3 Background to Resolution 1

3.1 Background

The Company is the sole owner of the Kalkaroo copper-gold-cobalt project in the Curnamona Province of South Australia, more commonly known as the Kalkaroo Project . The Kalkaroo Project contains Mineral Resources of 1.1 million tonnes of copper, 3.1 million ounces of gold and 23,200 tonnes of cobalt. It has an open pit Ore Reserve of 100.1 million tonnes, of which 90% is in the Proved category (as that term is defined in the JORC Code). As such, the Kalkaroo Project is potentially one of the larger undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits in Australia.

In addition to the Kalkaroo Project, the Company also owns 100% of the following mineral projects in the Curnamona Province of north-eastern South Australia:

(a) Mutooroo Project

The Mutooroo Project is the Company's second advanced stage copper-cobalt project that is located within commuting distance of Broken Hill, and 16km south of the Transcontinental railway line and Barrier Highway. It contains 195,000 tonnes of copper, 20,200 tonnes of cobalt and 82,100 ounces of gold in Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources (as those terms are defined in the JORC Code). As such, the Mutooroo Project is potentially one of the larger and higher grade sulphide cobalt deposits associated with copper in Australia. The Mutooroo Project is excluded from the Proposed Transaction.

Further details on the Mutooroo Project are detailed in the Company's Quarterly Activity Report for the period ended 30 April 2022 as released on the ASX market announcements platform on 30 May 2022.

If Resolution 1 is passed and the Proposed Transaction proceeds, the Company proposes to use a portion of the funding received from the Strategic Alliance to advance the pre-feasibility study on the Mutooroo Project, based on current Measured Resources (as that term is defined in the JORC Code), initially from an open cut mine that transitions to a longer-term underground mining operation.

  • (b) Grants Basin, Maldorky and Grants Iron Ore Projects

8

The Company's Maldorky Project is located approximately 90km southwest of Broken Hill, and 26km south of the Barrier Highway and Transcontinental railway line. The Maldorky Project has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 147 million tonnes of 30.1% iron at an 18% iron cut-off. The iron ore resource is contained in a flat tabular deposit with thin overburden, making it potentially well suited to open pit mining operations.

The Grants Iron Ore Project contains 304 million tonnes of 24% iron Inferred Mineral Resource at an 18% iron cut-off. The lack of overburden and geometry of the deposit is favourable for open pit mining operations. The Grants Basin Iron Ore Project is located approximately 80 km west-southwest of Broken Hill, and 8-10 km south of the Barrier Highway and the Transcontinental railway line. The Company intends to carry out resource delineation drilling to convert a portion of the western end Exploration Target to a maiden Mineral Resource, initially targeting at least 0.5 billion tonnes of iron ore (note that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource).

The Grants Basin, Maldorky and Grants Iron Ore Projects are excluded from the Proposed Transaction. Further current details on the Grant Basin, Maldorky and Grants Iron Ore Projects are detailed in the Company's Quarterly Activity Report for the period ended 30 April 2022 as released on the ASX market announcements platform on 30 May 2022,

(together, the Other Projects ).

* Refer to page 17 of the Annual Report 2021, released on the ASX market announcements platform on 26 October 2021, noting that in each case the relevant information relating to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves remains current as at the date of the Notice.

For further information on the Kalkaroo Project and the Other Projects, please refer to the Company's website (https://www.havilah-resources-projects.com/) and announcements on the ASX market announcements platform.

3.2 Proposed Transaction

On 17 May 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional binding terms sheet ( Terms Sheet ) with OZ Minerals Limited ( OZ Minerals ) and, its wholly owned subsidiary, OZ Exploration Pty Ltd ( OZ Exploration ). Under the Terms Sheet, it is proposed that:

  • (a) the Company will grant OZ Exploration an option to acquire the Kalkaroo Project ( Kalkaroo Option );

  • (b) the Company will grant OZ Exploration access to the Company's Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease; and

  • (c) a strategic alliance will be formed between the Company and OZ Exploration for the purpose of conducting further exploration for copper in the Curnamona Province of north-eastern South Australia ( Strategic Alliance ),

(together, the Proposed Transaction ).

The Company has entered into full form Transaction Documents to give effect to the Proposed Transaction, which are subject to and conditional on the Terms Sheet Conditions being satisfied or waived. Refer to Section 3.6 for further details on the Terms Sheet Conditions.

A copy of the Terms Sheet was released on the ASX market announcements platform on 17 May 2022.

9

3.3 Kalkaroo Option

As part of the Proposed Transaction, the Company will grant OZ Exploration, subject to Shareholder approval sought under the Notice, an option to acquire the Kalkaroo Project for nominal consideration.

OZ Exploration may exercise the Kalkaroo Option within the 18 month period commencing from the date all of the Terms Sheet Conditions are satisfied, unless extended as agreed between OZ Exploration and the Company in accordance with the Strategic Alliance Agreement or due to a force majeure or delay event (up to a maximum of 30 months from the date all of the Terms Sheet Conditions are satisfied) ( Kalkaroo Option Period ). OZ Exploration may elect to withdraw from the Kalkaroo Option at any time during the Kalkaroo Option Period

During the Kalkaroo Option Period, OZ Exploration will have exclusive possession and use of the Kalkaroo Tenements.

During the Kalkaroo Option Period, OZ Exploration must undertake and sole fund a study and work program with the aim of progressing and completing an update to the current Kalkaroo Project pre-feasibility study. As part of the study and work program, OZ Exploration will undertake a minimum 5,000 metres of drilling on the Kalkaroo Tenements. The results of the study and work program will assist OZ Exploration in determining whether or not to exercise the Kalkaroo Option.

If OZ Exploration exercises the Kalkaroo Option within the Kalkaroo Option Period, the Company and OZ Exploration will enter into an asset sale agreement for the sale of the Kalkaroo Assets to OZ Exploration in consideration for an upfront cash payment of $205,000,000 ( Completion Payment ), and contingent consideration up to a maximum of $200,000,000 subject to the satisfaction of the relevant milestones.

The material terms of the Call Option Agreement and Asset Sale Agreement are detailed in Schedule 3.

3.4 Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease

It is noted that the Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease is excluded from the Kalkaroo Assets and so is not the subject of the Kalkaroo Option. However, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Kalkaroo Pastoral Company Pty Limited ( Kalkaroo Pastoral Company ), has separately granted OZ Exploration the right to access the Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease for the purposes of undertaking the study program and exploration activities, subject to the exercise of the Kalkaroo Option and Completion occurring.

In consideration for the access rights, OZ Exploration will pay the Company an annual payment that is paid quarterly in advance, equal to two times the annual Kalkaroo Tenements rent, capped at $500 per day on the basis of 365 day year indexed by the Consumer Price Index ( Access Fee ).

OZ Exploration has a right of first refusal to purchase the Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease if the Kalkaroo Pastoral Company decides to dispose of it (other than a disposal to a Related Body Corporate). This right of first refusal will cease if Completion does not occur, if OZ Exploration withdraws from the Kalkaroo Option or where the Kalkaroo Option is not exercised during the Kalkaroo Option Period.

The material terms of the Access and Compensation Agreement are detailed in Schedule 3.

3.5

Strategic Alliance

With effect from the date the Terms Sheet Conditions are satisfied, OZ Exploration and the Company will form the Strategic Alliance for the purposes of conducting further exploration activities in the Curnamona Province of northeastern South Australia.

10

During the Alliance Period, the Company will be the initial manager of the Strategic Alliance for the purposes of conducting activities aimed at the discovery, location and delineation of copper dominant mineralisation on tenements within the AOI and any work relating to the possible development and exploitation of minerals within the AOI ( Alliance Activities ).

OZ Exploration will pay the Company $1,000,000 per month for each month during the Alliance Period up to a maximum of $18,000,000 ( Upfront Investment ) of which 50% must be used for costs and expenses incurred in relation to the Alliance Activities. The Upfront Investment must be repaid at the end of the Alliance Period unless such funds have already been committed to work programs or other expenses that have been approved by the stakeholder team which cannot be discontinued or suspended, or if the Company and OZ Exploration agree to extend the Alliance Period.

Where the Company makes a discovery within the AOI of copper dominant mineralisation (as measured by reference to the value of copper in the mineralisation) or other associated mineralisation that OZ Exploration considers it could process in its proposed (or upgraded) Kalkaroo Project processing plant ( AOI Discovery ), OZ Exploration may notify the Company that the AOI Discovery is a discovery of interest ( DOI ) and shall provide the Company with a proposed work program in relation to the DOI, which shall be sole funded by OZ Exploration. OZ Exploration is limited to three DOIs at any given time.

If OZ Exploration defines an initial Mineral Resource pursuant to a DOI work program in relation to the particular DOI, then a joint venture will be formed, between OZ Exploration and the Company, under which the initial joint venture interests of the participants will be:

  • (a) 70% - OZ Exploration; and

  • (b) 30% - the Company.

OZ Exploration will sole fund all joint venture expenditure until a final investment decision to proceed with a commercial mining operation is made by the joint venture operating committee, and OZ Exploration shall be the initial manager of the joint venture.

The Company will also grant OZ Exploration a right of first refusal to purchase the Company's interest in an AOI Discovery in the event that the Company intends to dispose of its interest in an AOI Discovery, subject to the Call Option having been exercised.

The material terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement are detailed in Schedule 3.

3.6 Terms Sheet Conditions

The Proposed Transaction is subject to:

  • (a) the Company obtaining a report from a suitably qualified independent expert opining that the Kalkaroo Transaction is in the best interests of Shareholders;

  • (b) the Company obtaining the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 11.2 for the Kalkaroo Transaction;

  • (c) any of the Directors failing to make, changing, qualifying, or withdrawing their recommendation or voting intention to approve the Kalkaroo Transaction in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert opining that the Kalkaroo Transaction is in the best interests of Shareholders; and

  • (d) the parties entering into the full form Transaction Documents,

(together, the Terms Sheet Conditions ).

For further information on the Independent Expert's Report refer to Section 3.8.

For further information on the Directors' Recommendation refer to Section 3.11.

11

The Company and OZ Exploration have entered into full form Transaction Documents as contemplated by the Terms Sheet. A summary of each of the Transaction Documents is detailed in Schedule 3.

3.7 Break fee

The Company must pay OZ Minerals a break fee of $1 million where the Proposed Transaction does not proceed due to a Competing Proposal, or $2 million where OZ Minerals terminates the Terms Sheet for breach or as a result of a change in recommendation or voting intention from a Director (where there is no Competing Proposal) or as a result of the Independent Expert changing or withdrawing its opinion due to an act or omission by the Company or any of its Directors (without regard to any Competing Proposal).

3.8 Independent Expert

BDO Corporate Finance (SA) Pty Ltd was appointed as the independent expert ( Independent Expert ) for the purposes of preparing a report opining on whether the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, Shareholders.

The Independent Expert has concluded that the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, Shareholders in the absence of a superior offer.

In forming this opinion, the Independent Expert has assessed:

  • (a) the incremental increase in value of a Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project, compared to the incremental increase in value of a Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option;

  • (b) the likelihood of an alternative offer being made to the Company;

  • (c) other factors which the Independent Expert considered to be relevant to Shareholders in their assessment of the Kalkaroo Transaction; and

  • (d) the position of Shareholders in the event the Kalkaroo Transaction is not approved.

A copy of the Independent Expert's Report is contained in Schedule 4.

3.9 Rationale

Having undertaken a strategic review of its operations, the Company has resolved to dispose of the Kalkaroo Project based on the following considerations:

  • (a) ( Shareholder return ) the Proposed Transaction provides a fair return for Shareholders without the Company taking on the longer-term development and financing risks inherent in mining projects;

  • (b) ( Price certainty ) the fixed component of the Proposed Transaction consideration (in other words the Completion Payment) provides Shareholders with price certainty, with the deferred contingent consideration rewarding the Company for future value enhancing milestones;

  • (c) ( Advancing exploration ) the Proposed Transaction accelerates exploration for new copper deposits in the region that could be complementary to the Kalkaroo Project, while advancing other promising mineral projects south of the Barrier Highway;

  • (d) ( Certainty ) given the current economic and regulatory climate, there is no certainty that the Company could raise the additional capital required to fund the expenditure required for the Kalkaroo Project;

  • (e) ( Other projects ) the Proposed Transaction allows the Company to release any additional working capital and refocus on its Other Projects;

12

  • (f) ( No dilution ) the Proposed Transaction funding will allow the Company to meaningfully advance its exploration and Other Projects without the need for further dilutive capital raisings; and

  • (g) ( Strategic Alliance ) the opportunity to develop a strategic partnership with OZ Exploration with the aim of developing the copper potential of the Curnamona Province.

With the above considerations in mind, the Board has resolved to instead focus on its Other Projects and other exploration opportunities on its Curnamona Province tenements in South Australia.

3.10 Advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction

The Board believes that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages together with the rationale points above may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Kalkaroo Transaction produces a significantly better financial outcome and lower risk alternative for Shareholders as compared to the Company developing the Kalkaroo deposit itself as determined by the Independent Expert (refer to Schedule 4 for the Independent Expert’s Report);

  • (b) proceeds from the Proposed Transaction will enable the Company to focus on its Other Projects and on its extensive exploration interests, which the Board believes have the potential to add significant future value for Shareholders;

  • (c) the Company will be well funded, avoiding dilutionary capital raisings in a currently challenging traditional capital market for junior resource stocks;

  • (d) the payments of the contingent consideration (up to $200 million) provide the Company with exposure to future Kalkaroo Project upside in the event of resource upgrades and/or copper prices above US$10,000 per tonne;

  • (e) monetisation of the Kalkaroo Project gives the Board the option to make a share buyback, a return of capital, or pay a special dividend to Shareholders consistent with its stated objectives;

  • (f) the Strategic Alliance is a potential catalyst for development of a major new copper mining region on the Company's extensive tenement holdings in the Curnamona Province; and

  • (g) there are no proposed changes to the Board and/or senior management of the Company as part of, or in connection with, the Proposed Transaction, thus preserving the collective experience and intellectual knowledge within the Company for the ongoing benefit of Shareholders.

The Board believes that a potential disadvantage that may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on Resolution 1 is that the Proposed Transaction involves the Company disposing of its Kalkaroo Project, its main undertaking and one of Australia's larger undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits, which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders

3.11 Directors' recommendation and voting intention

The Board considers that the Proposed Transaction, including the Kalkaroo Transaction, is in the best interest of Shareholders, and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to opine that the Kalkaroo Transaction is in the best interests of Shareholders.

2 Basis of preparation

The pro forma financial information set out above comprises the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 January 2022 of the Company, including the impact of the Kalkaroo Transaction should it be approved by Shareholders and the Kalkaroo Option was hypothetically exercised by OZ Exploration as at 31 January 2022.

The pro forma financial information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards to be included in annual financial statements or interim financial statements.

The values used for the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position are outlined in the notes below. These values are subject to change once actual income tax calculations are performed, as at the completion date, and an income tax return subsequently lodged.

3 Notes

If OZ Exploration exercises the Kalkaroo Option, the Company and OZ Exploration will enter into an asset sale agreement for the sale of the Kalkaroo Project to OZ Exploration in consideration for an upfront cash payment of $205,000,000. If the Kalkaroo Option is exercised, the Company will receive the Completion Payment on the transfer of the Kalkaroo Project to OZ Exploration,

  • (i) $205,000,000 cash received for the Completion Payment on Completion, will be an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

  • (ii) The Kalkaroo Project comprises $18,920,000 of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure as at 31 January 2022. The carrying value of the Kalkaroo Project has been deducted in the proforma as, when the Kalkaroo Option is exercised, the Kalkaroo Project is disposed of.

  • (iii) Taxation has been applied on the Completion Payment at the notional rate of 30%, which represents the estimated tax rate for the Kalkaroo Transaction. The Company's Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 July 2021 disclosed income tax losses of $74,685,419 and the impact of these income tax losses has been used to offset estimated tax payable. For the Kalkaroo Transaction, a provision for income tax of $39,094,734 has been estimated.

  • (iv) The Company's Interim Financial Report for the financial-half year ended 31 January 2022 was released on the ASX market announcements platform on 11 April 2022. It included the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 January 2022.

  • (d) ( Extension of Alliance Period) The Company and OZ Exploration may, at any time prior to the end of the Alliance Period, agree to extend the Alliance Period to allow any unused Upfront Investment to be directed towards incomplete or new Alliance Activities as approved by the Stakeholder Team, provided the Alliance Period may only be extended by a maximum of three months.

  • (e) ( Alliance Manager ) The Company will be the initial manager for the Alliance Activities during the Alliance Period ( Alliance Manager ). The Alliance Manager may be removed in certain circumstances including, but not limited to, by unanimous resolution of the Stakeholder Team or where the Alliance Manager commits fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

  • (g) ( Stakeholder Team ) On and from the Effective Date, the Company and OZ Exploration will establish and maintain a stakeholder team ( Stakeholder Team ) to oversee (amongst other things):

  • (i) and direct the activities of the Alliance Manager in the implementation of Alliance Activities and the approval of any variations to the Alliance Activities Program;

OZ Exploration may not select more than three DOIs at any given time and may give notice to the Company, any time during the Alliance Period, that a previously identified DOI is no longer to be classified as a DOI.

  • (j) ( DOI Work Program ) If OZ Exploration makes a notification under item (i), OZ Exploration must provide the Company with a proposed work program in relation to the DOI, which must be approved by the Stakeholder Team. If approved, OZ Exploration must use reasonable efforts to complete the DOI work program within the period of time set out in the work program, sole fund the work program and progressively report and provide copies to the Company of the results of the work program activities.

  • (k) ( Joint Venture ) Subject to any shareholder approval required by the Company, OZ Exploration or OZ Minerals being obtained, if OZ Exploration defines an initial JORC Mineral Resource pursuant to a DOI work program in relation to a particular DOI then:

  • (i) OZ Exploration must notify the Company in writing of that fact; and

  • (ii) a joint venture will form between OZ Exploration and the Company (or its Related Body Corporate that holds the joint venture tenements) under which the initial joint venture interests of the participants will be:

  • (iii) the Company and OZ Exploration must execute all documents and forms necessary to transfer a 70% interest in the joint venture tenements (free from all encumbrances) to OZ Exploration.

At any time during the period that OZ Exploration carries out a DOI work program with respect to a particular DOI, OZ Exploration may request that the parties negotiate the form of the joint venture agreement in respect of that DOI. Promptly after receipt of such request from OZ Exploration, the parties will negotiate in good faith the form of the joint venture agreement based on the key terms annexed to the Strategic Alliance Agreement.

29

  • (iv) each of the joint venture participants will have the right and privilege of receiving in kind and separately disposing of mineral product (but excluding untreated ores) in the same percentage as their respective participating interests in the joint venture from time to time;

  • (v) the rights and liabilities of the joint venture participants are several in proportion to their respective interests in the joint venture from time to time and shall not be either joint or joint and several;

  • (vi) OZ Exploration will be the initial manager of the joint venture and will be entitled to remain the manager for so long as it has a joint venture interest of at least 50% unless removed for wilful misconduct;

  • (vii) a joint venture operating committee will be established with each joint venture participant being entitled to appoint two representatives as members of the joint venture operating committee;

If the Company has not given notice to OZ Exploration that it has successfully raised the required funding, the Company will be deemed to have voted against the decision to commence mining operations and OZ Exploration will have the option to buy the whole of the Company's joint venture interest; and

  • (ix) each joint venture participant will have rights of pre-emption in relation to each other participant’s joint venture interest provided that either participant may assign its joint venture interest to a Related Body Corporate without triggering the pre-emptive right.

The key terms otherwise reflect terms which are customary to a joint venture of this nature.

  • (m) ( Preferred Marketing Agent ) The Company agrees to appoint OZ Exploration (or its nominee) as its preferred marketing agent for the Company's joint venture share of any mineral product (including concentrate or other product but excluding untreated ores) ( HAV Mineral Product Share ) in all markets on arm's length commercial terms and conditions. If the Company is not satisfied (acting reasonably) with any offer to purchase their HAV Mineral Product Share organised by OZ Exploration, the Company will be entitled to market their HAV Mineral Product Share. If the Company receives an offer to purchase their HAV Mineral Product Share as a result of their marketing ( Offer ), the Company must give OZ Exploration the option to purchase the HAV Mineral Product Share on the same terms and conditions of the Offer.

  • (n) ( Right of Last Refusal ) If OZ Exploration provides notice that a DOI is no longer a DOI or fails to define a JORC Mineral Resource within the time period set out in the DOI work program, OZ Exploration will have a right of last refusal in relation to the sale and processing of copper ore obtained from the DOI, subject to Completion having occurred.

  • (p) ( Warranties ) The Strategic Alliance Agreement contains warranties and limitations that are customary for an agreement of this nature.

30

  • (q) ( Termination ) The Strategic Alliance Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement between OZ Exploration and the Company or automatically if the Call Option Agreement terminates because notice has been given that OZ Exploration does not intend to exercise the Kalkaroo Option. The Strategic Alliance Agreement may be terminated by:

  • (i) the Company if OZ Exploration:

    • (A) or OZ Minerals suffers an insolvency event; or

    • (B) commits a material breach of the Strategic Alliance Agreement and:

      • (I) fails to remedy the breach within 10 business days after being given notice by the Company to do so; or

      • (II) such breach is not capable of being remedied; or

    • (C) a warranty given by the Company was not true and correct in all material respects at the time it was made and:

      • (I) the Company fails to remedy the breach within 10 business days after being given notice by OZ Exploration to do so; or

      • (II) such warranty is not capable of being remedied; or

    • (D) OZ Exploration considers, acting reasonably, that access to the relevant parts of any AOI Tenement for the purpose of conducting Alliance Activities is being delayed, prevented or otherwise frustrated, including as a result of:

      • (I) the acts or omissions of the relevant landowners in respect of the relevant parts of any AOI Tenement (including where access arrangements cannot be determined with the landowner); or

      • (II) the inability to obtain native title and other clearance surveys on the relevant parts of any AOI Tenement.

