2. BACKGROUND TO THE CAPITAL RAISING
2.1 General
As announced on 29 October 2025, the Company received firm commitments for a private placement to sophisticated and institutional investors unrelated to the Company ( Placement Participants ) to raise up to approximately A$750,000 at A$0.005 per share ( Placement ).
2.2 Placement
The Placement Comprises:
-
(a) 150,000,000 Shares issued to the Placement Participants on 7 November 2025 comprising:
-
(i) 83,900,000 Shares under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 1; and
-
(ii) 66,100,000 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A, which the Company is seeking to ratify under Resolution 2; and
-
(a) 75,000,000 free attaching Options to be issued to the Placement Participants (subject to Resolution 3 on the basis of 1 new Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement. These Options will also be offered under the Prospectus.
The Company will issue 15,250,000 Options to Peak Asset Management Pty Ltd ( Peak ) or its nominee and 22,250,000 Options to Adelaide Equity Partners Limited ( AE Advisors ) or its nominee (subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolution 6 and Resolution 7 ) pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate (as defined below).
2.3 Use of funds
The purpose of the Placement is to raise up to A$750,000 (before costs) ( Capital Raising ).
The Capital Raising will allow the Company to commence work programs at its Warro Project and for working capital requirements.
2.4 Joint Lead Managers
On or about October 2025 the Company entered into a mandate with the Joint Lead Managers pursuant to which the Joint Lead Managers have been engaged by the Company to provide lead manager services in relation to the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
In accordance with the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to:
-
(a) pay AE Advisors and Peak (or their nominee(s)) a 6% placement fee on the total funds raised under the Placement ( Placement Fee ). 80% of the Placement Fee is to be paid to AE Advisors and the other 20% is to be paid to Peak; and
-
(b) issue to the Joint Lead Manager or their nominees 37,500,000 Options in total, on the same terms as the Options to be issued free attaching to the Placement Shares. Of the 37,500,000 Options being issued to the Joint Lead Managers, 15,250,000 Options are to be issued to Peak and 22,250,000 Options are to be issued to AE Advisors.
Other than as noted above, the Lead Manager Mandate contains terms which are customary for an agreement of this type.
2.5 Corporate advisor
In addition to AE Advisors being engaged by the Company as a Joint Lead Manager, the Company has also executed a mandate to engage AE Advisors to provide investor relations services in relation to the Placement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay AE Advisors a monthly retainer of A$5,000 (plus GST).
7
Mr Mark Lindh is a director of the Company and is a director of AE Advisors. AE Advisors is therefore a related party of the Company.
The Company did not seek approval of the Company’s members at the time of entering into the arrangement with AE Advisors for the Placement Fee or the monthly retainer fee of A$5,000 (plus GST) under the Lead Manager Mandate and the retainer for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the Directors (other than Mark Lindh) do not consider that approval by members is required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act as the Lead Manager Mandate and monthly retainer were negotiated and entered into on arm’s length terms.
3. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
3.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Shares to the Placement Participants.
3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its Annual General Meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained a Listing Rule 7.1A approval at its Annual General Meeting on 29 November 2024 and then again at its most recent Annual General Meeting on 28 November 2025 and therefore its limit on how many equity securities can be issued without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period is 25% of the fully paid ordinary securities on issue.
The issue of the Placement 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
3.3 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 Placement Shares.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 are passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 Shares.
If Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 are not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE DEBT EQUITY SHARES TO BUSINESS INITIATIVES
5.1 General
The Company and Business Initiatives Pty Ltd ( Business Initiatives ) have agreed to a partial debt to equity conversion of $30,000 which was owed by the Company to Business Initiatives ( Business Initiatives Debt Conversion ). It was agreed between the Company and Business Initiatives that to carry out the Business Initiatives Debt Conversion, Business Initiatives would convert the debt owed to Shares on the same terms as the Placement Shares up to the value of the $30,000.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 6,000,000 Shares to Business Initiatives pursuant to the Business Initiatives Debt Conversion.
5.2 Listing Rules 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 3.2 above.
The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Accordingly, the Company will have to honour its obligations under the debt facility agreement with Business Initiatives by repaying the $30,000 in cash which will further deplete the Company’s existing cash reserves.

| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |
The Shares will be issued to Business Initiatives in lieu of cash for previous accounting services provided to the Company between 1 September 2023 until 30 September 2025. The Company confirms that no material persons will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |

| Terms of Securities | The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |

| Price or other consideration the Company received for the Securities |

The Shares will not be issued pursuant to a written agreement and will be issued on the same terms as the Shares issued to the Placement Participants.

