The Company intends to dispose of this business, , subject to Shareholder approval, during the re-compliance process ( Proposed Divestment ).

The Company has entered into a binding agreement pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued capital of CFM from the Vendors ( Proposed Acquisition ).

The Proposed Acquisition is a transformational acquisition by the Company as it moves to become a diversified explorer with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and development. CFM is the 100% owner of a tenement package located in Canada consisting of the Fairfield and Fintry Projects ( Projects ) which are prospective for copper and rare earth elements.

In the event that the conditions of the Public Offer are not satisfied or the Company does not receive conditional approval for re-quotation of its Shares on the Official List, on terms which the Board reasonably considers are capable of satisfaction, then the Company will not proceed with the Public Offer, the Ancillary Offers, or the Proposed Acquisition and will repay all Application Monies (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

1. Chairman’s Letter

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to increase your existing shareholding or to welcome you as a shareholder of the Company.

As announced on 12 March 2024, the Company is proposing to undertake a transformational acquisition to become a diversified explorer with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and development. The Company has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the entire issued capital of Canada Future Metals Pty Ltd, owner of the Fairfield and Fintry Projects in Canada, which will be accompanied by the proposed addition of a new board member, experienced geologist Bill Oliver to compliment the projects and a significant capital raising of $2.7 million (before costs) via an offer of Shares under this Prospectus at $0.20 per Share to provide funds to support exploration of the Projects. The Company also intends to change its name to ‘FMR Resources Ltd’ and its ASX code to ‘FMR’ to better reflect its new direction.

The Fairfield Project comprises a 70.5 sq km area with over 15km strike potential including several copper occurrences immediately adjacent to the Dorchester sediment-hosted copper resource in the highly prospective Appalachian Gold-Copper Belt of New Brunswick, Canada. The Fintry Project comprises a 12 sq km area of the Nagagami River alkalic complex in Ontario, Canada with many similarities to the nearby Hecla-Kilmer REE-niobium discovery.

The proposals require the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and are subject to the Company obtaining various shareholder approvals, which are being sought at the General Meeting convened for 23 May 2024. If the required shareholder approvals are not obtained, this Prospectus will be withdrawn and the proposal will not be pursued. The Board considers that the Proposed Acquisition and associated activities present a significant opportunity for the Company to procure an attractive portfolio of copper and rare earth element projects and transition to become a battery and critical minerals explorer.

Given the proposed new direction for the Company, the existing Applyflow business, which operates as a global provider of HR technology products, is proposed to be divested via a management buy-out to an entity controlled by current Applyflow business CEO, Richard Swanton. This divestment is also subject to shareholder approval to be sought at the same General Meeting.

This Prospectus sets out further details in relation to the Proposed Acquisition (section 4), the Fairfield and Fintry Projects in Canada (section 6), the offers in this Prospectus and the use of funds raised (section 5.7) and the proposed divestment of the Company’s existing Applyflow business (section 6.8). This Prospectus is issued for the purposes of the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

An investment in the Company is considered highly speculative and is subject to a number of risks, which are outlined in more detail in section 8. Please read and consider this Prospectus carefully and in its entirety. If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this Prospectus, you should consult your stockbroker, lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I look forward to you joining us in what we believe will be an exciting future for the Company.

Yours sincerely

Steven Papadopoulos Non-Executive Chairman

Consolidation basis.
What is the
Proposed
Acquisition
The Company has entered into a binding agreement
pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to
acquire the entire issued capital of CFM from the Vendors.
The Proposed Acquisition is a transformational acquisition
by the Company as it moves to become a diversified explorer
with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and
development. CFM is the 100% owner of a tenement
package located in Canada consisting of the Projects which
are prospective for copper and rare earth elements.
The Proposed Acquisition will result in a material change in
the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and
requires the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2.
Section
4.1
What are the
Projects?
Fairfield Project
The Fairfield Copper Project is located in the highly
prospective Appalachian Gold-Copper Belt which is
renowned as a well-endowed copper-gold province with
known deposits including the Gaspe Copper Deposit (historic
production of 141Mt at 0.9% Cu) and also the recent
acquisition of the Green Bay Copper Deposit by Firefly
Metals (39.2Mt at 1.8% Cu, 0.3 g/t Au) as well as several
gold deposits.
The Fairfield Project is considered highly prospective for
copper deposits since it is strategically located directly along
strike (within 1km) from the Dorchester Sediment-Hosted
Copper deposit that was described by Gulf Minerals as an
average 6.1 metre thick zone dipping to depth 335 metres
and a strike length of 1,067 m and an average grade of just
under 1% Cu and has recorded production of 2,000 tonnes
at 3.7% Cu.
The property claims comprise over 15 km of prospective
strike secured and 70.5 sq km ground staked over
prospective areas represented by several known mineral
occurrences, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies
identified by previous operators that are underexplored by
modern techniques. The area is renowned for outcropping
copper mineralisation identified at surface and in drilling by
previous explorers.
Fintry Project
The Fintry REE Project comprises 12 sq km of claims located
on the southern zone of the Nagagami River alkalic complex
in Ontario,Canada. Theproject is strategicallylocated in the
Section
6.2

Page 5

Topic Summary Details
Archean and Proterozoic Superior Province terrain in Ontario
which is renowned to contain structural corridors of alkalic
and carbonatite intrusive magmatism with several known
deposits and occurrences of REE and niobium. Very close
north of Fintry, wide zones of REE and niobium
mineralisation have been intersected including 61m at 0.55
% TREO at Nagagami.
The Fintry Complex has a similar scale and syenite geology to
Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex located in the same district
only 190 km to the east that has reported mineralisation of
461m at 0.85 % TREO, 0.13 % Nb2O5including 39m at 2.0 %
TREO. The Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex provides evidence
that fertile intrusions with economic grade and widths of
mineralisation can have a small footprint.
What are the
Company’s
objectives
following
Completion of
the Offer?
Following completion of the Public Offer and the Proposed
Acquisition, the Company will initially be focused on
exploration and development activities at the Projects. The
Company’s main objectives on completion of the
Transaction are to:

focus on mineral exploration of resources
opportunities that have the potential to deliver
value and growth for Shareholders through
exploration and development activities;

systematically explore the Projects and conduct
scoping studies and other economic evaluation
studies on the Projects, if success and when
appropriate; and

pursue a growth strategy by evaluating and
acquiring other resources opportunities that have a
strategic fit for the Company and have the potential
to deliver growth for Shareholders.
The key dependencies influencing the viability of the
Proposed Acquisition are:

the Company’s ability to re-comply with Chapters 1
and 2 of the Listing Rules to enable re-instatement
of the Company’s Securities on the ASX;

completion of the Proposed Acquisition;

the Company’s ability to raise the full amount under
the Public Offer;

exploration success; and

the range of risks outlined in Section 8.

3.3 Summary of key risks

Topic Summary Details
What are the
key
investment
risks?
The business, assets and operations of the Company are
subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to
influence the operating and financial performance of the
Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value
of an investment in the Securities.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning
its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some
of these risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the
extent to which the Board can effectively manage them is
limited.
An investment in the Company should be considered highly
speculative.
Section 8

Page 7

Topic Summary Details
Re-quotation
of Shares on
ASX
The Proposed Acquisition constitutes a significant change in
the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the
Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the
Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official
List.
There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet
the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on
the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will likely remain in
suspension and not be able to be traded on the ASX until
such time as those requirements can be met, if at all.
Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares
should the Company be suspended until such time as it does
re- comply with the Listing Rules.
Section
8.1(a)
Dilution risk The Company currently has 5,915,226 Shares on issue (on a
post-Consolidation basis). On completion of the Transaction:

the existing Shareholders will retain approximately
25.26% of the Company’s issued share capital on an
undiluted basis and 21.48% of the Company’s issued
share capital on a fully diluted basis;

the Shares to be issued under the Acquisition
Agreement will represent 17.08% of the Company’s
issued share capital on an undiluted basis and
14.52% of the Company’s issued share capital on a
fully diluted basis; and

the investors under the Public Offer will hold
approximately 57.65% of the Company’s issued
share capital on an undiluted basis and 49.02% of
the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted
basis.
On completion of the Transaction, the number of Shares in
the Company will increase from 5,915,226 to 23,415,226 (on
a post-Consolidation basis). This means that on
reinstatement to official quotation, the number of Shares on
issue will be increased by approximately 395.85% of the
number on issue as at the date of this Prospectus.
Section
8.1(b)
Exploration,
development
and
operational
risks
No reported exploration target, mineral resource or reserve
has been defined on any of the Project areas.
Investors are cautioned that the tenements being in
proximity to other occurrences of mineralisation is no
guarantee that the projects will be prospective for an
economic reserve. Whilst the Company intends to undertake
exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no
assurances can be given that the exploration will result in
the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is
Section
8.1(c)

Page 8

Topic Summary Details
identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be
economically extracted.
Mineral exploration and development involve substantial
expenses related to locating and establishing mineral
reserves, developing metallurgical processes, and
constructing mining and processing facilities at a particular
site. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed, the
quantity of mineral resources and grades must be
considered as estimates only, and are expressions of
judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis
of drilling results and industry best practices.
Tenement title
and grant risk
The Company's operations are subject to receiving and
maintaining licences and permits from appropriate
governmental authorities. There is no assurance that delays
will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary
grants or renewals of licences/permits for the proposed
operations, additional licences/permits for any possible
future changes to operations, or additional permits
associated with new legislation. Prior to any development on
any of its properties, subsidiaries of the Company must
receive licences/permits from appropriate governmental
authorities. There is no certainty that the Company will hold
all licences/permits necessary to develop or continue
operating at any particular property.
Furthermore, while the Company has investigated its title to
the claims and believes the claims are in good standing,
there can be no assurance that the Company’s rights with
respect to the claims will not be challenged or impugned by
third parties, or that the claims will be subject to
unregistered encumbrances or interests of third parties.
Section
8.1(d)
Landowner
and access risk
Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to
succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and
access to the surface rights.
Mineral rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases
the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining
licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary
knowledge or information is critical and the ability to
negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other
parties is often essential. The Company may not be
successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to
conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the
mineral claims that it already owns.
Access to land for exploration and evaluation purposes can
be obtained by private access and compensation agreement
with the landowner; purchase of surface rights;or through
Section
8.1(e)

Page 9

Topic Summary Details
judicial rulings. However, access rights to the licences can be
affected by many factors including:

regional restrictions on mineral exploration as a
result of land use agreements with local
communities and First Nations, or infrastructure
works such as hydroelectric installations;

surface title land ownership negotiations, which are
required before ground disturbing exploration
activities can commence within the jurisdiction
where the Company operates;

permitting for exploration activities, which are
required in order to undertake most exploration and
exploitation activities within the jurisdictions where
the Company operates; and

natural occurrences including inclement weather,
volcanic eruptions, lahars and earthquakes. All of
these issues have the potential to delay, curtail and
preclude the Company's operations.
Whilst the Company will have the potential to influence
some of these access issues, and retain staff to manage
those instances where negotiations are required to gain
access, is not possible for the Company to predict the extent
to which the abovementioned risks and uncertainties may
adversely impact on the Company's operations.
The Company has sufficient access to the Projects to
undertake its proposed exploration program and satisfy the
commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b).
Other
Company
specific risks
In addition to the above risks, the Company is subject to
additional risks customarily associated with exploration
companies, including risks relating to:

First Nations risk;

environmental and climate risks;

no defined resources;

sovereign risks;

resource and reserve estimates;

results of studies;

metallurgy;

commodity prices and currency exchange;

future capital needs;

loss of key personnel;
Section 8

Topic Summary Details

agents and contractors;

new projects and acquisitions;

government and regulatory compliance; and

downturn in the resources industry.
These risks, together with other general business and
investment risks (many of which are largely beyond the
control of the Company) are set out in more detail in Section
8.

4. Transaction Overview

4.1 The Proposed Acquisition

As announced by the Company on 12 March 2024, the Company has entered into a binding share sale agreement ( Acquisition Agreement ) pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued capital CFM from the Vendors ( Proposed Acquisition ).

The Proposed Acquisition is a transformational acquisition by the Company as it moves to become a diversified explorer with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and development. CFM is the 100% owner of a tenement package located in Canada consisting of the Projects which are prospective for copper and rare earth elements. Further details on the Projects is set out in Section 6.2 below.

Under the new direction of the Company on completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Company will focus on systematically exploring resources opportunities at the Projects that have the potential to deliver value for Shareholders while pursuing a broader growth strategy of evaluating and acquiring other resource opportunities that have a strategic fit for the Company and offer potential to deliver further value for Shareholders.

4.2 Acquisition Agreement

The key terms of the Acquisition Agreement are set out below:

Consideration

In consideration for the Proposed Acquisition, the Company has agreed to issue the Vendors the following Securities:

  • 4,000,000 Shares;

  • 1,800,000 New Options (each exercisable at $0.25 and expiring on 31 December 2026); and

  • 1,000,000 Performance Shares,

(collectively referred to as the Vendor Securities ).

The Performance Shares will convert on a 1:1 basis into Shares on the Company announcing:

  • an intersection of at least 10m from drilling, horizontal trenching or channel sampling at no less than 1% Cu or equivalent (where equivalent metals are Au, Pb, Zn, Ag, Co, Ba, V, F, Sr) at the Fairfield Project; or

  • an intersection of at least 10m from drilling, horizontal trenching or channel sampling at no less than 1% TREO or equivalent (where equivalent metals are Nb, P, Cu, Au, Pt, Pd) at the Fintry Project,

by 31 December 2025 as verified by an independent competent person.

The Vendor Securities are to be issued to the Vendors at completion of the Proposed Acquisition in proportion to each Vendor’s shareholding in CFM. The Vendor Securities are subject to the mandatory escrow provisions under the Listing Rules and the Vendors will enter into restriction agreements as required by ASX (see Section 5.11 for further details).

The Vendor Securities comprise Shares, Options and Performance Shares to provide a combination of upfront and deferred consideration to the Vendors. The performance milestones of the Performance Shares are targeted at confirming the prospectivity of the

Page 16

Fairfield or Fintry Projects through the discovery of commercially significant mineralisation and balancing the risks associated with exploration activities on the projects which, while considered prospective for the target mineralisation, are at an early stage of exploration. The number of Performance Shares to be issued was agreed to by the Board after conducting arm’s length negotiations with the Vendors and is considered appropriate and equitable relative to recent transactions of a similar nature and the total consideration payable. The Performance Shares represent 4.27% of the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted basis and 3.63% of the Company’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis.

Condition Precedent

Completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to and conditional on the following conditions precedent ( Conditions Precedent ) being satisfied or waived:

  • the Company obtaining all necessary Shareholder approvals as are required (including under the Constitution, the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act) to give effect to the Proposed Acquisition including the Consolidation, the Public Offer and the change of name of the Company to “FMR Resources Ltd”;

  • the Company receiving applications and subscription funds for the full amount of the Public Offer;

  • the Company conducting technical, financial and legal due diligence on CFM and its assets and being satisfied with the results of such due diligence in its absolute discretion;

  • following Shareholder approval of the Consolidation, the Company undertaking the Consolidation;

  • the Company receiving a conditional listing letter from the ASX for the Re-Compliance, on terms which are capable of satisfaction;

  • disposal by the Company of the existing Applyflow business on terms reasonably acceptable to the Vendors; and

  • the Vendors conducting financial and legal due diligence on the Company and its assets and being satisfied with the results of such due diligence in its absolute discretion.

4.3 Overview of CFM

  • satisfy the working capital requirements for the Company’s future expanded business, following completion of the Proposed Acquisition; and

The Lead Manager will be responsible for paying fees to other participating brokers. Refer to Section 9.3 for further details in relation to the Lead Manager Mandate.

5.6 ASX quotation and reinstatement to official quotation

ASX has indicated to the Company that the change in the scale of the Company’s activities because of the Proposed Divestment and the Proposed Acquisition, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities. In accordance with the Listing Rules, the change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities requires Shareholder approval for such transactions which will be sought at the General Meeting. The Listing Rules also require the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

The Company’s shares have been suspended from trading since 6 November 2023 and will remain suspended and not be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and is re-admitted to the Official List. If the Proposed Acquisition does not proceed, the Company may not complete the ReCompliance.

Some of the key requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules are:

  • the Company must satisfy the shareholder spread requirements relating to the minimum number of Shareholders and the minimum value of the shareholdings of those Shareholders; and

  • the Company must satisfy the “assets test” as set out in Listing Rule 1.3.

The Company expects that the conduct of the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.

The Company will apply to ASX no later than 7 days from the date of this Prospectus to have the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus quoted on the ASX.

If approval for quotation of the Shares is not granted within 3 months of the date of this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be refunded to applicants in full without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.

Neither ASX nor ASIC take responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant quotation of the Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus is not to be taken in any way as an indication by ASX as to the merits of the Company or the Shares.

5.7 Use of funds

The Company intends to apply funds raised from its Public Offer, together with existing cash reserves, over the two years following its re-admission as follows:

Funds available Amount ($)
Existing cash reserves1 $1,702,676
Funds raised from public offer $2,700,000
Total available funds $4,402,676
Capital raising and re-compliance costs $343,400
Exploration expenditure $2,102,000
General and administrative costs $920,000
Working capital $1,037,276
Total $4,402,676
Notes:
1. Cash of $2,428,368 as at 31 December 2023 less estimated net cash outflows due to the
operation and disposal of the wholly owned subsidiary that operates the Applyflow cloud-
based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform business until estimated re-compliance date and
corporate and administration costs of parent company until estimated re-compliance date.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including trial success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

Although the Company’s immediate focus will be on the Projects, as with most exploration companies, it will pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector over time which complement its business. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct pegging of tenements or project acquisitions, joint ventures, farmins, acquisition of tenements/permits and/or direct equity participation.

The Board considers that, following completion of the Public Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives as set out in this Prospectus. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 8.

The use of further equity funding may be considered by the Company where it is appropriate to accelerate a specific project or strategy.

5.9 Effect on Control

Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act states that a person must not acquire a relevant interest in the issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the

Page 24

person and because of the transaction, that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the Company increases:

  • (a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or

  • (b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

Section 608(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities if they:

  • (a) are the holder of the securities;

  • (b) have the power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or

  • (c) have power to dispose of, or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities.

It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise one of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power. The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person’s voting power in a Company involves determining the voting shares in the Company in which the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest.

In determining who is an associate for the purposes of calculating a person’s voting power, section 12(2) of the Corporations Act provides that:

  • (a) the following entities are associates of a body corporate:

  • (i) another body corporate which it controls;

  • (ii) another body corporate which controls it; and

  • (iii) and another body corporate that is controlled by the same entity which controls it;

  • (b) a person will be an associate of another person if they have, or propose to enter into, a relevant agreement for the purpose of controlling or influencing:

  • (i) the composition of a body’s board; or

  • (ii) the conduct of a body’s affairs; and

  • (c) a person will be an associate of another person if they are acting, or propose to act, in concert in relation to the affairs of a body.

No party will acquire control of or voting power of 20% or more in the Company as a result of the Proposed Acquisition, the Public Offer or any other transaction being completed as part of the Re-Compliance.

5.10 Substantial shareholders

Details of the anticipated substantial Shareholders following completion of the Offers are set out in Section 10.4.

5.11 Restricted securities

None of the Shares on issue are currently restricted securities or subject to escrow restrictions imposed by ASX.

