This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.

Financial Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Competent Persons statement
The information in the Investment Overview Section of the Prospectus, included at Section 1, the Company and Projects Overview, included at Section 3, and the Independent Geologist’s Report, included at Annexure C of the Prospectus, which relate to exploration targets, exploration results or mineral resources is based on information compiled by Mr Paul Dunbar. Mr Dunbar has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (the JORC Code). Mr Dunbar is a full time employee of Valuation & Resource Management (VRM). VRM consents to the inclusion of the information in these Sections of the Prospectus in the form and context in which it appears.
Continuous disclosure obligations
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page iii
Following admission of the Company to the Official List, the Company will be a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and, as such, will be subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company will be required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Shares.
Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to
Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants will also be managed through disclosure to the ASX. In addition, the Company will post this information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.
Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Electronic sub-registers mean that 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. Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

Letter from the Chairman
Dear Investor
On behalf of the Board of Forrestania Resources Limited ( Company ), I am pleased to present this Prospectus and to invite you to become a Shareholder in the Company.
The Company is a mineral exploration and development company focussed on gold, lithium and nickel discoveries in Western Australia. The purpose of the Offer is to raise $5,000,000 (before costs) for the exploration and development of the Company’s assets and presents investors with the opportunity to become a part of a resultsfocused exploration company where the majority of funds raised are directed towards exploration activities.
The proceeds from the Offer will be utilised to enable the Company to systematically explore across its Projects, including the:
-
Forrestania Gold, Lithium and Nickel Project;
-
Southern Cross Gold Project; and
-
Leonora Gold Project.
Forrestania Gold, Lithium & Nickel Project
The Forrestania Project, located approximately 80km east of Hyden, Western Australia, comprises one (1) Mining Licence, two (2) Prospecting Licences, 11 Exploration Licences and two (2) Exploration Licence Applications covering an area of approximately 623km[2] . Prior exploration over the project area has focussed on gold and nickel, largely in the form of mapping, soil sampling, drilling and geophysical surveys. A Mineral Resource estimate of ~24,000 oz of gold has been reported in accordance with the JORC Code at Lady Lila within the Forrestania Project area.
Southern Cross Gold Project
The Southern Cross Project comprises seven (7) tenements: one (1) Mining Lease, one (1) Exploration Licence, three (3) Exploration Licence Applications and two (2) Prospecting Licences, covering approximately 144km[2] (~32km[2 ] granted). The tenements are disconnected and scattered over a 40km length of the greenstone belt although all tenements are within a 30km radius of the town of Southern Cross, Western Australia.
Leonora Gold Project
The Leonora Project tenements are located within the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt of the Yilgarn Craton. The Project includes one (1) Exploration Licence and five (5) Exploration Licence Applications, covering a total of 853km[2] . The tenements are predominately non-contiguous and scattered over a 200km length of the greenstone belt. The southernmost tenement is approximately 15km southeast of the town of Menzies, and the northern most tenement is located approximately 70km northeast of Leonora. Prior exploration over the Project area has focused on gold, diamonds and uranium. Tenements in the Project have been variably subjected to soil sampling, stream sampling, drilling, mapping, rock chip sampling and geophysical surveys.
This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Offer and the current and proposed operations of the Company, as well as the risks pertaining to an investment in the Company. Potential investors in the Company should carefully consider those risks (detailed in Section 5).
I encourage you to read this Prospectus, request that you consider the risks of investment in Section 5, and invite you to become a Shareholder in the Company, which I believe has great potential to further develop its Projects. We look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder should you decide to take up Shares pursuant to the Offer.
I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which Forrestania Resources will be operating and I would also like to pay my respects to Elders past, present and future.
Yours faithfully
John Hannaford, Chairman

Section 3.1 |
| What are the Company's projects? |

Section 2.20 |

Section 3.4 |
| Summary of key risks | ||
| Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The risk factors set out in Section 5, and other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. This Section summarises the key risks which apply to an investment in the Company and investors should refer to Section 5 for a more detailed summary of the risks. |
||
| Limited history | The Company was incorporated on 12 February 2021 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses. |
Section 5.1(d) |
Page 1
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
| Topic | Summary | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Contractual Risk | The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties, of its obligations under certain agreements (details in Section 6). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to commence legal proceedings to seek a remedy, which can be costly. |
Section 5.1(c) |
| Future capital requirements |
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus. |
Section 5.1(e) |
| Title and Grant risk | The Company is and through Quattro, BA, and Tigers Paw, the registered applicant for tenement applications ELA77/2819, ELA77/2676, ELA77/2830, ELA77/2832, ELA29/1103, ELA29/1118, ELA 39/2222, ELA37/1438, and ELA29/1119. ELA77/2764 has been applied for by West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd (of which the Company may acquire 100% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Western Australian Prospectors Agreement). There is a risk that these applications may not be granted in their entirety or only granted on conditions unacceptable to the Company or that such grant will be delayed. Tenement applications ELA77/2676 and ELA29/1119 are subject to a Mining Act objection. Accordingly, there is a risk that, in the event the objection is not withdrawn, the grant of ELA77/2676 and ELA29/1119 may be delayed or not granted. However, the Company is of the view that these two Tenements (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a beneficial interest in the granted Tenements, which will be transferred to the Company pursuant to the Option Agreements. |
Section 5.1(r) and Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Solicitor's Report (Annexure B to Prospectus) |
| Exploration and development risks |
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. |
Section 5.1(a) |
Page 2
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
| Topic | Summary | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Resource estimation risk |
At present only one of the Projects, being the Lady Lila gold project in the Forrestania Region, hosts a mineral resource. Whilst the Company intends to undertake exploration activities with the aim of defining further resources, no assurances can be given that the exploration will result in the determination of a resource. Even if further resources are identified, no assurance can be provided that this can be economically extracted. |
Section 5.1(n) |
| Native title risk | The Company is aware that all of the Tenements are within the boundaries of various Native Title claims and twelve (12) of the Tenements are subject to the Ballardong People Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA). The Company is yet to fulfil the requirements of the Native Title Act with respect to the pending Tenements. Accordingly, there is a risk that, if negotiations with the relevant native title parties are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the pending Tenements may be delayed, or they may be refused. There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements. |
Section 5.1(s) and Section 7 of the Solicitor's Report (Annexure B to Prospectus) |
| Aboriginal Heritage Risk |
The Company is aware that there are areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on four (4) of the Tenements, which was identified from the Heritage Searches. Accordingly, there is a risk that the existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the location of these sites do not interfere with the Company's proposed exploration activities. There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements which may further preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. |
Section 5.1(t) and Section 6 of the Solicitor's Report in Annexure B |
| Third party risks | Several of the Tenements overlap various pastoral leases and mining tenure (including miscellaneous licences) held by third parties. Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure which overlay areas within the Tenements in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements. |
Section 5.1(u) and Section 4(f) of the Solicitor's Report (Annexure B to Prospectus) |

| Topic | Summary | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Whilst the Company does not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned exploration, there is a risk that any delays or costs in respect of conflicting third- party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas. |
||
| Environmental risk | The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. |
Section 5.1(v) and Section 10 of the Solicitor's Report (Annexure B to Prospectus) |
| Infectious diseases | The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets. The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains. |
Section 5.2(j) |
| General risks | The company is subject various general risks, including the following (among others): (a) economic risk; (b) market conditions risk; (c) force majeure risk; (d) unforeseen expenditure risk; and (e) climate change risk. |

| Total | $5,408,000 | 100% |
| Allocation of funds: | ||
| Exploration expenditure2 | $2,523,000 | 46.6% |
| Vendor Payments(cash)3 | $310,000 | 5.7% |
| Repayment of Loans4 | $164,000 | 3% |
| Directors’ fees | $244,000 | 4.5% |
| Expenses of the Offer5 | $582,000 | 10.7% |
| Unallocated WorkingCapital6 | $1,585,000 | 29.5% |
| Total | $5,408,000 | 100% |
Notes:
-
This amount is the amount of cash held by the Company as at the date of this Prospectus.
-
Exploration expenditure is intended to be allocated in accordance with the budgets outlined in Section 3.5 below and in the Independent Geologist’s Report on the Company’s granted tenements.
-
It is a term of the agreements to acquire certain of the Company’s tenements that it reimburses the relevant vendor for expenditure incurred on the tenements prior to acquisition by the Company. Refer to Section 6.1 for details of the acquisition agreements.
-
The Company has entered into loan agreements with related partis (refer Section 6.4 for details). These funds have been used to meet the initial expenses of the Company and the costs of securing the Company’s assets.
-
Refer to 7.7 for a breakdown of the costs associated with the Offer.
-
Working capital and administration costs include general costs associated with the management and operation of the Company’s business, including administration expenses, management salaries, rent and other associated costs. To the extent that the Company’s exploration activities warrant further exploration, or the Company is presented with additional acquisition opportunities, then working capital will be used to meet those expenses. The Company also notes that in addition to its granted tenements, the Company has additional tenements that remain the subject of application. Where those tenement applications are granted and the Company has the right to conduct exploration on that area, the Company may also utilise working capital to meet the costs of that newly available area.
It is anticipated that the funds raised under the Offer will enable two (2) years of full operations. It should be noted that the Company may not be fully self-funding through its own operational cash flow at the end of this period. Accordingly, the Company may require additional capital beyond this point, which will likely involve the use of additional debt or equity funding. Future capital needs will also depend on the success of the Company’s projects.
Page 11
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
It should be noted that the Company’s budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration and evaluation work carried out. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Company’s Projects, including the granting of tenements which are presently subject to applications. The results obtained from exploration and evaluation programs may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain projects reflecting a change in emphasis.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration 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. The Directors consider that following completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives. It should however be noted that an investment in the Company is speculative and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 5.

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 Offer has any assurance of being allocated all or any Shares applied for. The allocation of Shares by Directors will be influenced by the following factors:

(b) the overall level of demand for the Offer;
-
(c) the desire and need for a spread of investors, including institutional investors; and

Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
(a) Forrestania Gold, Lithium and Nickel Project
The Forrestania Project is located approximately 80 km east of Hyden in Western Australia and comprises one Mining Licence, two Prospecting Licences, 11 Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications that cover an area of approximately 615km[2] (Figure 2). A Mineral Resource estimate has been reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code (JORC) at the Lady Lila Deposit, that lies within the Project area.
The Project area is located within the southern portion of the north-northwest trending Southern Cross-Forrestania Greenstone Belt of the Youanme Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton. The greenstone belt is approximately in 300km strike length and comprises two major geological sequences; a lower mafic-ultramafic sequence containing numerous banded iron formation and chert horizons, and an upper sequence of clastic sedimentary rocks. The arcuate greenstone belt is enclosed by Archaean granitoids and gneisses, and intruded by granite plutons, flat lying pegmatite sills and a series of east-west trending Proterozoic dykes.
The tenements comprising the Forrestania Project are predominately situated within Archean granites, surrounding the Forrestania greenstone belt (FGB), and at the contact between the granites and the FGB.
Existing prospects identified by the current holders of this Project, Firefly, include:
-
Gemcutter;
-
Great Southern;
-
Crossroads;
-
Lady Lila; and
-
Kit Kat.
The Forrestania area is known to contain minimal outcrop and a significant cover of transported material, thus soil sampling and field mapping are unreliable exploration methods. More penetrative means of exploration are required to determine the prospectivity of this project in order to define new targets.
The Company considers the Forrestania Project area hosts the potential for economic lithium, nickel and gold mineralisation, which has not been fully evaluated and substantial additional work to more fully evaluate the Project area is an intention post-Admission.
The Company has defined priority lithium, nickel and gold targets that warrant immediate reverse circulation (RC) drilling and/or deeper sampling to penetrate the transported cover. Statutory clearance from the Department of Mines, Industry and Petroleum is in place and the Company intends to drill its priority areas in September 2021.
Gemcutter
M77/549, which hosts the Gemcutter, and Gem prospects, is the only mining license in the Forrestania Project. The tenement has been the site of mining for artisanal tin, tantalum and rubellite gem crystals hosted in pegmatites and substantial disturbance remains in the form of excavations to 8m deep and waste dumps.
Lithium
During 2016, Firefly (then known as Marindi Metals Limited) identified a pegmatite swarm on the Gemcutter tenement (Marindi, 2017). An 80 by 100 metre spaced soil sampling program across the tenement in the 2016-2017 reporting year subsequently identified a coincident tantalum anomaly (Figure 3).

Figure 2. Forrestania project tenement outline on Google Earth imagery.
Marindi’s maiden RC drilling program, targeting lithium mineralisation, intersected 106m of pegmatite in GPRC06, which was host to significant spodumene and petalite mineralisation with 33m grading 3.2% Li2O from 69m, including 13m grading 4% Li2O from 81m.
A scissor drill hole was drilled and intersected 8m grading 1.2% Li2O, including 4m @ 2.1% Li2O. Pegmatites are observed in two dominant orientations in the FGB:
-
north-west striking bodies, with a dip of 60 degrees to sub vertical to the southwest; and
-
north-south striking bodies, with a shallow dip to the east.

Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Firefly concluded that the full extent of pegmatite mineralisation at Gemcutter had not been tested, but to date no further drilling has been completed.

Nickel
Soil sampling has detected elevated nickel levels in the norther part of M77/549 and one drill hole (GPRC036) intersected 12m grading 1.09% nickel, from 21m, including 2m grading 2.66% Ni (Marindi, 2019).
Notably, the sample is from the upper weathered zone, which may account for the anomalous Ni results, however, further work is required to assess the potential for economic concentrations of nickel sulphide mineralisation in the fresh material. The Company intends undertaking this further work.
The sample location sits within the favourable Eastern Ultramafic Belt (EUB), which hosts the Cosmic Boy and Diggers Rock nickel deposits.
Gold
A 2019 RC drill program completed by Firefly at Gemcutter (Marindi, 2019) identified a gold mineralised sheared contact, with three holes intercepting notable mineralisation. This includes GPRC0041, with 21 metres grading 3.2 grams per tonne gold from 34m, including 3m grading 4.58g/t and 1m grading 33.1g/t gold. Follow up drilling is yet to be completed.
Details of all historical drilling is included in the Independent Geologists’ Report in Annexure C.
Great Southern
The Great Southern prospect (E77/2313) is one of the most actively investigated parts of the Forrestania Project area. The prospect has been sporadically mined for gold over the last 100 years. During the 1980s, production at Great Southern’s open pit is reported as 696 tonnes at 9.32g/t for 6,489g of gold (Figure 4). The project area is situated over the contact of two Archean granites. Two dolerite dykes are interpreted to cut the tenement in northwestsoutheast and east-west directions.
There are several targets defined from a modern Sub Audio Magnetics survey (SAM) at Great Southern that have not been adequately explored. RC drilling, completed prior to the SAM survey predominately appears to have missed the priority targets. Furthermore, target “GS19”, coinciding with anomalous gold samples from a 2019 auger program, is yet to be tested.

Crossroads
The Crossroads prospect is hosted within E77/2348, the second largest of the tenements in the Forrestania Project. The tenement incorporates approximately 40km of granite / FGB contact.
The tenement has been subject to moderate, fragmented levels of historic soil sampling and AC drilling. A soil sampling program by Marindi in 2018 encountered numerous anomalous gold samples, including one at 0.834 g/t gold (Marindi, 2018).
Drilling by Firefly in 2019 discovered approximately 300m strike length of mineralisation from three drill sections, which remains open along strike in both directions. Despite positive alongstrike continuity, the up/down dip continuity remains unclear, with the high-grade intercepts of drill holes being unsupported by surrounding holes. The lack of conclusive up/down dip continuity requires further work to determine if the drill results reflect the nature of mineralisation at the Project as evidenced in the sample drill hole results below.
| Hole ID | Intercept |
|---|---|
| CRRC0001 | 1 m @ 15.70g/t Au from 20 m |
| CRRC0005 | 2 m @ 3.51g/t Au from 23 m, including 1 m @ 6.29g/t Au |
| CRRC0006 | 1 m @ 16.70g/t Au from 73 m |
Significant Intercepts from the Crossroads 2019 Drilling Campaign
Lady Lila
The Lady Lila (formerly Violet Haze) prospect is located within tenements P77/4325 and P77/4326. Lady Lila has a defined Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) reported in accordance with the JORC Code. Tenements E77/2575 and E77/2576 straddle the western granitegreenstone contact of the FGB. The area includes granite, mafic volcanics, komatiite and BIF units.
The Lady Lila gold anomaly, is a linear, discontinuous, 1,400 metre long, N-S trending zone that dips steeply (60-70°) to the east, hosted in narrow quartz stringers enveloped by garnetiferous, graphitic, pelitic sediments. The unit bifurcates in places and accompanies discontinuous chert beds that are not related to mineralisation.
The Lady Lila Deposit was discovered by Sons of Gwalia in the late 1980s, and in 2016, Fortuna SL Mining defined the current inferred MRE, of 541,000 tonnes grading 1.38g/t gold for 24,000 ounces of gold.
| Inferred Mineral | Inferred Mineral | Inferred Mineral |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | ||
| Tonnes | Grade(Goldg/t) | Ounces Gold |
| 541,000 | 1.38 | 24,000 |
Forrestania’s Lady Lila Inferred Mineral Resource (0.5g/t Au cut-off)
The entirety of the MRE sits within the northern of the two tenements (P77/4325) and is comprised of 3 individual lenses reflecting gold mineralisation above a nominal cut-off of 0.5g/t gold. These lenses dip between 75-85 degrees to the east and strike approximately northsouth, forming a discontinuous line of mineralisation. Lenses vary in width from two to five metres, with strike lengths varying between 50-400 metres. Mineralisation extends to depths between 50 and 80 metres below surface, and is open along strike and down dip (Figure 5).

Kit Kat
The prospect is situated on E474/627. Between 2004 and 2014 the area was held by Western Areas Ltd. A detailed 200x40m program of auger soil sampling along the granite-greenstone contact was completed. Results include sporadic 10-55ppb Au assay results. Several geophysical surveys were also completed by Western Areas, including HoistEM, MLEM and aeromagnetics.
An interpreted geological plan and 28 geophysical exploration targets were compiled by Firefly in 2019, of which eight were assigned ‘priority 1’. Several of the priority 1 targets coincide with gold anomalies established from the earlier auger program, whilst being located on or around the interpreted granite-greenstone contact.
Firefly’s subsequent placement of drill holes at the Kit Kat Project in 2019 appear to not have adequately tested the defined targets. The Company has identified new target locations utilizing prospective geology, priority geophysical and strong geochemical anomalies. These targets are a high priority for the Company.

(b) Southern Cross Gold Project
The Southern Cross Gold Project area will be explored for gold and base metal mineralisation within the Southern Cross greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 6). The project comprises five tenements; one Exploration Licence, one Exploration Licence Application, two Prospecting Licences and one Mining Licence, covering 128.8km[2] (~32.2km[2] granted). The tenements are disconnected and scattered over a 40km length of the greenstone belt. All tenements are within 30 km radius of the town of Southern Cross, Western Australia,
The tenements of the project are located in and around the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, which extends along strike for approximately 300km from Mt Jackson to Hatters Hill in the south.
The belt is divided into an upper and lower greenstone sequence, separated by a major unconformity. It is a strongly deformed, metamorphosed, synformal remnant of a once larger greenstone assemblage that has been shaped and attenuated by the emplacement of domal, syn-tectonic granitoids including the Ghooli, Parker and Rankin Domes.
Regionally, sheared lithological contacts are the primary control on the distribution of gold mineralisation, with the majority of the belt’s production derived from shear-hosted deposits (e.g., Marvel Loch, Yilgarn Star and Frasers). Shear zone-hosted deposits generally occur near or along lithological contacts within broad, ductile shear zones that are commonly much wider than the zone of mineralisation. These deposits contain single or multi-sheeted lodes, which parallel the stratigraphy and generally plunge parallel to the mineral lineation.
Less common fold hinge deposits, usually in Banded Iron Formation (e.g., Copperhead, Golden Pig and Bounty) also host gold mineralisation in the belt. They generally consist of thin stockwork veins sub-parallel to the fold hinges.
Major gold deposits are quartz-sulphide lodes in shear zones and sheared lithological contacts with variable biotite-carbonate-silica diopside alteration and varying degrees of gold mineralisation in the altered wall rocks. Dominant sulphide minerals associated with gold ores of the district are pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite as well as sporadic galena and scheelite. Gold occurs as free particles and as inclusions in pyrite and arsenopyrite.
It is the Company’s opinion that potential for economic gold mineralisation at the Southern Cross Project has not been fully evaluated. The tenements are situated on Archean granites and Southern Cross greenstone belt rocks. The region has been historically explored with a focus on the greenstone belt.
In addition to greenstone shear-hosted gold deposits, Forrestania is targeting granite-hosted deposits. New geological models for late Archean granite-controlled shear zone/fault hosted mineralisation theorise that gold forming fluids, formed at deep crustal levels do not discriminate between lithologies when emplaced in the upper crust. Applying this theory, Forrestania have defined seven new targets.
Refer to Annexure C, Section 4.6, for further details of the exploration potential at the Southern Cross Project

Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
The Company has used a number of best practice new granite-hosted exploration models at its Leonora Project to generate a number of new gold targets.
Traditionally, gold exploration has been focussed on rocks of the greenstone belts. The Leonora tenements have therefore not seen any significant gold exploration. Recent discoveries in the Yilgarn Craton have highlighted the potential of Archaean granites to be prospective for economic deposits of gold. New geological models for late Archean granitecontrolled shear zone/fault hosted mineralisation theorise that gold forming fluids, formed at deep crustal levels do not discriminate between lithologies when emplaced in the upper crust, thus opening geological domains for exploration that were not previously thought to be prospective.

