Background to the Resolutions

As announced to the ASX on 2 February 2026 (see ASX announcement Hawsons Secures $2.2M Placement), the Company undertook a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ) to provide funding for:

  • Works and study to determine the financial viability of producing a non-magnetic iron byproduct;

  • Optimisation and financial analysis of process waste handling processes;

  • Metallurgical and other processing test work;

  • Environmental and heritage works; and

  • Other preliminary works for the Feasibility Study.

Under or in connection with the Placement:

  • the Company issued 126,250,000 ordinary shares at $0.016 per share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $2,020,000 (before costs). Ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares is the subject of Resolution 1;

  • Placement participants received one free attaching option per share subscribed for, exercisable at $0.028 ( Placement Options ), with an expiry date of 6 February 2029. Ratification of the issue of the Placement Options is the subject of Resolution 2;

  • 12,625,000 Options were issued to Ignite Equity, the Lead Manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager Options ). Ratification of the issue of the Lead Manager Options is the subject of Resolution 3;

  • the Board committed $180,000 to support the Placement (subject to Shareholder approval). Approval of the issue of Shares and Options to the Directors in the subject of Resolutions 4-7.

Resolution 1 – Ratification of the issue of 126,250,000 Placement Shares to institutional and sophisticated investors under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and its additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 25 November 2025).

This Resolution is seeking to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue an amount of Equity Securities that represents more than 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period without the approval of its shareholders ( 15% Annual Placement Capacity ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may obtain shareholder approval to have the additional capacity to issue Equity Securities which represent up to 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period through placements over a 12month period following the annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). As noted above, the Company obtained Shareholder approval for the Additional 10% Placement Capacity at the Company’s annual general meeting on 25 November 2025.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s

Page 12 of 24

15% Annual Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and its Additional 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval for a 12-month period following the issue date for the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made. If they do, and provided that the issue has not breached ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A), the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as applicable) and no longer reduces the company's capacity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable).

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s ability, to the extent of the Placement Shares, to issue further capital during the next 12 months pursuant to the approval given pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and if the issue did not breach either of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue) without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act).

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be counted, as applicable, toward the 15% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months after the issue of the Placement Shares and the 10% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A for a period not later than the Company’s next annual general meeting.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out the requirements for notices of meetings at which shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the Company notes the following:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to various ‘sophisticated investors’ (section 708(8) Corporations Act) or ‘professional investors’ (section 708(11) Corporations Act). The Placement Shares were issued primarily to clients of Ignite Equity, the Lead Manager to the Placement, and other investors known to the Board.

  • (b) None of the following are being issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital:

  • (i) related parties of the Company;

  • (ii) KMP’s of the Company;

  • (iii) substantial holders in the Company;

  • (iv) advisers to the Company; or

  • (v) associates of any of the above.

  • (c) The Company issued 126,250,000 Placement Shares which are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Placement Shares are not subject to escrow restrictions and were issued on the same terms and rank pari passu with the Shares that were already on issue.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 6 February 2026.

  • (e) The Placement Shares were issued at $0.016 per Share.

Page 13 of 24

  • (f) The purpose of the issue was to provide funding for:

  • (i) Works and study to determine the financial viability of producing a nonmagnetic iron byproduct;

  • (ii) Optimisation and financial analysis of process waste handling processes;

  • (iii) Metallurgical and other processing test work;

  • (iv) Environmental and heritage works; and

  • (v) Other preliminary works for the Feasibility Study.

  • (g) A Voting Exclusion Statement for this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Ratification of the issue of 126,250,000 Placement Options to institutional and sophisticated investors under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution is seeking to ratify the issue of 126,250,000 Placement Options issued as part of the Placement.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than the amount representing 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12month period.

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

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the 126,250,000 Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the 126,250,000 Placement Options will continue to be deducted from the Company’s 15% Annual Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder Approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Accordingly, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the Placement Option issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.

Page 14 of 24

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Listing Rule 7.5 sets out the requirements for notices of meetings at which shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the Company notes the following:

  • (a) The Placement Options were issued to the subscribers of the Placement, being various ‘sophisticated investors’ (section 708(8) Corporations Act) or ‘professional investors’ (section 708(11) Corporations Act). The Placement Options were issued primarily to clients of the Lead Managers, together with investors known to the Board.

  • (b) None of the following are being issued more than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital:

  • (i) related parties of the Company;

  • (ii) KMP’s of the Company;

  • (iii) substantial holders in the Company;

  • (iv) advisers to the Company; or

  • (v) associates of any of the above.

  • (c) The Company issued 126,250,000 Placement Options.

  • (d) The Placement Options are exercisable at $0.028 and expire on 6 February 2029.

  • (e) The Placement Options were issued on 6 February 2026.

  • (f) The Placement Options were issued for nil consideration as they were issued free attaching to the Placement Shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Options. Should the holders of the Placement Options choose to exercise the Placement Options in line with their terms and conditions, then the Company will receive up to $3.535 million from the exercise of those options.