The Directors Havilah Resources Limited 107 Rundle Street KENT TOWN SA 5067

19 July 2022

Dear Directors

INDEPENDENT EXPERT’S REPORT

1. Introduction

On 17 May 2022, Havilah Resources Limited (‘ Havilah ’ or the ‘ Company ’) announced that it had entered into a conditional binding agreement with OZ Minerals Limited ( ‘OZL’ ) and OZ Exploration Pty Ltd (‘ OZE ’) in relation to a proposed transaction (‘ Terms Sheet ’). As per the condition in the Terms Sheet, the parties are entering into additional transaction documents which are intended to replace the relevant provisions of the Terms Sheet (‘ Additional Documents ’).

Part of the proposed transaction specified in the Terms Sheet is the grant of an option ( ‘Kalkaroo Option’ ) to purchase the Kalkaroo copper-gold-cobalt project ( ‘Kalkaroo Project’ ) to OZE (‘ Kalkaroo Transaction’)..

2. Summary and Opinion

2.1 Requirement for the report

The directors of Havilah have requested that BDO Corporate Finance (SA) Pty Ltd (‘ BDO ’) prepare an independent expert’s report (‘ Report ’ or ‘ IER’ ) to express an opinion as to whether or not the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, shareholders of Havilah ( ‘Shareholders’ ), in satisfaction of one of the conditions precedent in the Terms Sheet.

Our Report is prepared at the request of the Directors of Havilah in connection with Shareholder approval that is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 and is to be included in the Notice of Meeting ( ‘NoM’ ) for Havilah in order to assist the Shareholders in their decision whether to approve the Kalkaroo Transaction.

2.2 Approach

There is no statutory requirement for the Directors of Havilah (‘ Directors ’) to commission an IER in relation to the Kalkaroo Transaction. However, as a matter of good governance, Shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 and the Directors of Havilah have requested that BDO prepare an IER stating whether, in BDO’s opinion, the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, Shareholders and the reasons for that opinion.

Our Report has been prepared having regard to Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ ASIC ’) Regulatory Guide 111 ‘Content of Expert’s Reports’ (‘ RG 111 ’) and Regulatory Guide 112 ‘Independence of Experts’ (‘ RG 112 ’).

BDO Corporate Finance (SA) Pty Ltd ACN 008 181 379 AFS Licence No. 259983 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Corporate Finance (SA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

For the purposes of our Report, we consider Shareholders have the following alternatives to consider in approving the Kalkaroo Transaction:

  • To reject the Kalkaroo Transaction and for Havilah to undertake the development of the Kalkaroo Project through the raising of debt and equity;

  • To approve the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon the exercise of the Kalkaroo Option.

Given the approval or rejection of the Kalkaroo Transaction will not affect the other assets and liabilities of Havilah, we have expressed our analysis of the alternatives for Shareholders as an increment in value to an ordinary share in Havilah ( ‘Havilah Share’ ).

In arriving at our opinion, we have assessed the terms of the Kalkaroo Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report. We have considered:

  • How the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project, compares to the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option;

  • The likelihood of a superior offer being made to Havilah;

  • Other factors which we consider to be relevant to the Shareholders in their assessment of the Kalkaroo Transaction; and

  • The position of Shareholders should the Kalkaroo Transaction not be approved.

2.3 Opinion

Given that Shareholders are required to vote on one resolution regarding approval of the Kalkaroo Transaction, we outline a single opinion for the Kalkaroo Transaction.

We have considered the terms of the Kalkaroo Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report and have concluded that, in the absence of a superior offer and any other relevant information, the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, Shareholders.

2

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

2.4 Fairness

In Sections 10 and 11 we determined the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, is greater than the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project, as detailed below.

The above pricing indicates that, in absence of any other relevant information, and a superior offer, the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair for Shareholders.

2.5 Reasonableness

We have considered the analysis in Section 13 of this Report, in terms of both:

  • Advantages and disadvantages of the Kalkaroo Transaction; and

  • Other considerations, including the position of Shareholders if the Kalkaroo Transaction does not proceed and the consequences of not approving the Kalkaroo Transaction.

In our opinion, the position of Shareholders if the Kalkaroo Transaction is approved is more advantageous than the position if the Kalkaroo Transaction is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence of any other relevant information or a superior offer, we consider that the Kalkaroo Transaction is reasonable for Shareholders.

The respective advantages and disadvantages considered are summarised below:

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

13.3.1.

13.4.1. Shareholders’ risk profile may change

3. Scope of the Report

3.1 Purpose of the Report

There is no requirement under ASX Listing Rules or Corporations Act for Havilah to engage an independent expert in relation to the Kalkaroo Transaction.

Notwithstanding the above, as a matter of good governance, Shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 and the Directors of Havilah have engaged BDO to prepare this report for provision to Shareholders to assist them in deciding whether to accept or reject the Kalkaroo Transaction.

A condition precedent in the Terms Sheet is Havilah obtaining a report from an independent expert opining that the Kalkaroo Transaction is in the best interest of Shareholders (including where the report opines that the Kalkaroo Transaction is ‘not fair but reasonable’) (‘ IER Condition ’).

3.2 Regulatory guidance

Neither the Listing Rules nor the Corporations Act defines the meaning of ‘fair and reasonable’. In determining whether the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable, we have had regard to the views expressed by ASIC in RG 111. This regulatory guide provides guidance as to what matters an independent expert should consider to assist security holders to make informed decisions about transactions.

This regulatory guide suggests that, where an expert assesses whether a related party transaction is ‘fair and reasonable’ for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1, this should not be applied as a composite test— that is, there should be a separate assessment of whether the transaction is ‘fair’ and ‘reasonable’, as in a control transaction. An expert should not assess whether the transaction is ‘fair and reasonable’ based simply on a consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposal.

We do not consider the Kalkaroo Transaction to be a control transaction. As such, we have used RG 111 as a guide for our analysis but have considered the Kalkaroo Transaction as if it were not a control transaction.

3.3 Adopted basis of evaluation

RG 111 states that a transaction is fair if the value of the offer price or consideration is equal to or greater than the value of the securities subject of the offer. This comparison should be made assuming a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, seller acting at arm’s length. When considering the value of the securities subject of the offer in a control transaction it is inappropriate for the expert to apply a discount on the basis that the shares being acquired represent a minority or portfolio interest as such the expert should consider this value inclusive of a control premium. Further to this, RG 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if despite being ‘not fair’ the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid.

Fairness relates to questions of value whereas reasonableness relates to other factors that arise out of the transaction.

5

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Having regard to the above, BDO has completed this comparison in two parts:

  • A comparison between the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project, and the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, (fairness – see Section 12 ‘Is the Kalkroo Transaction Fair?’).

  • An investigation into other significant factors to which Shareholders might give consideration, prior to approving the Kalkaroo Transaction, after reference to the value derived above (reasonableness – see Section 13 ‘Is the Kalkaroo Transaction Reasonable?’).

A proposal that is “fair and reasonable” or “not fair but reasonable” would be in the best interests of security holders.

This assignment is a Valuation Engagement as defined by Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board professional standard APES 225 ‘Valuation Services’ (‘ APES 225 ’).

A Valuation Engagement is defined by APES 225 as follows:

an Engagement or Assignment to perform a Valuation and provide a Valuation Report where the Valuer is free to employ the Valuation Approaches, Valuation Methods, and Valuation Procedures that a reasonable and informed third party would perform taking into consideration all the specific facts and circumstances of the Engagement or Assignment available to the Valuer at that time.’

This Valuation Engagement has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in APES 225.

4. Outline of the Transaction

On 17 May 2022, Havilah announced that it had executed a conditional binding Terms Sheet with OZL and OZE pursuant to which Havilah proposed to:

  • Grant OZE the Kalkaroo Option;

  • Grant OZE access to Havilah’s Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease; and

  • Form a strategic alliance with OZE for the purpose of conducting further exploration for copper in the Curnamona Province of north-eastern South Australia ( ‘Strategic Alliance’ );

cumulatively, the above transaction is referred to as the “Proposed Transaction”.

As per the condition in the Terms Sheet, the parties are entering into Additional Documents .

Havilah is seeking Shareholder approval to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Part of the Proposed Transaction is the grant of the Kalkaroo Option to OZE. The material terms of the Kalkaroo Option are as follows:

  • OZE may exercise the Kalkaroo Option within the 18 month period commencing from the date all of the conditions in the Terms Sheet are satisfied, unless extended in certain circumstances (up to a maximum of 30 months from the date all of the conditions in the Terms Sheet are satisfied) ( ‘Option Period’ );

  • OZE will have exclusive possession and use of the Kalkaroo Tenements during the Option Period;

  • OZE will undertake and sole fund a study program and drilling during the Option Period, with the aim of progressing and completing an update to the current Kalkaroo Project pre-feasibility study, the results of which will assist OZE in determining whether or not to exercise the Kalkaroo Option;

  • OZE may elect to withdraw from the Kalkaroo Option at any time during the Option Period;

  • If OZE choose to exercise the Kalkaroo Option, Havilah will enter into an asset sale agreement with OZE for the sale of the Kalkaroo Project (and certain associated assets) to OZE for an upfront consideration of $205 million subject to completion, which is conditional on the satisfaction of certain completion conditions as specified in the asset sale agreement ( ‘Completion Payment’ );

  • Subject to the exercise of the Kalkaroo Option and completion of the acquisition of the Kalkaroo Project, and achievement of certain milestones as specified in the asset sale agreement, the following deferred contingent consideration (‘ Contingent Consideration’ ) may be payable by OZE:

  • $65 million cash upon a 30% or more increase, based on in-situ copper tonnes, in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of the Kalkaroo Tenements when compared to the current Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of the Kalkaroo Tenements detailed in Havilah’s announcement dated 30 January 2018, taking into account depletion of Measured and Indicated Resources due to mining activities ( ‘Resource Payment’ ); and

  • a payment equal to 20% of the revenue received by OZE (or its Related Bodies Corporate) in each year of production from the Kalkaroo Project following completion on copper prices above US$10,000 / tonne, up to a maximum payment of $135,000,000 (indexed to CPI (Australia)) ( ‘Revenue Payment’ );

together, the above transaction is referred to as the “Kalkaroo Transaction”.

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Under the Strategic Alliance, OZE will pay Havilah $1 million per month during the Alliance Period (capped at $18 million) ( ‘Upfront Investment’ ). The “Alliance Period” will commence from the date all of the conditions in the Terms Sheet are satisfied and will terminate on:

  • The date the Strategic Alliance agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms;

  • The date that is 18 months from the date all of the conditions in the Terms Sheet are satisfied unless extended by the parties in certain circumstances (up to a maximum of 30 months from the date all of the conditions in the Terms Sheet are satisfied; and

  • If the Kalkaroo Option is exercised, the date on which completion occurs or the date of termination of the asset sale agreement in accordance with its terms.

Havilah must direct 50% of the Upfront Investment to activities aimed at the discovery, location and delineation of copper dominant mineralisation and work relating to possible development and exploration of minerals within certain areas of the Curnamona Province as specified in the Strategic Alliance agreement.

5. Profile of Havilah

5.1 History

Havilah is an ASX-listed mineral exploration and development company, with a portfolio of iron ore, copper, gold, cobalt, and uranium mineral tenements located in the Curnamona Province of South Australia. The Company’s flagship mineral project is the Kalkaroo copper-gold-cobalt Project. Havilah also owns 100% of the Mutooroo copper-cobalt-gold Project, the Maldorky, Grants and Grants Basin iron ore exploration projects, and a substantial portfolio of under-explored tenements in the surrounding areas, comprising the Mutooroo Regional Exploration Area, Central Curnamona Regional Exploration Area, and Jupiter Regional Exploration Area. In addition, Havilah holds two joint venture agreements.

Havilah’s head office is located in Adelaide, South Australia and its current board and senior management are set our below:

  • Dr Christopher Giles – Executive Director

  • Mr Victor Previn – Non-Executive Director

  • Mr Simon Gray – Executive Director and Company Secretary

  • Mr Richard Buckley – Senior Mine Planning Engineer

  • Mr Traviss Just – Chief Geologist

5.2 Projects

Kalkaroo Copper-Gold-Cobalt Project

The Kalkaroo Project is Havilah’s flagship mineral project, located 400 kilometres (‘ km ’) north-east of Adelaide and 95km north-west of the mining town of Broken Hill. The project comprises a 100.1 million tonne (‘ mt ’) JORC Ore Reserve that is capable of supporting a large-scale open pit mining operation for over at least 13 years. Havilah has already secured the required mining permits for the Kalkaroo Project, and owns the Kalkaroo Station Pastoral Lease, a 534km[2] non-mineral asset on which Kalkaroo is located, reducing the land access risks for the project.

Havilah has formulated a strategic plan to develop the Kalkaroo deposit, commencing with a lower capital expenditure operation that initially focuses on mining the comparatively shallow and soft oxidised gold and native copper ore at West Kalkaroo. The proposed West Kalkaroo gold open pit is located at the very western part of the Kalkaroo deposit. Havilah has stated it is planned to produce 80,000 to 90,000 ounces of gold and 5,000 ounces of native copper over an initial 3-to-4-year period.

The priority during 2021 was to progress the West Kalkaroo gold open pit permitting work, feasibility study and financing options with the aim of advancing towards development during 2022. Sterilisation holes were also completed in the vicinity of the planned locations of key infrastructure to ensure that they will not be built too close to potentially economic mineralisation.

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Mutooroo Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project

The Mutooroo project (‘ Mutooroo ’) is a lode-style copper and cobalt deposit, located approximately 500km by road north-east of Adelaide in South Australia, close to the New South Wales border and 60km south-west of Broken Hill. It contains 195,000 tonnes of Copper, 20,000 tonnes of cobalt and 82,100 ounces of gold in Measured, Indicated, and Inferred JORC Mineral Resources.

Havilah is undertaking a Preliminary Feasibility Study (‘ PFS ’) on Mutooroo as a proposed 1 million tonne per annum throughput copper and cobalt producer, based on current JORC Measured Resources, initially from an open cut mine that transitions to a longer term underground mining operation. The present drilling campaign is designed to boost open pit resources to sustain an initial 5-year open pit mining operation.

Maldorky Iron Ore Project

Located approximately 450km by road north-east of Adelaide and 90km south-west of Broken Hill, the Maldorky project (‘ Maldorky ’) comprises five tenements spanning close to 9km[2] , prospective in iron ore.

Havilah completed initial drilling in Maldorky in 2010, with an initial JORC Indicated resource estimate of 147 million tonnes at 30.1% iron in 2011. The resource is contained in a flat orebody with a thin overburden, making it well suited to a low-cost open pit mine operation, which is proposed in three stages.

Havilah has applied for a mining lease for Maldorky. Granting of the mining lease for Maldorky is dependent on obtaining a signed Native Title Mining Agreement and successful land access negotiations.

Grants and Grants Basin Iron Ore Projects

The Grants Deposit (‘ Grants ’) and nearby Grants Basin exploration target are located north of Havilah’s Maldorky project, approximately 80km west-south-west of Broken Hill. Initial drilling was undertaken by Havilah at Grants in 2012, identifying a JORC inferred resourced 304 million tonnes of 24% iron and geology favourable for an open pit mining operation. Grants Basin spans an area of 17.1km[2] located to the east of Grants and is largely unexplored to date.

Havilah states the iron ore appears to be geologically and mineralogically similar to Havilah’s nearby Maldorky iron ore deposit and other Braemor region iron ore deposits. Havilah states this combined with the favourable logistics and deposit mining geometry, means the deposit is well suited to a low-cost open pit mining operation.

Uranium Projects

Havilah owns a 100% interest in the Oban uranium deposit and a number of surrounding exploration tenements prospective in uranium, located 520km northeast of Adelaide and 100km northwest of Broken Hill.

Havilah is currently investigating joint venture opportunities to further progress exploration at its uranium deposit.

10

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

The Benagerie Royalty

Havilah acquired the North Portia copper-gold-cobalt project (‘ North Portia’ ) in 2003 and in partnership with Consolidating Mining & Civil Pty Ltd (‘ CMC ’), explored, financed and developed the Portia Gold Mine (‘ Portia ’), which is located 120km northwest of Broken Hill in south-western New South Wales. Mining commenced at Portia in March 2015 and first production was achieved in April 2016.

In November 2017, Havilah announced the modification of the existing 50/50 joint operation and revenue sharing agreement with CMC for Portia. Under the new agreement, CMC assumed full responsibility and costs for the day-to-day operations of Portia, in exchange for a 15% gold revenue stream to be paid to Havilah.

In July 2018, Havilah completed a further agreement with CMC to divest of Havilah’s wholly owned subsidiary, Benagerie Gold Pty Ltd (‘ Benagerie ’), which is the project vehicle for Portia and North Portia, for staged consideration of $14.7 million and a 2% net smelter return (‘ NSR ’) royalty. Under the royalty agreement, Havilah will receive 2% NSR royalty on all commodity sales from the Benagerie mining license (comprising the Portia and North Portia), which will increase to 3.25% on all copper once 101,400 tonnes of copper have been produced and sold. Should the quarterly royalty be less than $0.30 million by November 2020, Havilah will receive guaranteed payments of $0.30 million per quarter until that date.

In April 2019, Havilah announced revised terms of the divestment of Benagerie, detailing total consideration of $12 million plus a 1.5% NSR royalty and accelerated payments to Havilah. The new agreement also eliminated the 3.25% NSR royalty on copper sales, the minimum payment guarantee and Havilah’s previous permitting obligations.

Prospect Hill Joint Venture

During September 2007, Havilah entered into a farm in agreement with Teale and Associates Pty Ltd for the Prospect Hill tin project (‘ Prospect Hill’ ), through which it can earn up to an 85% interest in the associated tenements.

The project is located on the northern margins of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia and following initial drilling in the 1980 has been identified as the state’s largest known tin resource. Havilah has since completed two rounds of additional drilling to earn a 65% interest in the project and have the option to earn another 20% by completing a bankable feasibility study.

6. Profile of OZ Minerals Limited

6.1 History

OZL is an ASX-listed mineral exploration and development company, with a portfolio of copper, gold, silver, nickel, iron oxide, zinc, and lead deposits. OZE is a wholly owned subsidiary of OZL. OZL’s most significant projects are outlined below. References to “OZL” in this Report includes OZL’s related bodies corporate.

6.2 Projects

Prominent Hill Project

Prominent Hill is a well-established underground copper, gold and silver mine located 650km north-west of Adelaide in South Australia. The mine is a reliable, low-cost producer and has delivered on annual production guidance for the last seven years. In 2021, Prominent Hill produced 62,927 tonnes of copper and 141,676 ounces of gold.

Carrapateena Project

Carrapateena is an iron-oxide-copper-gold underground mine located in the highly prospective Gawler Craton in South Australia. Carrapateena first produced concentrate in December 2019 and has since ramped up to a steady state production rate. In 2021, it produced 55,262 tonnes of copper and 89,778 ounces of gold.

West Musgrave Project

The West Musgrave Project is a major copper-nickel sulphide deposit located in the Musgrave Province of Western Australia, approximately 1,300km northeast of Perth, close to Western Australia’s border with the Northern Territory and South Australia. The project is currently in its final study phase with regulatory approvals progressing and a final investment decision expected in the second half of 2022.

16

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

7. Economic analysis

7.1 Global overview

The upward pressure on inflation over the second half of 2021 has persisted and the global economic outlook remains uncertain. Inflation in many advanced economies increased in March and is now expected to reach 6-9 per cent during 2022. The recent increase in inflation largely reflects the increase in energy, food and other commodity prices associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The rise in global inflation has exceeded the increase in wages growth, eroding households’ purchasing power across a wide range of economics. Lower-income households are particularly affected by higher fuel and food costs. The impact of higher commodity prices will boost national incomes for some economies but be negative for overall global growth. European economies are especially affected, due to their reliance on Russian gas.

Central banks in many advanced economies have begun to withdraw the extraordinary monetary stimulus introduced during the pandemic by increasing policy rates and announcing plans to reduce their asset holdings. Government bond yields have risen considerably, and financial conditions for households and businesses have become less accommodative in many economies.

In China, conditions have become significantly more challenging as a result of the recent outbreaks of COVID-19 and stringent restrictions on mobility in some cities. Restrictions have reduced consumer spending and the production of manufactured goods, adding to the challenge facing the government in meeting its recently announced growth target.

7.2 Australia

The Australian economy staged a strong recovery in late 2021 and timely indicators suggest economic activity has remained resilient to the Omicron outbreak and the east coast floods in early 2022. The underlying strength in the economy has been particularly evident in the labour market, where conditions are the most robust in many years. Strong labour demand and fiscal measures are supporting growth in household income, although recent large increases in food and energy prices are having a significant negative impact on household budgets. Inflation in Australia is high and global factors account for much of the increase in inflation in Australia, but domestic factors are also playing a role. More broadly, the increase in commodity prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has boosted national income, mainly in the form of elevated profits for companies in the resources sector and higher government tax revenue.