4.8 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations
The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company's policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.
To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted the 4[th] edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).
In light of the Company's size and nature, the Board considers that the current Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed below. The Company's full Corporate Governance Plan is available in a dedicated corporate governance information section of the Company's website at www.forrestaniaresources.com.au .
(a) Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. Clearly articulating the division of responsibilities between the Board and management will help manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings about their respective roles and accountabilities.
In general, the Board assumes (amongst others) the following responsibilities:
-
(i) providing leadership and setting the strategic objectives of the Company;
-
(ii) appointing and when necessary, replacing the Executive Directors;
-
(iii) approving the appointment and when necessary, replacement of other senior executives;
-
(iv) undertaking appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a Director;
-
(v) overseeing management's implementation of the Company's strategic objectives and its performance generally;
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 36
-
(vi) approving operating budgets and major capital expenditure;
-
(vii) overseeing the integrity of the Company's accounting and corporate reporting systems including the external audit;
-
(viii) overseeing the Company's process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all material information concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities;
-
(ix) ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate risk management framework and setting the risk appetite within which the Board expects management to operate; and
-
(x) monitoring the effectiveness of the Company's governance practices.
The Company is committed to ensuring that appropriate checks are undertaken before the appointment of a Director and has in place written agreements with each Director which detail the terms of their appointment.
(b) Composition of the Board
Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. The Board currently consists of the three Non-Executive Directors (one of whom, Mr Higgins, the Company considers independent). As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the composition of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
(c)
Identification and management of risk
The Board's collective experience will assist in the identification of the principal risks that may affect the Company's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.
(d) Ethical standards
The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
(e) Independent professional advice
Subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.
(f) Remuneration arrangements
The remuneration of any Executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected Executive Director participating in that decision-making process.
In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director (eg non-cash performance incentives such as options).
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by them in the course of the performance of their duties as Directors.
The Board reviews and approves the Company's remuneration policy in order to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain executives and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, having regard to the amount considered to be
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 37
commensurate for an entity of the Company's size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.
The Board is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total payments proposed.
(g) Securities trading policy
The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (ie Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the Executive Directors). The policy generally provides that the written acknowledgement of the Chairman (or the Board in the case of the Chairman) must be obtained prior to trading.
(h) Diversity policy
The Board values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation's ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly, the Company has set in place a diversity policy. This policy outlines the Company's diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company's progress in achieving them.
(i) Audit and risk
The Company has constituted an audit and risk committee with the two non-executive Directors as its committee members. This committee will carry out the duties assigned under the written terms of reference for that committee, including but not limited to, monitoring and reviewing any matters of significance affecting financial reporting and compliance, the integrity of the financial reporting of the Company, the Company's internal financial control system and risk management systems and the external audit function.
(j) External audit
The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.
(k)
Social media policy
The Board has adopted a social media policy to regulate the use of social media by people associated with the Company or its subsidiaries to preserve the Company's reputation and integrity. The policy outlines requirements for compliance with confidentiality, governance, legal, privacy and regulatory parameters when using social media to conduct Company business.
(l)
Whistleblower policy
The Board has adopted a whistleblower protection policy to ensure concerns regarding unacceptable conduct including breaches of the Company's code of conduct can be raised on a confidential basis, without fear of reprisal, dismissal or discriminatory treatment. The purpose of this policy is to promote responsible whistle blowing about issues where the interests of others, including the public, or of the organisation itself are at risk.
(m) Anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy
The Board has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all business dealings. The Board
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 38
has adopted an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy for the purpose of setting out the responsibilities in observing and upholding the Company's position on bribery and corruption provide information and guidance to those working for the Company on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
4.9 Departures from Recommendations
Following admission to the Official List, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.
The Company's compliance and departures from the Recommendations as at the date of this Prospectus are detailed in the table below.
| Principles and Recommendations |
Explanation for Departures |
|---|---|
| Recommendation 1.5 Diversity Policy |
While the Company is committed to workforce diversity, the Board believes that with its scale of activities and relatively small number of employees, it is not appropriate in the Company’s current circumstances that the Board set and disclose measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity; and annually assess objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them. |
| Recommendation 2.1 Nomination Committee |
The Company will not have a separate Nomination Committee until such time as the Board is of sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee. |
| Recommendation 2.4 Majority of Independent Directors on the Board |
The Company does not currently have a majority of independent directors on the Board. Two of the non- executive directors of the Board are not considered to be independent due to their equity interest in the Company being greater than 5%. This is not considered unreasonable due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations. |
| Recommendation 2.5 Chair should be an Independent Director (and not the CEO) |
The Chair of the Company is not currently considered an independent Director due to his equity interest in the Company being greater than 5%. The Board does not have an independent Chair because, at this stage in the Company's development, John Hannaford is considered best placed to fulfil this role. The Board will, as necessary, consider the appointment of an independent director who can fulfil the role in the event the Chair is conflicted. |

Page 39
| Principles and Recommendations |
Explanation for Departures |
|---|---|
| Recommendation 4.1 and 7.1 Audit Committee and Risk Committee |
The Company has a separate audit and risk committee. Committee members are the two non-executive directors of the Board and they are not independent. The Board may as necessary, at a time when the Company’s operations are of a sufficient number and magnitude to be of benefit to the Company, consider the appointment of independent directors who can be added to the committee and fulfil the independent role required under the Recommendations. In the meantime, the committee will carry out the duties under the written terms of reference. |
| Recommendation 7.3 Internal Audit Function |
The Company will not have an internal audit function until the Company’s operations are of a sufficient number and magnitude to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, senior management with the involvement and oversight of the full Board will carry out the duties that would be ordinarily assigned to that function. |
| Recommendation 8.1 Remuneration Committee |
The Company will not have a separate remuneration committee until such time as the Board is of sufficient size and structure, and the Company’s operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company. In the meantime, the full Board will carry out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee under the written terms of reference for that committee. |

5. Risk Factors
As with any share investment, there are risks involved. 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 potential risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under the Offer.
Any investment in the Company under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
5.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Exploration and development risks
Mineral exploration and development is a high-risk undertaking. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Projects or any other exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource.
Exploration in terrains with existing mineralisation endowments and known occurrences may slightly mitigate this risk. In respect of the Projects, the reliability of the data used to produce the Independent Geologist's Report in this regard is limited as it is historical in nature and could not be independently verified by the Independent Geologist.
Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited due to various issues including lack of ongoing funding, adverse government policy, geological conditions, commodity prices or other technical difficulties.
The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its Projects and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs are unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its Projects, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of part or all of its Projects
(b)
Conditionality of Offer
The obligation of the Company to issue the Shares under the Offer is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set out in Section 2.2. If those conditions are not satisfied, the Company will not proceed with the Offer and no Shares will be issued under this Prospectus.
(c)
Contractual risk
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives may be materially affected by the performance by the parties of its obligations under certain agreements (details in Section 6.1). If any party defaults in the performance of its obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly. As noted in Section 6.1(a), the Firefly Agreement option has an expiry date of 17 September 2021. Completion of the acquisition is subject to and conditional upon
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 41
the Company receiving a letter from ASX granting conditional approval for the admission of the Company to the official list of ASX.
(d) Limited history
The Company was incorporated on 12 February 2021 and therefore has limited operational and financial history on which to evaluate its business and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of their development, particularly in the mineral exploration sector, which has a high level of inherent risk and uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration on, or mining development of, the Projects. Until the Company is able to realise value from the Projects, it is likely to incur operational losses.
(e)
Future capital requirements
The Company has no operating revenue and is unlikely to generate any operating revenue unless and until the Projects or any one of them are successfully developed and production commences. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. The Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities, exploration program and other Company objectives in the short term as stated in this Prospectus.
In order to successfully develop the Projects and for production to commence, the Company will likely require further financing in the future, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offer. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price (or Offer Price) or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities or the registering of security interests over the Company's assets.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital should be able to be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities including resulting in the Tenements 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.
(f)
Agents and Contractors
The Company intends to outsource substantial parts of its exploration activities pursuant to services contracts with third-party contractors. The Company is yet to enter into these formal arrangements. The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default of the insolvency of any of the contractors that will be used by the Company in any of its activities or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity. Contractors may also underperform their obligations of their contract, and in the event that their contract is terminated, the Company may not be able to find a suitable replacement on satisfactory terms.
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 42
(g) Potential for dilution
On completion of the Offer and the subsequent issue of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 26,000,000 to 51,000,000. This means the number of Shares on issue will increase by approximately 100% on completion of the Offer. On this basis, existing Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the 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 Prospectus).
(h)
New projects and acquisitions
The Company will actively pursue and assess other new business opportunities in the resources sector. These new business opportunities may take the form of direct project acquisitions, joint ventures, farm-ins, acquisition of tenements/permits, and/or direct equity participation.
Some but not all Projects are currently the subject of negotiation to acquire with third parties and there is no guarantee that the negotiations with the third parties will be successful nor that the Company will enter into and/or acquire interests in the Projects.
The acquisition of projects (whether completed or not) may require the payment of monies (as a deposit and/or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence or prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence. There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition will be completed or be successful. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, monies advanced may not be recoverable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If an acquisition is completed, the Directors will need to reassess at that time, the funding allocated to current Projects and new projects, which may result in the Company reallocating funds from the Projects and/or raising additional capital (if available). Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the usual risks associated with the new project/business activities will remain.
(i)
Liquidity risk
At Admission, the Company expects to have 51,000,000 Shares on issue. The Company expects approximately 11,950,000 Shares to be subject to 24 months escrow and 11,000,000 Shares subject to 12 months escrow in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, which would be equal to approximately 45% of the Company’s issued capital. This creates a liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be freely tradable for a period of time. The ability of an investor in the Company to sell their Shares on the ASX will depend on the turnover or liquidity of the Shares at the time of sale. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Shares at the time, in the volumes or at the price they desire.
(j)
Crown Land
The land subject to the Tenements overlaps with Crown land, including pastoral leases. Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company may need to consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court determines compensation payable. The entry into these agreements may delay the undertaking of activities, including the development of any future mines, and may mean that the
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 43
Company cannot explore all areas that it may prefer to explore for mineral development.
(k)
Title and grant risk
The Company is, and through Quattro, BA, and Tigers Paw, the registered applicant for tenement applications ELA77/2819, ELA77/2676, ELA77/2830, ELA77/2832, ELA29/1103, ELA29/1118, ELA 39/2222, ELA37/1438, and ELA29/1119. ELA77/2764 has been applied for by West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd (of which the Company may acquire 100% legal and beneficial interest in pursuant to the Western Australian Prospectors Agreement). These applications must be granted and, if applicable, subsequently transferred to the Company, before the Company may acquire a legal and beneficial interest in those Tenements.
Tenement application ELA29/1119 is subject to Mining Act objections. In the event the objections are not withdrawn or the objections are upheld by the courts, the grant of ELA29/1119 will be delayed or not granted. However, the Company is of the view that this Tenement (if not granted) will not have a material impact on its planned exploration program.
There can be no guarantee that the tenement applications will be granted, or if they are granted, that they will be granted in their entirety. If the tenement applications are not granted, the Company will not acquire an interest in these tenements. The tenement applications therefore should not be considered as assets or projects of the Company. Unless and until these tenements are granted and transferred to the Company, the Company has limited rights and can undertake only preliminary exploration work on those tenements.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has a beneficial interest in the granted Tenements, which will be transferred to the Company pursuant to the Option Agreements. Certain tenements may be subject to ministerial approval before they can be transferred to the Company.
Interests in all tenements in Western Australia are governed by state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licenses or leases. Each license or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could be exposed to additional costs, have its ability to explore or mine the Tenements reduced or lose title to or its interest in the Tenements if license conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.
(l)
Operating risk
There are significant risks in developing a mine and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve economic production from any of the Tenements. In addition, the operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its Projects. Unless and until the Company is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 44
(m) Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process that is required to liberate economic minerals and produce a saleable product and by nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
(n) Resource estimation risks
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.
(o)
Payment obligations
Pursuant to the licences comprising the Company's Projects, the Company will become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, holders are required to expend the funds necessary to meet the minimum work commitments attaching to the Tenements. Failure to meet these work commitments may render the Tenements subject to forfeiture or result in the holders being liable for fees. Further, if any contractual obligations are not complied with when due, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to other parties, this could result in dilution or forfeiture of the Company's interest in the Projects. Further details of these conditions and obligations are set out in section 5 and Schedule 1 of the Solicitor's Report (Annexure B).
(p)
Metals and currency price volatility
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. It is anticipated that any revenues derived from mining will primarily be derived from the sale of gold and other metals. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of gold and other mined commodities 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. These variables include world demand for metals that may be mined commercially in the future from the Company's project areas, technological advancements, forward selling activities and production cost levels in major mineralproducing regions. 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.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 45
the Australian dollar as determined in international markets, which could have a material 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.
(q)
Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition, including major mineral exploration and production companies. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's Projects and business.
Some of the Company's competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities or technical staff. Many of the Company's competitors not only explore for and produce minerals, but also carry out refining operations and other products on a worldwide basis. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with these companies.
(r)
Tenure and land 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. Minerals 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 tenements.
As the Company's rights in the Tenements may be obtained by grant by regulatory authorities or be subject to contracts with third parties, any third party may terminate or rescind the relevant agreement whether lawfully or not and, accordingly, the Company may lose its rights to exclusive use of, and access to any, or all, of the Tenements. Third parties may also default on their obligations under the contracts which may lead to termination of the contracts. Additionally, the Company may not be able to access the Tenements due to natural disasters or adverse weather conditions, political unrest, hostilities or failure to obtain the relevant approvals and consents.
(s)
Native title risks
The Company is aware that all of the Tenements are within the boundaries of various Native Title claims and twelve (12) of the Tenements are subject to the Ballardong People Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA). For further information, please refer to Section 7 of the Solicitor’s Report (Annexure B).
Accordingly, there is a risk that, if negotiations with the relevant native title parties are not progressed in a timely manner, or are unsuccessful, the grant of the pending Tenements may be delayed or they may be refused.
There remains a risk that in the future, native title and/or registered native title claims may affect the land the subject of the Tenements or in the vicinity of the Tenements.
The existence of native title claims over the area covered by the Tenements, or a subsequent determination of native title over the area, will not impact the rights or interests of the holder under the Tenements provided the Tenements have been validly granted in accordance with the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( Native Title Act ).
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 46
However, if any Tenement was not validly granted in compliance with the Native Title Act, this may have an adverse impact on the Company's activities.
The grant of any future tenure to the Company over areas that are covered by registered claims or determinations will likely require engagement with the relevant claimants or native title holders (as relevant) in accordance with the Native Title Act.
(t)
Aboriginal Heritage Risk
The Company is aware that there are areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on four (4) of the Tenements, which was identified from the Heritage Searches. For further information, please refer to Section 6 of the Solicitor’s Report (Annexure B).
Accordingly, there is a risk that The existence of such sites may preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements. However, the location of these sites do not interfere with the Company's proposed exploration activities.
There remains a risk that additional Aboriginal sites may exist on the land the subject of the Tenements. The existence of such sites may further preclude or limit mining activities in certain areas of the Tenements.
(u)
Third party risks
Several of the Tenements overlap various pastoral leases and some of the Tenements overlap a petroleum exploration permit. overlap mining tenure (including miscellaneous licences) held by third parties. For further information, please refer to sections 4(f) of the Solicitor's Report.
Under Western Australian and Commonwealth legislation, the Company may be required to obtain the consent of and/or pay compensation to the holders of third-party interests which overlay areas within the Tenements, including pastoral leases, petroleum tenure and other mining tenure in respect of exploration or mining activities on the Tenements.
Whilst the Company does not presently consider this to be a material risk to its planned exploration, there is a risk that any delays in respect of conflicting third-party rights, obtaining necessary consents, or compensation obligations, may adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities within the affected areas.
(v)
Environmental risk
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company's intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable mineral deposits.
Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Government authorities may, from time to time, review the environmental bonds that are placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 47
imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding needs of the Company.
Tenement E77/2348 encroach an ‘A’ Class Flora and Fauna Reserve and Tenements ELA77/2832, ELA77/2676, ELA77/2830 and E77/2364 encroach two 'C' Class Flora and Fauna Reserves which may require additional consents and approvals prior to conducting activities on the reserves. For further information, please refer to section 10 of the Solicitor's Report.
Tenement ELA 77/2676 encroaches a proposed state forest, which may require additional approvals or plans to be implemented by the Company prior to the grant of the Tenement, which may result in delays in the grant. Any further required consents or approvals that may be required in the event the Company proposes to undertake activities in these areas will be assessed by the Company before any exploration expenditure is committed. For further information, please refer to section 10 of the Solicitor's Report.
Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
(w)
Licences, permits and approvals
On completion of the Option Agreements, the Company will hold all material authorisations required to undertake the exploration programs described in this Prospectus. However, many of the mineral rights and interests to be held by the Company are subject to the need for ongoing or new government approvals, licences and permits. These requirements, including work permits and environmental approvals, will change as the Company's operations develop. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required authorisations may significantly impact on the Company's operations.
(x)
Reliance on key personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants, including members of the Board. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company.
It may be particularly difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people given the current high demand in the industry and relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants.
(y) Conflicts of interest
Certain Directors are also directors and officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration and development and mineral property acquisitions. Accordingly, mineral exploration opportunities or prospects of which these Directors become aware may not necessarily be made available to the Company in the first instance. Although these Directors have been advised of their fiduciary duties to the situations that could arise in which their obligations to, or interests in, the Company, there exists actual and potential conflicts of interest among these persons.
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 48
5.2 General Risks
(a) Economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
As with any exploration or mining project, the economics are sensitive to metal and commodity prices. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for minerals, technological advances, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors. These prices may fluctuate to a level where the proposed mining operations are not profitable. Should the Company achieve success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities also exposes potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.
(b)
Market conditions
The market price of the Shares can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's quoted Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital;
-
(vi) the impact of environmental, social and governance issues relating to the Company’s activities; and
-
(vii) terrorism or other hostilities.
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) Force majeure
The Company's Projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes.
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 49
(d) Government and legal risk
Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and its Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability as well as the Company's capacity to explore and mine.
The Company is not aware of any reviews or changes that would affect the Projects. However, changes in community attitudes on matters such as taxation, competition policy and environmental issues may bring about reviews and possibly changes in government policies. There is a risk that such changes may affect the Company's development plans or its rights and obligations in respect of its Projects. Any such government action may also require increased capital or operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.
(e)
Litigation risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(f)
Insurance risks
The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.
(g)
Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus.
(h) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.
(i)
Climate change risks
Climate change is a risk the Company has considered, particularly related to its operations in the mining industry. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 50
-
(i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and
-
(ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.
(j) Infectious diseases
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is having a material effect on global economic markets. The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has had and may continue to have a significant impact on capital markets.
The Company's Share price may be adversely affected by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further measures to limit the transmission of the virus implemented by governments around the world (such as travel bans and quarantining) may adversely impact the Company's operations and may interrupt the Company carrying out its contractual obligations or cause disruptions to supply chains.
5.3 Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

Page 70
-
(d) The consideration to be satisfied by the Company pursuant to the Firefly Agreement are set out in Section 6.1(a).

(g) The Company considers that the Performance Securities are fair and reasonable, including because there is an appropriate link between the Milestone and the purpose for which the Performance Securities are to be issued, as:
-
(i) consistent with Guidance Note 19, performance securities are sometimes issued to a vendor selling an asset as a form of contingent deferred consideration where the value of the asset being sold may vary materially depending on whether the relevant performance milestone is achieved;
-
(ii) as stated above, the Performance Securities will be issued to the select vendors to limit upfront dilution to shareholders and provide an instrument which hedges the Company's initial exposure to unproven assets; and

-
(h) The number of Performance Securities to be issued has been determined on a dollar value attributed by the Company to the Firefly Tenements. The Company considers the floor price of $0.20, being the offer price pursuant to the Offer, is appropriate in the circumstances. No Performance Securities are being issued to a party that does not have an interest in the assets.
-
(i) The Performance Securities will convert into 2,500,000 Shares upon satisfaction of the Milestone and (assuming no other Shares are issued and the $0.20 floor price applies) will comprise approximately 4.9% of the Shares on issue.

Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
- (i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
(j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
(k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 73
Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share or Convertible Security is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, where a Plan Share or Convertible Security is issued in reliance on the Company satisfying the start-up company requirements in section 83A-33 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (Tax Act), a legal or a beneficial interest in the Convertible Security may not be disposed of until the earlier of:
-
(i) the Eligible Participant to whom the Convertible Securities were offered under an invitation becoming neither an employee nor a director of the Company;
-
(ii) three (3) years after the acquisition date of the Convertible Security;
-
(iii) a disposal under an arrangement which meets the requirements in section 83A-130 of the Tax Act;
-
(iv) such time as the Commissioner of Taxation allows in accordance with section 83A-45(5) of the Tax Act; and
-
(v) the Board determines that the Commissioner of Taxation is reasonably likely to allow a disposal of the Convertible Security under section 83A45(5) of the Tax Act
-
(o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Prospectus - Forrestania Resources 19 08 21(2734824.9) V5.5 (FINAL)
Page 74
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
(p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
(q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- (r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

The Directors Forrestania Resources Limited Suite 2 38 Colin Street West Perth WA 6005
Dear Board of Directors
Independent Limited Assurance Report on Forrestania Resources Limited Historical and Pro forma Financial Information
We have been engaged by Forrestania Resources Limited (“Forrestania” or “the Company”) to prepare this Independent Limited Assurance Report (“Report”) in relation to certain financial information of Forrestania for inclusion in the Prospectus.
The Prospectus (or “the document”) is issued for the purposes of raising $5,000,000 before associated costs; to assist the Company to meet the requirements for listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).
Broadly, the Prospectus will raise $5,000,000 through the issue of 25,000,000 Ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per Share.
Expressions and terms defined in the document have the same meaning in this Report. This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Scope
You have requested Hall Chadwick to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro forma historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
==> picture [593 x 68] intentionally omitted <==
Independent Limited Assurance Report Forrestania Resources Limited

The historical Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended 30 April 2021 for Forrestania Resources Limited
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principals contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the company’s adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information of Forrestania has been extracted from the reviewed historical financial statements for 30 April 2021, which were reviewed by Hall Chadwick in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. An unqualified review conclusion was issued for 30 April 2021 with material uncertainty surrounding the ability of the entity to continue as a going concern.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested Hall Chadwick to review the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 April 2021 referred to as “the pro forma historical financial information.”
The pro forma historical financial information has been derived from the historical financial information of Forrestania, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in note 2 of Attachment 1 of this Annexure A – Independent Limited Assurance Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in note 2 of Attachment 1 of this Annexure A – Independent Limited Assurance Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the pro forma historical financial information does not represent the company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The pro-forma historical financial information has been prepared by adjusting the statement of financial position of Forrestania as at 30 April 2021 to reflect the financial effects of the following subsequent events which have occurred in the period since 30 April 2021:
- (a) The payment of initial exploration agreement option fees amounting to $45,000.

This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and / or Prospective Financial Information .
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

7 Notes to and Forming Part of the Historical Financial Information
Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro-forma Historical Statement of Financial Position are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements for the period ending 30 April 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This financial report also complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
These condensed interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
The financial report has been prepared on a historical costs basis and has been presented in Australian Dollars (AUD) rounded to the nearest AUD1 unless otherwise stated.
(b) Going Concern
The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the Public Offer. The Directors believe that the entity will continue as a going concern. As a result, the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However, should the Public Offer be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
(c) Revenue recognition
(i) 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.
Page 13
Independent Limited Assurance Report Forrestania Resources Limited
(ii) Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include 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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(e) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
(g) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company 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.
(h) 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.
Page 14
Independent Limited Assurance Report Forrestania Resources Limited
(i) Equity-settled compensation
The Company operates an employee share and option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. The fair value of performance right options is determined using the satisfaction of certain performance criteria (Performance Milestones). The number of shares option and performance rights expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. The fair value is determined using either a black-scholes or monte-carlo simulation model depending on the type of share-based payment
(j) 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.
Cash flows are reported 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.

