3 Resolution 1 – Approval to issue Shares to Wise Walkers Limited

3.1 Background

On 9 October 2025, the Company announced that it had successfully secured commitments from both new and existing domestic and offshore institutional and sophisticated investors to subscribe for approximately 751,919,699 new fully paid ordinary shares to raise gross of A$39.85 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

The Placement was led by the Company’s largest shareholder, Wise Walkers Limited, who subject to shareholder approval, subscribed for A$8.05 million of the placement (equating to 151,919,699 Placement Shares), confirming their support for the Company and its 100%-owned Drummond Basin gold assets in Queensland, which hosts Mineral Resources of ~1.84Moz. Significant support was also received from existing investors, alongside new institutional investors which has further strengthened and diversified the Company’s shareholder base.

Proceeds from the Placement, alongside existing cash reserves, are to be used to advance exploration and development activities at the Company’s Drummond Basin portfolio, business development activities and general working capital.

The Company previously issued a Notice of Annual General Meeting that stated the Shares to be issued to Wise Walkers would occur by no later than one month after the date of the Meeting. Since obtaining the Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares, Wise Walkers, which holds funds in China, informed the Company that it had been experiencing delays with obtaining approval from the relevant foreign exchange control authorities in China for the transfer of some of the funds to the Company's bank account.

On 19 December 2025, the Company announced that Wise Walkers subsequently paid A$3 million to the Company, with 56,603,776 Shares issued. Wise Walkers were expecting to receive the required Chinese regulatory approvals for the balance of their subscription amount of A$5.05 million. However, as at the date that was one month from the date Shareholder approval was received at the annual general meeting, Wise Walkers were yet to receive the Chinese regulatory approvals to enable the transfer of the remaining subscription amount and issue of 95,315,926 Shares. The Company has entered into a new binding commitment with Wise Walkers to subscribe for the balance of the remaining Shares, being 95,315,926 Shares at $0.053 each for a total of A$5.05 million.

Since the announcement on 19 December 2025, the Company has received the full balance of Wise Walkers’ subscription amount, being A$5.05 million to the Company’s bank account. The terms and conditions upon which Wise Walkers Limited, will subscribe for the Shares will be the same terms and conditions as other investors in the Placement.

Refer to the Company's ASX released on 9 October 2025 and 19 December 2025 for further details.

Resolution 1 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 95,315,926 Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) to raise gross proceeds of $5,051,744.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

3.2 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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six 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 exception to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains Shareholder approval.

The issue of Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 as Wise Walkers Limited are an entity who holds a substantial shareholding (10%+) in the Company and who have nominated a director (Mr. Liu Hang) to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right to do so, and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore, the issue of the Shares requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

  • 4 -

If Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolution 1 will be to allow the Company to issue the 95,315,926 Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 1 without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not issue the 95,315,926 Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)).

3.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the 95,315,926 Shares will be issued to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 1;

  • (b) Wise Walkers Limited falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3 as they are an entity who holds a substantial shareholding (10%+) in the Company and who have nominated a director (Mr. Liu Hang) to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right to do so;

  • (c) the maximum number of Shares the Company will issue to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) is 95,315,926;

  • (d) the Shares to be issued to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) the Company will issue the Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) no later than one month after the date of the Meeting;

  • (f) the Shares to be issued to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) will each be allotted at an issue price of $0.053 per Share, raising approximately $5,051,744;

  • (g) proceeds from the issue of the Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) will be used as detailed in Section 3.1;

  • (h) the Shares will be issued to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) pursuant to a short form subscription letter pursuant to which Wise Walkers Limited agreed to subscribe for the relevant Shares at an issue price of $0.053 per Share, subject to Shareholder approval. Apart from the subscription for Shares there are no other material terms under the subscription letter;

  • (i) the issue of the Shares to Wise Walkers Limited (and/or its nominee(s)) is not intended to incentivise and are not part of any remuneration for Mr. Liu Hang; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 1.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Liu Hang) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

4 Resolution 2 – Approval of Employee Equity Incentive Plan

4.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, to adopt the GBM Resources Limited Employee Equity Incentive Plan (Plan) and to enable Performance Rights, Options, and Shares upon exercise or conversion of those Performance Rights and Options to be issued under the Plan to eligible employees and contractors (Employee Incentives) to be exempted from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years from the date on which Resolution 2 is passed.

A summary of the Plan, to be adopted pursuant to Resolution 2, is set out in Schedule 2.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to offer the opportunity for eligible employees and contractors to subscribe for Employee Incentives, in order to increase the range of potential incentives available for eligible employees and contractors.

The Plan is intended to assist the Company to attract and retain key staff, whether employees or contractors. The Board believes that grants made to eligible participants under the Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company's employment and engagement strategy, and that the Plan will:

  • (a) enable the Company to incentivise and retain existing key management personnel and other eligible employees and contractors needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;

  • (b) enable the Company to recruit, incentivise and retain additional key management personnel, and other eligible employees and contractors, needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;

  • (c) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the long-term performance of the Company;

  • 5 -

  • (d) align the financial interest of participants of the Plan with those of Shareholders; and

  • (e) provide incentives to participants under the Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Employee Incentives issued under the Plan in the 3 years from the date on which Resolution 2 is passed will be excluded when calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Employee Incentives issued under the Plan will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to convert to equity (such as an option or performance right), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, operates as one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 is that any issues of securities under the Plan are treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 lasts for a period of three years.

4.3 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), the following information is provided:

(a) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2 and form part of the Notice;

(b) the Plan is being adopted for the first time and therefore no securities have been issued under the Plan since it was last approved;

  • (c) the maximum number of securities that can be issued under the Plan is 450,000,000 Employee Incentives, equivalent to 10% of the Company’s issued share capital; and

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 2 has been included in the Notice.

4.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