Subject to the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules, certain Securities will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in

Page 25

escrow for up to 24 months from the date of re-quotation of the Company’s shares on ASX. During the period in which these Securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid and this may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of their Shares in a timely manner.

It is anticipated that:

  • 3,500,000 Shares, 1,800,000 New Options and 1,000,000 Performance Shares (and any Shares issued on exercise or conversion of such New Options or Performance Shares during the escrow period) or Performance shares of those Options during the escrow period) issued to the Vendors will be subject to ASX escrow for a period of 12 to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation; and

  • 900,000 New Options (and any Shares issued on conversion of such New Options during the escrow period) issued to current and proposed Directors will be subject to ASX escrow for a period of 24 months from the date of Official Quotation.

It is not anticipated that any other Securities on issue on completion of the Transaction will be subject to escrow.

The restricted securities listed above are subject to change depending on the escrow periods imposed by ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules. Prior to the Company’s Shares being re-admitted to the Official List of ASX, the Company will enter into escrow agreements with the holders of the restricted securities in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, and the Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Securities required to be held in escrow.

5.12 Free float

On completion of the Public Offer the Company expects that it will have a free float (within the meaning of the Listing Rules) of approximately 82.92% to satisfy the ASX condition relating to free float for the re-admission of the Company to the Official List of the ASX.

The free float comprises those Shares which are:

  • not subject to escrow restrictions (see Section 5.11 for details); and

  • not held by persons who are related parties, or associates of related parties, of the Company.

5.14 Application monies to be held on trust

Until Securities are issued under this Prospectus, the Application Monies for Shares under the Public Offer will be held by the Company on trust on behalf of Applications in a separate bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus. If the Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are not admitted to quotation within three months after the date of this Prospectus, no Securities will be issued and Application Monies will be refunded in full without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.

5.15 Allocation policy

The Company retains an absolute discretion to allocate Shares under the Public Offer and reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to allot an applicant a lesser number of Shares

Page 27

than the number for which the applicant applies or to reject an Application Form. If the number of Shares allotted is fewer than the number applied for, surplus application money will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable.

No applicant under the Public Offer has any assurance of being allocated all or any Shares applied for. The allocation of Shares under the Public Offer will be determined by the Company having regard to the following factors:

  • a) the number of Shares applied for;

  • b) the overall level of demand for the Public Offer;

  • c) the desire for spread of investors, including institutional investors; and

  • d) the desire of informed and active market for trading Shares following completion of the Public Offer.

The Company’s decision on the number of Shares to be allocated to an Applicant is final. The Company reserves the right to decline any Application in whole or in part, without giving any reason.

Applicants whose Applications are not accepted, or who are allocated a lesser number of Shares than the amount applied for, will receive a refund of all or part of their Application Monies, as applicable. Interest will not be paid on any monies refunded. The Company will not be liable to any person not allocated Shares or not allocated the full amount of Shares applied for.

5.16 Issue of Securities

Applicants whose Applications are accepted in full will receive the whole number of Shares calculated by dividing the Application Monies by the price of the Public Offer. Where the price of the Public Offer does not divide evenly into the Application Monies, the number of Shares to be allocated will be rounded down. No refunds pursuant solely to rounding will be provided.

Interest will not be paid on any monies refunded and any interest earned on Application Monies pending the allocation or refund will be retained by the Company.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the amount of your payment (including a BPAY® payment). If the amount of your payment for Application Monies is less than the amount specified on the Application Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower dollar amount of Shares or your Application may be rejected.

Subject to the Offer Conditions being satisfied (refer to Section 5.3), the issue of Shares will occur as soon as practicable after the Public Offer closes. Holding statements will be dispatched as required by ASX. It is the responsibility of applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares.

Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statement will do so at their own risk.

5.17 Brokerage

No brokerage, commission or stamp duty will be payable by Applicants on the issue of Securities under the Offers. Refer to Section 5.5 for a summary of the capital raising fees payable under the Public Offer.

5.20 Applicants outside Australia

This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. No action has been taken to register this Prospectus or qualify the Securities or otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia.

It is the responsibility of Applicants outside Australia to obtain all necessary approvals for the issue of the Securities pursuant to this Prospectus. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained.

5.21 CHESS and issuer sponsorship

The Company will apply to participate in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ), for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.

All trading on the ASX in the Shares will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ( ASXS ), a wholly owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together will make up the Company’s principal register of Securities.

Under CHESS, the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their holder identification number or security holder reference number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Ownership of Securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their security holdings changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however a charge may be made for additional statements.

6. Company and Projects Overview

6.1 Background

The Company is an Australian public company and was incorporated on 11 December 2003 and admitted to the Official List on 30 November 2010 as Orrex Resources Limited (ASX: ORX). The Company was reinstated to Official Quotation on 7 July 2016 as Nvoi Ltd (ASX:NVO) and again on 17 November 2020 under its current name.

The Company’s Securities were suspended from Official Quotation on 6 November 2023 at the request of the Company and have remained suspended since that date.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company operates the Applyflow business, which is a global provider of human resources (or HR) technology products that support and empower recruitment agencies and hiring teams. The Company’s principal activities consist of sales and ongoing development of its cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform focusing on recruitment management with enhanced offerings to the recruitment market. The Company has various wholly owned subsidiaries in Australia, UK and USA through which it operates its Applyflow business.

As announced on 19 April 2024, the Company has entered into the Sale Agreement for a proposed management lead buy-out of the Applyflow business during the Re-Compliance Process, subject to Shareholder approval at the General Meeting. See Section 6.8 for further details on the Proposed Divestment and Section 9.1 for the terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement.

The Company has entered into the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued capital of CFM from the Vendors.

The Proposed Acquisition is a transformational acquisition by the Company as it moves to become a diversified explorer with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and development. CFM is the 100% owner of a tenement package located in Canada consisting of the Fairfield and Fintry Projects (collectively referred to as the Projects ) which are prospective for copper and rare earth elements. Further details on the Projects are set out in Section 6.2 below.

Figure 1. Location of the Fairfield Copper and Fintry REE Projects (refer to page 7 of the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14 for references of figures included)

a) Fairfield Project

Project Overview

The Fairfield Copper Project is located in the highly prospective Appalachian GoldCopper Belt (Figure 1) which is renowned as a well endowed copper-gold province with known deposits including the Gaspe Copper Deposit (historic production of 141Mt at 0.9% Cu) and also the recent acquisition of the Green Bay Copper Deposit by Firefly Metals (39.2Mt at 1.8% Cu, 0.3 g/t Au) as well as several gold deposits (Figure 1 and 2).

The Fairfield Project is considered highly prospective for copper deposits since it is strategically located directly along strike (within 1km) from the Dorchester SedimentHosted Copper deposit that was described by Gulf Minerals as an average 6.1 metre thick zone dipping to depth 335 metres and a strike length of 1,067 m and an average grade of just under 1% Cu and has recorded production of 2,000 tonnes at 3.7% Cu (Figure 3).

The property claims comprise over 15 km of prospective strike secured and 70.5 sq km ground staked over prospective areas represented by several known mineral occurrences, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies identified by previous operators that are underexplored by modern techniques. The area is renowned for outcropping copper mineralisation identified at surface and in drilling by previous explorers as detailed below (Figure 3).

Page 36

Sediment-hosted copper deposits known to be prospective at Fairfield display similarities to several deposits around the world in a similar geological setting. The most globally renowned sediment-hosted copper deposit is the Central African Copper Belt (CACB) which is the largest district of sediment-hosted copper deposit in the world. Other examples of sediment-hosted deposits in North America are The White Pine and Copperwood Projects held by Highland Copper in Michegan, USA (combined NI 43-101-compliant resources of 301.3 Mt @ 1.1 % Cu).

Historical Exploration at Fairfield

The Fairfield area has been intermittently explored from the periods of 1964 to 1986 by various companies targeting various metals. Highlights of this work are:

  • Noranda Exploration in 1993 completed a total of 8 diamond holes for 530.7m at the Demoiselle prospect and intersected several intersections of copper mineralisation in sedimentary rocks (Figure 4). Highlight intersections include:

  • 8.1m at 0.86% Cu in DEM-93-1 including 4.5m at 1.27% Cu; and 0.3m at 10.5% Cu

  • 24.1m zone DEM-93-5 including 7.7m at 0.36% Cu, 6.4m at 0.33% Cu and 3.3m at 0.36% Cu

  • Dome Explorations Canada Limited in 1964 completed a total of 4 shallow diamond holes for 234.4m at the Tantramar prospect and intersected elevated copper and gold in sedimentary rocks (Figure 3). The highlight intersections returned:

  • 21.8m at 0.17% Cu from 3.7m in DDH-2 including 1.4m at 6.2 g/t Au

  • 58.2m at 0.14% Cu from 3.1m in DDH-3.

  • Cornerstone Capital held the Dorchester copper deposit from 2006-2007 and conducted regional rock sampling starting at the historic mine and also extending

Page 37

4km to the north. A total of 12 samples were taken from Canada Future’s claims which returned highly variable copper assays. However, Cornerstone reported the most important single sample of the field season was one collected 4.3 km north of the mine in the northern limb of the Dorchester anticline (Figure 3). This sample returned an assay of 0.38% Cu and was interpreted as possibly representing a new mineralised area. Cornerstone also identified some IP geophysical and elevated soil geochemistry anomalies that have never been followed up.

  • Diamond Drilling was competed by Boyleen Prospector in 1966 at Memramcook East. Highlight intersection was 9m at 40% BaSO4 in hole 519-3 including 1.3m at 4 g/t Ag and 0.13% Cu suggesting a relationship between the targeted copper mineralisation and massive barite zones.

  • Canadian Merril conducted exploration for strontium between 1972 and 1979 at Upper Dorchester and intersected impressive intersections of celestite-barite mineralisation and completed 8 holes for 1,335 m and returned intersections up to 15m at 25-35 % SrSO4 in hole UD-7 and 2m at 80% SrSO4 in hole UD-8.

Further information in relation to the Fairfield Project including historical exploration results is set out in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14.

Proposed Activities at Fairfield

The Company plans to build on historical exploration activities (both on the project area and by neighbouring operators including on the Dorchester deposit) and further systematically explore the project in order to progress toward drill testing. This work would include:

  • Reconnaissance field sampling and geochemical programs comprising extensive rock and other surface geochemical techniques. The first program was completed by Canada Future Metals in October 2023 and the assay results are pending;

  • An extensive airborne VTEM survey is planned to cover the core of tenure and priority areas guided by the result of geochemical sampling; and

  • A satellite multi-spectral survey over the entire tenure and surrounding areas.

b) Fintry Project

Project Overview

The Fintry REE Project comprises 12 sq km of claims located on the southern zone of the Nagagami River alkalic complex in Ontario, Canada. The project is strategically located in the Archean and Proterozoic Superior Province terrain in Ontario which is renowned to contain structural corridors of alkalic and carbonatite intrusive magmatism with several known deposits and occurrences of REE and niobium (Figures 1 & 5). Very close north of Fintry, wide zones of REE and niobium mineralisation have been intersected including 61m at 0.55 % TREO at Nagagami.

The Fintry Complex has a similar scale and syenite geology to Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex located in the same district only 190 km to the east that has reported mineralisation of 461m at 0.85 % TREO, 0.13 % Nb2O5 including 39m at 2.0 % TREO (Figure 5). The Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex provides evidence that fertile intrusions with economic grade and widths of mineralisation can have a small footprint.

Figure 5. Airborne magnetic map showing the location of the Fintry in relation to the other Alkalic intrusive hosted REE deposits in Ontario (refer to page 32 of the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14 for references of figures included)

Historical Exploration at Fintry

Fintry has never been explored specifically for REE however some drilling for nickel was completed by GTA Resources in 2013-2014 in the outer ultramafic parts of the complex. Interestingly, selected samples from ultramafics assayed with unusually highly elevated results of up to >1,000 ppm 3TREO (CeO2 + La2O3 + Y2O3) and 5.7 % P2O5 utilising a weak aqua-regia digest assay not designed for REE minerals. Importantly, no samples assayed from the central syenite host rock were ever completed from this drilling despite being the ideal host rock for REE and niobium. Interestingly, multi-element assay was conducted in the ultramafic rocks which returned unusually high rare earth and phosphate including returned 84.1m @ 565 ppm 3TREO and 3.6 % P2O5 from 25m including 1.6m at 1,006 ppm 3TREO and 5.2% P2O5 in hole CA-14-05.

Another interesting result is that petrography was completed by Draper in 2014 on drillhole 10-64 by Algoma Ore in 1961 to 1964 and identified nepheline bearing syenite and rare earth bearing mineral apatite (Figure 6). It is intriguing that Algoma identify apatite as a dominant REE-phosphate bearing mineral yet they did not complete any REE assays. It’s also worth noting that nepheline syenites documented by Algoma are extremely rare and are known to be the host rock for many REE deposit including Kvanefjeld in Greenland.

Further information in relation to the Fintry Project including historical exploration results is set out in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14.

Proposed Activities

The Company intends to build on historical exploration results to target the Fintry complex specifically for rare earth and niobium critical minerals. This work would comprise a systematic exploration approach specifically for the deposit style to progress toward drill testing. This work would include:

  • Reprocessing of historical geophysical magnetic and radiometric data;

  • A ground gravity Survey over the Fintry complex to map the various phases and map the highly prospective nepheline syenite core; and

  • at least two reconnaissance field sampling and geochemical programs comprising extensive rock and other surface geochemical techniques.

6.3 Proposed exploration and development programmes and expenditure

The above budget has been prepared by the Company as the date of this Prospectus applying historical and current costing estimation. However, as with any budget, the allocation of funds is an estimation or allocation based on current information, knowledge and intended plans and exploration programs.

The above exploration intentions are also based on the best guess of the conditions of exploration or the requirements of exploration, when limited information is available. The budgeted amounts may change depending on a number of factors, including the results of its exploration activities, the results of studies undertaken, regulatory developments market and general economic conditions, development of new opportunities, the granting of any of the Company’s tenement applications or any number of other factors (including the risk factors applicable to the Company as set out in Section 8). The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on that basis.

Further details of the Company’s intended exploration program are contained in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 14.

6.4 Dividend policy

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.

6.5 The Company’s business model

Following completion of the Public Offer and the Proposed Acquisition, the Company will initially be focused on exploration and development activities at the Projects. The Company’s main objectives on completion of the Re-Compliance are to:

Page 41

  • focus on mineral exploration of resources opportunities that have the potential to deliver value and growth for Shareholders within its projects;

  • systematically explore the Projects and conduct scoping and other economic evaluation studies on the Projects if successful and when appropriate; and

  • pursue a growth strategy by evaluating and acquiring other resource opportunities that have a strategic fit for the Company and have the potential to deliver growth for Shareholders.

6.6 Key dependencies of Company’s business model

The key dependencies influencing the viability of the Proposed Acquisition are:

  • the Company’s capacity to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules to enable re-admission to Official Quotation of the Company’s shares;

  • completion of the Proposed Acquisition;

  • the Company’s ability to raise the full amount under the Public Offer;

  • exploration success; and

  • commodity price volatility and exchange rate risk.

6.7 New strategic acquisitions

In addition to progressing the Projects, the Company intends to assess new strategic acquisitions that may come to its attention following completion of the Offers. In particular, the Company will be actively canvassing other mineral resource opportunities including those that are prospective for battery and critical minerals.

The Company may incur costs associated with due diligence or pay exclusivity fees in relation to the assessment of potential new projects which may not progress. Such costs have not been included in the use of funds for the Offer included in this Prospectus. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not aware of any new opportunities but, as detailed above, the Company intends to assess such new opportunities as they arise following completion of the Offers.

6.8 Proposed Divestment

Background

As announced by the Company on 19 April 2024, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital of Applyflow International Pty Ltd ( Applyflow International ) to an entity controlled by current Applyflow business acting CEO, Richard Swanton.

The Company acquired the Applyflow business in 2020, which operates as a global provider of HR technology products that support and empower recruitment agencies and hiring teams. Applyflow International is the operating parent entity of the Applyflow business, which operates through the following wholly owned subsidiaries in Australia, UK and USA:

  • Workconex Holdings Pty Limited;

  • Workconex Pty Limited;

  • Applyflow International Pty Ltd;

  • Applyflow Technologies Limited;

Page 42

  • JXT Global (UK) Limited;

  • Applyflow Technologies (US) Inc; and

  • Applypay Pty Ltd.

The Company’s current activities principally consist of sales and ongoing development of its Applyflow cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform focusing on recruitment management with enhanced offerings to the recruitment market.

During 2023, the Company restructured its executive management team and undertook a review to identify opportunities to optimise operations and reduce costs. There has been a strong focus on efforts to grow market share in Australia and New Zealand and enhancing customer service via transition of customers of legacy systems onto its proprietary Applyflow system. The Applyflow team also recently launched ApplyflowX to align with the evolving needs of customers.

The above initiatives have resulted in significant improvements and cost savings in the Applyflow business, however the business remains cash flow negative. As announced in the Company’s Quarterly Report dated 30 January 2024, receipts from customers were approximately $749,000 for the quarter with net cash outflows from operating activities of $175,000 for the same period.

Disposal rationale

Given the Company intends on transitioning to becoming a diversified explorer with a focus on battery and critical minerals exploration and development, the Board believes the Proposed Divestment will provide benefits for both the Company and the Applyflow business customers. Further, disposal by the Company of the Applyflow business on terms reasonably acceptable to the vendors of the Fairfield and Fintry Projects in Canada is a condition precedent to the Proposed Acquisition and, accordingly, if the Proposed Divestment does not proceed the Proposed Acquisition will not proceed.

During the past 18 months there has been significant negative sentiment to technology start-ups and such companies have generally experienced difficulties in raising new capital to continue and grow. The re-rating of the technology sector in the US in 2022 following ongoing higher interest rates, inflation rates and uncertain economic conditions, saw sector wide pressure on technology companies with significant value re-ratings, budget adjustments and operational reductions (including widespread redundancies) in response. Access to capital became more challenging, with a lack of investor interest and funds being raised at much lower valuations, or companies being faced with the inability to raise funds at all, particularly for start-ups and companies which were not yet cash flow positive. This pressure followed into the Australia technology sector, impacting significantly on valuations and the ability to raise funds.

The Company’s share price on ASX has declined from highs of $0.18 in July 2021 to $0.016 immediately prior to the suspension of trading in its shares on 6 November 2023 and its market capitalisation from approximately $14.7 million to approximately $2.37 million over the same period. Its market capitalisation immediately prior to suspension was lower than its cash backing at the time (being approximately $2.6 million), evidencing such negative market sentiment. It is noted that the net cash position of the Company immediately prior to suspension (after allowing for creditors) was approximately $820,000, which provided the Company with an indicative enterprise value of approximately $1.5 million at that time.

The Applyflow business will require further capital to achieve its growth and profitability objectives. The Board recognises the challenging environment globally to raise funds in public capital markets for technology businesses that are not yet profitable, regardless of

Page 43

the expectations of a business as to growth and future profitability. Accordingly, the Company does not believe it can raise in the public capital markets and in its current structure the amount of money necessary to continue this business as a going concern at any price. Management of the Applyflow business sees potential for the business in a private structure where costs can be substantially lower and better controlled, with capital raised from select investors who are willing to support the business for its longer term potential.

In the circumstances, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to dispose of the business and shift its focus to battery and critical metals exploration following the Proposed Acquisition.