Labour market

The unemployment rate declined to 3.9 percent in May, the lowest in almost 50 years – amid strong labour demand. This demand has been met by firms increasing both headcount and hours of existing staff. Overall, the supply of labour has been responsive to the strong demand for labour, with the participation rate increasing to a record high of 66.4 percent in March, and the employment to working age population ratio also increasing to a historically high level.

17

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Commodity prices

Commodity prices are at an elevated level when compared with recent years, which has boosted Australia’s terms of trade and national income. The RBA Index of Commodity Prices remain at high levels, which are forecast to boost financial income via dividend payments from the resources sector.

Interest rates

Average interest rates on new fixed and variable rate loans continued to diverge over the March quarter. The average rate of new fixed rate housing loans rose by almost 85 basis points from its historical low in mid-2021, following significant increases in swap rates. While increases in interest rates of fixed rate loans have been broadly based, the largest increases have been on loans with fixed rate terms of more than two years.

Interest rates on outstanding business loans have drifted down slightly or been little changed across most types of loans over the recent months. However, interest rates on new business loans have increased or been little changed for most types of loans over the same period. Average interest rates on loans for small and medium businesses have picked up, following the rise in longer-term swap rates.

Increase in interest rates in June and July, flowing from RBA’s increase to the cash rate target totalling 100 basis points, is a further step in the withdrawal of the extraordinary monetary support that was put in place to help insure the Australian economy against the worst possible effects of the pandemic. The RBA expects to take further steps in the process of normalising monetary conditions in Australia over the months ahead.

Australian dollar

The Australian Dollar is approximately 4 percent lower than at the start of the year, after earlier rises in the year which had been supported by the elevated level of commodity prices. The Australian Dollar depreciated markedly against the US dollar in June, alongside the appreciation of the US dollar and outlook for Chinese activity.

8. Industry analysis

8.1 Gold

Gold is a soft malleable metal which is highly desirable due to its rarity, permanence and unique mineral properties. Gold has been used in jewellery and as a form of currency for thousands of years. However, more recently, there has been increasing demand for its use in the manufacture of electronics, dentistry, medicine and aerospace technology.

In addition to its practical applications, gold also serves as an international store of monetary value. Gold is widely regarded as a monetary asset as it is considered less volatile than world currencies and therefore provides a safe haven investment during periods of economic uncertainty.

Once mined, gold continues to exist indefinitely and is often melted down and recycled to produce alternative or replacement products. Consequently, demand for gold is supported by both gold ore mining and gold recycling. A summary of the recent historical supply of gold is provided in the table below:

Historically, the price of gold is negatively correlated with the prices of other asset classes during times of uncertainty and financial crises. Growing uncertainty on the back of the recent COVID-19 outbreak has caused the price of gold to rally, as investors demand the high liquidity that gold provides. Whilst the Russian invasion of Ukraine has positively supported gold demand and prices and is likely to continue in the very near term.

The global gold price is denominated in US dollars and therefore, the exchange rate directly affects the returns received by domestic industry operators. A weaker Australian Dollar benefits the domestic industry by boosting Australian dollar denominated returns on gold sales, likely resulting in higher volumes.

Gold ore mining trends

Gold ore mining is a capital intensive and high-cost process, which is becoming increasingly difficult and more expensive as the quality of ore reserves diminishes. The industry also incurs many indirect costs related to exploration, royalties, overheads, marketing and native title law. Typically, many of these costs are fixed in the short term as a result of industry operators’ inability to significantly alter cost structures once a mine commences production.

The gold industry is geographically diverse, with China and Australia leading global gold production, closely followed by Russia. According to the United States Geological Survey ( ‘USGS’ ), total estimated global gold ore mined for 2021 was approximately 3,000 metric tonnes. The chart below illustrates the estimated global gold production by country for 2021.

According to the World Gold Council, global gold production increased 2% in 2021 reversing some of the effects of COVID-19 encountered in 2020. The virus led to fewer interruptions in global mine production in contrast to 2020, although a number of gold mine operational issues and lower grades of the commodity dominated the December 2021 quarter. The decrease in supply was hardest felt in China as production fell by 10%, whilst production also fell by 8% in Burkina Faso and 7% in Australia.

The World Gold Council expects total production to remain largely unchanged in 2022, with expected growth in mine supply due to fewer COVID-19 disruptions, and ramp-ups at various mines, being offset once again by a fall in recycling.

According to the 2022 USGS, Australia’s gold reserves amount to 11,000 tonnes, representing 21% of global reserves and the largest percentage held by any one country. IBISWorld estimates domestic industry revenue will fall by an annualised 2.3% over the five-year period through to 2025-26, dropping to approximately $23.6 billion. This is largely expected to be the result of stabilising economic conditions and rising operating costs.

Gold prices fluctuated significantly throughout 2020. Demand for gold increased in response to the uncertainty created by the global spread of COVID-19, as investors prioritised safe haven assets. In late March 2020, the increasing demand for gold was interrupted by a panic selloff as investors began to realise their profits amidst the growing uncertainty caused by the crisis. Gold spot prices fell to a yearly low of USD1,471/oz, before rallying in late July and early August to exceed USD2,000/oz. Gold prices reached a record high of approximately USD2,064/oz on 6 August 2020, before declining slightly below the USD2,000/oz mark through to November 2020.

In January 2021, the price of gold increased as a result of further fallout from the US Election, climbing back over USD1,900/oz after remaining in the USD1,800s/oz through most of December 2020. During March 2021, the price of gold fell below USD1,700 for the first time in eight months as rising US treasury yields threatened gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge by increasing the opportunity cost of holding the precious metal. Demand was also weakened by increased consumer confidence in the gradual reopening of global economies as COVID-19 vaccination rates rose.

Concerns regarding the spread of the Delta variant increased the safe haven appeal of gold, which saw the price of gold climb to back above the USD1,800/oz mark in early July 2021. The price of gold slipped by over 4% in early August, reaching a four-month low as the US Federal Reserve signalled policy tightening sooner than anticipated. The price of gold steadily declined to approximately USD1,700/oz by the end of September 2021. Weakness in demand over September and October was driven by a rise in US treasury yields and a stronger US dollar. Following the US Federal Reserve’s announcement to reduce purchases of Government bonds, gold prices significantly strengthened over the course of November 2021 to surpass

21

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

USD1,850/oz. The US CPI revealed an inflation rate of 7.5% over the 12 months to January 2022, its highest level in four decades, which fuelled ongoing concerns surrounding high inflation leading to an increase in the price of gold.

Gold prices increased to above USD2,000/oz in March 2022, on the back of the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In the second quarter of 2022 gold edged lower, before dropping below USD1,800/oz in July 2022. Gold’s pullback was largely driven by aggressive monetary policy from top central banks and an elevated US dollar. Gold usually benefits from high inflation, but rising interest rates translate into a higher opportunity cost of holding gold, which is a non-interest-bearing asset. There has also been speculation that recession worries have caused a reduction in demand across a range of commodities.

According to Consensus Economics forecasts, the price of gold is forecast to decline over the medium term but remain high in comparison to historical levels.

8.2 Copper

Copper is a soft, malleable, ductile metal used primarily for its electrical and thermal conductive properties and its resistance to corrosion. It is highly versatile and has a variety of applications in construction, electrical and electronic components, communications and transportation.

Copper occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust in a variety of forms such as sulphide deposits, carbonate deposits and silicate deposits. Open pit mining is widely utilised in most copper producing countries although in Australia, approximately 93% of output is extracted through underground mining. Copper is often found in conjunction with gold, lead, cobalt or zinc, and a number of industry operators mine these metals and ores as well.

Copper concentrate is derived from an oxide through beneficiation processes and is then converted to copper products through smelting and refining. Copper is also 100% recyclable and approximately 80% of the copper ever produced is still in use today.

Copper Production

Most of the world’s copper supply is sourced from Central and South America, specifically, Chile and Peru. Chile is the leading copper producer, with an estimated 5.60million tonnes of copper mined throughout 2021, equating to approximately 27% of the world copper production. However, there is continuing uncertainty around Peru and Chile’s production as protests activities at Peru’s Las Bambas mine are an ongoing risk, and production at Chile’s Escondida mine continues to decline quarter-on-quarter due to lower feed grade. Production at the new Kamoa-Kakula mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (‘ DRC ’) is expected to ease immediate supply shortages in 2022 and concerns thereof. The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources expects global copper production to grow up to 23.0Mt in 2022, from 21.0Mt in 2021. There are strong incentives for development projects resulting from expectations of future demand growth and current high prices, reflecting market tightness.

Copper Prices

Between 2012 and 2017, the copper price steadily declined, before increasing in price in mid-February 2017 as a result of strike action at the world’s largest copper mine Escondida, located in Chile. The average copper price traded around USD7,000/t for most of 2018 but then traded lower around USD6,000/t for most of 2019.

23

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Global uncertainty as a result of the COVID pandemic was a key catalyst in the decline in copper prices throughout the first quarter of 2020, with prices dropping to a 4-year low of USD4,625/t on 23 March 2020. The subsequent decline in global production stemming from global lockdown laws in April and May 2020, coupled with an improvement in copper demand from China, caused prices to spike over the remainder of 2020. Chinese government stimulus measures further increased Chinese demand, with the industry experiencing supply constraints and an excess of demand, which pushed the price to exceed USD10,000/t in May and June 2021. The price of copper hit USD11,000/t in October 2021, which was likely the result of the unrest at the Las Bambas mine and concerns regarding the impact of rising energy prices on copper output. In January 2022 copper prices fell as concerns over Chinese demand escalated. Prices picked up in February 2022, supported by low copper inventories in exchange houses around the world. Ongoing supply tightness, falling Chilean output and rising energy costs saw copper prices remain above USD10,000/t for most of March 2022. However, in July 2022, copper prices slumped to the lowest they had been since early February 2021, with recession fears weighing on prices.

According to Consensus Economics forecasts, the price of copper is forecast to decline over the medium term but remain high in comparison to historical levels.

A summary of the historical spot price of copper, based on the quoted price on the London Metals Exchange in USD per tonne, and forecasts to 2031 (in nominal terms, free on board) are illustrated in the chart below:

Copper Outlook

Following three years of stagnation, resulting primarily from COVID-19 related restrictions and workforce absenteeism, the ICSG anticipates global copper production to grow by approximately 5% in both 2022 and 2023. Global copper production is expected to benefit from commencing, or newly commenced, major projects including Kamoa-Kakula in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Quellaveco in Peru, and SpenceSGO and Quebrada Blanca QB2 in Chile.

24

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Global refined copper production is forecasted to grow by approximately 4.3% and 3.6% in 2022 and 2023 respectively. This is primarily supported by the continued expansion of Chinese electrolytic capacity, and new and expanding operations in the DRC.

The ICSG also expects sustained growth in copper demand as it remains an essential commodity to economic activity, particularly in today’s modern technological society. Infrastructure development in China and India as well as the trend towards cleaner energy is expected to support demand for the metal. World apparent refined usage is expected to increase by around 1.9% and 2.8% in 2022 and 2023 respectively. The usage growth was revised to 1.9% citing a weaker global economic outlook resulting from the negative impact of COVID-19 related lockdowns in China and the war in Ukraine. Overall, global refined copper balance projections indicate a surplus of about 142,000t in 2022, and 352,000t in 2023.

As the global economy shifts towards decarbonisation and electrification, it is expected that the demand for copper production will follow. Copper has become synonymous with a low-carbon economy as it is a highly efficient conductor of electricity and heat and is utilized in renewable energy systems to generate power from solar, hydro, thermal and wind energy across the world. Renewable energy currently provides approximately one quarter of the world’s power and is expected to grow, as the Joe Biden administration has set goals for 100% renewable energy in the US power sector by 2035. The International Copper Association (‘ ICA ’) forecast that the global copper demand for use in solar and wind energy systems is expected to rise by 56% by 2027, with China being a leading catalyst due to their desired switch to renewable energy systems. The role of copper as a forward-facing metal stems from being one of the few materials that can be recycled 100 percent repeatedly without a loss in performance, as annually nearly as much copper is recovered from recycled materials as is derived from newly mined ore. BHP Group Limited expect that the production of copper must double over the next 30 years to meet the demand.

Copper will also play an instrumental role in the growth of electric vehicles (‘ EVs ’). EVs typically contain four times more copper than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, however most of the copper demand will result from charging stations and related infrastructure to support EV growth. The demand for EVs is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade, driven by technological improvements, increased affordability, and the deployment of more electric charging stations. As a result, the ICA forecast that by 2030 more than 250,000 tonnes of copper will be used per year as part of the windings in electric traction motors, resulting in an increase in the overall demand for copper in EVs rising from 185,000 tonnes in 2017 to 1.74 million tonnes in 2027.

9. Valuation approach adopted

There are a number of methodologies which can be used to value a business or the shares in a company. The principal methodologies which can be used are as follows:

  • Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘ FME ’)

  • Discounted cash flow (‘ DCF ’)

  • Quoted market price basis (‘ QMP ’)

  • Net asset value (‘ NAV ’)

  • Market based assessment

A summary of each of these methodologies is outlined in Appendix 2.

Different methodologies are appropriate in valuing particular companies, based on the individual circumstances of that company and available information.

It is possible for a combination of different methodologies to be used together to determine an overall value, where separate assets and liabilities are valued using different methodologies. When such a combination of methodologies is used, it is referred to as a ‘Sum-of-Parts’ valuation (‘ Sum-of-Parts’ ).

Given the approval or rejection of the Kalkaroo Transaction will not affect the other assets and liabilities of Havilah, we have expressed our analysis of the alternatives for Shareholders as an increment in value to a Havilah Share.

In our assessment of whether the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair for Shareholders, we have assessed the transaction as follows:

  • A comparison between the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project and the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option.

  • 9.1 Incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project

In our assessment of the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project, we have chosen to employ the Sum-of-Parts methodology.

Sum-of-Parts

We have employed the Sum-of-Parts method in estimating the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share by aggregating the estimated fair market values of the components of the Kalkaroo Project, having consideration to the following:

  • The value of Havilah’s 100% interest in the development of the Kalkaroo Project (‘ Kalkaroo Development’ ) (applying the DCF methodology); and

  • The value of Havilah’s interest in the residual resources of the Kalkaroo Project not included in the Kalkaroo Development.

26

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

DCF methodology

We have chosen the DCF methodology to value the Kalkaroo Development for the following reasons:

  • Cash flows from the Kalkaroo Development have a finite life and these cash flows may vary substantially from year to year, rendering it suitable for a DCF valuation.

  • A PFS has been completed for the Kalkaroo Development and a reserve has been identified by Havilah. In our opinion, the life of mine model provides a sufficiently reasonable basis to apply the DCF methodology.

  • The information that we have been provided to assist with our DCF in relation to the Kalkaroo Development includes the following:

  • A detailed cash flow model for the Kalkaroo Development prepared by the management of Havilah with the assistance of advisors; and

  • The Independent Technical Specialist’s Report prepared by AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (‘ AMC ’), assessing the technical project assumptions contained in the cash flow model of the Kalkaroo Development.

Notional capital raising

In our Sum-of-Parts valuation approach we have assumed that Havilah will need to raise the capital required for the Kalkaroo Development through a notional capital raising.

We have considered the likely price at which Havilah will have to place its shares to a third party or to current Shareholders under a capital raising to obtain the capital required.

Whilst we understand that there may be alternatives for Havilah to raise capital, we are required by RG 111.15 to assess the funding requirements for a company that is not in financial distress when considering its value, especially when using DCF methodology. Further, ASIC’s information sheet 214 states that in arriving at the fair value of the Company’s securities, the expert takes into account the funding required, such as considering the increase in the number of shares on issue. This reflects that the value of the project must be shared between existing security holders and new security holders who will assist in funding the project development. Therefore, we have assumed a ‘notional’ capital raising that is likely to result in significant dilution for the Company in order to raise the capital.

To determine the likely issue price, we have considered the pre-announcement volume weighted average trading price (‘ VWAP ’) of a Havilah Share and the discount at which shares have been issued by ASX listed companies when compared with the prices of a Havilah Share prior to the date of the announcement of the capital raising.

Independent specialist valuations

In performing our valuation of the Kalkaroo Development using the DCF method, we have relied on the Independent Technical Specialist’s Report (‘ ITSR ’) prepared by AMC based on AMC’s review of the technical project assumptions contained in the cash flow model of the Kalkaroo Development, technical assessment and valuation report.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (2015 Edition) (‘ the Valmin Code’ ) and the JORC Code.

A copy of AMC’s Independent Technical Specialist’s Report is attached in Appendix 4.

9.2 Incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option

In our assessment of the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, we have considered the Completion Payment and funding during the Alliance Period of the Kalkaroo Transaction.

10. Incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project

We have employed the Sum-of-Parts method in estimating the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share, prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction. We have aggregated the estimated fair market values of the components of the Kalkaroo Project, having consideration for the following:

  • Value of Havilah’s interest in the Kalkaroo Project;

  • Cash received from a notional capital raising;

  • Present value of Havilah’s corporate costs; and

  • Carrying value of the Kalkaroo Project.

10.1 Sum-of-Parts

The table above indicates that the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project is between $0.219 and $0.290 with a preferred value of $0.253.

10.1.1. Discounted cash flow valuation of the Kalkaroo Development

We elected to use the DCF approach in valuing the Kalkaroo Development. The DCF approach estimates the fair market value by discounting the forecast future cash flows arising from the Kalkaroo Development to their net present value. Performing a DCF valuation requires the determination of the following:

  • The expected future cash flows that the Kalkaroo Development is expected to generate; and

  • An appropriate discount rate to apply to the cash flows of the Kalkaroo Development to convert them to a present value equivalent.

29

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

10.1.1.1.Future cash flows

The management of Havilah has provided a detailed cash flow model for the Kalkaroo Development (the ‘ Model ’). The Model estimates the future cash flows expected from gold and copper production at the Kalkaroo Development based on determined JORC compliant reserves only. The Model depicts forecasts of real and nominal post-tax cash flows over the life of the mine on an annual basis. We have reviewed the model and the material assumptions that underpin it.

BDO has made certain adjustments to the Model which were considered appropriate to arrive at an adjusted model (the ‘ Adjusted Model ’). We have used the Adjusted Model in our DCF valuation. In particular, we have adjusted the Model to reflect any changes to technical assumptions together with operating and capital costs as a result of AMC’s review and any changes to the economic and other input assumptions from our research. We have also reflected the Model in cash flows on a nominal basis, only.

The Model was prepared based on estimates of a production profile, operating costs and construction and sustaining expenditure. The main assumptions underlying the Model include:

  • Mining and production volumes;

  • Commodity prices;

  • Operating costs;

  • Construction and sustaining capital expenditure and corresponding salvage values;

  • Rehabilitation costs;

  • Foreign exchange rates;

  • Royalties and corporate tax; and

  • Discount rate.

We undertook the following analysis of the Model:

  • Appointed AMC as technical expert to review and, where required, provided changes to the technical assumptions underlying the Model;

  • Conducted independent research on certain economic and other inputs such as commodity prices, exchange rates, inflation, and the discount rate applicable to the future cash flows of the Kalkaroo Development;

  • Held discussions with Havilah’s management regarding the preparation of the forecasts in the Model and its views; and

  • Performed a sensitivity analysis on the value of the Kalkaroo Development by flexing selected key assumptions and inputs.

We have undertaken a review of the cash flow forecasts in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 ‘Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information’ and do not express an opinion on the reasonableness of the assumptions or their achievability. However, nothing has come to our attention as a result of our procedures to suggest that the assumptions on which the Adjusted Model has been based have not been prepared on a reasonable basis.

30

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Appointment of a technical expert

AMC was engaged to prepare a report providing a technical assessment of the assumptions underlying the Model. AMC’s assessment involved the review and provision of opinion on the reasonableness of the assumptions adopted in the Model, including but not limited to:

  • Mining physicals (including volume mined, recovery and grade);

  • Processing assumptions (including products and recovery);

  • Operating costs (comprising mining, processing, refining, transport, maintenance, and administration);

  • Capital expenditure (construction and sustaining capital required);

  • Rehabilitation costs; and

  • Other relevant assumptions.

The Kalkaroo Project is expected to have an initial mine life of 14 years.

A copy of AMC’s Independent Technical Specialist’s Report is included in Appendix 4.

Limitations

Since forecasts relate to the future, they may be affected by unforeseen events and they depend, in part, on the effectiveness of management’s actions in implementing the plans on which the forecasts are based. Accordingly, actual results may vary materially from the forecasts included in the Model, as it is often the case with some events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, or are not anticipated, and those differences may be material.

Economic assumptions

Inflation

We note that all cash flows contained in the Model are calculated on a real basis. Therefore, we have applied a forecast inflation rate to the costs in the Model to convert them to nominal cash flows.

The Kalkaroo Development is situated in South Australia, and as such the capital expenditure and operating costs are denominated in Australian Dollars (‘ AUD ’). Therefore, we consider the most appropriate inflation rate to apply to the cash flows in the Adjusted Model is the forecast Australian inflation rate.

Having regard to the above, we consider the application of an annual Australian inflation rate of 3% over the life of the Kalkaroo Development to be appropriate, based on consensus views of forecast inflation as sourced from Bloomberg.

Foreign exchange

The commodity prices we have assessed in the Model are denominated in US Dollars (‘ USD ’). As mentioned above, the capital and operating expenditure is denominated in AUD. Given that Havilah is an Australian company, and we are assessing the value of a Havilah Share in AUD, we have converted the cash flows from the sale of gold and copper in the Adjusted Model to AUD at the forecast exchange rates set out in the table below:

Exchange rates 2023 2024

0.72

0.74

0.75

In our assessment of foreign exchange rates, we have considered forecasts prepared by economic analysts and other publicly available information including broker consensus to arrive at out foreign exchange rate assumptions.

