Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to inform shareholders that a resolution on the remuneration report will be put at an annual general meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report adopted be put to a vote. Resolution 1 seeks this approval.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is an “advisory only” Resolution which does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Directors take the discussion at the meeting and the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration practices.

These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a Managing
9
Director (but if there is more than one Managing Director, only one is exempt from retirement).
In determining the number and identity of the Directors to retire by rotation, the Managing Director and any Director seeking election after appointment by the Board to fill a casual vacancy are not considered.

Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 – Approval of issue of Director Options
Background
Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 are ordinary resolutions which seek approval under sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act, and Listing Rule 10.11, for the Company to issue each of the following Directors (and/or its nominee(s)) up to:
-
four million (4,000,000) Director Options to Mr Brad Underwood (and/or his nominee(s));
-
one million (1,000,000) Director Options to Mr Noel O’Brien (and/or his nominee(s)); and
-
one million (1,000,000) Director Options to Mr Mathew Whyte (and/or his nominee(s)),
with an exercise price equal to the greater of 143% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares during the five (5) trading days up to and including the date of issue (“ 5-Day VWAP ”), or $0.30 (“ Exercise Price ”) per Director Option and expire at 5.00pm (AWST) on 9 October 2029 (“ Expiry Date ”). The Director Options will be issued to the Directors (and/or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Corporations Act Section 195
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of Directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances.
Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
Each of the current Directors may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 as they apply to each current Director respectively. If each does have such an interest, than a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 at Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and good corporate governance, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Director Options to the Directors (and/or their nominee(s)) constitutes giving of a financial benefit as they are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
11
As noted above, the Directors are related parties of the Company under section 228 of the Corporations Act. Resolutions 3, 4 & 5 therefore require Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act to allow the issue of the Director Options to the Directors (and/or their nominee(s)) to proceed.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Section 219 of the Corporations Act
Section 219 of the Corporations Act requires the following information be provided to Shareholders for approval to be granted under section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 3, 4 & 5:

Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders, issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
13
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the six (6) months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders.
The issue of the Director Options to the Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
Resolution 6 is a special resolution which seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Securities totaling up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company under and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A (“ 10% Placement Facility ”).
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities to issue equity securities without shareholder provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Approval of the 10% Placement Facility is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of:
-
12 months after the Annual General Meeting;
-
the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
the date shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(“ 10% Placement Period ”).
The number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A has the same meaning as in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity – i.e., the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17;
17
-
plus the number of fully paid Equity Securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
-
plus the number of fully paid Equity Securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
-
-
plus the number of any other Equity Securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly paid Equity Securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of fully paid Equity Securities cancelled in the relevant period;
-
D
-
is 10%; and
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Minimum price at which the securities may be issued
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.3, any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be issued for at least 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the above date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
18
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute Shareholders who do not participate in the issue. The table below shows the potential economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders as a result of the Company issuing Shares under the 10% Placement Facility, based on different issue prices and values for variable ‘A’ in the formula above.
| Issue price | |
|---|---|
| Variable ‘A’ (Shares on issue) |
$0.083 (50% decrease) $0.165 (Current)2 $0.248 (50% increase) |
| 197,624,927 **(Current)1 ** |
Shares issued 19,762,493 19,762,493 19,762,493 |
| Funds raised $1,630,406 $3,260,811 $4,891,217 |