The Company has considered and canvassed options alternate to the Proposed Divestment, however given the above current state of the Applyflow business, challenging market conditions and lack of buyer interest, the Company has not identified any other willing and able purchaser.

Proposed Divestment structure and terms

Under the Sale Agreement, an entity controlled by Richard Swanton has agreed to purchase 100% of the issued capital of Applyflow International subject to the subject of various conditions precedent.

The terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement are set out in Section 9.1.

The effective consideration to the Company under the Proposed Divestment given the above terms is approximately $1.2 million, which represents the estimated liabilities of the Applyflow business at completion being assumed by the buyer, less the estimated value of assets being transferred with the business (receivables, working capital and other asset used in the Applyflow business) under the disposal (refer to Section 9.1.for further details).

6.9 Corporate Structure

The diagram below summarises the corporate structure of the Company on completion of the Transaction:

Automic Group also provides share registry and accounting services to the Company on standard industry terms and conditions. Provision of these services is expected to continue post Re-compliance.

7.6 Corporate Governance

This summary identifies the key corporate governance policies and practices adopted by the Company’s Board. The Board is committed to ensuring continued investor confidence in the operations of the Company and in maintaining high standards of corporate governance in the performance of their duties.

The full suite of the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices is available at the Company’s website at www.applyflow.com.

Board charter

The Board has adopted a Board charter, which prescribes certain principles for the operation and structure of the Board. The charter also establishes certain principles and procedures in accordance with which the Board is required to act and allocates the functions of the Company between the Board and management of the Company.

The role of the Board

The role of the board of Directors is to provide strategic guidance to the Company (and its related bodies corporate), effective oversight of management and to provide a sound base for a culture of good corporate governance within the Company.

The Board will always retain ultimate authority over the management and staff of the Company and its related bodies corporate.

In performing its role, the Board should act, at all times:

  • (a) in recognition of its overriding responsibility to act honestly, fairly and in accordance with the law in serving the interests of the Company, its Shareholders, as well as its employees, customers and the community;

  • (b) in a manner designed to create and continue to build sustainable value for Shareholders;

  • (c) in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed upon them by the Company’s constitution and applicable law; and

  • (d) with integrity and objectivity, consistently with the ethical, professional and other standards set out in the Company’s corporate governance policies.

Page 49

Responsibilities of the Board

The responsibilities of the Board include:

  • (a) represent and serve the interests of Shareholders by overseeing and appraising the Company’s strategies, policies and performance;

  • (b) protect and optimise the Company’s performance and build sustainable value for Shareholders;

  • (c) set, review and ensure compliance with the Company’s values and governance framework; and

  • (d) ensure that Shareholders are kept informed of the Company’s performance and major developments.

Composition of the Board

The Board as at the date of this Prospectus comprises three Directors, namely Steven Papadopoulos, Ian Hobson and John Winters. On completion of the Proposed Acquisition, John Winters will resign and Bill Oliver will be appointed as a Director. The Company considers Steven Papadopoulos, Bill Oliver and Ian Hobson are independent.

The Directors consider the size and composition of the Board is appropriate given the current size, status and operations of the Company.

Each Director is bound by all of the Company’s charters, policies and codes of conduct. If the Board determines it is appropriate or necessary, they may establish additional committees (in addition to the committees of the Board which have already been established as outlined below) to assist in carrying out various responsibilities of the Board. Such additional committees will be established by a formal charter.

The responsibility for the day-to-day operation and administration of the Company lies with the Board.

The Board seeks to nominate persons for appointment to the Board who have the qualifications, experience and skills to augment the capabilities of the Board.

Independent professional advice

The Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense on any matter connected with the discharge of their responsibilities. Such advice may be sought in accordance with the procedures set out in the Board charter.

Securities trading policy

The Company has adopted a formal policy for dealing in the Company’s Shares by Directors and employees and their related entities (in accordance with Listing Rules 12.9). The share trading policy provides that Key Management personnel should:

  • (a) not deal in the Company’s shares while in possession of price sensitive, nonpublic information; and

  • (b) only trade in the Company’s shares after receiving clearance to do so from a designated clearance officer, where clearance may not be provided in defined “blackout periods”.

The share trading policy is available on the Company’s website.

Remuneration policy

The Company has adopted a remuneration policy designed to align individual and team reward and encourage executives to perform to their full capacity.

Page 50

Remuneration packages may contain any or all of the following:

  • (a) annual salary with provision to recognise the value of the individuals’ personal performance and their ability and experience;

  • (b) rewards, bonuses, commissions, special payments and other measures available to reward individuals if deemed appropriate;

  • (c) long term incentives, including participation in share, performance right and option schemes generally made in accordance with plans approved by Shareholders if deemed appropriate; and

  • (d) other benefits or forms of remuneration.

The Board will determine the appropriate level and structure of remuneration of the executive team and such consideration will occur each year. Remuneration of executives will be reviewed annually by the Board. Determination of Non-Executive Director’s fees is with regard to the long-term performance of the Company.

Diversity policy

The Company has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for new and existing diversity related initiatives and polices within the Company’s business and strategies for achieving diversity amongst its board, management and employees.

Whistleblower Policy

The Board has adopted a whistleblower policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct, including breaches of the Company’s policies and standards and all relevant legislation, can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or discriminatory treatment. The whistleblower policy sets out who the policy applies to, the types of conduct or suspected conduct the policy covers, how to make disclosures of unacceptable conduct and the protections available to whistleblowers (including protecting the confidentiality of the whistleblower, protecting the whistleblower against detriment and protecting the whistleblower from civil, criminal and administrative liability). The whistleblower policy also sets out how disclosures of unacceptable conduct will be investigated by the Company, demonstrating the Company’s commitment to dealing with disclosures thoroughly, confidentially and in a timely manner.

Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy

The Company has adopted an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy which sets out the Company’s requirements in relation to interactions with third parties in both the public and private sector, forbidding corrupt interactions with such individuals.

Continuous disclosure policy

The Company, as a listed public company, is required to disclose price sensitive information to the market as it becomes known to comply with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

The continuous disclosure policy of the Company ensures that all Shareholders and investors have equal access to the Company’s information, to the extent practicable. Price sensitive information will be disclosed by way of an announcement to ASX and placed on the Company’s website.

Page 51

Shareholder communication

The Board strives to ensure that Shareholders are provided with full and timely information to assess the performance of the Company and its Directors and to make well-informed investment decisions.

Information is communicated to Shareholders:

  • (a) through the release of information to the market via ASX;

  • (b) through the distribution of the annual report and notice of annual general meeting;

  • (c) through letters and other forms of communications directly to Shareholders; and

  • (d) by posting relevant information on the Company’s website.

Ethical standards and business conduct

The Board recognises the need for Directors and employees to observe appropriate standards of behaviour and business ethics when engaging in corporate activity. Through its code of conduct, the Board intends to maintain a reputation for integrity. The Company’s business ethics are founded on openness, honesty, fairness, integrity, mutual respect, ethical conduct and compliance with laws.

The standards set out in the code of conduct are required to be adhered to by officers and employees of the Company. The code of conduct and further details of these standards can be found on the Company’s website.

Risk management and internal compliance and control

The identification and proper management of the Company's risks are an important priority of the Board, and the Company is committed to designing and implementing systems and methods appropriate to minimise and control its risks. The Board has overall responsibility for the identification, understanding and monitoring of key strategic risks affecting the Company and overseeing the Company’s risk management framework.

ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations

Under the Listing Rules, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its annual financial report or on its website disclosing the extent to which it has followed the Recommendations during each reporting period.

Where the Company has not followed a Recommendation, it must identify the Recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following it.

The Company’s compliance with and departures from the Recommendations will also be announced prior to re-instatement.

Page 52

8. Risk Factors

An investment in the Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business. This Section identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and holders of its Securities are exposed.

Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which Securities will trade. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forwardlooking statement will eventuate.

The selection of risks contained in this Section has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of risks will not change or other risks will not emerge. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or if known, not considered material, may also have an adverse impact.

Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

8.1 Risks specific to the Company

(a) Re-quotation of shares on ASX

The Proposed Acquisition constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List for the first time.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will likely remain in suspension and not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re- comply with the Listing Rules.

(b) Dilution Risk

The Company currently has 5,915,226 Shares on issue (on a post-Consolidation basis). On completion of the Transaction:

  • (i) the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 25.26% of the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted basis and 21.48% of the Company’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis;

  • (ii) the Shares to be issued under the Acquisition Agreement will represent 17.08% of the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted basis and 14.52% of the Company’s issued share capital on a fully diluted basis; and

  • (iii) the investors under the Public Offer will hold approximately 57.65% of the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted basis and 49.02% of the Company’s issued share capital on an undiluted basis.

On completion of the Transaction, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 5,915,226 to 23,415,226 (on a post-Consolidation basis). This means that on reinstatement

Page 53

to official quotation, the number of Shares on issue will be increased by approximately 395.85% of the number on issue as at the date of this announcement (on a postConsolidation basis).

On this basis, existing Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Public Offer (and even if they do), their holdings may be considerably diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this announcement).

(c) Exploration, development and operational risks

No reported exploration target, mineral resource or reserve has been defined on any of the project areas.

Investors are cautioned that the tenements being in proximity to other occurrences of mineralisation is no guarantee that the projects will be prospective for an economic reserve. Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining a resource, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if a resource is identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted.

Mineral exploration and development involve substantial expenses related to locating and establishing mineral reserves, developing metallurgical processes, and constructing mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineral resources and grades must be considered as estimates only, and are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry best practices.

(d) Tenement title and grant risk

The Company's operations are subject to receiving and maintaining licences and permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary grants or renewals of licences/permits for the proposed operations, additional licences/permits for any possible future changes to operations, or additional permits associated with new legislation. Prior to any development on any of its properties, subsidiaries of the Company must receive licences/permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There is no certainty that the Company will hold all licences/permits necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property.

Furthermore, while the Company has investigated its title to the claims and believes the claims are in good standing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s rights with respect to the claims will not be challenged or impugned by third parties, or that the claims will be subject to unregistered encumbrances or interests of third parties.

(e) Landowner and access risk

Land access is critical for exploration and/or exploitation to succeed. It requires both access to the mineral rights and access to the surface rights.

Mineral rights may be negotiated and acquired. In all cases the acquisition of prospective exploration and mining licences is a competitive business, in which proprietary knowledge or information is critical and the ability to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with other parties is often essential. The Company may not be successful in acquiring or obtaining the necessary licences to conduct exploration or evaluation activities outside of the mineral claims that it already owns.

Access to land for exploration and evaluation purposes can be obtained by private access and compensation agreement with the landowner; purchase of surface rights; or through

Page 54

judicial rulings. However, access rights to the licences can be affected by many factors including:

  • (i) regional restrictions on mineral exploration as a result of land use agreements with local communities and First Nations, or infrastructure works such as hydroelectric installations;

  • (ii) surface title land ownership negotiations, which are required before ground disturbing exploration activities can commence within the jurisdiction where the Company operates;

  • (iii) permitting for exploration activities, which are required in order to undertake most exploration and exploitation activities within the jurisdictions where the Company operates; and

  • (iv) natural occurrences including inclement weather, volcanic eruptions, lahars and earthquakes. All of these issues have the potential to delay, curtail and preclude the Company's operations.

Whilst the Company will have the potential to influence some of these access issues, and retain staff to manage those instances where negotiations are required to gain access, is not possible for the Company to predict the extent to which the abovementioned risks and uncertainties may adversely impact on the Company's operations.

The Company has sufficient access to the projects in order to undertake its proposed exploration program and satisfy the commitments test under Listing Rule 1.3.2(b).

(f) First Nations risks

The projects may now or in the future be the subject of First Nations land claims. The legal nature of First Nations land claims is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on the Company’s material interest in projects and/or potential ownership interest in the projects in the future, cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of First Nations rights in the areas in which the projects are located, by way of negotiated settlements or judicial pronouncements, would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required to negotiate with and seek the approval of holders of First Nations interests in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Company’s mineral properties, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to establish practical working relationships with the First Nations in the area which would allow it to ultimately develop the Company’s mineral properties.

(g) Environmental and climate risks

The Company’s activities are subject to the environmental laws inherent in the mining industry and those specific to Canada. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. However, the Company may be the subject of accidents or unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.

In addition, environmental approvals may be required from relevant government or regulatory authorities before activities may be undertaken which are likely to impact the environment. Failure or delay in obtaining such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its planned activities. Further, the Company is unable to predict the impact of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including

Page 55

whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.

(h) No defined resources

The Company, at this time, does not have any JORC Code 2012 compliant mineral resources or reserves on its projects, and previous exploration over the areas covered by the Company’s projects is limited. There can be no assurance that future exploration and development activities on the Company’s projects, or any other mineral permits that may be acquired in the future, will result in the identification of an economically viable mineral deposit.

(i) Sovereign risk

The Company’s projects on completion of the Transaction will be located in Canada and will be subject to the risks associated in operating in a foreign country. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation, currency nonconvertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, labour relations as well as government control over natural resources or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company has projects that affect foreign ownership, exploration, development or activities of companies involved in exploration and production, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

(j) Resource and Reserve Estimates

Resource and other estimates of mineral occurrences are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Often these estimates were appropriate when made but may change significantly when new information becomes available. There are risks associated with such estimates, including those minerals mined may be of a different quality, tonnage or strip ratio from the estimates. Resource and revenue estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent upon interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. Adjustments to the estimates of mineral resources and/or Ore Reserves could affect the proposed development and mining plans.

(k) Results of studies

Subject to the results of exploration and testing programs to be undertaken, the Company may progressively undertake a number of studies in respect to its projects. These studies may include scoping, pre-feasibility, definitive feasibility and bankable feasibility studies.

These studies will be completed within parameters designed to determine the economic feasibility of its projects within certain limits. There can be no guarantee that any of the studies will confirm the economic viability of these projects or the results of other studies undertaken by the Company (e.g. the results of a feasibility study may materially differ to the results of a scoping study).

Even if a study confirms the economic viability of a project, there can be no guarantee that this project will be successfully brought into production as assumed or within the estimated parameters in the feasibility study (e.g. operational costs and commodity prices) once production commences. Further, the ability of the Company to complete a study may

Page 56

be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise further funds to complete the study if required.

(l) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk, such as:

  • identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;

  • developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and

  • • changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit that can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.

(m) Commodity prices and currency exchange risk

The Company’s ability to proceed with the development of its projects and benefit from any future mining operations will depend on market factors, some of which may be beyond its control.

Any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of base metals and the terms of any off-take agreements that the Company enters into. The world market for minerals is subject to many variables and may fluctuate markedly. The price of minerals varies on a daily basis and there is no reliable way to predict future prices. Mineral prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as general global economic conditions and expectations regarding inflation and interest rates. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Minerals are principally sold throughout the world in US dollars. The Company’s cost base will be payable in various currencies including Australian dollars and US dollars. As a result, any significant and/or sustained fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial position (including revenue and profitability) and performance. The Company may undertake measures, where deemed necessary by the Board to mitigate such risks.

(n) Future capital needs

Following completion of the Transaction, the Company’s business will be in the exploration stage, and the Company is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the projects are successfully developed and production commences. As such, it will require additional financing to continue its operations and fund exploration activities. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including the strength of the economy, general economic factors and its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Public Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this announcement.

In order to successfully develop the projects and for production to commence, the Company will require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Public Offer. Global financial conditions continue to be subject to volatility arising from international geopolitical developments and global economic phenomenon, as well as general financial market turbulence. Access to public financing and credit can be negatively impacted by the effect of these events on global credit markets. There can be no

Page 57

assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, or that the terms of such financing will be favourable for further exploration and development of its projects. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration or development. Further, revenues, financings and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the success, if any, of exploration programs and general market conditions for natural resources.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or the offer price under the Public Offer) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities or the registering of security interests over the Company’s assets.

Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities including resulting in projects being subject to forfeiture, and could affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may undertake additional offerings of Securities in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company’s existing Shareholders will be diluted.

(o) Loss of key personnel

The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.

It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.

(p) New projects and acquisitions

The Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies or assets that are complementary to its business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies or assets, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving mineral exploration success and retaining key staff.

(q) Government and regulatory risk

Operations by the Company may require approvals, consents or permits from government or regulatory authorities, including renewals of existing mining permits or title transfer to newly acquired mining permits, which may not be forthcoming or which may not be able to be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.

Whilst there is no reason to believe that necessary government and regulatory approvals will not be forthcoming, the Company cannot guarantee that those required approvals will be obtained. Failure to obtain any such approvals could mean the ability of the Company to prove-up, develop or operate any project or to acquire any project, may be inhibited or negated.

Page 58

(r) Downturn in the resources industry

The Company’s revenue and growth are susceptible to a downturn in the resources industry. The resources industry is influenced by many economic and political factors which are outside the control of the Company, including but not limited to confidence in the global economy and global economic growth, continued international demand and commodities prices. Any prolonged decline in commodity prices, particularly copper or rare earths, or the demand for resources may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance and financial position.

8.2 General risks

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

(a) Government Legislation and Policy Changes

Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in Canada may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation. Any material adverse changes in government policies in legislation in Australia, Canada or in any other country that the Company may acquire economic interests in may affect the viability, financial performance and profitability of the Company.

(b) Foreign Exchange Risks

International prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company will be taken into account in Australian and Canadian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined on international markets. If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of product may also expose the potential income of the Company to further exchange rate risks.

(c) General Economic Conditions

The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions may result from many factors including government policy, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war or natural disasters. A prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, including an increase in interest rates or a decrease in consumer and business demand, could be expected to have an adverse impact on the Company's operating and financial performance and financial position. The Company's future possible revenues and Share price may be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company.

(d) Securities investments

There are risks associated with any securities investments. The prices at which the Shares trade on ASX may fluctuate in response to a number of factors including:

Page 59

  • the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

  • actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;

  • variations in the Company’s financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to the Company including changes caused by changes in financial accounting standards or practices or taxation rules or practices;

  • announcements regarding litigation or other proceedings that involve the Company;

  • war or acts of terrorism or catastrophic disasters that disrupt world trade or adversely affect confidence in financial markets;

  • other general economic, industry and market conditions; and

  • other factors described in this Section.

(e) Share market risk

Global credit, commodity and investment markets can experience a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which lead to this situation are outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including the ASX). This may impact the price at which the Company’s shares trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company’s ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.

(f) Liquidity risk

There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for the Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for the Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.

(g) Active market

The price of the Company’s Securities is subject to uncertainty and there can be no assurance that an active market for the Company’s Securities will develop or continue after the Offer. The price at which Shares trade on ASX after re-listing may be higher or lower than the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus and could be subject to fluctuations in response to variations in operating performance and general operations and business risk, as well as external operating factors over which the Directors and the Company have no control, such as movements in mineral prices and exchange rates, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation and other events or factors.

There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is above or below the price that Shareholders paid.

(h) Force majeure events

Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon global, Australian or other local economies relevant to the Company’s financial performance, the operations of the Company and the price of the Company’s Shares. These events include but are not limited to terrorism, international hostilities, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters or other man-made or nature events or occurrences that can have an

Page 60

adverse effect on the Company and its ability to conduct business. The Company has limited ability to insure against some of these risks.

