EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF CONSIDERATION SHARES

1.1 Overview

As announced on 1 April 2025, and the retraction and updated announcement dated 2 April 2025, the Company has entered into a binding agreement with Namex Pty Ltd (ACN 652 538 488) ( Namex ), and its shareholder, Coniston Pty Ltd (ACN 008 943 093) (Vendor) under which the Company has agreed to acquire 80% of the issued capital of Namex from the Vendor ( Acquisition ).

Namex is an Australian company that is the 100% owner of Namibian company Metalex Mining and Exploration Pty Ltd (Metalex). Metalex is the owner of four Exclusive Prospecting Licenses (EPLs) in the Otavi Mountain Land of Namibia which includes the:

  • Border zinc, lead and silver project.

  • Driehook advanced zinc, lead and silver prospects.

  • Kaskara vanadium, copper, lead, zinc and germanium project.

  • Other multiple target areas for copper, lead, zinc and silver deposits with gallium, germanium antimony potential.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.2 Sale Agreement

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the agreement entered into between the Company, Namex and the Vendor ( Sale Agreement ) is set out below.

Consideration In consideration for the Acquisition, the Company agrees to issue to the
Vendor (or its nominee/s):
(a) 23,103,352 Shares on settlement of the Sale Agreement (Consideration
Shares);
(b) $250,000 as a cash payment.
Milestone Shares The Company is also proposing to issue up to a maximum of 48.6 million
Tranche 2 milestone shares to the Vendor in up to three additional tranches
comprising Tranche 2A shares, Tranche 2B shares and Tranche 2C shares. Each
of the Tranche 2A, Tranche 2B and Tranche 2C shares are payable to the
Vendor subject to the achievement of specific milestones (“Milestones”), and
each tranche, separately, is subject to receipt of Shareholder approval at a
general meeting to be held within 3 months of an announcement to the ASX
that the particular Milestone has been achieved.
Shareholder
Approval
If Shareholder approval is not obtained within 3 months of an announcement
to the ASX that the particular Milestone has been achieved, the Company will
pay the Vendor the respective cash value of the Tranche 2A or Tranche 2B or
Tranche 2C shares based on a 10-day volume weighted average price of GED
fully paid shares traded on the ASX immediately prior to the approval
deadline.

  • Tranche 2A The Tranche 2A Shares of 6.6 million GED fully paid shares will be issued to the Shares Vendor upon the Company announcing to the ASX a channel sampled intersection of the first of either: i) Copper Equivalent (Cue)% x length (m) intersection of a total of at least 10 (CuEq% x m), at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 1% CuEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum intersection width of 3m ( Milestone 1A ); or

  • ii) Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq)% x metre (m) intersection of a total of at least 20 (ZnEq% x m), at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 2% ZnEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum intersection width of 3m ( Milestone 1B ).

  • Tranche 2B The Tranche 2B Shares of 12 million GED fully paid shares will be issued to the Shares Vendor upon the Company announcing to the ASX a RC or diamond drilling intersection of the first of either: i) Copper Equivalent (CuEq)% x length (m) intersection of a total of at least 10 (CuEq% x m), at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 1% CuEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum downhole intersection width of 3m ( Milestone 2A ); or

  • ii) Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq)% x metre (m) intersection of a total of at least 20 (ZnEq% x m), at a minimum weighted average assayed grade of 2% ZnEq over the relevant intersection and a minimum downhole intersection width of 3m ( Milestone 2B ):

  • Tranche 2C The Tranche 2C Shares of 30 million GED fully paid shares will be issued to the Shares Vendor upon the Company announcing to the ASX a new JORC compliant Mineral Resource of the first of either: i) At least 20,000 tonnes of Copper Equivalent (CuEq) metal at a minimum grade of 1% CuEq ( Milestone 3A ); or,

  • ii) At least 40,000 tonnes of Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq) metal at a minimum grade of 2% ZnEq ( Milestone 3B ).

  • Metal Equivalent The calculation of metal equivalent (copper equivalent (CuEq) or zinc Formulas equivalent (ZnEq)) will be based on the following formulas: CuEq% = Copper grade % + (Grade of each other recoverable metal% x metal price/t x assumed recovery%) divided by Copper price/t

  • ZnEq% = Zinc grade % + (Grade of each other recoverable metal% x metal price/t x assumed recovery%) divided by Zinc price/t

  • The formula will include: i) The assumed grades of all metals that in the competent person’s opinion have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

  • ii) Market price of the metals used in the calculation, based on market average spot pricing over a defined period, or as used in the estimation of a Mineral Resource metal equivalent by the relevant competent person.

  • iii) Assumed recoveries of metals will be based on metallurgical test work or, if not available, similar oxide or sulphide deposits in the Otavi Mountain Land where recovery information is available.

  • Post Free-Carried The Company will fund all costs incurred in connection with the activities of Period Metalex until such time as a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) is completed on any one of the Metalex tenements and a Decision to Mine is made.

1.3 Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12-month period.

The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.4 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Consideration Shares were issued to Coniston Pty Ltd as trustee of the Coniston Trust, the shareholder of Namex;

  • (b) 23,103,352 Consideration Shares were issued to Coniston Pty Ltd, and the Consideration Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) the Consideration Shares were issued on 7 April 2025;

6

  • (d) the Consideration Shares were issued at a nil issue price as part consideration for the Acquisition. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Consideration Shares was to satisfy certain obligations of the Company under the Sale Agreement; and

  • (f) the Consideration Shares were issued to Coniston Pty Ltd under the Sale Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Sale Agreement is set out in Section 1.2.
