issue under the Entitlement Offer.

subscribe three (3) New Shares for every seven (7) Shares
held on the Record Date, at a price of $0.037 per New
Share.
The Entitlement Offer also includes a Top Up Facility (which
includes the Directors’ Subscription offer), which entitles
Eligible Shareholders who have applied for their full
Entitlement to apply for any number of Additional New
Shares, subject to scale back. The issue of Additional New
Shares (if any) under the Directors’ Subscription will be
subject to Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing

within the Entitlement Offer, which is being made under this
Prospectus conditional on Shareholder approval for the
purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Section 1.1

separate offer under the Prospectus (Shortfall Offer). The
Shortfall Offer will be on the same terms and conditions as
the Entitlement Offer, except as set out in this Prospectus.
The issue price for each New Share to be issued under the
Shortfall Offer will be the same issue price as under the
Entitlement Offer.
The Shortfall Offer is not open to the general public.
Investors will be invited by the Lead Manager to participate
and will be provided with a copy of this Prospectus and an
Application Form. Shortfall Shares may only be offered and
sold outside Australia to Institutional Investors in Permitted
Jurisdictions for the Shortfall Offer.

the Offers and
what is the
purpose of the
Offers?
Shares (before expenses of the Offers). The purpose of the
Offers is to raise funds for:
(a)
technical feasibility work at the Company’s Kanyika
Project,
(b)
metallurgical test work and pilot plant work at the
Kanyika Project;
(c)
mine and refinery preparation and planning costs at
the Kanyika Project;
(d)
director loan repayments; and
(e)
corporate, operating and marketing costs and costs
associated with the Offers.
As noted above, the funds raised under the Offers will be
used in part to undertake additional feasibility work at the
Kanyika Project, which is expected to be completed by the
first quarter of 2024 and may include updating the
Company’s existing Feasibility Study, subject to undertaking
additional feasibility work to verify the improvements and
efficiencies detailed in section 3. Depending on the outcome
of the feasibility work, the Company may decide to:
(a)
raise further funds in the first half 2024 (including
entering into potential offtake agreements) to proceed
with Phase One of the Kanyika Project;
(b)
conduct further feasibility work, following which the
Company may decide to proceed in accordance with
(a) above or not proceed with development at the
Kanyika Project; or
(c)
not proceed with development at the Kanyika Project.
Notwithstanding (a) to (c) above, the Company will require
additional funding (beyond the funds raised under the
Offers) by way of debt or equity to ultimately proceed with
development of the Kanyika Project and progressing the
Kanyika Project to first production.
The above proposed use of funds is subject to ongoing
review and evaluation by the Company. As with any budget,
the actual use of funds raised under the Offers may change
depending on the outcome of the activities as they proceed.
To the extent the full amount is not raised under the Offers,
the Company will scale back or delay work on some of the
projects detailed above. If the scope, time or cost
requirements of the feasibility work increases, then the
Company may need to raise further funds to complete the
feasibility work.
Who is eligible to
participate in the
Entitlement
Offer?
The Entitlement Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders only.
An Eligible Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer is a
Shareholder with a registered address in Australia, British
Virgin Islands, China (Institutional Investors only),
Guernsey, Hong Kong, Malawi, New Zealand and
Singapore and any other jurisdictions as agreed between
the Company and the Lead Manager who is eligible under

all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the
Entitlement Offer on the Record Date.
If you are not an Eligible Shareholder, you are an Ineligible
Shareholder and are not able to participate in the
Entitlement Offer.
How will Ineligible
Shareholders’
Entitlements be
dealt with under
the Entitlement
Offer?
The Company has determined that it is unreasonable in the
circumstances to make the Entitlement Offer under this
Prospectus to Shareholders with a registered address
outside of outside of Australia, British Virgin Islands, China,
Guernsey, Hong Kong, Malawi, New Zealand and
Singapore.
Depending upon the level of take up of Entitlements by
Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer, relevant
persons, including Apollo, may need to rely on item 10 of
section 611 of the Corporations Act to fall outside the
prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. As
Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in
the Entitlement Offer, the Company is required by section
615 of the Corporations Act to appoint a nominee to sell the
New Shares that might have otherwise been issued to
Ineligible Shareholders. The Company has appointed
Canaccord as its nominee for this purpose (Nominee). The
Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to
determine the timing and price at which the New Shares
may be sold and the manner of any such sale. The
Company has obtained ASIC approval for the appointment
of the Nominee, pursuant to section 615 of the Corporations
Act. Refer to section 2.4 for more information regarding
Canaccord’s appointment as Nominee.
Sections 1.17
and 2.4
What are the
alternatives for
Eligible
Shareholders
under the
Entitlement
Offer?
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, so you cannot
trade your Entitlements. As an Eligible Shareholder, you
may:
(a)
take up all of your Entitlements in full;
(b)
take up all of your Entitlements in full and apply for
Additional New Shares above your Entitlement under
the Top Up Facility;
(c)
take up part of your Entitlements, and allow the
balance of your Entitlements to lapse; or
(d)
allow all of your Entitlements to lapse.
Sections 1.5
and 1.10
Can Eligible
Shareholders
apply for New
Shares in excess
of their
Entitlement?
Yes. Under the Top Up Facility, Eligible Shareholders who
have applied for their full Entitlement may also apply for
Additional New Shares, subject to scale back. However,
there may be few or no Additional New Shares available for
issue depending upon the level of take up of Entitlements by
Eligible Shareholders.
The Directors’ Subscription is a separate offer within the
Entitlement Offer, which is being made under this
Prospectus conditional on Shareholder approval for the
purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Sections 1.1
and 1.10 to 1.12
(inclusive)

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 8

Question Response Where to find
more
information
Under the Directors’ Subscription:
(a)
Triple Talent will apply for Additional New Shares
pursuant to the Triple Commitment under the Top Up
Facility (refer to section 1.7 for further details on the
Triple Commitment); and
(b)
Directors and related parties who are Eligible
Shareholders may apply for Additional New Shares
under the Top Up Facility.
The Board will exercise its discretion to scale back
applications for Additional New Shares in accordance with
section 1.12.
As such, there is no guarantee that you will receive any or
all of the Additional New Shares you apply for.
Further, the Company will not allocate or issue New Shares
under the Top Up Facility where it is aware that to do so
would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing
Rules or any other relevant regulation or law. Eligible
Shareholders wishing to apply for Additional New Shares
under the Top Up Facility must consider whether the issue
of the Additional New Shares applied for would breach the
Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant
regulation or law having regard to their own circumstances.
Are the Offers
underwritten?
The Offers are not underwritten. However, the Lead
Manager will place any Shortfall to third parties on a best
endeavours basis, provided each investor does not receive
more than the lower of 2% of the issued capital of the
Company post-Offers or $500,000 (Ownership Limit),
without the Company’s approval. The ownership of the
Company is currently concentrated among relatively few
Shareholders with minimal trading liquidity. The rationale
behind the Ownership Limit is to increase the number of
potential new Shareholders on the Register that may be
introduced via the Shortfall Offer and increase the liquidity
of the Shares. The Ownership Limit only applies to the
Shortfall and does not apply to any applications by Apollo,
Ao-Zhong or Triple Talent.
The Company has entered into a Lead Manager Agreement
with the Lead Manager in respect of the Offers.
Sections 1.2
and 1.8
Is there a
minimum
subscription?
There is no minimum subscription amount. Section 1.4
Will any major
shareholders
participate in the
Offers?
Yes. The Company and the Lead Manager have obtained
irrevocable commitments from the Company’s major
shareholders to take up their full Entitlements in respect of
the Entitlement Offer as follows:
(a)
Apollo, for approximately $3.9 million; and
(b)
Triple Talent, for approximately $388,000.
The Company and the Lead Manager have also obtained an
irrevocable commitment from Triple Talent to apply for
Sections 1.7
and 2.5