The Company has agreed to the invoice being waived rather than receiving $30,000 cash for the Shares. As it has been agreed that the Shares are also being issued on the same terms as the Placement Shares, the Shares will be issued with 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Shares issued. |

The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to Business Initiatives. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Accordingly, the Company will have to honour its obligations under the debt facility agreement with Business Initiatives by repaying the $30,000 in cash to Business Initiatives which will further deplete the Company’s existing cash reserves.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE ADVISORY OPTIONS TO AE ADVISORS
8.1 General
This Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 22,250,000 Options to the AE Advisers under the Lead Manager Mandate, the material terms of which are summarised in section 2.4.
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit to AE Advisors. Mr Mark Lindh is a director of the Company and is a director of and controls AE Advisors. AE Advisors is therefore a related party of the Company.
The Directors (other than Mr Lindh who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options under the Lead Manager Mandate was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options to AE Advisors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). In addition, because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Accordingly, the Company will have to re-negotiate the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate with the Joint Lead Managers. This may involve the Company having to issue further cash consideration which will further deplete the Company’s existing cash reserves.

8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |
The Options will be issued to AE Advisors (or their respective nominee) who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of Mr Lindh being a Director of the Company and controlling AE Advisors. The Company confirms that no material persons will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company. |
| Number and class of Securities issued |
22,250,000 Options will be issued. |
| Terms of Securities | The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities were issued |
The Company expects to issue the Options within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company received for the Securities |
The Options will be issued at a nil issue price in consideration for the services provided by AE Advisors under the Lead Manager Mandate. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is for the Company to fulfill its obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate. The purpose of the issue is not to remunerate or incentivise Mr Lindh. |
| Summary of material terms of agreement to issue |
The Options will be issued pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of this agreement can be found at section 2.4. |
| Voting Exclusion Statement |
A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution. |
9. RESOLUTIONS 8 & 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES
9.1 Background
Mr Tino Guglielmo and Ms Rosalind Archer are current Directors of the Company ( Participating Directors ).
Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 8 and Resolution 9, the Participating Directors wish to redeem unpaid directors fees for the period 1 July 2024 to 31 January 2026 in Shares on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Capital Raising (except without any Options attaching to them) to the following extent (and/or their nominees):
| RESOLUTION | RELATED PARTY | DIRECTOR’S TOTAL REMUNERATION PACKAGE |
DIRECTORS FEES TO BE CONVERTED |
PRICE PER SHARE | NUMBER OF SHARES PROPOSED TO BE ISSUED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Mr Tino Guglielmo (or his nominee) | $50,000 | $37,500 | A$0.005 | 7,500,000 |
| 9 | Ms Rosalind Archer (or her nominee) | $50,000 | $4,167 | A$0.005 | 833,400 |
9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
15
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue will constitute the giving of a financial benefit to related parties as it will result in the issue of additional Shares to related parties of the Company by virtue of Mr Guglielmo and Ms Archer being Directors of the Company.
The Directors (other than Mr Guglielmo and Ms Archer) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 8, and Resolution 9. This is because the financial benefit is being given on terms that are less favourable than the terms provided to unrelated parties under the Placement as the terms of the Share issue are the same but no attaching Options are being given.
9.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Shares to the Participating Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares to the Participating Directors for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
9.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to the Participating Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares in respect of the issue of the Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares to the Participating Directors and the directors fees will remain outstanding and payable from cash reserves.
9.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8 and Resolution 9:
- (a) the Shares will be issued to the Participating Directors who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, and by virtue of Mr Guglielmo and Ms Archer being Directors of the Company;
16
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees) is 8,333,400 Shares. The breakdown of the Shares proposed to be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees) is set out in section 9.1;
-
(c) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms as the Shares issued to the unrelated participants under the Capital Raising (except without any Options attaching to them).;
-
(d) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;
-
(e) the value will be A$0.005 per Share. The Company will not receive any consideration for the issue of the Shares but will convert the outstanding directors fees as a result;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) is to repay outstanding directors fees; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 of the Notice.
-
(h) A vote on Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 must not be cast as a proxy by or on behalf of any of the following persons:
-
(i) a member of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the remuneration report; or
-
(ii) a closely related party of such a member.
However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 8 and Resolution 9 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:
-
(i) the person is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
-
(ii) the person is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
-
1) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
-
2) expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel for the Company.