Dear Directors
SOLICITOR’S REPORT ON TENEMENTS
This Report is prepared for inclusion in a prospectus for the initial public offer by Forrestania Resources Limited (ACN 647 899 698) (the Company ) of 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.20 per Share to raise $5,000,000 ( Prospectus ).
1. SCOPE
We have been requested to report on certain mining tenements in which the Company has or will acquire an interest, all of which are located in Western Australia (the Tenements ). A full list of the Tenements, including details of the non-standard conditions relating to the Tenements, are set out in Schedule 1 of this Report.
This Report is limited to the Searches as set out in Section 2 of this Report.
2. SEARCHES
For the purposes of this Report, we have conducted searches and made enquiries in respect of all of the Tenements as follows ( Searches ):
- (a) we have obtained mining tenement register searches of the Tenements from the registers maintained by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ( DMIRS ) ( Tenement Searches ). These searches were conducted on 16 July 2021 and updated on 19 August 2021. Key details on the status of the Tenements are set out in Schedule 1 of this Report;
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 2
-
(b) we have obtained results of searches of the schedule of native title applications, register of native title claims, national native title register, register of indigenous land use agreements and national land use agreements as maintained by the National Native Title Tribunal ( NNTT ) for any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and indigenous land use agreements ( ILUAs ) that overlap or apply to the Tenements. This material was obtained on 20 July 2021. Details of any native title claims (registered or unregistered), native title determinations and ILUAs are set out in Section 7 of this Report and Schedule 2 of this Report;
-
(c) we have obtained searches from the online Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System maintained by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage ( DPLH ) for any Aboriginal sites registered on the Western Australian Register of Aboriginal sites over the Tenements ( Heritage Searches ). These searches were conducted on 16 July 2021 and updated on 19 August 2021. Details of any Aboriginal Sites are set out in Schedule 2 of this Report;
-
(d) we have obtained quick appraisal user searches of Tengraph which is maintained by the DMIRS to obtain details of features or interests affecting the Tenements ( Tengraph Searches ). These searches were conducted on 16 July 2021 and updated on 19 August 2021. Details of any material issues identified from the Tengraph Searches are set out in the notes to Schedule 1 of this Report;
-
(e) we have obtained current and historical certificate of title searches, which are maintained by Landgate, to obtain details of the freehold/private land affecting the Tenement ( Landgate Searches ). These searches were conducted on 13[th] August 2021. Details of any material issues identified from the Landgate Searches are set out in Section 12 of this Report; and
-
(f) we have reviewed all agreements relating to the Tenements provided to us or registered as dealings against the Tenements as at the date of the Tenement Searches. Those that we consider material to the Tenements are summarised in Schedule 4 of this Report.
3.
OPINION
As a result of our Searches, but subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out in this Report, we are of the view that, as at the date of the relevant Searches this Report provides an accurate statement as to:
-
(a) the Company’s interest in the Tenements;
-
(b) the validity and good standing of the Tenements; and
-
(c) third party interests, including encumbrances and private land, in relation to the Tenements.
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Subject to the qualifications and assumptions in this Report, we consider the following to be material issues in relation to the Tenements:
- (a) Company’s interest
The Company does not currently have a registered interest in any of the Granted Tenements. The Company has entered into binding option
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 3
agreements pursuant to which it has been granted exclusive options to acquire either:
-
(i) 100% of the legal and beneficial ownership of certain companies (being the registered holders of the relevant Granted Tenements the Company is seeking to acquire) ( Share Sale Agreements ); or
-
(ii) 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in the Granted Tenements ( Tenement Sale Agreements ).
For the purposes of this report, the Share Sale Agreements and the Tenement Sale Agreements are together considered the Acquisition Agreements.
Each of the Acquisition Agreements contain conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to their completion. The Company’s acquisition of the interests in the relevant Tenements is therefore not guaranteed as it is conditional on the relevant conditions’ precedent contained in the Acquisition Agreements being satisfied. Refer to Section 6 of the Prospectus for summaries of each of the Acquisition Agreements.
(b) Applications for Tenements
Ten (10) of the Tenements are applications and have not yet been granted (the Applications ). The grant of the Tenements is therefore not guaranteed, and the Applications will need to satisfy the Future Act Provisions to be valid under the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) ( NTA ). Refer to Schedule 1 for a full list of the Tenements, which clearly sets out which of the Tenements are Applications and have not yet been granted.
(c)
Objections to Applications
Our Searches revealed that there is a total of three (3) objections lodged and recorded in respect of two Applications, namely ELA29/1119 (one objection) and ELA77/2676 (two objections) ( Live Objections ). As the Live Objections have not yet been heard by the Warden’s court, the outcomes remain unknown. Upon hearing, the Warden may make a recommendation to the Minister for refusal of the Applications. Refer to Section 8 of this Report for further details regarding the Live Objections.
(d) Expired Tenements
Our Searches indicate that two (2) prospecting licences (namely, P77/4326 and P77/4325) (together, the Expired Licences ) expired on 18 July 2021. We are instructed that the Company has lodged applications for extensions of the terms of the Expired Licences on 19 July 2021. We are not aware of any reason why the Minister would decline to renew these Tenements, however the outcomes remain unknown.
(e) Crown land
Most of the land the subject of the Tenements overlaps Crown land. Further details are provided in Section 8 of this Report. The Mining Act imposes prohibitions on prospecting, exploration and mining activities and restrictions on access to certain parts of mining tenements that overlap Crown land without the prior agreement of the occupier which commonly involves the tenement holder paying compensation to the occupier of the Crown land.
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 4
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those parts of the granted Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those parts of the Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on other areas of the Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
(f) Third party interests
A number of the Tenements overlap certain third party interests that may limit the Company’s ability to conduct exploration and mining activities including flora and fauna reserves, pastoral leases, private land and encroachment by other tenements and tenement applications. Refer to Sections 10 to 13 and Schedule 1 of this Report for further details of these third party interests.
(g) Native title and Aboriginal Tenements
All of the Tenements are within the boundaries of various Native Title claims and twelve (12) of the Tenements are subject to the Ballardong People Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ). There are also areas or objects of Aboriginal heritage located on four (4) of the Tenements, which was identified from the Heritage Searches. Refer to Section 6 and Schedule 2 of this Report for further information.
(h) Material Contracts
On 15 July 2021, the Company entered into an access agreement with Barto Gold Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 161 566 490) ( Barto Gold ) in respect of exploration licence E77/2676 ( Access Agreement ). The Access Agreement imposes certain conditions on the Company’s access and use of Barto Gold’s existing infrastructure, in regard to the area comprising the overlap between E77/2676 and five miscellaneous licences currently held by Barto Gold. Refer to Section 12 and Schedule 5 of this Report for further information relating to the Access Agreement.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TENEMENTS
The tenements are comprised of exploration licences, prospecting licences and mining leases, and applications for exploration licences. This Section 5 provides a description of the nature and key terms of these types of mining tenements.
5.1 Exploration Licence
(a) Rights
The holder of an exploration licence is entitled to enter the land for the purposes of exploration for minerals with employees and contractors and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
(b) Term
An exploration licence has a term of 5 years from the date of grant. The Minister may extend the term by a further period of 5 years followed by a further period or periods of 2 years.
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 5
(c) Retention status
The holder of an exploration licence granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the exploration licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the exploration licence but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a programme of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease.
(d) Conditions
Exploration licences are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. Details of non-standard conditions relating to the Tenements are listed in Schedule 1 of this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the exploration licence.
(e) Relinquishment
The holder of an exploration licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 must relinquish not less than 40% of the blocks comprising the licence at the end of the fifth year. A failure to lodge the required partial surrender could render the tenement liable for forfeiture.
(f) Priority to apply for mining lease
The holder of an exploration licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the exploration licence. Any application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the exploration licence. The exploration licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined.
(g) Transfer
No legal or equitable interest in an exploration licence can be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the first year of its term without the prior written consent of the Minister. Thereafter, there is no restriction on transfer or other dealings.
5.2 Prospecting licence
(a) Application
A person may lodge an application for a prospecting licence in accordance with the Mining Act. The mining registrar or warden decides whether to grant an application for a prospecting licence. An application for a prospecting licence (unless a reversion application) cannot be legally transferred and continues in the name of the applicant.
(b) Rights
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 6
The holder of a prospecting licence is entitled to enter upon land for the purposes of prospecting for minerals with employees and contractors, and such vehicles, machinery and equipment as may be necessary or expedient.
(c) Term
A prospecting licence has a term of 4 years. Where the prospecting licence was applied for and granted after 10 February 2006, the Minister may extend the term by 4 years and if retention status is granted (as discussed below), by a further term or terms of 4 years. Where a prospecting licence is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d) Retention status
The holder of a prospecting licence applied for and granted after 10 February 2006 may apply for approval of retention status for the prospecting licence. The Minister may approve the application where there is an identified mineral resource in or under the land the subject of the prospecting licence, but it is impractical to mine the resource for prescribed reasons. Where retention status is granted, the minimum expenditure requirements are reduced in the year of grant and cease in future years. However, the Minister has the right to impose a program of works or require the holder to apply for a mining lease. The holder of a prospecting licence applied for or granted before 10 February 2006 can apply for a retention licence (see below), rather than retention status.
(e) Conditions
Prospecting licences are granted subject to various standard conditions including conditions relating to minimum expenditure, the payment of rent and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. These standard conditions are not detailed in this Report. Details of non-standard conditions relating to the Tenements are listed in Schedule 1 of this Report. A failure to comply with these conditions or obtain an exemption from compliance may lead to forfeiture of the prospecting licence.
(f) Relinquishment
There is no requirement to relinquish any portion of the prospecting licence.
(g) Priority to apply for a mining lease
The holder of a prospecting licence has priority to apply for a mining lease over any of the land subject to the prospecting licence. An application for a mining lease must be made prior to the expiry of the prospecting licence. The prospecting licence remains in force until the application for the mining lease is determined and the holder of the prospecting licence at the time of the grant will be the holder of the mining lease granted over the relevant land.
(h) Transfer
There is no restriction on transfer or other dealing in a prospecting licence.
5.3 Mining lease
(a) Application
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 7
Any person may lodge an application for a mining lease, although a holder of a prospecting licence, exploration licence or retention licence over the relevant area has priority. The Minister decides whether to grant an application for a mining lease.
The application, where made after 10 February 2006, must be accompanied by either a mining proposal or a statement outlining mining intentions and a “mineralisation report” indicating there is significant mineralisation in the area over which a mining lease is sought. A mining lease accompanied by a “mineralisation report” will only be approved where the Director, Geological Survey considers that there is a reasonable prospect that the mineralisation identified will result in a mining operation.
(b) Rights
The holder of a mining lease is entitled to mine for and dispose of any minerals on the land in respect of which the lease was granted. A mining lease entitles the holder to do all acts and things necessary to effectively carry out mining operations.
(c) Term
A mining lease has a term of 21 years and may be renewed for successive periods of 21 years. Where a mining lease is transferred before a renewal application has been determined, the transferee is deemed to be the applicant.
(d)
Conditions
Mining leases are granted subject to various standard conditions, including conditions relating to expenditure, the payment of prescribed rent and royalties and observance of environmental protection and reporting requirements. An unconditional performance bond may be required to secure performance of these obligations. A failure to comply with these conditions may lead to forfeiture of the mining lease. These standard conditions are not detailed in Schedule 1 of this Report.
(e) Transfer
The consent of the Minister is required to transfer a mining lease.

File restricted. Boundary restricted. |
The Company has not entered into standard Aboriginal heritage agreements.
Under Aboriginal heritage agreements parties holding an interest in a tenement (whether title or mineral rights only) may dispose of any or all of its rights with respect to their interest in the tenement, but must first procure an executed deed of assumption in favour of the relevant native title group by which the assignee (purchaser) agrees to be bound by the provisions of the heritage agreement and to assume, observe and perform the obligations of the assignor (vendor) under the heritage agreement insofar as they relate to the interest being acquired by the assignee (purchaser). In the case of the Company such an assumption would be restricted to the obligations relating to the mineral rights (excluding iron ore) on the Tenements.
As heritage agreements relate to the process of ‘clearing’ areas of land on tenements in order to conduct exploration activities it is possible a purchaser may rely on surveys previously completed by a vendor where it wishes to conduct activities on areas within tenements previously cleared of heritage sites without the requirements to repeat the process and incur additional costs.
6.1 Commonwealth legislation
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth) ( Commonwealth Heritage Act ) is aimed at the preservation and protection of any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements.
Under the Commonwealth Heritage Act, the Minister for Indigenous Australians may make interim or permanent declarations of preservation in relation to significant Aboriginal areas or objects, which have the potential to halt exploration activities. Compensation is payable by the Minister for Indigenous Australians to a person who is, or is likely to be, affected by a permanent declaration of preservation.
It is an offence to contravene a declaration made under the Commonwealth Heritage Act.
6.2 Western Australian legislation
Tenements located in Western Australia are granted subject to a condition requiring observance of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) ( WA Heritage Act ).
The WA Heritage Act makes it an offence to alter or damage sacred ritual or ceremonial Aboriginal sites and areas of significance to Aboriginal persons (whether or not they are recorded on the register or otherwise known to the Register of Aboriginal Sites, DPLH or the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee).
An Aboriginal site is defined under the WA Heritage Act to include any sacred, ritual or ceremonial site which is of importance and special significance to persons of Aboriginal descent. Aboriginal sites may be registered under the WA Heritage Act. However, there is no requirement for a site to be registered. The WA Heritage Act protects all registered and unregistered sites. Tenement holders customarily consult with Aboriginal traditional owners of the tenement land and undertake Aboriginal heritage surveys to ascertain whether any aboriginal sites exist and to avoid inadvertent disruption of these sites.
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 9
Aboriginal sites were identified from the Heritage Searches (as noted in Schedules 1 and 2 of this Report).
We note, however, that there may be unregistered or otherwise undiscovered Aboriginal heritage sites on the Tenements.
The consent of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (WA) is required where any use of land is likely to result in the excavation, alteration or damage to an Aboriginal site or any objects on or under that site. This requires submissions from the tenement holder to the DPLH on the proposed activities, the possible impact on the Aboriginal sites, any negotiations conducted with Aboriginal traditional owners of the lands and any measures that will be taken to minimise the interference.
7. NATIVE TITLE
7.1 General
The law of Australia recognises the existence of native title rights held by indigenous Australians over their traditional lands[1] . Native title exists where an indigenous group has maintained a continuous traditional connection with the land, and those rights have not been extinguished.
Native title may be extinguished:
-
(a) in whole by the grant of an interest in land conferring “exclusive possession” such as a freehold interest in the land; or
-
(b) in part by the grant of an interest conferring “non-exclusive possession” including the grant of pastoral leases and mining leases, or the creation of certain reserves. In this case, the native title will co-exist with the other rights to the land.
The NTA:
-
(a) provides a process for indigenous people to claim native title rights[2] and compensation[3] ;
-
(b) confirms the validity of past actions (including grants of land tenure) by the Commonwealth and State governments[4] ; and
-
(c) specifies the procedures which must be complied with to ensure that acts that may affect native title rights (such as the grant or renewal of a mining tenement) are valid.
The NTA has been adopted in Western Australia by the enactment of the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995.
7.2 Native title claim process
Persons claiming to hold native title may lodge an application for determination of native title with the Federal Court. The application is then referred to the NNTT to assess whether the claim meets the registration requirements in the NTA, and if so, the native
1 Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 2 Parts 3 and 4 of the NTA
3 Part 3, Division 5 of the NTA
4 Part 2, Division 2 of the NTA
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 10
title claim will be entered on the register of native title claims ( RNTC ) maintained by the NNTT.
Native title claimants have certain procedural rights, including the rights to negotiation and compensation, in relation to the grant of mining tenements if their native title claim is registered at the time the State issues a notice of the proposed grant of the mining tenement ( Section 29 Notice ), or if their claim becomes registered within four months after the Section 29 Notice.
Once a claim is registered, a claimant must prove its claim in the Federal Court in order to have native title determined and the claim entered on the National Native Title Register ( NNTR ).
7.3 Grant of tenements and compliance with the NTA
The grant of any mining tenement after 23 December 1996 must comply with the applicable NTA procedures in order to be valid. The exception to this is where native title has never existed over the land covered by the tenement or has been extinguished prior to the grant of the tenement.
The absence of a claim does not necessarily indicate that there is no native title over an area, as native title claims could be made in the future.
Unless it is clear that native title does not exist (such as where the land the subject of a tenement application is freehold land), the usual practice of the State is to comply with the NTA when granting a tenement. This ensures the grant will be valid if a court subsequently determines that native title rights exist over the land subject to the tenement.
The procedural requirements in the NTA relating to the grant of a mining tenement (referred to as the “ Future Act ” procedures) include four alternatives:
-
(a) the right to negotiate, which is the primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA;
-
(b) the expedited procedure, which may be used in relation to the grant of exploration and prospecting licences;
-
(c) an indigenous land use agreement; and
-
(d) the infrastructure process.
Future Act procedures are provided below.
7.4 Right to negotiate
The primary Future Act procedure prescribed by the NTA is the “right to negotiate”.
The right to negotiate involves a negotiation between the registered native title claimants, the tenement applicant and the State government, the aim of which is to agree the terms on which the tenement may be granted.
The applicant for the tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the parties agree to pay to the native title claimants. The parties may also agree on conditions that will apply to activities carried out on the tenement.
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 11
The initial negotiation period is six months from the date on which the State issues a Section 29 Notice.
If the parties cannot reach an agreement within the initial six month period, any party may refer the matter to arbitration before the NNTT, which then has six (6) months to determine whether the tenement can be granted and if so, on what conditions.
7.5 Expedited procedure
Where the grant of a tenement is unlikely to directly interfere with community or social activities or areas or sites of particular significance, or involve major disturbance to land or waters, the NTA permits the State to follow an expedited procedure for the grant of a tenement.
The State applies the expedited procedure to the grant of exploration and prospecting tenements.
Registered native title parties can lodge an objection to the use of the expedited procedure within the period of four months following the issue of the Section 29 Notice by the State ( Objection Period ).
If no objections are lodged or if the objections are withdrawn, the State may grant the tenement at the expiry of the Objection Period without undertaking a negotiation process.
If an objection is lodged, the NNTT must determine whether the grant of the tenement is an act attracting the Expedited Procedure. If the NNTT determines the expedited procedure does not apply, the parties must follow the right to negotiate procedure or enter into an indigenous land use agreement.
The DMIRS currently has a policy of requiring applicants for prospecting licences and exploration licences to sign and send a Regional Standard Heritage Agreement ( RSHA ) to the registered native title claimant, or prove they have an existing RHSA or Alternative Heritage Agreement in place.
The RSHA provides a framework for the conduct of Aboriginal heritage surveys over the land the subject of a tenement prior to the conducting of ground-disturbing work and conditions that apply to activities carried out within the tenement.
If the registered native title claimant does not execute the RSHA within the Objection Period (and no objections are otherwise lodged), the tenement may still be granted at the expiry of the Objection Period. If the tenement applicant refuses or fails to execute or send the RSHA to the registered native title holder, the DMIRS will process the application under the right to negotiate procedure.
7.6
Indigenous land use agreement
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures do not have to be followed if an indigenous land use agreement ( ILUA ) has been registered with the NNTT.
An ILUA is a voluntary contractual arrangement negotiated with all registered native title claimants for a relevant area. The State and the applicant for the tenement are usually the other parties to the ILUA.
An ILUA must set out the terms on which the relevant mining tenement may be granted. An ILUA will also specify conditions on which activities may be carried out within the tenement. The applicant for a tenement is usually liable for any compensation that the
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 12
parties agree to pay to the registered native title claimants in return for the grant of the tenement being approved. These obligations pass to a transferee of the tenement.
Once an ILUA is agreed and registered, it binds the whole native title claimant group and all holders of native title in the area (including future claimants), even though they may not be parties to it.
7.7
Infrastructure process
The right to negotiate and expedited procedures also do not apply for grants of tenements for the sole purpose of the construction of an infrastructure facility.
In Western Australia, the DMIRS applies the infrastructure process to most miscellaneous licences and general purpose leases, depending on their purpose. For these types of tenements, an alternative consultation process applies, and in the absence of an agreement between the native title claimants and the applicant, the matter can be referred to an independent person for determination.
7.8 Renewals
Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must comply with the Future Act provisions in order to be valid under the NTA, except where:
-
(a) the area to which the mining tenement applies is not extended;
-
(b) the term of the renewed mining tenement is not longer than the term of the earlier mining tenement; and
-
(c) the rights to be created are not greater than the rights conferred by the earlier mining tenement.
7.9
Native title claims and determinations affecting the Tenements
Our searches indicate that all of the Tenements are within the boundaries of native title claims as specified in Schedule 1 and 2 of this Report.
7.10 Indigenous land use agreements affecting the Tenements
Our searches indicate that twelve of the Tenements are subject to the Ballardong People Indigenous Land Use Agreement as specified in Schedule 1 and 2 of this Report. Note 2 of Schedule 1 applies to the Tenements overlapping the Ballardong People Indigenous Land Use Agreement ( ILUA ). Schedule 2 provides a brief summary of the Ballardong People ILUA.
8.
OBJECTIONS
Under Section 59 of the Mining Act, a person may object to the granting of an application for an exploration licence. We note the below objections lodged by third parties in respect of two of the Applications:
| Tenement | Application Date | Objection No. |
Objecting Party | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA29/1119 | 9 February 2021 | 595527 | Murrin Murrin Holdings Pty Ltd and Glenmurrin Pty Ltd |
Recorded. |
| ELA77/2676 | 5 June 2020 | 579421 | Polaris Metals Pty Ltd | Recorded. |
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 13
| 15 June 2020 | 579922 | TIANYE SXO Gold Mining Pty Ltd |
Recorded. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
An objection will generally be heard before a Warden in an open court. The Warden will consider and determine the objection, and then make a recommendation to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum for grant or refusal. The Minister will then determine the application after all matters have been finalised. The Minister may grant or refuse the application irrespective of the Warden’s recommendation.
The timing (i.e. the date for determination) and the outcome of the objections is currently unknown. The Warden may refuse to grant or refuse the application the subject of the Tenement prior to the objections being determined. Accordingly, the grant of the Tenement may be delayed until such time as the objections have been heard.
If, upon hearing the objections, the Warden makes a recommendation to accept the objections, and the Minister follows that recommendation, the application lodged in respect of the Tenement may be refused. Alternatively, if the Warden recommends the objections be refused, and the Minister follows that recommendation, the application lodged in respect of the Tenement may be granted.
9. CROWN LAND
As set out in Schedule 1 of this Report, some of the Tenements overlap Crown land as set out in the table below.
| Tenement | Crown land | Overlap (%) |
|---|---|---|
| E74/586 | Unallocated Crown land - 2 land parcels affected | 96.07%. |
| E74/591 | Unallocated Crown land - 6 land parcels affected | 95.71% |
| E74/627 | Unallocated Crown land - 1 land parcel affected | 100% |
| E77/2313 | Unallocated Crown land - 3 land parcels affected | 100% |

| ELA77/2819 | Unallocated Crown land - 2 land parcels affected | 98.59% |
| ELA77/2832 | Unallocated Crown land - 2 land parcels affected | 34.63% |
| ELA29/1103 | Water (unallocated Crown land) - 1 land parcel affected | 7.28% |
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021