Pricing

The Kalkaroo Development life of mine plan includes revenue from the sale of gold and copper.

In assessing forecast gold and copper prices, we have considered:

  • Most recent Consensus Economics price forecasts; and

  • Historical spot and forward prices from Bloomberg.

Based on our analysis, we have adopted the following future gold and copper prices (in nominal terms):

2023

The resultant forecast gold and copper pricing we have relied on from our review of Consensus Economics and Bloomberg outlines long-term nominal prices for the period from 2027 to 2031. We have applied an inflation rate of 3% per annum (outlined above) to prices beyond 2027 on the basis that we don’t not have reasonable grounds for assuming that margins are to be eroded or increased in the long term.

We note the significant increase in copper produced is due to the sulphide processing plant forecast to come online in 2027.

Operating costs

Operating costs included in the Adjusted Model are outlined in the graph below. AMC has noted the operating cost estimate assumptions underlying the Adjusted Model are estimated to a prefeasibility study level of accuracy, and therefore the contingencies included are appropriate. AMC has confirmed the reasonableness of the operating costs included in the Adjusted Model, stating that operating costs are within expected values based on comparable mining operations.

AMC noted that the General and Administration (‘ G&A ’) unit cost is low when compared to comparable remote mining operations and has provided us with adjusted G&A costs for inclusion in the Adjusted Model. Further detail on AMC’s assessment of the reasonableness of the operating costs at the Kalkaroo Development can be found in Appendix 4.

Capital expenditure

The Kalkaroo Development is forecast to require a project investment of approximately $934 million in nominal terms over the entire life of mine.

Note the significant processing plant capital expenditure forecast for 2023 is the initial oxide processing plant with a processing capacity of 4Mtpa. The sulphide processing plant, with a maximum processing capacity of 7Mtpa, is forecast for construction in 2026 and subsequently brought online in 2027. We have considered the initial capital expenditure funding in this section and all subsequent capital expenditure is forecast to be funded from project cash flows.

35

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

We note that contingencies of between 10% and 20% are included in each capital expenditure categorisation, which was considered for reasonableness by AMC in their review.

Royalties

Havilah is liable to pay government royalties of 5% levied on all good and copper revenues. Havilah applied a ‘Reduced Royalty for New Mines’ of 2% of sales for the first five years of production, which would need to be approved by South Australian Government. AMC outlined that the South Australian Government’s normal royalty is 5% for concentrate products however a discount of 2% can be granted for the first five years of a new mining project. Therefore, we consider Havilah has reasonable grounds to assume such a discount.

Taxation

Taxation has been applied at the notional rate of 30% which represents the current tax rate for companies operating in Australia. Havilah’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2021 disclose income tax losses of $9.6 million and the impact of these income tax losses have not been included in the assessment of the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share.

Closure costs

A total of $52.28 million in mine closure costs are assumed in the Adjusted Model in nominal terms, which are incurred in the final two years of the life of mine.

10.1.1.2.Discount rate

We have selected a nominal after tax discount rate in the range of 10% to 12% per annum to discount the cash flows from the Kalkaroo Development to their present value. We have used a rounded discount rate of 11% in our base case.

In selecting this range of discount rates, we have considered the following:

  • The rate of return of comparable ASX listed gold and copper exploration and early-stage production companies;

  • The risk profile of Havilah as compared to other gold and copper exploration and early-stage production companies; and

  • The funding structure of companies with mineral assets in the development stage comparable to that of the Kalkaroo Project.

A detailed consideration of how we arrived at the adopted discount range is outlined in Appendix 3.

36

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

10.1.1.3.Sensitivity analysis

The estimated value of Kalkaroo Development is derived under the DCF approach. Our valuation is highly sensitive to changes in the forecast of operating costs, capital costs, gold and copper prices and foreign exchange rates. We have therefore included an analysis to consider the value of the Kalkaroo Development under various pricing scenarios and in applying

  • Changes of + / - 10% to the gold price;

  • Changes of + / - 10% to the copper price;

  • Changes of + / - 10% to the capital costs;

  • Changes of + / - 10% to the operating costs;

  • Changes of + / - 10% to the AUD:USD exchange rate;

  • Discount rates in the range of 10% to 12%.

The following sensitivities have been prepared to assist Shareholders in considering the potential effects to the value of the Kalkaroo Development if our base case assumptions change.

In considering the above sensitivities, Shareholders should note the following:

  • The variables described above may have compounding or offsetting effects and are unlikely to move in isolation;

  • The variables for which we have performed sensitivities are not the only variables which are subject to deviation from the forecast assumptions; and

  • The sensitivities performed do not cover the full range of possible variances from the base case assumptions used (i.e., variances could be greater than the percentage increases or decreases set out in this analysis).

10.1.1.4.Conclusion on the value of Kalkaroo Development

Given the uncertainty involved with any forecast of commodity prices, exchange rates, operating costs and capital costs, we consider it appropriate to use the sensitivities outlined in Section 10.1.1.3 to form the basis of our valuation range for the Kalkaroo Development. As such, we consider the value of the Kalkaroo Development to be in the range of $400 million to $480 million with a most likely value of $440 million.

10.1.2. Valuation of Kalkaroo mineral resource not included in the Kalkaroo Development

In consultation with AMC, it was agreed that AMC would provide an independent market valuation of the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource not included in the Kalkaroo Development. AMC has relied upon the yardstick approach, comparable transactions method and actual transactions method, which we consider appropriate methodologies.

The range of values, as assessed by AMC, are $9 million to $29.3 million with a preferred value of $19.0 million. AMC’s report detailing the value of residual resources not included in the Kalkaroo Development can be found in Appendix 4.

10.1.3. Notional capital raising

We are required by RG 111.15 to assess funding requirements for a company that is not in financial distress when considering its value, especially when using the DCF methodology. Therefore, we have assumed that Havilah would most likely fund the construction and early-stage production of the Kalkaroo Project with a combination of both debt and equity funding and consider the following notional capital raise to be the equity portion of the funding required.

We have based this assessment of a forecast capital structure based on our analysis of comparable company funding structures. The list of comparable companies contains a mix of copper and gold producers that funded the development of their projects through debt. Therefore, we have considered the capital structure of these companies as at the date of the initial drawdown of debt to derive an appropriate capital structure of Havilah when the Kalkaroo Project commences development.

Based on our enquiries of management regarding funding options, as well as our analysis of funding structures of comparable listed companies, we consider there to be reasonable grounds to assume Havilah could obtain a debt-to-equity structure of approximately 50%.

We have assessed the funding requirement of approximately $665 million is broadly based on the cash required to fund the construction of the oxide processing plant, initial infrastructure requirements and early-stage mining costs. We have used the borrowings of $114,000 and total equity of $42.78 million from Havilah’s reviewed 31 January 2022 consolidated balance sheet as a base from which to add our notional debt and equity raising amounts. Therefore, at our assessed debt to equity ratio of 50%, we consider Havilah would raise $236 million of notional debt funding and the remaining $429 million by way of notional capital raising. We have increased the amount of notional equity funding raised to reflect our estimate of the gross amount required to meet the costs likely to be incurred in conducting the capital raising. We have assessed the costs of a capital raising to be approximately 5% of the funds raised. Therefore, Havilah will be required to raise approximately $452 million (inclusive of a placement fee) in order to meet the funding requirements of the Kalkaroo Development. This is set out in the table below.

In order to determine the likely price at which Havilah would have to place its shares to a third party, or to current Shareholders, under the notional capital raising, we considered the VWAP of Havilah’s shares and the discount at which shares have been issued by ASX listed companies when compared to the respective companies’ 30-day VWAP prior to the announcement of the placement.

From our analysis, the average (mean) discount for ASX listed mining companies was 16.6%. Given that the placement discounts have ranged significantly, we have also considered the median of 15.4% as this represents a better measure of central tendency.

However, given that the size of the notional capital raising required to fund the Kalkaroo Development would be more than 100% of Havilah’s market capitalisation prior to the announcement of the Kalkaroo Transaction, we consider that a higher discount is required to provide a sufficient incentive for investors to participate in any raisings that Havilah performs. We have analysed placement discounts for capital raisings in which the amount raised was more than 100% of the company’s market capitalisation at the time of raising and found that the median discount for ASX mining companies was 11.2% and the median across all placements on the ASX was 18.5%.

We have also assessed the discounts of capital raisings for companies with market capitalisations below $100 million (a band in which Havilah’s market capitalisation resides). The average (mean) discount across all ASX listed companies in this band was 17.4% with the median being 15.7%.

Given the above analysis and the size of the notional capital raising, we consider a placement discount in the range of 15% to 20% will be required to provide a sufficient incentive for investors to participate in any raisings that Havilah would conduct on the open market.

In Section 10.1.3.1 of our Report, we consider the QMP of Havilah’s shares. From this analysis, we assessed that the value of a Havilah Share to be between $0.17 and $0.19 on a minority basis. Applying a discount in the range of 15% to 20% to the assessed value of a Havilah Share prior to the announcement of the Kalkaroo Transaction results in an assumed notional capital raising price of between $0.136 and $0.162 per share.

The quoted market value of a company’s shares is reflective of a minority interest. A minority interest is an interest in a company that is not significant enough for the holder to have an individual influence in the operations and value of that company.

The table below outlines the number of new shares that will need to be issued in order to raise an equivalent of $452 million (inclusive of a placement fee) to provide funding to develop the Kalkaroo Project at between $0.136 and $0.162 per share.

Note that any debt raised will result in a cash injection (asset) and a corresponding increase in borrowings (liability), equating to a nil effect on the consolidated balance sheet, and therefore, nil effect on our Sum-of-Parts valuation.

10.1.3.1. Quoted market prices for Havilah Securities

To provide a basis for the value of shares associated with the notional capital raise, we have assessed the quoted market price for a Havilah Share.

Our analysis of the quoted market price of a Havilah Share is based on the pricing prior to the announcement of the Kalkaroo Transaction. This is because the value of a Havilah Share after the announcement may include the effects of any change in value as a result of the Kalkaroo Transaction.

Information on the Kalkaroo Transaction was announced to the market on 17 May 2022. Therefore, the following chart provides a summary of the share prices movements over the 12 months prior to 16 May 2022, which was the last trading day prior to the announcement.

The daily price of Havilah shares from 16 May 2021 to 16 May 2022 has ranged from a low of $0.155 on 23 December 2021 to a high of $0.285 on 18 May 2021. The daily volume of shares traded fluctuated largely over the year. The highest single trading day over the assessed period was on 14 January 2022, when 2,167,291 shares were traded.

To provide further analysis of the market prices for a Havilah Share, we have also considered the average market price for 10, 30, 60 and 90 day periods prior to 16 May 2022.

The above weighted average prices are prior to the date of the announcement of the Kalkaroo Transaction, to avoid the influence of any increase in price of Havilah shares that has occurred since the Kalkaroo Transaction was announced.

Our assessment is that a range of values for Havilah shares based on market pricing, after disregarding post announcement pricing, is between $0.170 and $0.190.

10.1.4. Present value of corporate costs

The Adjusted Model does not include corporate costs. Therefore, we have deducted the present value of corporate costs separately in our Sum-of-Parts valuation. This assessment of Havilah’s forecast corporate costs is based on historical corporate costs incurred by the Company as well as an assessment of the corporate costs incurred by comparable companies. We have considered the corporate costs of comparable companies because we would expect that the corporate costs of Havilah are likely to increase once the Company commences production at Kalkaroo, therefore the historical level of corporate costs incurred are unlikely to reflect the future corporate costs to be incurred. The comparable companies selected for our analysis are companies of similar size, scale, and nature of operations to those operations that are included in the forecast of Kalkaroo. A summary of the companies selected, and the average corporate costs incurred over the most recent reporting periods are set out below.

Source: BDO analysis

Based on the analysis above, we have assessed the level of corporate costs to be incurred by Havilah over the Kalkaroo Project life of mine to be between $3 million and $4 million on a real basis. We have applied our assessed forecast inflation rate for Australia of 3% per annum to the above real corporate costs and have discounted these costs at the Company’s assessed WACC of 11%, the workings of which are detailed in Appendix 3.

We have also reduced the corporate cost cash flows to incorporate the tax shield received by Havilah on incurring these corporate costs.

Based on the above, we consider the present value of corporate costs to be in the range of $18.23 million and $24.31 million.

10.1.5. Carrying value of Kalkaroo Project

In assessing the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction we have eliminated the exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of the Kalkaroo Project carried on Havilah’s consolidated balance sheet at 31 January 2022 of $18.92 million. This is due to the equity value of the Kalkaroo Development (see Section 10.1.1.4) and the valuation of the Kalkaroo mineral resources not included in the Kalkaroo Development (see Section 10.1.2) together representing the total value of the Kalkaroo Project.

This provides a consistent base value for measuring the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share across the alternatives being considered by Shareholders.

10.1.6. Number of Havilah Shares on issue

11. Incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option

As discussed in Section 9, in our assessment of the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, we have considered the Completion Payment and funding during the Alliance Period of the Kalkaroo Transaction.

Where OZE exercises the Kalkaroo Option, the resulting incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share is set out below:

Source: BDO analysis

The table above indicates that the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction, upon exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, is $0.645.

11.1 Investment from OZE during the Alliance Period

As discussed in Section 4 of our Report, OZE intends to invest up to $76 million during the Alliance Period.

Pursuant to the Strategic Alliance agreement OZE will provide funding to Havilah of up to $18 million during the Alliance Period, at least half of which will be directed towards exploration for new copper deposits.

Pursuant to OZL’s announcement to the ASX released on 17 May 2022, OZE expects to invest up to an additional $58 million into the Kalkaroo Project (in addition to the Upfront Investment) with the aim of confirming and expanding existing mineral resources and optimizing project scale and value. OZL may elect to withdraw at any time and its only obligation will be to pay the drilling shortfall payment. In the event of the exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, the value associated with this expenditure will be disposed of with the Kalkaroo Project.

We consider, in the event of exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, the Upfront Investment will directly add value to the net assets of Havilah. For the purposes of our Report, we have assessed this value as $18 million.

11.2 Cash received from sale of Kalkaroo Project

As discussed in Section 4 of our Report, in exercising the Kalkaroo Option, OZE will purchase 100% of the Kalkaroo Project for $205 million in cash.

45

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

11.3 Carrying value of Kalkaroo Project

The carrying value of the Kalkaroo Project on the consolidated balance sheet of Havilah at 31 January 2022 of $18.92 million has been deducted in this scenario as, where the Kalkaroo Option is exercised, the Kalkaroo Project is disposed of.

11.4 Contingent Consideration

As discussed in Section 4 of our Report, in the scenario where the Kalkaroo Option is exercised, the Kalkaroo Transaction includes a Contingent Consideration.

Upon exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, and certain milestones being achieved as specified in the asset sale agreement, the Contingent Consideration, which consists of the Resource Payment and the Revenue Payment, may be payable by OZE to Havilah. Details of the Contingent Consideration are outlined in Section 4 of our Report.

An incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share will result upon receipt of any or all of the Contingent Consideration. The incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share based upon receipt of the maximum Contingent Consideration is detailed in the table below.

The table above indicates that the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share upon receipt of the maximum Contingent Consideration, would be $0.21 in respect of the Resource Payment and $0.43 in respect of the Revenue Payment. These represent additional value that may flow to Shareholders over and above the incremental increase in value of $0.645 per share arising under the scenario of the exercise of the Kalkaroo Option.

11.5 Non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option

In our assessment of the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction, we have also considered the non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option.

As detailed in Section 4 of our Report, OZE intends to invest up to $76 million during the Alliance Period, regardless of the exercise or non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option.

We consider, in the event of non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, the investment of up to $76 million from OZE will directly add value to the net assets of Havilah, either as cash or exploration and evaluation assets.

Upon the non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, the Kalkaroo Project remains an asset held by Havilah, and continues to be available for development by Havilah.

We note from the table above that the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share following the Kalkaroo Transaction and exercise of the Kalkaroo Option, is greater than the incremental increase in value of a Havilah Share prior to the Kalkaroo Transaction based upon development of the Kalkaroo Project.

Therefore, we consider that the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair.

13. Is the Kalkaroo Transaction reasonable?

13.1 Alternative Proposal

We are unaware of any alternative proposal that might offer the Shareholders a premium over the value resulting from the Kalkaroo Transaction.

13.2 Consequences of not Approving the Kalkaroo Transaction

Consequences

If the Kalkaroo Transaction is not approved, Havilah will have to reassess its funding options and recommence the funding process for the exploration and development of the Kalkaroo Project. In Section 10 we have outlined funding requirements for Havilah to develop the Kalkaroo Project. There is no certainty that the Company will be successful in obtaining the funding it requires to fund development of the Kalkaroo Project through to definitive feasibility study stage. Furthermore, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to successfully secure alternative funding under terms that are superior to those under the Kalkaroo Transaction.

Potential impact on share price

We have analysed movements in the Havilah Share price since the Proposed Transaction was announced. A graph of the Havilah Share price and trading volume leading up to and following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction is set out below.

The closing price of a Havilah Share from 3 January 2022 to 7 July 2022 ranged from a low of $0.160 on 13 May 2022 to a high of $0.310 on 6 June 2022.

The Proposed Transaction was announced on 17 May 2022. On the date the Proposed Transaction was announced the share price closed at $0.305, up from a closing price of $0.170 on the previous trading day. On that day, 12,724,115 shares were traded, representing 4% of Havilah’s current issued capital. Following

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, the daily share price has fluctuated from a low of $0.230 on 23 June 2022 to a high of $0.310 on 6 June 2022.

Should the Proposed Transaction not be approved, there is a risk that the Havilah Share may fall back to pre-announcement levels.

13.3 Advantages of approving the Kalkaroo Transaction

We have considered the following advantages when assessing whether the Kalkaroo Transaction is reasonable.

13.3.1. The Kalkaroo Transaction is fair

As set out in Section 12, the Kalkroo Transaction is fair to Shareholders.

13.3.2. Non-dilutive source of funding for current exploration activities

During the Alliance Period OZE will pay Havilah the Upfront Investment. Havilah must direct 50% of the Upfront Investment to activities aimed at the discovery, location and delineation of copper dominant mineralisation and work relating to possible development and exploration of minerals within certain areas of the Curnamona Province as specified in the Strategic Alliance agreement. This provides Havilah with immediate cash funding to invest into its current program of exploration projects.

The current volatile and subdued state of the markets within which Havilah is operating means that trying to source comparable funding through equity raisings would be significantly dilutive to current Shareholders.

13.3.3. Opportunity to develop a strategic partnership with OZL

Through undertaking the Proposed Transaction with OZL, Havilah has the ability to develop a strategic alliance with OZL, and benefit from OZL’s world class mine design expertise and demonstrably ethical, responsible and sustainable mining and exploration activities.

13.3.4. Provides non-dilutive funding to explore value of other projects

In the event the Kalkaroo Transaction is approved by Shareholders, and the Kalkaroo Option is exercised by OZE, Havilah will receive $205 million cash consideration in addition to the amount payable to Havilah during the Alliance Period of up to $18 million. This is a substantial cash injection that will provide a wide variety of options for Shareholders to potentially benefit.

In the current volatile and subdued global markets, equity funding may become harder to source and therefore may pose dilutionary affects to Shareholders if equity funding is required in the short to medium term. The same volatile and subdued markets, there will also present opportunities to enforce an acquisition strategy in exploration projects that may hold value for long term investors who can afford to fund exploration activities through a potential downcycle.

49

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

13.3.5. Removal of risks associated with developing the Kalkaroo Project

Current volatility in commodities markets and project development risks such as funding issues and inflationary impact on construction costs are some of the ongoing risks and issues that Havilah will face when attempting to develop the Kalkaroo Project to unlock its potential value. If the Kalkaroo Transaction is approved and the Kalkaroo Option is exercised by OZE, Shareholders will no longer be exposed to the current risks and issues that come with holding the Kalkaroo Project.

13.3.6. Opportunity to receive Contingent Consideration

The consideration structure of the Kalkaroo Transaction consists of the following:

  • Cash received during the Alliance Period;

  • Completion Payment of $205 million cash received on exercise of Kalkaroo Option;

  • Contingent Consideration of up to $200 million cash to be received upon achievement of certain milestones at the Kalkaroo Project.

Given that we have assessed receipt of cash from the Kalkaroo Option as fair to Shareholders, any Contingent Consideration received is beneficial to Shareholders and provides additional potential upside to Shareholders.

13.3.7. Provides non-dilutive funding for Kalkaroo exploration activities upon non-exercise of Kalkaroo Option

In the event the Kalkaroo Transaction is approved by Shareholders, OZL’s announcement to the ASX released on 17 May 2022 indicates OZE expects to invest up to an additional $58 million into the Kalkaroo Project (in addition to the Upfront Investment) with the aim of confirming and expanding existing mineral resources and optimizing project scale and value. OZL may elect to withdraw at any time and its only obligation will be to pay the drilling shortfall payment. Upon the non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option Havilah retains the data and the value of OZE’s investment in Kalkaroo and continues to hold the opportunity to develop the Kalkaroo Project.

Our consideration of non-exercise of the Kalkaroo Option is in Section 11.5.

13.4 Disadvantages of Approving the Kalkaroo Transaction

We have considered the following disadvantages when assessing whether the Kalkaroo Transaction is reasonable.

13.4.1. Shareholders’ risk profile may change

Current Shareholders hold their Havilah Shares for the exposure to the Kalkaroo Project. If the Kalkaroo Project is sold to OZE, current Shareholders may look to offload their Havilah Shares if the risk profile of Havilah changes significantly to the point where Shareholders do not wish to be exposed to Havilah’s updated business operations.