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 9

Question Response Where to find
more
information
approximately $1.3 million in Additional New Shares (if
available) pursuant to the Directors’ Subscription under the
Top Up Facility, subject to the conditions detailed in section
1.7. Triple Talent may also apply for Shortfall under the
Shortfall Offer, subject to the same conditions detailed in
section 1.7, but it has not provided an irrevocable
commitment to do so as at the date of this Prospectus.
Apollo may also apply for any available Additional New
Shares under the Top Up Facility or Shortfall under the
Shortfall Offer, subject to the same conditions detailed in
section 1.7. While Apollo may apply for Additional New
Shares or Shortfall, it has not provided an irrevocable
commitment to do so as at the date of this Prospectus.
If Shareholder approval is required to issue Additional New
Shares and/or Shortfall to Triple Talent and Apollo, the
Company will obtain Shareholder approval at a general
meeting expected to be held on or around 25 October 2023.
It is not known if Ao-Zhong will take up their Entitlement
under the Entitlement Offer at this time.
How will Shortfall
be allocated?
The Shortfall will be allocated by agreement between the
Lead Manager and the Directors, though the Directors retain
an overarching discretion as to how the Shortfall is
ultimately allocated. Subject to certain exceptions under the
Listing Rules, Directors and certain related parties, including
Triple Talent and Apollo, cannot be issued New Shares
under the Shortfall Offer without prior Shareholder approval.
Any Shortfall will be issued such that it is quoted within
three months from the Entitlement Offer Closing Date. Any
issue of Shortfall will be at the issue price of $0.037.
The Shortfall Offer will close at 5:00pm (AEST) on or before
Wednesday, 1 November 2023, or such earlier date as the
Directors, in their absolute discretion, determine.
Accordingly, Applicants are encouraged to submit their
Applications under the Shortfall Offer as soon as possible.
The Company will not allocate or issue New Shares under
the Shortfall Offer where it is aware that to do so would
result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules
or any other relevant regulation or law.
Section 1.2
How will the
Offers impact
existing
securities?
Current holders of Options should note that the allotment of
the New Shares under the Offers (assuming the Offers are
fully subscribed) will have no impact on the existing Options.
However, there may be an impact on existing Options if the
Offers are not fully subscribed. Under the terms of the
Company’s employee share option plan, an Option will
lapse if the Company undergoes a change of control and
the Board does not resolve to waive any of the vesting
conditions applying to the Options. A change of control
includes a person obtaining a voting power in the Company
which the Board determines is sufficient to control the
compositionoftheBoard. Depending ontake up underthe

Offers, the Board may determine that a change of control
has occurred and the Options may lapse. Refer to section
2.5 for further information on the potential impact of the
Offers on control of the Company.
What has the
Company
achieved lately?
Refer to section 3 for a summary of the Company’s recent
achievements.
Section 3
What are the key
risks of further
investment in the
Company?
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for
New Shares in the Company involves a number of risks.
Some of the more significant risks which affect an
investment in the Company are summarised below. Please
refer to section 4 for further details of both the risks set out
below and other risks that are relevant to a decision to apply
for New Shares.

Limited operating history
Notwithstanding the experience of the Board and the
Company’s management team, the Company is still
in the exploration phase and accordingly has no
operating history in terms of mining and refining and
has limited historical performance. Further, the
Company has operated at a loss since incorporation.
No assurance can be given that the Company will
develop the Kanyika Project. The achievement of the
Company’s objectives will depend on the Company’s
ability to successfully develop the Kanyika Project
and implement its strategy. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in
developing the Kanyika Project or that the Company
will be able to meet the needs of the market
generally. If the Company is unable develop the
Kanyika Project and to implement its strategy, there
may be adverse effects on its results of operations or
financial condition. No assurance can be given that
the Company will achieve profitability nor derive
acceptable returns through the operation of the
Kanyika Project.

Funding risk
The Company’s Financial Report for the half year
ended 31 December 2022 has been prepared on a
going concern basis. However, the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company securing additional debt
and/or equity funding to meet its working capital
requirements. Depending on the amount raised under
the Offers, the Company may not be able to continue
as a going concern. Accordingly, there is a risk that
funds raised will be less than anticipated and further
funding will be required to continue the Company’s
planned activities. The Company’s ability to operate
its business and effectively implement its business
plan withinthe timeframe thatitis aiming to achieve,
Section 4

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 11

Question Response Where to find
more
information
will depend in part on its ability to raise further funds
by way of debt and equity. There is no guarantee that
the Company will be able to secure any additional
funding or be able to secure funding on terms
favourable to the Company.
Existing funds (including the funds raised under the
Offers) will not be sufficient for expenditure required
for certain aspects of the Company’s business plan,
including the financing and development of the
mineral processing plant at the Kanyika Project and
the Company will have to raise further funds by way
of debt or equity in the first half of 2024.
Any additional equity financing may dilute
shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may
involve restrictions on financing and operating
activities. There is no guarantee that the Company
will be able to secure any additional funding or will be
able to secure funding on terms favourable to the
Company.

Mining Licence
On 19 August 2021, the Company was granted the
Mining Licence for the Kanyika Project. The Mining
Licence is subject to the laws and regulations of that
jurisdiction. The Company must therefore comply with
all requirements under the relevant laws (including
mining legislation) of Malawi and comply with all
licencing conditions, including the conditions that:

the Company commence mine development
by 29 September 2024; and

substantial commercial mineral production at
the Kanyika Project commences by 29 March
2028,
(refer to the Company’s ASX announcements dated
29 March 2023 and 14 June 2023 for the latest
updates on the status of the conditions of the Mining
Licence). There is no assurance that the Malawi
government will extend either of these dates if the
Company makes an application to do so or that it will
not make material changes to laws that impact the
Mining Licence, or that approvals or renewals will be
given as a matter of course or on similar economic
terms. There is also additional risk that changes to
government policy could occur that may materially
and adversely affect the Company’s rights and costs
associated with holding its Mining Licence.

Intended operations in Malawi and Namibia
The Company’s Kanyika Project is located in Malawi
and its planned processing facility is expected to be
located in Namibia and as such, the Company’s
operations are exposed to various levels of political,
regulatory, economic and other risks and

uncertainties including the potential for the Malawian
government to require processing of concentrate
within Malawi. These risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to, economic, social or political
instability or change; currency exchange rates; high
rates of inflation; labour unrest; working conditions;
mine safety; labour relations; renegotiation or
nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits
and contracts; changes in taxation policies;
restrictions on foreign exchange; changing political
conditions; currency controls and governmental
regulations that favour or require the awarding of
contracts to local contractors or require foreign
contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase
supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Mineral processing and production technology
risk
Saleable niobium and tantalum must be processed
and produced to very tight quality requirements
relying on proven technology which has yet to be
applied to the concentrate to be produced by the
Kanyika Project. Further metallurgical test work must
be undertaken by the Company and TCM Research
Limited (TCM) or another contractor to provide the
process parameters for a dry-chloride technology
option for the extraction and refining of concentrate
material from the Kanyika Project. Thereafter, further
engineering drawings for a pilot plant and refinery will
need to be completed using these design parameters.
The final refinery design will be dependent on the
outcome of the test work results, which will determine
the bespoke process design criteria to be used in the
final engineering drawings. Once the refinery design
is finalised, cost estimates will also need to be
verified as part of the overall plant and refinery
feasibility studies. Whilst the Company is targeting to
complete the design work in or around the fourth
quarter of 2023, there can be no guarantee that the
Company will achieve these milestones, or if it does,
that the Company will be successful in building the
refinery and processing the concentrates, given the
unproven nature of the technology in the production
of mass scale niobium products and steps involved
and risks associated with such a bespoke process.
If this test work and feasibility study does not support
the adoption of a dry-chloride technology option, then
the Company will need to revert to the refining route
that was the subject of the Feasibility Study and there
is now no certainty as to the viability of that refining
route.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

Mine development The Company is continuing to study and optimise the Kanyika Project, which may include publishing an updated Feasibility Study which will inform further decisions on the development of the Kanyika Project. Possible future development of mining and processing operations at the Kanyika Project is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s processing, extraction and refinery technology being successful, economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If the Company is successful in obtaining the required funding to achieve production at the Kanyika Project and commences production on the Kanyika Project, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, including cost overrun; time overrun; engineering design defects; faulty workmanship; personal injury; or death. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Kanyika Project. The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Kanyika Project reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.  Reliance on key personnel The Company’s ability to successfully develop the Kanyika Project and implement its strategy will depend substantially on the performance and expertise of its key personnel and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate, in the mining industry as well as technology and marketing in the niobium and tantalum commodity markets. The loss of services of one or more key personnel may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Furthermore, depending on the final investment decision, if the Company proceeds to development it will need to expand its workforce and if it is unable to attract, train and retain key individuals and other highly skilled employees and consultants, the results of its operations or financial condition may be adversely affected.  Commodity price risk The demand for, and the price of, commodities are highly dependent on a variety of factors, including

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 14

international supply and demand, the price and
availability of substitutes, actions taken by
governments and global economic and political
developments. Given the Company’s main activities,
which primarily involve potentially the production of
niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium, the
Company’s operational and financial performance, as
well as the economic viability of its projects, is heavily
reliant on the prevailing global price of niobium,
tantalum and deleterious uranium, among other
things. Volatility in commodity markets may therefore
materially affect the profitability and financial
performance of the Company and the price of its
Shares.