| Tenement | Crown land | Overlap (%) |
|---|---|---|
| ELA77/2676 | Unallocated Crown land - 160 land parcels affected | 29.03% |
| ELA77/2676 | Water (unallocated Crown land) - 2 land parcels affected | 0.05% |
The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of prospecting, exploration or mining activities on Crown land that is less than 30 metres below the lowest part of the natural surface of the land and:
-
(i) for the time being under crop (or within 100 metres of that crop);
-
(ii) used as or situated within 100 metres of a yard, stockyard, garden, cultivated field, orchard vineyard, plantation, airstrip or airfield;
-
(iii) situated within 100 metres of any land that is an actual occupation and on which a house or other substantial building is erected;
-
(iv) the site of or situated within 100 metres of any cemetery or burial ground; or
-
(v) if the Crown land is a pastoral lease, the site of or situated within 400 metres of any water works, race, dam, well or bore not being an excavation previously made and used for purposes by a person other than the pastoral lessee,
without the written consent of the occupier, unless the warden by order otherwise directs.
-
(b) imposes restrictions on a tenement holder passing over Crown land referred to in section 9(a), including:
-
(i) taking all necessary steps to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land;
-
(ii) the sole purpose for passing over the Crown land must be to gain access to other land not covered by section 9(a) to carry out prospecting, exploration or mining activities;
-
(iii) taking all necessary steps to prevent fire, damage to trees, damage to property or damage to livestock by the presence of dogs, the discharge of firearms, the use of vehicles or otherwise; and
-
(iv) causing as little inconvenience as possible to the occupier by keeping the number of occasions of passing over the Crown land to a minimum and complying with any reasonable request by the occupier as to the manner of passage; and
-
(c) requires a tenement holder to compensate the occupier of Crown land:
-
(i) by making good any damage to any improvements or livestock caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 9(a) or otherwise compensate the occupier for any such damage not made good; and
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 15
- (ii) in respect of land under cultivation, for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier caused by passing over Crown land referred to in section 9(a).
The warden may not give the order referred to in section 9(a) that dispenses with the occupier’s consent in respect of Crown land covered by section 9(a)(iii). In respect of other areas of Crown land covered by the prohibition in section 9(a), the warden may not make such an order unless he is satisfied that the land is genuinely required for mining purposes and that compensation in accordance with the Mining Act for all loss or damage suffered or likely to be suffered by the occupier has been agreed between the occupier and the tenement holder or assessed by the warden under the Mining Act.
Although the Company will be able to undertake its proposed activities on those parts of the Tenements not covered by the prohibitions and pass over those parts of the Tenements to which the restrictions do not apply immediately upon listing on ASX, the Company should consider entering into access and compensation agreements with the occupiers of the Crown land upon commencement of those activities in the event further activities are required on other areas of the Tenements which are subject to prohibitions or restrictions.
Reserves
As set out in Schedule 1 to this Report, certain Tenements are subject to Crown land and reserves of different types.
Land reserved under Part 4 of the Land Administration Act 1997 (WA) ( Land Act ) is generally subject to a requirement that under section 24(5A) of the Mining Act that ‘mining’ (which term includes exploration and prospecting) on that land may be carried out with the written consent of the Minister who may refuse his consent or give consent subject to terms and conditions. This does not apply to:
-
(a) certain national parks and certain Class A nature reserves in relation to which more stringent controls may apply;
-
(b) land reserved for mining or commons;
-
(c) land reserved and designated for public utility for any purpose pursuant to that part; or
-
(d) land that is a townsite within the meaning of the Land Administration Act.
Accordingly, holding a mining tenement does not of itself permit exploration or mining where a relevant reserve is involved. A further consent must be obtained. The procedure for obtaining such a consent varies depending on the nature of the reserve involved.
Mining may be carried out on any of the following types of land with the written consent of the Minister who may refuse his consent or who may give his consent subject to such terms and conditions as the Minister specifies in the consent:
- (a) land that is in the South-West Division of the State as described in Schedule 1 of this Report to the Land Act, or in the local government district of Esperance or Ravensthorpe and that is reserved under Part 4 of the Land Act and classified as a class A reserve pursuant to that Part or so classified pursuant to any other Act;
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 16
-
(b) any land comprised within:
-
(i) a national park, being land to which section 6(3) of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 applies;
-
(ii) a nature reserve, being land to which section 6(5) of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 applies and which is reserved under Part 4 of the Land Act and classified as a class A reserve pursuant to that Part or so classified pursuant to any other Act; or
-
(iii) a nature reserve, not being land to which section 6(5) of the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 applies but which is reserved under Part 4 of the Land Act for the conservation of flora or fauna, or both flora and fauna, and classified as a class A reserve pursuant to that Part or so classified pursuant to any other Act.
Importantly, section 24(4) of the Mining Act provides that no mining lease or general purpose lease may be granted over any land referred above unless both Houses of the Western Australia Parliament by resolution consent thereto, and then only on such terms and conditions as are specified in the resolution.
Generally, the Minister responsible for the administration of the Mining Act must obtain the concurrence of the responsible Minister under other legislation before giving consent to mining in a reserve.
Other categories of reserves specified in sections 24 of the Mining Act (i.e. other than those outlined above) have less stringent requirements but still require Ministerial consent for exploration or mining after consulting with the responsible Minister and, in some cases, local government public body or trustees or other persons in control and management of such land and obtain its recommendation thereon.
Sections 23 to 25A of the Mining Act impose a range of conditions to mining on public reserves and Crown land, breach of which makes the tenement liable to forfeiture.
We have not been instructed to undertake the necessary research and enquiries to ascertain, or express an opinion as to, whether any of these other categories of reserve would attract a requirement for Ministerial consent or other requirements for mining activities. It is noted, therefore, that it is possible that some of the other categories of reserve applicable to some of the Tenements may attract a requirement for ministerial approval or other requirements should the holder wish to conduct mining activities on the relevant reserve area.
It should also be noted that additional reserves may be established in the future of the areas affected by the Tenements.
10. FLORA AND FAUNA RESERVES
State Government policy provides that mining should not occur on national parks, nature reserves, conservation parks or state forests and, where possible, a tenement applicant is encouraged to excise the conservation area from the area of the application.
If a conservation area is not excised, the DMIRS will refer the application to the Department of Environment Regulation ( DER ) for comment and or consent. Under the Mining Act, mineral exploration on national parks, class “A” nature reserves and certain conservation parks requires the concurrence of the Minister for Environment. In relation
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 17
to nature reserves other than class “A” reserves, and certain conservation parks, the Minister for the Environment and Conservation is required to give his recommendation in relation to the grant.
Where the Minister for the Environment and Conservation concurs with the grant or provides recommendations in relation to the grant, additional conditions and endorsements are generally placed on the tenement. These conditions are designed to minimise the impacts on the environment and to draw the tenement holders’ attention to the requirements under other environmental protection legislation.
As set out below, two of the Granted Tenements and one of the Applications overlap with flora and fauna reserves as follows:
| Tenement | Flora and Fauna Reserves | Overlap (%) |
|---|---|---|
| E77/2348 | Conservation of Flora and Fauna - “A” Class Reserve R 36526 | 1.23%. |
| ELA77/2676 | Conservation of Flora and Fauna - “C” Class Reserve R 25801 | 1.71% |
| E77/2364 | Conservation of Flora and Fauna - “C” Class Reserve R 24049 | 73.7% |
In respect of the above overlaps, we note the following points:
-
(a) E77/2348 contains a condition requiring prior written consent of the Minister to be obtained prior to entering or commencing any prospecting or exploration activities on the flora and fauna reserve “Conservation of Flora and Fauna - CR 36526”. Accordingly, should the Company wish to conduct prospecting or exploration activities on the area comprising E77/2348 that overlaps with CR 36526, the Company will be required to obtain the prior written consent of the Minister to do so;
-
(b) consent has been given by the Minister to explore on the flora and fauna reserve “Conservation of Flora and Fauna Reserve CR 24049”, which overlaps E77/2364, subject to three conditions (including, for example, exploration on E77/2364 being completed in accordance with the conversation management plan submitted to DMIRS in respect of E77/2364 in August 2017). Refer to condition 9 of the non-standard Tenement conditions and endorsements notes in Schedule 1 for further details of these conditions; and
-
(c) ELA77/2676 is an application meaning its conditions and endorsements, including those in relation to “Conservation of Flora and Fauna - “C” Class Reserve R 25801”, are unknown. If the Application is granted and if the Company wishes to conduct prospecting or exploration activities on the area comprising ELA77/2676, the Company should consider any conditions and endorsements imposed in relation to the flora and fauna reserve.
It is noted that class “A” nature reserves attract restrictions on mining activities within the conservation reserves, including:
-
(d) a mining lease or a general-purpose lease cannot be granted over a class “A” reserve without the consent of both Houses of Parliament; and
-
(e) mining can only be commenced in a class “A” reserve with the approval of the Minister for Mines and Petroleum and the Minister for Environment and Conservation.
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 18
Given the flora and fauna reserve overlapping E77/248 is a class “A” reserve, it is noted that the above restrictions must be complied with in respect of the land comprising the overlap between E77/2348 and “A” Class Reserve R36526.
11. PASTORAL LEASES
As set out in Schedule 1 to this Report five of the Applications overlap with pastoral leases as follows:
| Tenement | Pastoral Lease | Overlap (%) |
|---|---|---|
| ELA29/1118 | Melita (PL N 050242) | 35.29% |
| Jeedamya (PL N050457) | 64.71% | |
| ELA29/1119 | Melita (PL N050242) | 76.02% |
| Melita (PL N050241) | 3.15% | |
| Sturt Meadows (PL N050635) | 20.82% | |
| ELA29/1103 | Jeedamya (PL N050457) | 92.72% |
| ELA39/2222 | Mertondale (PL N049506) | 33.74% |
| Minara (PL N049712) | 66.26% | |
| ELA37/1438 | Mertondale (PL N049506) | 97.72% |
| Minara (PL N049712) | 2.28% |
The Mining Act:
-
(a) prohibits the carrying out of mining activities on or near certain improvements and other features (such as livestock and crops) on Crown land (which includes a pastoral lease) without the consent of the lessee;
-
(b) imposes certain restrictions on a mining tenement holder passing through Crown land, including requiring that all necessary steps are taken to notify the occupier of any intention to pass over the Crown land and that all necessary steps are taken to prevent damage to improvements and livestock; and
-
(c) provides that the holder of a mining tenement must pay compensation to an occupier of Crown land (i.e. the pastoral lessee) in certain circumstances, in particular to make good any damage to improvements, and for any loss suffered by the occupier from that damage or for any substantial loss of earnings suffered by the occupier as a result of, or arising from, any exploration or mining activities, including the passing and re-passing over any land.
We have been advised by the Company and the Company has confirmed that to the best of its knowledge it is not aware of any improvements and other features on the land the subject of the pastoral leases overlapping the Tenements which would require the Company to obtain the consent of the occupier or lease holder or prevent the Company from undertaking its proposed mining activities on the Tenements.
Upon commencing mining operations on any of the Tenements, the Company should consider entering into a compensation and access agreement with the pastoral lease holders to ensure the requirements of the Mining Act are satisfied and to avoid any disputes arising. In the absence of agreement, the Warden’s Court may determine compensation payable.

The DMIRS imposes standard conditions on mining tenements that overlay pastoral leases. Other than as detailed in Schedule 1 the Tenements incorporate the standard conditions.
12. PRIVATE LAND
Generally and subject to certain exceptions and limitations, private land which is not already subject to a mining tenement is considered open for mining under the Mining Act, and a mining tenement may be issued in relation to such land, entitling the holder to the rights granted thereby. However, a tenement may not be granted in respect of private land which is:
-
(a) in bona fide and regular use as a yard, stockyard, garden, orchard, vineyard, plant nursery or plantation or is land under cultivation or within 100m of that site;
-
(b) the site of a cemetery or burial ground or within 100 metres of that site;
-
(c) the site of a dam, bore, well or spring or within 100 metres of that site;
-
(d) on which there is erected a substantial improvement or within 100 metres of that improvement; or
-
(e) a parcel of land with an area of 2,000 square metres or less,
unless the written consent of the private landholder and any other occupier is obtained or the tenement is only granted in respect of the land below 30 metres from the surface of the private land. If the tenement is only granted in respect of the land below 30 metres from the surface of the private land, the tenement holder can apply to the Minister for the land between the surface and 30 metres depth to be included in the tenement, which application may be granted provided that the private landowner has consented to such land being included in the tenement.
Key details relating to the Private Land, are provided in Schedule 3 of this Report. The owners and occupiers of any land where mining takes place are entitled according to their respective interests to compensation for all loss and damage suffered or likely to be suffered by them resulting or arising from the mining, whether or not lawfully carried out. The tenement holder may not commence mining on the surface or within a depth of 30 metres from the surface until compensation has been agreed with the private landowner or paid in accordance with the Mining Act. Compensation may be determined by agreement between the tenement holder and private landowner or occupier, or by the warden.
The owner and any other occupier may be entitled to compensation for:
-
(a) deprivation of the possession or use of the natural surface or any part of the land;
-
(b) damage to the land or any part of the land;
-
(c) severance of the land or any part of the land from other land of, or used by, the owner or occupier;
-
(d) loss or restriction of a right of way or other easement or right;
-
(e) loss of, or damage to, improvements;
-
(f) social disruption;
Forrestania Resources Limited 10 August 2021
Page 20
-
(g) in the case of private land that is land under cultivation, any substantial loss of earnings, delay, loss of time, reasonable legal or other costs of negotiation, disruption to agricultural activities, disturbance of the balance of the agricultural holding, the failure on the part of a person concerned in the mining to observe the same laws or requirements in relation to that land as regards the spread of weeds, pests, disease, fire or erosion, or as to soil conservation practices, as are observed by the owner or occupier of that land; and
-
(f) any reasonable expenses properly arising from the need to reduce or control the damage resulting or arising from the mining.
13.
ENCROACHMENTS
Where an application is encroached upon by a live tenement, the application as granted will be for a tenement reduced by that amount of land which falls under the live tenement licence. Where an application is encroached upon by another tenement application, generally, under s 105A of the Mining Act, the applicant who first complies with the initial requirements in respect to their application has the right in priority over every other applicant to have their application granted. The following eight Applications are being encroached by other tenements and tenement applications:
-
(a) ELA77/2676;
-
(b) ELA77/2764;
-
(c) ELA77/2819;
-
(d) ELA77/2830;
-
(e) ELA77/2832;
-
(f) ELA37/1438;
-
(g) ELA29/1119; and
-
(h) ELA29/1103,
(Together, the Encroached Applications ).
Further details of the Encroached Applications and the relevant overlapping tenements is set out in Schedule 4.
14. ROYALTIES
We have identified the royalties set out in Section below as applying to the Tenements, based on our due diligence investigations. These rights include:
-
(a) a 1% net smelter royalty over the gold produced from the Firefly Tenements payable to Firefly Resources Limited (ACN 647 899 698) or its nominee;
-
(b) a 1% gross net smelter royalty, capped at $1,000,000 over all minerals produced from the area within the boundary of the West Australian Prospectors Tenements payable to West Australian Prospectors; and
-
(c) a 2% net smelter return royalty, in the event Jindalee’s interest in the Jindalee Tenements is equal to 5% or less and it subsequently elects to convert its interest in the tenements into a royalty.

SCHEDULE 5 – MATERIAL CONTRACT SUMMARIES
1. BARTO GOLD ACCESS AGREEMENT
On 15 July 2021, Barto Gold Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 161 566 490) ( Barto Gold ) and Quattro Gold Pty Ltd (ACN 631 532 931) ( Quattro Gold ) entered into an agreement relating to exploration licence application ELA77/2676 ( Exploration Licence ) ( Access Agreement ). The material terms and conditions of the Access Agreement are set out below.
| Tenements | Quattro Gold has applied for exploration licence E77/2676 (Exploration Licence). Barto Gold is the registered holder of the following miscellaneous licences: Miscellaneous Licence 77/88; Miscellaneous Licence 77/113; Miscellaneous Licence 77/114; Miscellaneous Licence 77/117; Miscellaneous Licence 77/281; and Miscellaneous Licence 77/290; (together, theBarto Gold Tenements). If the Exploration Licence is granted, it will overlap with the area comprising the Barto Gold Tenements (the area being considered the Overlapping Area). |
|---|---|
| Withdrawal of Objection | Barto Gold agreed to: (a) within five (5) business days following execution of the Access Agreement, withdraw Objection 579922 over ELA77/2676 (Objection); (b) not lodge any further objections; and (c) not object to or impede any applications for mining tenements granted as a conversion of land comprised by the Exploration Licence. |
Page 69
| Amalgamation or Other Encroachment Actions |
If at the date of grant of the Exploration Licence: (a) there is an area of the Barto Gold Tenements which is not encroached by the granted area of the Exploration Licence; but (b) subsequently becomes encroached (i.e. by the amalgamation of vacant areas within the boundaries of the Exploration Licence), then that subsequent encroaching area will form part of the Overlapping Area and be subject to the Access Agreement. |
|---|---|
| Dealing with the Overlapping Area | In relation to the Overlapping Area, the parties agreed as follows: (a) (Consent to access land): Quattro Gold acknowledges and agrees that Barto Gold cannot give Quattro Gold access to private land, pastoral leases or other land types and the Access Agreement cannot be used to gain access to such land. (b) (Pre-construction of Infrastructure): consent from or notification to Barto Gold is not required where Quattro Gold is conducting permitted activities in the Overlapping Area where Barto Gold has not yet constructed any infrastructure. If Quattro Gold is unsure if there is any infrastructure in the area, it must contact Barto Gold for confirmation. (c) (Safety Zone): Quattro Gold must provide notice to and seek written consent from Barto Gold at least 30 days before it conducts any activities whatsoever in an area that is bounded by the physical edges of infrastructure and extending out perpendicular from all sides of the infrastructure to a point which is nearer of: (i) the boundary of the Barto Gold Tenements; or (ii) where the infrastructure is a building in which a person would work or reside, 100 meters from the edge of that building; (iii) where the infrastructure is a haul road constructed on the Barto Gold Tenements (Haul Road), 20 meters from the edge of the Haul Road; (iv) any other infrastructure, 50 meters from that edge. |
Page 70
| (a) (Haul Road): except where crossing a Haul Road (see below), Quattro Gold must not attempt to access, traverse on, visit upon or otherwise interfere with a Haul Road. Quattro Gold must seek written authorisation from Barto Gold in its absolute discretion and subject to any terms and conditions imposed by Barto Gold where Quattro Gold requires access to a Haul Road. (b) (Crossing a Haul Road): Quattro Gold acknowledges and agrees that if it requires to cross a Haul Road it will give at least 7 days written notice to Barto Gold and comply with all of Barto Gold’s directives and procedures including attending any induction or other safety courses required. After crossing a Haul Road for the first time, Quattro Gold and its personnel may cross a Haul Road: (i) infrequently, provided it gives Barto Gold reasonable notice via nominated radio channel and giving Barto Gold’s traffic right of way at its own risk and observing all signage and directions given by Barto Gold; and (ii) frequently, by giving Barto Gold written notice (Crossing Point Notification) and within 30 days of Barto Gold receiving the Crossing Point Notification the parties agreeing to and entering into a crossing point agreement. (c) (Roads and Tracks): Barto Gold must not unreasonably without any consent for the use of any access road (not a haul road) or track it has constructed in the Overlapping Area but may impose conditions and restrictions on that access. (d) (Other): consent for the use of any other infrastructure will be at Barto Gold’s absolute discretion but must not be unreasonable withheld and Quattro Gold must not access or use that infrastructure without the prior written consent of Barto Gold. |
|
|---|---|
| Infrastructure Removal and Relocation Obligations |
In the event that Quattro Gold needs to conduct activities in the Overlapping Area and such activities requires Barto Gold to remove or relocate any or all infrastructure: (a) Quattro Gold must provide written notice to Barto Gold (Relocation Notice); and |
Page 71
| (b) The parties must meet within 60 days of Barto Gold receiving the Relocation Notice to use their reasonable endeavours to agree within 12 months the terms of an Infrastructure Relocation Agreement (IRA). The parties must not unreasonably withhold their agreement to the terms of an IRA in circumstances where the IRA stipulates, that Barto Gold is not required to remove or relocate infrastructure until a satisfactory alternative solution is commissioned, and Quattro Gold must pay for the costs related to the relocation or removal of infrastructure. Where the parties are unable to agree on an IRA within 12 months or either party is considered to be acting unreasonably in its conduct, the matter must be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution clause of the Access Agreement. |

Executive Summary
Forrestania Resources Limited (Forrestania or the Company) commissioned Valuation and Resource Management Pty Ltd (VRM) to prepare an Independent Technical Assessment Report (ITAR or the Report) of the mineral assets in which Forrestania has an interest. The ITAR is to be included in a prospectus issued by the Company and dated around the date of this Report for an initial public offer of up to 25,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 each to raise up to a total of $5,000,000 (before costs) (Prospectus) to facilitate the Company’s admission to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
This Report has been prepared as a public document, in the format of an independent specialist’s report and in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – the 2015 VALMIN Code (VALMIN) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code (JORC).
This Report is a technical review of the Company’s Forrestania Gold, Nickel and Lithium Project (one Mining Licence, two Prospecting Licences, 11 Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications), Southern Cross Gold Project (one Mining Licence, two Prospecting Licences, one Exploration Licence and three Exploration Licence Applications) and Leonora Gold Project (one Exploration Licence and five Exploration Licence Applications), located in the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The projects cover approximately 1,600 km[2] (~700km[2] granted). The general location of these projects is shown in Figure 1.
Forrestania Project
The Forrestania Project, located approximately 80 km east of Hyden, Western Australia, comprises one Mining Licence, two Prospecting Licences, 11 Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications covering an area of approximately 615km[2] . Prior exploration over the project area has focussed on gold, lithium and nickel, largely in the form of mapping, soil sampling, drilling, and geophysical surveys. The Mining Licence has been subjected to small-scale tantalum, tin and gem quality rubellite mining. A Mineral Resource estimate has been reported in accordance with the JORC Code at Lady Lila within the Project area (see Section 3.6.14).
Forrestania has developed an exploration budget and strategy based on the previous exploration and existing targets at multiple prospects. The proposed exploration is dominated by soil sampling, drilling existing gold, lithium and nickel targets, Lady Lila, Kit Kat, and the Gem Prospect, and generating new targets with $2.6 million budgeted for exploration including at Forrestania and Southern Cross over the next two years. In VRM’s opinion this budget and work program is justified and recommended.

Southern Cross Project
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
The Southern Cross Project area will be explored for gold and base metal mineralisation within the Southern Cross greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises five tenements; one Exploration Licence, three Exploration Licence Applications, two Prospecting Licences and one Mining Licence, covering 144.28km[2] (~32.08km[2] granted). The tenements are disconnected and scattered over a 40km length of the greenstone belt. All tenements are within 30 km radius of the town of Southern Cross, Western Australia,
The tenements have had variable levels of exploration completed. The Mining Licence and two further licences have been subjected to surface sampling, mapping, drilling, and small-scale gold mining. The remaining tenements have been variably explored utilizing soil sampling, drilling, and/or geophysical surveys.
Forrestania has developed an exploration budget and strategy based on the previous exploration and existing targets at multiple prospects within the Southern Cross Project area. The proposed exploration is dominated by reverse circulation (RC) drilling, mapping and surface sampling program and initial data review and access of recent drill results, which may generate new targets with $2.6 million budgeted for exploration including at Forrestania and Southern Cross over the next two years. In VRM’s opinion this budget and work program is justified and recommended.
Leonora Project
The Leonora Project tenements are located within the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt of the Yilgarn Craton. The Project includes one Exploration Licence and five Exploration Licence Applications, covering a total of 853.5km[2] . The tenements are predominately non-contiguous and scattered over 200km length of the greenstone belt. The southernmost tenement is approximately 15 km southeast of the town of Menzies, and the northern most tenement is located approximately 70 km northeast of Leonora. Prior exploration over the project area has focussed on gold, diamonds, and uranium. Tenements in the Project have been variably subjected to soil sampling, stream sampling, drilling, mapping, rock chip sampling and geophysical surveys.
Forrestania has developed an exploration strategy based on results of historical exploration. As only one tenement is granted and six remain applications, a smaller exploration budget has been assigned to the project, with $0.9 million budgeted for exploration over the next two years.
In VRM’s opinion there is potential to expand the prospects at the Forrestania and Southern Cross Projects, namely Lady Lila and other earlier stage prospect areas. Forrestania has proposed an exploration program for the project totalling $3.5 over the next two years. In VRM’s opinion this exploration budget is justified.

Exploration Budget
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Forrestania has proposed an exploration budget of $3.5 million, to test the targets within the granted tenements, which represents the primary use of funds from the proposed capital raising. The Company’s exploration budget consists of $1.4 million in the first year and $2.1 million in the second year following the date of the Company’s admission to the Official List of the ASX. VRM has reviewed the budget and work program and considers the gold, nickel and lithium targets justify additional work and considers the budgets reasonable, appropriate and in line with the current exploration costs. It is, in the opinion of VRM, considered likely that ongoing, targeted, and modern exploration activities would further extend known mineralisation and identify additional mineralisation. Subject to Forrestania obtaining sufficient funding, it is VRM’s recommendation that the proposed work programs be carried out.
A summary of the exploration budgets of the Company’s projects is presented in Section 9.
Should the subscription be raised under the Offer, VRM considers that the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives, maintain the tenements in good standing by meeting or exceeding tenement expenditure commitments and also satisfy the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company has prepared staged exploration programs and budgets, specific to the projects, which are consistent with the findings of this Report. VRM considers that the identified targets have sufficient technical merit to justify the proposed programs, and associated expenditure. The proposed exploration budget exceeds the minimum statutory annual expenditure commitments for the tenements, which is $479,910.
Conclusions
Forrestania holds prospective tenements within the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia.
A Mineral Resource estimate reported in accordance with the JORC Code has been defined within the Project areas. The resource is at Lady Lila within the Forrestania Project. At this time, it is uncertain if the proposed exploration programs would result in further JORC Code 2012 Mineral Resources delineation.
The projects contain known mineralisation and prospects that have been actively mined and explored by previous owners with encouraging results.

1.1. Compliance with the JORC and VALMIN Codes and ASIC Regulatory Guides
In preparing the ITAR, VRM has applied the guidelines and principles of the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets – 2015 VALMIN Code (VALMIN) and the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves – the 2012 JORC Code (JORC). Both industry codes are mandatory for all members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). These codes are also requirements under Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) rules and guidelines and the listing rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
This ITAR is a Public Report as described in the VALMIN Code (Clause 5) and the JORC Code (Clause 9). It is based on, and fairly reflects, the information and supporting documentation provided by Forrestania and previous owners and associated Competent Persons as referenced in this ITAR and additional publicly available information.
1.2. Scope of Work
VRM’s primary obligation in preparing this ITAR is to independently describe mineral projects applying the guidelines of the JORC and VALMIN Codes. These require that the Report contains all the relevant information at the date of disclosure, which investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require in making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the projects.
VRM has compiled the Report based on the principle of reviewing and interrogating both the documentation of Forrestania and other previous exploration within the area. This Report is a summary of the work conducted, completed, and reported by the various explorers to 20 July 2021 based on information supplied to VRM by Forrestania and other information sourced in the public domain, to the extent required by the VALMIN and JORC Codes.
VRM understands that its review and report will be included in the Prospectus, and as such, it is understood that VRM’s review and valuation will be a public document. Accordingly, this report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 2015 VALMIN Code.
1.3. Statement of Independence
VRM was engaged to undertake an ITAR of Forrestania’s projects. This work was conducted applying the principles of the JORC and VALMIN Codes, which in turn reference ASIC Regulatory guide 111 Content of expert reports (RG111) and ASIC Regulatory guide 112 Independence of Experts (RG112).
Mr Paul Dunbar, Dr Kate Bassano, and Ms Deborah Lord of VRM have not had any association with Forrestania, its individual employees, or any interest in the securities of the Company or potential interest, nor are they expected to be employed by the Company after the initial public offering (IPO), which could be regarded as affecting their ability to give an independent, objective, and unbiased opinion. VRM will be

VRM has relied on the information contained within the reports, articles, and databases, as detailed in the reference list. A draft of this Report was provided to Forrestania for the purpose of identifying and addressing any factual errors or omissions prior to finalisation of the Report.
1.8. Site visit
A site visit to the Forrestania and Southern Cross Projects was conducted on 19-21 July 2021 by Mr Bob Affleck. During the last 25 years Mr Affleck has undertaken site visits to several mines and exploration sites similar in geological setting to the mineralisation delineated at the Forrestania and Southern Cross projects.
During the field visit, Native Title status of the tenements was discussed. A number of surveys have been conducted or work programs approved by local heritage groups on areas within the Forrestania Project. VRM has not reviewed any heritage agreements or surveys reports conducted for the Southern Cross project tenements.
A number of active DMIRS Programs of Work (POW) are in place for future drilling at the Forrestania Project, specifically at the Crossroads, Great Southern and Kit Kat prospects. No approved POW’s appear to be in place for the Southern Cross project tenements.
1.8.1. Forrestania Project
The only significant prospect not visited was the Mt Holland area due to heavy rainfall and closed roads on the day.