  • (g)

  • The terms of Placement Options issued are set out in Schedule 2.

  • (h) The purpose of the issue of the Placement Options was to assist the Placement in raising $2.02 million.

  • (i) A Voting Exclusion Statement for this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 3 – Ratification of the issue of 12,625,000 Lead Manager Options to Ignite Equity Pty Ltd under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Ignite Equity Pty Ltd acted as Lead Manager to the Placement and their fee arrangements were as follows:

  • (a) 6% cash fee payable on the total amount raised; and

  • (b) the issue of 12,625,000 options, exercisable at $0.028 with an expiry date of 6 February 2029 ( Lead Manager Options ).

The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% Annual Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue date for the Lead Manager Options. The issue of the Lead Manager Options issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in the Explanatory Statement for Resolution 2 above.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, and the issue of the Lead Manager Options is ratified by Shareholders, the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the limits under the Company’s 15% Annual Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 over the 12-month period following the issue date of the Lead Manager Options. Further, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future of up to the 15% Annual Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (subject to any other issues made without Shareholder approval using those capacities).

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the number of the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the limit under the Company’s 15% Annual Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out the requirements for notices of meetings at which shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the Company notes the following:

  • (a) The Lead Manager Options were issued to Ignite Equity Pty Ltd as part-payment for services provided to the Company as Lead Manager for the Placement.

  • (b) 12,625,000 Lead Manager Options are exercisable at $0.028 and expire on 6 February 2029.

  • (c) The material terms on which Lead Manager Options were issued are set out in Schedule 2.

  • (d) The Lead Manager Options were issued on 6 February 2026.

  • (e) The Lead Manager Options were issued for nil cash consideration as they were issued as partpayment for services provided to the Company by Ignite Equity Pty Ltd as Lead Manager for the Placement. Should Ignite Equity Pty Ltd choose to exercise the Lead Manager Options in line with their terms and conditions, then the Company will receive approximately $353,500 for the exercise of those securities. The Company intends to use any funds received on exercise of the Lead Manager Options for working capital purposes.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the Lead Manager Options was to provide part-payment for services provided to the Company by Ignite Equity Pty Ltd as Lead Manager for the Placement.

  • (g) A Voting Exclusion Statement for this Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 3.

Resolutions 4 – 7 Approval of the issue of Shares and Options to Directors to enable their participation in the Placement

Background

As noted above, the Company issued Placement Shares and Placement Options to various sophisticated and institutional investors at an issue price of $0.016 per Placement Share.

To support the Placement, the Directors agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 11,250,000 Shares at $0.016 each ( Director Shares ), together with 11,250,000 free attaching Options ( Director Options ), subject to shareholder approval, on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Shares and Placement Options were issued to non-related parties. As discussed below, the Company requires Shareholder approval before issuing securities to the Directors.

Therefore, the Directors have resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of:

  • 3,125,000 Director Shares and 3,125,000 Director Options to Mr Jeremy Kirkwood. Approval of these issues is the subject of Resolution 4;

  • 3,125,000 Shares and 3,125,000 Director Options to Ms Meredith Campion. Approval of these issues is the subject of Resolution 5;

  • 3,125,000 Shares and 3,125,000 Director Options to Mr Paul Cholakos. Approval of these issues is the subject of Resolution 6; and

  • 1,875,000 Shares and 1,875,000 Director Options to Mr Tom Revy. Approval of these issues is the subject of Resolution 7.

Approval for the issue of the Director Shares and Director Options is sought in accordance with the provisions of Listing Rule 10.11. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of that company without shareholder approval unless the benefit falls within one of the various exceptions to the general prohibition (see section 208 of the Corporations Act).

The issue of the Director Shares and Director Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and the Directors are related parties by virtue of being directors of the Company.

Given that the Director Shares and Director Options are proposed to be issued on identical terms as the Placement Shares and Placement Options were issued to non-related parties, the Directors consider that the issue of the Director Shares and Director Options falls within the “arm’s length terms” exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act and, accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the purpose of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, subject to any applicable exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, a company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party without the approval of the shareholders. For the purposes of the Listing Rules, a ‘related party’ includes a director of a public company. The Directors are related parties of the Company.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 is being sought for the issue of the Director Shares and the Director Options in accordance with Resolutions 4 – 7.

Page 17 of 24

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. By obtaining approval under Listing Rule 10.11, the Director Shares and Director Options will be excluded when calculating the Company’s Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If any of the Resolutions 4, 5, 6 or 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Director Shares and Director Options to the relevant Director.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 - 7:

(a) The proposed recipients of the Director Shares and Director Options are set out in the table below:

Mr Paul Cholakos 3,125,000 3,125,000 6
Mr Tom Revy 1,875,000 1,875,000 7
  • (b) The Directors are directors of the Company and accordingly fall under the definition of related party under Chapter 19 of the Listing Rules. Each Director is a Related Party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1 due to their position as Director of the Company. Any nominee(s) of the Directors who receive securities may constitute associates for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4.