ASX quotation
If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New
Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus within
three months after the date of this Prospectus (or
such period as varied by ASIC), the Company will not
allot New Shares and will repay all application monies
for the New Shares within the time period prescribed
under the Corporations Act, without interest.

Outcome of feasibility work and updated
Feasibility Study
The feasibility work the Company plans to undertake
is detailed in section 3 and may include producing an
updated Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study has
not been updated for potential changes in commodity
prices, competition, foreign exchange, labour costs
and shortages, logistics, capital costs and other
economic conditions since it was published in August
2021 and, subject to the additional feasibility work,
the potential improvements and efficiencies detailed
in section 3. There can be no assurance that the
feasibility work the Company plans to undertake will
verify the potential improvements and efficiencies
detailed in section 3, or that an updated Feasibility
Study, if produced, will not result in findings different
to that of the original Feasibility Study, depending on
the outcome of the feasibility work and other factors
impacting upon the Kanyika Project.

Economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest
and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may
have an adverse effect on the Company’s potential
future development and production activities, as well
as on its ability to fund those activities and to receive
future dividends.
Further, security market conditions may affect the
value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless
of the Company’s operating performance. Security
market conditions are affected by many factors such
as general economic outlook; interest rates and
inflation rates; currency fluctuations; changes in
investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

1 Details of the Offers

1.1 Entitlement Offer

This Prospectus invites Eligible Shareholders to participate in a pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement issue of up to approximately 217,186,584 New Shares on the basis of three (3) New Shares for every seven (7) Shares held at 7:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date at an issue price of $0.037 per New Share, for the purpose of raising up to approximately $8,000,000 less expenses of the Offers.

The Entitlement Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders only. An Eligible Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer is a Shareholder with a registered address in Australia, British Virgin Islands, China (Institutional Investors only), Guernsey, Hong Kong, Malawi, New Zealand and Singapore and any other jurisdictions as agreed between the Company and the Lead Manager who is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer on the Record Date (being 7:00pm (AEST) on Monday, 14 August 2023).

If you are not an Eligible Shareholder, you are an Ineligible Shareholder and are not able to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

As at the time this Prospectus was lodged with ASIC and ASX, the Company has 506,768,695 Shares on issue.

Existing Option holders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. However, they may exercise their Options prior to the Record Date if they wish to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

The Company currently has 22,463,078 unquoted Options on issue. In the event that these existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, approximately 9,627,033 additional New Shares will be offered pursuant to this Prospectus to raise up to a further $356,200.

All of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to section 5.7 of this Prospectus for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares.

Top Up Facility

The Entitlement Offer also includes a Top Up Facility (which includes the Directors’ Subscription offer), which entitles Eligible Shareholders who have applied for their full Entitlement to apply for any number of Additional New Shares, subject to scale back.

The Directors’ Subscription is a separate offer within the Entitlement Offer, which is being made under this Prospectus conditional on Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. Under the Directors’ Subscription offer:

  • (a) Triple Talent will apply for Additional New Shares pursuant to the Triple Commitment under the Top Up Facility (refer to section 1.7 for further details on the Triple Commitment); and

  • (b) Directors and related parties who are Eligible Shareholders may apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility.

The Board will exercise its discretion to scale back applications for Additional New Shares in accordance with section 1.12. As such, there is no guarantee that you will receive any or all of the Additional New Shares you apply for.

The Company will not allocate or issue New Shares under the Top Up Facility where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 18

Facility must consider whether the issue of the Additional New Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law having regard to their own circumstances and should seek professional advice where necessary.

Please refer to section 1.11 for details on how to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility.

1.2 Shortfall

Any Entitlements not taken up under the Entitlement Offer (including the Top Up Facility) will form the Shortfall. If Shareholder approval is not obtained for the Directors’ Subscription, those Additional New Shares will also form the Shortfall. The offer to issue Shortfall to investors is a separate offer under the Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ). The Shortfall Offer will be on the same terms and conditions as the Entitlement Offer, except as set out in this Prospectus. The issue price for each New Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer will be the same issue price as under the Entitlement Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is not open to the general public. Investors will be invited by the Lead Manager to participate and will be provided with a copy of this Prospectus and an Application Form. It is possible there may be no Shortfall Shares available for issue. Shortfall Shares may only be offered and sold outside Australia to Institutional Investors in Permitted Jurisdictions for the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall will be allocated by agreement between the Lead Manager and the Directors, though the Directors retain an overarching discretion as to how the Shortfall is ultimately allocated. Any investor invited by the Lead Manager to apply for Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer must not receive more than the lower of 2% of the issued capital of the Company post-Offers or $500,000 ( Ownership Limit ), without the Company’s approval. The ownership of the Company is currently concentrated among relatively few Shareholders with minimal trading liquidity. The rationale behind the Ownership Limit is to increase the number of potential new Shareholders on the Register that may be introduced via the Shortfall Offer and increase the liquidity of the Shares. The Ownership Limit only applies to the Shortfall and does not apply to any applications by Apollo, Ao-Zhong or Triple Talent.

Any Shortfall will be issued such that it is quoted within three months of the Entitlement Offer Closing Date. The Shortfall Offer will close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 1 November 2023, or such earlier date as the Directors, in their absolute discretion, determine. Accordingly, Applicants are encouraged to submit their Applications under the Shortfall Offer as soon as possible.

The Company will not allocate or issue New Shares under the Shortfall Offer where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law. Applicants under the Shortfall Offer must consider whether the issue of the New Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law having regard to their own circumstances.

The Directors reserve the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of New Shares than the number for which the Applicant applies under the Shortfall Offer, or to reject an Application for Shortfall, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall. In that event, application monies will be refunded by the Company (without interest) in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act.

Notes:

  • 1 Costs associated with technical feasibility work, including updating the existing Feasibility Study and costs used in the existing Feasibility Study subject to verifying the improvements and efficiencies detailed in section 3) and other work including (but not limited to) updated process flow diagrams, technical review, financial feasibility review, design review, literature review and concept formulation and systems structure.

  • 2 Including (but not limited to) costs associated with the Namibia refinery environmental impact assessment, property purchase and set up, plant commissioning and procurement, on site mine and refinery employees/consultants and preliminary mine set up.

  • 3 The repayment of an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in director loans above is in respect to loans provided by the Company’s Director Bo Tan, a related party of Triple Talent, who has provided multiple loans to support the Company. Mr Bo Tan has recently provided another bridging loan of $200,000 to the Company to provide the Company with funding whilst it awaits the proceeds from the Offers (which is included in the approximately $1.3 million worth of loans above). The Company has entered into deed of assignment and variation with Mr Bo Tan to assign the various director loans to Triple Talent with effect from the date the Lead Manager receives a duly completed and executed application for the Triple Commitment securities and extend the due date for repayment of the first of the director loans to 4 November 2023. Refer to section 5.9(c) for further details.

  • 4 Including (but not limited to) costs associated with director fees, salaries, consulting fees, corporate advisory, marketing and conferences, legal, accounting, audit and ASX listing fees and other operating expenses. For further information on the costs of the Offers alone, please refer to Section 5.12.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. It is anticipated that these funds will be applied over the next six to nine months. As noted above, the funds raised under the Offers will be used in part to undertake additional feasibility work at the Kanyika Project, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024, and may include updating the Company’s existing Feasibility Study. Depending on the outcome of the feasibility work, the Company may decide to:

  • (a) raise further funds in the first half of 2024 (including entering into potential offtake agreements) to proceed with Phase One of the Kanyika Project;

  • (b) conduct further feasibility work, following which the Company may decide to proceed in accordance with (a) above or not proceed with development at the Kanyika Project; or

  • (c) not proceed with development at the Kanyika Project.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 20

Notwithstanding (a) to (c) above, the Company will require additional funding (beyond the funds raised under the Offers) by way of debt or equity to progress to Phase One and ultimately proceed with development of the Kanyika Project.

The above proposed use of funds is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by the Company. As with any budget, the actual use of funds raised under the Offers may change depending on the outcome of activities as they proceed. To the extent the full amount is not raised under the Offers, the Company believes it has sufficient funding to complete the projects detailed in the table above with only the Firm Commitments and Triple Commitment raised, however it will scale back or delay work on some of these projects which would have otherwise been accelerated where the full amount was raised. If the scope, time or cost requirements of the feasibility work increases, then the Company may need to raise further funds to complete the feasibility work.

Please refer to Section 3 for further details on the Company’s recent activities and plans for the Kanyika Project.