Crossroads Prospect
Shallow drilling by Firefly in 2019 discovered gold mineralisation along a 300m strike length on the contact between basalt and granite. There is no outcrop across the area, and some costeans excavated by local farmers to clarify the prospect geology remain open. Spoil piles from Cassini AC drilling were noted also.

==> picture [244 x 183] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2 - Crossroads costean (L) and Firefly RC Drillhole and rehabilitated costean (R)
The prospect lies adjacent to a prominent circular intrusion and structural positions favourable for gold mineralisation identified by aeromagnetic data around and across the feature remain unexplored.
Kit Kat Prospect
Regolith cover across the prospect masks underlying mafic and ultramafic stratigraphy just 6km along strike of the Kat Gap gold mine. Eleven RC drillholes completed in 2019 by Firefly discovered low level gold mineralisation but holes appear to have been drilled too far to the west to effectively test the main maficultramafic contact.
Given the improved ground visibility following recent fires reconnaissance float mapping and reconnaissance by foot or ATV may be worthwhile. Rehabilitation of collars and removal of sample bags is scheduled to be completed shortly.

Great Southern Prospect
This site of historical mining hosts gold mineralisation in a complex quartz vein stockwork within saprolitic granite. Along with the smaller Commonwealth pit to the west, the orientation of the veins carrying gold mineralisation is unclear and abandoned mining infrastructure can be found south of the Great Southern pit. Considerable disturbance remains with waste dumps and windrows around the pits.

RC drilling by Firefly in 2019 north and south of the pits failed to locate additional mineralisation but it appears likely the drill orientation was not optimal to explore the mineralised vein sets. Additional work to understand which sets are mineralised is recommended before future drill campaigns.

Figure 5 - Historical RC drillhole WRP101, samples and drill collar
Gold mineralisation outlined to date lies in three disconnected zones and access to the area via existing drill lines is good. No outcrop was noted, and auger geochemistry has been successfully used to penetrate shallow regolith and define a near continuous gold anomaly the length of P77/4325 and P77/4326.
Gemcutter M 77/549
Seven RC drillholes by Firefly in 2019 in the south-eastern corner of M77/549 discovered significant gold mineralisation with best result in GPRC0041 21m @ 3.20 g/t Au from 34m. The tenement has been the site of mining for Rubellite crystals hosted in pegmatites and substantial disturbance remains in the form of excavations to 8m deep and waste dumps.

A number of sheds and other infrastructure in good condition remain on the licence, which could aid future exploration activities.
1.8.2. Southern Cross Project
All tenements in the Southern Cross Project were visited during the field visit with the exception of E77/2676, which is currently pending and straddles the eastern granite-greenstone contact.
Irene Betty M77/1266
This tiny mining lease was traversed during the field visit, but a house and domestic asset precluded a thorough assessment of the area’s prospectivity and any outstanding rehabilitation issues.
Athenian P77/4544
Gold mineralisation at Athenian is hosted within a quartz ironstone lode on the northern edge of the tenement, approximately 1m wide on the contact of mafic and ultramafic units trending 315[0] . Recent sheetwash covers much of the tenement masking underlying lithologies but aeromagnetic data suggest the western half is granite.

2. Mineral Assets
The Mineral Assets in this review are those of the Forrestania, Southern Cross and Leonora Projects located in the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The location of the project is shown in Figure 1.
The drill intersections and assay results are derived from information provided to VRM by Forrestania and have been randomly checked against the available annual technical reports (WAMEX reports). All drill holes have several letters prior to the hole numbers, these signify the drill type, i.e., rotary air blast (RAB) holes have a suffix of R, RAB, reverse circulation (RC) holes end in RC or C, aircore holes have an AC suffix while diamond holes have a D as a suffix prior to the hole number. The assay results and drilling activities are as described in the attached JORC Table 1 reports (Appendix B – JORC Tables).
2.1. Mineral Tenure
The tenement schedule pertaining to Forrestania’s projects is given in Table 1. The Western Australian tenements have been validated via the DMIRS Mineral Titles Online database. A detailed tenement plan and description is included in Section 0. All the tenements are currently not held by Forrestania. Forrestania has a number of purchase agreements with the current tenement holders. Further information on which is provided in the Solicitor’s Report.
VRM has made all reasonable enquiries regarding the status of these tenements and confirms that to the best of VRM’s knowledge the tenements remain in good standing with all statutory filings, reports and documentation supplied to the various government departments. As VRM and the authors of this Report are not experts in the mining acts for Western Australia, no warranty or guarantee, be it expressed or implied, is made by VRM with respect to the completeness or accuracy of the legal aspects regarding the security of the tenure. VRM relies on the government database which confirm the tenements Forrestania plans to purchase are, at the time of this Report, in good standing. Further information is provided in the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements included this Prospectus.

3. Forrestania Project
3.1. Location and Access
The Forrestania Project is located approximately 80 km east of Hyden within the Yilgarn and Phillips River Mineral Fields of the Youanme District in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia. The tenements lie within the 1:250,000 Hyden and Southern Cross Map Sheets and the 1:100,000 Ironcap, Holland and Cheritons Find Map Sheets. The project comprises one Mining Licence, two Prospecting Licences, 11 Exploration Licences and two Exploration Licence Applications, covering an area of approximately 615km[2] .
The project area sits approximately 400m above sea level and is predominately flat with little outcrop. Aeolian sand dunes are present where vegetation is sparse and occasional small salt lakes are located in the northern half of the project area. The tenement does not intersect any pastoral leases.
Access to the project area is via Hyden-Norseman Road, which runs east-west though the midst of the project area. The northern and southern project areas are then accessed via Marvel Loch-Forrestania Road. Unsealed tracks and gridlines provide internal tenement access.
3.2. Climate
The climate at the Forrestania project is characterised by hot summers and mild winters with an annual rainfall of approximately 339mm. Rain falls throughout the year, however; higher rainfalls occur in the winter months. The mean maximum temperature for January is 33.8[o] C. During July, the temperature means range from 4.7[o] C at night to 16.5[o] C during the day (www.bom.gov.au).
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
3.3. Regional Geology
The Forrestania Project area is located within the southern portion of the north-northwest trending Southern Cross-Forrestania Greenstone Belt of the Youanme Terrane of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 12). The greenstone belt is approximately 300km strike length and comprises two major sequences: a lower mafic-ultramafic sequence containing numerous banded iron formation (BIF) and chert horizons, and an upper sequence of clastic sedimentary rocks. The arcuate greenstone belt is enclosed by Archaean granitoids and gneisses, and intruded by granite plutons, flat lying pegmatite sills and a series of east-west trending Proterozoic dykes. These units are described by Woodhouse (2019) as follows.

Figure 12 - Yilgan Craton Regional Geology and ages of greenstones (modified from Stark et al., 2008).
The oldest known units are tholeiitic basalts from the eastern limb and quartz-muscovite meta-sedimentary units located on the western limb of the belt. Banded Iron Formations immediately overlie the footwall basalts and meta-sedimentary units in various locations. A fractionated sequence of komatiitic lavas overlie these rocks, ranging from high MgO lizardite-anthophyllite-talc-magnetite cumulates (metadunite) (which, in some locations, contain economic accumulations of nickel sulphide mineralisation), through to differentiated low MgO tremolite-chlorite ultramafics and gabbros. BIFs and banded siliceous cherts, which form laterally discontinuous units, are randomly intercalated throughout the fractionated ultramafic sequence. The ultramafic package is overlain in turn by high MgO basalts, which are interpreted to have formed during the final stages of ultramafic fractionation (Woodhouse, 2019). The youngest rocks that form the top of the stratigraphic pile are semi-pelitic and psammitic sedimentary units.

3.4. Local Geology
The tenements comprising the Forrestania Project are predominately situated within Archean granites, surrounding the Forrestania greenstone belt (FGB), and at the contact between the granites and the FGB.
E74/586 is predominantly coved by Yilgarn granite and sits on the eastern side of the FGB. A small portion of the tenement overlaps mafic volcanics of the greenstone belt in the northwest. Much of the southern area of E74/591 is covered by granite, while the northern area overlaps the FGB (Figure 14).

The Great Southern prospect (E77/2313) is one of the most actively investigated parts of the Forrestania Project area. The prospect has been sporadically mined for gold over the last 100 years. During the 1980s, production at Great Southern’s open pit is reported as 696 tonnes at 9.32g/t for 6,489g of Au (FarquharSmith, 1987). The project area is situated over the contact of two Archean granites. Two dolerite dykes are interpreted to cut the tenement in northwest-southeast and east-west directions.
E77/2345, a northern tenement in the Forrestania Project, is situated on the eastern edge of the FGB. The western portion of the tenement overlaps the FGB, covering an area of mafic volcanics. No komatiite or BIF units are present (GSWA). The remainder of the tenement is granite with the exception of east-west Proterozoic dolerite dykes in the north.

E77/2346 is positioned to the north of E74/586 and covers the eastern granite/greenstone contact of the FGB. The tenement’s geology is an equal mix of granite and mafic volcanics. No komatiite or BIF units are mapped in the tenement (GSWA).
The Crossroads prospect is hosted within E77/2348, the second largest of the tenements in the Forrestania Project. The tenement incorporates approximately 40km of granite / FGB contact. It is positioned between E77/2345 to the north and E77/2346 to the south, of which it shares similar geology. The tenement is

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
mapped as equally granite and mafic volcanics, with no komatiite or BIF units. E77/2364 is the northern most tenement in the Forrestania Project and is wholly comprised of granite with the exception of a small eastwest oriented Proterozoic dolerite dyke in the south.
The only tenements in the Forrestania Project wholly within the FGB, with no overlap on the surrounding granites are M77/549, E77/2719 and E77/2764. These tenements are deemed prospective for Li, Au, and Ni mineralisation. Rocks of the FGB present in the tenement areas are predominately ultramafic schists with pegmatites and a small regions of intermediate BIF chert quartzite and felsic schists. Granites are located approximately 1.5km to the east of the FGB, thereby making the area prospective for pegmatite deposits. E77/2764 includes an approximately north-south trending regional scale fault structure, which cuts through the centre of the tenement. M77/549, which hosts the Gemcutter prospect, is the only mining license in the Forrestania Project. An east-west oriented dolerite dyke cuts the tenement in the north (Figure 18).

Tenements E77/2575 and E77/2576 straddle the western granite-greenstone contact of the FGB and connect to the northern part of E74/591 (Figure 15). The area includes granite, mafic volcanics, komatiite and BIF units.
The Lady Lila (formerly Violet Haze) prospect is located within tenements P77/4325 and P77/4326. Lady Lila has a defined Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) reported in accordance with the JORC Code. The project area is comprised of metapelite, with north-south oriented a BIF band present through the middle of the tenements (Mukherji, 2004 & Mukherji, 2004b). The following geological information is sourced from the Haze Area Deposits Resource Statement February 1999 document. Geological interpretation completed by Aztec Mining indicates that the general stratigraphy of the area consists of metasediments, BIFs, and cherts in the eastern portion of the tenement that overlie an older sequence of komatiitic and high-magnesium basalts in the west. Black shales occur as small interbedded units throughout the stratigraphy, which dips gently to the east (10-35°) and strikes N-S, bending in an NNW direction in the far north of the tenement.
A major quartz dolerite unit occurs in the western part of the tenement, between the basaltic lithologies, and is the host rock for the Red and Blue Haze mineralisation. Strongly magnetic Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the stratigraphy in an east-west direction, splaying to the ENE, following magnetically interpreted fault directions. This trend is also the dominant fracture direction. A number of narrow shear zones lie subparallel to the shallow-dipping metasediment-mafic contact within the host stratigraphy and are important sites and conduits for the observed mineralisation.
The Lady Lila anomaly is located 4km east of the Red and Blue Haze mineralisation and is positioned well inside the younger sequence of metasediments in this area. The prospect is a linear, discontinuous, 1,400 metre long, N-S trending zone that dips steeply (60-70°) to the east and is hosted in narrow quartz stringers enveloped by garnetiferous, graphitic, pelitic sediments. The unit bifurcates in places and accompanies discontinuous chert beds that are not related to mineralisation.
Structurally, the area is quite complex and is positioned near the intersection of several major breakages and flexures in the regional stratigraphy in this part of the Forrestania greenstone belt. Numerous shear zones are evident throughout the area, particularly at changes of rock stratigraphy where there are rheological differences. Narrow, stacked, flat-dipping shear zones are evident within the quartz dolerite unit and may have resulted from thrusting of the younger sedimentary sequence over the mafic package from east to west. A similar model is predicted for Van Uden (10km northwards) where mineralised quartz veins appear to ‘stack’ through a host ferruginous metasediment.
3.5. Lady Lila Mineral Resource
The Lady Lila Deposit was discovered by Sons of Gwalia in the late 1980s (Harvey, 1999). A total of 244 drill holes (RAB and RC) for 13,868m were drilled at Lady Lila between 1989 and 1999 while the prospect was held by Aztec Mining, Forrestania Gold NL, and Viceroy Australia. In 2016 Fortuna SL Mining defined the current

inferred MRE, of 541,000 tonnes @ 1.38g/t Au for 24,000oz Au (Pollard, 2016). The entirety of the MRE sits within the northern of the two tenements (P77/4325) and is comprised of 3 individual lenses reflecting gold mineralisation above a nominal cut-off of 0.5g/t Au. These lenses dip between 75-85 degrees to the east and strike approximately north south, forming a discontinuous line of mineralisation. Lenses vary in width from two to five metres, with strike lengths varying between 50-400m. Mineralisation extends to depths between 50 and 80m below surface (Figure 19)

3.5.1.Drilling
In reviewing the available data for this mineral resource, a number of separate databases were identified. Following review against hard copy plots and assay results it was determined that the “haze.mdb” database was most accurate. Review of this database against the “haze_validated.mdb” database however identified a number of missing holes, primarily related to RAB drilling across the broader project area.
Comparison of the recorded collar locations for holes within both databases highlighted numerous significant discrepancies. In general, it was observed that the collar locations in the “haze_validated” database were frequently recorded in what appears to be planned coordinates. The “haze” database however had the
28

same holes recorded with what appears to be a high level of accuracy, with coordinates listed to three decimal places. The difference between recorded coordinates within each of the “haze” and “haze_validated” databases by northing, easting and elevation are presented in Figure 20, Figure 21 and Figure 22 below.

Sampling Approach

www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Reverse Circulation Drilling
Details of the splitter and drill rig configuration for RC drilling were not provided. Review of the database suggests that RC drilling was sampled on one metre intervals almost exclusively.
RAB Drilling
Based on investigation of the database RAB sampling was completed as four metre composites initially. If the composite result returned assays above the nominal threshold, individual samples of the interval in question were subsequently collected for analysis.
Sample Recovery
Sample recovery is recorded in the geological logging table within the database. With only 393 of the approximately 19,000 geological intervals assigned a value, it is not considered representative.
Sample Preparation Methods
Assays presented in the drill database consist of a range of aqua regia, fire assay and leach well analysis. The analytical laboratory is listed by drill hole in the collar table for 667 drill holes, with the remainder unknown. Determination of the analytical procedures employed was not completed.
Quality Control
The drill hole database did not include any details of QAQC results, and as such no analysis was possible.
3.5.4.Statement of Adequacy of Sampling Process
It is assumed that sampling practices employed during the respective drill programs followed standard industry practice in effect at the time. That the majority of the drilling forming this resource estimate is in excess of 15 years old, and that no detailed QAQC data can be presented raises some concerns about the reliability of the data. This has been taken into account in the assignment of the resource confidence.
3.5.5.Mineral Resource Estimation Results

3.5.6.Data
Review of the data for the Lady Lila deposit shows that a more significant component of the composites in these areas is comprised of RAB (17.6%). While these samples are likely to be less reliable, they have been included for two primary reasons. Firstly, these prospects contain relatively few composites and exclusion of approximately 20% of the data would likely preclude any estimate, and secondly that these estimates will be assigned a low confidence due to wide spaced data and limited intercepts.
3.5.7.Compositing
Investigation of the sample lengths for the relevant drill holes in the database showed that, in the zones of interest, sampling was conducted almost exclusively on one metre intervals. Based on this, composites were selected at one metre intervals and descriptive statistics calculated. This showed that one metre composites generated data sets with relatively low dispersion suggesting that the use of larger composites in order to “smooth” the data was not necessary.
Composites were created from the samples if they fell inside the relevant interpreted mineralisation wireframe. Composites were accepted for use in estimation if they passed 75% of the target length, or 0.75 metres. The overall composite statistics by prospect are presented in Table 5 below.
Table 5 - Composite Statistics by Prospect
| Prospect | Assay | Mean | Median | Mode | Std Dev | CoV | Min | Max | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lady Lila | Au (ppm) |

| Au Cut (ppm) |
1.67 | 0.91 | 6.57 | 1.69 | 1.01 | 0.04 | 6.57 | 205 |
3.5.8.Domaining Description and Statistics
The resource interpretation for each of the four prospects was conducted in Surpac using a sectional approach, where strings were generated at regular intervals in line with the drill spacing across the deposit and joined together to create a valid three-dimensional wireframe. Strings were generated using a nominal 0.5g/t Au cut-off. In some areas lower grades were included if it honoured the overall continuity of the interpreted mineralisation.
Domains were assigned in line with the individual wireframe objects generated through the interpretation. As each of these objects was a discrete body it was reasonable to treat them separately throughout the estimation process. In the case of the Blue Haze high grade domain, the domain number was modified with
33
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
domain 11 representing the low-grade portion of object 1, and domain 12 representing the high-grade portion.
The domain wireframes were used to flag the individual sample data within the database, with the respective domain number written to an intercept table. This flagged data was then composited at one metre intervals downhole, with a minimum acceptable interval length of 0.75m. Individual domain statistics for each prospect are presented in the following table.

3.5.9.Top Cuts
The composite data was reviewed to determine whether top-cuts may be necessary, and if so at what value they should be applied. The selection of the top-cut was done using both the Sichel mean and the disintegration point. Given that the data was observed to be approximately log-normal the un-cut Sichel mean was calculated for each dataset with the data then progressively cut further and further until the cut geometric mean (the anti-log of the mean of the log data) approximated the Sichel mean. This cut value was then reviewed against the relative disintegration point of the composites and a best-fit value applied.
Based on the limited data sets for some domains, and the fact that the Sichel mean calculated to be higher than the un-cut geometric mean, top cuts were not applied to all domains. Details of the cut values applied to the relevant domains are presented below.
| Prospect | Domain | Top-Cut (g/t) |
|---|---|---|

3.5.10.Variography
Assessment of suitable semi-variograms for each prospect and domain was completed in Supervisor. Composite data was imported and variography reviewed, focussing on those domains with the greatest data. Those domains for which a variogram could not be modelled were either assigned the variogram of a related domain or did not have a variogram developed and were estimated using inverse distance.
As is typical in gold deposits, the composite data displayed an approximate log-normal distribution. In order to assist with generation of variograms a log-transform was applied to the data. This was then backtransformed on export for use in estimation.
While no variogram models could be developed satisfactorily for the Lady Lila deposit, a search ellipse was applied considering the orientation of mineralisation within each prospect. Details of these ellipses are presented in Table 6.

The block model attributes were developed consistently for all prospects. The exception to this relates to the presence or otherwise of ordinary kriged or inverse distance estimated grade fields. Those prospects for which variograms could not be developed contain ID grade fields, while for the others contain the OK grade field. Details of the block model attributes are included in

3.5.13.Material Types and Bulk Densities
The densities applied across all resources estimated were assigned based on reported historical values for the Blue Haze area. They are constrained by a series of weathering surfaces representing transported, saprolite, saprock and fresh material. The bulk densities assigned are presented in Table 9.

With the exception of the Blue Haze area, no topographic surfaces were provided for use in the resource estimation process. In order to generate a surface with which to constrain the resource, the drill collar locations were exported from Surpac and used to generate a topographic surface. While this surface is unlikely to be accurate over small scales, due to the wide spaced nature of the drilling, it forms an acceptable approximation of the ground surface for use in the block model. Clearly this approach however assumes that the drill collar information is correct, which has been demonstrated in some instances to be uncertain.
3.5.14.Estimation Technique and Parameters
Once the empty block model was created, the interpreted mineralisation wireframes were used to code the blocks for estimation in each domain. This process was completed using the Surpac software program.
The resource was estimated using inverse distanced to the power of two (ID2). In all cases an ellipsoid search was employed. Refinement of the minimum and maximum samples for estimation was completed following execution of a kriging neighborhood analysis (KNA). The estimation parameters by prospect and deposit are presented in the following tables. Estimates were run on both the raw and cut composite data in order to assess the impact of the top-cut on the final resource value.

Despite running the estimate over multiple passes, there were a minor number of blocks which were unfilled. These were assigned the respective average domain grade and flagged using the ‘estimated’ attribute with the value set to 2.
3.5.15.Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
Processing Description
There is currently no processing infrastructure in place at the Forrestania Gold Project, with previously recovered ore processed at the Marvel Loch processing facility by Sons of Gwalia.
Metallurgical Testing
Prior to commencing mining of the Blue Haze deposit Sons of Gwalia commissioned Ammtec Ltd to complete a metallurgical testwork program of the mineralisation. This testwork involved testing of four composite samples representing oxide, fresh, and two separate transitional composites. Composites were developed from a selection of suitable RC drill chips. A comparison between gold head grades determined at different stages of the testwork program is shown in Table 11. The table shows variability between assays especially for the fresh composite, indicating the presence of ‘spotty’ gold.

3.6. Previous Exploration
3.6.1. E74/586
E74/586 was explored by Temby Minerals (Yuan, 2012; Yuan, 2012b) between the mid-2000s and mid-2010s. Five northeast-southwest lines of soil sampling were completed, which identified a small 10-20ppb Au anomaly from four samples in the north. This anomaly was tested with three RC holes, however; no significant gold assays were returned. The southern soil sampling lines detected elevated Ni above the granite (maximum value 714ppm Ni). Western Areas completed several detailed geophysical surveys, both ground and airborne, between 2004 and 2014, some of which overlapped E74/586. Western Area’s relinquished the area in 2014 due to low Ni prospectivity.
During 2018 Marindi Metals (Marindi), who are now Firefly Resources (Firefly), completed an 850x100m eastwest soil sampling survey over the tenement. The Ni anomaly identified by Temby Minerals could not be confirmed. Soil sampling by Marindi did identify the ‘Golf’ lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) anomaly at approximately 765987mE / 6374791mN, coincident with a pegmatite outcrop (Figure 23). Marindi planned to test the anomaly via auger soil sampling however, this has not been completed. A further LCT anomaly identified in the east of tenement, coincides with a small salt lake. Elevated Li assays are therefore likely a product of the salt brines.