(i) Litigation

The Company is exposed to the risk of actual or threatened litigation or legal disputes in the form of contractual claims, intellectual property claims, personal injury claims, mining title related disputes, employee claims and other litigation and disputes. If any claim was successfully pursued it may adversely impact the financial performance, financial position and share price of the Company.

(j) Taxation risk

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences for investors, which will vary depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent professional taxation and financial advice about the consequences of acquiring and disposing of Securities from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

Page 61

9. Material Contracts

9.1 Sale Agreement

On 19 April 2024, the Company entered into a binding share sale agreement ( Sale Agreement ) with Swanton pursuant to which Swanton has agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell, 100% of the Company’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Applyflow International Pty Ltd ( Applyflow International ) on the below terms and conditions ( Proposed Divestment ).

Swanton is an entity controlled by current acting Chief Executive Officer of the Applyflow business, Richard Swanton. As a consequence of the Proposed Divestment and the Transaction, Mr Swanton will resign from his employment with the Company.

Applyflow International is the operating parent entity of the Applyflow business operating through subsidiaries in Australia, UK and the USA as detailed in Section 6.8. Applyflow International and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereafter as the Sale Group .

The material terms of the Sale Agreement are as follows:

  • (a) The parties to the Sale Agreement are as follows:

  • (i) Buyer: Swanton Family Pty Ltd (ACN 613 143 221) ;

  • (ii) Seller: the Company; and

  • (iii) Richard Swanton: Richard Swanton is the current acting Chief Executive Officer of the Applyflow business and is associated with the Buyer.

  • (b) Swanton has agreed to buy, and the Company has agreed to sell, the Company’s interest in Applyflow International through the purchase of the entire issued share capital of Applyflow International ( Sale Shares ).

  • (c) The purchase price for the Sale Shares is a nominal sum of $1.00. However, all liabilities of the Applyflow business at completion of the Proposed Divestment will be assumed by the buyer (estimated to be $1,698,823, inclusive of the estimate accrued employee entitlements of Applyflow business employees including Mr Swanton until the estimated Proposed Divestment completion date). The buyer will retain all assets of the Applyflow business (including receivables but excluding cash) at completion, including the benefit of the lease of the premises bond, computer equipment and other assets used in the business (estimated value at completion of $158,000). The effective consideration to the Company under the Proposed Divestment is approximately $1.2 million, which represents the estimated liabilities of the Applyflow business at completion being assumed by the buyer, less the estimated value of assets being transferred with the business (receivables, working capital and other asset used in the Applyflow business) under the disposal.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company 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 and the Listing Rules.

The Directors may decline to register a transfer of Shares (other than a proper transfer in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules) where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer, the Company must, within 5 Business Days after the transfer is delivered to the Company, give the party lodging the transfer written notice of the refusal and the reason for the refusal.

Subject to the rights of any preference shares and the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the dividend as declared 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.

(i) Winding-up

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to a class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company, any surplus must be divided among the Shareholders in the proportions which the amount paid (including amounts credited) on the shares of a Shareholders is of the total amounts paid and payable (including amounts credited) on the shares of all Shareholders.

Dear Directors,

Independent Limited Assurance Report

1 Introduction

  • 1.1 Stantons Corporate Finance Pty Ltd (“ Stantons ”) was engaged by Applyflow Limited (“ Applyflow ” or the “ Company ” ) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report ( “ Report ” ) in relation to certain financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”). The Report will be included in a Prospectus expected to be distributed in or around May 2024 (the “ Prospectus ” ).

  • 1.2 Applyflow is an Australian technology company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) . The Company currently operates the Applyflow business, which is a global provider of HR technology products that support recruitment agencies and hiring teams via a cloud-based software-as-a-service platform. On 6 November 2023, the Company’s securities were suspended from trading on ASX pursuant to Listing Rule 17.2, pending the announcement of a transaction. The Company’s shares will remain suspended from trading until the Company satisfies the requirements of Chapter 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • 1.3 The Company announced on 12 March 2024 that it had entered into a binding share sale agreement (the “ Agreement ”) to acquire a 100% interest in the issued capital of Canada Future Metals Pty Ltd (“ Canada Future Metals ”) (the “ Transaction ”) . Canada Future Metals is a West Australian company that holds a portfolio of exploration tenements comprising the Fairfield and Fintry projects in Canada, which are prospective for copper and rare earth elements.

  • 1.4 Conditions precedent to the Agreement include the Company divesting the Applyflow business (the “ Divestment ”), and the Company completing a 25 for 1 consolidation of its outstanding capital (the “ Consolidation ”).

  • 1.5 The Company announced on 19 April 2024 that it had entered into an agreement to complete the Divestment via a proposed management buyout, subject to obtaining shareholder approval. The effective consideration for the Divestment is approximately $1.2 million. Which represents a nominal purchase price ($1) and estimated liabilities of the Applyflow business at completion to be assumed by the buyer ($1.7m) less the value of cash and non-cash assets to be transferred with the Applyflow business at completion ($0.5m) (refer to Appendix 9, Note 1).

  • 1.6 The consideration proposed to be issued to the Canada Future Metals vendors by Applyflow comprises (all shown on a post-Consolidation basis):

  • 4,000,000 ordinary shares;

  • 1,800,000 options, each exercisable into 1 ordinary share at $0.25 on or before 31 December 2026; and

  • 1.7 The Prospectus will relate to a public offer (“ Public Offer ”) of Applyflow, which is a component of the re-compliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. The Public Offer will seek to raise $2,700,000 (before costs) via the issue of 13,500,000 ordinary shares at $0.20 per share (on a post-Consolidation basis).

  • 1.8 The Company also intends to issue 900,000 new options to current and proposed directors, each exercisable into 1 ordinary share at $0.25 on or before 31 December 2026 (on a postConsolidation basis).

  • 1.9 This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumptions of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information (“ Financial Information ”) to which it relates for any purpose other than for which it was prepared.

  • 1.10 Stantons holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS Licence Number 448697), and our Financial Services Guide (“ FSG ”) has been included in this Report in the event that you are a retail investor. Our FSG provides you with information on how to contact us, our services, remuneration, associations and relationships.

2 Scope

  • 2.1 Applyflow have requested Stantons perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the Financial Information described below and disclosed in the appendices to this Report.

  • 2.2 The Financial Information is presented in the appendices to this Report in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

  • 2.3 Stantons was not instructed to consider the prospects of Applyflow, the securities on offer and related pricing issues, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder in Applyflow and accordingly, has not done so nor purports to do so.

Historical Financial Information

  • 2.4 Stantons was instructed to review historical financial information (the “ Historical Financial Information ”) of Applyflow and Canada Future Metals, comprising:

  • the audited historical Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows of Applyflow for the financial years to 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 and reviewed statements for the half year period to 31 December 2023; and

  • the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of Applyflow as at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 and reviewed as at 31 December 2023.

  • the audited Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows of Canada Future Metals for the period from incorporation to 31 December 2023; and

  • the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of Canada Future Metals as at 31 December 2023.

  • 2.5 The Historical Financial Information of Applyflow was prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and Applyflow ’s adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information was extracted from the financial reports of Applyflow for the financial years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023, which were audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, and the interim report for the half year ended 31 December 2023, which was reviewed.

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • 2.6 The financial reports of Applyflow contain unmodified audit opinions for the financial years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 and an unmodified review opinion for the half year ended 31 December 2023.

  • 2.7 The Historical Financial Information of Canada Future Metals was prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and Canada Future Metals ’ adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information was extracted from the financial report of Canada Future Metals from incorporation to 31 December 2023, which were audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

  • 2.8 The financial report of Canada Future Metals from incorporation to 31 December 2023 contained an unmodified audit opinion. The audit opinion contained a material uncertainty relating to going concern, on the basis that the Canada Future Metals incurred a net loss for the period. The ability of Canada Future Metals to continue as a going concern is dependent upon completing its sale to Applyflow or successfully exploiting its mineral assets.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

  • 2.9 Stantons was instructed to review pro forma historical financial information (the “ Pro Forma Financial Information ”) of Applyflow, comprising:

  • the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023 adjusted for transactions associated with the Transaction, Public Offer, Divestment and other subsequent events.

  • 2.10 The Pro Forma Financial Information was derived from the Historical Financial Information of Applyflow, after adjusting for the effects of the pro forma adjustments described in Appendix 9 to this Report. The Pro Forma Financial Information has been subject to review in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 “ Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information ” and the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2405 “ Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report. ”

  • 2.11 The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Appendix 9 to this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position.

  • 2.12 The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Appendix 9 to this Report on Applyflow ’ s financial position as at 31 December 2023.

  • 2.13 The Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Financial Information are presented on a consolidated basis.

3 Directors’ Responsibility

  • 3.1 The directors of Applyflow are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Information to be free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

4 Our Responsibility

  • 4.1 Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Financial Information. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2405 “ Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report ” and the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 “ Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information ”.

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • 4.2 Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

  • 4.3 Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

5 Conclusion

Historical Financial Information

  • 5.1 Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of Applyflow, comprising:

  • the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for the period from 6 July 2021 to 30 June 2022, the financial year to 30 June 2023 and half year to 31 December 2023; and

  • the consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2022, 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2023;

of Applyflow is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation.

  • 5.2 To the best of our knowledge and information provided by the Company, there have been no other material items, transactions or events involving Applyflow subsequent to 31 December 2023 that have come to our attention during the course of our review which would cause the Historical Financial Information presented in the Appendices to this Report to be misleading.

  • 5.3 Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information of Canada Future Metals, comprising:

  • the audited consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows for the period from incorporation to 31 December 2023; and

  • the audited consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023;

  • 5.4 To the best of our knowledge and information provided by the company, there have been no other material items, transactions or events involving Canada Future Metals subsequent to 31 December 2023 that have come to our attention during the course of our review which would cause the Historical Financial Information presented in the Appendices to this Report to be misleading.

Pro Forma Financial information

  • 5.5 Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Financial Information, comprising:

  • the consolidated pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position of Applyflow as at 31 December 2023, adjusted for subsequent events;

is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation.

  • 5.6 To the best of our knowledge and belief, there have been no other material items, transactions or events involving Applyflow or Canada Future Metals subsequent to 31 December 2023, besides those disclosed in Appendix 9 to this Report, that have come to our attention during the course of

our review which would cause the Pro Forma Financial Information presented in the Appendices to this report to be misleading.

Independence

  • 5.7 At the date of this Report, Stantons does not have any interest in Applyflow or Canada Future Metals either directly or indirectly other than in connection with the preparation of this Report and participation in due diligence procedures, for which professional fees will be received.

Disclosures

  • 5.8 This Report has been prepared, and included in the Prospectus, to provide investors with general information only and does not consider the objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific investor. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice and potential investors should not make specific investment decisions in reliance on the information contained in this Report. Before acting or relying on any information, potential investors should consider whether it is appropriate for their objectives, financial situation or needs.

  • 5.9 Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 2 of this Report, which describes the purpose of the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a result, the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

APPENDIX 4 – APPLYFLOW NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Historical Financial Information of Applyflow was prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Corporations Act 2001 and mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia (including the Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) ) and we have made such disclosures as considered necessary.

The Historical Financial Information of Applyflow has been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information required the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note w.

(b) Going Concern

The Historical Financial Information of Applyflow has been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The consolidated entity has incurred net losses after tax of $3,208,029 (2022: $2,729,305) and net cash outflows from operations of $2,193,499 (2022: $1,627,560) for the year ended 30 June 2023. At year end, cash and cash equivalents were $3,335,306 (2022: $5,597,125).

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Based on the consolidated entity’s cash -flow forecasts, the directors are confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern.

Should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the Historical Financial Information. The Historical Financial Information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(c) Compliance with IFRS

The Historical Financial Information complies with Australian Accounting Standards and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”).

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

(d) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The impact of the adoption of these sta ndards did not have any impact on the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

Page 9 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 January 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's Historical Financial Information.

(e) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated Historical Financial Information incorporates the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Applyflow Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at the reporting dates and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Applyflow Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

(f) Operating Segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

(g) Foreign Currency Translation

The Historical Financial Information is presented in Australian dollars, which is Applyflow Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The functional currency of the foreign subsidiary JXT (Global) UK Limited is Pound Sterling. The functional currency of the foreign subsidiary Applyflow Technologies (US) Inc (previously JXT (Global) US, Inc) is the United States Dollar.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

(h) Revenue Recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.

Licence fee revenue

A licence fee comprises access and support services to the SaaS system and data hosting. Revenue is to be recognised over the length of the contract on a straight line basis (generally between 1 and 3 years). The performance obligation is satisfied over time.

Combined services and licence fee revenue

Where both services and SaaS revenue are the subject of a single undivided contract, both service and SaaS revenue are recognised according to the principles stated above concerning recognition of SaaS income.

Applypay client service fee income

The client service fee income is recognised once the final instalment payment is received in relation to Applypay funding of recruiter fees.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Government grants

Government grant income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

(i) Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

(j) Current and Non-Current Classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(l) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Page 12 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(m) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office equipment 3-10 years Computer equipment 3 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

(n) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Platform Software

Development costs on technically and commercially feasible new products are capitalised and written off on a straight-line basis:

  • the JXT Platform is written off on a straight-line basis over 3 years commencing on acquisition date of the JXT business on 1 June 2020;

  • the Applyflow Platform developed during the period is written off on a straight line basis over 4 years commencing at the time of commercial release of the new product.

The directors had elected to partially impair the JXT Platform by $200,000 as at 30 June 2021. At 30 June 2023, the directors of Applyflow have decided to impair the Applyflow Platform by $298,783 which brings the carrying amount of intangibles to nil.

(o) Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(p) Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

(q) Lease Liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

(r) Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised when a detailed plan of termination has been communicated to affected employees. They are measured as short-term employee benefits when expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date or as long-term benefits when not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Page 14 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

(s) Fair Value Measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

(t) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(u) Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and Other Similar Taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Page 15 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

(v) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the 'area of interest' method. Exploration and evaluation expenditure encompass expenditures incurred by the Company in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Exploration and evaluation expenditure includes expenditure in relation to drilling, metallurgy, technical oversight, environmental work, maintenance of tenure and the approval of work programmes on the Company’s licences including landholder access costs, legal fees and community and public relations costs.

For each area of interest, expenditure incurred in the acquisition of rights to explore is capitalised, classified as tangible or intangible, and recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset. Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost at recognition and are recorded as an asset if:

  • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and

  • b) exploration and evaluation activities in interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by the Company subsequent to the acquisition of the rights to explore is expensed as incurred, up until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project has been demonstrated with a bankable feasibility study.

Capitalised exploration costs are reviewed at each reporting date to establish whether an indication of impairment exists. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the capitalised exploration costs is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision is made to proceed with development, accumulated expenditure is tested for impairment and transferred to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced.

Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

(w) Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information required Applyflow management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Historical Financial Information. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions

Page 16 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-inuse calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note , the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to

Page 17 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

APPENDIX 8 – CANADA FUTURE METALS NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Historical Financial Information of Canada Future Metals has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘ AASB ’) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Except for cash flow information, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

(b) Going Concern

The Historical Financial Information of Canada Future Metals has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that Canada Future Metals will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

At balance date Canada Future Metals had current assets of $299,298 including total cash of $56,465, and current liabilities of $Nil and had incurred a net loss of $17,319 in the period. In addition, Canada Future Metals has an unfulfilled expenditure requirement under its exploration licences of $62,300 for the next 12 months at balance date. Canada Future Metals is in the process of being sold to Applyflow and Applyflow is planning exploration activities on its licences and has budgeted for those amounts.

The Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast for the next twelve months including consideration of the unfulfilled expenditure requirement and other committed expenses and have reasonable expectation that Canada Future Metals has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. If for any reason, Canada Future Metals is unable to continue as a going concern, then this could have an impact on Canada Future Metals’ ability to realise assets at their recognised values and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.

(c) New Accounting Standards for Application in Current and Future Periods

Canada Future Metals has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by Canada Future Metals for the reporting period ended 31 December 2023.

(d) Finance Costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.

(e) Income Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

Page 22 of 33

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

▪ when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(f) Other Taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(g) Current and Non-Current Classifications

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the company's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the company's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(i) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Canada Future Metals has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(j) Investments and Other Financial Assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the company intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Applyflow Limited Independent Limited Assurance Report 10 May 2024

==> picture [34 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [85 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Impairment of financial assets

The company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the company's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

(k) Investments and Other Financial Assets

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(l) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(m) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information required Canada Future Metals management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Historical Financial Information. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses.

Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. There have been no judgements, estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

The Directors Applyflow Limited

Dear Sirs,

Re: INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT REPORT on the MINERAL ASSETS proposed to be acquired by APPLYFLOW LIMITED (to be RENAMED FMR RESOURCES LIMITED) in CANADA

Geoimpact Pty Ltd (“GEOIMPACT”) was commissioned by the Directors of Applyflow Limited (to be renamed FMR Resources Limited (“FMR” or the “Company”) to provide an Independent Technical Assessment Report (the “Report”) on base metal and rare earth element mineral projects in Canada proposed to be acquired by Company (“the Projects”). This Report will be included in a prospectus (“Prospectus”) for a capital raising to be undertaken by the Company in connection with the proposed re-listing of the Company’s shares to trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) (“Offer”). It is understood that most of the funds raised under the Offer will be used to explore and evaluate the Canadian properties, plus expenses associated with preparing the Prospectus and the Offer and general working capital. This report addresses only the mineral claims proposed to be acquired by the Company. GEOIMPACT has not verified the tenure status or related access issues addressed elsewhere in the Prospectus.

GEOIMPACT completed a compilation and review of technical aspects of the Projects, including regional geological setting, local geology, mineralisation, and previous work. Tenure or any related access issues are addressed elsewhere in the Prospectus. FMR provided GEOIMPACT with detailed information, including a GIS database and technical reports completed as regulatory annual reports to government bodies. GEOIMPACT has made all reasonable enquiries to verify the exploration and associated data provided by FMR. The objectives of this Report are to provide a geological overview covering pertinent aspects in detail and to provide comments on the exploration potential for further discovery of mineralisation and planned exploration on the Projects by the Company.

This Independent Technical Assessment Report has been compiled based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation available up to and including this report’s date. This Report was prepared by Jonathan King, a Competent Person and Member of the Australian Institute for Geoscientists (MAIG), in accordance with the Code for the Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral and Petroleum Assets and Securities for Independent Expert Reports (VALMIN Code 2015 Edition) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012 Edition) . Jonathan King is the principal consultant for GEOIMPACT. Exploration results in the Report are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by Jonathan King. GEOIMPACT is unaware of any exploration activities materially changing the data review.

Geoimpact Mineral Exploration Consultants

The Company has prepared staged exploration programmes specific to the exploration potential of the Projects, which are consistent with its budget allocations. GEOIMPACT considers that the Projects are prospective for the target mineralisation subject to varying degrees of risk and warrant further exploration and development of their mineral potential. The Company's exploration strategy and programs are consistent with the mineral potential and status of the Projects. The proposed expenditure is also sufficient to meet statutory expenditure requirements applicable to the Projects.

This review is based on information provided by the Company, published and unpublished data for the exploration properties, and the independent geologist's personal knowledge of the areas. A listing of the principal sources of information is included in this Report. GEOIMPACT has endeavoured, by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the technical data upon which this Report is based. The Company was given a final draft of this report and thereby allowed to identify any material errors or omissions.

