1. BACKGROUND TO NOTICE
1.1 Asset Sale Agreement
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary PPG Yandal Pty Ltd (ACN 688 212 259) ( PPG Yandal ) have entered into an asset sale agreement with Strickland Metals Limited (ACN 109 361 195) ( Strickland ), Eskay Resources Pty Ltd (ACN 065 087 096) and Earaheedy Zinc Pty Ltd (ACN 662 926 356) (the Vendors ) ( Asset Sale Agreement ).
Under the Asset Sale Agreement, it was agreed that PPG Yandal would purchase, and the Vendors would sell, the Vendor’s interests in the tenements, contracts, samples and mining information (the Assets ) comprising the Yandal Gold Project ( Acquisition ). Further information with respect to the Yandal Gold Project is set out in Section 1.2.
The material terms and conditions of the Asset Sale Agreement are summarised below.
(a) Consideration
In consideration for PPG Yandal’s acquisition of the Assets, the Company has agreed, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in Section 1.1(b), to issue Strickland 1,500,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares.
The Convertible Preference Shares have limited voting rights which will automatically convert into Shares on a one for one basis following completion of the In-Specie Distribution (defined below). Refer to Schedule 1 for the full terms and conditions of the Convertible Preference Shares.
Strickland will then distribute 1,200,000,000 of these Convertible Preference Shares to holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Strickland ( Strickland Shares ) at the Record Date (as defined in the Timetable in Schedule 2) resident in Australia, New Zealand and any other jurisdictions determined by Strickland ( Eligible Strickland Shareholders ) via a pro rata in-specie distribution ( In-Specie Distribution ).
Further information with respect to the In-Specie Distribution is set out in Section 1.1(c).
(b) Conditions Precedent
Completion of the Acquisition ( Completion ) is subject to the following conditions precedent being either satisfied or waived by 24 September 2025:
(i) all relevant contracts, agreements and royalty deeds between the relevant Vendor and third parties are assigned to PPG Yandal, or in regard to the royalty agreements, the royalty holder giving consent to the relevant Vendor to assign its interest in the royalty agreement to the Company (or its nominee);
(ii) the Company receiving evidence to its reasonable satisfaction that all encumbrances over the Assets have been, or will be, released and discharged if the full registration relates to the Assets, and partially discharged if the registration does not solely relate to the Assets but captures the Assets as secured property;
6
6776-02/3721230_9
-
(iii) the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to issue the Convertible Preference Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 10.11 (being the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3 of this Notice);
-
(iv) Strickland obtaining shareholder approval for the purposes of sections 256B and 256C of the Corporations Act for the proposed InSpecie Distribution (which Strickland is seeking to obtain in midAugust 2025); and
-
(v) between the date of execution of the Asset Sale Agreement and Completion, no material adverse event that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company or the price of the Shares, that in turn, results in a materially adverse taxation consequence for Strickland or any Eligible Strickland Shareholder under the In-Specie Distribution, occurs in relation to the Company, as determined by Strickland.
-
(c) In-Specie Distribution
Strickland must undertake the In-Specie Distribution of 1,200,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares to Eligible Strickland Shareholders. Any Convertible Preference Shares that cannot be distributed under the In-Specie Distribution to Eligible Shareholders will not be distributed to holders of Strickland Shares that are not Eligible Strickland Shareholders ( Ineligible Strickland Shareholders ), but instead will be transferred to a sale agent to be sold under a sale facility with the net proceeds remitted to those Ineligible Strickland Shareholders as soon as practicable following the sale of those Convertible Preference Shares, free of any brokerage costs or stamp duty.
1.2 Yandal Gold Project
Background
The Yandal Gold Project covers 1,780 square kilometres of the prospective eastern flank of the Yandal Greenstone Belt in the northeastern Yilgarn, Western Australia. The Company believes that the entire eastern extent of the Yandal Greenstone Belt is relatively underexplored, with less than 6 kilometres of the total 75 kilometres Greenstone Belt having been covered by modern exploration techniques.

6776-02/3721230_9
The Yandal Gold Project, comprising 24 exploration licences and one mining lease application, contains an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 8.17Mt @ 1.52g/t Au for 400,400 oz Au.
Mining Licence Application
The Horse Well Gold Camp is a large-scale gold system consisting of a series of what are now believed to be a network of interconnected mineralised structures. The gold mineralised system has currently been defined over a strike length of 4 kilometres.
The Company believes that the system has strong potential to extend for at least the same distance under transported cover to the north where previous shallow drilling is deemed to be largely ineffective (see Figure 2 below).
==> picture [311 x 513] intentionally omitted <==

The Company intends to progress the Mining Licence application for the Horse Well Gold as a matter of priority. Upcoming work at the immediate Horse Well Gold Camp will include environmental and Native Title surveys.

6776-02/3721230_9
Receipt of a Mining Licence is a critical step for unlocking significant value within the Horse Well Gold Camp, and will pave the way for continued advancement of the Yandal Gold Project.