3.6.2. E74/591
The northern portion of E74/591 overlaps the FGB and has returned several Au anomalies from historic and soil sampling programs by Sons of Gwalia (Mukherji, 2003), Forrestania Mining Corporation (Voermans, 2011) and Marindi (2018) in the Mt Stewart area (Figure 15). Detailed geological mapping was also completed by Sons of Gwalia during 2003 (Mukherji, 2003).
41
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
During the past 20 years limited drill holes have been completed in the tenement area by a variety of different companies including St Barbara (Mukherji, 2006), Jindalee Resources (Berridge, 2007) and Western Areas (Dreverman & Horvath, 2013; Woodhouse, 2013; Gribbin, 2016). These drilling programs did not test the identified soil anomalies and no significant Au or Ni mineralisation was intersected.
3.6.3. E74/627 (Kit Kat)
Between 2004 and 2014 the area was held by Western Areas. A detailed 200x40m program of auger soil sampling along the granite-greenstone contact was completed. Results include sporadic 10-55ppb Au assay results. Several geophysical surveys were also completed by Western Areas, including HoistEM, MLEM and aeromagnetics (Dreverman & Horvath, 2014; Dreverman & Horvath, 2013).
In 2019 Firefly subjected the Kit Kat project area to a Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) survey, which concentrated on the northern part of the tenement. An interpreted geological plan and 28 geophysical exploration targets were compiled, of which eight were assigned ‘priority 1’. Several of the priority 1 targets coincide with Au anomalies established from the earlier auger program, whilst being located on or around the interpreted granite-greenstone contact.
In September 2019 Firefly completed an 11-hole RC drill program designed to test the geochemical and geophysical gold anomalies at Kit Kat. Firefly concluded “Disappointedly, the assaying of the RC drill holes revealed that the source of the gold in soil anomalism was linked to low grade and narrow ~1 m quartz shears located on basalt/ultramafic contacts. A peak result of 0.15g/t Au was intersected in KKRC0002 at 5556 m.” (Marindi, 2019b).
3.6.4. E77/2313 (Great Southern)
Prior to the 1980s, Great Southern was mined for gold. The prospect has been explored for extensions to the mined zones, both along strike and down dip (Farquhar-Smith, 1987; Johnston, 2014). Occasional isolated patches of mineralisation including 6m @ 1.805g/t Au from 40m in GSD01 by Yilgarn Gold in 2002 (Dreverman, 2003) have been discovered.
Most recently, Firefly (2019) completed a 24-hole RC program. No significant mineralisation was intersected. Following the RC drill program, Firefly completed a geophysical targeting exercise based on SAM data. The geophysical data, coupled with results of the drill program indicated that controls of the high-grade mineralisation at Great Southern is northeast-southwest along the granite/granite contact, at 90[o] to the expected “along-strike” NW-SE direction that was historical mined and explored (Figure 24).

3.6.5. E77/2345
Sons of Gwalia completed a program of exploration throughout the eastern part of the E77/2345 tenement area between 1993 and 2004 (Mukherji, 2004c). Work included soil sampling, RAB drilling and geological mapping. Portions of the tenement around the granite/greenstone contact were mapped to a 1:25k scale. RAB drilling assays did not return any significant results.
Numerous anomalous areas of Au (10-40ppb) were identified by the soil sampling program. Two samples in close proximity returned Au Assays of >300ppb centred around sample ID 1884639_201_613 (764080mE, 6437925mN).
Marindi completed a program of east-west soil sampling throughout the tenement and 33 RC and 277 AC drill holes during 2017 and 2018 (Marindi, 2018). Soil sampling generated a LCT anomaly named ‘Tillerson’ in the northern part of the tenement (Figure 25). This was the focus of the drilling programs, along with a secondary focus on testing some gold anomalies in the same area. Limited thin pegmatites were intercepted, but none were prospective for LCT. Results from the Marindi drilling campaign resulted in the company not

recommending any further Li exploration in this area. With respect to Au, no significant mineralisation was encountered.
==> picture [470 x 423] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 25 – Marindi Metals LCT Soil Anomalies in E77/2345
3.6.6. E77/2346
E77/2346 has been subject to a number of small-medium programs of soil sampling and drilling since the turn of the century (including Wicks, 2004; Wicks, 2006; Berridge, 2006). Exploration focus was Au, Ni and PGEs, but no significant results were encountered from any of the soil and drilling campaigns. Samples predominantly returned very low Au assay levels, with occasional 10-30ppb Au samples encountered.
Between 2004 and 2014 the area was held by Western Areas. Several geophysical surveys were completed including HoistEM, MLEM and Aeromagnetics (Dreverman & Hervath, 2014). During 2017-2018 Marindi
44
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
completed a program of 700 soil samples across the tenement, exploring for Au and LCT pegmatites (Marindi, 2017). No significant anomalous areas of Au, Li, or Ni were encountered. The company concluded that, due to the thick nature of transported material in the area, near surface soil sampling may not have been sufficient to detect anomalous Au, 1-3m deep auger would instead be more suitable, but no further work was completed.
3.6.7. E77/2348 (Crossroads)
The tenement, which hosts the Crossroads prospect, has been subject to moderate levels of exploration, with 4 significant programs of soil sampling and one AC drill program completed prior to Marindi ownership. The various soil programs were scattered throughout the tenement and mostly encountered very low-level Au, Ni and PGEs, with occasional slightly anomalous Au and Ni. A soil sampling program completed by T W Mining (Wicks, 2002) in the south of the tenement discovered anomalous Au (10-30ppb). A follow-up soil sampling program by Marindi in 2018 encountered numerous anomalous Au samples, including one at 0.834 g/t (Marindi, 2018). Later in 2018 Marindi undertook a maiden drill program to test this Au anomaly (Figure 26). It totalled 2,607m of RC drilling but failed to intercept any significant Au mineralisation. Sulphide assemblages (pyrite-pyrrhotite +/- bismuthinite) were encountered within the hanging wall and footwall zones of the granite-greenstone contact, which were accompanied by late stage extensional silicification.
Prior to the Marindi drilling, the only historic drilling in the tenement area was a 21-hole AC program completed by Cassini Resources in 2012 (Miles, 2012). This program was located approximately 60km northeast of Crossroads. It comprised a single traverse of holes designed to test a gravity feature interpreted as an extension of the greenstone sequence. End of hole lithologies were predominantly metasediments with lesser mafic units. Only low-level gold values were returned, with a best result of 4m @ 0.13 g/t Au from 8m in hole NH12-11. No further work appears to have been completed at this site.

Figure 26 - Geology Plan of the Au-4 Anomaly in Southern E77/2348 with Soil Au Anomaly Overlain (semitransparent) and Drilling
The Crossroads prospect is located midway up the western edge of E77/2348. Drilling by Firefly in 2019 discovered approximately 300m strike length of mineralisation from three drill sections, which remains open along strike in both directions. Despite positive along strike continuity, the up/down dip continuity remains unclear, with the highgrade intercepts of drill holes being unsupported by surrounding holes. The lack of conclusive up/down dip continuity requires further work to determine if the drill results reflect the nature of mineralisation at the project.

3.6.8.E77/2364
Historic work at E77/2365 is limited to a few programs of soil sampling and a small-scale RAB program during the 1980s and 1990s. No significant results were generated from these work programs.
During 2018, Marindi completed soil sampling along several east-west lines in the southern part of E77/2364. Exploration was focussed on Au and Li, but no significant anomalies were identified.
3.6.9. E77/2819
Sons of Gwalia completed a program of exploration throughout the E77/2819 tenement area between 1993 and 2004 (Mukherji, 2004c). Work included soil sampling, RAB drilling and geological mapping. Thirty-four holes from the drilling program were completed within the tenement area of E77/2819 expected to be granted to Forrestania. RAB drilling assays did not return any significant results.
3.6.10. E77/2764
Historic exploration within the area of E77/2764 expected to be grated to Forrestania is limited. Previous owners Montague Resources Australia Pty Ltd (Montague) (Dolan, 2021) completed data consolidation, a structural study, aerial photography, and soil geochemical sampling.
In 2016, a structural study of the project was completed by Montague with the aim of identifying areas of prospective lithium and gold mineralisation. This study identified a prospective north-south striking band of ground approximately 400m wide.
A soil sampling program was subsequently completed over the tenement area during 2018. 180 soil samples were collected on a 100m x 200m grid, from the soil C-horizon. These were sieved to pass 2 mm and assayed by ALS Perth using a trace multielement, four acid digestion with ICP-MS finish. Minor lithium anomalism was returned in a north-east trending zone across the tenement. An additional 180 samples were collected in an infill sampling programme completed in 2019. Samples were spaced across the tenement to 100x100m. Results were not indicative of significant mineralisation for lithium or gold.
Based on these results the tenement was not deemed prospective for significant lithium, nickel or gold mineralisation and was thus surrendered (Dolan, 2021).
3.6.11. M77/549 (Gemcutter)
Marindi produce a detailed interpreted geological map of the tenement (Figure 18) during 2016. This identified a swarm of pegmatites running approximately north-south in the tenement. During the 2016-2017 reporting year an 80x100m soil sampling program was completed over the tenement with the aim of identifying LCT pegmatite and Au anomalies. A strong tantalum anomaly was identified around the Giant
47

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Pegmatite outcrop in the north of the tenement (Figure 18). This area was the subject of Marindi’s maiden drilling campaign.
A total of 40 RC drill holes for a total of 4,267m were drilled. Several of the drill holes intersected lithium bearing pegmatite dykes with variable mineralogy. Pegmatites range from 1m to 10m in true thickness. The largest pegmatite intersection was 106m in drill hole GPRC06. The hole was drilled straight down dip of an unknown pegmatite with no surface expression. GPRC06 hosts significant spodumene and petalite mineralisation and returned an intersection of 33m @ 3.2% Li2O from 69m, including 13m @ 4% Li20 from 81m. A scissor drill hole (GPRC26) intersected 8m @ 1.2% Li2O, including 4m @ 2.1% Li2O. Lithium mineralisation is depleted in the weathered profile and strike and dip of the pegmatites vary. There are two dominant orientations. The first is north-west striking bodies with a dip of 60 degrees to sub vertical to the southwest. The second are north-south striking bodies with a shallow dip to the east. Marindi concluded that the full extent of pegmatite mineralisation at Gemcutter has not been tested and further drilling is required, but to date no further drilling has been completed.
In 2019, Firefly completed a seven-hole RC program, totalling 674m at Gemcutter (Marindi, 2019). The program targeted Au mineralisation around the ultramafic-mafic contact in the south-eastern corner of the tenement, following reports of visible gold in the 1970s AMEX drill hole MHD20, which is lacking assays. The program was successful in identifying an Au mineralised sheared contact, with three of the holes intercepting mineralisation. This includes GPRC0041 - 21m @ 3.2g/t gold from 34m, including 3m @ 4.58g/t and 1m @ 33.1g/t (Figure 27 and Figure 28). A follow-up program of drilling was planned by Firefly, as outlined on Figure 27 and Figure 28, but not completed.

3.6.12. E77/2575 and E77/2576
During the period between 1970 and 1990, the tenement areas were explored via soil sampling. A compilation and review of this historic data was completed Kagara Nickel 2009 (Moulang, 2009). Sons of Gwalia held the tenement in the early 2000s and completed subsequent soil surveys and detailed geological mapping (Mukherji, 2003).
A distinct Au anomaly is defined from the soil sampling data. The anomaly is approximately 5.5km long and is oriented north-northwest-south-southeast. An approximately 1.8km section of the anomaly located in the north of E77/2575 includes a number of >30 ppb Au assays (including one @ 148ppb Au) (Figure 15).
Western Areas held the ground during much of the 2010s and completed a MLEM geophysical survey in the northern part of E77/2575, which identified an EM conductor (Woodhouse, 2012). The conductor was targeted by Crazy Chameleon in 2013 (Woodhouse, 2013). A single hole was drilled over the conductor, but no significant results were encountered, and the tenements was surrendered in 2019.
3.6.13. E77/2701
Two historic drill holes are present on the tenement, neither of which contained anomalous Au levels (GSWA). During 2019, Zenith Minerals completed a soil sampling program (D’Hulst, 2020). The survey covered the entire tenement on a 100x400m grid and a total of 284 samples were collected and assayed. No significant results were received, with maximum values of 10ppb Au and 49ppm Li (D’Hulst, 2020).

3.6.14. P77/4325 and P77/4326 (Lady Lila)
Mineralisation at Lady Lila was discovered by Sons of Gwalia in the late 1980s (Harvey, 1999). A total of 244 drill holes (RAB and RC) for 13,868m were drilled at Lady Lila between 1989 and 1999 while the project was held by Aztec Mining, Forrestania Gold NL, and Viceroy Australia (Pollard, 2016). In 2016, Fortuna SL Mining completed a JORC MRE. This currently stands at 541,000 tonnes @ 1.38g/t Au for 24,000oz Au.
==> picture [505 x 400] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 29 - Drill hole intersects at Lady Lila
Between 1998 and 2000 Sons of Gwalia completed a detailed auger soil sampling program across both tenements. The soil sampling program delineated a north-south oriented, near continuous Au anomaly, which continues the majority of the length of the two tenements (Figure 30). The most anomalous area is in the north of the tenement areas, surrounding Lady Lila. A weaker anomalous zone continues south through P77/4326.

3.7. Exploration Potential
It is VRM’s opinion that potential for economic gold mineralisation at the Forrestania Project has not been fully evaluated and additional work is recommended. Existing prospects Gemcutter, Great Southern, Cross Roads, Lady Lila and Kit Kat require further investigation as well as a number of targets identified by Forrestania.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
3.7.1. Gemcutter
The 2019 RC program completed by Firefly at Gemcutter (Marindi, 2019) identified an Au mineralised sheared contact, with three holes intercepting mineralisation. This includes GPRC0041 - 21m @ 3.2g/t gold from 34m, including 3m @ 4.58g/t and 1m @ 33.1g/t (Figure 27 and Figure 28). A follow-up program of drilling, as outlined on Figure 27 and Figure 28, is yet to be completed.
3.7.2. Great Southern
Targets defined from SAM at Great Southern (Figure 31) have not been adequately explored. RC drilling, completed prior to the geophysical survey predominately missed the priority SAM targets. Furthermore, target GS-19, coinciding with anomalous Au samples from a 2019 auger program, is yet to be tested (Figure 32).

3.7.3. Cross Roads
At Crossroads, up/down dip continuity of gold mineralisation remains unclear, with the high-grade intercepts encountered in drill holes unsupported by results from surrounding holes, despite positive along strike continuity. The lack of conclusive up/down dip continuity requires further work to determine whether drill results reflect the nature of mineralisation at the project.
3.7.4. Kit Kat
Placement of Firefly’s (2019) drill holes at the Kit Kat Project may not have adequately tested the defined targets. Forrestania have identified new target locations utilizing prospective geology, priority geophysical and strong geochemical anomalies. These targets are shown in Figure 33 and include priority targets KK0206.

3.7.5. Lady Lila
The gold anomaly defined from soil sampling by Sons of Gwalia is yet to be adequately tested at P77/4325 and P77/4326. The anomaly is most defined surrounding the Lady Lila prospect in the north of the tenement areas, however anomalous assay results do persist towards the south. Furthermore, at Lady Lila, current drilling and therefore the MRE does not extend far beyond fresh rock. Drill sections do, however, show mineralisation open at depth. There is therefore potential to increase the footprint of defined mineralisation at Lady Lila with further drilling directed down dip.
In addition, six gold and one nickel target have been defined by Forrestania.
- Two identified Au anomalies remain untested on tenement E74/591. Firstly (Au-1), identified from Sons of Gwalia auger sampling (Mukherji, 2003), centred on sample SF000403 (754360mE, 6387516mN) which returned 44 ppb Au. The sample is part of a nine sample, 400m long zone of 1744ppb Au assays. The sampling line 400m to the southeast also returned anomalous values. Sampling does not test the northern strike extension of the anomaly. The anomaly is located on the FGB, proximal to the granite-greenstone contact.
55
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
-
The second anomaly (Au-2) was identified from the Marindi (2018) soil sampling along with one ARC auger sample (Voermans, 2011). Five samples with elevated Au are spread over approximately 450x130m. Results peak at 68ppb Au (sample ID MZN10494). According to mapping by GSWA, the anomaly is situated on granite enclosed within the FGB. Both Au-1 and Au-2 coincide with breaks in magnetic highs according to the regional aeromagnetic data.
-
Two samples in close proximity on E77/2345 returned Au Assays of >300ppb centred around sample ID 1884639_201_613 (764080mE, 6437925mN). This untested anomaly is target Au-3.
-
A follow-up soil sampling program by Marindi in 2018 encountered numerous anomalous Au samples, including 0.834 g/t (Au-4) on E77/2348 (Marindi, 2018). This area was unsuccessfully drill tested by Marindi (2018), however the lack of drill hole location success could be attributed to inadequate depth of soil sampling. Au may be sourced from further than originally estimated. To test this, the area could be re-sampled utilizing deeper (1-3m) auger sampling.
-
At E77/2348, end of hole lithologies reported from drilling are predominantly metasediments with lesser mafic units. Only low-level gold values were returned, with a best result of 4m @ 0.13 g/t Au from 8m in hole NH12-11. Forrestania has classified this as target Au-5 due to the belief that the drilling was merely reconnaissance in nature. Work completed close to Au-5 by Marindi/Firefly is limited to soil sampling, which found no anomalies. Follow-up of target Au-5 should be completed utilising deep (1-3m) methods of soil auger sampling.
-
Most of the soil sampling at Gemcutter shows elevated Ni levels, however due to the tenement’s situation over ultramafic rocks, these levels may reflect background values from the bedrock. One drill hole (GPRC036) from the north-eastern zone of the tenement intersected 12m @ 1.09% Ni, from 21m, including 2m @ 2.66% Ni (Marindi, 2019). Notably, the sample is from a weathered zone, which may account for the anomalous Ni concentration. Further work is required to assess the potential for economic concentrations of Ni sulphide mineralisation in the fresh material. The sample location sits within the favourable Eastern Ultramafic Belt (EUB), which hosts the Cosmic Boy and Diggers Rock Ni deposits. This anomaly has been classified as Ni-1.
-
A distinct Au anomaly is defined from the soil sampling data at E77/2575. The anomaly is approximately 5.5km long and is oriented north-northwest-south-southeast. An approximately 1.8km section of the anomaly located in the north of the tenement includes a number of >30 ppb Au assays (including one @ 148ppb Au) (Figure 15). This anomaly has been classified as Au-6 and is worthy of further investigation.
The area has minimal outcrop and a significant cover of transported material, thus shallow soil sampling and field mapping are unreliable and challenging. More penetrative means of exploration are required to determine the prospectivity of this project area. This should include geophysical surveys over key prospects and anomalies to determine geology and structure, and resampling areas with deeper auger soil sampling to penetrate the transported cover. This may define new targets in the Forrestania Project area.

4. Southern Cross Project
4.1. Location and Access
The Southern Cross Project tenements are scattered within close proximity to the town of Southern Cross, within the Yilgarn Mineral Field in the Youanme Terrain of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia. The tenements lie within the 1:250,000 Southern Cross and 1:100,000 Southern Cross Map Sheets. The project comprises five tenements; one Exploration Licence, one Exploration Licence Application, two Prospecting Licences and one Mining Licence, covering 144.28km[2] (~32.08km[2] granted).
The project area sits approximately 380m above sea level and has a subdued topography. The tenements do not intersect any pastoral leases. Much of the tenements’ area covers arable agricultural land, with areas of scrub-land and small salt lakes. The northern portion of the Exploration Lease Application covers the majority of Lake Koorkoordine.
Access to the project area is via the Great Eastern Highway to Southern Cross town. The southern tenement area is accessible via unsealed road east of Forrestania-Southern Cross Rd. The northern project area, including the two Prospecting Licences, is accessed via unsealed tracks to the east and southwest of KoordaBullfinch Road.
4.2. Climate
The Southern Cross area is characterised by hot summers and mild winters with an annual rainfall of approximately 292mm. Rain falls throughout the year, with higher rainfall in the winter months. The mean maximum temperature for January is 34.5[o] C. During July, the temperature means range from 4.4[o] C at night to 16.3[o] C during the day (www.bom.gov.au).
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.

Cross Greenstone Belt, which extends along strike for approximately 300km from Mt Jackson to Hatter Hill in the south.
The elongate belt is divided into an upper and lower greenstone sequence, separated by a major unconformity. It is a strongly deformed, metamorphosed, synformal remnant of a once larger greenstone assemblage that has been shaped and attenuated by the emplacement of domal, syn-tectonic granitoids (Gee, 1995) including the Ghooli, Parker, and Rankin Domes (Gee, 1982; Keats, 1991).
The lower most stratigraphic level of the Archean greenstone sequence comprises quartz-muscovite schist, which is overlain by pillowed tholeiitic basalt with interbedded thin jaspilite units, passing upward into komatiite with related interflow sedimentary units. The package is subsequently overlain by mafic and ultramafic volcanics. A sequence of psammitic and pelitic rocks occurs near the top of this lower sequence. The entire greenstone sequence is intruded by late-stage pegmatites and the belt has been cross cut by Proterozoic dolerite dykes (Drabble, 2021b).
Deformation in the area is attributed to compression between diapirically rising granitoids and dextral transpressional movement (Gee, 1995). This progressive deformation process has produced upright folds, possible sheath folds, dextral oblique-slip transpressional shears and discrete faults. Gold mineralisation is observed in the structural elements related to transpressional movement following peak metamorphism (Gee, 1995).
Regionally, sheared lithological contacts are the primary control on the distribution of gold mineralisation, with the majority of the belt’s production derived from shear-hosted deposits (e.g., Marvel Loch, Yilgarn Star and Frasers). Shear zone-hosted deposits generally occur near or along lithological contacts within broad, ductile shear zones that are commonly much wider than the zone of mineralisation. These deposits contain single or multi-sheeted lodes, which parallel the stratigraphy and generally plunge parallel to the mineral lineation (Ridley, 1995).
Less common fold hinge deposits, usually in BIF (e.g., Copperhead, Golden Pig and Bounty) also host gold mineralisation in the belt. They generally consist of thin stockwork veins sub-parallel to the fold hinges (Ridley, 1995).
Major gold deposits are quartz-sulphide lodes in shear zones and sheared lithological contacts with variable biotite-carbonate-silica diopside alteration and varying degrees of gold mineralisation in the altered wall rocks. Dominant sulphide minerals associated with gold ores of the district are pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite as well as sporadic galena and scheelite. Gold occurs as free particles and as inclusions in pyrite and arsenopyrite (Drabble, 2021b).
The metamorphic grade of the Southern Cross greenstone belt ranges from upper greenschist to granulite facies. Higher metamorphic grades are generally close to the granitoid-greenstone contacts and are confined to the narrower portions of the greenstone belt. Greenschist facies assemblages are found in thick

massive gabbroic intrusions. Regionally, the higher grades of metamorphism are attributed to the depth of burial of the rocks rather than a granitoid contact metamorphic effect (Drabble, 2021b).

4.4. Local Geology
4.4.1. E77/2656 – Panizza Road
Cenozoic cover comprising ferruginous gravel and duricrust above psammite bedrock blankets the majority of E77/2656. Minor alluvium and colluvium cover the remainder of the tenement. Sparse outcrops of psammite, meta-komatiitic basalt and metagabbro are scattered throughout the area.

www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Bedrock is dominated by a psammitic unit situated in the centre of the tenement. The tenement’s northeast corner is granite, while the southeast comprises units of the Youanmi Terrance greenstone belt. Rocks of the greenstone belt include komatiitic basalt, metagabbro, amphibolite and tremolite-chlorite schist (Figure 36)
4.4.2. E77/2676 – Ghooli Dome
E77/2676 is situated over a 30 km contact between Southern Cross greenstone belt and the granitoid Ghooli Dome. The tenement predominantly covers the Archean granite, which is classified as a locally migmatitic granitic gneiss. The gneiss bounds the eastern side of the greenstone belt and at several points, overlaps it. Units of the greenstone belt include pelite, meta basalt, komatiitic basalt, amphibolite, and ultramafic schist.
Surface geology is mostly comprised of granite derived quartzo-feldspathic gravel/sand and sheetwash deposits of clay, silt, and sand. Few minor outcrops of greenstone and granite are present.
Structurally, a number of fault/shear zones are present at various contacts in the greenstone belt, predominately trending northwest southeast. In addition, several younger southwest-northeast crosscutting faults/shears cut the greenstones and granite (Figure 37).
4.4.3. M77/1266 – Irene Betty
Irene Betty (M77/1266) is a relatively small mining licence within the greenstone belt. The area has been subjected to extensive historical exploration and small-scale mining.
The tenement is wholly located over units of the Southern Cross greenstone belt, with northwest trending parallel units of mafic schist, tremolite-chlorite schist, meta-komatiitic basalt and metagabbro (Figure 38). A single fault/shear zone runs along the metagabbro-mafic schist contact. The tenement has no mapped cover (GSWA). Historic drilling has shown the Irene Betty mineralisation to be hosted within a quartz reef (5-25% quartz) within amphibolite lava. Mineralised zones feature variable degrees of chlorite, tremolite, pyrite and pyrrhotite alteration (Durey, 1987).