GEOIMPACT, its employees, and associates are not, nor intend to be, directors, officers, or employees of the Company and have no material interest in the Projects or the Company. The relationship with the Company is solely one of professional association between client and independent consultant. The review work and this report are prepared in return for professional fees based upon agreed commercial rates, and the payment of these fees is in no way contingent on the descriptions and findings of this Report.

Considering the definition provided in the VALMIN Code, FMR's mineral assets are classified as Advanced Exploration Mineral Assets. Although subject to varying degrees of risk, the mineral properties are considered prospective to warrant further exploration and development of their economic potential consistent with the programs proposed by FMR.

GEOIMPACT and Jonathan King consent to including the Report in the Prospectus for the Offer in its current form and context.

INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT REPORT on the MINERAL ASSETS proposed to be acquired by APPLYFLOW LIMITED (to be RENAMED FMR RESOURCES LIMITED) in CANADA

Geoimpact Pty Ltd (“Geoimpact”) has been commissioned by Applyflow Limited to be renamed FMR Resources Limited) (“Company” or “FMR”) to provide an Independent Technical Assessment Report on mineral assets, FMR proposes to acquire. FMR is an Australian public company with a registered office in New South Wales. Geoimpact understands that FMR's securities are presently suspended from trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) and that FMR is seeking to undertake a transaction that will see its securities re-listed on the ASX via the acquisition of the mineral assets, an associated capital raising and re-compliance by FMR with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules (“Transaction”), and shareholders or potential investors may rely upon this report. This report will be included in a prospectus (“Prospectus”) to be lodged by FMR with the ASX and ASIC, respectively. The funds raised under the Prospectus, together with existing cash resources, will be used for the purpose of acquisition, exploration, development, and evaluation of the mineral assets proposed to be acquired.

Following the completion of the Transaction, FMR’s mineral assets will comprise the Fairfield and Fintry projects in Canada (Figure 1). Table 1 of this report details the claims that will comprise these mineral assets.

THE MINERAL ASSETS PROPOSED TO BE ACQUIRED

The Fairfield Copper Project, located in eastern New Brunswick's highly prospective Appalachian Orogenic Belt, includes eight prospects:

  • Demoiselle, Memrancook East,

  • North Dorchester, Tantramar,

      • Upper Dorchester, Gayton’s, and
    • Memrancook, - Calhoun.
  • Upper Dorchester, Gayton’s, and

The Fintry Rare Earth Element Project, located in the Nagagami River alkalic complex in central east Ontario.

No Mineral Resources or Exploration Targets have been reported for the projects.

Fairfield Copper Project

The Fairfield Copper Project covers approximately 70.5 km² of ground staked over the most prospective geology represented by several known mineral occurrences, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies underexplored by modern techniques. It is located in Westmorland County in New Brunswick, southeastern Canada, 25 km southeast of Moncton, New Brunswick’s largest city. The exploration focuses on sedimentary-hosted copper mineralisation like the adjacent historical Dorchester copper mine. Historically, Dorchester is the largest known stratabound copper deposit in New Brunswick, which is described as forming a large (1 km by 2 km) lenticular, NE-trending low-grade zone with high-grade (2 – 10 % Cu) sections (New Brunswick Mineral Occurrence Database, 2024). Mineralisation is typically hosted in fluvial channel sequences of the Carboniferous-aged Moncton and Sackville subbasins, which developed during the long and complex deformation following the Devonian-aged Acadian Orogeny. Rich deposits of copper, base metals and gold are known in the region despite a lack of systematic modern exploration.

The project holds significant potential for discovering several mineralisation styles, including fluorite, gold, uranium, lead-zinc, and oil-gas, with the company initially focusing on copper.

Fintry Rare Earth Element Project

The Fintry Rare Earth Element (REE) Project is located near Fintry Creek, a tributary of the Pitopiko River, in the District of Cochrane, central east Ontario, Canada, 65 km northwest of Hearst. The project is near and likely forms the southernmost expression of the Albany and Nagagami River Alkali Complexes. The claim group covers ~12 km[2] and the interpreted outline of the Fintry alkalic complex.

The Fintry alkalic complex comprises similar rocks and alteration and is similar in size and structure to the HeclaKilmer and Saint-Honoré alkalic complexes. The latter hosts a world-class NI43-101 REE resource estimated at 1,058.6 Mt at 1.75 % TREE (total rare earth elements), with the mineralisation extending beyond a vertical depth of 1,250 m (Grenier et al., 2013). While eighteen (18) of 24 drillholes in the former, have produced mineralised REE intervals with > 1 % TREO and intersections like the following 243 m @ 1.01 % TREO, within 461 m of continuous mineralisation @ 0.9 % TREO, 0.13 % Nb2O5 including 39 m @ 2.01 % TREO and up to 1.1 g/t Au (VR Resources,2024).

The strong alignment and close association between the reviewed complexes, including rock types, alteration styles, physical size and internal structure, support Fintry as having the potential to host significant REE and niobium mineralisation.

FAIRFIELD COPPER PROJECT

The Fairfield Copper Project covers approximately 70.5 km² of ground located between Sackville and Moncton, in Westmorland County in southeast New Brunswick, Canada. Previous exploration and historical mining have identified many mineral occurrences, including the historical Dorchester copper mine, immediately adjacent to the main claim group and in several commodities, including copper, leadzinc, fluorite, gold, and barite. The encountered mineralisation is mainly hosted in fluvial channel sequences of the Carboniferous-aged Moncton and Sackville subbasins, which developed during the formation and subsequent destruction of the Appalachian Orogen, specifically during the Devonian-aged Acadian Orogeny (Tucker et al., 2001). The historic Dorchester Mine was worked on a small scale between 1882 to 1903 and during the First World War, producing 2,000 tonnes at 3.7 % Cu (Boyd, 1978). The exploration focus is on sedimentary-hosted copper mineralisation, which is similar in style to the historical Dorchester copper mine.

Figure 2: Location of the Fairfield Copper Project within the Appalachian Gold-Copper Belt. (Green Bay Copper - AuTECO Minerals Limited, 2023; Gaspe - Camus & Dupere, 2022).

The Fairfield Project is considered to have solid potential for further copper deposits since it lies along the strike from the Dorchester sediment-hosted copper deposit, where Boyd (1978) described a 6.1 metrethick zone of mineralisation, dipping to a depth of 335 metres and having a strike length of 1,067 m at an average grade of just under 1 % (Figure 4).

Location, tenure, and physiography

The Fairfield Copper Project is located in Westmorland County, southeastern New Brunswick, Canada, centred approximately 25 km southeast of Moncton, New Brunswick's largest city. It lies approximately 10 km north of the village of Dorchester and 15 km northwest of Sackville. Access to the property area can be gained by Exit 500 off the Trans-Canada Highway onto Walker Road from Highway 106 or by travelling north on King Street in Sackville. Numerous woods roads, drill roads, and ATV/Snowmobile trails extend throughout the project area.

11 | P a g e

The Project comprises 16 claims covering an area of approximately 70.5 km[2] (Figure 4; Table 2). The Claim Group is split into 3 groupings: southwest claims, which include the Demoiselle and Curryville prospects; central claims, including the North Dorchester, Upper Dorchester, Memrancook, Memrancook East, Gayton’s and Calhoun prospects; and the northeast claims, which includes the Tantramar prospect. The Claim Group is located on the boundary between 1:50,000 NTS map sheets 21I/01E, 21I/02E, 21H/15E and 21H/16W.

The property exhibits a rugged topography with a well-developed anticline dominating the landscape and plunging east. The Dorchester Anticline is south of the associated Moncton Syncline and partially eroded due to uplift. The Peticodiac River drains southwest into Shepody Bay, separating the southwestern claim group from the other claim groups. Meanwhile, the northeastern claims lie in the Tantramar marshlands.

Elevations range from tidal range at the edge of the Peticodiac River to approximately 180 m above sea level at the top of Coppermine Hill, the site of a past-producing copper mine. Outcrop exposure is poor and is dominantly confined to stream beds, coastal exposures, and gravel quarries. The terrain near the property is generally vegetated with pine, spruce, and various deciduous trees, as well as areas of farm, berry, and pastureland.

Regional geological setting

The Appalachian Orogenic Belt is the belt of Palaeozoic deformation along the southeast side of the North American continent that borders the central continental platform on that side. Its major exposed portion is the Appalachian Mountains, which reach from central Alabama through the eastern United States and Canada to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (Keppie, 1993; Rodgers, 1997). The Canadian Appalachian region includes the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southern parts of Quebec (Williams, 1995).

The Fairfield Copper Project lies over rocks of the Palaeozoic Maritimes Basin, the largest postaccretionary intermontane basin that formed in the wake of mountain-building processes that created the northern Appalachian Mountains (St Peter, 1993). The Maritimes Basin contains smaller subbasins with common stratigraphy separated by fault-controlled basement uplifts (Eggleston, 2017), including the Moncton and Sackville subbasins, which underlie the Fairfield Project. The Moncton subbasin extends westward over a large area that lies to the north of the Caledonia Highlands basement uplift. In contrast, the Sackville subbasin terminates to the west against the uplift. Elsewhere, the Dorchester Fault separates the two basins, a major structure identified in surface geologic maps, extending from the Caledonia Highlands in the southwest to Upper Dorchester and farther northeast (Eggleston & Waldron, 2016). The subbasins developed during periods of extension, transpression/transtension, rapid subsidence and bi-modal volcanism following the Devonian Acadian Orogeny i.e., the subbasins record a complex history of sedimentation in a long-lived, active tectonic regime (St. Peter & Johnson, 2009; Zientek et al ., 2015; Conliffe et al., 2023; Government of New Brunswick, 2024). The DevonianCarboniferous stratigraphic succession in southeastern New Brunswick has a thickness exceeding 3.5 km (Islam & Keighley, 2018).

Thus, the oldest basement rocks in the region are Proterozoic gneiss and schist and lower Palaeozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Caledonia Highlands. Silurian to Devonian metasedimentary rocks, some with intercalated volcanics, lie over the basement rocks. The Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous basin-fill consists of locally derived clastic debris from adjacent uplifted areas (Horton Group), interrupted by several marine incursions during the Early Carboniferous. The extensive evaporite deposits of the Windsor Group formed during this latter period of relative tectonic quiescence. Unconformity-bound packages, or holokinetic sequences, of thinned and folded strata (Mabou group) developed near ascending salt diapirs (Brake et al., 2019). During the Late Carboniferous, clastic sedimentary fill became more distally derived and overstepped older basin strata and basement (Cumberland and Pictou groups; St. Peter & Johnson, 2009. Zientek et al., 2015). Three major angular unconformities occur: between the Horton and Windsor Groups, between the Mabou and Cumberland Groups, and between the Cumberland and Pictou Groups (St. Peter, 1993).

Local geology

The Claim groups predominantly lie over units of the Mabou and Cumberland Groups deposited in the Monton and Sackville subbasins. Rocks of the Boss Point Formation (Cumberland Group) mainly underlie the southwest and northeast claim groups, with a slither of Hopewell Cape Formation occupying the western margins of the southwest claim group. The central claim group is dominantly underlain by and aligns with the NNW-trending disconformable to unconformable contact between the Hopewell Creek Formation of the Mabou Formation in the west and the Boss Point Formation. The northern and far northern parts of the central claim group are underlain by the basal Horton Group (Memramcook and Albert Formations) and the Gaytons Granite, indicating a basement high in the north (Figure 4).

The Boss Point Formation of the Cumberland Group consists of well-sorted, grey to red, trough crossbedded sandstone, mudstone, and conglomerate. Grey sandstone in the formation weathers to a distinctive yellow. Coalified fossil logs and plants are common (Egglestone, 2017).

The Hopewell Cape Formation constitutes the entire Mabou Group. It consists of mostly poorly sorted red but occasionally grey conglomerate, sandstone, and mudstone (St. Peter & Johnson, 2009).

The Lime-kiln Brook Formation of the Windsor Group is restricted to the Sackville subbasin south of the Dorchester Fault, where it crops out in the Upper Dorchester area. The formation is characterised by intercalated fine-grained red beds and marine limestones with gypsum or anhydrite (Utting et al., 2010).

Figure 4: Fairfield copper project geology, claims, and significant previous results. (Memramcook – Black, 1982; North Dorchester - Normore & Mitton, 2007; Tantramar – Dome, 1964; Dorchester Copper Mine - New Brunswick Mineral Occurrence Database, 2024; Demoiselle - Noranda Ex, 1993).

The Albert Formation comprises sandstone, highly kerogenous shales and mudstones, and significant oil shale deposits (Egglestone, 2017). The formation includes fossils of fish and land plants and trace fossils. It is host to the source and reservoir rocks of the McCully gas field and the old Stoney Creek oil and gas field. Albertite, a shiny black hydrocarbon similar in appearance to coal, was mined in the Albert Mines zone adjacent to the project (St. Peter, 2000; St. Peter & Johnson, 2009; Egglestone, 2017).

The Memramcook Formation represents the first record of sedimentation in the Moncton Subbasin. It comprises mainly red polymictic conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, and minor calcrete (St. Peter, 1993).

The Middle Devonian (390 Ma) calc-alkalic I-type Gaytons Granite (Yousefi et al., 2023), a quartz monzonite stock, consists of large phenocrysts of both K-feldspar (microcline) and plagioclase in a coarse-grained groundmass of plagioclase, quartz, biotite, and amphibole. Accessory titanite, apatite, and opaque minerals are abundant, along with abundant fluorite, commonly along fractures and as matrix to brecciated zones in the granite (Barr et al., 2007). White (1996) concluded that the Gaytons Granite represents the most northeasterly exposure of pre-Carboniferous rocks related to the Brookville Terrane in New Brunswick.

The Dorchester Anticline, whose axis strikes and plunges northeasterly, is situated south of the associated Moncton Syncline and is partially eroded due to uplift. It is intersected by two major fault zones, the Dorchester, and Fairfield Faults, which may have factored into basin-wide fluid flow and the resulting mineralisation.

Mineralisation styles

Numerous deposits, including copper, gold, and lead-zinc, were formed during the tectonic events that occurred during the creation and subsequent destruction of the Appalachian Orogen. The exploration efforts at Fairfield are expected to concentrate on the red bed successions, where the successions intermingle and enclose a predominantly grey-coloured layer.

Copper

Sediment-hosted stratabound copper (SSC) deposits, the principal mineralisation style at Fairfield, are associated with evaporite minerals and continental red beds deposited in rift, transtensional, and intermontane basins. The host rock sedimentary depositional environments are dominantly terrestrial, including aeolian dunes, sabkhas, playas, and sand sheets, together with minor alluvial fans, ephemeral rivers, and inland lakes (Kirkham, 1989). The deposits form from late diagenetic fluids (subsurface brines probably derived from evaporites) generated during the compaction and lithification of sedimentary basins containing successions of red beds and evaporite minerals. The brines extracted copper from available basement rocks or sediments, transported it through oxidised beds, and precipitated it by reduction in anoxic sediments. Early diagenetic pyrite was a common reductant (Kirkham, 1989). They consist of finegrained copper-sulphide and copper-iron-sulphide minerals that form stratabound to stratiform disseminations in sedimentary rocks. Strong zoning of ore minerals along and across bedding characterises SSC deposits: from a distal reduced zone comprising pyrite to galena and sphalerite to chalcopyrite to bornite, to chalcocite, and hematite. The most important deposits are in the Central African Copperbelt of Zambia and the DRC. These reduced-facies and sandstone-hosted deposits have large tonnages and unusually high grades (~2.5 %). Known resources in the belt are ~152 Mt Cu across more than 80 deposits, with the USGS estimating a further 168 Mt Cu remaining to be discovered (Zientek et al., 2015). Michigan’s White Pine is the largest SSC in North America, with indicated resources of 150.7 Mt at 1.05 % Cu and 13.5 g/t Ag, and inferred resources of 96.4 Mt at 1.03 % Cu and 9 g/t Ag (Highland Copper, 2024).

Mineralisation at the historical Dorchester Mine, immediately south of the central claim group (Figure 4), occurs in grey, carbonaceous sandstones and conglomerates of the Boss Point Formation, where they lie over the red shale and siltstone beds of the Hopewell Cape Formation. Chalcocite and malachite with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and covellite occur as replacement of carbonaceous "trash", detrital fragments, and pyrite, and in interstices and vugs in the coarser sediments. Mineralisation of a consistent nature occurs within 15 metres of the basal shale contact. A further zone of scattered copper mineralisation is present in grey sandstones overlying an upper shale sequence. The contact occurs 3045 metres above the basal shale contact. The copper zone is entirely confined to fluvial-channel deposits in the lower part of the Boss Point Formation. The copper-bearing beds comprise grey sandstone and conglomerate with abundant carbonised plant material (Normore & Mitton, 2007).

The Dorchester copper occurrence lies on the south limb of the northeasterly-plunging Dorchester Anticline. The mineralised contact sub-crops in the mine area and dips 15°-20° to the southeast. The mineralisation in the Dorchester area corresponds with a highly disrupted fault package over 5 km wide, potentially associated with the Dorchester Fault.

Other copper potential

The northern margin of the central claim group lies over the Gaytons Quartz Monzonite. This elongated granite stock is visible in aggregate quarries near the village of Gaytons, situated east of Moncton. The stock is mineralogically similar and the same age as a nearby calc-alkalic I-type granite, which hosts the Evandale Porphyry Cu-Mo-Au mineralisation. The Eagle Lake Granite, located southwest of Fairfield, is mineralogically similar and elongated like Gaytons but younger (at 360 Ma; Yousefi et al., 2023). This granite contains notable stockwork Cu-Mo-Au mineralisation and alteration. Fluorite is a widespread mineral in porphyry and hydrothermal vein Mo-polymetallic deposits. The abundant fluorite associated with the stock-like appearance of Gaytons Granite may indicate a higher likelihood for porphyry-related mineralisation. Such systems could contain skarn, carbonate replacement, sediment-hosted Au, and overlying high-to-intermediate sulfidation epithermal base and precious metal deposits (Corbett, 2009).

Two cupriferous bogs lie near Fairfield, 8 km northwest of Sackville, in the Aboushagan Swamp (northwest claim group – Tantramar Prospect). The swamps are characterised by high concentrations of copper in the soil and water, with the organic matter (muck) in these bogs containing from 2 to 10 % Cu, derived from cupriferous springs that carry copper in amounts ranging from 0.005 to 1 ppm. The source of the copper in the springs is unknown, but the metal probably originates from the leaching of cupriferous (chalcocitic) deposits in grits and conglomerates at the base of the Boss Point Formation (Boyle, 1977; MacDonald, 2010). Several workers (Gussow, 1953; Beschel, 1959; Fraser, 1961) suggest the source of the Cu in the swamps is the Boss Point Formation along the hinge of the Dorchester anticline and fault, i.e. a similar geological setting to the nearby Dorchester Mine.

Other Base Metals (Lead and Zinc)

The Windsor Group represents the only significant marine incursion in the Maritimes Basin. It consists of a lower carbonate unit (Macumber Formation) overlain by a thick succession of evaporite, clastic, and carbonate rocks. It hosts numerous Zn-Pb-Ba-Cu-Ag-F deposits, including the Scotia (formerly Gays River deposit), Walton and Jubilee deposits in Nova Scotia, and several occurrences on the Port au Port Peninsula, Newfoundland. Geological and geochemical studies show that these deposits share several important characteristics, including the location on the flanks of subbasins in carbonate rocks at the base of the Windsor Group, a strong structural control on mineralisation, and metalliferous fluids sourced from the underlying basement rocks (Conliffe et al., 2023).