Any additional funds raised from the participation of Eligible Shareholders in the Offers following the exercise of their Options prior to the Record Date will be applied towards the Company’s general working capital and administration expenses .

The Company’s current cash resources and additional capital proposed to be raised by the Offers are sufficient to meet the Company’s current stated activities over the next six to nine months.

1.4 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription in respect of the Offers.

1.5 No trading of Entitlements

Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable and accordingly Eligible Shareholders may not dispose of or trade any part of their Entitlement.

1.6 Opening and Closing Dates

The Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on Thursday, 17 August 2023.

The Entitlement Offer will close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Thursday, 31 August 2023, or such later date as the Directors, in their absolute discretion and subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, may determine and provided that the Company gives ASX notice of the change at least three Business Days prior to the Entitlement Offer Closing Date.

The Shortfall Offer will close at 5:00pm (AEST) on or before Wednesday, 1 November 2023, or such earlier date as the Directors, in their absolute discretion, determine. Accordingly, Applicants are encouraged to submit their Applications under the Shortfall Offer as soon as possible.

1.7 Major Shareholder participation

The Company and the Lead Manager have obtained irrevocable commitments from the Company’s major shareholders to take up their full Entitlements in respect of the Entitlement Offer as follows (together, the Firm Commitments ):

  • (a) Apollo, for approximately $3.9 million; and

  • (b) Triple Talent, for approximately $388,000.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 21

The Company and the Lead Manager have also obtained an irrevocable commitment from Triple Talent to apply for approximately $1.3 million in Additional New Shares (if available) pursuant to the Directors’ Subscription under the Top Up Facility ( Triple Commitment ), subject to:

  • (a) FIRB approval to the extent required and not already obtained;

  • (b) Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 at a general meeting of the Company; and

  • (c) compliance with section 606 of the Corporations Act, which may include relying on item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act to fall outside the prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.

Triple Talent may also apply for Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer, subject to the same conditions detailed above, but it has not provided an irrevocable commitment to do so as at the date of this Prospectus.

Apollo may also apply for any available Additional New Shares pursuant to the Directors’ Subscription under the Top Up Facility or Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer, subject to the same conditions. While Apollo may apply for Shortfall, it has not provided an irrevocable commitment to do so as at the date of this Prospectus.

If Shareholder approval is required for the Directors’ Subscription, the Company will obtain Shareholder approval at a general meeting expected to be held on or around 25 October 2023. To the extent that a general meeting (if required) is delayed and any Additional New Shares to be issued under the Directors’ Subscription are not issued such that they are quoted within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company may seek to undertake the Directors’ Subscription offer later under another offer.

The funds raised from the Triple Commitment will be set off against the existing approximately $1.3 million worth of loan facilities provided by Bo Tan. Refer to section 1.3 of this Prospectus for further information on the intended use of funds.

It is not known if Ao-Zhong will take up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer at this time.

If:

  • (a) Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer (other than Apollo and Triple Talent); and

  • (b) Ao-Zhong takes up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer,

Ao-Zhong’s voting power in the Company will increase. If Ao-Zhong’s voting power in the Company increases, it may be required to obtain FIRB approval. As a result, the Company will scale back its application to the extent necessary to maintain its current voting power in the Company and to comply with all applicable laws (including FIRB).

Refer to section 2.5 for the potential impact of the Offers on the control of the Company.

1.8 Underwriting

The Offers are not underwritten. However, pursuant to the Lead Manager Agreement, the Lead Manager will place any remaining Shortfall to third parties on a best endeavours basis, provided each investor does not receive more than the Ownership Limit, without the Company’s approval. The ownership of the Company is currently concentrated among relatively few Shareholders with minimal trading liquidity. The rationale behind the Ownership Limit is to increase the number of potential new Shareholders on the Register that may be introduced via the Shortfall Offer and increase the liquidity

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 22

of the Shares. The Ownership Limit only applies to the Shortfall and does not apply to any applications by Apollo, Ao-Zhong or Triple Talent.

1.9 Lead Manager

Further queries

If you have any queries regarding your Entitlement, please contact the Share Registry by telephone on 1300 441 597 (within Australia) or +61 2 8072 1465 (outside Australia) or email at [email protected] during the Entitlement Offer period or contact your stockbroker or professional adviser.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR ENTITLEMENT IN FULL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT ABOVE, ANY PART OF AN ENTITLEMENT NOT ACCEPTED IN FULL WILL FORM PART OF THE TOP UP FACILITY AND/OR SHORTFALL.

1.11 Applying for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility

Eligible Shareholders who have applied for their full Entitlement may apply for any number of Additional New Shares, subject to scale back.

Applications for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility may be made by completing the relevant section of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. Payment for any Additional New Shares must be made in the same manner as described in section 1.10(a) of this Prospectus (at $0.037 per New Share).

The right to receive Additional New Shares which are in excess of an Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement will be determined by the Directors at their sole discretion. Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares which are in excess of their Entitlement may not be issued any or all of those excess Additional New Shares applied for.

It is possible that there will be few or no Additional New Shares available for issue, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders. There is also no guarantee that in the event

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 24

Additional New Shares are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them.

1.12 Scale back of applications and allocation of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility

The Directors reserve the right to scale back any applications for Additional New Shares at their discretion. The Directors will exercise this discretion in the interests of Shareholders, but will scale back applications, inter alia, to the extent required by applicable laws and policy and pro rata to a Shareholder’s application.

It is an express term of the Entitlement Offer that Applicants for Additional New Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Additional New Shares allocated to them than applied for if so allocated. If a lesser number of Additional New Shares is allocated to them than applied for, excess application monies will be refunded without interest.

Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares should note that the Company will not allocate or issue New Shares under the Top Up Facility where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility must consider whether or not the issue of the Additional New Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law having regard to their own circumstances and should seek professional advice where necessary.

Notes:

  • 1 Assumes Shareholder approval is obtained for the Directors’ Subscription for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

  • 2 If all Options that are currently capable of being exercised prior to the Record Date, a further 9,627,033 New Shares will be offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

  • 3 Comprises 3,273,078 Options each with an exercise price of $0.13 and expiring on 30 November 2025, 5,000,000 Options each with an exercise price of $0.13 and expiring on 30 June 2026 and 14,190,000 Options each with an exercise price of $0.13 and expiring on various dates between 10 January 2026 and 26 July 2027. Under the terms of the Company’s employee share option plan, an Option will lapse if the Company undergoes a change of control and the Board does not resolve to waive any of the vesting conditions applying to the Options. A change of control includes a person obtaining a voting power in the Company which the Board determines is sufficient to control the composition of the Board. Depending on take up under the Offers, the Board may determine that a change of control has occurred and the Options may lapse. Refer to section 2.5 for further information on the potential impact of the Offers on control of the Company.

No Shares or Options on issue are subject to escrow restrictions, either voluntary or ASX imposed.

2.4 Takeover prohibition

Subject to certain exceptions set out in section 611 of the Corporations Act, section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person acquiring a relevant interest in voting shares or interests through a transaction in relation to securities that increases that person’s, or someone else’s, voting power in a regulated entity from 20% or below to more than 20% or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

Depending upon the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer, relevant persons, including Apollo, may need to rely on item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act to fall outside the prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. As Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, the Company is required by section 615 of the Corporations Act to appoint a nominee to sell the New Shares that might have otherwise been issued to Ineligible Shareholders. The Company has appointed Canaccord as its nominee for this purpose ( Nominee ). The Company obtained ASIC’s approval for the appointment of the Nominee on 3 August 2023, as required by section 615 of the Corporations Act.

The Nominee will subscribe for the New Shares which Ineligible Shareholders would be entitled to if they were eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer ( Nominee Shares ). The Nominee will then sell all the Nominee Shares issued to it and distribute the proceeds (net of any expenses) from the sale of the Nominee Shares (if any) to the Ineligible Shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings via the Share Registry. The Nominee will have the sole and absolute discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Nominee Shares must be sold and the manner of any such sale. Any interest earnt on the proceeds of the sale of the Nominee Shares will firstly be applied against expenses of the sale, including brokerage, and any balance will form part of the proceeds payable to the Ineligible Shareholders (if any).

The Company will forward the proceeds of the sale of the Nominee Shares (if any) as soon as reasonably practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings (after deducting the subscription price, brokerage commission and any other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company. Notwithstanding that the Nominee must sell the Nominee Shares, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the subscription price plus costs of the sale is greater than the sale proceeds.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 37

For performing this role, Canaccord will not receive any fees from the Company beyond the fees already payable under the Lead Manager Agreement (refer to section 5.4 for further details of the Lead Manager Agreement).