14. Conclusion

Given that Shareholders are required to vote on one resolution regarding approval of the Kalkaroo Transaction, we outline a single opinion for the Kalkaroo Transaction.

We have considered the terms of the Kalkaroo Transaction as outlined in the body of this Report and have concluded that, in the absence of a superior offer and any other relevant information, the Kalkaroo Transaction is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, the Shareholders.

APPENDIX 2 – VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

Methodologies commonly used for valuing assets and businesses are as follows:

1 Net asset value (‘NAV’)

Asset based methods estimate the market value of an entity’s securities based on the realisable value of its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:

  • Orderly realisation of assets method

  • Liquidation of assets method

  • Net assets on a going concern method

The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the amount that would be distributed to entity holders, after payment of all liabilities including realisation costs and taxation charges that arise, assuming the entity is wound up in an orderly manner.

The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the entity may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form may not be appropriate. The net assets on a going concern method estimates the market values of the net assets of an entity but does not take into account any realisation costs.

Net assets on a going concern basis are usually appropriate where the majority of assets consist of cash, passive investments or projects with a limited life. All assets and liabilities of the entity are valued at market value under this alternative and this combined market value forms the basis for the entity’s valuation.

Often the FME and DCF methodologies are used in valuing assets forming part of the overall Net assets on a going concern basis. This is particularly so for exploration and mining companies where investments are in finite life producing assets or prospective exploration areas.

These asset based methods ignore the possibility that the entity’s value could exceed the realisable value of its assets as they do not recognise the value of intangible assets such as management, intellectual property and goodwill. Asset based methods are appropriate when an entity is not making an adequate return on its assets, a significant proportion of the entity’s assets are liquid or for asset holding companies.

2 Quoted Market Price Basis (‘QMP’)

A valuation approach that can be used in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) other valuation methods is the quoted market price of listed securities. Where there is a ready market for securities such as the ASX, through which shares are traded, recent prices at which shares are bought and sold can be taken as the market value per share. Such market value includes all factors and influences that impact upon the ASX. The use of ASX pricing is more relevant where a security displays regular high volume trading, creating a liquid and active market in that security.

58

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

3 Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘FME’)

This method places a value on the business by estimating the likely FME, capitalised at an appropriate rate which reflects business outlook, business risk, investor expectations, future growth prospects and other entity specific factors. This approach relies on the availability and analysis of comparable market data.

The FME approach is the most commonly applied valuation technique and is particularly applicable to profitable businesses with relatively steady growth histories and forecasts, regular capital expenditure requirements and non-finite lives.

The FME used in the valuation can be based on net profit after tax or alternatives to this such as earnings before interest and tax (‘ EBIT ’) or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘ EBITDA ’). The capitalisation rate or ‘earnings multiple’ is adjusted to reflect which base is being used for FME.

4 Discounted future cash flows (‘DCF’)

The DCF methodology is based on the generally accepted theory that the value of an asset or business depends on its future net cash flows, discounted to their present value at an appropriate discount rate (often called the weighted average cost of capital). This discount rate represents an opportunity cost of capital reflecting the expected rate of return which investors can obtain from investments having equivalent risks.

Considerable judgement is required to estimate the future cash flows which must be able to be reliably estimated for a sufficiently long period to make this valuation methodology appropriate.

A terminal value for the asset or business is calculated at the end of the future cash flow period and this is also discounted to its present value using the appropriate discount rate.

DCF valuations are particularly applicable to businesses with limited lives, experiencing growth, that are in a start up phase, or experience irregular cash flows.

5 Market Based Assessment

The market based approach seeks to arrive at a value for a business by reference to comparable transactions involving the sale of similar businesses. This is based on the premise that companies with similar characteristics, such as operating in similar industries, command similar values. In performing this analysis it is important to acknowledge the differences between the comparable companies being analysed and the company that is being valued and then to reflect these differences in the valuation.

59

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

APPENDIX 3 – DISCOUNT RATE ASSESSMENT

Determining the correct discount rate, or cost of capital, for a business requires the identification and consideration of a number of factors that affect the returns and risks of a business, as well as the application of widely used accepted methodologies for determining the returns of a business.

The discount rate applied to the forecast cash flow from a business represents the financial return that will be required before an investor would be prepared to acquire (or invest in) the business.

The capital asset pricing model (‘ CAPM’ ) is commonly used in determining the market rates of return for equity type investments and project evaluations. In determining a business’ weighted average cost of capital ( ‘WACC’ ) the CAPM results are combined with the cost of debt funding. WACC represents the return required on the project, whilst CAPM provides the required return on an equity investment.

In valuing Kalkaroo Development, we consider the most appropriate discount rate to apply to the respective projects’ cash flows is the WACC, being the return required on the business. This is because we are assessing Havilah Resources’ 100% interest in the Kalkaroo Development on a project level from which the cash flows are based on.

Cost of Equity and Capital Asset Pricing Model

CAPM is based on the theory that a rational investor would price an investment so that the expected return is equal to the risk free rate of return plus an appropriate premium for risk. CAPM assumes that there is a positive relationship between risk and return, that is, investors are risk averse and demand a higher return for accepting a higher level of risk.

CAPM calculates the cost of equity and is calculated as follows:

CAPM
Ke = Rf+ β x (Rm- Rf) + α
Where:
Ke = expected equity investment return or cost of equity in nominal terms
Rf = risk free rate of return
Rm = expected market risk premium
Rm- Rf = market risk premium
β = equity beta
α = inherent risk adjustment

The individual components of CAPM are discussed below:

Risk Free Rate (Rf)

The risk free rate is normally approximated by reference to a long term government bond with a maturity equivalent to the timeframe over which the returns from the assets are expected to be received.

We have considered the current and implied forward yields for the 10-year Australian Government Bond yield. Based on our analysis, we have adopted a long term estimate of the 10-year Australian Government Bond Yield of 3.00%

60

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Market Risk Premium (Rm – Rf)

The market risk premium represents the additional return that investors expect from an investment in a well-diversified portfolio of assets. It is common to use a historical risk premium, as expectations are not observable in practice. In order to determine an appropriate market risk premium in Australia, we analysed historical data. Our sample of data included the daily historical market risk premiums in Australia over the last ten years, from May 2012 to May 2022. Our research indicated the market risk premium in Australia has ranged from a low of 5.07% to a high of 11.78%.

The market risk premium is derived on the basis of capital weighted average return of all members of the S&P 200 Index minus the risk free rate, which is dependent on the 10-year Australian Government Bond rate.

The graph above illustrates the frequency of observations of the Australian market risk premium over the past ten years. The graph indicates that a high proportion of the sample data for Australian risk premium lie in the range of 6% to 8%. This is supported by long term historical average market risk premium of between 6% and 8%, which is commonly used in practice. For the purpose of our report we have adopted a market risk premium of between 6% and 8%.

Equity beta

Beta is a measure of the expected correlation of an investment’s return over and above the risk free rate, relative to the return over and above the risk free rate of the market as a whole; a beta greater than one implies that an investment’s return will outperform the market’s average return in a bullish market and underperform the market’s average return in a bearish market. On the other hand, a beta less than one implies that the business’ will underperform the market’s average return in a bullish market and outperform the market’s average return in a bearish market.

Equity betas are normally either a historical beta or an adjusted beta. The historical beta is obtained from the linear regression of a stock’s historical data and is based on the observed relationship between the security’s return and the returns on an index. An adjusted beta is calculated based on the assumption that the relative risk of the past will continue into the future, and is hence derived from historical data. It is then modified by the assumption that a stock will move towards the market over time, taking into

61

==> picture [77 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

consideration the industry risk factors which make the operating risk of the company greater or less risky than the comparable companies.

It is important to note that it is not possible to compare the equity betas of different companies without having regard to their gearing levels. This, a more valid analysis of betas can be achieved by “ungearing” the equity beta (βa) by applying the following formula:

βa = β / (1+D/E x (1=t))

In order to assess the appropriate equity beta for the Kalkaroo Development, we have had regard to the equity betas of listed companies with projects similar in nature to the Kalkaroo Project, with respect to commodity type and location. Our analysis includes exploration and development companies as well as companies in production. Given that Kalkaroo Project is likely to move into production in the medium term, we consider these companies to represent a reasonable basis on which to assess the discount rate. The geared betas below have been calculated against the S&P ASX All Ordinaries Index using weekly data over a three year period.

Selected Beta (β)

In selecting an appropriate equity beta for the Kalkaroo Development, we considered the similarities between the comparable companies selected above. The comparable similarities and differences are noted:

  • The comparable companies all have copper, copper-cobalt or copper-gold operations;

  • The operations of the comparable companies are all located in Australia;

  • The comparable companies’ mining and development assets have varying risk profiles depending on the assets maturity and stage of production; and

  • Companies such as OZ Minerals Limited and Sandfire Resources Limited operate on a significantly larger scale compared to Havilah Resources.

Having regard to the above, we consider an appropriate ungeared beta to apply to the Kalkaroo Development is between 1.0 and 1.1.

We note that Havilah’s debt to equity ratio as at 31 January 2022 was <1%, however, we have applied a forecast debt to equity ratio of 50% to regear the aforementioned beta. We consider a 50% debt to equity ratio reflective of the approximate capital structure of Havilah and its funding of the Kalkaroo Development.

We have based this assessment of a forecast capital structure based on our analysis of comparable company funding structures. The list of comparable companies contains a mix of copper and gold producers that funded the development of their projects through debt. Therefore, we have considered the capital structure of these companies as at the date of the initial drawdown of debt to derive an appropriate capital structure of Havilah when the Kalkaroo Project commences development.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital

The WACC represents the market return required on the total assets of the undertaking by debt and equity providers. WACC is used to assess the appropriate commercial rate of return on the capital invested in the business, acknowledging that normally funds invested consist of a mixture of debt and equity funds. Accordingly, the discount rate should reflect the proportionate levels of debt and equity relative to the level of security as risk attributable to the investment.

In calculating WACC there are a number of different formulae which are based on the definition of cash flows (i.e., pre-tax or post-tax), the treatment of the tax benefit arising through the deductibility of interest expenses (included in either the cash flow or discount rate), and the manner and extent to which they adjust for the effects of dividend imputation. The commonly used WACC formula is the post-tax WACC, without adjustment for dividend imputation, which is detailed in the table below:

WACC
WACC = Rf+ β x (Rm- Rf) + α
Where:
Ke = expected return or discount rate on equity
Kd = interest rate on debt (pre-tax)
T = corporate tax rate
E = market value of equity
D = Market value of debt
(1 – t) = tax adjustment

Cost of debt

We have assessed the relevant cost of debt for the Kalkaroo Development based on the terms of debt currently seen in the market for comparable companies at similar stages of development. Our analysis of comparable debt has provided us with comfort to consider an appropriate cost of debt of 10% per annum.

Calculation of WACC

Using the inputs above, we have calculated the WACC for the Kalkaroo Development as set out below:

Input Value Adopted
Low High
Cost of Equity (Ke) 11% 15%
Cost of Debt (Kd) 10% 10%
Proportion of Equity (E/E+D) 67% 67%
Proportion of Debt (D/E+D) 33% 33%
WACC 10% 12%

Kalkaroo – technical assumptions used in the Model

Kalkaroo is a metalliferous mining project located in the north-east of South Australia, approximately 90 km west of Broken Hill and 400 km north-east of Adelaide. Kalkaroo is scheduled for two years of construction and pre-stripping followed by an open pit mining operation and extracting 100 Mt of ore and 350 Mt waste over a fourteen-year period. Ore will be processed through an on-site plant with separate 4 Mtpa oxide and 7 Mtpa sulphide circuits to produce gold, coarse native copper, and copper-gold concentrate products.

The Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve for Kalkaroo were reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code[2] . Dr Chris Giles of Havilah has most recently accepted responsibility as the Competent Person, as defined by the JORC Code, for both the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource and the Ore Reserve.

In providing its opinion on Kalkaroo, AMC used information provided by Havilah, including the December 2017 pre-feasibility study (PFS) prepared by independent consultants on behalf of Wanbao Mining Limited, under an agreement with Havilah. AMC has reviewed the data provided by Havilah for reasonableness and adjusted the information provided to BDO where AMC considers adjustment is appropriate.

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve

The Kalkaroo Mineral Resource contains 224 Mt of copper-gold (Table I). The Inferred Mineral Resource for the cobalt sulphide has been estimated separately within the copper-gold Mineral Resource and has not been added to the total tonnage. The Mineral Resource is inclusive of the Kalkaroo Ore Reserve of 100 Mt (Table II).

Geology

The Kalkaroo deposit is hosted by Proterozoic age rock of the Willyama Supergroup in the Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province. The primary mineralization consists predominantly of chalcopyrite, pyrite, molybdenite, cobalt, and gold, in both replacement and vein styles. The mineralization has been weathered to approximately 150 m below surface.

Mineral Resource estimation

The mineralization has been defined by drilling methods that are standard across the mining industry. Recognised mining industry software has been used to validate geological data for issues such as consistency and overlaps.

Assay quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols were in place that included certified reference material, blanks and duplicate assays. QA/QC submission rates are considered by AMC to be reasonable, although not always to accepted industry practice. Results of the available QA/QC data suggests anomalies within the data were either not present, have been addressed, or were not considered material to the Mineral Resource estimation.

In AMC’s opinion, the geological interpretation and overprinted domaining is appropriate for the estimation. Grade estimation uses internationally recognized processes. Validation included visual checks and swath plots, and estimation by two methods.

Classification of the Mineral Resource is based on drilling density and classifications within a re-blocked resource model to provide continuous envelopes with similar confidence levels.

AMC considers that the Mineral Resource estimate classification, given the geometry of the geology and the drillhole data densities, is reasonable. The estimates were appropriately classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources in accordance with the JORC Code. AMC broadly concurs with the Mineral Resource classification.

Geotechnical and hydrogeological assessment

The deeply weathered rock has significant implications for open pit slope design. Experience with mining at Havilah’s Portia Mine has informed the slope design criteria that has been determined for the Namba Formation and the saprolite.

The groundwater is at approximately 50 m below surface with total dissolved solids of 22,000 ppm. Groundwater studies predict that dewatering will produce 9.7 to 15.5 Megalitre/day, of which processing will consume 80%. The remaining 20% will be used for dust suppression and lost to evaporation. Dewatering is considered critical for pit wall stability.

Mine plan

The proposed mine is a conventional truck and excavator bulk mining operation, utilising 5 m benches for ore and 10 m benches for waste. The Namba Formation and saprolite are expected to be free dig. Drill-and-blast will be used in transition and fresh rock.

The open pit is designed in six stages with the initial stage starting at Kalkaroo West. The ultimate pit is planned to be 3.5 km long by 0.9 km wide with a depth of 280 m.

The Kalkaroo open pit plan is to mine approximately 452 Mt over a fourteen-year period. Following the initial pre-strip in Year-1, the mine plan establishes a relatively constant mining rate of 42 Mtpa until Year-9, after which the planned mining rate decreases as Stage 6 is the only pit being mined.

During the initial four years of production the processing plant is designed to treat 4 Mt of oxide ore per year to recover concentrates containing approximately 60 koz per year of gold and 11 kt of copper per year. A sulphide processing plant added in year five is designed to increase processing throughput to 11 Mtpa. The combined production of the two plants results in a planned production of 80 koz of gold per year and 40 kt of copper per year.

Processing

Kalkaroo is proposed to include two processing circuits for treating mined ore:

  • A 4 Mtpa oxide processing circuit to treat blends of Saprolite, Native copper and Chalcocite ores. This processing circuit will commence production in Year-2. The Chalcocite ore will only have a maximum throughput of 2 Mtpa in this plant.

  • A 7 Mtpa sulphide processing circuit to treat blends of Chalcocite and Chalcopyrite ores. This processing circuit will commence production in Year 5 of operations.

The oxide processing circuit is designed to produce a native copper product and a separate gold concentrate using gravity circuits. A gold-rich copper concentrate will also be produced using a flotation circuit. The sulphide processing plant will produce a gravity gold concentrate and a gold-rich copper flotation concentrate.

The concentrate will be transported in containers from the Mutooroo siding to Port Pirie, from where it will be shipped to China for smelting and refining.

Infrastructure

The proposed infrastructure additional to the processing plant and administration facilities includes:

  • A diversion channel to divert water flowing north in an ephemeral creek around the open pit site.

  • A 200-person camp to accommodate fly-in-fly-out employees from Adelaide and drive-indrive-out employees from Broken Hill.

  • The use of the Honeymoon Mine airstrip.

  • A power supply, as either on-site diesel or renewable generation, or connection to the national electricity grid at Silverton.

  • A tailings storage facility.

Ore Reserve

AMC considers the PFS report provided to AMC on Kalkaroo, which underpins the modifying factors used in the Ore Reserve estimate, is reasonable and complies with the definition of a pre-feasibility study as defined in the JORC Code. AMC also considers that the Ore Reserve estimation methodology is reasonable, and the Ore Reserve was classified and reported during the PFS in accordance with the JORC Code.

AMC considers the production schedule to be reasonable. AMC escalated the operating expenditure and capital expenditure from the December 2017 cost basis of the PFS to a June 2022 cost basis for AMC’s recommendation to BDO for adjustments to the Model using a rise and fall formula and typical mining industry cost indices.

Costs

The estimated Kalkaroo capital costs in the PFS are based on work carried out at a prefeasibility study level, and AMC considers them to be based on reasonable grounds. AMC has escalated capital costs from the PFS using a rise and fall formula consisting of changes in the movement of indices between December 2017 (PFS cost basis) and June 2022, relating to:

  • Labour costs (Australian Bureau of Statistics wage price index) – 20% weighting.

  • Diesel prices (https://fleetautonews.com.au/historical-pump-prices-in-australia/) – 5% weighting.

  • Materials costs (Australian Bureau of Statistics consumer price index) – 75% weighting.

  • Exchange rate movements (Reserve Bank of Australia exchange rates) – 7.4% impact on material costs.

This resulted in an estimated 23% increase in capital costs from December 2017 to June 2022, with AMC’s revised estimate for Kalkaroo capital costs in the first five years of A$644 million, the remaining life-of-mine of A$148 million and mine closure over four years of A$51 million.

AMC has escalated operating costs using a similar rise and fall formula, with different weightings, consisting of changes in the movement of indices between December 2017 (PFS cost basis) and June 2022, relating to:

  • Labour costs (Australian Bureau of Statistics wage price index) – 30% weighting.

  • Parts prices (Australian Bureau of Statistics producer price index) – weighting 35%.

  • Diesel prices (https://fleetautonews.com.au/historical-pump-prices-in-australia/) – 10% weighting.

  • Materials costs (Australian Bureau of Statistics consumer price index) – 10% weighting.

  • Percentage of work not subject to rise and fall – 15%.

This resulted in an estimated 21% increase in operating costs from December 2017 to June 2022, with AMC’s revised estimate for Kalkaroo operating costs over the life-of-mine of A$35.76/t of ore processed.

AMC’s adjusted estimates of unit operating costs (inclusive of contingency) over the life of the mine are:

  • Mining, A$2.30/t of ore and waste.

  • Processing, A$13.47/t of ore processed.

  • General and administration (G&A), A$3.96/t of ore processed (after adjustment).

  • Concentrate selling cost, transport, smelting and royalty, A$7.97/t of ore processed.

  • Total operating cost of A$35.76/t of ore processed.

Mining unit operating costs were at the lower end of expectations when benchmarked against comparable open pit operations, primarily due to the large proportion of free dig material. G&A operating costs were also at the lower end of expectations when benchmarked against comparable open pit operations, and in AMC’s opinion, would not account for the full cost of operating a remote site. The inputs provided by AMC to BDO include AMC’s adjusted G&A cost estimate.

Project economic assumptions

The PFS’s project economics are based on:

  • The Ore Reserve only.

  • An Australian dollar (A$) to United States dollar (US$) exchange rate of 0.75.

  • A copper price of US$2.90/lb, (A$8,510/t).

  • A gold price of US$1,200/oz, (A$1,600/oz).

  • A copper payability factor of 96% and a gold payability factor of 93%.

AMC considers that forecast metal prices used for the IER are likely to be significantly higher than used in the PFS. AMC estimated the copper-only (without contribution of gold revenue) break-even marginal cut-off grade (considers only the cost of processing) using parameters from the PFS and using recent spot metal prices and the escalated operating costs as discussed above. Break-even marginal cut-off grades were approximately 0.12% Cu for the PFS assumptions, and 0.11% Cu using recent spot metal prices and escalated operating costs. Given the small difference between the calculated cut-off grades, AMC considers that no adjustments need to be made based on cut-off grade.

AMC considers that the Model provided by Havilah to AMC is generally reasonable and indicates that Kalkaroo, under PFS assumptions, is economic.

The timing for commencing development of Kalkaroo will depend on the ability of the project owner to obtain finance to advance development. Some government approvals, such as a programme for environment protection and rehabilitation are also required. Once approved, tendering for construction is expected to take three months and development of Kalkaroo (engineering design and construction period) is planned to take a further18 months.

AMC notes an underestimate in the Model of approximately 29 koz compared with the gold production in the processing schedule. AMC has included this additional contained metal in the adjustments to Model recommended by AMC to BDO.

AMC’s recommended adjustments to the Model

AMC’s recommendations to BDO for adjustments to the Model are:

  • Increase in recoverable gold by 29 koz to align with the Havilah processing schedule

  • Increased allowance for G&A to reflect the cost of operating a remote site

  • Escalation of operating and capital costs from a December 2017 basis to a June 2022 basis

The physical, operating cost, and capital cost inputs for the life-of-mine, after having applied AMC’s recommendations for adjustments to the Model are shown in Table III.