The restriction of base-metal occurrences to this relatively thin (< 5 to 60 m) stratigraphic unit below a thick succession of evaporites, and thus near an accessible source of sulphur, indicates that this configuration has a first-order genetic control on the formation of Zn-Pb mineralisation. Most known deposits and occurrences align with the margins of (extensional) subbasins, such as the faulted margin shared by the Moncton and Sackville subbasins, i.e. the Dorchester Fault.

Gold

Most gold deposit types in New Brunswick were formed because of tectonic processes during the formation and subsequent destruction of the Appalachian Orogen. Documented deposit types in New Brunswick include: (1) orogenic, (2) intrusion-related, (3) gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide, (4) skarn, (5) porphyry, (6) epithermal, and (7) placer/palaeoplacer deposits (Thorne, 2011; Thorne et al., 2024). However, the main source of gold in New Brunswick has been as a byproduct of the smelting of base-metal sulphide deposits, including Brunswick, Caribou, and Murray Brook mines in the northern part of the province (Thorne, 2011).

Closer to Fairfield, several palaeoplacer gold occurrences are found in the Aboushagan Swamp (the Tantramar Prospect), north of Sackville. In the Aboushagan Swamp area (also referred to as Aboujagane in the literature: see O’Reilly (1996) and Thorne (2011)), historic records indicate that Dome Exploration Ltd. (1964) obtained a drill intersection in Hole DDH2 of 6 g/t gold over 1.4 m in Carboniferous grey sandstone and shale. Later investigations by Boyle (1977) returned 2.3 g/t Au (Sample S1 – 395,287 mE, 5,094,852 mN; Z20NAD83) and 0.33 g/t Au (Sample S9 – 394,908 mE, 5,091,522 mN; Z20NAD83) and uncovered a grab sample of sandstone that yielded up to 11.5 g/t gold [395,287 mE, 5,094,852 mN; Z20NAD83, same location as S1] as part of academic studies undertaken within the claim areas close to historic drilling (precise locations unknown). Johnson and MacLeod (1998) found that gold in the grab sample was enclosed in a quartz grain and, therefore, probably palaeoplacer in origin. Structural features such as fault scarps and bedrock contacts are interpreted as good exploration targets as they offer suitable basement topographic depression for fluvial concentration of heavy elements in ancient, buried environments (Johnson & McLeod, 1998; Thorne, 2011). Host rocks for the intersected gold are interpreted as being the Boss Point Formation.

O’Reilly (1996) speculated that the Aboujagane occurrence may be analogous to Prairie-type Au, Ag and Cu deposits, where metals occur as micro disseminations of exotic minerals that infill pores, fractures, and micro veinlets in their sedimentary host rocks. The deposits are associated with regional-scale faults, e.g. Dorchester Fault.

The favoured genetic model proposes that Au, Ag, Cu, and other metals were leached from uplifted (precarboniferous) basement rocks by highly saline but oxidised brines typical of evaporite-rich sedimentary basins. Under these conditions, the metals became soluble as chloride complexes. Precipitation occurred when the brines migrated along faults and porous units into reducing, organic-rich environments.

Barite

Barite is reported at several localities in New Brunswick. The occurrences include vein and replacementtype deposits. Bedded and residual deposits are not known. Most barite occurrences are thin and not more than a few inches thick. The largest vein is located at Memramcook East, where mapping and drilling have outlined a small (non-JORC) historical resource of about 50,000 tons of barite (Hamilton, 1968).

The Memramcook East Barite deposit lies in the southeast corner on the NTS 21I/02 geological sheet. It comprises several quartz-barite veins and stockworks with minor Cu-Pb-Zn sulphides and fluorite associated with fracture and shear zones of a major north-northwest trending, east-dipping fault system, East Memramcook Fault. The fault cuts through rocks of the Memramcook (Horton Group) and Hopewell Cape (Mabou Group) formations (New Brunswick Industrial Minerals database, 2024). The quartz-barite veins are more dominant in the south of the structure (Hamilton, 1968).

The barite, intergrown with quartz, appears in lenticular fissure zones, lodes, and infilling silicified breccia zones adjacent to intensely bleached rocks. The vein zone is up to 30 m wide and is traceable along strike for ~5,600 m (Black, 1982). Individual veins are up to 6 m wide and trend north-northwest, generally parallel to the fault structure.

Barite can be found in limestones, shales, and conglomeratic sandstones at Upper Dorchester, located a few kilometres to the south. It is distributed in the form of veins, nodules, and disseminated barite along the Dorchester Fault. Some researchers, such as Gussow (1953) and Hamilton (1968), have noted the presence of gypsum immediately south of the barite localities. They draw parallels to the Walton baritelead-silver deposit in Nova Scotia and speculate that a massive replacement deposit in the area may contain significant concentrations of metallic minerals.

The Memramcook East deposit and Upper Dorchester occurrences likely originated from the upward movement of hydrothermal solutions into dilation and breccia zones that developed along the East Memramcook and Dorchester Faults, active during the Carboniferous (New Brunswick Industrial Minerals database, 2024).

Uranium

Uranium deposits in the Moncton subbasin are mostly located in the fluviatile sandstone of the Pictou Group, specifically the Boss Point Formation, and the basal sequences of the Horton Group, specifically the Memramcook Formation. In the latter case, the active tectonic regime and paleosurfaces in the subbasin have directed uranium-enriched fluids from source areas to concentration sites, where reduced fluids from the basement mix with oxidised basin fluids, depositing uranium in the red, oxidised, clastic, terrestrial sedimentary rocks, i.e. sandstone-hosted deposits. In the former, uraniferous solutions, such as meteoric, hydrothermal, groundwater, and brines, intersect grey, reduced, clastic sedimentary rocks rich in plant debris, precipitating uranium, i.e. roll-front type uranium mineralisation (Hassan et al., 1987; Ryan & O'Beirne-Ryan, 2009).

Roll-front type uranium mineralisation also occurs in Horton Group sandstone; however, the source of the uranium within the system may be related to weathered horizons in the basement rocks beneath the Horton Group and not exclusively the result of diagenetic change in the sandstone (Ryan & O'BeirneRyan, 2009).

Oil and Gas

It is worth noting that the Albert Formation, a part of the Horton Group, has yielded 800,000 barrels of oil at the Stoney Creek Oil Field, located west of the Peticodiac River. The effects of this active petroleum system are visible in the Sackville Subbasin, where live oil is present in the brecciated limestones of the Windsor Group, situated to the west of the central claim group. Bitumen is also associated with malachite in thin sections prepared from mineralised outcrop at the historical Dorchester Mine, as reported by Hansley in 2007.

Potash, Gypsum and Rock Salt

The Windsor Group stratigraphy has been the subject of considerable study as it hosts the thickest and most widespread evaporite deposits in eastern North America. These deposits are currently mined for potash (KCl), halite (rock salt—NaCl), sulphate (gypsum/anhydrite—CaSO4·2H2O/CaSO4), and carbonate (limestone—CaCO3). A salt deposit known as the Dorchester "salt plug" is located 1.6 km northwest of Dorchester on the east bank of the Memramcook River (Webb, 2010).

Previous exploration

Exploration records spanning sixty years are available for the Fairfield claim areas (Table 3). Exploration of the Fairchild claim group has been mainly confined to the areas where the known mineralisation daylights and its immediate surroundings. As a result, exploration efforts have focused on the Dorchester Mine, Memramcook East, and Upper Dorchester, along with their respective surrounding regions in the central claim group, as well as Tantramar in the northeast claims and Demoiselle Creek in the southwest claims.

Except for the southeast claims in the latter half of the 2000s, including the Curryville and Demoiselle Creek prospects, GEOIMPACT is unaware of any significant exploration activities between 1990 – 2023 for most of the claim group.

Central claims

The Central Claims forms a large contiguous claim package within the claim group and thus forms the bulk of the Fairfield Project. The following prospects are captured within the claim group (from south to north, with the following descriptions adapted in part from the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development (NRED) Mineral Occurrence Database, unless otherwise stated):

  • Upper Dorchester (Registration Number (RN) 706) – Massive celestite zones and adjacent barite masses, veins and breccia fillings are hosted by vuggy siliciclastic limestone, algal limestone, and siltstone/shale of the Gays River Formation (Windsor Group), directly underlain by the Albert Formation. Flecks of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite are reported in outcrop on the Memramcook River. Celestite replaces limestone fragmented by faulting and solution collapse. Later barite/celestite in-fills breccia and apparently pinches out at a shallow depth. Abundant float of high-grade strontianite (SrCo3) has been found in the central portion of the celestite-barite deposits (Hudgins, 1970).

  • Woodhurst Manganese and Barite (RN 702) - Manganese occurs as a one-inch vein and as small vug fillings in barite veins within the red sandstone-conglomerate of the Hopewell Cape Formation. The mineralisation occurs along the Dorchester Fault, northeast of the Upper Dorchester barite-celestite showing.

  • Memramcook Gold (RN 723) – Gold, presumed to be of palaeoplacer origin, was reported to occur in a quartz-pebble conglomerate of Boss Point Formation. In the late 1800's "ore" was extracted, and a mill was erected. It is reported that this was a case of "salting". Subsequent sampling in the old pits may have yielded gold. Nonetheless, gold placer deposits are known with the earlier described Aboushagan occurrence, north of Sackville, considered the best example of a palaeoplacer occurrence in New Brunswick (Thorne, 2011).

  • Breau Creek Quarry (RN 1461) – A grab sample interpreted to be from the north limb of the Dorchester Anticline, assayed 0.38 % Cu [383493E, 5091500N: Z20NAD83] (Normore & Mitton, 2007). The context of the sample is described in the below section regarding geochemistry.

  • Breau Creek West (RN 1327) – Mineralisation associated with massive pyrite blebs and carbonised plant trash in fine-grained sandstone, pebbly sandstone and intraformational conglomerate of the Boss Point Formation. The occurrence is north of the Dorchester fault. Government sampled [sample 512-137-006b] with minor but anomalous base metal values.

  • Breau Creek East (RN 1328) – Nodular pyrite and traces of galena are associated with plant debris in grey, medium-grained, pebbly sandstone of the Boss Point Formation. Metals precipitated at the site of pyrite and plant debris. Mineralisation is spatially associated with the Dorchester Fault. Two government grab samples [Sample 512-139-5B] returned anomalous zinc and lead values (St. Peter & Johnson, 2009).

  • Breau Creek North (RN 1326) – Marcasite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena are associated with a mass of coalified logs in conglomerate. Interbedded polymictic conglomerate and coarse-grained sandstone of the Boss Point Formation contain abundant coalified plant material, associated pyrite nodules, and thin coal seams.

  • Memramcook East Pyrite (RN 709) – Boss Point Formation greenish sandstone contains plant debris and pyrite.

  • Memramcook East (RN 320) – Quartz-barite veins with minor Cu-Pb-Zn sulphides and fluorite within a major fault system cutting Memramcook Formation shale and sandstone. Barite is intergrown with quartz and is found in lenticular fissure zones, lodes, and infilling silicified breccia zones adjacent to intensely bleached rocks. Pit material averaged 30-35 % barite, 60-65 % silica & 5 % fluorite, with barite tenor increasing to the north (Black, 1982).

20 | P a g e

  • Coulhoun #1 (RN 753) – A small inlier of Precambrian granodiorite in Pennsylvanian sedimentary rocks contains pyrite and purple fluorite disseminated and in cracks in highly fractured, chloritised and silicified zones. The occurrence is in a quarry. Analyses showed traces of Au and anomalous amounts of barium, but no results were available.

  • Coulhoun Fluorite (RN 1156) – Fluorite occurs in veins and as fracture coatings in the Gaytons granite and in overlying sediments.

  • Coulhoun #2 (RN 752) - large pyrite nodules, up to 13 cm (5 in.) in diameter, are found in porous, friable, reduced sandstone of the Boss Point Formation.

  • Dorchester Salt (RN 259) - The Dorchester "salt plug" is located 1.6 km northwest of Dorchester on the east bank of the Memramcook River, just west of the Central claim group. The salt mass was discovered in 1949 during a regional gravity survey conducted by the Shell Oil Company. The elliptical-shaped deposit covers an area of over 500 hectares. Shell's Dorchester No. 1 drillhole, which lies outside the claim area, was 2508 m deep and encountered clean to sulphate-bearing salt of the Pugwash Mine Formation (Windsor Group) between 542 and 1519 m. The salt is covered by 421 m of salt, sulphate, and carbonate of the Lime-kiln Brook Formation and sedimentary cover rocks of the Mabou Group. In 1960, Imperial Dorchester# 1 hole was drilled outside the claim area, about 3.2 km south of the Shell hole. This hole intersected 794 m of Windsor, Pugwash Mine Formation salt between 1576 m and 2371 m, terminating in sulphates of the Upperton Formation at 2421 m. The Dorchester salt body lies at the western end of the Dorchester anticline and thins eastwards. It seems to have undergone severe deformation. Hamilton (1961, p. 33) estimated a (non-JORC) salt resource of three billion tonnes. A 27 m salt sample analysis returned a weighted average of 89 % NaCl.

Drilling

Historical drilling activity and geophysical surveying (loop electromagnetic and induced polarisation) on the Central Claims is concentrated on the two advanced barite prospects: Upper Dorchester and Memramcook East (Table 4). Six inclined shallow diamond holes have been drilled at Memramcook East2; four by the Trent Option (Ritchie, 1965) and two by McIntyre Porcupine Mines Ltd (Fountain, 1964), with 10 holes (9 within the claim area) into the Upper Dorchester target2 by Canadian Merril (Hudgins, 1972). The drilling at Memramcook predates the 1970s, whereas the Upper Dorchester was last tested in 1985. In each case, further work was recommended but never implemented. Ritchie (1965) reported that the best intersection at Memramcook East was 9 m at 40 % BaSO4 in hole 519-3. The intersection in hole 519-3 included 1.3 m at 4 g/t Ag and 0.13 % Cu, indicating that there is a connection between the targeted copper mineralisation and the massive barite zone. Canadian Merrill Limited conducted strontium exploration in Upper Dorchester between 1979 and 1972. They drilled eight holes for a total of 1,335 meters and found impressive zones of celestite-barite mineralisation. In hole UD-7, they found up to 15 meters of 25-35 % SrSO4, while in hole UD-8, they found 2 meters of 80 % SrSO4 (Hudgins, 1972).

Gulf Minerals Canada Limited (Boyd, 1977) developed 15 vertical holes[1] for 8,598' in the northeast extensions to the Dorchester Mine. The drilling focused on 'favourable contact' geology and followed reconnaissance soil geochemistry and an induced polarisation survey covering the same area. The soils, supported by the IP, produced two moderate copper anomalies in the Fire Tower area. The soils were analysed for copper (Cu), silver (Ag), lead (Pb) and uranium oxide (U3O8). Despite drilling of the indicated anomalies, no significant mineralisation was found.

Geochemistry

Cornerstone Capital (Normore & Mitton, 2007) conducted the most extensive recent field program in the area. They held the Dorchester copper deposit between 2006 and 2007. During this time, they collected 80 rock chip samples, 77 stream sediment samples, and 808 soil samples on a grid measuring 200 m x 50 m. The grid started at the historic mine and extended 4 km to the north. Twelve samples were taken within the claims (Table 6), returning highly variable copper assays. The highest value obtained was 0.38 % Cu [383493E, 5091500N: Z20NAD83] obtained from the north limb of the Dorchester Anticline, which is exposed in the Breau Creek Quarry. The sample is potentially indicative of a new mineralised area and, like other IP geophysical and elevated soil geochemistry anomalies generated by Cornerstone, is yet to be followed up.

Northeast Claims

The Northeast Claims comprise of two claims, 11099 and 11101, which overlie the earlier described Tantramar Prospect (RN 705), where which copper has formed organic (chelate) complexes in peat bogs. Beneath the bog, copper and gold occur in grey sandstones of the Boss Point Formation intersected by a NE-trending fault (interpreted as being the Dorchester Fault). Recent exploration has focused on gold after four samples by Boyle (1977) averaged 2.3 g/t (and 5.6 % Cu) with a peak value of 6.8 g/t Au taken as part of academic studies undertaken within the claim areas close to historic drilling (sample locations provided in earlier gold section) As stated earlier, Johnson & McLeod (1998) suggests that gold may be a palaeoplacer.

Twelve holes have been drilled within the claim area with four apiece to Dome Explorations Canada Limited (Dome) in 1964, Canerpa Limited in 1972 and more recently by Chilean Gold Limited in 1997. Following is a summary of each with key results.

Dome (1964) completed 4 shallow diamond holes for 234.4 m, intersecting elevated copper and gold in sedimentary rocks. The highlight intersections returned 21.8 m at 0.17 % Cu from 3.7 m in DDH-2, including 1.4 m at 6.2 g/t Au and 58.2 m at 0.14 % Cu from 3.1 m in DDH-3 (Table 4).

In 1979, Chilean Gold drilled six core holes, four (97-3 to 97-6) for 2342’ in the claim area, which intercepted anomalous zinc and lead values. The Pb and Zn are most likely associated with coal beds/lenses, which are quite common throughout the Boss Point core. The 3-foot section immediately below (sample 253367) assayed 7500 ppm Zn and 2220 ppm Pb. Zinc is relatively abundant throughout the drillholes along with Pb (Muir, 1997).

Southwest Claims

The Southwest Claims comprises two claims, 11096 and 11102, which overlie the Demoiselle Creek and Curryville Prospects.

Demoiselle Creek (RN 1369)—Chalcocite-specularite mineralisation occurs mainly as disseminations in the matrix or as nodules in the lowermost grey sandstone of the Boss Point directly above the red polymictic conglomerate of the Hopewell Cape Formation. The mineralisation is commonly zoned, with Cu-rich assemblages at the base and Pb-Zn at the top. Pyrite was the main reductant in this deposit. A basin-bounding fault (Demoiselle Creek Fault) and favourable chemical and physical stratigraphic traps exert primary control on mineralisation.

Curryville (RN 710) - Copper mineralisation occurs as chalcocite in grey sandstones of the Boss Point Formation and within Windsor Group limestones, presumably as chalcopyrite, along with galena and sphalerite. The area is underlain (at 122 to 152 m depth) by Neoproterozoic - Broad River Group volcanics. Later drilling by Noranda in this area and immediately to the NE (Demoiselle Creek URN #1369). The red bed copper is concentrated in the hanging wall of the N-NW trending fault Demoiselle Creek Fault (McLeod, 1997).

Drilling

Noranda Exploration completed eight diamond holes totalling 530.7 m at the Demoiselle prospect in 1993 and intersected several intersections of copper mineralisation in sedimentary rocks (Figure 5). Highlight intersections include 8.1 m at 0.86 % Cu in DEM-93-1, 4.5 m at 1.27 % Cu and 0.3 m at 10.5 % Cu, and a 24.1 m zone in DEM-93-5, including 7.7 m at 0.36 % Cu, 6.4 m at 0.33 % Cu, and 3.3 m at 0.36 % Cu.