2.5 Potential impact of the Offers on control of the Company

As the Offers are not underwritten, the Offers may result in a Shareholder or Shareholders increasing their voting power in the Company.

Assuming no existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of New Shares which will be issued pursuant to the Offers is up to 217,186,584. This equates to up to approximately 30% of all the issued Shares in the Company immediately following completion of the Offers (assuming that no existing Options are exercised prior to that date).

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers, their holdings will be diluted by up to approximately 42.90% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus and assuming that no existing Options are exercised immediately following completion of the Offers). Examples of how dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:

3 Company Update

The Company is an ASX listed mineral exploration company focused on progressing its Kanyika niobium and tantalum project in Malawi ( Kanyika Project ). The Kanyika Project is secured by LargeScale Mining Licence No. LML0216/21 ( Mining Licence ) granted in August 2021 which confers on the Company the exclusive right to prospect and mine at the Kanyika Project for a term of 25 years over an area of 33.42km[2] .

Following the grant of the Mining Licence, a feasibility study was completed to determine the economic viability of the Kanyika Project ( Feasibility Study ), the findings of which were announced to the ASX on 19 August 2021. The Feasibility Study determined that a mine would produce about 260,000 tonnes of niobium and tantalum concentrate over a 23-year life of mine and on average about 11,300 tonne per annum.[1]

The Feasibility Study was based on mining and processing in Malawi in order to produce a niobium/tantalum pyrochlore mineral concentrate which was to be transported to a refinery located outside of the African continent where the concentrate was to be refined using aggressive acid and flammable liquids which left radioactive tailings which required disposal.

On 29 March 2023, the Company entered into a Mining Development Agreement ( MDA ) with the Malawi Government for the development of the Kanyika Project.

As set out in the ASX announcement dated 29 March 2023, the MDA is subject to and conditional upon the Company obtaining:

  • (a) a satisfactory ruling from the Malawi Revenue Authority in relation to the determination of gross revenue in respect of product produced from the mining and processing of ore at the Kanyika Project; and

  • (b) an extension to the time limits prescribed under the Mines and Minerals Act 2018 for the commencement of substantial mine development, and substantial mineral production, at the Kanyika Project to ensure those time limits are consistent with the timeline contemplated in the MDA.

On 14 June 2023, the Company announced that it had received an extension to the time limits for the commencement of substantial mine development, and substantial mineral production subject to certain conditions under the Mining Licence that:

  • (a) the Company commence mine development by 29 September 2024; and

  • (b) substantial commercial mineral production at the Kanyika Project commences by 29 March 2028.

The MDA remains subject to and conditional upon the Company obtaining a satisfactory ruling from the Malawi Revenue Authority. Deloitte have been appointed to set up the transfer pricing protocol but at this stage no submissions have been made to the Malawi Revenue Authority.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is in process of searching for mine consultants and employees and has commenced work with highly skilled vendors and is currently on track to satisfy the condition to commence mine development by 29 September 2024.

Following grant of the Mining Licence and entry in the MDA, the Company is now focused on progressing feasibility work at the Kanyika Project, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

1 Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 19 August 2021 and entitled “Kanyika Niobium Project – Project Feasibility and Economics.”

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 42

The Company has determined there may be a more efficient and safer way of processing the concentrate using a known process which could be built on the African continent in proximity to existing tailings facilities which can deal with radioactive tailings. This process is a dry-chloride technology. Dry-chloride technology has not yet been tested or proven to be effective in refining the Kanyika Project concentrate. It is this process technology which the Company proposes to study and then include in an updated Feasibility Study as an improved processing route to that which formed part of the existing Feasibility Study. This feasibility work has included metallurgical test work for the extraction and refining of concentrate material and for the design of a new form of refining as part of the Kanyika Project ( Phase One ).

In relation to the feasibility work, the Company has recently:

  • (a) completed a 10-tonne sampling program at the Kanyika Project;[2]

  • (b) confirmed a logistics solution for safe and compliant transportation of Class 7 material from the Kanyika Project concentrate;[3] and

  • (c) announced six highly experienced vendors selected, including TCM Research Limited ( TCM ), to advance the Kanyika Project.[4]

TCM was selected to design the refinery process for the Kanyika concentrate and to determine the design parameters of the refinery. The Company is continuing to progress negotiations with TCM and is in the final stages of negotiating a binding contract with TCM in relation to these services at the Kanyika Project. The Company will release an ASX announcement once a binding contract is executed (if any). There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to agree and enter into a contract with TCM on terms favourable to the Company or at all.

To assist with funding further feasibility work, the Company announced on 18 November 2022 that it had received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise $1.55 million (before costs) via a two-tranche placement ( Placement ).[5] Participants in the Placement would also receive one (1) free attaching option for every five (5) shares subscribed for in the Placement (each with an exercise price of $0.13 and expiring on 30 November 2025). Viriathus Capital Pty Ltd ( Viriathus ) acted as lead manager of the Placement.

The Shares and Options pursuant to tranche one of the Placement were issued on 25 November 2022 and the Company raised approximately $1.039 million. On 31 July 2023, the Company announced that it had terminated its engagement with Viriathus. Consequently, the Company will not be proceeding with tranche two of the Placement and it will not raise an additional $0.5 million.[6]

In addition to the Placement, Mr Bo Tan, a Director of the Company, has provided multiple loans since 11 March 2022[7] to provide further working capital and support to the Company as it progressed its studies whilst waiting for the final approvals of the MDA from the Malawi Government. As at the date of this Prospectus, the outstanding total loan facilities provided to the Company by Mr Bo Tan is

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 43

$1,274,871 (including interest calculated to 31 October 2023). As noted in section 1.3, the Company intends to repay this outstanding amount from funds raised under the Offers.

On 31 July 2023, the Company entered into a deed of assignment and variation in respect of the loan facilities, such that:

  • (a) the various loan facilities are assigned to Triple Talent (an entity associated with Mr Bo Tan) with effect from the date the Lead Manager receives a duly completed and executed application for the Triple Commitment securities; and

  • (b) the date for repayment of the first of the loan facilities is extended to 4 November 2023.

The deed of assignment and variation otherwise contains additional terms and conditions that are considered standard for a deed of its nature. This will enable the Company to set off the Triple Commitment against the outstanding amounts owed to Mr Bo Tan. Refer to section 5.9(c) for further details.

On successful completion of the Offers, the Company will have no debt. As noted in section 1.3, the funds raised under the Offers will be used in part to progress further feasibility work for the Kanyika Project.

On completion of the additional feasibility work, which is expected to be completed in or around the first quarter of 2024 and may include updating the Company’s existing Feasibility Study, the Company may decide to:

  • (a) raise further funds in the first half of 2024 (including entering into potential offtake agreements) to proceed with Phase One of the Kanyika Project;

  • (b) conduct further feasibility work, following which the Company may decide to proceed in accordance with (a) above or not proceed with development at the Kanyika Project; or

  • (c) not proceed with development at the Kanyika Project.

Notwithstanding (a) to (c) above, the Company will require additional funding (beyond the funds raised under the Offers) by way of debt or equity to progress to ultimately proceed with development of the Kanyika Project and progressing the Kanyika Project to first production.

Since 2021, the Company has continued to refine its plans, including undertaking additional feasibility work to update the Feasibility Study for potential improvements and efficiencies that the Company has identified since the original Feasibility Study was released.

The Company believes the material assumptions underlying the Feasibility Study have not materially changed, including:

  • (a) the 2018 mineral resource estimate, prepared in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, of 68.3 million tonnes of mineralisation with a grade of 2,830 ppm Nb2O5 and 135 ppm Ta2O5;

  • (b) the 2021 ore reserve, prepared in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, of 33.8 Mt at a grade of 3,038 ppm Nb2O5 and 141 ppm Ta2O5, which supports a mine life of 23 years;

  • (c) mining involving conventional open pit mining, consisting of drill-and-blast followed by load-haul using shovels and off-road articulated haul trucks;

  • (d)

  • a life of mine average strip ratio is 1.54 waste to 1 ore;

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 44

  • (e) construction of supporting infrastructure at the mine site including a river diversion, roads, tailings storage facility, camp and general buildings, water supply and grid power connection; and

  • (f) unchanged revenue and selling price assumptions, as well as environmental impacts.

Whilst the above material assumptions have not changed, the Company notes certain macroeconomic assumptions including potential changes in commodity prices, competition, foreign exchange, labour costs and shortages, logistics, capital costs and other economic conditions have not been updated and reflected in the Feasibility Study.