4.4.4. P77/4544 – Athenian
Athenian (P77/4544) was subject to small scale underground operations and minor shallow surface excavations prior to 1940. A number of shafts are present within the tenement, with the main areas of work located within the south-eastern half of the tenement.
Two thirds of the surface geology is defined as sheetwash and alluvial deposits of clay, silt, and sand, with local ferruginous gravel, predominantly in the west of the tenement. Exposed greenstone belt outcrops are present in the east.

www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
The units of the Southern Cross greenstone belt cover the majority of the tenement, with the Mount Rankin granite covering the remaining. The greenstone units are comprised of units (west to east); metabasalt, meta-komatiitic basalt, tremolite-chlorite schist and metagabbro (Figure 38).
The tenement hosts a number of inferred fault/shear zones along northwest trending lithological boundaries.
Mineralisation at Athenian is described by Mullan (2012) as follows. The main Athenian workings are hosted in an iron-rich quartz lode developed at the contact between mafic and ultramafic rocks. Mining occurred along a northwest-southeast trending 80 m segment of the vein system. At Athenian West a sulphide horizon extends along a northwest trend up to 1.5 km following the regional shear orientation and is untested with drilling. Mineralisation is interpreted as associated with shearing of a BIF unit. At Athenian South, gold is hosted in quartz veining which outcrops to the surface (Mullan, 2012).
4.4.5. P77/4546 – Babylonian
Babylonian (P77/4546) was subject to small scale underground mining prior to 1940. Numerous abandoned shafts can be found within the tenement. Total recorded gold production for the Babylonian group was 1,035 ounces of gold from 1,043 tonnes of ore at 30.87g/t gold (Mullan, 2012b).
Babylonian is predominantly covered by sheetwash and alluvial deposits of clay, silt, and sand, with local ferruginous gravel. A small area of bedrock is exposed in the northeast of the tenement. The outcrops include granite and amphibolite; with thin northwest trending BIF units incorporated (Figure 38).
The tenement is predominately granite with minor amphibolite. Two granites are present in the area, namely the Mount Rankin Granite (Neoarchean) in the west and an undivided granite (Neo-Mesoarchean). The undivided granite separates the Mount Rankin Granite from amphibolite. The amphibolite is derived from mafic volcanics and forms the western most part of the Southern Cross greenstone belt. The presence of BIF is documented in historical reports, but it is not recorded on GSWA mapping.
A northwest trending fault/shear zone marks the granite/greenstone contact. A west-southwest trending fault/shear zone is also inferred in GSWA mapping. The structure starts begins in the greenstone belt and terminates within P77/4546, part way through the undivided granite.
Mullan (2012b) defines the Au mineralisation as being predominately hosted in ferruginous quartz reefs with an association with BIFs. Faulting has caused small scale local offsets. The quartz reefs and the adjacent country rock have minor sulphides, mainly pyrite and covellite (Mullan, 2012b).

4.5. Previous Exploration
4.5.1. E77/2656 – Panizza Road
Sons of Gwalia held the tenement area during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Three soil sampling programs were completed over the north of the tenement area (Westaway, 2000; Westaway, 2002; Mukherji, 2003). Anomalous Au assays were returned, with a highlight of 42-55ppb Au from the western tenement boundary. This area of anomalous Au is open to the east and south.
Approximately 1.5km to the east of this anomaly, several samples returned assays of 10-20 ppb Au over Archean granites. Furthermore, three consecutive samples returned 23, 26 and 32 ppb Au from Sons of Gwalia’s 1999 sampling program (Westaway, 2000). No sampling was completed to the south or west of this anomaly.
Two soil sampling programs have been completed in the south of the tenement area by Sons of Gwalia (Westaway, 2002b) and Bullseye Mining (Cooke, 2020). The majority of results are not significant, apart from two samples located proximal to the southern border (52 and 74 ppb Au) (Westaway, 2002b).
Several small programs of RAB and AC drilling have been completed within the tenement area, at various points during the past 20+ years. These have all been reconnaissance in nature and the majority have been unsuccessful intercepting significant mineralisation (Drabble, 2021b). The highest Au intercept: 0.15 g/t, was encountered in SNX026, during 1994 by a Sons of Gwalia RAB program that involved a single traverse of ultramafic bedrock (Westaway, 2002b).

4.5.2. E77/2676 – Ghooli Dome
Ghooli Dome (E77/2676) has minimal historical exploration, most likely due to it being situated in Archean granites, which were previously regarded as unprospective. Sons of Gwalia completed soil sampling over the granite/greenstone contact in the centre of the tenement on 40x400m spacing (Davies, 1999). Gold assay results were predominately background levels with sporadic results of 10-15 ppb.

4.5.3. M77/1266 – Irene Betty
Broken Hill Metals and Welcome Stranger Mining explored the Irene Betty tenement (M77/1266) during the 1980s (Durey, 1987; Edwards, 1989). Welcome Stranger completed a nine-hole RAB drilling program in 1987, which returned a number of intercepts of >0.8g/t Au including 8 m @ 18.69g/t (Durey, 1987).
A ten-hole RC drill program was completed by Broken Hill Metals to follow-up the anomalous results. Six holes intercepted >1 g/t Au intervals with highlights including IRC002, 3m @ 1.69g/t Au and IRC005, 1m @3.49g/t Au (Edwards, 1990).
4.5.4. P77/4544 – Athenian
Athenian is a historically mined Au prospect, which was subject to small scale underground operations and minor shallow surface excavations prior to 1940. Significant work was completed at Athenian by a number of parties during the early 1990s, specifically Broken Hill Metals (Edwards, 1990) and Mr Della Bosca RR (Strange, 1994). Highlights from this period include a number of significant intercepts from RC drilling, including 2m @ 2.75 g/t from 5m in AMRC2 (Edwards, 1990), 5m @ 4.45 g/t from 39m in ARC023 (Hopkins, 1992) and 3m @ 4.03g/t from 39m in ARC-1 (Strange, 1994).
More recently, Bullseye mining completed a number of programs over the tenement area (Mullan, 2012 & 2012b). Rock chip and soil sampling completed in 2012 covered the majority of the tenement with a 50x50m soil sampling grid. Rock chip sampling was scattered throughout based on outcrop location. Ten samples returned above 0.2 g/t Au, of which five samples were greater than 2 g/t Au, with a maximum of 10.4 g/t Au. Soil Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) analysis was completed which generally reflects the highs shown in the rock chip sampling (Mullan, 2012). Figure 40 displays the Athenian Au anomalies as defined from the 2012 surface sampling.
Bullseye Mining surrendered the tenement in 2020. The final surrender report (Cooke, 2020) references drilling at Athenian during 2018-2019, however no drillhole collar details or results are available.

4.5.5. P77/4546 – Babylonian
Babylonian was subject to small scale underground mining prior to 1940. A detailed soil MMI and rock chip sampling program was recently completed by Bullseye Mining (Mullan, 2012). Soil sampling covers the majority of the tenement at 50x75 m spacing. Rock chip sampling is scattered throughout the tenement based on outcrop location. Four rock chip samples returned greater than 1 g/t Au, with a maximum of 3.25 g/t. As with P77/4544, soil MMI moderately reflects the highs shown in the rock chip sampling. Figure 41 displays the Au anomalies from this surface sampling. In addition to Au, the soil sampling displays elevated Ni, mostly 500-1,500 ppm including nine samples with >3,000 ppm and a maximum of 3,570 ppm.
Bullseye Mining reported that drilling was planned at the tenement, however this was never completed. www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872

4.6. Exploration Potential
It is VRM’s opinion that potential for economic gold mineralisation at the Southern Cross Project has not been fully evaluated and additional work is recommended. The tenements are situated on Archean granites and Southern Cross greenstone belt rocks. The region has been historically explored with a focus on the greenstone belt. In addition to greenstone shear-hosted gold deposits, Forrestania is targeting granitehosted deposits.
New geological models for late Archean granite-controlled shear zone/fault hosted mineralisation theorise that gold forming fluids, formed at deep crustal levels do not discriminate between lithologies when emplaced in the upper crust. Applying this theory, Forrestania have defined seven targets (Figure 42).
- Additional soil sampling at Panizza Road (E77/2656) is advised to determine the extent of the anomaly defined by Sons of Gwalia (target Au-1).

-
Soil sampling by Sons of Gwalia (Westaway, 2002b) retuned two anomalous assays (52 and 74ppm Au) at Panizza Road in an area with further scattered anomalous Au values of 10-20 ppb. Geologically, this area is defined as an ultramafic schist set in metasandstone (Figure 36), providing the contrast in ductility that is commonly associated with Au deposits in the region. Additionally, a significant fault/shear zone runs north-south to the west of this area. As this area has limited soil sampling coverage, a program that encompasses the entire region is recommended. This target is Au-2.
-
Sons of Gwalia’s 1999 soil sampling program highlighted three consecutive samples of 23, 26 and 32 ppb Au at Panizza Road. Soil sampling did not continue south or west of this anomaly; therefore, it remains open. This target is Au-3 and holds potential for a late-Archean hosted granite Au deposit.
-
Historic surface sampling has highlighted zones of anomalous Au at Athenian. Furthermore, drilling assays from the 1990s returned anomalous Au levels. Forrestania have defined three Au targets (Au4, Au-5, and Au-6) co-incident with surface Au anomalies at Athenian. Recent drilling results from Bullseye’s 2019 campaign in this tenement have not been made available for review.
-
Soil sampling at Babylonian highlighted a zone of anomalous Au. This zone is target Au-7

The Southern Cross Project area warrants further exploration beyond the above-mentioned targets. Further field mapping could complement and improve current GSWA 100K data and could define new areas of potential host rock. Geophysical surveys could aid in the understanding of the mineralised system and controls on mineralisation. This could assist in defining further targets at the Southern Cross project.

5. Leonora Project
5.1. Location and Access
The tenements that comprise the Leonora Project are generally non-contiguous and scattered over approximately 200km within the Mt Margaret and North Coolgardie Mineral Fields of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane in the Yilgarn Craton. The tenements lie within the 1:250,000 Laverton and Menzies Map Sheets and the 1:100,000 Ballard, Menzies, Melita, Minerie and Nambi Map Sheets. The southernmost tenement is approximately 15 km southeast of the town of Menzies, and the northern most approximately 70 km northeast of Leonora (Figure 1). The Project includes one Exploration Licence and five Exploration Licence Applications, covering a total of 853.5km[2] .
The project area sits approximately 350m-500m above sea level. Granite outcrops amongst alluvial plains and seasonal creeks with resulting low-lying undulations in topography. Salt lakes are present on the southern tenements. The tenements intersect several pastoral leases, namely the Sturt Meadows (N050635), Melita (N050242 / N050241), Jeedamya (N050457), Mt Vetters (N050272), Nambi (N049822), Mertondale (N049506), and Minara (N049712).

Figure 43 - Leonora project tenements outline on Google Earth imagery
Access to the project is via the Goldfield Highway, which runs approximately north-south through the midst of the project area. Access to the northern tenements is via the Leonora-Nambi Road and then via dirt tracks and gridlines. The southern tenements are accessed via north-south tracks and grid lines from the Goldfields Highway toward Menzies.
5.2. Climate
The Leonora area is characterised by hot summers and mild winters with an annual rainfall of approximately 236.4mm. Rain falls throughout the year, with slightly higher rainfalls in the winter months. The mean maximum temperature for January is 37[o] C. During July, the temperature means range from 6.1[o] C at night to 18.4[o] C during the day (www.bom.gov.au). www.varm.com.au 74 PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Generally, in VRM’s opinion and based on experience working in the area, the climatic conditions do not have a significant impact on the ability to undertake exploration throughout the year.
5.3. Regional Geology
The Leonora project area is situated in and around the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt, in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGST) of the Yilgarn Craton (Figure 12). The southern group of tenements are positioned on the eastern edge of the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the EGST. The northern group of tenements are located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the EGST.
The southern tenement group is positioned on and around the Moriaty Shear Zone (MSZ) (Figure 44). According to Swager (1994), the MSZ is at least 500 m and possibly up to one kilometre wide. It comprises granitoid gneiss with interleaved amphibolite and ultramafic schist layers/lenses. Southwards, the shear zone is transitional into the Scotia-Kanowna Anticline. The northern extent of the MSZ is not well defined.
The northern group of tenements are situated on the southwestern side of the Mt. Margaret Dome in the area between the Ninnis Fault to the east and the Mertondale Shear Zone to the west, an area dominated by Archean granites. These granites are predominately surrounded by greenstone belts of the Kurnalpi Terrane, which have been subjected to a varying degree of metamorphism; predominantly greenschistamphibolite (Stewart, 2001).
5.4. Local Geology
5.4.1. Goongarrie Project (E29/1103)
According to mapping by GSWA, the tenement is covered by Cainozoic sediments of colluvium, sand plains and salt lakes, including the northern part of Lake Goongarrie in the south of the tenement. Occasional outcrops of Archean biotite monzogranite occur throughout the tenement with small exposures of thin ultramafic units in the southwest part of the tenement. GSWA defines the area as Yilgarn Craton granite and Big Tank monzogranite in the eastern part of the tenement and granitic gneiss in the west. Occasional occurrences of northwest trending ultramafic schists, amphibolite and metabasalt units from the Highway Formation and Kalgoorlie Group, part of the Broad Arrow Supergroup, occur (Figure 45).
A significant northwest trending shear zone is mapped along the western part of the tenement. This is interpreted as the position of the MSZ. The Archean Big Tank Monzogranite runs north-northwest through the central part of the tenement. Numerous west-northwest structures cut the tenement.

5.4.2. Breakaway Well (E29/1118)
Breakaway Well is the most southern of the Leonora Project tenements. Outcropping bedrock is limited in E29/1118, with few small outcrops of granite and granodiorite scattered in the north and south-eastern part of the tenement. The remainder of the area is covered by clay rich alluvial plains and sandplains.

GSWA 100k bedrock mapping indicates that the tenement comprises schistose metagranite in the west, monzogranite in the centre and north, and meta monzogranite (foliated and gneissic) in the east. An eastwest Proterozoic dolerite dyke runs through the northern part of the tenement (Figure 46). The tenement is cross-cut by numerous faults, predominately trending north-south and northwest-southeast.

5.4.3. Dynamite Bore (E29/1119)
Dynamite Bore has significant outcrop, with approximately one third of the area covered by granite, with minor granodiorite, monzogranite and migmatite scattered throughout. The remainder of the tenement is covered by Cainozoic sediments, with sandplains covering much of the central and southern parts of the tenement between the granite exposures.
GSWA bedrock mapping interprets the area as predominantly Yilgarn Archean monzogranite, with small areas of granitic gneiss (migmatitic) and granodiorite scattered through the western part of the tenement. The majority of the eastern portion is occupied by locally gneissic monzogranite-tonalite. An east-west Proterozoic dolerite dyke runs through the most southern part of the tenement (Figure 46).
Structurally, the tenement features a well-defined structure in the west. This has been interpreted as the continuation of the MSZ based on the 100k mapping (Drabble, 2021c), however this is unproven, as the magnetic imagery is inconclusive. The structure runs in a north-northwest direction through the tenement and is parallel to a similar trending fault to the southwest.
5.4.4. Woolshed Project (E37/1416)
Woolshed, located just north of Nambi Station, is the most northerly of the Leonora Project tenements. The tenement is characterised by extensive outcrop, which covers approximately half the area. GSWA 100K surface geology mapping defines the exposed granites as fine-grained biotite monzogranite, with a small north-south trending metagabbro dyke within the granite in the northeast of the tenement and a small area of diorite in the central western part of the tenement. No detailed bedrock mapping is publicly available for this project area.
Structurally, the tenement sits to the west of the major regional Ninnis Fault and east of the Mertondale Shear Zone. Linking these north-northwest trending regional structures is a north-northeast trending shear zone, which cuts the outcropping late Archean monzogranite in the north of the tenement.
5.4.5. Stone Well Project (E37/1438)
GSWA mapping interprets the Stone Well tenement as predominately Archean granite bedrock, with small overlaps onto greenstone belts in the north and south of the tenement. Outcrops cover approximately one third of the area and are largely limited to monzogranite, which comprises much of the central part of the tenement. One small area of gneissic granite is also exposed. The remainder of the tenement is covered by Cainozoic sand and clay plains. The tenement is positioned between the Mertondale Shear Zone and the Ninnis Fault. Detailed structural and geological mapping is not publicly available for this tenement area.

5.4.6. Monument (E39/2222)
E39/2222 is wholly positioned on Yilgarn Archean granites, as defined by the GSWA 500K bedrock mapping. The tenement sits to the west of the Ninnis and Claypan Faults, which terminate to the east of the tenement. Monzogranite outcrops over the tenement. A significant outcrop is that of Monument Hill in the east of the tenement, which peaks at 542m above sea level just beyond the tenement boundary. The remainder of the tenement comprises sand and clay plains as well as gravels derived from the granites. Detailed geological and structural mapping is not available for the tenement.
5.5. Previous Exploration
5.5.1. Goongarie Project (E29/1103)
E29/1103 has been subject to the most historic exploration within the Leonora Project. Several areas within the tenement have significant soil sampling coverage, with two historic bodies of work representing the bulk of these (Figure 47). Soil sampling by Normandy Exploration in the mid-1990s, whilst exploring for gold, focused on the northern area and established a number of low-moderate soil anomalies (maximum of 21 ppb). Normandy RAB tested the anomalies, with all drilling ending in granite. The soil anomalies were therefore attributed to transported material (Normandy, 1996).
Siburan Resources completed soil sampling over the tenement area during the early-2010s while exploring for uranium (Siburan, 2012). Despite the focus on uranium, gold and base metal assays were completed. The southern area of the tenement returned several low-moderate Au sample assays scattered throughout, with the highest value of 37 ppb. As Siberian was focussed on uranium, the gold anomalies were not further explored.
Scotia Nickel completed a 28-hole aircore drill program exploring for nickel in the south of the tenement during 2005. Drilling targeted amphibolite and meta-basalts within granitic gneiss. Four holes returned assay values greater than 0.3 g/t Au, including LSGA0040, which ended at 94 m and returned a 1.65 g/t Au (Figure 47). The sample was logged as a medium grained massive intermediate rock with chlorite alteration and approximately 70% clean quartz veining (Scotia, 2005). As gold was not the focus of the exploration, the anomaly was not tested further.

5.5.2. Breakaway Well Project (E29/1118)
Two historic diamond prospects are reported from within E29/1118. These relate to kimberlite exploration completed in the mid to late 1990s (Stockdale Prospecting, 1998). The prospects, namely Melita02 and Melita03, were defined from stream sediment sampling and heli-mag geophysics and were subject to initial drill testing. Melita02 was interpreted as a small blow on a north-west trending hypabyssal facies kimberlite dyke, approximately 0.25 ha in size. Melita03 lies just to the north of Melita02 and is interpreted as a thin hypabyssal kimberlite north-west trending dyke.

5.5.3. Dynamite Bore (E29/1119)
A program of RAB drilling was completed at Dynamite Bore by Resource Link during 1998 which involved a program of RAB drilling in the central eastern region of the tenement, east of the MSZ. No significant results were returned from assays. The tenement has a number of mapped structures which may be prospective and worthy of a grassroots exploration campaign.
5.5.4. Woolshed (E37/1416)
Significant historical work on Woolshed is restricted to a RAB program completed by Voyager Gold in the mid-1990s (Voyager, 1997). Six holes (of the 17-hole program) were located within the tenement. None of the on-tenement holes returned significant results. Anomalous gold values were detected off tenure, and
82
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
further hydrogeochemical analysis indicated that the ultimate source of the gold was not the greenstone belts.
There is one historic soil sample within the tenement, which is part of a larger program completed by Meteoric Resources in 2009. Meteoric’s (2009) program targeted magnetic anomalies (Figure 49). The sample was not anomalous; however, a single sample is generally not considered reliable for adequately testing an anomaly.

5.5.5. Stone Well Project (E37/1438)
Significant historic exploration on E37/1438 has been limited to a small RAB program, stream sediment sampling and soil sampling programs. The RAB drilling was completed by Newmont as part of a regional gold exploration program in 2005. The four holes completed within the tenement area did not return any significant results and thus the tenement was surrendered (Newmont, 2005).
84
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Stream sediment sampling was completed in the early 1990s by Dominion Mining in the north of the tenement, with a focus on the nearby greenstone belt (Dominion, 1991). The program returned results with a maximum of 5 ppb Au on the tenement. Results from the tenement to the northeast peaked at 478 ppb. No follow-up is reported.
Pacrim Energy completed soil and rock chip sampling during 2007 whilst exploring for Au and Ni (Dominion, 1991). No significant results were returned.
5.5.6. Monument (E39/2222)
Historic exploration is very limited within E39/2222, with only a single rock chip sample collected as part of Pacrim’s 2007 program. The sample assays returned low levels of Au and Ni. A solitary RAB hole was completed in the late-1990s as part of a larger program in the area by GME Resources (1998). No significant results were returned.
5.6. Exploration Potential
Traditionally, gold exploration has been focussed on rocks of the greenstone belts. The Leonora tenements have therefore not seen any significant gold exploration. Recent discoveries in the Yilgarn Craton have highlighted the potential of Archaean granites to be prospective for economic deposits of gold. New geological models for late Archean granite-controlled shear zone/fault hosted mineralisation theorise that gold forming fluids, formed at deep crustal levels do not discriminate between lithologies when emplaced in the upper crust, thus opening geological domains for exploration that were not previously thought to be prospective.
Forrestania have applied the Archean granite-controlled shear zone/fault hosted exploration model at Leonora to define number of gold targets (Figure 50).
-
Soil anomalies attributed to transported material at Goongarrie (E29/1103) could be from the underling granites and thus not adequately tested (target Au-1).
-
Siburan Resources’ several low-moderate Au assays (highest value of 37 ppb) scattered throughout the Goongarrie tenement remain untested (target Au-2).
-
Scotia Nickel’s untested anomaly at LSGA0040, which ended at 94 m and returned a 1.65 g/t Au at Goongarrie warrants further exploration (target Au-3).
-
Historical soil sampling has also highlighted elevated background levels of Cu (1000-2250 ppm) in parts of the Goongarrie tenement area. Forrestania should investigate these anomalous values by means of complimentary Cu sampling whist exploring for gold (target Cu-1).
-
At Breakaway Well (E29/1118), the fault that bounds the Menzies greenstone belt continues into the project area. The greenstone belt terminates before E29/1118 but the fault continues in a more eastly
85

PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
direction into the granites before terminating at and creating a junction with a north-south trending fault that runs along the contact between two granites. The extension of the Twin Hills North fault and the junction is target Au-4. Dynamite Bore (E29/1119) warrants further grassroots exploration with a focus on structural intersections (target Au-5).
- At Woolshed (E37/1416), the tenement sits to the west of the major regional Ninnis Fault and east of the Mertondale Shear Zone. Linking these north-northwest trending regional structures is a northnortheast trending shear zone, which cuts the outcropping late Archean monzogranite in the north of the tenement. This structure presents an exploration target due to its proximity to a mineralised shear zone adjoining late Archean granitic rocks (target Au-6).

Beyond the targets defined above, further exploration is recommended over these tenements once granted. As many of the tenements have seasonal drainage channel, a systematic campaign of stream sediment sampling could define areas of potential. The under-explored tenements would benefit from geological and structural mapping and systematic soil sampling. Geochemical results from soil sampling would allow mobile metal ion mapping to be completed, which may highlight further targets.