Assessment of the reasonableness of the technical assumptions for a scenario with 30% or more increase in Kalkaroo’s Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources

AMC expects that a 30% or more increase, based on in situ copper tonnes, in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of Kalkaroo when compared with the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of Kalkaroo as stated in the Havilah's announcement dated 30 January 2018, having taken into account any depletion of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources due to mining activities as referred to above could potentially be achieved as a result of:

  • Conversion of current Inferred Mineral Resource to Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources.
vii
amcconsultants.com
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008
  • New resource extensions, subject to those extension achieving Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources classification.

  • Improvements in technology.

The value attributable to such an increase would be dependent on the quality (grade and metallurgical characteristics) and location of the additional Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources.

An increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources from conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources is unlikely to generate material value as the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources are at the margins of the deposit and at depth. AMC, therefore, considers that an increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources from conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources would have no impact on the mine life.

An increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources that might result from identification of extensions to known areas of mineralization or from discovery of a new area of mineralization on the Kalkaroo tenements might add to mine life. However, any increment in project value is highly dependent on the quality of such increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and the associated cost of extraction.

Due to the nature and economics of mining, not all of a Mineral Resource can usually be economically mined and can therefore be converted to an Ore Reserve. The PFS resulted in estimation of an Ore Reserve of 100 Mt from a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 114 Mt, a conversion rate of 88%. AMC, therefore, considers that a reasonably likely best-case scenario is that a proportion of the additional Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource might be converted to additional economic inventory in the mine plan, and therefore, a mine life extension.

However, prior to undertaking further work such as drilling, it is not possible to estimate an addition, if any, to the Measured and Indicated Resource that might result from that further work. Consequently, AMC considers that there is not a reasonable basis to assess the technical assumptions that would apply to a scenario with a 30% increase in Measured and Indicated Resources, as referred to above, that might result from further work.

Valuation of the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource not included in the Model

AMC considers that the Mineral Resource at Kalkaroo that is not included in the Model to be an exploration asset. Estimates of that Mineral Resource were prepared using recognized processes with drillhole data supported by a QA/QC protocol consummate with their level of Mineral Resource classification. The Mineral Resource estimates were appropriately classified as Measured, Indicated, and Inferred in accordance with the JORC Code. AMC broadly concurs with the Mineral Resource classifications.

The methods considered by AMC in this ITSR for valuation of the Mineral Resource not included in the Model include:

  • The Yardstick Value method.

  • Actual Transaction method.

  • Comparable Transaction method.

The valuation methods used by AMC, based on the available information, are appropriate for the nature of the Kalkaroo deposit and the amount of exploration carried out on Kalkaroo. The part of the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource reported as at July 2018 that has not been included in the Model amounts to approximately 55% of the total Mineral Resource on a tonnage basis.

AMC’s valuation of the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource that has not been included in the Model determined by the Yardstick Value method is between A$9.0 million and A$29.3 million with a preferred value of A$19.0 million. The range of values is due to the range of values per unit of

viii
amcconsultants.com

metal from the comparable transactions applied to the large tonnage of Inferred Mineral Resource. However, AMC considers the range of values to be reasonable. The preferred value determined from the Yardstick Value method is supported by the check valuation from the Past Expenditure method.

1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of this report

The Directors of Havilah Resources Ltd (Havilah) have appointed BDO Corporate Finance (SA) Pty Ltd (BDO) to prepare an Independent Expert Report as defined by the VALMIN Code[3] in relation to the grant of an option to OZ Exploration Pty Ltd (OZ Exploration) to purchase Havilah’s Kalkaroo Copper Gold Project (Kalkaroo).

AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (AMC), as a Specialist as defined in the VALMIN Code has prepared this independent technical Specialist’s report (ITSR) with information provided by Havilah. AMC was engaged by and is being paid by Havilah. AMC has taken instruction from and provides this ITSR to BDO for use by BDO in preparing its IER. AMC is advised that the ITSR will be included in full as an appendix to BDO’s IER that will form part of a notice of meeting to be sent by Havilah to its shareholders in relation to the proposed transaction.

1.2 Scope of work

AMC’s scope of work for the ITSR, per BDO’s instructions is to:

  • Review the technical project assumptions of Kalkaroo and provide an opinion as to the reasonableness (within a range if necessary) of each of the assumptions used in the cash flow model (Model) including:

  • ⎯ Resources and reserves.

  • ⎯ Mining physicals.

  • ⎯ Processing physicals.

  • ⎯ Production and operating costs.

  • ⎯ Capital expenditure.

  • Assist BDO with an assessment of the reasonableness of the assumptions for a scenario in which OZ Exploration or a related entity delineates and reports a 30% or more increase, based on in situ copper tonnes, in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of Kalkaroo when compared with the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources in respect of Kalkaroo as stated in the Havilah's announcement dated 30 January 2018, having taken into account any depletion of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources due to mining activities.

  • Provide an opinion as to the value of the Kalkaroo current Mineral Resource not in Model.

The ITSR must be prepared in compliance with:

  • Appropriate industry codes - the VALMIN Code, the JORC Code[4]

  • Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guide 111 (RG 111) on content of expert reports.

  • ASIC RG 112 on independence of experts.

The ITSR was a desktop study based on a review of documents provided by Havilah, discussion with Havilah personnel, and publicly available information.

In providing its opinion on Kalkaroo, AMC has used information provided by Havilah, including information from the 2018 pre-feasibility study (PFS) and Havilah Australian Securities Exchange

3 The Australasian Code for the Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral Assets. The VALMIN Code 2015 Edition. The VALMIN Code has been prepared by the VALMIN Committee, a joint committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Mineral Industry Consultants Association.

(ASX) releases dated 7 March 2018 (‘NEW COBALT RESOURCE AT KALKAROO’) and 18 June 2018 (‘KALKAROO MAIDEN ORE RESERVE CONFIRMS LARGE COPPER PROJECT’).

The 18 June 2018 ASX release stated that the PFS was prepared by independent consultants RPMGlobal Asia Ltd (RPM) in December 2017 on behalf of Wanbao Mining Limited, under an agreement with Havilah. Dr Chris Giles of Havilah accepted responsibility as the Competent Person, as defined by the JORC Code, for Kalkaroo Mineral Resources stated in the 7 March 2018 ASX release. Mr Igor Bojanic of RPM Advisory Services Pty Ltd is stated to be the Competent Person, as defined by the JORC Code, for the Kalkaroo Ore Reserves in the 18 June 2018 ASX release.

AMC did not undertake a site visit. Data provided by Havilah was comprehensive and detailed, including photographs of sites and drill core. Other than drilling, there has been no intrusive activity on the relevant tenements. AMC deemed that with the available data, there was no additional benefit to be had from a site visit.

1.3 Project location and description

Kalkaroo is a metalliferous open pit mining project scheduled to extract 100 Mt of ore and 350 Mt waste over a fourteen-year period. Construction and pre-stripping is scheduled for two years. Ore will be processed on site through a plant with separate 4 Mtpa oxide and 7 Mtpa sulphide circuits to produce gold, coarse native copper, and copper-gold concentrate products.

Kalkaroo is located in north-east South Australia approximately 90 km west of Broken Hill and 400 km north-east of Adelaide (see Figure 1.1). The project is accessed via the Barrier Highway and the Kalkaroo Access Road north from Mingary.

No annual expenditure is required on the MLs or MPLs. Havilah provided AMC with receipts for the annual rates and fees that confirm the SARIG data. The final date for submission of the PEPR agreed with the DEM 31 August 2022.

Havilah also advised AMC that there are no bonds or liabilities on the tenements. However, Havilah has a commitment to repay Glencore Australia Ltd A$7 million from production. This is not indexed, and this is not part of the proposed transaction with OZ Exploration.

Mineral Claim (MC) 3828 is also a consideration for the proposed transaction as a Mineral Claim. Expenditure commitments fall under the exploration licence (EL) that hosts the MC. This MC is currently under application by Havilah.

Kalkaroo is situated on three mining leases (MLs) within exploration licence (EL) 6659. The MLs relevant to the Kalkaroo deposit are ML6498, ML6499, ML6500, as shown in Figure 1.2.

Havilah acquired the exploration licence from the Placer MIM joint venture in 2004, compiled the previous data and drilled out a 70 Mt copper-gold resource. In 2007 to 2010 an open pit feasibility study was funded by Glencore Limited (Glencore) who elected not to proceed with development. From 2010 to 2022, Havilah continued with further drilling and resource evaluation work on Kalkaroo.

In 2017, the Mineral Resource was re-estimated to include new drilling data and Havilah signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Wanbao Mining Limited to fund the PFS. This PFS resulted in a maiden Ore Reserve being released on 18 June 2018, coincident with the expiry of the MOU.

In 2019, Havilah released the findings of the PFS. The PFS was originally completed for Wanbao Mining Limited. The Kalkaroo Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation was lodged with the South Australian Government in March 2021 for assessment and approval.

Havilah advises that further rounds of drilling and metallurgical test work were undertaken since the PFS, some of which were reported to the ASX, but have not been included in technical work for an updated PFS or mine plan or provided to AMC.

2 Geology and Mineral Resources

2.1 Geology

2.1.1 Project morphology

Kalkaroo is within the Barrier Range outwash zone, north of the Olary Ranges. Climate is semiarid. Topography across the site is generally flat with a surface between 118 m RL and 121 m RL, and a with a gradient of 1:1000 north towards Lake Frome. The site is intersected by an ephemeral creek running north towards Lake Frome within the Lake Eyre catchment.

2.1.2 Project geology

Kalkaroo is hosted in Proterozoic age rocks of the Willyama Supergroup within the in the Olary Domain of Curnamona Province. The Proterozoic rocks are overlain by Tertiary sediments of the Namba Formation.

The deposit occurs as an arcuate structure at the northern end of the Kalkaroo Dome Magnetic Complex, on Benagerie Ridge (Figure 2.1).

Mineralization is stratabound, up to approximately 200 m in thickness, and between 50 m and 500 m deep. Copper and gold are hosted in a replacement style mineralization in a favourable stratigraphic horizon with later faulting and vein emplacement causing enriched in places.

Mineralization occurs adjacent the contact between the Curnamona Group oxidised rocks and the reduced Strathearn Group rocks. Mineralization is crosscut by the Kalkaroo West vein and the Central vein systems.

The primary mineralization consists predominantly of chalcopyrite, pyrite, molybdenite and gold, in both replacement and vein styles, and cobalt. The mineralization has been weathered to approximately 150 m below surface.

The key copper-gold mineralized horizons are:

  • Leached zone.

  • Gold supergene enrichment.

  • Native copper zone.

  • Chalcocite zone.

  • Chalcopyrite zone.

2.2 Mineral Resources

The Kalkaroo Mineral Resource estimate as reported by Havilah is summarized in Table 2.1. The Mineral Resource is inclusive of the Ore Reserve.

The Mineral Resource estimate for Kalkaroo is current as at 31 July 2021. It was reported publicly by Havilah in its July 2021 Annual Report and a January 2018 ASX announcement. The 2021 Mineral Resource is the same as the 2012 Mineral Resource, with the addition of the oxide gold cap. Otherwise, there have been no material changes including no additional drilling. The coppergold Mineral Resource for Kalkaroo was estimated, with reference to the JORC Code, in the PFS.

The Mineral Resource for Kalkaroo is reported by application of a cut-off of 0.4% copper equivalent (Cueq) in the sulphides and 0.2 g/t Au in the oxide.

2.3 Data collection

2.3.1 Drilling

As at June 2022, a total of 1,204 holes, for 151,969 m total length are in the database as having been drilled in the vicinity of the project area, with new holes drilled since July 2018 not included in an updated resource model. Of these 485-reverse circulation (RC) drillholes and 100 diamond drillholes (DD) were reported in the December 2017 PFS as used to create the geological model as part of the update to the resource estimate. In 2018, 493 drillholes for 82,434 m, drilled by Havilah, and 65 earlier holes for 15,047 m, a total of 558 drillholes were attributed to Kalkaroo deposit Mineral Resource.

All holes are drilled from surface, included in the database, and are DD, RC, air core (AC), or rotary-mud (RM) drillholes. Core diameter includes PQ, HQ and NQ. RC drilling used face sample bits. Drilling was performed by Havilah’s drill rig or Titeline Drilling Pty Ltd. Drill core was orientated where possible.

Drilling at Kalkaroo is predominantly angled between 60[o] and vertical, with many on the holes drill between 70[o] and 75[o] . Holes are spaced horizontally on 50 m sections at Kalkaroo West to 100 m sections at Kalkaroo Main Dome.

AMC considers the drill-hole-to-target orientation and density of drilling are reasonable for the style of mineralization and mining method.

2.3.2 Logging and sampling

Geological data such as lithology, alteration, mineralization, veining and structure were collected. This data, from both core and RC chips was logged onto Field Marshall software using palmtop logging units, or directly into a digital logging system using Excel and saved to a database. Data is then uploaded to the master drilling database. Core and RC chips are photographed.

Diamond drill core is cut in half for sampling. One half of all core is retained for geological record. Sampling is on one metre intervals, or to geological boundaries. Drill core was reassembled to confirm core recovery. Over 93% core recovery was achieved.

RC and AC samples were collected on one metre or two metre intervals and riffle split to a weight of two to three kilograms. RC samples were reported as generally sufficiently dry to riffle split.

2.3.3 Assay

ALS laboratories (ALS) was used for routine assay. Samples are crushed to 6 mm, with a 3 kg riffle split sample taken off, which is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns.

Samples are analysed using a four-acid digest followed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)atomic emission spectrometry and ICP mass spectrometry (ME-OG61 method). Samples over limit are re-assayed using ALS’s ME-OG62 method.

Gold is assayed using fire assay on a 50 g charge with an atomic absorption spectrometry finish.

AMC considers that the preparation and analytical methods use were recognized methods for a broad spectrum of analytes with acceptable detection limits at a commercial laboratory. Analysis is performed on samples for suites of up to 33 different elements.

2.3.4 Drillhole collars and survey

The coordinate system used the ADG 66 datum. Collar positions were surveyed using a Differential Global Positioning System with accuracy to 0.2 m horizontally and 0.4 m vertically.

Downhole surveys were performed at 30 m intervals with an Eastman single-shot or multi-shot camera, digital Camteq or Flexit survey camera. Early RC drillholes were not surveyed. However, later RC drilling programmes indicated deviations of less than one degree.

AMC considers for the depths of the drillholes and the accuracy of down hole measurement that minor errors in RC drill collar locations will not be material for the Mineral Resource estimate.

2.3.5 Bulk density

Bulk density determinations were carried out on 11,774 diamond drill core samples. The method used is the water immersion method (air-dried core sample weighed on a tray in air and in water). Bulk density is determined from the weight in air divided by the difference between weights in air and water.

Bulk density is assumed to have very little variability within each material type and a single value is applied to each material type.

AMC considers that the bulk density determination process is of a good standard. The assumed limit of variability is reasonable but should be confirmed.

2.3.6 Data management

Logged data was captured electronically. Data was imported into Vulcan software to generate a drillhole database. Vulcan was used to validate data.

Validation checks carried out on the data included:

  • Checks that the data is from the correct database, the correct holes are present.

  • Checks in Vulcan that the relevant variables are present.

  • Erroneous entries including overlaps, repeated data and absent data.

  • Visual and automated checks of raw data and when loaded to the database.

  • Surveyed collars are entered into the database.

  • The dip and azimuth of all drilled holes are compatible.

  • Issues in relation to hole or sampling numbers.

  • Correct loading of assay results with visual validation in mining software of hole traces and assay.

  • Visual validation between assay and lithology.

2.3.7 Summary of data management processing and checks

Havilah has:

  • Automated processes for inputting data from sampling and logging into the database.

  • Drilling methods that are standard across the mining industry.

  • A long-term relationship with one main laboratory, some inter-laboratory checks and an understanding of the historical data.

  • Validation checks as data is entered into the database.

  • Vulcan’s validation processes in place for checking data consistency, overlaps etc.

2.4 Data quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)

Monitoring of assay quality control has been in place since Placer. Havilah has maintained QA/QC practices since acquiring the asset.

2.4.1 QA/QC frequency

AMC considers the frequency of QA/QC submissions for standards are generally acceptable or just less than this. AMC recommends submission rates should typically be 5%, or 1 in 20, for each QA/QC protocol.

In 2007 to 2008, standards were generally inserted in pairs, and occasionally as singles or in batches of three to four. The submission rate of blanks and standards was approximately one in ten. Blanks were inserted one per hole and one per batch. Duplicates were collected from every riffle split RC sample. QA/QC data were with a testing frequency at an acceptable level.

In 2004 to 2006, samples comprising standards, blanks, and duplicates were alternated at a rate of one in 50.

Placer, Newcrest, and MIM are all reported by Havilah to have undertaken QA/QC.

Results of QA/QC for 2018 is not documented. Insertion frequency is understood to be at a rate of one sample in 25 in total, or one sample in 75 for each QA/QC protocol.

2.4.2 Results to 2008

For diamond drillholes, to 2008, a sequence of 25 standards was run with each batch of samples. The standards, sourced from a number of companies including Gannet Pty Ltd, Geostats Pty Ltd, and Ore Research and Exploration Pty Ltd, were certified. Havilah continued to use standards obtained from Pasminco in 2003 and had them re-certified.

Review of copper and gold standards, and blanks, showed 98% of results fall within acceptable limits, with results outside these ranges being poor assay explained as mixed up samples or poor assays.

Minor contamination of copper and molybdenum results and lesser gold was explained by Havilah as occurring in the pulverising stage of sample preparation. The degree of contamination is reported by Havilah as very low, with each being an order of magnitude lower than ore grade, and therefore not material to the Mineral Resource estimate.

2.4.3 Twin hole analysis

Havilah compares relative intersection widths for data from ten pairs of RC and DD holes. Havilah reports there is no significant difference between the total intercepts, although local wide variations do occur. Sample size and type do not affect the metal content, and no material bias is present.

2.4.4 QA/QC summary

Assay QA/QC protocols were in place that included certified reference material, blanks and duplicate assays. QA/QC submission rates were reasonable, although not always to accepted industry practice. Results of the available QA/QC data suggests anomalies within the data were either not present, have been addressed, or were not considered material by Havilah to the Mineral Resource estimation.

Certified reference materials were used to monitor the performance of copper, gold and molybdenum analysis. AMC considers that, overall, the results reviewed were good with no biases or spreads in data.

Samples were generally processed and analysed at ALS Laboratories’ facilities.

2.5 Mineral Resource grade estimation review

2.5.1 Interpretation

Geological interpretations were developed into three-dimensional wireframes for the Mineral Resource estimation, based on sections spaced between 25 m and 100 m apart. Multiple types of domains have been modelled using geology.

These are:

  • Namba Formation.

  • Eyre Formation.

  • Saprolite.

  • Kalkaroo Main Dome with five subdivisions: k2.2, k2.5, k2.8, k3.2, k3.5.

  • Kalkaroo West with four subdivisions.

  • Kalkaroo West Vein with two subdivisions.

Oxidation within the lithologies has allowed the mineralization to be divided into discrete oxidation domains that overprinted the lithology domains:

  • Saprolite.

  • Native copper.

  • Chalcocite.

  • Chalcopyrite.

Havilah statistically validated the domains to identify any extreme outliers that needed addressing.

2.5.2 Compositing

Kalkaroo downhole composite length was one metres with length weighting for shorter intervals at domain boundaries. One meter was chosen as it aligned with most sample lengths in both the DD and RC drilling.

2.5.3 Variography

The variography for the interpreted domains was investigated to assess continuity orientations. Copper and gold were analysed separately in each mineralized domain. Domains in the Kalkaroo Main domain, Namba and Saprolite were unfolded prior to the variogram generation. Spatial variograms were generated in individual directions and along fans.

Unfolded domains were given a search orientation that is perpendicular to the control surface used to unfolds the domain.

No top capping was applied to the data.

2.5.4 Grade interpolation

Grade in the block model was interpolated using the ordinary kriging (OK) and inverse distance interpolation methods. The estimation was run for copper and gold, as well as cobalt, molybdenum and sulfur.

The dimensions of the blocks within the domains are 10 mX × 10 mY × 10 mZ. This is appropriate for the drill spacing in the upper levels and the steep nature of the drilling. The limits of the block model dimension cover the extent of the mineralization.

The estimation was run in three passes with the search for each pass twice the previous pass. Domain perimeters were used as hard boundaries to control the estimation search within the mineralized domains in line with the model for mineralization.

amcconsultants.com
11
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

Soft boundaries were used for bulk density due to continuity of rock types beyond the defined mineralized zones.

Octant searches was applied to control data searches in each pass. A specified number of samples was applied to control data searches each pass. Each pass required a minimum of four composite samples and a maximum of thirty-two.

AMC considers that the estimation approach used is reasonable.

2.5.5 Validation

To validate the estimation of the block model Havilah undertook a series of validation checks.

Blocks were visually validated once domains are assigned from the wireframes to confirm the domain variables are correctly assigned.

The block model generated was visually checked to ensure all variables and codes were correct and that the domain overlap prioritization had performed correctly.

Wireframes were checked to be closed and consistent with the block model and sub-blocking.

Statistical comparison of raw data versus declustered data versus the block model was performed.

Havilah has generated a series of swath plots to validate the model grades. These plots compare block model grades and composite grades in slices through each domain for copper and gold.