Moreover, the Company proposes to use the funds raised under the Offers to undertake additional work to validate potential improvements and efficiencies to the original Feasibility Study, which include:

  • (a) replacing the hydrofluoric/sulphuric acid leach with ammonia precipitation previously planned to occur in the United Arab Emirates for a dry-chloride technology option based in Namibia employing a different processing route for transporting the concentrates to that of the original Feasibility Study;

  • (b) changing the design for the concentrator from two stage flotation to single stage flotation and using four floatation reagents with a single common water circuit, as opposed to 12 flotation reagents with a dual water circuit. In addition, on the jaw crusher/cone crusher/EDS multishift, a mill/ball mill combination will be used (as opposed to a jaw crusher/SAG mill/ball mill combination);

  • (c) developing the Kanyika Project in two stages, comprising Phase One and Phase Two (defined below); and

  • (d) various environmental, social and governance and renewable energy improvements will be made in respect to the Kanyika Project.

Once the Company has verified Phase One production rates, it proposes to expand the proposed mine and refinery plant for the Kanyika Project to full scale production over approximately three years ( Phase Two ). Once the Company has demonstrated its ability to mine, concentrate, refine and sell niobium products under Phase One, it will require further funding by way of debt or equity to progress the Kanyika Project to Phase Two. During this ramp up phase, set indicatively from November 2024 to November 2027, it is proposed that the Feasibility Study will be updated again to reflect Phase Two.

Whilst the Feasibility Study has not been updated for the above noted macro-economic changes and, subject to the additional feasibility work, the potential improvements and efficiencies detailed above, as at the date of this Prospectus, the Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the Feasibility Study (and the production target included in the Feasibility Study) as reported to the ASX on 19 August 2021 continue to apply and have not materially changed.

4 Risk Factors

4.1 Introduction

As with any investment in securities, there are risks involved. An investment in the New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

This section 4 describes some of the potential material risks associated with an investment in the Company, the industry in which the Company operates, and the risks associated with an investment in New Shares.

An investment in the Company is subject to risks specific to the Company and its business and is also subject to general risks. Each of these risks could, if they eventuate, have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, operating and financial performance and the value of the New Shares. The occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described here are partially or completely outside of the Company’s control or the control of Directors and management.

The risks described in this section 4 are not the only risks faced by the Company. Additional risks (including risks of which the Company and its Directors are currently unaware) also have the potential to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, operating and financial performance and the value of its Shares.

Before deciding whether to invest in the Company, Applicants should read this Prospectus carefully and, in its entirety, and satisfy themselves that they have enough understanding of the actual and potential risks associated with such an investment. Applicants should consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for them having regard to their personal circumstances, investment objectives, financial situation, tax position and needs. If an Applicant does not understand any part of this Prospectus or are in any doubt as to whether to invest in the Company, they should seek professional advice from their stockbroker, accountant, lawyer, financial adviser or other independent professional adviser.

4.2 Risks specific to the Company and an investment in securities

Limited operating history

Notwithstanding the experience of the Board and the Company’s management team, the Company is still in the exploration phase and accordingly has no operating history in terms of mining and refining and has limited historical performance. Further, the Company has operated at a loss since incorporation. No assurance can be given that the Company will develop the Kanyika Project. The achievement of the Company’s objectives will depend on the Company’s ability to successfully develop the Kanyika Project and implement its strategy. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing the Kanyika Project or that the Company will be able to meet the needs of the market generally. If the Company is unable develop the Kanyika Project and to implement its strategy, there may be adverse effects on its results of operations or financial condition. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve profitability nor derive acceptable returns through the operation of the Kanyika Project.

Funding risk

The Company’s Financial Report for the half year ended 31 December 2022 has been prepared on a going concern basis. However, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company securing additional debt and/or equity funding to meet its working capital requirements. Depending on the amount raised under the Offers, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, there is a risk that funds raised will be less than anticipated and further funding will be required to continue the Company’s planned activities. The Company’s ability to operate its business and effectively implement its business plan within the timeframe that it is aiming to achieve, will depend in part on its ability to raise further funds by way of debt and equity.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 46

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

Existing funds (including the funds raised under the Offers) will not be sufficient for expenditure required for certain aspects of the Company’s business plan, including the financing and development of the mineral processing plant at the Kanyika Project and the Company will have to raise further funds by way of debt or equity in the first half of 2024.

Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or will be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

Mining Licence

The Mining Licence is subject to the laws and regulations of that jurisdiction. The Company must therefore comply with all requirements under the relevant laws (including mining legislation) of Malawi and comply with all licencing conditions, including the conditions that:

  • (a) the Company commence mine development by 29 September 2024; and

  • (b) substantial commercial mineral production at the Kanyika Project commences by 29 March 2028,

(refer to the Company’s ASX announcements dated 29 March 2023 and 14 June 2023 for the latest updates on the status of the conditions of the Mining Licence). There is no assurance that the Malawi government will extend either of these dates if the Company makes an application to do so or that it will not make material changes to laws that impact the Mining Licence, or that approvals or renewals will be given as a matter of course or on similar economic terms. There is also additional risk that changes to government policy could occur that may materially and adversely affect the Company’s rights and costs associated with holding its Mining Licence.

Intended operations in Malawi and Namibia

The Company’s Kanyika Project is located in Malawi and its planned processing facility is expected to be located in Namibia and as such, the Company’s operations are exposed to various levels of political, regulatory, economic and other risks and uncertainties including the potential for the Malawian government to require processing of concentrate within Malawi. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic, social or political instability or change; currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; working conditions; mine safety; labour relations; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange; changing political conditions; currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in Malawi or Namibia may adversely affect the Company’s operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by governmental regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production; price controls; export controls; currency remittance; income taxes; foreign investment; environmental legislation; land use; land claims of local people; water use; mine safety and government and local participation. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral tenure and development, could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements. The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties that cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or profitability.

Mineral processing and production technology risk

Saleable niobium and tantalum must be processed and produced to very tight quality requirements relying on proven technology which has yet to be applied to the concentrate to be produced by the Kanyika Project. Further metallurgical test work must be undertaken by the Company and TCM or another contractor to provide the process parameters for a dry-chloride technology option for the extraction and refining of concentrate material from the Kanyika Project. Thereafter, further engineering drawings for a pilot plant and refinery will need to be completed using these design parameters. The final refinery design will be dependent on the outcome of the test work results, which will determine the bespoke process design criteria to be used in the final engineering drawings. Once the refinery design is finalised, cost estimates will also need to be verified as part of the overall plant and refinery feasibility studies. Whilst the Company is targeting to complete the design work in or around the fourth quarter of 2023, there can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve these milestones, or if it does, that the Company will be successful in building the refinery and processing the concentrates given the unproven nature of the technology in the production of mass scale niobium products and steps involved and risks associated with such a bespoke process.

If this test work and feasibility study does not support the adoption of a dry-chloride technology option, then the Company will need to revert to the refining route that was the subject of the Feasibility Study and there is now no certainty as to the viability of that refining route.

Mine development

The Company is continuing to study and optimise the Kanyika Project, which may include publishing an updated Feasibility Study which will inform further decisions on the development of the Kanyika Project. Possible future development of mining and processing operations at the Kanyika Project is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s processing, extraction and refinery technology being successful, economically recoverable mineralisation, favourable geological conditions, receiving the necessary approvals from all relevant authorities and parties, seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities, mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment, shortages or increases in the price of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns, access to the required level of funding and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services. If the Company is successful in obtaining the required funding to achieve production at the Kanyika Project and commences production on the Kanyika Project, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, including cost overrun; time overrun; engineering design defects; faulty workmanship; personal injury; or death. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through the development of the Kanyika Project. The risks associated with the development of a mine will be considered in full should the Kanyika Project reach that stage and will be managed with ongoing consideration of stakeholder interests.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s ability to successfully develop the Kanyika Project and implement its strategy will depend substantially on the performance and expertise of its key personnel and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate, in the mining industry as well as technology and marketing in the niobium and tantalum commodity markets. The loss of services of one or more key personnel may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Furthermore, depending on the final investment decision, if the Company proceeds to development it will need to expand its workforce and if it is unable to attract, train and retain key individuals and other highly skilled employees and consultants, the results of its operations or financial condition may be adversely affected.

Transport risk

The Company proposes to transport product from the Kanyika Project to Namibia for processing via South Africa. Certain strict protocols will need to be followed in the management and handling of the product. Ensuring that the Company has a compliant transport operator that can carry concentrate

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 48

from the Kanyika Project to the proposed refinery in Namibia is a critical step in the de-risking of the Kanyika Project. Whilst the Company will undertake thorough due diligence in selecting a transport operator, the Company will ultimately be relying on a third party to transport the product and their reliance on management protocols.