Exploration potential

Southeastern New Brunswick is home to numerous copper deposits, one being the adjacent Dorchester Copper Mine, establishing the existence of a large mineralising system. The aerial extent and thickness of red beds in the greater Maritimes basin, which includes the Moncton and Sackville subbasins, provides an ample source of copper with abundant permeable, reduced horizons available to soak up the mineralising fluids. Salt tectonics, associated with salt expulsion and ascending diapirs, creates fluid pathways and promotes the migration of mineral-rich fluids, a key component in generating these deposits. Thus, the critical ingredients required to create a significant SSC deposit exist within the Moncton and Sackville subbasins and, therefore, plausibly within the Fairfield Project area.

The claims secure 70.5 km² of the prospective area and include over 15 km of the prospective contact between the Hopewell Cape and overlying Boss Point Formations. The claim areas include several known mineral occurrences, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies identified by previous explorers. These occurrences and anomalies have not yet been thoroughly explored using modern techniques, leaving much potential untapped.

The Company plans to conduct an early VTEM (Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic) survey over the core central claim group to evaluate several target areas identified as promising for SSC mineralisation. VTEM is expected to efficiently detect the surface of good conductors below the shallow sedimentary cover present at Fairfield. Any conductors will likely reflect one or both of the following: sulphide-bearing rocks in the fluvial channel or the abundant carbonised plant material in the fluvial channel. Copper-leadzinc mineralisation at Fairfield is characteristically associated with fluvial channels hosting abundant carbonised plant material in the lower part of the Boss Point Formation (Normore & Mitton, 2007). Either way, VTEM will improve targeting within the highly prospective terrane, and help to prioritise targets for future drilling.

The Company also plans to complete detailed geological mapping, integrating with geochemical sampling and trenching (if necessary) as field confirmatory checks to derisk and prioritise drilling targets.

FINTRY REE PROJECT

The Fintry REE Project covers an area of 12 square kilometres in the District of Cochrane, central east Ontario, Canada, 65 km northwest of Hearst. The Project lies on the southern zone of the Nagagami River and Albany alkalic complex in the Archean Superior Province in Ontario, Canada (Figure 6). The province has some 50 known alkalic and carbonatite complexes, several of which host REE and niobium deposits and occurrences. Drilling at the nearby Nagagami alkalic complex has intersected broad REE mineralisation zones, such as 61 m at 0.55 % TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) (Noble Min, 2023).

The Fintry claim group consists of 60 claims that cover the magnetic expression of small circular ultramafic to mafic intrusion. The Ontario Geological Survey believe these intrusions are related to the adjacent Nagagami River and Albany alkalic complexes. The Fintry Complex has a similar scale and syenitic geology to the Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex, located approximately 190 km to the east-northeast (Figure 6). The Hecla-Kilmer complex has reported mineralisation of 461 m at 0.85 % TREO and 0.13 % Nb2O5 (Niobium pentoxide), including 39 m at 2.0 % TREO (VR Resources, 2023). The Hecla-Kilmer alkalic complex provides evidence that fertile intrusions with economic grade and widths of mineralisation can have a small footprint.

Location, tenure and physiography

The Fintry REE Project lies in the Fintry Township (G-2308), in the District of Cochrane, central east Ontario, Canada, 65 km northwest of Hearst and 150 km east of Longlac (Figure 6). The Project comprises 60 contiguous claims covering an area of approximately 12 km² (Figure 7; Table 8), with five claims lying on the Feagan Lake Area (G-1691) to the north. The 60 claims that comprise the Project are 100 % held by Canada Future Metals Inc. Access to the property area is gained by exiting north off the Trans-Canada Highway towards Palmquist, 1.5 km west of the Nagagami Bridge. The Trans-Canada Highway lies 20 km south of the Project. There are also numerous woods roads and drill roads, which extend throughout the project area.

The Claim Group is located within NTS block 042F/l6 and on the northern edge of the Hornepayne 1:250,000 Geological Sheet (2668)(OGS, 2021).

The Project occupies the throat of a shallow north-opening valley associated with Fintry Creek, which lies between the north-northeast-flowing Pitopiko and Nagagami Rivers. The terrain is mostly wet or swampy and relatively flat throughout the property, with limited outcrop. It ranges in elevation from 150 m in the north to 180 m in the south, averaging 170 m (asl). Most of the property is covered by second-growth spruce and jack pine forests, with lesser cedar, tamarack, poplar, and white birch. Tag alders and cedar thickets are abundant in the swampy areas. The claims contain abundant water as there are several north-flowing streams.

Regional geological setting

The Fintry Property is situated near the boundary between two subprovinces of the Canadian Shield's Superior Province - the granite-greenstone Eastern Wabigoon and Quetico (Figure 8). The Eastern Wabigoon subprovince in the north comprises mafic to intermediate volcanics with minor felsic rocks, whereas metamorphosed turbiditic sedimentary sequences of the Quetico Basin dominate the southern region. Granitoids are the dominant plutonic rock within the Quetico Basin (Pettigrew & Hattori, 2006). The Quetico fault, a significant east-to-northeast transcurrent fault (Thurston et al., 1992), forms the boundary between the Eastern Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces. Phanerozoic rocks and glacial overburden of the James Bay Lowlands obscure the boundary just north of the Fintry property.

The Nagagami River, Albany and Fintry complexes (Figure 8 and Figure 9) are the most southern in a series of Mesoproterozic to Neoproterozoic intrusions that define a north- to northwest-trending arcuate band of inferred alkalic magmatism (Conley & Moore, 2015). The Nagagami River Alkalic Complex (NRAC) is likely composed of two ring-shaped subcomplexes with more mafic rims and more leucocratic cores. The complex comprises amphibole-pyroxene syenites, while the host rocks contain syenites, monzonites, granites, diorites, and granodiorites (Sage, 1988a). The Albany Alkalic Rock Complex abuts the NRAC from the south and intrudes along the contact between the Eastern Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces. The alkalic intrusive suite comprises alkalic syenite, ijolite, and associated mafic and ultramafic rocks and carbonatite (OGS, 2024).

The emplacement of the complexes is believed to be associated with the Trans-Superior Tectonic Zone (TSTZ) and the Kapuskasing Structural Zone (KSZ), a northeast-trending, failed rift and a long-lived, crustal-scale fault zone which bisects the Archean Superior craton between James Bay and Lake Superior (Miller et al., 2013; Arciniegas, 2020). The TSTZ (and Lake Superior) is related to an aborted or failed rift, the Midcontinent Rift (MCR), resulting from an upwelling mantle plume during the Mesoproterozoic time (Pettigrew, 2018). Dickas & Mudrey (1997) interpret the TSTZ as a primary accommodation zone in the segmentation of the MCR. Percival & McGrath (1986) interpret the KSZ as an east-verging Proterozoic thrust fault system that may have contributed to the rift’s ultimate failure to develop.

Figure 8: Key geological attributes of the Fintry Project area with the claim group outline

Younger Proterozoic dykes cut across the east-west trending volcanics and metasediments in northwest to northeast directions. To the northeast, the rocks belonging to the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield slope northwards beneath a cover of flat-lying carbonate-rich Palaeozoic sediments of the James Bay Lowlands. The Palaeozoic rocks are overlain by glacial and recent deposits varying in thickness from 25 m to more than 150 m (Janse et al., 1986).

Local geology

Poor outcrop exposure, coupled with previously poor access and a general lack of prior exploration, has resulted in a very poor understanding of the project area's geology. Improved understanding has come from the collection of higher-resolution magnetic and drilling data.

Government-flown airborne magnetics suggest that the Fintry area may cover stratigraphy representing the eastern extension of the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt (BGB), which straddles the boundary between the eastern Wabigoon subprovince and the Quetico metasedimentary subprovince. It consists of three roughly east-west-trending shear-bounded panels of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks (Tóth, 2019). Hence, magnetic markers subparallel to the interpreted subprovince boundary were interpreted to equate with the metavolcanic panels or banded iron formation of the BGB. However, detailed airborne magnetic investigations revealed Fintry as forming a small ultramafic to mafic intrusion commonly associated with Alkalic complexes. Several, including Fintry, were discovered over the past decade due to expanded exploration for Ni-Cu-PGE deposits. Drilling has proven the presence of alkaline rocks (nepheline syenite) and minerals (apatite) within the rock package at Fintry, confirming its alkalic affinity.

All early Archean rock units are cut by a series of northwest-trending diabase dykes and occasional northeast-trending diabase dykes.

Mineralisation

Alkaline intrusion-related mineral system

The alkaline intrusion-related mineral system differs from most other mineral systems in that many deposits are orthomagmatic, i.e. the ore fluid is the magma. Hence, fluid pathways in this mineral system are primarily the magmatic pathways, which are generally controlled by larger-scale architecture. Thus, alkaline igneous rocks are found in broader geological settings, including continental rift valleys (the primary setting), intraplate magmatic provinces with uncertain tectonic settings, and destructive plate boundaries (Fitton & Upton, 1987). Ernst and Bell (2010) suggest that possible drivers for some alkaline magmatic events were mantle plume events, which also can initiate rifting. For example, the failed Midcontinent Rift resulted from an upwelling mantle plume during the Mesoproterozoic time (Pettigrew, 2018). Complexes associated with rift zones have circular or ellipsoidal forms and tend to occur in clusters, suggesting association with a single magmatic source (Wygralak, 2000).

Magmatic rocks associated with alkaline magmatism are generally small in volume but can have an extensive range in composition. For example, the Nagagami intrusion comprises amphibole-pyroxene syenites, while the host rocks contain syenites, monzonites, granites, diorites, and granodiorites (Sage, 1988a). In contrast, the Hecla-Kilmer intrusion consists of essexite (nepheline monzogabbro), ijolite, pyroxenite and nepheline syenite (Sage, 1988b). The variations in the magma and resulting rocks are attributed to low-degree partial melts of metasomatised or crustally contaminated mantle, with the depth of melting and the degree and age of contamination (Fitton & Upton, 1987; Verplanck & Van Gosen, 2011).

The term "alkalic" describes rocks that are SiO2 poor and contain alkali metals (Na2O, K2O, and CaO) in concentrations more significant than those commonly found in other igneous rocks (Verplanck & Van Gosen, 2011). The alkali-rich and feldspathoid minerals in the rock reflect these alkali-metal-rich compositions. They are commonly accompanied by volatile elements, large ion lithophiles (LIL), rare earth elements (REE), and other incompatible element enrichment, marking them as economically significant (Thurston et al., 1992).

==> picture [596 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

32 | P a g e

Typically, mineralisation results from the emplacement of volatile-enriched (F and water) alkaline magmas as hypabyssal intrusions, (pyroclastic) volcanic rocks, or deeper-level intrusions. During this process, the volatiles and incompatible elements (e.g., Th, Zr, and REE) are concentrated in the upper parts of the magma chamber. Late-stage hydrothermal fluids containing F and Cl are important for enhancing the grades in these deposits. If a magmatic-hydrothermal fluid evolves from the alkaline magma, depositional mechanisms can include depressurisation, fluid-rock interaction or mixing with ambient fluids.

The mineralisation is commonly restricted to carbonatite dykes, sills, breccias, sheets, veins, and large masses but may occur in other rocks associated with the complex rocks. Alteration known as fenitisation (widespread alkali metasomatism of quartzo-feldspathic rock; mostly alkalic feldspar with some aegirine and subordinate alkali-hornblende and accessory sphene and apatite) typically occurs near the contact of carbonatite intrusions (Verplanck & Van Gosen, 2011).

Carbonatite and alkaline intrusive complexes and their weathering products are the primary sources of REEs (Long et al., 2010). However, various other commodities have been exploited from such rocks, such as niobium, phosphate, titanium, vermiculite, barite, fluorite, copper, calcite, and zirconium. Other enrichments include manganese, strontium, tantalum, thorium, vanadium, and uranium (Verplanck & Van Gosen, 2011).

Mafic-Ultramafic intrusion-hosted Cu-Ni-PGM mineral system

Mafic-ultramafic intrusion-hosted Cu-Ni-PGM deposits range in age from Archean to Tertiary (mainly Archean and Proterozoic in Ontario), are stratabound, and host copper, nickel and/or platinum-group sulphides. These deposits generally occur in two types of cratonic settings: (1) as complexes related to flood basalts in an intracontinental rift environment and (2) as large strataform complexes, either sheet-like or dyke-like (Vaillancourt et al., 2024). Host rocks include (commonly layered) norite, gabbro, quartz diorite, pyroxenite, amphibolite, diabase, peridotite, anorthosite, dunite, troctolite and harzburgite (Carey, 2013).

The principal mineralogy includes pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, cubanite, and millerite; other minerals may include pyrite, marcasite, valleriite, bornite, cobalt sulphides and sphalerite. Platinum group minerals may include sulphides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides and alloys. Generally, the more mafic the composition of the rock is, the higher the Ni/Cu ratio. The texture and style of the mineralisation are typically disseminated, net textured, sulphide matrix breccia and massive sulphides that occur as stratabound to stratiform, tabular layers or lenses. The ore minerals are commonly located at or near the base of the host intrusion, and sulphide veins and disseminations usually occur in the footwall rocks. PGMrich horizons generally occur at a significant distance above the base of the intrusion (Carey, 2013).

The Nagagami River (1&2), Albany, and Fintry Alkalic Complexes form part of the “Arc of Fire”, which consists of several large multi-phased, mafic-ultramafic-alkalic complexes forming an arc line approximately 150 km long. Nagagami shows similarities to the MCR-related Coldwell Complex on the north shore of Lake Superior. The MCR is a known deep-seated structural environment that hosts several significant mineral deposits around Lake Superior, including Rio Tinto’s Eagle and Tamarack Cu-Ni deposits and Magma’s TBN PGM deposit. Rifting environments worldwide host many large mineral deposits due to tapping the copper-nickel-rich mantle through the structural conduits and traps for metal transport and deposit (Miller et al., 2013).

Albany Intrusive Complex and Graphite Deposit

The low-grade, breccia-hosted Albany graphite deposit contains NI43-101 estimated Indicated Mineral Resources totaling 24.3 million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 3.98 % Cg, containing 968,000 tonnes of Cg. In addition, Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated to total 16.9 Mt at an average grade of 2.64 % Cg, containing 445,000 tonnes of Cg (RPA,2015).

The graphite-hosting rocks of the Albany complex vary from quartz syenite to diorite to nepheline syenite, with quartz monzonite predominating (Conly & Moore, 2015). In contrast, the NRAC consists of fine- to coarse-grained amphibole-pyroxene syenite, lesser coarse-grained nepheline-bearing syenite, pegmatitic syenite, and minor granite (Sage, 1988a). The deposit was discovered following an airborne VTEM survey and subsequent exploration diamond drilling of nickel-copper-platinum group minerals targets (Legault et al., 2015; Conly & Moore, 2015). The current genetic model for the Albany deposit suggests that the East and West breccia pipes were emplaced violently within a hypabyssal environment by magmatic-hydrothermal activity and in response to a large-scale depressurisation event (Greco, 2017). The Albany deposit is one of the world's largest known hydrothermal graphite deposits. Hydrothermal graphite is the purest, but also the rarest, form of graphite (Conly & Moore, 2015).

Matteo (2019) has established that the Albany graphite deposit sits directly on the Nagagami River Alkalic Complex’s southern margin and that the mineralised pipes are formed from the NRAC’s parent magma. He concludes that the Albany Alkalic Complex, forms as part of the NRAC, hosts the Albany deposit.

Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) and iron oxide-apatite (IOA) mineral system

Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) and iron oxide-apatite (IOA) are two significant deposit types with similar tectonic settings and hydrothermal alteration characteristics. The deposit types are commonly spatially and temporally associated with one another and with coeval magmatism, reflecting a continuum produced by a combination of igneous and magmatic-hydrothermal processes. IOCG-IOA deposits are significant Fe, Cu, PGE, and Au sources. Magnetite is the modally dominant commodity mineral in IOA deposits, whereas magnetite and hematite are predominant in IOCG deposits, with copper sulphides being the primary commodity minerals (Rodriguez-Mustafa et al., 2020). The genesis of IOCG-IOA deposits remains controversial and a subject of significant study. However, metasomatic iron (oxide) and alkali calcic systems, like those studied here, can lead to iron oxide–apatite (IOA), iron oxide copper–gold (IOCG), and their affiliated critical metal deposits. Copper, PGEs, and Au mineralisation have been discovered in the Hecla-Kilmer, Nagagami and Fintry Complexes (see https://www.gtaresources.com/auden specifically for comment on Fintry).

Previous exploration

Due to their circular shape and distinct magnetic expression, many of the Alkalic intrusive complexes, including Nagagami, Albany, and Hecla-Kilmer, were discovered during regional aeromagnetic surveys in the mid-1960s (Satterly, 1970; Sage, 1988a, 1988b, Conly & Moore, 2015). Except for Fintry, the complexes are mostly poorly exposed or unexposed in the glaciated and heavily drift-covered terrane of the James Bay Lowlands. Identification of the Fintry intrusive was confirmed by drilling following later higher resolution heliborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys by GTA Resources (and its subsidiary, Ontario Inc.) between 2008 and 2014 (Cavey, 2008; GTA Resources, 2014).

From 2013 to 2014, GTA Resources (2014) explored the outer ultramafic parts of the Fintry complex for nickel, not REEs. Selected ultramafic samples produced highly elevated results exceeding 1,000 ppm 3TREO (CeO2 + La2O3 + Y2O3) and 5.7 % P2O5 utilising a weak aqua-regia digestion – generally considered unsuitable for REE mineral analysis. For example, Hole CA-14-05 returned 84.1 m @ 565 ppm 3TREO and 3.6 % P2O5 from 25 m, including 1.6 m at 1,006 ppm 3TREO and 5.2 % P2O5 (Figure 10; and Table 9 and Table 10). Only ultramafic rocks were subject to multielement assay. Intersected syenite rocks, the ideal host rock for REE and niobium, were not considered for assay.

1961- 1964: ALGOMA ORE PROPERTIES (Algoma, 1964): Algoma completed magnetic surveying over suspected alkalic complexes in the region. Two holes (A-10-64 and A-11-64) were drilled near the northeast corner of Fintry Township in 1946 (Table 8). The holes intersected syenite, syenitic diorite, and gabbro. Thin section examination of 4 Fintry core samples confirmed the rock types as olivine pyroxenite, nepheline syenite, and pyroxenite. Ten samples were submitted for assay, it is uncertain if they came from these two holes. No significant assays were reported.

1965: SILVER PLACE MINES LIMITED (Elliott Exploration, 1965): Silver Place conducted a ground magnetometer and electromagnetic survey over their 9-claim blocks located in the northeast quadrant of Fintry Township. A conductor approximately 700 feet in length was detected, extending from the property's eastern boundary. Drill testing of this conductor was recommended, however, there is no record of any further work conducted by Silver Place.

1988- 1993: McKINNON PROSPECTING (McKinnon, 1993): McKinnon completed the most significant exploration over recent years. In 1988, a fixed-wing combined geophysical survey (magnetometer and VLF-EM) was carried out over McKinnon claims in Auden Township and the Pitopiko River Area. In 1990, additional fixed-wing airborne surveying (VLF and magnetics) was completed on claims in Auden, Fintry, and areas of the Pitopiko River and Feagan Lake.

(Algoma, 1964, GTA Resources, 2014)

2008: ONTARIO INC. (a subsidiary of GTA Resources) (Cavey, 2008): Flew an airborne Aerotem EM and Magnetic survey over a 15 km long by 5 km wide portion of the Auden Property between Mulloy Road and the Nagagami River. Interpretation of the airborne survey revealed numerous EM conductors. The airborne anomalies were the focus of the 2013-2014 ground truthing program completed by GTA Resources (2014).