Visual assessment and validation plots of the block model against the declustered data all indicate generally good conformance. As most of the declustered data is on one metre intervals, smoothing of the block model grades with a larger block size is expected.

To validate if the model has honoured the data appropriately, a block model was generated using a second, different estimation method that was compared with the OK model.

2.5.6 Classification criteria

The Mineral Resources were classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred in accordance with the JORC Code based on wireframes outlines interpreted from a block model derived from the estimated block model by re-blocking the model to 50 m x 50 m x 20 m blocks. The re-blocked model contained both copper-equivalent grade and resource category fields. Management of the resource category field ensured single-drillhole estimated blocks were flagged as Inferred. Wireframes generated from the re-blocked model based on the resource category and grade, were applied to the Mineral Resource block model to classify the Mineral Resource estimate.

2.5.7 Cut-off grade

The cut-off for the copper-gold Mineral Resource was calculated as a copper equivalent value (Cueq). It was calculated for each block based on copper (US$5,030/t), gold (US$1,278/oz) and 1 ppm gold equal to 8,169 ppm copper with a US$ exchange rate of US$0.74 per A$1.00. Prices are derived from World Bank average pricing from 2016.

For the Namba Formation and saprolite oxidised zone, copper was set to zero on the calculation as it is not recoverable.

The Mineral Resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4% Cueq.

The cut-off grade for the cobalt resource was 20 ppm cobalt and confined to blocks already defined by the copper-gold Mineral Resource.

2.5.8 Reporting

It is important that processes used in generating a Mineral Resource estimate are transparent and clearly reported. The estimation processes at Kalkaroo are relatively simple. However, the current Mineral Resource has been built up from work carried out over a number of campaigns. While the rationale for changes made with time to the estimation are understood, the 2018 Mineral Resource estimate is not captured in one document.

2.5.9 Estimation summary

AMC makes the following observations:

  • The geological interpretation and domaining is complex but appropriate for the estimation.

  • • Grade estimation uses internationally recognized processes.

  • Validation included visual checks and swath plots, and estimation by two methods.

  • Classification of the Mineral Resource was created based on drilling density and classifications within a re-blocked model to provide continuous envelopes with similar confidence levels.

  • The documentation should capture detail to provide full transparency in a single document, including supporting documentation, as would be required for a formal external audit carried out for financial purposes.

2.6 Estimation validation

AMC has independently interrogated the block model estimations as a global confirmation of grade for the Kalkaroo using data and parameters supplied by Havilah. This was undertaken in the Datamine software and AMC’s processes and outcomes are summarized as follows.

2.6.1 Block model estimation check

Manipulation and interrogation to replicate the Mineral Resource estimates reported was very similar with subtle differences likely to be due to the software used and data management processes.

AMC is comfortable with the modelling approach given the stage of the project. The overarching rationale for the processes is understood.

AMC interrogated the block model. This showed consistent outcomes at the reported cut-off of 0.4% Cueq as shown in Table 2.2.

2.6.2 Swath Plots

AMC generated swath plots to assess the distribution of block grade versus drilling composite grades. The swath plots in Figure 2.2 are examples showing the good global correlation in the Measured Resource between the copper grades in all domains. However, it is also evident the model grade smoothed the drillhole data. By level the block model appears to under-estimate the composite grades with a difference of up to 0.15% copper grade around -25 mRL. The number of composites support a reasonable density of data for the estimation due to internal smoothing of the grade from surrounding composite data in the levels above and below, and the broad aerial extent of the slices.

Statistical checks were run. Results show the model has smoothed the grades and reduced variance within the populations while not significantly affecting mean grade. As an example, the statistics for the classifications within the mineral resource envelope are provided in Table 2.3.

The mean of higher reported grade in domains are very similar. Greater variability in the mean grade is seen for lower grades due to greater sensitivity to changes at these low levels.

The Havilah report supporting the Mineral Resource estimate is documented in the June 2018 Kalkaroo Maiden Ore Reserve ASX announcement, and in internal reports. It is important that the estimation processes, and their association with each other, are sufficiently detailed, preferably in one document, to be transparent for future users and readers.

2.6.3 Conclusions

AMC's conclusions for the validation are:

  • AMC considers that the Mineral Resource estimate classification, given the complexity of the geology and the drillhole data densities, is based on reasonable grounds.

  • The estimates were appropriately classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources in accordance with the JORC Code. AMC broadly concurs with the Mineral Resource classification.

3 Mining and Ore Reserves

3.1 Ore Reserves

The Ore Reserve for Kalkaroo was estimated during the PFS and reported to the ASX (‘KALKAROO MAIDEN ORE RESERVE CONFIRMS LARGE COPPER PROJECT’) on 18 June 2018 and is stated to be reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (see Table 3.1).

Notes: Source document is Havilah ASX announcement June 2018. The Competent Person is Igor Bojanic, a full-time employee of RPM Advisory Services Pty Ltd.

The Ore Reserve was stated to be prepared by RPMGlobal Asia Ltd, with the Competent Person stated to be Mr Igor Bojanic, a full-time employee of RPM Advisory Services Pty Ltd. AMC notes that the Competent Person for the most recent restatement (unchanged from the PFS) of the Ore Reserve estimate in the Havilah 2021 Annual Report and on Havilah’s website is stated to be Dr Christopher Giles, a Director of the Company, a full-time employee, and a substantial shareholder.

AMC considers that the Ore Reserve estimation methodology is reasonable, and the Ore Reserve has been classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code.

3.1.1 Geotechnical

The deeply weathered rock has significant implications for open pit slope design. Experience with mining at Havilah’s Portia Gold Mine has informed the slope design criteria in the Namba Formation and the saprolite. Overall slopes of 25 degrees are designed in the Namba Formation. Overall slopes in the saprolite are 43 degrees, and in the fresh rock are up to 55 degrees.

The geotechnical performance of the Namba Formation and the underlying saprolite is a key area of uncertainty. Weathering is to a significant and variable depth across the deposit. The geotechnical properties of the Namba Formation, combined with a depth of up to 80 m, require shallow overall slopes compared to most conventional open pit mines, and this contributes to a significant increase in waste mining.

3.1.2 Hydrology and hydrogeology

The groundwater is at approximately 70 m elevation (approximately 50 m below surface) with total dissolved solids of 22,000 ppm. Groundwater studies predicted an initial pumping rate of 45 to 50 L/s increasing to 85 L/s in year three and 108 L/s in year five. This will produce 9.7 to 15.5 megalitre/day.

Processing will consume 8.5 megalitre/day which is 80% of the water produced from dewatering. The remaining 20% of water will be used on dust suppression (1 megalitre/day) and lost to evaporation (1.2 megalitre/day).

Dewatering is considered critical for pit wall stability.

3.2 Mine plan

3.2.1 Summary

The proposed mine is a conventional truck and excavator bulk mining operation, utilising 5 m benches for ore and 10 m benches for waste. The Namba Formation and saprolite are expected to be free dig with drill-and-blast required in the transition zone and in fresh rock.

Whittle Four-X (W4X) optimization software was used to identify ore and the optimum pit depth and shape. The optimization price inputs were:

  • Copper price US$2.74/lb, A$3.65/lb.

  • Gold price US$1,200/oz, A$1,600/oz.

The optimization output was used to select and design the open pit which is designed in six stages with the initial stage starting at Kalkaroo West (see Figure 3.1).

Figure 3.1 Stage 1 pit design

==> picture [483 x 316] intentionally omitted <==

The second stage pit is a separate pit located at Kalkaroo North. The Stage 3 pit combines Kalkaroo West and Kalkaroo North pits, with pit stages 4, 5 and 6 representing cut-backs on the combined pit.

The ultimate pit design is based on the revenue factor 90% pit shell and is planned to be 3.5 km long by 0.9 km wide with a depth of 280 m.

The pit design includes a number of haul roads which will be used to provide flexibility and access to the run-of-mine ore pad, low grade stockpile and the waste dump. These haul roads will also provide some redundancy in the event of slope failure.

The run-of-mine ore (ROM) pad, low grade stockpile/overflow stockpile and processing plant is planned to the east of the pit with waste planned to be stockpiled in a single facility located to the east and south.

The site layout showing the ultimate pit design, ROM pad, low grade stockpile, waste dump, and processing facility is shown in Figure 3.2.

The PFS mining operating cost estimates assume owner mining, however, it also recommends that a detailed study of owner mining versus contract mining is undertaken prior to development. Contract mining is considered by AMC to be a lower risk than owner mining.

3.2.2 Sensitivity to cut-off grade

AMC notes that both forecast metal prices and estimates of operating costs that would be used in W4X have changed since the assumptions used in the PFS. To account for increases in operating costs, AMC escalated the operating expenditure and capital expenditure from the December 2017 cost basis of the PFS to a June 2022 cost basis for AMC’s recommendations to BDO for adjustments to the Model using a rise and fall formula and typical mining industry cost indices.

AMC also considers that forecast metal prices used for the IER are likely to be significantly higher than used in the PFS, with the current spot price of copper (as an example) at 26 June 2022 being US$3.74/lb and gold US$1,830/oz.

AMC estimated the copper-only (without contribution of gold revenue) break-even marginal cutoff grade (considers only the cost of processing) using parameters from the PFS and using recent spot metal prices and the escalated operating costs as discussed above.

amcconsultants.com

Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

Break-even marginal cut-off grades were approximately 0.12% Cu for the PFS assumptions, and 0.11% Cu using recent spot metal prices and escalated operating costs. As a result, AMC considers that no additional adjustments need to be made to account for cut-off grade changes.

3.2.3 Sensitivity to Inferred Resource

The optimization process investigated the sensitivity of the project to Inferred Resources with the following findings:

  • Including Inferred Resource increases the size of the pit by approximately 10 Mt.

  • Most of the Inferred Resource mineralization is of lower grade and located in the edges and deeper area of the pit and is therefore only mined in the final pit stages.

  • The Inferred Resource makes no significant difference to the project economics.

3.2.4 Mine production schedule

The Kalkaroo open pit in planned to mine approximately 452 Mt over a fourteen-year period. Following the initial pre-strip year, the operation mine plan establishes a relatively constant mining rate of 42 Mtpa until Year-9. In the final four years, the planned mining rate decreases as Stage 6 is the only pit being mined.

The mine production plan matches the Ore Reserves. In AMC opinion the mine production schedule is based on reasonable grounds and is achievable.

The total mining quantities are shown in Table 3.2. The schedule is shown graphically in Figure 3.3 and as a table in Appendix A.

4 Metallurgy and Processing

AMC has reviewed the metallurgical testwork, process design and plant cost estimate sections of the PFS.

4.1 Metallurgical testwork

4.1.1 Metallurgical testwork programmes

Several metallurgical testwork programmes have been conducted over the history of Kalkaroo. These programmes were completed on the four Kalkaroo ore types:

  • Saprolite ore.

  • Native copper ore.

  • Chalcocite ore.

  • Chalcopyrite ore.

A summary of these programmes is shown in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1 Summary of testwork programmes completed on Kalkaroo ores

==> picture [484 x 276] intentionally omitted <==

Sourced from documents provided to AMC by Havilah

These programmes were completed by ALS, Ammtec Limited, and JKTech Limited. AMC considers all these laboratories to be appropriately qualified for these types of tests.

The testwork programme which supported the PFS included the following testwork types:

  • Comminution testwork.

  • Gravity separation testwork to recovery a native copper product.

  • Gravity gold separation testwork.

  • Desliming testwork.

  • Flotation testwork to produce a gold-rich copper concentrate.

  • Flotation testwork to produce a gold-rich pyrite concentrate.

  • Cyanide leaching of the pyrite concentrate.

amcconsultants.com
22
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008
  • Mineralogical testwork.

  • Dewatering testwork.

AMC considers that, in general, this testwork programme was adequate.

4.1.2 Sample representivity

The samples used for metallurgical testwork were made up from drill core samples. These samples were separated into the four ore types. AMC has reviewed the metallurgical testwork samples and considers that they were representative of the Kalkaroo deposit and covered the variability of the deposit in terms of spatial representivity, depth, copper head grade and geological domains.

4.1.3 Comminution testwork

Comminution testwork was conducted on samples of all ore types. The purpose of the comminution testwork is to select equipment and circuits for crushing and grinding that would suit all ore types. This testwork demonstrated that the Saprolite and Native Copper ores can be considered soft; the Chalcocite ore can be considered medium-to-hard and the Chalcopyrite ore can be considered very hard.

4.1.4 Cyanide leach recovery testwork on Saprolite ores

Additional testwork was performed after the PFS was completed, including cyanide leaching of the Saprolite ore. In the Model, the total gold recovery for the Saprolite ore is 49% (which is a combination of gold recoveries from the flotation and gravity separation circuits). Cyanide leaching tests were conducted on Saprolite ores to try to improve gold recovery. These tests showed that gold recoveries of 90% were achievable.

Previous cyanide leaching testwork on Saprolite ores showed that copper in the ore was also leaching into solution. Copper in solution can cause significant processing issues in downstream gold processing circuits including carbon loading circuits. Havilah successfully tested a process which treated loaded carbon with a sodium cyanide (NaCN)/caustic soda (NaOH) combination that removed 97% of the copper that was loaded on the carbon, whilst only removing 0.45% of the loaded gold.

4.1.5 Locked-cycle tests on chalcopyrite ores

In the post-PFS testwork programme, bench locked-cycle flotation tests were conducted on blended composites of both the Chalcocite and Chalcopyrite ores. The objective of these tests was to achieve higher flotation gold recoveries than the historical testwork. These composites were made of different samples that covered different areas of the Kalkaroo deposit. The sample make-up of these composites is shown in Table 4.2. It also shows the drillholes and intervals used for making up the individual samples.

AMC notes that these composites were made up from samples that cover different parts of the deposit in terms of spatial representivity and depth, and therefore will not be processed at the same time. Subsequently, AMC recommends that future locked-cycle flotation tests are conducted on each of the individual samples that are used to make up the composites. This approach will give a better understanding of the achievable recoveries for a particular ore type and production year.

4.2 Metallurgical inputs

The Kalkaroo processing model has process plant recoveries (copper and gold) for each ore type.

For the Saprolite ore, where the testwork results did not show a definitive relationship between head grade and recovery, the metal recoveries in the model are fixed at:

  • Gravity processes: Copper: 26.7%; Gold: 36.1%.

  • Flotation processes: Copper: 20.3%, Gold: 12.9%.

  • Total: Copper 47%; Gold: 49%.

For the Native Copper, Chalcocite and Chalcopyrite ores, the testwork results identified that there were some relationships between head grade and metal recoveries (for both copper and gold). Head-grade metal-recovery relationships for these ores have been used to forecasts metals recoveries over the life-of-mine. AMC agrees with this methodology.

amcconsultants.com
24
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

A 2% recovery reduction has been discounted from the recoveries achieved in the bench-scale flotation testwork and applied to the metal recoveries. AMC agrees with this methodology, as process plant recoveries are typically lower than bench-scale recoveries. This is typically because a bench-scale test is conducted at optimum conditions; whereas the processing plant will experience variability in terms of ore type, mineralogy and grade that will cause fluctuations in plant recoveries.

4.3 Process plant design

Kalkaroo is proposed to have two processing plants for treating mined ore:

  • A 4 Mtpa oxide processing plant to treat blends of Saprolite, Native copper, and Chalcocite ores. This processing plant will commence production in Year-2. The Chalcocite ore will only have a maximum throughput of 2 Mtpa in this plant.

  • A 7 Mtpa sulphide processing plant to treat blends of Chalcocite and Chalcopyrite ores. This processing plant will commence production in Year 5 of mine operation.

The oxide processing plant is designed to have the flexibility to process different ore types and with specific equipment that will only be applicable for certain ore types. The oxide plant proposed flowsheet is shown in Figure 4.1.

When processing Saprolite or Native Copper ores, the oxide plant design consists of:

  • An MMD sizer for size reduction.

  • A scrubbing circuit (trommel).

  • A ball mill circuit.

  • A desliming cyclone circuit where the cyclone overflow (slimes fraction) reports to final tailings.

  • An inline jig for recovering a saleable high-grade native copper product.

  • A gravity gold circuit for recovering a saleable copper gold concentrate.

  • A flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging and two stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable copper concentrate.

  • An optional pyrite flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging and two stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable pyrite concentrate.

  • An optional Wilfley Table circuit which would treat the gravity gold concentrate to upgrade it to gold doré.

When processing Chalcocite ore, the oxide plant design consists of:

  • A primary jaw crusher.

  • A SAG mill, ball mill, pebble crusher circuit.

  • A gravity gold circuit for recovering a saleable copper gold concentrate.

  • A flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging, regrind (tower mill) and three stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable copper concentrate.

  • An optional pyrite flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging, and two stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable pyrite concentrate.

  • An optional Wilfley Table which would treat the gravity gold concentrate to upgrade it to gold doré.

The sulphide processing plant proposed flowsheet is shown in Figure 4.2.

The sulphide processing plant is designed to have the flexibility to process blends of Chalcopyrite and Chalcocite ores. The sulphide plant design consists of:

  • A primary gyratory crusher.

  • A SAG mill, ball mill, pebble crusher circuit (SABC circuit).

  • A gravity gold circuit for recovering a saleable copper gold concentrate.

  • A flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging, regrind (tower mill) and three stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable copper concentrate.

  • An optional pyrite flotation circuit consisting of roughing/scavenging and two stages of cleaning for recovering a saleable pyrite concentrate.

4.3.1 Comminution circuit

AMC notes the selection of an MMD sizer for treating the oxide ores (Saprolite and Native Copper) and a SABC grinding circuit for treating the Chalcopyrite and Chalcocite ores. AMC agrees with these circuit selections given the differences in hardness amongst the different ore types demonstrated in the comminution testwork.

4.4 Concentrate products

The oxide processing plant is designed to produce a native copper product, and a separate gold concentrate using gravity circuits. A gold-rich copper flotation concentrate will also be produced using a flotation circuit. The sulphide processing plant will produce a gravity gold concentrate and a gold-rich copper flotation concentrate.

The concentrate is planned to be transported in containers from the Mutooroo siding to Port Pirie, from where it will be shipped to China for smelting and refining.

4.4.1 Plant production ramp-up

Both the oxide and sulphide plants are proposed to take nine months to ramp-up to full production. AMC considers these time frames to be reasonable.

4.5 Processing plan

The processing parameters are tabulated in Table 4.3. Life-of-mine processing quantities are shown in Table 4.4.

The processing schedule is shown graphically in Figure 4.3 and as a table in Appendix A.

The processing schedule matches the mining schedule. In AMC’s opinion the processing schedule is based on reasonable grounds.

The mineralization includes molybdenum and cobalt. While these elements may have value once recovered, the current processing circuit does not include the recovery of these in a saleable form, and smelter terms do not include payment for them.

4.5.1 Flotation recoveries on Saprolite and Native Copper ores

AMC considers the flotation copper recoveries that are used in the Model for both the Saprolite and Native Copper ores to be reasonable (in the processing plan, the Saprolite ore has a fixed flotation copper recovery of 20.3% and the Native Copper has a fixed flotation copper recovery of 3.9%).

The flotation testwork on these ores used flotation reagents that are more suited to copper sulphide minerals. For example, sodium isobutyl xanthate which was used in the testwork, is primarily used for floating sulphide minerals.

AMC recommends completing additional flotation testwork on these ores utilising speciality flotation reagents and flotation conditions suited to these ore types with an objective of achieving higher copper recoveries.

4.5.2 Flotation circuit flowsheet

AMC notes that in both plant flowsheets, the tailings from the 1[st] cleaner flotation reports back to the feed of the rougher circuit. Whilst this flowsheet reduces the risk of recovery losses in the 1[st] cleaner circuit (as any valuable minerals that short-circuit the 1[st] cleaner will have another opportunity for recovery in the Rougher circuit); the additional feed to the rougher circuit from the 1[st] cleaner tailings will reduce rougher residence time. The reduced rougher residence time will subsequently reduce rougher copper recovery.

5 Infrastructure

The main site infrastructure is to be located to the north west of the open pit, Figure 5.1.

Figure 5.1 On-site infrastructure

Sourced from PFS document provided to AMC by Havilah

An ephemeral creek flows north through the open pit site. A diversion channel will divert water flows around the site to re-join the drainage line downstream.

The operation will be fly-in-fly-out from Adelaide and drive-in-drive-out from Broken Hill. A 200person camp will be located approximately 5 km south of the mine.

The PFS assumes use of airstrip and temporary accommodation facilities located 13 km east at Honeymoon Mine. However, no discussions or agreements have been made with Boss Resources Limited (Boss), the owners of Honeymoon Mine.

Site power requirement in 40 MW of which 35 MW is processing. Supply options are to be investigated in a future feasibility study but are:

  • Onsite renewable or diesel generation, or a combination of diesel and renewable.

  • Grid connection to Silverton at 75 km.

Grid power is available at Honeymoon; however, this is a low-capacity line and unsuitable for upgrading to supply Kalkaroo.

The tailings storage facility (TSF) is located to the west of the processing facility. The TSF is a conventional facility consisting of three paddock type cells subdivided into eight sectors. Tailings will be thickened to approximately 60% by weight and deposited via perimeter spigots. A central decant will collect tailings water and rainwater for return to the process water dam.

The TSF will be periodically raised using upstream lifts during the life-of-mine to a final height of 22 m. The area of the TSF is 350 Ha with a final volume of 66 Mm[3] .

The TSF is considered in the information provide to AMC by Havilah as very low risk given the flat topography, low rainfall and absence of population. AMC agrees with this assessment.