Outcome of feasibility work and updated Feasibility Study

The feasibility work the Company plans to undertake is detailed in section 3 and may include producing an updated Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study has not been updated for potential changes in commodity prices, competition, foreign exchange, labour costs and shortages, logistics, capital costs and other economic conditions since it was published in August 2021 and, subject to the additional feasibility work, the potential improvements and efficiencies detailed in section 3. There can be no assurance that the feasibility work the Company plans to undertake will verify the potential improvements and efficiencies detailed in section 3, or that an updated Feasibility Study, if produced, will not result in findings different to that of the original Feasibility Study, depending on the outcome of the feasibility work and other factors impacting upon the Kanyika Project.

Offtake

There is no certainty that the Company will be able to enter into binding offtake agreements, nor can the Company give any assurances that there will be sufficient demand for niobium and tantalum products if the Company was to successfully proceed to commercial production at the Kanyika Project. The Company's ability to generate sufficient revenue or to secure debt financing for the Kanyika Project will be dependent upon its ability to secure offtake partners for all or most of its production. There can be no certainty the Company will be able to enter offtake contracts covering all of its production, at prices or on terms which support the economics or funding of the Kanyika Project.

Community relations

The Company’s ability to undertake mining activities at the Kanyika Project will depend in part on its ability to maintain good relations with the relevant local communities in Malawi. Any failure to adequately manage community expectations in relation to land access, mining activity, employment opportunities, impact on environment and local businesses and other expectations may lead to disputes or disruptions which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or profitability.

Operational risks

The Company’s future operations and profitability will be subject to operational risks. These include geological conditions, technical difficulties, metallurgical issues, mineral processing risk, securing and maintaining licenses, availability of supplies, access to certain key infrastructure such as power, water, sanitation, roads, transportation, accommodation, ports and laydown/storage areas (in a timely and economic manner), health and safety risks, weather and construction of efficient processing facilities. The operation may be affected by force majeure, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

These factors may affect the Company’s ability to establish mining and processing operations, continue with the Kanyika Project, produce saleable product at expected quantities and cost and earn income from its operations and will affect the price of its Shares.

Contractual risk

In addition, the Company has selected TCM to design the refinery process for the concentrate at the Kanyika Project. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to enter into a contract with TCM, or any other third party, for its operations at the Kanyika Project or secure contracts on terms favourable to the Company. Failure to successfully enter into contracts for operations at the Kanyika Project could also negatively impact the Company being able to produce viable product which in turn will impact on the Company’s financial performance.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 49

Mineral resource and reserve estimation risk

Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

In addition, resource and reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource and reserve estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Commodity price risk

The demand for, and the price of, commodities are highly dependent on a variety of factors, including international supply and demand, the price and availability of substitutes, actions taken by governments and global economic and political developments. Given the Company’s future activities may involve the production of niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium, the Company’s future operational and financial performance, as well as the economic viability of its projects, is heavily reliant on the prevailing global price of niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium, among other things. Volatility in commodity markets may therefore materially affect the profitability and financial performance of the Company and the price of its Shares.

In addition, any sustained low global price for niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium (as well as other related commodities) may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results, and its ability to finance, and the financing arrangements for, its activities or its planned capital expenditure commitments (in the ordinary course of the Company’s operations).

The factors which affect the prices for niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium, as well as other related commodities (which are outside the control of the Company and its Directors) include, among many other factors, manufacturing and construction activities; the quantity of global supply in each of these respective commodities as a result of the commissioning of new mines and the decommissioning of others; political developments in countries which produce material quantities of these named commodities; the weather in these same countries; the price and availability of appropriate substitutes; advancements in technologies and the uses and potential uses of niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium, and the demand for the applications for which these commodities may be used; and sentiment or conditions in the countries and sectors in which the Company or its future business/commercial partners will potentially sell their products. Given the complex array of factors which contribute to the prevailing global price of these commodities and that sales are by way of bilateral negotiation without there being a trading exchange for the commodities, it is particularly difficult for the Company to predict with any certainty the prevailing price for these commodities and accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any price or demand forecasts provided by the Company or by external analysts.

Competition

Competition from Australian and international niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium producers, developers and explorers may affect the potential future cash flow and earnings which the Company may realise from its operations. For example, the introduction of new mining and processing facilities and any increase in competition and supply in the global niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium market could lower the price of these commodities. Niobium is a specialist mineral with the world

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 50

supply currently being largely controlled by private Brazilian companies. This is a risk the Company’s attempt to enter the market for the sale of niobium could trigger a price war.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company’s operating and capital expenditures for the Kanyika Project is typically incurred in currencies other than Australian dollars (including Malawian Kwacha, Namibian dollars, South African Rands and United States Dollars) and any future revenues from the sale of niobium, tantalum and deleterious uranium are also likely to be in currencies other than Australian dollars. Certain of the currencies listed above may be volatile and subject to higher currency fluctuations. Any fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the Australian dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and operating results.

In addition to the extent the Company’s revenue is in Malawi or the Company is required by law to repatriate its sales revenue into Malawian Kwacha there is no certainty about its ability to convert those Malawian Kwacha into another currency in a timely manner or at an exchange rate which will not adversely impact the Company’s revenue.

Environmental liabilities risk

The Company’s activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Climate change

The physical and non-physical impacts of climate change may affect the Company’s assets and the communities in which it operates. Risks related to the physical impacts of climate change include acute risks resulting from increased severity of extreme weather events and chronic risks resulting from longer-term changes in climate patterns.

Non-physical risks arise from a variety of policy, regulatory, legal, technology, financial and market responses to the challenges posed by climate change and the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Any changes to government regulation or policy relating to climate change, including relating to greenhouse gas emissions or energy intensive assets, may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s costs and operational efficiency.

Insurance coverage risk

Exploration and development operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins, ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes, changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and development is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the industry on acceptable terms.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 51

Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Reputational risk

The Company’s operations are dependent on positive relationships with a small number of organisations (including the government of Malawi). Damage to the Company’s reputation in Malawi due to the actual or perceived occurrence of certain events could negatively impact the Company.

Reputation loss could lead to increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations, decreased investor confidence, and the impediment of the Company’s overall ability to ability to advance the Kanyika Project, thereby having a material adverse impact on financial performance.

Malawi and Namibia legal system

The legal systems operating in Malawi and to a far lesser extent, Namibia may be less developed than in more established countries, which may result in risk such as political difficulties in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute; a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental agencies; the lack of political or administrative guidance on implementing applicable rules and regulations including, in particular, as regards local taxation and property rights; inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters.

The commitment by local businesspeople, government officials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be more uncertain, creating particular concerns with respect to licences and agreements for business. These may be susceptible to revision or cancellation and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. There can be no assurance that joint ventures, licences, licence applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of the government authorities or others and the effectiveness and enforcement of such arrangements cannot be assured.

Any future material adverse changes in government policies or legislation in Malawi or Namibia that affect foreign ownership, mineral exploration, development or mining activities, may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.

Commodities superseded by new technology or changes in business practice

The Company’s business is based largely on the future sale of niobium and tantalum. Niobium is predominantly used in the manufacture of steels and as a technology to advance battery charging and tantalum in various chemical, medical and steel applications. There is a risk that new technology could render niobium and tantalum redundant and the demand for niobium or tantalum could decline or be displaced.

Protection and ownership of intellectual property

The Company’s financial performance may depend on its ability to safeguard and commercially exploit its intellectual property. The Company relies on patents to protect its proprietary intellectual property. A substantial part of the Company’s commercial success will depend on its ability to maintain, establish and protect its intellectual property and operation without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties.

Concentration of shareholding and limited liquidity

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company’s major shareholders, Apollo, Ao-Zhong and Triple Talent hold approximately 77% of the Company’s issued share capital. As such, these shareholders may be in a position to exert significant influence over matters relating to the Company, including the

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 52

election of directors; the appointment of new management; and resolutions submitted for a vote to Shareholders. There is a risk that the interests of these major shareholders may be different from the interests of Shareholders and potential investors in the Company. In addition, there is limited liquidity in the issued share capital of the Company and there is a risk that Shareholders and potential investors in the Company may not be able to realise their investment in the Company. The limited liquidity also means that small movements in the volume of Shares traded can significantly impact the Share price. If the Company suspects any market manipulation in the trading of its Shares, it will undertake the appropriate investigations.

