Notes:

  1. The cash reserves for Great Northern Palladium Pty Ltd as at 31 December 2020 have not been included on the basis that it is expected that the remaining cash reserves will have been spent by completion of the Acquisition on such matters as exploration expenditure commitments on the tenements and general operating costs.

  2. Refer to Section 6.11 of the Prospectus.

  3. Refer to the summary of the Panton Option set out in Section 5.2 of the Prospectus and the Solicitor’s Report on Tenements at Annexure B of the Prospectus.

  4. This includes the estimated duty payable for the Acquisition, the exercise of the Panton Option to acquire the remaining interest in Panton Sill Pty Ltd and the estimated duty payable included as a liability (trade and other payables) of Great Northern Palladium Pty Ltd as at 31 December 2020. These figures are estimates only as no assessment from the Office of State Revenue has been issued to date. In the event an alternative (higher) amount is assessed and payable, the Company will reallocate funds from working capital to pay the higher amount.

  5. Refer to the Independent Technical Report at Annexure A of the Prospectus for further information.

  6. It is currently intended that re-admission to trading on AIM for the enlarged entity will then be sought as soon as practicable (targeting July 2021) following successful completion of the Acquisition and Public Offer on the ASX in order to restore the enlarged entity’s dual listing at the earliest opportunity. Re-admission on AIM is not a condition of the Offers. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete the Acquisition or any alternative transaction and consequently be re-admitted to trading on AIM. Also, the Company may complete the Acquisition and be reinstated to official quotation on ASX but not subsequently be re-admitted to AIM.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. Investors should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the success of exploration programs, as well as regulatory developments and economic conditions. In light of this, the Company reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.

The Directors and Proposed Directors consider that, following completion of the Public Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its stated objectives and satisfy its working capital requirements for a period of at least two years following the date on which the Company’s Securities are reinstated to official quotation on ASX. Refer to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Prospectus and the Independent Technical Report at Annexure A of the Prospectus for further details on the Company’s proposed business exploration programs and strategies.
