safety and damage of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration activities. The occurrence of any such safety or environmental incident could have a material impact to the operations of the Company.

Further, events such as unpredictable rainfall or bushfires may impact on the Company's ongoing compliance with environmental legislation, regulations and licences. Significant liabilities could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain discharges to the environment, environmental damage caused by previous operations or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.

(q) Mineral resources estimates

The Company does not presently have any JORC compliant resources on the mining permits. In the event that a resource is delineated this would be an estimate only. The interpretation of exploration results and mineral resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when originally made may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, exploration results and mineral 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 the Company’s operations.

40

(r) Regulatory Risks

The Company's activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consent, environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters and other matters. The Company requires permits related to exploration, development and mining activities.

Whilst the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material current laws and regulations, changes in how laws and regulations are enforced or regulatory interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of existing permits and agreements applicable to the Company or its future projects. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company's future and planned operations in respect to the projects.

Obtaining the necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not be able to obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, could result in fines, penalties or other liabilities.

6.2 General Risks

(a) Economic risk

Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, including but not limited to:

  • (i) general economic conditions;

  • (ii) changes in Government policies, taxation and other laws;

  • (iii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world;

  • (iv) industrial disputes in Australia and overseas;

  • (v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (vi) financial failure or default by an entity with which the Company may become involved in a contractual relationship; and

  • (vii) natural disasters, social upheaval or war.

  • (b) Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and Directors. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of the Company or its growth potential if one or more of these employees cease their employment and suitable replacements are not identified and engaged in a timely manner.

(c) Trading Price of Securities

The price at which the Securities are quoted on ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors outside of the Company's control and which are not explained by the fundamental operations and activities of the Company. The price of Securities may be

41

subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks ,and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Securities. These factors may cause the Securities to trade at prices above or below the price at which the Securities were initially acquired.

In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.

(d) Additional Requirements for Capital

The capital requirements of the Company depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the Company to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

(e) Economic Risks

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

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

  • (f) Force Majeure

The Company, now or in the future, may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

6.3 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Securities.

42

The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Securities. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for New Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

43

7. Rights attaching to New Securities

7.1 Rights attaching to New Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to New Shares is detailed below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities that attach to New Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

(a) General Meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any

44

law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder Liability

As the Shares under this Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of Rights

Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

8.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

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. The New Shares are in the same class as Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a 'transaction specific prospectus' to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or operation to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms 'transaction specific prospectuses' are only required to detail 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, the financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

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 three 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.

54

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.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act 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, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the closing date of the Offer:

  • (i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 being the most recent annual financial report of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus;

  • (ii) the half year financial report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2021 lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report mentioned in paragraph (i) and before the issue of this Prospectus; and

  • (iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of this Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the

registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