Dusk ‘til Dawn Resource
Strickland commissioned consulting group Trepanier to complete a Mineral Resource Estimate for gold mineralisation at Dusk ‘til Dawn (see Figures 4 and 5 below).
Based on the work completed, an Inferred Mineral Resource above a cut-off of 0.5 g/t Au is defined over a 400-metre strike and to a depth of 200 metres and includes:
-
(a) 3,495,600 tonnes at 1.0 g/t Au for 108,900 ounces; and
-
(b) a higher grade of 987,400 tonnes at 1.6 g/t for 51,800 ounces above a cut-off of 1.0g/t Au.

Further information
The information in this Notice that relates to exploration results and Mineral Resource Estimates has been previously reported by the Company in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ (JORC Code) on 2 July 2025 ( Previous Announcement ). The Previous Announcement is available to view on the Company’s website.
10
6776-02/3721230_9
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Previous Announcement with respect to the Yandal Gold Project. In the case of the Mineral Resource Estimates that are included in this Notice, the Company confirms that all of the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning these estimates in the Previous Announcement continue to apply, and have not materially changed.
1.3
Dilution
On completion of the Acquisition, the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,500,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares. 1,200,000,000 of these Convertible Preference Shares will be transferred to Eligible Strickland Shareholders (or the sale agent) under the In-Specie Distribution.
Following the completion of the In-Specie Distribution, the Convertible Preference Shares will automatically convert into Shares, resulting in:
-
(a) the Eligible Strickland Shareholders (or the sale agent) comprising approximately 62.9% of the Shares on issue; and
-
(b) Strickland holding approximately 15.7% of the Shares on issue.
Following the automatic conversion of the Convertible Preference Shares into Shares (which shall occur following the In-Specie Distribution), the Company’s capital structure will reflect the below table (assuming no other Securities are issued following the date of this Notice and prior to Completion).
| SHARES | |
|---|---|
| Current | 408,820,295 |
| Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Preference Shares | 1,500,000,000 |
| Total | 1,908,820,295 |
Assuming that no Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised follwing the date of this Notice and prior to the conversion of the Converitble Preference Shares, the effect of the issue of Securities under the Acquisition will have the effect of diluting existing Shareholders by approximately 78.6%.
1.4 Director participation in the In-Specie Distribution
Mr Franklin is a non-executive director of both the Company and Strickland.
Mr Peter Langworthy is the current executive chairman of the Company, and resigned as a non-executive director of Strickland on 14 March 2025.
Entities associated with Messrs Franklin and Langworthy hold the following number of Strickland Shares, and therefore, subject to Resolutions 2 and 3, stand to receive the following Convertible Preference Shares under the In-Specie Distribution (assuming Strickland does not issue any securities from the date of this Notice until the date of the In-Specie Distribution).

Following the completion of the In-Specie Distribution, each of the Convertible Preference Shares will automatically convert into Shares. The issue of Shares to the Interested Directors on conversion of their Convertible Preference Shares will be made in reliance on Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 7).
2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES TO STRICKLAND
2.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 1,500,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares in consideration for PPG Yandal’s acquisition of the Yandal Gold Project pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement.
The Convertible Preference Shares will be issued to Strickland, who in turn will transfer 1,200,000,000 of those Convertible Preference Shares to the Eligible Strickland Shareholders (or a sale agent) under the In-Specie Distribution.
On completion of the In-Specie Distribution, Strickland will hold the remaining 300,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares, which will automatically convert into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if the issue of securities is subject to prior shareholder approval, it does not count toward the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will have failed to have satisfied a condition precedent to Completion. If the Vendors do not waive this condition precedent, the Asset Sale Agreement may be terminated.
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities will be issued or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified/selected |

Following the In- Specie Distribution, Strickland will hold 300,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares, which will automatically convert into Shares. |

As is set out in Section 1.4, entities associated with the Interested Directors are Eligible Strickland Shareholders, and therefore will receive Convertible Preference Shares under the In-Specie Distribution. Listing Rule 10.11 approval is therefore sought to enable the entities associated with the Interested Directors to receive Convertible Preference Shares.
Following the completion of the In-Specie Distribution, each of the Convertible Preference Shares will automatically convert into Shares. The issue of Shares to the Interested Directors on conversion of their Convertible Preference Shares will be made in reliance on Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 7).
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Interested Directors (and their associated entities) are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
13
6776-02/3721230_9
The Directors (other than the Interested Directors, who have a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the entities associated with the Interested Directors will be participating in the In-Specie Distribution on the same terms as the other Eligible Strickland Shareholders, who are not related parties of the Company.
3.3 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 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 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 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,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The transfer of Convertible Preference Shares to the Interested Directors under the InSpecie Distribution therefore falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and 10.11.4, and these transfers do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. These issues therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Following the completion of the In-Specie Distribution, each of the Convertible Preference Shares will automatically convert into Shares. The issue of Shares to the Interested Directors on conversion of their Convertible Preference Shares will be made in reliance on Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 7).
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issues within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issues will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issues and will have failed to have satisfied a condition precedent to Completion. If the Vendors do not waive this condition precedent, the Asset Sale Agreement may be terminated.