Regulatory intervention risk

Given the large holdings of the Company’s major shareholders, Apollo, Ao-Zhong and Triple Talent, and their participation in the Offers, there is a risk that an application may be made by a regulatory body or another third party to the Takeovers Panel that a declaration be made that circumstances in relation to the affairs of the Company are unacceptable circumstances under Pt 6.10 of the Corporations Act. Whilst the Company has taken steps to mitigate the control impact of the Offers and the control impact of the Offers has been disclosed in this Prospectus, this may not prevent an application for such a declaration being made in relation to the affairs of the Company.

No market sector diversification

The Company’s business is entirely exposed to the mining sector and specifically to the performance of the Kanyika Project. The Company’s operations and profitability may be adversely affected if the Kanyika Project does not perform as planned or expected.

Dividend and distribution risk

As an early-stage exploration company, the Company has no source of revenue or profits and makes no forecast of whether it will generate revenue or profits in future, Accordingly, the Directors do not expect to or intend to pay or declare dividends or other distributions. Accordingly, any investment in the Shares may not carry with it income returns in the form of dividends or other distributions and any returns will be limited to any capital growth arising from any increase in the price of the Shares.

4.3 General Risks

ASX quotation

If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), the Company will not allot New Shares and will repay all application monies for the New Shares within the time period prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

Potential for dilution to existing Shareholders

If an Eligible Shareholder only takes up part of their Entitlement, or does not accept their Entitlement, their Entitlement will lapse and their ownership in the Company will be diluted. Further, any Entitlements not taken up will form the Top Up Facility and Shortfall. Any Eligible Shareholders who take up Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility or new investors introduced by the Lead Manager under the Shortfall Offer will further dilute the existing Shareholders’ ownership in the Company.

Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s potential future development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities and to receive future dividends.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 53

Further, security market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Security market conditions are affected by many factors such as general economic outlook; interest rates and inflation rates; currency fluctuations; changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; the demand for, and supply of, capital; and terrorism or other hostilities.

Unforeseen expenses

The Company may be subject to significant unforeseen expenses or actions. This may include unplanned construction, design and operating expenses, future legal actions, or expenses in relation to future unforeseen events.

Securities market risk

The market price of the Company’s Shares could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Company’s Shares may fluctuate based on a number of factors including the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies; the public’s reaction to the Company’s press releases; other public announcements and the Company’s filings with the various securities regulatory authorities; changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector; changes in general economic conditions; the number of the Company’s Shares publicly traded; and the arrival or departure of key personnel, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Company’s Shares are affected by many variables not directly related to the Company’s success and are therefore not within the Company’s control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s Shares, and the attractiveness of alternative investments.

Litigation risk

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or its activities.

Taxation risk

The Company’s taxes are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its control, including the application and interpretation of the relevant tax laws and treaties. If the Company’s filing position, application of tax incentives or similar benefits were to be challenged for any reason, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is subject to routine tax audits by various tax authorities. Tax audits may result in additional tax, interest payments and penalties which would negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Any additions or changes to laws and regulations or their interpretation by the courts or the tax authorities may also have a substantial negative impact on the Company’s business.

Mining tax regimes in foreign jurisdictions are subject to differing interpretations and constant change. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to its transactions and activities may not coincide with that of the tax authorities. As a result, transactions may be challenged by tax authorities and the Company’s operations may be assessed, which could result in significant additional taxes,

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 54

penalties and interest. In addition, proposed changes to mining tax regimes in foreign jurisdictions could result in significant additional taxes payable by the Company, which would have a negative impact on the financial results of the Company.

The assessment of the Company’s tax residency is an ongoing test. There is a risk that in the future the Company and/or a subsidiary member of group could be considered a tax resident outside of their country of incorporation, resulting in potential adverse taxing events (for example, deemed disposal of assets or forfeiture of tax losses), which may have a material adverse effect on the financial performance and operations of the Company and/or subsidiary members.

A rent resource tax of 15% after tax profit is currently legislated in the taxation act in Malawi. However, in practice it is not currently being applied to mining projects in Malawi and it is uncertain if it would apply to the Company’s projects in Malawi in the future. If it were to be applied, this could have a material effect on the economics of the Company’s projects in the future.

Highly speculative nature of 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 Shares.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

5 Additional Information

5.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and is subject to the regime of continuous disclosure and periodic reporting requirements. Specifically, as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.

The Board has adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have a material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non-compliance.

5.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus

As a “disclosing entity”, the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure ( ED ) securities and the securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the three months before the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms, a transaction specific prospectus is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of ASX as applicable to disclosing entities from time to time, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

5.3 Information available to Shareholders

The ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information about all listed companies. The Company’s file is available for inspection at ASX in Perth during normal working hours. In addition, copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, any regional office of ASIC.

5.5 Corporate Governance

To the extent that they are applicable to the Company, the Board has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has disclosed the reasons for the departure in its Corporate Governance Statement for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. This can be found in the Company’s Appendix 4G dated 25 November 2022.

A summary of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website at www.globemm.com.

5.6 Arrangements with Directors and related parties generally

  • (a) The Company’s policy in respect of related party arrangements is:

  • (i) a Director with a material personal interest in a matter is required to give notice to the other Directors before such a matter is considered by the Board; and

  • (ii) for the Board to consider such a matter, the Director who has a material personal interest is not present while the matter is being considered at the meeting and does not vote on the matter.

  • (b) The Board has also adopted a conflict protocol to govern any actual or perceived conflicts that may arise between the duties and obligations which Mr Bo Tan owes to the Company in his capacity as a Director and his personal interest as a Shareholder via Triple Talent.

  • (c) The Company does not intend to issue any securities to Directors or other related parties at this time, other than up to the extent of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and to Triple Talent under the Directors’ Subscription. If Directors or related parties apply for Additional New Shares pursuant to the Directors’ Subscription under the Top Up Facility or Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer, the Company will obtain Shareholder approval at a general meeting expected to be held on or around 25 October 2023.

5.7 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares in the Company.

Full details of the rights attaching to the Company’s Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

The following is a summary of the principal rights and liabilities which attach to the Company’s Shares.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 60

(a) Voting

Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every fully paid Share held by him or her, and a fraction of a vote for every partly paid Share. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid is of the total amounts paid and payable.

A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of the meeting, by not less than five Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting, or by any one or more Shareholders present who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution at the meeting.

(b) Dividends

Dividends are payable out of the Company’s profits and are declared by the Directors.

(c) Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.

The Directors of the Company may decline to register any transfer of Shares, (other than a market transfer) where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules (formerly the ASTC Settlement Rules and SCH Business Rules). The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the registration of a proper market transfer in a manner which is contrary to the provisions of any of the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(d) Meetings and Notice

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act, or the Listing Rules.

(e) Liquidation Rights

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as it considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

(f) Shareholder Liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(g) Alteration to the Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. At least 28 days’ written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Globe Metals & Mining Limited – Prospectus

page | 61

(h) ASX Listing Rules

If the Company is admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in the Constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the Constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the Constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the Constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

(c) Directors’ interests

As set out in sections 1.3 and 3 of this Prospectus, the Company is proposing to use funds raised from the Offers to repay an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in director loans provided by the Company’s Director Bo Tan, a related party of Triple Talent, who has provided multiple loans to support the Company. As set out in section 3, the Company has entered into a deed of assignment and variation with Mr Bo Tan to assign the various director loans to Triple Talent with effect from the date the Lead Manager receives a duly completed and executed application for the Triple Commitment securities and extend the due date for repayment of the first of the director loans to 4 November 2023. The deed of assignment and variation otherwise contains additional terms and conditions that are considered standard for a deed of this nature. This will enable the Company to set off the Triple Commitment against the outstanding amounts owed to Mr Bo Tan.

The Company notes that at the time of entering into the second and third director loans with Mr Bo Tan, it was proposed that the outstanding amount repayable under the first loan would be repaid with cash from the proceeds of, or set off against Mr Bo Tan’s participation in, a yet to be finalised equity raising (being the Offers), and the Company would not convert the outstanding amount into equity (pursuant to the terms of the first director loan), and on that basis, Mr Bo Tan continued to support the Company on arm’s length (or worse for Mr Bo Tan) terms under the subsequent director loans.

Except as noted above and disclosed in this Prospectus, no Director (whether individually or in consequence of a Director’s association with any company or firm or in any material contract entered into by the Company) has now, or has had, in the two year period ending on the date of this Prospectus, any interest in:

The Company has paid insurance premiums to insure each of the Directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings while acting in the capacity of a Director.