| (100% increase) | Funds raised $3,260,811 $6,521,623 $9,782,434 |
Notes:
-
The current variable ‘A’ is assumed to be the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. The number of Shares on issue could increase as a result of, for example, an issue that does not require Shareholder approval (e.g. a pro rata offer to Shareholders) or an issue with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The current price of Shares is the closing price on the ASX on 18 September 2025.
-
The table assumes that no Options or other convertible securities are exercised or converted into Shares prior to an issue under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The table assumes that issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consist only of Shares.
-
The table does not show examples of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues under the 10% Placement Facility. Shareholders should consider the potential dilution caused in the context of their own circumstances.
-
The table only shows the effect of issues under Listing Rule 7.1A and not issues under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should further note that:
-
the market price for the Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Equity Securities on the date of issue.
19
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Date by which the securities may be issued
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.1, any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be issued during the 10% Placement Period. The 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Purposes for which the securities may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility may only be issued for cash consideration to raise funds. In such circumstances, the Company may apply the funds raised towards the exploration activities at its existing projects and/or for acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Allocation policy for issues of securities
The Company’s allocation policy for any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the relevant time, however, recipients will not be related parties of the Company. The identity of recipients of Equity Securities will otherwise be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the following factors (without limitation):
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company including rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issuing any Equity Securities.