Advance projects using best practise exploration techniques.
-
Continual verification and critical re-assessment of geology and historic exploration data
-
Generation of detailed target areas for follow-up exploration
-
Identify opportunities for strategic partnerships with mid-tier/major mining companies.
-
Have clear project decision points.
-
Realise value of projects by exploration discovery, joint venture farm-out and/or partial/full sale.
6.2. Project Objectives
-
Determine the gold potential at the Forrestania and Southern Cross Project.
-
Determine lithium and gold potential at the Leonora Project

7. Risks and Opportunities
The data included in this Report and the basis of the interpretations herein have been derived from a compilation of data included in annual technical reports sourced from the Western Australian Mineral Exploration reports (WAMEX reports) compiled by way of historical tenement database searches. There are two potential sources of uncertainty associated with this type of compilation. The first is that significant material information may not have been identified in the data compilation, while the second potential risk is associated with the timely release of the exploration reports. Under the current regulations associated with annual technical reporting, any report linked to a current tenement that is less than five years old remains confidential and the company can also make submissions to ensure the reports remain confidential for longer periods. Finally, the historical reports are not all digitally available. Therefore, obtaining the historical reports often requires extremely time-consuming and costly searches in the DMIRS library. There is also duplication and compilation errors associated with several of the publicly available data compilations; this is commonly associated with multiple reporting of the exploration activities by different tenement managers using different grid references for the exploration activities. As such, these data may not be available and may have material errors that could have a material impact on potential exploration decisions.
Often the historical exploration reports do not include or discuss the use of quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) procedures as part of the sampling programs, this data is frequently not reported. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the validity of much of the historical samples, even where original assays are reported. It is common for different grid systems to be reported in exploration reports including local grids. The inability to properly validate all the exploration data reported herein, which has an impact on the proposed exploration, increases the exploration risk. Previous mining can limit potential drill pad locations or limit the drill sites to less optimal locations, especially regarding drill hole data collected before the common use of GPS.
There are environmental, safety and regulatory risks associated with exploration within an area where there has been historical exploration, including potential rehabilitation liabilities.
Mineral exploration, by its very nature has significant risks, especially for early-stage projects. Based on the industry-wide exploration success rates it is possible that no additional significant economic mineralisation will be located within any of the projects. Even in the event significant mineralisation does exist within the projects, factors both in and out of the control of Forrestania may prevent the location or development of such mineralisation.
This may include, but is not limited to, factors such as community consultation and agreements, metallurgical, mining, and environmental considerations, availability and suitability of processing facilities or capital to build appropriate facilities, regulatory guidelines and restrictions, ability to develop infrastructure appropriately, and mine closure processes. In addition, variations in commodity prices, saleability of commodities and other
89
www.varm.com.au PO Box 1506, West Perth WA 6872
==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
factors outside the control of the Company may have either negative or positive impacts on the projects that may be defined.
There are five registered heritage sites over Forrestania’s Project areas. It is possible that additional surveys may identify further heritage sites. VRM notes that the identified sites have been registered and exploration has been undertaken subsequently. Ten of the tenements included in the Forrestania Project are subject to an Indigenous Land Use Agreement. Further details pertaining to the Indigenous Land Use Agreement is found in the Solicitor’s Report appended to the prospectus.
Finally, at the time of writing this Report the impact of COVID-19 is being felt globally with a second wave of infections causing renewed lock-down in many parts of the world, including hotspots in Australia. While to date the mining industry and resources sector has adapted quickly and largely continued business activities throughout this time, the potential risks for future exploration in the near future remains unclear. Changes to commodity prices and access to capital to fund exploration can be considered as both risks and opportunities. The Western Australia Government recently released a WA Recovery Plan document that highlighted unlocking future mining opportunities as a priority area, with government initiatives announced to build on geoscience knowledge as well as amendments to mining regulations to fast-track exploration opportunities.
During the July field visit the prospectivity of the Forrestania and Southern Cross Projects was highlighted and in addition several opportunities have been identified. These include the potential within the Forrestania Project to more fully explore areas of regolith covered granite using auger geochemistry.
At Crossroads several structural positions favourable for gold mineralisation are noted in a circular intrusion immediately to the east of the prospect. Surface geochemistry should be reviewed and if necessary complete auger sampling across the features before air core drilling.
Within the Southern Cross Project tenements package the coverage of granite areas by effective surface geochemical sampling to penetrate regolith could be expanded prior to AC drilling of existing gold anomalies. This is particularly evident at Panizza Rd, Athenian and Babylonian and a number of structural offsets potentially favourable for gold mineralisation are noted in aeromagnetic data at Panizza Rd.

9. Proposed Exploration Budget
The exploration strategy and targets are discussed in more detail in the various project sections. Table 6 summarises expenditure by activity and project. The costs are shown as an all-in inclusive cost that includes the cost of drilling, sampling, assaying, personnel, and all other on-costs. All costs are expressed in Australian dollars (A$).

Note:
- Activities on tenement applications budgeted in year two is subject to relevant approvals being received
** Drilling in year two is dependent on positive results from year one activities
In VRM’s opinion the proposed exploration budget and work programs are valid, consistent with the exploration potential within Forrestania’ projects and broadly in line with the current exploration costs in Western Australia. The exploration budget as presented includes exploration drilling at all projects; however, the exact number and depth of these drill holes is not sufficiently advanced to document in this Report. The proposed exploration budget is sufficient to meet the statutory minimum exploration expenditure on the granted tenements, which is $479,910.

Code of Ethics means the Code of Ethics of the relevant Professional Organisation or Recognised Professional Organisations.
Corporations Act means the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Experts are persons defined in the Corporations Act whose profession or reputation gives authority to a statement made by him or her in relation to a matter. A Practitioner may be an Expert. Also see Clause 2.1.
Exploration Results is defined in the current version of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code). Refer to http://www.jorc.org for further information.
Feasibility Study means a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a Pre-feasibility Study.
Financial Reporting Standards means Australian statements of generally accepted accounting practice in the relevant jurisdiction in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act.
Independent Expert’s Report means a Public Report as may be required by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules of the ASX or other security exchanges prepared by a Practitioner who is acknowledged as being independent of the Commissioning Entity. Also see ASIC Regulatory Guides RG 111 and RG 112 as well as Clause 5.5 of the VALMIN Code for guidance on Independent Expert Reports.
Information Memoranda means documents used in financing of projects detailing the project and financing arrangements.
Investment Value means the benefit of an asset to the owner or prospective owner for individual investment or operational objectives.
Life-of-Mine Plan means a design and costing study of an existing or proposed mining operation where all Modifying Factors have been considered in sufficient detail to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified. Such a study should be inclusive of all development and mining activities proposed through to the effective closure of the existing or proposed mining operation.
Market Value means the estimated amount of money (or the cash equivalent of some other consideration) for which the Mineral Asset should exchange on the date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after appropriate marketing wherein the parties each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Also see Clause 8.1 for guidance on Market Value.

==> picture [111 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Materiality or being Material requires that a Public Report contains all the relevant information that investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require, and reasonably expect to find in the report, for the purpose of making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the Technical Assessment or Mineral Asset Valuation being reported. Where relevant information is not supplied, an explanation must be provided to justify its exclusion. Also see Clause 3.2 for guidance on what is Material.
Member means a person who has been accepted and entitled to the post-nominals associated with the AIG or the AusIMM or both. Alternatively, it may be a person who is a member of a Recognised Professional Organisation included in a list promulgated from time to time.
Mineable means those parts of the mineralised body, both economic and uneconomic, that are extracted or to be extracted during the normal course of mining.
Mineral Asset means all property including (but not limited to) tangible property, intellectual property, mining and exploration Tenure and other rights held or acquired in connection with the exploration, development of and production from those Tenures. This may include the plant, equipment, and infrastructure owned or acquired for the development, extraction, and processing of Minerals in connection with that Tenure.
Most Mineral Assets can be classified as either:
(a) Early-stage Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where mineralisation may or may not have been identified, but where Mineral Resources have not been identified.
(b) Advanced Exploration Projects – Tenure holdings where considerable exploration has been undertaken and specific targets identified that warrant further detailed evaluation, usually by drill testing, trenching or some other form of detailed geological sampling. A Mineral Resource estimate may or may not have been made, but sufficient work will have been undertaken on at least one prospect to provide both a good understanding of the type of mineralisation present and encouragement that further work will elevate one or more of the prospects to the Mineral Resources category.
(c) Pre-Development Projects – Tenure holdings where Mineral Resources have been identified and their extent estimated (possibly incompletely), but where a decision to proceed with development has not been made. Properties at the early assessment stage, properties for which a decision has been made not to proceed with development, properties on care and maintenance and properties held on retention titles are included in this category if Mineral Resources have been identified, even if no further work is being undertaken.
(d) Development Projects – Tenure holdings for which a decision has been made to proceed with construction or production or both, but which are not yet commissioned or operating at design levels. Economic viability of Development Projects will be proven by at least a Pre-Feasibility Study.
(e) Production Projects – Tenure holdings – particularly mines, wellfields, and processing plants – that have been commissioned and are in production.

Preliminary Feasibility Study (Pre-Feasibility Study) means a comprehensive study of a range of options for the technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a preferred mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, is established and an effective method of mineral processing is determined. It includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions on the Modifying Factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors that are sufficient for a Competent Person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resources may be converted to an Ore Reserve at the time of reporting. A PreFeasibility Study is at a lower confidence level than a Feasibility Study.
Professional Organisation means a self-regulating body, such as one of engineers or geoscientists or of both, that:
(a) admits members primarily on the basis of their academic qualifications and professional experience.
(b) requires compliance with professional standards of expertise and behaviour according to a Code of Ethics established by the organisation; and

Scoping Study means an order of magnitude technical and economic study of the potential viability of Mineral Resources. It includes appropriate assessments of realistically assumed Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that progress to a Pre-Feasibility Study can be reasonably justified.
Specialist are persons whose profession, reputation, or relevant industry experience in a technical discipline (such as geology, mine engineering or metallurgy) provides them with the authority to assess or value Mineral Assets.
Status in relation to Tenure means an assessment of the security of title to the Tenure.
Technical Assessment is an evaluation prepared by a Specialist of the technical aspects of a Mineral Asset.

Forrestania Project - JORC Table 1
Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
The samples for historic drilling were taken by RC face hammer drill and RAB drilling. All RC drill samples for assaying were generated via an RC hammer (diameter unknown), but for early holes it is not known whether this was a face-sampling or conventional hammer. The majority of RC holes were sampled as one-metre composites. There is limited information provided in the reporting of historic results on the quality of the sampling processes. Measures taken to ensure sample representativity are unknown, e.g., no comments were The determination of mineralisation was done via standard methods, including drilling, followed by splitting, crushing and fire assaying. |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g., core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit, or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by _what method, etc). _ |
All historic drilling referred to in this Report was carried out using reverse circulation, and rotary air blast drilling methods. |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Recoveries from the drilling are not known Sample recovery is not recorded in the geological logging table within the database. With only 393 of the approximately 19,000 geological intervals assigned a value, it is not considered representative It is not clear whether a relationship between recovery and grade occurs as information is not available |
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Core and chips were logged, but it is not clear whether this has occurred to a level of detail to support the Mineral Resource estimation. Logging was qualitative in nature. Australian Resource Consultants Pty Ltd reviewed previous historical databases and available historical reports to develop the “haze_validated” database. As part of this process, they completed a unified geological code system. This data, together with the logging provided in the“haze” database was used to define the various weathering surfaces and extent of alluvial cover. |

• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality, and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
It is assumed that diamond drill core was cut down its longitudinal axis with half the core selected for assay in line with geological boundaries and the remaining retained in the core tray. Review of the database indicates that the maximum selected sample length was constrained to one metre. Details of the splitter and drill rig configuration for RC drilling were not provided. The quality and the appropriateness of the sample preparation technique cannot be determined for the historic drilling. It is assumed that sampling practices employed during the respective drill programs followed standard industry practice in effect at the time. That the majority of the drilling forming this resource estimate is in excess of 15 years old, and that no detailed QA information and QC data can be presented raises some concerns about the reliability of the data. This hasbeen taken into account in the assignment of the resource confidence. No studies have been undertaken to determine whether the sample size was appropriate for the grain size of the material sampled. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g., standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e., lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Assays presented in the drill database consist of a range of aqua regia, fire assay and leach well analysis. The analytical laboratory is listed by drill hole in the collar table for 667 drill holes, with the remainder unknown. Determination of the analytical procedures employed was not completed The quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used could not be determined. Information on quality control procedures was not available. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No comments are available in any reports on the verification of significant intersections No twin holes have been drilled Procedures on data entry were not available. Assay data were not adjusted |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
All recent and historical drillhole collar positions that could be located were surveyed during a campaign undertaken in December 1998. Other holes were left with their previously surveyed or nominally designed coordinates. The default RL of these holes were altered from 1000 mRL to 415 mRL in the database, to reflect an average of the heights encountered across the broadly flat prospect area. During September 2000, the whole Blue Haze prospect area was tied by survey to mine grid and all existing RC and diamond drillhole collars were tied to this grid. Most holes drilled prior to 1996 were not downhole surveyed. Normandy and Forrestania Gold NL holes were never previously downhole surveyed. The drill hole coordinate system used relates to the Lady Ada (Blue Haze) local grid. A two-point conversion was used to convert back to GDA94 Z50 grid. No topographic surfaces were provided for use in the resource estimation process. In order to generate a surface with which to constrain the resource,the drill collar locations were exported from |

| Surpac and used to generate a topographic surface. While this surface is unlikely to be accurate over small scales, due to the wide spaced nature of the drilling, it forms an acceptable approximation of the ground surface for use in the block model. Clearly this approach however assumes that the drill collar information is correct, which has been demonstrated in some instances to be uncertain. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Most drilling at Lady Lila is on 20 x 20m The data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource estimation procedure and classifications applied. Sample compositing has been applied; however, any anomalous intercepts were resampled as |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
The orientation of sampling has mostly achieved unbiased sampling of structures The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is not considered to have introduced a sampling bias. |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
Forrestania Resources entered into an option agreement 01/04/21 with West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd over P77/4325 and P77/4326 and manages the tenure. The first option payment of $30,000 has been fulfilled and an additional consideration of $60,000 cash and shares worth $350,000 will be made on listing. A 1% royalty capped at $1m is also in place for the tenements. Regarding the expiry of P77/4325 and P77/432 An extension of term for the above tenements was lodged 19/07/21. The tenure remains live while anyextension of term is beingdetermined. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
All exploration was carried out by previous owners of the tenements (Aztec Mining, Forerestania Gold NL, Viceroy Australia, Sons of Gwalia) |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
The deposit is an Archean shear-zone hosted gold deposit. Geological interpretation indicates that the general stratigraphy consists of metasediments, BIFs, and cherts to the east of the tenement, overlying an older sequence of metamorphosed komatiitic and high-magnesian basalts to the west. Black shales/pelites occur as small interbedded units throughout the stratigraphy, which dips gently to the east (10-35°) and strikes N-S, bending in an NNW direction in the far north of the tenement. An Archean-agedquartz dolerite unit(informallythe ‘Wattle Rocks |

| Dolerite’) is emplaced along a contact between high-MgO basalt to the west and low-MgO ultramafic to the east, in the western part of the tenement and is the host rock for the Lady Ada (and Lady Magdalene) mineralisation. Strongly magnetic Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the stratigraphy in an east-west direction, splaying to the ENE, following fault directions interpreted from the aeromagnetics. A number of narrow shear zones lie subparallel to the shallow-dipping metasediment-mafic contact within the host stratigraphy and are important sites and conduits for the observed mineralisation. The Sapphire shear zone strikes approximately ENE, dipping to the SE at about 25°, and appears to crosscut all lithologies. This shear zone and associated shears host the bulk of the gold mineralisation at Wattle Rocks. Similar flat-dipping shears are known to crosscut the Lady Magdalene area. Approximately 8-12 metres of transported sands and a gold depleted weathering profile of saprolitic clays overly the Lady Ada, Lady Magdalene, and Lady Lila mineralisation. Structurally, the Wattle Rocks area is quite complex and is positioned near the intersection of several major breakages and flexures in the regional stratigraphy in this part of the Forrestania Greenstone belt. Numerous shear zones are evident throughout the area, particularly at changes of rock stratigraphy where there are rheological differences. Narrow, stacked, flat-dipping shear zones are evident within the quartz dolerite unit and may have resulted from thrusting of the younger sedimentary sequence over the mafic package from east to west. A similar model is predicted for Van Uden (10 km northwards) where mineralised quartz veins appear to ‘stack’ through a host ferruginous metasediment. |

| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
This information is provided in Appendix X. |
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
High grades were not cut in the reporting of weighted averages in this Report. Summary drill hole results as reported in figures and in the Appendix X to this Report are reported on a 2m internal dilution and 0.5 g/t Au cut-off. |

| Relationship between mineralisa- tion widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
In almost all cases, the drill holes are perpendicular to the mineralisation. The true width is not expected to deviate much from intersection width. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate images have been provided in the Report. |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Figures represent specific selected drill intervals to demonstrate the general trend of high-grade trends. Cross sections show all relevant result in a balanced way. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Prior to commencing mining of the Lady Ada deposit, Ammtec Ltd to complete a metallurgical test work programme of the mineralisation. This test work involved testing of four composite samples representing oxide, fresh, and two separate transitional composites. The drill database did not detail any density measurements completed throughout the drilling programs. Density values assigned to the mineral resource were taken from historical values assigned to previously reported resources. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g., tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Additional work is planned as outlined in the body of the report |

| Database integrity |
• Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes. • Data validation procedures used. |
Drill hole database was reviewed against published hard copy reports and available drilling sections in order to confirm consistency between reported assays. All drill holes within the database were plotted into the Surpac mine design software and reviewed in three-dimensional space. The access database created containing the sample data was imported into Surpac and plotted. This process performs an internal check of the data and lists any areas where there are overlapping samples, inconsistent sample intervals, or negative intervals. This process did not identify any issues which may have a material effect on the result. Assays were plotted and reviewed on each hole together with the lithology logged for each interval. A selection of assay results reported in the database used for estimation were reviewed against the original hard copy reported results for the laboratory. In some instances, minor discrepancies were observed which were thought to be related to the averaging of repeat and secondary analysis. The magnitude of these discrepancies was not considered to be |

||
| Site visits | • Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits. • If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case. |
The Competent Person has not completed any site visits to the project area. Given the historic nature of the project and lack of outcrop it was considered that a site visit would not materially change the treatment of the project. |
| Geological interpretation |
• Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. • Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. • The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation. • The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. • The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology. |
While the drilling completed as a basis of the reported mineral resources is generally wide spaced, with the exception of Lady Ada, the geological interpretation is considered to provide sufficient confidence in line with the Mineral Resource classification assigned. No assumptions have been made. The interpretation in the Lady Iila prospect has been developed with consideration of the local and regional geological and structural setting as currently understood. Based on the limited amount of diamond drilling across these prospects it is possible that alternative orientations may exist. Alternate orientations are currently not able to be supported by available information. The local and regional geological and structural setting was incorporated into the Mineral Resource estimate. Interpreted mineralisation present in the alluvial cover was subsequently removed to reflect the primary nature of the mineralisation. It is likely that structural features such as faults and shears exist which provide a secondary control on mineralisation. The lack of diamond drilling and detailed structural assessment may result in these features not being identified, which may result in restrictions or extensions to the observed mineralisation. |
| Dimensions | • The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. |
Lady Lila - A total of 3 individual lenses reflecting gold mineralisation above a nominal cut-off of 0.5g/t Au were generated. These lenses dip between 75-85 degrees to the east and strike approximately north south, forming a discontinuous line of mineralisation. Lenses vary in width from two to five metres, with strike lengths varying between 50-400 metres. Mineralisation extends to depths between 50 and 80 metres below surface. |
| Estimation and modelling techniques |
• The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters used. • The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data. • The assumptions made regarding recovery of by- products. • Estimation of deleterious elements or other non- grade variables of economic significance (e.g., sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation). • In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed. • Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. |
Drill hole sample data was flagged within the database with the corresponding mineralisation lens appropriate to each prospect. Sample data was composited to 1m intervals within each of the flagged domains and investigated for the application of topcuts. Variography was completed using the composite data for each domain where possible. Those domains for which an acceptable variogram model was not achievable were assigned the variogram model of a geologically similar domain. Where no domains within a prospect were able to be developed, a nominal search ellipse was created to reflect the lens orientation and ID2 estimation completed. Grade was estimated into each of the mineralisation objects, each flagged as a unique domain within the block model to allow appropriate constraint of the composite data and estimation. No assumptions have been made regarding the recovery of by- products. Estimates of potentially deleterious elements have not been completed, primarily as a result of inconsistent sample suites. Parent block sizes were generally assigned with consideration of the average drill spacing, and application of kriging neighbourhood analysis (KNA). Sub-blocking was employed to varying levels to allow |

accurate resolution of the mineralisation solids within the block model. Grades were estimated into parent blocks only, with sub- blocks being assigned the value of their corresponding parent. Discretisation was set to 3X x 3Y x 3Z for all domains and elements. Search distances for estimation were set at approximately 75% of the maximum continuity of the variogram model. Selection of the minimum and maximum samples was defined via completion of KNA. Selection of the block size was based on available drilling data and is therefore significantly larger than any anticipated SMU. The geological interpretation was used to guide the generation of mineralisation domains. Domains are used as hard boundaries to constrain sample data and blocks for estimation. The selection of the top-cut was done using both the Sichel mean and the disintegration point. Given that the data was observed to be approximately log-normal the un-cut Sichel mean was calculated for each dataset with the data then progressively cut further and further until the cut geometric mean (the anti-log of the mean of the log data) approximated the Sichel mean. This cut value was then reviewed against the relative disintegration point of the composites and a best-fit value applied. Validation of the block model involved graphical review of the assay data against the block grades. Overall, this showed that generally the block grades reflected the assay grades, although with a smoother distribution. A second validation step involved the generation of swath plots comparing average composite assays against the respective block grades by Northing, Easting and RL. This allows areas of significant deviations between composite and block grades to be investigated and modifications made to the estimate if required. Review of these plots showed that overall, the blocks estimated reflected the composites within that area. Instances where composite grades were significantly more than block grades were investigated and generally found to be associated with localised high-grade intercepts in areas with few composites. Also important was investigation of the respective tonnages being estimated, with good correlation between composites and blocks more important in those zones reflecting large tonnages i.e., the majority of the tonnes generate good correlations between composites and blocks. Review of the reported production from the Blue Haze pit against the reported resource within the pit showed a good correlation with the tonnes, while the reported grade was approximately 30% lower. This possibly reflects the presence of spotty gold within the mineralisation not able to be represented in the resource estimate. |

| Moisture | • Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content. |
All tonnages are estimated on a dry basis. |
| Cut-off parameters |
• The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. |
A nominal cut-off of 0.5g/t Au was applied to the interpretation. The reporting of Mineral Resources is done at 0.5g/t Au cut-off. |

• The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made |
Metallurgical testwork was completed on composites of the Blue Haze mineralisation prior to mining. It is expected that the observed metallurgical performance is applicable to the other prospects in the area. |
| Environmenta l factors or assumptions |
• Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made. |
The mining tenure is considered sufficient to allow the placement and management of any anticipated environmental requirements applicable to the operations. |
| Bulk density | • Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size, and representativeness of the samples. • The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit. • Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Assignment of bulk density values to the block model were assumed based on historically reported densities. Bulk densities are assigned based on weathering state and mineralisation. Bulk density determinations have not been completed and instead use assigned values. Drilling has not identified the presence of any voids nor significant differences between lithologies and alteration zones. Application of bulk density values was based on a series of surfaces representing transported, saprolite, saprock and top of fresh surfaces. |
| Classification | • The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories • Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (i.e., relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity, and distribution of the data). • Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit. |
Classification of the Mineral Resource considered the interpretation confidence, drilling density, demonstrated continuity, estimation statistics (conditional bias, kriging efficiency), estimation pass and block model validation results. While the input data has been observed to be inconsistent in some instances, these inconsistencies are not considered to materially affect the final reported resources; with the Mineral Resource classification applied reflecting this uncertainty. The validation of the block model showsgood correlation between input data and block |

| Audits or reviews |
• The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates. |
No audits or review have been completed for the Mineral Resource estimate. |
| Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence |
• Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate. • The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used. • These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available. |
The relative accuracy of the Mineral Resource estimate is reflected in the reporting of the Mineral Resource as per the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code. The statement relates to the global estimates of tonnes and grades. Review of the reported production from the Lady Ada pit against the reported resource within the pit showed a good correlation with the tonnes, while the reported grade was approximately 30% lower. This possibly reflects the presence of spotty gold within the mineralisation not able to be represented in the resource estimate |

|
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