Cavey (2008) reported that Draper's petrological studies of the Algoma Ore drill core from hole A-10-64 confirmed the presence of nepheline-bearing syenite and apatite, a dominant REE-phosphate mineral. Having recognised such important hosts of REE mineralisation, it is unclear why Algoma Ore did not consider assaying for REE.

2009: ONTARIO INC. (GTA Resources, 2014): Completed reconnaissance prospecting and a soil survey on a small portion of the Auden property. The soil and prospecting surveys were designed to follow up on the location and nature of historical gold mineralisation. Thick humus, swampy terrain, and poor access hindered the program.

Additional considerations

Nagagami River Alkalic Complex (NRAC) (commentary drawn from the Noble Minerals Exploration Inc. Website: https://insidexploration.com/nagagami-niobium-and-rare-earth-minerals-project-noble-mineralexploration/)

Historically, very little exploration work has been performed on the Nagagami property, apart from some holes drilled in the 1960s by Algoma Ore Properties. However, it is important to note that the holes drilled by Algoma targeted the highly magnetic ring structure wrapped around a low magnetic core as the company sought iron ore, not REEs.

One Algoma drillhole returned anomalous niobium pentoxide from a grab sample of syenite taken at 230 feet (~70 m) downhole. Fluorite and waxy hydronephelite (an alteration form of nepheline) comprising 5-10 % of the rock were reported in one drillhole, indicating that the complex was plausibly a carbonatite.

Nobles’ geologists recognised the similarities between the niobium-producing Niobec Mine in Quebec and the Nagagami complex. Both exhibit a doughnut-shaped structure, with syenitic rocks forming the circular magnetic high and carbonatitic rocks forming the central magnetic low. The central magnetic low at Niobec hosts the niobium and rare earth mineralisation . Drilling supports similar observations at Nagagami.

The Saint-Honoré Alkalic Complex (SHAC) , exploited by Niobec Inc., hosts a niobium deposit and a REE zone in its central portion . The vertical intrusion comprises a carbonatite core surrounded by alkaline silicate rocks. Fenitisation is present in host rocks mainly composed of nepheline syenite and younger alkaline syenite. Hydrothermal fluids are critical in concentrating REE through fine-grained bastnäsite(Ce) mineralisation to create a large deposit (Bedard et al., 2018). In 2011–2012, the REE zone was drilled to a depth of 1250 m, identifying a deeper portion of the REE zone. The Saint-Honoré carbonatite is classified as a world-class deposit, with its total proven and inferred resources estimated at 1058.6 Mt at 1.75 % total rare earth elements (TREE) (Grenier et al., 2013). The REE deposit is hosted in the complex's youngest and most evolved unit: the Fe-carbonatite. The oval-shaped intrusion covers an area of about 15 km² (Bedard et al., 2018).

Hecla-Kilmer Alkalic Complex (HKAC) (commentary drawn from the VR Resources Website; VR Resources, 2024)

Hecla-Kilmer is a large polyphase alkaline intrusive complex with carbonatite approximately 4 – 6 km across. The core of the complex is mostly nepheline syenite and phonolite, surrounded by a myriad of ultra-basic, alkaline and carbonatite intrusive phases, including several porphyritic phases, phoscorite, sovite, ijolite, syenite and olivine gabbro. The HKAC intruded at the intersection between the Kapuskasing Structural Zone and the East Wabigoon and Quetico subprovince boundary.

No comprehensive exploration had been carried out at HKAC, much like Fintry, until recently. The previous drilling in 1970 was conducted before the high-resolution magnetic survey was flown for diamond exploration in the early 1990s and before developing IOCG-IOA mineral deposit models. The five boreholes were aimed at the outer concentric zones of the complex, and all ended at very shallow depths. The intersected hydrothermal breccia, which contained fluorite and sulphide, was not assayed.

VR has intersected mineralised REE intervals with >1 % TREO in 18 of 24 drillholes completed to date. The drilling has confirmed that the lateral and vertical extent of the REE hydrothermal vein breccia and host fenite alteration system is significant. For example, Hole 013 produced 243 m @ 1.01 % TREO, within 461 m of continuous mineralisation @ 0.9 % TREO.

==> picture [596 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

37 | P a g e

The polymetallic nature of mineralisation at HKAC is also important. For example, Hole 10 intersected 0.27 % Nb over 80 metres, which complements the 237 metres @ 0.2 % Nb in Hole 5 from last year. The TREO averaged 0.5 - 0.67 % across both broad intersections and up to 2.3 % locally. Phosphate is abundant and related directly to the REE mineralising process. In Hole 13, phosphate averages 37 % P2O5. The results underscore the volume potential of the polymetallic system at HKAC based simply on the sheer breadth of phosphate intersections containing REE+Nb.

Figure 11 demonstrates the structure and scale of the HKAC with completed drilling.

Exploration potential

The story of exploration for each of the alkalic complexes reviewed here follows a similar pattern. In the 1960s or 1970s, previous explorers, who were generally searching for other commodities such as iron, platinum-group elements, nickel, copper, and gold, drilled a few holes but failed to strike anything significant. Despite recognising the distal alteration of the mineralised complex, they chose to abandon the site. The only exception is the Niobec mine in the Saint-Honoré alkalic complex, which has continuously operated since mining commenced in 1976 (Grenier et al., 2013).

As the demands of new technologies expand the demand for critical minerals, these long-ignored alkalic complexes have received growing attention and are producing results in each case.

The Fintry alkalic complex, like the nearby Albany alkalic complex, is likely to be related to the REE and Nbmineralised NRAC. It comprises similar rocks and alteration and is similar in size and structure to the HKAC and SHAC. The latter hosts a world-class REE resource estimated at 1058.6 Mt at 1.75 % TREE, and the mineralisation extends beyond a vertical depth of 1,250 m (Grenier et al., 2013). Eighteen of 24 drillholes in the former have intersected mineralised REE intervals with > 1 % TREO and produced intersections like the following 243 m @ 1.01 % TREO, within 461 m of continuous mineralisation @ 0.9 % TREO, 0.13 % Nb2O5 including 39 m @ 2.01 % TREO and up to 1.1 g/t Au (VR Resources, 2024).

The strong alignment and close association between the reviewed complexes, including rock types, alteration styles, physical size and internal structure, support Fintry as having the potential to host significant REE and niobium mineralisation.

Table 11 presents an indicative budget for the Fintry REE Project.

EXPLORATION BUDGET

The proposed budget will all be spent on the granted claims across the Projects. The exploration budget will be subject to ongoing modification depending on the results obtained from exploration and development activities as they progress.

Table 12: Proposed Exploration Program and Budget

Activity Breakdown Year 1 Year 2 Total
Fairfield $515,000 $670,000 $1,185,000
Fintry $403,000 $515,000 $918,000
Total $918,000 $1,185,000 $2,103,000

GEOIMPACT considers that the mineral properties are prospective, although subject to varying degrees of risk, and warrant further exploration and development of their mineral potential. The exploration strategy, exploration programs and two-year budget proposed by the Company are considered appropriate and reasonable to achieve their stated objectives considering the mineral potential and status of the Projects. The proposed expenditure is sufficient to meet statutory tenement expenditure requirements for the Projects.

CLAIM SCHEDULE

The present status of the claims is based on information independently verified by GEOIMPACT. The Report has been prepared assuming that the claims are lawfully accessible for evaluation.

A determination of the Status of Tenure is necessary. It must be based on a sufficiently recent inquiry to ensure the information is accurate for the Report. Tenure that is Material must be or recently have been verified independently of the Commissioning Entity. (Adapted from VALMIN Code 2015, Clause 7.2)

The status of the claims has been verified based on a recent independent inquiry of the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development, New Brunswick, and Geology Ontario, Ontario, by Jonathan King, a Competent Person, and Principal Geologist for GEOIMPACT, pursuant to section 7.2 of the Valmin Code, 2015. Based on this inquiry, the claims are believed to be in good standing. Expenditure commitments have been expended in full, and rent payments are current. GEOIMPACT is not aware of any outstanding matters that may affect the prompt conduct of exploration of the projects.

DECLARATIONS, COMPETENCE, and INDEPENDENCE

Relevant codes and guidelines

This Report has been prepared as an Independent Technical Assessment Report in accordance with the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (the “VALMIN Code”, 2015 Edition), which is binding upon Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (“AIG”), as well as the rules and guidelines issued by the ASIC which pertain to Independent Expert Reports (Regulatory Guides RG111 and RG112, March 2011). GEOIMPACT regards guidelines of RG112.31 to comply whereby there are no business or professional relationships or interests, which would affect the expert’s ability to present an unbiased opinion within this report.

Where exploration has been referred to in this report, unless otherwise expressly stated the information was prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC Code” 2012), prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the AusIMM, the AIG and the Minerals Council of Australia.[2]

Sources of Information

The statements and opinion contained in this report are given in good faith and this review is based on information provided by the Company, along with technical reports by previous tenements holders and other relevant published and unpublished data for the area. GEOIMPACT has endeavoured, by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the technical data upon which this report is based. A final draft of this report was provided to the Company, along with a written request to identify any material errors or omissions in the technical information before lodgement.

In compiling this report, GEOIMPACT did not conduct a site visit to the Project areas. Based on its professional knowledge, lack of surface expression of geological attributes, experience, extensive databases and technical reports made available by various Government Agencies, and the early stage of exploration, GEOIMPACT considers that sufficient current information is available to allow an informed appraisal to be made without such a visit.

This Report may contain statements made in or based on statements made in previous geological reports that are publicly available from either a government department or the ASX. These statements are included in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Consents to Statements) Instrument 2016/72 (clauses 6 and 7).[3]

The independent technical assessment report has been compiled based on information available up to and including the date of this report. The information has been evaluated through analysis, enquiry, and review for the purposes of forming an opinion. However, GEOIMPACT does not warrant that its enquiries have identified or verified all the matters that an audit, extensive examination or "due diligence" investigation might disclose.

The Directors

Applyflow Limited (to be renamed “FMR Resources Limited”) Suite 8, 110 Hay Street West Perth WA 6005

Dear Sirs:

Applyflow Limited (to be renamed ‘FMR Resources Ltd’) (the “Company”) – Title Report on Mining Claims

1. Introduction

We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the proposed acquisition of interest in the mining claims in the New Brunswick and Ontario Provinces described in Schedule “A” hereto (the “ Mining Rights ”). The Mining Rights in Ontario are known as the Fintry Project, and the Mining Rights located in New Brunswick are known as the Fairfield Project.

This report has been prepared solely for the benefit of the addressee hereof in connection with the proposed acquisition of Canada Future Metals Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries and lodgement of a prospectus to be prepared by the Company which is anticipated to be filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for a public offer of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the “ Prospectus ”).

Fish Purdy LLP consents to the inclusion of this report in the Prospectus in Section 15 (Independent Solicitor’s Report) in the form and context in which it is included. Except for in connection with the Prospectus, this report may not, in whole or in part, be relied upon by or shown or distributed to any other person. Fish Purdy LLP has not authorized or caused the issue of the Prospectus, and we expressly disclaim and take no responsibility for any other part of the Prospectus.

We have conducted searches and prepared the following report in respect of the Mining Rights. The searches conducted are detailed further below. The list of the Mining Rights attached hereto as Schedule “A” was provided to us by the Company and confirmed by way of the Searches (as defined herein). Outside of the Searches (as defined herein) and certain commercial agreements provided to us by the Company reviewed by us, we have not made any additional investigation or verification of any other mining claims, including any former claims in the event any of the Mining Rights resulted from conversion, substitution or amalgamation. The Mining Rights are located in New Brunswick and Ontario. Our searches in respect of the Mining Rights are limited for the purposes of confirming the existence of the Mining Rights and the identity of the registered holder thereof.

2. Mining Framework in New Brunswick

Mineral Definition and Ownership

As defined under the Mining Act ( New Brunswick ) (the “ NB Mining Act ”), most minerals in New Brunswick are owned by the province of New Brunswick (the “ NB Crown ”); however, some land grants reserved only specific minerals to the NB Crown and therefore other minerals were, in fact, transferred to the grantee.

The NB Mining Act defines a mineral as any natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic substance and such other substances as are prescribed by regulation to be minerals, but does not include: (i) sand, gravel, (ii) ordinary stone, clay or soil unless it is to be used for its chemical or special physical properties, or both, or where it is taken for contained minerals, ordinary stone used for

building or construction, (iii) peat or peat moss, (iv) bituminous shale, oil shale, albertite or intimately associated substances or products derived there from, (v) oil or natural gas, or (vi) such other substances as are prescribed by regulation not to be minerals.

NB Crown-owned minerals are property separate from the soil; that is, a landowner owns the surface rights but does not own minerals unless some minerals were granted with the land and each conveyance since the granting has preserved the ownership of those minerals. By means of the NB Mining Act, New Brunswick makes NB Crown-owned minerals available for exploration and development. Prospectors (persons or companies who hold prospecting licences), holders of mineral claims and holders of mining leases have the right to prospect, explore, mine and produce those minerals, whether they are on crown-owned or privately-owned lands. They also have the right of access to the minerals; however, they are liable for any damage they cause.

All NB Crown-owned minerals are available for prospecting and staking except in: (i) Lands withdrawn from staking for all or certain minerals, e.g., coal and potash are currently withdrawn from prospecting and staking; (ii) Lands already staked or leased; (iii) First Nations Communities (note: minerals in First Nations communities are administered through the Indian Act of Canada); (iv) National and Provincial Parks; (v) Protected Natural Areas (vi) and Military Lands.

Prospecting License and Mineral Claims

A prospecting licence (“ Prospecting License ”) is required to prospect or register mineral claims. Application for a Prospecting License is made through NB e-CLAIMS and is valid for a lifetime. It may be issued to an individual, who is at least 19 years old, to a corporation, or to a partnership. Subject to certain conditions, a prospector may enter, remain and travel upon land and may prospect, register and work on land open for prospecting and registering a mineral claim. The prospector must work in accordance with the NB Mining Act and is liable for any damage he/she caused. A mineral claim can be registered by the holder of a Prospecting License for an initial 12month period and can be renewed for successive one-year periods, subject to payment of applicable fees and meeting all necessary requirements under the NB Mining Act.

A prospector may have with him/her such temporary housing, vehicles, machinery, equipment, supplies and personnel as are necessary to prospect and work in accordance with the act. Temporary housing includes tents and trailers. It does not include a log cabin or other permanent structure. These require a licence to occupy or a lease under the Crown Lands and Forests Act ( New Brunswick ). If asked, a prospector must show his/her licence to an officer appointed under the NB Mining Act, a forest service officer, a peace officer or a landowner upon whose land the prospector has entered or is about to enter. The NB Mining Act is also designed to protect landowners' rights without unduly restricting prospectors' rights or mineral exploration in New Brunswick.

Mining Lease

A holder of mineral claims may apply for and obtain a mining lease for production if the existence, extent and value of an orebody have been determined and a decision to commence production has been made. Production means mining for the purpose of sale, trade, barter or stockpiling.

Before a mining lease is granted a proposed project would be required to obtain a provincial environmental impact assessment (“ EIA ”) determination, at minimum, and could required federal EIA determination and Fisheries authorizations depending on site specifics of the project.

A mining lease will require: (i) submission of a feasibility study including a mining plan and program for protection, reclamation and rehabilitation of the environment; (ii) an environmental impact assessment determination; (iii) an application fee of $500; (iv) proof of surface rights ownership, consent of owner, and consent of municipality or local planning commission if applicable; (v) financial security for reclamation; (vii) a lease boundary survey; and (viii) first year’s lease rental. Mining leases are granted for an initial period of 20 years and can be renewed for successive terms of 20 years, subject to payment of renewal fees and compliance with the terms and conditions of the mining lease and the discretion of the NB Crown.

3. Mining Framework in Ontario

Mineral Definition and Ownership

As defined under the Mining Act ( Ontario ) (the “ ON Mining Act ”), most minerals in Ontario are owned by the province of Ontario (the “ ON Crown ”); however, some land grants reserved only specific minerals to the ON Crown and therefore other minerals were, in fact, transferred to the grantee. In Ontario, there are various forms of land tenure in Ontario, consisting principally of the following: (i) unpatented mining claims; (ii) lease-patented mining claims or mining leases granted by the ON Crown; and (iii) patented mining claims or freehold interests granted by the ON Crown.

The holder of a Prospector's Licence may stake out a mining claim on land that is open for staking and prospect for minerals on any ON Crown lands. The ON Mining Act defines a mineral as all naturally occurring metallic and non-metallic minerals, including coal, salt, quarry and pit material, gold, silver and all rare and precious minerals and metals, but does not include sand, gravel, peat, gas or oil.

All ON Crown-owned minerals are generally available for prospecting and staking, except that no mining claim shall be registered: (i) on any land that is a lot within a registered plan of subdivision; (ii) on any land for which the surface rights have been subdivided, surveyed or sold or otherwise disposed of by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Ontario for summer resort purposes; (iii) on any land that is a residential or cottage lot smaller than one hectare in area; (d) where a residential or cottage lot is one hectare in area or larger, on any land that is, (a) within 100 metres of a residential or cottage dwelling on the lot, and (b) within the property boundary line; (iv) on any land that is railway land, including the station grounds, switching grounds, yard or right-of-way of a railway; (v) on any land that is being used for a natural gas, oil or water pipeline corridor; (g) on any land that is part of an airport; (vi) on any land that is improved municipal land used for public purposes, including public buildings, sports fields, arenas, libraries, parks and skating rinks; (viiii) on any land that contains an artificial reservoir, dam, or any building, structure or lands being used in conjunction with the operation of such artificial reservoir or dam, (ix) on provincial parks, (x) First Nations Communities (note: minerals in First Nations communities are administered through the Indian Act of Canada); (iv) National and Provincial Parks; (xi) and on lands otherwise described in sections 29 – 37 to the ON Mining Act.

Prospecting License and Mineral Claims

A Prospecting License is required to prospect or register mineral claims. Application for a Prospecting License is made through MLAS (as defined below) and is valid for a period if 5 years, which can be renewed subject to paying renewal fees and compliance with the Prospecting License conditions. It may be issued to an individual, who is at least 18 years old, or to a legal person (such as corporations). In order to obtain a Prospecting License, the applicant must complete the Mining Act Awareness Program (MAAP) within 60 days before the day a license is obtained.

A mineral claim can be registered by the holder of a Prospecting Licence for an initial 12-month period and can be renewed for successive one year periods, subject to payment of applicable fees and meeting all necessary requirements under the ON Mining Act.

Mining Lease

A holder of a mineral claim may apply for and obtain a mining lease for production if the existence, extent and value of an orebody have been determined and a decision to commence production has been made.

A mining lease gives the lessee, the right, subject to the terms of the lease, to: (i) extract minerals from the leased area; and (ii) sell the minerals once extracted. The lessee pays rent to the ON Crown.

In order to obtain a mining lease, a claim holder must: (i) perform and report a minimum of 5 units of assessment work for each claim being requested for lease; (ii) submit a notice of intent letter and all necessary supporting information and documents; (iii) submit an application for lease

package containing all necessary supporting documents once we have confirmed that the package may be submitted; and (iii) comply with the ON Mining Act and its regulations to maintain claims in good standing. Mining leases are granted for an initial period of 21years and can be renewed for a further term of 21 years subject to payment of renewal fees and compliance with the terms and conditions of the mining lease and the discretion of the ON Crown.