6 Project operating and capital costs

6.1 Escalation

The project operating and capital costs contained in the PFS are provided as real costs at the time of estimation, which was December 2017. To account for price escalation between December 2017 and June 2022, AMC applied a rise and fall calculation, typical of what is used in the mining contracting industry.

The form of the rise and fall calculation is:

Rise and fall = ∑ Weighting x June 2022 Value/December 2017 Value

Where:

Weighting is the weighting of the individual component (sum of weightings is 100%).

The individual cost elements used by AMC and the source of the information for the index values used are:

  • Labour – Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Catalogue 6345 Wage Price Index - Table 5b. Total Hourly Rates of Pay Excluding Bonuses: Sector by Industry, Original (Quarterly Index Numbers), Private, Mining, Series ID A2602939F at the end of the evaluation month.

  • Parts - ABS Catalogue 6427.0 Producer Price Indexes - Table 11 Input to the Coal mining industry, index numbers and percentage changes, Coal Mining, Series ID A83737106J at the end of the evaluation month.

  • Fuel - the cost of diesel fuel, delivered to site, excluding GST and after removal of the Fuel Tax Credit during the evaluation month, sourced from the website https://fleetautonews.com.au/historical-pump-prices-in-australia/ and accessed on 20/06/2022.

  • Materials - ABS Catalogue 6401 Consumer Price Index - Tables 1 and 2. CPI, All Groups, Index Numbers and Percentage Changes, All groups CPI, Perth, Series ID A2325826V at the end of the evaluation month.

Note: Operating costs were sourced from the PFS economic model dated December 2017, updated based on subsequent updated model dated 30 May 2019, and escalated as described above.

AMC have separated the costs into onsite operating cost such as mining, processing and general and administration (G&A), and off-site cost associated with the concentrate product such as concentrate transport, smelting, refining and royalty. This allows comparison of the unit costs with other similar mining operations.

6.2 Mining cost

The unit mining cost (including contingency) of A$2.30/t ore and waste mine is at the lower limit of AMC expectations. The low mining cost can be attributed to the assumption of owner mining and the large amount of free dig material. The mining costs were developed as part of a prefeasibility study and in AMC’s opinion are based on reasonable grounds.

6.3 Processing costs

The process plants operating costs are estimated in the PFS by applying different costs for the various ore types through the two processing plants.

The average unit processing cost (including contingency) for the life-of-mine is A$13.47/t of ore processed. AMC has compared these costs against similar processing plants and considers these costs are within the normal ranges of similar processing plants. In AMC’s opinion, the processing costs are based on reasonable grounds.

amcconsultants.com
33
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

6.4 General and Administration costs

The G&A unit cost included in the Havilah Model was considered by AMC to be low compared with comparable remote mining operations with camp accommodation and a commute workforce. An average G&A cost for comparable remote mines is in a range of A$3.50 to A$4.00/t of ore processed. AMC have adjusted the G&A costs in Table 6.2 and the operating cost schedule in Appendix A into this range (A$3.96/t of ore processed including contingency) by doubling the G&A cost provided in the PFS.

6.5 Selling cost and royalty

The selling costs (A$7.25/t of ore processed including contingency) comprise costs associated with the transport, treatment, and refining of concentrate and other products. Some of the cost to produce refined metal is also accounted for in the payable terms provided by the concentrate purchaser. Payable terms are defined in marketing contracts once a concentrate product is available and marketed.

The South Australian Government normal royalty is 5% of the value of contained metal for concentrate products however a discount to 2% of the value of contained metal can be applied for and granted for the first five years of a new mining project.

AMC considers the selling costs and the payable terms to be reasonable at a prefeasibility level of study.

6.6 Project capital costs

Kalkaroo capital costs from the PFS and escalated as discussed above are provided as an initial capital cost over the first five years of operation, an all-in sustaining capital cost over the remaining life of the operations (six years), and mine closure activities after cessation of operations (four years) in Table 6.3.

Total Capital *A$m) 644 148 51

Note: Capital costs were sourced from PFS working data.

6.6.1 Mining capital

The mining capital cost represent the initial purchase of two 330 t excavators, one 245 t excavator, eight 136 t dump trucks, and a number of drill rig, dozers and auxiliary support equipment. The sustaining capital is estimated in the PFS from a mobile fleet replacement schedule and represents replacement of all items of mining equipment at the end of operating life.

AMC considers the type and number of equipment, replacement schedule, and purchase cost are consistent with a prefeasibility level study and that the mining capital cost estimate is based on reasonable grounds.

6.6.2 Processing capital

For both the sulphide and oxide processing plants, the plant capital cost estimates from the PFS were based on quotations for key equipment, in-house data and standard estimation practices.

AMC considers the methodology used to estimate the processing capital is consistent with a prefeasibility level study and based on reasonable grounds.

6.6.3 Infrastructure capital

The infrastructure capital estimate in the PFS was sourced from detailed work undertaken in 2010 with a 16% inflation factor applied consistent with CPI data over the period. The infrastructure includes roads, buildings, site services, and tailing storage facility.

The infrastructure capital costs estimate includes approximately 14% indirect cost or owners cost.

AMC considers the infrastructure capital cost estimate to be based on reasonable grounds.

6.6.4 Sustaining capital

Sustaining capital was identified separately in the financial model for processing and G&A. This allows initial capital for the sulphide processing plant in Year-3 and Year-4 to be separated from oxide processing plant sustaining capital expended in the same year.

Sustaining capital for mining consists of all capital spend after the initial purchase of the mining fleet up to the end of Year-2. This capital spend is generated from a fleet replacement schedule and deferred waste mining cost for pit cut-backs.

Sustaining capital for processing is approximately 1.5% per annum of installed processing plant capital and for infrastructure, approximately 0.6% per annum of installed infrastructure capital, which is within industry norms.

AMC considers the method of estimation and the allowance for sustaining capital is reasonable.

6.6.5 Contingency

AMC allowed an average contingency of 15% across all capital cost items.

6.7 Salvage value

The PFS economic model reviewed does not contain a salvage value.

Salvage value is only applicable if a sale is likely at the end of the operation. The capital assets of the project that might have some value the end of life-of-mine are:

  • Mobile equipment such as the mining fleet:

  • ⎯ A fleet replacement schedule used to estimate the sustaining capital indicates most items of mobile plant are near the end of their working life at the end of the life-ofmine. Extension to the life-of-mine will require capital expenditure to replace excavators, trucks, and some auxiliary equipment. The salvage value of the mining fleet is minimal.

  • Fixed infrastructure such as the processing plant, camp and administration facilities.

  • ⎯ The fixed infrastructure and the processing facility have some residual value if additional resources remain in the project or district that are able to be mined and processed at the Kalkaroo processing facility. This salvage value would be recovered by selling the processing operation. It is only possible to realise this salvage value however if the surrounding resources are owned by third party as a potential purchaser. Any value obtained by dismantling and selling the plant components is minimal within the context of closure and rehabilitation costs.

Kalkaroo ITSR

822008
  • Additional resources either as resource extension to Kalkaroo or in close proximity.

  • ⎯ The value of additional resources is considered in the exploration assets section of this document. Once a processing plant is constructed, its presence will encourage further exploration expenditure in the area and contribute some value to these additional resources. This value but can only be realised with Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve definition.

AMC considers salvage value is very dependent on the development, operation and exploration of the project as well as changes to the technical, economic and political environment over a 15-year period. AMC considers a salvage value is not material within the accuracy of the capital estimates.

6.10 AMC’s recommended adjustments to the Model

AMC’s recommendations to BDO for adjustments to the Model are:

  • Increase in recoverable gold by 29 koz to align with the Havilah processing schedule.

  • Increased allowance for G&A to reflect the cost of operating a remote site.

  • Escalation of operating and capital costs from a December 2017 basis to a June 2022 basis.

The physical, operating cost, and capital cost inputs for the life-of-mine, after having applied AMC’s recommendations for adjustments to the Model are shown in Table 6.5.

7 Risks and opportunities

The following risks and opportunities have been identified in relation to Kalkaroo.

7.1 Geology and Mineral Resources.

The Kalkaroo Mineral Resource is an undeveloped resource is an area with no previous mining of comparable resources. There is a greater level of uncertainty with the geology and mineral resource at Kalkaroo compared to Mineral Resource in regions with existing mining operations in similar types of deposits.

This greater uncertainty is both a risk and an opportunity in that the geology and Mineral Resource may be both better or worse than anticipated in the evaluation work done to date.

The geology may be more complex than identified in drilling and this may result in lower mining recovery and greater dilution. The mineralization may be less continuous than indicated by the resource drilling and modelling resulting in a reduction in the Mineral Resource.

Further studies will result in an increased in the understanding of the Kalkaroo geology and this may lead to the targeting and identification of extensions to the Mineral Resource, and the targeting of similar mineralization in the region.

7.2 Mining

The mining plan assumes an owner mining model. The PFS also recommend that a contract mining model is evaluated. A contract mining model will reduce the initial capital cost and reduce the technical and economic risk with establishing the management, maintenance and labour expertize required to operate an open pit mining fleet.

The Namba Formation, deep saprolite and presence of groundwater results in geotechnically difficult open pit mining conditions and shallow pit slope designs. The PFS design has been informed by experience in mining in similar conditions at Portia. The conditions at Kalkaroo, while similar, are different and the slopes may behave differently. The planned mining of Kalkaroo is in a series of pit stages with cutbacks. This provides the opportunity to better understand the geotechnical conditions and the slope design criteria prior to designing and mining the final pit slopes.

A significant amount of material is classified as free dig and does not require drilling and blasting. There is a risk that free digging of this material may result in reduced mining productivity and higher mining costs.

Mining costs and productivities are estimated in the PFS based on experience with other comparable operations. These are influenced by the specific rock materials in each operation. However, with no existing mining at Kalkaroo there is a possibility of unforeseen conditions increasing costs or reducing productivities.

7.3 Processing

Testing and studies on metallurgical recovery are ongoing. Processing recoveries are lower than comparable operations. Further test work and studies may increase the amount of recovered metal.

With no existing processing experience on the Kalkaroo mineralization there is a higher possibility of unforeseen conditions increasing costs or reducing processing throughput or metallurgical recoveries.

Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited

7.4 Marketing

Kalkaroo is planned to produce several different concentrate products. These concentrates will be similar but not identical to existing concentrate products produced by other existing operations. The revenue received will depend on how the concentrate is marketed and how well the processing plant can match the quality of concentrate required by the potential buyers. The presence of deleterious penalty elements in copper and gold concentrate can significantly reduce the price of the product.

Metal prices used for the PFS and the Model are moderate compared with current spot metal prices and while cut-off grades were not highly sensitive to metal prices, there is the opportunity to increase margins if metal prices continue to be elevated.

8 Valuation methods – Mineral Resource not included in the Model

Where projections of production physicals and related costs can be reasonably determined for an operation or development project, it is accepted industry practice to prepare discounted cash flow (DCF) models from which net present value (NPV) estimates can be determined for the operation or project.

The Mineral Resource, which was part of the Mineral Resources reported for Kalkaroo, as at July 2018, that has not been included in the Model has been valued using an exploration valuation approach. The methods considered for valuation of that Mineral Resource are described below.

Where possible, AMC will use more than one method for determining the valuation appropriate to that project. Values are rounded, and outliers in contributing estimates are sometimes excluded. The methods selected by AMC are based on methods that are applicable for the circumstances, such as the presence, or not, of a Mineral Resource.

The preferred value for the valuation ranges presented in this ITSR is the midpoint of the range.

The methods considered in this ITSR for valuation of the Mineral Resources reported as at July 2018 that have not been included in the Model are as follows.

8.1 The Yardstick Value method

Yardstick values can be used for properties where a Mineral Resource has been quantified. A value per unit of metal contained in the Mineral Resource is calculated from transactions and applied to the contained metal in the Mineral Resource that is the subject of the valuation. A high, mid, and low valuation are generally derived.

Transactions used to determine yardstick values reflect a range of mineral deposit types, geographical locations and operating conditions. The transactions may include operating projects with a processing plant, projects about to start or restart or companies with one significant mining asset. The transactions are likely to include tenements with significant rehabilitation liabilities or other obligations, but AMC does not have details of those liabilities and obligations.

AMC has identified a number of transactions for copper, gold and iron oxide deposits that indicate yardstick values. All of these deposits are in Australia. Western Australian transactions have generally been excluded as the scale and strategic nature of mineral assets in Western Australia tend to indicate different values. Some of the mineral deposits that are the subject of the transactions include subordinate metals that may add value. AMC has assumed that most of the value in the transaction is indicated by the primary metal contained in the Mineral Resource in determining the yardstick values, and in applying them to the Mineral Resource.

Transactions considered include tenements with reported Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources but without Ore Reserves.

8.2 Actual Transaction method

A value is determined by reference to actual transactions for the property in question. Actual transactions for exploration tenements made by Havilah have been considered in this instance. However, the value of the transaction may not reflect the strategic value, adjacent mineral assets or subsequent development of associated projects. Therefore, the listed value of the transaction is not always relevant.

8.3 Comparable Transaction method

A value is determined by reference to recent transactions for projects considered to be similar to those under review. Comparable transactions are converted to a value per unit area. A high, mid, and low valuation are generally derived.

Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

8.4 The Past Expenditure Method

A value is determined based on expenditure associated with annual exploration activities. ASC considers that more historic activities are less relevant, as these activities would have led to development of the project were they successful. AMC typically considers the last five years of exploration expenditure. Office and administration costs are not included. A Prospectivity Enhancement Multiplier ("PEM") generally between 0.5 and 3.0 is applied to past expenditure which we judge to be effective in regard to future prospectivity.

9 Valuation of the Mineral Resource not included in the Model

AMC used the Yardstick Value method and the Past Expenditure method to determine its valuation of the Mineral Resource not included in the Model. There were no Actual transactions of a project within a recent timeframe that could be applied to this valuation. As Kalkaroo contains a Mineral Resource, the Yardstick method was suitable as it determines a value per unit of metal from comparable transactions. The Comparable Transaction method was not applied, as it uses the value per unit area of a tenement where there is no Mineral Resource.

The second method applied is the Past Expenditure method. This method is typically applied to project where there has been exploration activity, and while there may be potential identified, and a PEM is applied, there is not a Mineral Resource. As such, AMC applied this method as a means of validating or otherwise the preferred Yardstick Value method, as follows.

9.1 Yardstick Value method

AMC undertook a search of a subscription database to identify transactions from which it determined yardstick values relevant to the Kalkaroo Mineral resource not included in the Model.

The yardstick values for Kalkaroo are based on the transactions listed in Table 9.1 for valuation of the Mineral Resource not included in the Model. The transactions are of copper and copperbased polymetallic projects, also containing gold or cobalt, since 2017. Projects for which gold resource ounces were also reported have been converted by AMC to copper equivalent tonnes using commodity prices of US$9,500/t copper, and US$1,900/oz gold as advised by BDO. The cobalt Mineral Resource at Kalkaroo is Inferred and within the copper Mineral Resource. This has not been valued separately. AMC considers that any value contributed by the cobalt resource is accounted for within the implied values of polymetallic transactions in Table 9.1

The implied values per tonne are compared with the size of the deposits in Figure 9.1. Transactions fall within the range of A$3 per tonne to A$250 per tonne of contained metal. The implied value does not appear to be influenced by deposit size, unless the tonnage is very low or very high. This is seen at Red Bore and Copper Mines of Tasmania respectively.

The Mineral Resources that are subject to the transactions vary in size, mining status and relative proportion of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource. The Mineral Resource estimates to which the yardstick values will be applied are Indicated and Inferred as most of the Mineral Resource included in the Model is Measured Resource.

A range of implied values has been used, excluding the outliers, indicated by the transactions to assign ranges of values to be applied to Indicated and Inferred Resources. Figure 9.2 shows the basis of the ranges of values for Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources.

The comparable transactions back to 2017 are used. AMC considers approximately five years to be a reasonable period. For the Kalkaroo valuation, the transactions considered were copper projects or copper projects with associated gold and or cobalt and possibly other ancillary elements.

Of the transactions reviewed, Red Bore was not included in the valuation determination as the value per tonne was considered anomalous due to the small tonnage of resource for the transaction. The Copper Mines of Tasmania transaction was for the Mt Lyell mine site. AMC considers the value per tonne of the transaction was low for the resource. The transaction cost is likely to reflect other factors, such as mining issues and risks, given the history of the site. As such, the large copper tonnage results in a low cost per tonne for that Mineral Resource.

The transactions for Neutral Junction, Mother Lode and Tartana are all based on the resources being inferred resources or interpreted exploration targets. Therefore, these were included in the valuation determination to reflect the lower end of the resource value ranges. The Mallee Bull transaction, while not excluded from the assessment, is considered by AMC to be an outlier as the cost per tonne is at the top end of the value ranges and more than twice the next transaction.

The ranges of yardstick values applied to each Mineral Resource category are: Indicated Resource: A$35/t to A$60/t. Inferred Resource: A$3/t to A$25/t.

For the valuation of Mineral Resources not in the Model, the tonnes of material reported as Ore Reserve were subtracted from the Mineral Resource inventory. These tonnes are considered by AMC as equivalent to mining of the oxide gold cap and copper Measured Mineral Resource.

For the valuation, the tonnes of contained copper equivalent were determined for the remaining Mineral Resource as shown in Table 9.2. Reported gold resource ounces were converted to copper equivalent tonnes using commodity prices of US$9,500/t copper, and US$1,900/oz gold. As such, the Mineral Resource to which the implied value was applied is as shown in Table 9.2.

Kalkaroo - 199 694 9.0 19.0 29.3

The total value for the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource not included in the Model by this method is between A$9.0 million and A$29.3 million, with a preferred value of A$19.0 million.

9.2 Past Expenditure method

AMC was provided past exploration expenditure information by Havilah. AMC reviewed this data as a possible second method of evaluation. The data provided dates from 2008 up to the Mineral Resource in 2017. In addition to exploration expenditure, the data includes infill drilling costs and expenditure for hydrogeological, metallurgical, scoping and pre-feasibility studies during the period. As the data is not purely exploration data, and adjustments were made, AMC considers the outcome of this method as a guide only.

Exploration expenditure data for the last five years typically reflects the level of exploration success being achieved. In this case approximately half the exploration expenditure was in 2008, with ongoing exploration work since that date implying positive sentiment in the early years of a successful discovery. As such, all of the expenditure is considered relevant to the successful discovery.

AMC considers a significant proportion of the total expenditure in the years leading up to 2018 was for proving up the Ore Reserves and other studies. Within the MLs hosting the Mineral Resource, the expenditure will also reflect size of the Mineral Resource, the density of drilling, and the area of investigation.

amcconsultants.com
45
Kalkaroo ITSR
Havilah Resources Limited
822008

The total past expenditure attributed by Havilah directly to the Kalkaroo deposit is approximately A$19 million. The MLs hosting the Mineral Resource with past expenditure has had a prospectivity enhancement multiple (PEM) applied. The PEMs range from 1.0 to 2.0 reflecting to proactive activities. The assessment of the expenditure and the PEM was adjusted to account for Mineral Resources within Ore Reserves, and expenditure associated with dense drilling and prefeasibility and other studies for the period. The valuation applies to that part of the Mineral Resources reported as at July 2018 that have not been included in the Model. At Kalkaroo, this is approximately 55% of the total Mineral Resources. Therefore, AMC considered half the total past expenditure to be for exploration. As such, the implied value, as a guide, for the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource not included in the Model by this method is between A$9.5 million and A$19 million, with a preferred value at the upper end of this range, reflecting the success of the exploration.

9.3 Valuation summary

AMC’s valuation of the Kalkaroo Mineral Resource that has not been included in the Model determined by the Yardstick Value method is between A$9.0 million and A$29.3 million with a preferred value of A$19.0 million. AMC considers the valuation using the Yardstick Values is more reliable than the valuation using Past Expenditures. The range of values for the Yardstick Valuation is due to the range of values per unit of metal from the comparable transactions that is applied to the large tonnage of Inferred Mineral Resource. The range for the Inferred Resources is A$3/t to A$25/t, and the calculation is sensitive to this range. However, AMC considers the range to be appropriate based on the transactions assessed.

The valuation using the Past Expenditure method required AMC to make some assumptions about the data, and this method was therefore used only as a check of the Yardstick Value method. However, the preferred value determined from the Yardstick Value method is supported by the outcomes of the Past Expenditure method.

The valuation of Kalkaroo Mineral Resource not included in the Model is summarized in Table 9.3.

12.2 Independence

AMC has considered its independence with respect to ASIC Regulatory Guide 112: Independence of Experts and is, in its opinion, independent of Havilah. AMC notes that:

  • In the interests of full disclosure, AMC advises that it prepared a draft independent technical specialist’s report in 2019 on the mineral assets of Havilah, one of which was Kalkaroo.

  • AMC is of the view that it is independent of Havilah and has no ongoing business relationship with any party in connection with Kalkaroo, or other mineral assets of Havilah.

  • While some employees of AMC and its subconsultants may have small direct or beneficial shareholdings in Havilah, neither AMC nor the contributors to this ITSR nor members of their immediate families have any interests in Havilah that could be reasonably construed to affect their independence. AMC has no pecuniary interest, association, or employment relationship with BDO or Havilah and has no interest in the outcome of the proposed transaction.

  • Havilah will pay AMC a fee according to AMC’s normal per diem rates for professional services, for the preparation of this ITSR, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The fee estimated at approximately A$35,000 is not contingent upon the outcome of the proposed transaction. AMC will receive no other benefit for the preparation of this ITSR.