2.
Expiry Date
Each Director Option will expire at 5.00pm (AWST) on 9 October 2029 (“ Expiry Date ”).
3.
Exercise Price
Each Director Option will have an exercise price equal to the greater of 143% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares during the five (5) trading days up to and including the date of issue (“ 5-Day VWAP ”), or $0.30 (“ Exercise Price ”).
4.
Vesting and exercise period
The Director Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date (“ Exercise Period ”).
5. Exercise Notice and payment
Director Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company (“ Exercise Notice ”) together with either:
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [13 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
-
payment of the Exercise Price for each Director Option being exercised; or
-
confirmation to utilise the Cashless Exercise Facility in respect of each Director Option being exercised, subject to section 6.
Any Exercise Notice for a Director Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Director Option as at the date of receipt. Payment in connection with the exercise of Director Options (as applicable) must be in Australian dollars and made payable to the Company in cleared funds.
6.
Cashless exercise
Provided that the Shares are quoted on the ASX at the time, the holder may, subject to this section 6, elect to set-off the Exercise Price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise (“ Cashless Exercise Facility ”) such that the Shares to be issued to a holder will be calculated as follows:
S = O x (MV – EP)
MV
Where:
-
S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Director Options;
-
O = Number of Director Options;
-
EP = Exercise Price; and
MV = Market value of the Shares, being equal to the 5-day VWAP up to the close of trade on the previous day to the exercise of the Options.
If the sum of Exercise Price and the 5-Day VWAP (the value attributed to ‘(MV-EP)’ in the formula above) results in zero or a figure less than zero, then a holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.
23
7. Minimum exercise
The minimum number of Director Options subject to an Exercise Notice is 500,000, unless a number fewer than 500,000 Director Options are held by the holder in which case the entirety of the holder’s Directors Options must be exercised.
8. Shares issued on exercise
Any Shares issued on exercise of Director Options will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares in the Company.
9. Quotation
The Company will not apply for quotation of the Director Options on the ASX.
Provided that the Company Shares are quoted on ASX at the time, application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of Shares issued upon the exercise of the Director Options.
10. Timing of issue of Shares
Subject to section 11 of this Schedule, within five (5) business days after the later of the following:
-
(a) receipt of an Exercise Notice given in accordance with these terms and conditions and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds for each Director Option being exercised by the Company if the Company is not in possession of excluded information (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act); and
-
(b) the date that the Company ceases to be in possession of excluded information with respect to the Company (if any) following the receipt of the Exercise Notice and payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds for each Director Option being exercised by the Company,
the Company will allot and issue the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Director Options and, to the extent that it is legally able to do so:
-
(c) give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act; and
-
(d) apply for official quotation on the ASX of the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Director Options.
If the Company is unable to lodge a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act then the Company may, in its absolute discretion, issue the Shares after the lodgement of a disclosure document issued by the Company complying with Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act in respect of an offer of Shares (“ Cleansing Prospectus ”) or, if agreed by the holder, issue the Shares after the holder signs an undertaking not to deal in the Shares until the earlier of the Company issuing a Cleansing Prospectus and twelve (12) months from issue, and agrees to a holding lock being placed on the Shares for this period.
11. Shareholder and regulatory approvals
Despite any other provision of these terms and conditions, exercise of Director Options into Shares will be subject to the Company obtaining all required (if any) Shareholder and regulatory approvals for the purpose of issuing the Shares to the holder. If exercise of the Director Options would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act then the exercise of each Director Option that would cause the
24
contravention will be deferred until such time or times that the exercise would not result in a contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. Holders must give notification to the Company in writing if they consider that the exercise of the Director Options may result in the contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, failing which the Company will be entitled to assume that the exercise of the Director Options will not result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.
12. Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Director Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Director Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least four business days after the issue is announced. This is intended to give the holders of Director Options the opportunity to exercise their Director Options prior to the announced record date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
13. Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Director Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the holder had exercised the Director Option before the record date for the bonus issue and there will be no change made to the Exercise Price.
14. Adjustment for rights issues
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders there will be no adjustment to the Exercise Price.
15. Adjustments for reorganisation
If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the holders may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.
16.
Transferability
Director Options can only be transferred with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion.
17. Lapsing of Director Options
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Schedule, and as determined by the Board (in its sole and absolute discretion), the holder’s Director Options will:
-
(a) in the event that the holder’s employment or consultancy arrangement (as applicable) with the Company is lawfully terminated, or such engagement ceases by reason of redundancy or retirement, lapse thirty (30) days after the date of lawful termination; or
-
(b) in the event of death or disability of the holder, such that the holder is unable to perform normal duties in the opinion of a medical practitioner nominated by the Board, lapse ninety (90) days after the date of death or disability.
25
SCHEDULE 2 – VALUATION OF DIRECTORS OPTIONS
The value of the Director Options being issued to the Directors is set out in the table below and is determined by the Black-Scholes valuation in accordance with the following assumptions and inputs on 18 September 2025 (as prepared by the Company). According to AASB 2 paragraph 19, “Vesting conditions, other than market conditions, shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date”. Options, such as the Director Options, without market-based vesting conditions can be exercised at any time following vesting up to expiry date, and as such are more suitably valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
| Director Options | Valuation |
|---|---|
| Number of Director Options to Mr Brad Underwood (and/or his nominee(s)) | 4,000,000 |
| Number of Director Options to Mr Noel O’Brien (and/or his nominee(s)) | 1,000,000 |
| Number of Director Options to Mr Mathew Whyte (and/or his nominee(s)) | 1,000,000 |
| Total number of Director Options to be issued to Directors | 6,000,000 |
| Underlying share price1 | $0.165 |
| Exercise price (estimated)2 | $0.30 |
| Expected volatility | 100% |
| Expiry Date (length of time from grant) | 3.97 years |
| Risk-free rate | 3.60% |
| Expected dividends | Nil |
| Value per Director Option | $0.10 |
| Value of Director Options issued to Mr Brad Underwood (and/or his nominee(s)) | $398,713 |
| Value of Director Options issued to Mr Noel O’Brien (and/or his nominee(s)) | $99,678 |
| Value of Director Options issued to Mr Mathew Whyte (and/or his nominee(s)) | $99,678 |
| Total value of Director Options proposed to be issued to Directors3 | $598,069 |
Notes:
-
Actual share price is the closing price on 18 September 2025 (i.e., the date of the valuation of the Director Options for this Notice of Meeting).
-
The actual exercise price will be equal to the greater of 143% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares during the five (5) trading days up to and including the date of issue (“ 5-Day VWAP ”), or $0.30 (“ Exercise Price ”).
-
Any change in the variables applied in the Black-Scholes model between the date of the valuation and the date that the Director Options are issued would have an impact on their value.
-
The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Director Options could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes.

If this information is incorrect, and you have an Issuer Sponsored holding, you can update your address through the investor portal: https://investor.automic.com.au/#/home Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
STEP 1 - APPOINT A PROXY
If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default. DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
